Parenting after LTTTC #2

[Lenny]

Awww Shan that sux. I'm so sorry hun. I really don't know what to say. You're not selfish at all. Yes, you have two beautiful darlings, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't feel gutted by this cycle. It must have been a nasty shock.

marcellus - yuk, why are you doing an HRT cycle?? It's all a bit exciting though isn't it! Little A is going to be a big brother

You both made me feel lucky again...how many people get a BFP from a natural FET.

Farmgirl - i hope things are getting better for you.

So, where IS everyone else...???

I is here - just not posting much! been a bit quiet around here - posting in general threads but not so much the parenting ones (go figure!)

Shannon, I was just thinking of you the other day, remembering that you were thinking of going back for number 3.
So sorry your cycle was crap. That really sucks.

Don't feel bad to feel bad - it's perfectly understandable. Wanting more doesn't mean you don't appreciate what you already have.

I really hope that this was just a one-off bad experience. Sometimes it's just about good or ****ty luck, you know? Our first cycle we ended up with zero eggs. Then the next one we got A.

I almost wanted to ask about doing a tracking cycle - i think i'm ovulating. But I rarely did before, so that's why HRT, I presume. Most likely they just want to manage it as much as possible in any case. My bf did this a while back (has her little girl now ) and it just sucked how she had to take soo many pills & pessaries, three times a day.... oh well. it's all worth it I guess.

Hi all

Hi All

Just popping in to introduce myself, I know some of the girls in here already from the LTTTC and Pregnancy Thread and have now graduated myself.

Our beautiful Princess TARA ROSE was born on Monday 12th October, weighing 3200 grams (7lbs) via elective c/s. The c/s was my decision due to some bladder issues, but during delivery they also found that I was placenta previa anyway so the best outcome all round.

I have been home since last Saturday and seem to be coping well. She is an absolute dream baby and only crys when she wants feeding. Hopefully over the next however long, I can share my parenting experiences with you all and most importantly learn some things along the way.

Anyway, better go and get some housework done while Tara is sleeping.

Hi Kelly and welcome over here to the other side
Gosh that's lucky about the placenta, isn't it?

Glad to hear you're going well - do shout out if you have any probs or worries. And definately let us know all about your gorgeous daughter.

Here's my first bit of advice - don't do housework!

[Shannon22]

Welcome Kelly and hueg congratulations on Tara Sounds like you had the best possible outcome for you both!

Lol i agree with Marcellus no housework! :P

Thanks for the ears the other day ladies i really appreciate it.

Oh and Marcellus huge congrats on the mod role!! Absolutely perfect fit with you and Lenny running the place we are in great hands!!

I also had the hugest scare today with the kids..went to the bathroom came back Julia is eating a dorito and then i realised they also smashed my glass and Owen was sucking on a broken peice of glass (heart attack and a half!) and then whilst i am cleaning the glass up i notice Julia is missing.... she went through the safety gate and was sitting on the back deck at the top of the stairs with the dog! I need a drink....

Hi to all.

Oh no Shannon - now I need a drink!
I know it won't make you feel any bettr, but I once found DS sucking on.... fibreglass. I don't know where it came from

Thanks - trust me, I'm not running anything

[Lenny]

LOL - running around like crazies

Hi Kelly, welcome to you and to Tara too. Hope things are settling in nicely for you.

Shan - you are a legend for coping with two toddlers. I can't imagine how hard that is. hope you are feeling a little better
