Afm - Had midwife app yesterday, took bloods but will not be able to have any early scan as i have had no bleeding. Will hopefully have first scan in 3 to 4 weeks when past 12 weeks.
and big for my fishy friends, megsmum & babymiracles!
issy--Thrilled to see your ticker moving right along! Lots of bellyrubs for you!
AJC--Saw Sam's video on FB! Soooooo cute! Isn't it funny how they make those sucking sounds and motions when they aren't even nursing?
WTH--Ok, picture me with a punkin' chucker....chucking more of those your way! Best of luck with your BT's today--praying for some nice, high numbers! Going away for 2 weeks? Does that mean we'll have to miss hearing from you for that long? That's a bogus thought, but hope you enjoy your time away--I'm sure it will help keep your mind distracted! *hugs*
chappas--Hope your appt. went well... while it may be frustrating to not have had a scan, at least it's a positive sign that there's no complications! Big *hugs*
Mannie--Grrr.... thyroid results normal. Not sure what to do now.... with all the trembles I've been having, something has to be wrong! Not sure what to do now.... Hope your training is going well! Look forward to hearing from you and catching up! *hugs*
Indy--You are a naughty, naughty lurker! lol... Glad to hear your enjoying some traveling with DH! Be safe and well!
fifi--Apparently I SUCK at cooking! I've followed that recipe step by step... either your directions are off, or I I'm a lost cause when it comes to following directions!
YAY for the new thread. Hoping this one brings lots more of the BFP!
Fificlaire- I hope your eyes start to feel better soon.
Mel- Hope your recovery is going well. Has the pain subsided at all?
Jen- Well its good that your BT came back normal, but how disappointing as you still have no answers. Hopefully on this new thread you and I will be posting our BFP's!
Megsmum- Hope your day isn't too busy!
Babymiracles- Good luck on your scan next week. And hold on to the less anxious feeling.
WTH- I hope your feeling better.
Chappas- I hope the m/s subsides soon so you can start to enjoy your pregnancy.
Spreading lots of and for the new thread!
AFM- nothing really new at the moment. AF is leaving and I'm very ready to start TTC! Wish me luck girls!
Shortcake! AF leaving for me, too! Seems as though we're cycle twins! It's dust chucking time: Ready, aim, catch!!!!
Tam--you dirty little lurker! Where are you, girl? Don't be such a stranger--I sure do miss your sassiness! How goes the I need an update since we always miss you on Fri!!
My name is Angela and I am a registered nurse and pharmaceutical sales representative from Ohio. Sadly, my husband and I loss our baby daughter (Ashley) last Thursday. I was 20 weeks pregnant. And, I have been desperately been looking for a new site to join where everyone can understand my experiences. This is my third pregnancy, with our first pregnancy ended in a miscarriage (natural), the second pregnancy ended in an ectopic pregnancy (natural), and our third pregnancy (IVF pregnancy) with twins started to go wrong with the Vanishing Twin Syndrome at 6 weeks and a stillbirth at 20 weeks.
I just can't believe this has happened to us once again. And you won't believe this, we lost our last baby on the same day 3 years ago and our first pregnancy in late February! My husband and I are trying to pick up the pieces from our broken dreams once again. I can't believe I had to deliver her and say good-bye. I am so happy that I was able to hold her and take pictures of her to always remember her.
I really wanted to join this group so I can get some advice on how I can pick up the pieces and go on with my life. My husband and I have talked about going through another IVF cycle in a few months. I am not scared of going through the horrible injections and treatments but I am truly scared of loosing another baby. I have noticed that some of you ladies are currently pregnant after your losses; how did you get the courage to go through it once again? I have had to pick the pieces up before after a loss but this one really took us by surprise. We thought once we reached our 12th week mark that we finally made it.
Any help from you brave ladies would be like heaven right now.
Angela
1 miscarriage in 2002
1 ectopic pregnancy in 2006
1 stillbirth 2/2009 (Ashley Nicole Thomas)
Ashley's Mom-- I'm devastated for you over the loss of little Ashley! It's so hard picking up the pieces, and some days are certainly better than others. You've come to the right place for encouragement and support--the girls here are the absolute best at understanding and giving advice! When to TTC again is such a personal decision... I chose not to wait... of course, here I am... still waiting almost 1 year later! However, others have fallen pg right away and gone on to have healthy, successful pgcy's. Each journey is different... the paths we take unknown. We just have to support each other and cheer each other on no matter where the journey takes us! In a world full of people that can never understand, you've found a small little haven where everyone understands, so, please, feel free to unleash.... cry, yell, scream, vent, ask questions (none are dumb!).... Thanks for sharing your story with us, I look forward to getting to know you on your TTC journey!
Mel--Ooh, I feel special, I got a morning post! Thanks for getting back so quickly! again, but I've also have some clotting since my m/c--not every cycle--but a couple cycle's were really bad, with huge clots--which is definitely unusual for me! It's the tissue, however, that's really tripping me out, as I've only seen that during m/c. Hopefully my dr. can give me some answers, as I'm pretty sure that my insurance won't cover a infertility spec. Will let you know how that goes, but it's still a couple weeks away. Thanks again for the info!
Polly--Sending you some to get you thru til Friday! Quiet Congrats until then!
NaeNae--I didn't think there was life outside of BB!
Sorry I am not here anymore ladies. Unfortunately, I have cancer and cannot have anymore children. As soon as I am done with treatments and wallowing in my own self-pity, I will be back to support the rest of you. Love you all!
Ruthie - I just want to give you a big I am so sorry that you have had such devastating news. Is there anything that can be done for treatments that will help you? I am for you and please remember that you are in my prayers and thoughts. Hold close to the ones that you love around you. xoxox
Oh Ruthie!
I wish there was more that I could do, but all I can say is that you're in my thoughts, sweetheart. Sometimes there just isn't any sense in why things happen! I hope that you have your friends and family around you. Remember we're all 'here' for you in spirit too.
Take care,
M
This is *Julia* posting. I just changed my user name as I know a lady from playgroup who is a bb member and she doesn't know about my m/c or that we are ttc. I just want to remain sort of annonymous....sorry for the confusion.
Polly - Try not to worry too much about not having symptons.... maybe you are having them but you just can't tell yet? - IYKWIM. I totally understand about feeling so nervous, particularly around the time of the m/c. I can't offer any words of advice, but big hugs and am thinking of you. Sounds like you are being looked after by a great OBS.
Boble - I guess it is sort of comforting to know there is nothing wrong, but at the same time if you knew, maybe there would be more control or give you answers??? Not sure if that is truly how you are feeling but I think of that from time to time. Great that they will let you come in for an early scan - it all helps with getting through such a trying time. So many emotions - happy that you're pg, scared of the worst....
Jen - Glad all went well with ds surgery!
mrzbaby - Hugs hun. So sorry to hear you went back to hospital. We will probably do the same as you and dh, that way I don't have to try to calculate when my body is o'ing...
Babymiracles - Fantastic news with the scan! What a great feeling seeing that hb. I hope the spotting buggers off too.
Mel - Totally understand how you are feeling, am being surrounded by pg friends and family atm or maybe it feels like that cos we are ttc? What you are feeling is no different than most of us. Yeah, we're happy for them but hey - what about us?! Sounds like you have heaps of positive signs this month, gl...
Ruthie - I am truly sorry. Your post floored me and I am crying now. Trying to type through the river of tears flowing... I don't know what to say.
