Hope Positive Love, Thinking of you this morning and hoping that all is well and shall be well--
To everyone else-- I am stalking here... 'doing ok after miscarriage. I had another ultrasound and bloodwork to make sure that I was "back at zero." No residual tissue and my body is going through the motions again. We were told that we could try another IVF cycle in January-- we will need to see what the insurance people say. In the meantime, I am trying to get more physical activity and lose a few pounds-- keep the endorphins running strong. LOL.
One of my parishioners gave me a child's play nativity. It had been a baby gift for our little son who died. She didn't know what to do with it and couldn't return it. She wanted to acknowledge that he lived. It was a sweet thing to do-- she had tears in her eyes -- and I was grateful that she cared to talk to me about her dilemma. Under the circumstances, it was extremely touching-- and it had been enough time that I could handle it gracefully and with gratitude. Plus, the toy nativity is ADORABLE.
Sunshine -I am so very touched that your parishoner was able to give you the gift she had intended for little O. She was and is obviously holding little O and you in her heart. Well done for being able to accept the gift with such grace and humility. GL with the endorphin rush. In my experience it does help. January isn't too far away, but it will be a hard time emotionally for you no doubt. I hope the insurance company comes through for you and DH. Go gently as you heal. Life after the death of your child and losses is very very different, as you already know. Holding you and all of your family in my heart.
Well thought I would pop in quickly and say a HUGE CONGRATS to Dory, awesome news darl. Hope everything goes extremely well for you and hugs for being HIGH risk darl, seems we are in the same boat on that catergory. But as long as you have a happy healthy little bub at the end it is all worth while.
Loops~ Big WOOHOO for making it to the 12 weeks darl, awesome fabulous news. How is everything going for you?
Would love to catch up with you all still feeling pretty darn exhausted here and still having times where I am now not throwing up but dry reaching every day still, for the last 2 weeks I have been suffering bad hay fever and having a few problems keeping my sugar levels low so looks like I am heading into having to Insulin, not impressed about that at all. Last check up with my GP was last week and everything seems great with our bub I have my 20 week scan in 2 weeks time so I am kind of looking forward to seeing bub but very scared about it all. We are hoping we will be able to find out if we are having a little boy or girl, I am thinking it has to be a bundle of blue in there. But then I thought the very same thing with DD and I was wrong, lol. I am trying to keep up to date with every body in here but between being sick and exhausted and running DD to school everyday as I have taken her off her bus now as I went to get her off the bus one afternoon and she was out like a light I walked onto the bus to hear the bus driver abusing her for being asleep, I was not impressed at all. How dare she speak to my daughter like that, she is only 6y.o and she was obviously very tired. Sorry for the rant I guess I am still peeved at the bus driver.

I am officially now a member ladies. Had my scan this morning, the sonographer exclaimed almost as soon as he put the doppler on my belly, "You've got a live one!".
Measuring exactly to my dates, 8 weeks today at 1.52cm with a heartrate of 150bpm. My little eggy came from the left ovary which I already knew because I had really bad O pain on the left this time. Bubby is apparently firmly implanted at the back of my uterus which means the placenta will be posterior apparently. That means I should be able to feel good movement in a couple of months right?
Which puts me at a due date of 11th June 2012.
I know we aren't out of the woods yet but last time bubs stopped growing at 6w4d and given that the doc said it was most likely the heart that didn't develop properly which would mean that we've smashed that milestone out of the water and now just have to tackle the next month before we're in the "fairly confident safe zone!". The last 4 weeks have been really tough so I'm thinking I'll schedule a 10 week scan just to avoid unnecessary anxiety. It means I'll only have to wait 2 weeks at a time before I have confirmation of everything going well. Seeing the doc next monday so I'll get the referral then.
I hope this joy lasts and the morning sickness doesn't
Firstly a massive congrats to everyone on their BFPs and I'm really sorry to hear that there are so many angel mummies who have grieved the loss of their bubs
After approx 12 months of TTC I fell pregnant for the first time in August last year however sadly I had a miscarriage last year (first preg) and found out my little princess had trisomy 16. We got our second ever BFP earlier this month and I had my first scan on Friday which set me back a few days which I am not surprised about as I have crazy, unpredictable cycles and PCO! Bud was measuring 5w6d at our scan and the sonographer said that we were lucky to see the HB as it had just started beating - 100BPM. I was an emotional wreck because with my angel baby the sonographer kept saying to me over and over 'you are so early' (which I knew I wasnt) and the HB was slow - so I felt that history was repeating itself on me when I had to have an internal etc. But the sonographer assured me that all looked good for the stage of my preg.
I have my first OB appt next week and will be requesting another scan for approx 8 weeks to make sure the HB has gotten stronger and bubs is growing up big!
I cant believe how differently I feel emotionally this preg - so nervous and I actually feel somewhat guilty that I dont feel as 'excited' as I did last preg... does anyone else feel like this?
HPL - *hugs* I'm so sorry this is happening hun *hugs*
afm - bHCG from thursday last week at 3wks 5d was 16, not surprising as DD's results at 4wks 1d were only 29 (5wks 1d going by LMP), had repeat bloods today and I get the results on wednesday, FXed everything will be perfect.
I hope I can join you in here soon.
