I just wanted to give my love to everyone and let you know I'm still lurking. I may not be on so much but pls know that I am sending you all the positivity in the world
I joined belly belly a while ago now but just haven't been able to really talk about what I was going thru until now. I am the 35 year old mum a gorgeous 6 year old boy and his wish to santa was to have a baby brother or sister. I fell pregnant Sept '08 and November '08 at my 12 week check up found out quite heartlessly that my baby had died at 8 weeks. It was the most gut wrenching feeling, what made it worse was that the sonographer who informed me, was so matter of fact and I had to continue to lay on the table while she finished the exam. You have to wonder where some people get there social skills.
So now I am trying again after a D&C and crossing fingers and toes that what most people say is true, that after a d&C you tend to fall pregnant quickly. I love reading the threads on here they give so much hope and also in some way comfort knowing I am not the only one. So thank you to all the girls who post on here and here's hoping that all of us TTC are blessed with the most precious gifts.
Maternalbride - Im so sorry af reared her ugly head I had problems with my hormones at various times in my cycle and my periods were far too long. I struggled with it for a long time and am convinced it caused my 3 chemical pg'cys. Last month I tried taking macca powder to sort out my cycles and see if it helped my hormones and not only did it sort out my hormones but I fell pg....and so far so good You can get it at any health food store, it comes in powder and capsules, but I took the powder, which although tastes disgusting, works quicker because your digestive system does not need to break down the capsule, it goes through the blood stream much faster. Of course I cannot be sure that the macca powder was the reason I fell pg, but I was advised to take it about 9 months ago by another lady on here who started taking it and fell pg straight away (and gave birth to a little girl a few weeks ago), after suffering from the same problems as me. I should have taken it a long time ago, but had kind of forgotten about it. Worth a try anyway! GL!
Smi - YAY for the morning sickness... I thought I was going to escape it up until a couple of days ago when I started feeling nauseas, and then this morning it was a race down the hallway to the closest sink, bucket or toilet...this morning it happen to be the kitchen sink! YUCK. Although I felt soooo much better once I had actually thrown up. Anyway I hope it keeps going...its a good sign.......and you did ask for after all
Jen - Hi hun....Have you by any chance tried the macca powder..might be worth a go?
Sorry for lack or persies at the moment ladies but im off for more family christmas bbq's. The lead up to christmas is far more hectic than the actual day!
Merry christmas everyone...and of course a happy new year! May all of your dreams come true.
Thank you for the Hugs MaternalBride... I am sorry AF has arrived I am crossing my fingers she doesn't visit me but I think she will. I will cross my fingers for you MB.. take care *hugs*
Hi Calebs mum and Welcome - Though I know it feels awful to have to be in this place!
I was just thinking how weird it is that everyone doesnt want their AF to show up (and I totally understand the reason why!) when I can't wait for ot to come so I can TTC again! Its been nearly 9 weeks since the D&C and still no AF. I rung the gyn yesterday and had a progesterone test which was only 2.5! so I have to pick up a prescription for the pill tomorrow. He said to take a pill twice a day for ten days then stop it, then AF should arrive and then start clomid on day 3! I cannot believe I am being put back on the pill to regulate my cycle! I wish my body would just "do" the right thing!
Anyways, I have to say that at least now Ill be doing something, not just waiting and waiting!
I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas and is able to get through the festive season without too much sadness even though I know how difficult it's gonna be for all of us!
Zachary's mum - The only way that I can think of to make sure you don't "miss your chance when ovulating" is to do it all the time!!! hehehe
Hi Erybery,
Thank you for the welcome ... I think for those of us who have had kids we think it will never happen to us and for those who have been trying without success they wonder why. But it is so nice to have a community like this where we can support be sounding boards for each other. I know I thought no one else could or would understand but the girls on here do.
Good luck with the "pill" I will be looking forward to the day you can post BFP again
*hugs* and merry christmas to you

Firstly - Welcome Caleb's Mum. Sorry for your loss. Everyone here is great and have been so helpful and supportive for me. It has made my journey a lot easier to deal with.
erybery - Hope everything works out and goes well for you. For once I will hope AF arrives for you! It is a good thing we have a few days off work over Christmas and in the New Year! DP and I will be really busy (WWNN). We have Christmas Day and then a week in January so for us.
MaternalBride - so sorry AF turned up.
Jen805 - At this stage there is no treatment, I just have to put up with the severe headaches (they have given me a prescription for Panadeine Forte but I haven't got them yet as I don't want to take any chances for TTC). As long as the levels don't go over 50, I can carry on as I am. I am happy to have the headaches as long as I don't have to have steroids!
Mel1979 - to you too.
I know I haven't been much in the Christmas spirit but I do want to wish you all a wonderful Christmas and all tyhe best for dreams coming true on 2009.
