Pregnancy after Miscarriage or Loss #1

Mich - 75 is awesome! I don't think mine ever got that high with DD's pregnancy!

HPL - so thrilled for your feeling of positivity. I'm feeling it too :hug:

Mke - congrats on your scan! Two girls will be wonderful, and your DD will love having a sister.

Saw my Dr today, got a fresh script for Maxolon, I'm leaning on it pretty heavily this time. She remembered how unwilling I was to even take a panadol last time round - how far I've come. We laughed about vomiting, and she told me that the more morning sickness you get, the more likely you are to have a smart kid. Apparently there was some study a few years ago. I blame DH and his three degrees, making genetically smart babies that make me spew!

WOW Mich78 59,500 HCG! WOOHOO :dance: thats awesome

Audax - LOL re the theory of vomiting makes for a smart baby, mine mustnt be at all brainy then LMAO I've had 0 morning sickness this time round. Ahhh well hahahahaha

HPL - thanks for the positivity :hug:, I dont know I have a feeling about my little one too and that he/she will be with us for a long time so :crossfingers:


AFM - I didnt get to the docs ontime (thanks to a burst water main on Parra Rd!) for a BT yesterday so still just thinking positive and letting it ride for now.
Any thoughts on using Veet depilatory cream for your upper lip whilst UTD? I havent used it just incase but am starting to get desperate LOL
:help:

Hi Ladies,

Audax: I have maxalon here too but some far havent needed it... my DH on the other hand has been suffering from severe MS and cravings and wild mood swings... such a nice break lol - I like your theory on the worse MS the smarter the kids... I like to this DD is quite bright and my MS with her lasted from day dot to 30weeks... ALL DAY EVERY DAY....

Mia: bugger about the BT but i guess this way you can enjoy your weekend without worrying (even just a little) about the results... Glad you have a positive feeling about this bubs too...

I have a question.... What are your thoughts on the Digital HPT?? I have used them before and they have been quite accurate... I have just taken one as I am completely 100% addicted to POAS lol and it came up with 3+weeks... Now according to me - which i have to admit this is the only month in my life that i bothered to track my ovulation - I should only be 2weeks post ovulation - 2 week 3 days at a stretch... but this test was BAM 3+ so I am wondering if I have gotten my dates wrong??? To be honest I would LOVE to be further along than I thought.... Just wanted your thoughts thats all.

Hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!!

HPL - the digis work on weeks past conception. So stop stressing!

Hi all, on my phone do just a quick update :)
I saw a heartbeat of 120 at my scan this morning!! So happy to see something in the sac this time. Apparently it's measuring 5wks 5 days. I know I'm 6 wks exactly so I'm hoping there's just a lot of margin for error at this early stage!

HPL- i once looked up the hcg levels for those digital tests. I have a vague memory that 3+ weeks is hcg of 2000 and above, but don't quote me!!!

Great news Mich!!!

:happyforyou: Mich thats awesome ;)
Wish my scan was sooner! Have you had more symptoms?

Thanks Maruschke and Mia :hug:
Mia- not much in the way of symptoms here. Sore boobs, pimply face and greasy hair mostly! Yuk :doh: I definitely don't have morning sickness (so no smart baby here either, ha ha!!). I feel like I occasionally have a 1 second twinge of sick feeling, then it goes and I don't know if I've imagined it! How about you?
Hi all :)

Maruschke: i was stalking you, good to see your scan went well, congrats on your little girl :)

Mich: wwhhhoo so happy for you, you must have so relieved to see that little :heartbeat: :happyforyou::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

HPL: sounds like your numbers are increasing well

Audax: i hope the maxalon is helping you

mia: how are you going ? not too long until your scan now :)

afm: im going ok, i rang the clinic the other day to ask them for another blood test this week, they thought i was ringing because something was wrong, i felt like saying how would i know if it was at this stage !! anyway im going for a blood test tuesday and then the scan thursday, if the number tues is bad im not going to go for the scan, im scared enough as it is and i just can't bare to see bad news.
im pleased to see you all feeling so positive, im hoping some of it rubs off on me !

:hello: ladies

Ive been nervous all wkend, not for any particular reason i guess not knowing for sure everythn is ok is doin my head in. I went to my gp to see if i cld get a scan today but she said its bter i wait till nxt wk incase its too little to see :dunno: so she thought its best to wait sigh! She gav me a paper for an u/sound place near home so i went anyways but d rudest receptionist said they were fully booked until wednesday. I willl just wait rill monday just a lil sad i cant see it today :( i know i hav to b patient

Congratulations to all you mummies. Wishing you all a smooth, trouble free pg.

Just stepping in to say I got a BFP this morning. Very, very early days yet and not getting excited yet.

My first thought was 'here we go again, how long before I lose this one?' But I will try to be positive and just enjoy the ride, no matter how short (but hopefully at least 8 more months).

OMG! Im pg again!!!

DG!!! So so so happy for you hun. Sending all the sticky vibes I can muster :hug:.

DG!!! So happy for you right now... I've come in here very early too... We can be cautiously excited together!! Hope this one sticks!!!

Hi DG! Welcomes!

Mich that's great news. Even if it is behind, to have a heartbeat at that size is awsm.

DG: yay and welcome, we know how scary it is but great to see you here :)

mia: shame about the ultrasound, i had the same thought myself but i will have to wait until later in the week

hi to everyone else :hello:

*** sneaks in ***

:hooray: DG!!!! I am sending you the biggest amount of sticky vibes EVER!! Congratulations on your BFP... Praying my hardest that you get to meet this little one in 8 months time!!! :hug:

*** sneaks out ***

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

Mia - sorry to hear about your u/s but at least you will have a better chance of hearing a h/b.

DG - OMG OMG OMG I have been thinking about you and here you are!!! So damn excited for you hun!!

BBL - have to read through! Haven't posted much as the toilet is my new friend!!

Hi ladies,

Mia: sorry you didn't get your scan today.... As the others have said this wayi guess it gives a better chance to see that strong heartbeat xxx

Hope all you other ladies are having a good evening....


I got my second bt results back, very happy, so at 12dpo I was 116 then at 19dpo i'm 1982!!!! so very happy, now just to Wally three more Weeks fur our first scan..... I checked the beta database DVD i'm more on par got twins than single lol...must be a string little bubba I've got in here...

Belly rubs to all... Oh yeah speaking of belly bumps i've already started to get a bloated belly, granted this its my fourth pregnancy but still I just look fast and squishy lol

That's awesome news! Great numbers :D.

HPL - Those are great numbers. I hope that gives you some confidence xx

Omg!!!!!

Just need to clarify that I can spell and am not a complete idiot!!!! I was watching in the night garden with DD and trying to type using my phone one handed and one fingered lol... Just wanted too make clear :)

Lol HPL i hav d same issue when im updating on my iphone :) i have a belly alrdy too n its my first!!! This baby is hungry ALL the time, i actually was doin grocery shopping n saw a strawberry move (small bottle lucky) n had to hav it, i cldnt even wait to pay at d register! I skulled it! D check out chick just laughed n said she had d same thing.

Quick q, anyone know a good anti stretch mark cream i can get?? I hav sme alrdy from when i was little (i was never fat but just developed them for no reason) but dnt want to get more any suggestions welcome

People are starting to guess. Arghhhh! How do I not tell? Two friends in the last three days have come straight out and said "Are you pregnant?" How do they know? HOW? What do I answer to that question?

Mia - I used Gaia Belly Butter. I got no stretch marks until I was 41 weeks and 2 days, I forgot to put it on that day and one appeared by 5pm. DD was born 2 days later, and it faded, but yeah, highly recommend it.

HPL - Hope the Wally for your scan is not too arduous :rofl:

chepie - Oh hai Belly Buddy!

Thanks Audax :) Appreciate it, will definately get that one sounds good.

AFM - still plodding along LOL no REAL big symptoms just sore bb's on occassion in the morning and more hunger then usual.
Apart from that nothing to report, no maroon CM :pray: that doesnt happen again as it happened last time when I had my m/c
Sending you all sticky dust :loveshower:

Hi everyone.

HPL - I have to admit, I had a little giggle about the auto-correct.

Audax - Its a tough one when people ask and you're not ready to tell.

Chepie - sorry to hear your so sick. I hope it settles down soon.

AFM - Well the bloating has well and truly set in, I look about 3 mths pg. I suppose thats normal for pg no 7, lol.

Hi lovely ladies

I find that I don't post in here very often so my apologies for barging in but DG just saw you post in here, so so so happy for your darl. Sending the stickiest of sticky vibes that you're going to get really fat and uncomfortable in the coming months and then spend the next year sleep deprived with a beautiful baby in your arms :)

Congrats to all of you other ladies as well. May your journeys be boring and uneventful. PAL is tough. I'll try pop in more often. We all need each others support.

Big hugs!

Thanks so much Dantri. I wish you all the best for the rest of your pg and beyond xx.

:goodluck: Minnie on your scan today, not sure how you went on your BT but hoping all is going heaps well and you see your little munchkin on screen!

AFM- nothing much to report, I think I ate too much and now I feel a little queasy! LOL
Ironic cos in about 2 hours I'll feel starving again and the roller coaster continues LMAO But I love it.
Cant wait till Monday!

thanks Mia but it hasn't been a good few days for me and once again im having to step out of this thread

wishing you girls the best of luck with the rest of your pregnancies, this recurrent miscarriage has me beat now

Minnie NOOOOO that is not fair and not right. WTF is the universe doing :(.

So so so sorry :(.

Minnie - I am so extremely sorry to read this. :crying: This is so unfair.

Recurrent m/c is such a cruel, horrible thing to have happen over and over again. Please look after yourself.

Thinking of you xx:hug:

Minnie- Babe I am so sorry life is so damn cruel and unfair sometimes xoxo

Minnie - Oh no no no no no no, thats just so not fair, I second the WTF comment... thats just so sad!!!

be kind to your self and your body.... hugs xxxx

OMG Minnie :hug: I'm sure you are getting a lot of support at home but always know we are here for you :grouphug:

Minnie - :grouphug:
I am so so sorry and so p****d off at the universe for you!!! How much can one person take? :cry:
Look after yourself really well :(

thanks everyone, i can't believe this has happened at the same stage for the 3rd time, we went to ivf in the hope to eliminate this problem but it obviously hasn't made any difference :-(

Oh Minnie.... All I want to do is give you a massive hug and kick the universes butt!!! We all know how difficult this time can be please take care xx

Minnie - Im sorry IVF didnt make a difference. Its awful when you think youve solved the problem and yet you still go and m/c anyway. I hope you are coping ok.

Why do these things have to happen :dunno: :shakehead: I send minnie a big :hug:

AFM - just waiting for Monday and my first u/s, I'm scared but hoping all is ok...
