[Yogi Bear]

Hi ladies!

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas & a fantastic New Year! Its so great to finally be in this thread after years of struggle and I count my blessings every single day. As the years have gone on and each time we have said "next year will be our year"...DH & I are so truly happy to finally be having a christmas with a wiggly bubba in my belly. Its still so hard to believe really!

Big congratulations JBM on the safe arrival of your precious miracle...may 2012 be filled with loads of love & cuddles

Welcome & congrats to the new ladies, I look forward to sharing our pregnancy journeys into next year.

Coral...a hint for us on the sex???...so happy to hear all is going well.

I've been quiet on here lately, not much to tell really. Bub is going well, i have another scan in 3 weeks.

I have been thinking of you all...thank you everyone for all your support throughout the year
Have a wonderful xmas and see ya in 2012

Much love
Yogi

[Maruschke]

Well I had a rather interesting Christmas. Diagnosed with late onset mild OHSS and a ruptured cyst so was in ER for 6 hours. That sucked! But the good news is that our little bubba is in the right spot (they suspected ectopic), size is right for dates, and has a hr of 120. Yay and boo!

[sarah4kurt]

omg maruschke!!!! thats crazy!! i hope you are ok now?? and wow the bub has a nice heart beat thats awsome!! xoxoxo phew u can relax now i hope...

does anybody now ho long between tests does your BFP line get darker? i want to see the lie get darker but dot know how long between tests i should wait?? llol a crazy thing in my hed i guess cause im having a hard time believing i got a BFP and dont wnt to lose it haha but no period still so thats a good sign right!... when do i get to completely relax about it all lol?? first scan? mid trimester? when did you feel you could relax a little? i know after waiting so long an wanting so much you just are scared it will be taken away i guess!! but if i focus on the positives which i think is good i Got A BFP didnt get af and drs are closed so until proven oherwise im going with pregnant self diagnosis .... xo

[Maruschke]

It took 2 days for my FRER to get noticably darker and I started freaking out when I couldn't see it continue to get darker. I'd say test again . Santa has been good this year .

[Coral73]

Yogi Bear - Thx for the Chrissy well wishes! Christmas will a little jelly bean on board is always a good one - yay !!! I hope Santa was good to you .

Maruschke - OMG! That sounds terrible and really scary... I am glad to hear that things were well with you little jelly bean . Can't imagine how nerve wracking a wait that must have been! Hope you were able to have a nice Chrissy despite the hospital trip!

sarah4kurt - I'm really sorry to hear that you have had some bleeding (I read it in another thread)... it is such a scary thing to experience . If it is old blood (brown) than that can be ok.... I even actually had some bright red blood the day my BT was due and thought AF had arrived only to find out later that day that I was UTD. I really hope that things are ok and that your little bean is sticky one . We are here for you if you need to chat .

Hello to all the other ladies and I hope you are all travelling well.

AFM - Things going well with me and had a really great Christmas. Yogi Bear... I don't want to jinx myself but it is looking like Little Bean is what we hoped for - yay!!! So counting down until the 4 January to hopefully confirm !

Marushke - Sounds like an eventful and stressful xmas but so glad you have what looks like a healthy bub in there. Lets hope the rest of your pg is smooth sailing.

Sarah - hoping things progress ok for you. I haven't seen the other thread but try not to stress to badly if you have some bleeding. I have had loads in all my pgs and although I have lost more than my fair share, I have also had two successes.

Coral - Glad things going well for you. Do we presume we may have a pink one on board?

AFM - Things not great here. Still have ongoing on and off bleeding and cramping. Mostly old blood but who knows what is going on in there. With my history it could go either way.
Really stressed out these last few days especially with no readily available Drs. Have managed to squeeze in with GP this morning to get a reffferal so I can see my OB this afternoon. Hopefully he can at least do a quick scan. I want it but kinda dreading it IYKWIM. Although I'm very worrried at present, I can still cling on to hope that all is ok with bubs. Once I have that scan, however, I won't be able to live in denial if things are bad. Just don't know if I can go through another loss - really, really don't want to have to deal with all that emotion again. Guess I've got to know sometime though.

[Maruschke]

Meredith such a stressful time. I'll be thinking of you all afternoon. Won't be here for a few days to check but hoping it is the best of news.

I am a bit worried we haven't heard from Happy Baby

[JBM]

sarah: my line never got darker. so i did one of those $ 20 digital tests. it came up and said pregnant 2 - 3 weeks right away !!. good luck to you.

hi to all my old friends

AFM: well Hunter is a very good baby and i prob wont be posting in here much now as i'm moving to the parenting thread !!. what a year i have had from LTTC to preg after LTTC and now parenting after LTTC threads.
he is 12 days old now and starting to get into good day and night time feeds. BF is starting to agree with us both too. it is amazing how you need to re - learn with every baby.

luv to all

Meredith how did you go??

[MeredithD]

HI girls - just didn't get the chance to get on last night.
Bad news is that the bleeding still goes on. HOwever, good news is that a quick scan at my OB yesterday showed a little bean measuring exact for dates and a little HB. His machine ism't as great as the u/s places so all looked a bit hazy to me and didn't get a HR but he was happy with how things looked so I'm content with that too......... PHEW!
NO sign of where the bleeding coming from so guess I just have to live with it and pray it doesn't worsen.
Still going to go for my "official" IVF scan next week so will feel even more reassured if all ok then.

Phew! Must be somewhat of a relief to see a heartbeat. FX the bleeding stops for you and the next scan everything is still on track I still have 12 days til my next scan and it feels like eternity. ALL my symptoms have stopped and although I know academically that this is normal, it still freaks me out.

Coral - Posting in here as I have seen you have posted in this thread recently! Tried to pm you but your inbox is full! Would love to chat with you soon!

to all you pregnant ladies!

[Loops12]

Hi Lovely Ladies
Sorry Ive been MIA for so long - work is frantic at the moment as we are short staffed and its the tourism season. I can't wait to finish in March

Pleased to see you all going well - Merideth ~ glad your scan went well and FX'd everything progresses well despite the bleeding

JBM ~ sorry its late but huge CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of Hunter!

Also sorry its late but I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and New Year and wishing you all much peace and happiness in 2012! Exciting times ahead!

AFM ~ all 3 of us are doing well apart from some financial strain still - but can't complain. Bubs is doing beautifully with lots of movements happening. Only minor concern is my placenta is slightly low but not covering the cervix at the moment which is good.

Best wishes all xoxo

[JBM]

loops: my placenta was still low at my 20 week scan but must have moved at some stage. lol. hope all is going well and you get some time to relax during this silly season.
good luck to you

[MeredithD]

HI ladies. Have been MIA lately as sooo stressed out by this pg. Add the all day nausea and exhaustion and i'm a bit of a wreck really!
Bleeding has continued on and on and peaked on new years day with a massive, pouring out type flow (sorry TMI). Managed to shuffle tome visitors out the door without saying to much then headed for the ER. They did a quickie scan - baby still there with HB and Dr was fairly positive but then I got home and saw on the u/s pic that bubs measured small for dates. I tried not to think to much of it given it was by no means a "formal" scan. However, I have had this before and baby died within a week so of course have been stressing all over again.
Today finally had my "official" IVF scan and all looks good at this stage........ PHEW, nearly cried! HR 154 and baby measuring exact for dates on their machine. Still no sign where all this blood coming from. Just wish it would stop so I could relax even a little bit.

Anyway, Hope everyone else is doing ok .

Loops - plenty of time for the placenta to move so hopefully won't be an issue

Marushke - how are you doing BUddy?!

[Maruschke]

Hey Meredith... sorry to hear the bleeding continues, must be a huge stress . But it is great to see a healthy hb! I also have all day nausea and tiredness to the extreme. Made it back to work today with a few hits of maxalon. My scan is tuesday and I am hanging out to see if bubs is OK, I should be 8w4d. Cramping pretty bad tonight but trying not to think too much about it... Otherwise, I worry about HappyBaby and hope she is coping ok.


Loops - lots of time for the placenta to move, I hope it does on time, FX for you

Hope everyone else is doing good.
