Parenting After Loss or Miscarriage November 2010

Oh Mako, I hope your DH is okay :hug: I hope the Drs can figure it out ASAP so he can be on the mend. Good luck for Thursday, I'll be thinking of you, and anxiously waiting to hear what your Ob has to say xoxo

OH Mako, I'm so sorry to hear that he is still unwell. Before I go into that, I wish I could reach through my computer & slap you!!! If you even think you need to lose ANY weight, then I think you need therapy!!!! My goodness chick, you are skinnier than the word skinny itself - don't for one second think you need to lose so much as a drop of sweat!!!!

As for DH, that must be really tough going through so many tests & them not bringing anything back, but him still remaining sick. I bet you're all worried out your mind - hopefully the tests return something really minor that is easily corrected & he can get well again. I'll be thinking of you! xx

Love Jayne xx

Oh Mako... your poor DH. Sounds terrible, I hope you get some answers. Good luck with the post op appointment too.. I hope you get some answers from that too. I just know you're going to get your much wanted bub this year... we're all praying for you!!

Yeah, we've had a MUCH better day today. I'm so proud that I managed to get the house cleaned!! Campbell was heaps better but still had some very unsettled moments throughout the day. His needles went well yesterday but he was not impressed. Cried a lot more than Luke ever did but it didn't last too long. Luke keeps saying "Campbell wasn't very brave was he".. so cute! We're very excited about heading back to Perth this week.

Bun - we need to organise a catch up!!! Did you end up finding a house?? If so, where?? Let me know when you're free.

Jayne - Yay on getting some snow... sooo exciting!!!

Sorry, that's about all I have the brainpower for tonight. I'm still in disbelief about all the flooding happening in QLD.. it's sooo devistating and upsetting. I can't imagine what they're all going through up there... the world is such a strange and very cruel place at times and I'm struggling with that. My thoughts are with everyone in QLD and with everyone that has family and friends in QLD.

KEL _ I'm so glad to hear that today is a better day than yesterday. WTG on Campbell pulling up great from his needles. Love it how Luke thinks he isn't brave. lol. I'll bet you're excited to take Campbell to Perth & show him to all your friends there & of course your Mum. I'll bet she flips when she sees how much weight he has put on!!!

Must fly, my man has just come in from work. We are cooking prawns for dinner. Oh my taste buds are excited!!!

Oh my, I almost forgot, you will never guess what they have in stock at the Hisense atm.................. TIM TAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I nearly cried when I saw them. Small things.........

Love Jayne xx

LOL Jayne, you are soooo funny! Have some Tim Tams for meeeeee! Just as I started typing this, DH (who is working on the other computer, the one with Skype on it) says "who is Jayne S_____?". I cracked up laughing and said I was just typing a message to you LOL. Apparently your name keeps popping up.

Kelly, glad you had a better day :). I keep meaning to ask you, you know that nightlight you have in your toilet? Where did you get it from? I want one for DJ's room. Bet you can't wait for Thursday, and your mum must be so excited too!!! She and Graham are going to die when they see how big Campbell is now!!!!! Is Dean around while you're there? Oh, oh, did you get the black bathers??? Or have you got the patterned ones?

Ohhhh Tim Tams... yummo... now I want some!!! LOL.

Janie - I think Ryann got that little light from the supermarket.. it's great.. we've got a similar one in Luke's room. That reminds me.. I'd better remember to pack it for Perth.. I'll want it at Mum's!! Oh, I keep meaning to message you about the bathers!! Couldn't find the black one's at Doncaster but I happened to walk past Bras n Things and remember I had a voucher for them (from my birthday).. so thougt I'd see if they had bathers and found a much better pair for only $30!!! So I took the patterned one's back and used my voucher to get the bras n things ones. It's a tankini and bottoms.. so not one piece like I wanted but they're really nice and I'm much more comfortable in them. Different style too.. i'm sure there'll be some photos of me in them from Perth.. it's going to be hot, hot, hot over there, so I think we'll spend a lot of time in Mum's pool.. I can't wait. I'm sooo excited and have started packing today.. woo hoo. We don't leave until tomorrow night though.. I hope the night flight goes ok!!

Jayne - PMSL at tim tams, but im sooooo happy that you are sound so happy and you are enjoying life in China. How are the precious princesses??

Kel - enjoy Perth, you deserve a little break!

Mako - good luck at the ob sweets, hope your DH gets some answers and he can start to get better. My mum recently went through something similar and after what seemed like a million tests it turned out that her gall bladder was inflamed and she had it removed, she is better for it now.

Hope your all well, and to all the QLD lovelies, stay safe, and God be with you and your families and friends xxx

Hey Lisa - Thanks for asking. Jessica was a NIGHTMARE over the weekend - to the point I considered selling her to a Chinese family (just kidding!), but I am happy to report that she has been amazingly well behaved ever since. Does everything I ask of her the FIRST time (not always without complaint), does her homework, & overall been a real pleasure. I wish I could report the same from Claudia. Today has been an improvement (but she was at school all day too, lol), but I am SICK of the freaking tears over EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! It's instant as well, no warm up to it, just from zero to physco in a second. I hate it. I am beginning to wonder if she has delayed Terrible 2's? This is the first time she has ever really given me grief & she is almost 4!!! How are your 2 babies? IS Miss N still sleeping like a trooper? How is Miss A? Is she still doing daycare? Am I remembering correctly? Is she off to kinder this year?

KELLY _ Have so much fun in Perth babe. You are definitely going to work out your poolside bod that's for sure. It's sweltering in Perth. When it's so hot it doesn't make me jealous that I"m stuck in winter while it's Summer in Aus though. Sometimes the heat is just too icky. KWIM? But you will have so much fun & so much help from your Mum & it'll be great. I'm sure the night time flight will be perfect as well! Luke is a good traveller already.

JANIE _ Oh well, you might as well tell DH to flick me a text on Skype - given that you NEVER do! bahahahhaa. I will be his new cyber friend. lol.

I better fly, 2 kids in bath having so much fun, it's bound to end in tears.

Love Jayne x

Mako - I read about your DH going for test etc the other day and I've been crossing my fingers that all is ok. Good luck with your ob apt too.

Kel - Enjoy Perth

Jayne - My girls sound very similar to yours. I can't motivate Sara to help me at all, Loren is going from happy to ballistic in a second over very menial things and Eva is just a little tiny pocket rocket full beans and tantrums. I am having serious bedtime issues with Eva atm. Tonight it took me 2 hours to finally get her down. She just yells outs, kicks the wall or screams. If I try and rock her she scratches and hits me but if I leave she screams so hard she makes herself sick...Did I mention I need a holiday??? Sorry for the rant lol.
Hi everyone. I am going to make a point of coming in and doing some personals very soon.

Thanks to you all for your thoughts and well wishes..DH still isn't showing any real sign of improvement but will hopefully know more in a few hours.
My appointment went ok I guess..Walked out of there feeling a little more confident to some point and frustrated to another if that makes any sense. I now have another script for clomid and metformin and am to take that along with the DHEA for 1 cycle and if that doesn't work then just back to the clomid and metformin as the DHEA works the best within the 3 month time frame apparently..My OB said I did have a lot of endo which she removed and all looked good after that so she thinks its just a matter of time before we have a baby on the way..I asked her if she REALLY felt that way or was just saying that to keep me happy and she said NO she REALLY does think its going to happen sometime soon and even put her bets on the DHEA working for us so that means if its not this cycle then its the next..We shall see hey ;) I did ask her if she thought we were wasting our time with ttc and all that goes with it (cos I feel that way at times and wanted her to tell me her honest opinion) and she said no she is confident that we will have another take home bub sometime in the future and not to give up. She also told me that if she felt we were wasting our time then she'd tell me straight out and that she has told some people that before. So I now keep on keeping on and go back in April unless we need to before.

Sorry no time for personals but I do hope everyone is ok and especially those who are in QLD. I hope all your friends and families are safe :hug:

Mako, that sounds really positive :) I can understand you being hesitant to be optimistic, but your Ob really sounds like she thinks it will happen for you (as do I :)), I just hope it's really soon!!! Okay, so now we wait for your next bit of news, I hope your DH's results show something useful :hug: Please post ASAP, we're all waiting xoxo

MAKO _ I'm really happy to hear that your OB appointment went really well today & that your OB does openly say that she can really see no reason why you can't have a take home bubba this year. It's wonderful news & hopefully it will lift your spirits about it all as well - given that a 'professional' has a positive outlook on it as well. KWIM? I completely understand your anguish about the whole TTC stuff & I really hope that everything swings in your favour. I know how much you deserve it babe. :hug: Any news about DH?

Love Jayne x

Thanks Janie and Jayne. I am feeling a bit more positive knowing that my dr is also feeling confident about our chances too.
As for dh his tests came back clear and he goes back to the gp on tuesday if he's no better and will be sent to a surgeon to see about having a camera put down his throat to check for an ulcer. I just wish he was better :(

Far out Mako - that's hardcore. What's he actually feeling? Like is he vomiting, lethargic, in pain, stomach cramps? I can't imagine feeling so dreadful for such a long time. Must be even worse for a man (sorry!!! bahahah). What makes them think of an ulcer?

Jayne If he wasn't throwing up and looking plain awful I'd say he was putting it on. I know I'm a meanie lol.
But he most certainly has something wrong and he's feeling sick constantly and throwing up but when he does this WARNING TMI its only like a bile stuff not actual food vomit itms. So he's been taking Maxalon to help stop the "vomiting" and Somac as what he's bringing up is apparently very acidic and burns and caused issues with his tongue early on. I'm not too sure what the long term issues are with taking these meds are and TBH he isn't keen on taking them at all but its the only way he can get through the day and night atm.

Oh Mako, that's awful :( I really hope they can figure it out ASAP, sounds like an gastroscopy is the way to go. Poor J, he must be feeling awful.

Far out Mako, that sounds wretched. I really feel for him. I'm vomit-phobic so I'm shuddering just thinking about it. I can't even imagine how crud he must feel. :( I really hope there are answers right around the corner for him. Also for you! :hug:

OK, well aren't I a total twat :(

Mako - I'm so sorry. I was just saying to DH last night that something was going on with you, that you weren't yourself. Now I know why. I'm so sorry I haven't been in here earlier to check up on everyone, I didn't realise your DH (just typed his name then...whoops!) was still unwell - was he unwell while we were away? I seriously didn't pick up on that but then again I'm sure he wasn't exactly advertising the fact either iykwim?

I'm glad your appt went well enough and that you have a plan. I love that you asked those questions and I'm glad you got an honest answer. Gives you a bit more hope to keep on keeping on. For what it's worth, I agree with your Ob, I firmly believe you guys will have another beautiful bub join your family soon. I just wish the road hadn't been so hard :hug:

I hope DH (just did it again!) is feeling better soon or you at least get some answers. I had a friend who had an ulcer and it made her unwell for quite a while till they worked out what it was.

I always feel like such a loser when this happens - you ALWAYS know when all my important appts are, you ALWAYS txt me on the day. I'm so sorry :(
