Hope,
Is there any prospect of seeing an obs? Some of my most darling friends are gps but their knowledge and understanding of miscarriage and subsequent pregnancy can be quite limited. (gross generalisation of course not all...)
If you could find an obs that you can say well look here's the deal.... with then it probably would be beneficial. You need a specialist who will work with you. You need to feel in control of your care to an extent.
I really don;t think you have to worry about LPD - do you know what day you ovulate? I would definitely do the opk's and this will tell you when you ovulate and you will be all prepared when it comes time to conceive again.
I understand so well the fear of being pregnant but yet again wanting it so much. Each month I didn't conceive there was a small part of me that relaxed knowing I didn't have the pregnancy to deal with for another few weeks. It sounds bizarre to someone who hasn't been there but I really do know that feeling... :hugs:
I hope you are not too far behind me also! I need some belly buddies and I am not leaving until I take you all with me!
Thanks for your reply Michelle - 12 hour nights I remember them well! It is exhausting. Yes, the afternoon is when I feel most of my nausea waves! I really am over stressing to an extent. I am just believing and picturing that baby in my arms!!!! I am feeling excited! Now, you get to work girl I want some buddies!!!!!
How are you Debbie? LilyLou? Butterfly? Willow? Saph? Chelle?
I am thinking of you all....
I'm really tired and drained at the moment. My grandmother has just been admitted to a hospice up in Newcastle, we saw her on Saturday and I barely recognised her. I don't think we will have that much time left and the fact that I live 2 hours away at the moment is getting to me.
I'm also really over the whole TTC thing. I just need AF to come so I can start my clomid, but it seems there's absolutely no progress in that department at all... in fact, I think I'm going backwards! I'm contemplating getting hold of some provera to induce AF so I can get started, but knowing my DH is going to be away for two weeks in September has me a little reluctant to force the issue there.
I won't talk too much, as I am very down, but I'm sure I just need some sleep and then I'll be ok.
Thanks again Flowerchild,
I have an obs appt but it isn't until November. I thought if my GP could run the routine bloods I could at least go to the obs with a bit of a head start-- and maybe even something for him to monitor (!) if the autoimmune, etc comes back negative. After my first m/c we did all the right things and waited about 5 months before TTC. This time around I'm not feeling as patient. I'm 29 years old and DH and I thought we were doing everything right buying a house, doing the overseas trips we wouldn't be able to (afford to) do with kidlets, becoming financially secure, etc and now all I can think is I spent all that time trying not to get pg only to find when I eventually did...oh to be psychic!! Now it seems every woman I've ever met is duffed and I find myself thinking about my bubs that never were-- I actually had my last D&C on the day that my first one was due!!
Anyway thanks a bunch for your responses. I've found the forums generally so helpful and it's really comforting to hear others thinking and feeling as I do. Nice to know you're not alone!
BW, you and I make a good pair at the moment - feeling that downward spiral sucking me in again. Have a few things going on at the moment that are putting all this ttc stuff to the fore. One of my best friends finally got her bfp after 18 months ttc and x2 ivf cycles but has had cramping and bleeding all week so I've been really stressed and worried for her. Got another bhcg result back today and all is looking perfect so that's a huge relief. My other best friend is due to announce her prg any day now (don't know if you all remember this story, this is the one who 'accidently' had two embies transferred back and is probably expecting her second set of twins) and I am very anxious about it. I don't know that I am going to be able to perform the 'proper' response ie all excited and happy and over the moon about it. Of course I am happy for her but there's a lot of other stuff mixed in there too. It's a complicated issue for me, it's become a complicated friendship actually. I have a big dinner in the city on Friday night with all my girls and am kind of dreading the 'big announcements'. I just don't want to make people uncomfortable, there is already talk of 'poor willow, this must be so hard for her'. I know they all love me and are genuinely looking out for me but I don't want anybody's pity, that just makes it harder. But again I will hold my chin up and get thru it as best I can
I am also really anxious about my appt with my gyno tomorrow. I just hope he listens to what I have to say and is willing to do something proactive to help move things along for us. I am so sick of living in this limbo land.
ANYHOO, enough whining from me. Oh wait, one more thing - getting over a virus (Michelle, how are you going? Feeling better??) which has now caused a middle ear infection and after a week of fighting it off, have ended up on antibiotics anyway. My ears are killing me and I can't hear properly. OK, done now!
Deb, as usual you are a petal, thanks for asking about all of us. LOVE the ticker, too exciting!!! Glad you are feeling well but with a decent dose of nausea thrown in - that's what we like to hear! Cannot wait to hear all about your u/sound - not long to go now!
BW, so sorry about your grandmother and that AF still hasn't appeared - the provera sounds like a good idea to me! I hope things get moving for you soon too, big to you babe.
Big hello to everyone else, hope you are all well and busy out there working on those 's - Deb needs some belly buddies!
Will pop back in tomorrow and let you know how my appt went.
Hi to everyone here
I haven't been on for ages, there are certainly a few of us now. I'm trying to not get caught up in it all too much (TTC) this time, it does become quite stressful
Thanks Deb for thinking of me too and once again CONGRATULATIONS.
Just want to wish everyone the best for a BFP, hoping we are all with Deb soon :
Just an update on me, I've decided that if this is not my month, I will also look into clomid. After D&C, my LP was only 7 days, although i may not have ovulated at all, it was a short cycle anyway which I suppose can be expected so soon. This cycle, i ovulated very early, around day 13. I'm now 5dpo and crossing everything. My temps aren't t great, wasn't a huge rise after o but did have a good rise this morning so not giving up yet. I've had pelvic pain today Feels like I need to use my bowels but haven't been able to which is kind of a good sign for me as this is something I dont normally suffer from. (I suffered this early in last pregnancy). Could also mean my prostergene (sp) levels are high, i think this can cause constipation (am I right?)
Debbie, how are your? haven't heard from you lately, hope all is well.
Good luck again to everyone
's - Deb needs some belly buddies!
