Thank you Jen and everyone else for your beautiful words and Christmas wishes :hug:.
Ruthie - hun, I can only say that you are not a fool - you would only be a fool to give up hope. Please take it at your own pace hun (stupid thing to say I know when you want it to all have happened yesterday) but never ever ever give up hope. I know PCOS is quite a ballgame that has no rules but if you give up hope, you lose your chance of bringing that colour back in your life that you mentioned. What will be in the far off distant future just leave it til then and don;t think too much about it. It's the today and the near future that has to be your focus as well as the positive gifts you do have in your life. I'm so sorry that financially it is very hard at the moment, I understand. But focus on the beautiful boys in your life and, while you don't have a sibling just yet for your little boy, you have given him a wonderful mummy and daddy whom he is so lucky to have in this day and age. I wish you all the strength and courage to get thru this tough time - beautiful girl, you will get there.....:hug:
Thankyou all for your lovely wishes - you have all been a part at various stages of my journey and I thankyou for all the support, love and warmth I have been priviledged to receive as a member of this thread. I can't tell you how much you all mean to me.

Sorry I haven't responded in a couple of days, been busy, as I'm sure you all have! A happy Yuletide to all I hope! :)
I *think* we caught the eggie, by BDing prior to ovulation...and I'm already thinking myself into symptoms -_- About 10 days till Af is due..oh dear...I just have a good feeling about this cycle.
Sorry for the lack of personals, must dash to give DH attentions! But I am thinking of you all, congratulations to some of you, I'm delighted for you! Thinking of those of you who've had disappointments. Never give up..

Plc: :crying::hug: thank you. I live more with doubts than with hope but even if I have felt like dropping the towel... something keeps telling me that it can happen. :redface:
God bless you doll... thank you for having such a big heart.... I missed being here.. but as I said 2 months ago.. I would be on when I have something new to say... so far same old.
Love my girls here...
:grouphug:
I hope all of you had a great Christmas eve.... May God bring many blessings to you all this coming year!!
For those whom I haven't had the chance to meet.. WELCOME.. and sorry you had to join this thread.. yet I have found the most amazing of friends.. after going through my 3rd miscarriage back on Sept 11th. You all have a friend in me.. even though I have been absent for a while...
Wishing you all good luck to all TTC and those who have their miracles on their way.. it''s really great to see you guys so close to the finish line... it hurts to lose a baby but when you finally have a miracle... it's the most amazing of things. My deepest and most honest best wishes to all new mommies to be. ♥
Love,
Ruthie

Morning lovely ladies,
Sorry I didn't post a Merry Christmas message yesterday. We had Christmas lunch at our house so it was a little chaotic. Needless to say I am exhausted!
I hope you all had a wonderful day and enjoyed some special moments with friends and family in amongst the angst we are all going through.
Big Congratulations to Possums - :happyforyou: To know you fell pregnant when you had so many things against you really does restore my hope and inspires me.
Ruthie - :hug:
Had some bad cramping yesterday and was really sore and tender around my ovaries so I am hoping it meant I was ovulating. :pray: we caught the egg this time!
Better go as I have a family BBQ to get to, will try and do some persies in the next couple of days.
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: to all our wonderful pregnant friends.
:bluedust::pink-babydust: to all of us TTC.

Adele - Glad you popped in. I hope that all your dreams come true in 2009.
megsmum - :pray: that the next few weeks go smoothly and bub continues growing strong and healthy.
possums - Congratulations! What a fantastic Christmas pressie. :stickyvibesboy:
babymiracles - :crossfingers: for you hun!
jenushka - Glad all is well with you and bean.
HannahS - Hope you got the Christmas gift you wished for.
Krystie - Glad you and chyan are doing well.
TY - Yay for good test results. At least you know there aren't any probs. You're lucky to have such as supportive doctor.
smi - Hope the m/s didn't spoil Christmas dinner. Although you did say that you've been really hungry too so it probably didn't spoil anything. Take care hun. :stickyvibesgirl:
Ruthie - I just want to swim the Pacific to come and give you a great big :hug: Please, please don't give up hope. You are not a fool. I know things are financially tough at the moment and Christmas can be difficult time, but enjoy the time you have with your 2 special boys. I :pray: that all your dreams can come true in 2009.
plc - Will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Lisa - Hope you caught that egg and will have a nice surprise for the new year.
Mel - :crossfingers: you caught that egg!
tutmae, WTH, jen - :hello:
Hi to all those I've missed. I hope everyone had a merry Christmas and got to share some good times with family and friends. Thankyou to everyone for your support through the last 5 months. I don't know how I could've coped without each and every one of you. I hope that 2009 brings us all what we wish for.
-
Just a quick one from me....
Hi - I'm back online again :dance:
Just wanted to pop in and wish you all a lovely Christmas and very safe, happy & healthy 2009! (with lots of BFP's)!!!!!
So glad to be out of hospital and Sam is doing really well, we had him weighed again today and he's doing nicely.
Just also wanted to thank everyone again for all of the support during my ttc journey, you guys made things feel so much better. I'll still be around to support and encourage as much as I can.
My best wishes to you all.
-
AJC - Congratulations! So wonderful to hear everything's going so well. Can't wait to see pics of Sam! :)
Ruthie - I remember seeing you when I was very active on these boards a few months ago. I'm so sorry things aren't good for you right now. Look after yourself, snuggle your boys, and have faith that things will come good in time. It's hard to have that faith sometimes..but all in good time. You're in my thoughts :hug:
Mel - hope your family lunch was lovely! And hoping you caught the egg! Fingers crossed for the both of us, belly buddies maybe ;)
Babymiracles - got my fingers crossed for you! It's not over until it's over, and till then there's hope. I'll be thinking of you on Monday.
AFM - I am so bloated...there's every possibility it's down to the pure consumption of the last couple of days ;) But everything right now is a *possible* symptom..how I love the TWW :rolleyes: I'm feeling fairly positive at the moment, I've got next year's calendar up, and am feeling very invigorated to get ready and fresh for a brand new year, full of joy for us all!

I never realised just how hard Christmas would be!!!! It was supposed to be so different! I almost feel like I just can't do this. I want to go to sleep and never wake up - it is just too painful. I miss my little boy so much and I don't know how to cope with him not being here. I thought I was being so strong and doing so well - but I am not.
Sorry for the ranting but I know you will understand and not judge me.
-
I don't have the words at the moment to make it better for you - just needed to give you a :hug:

TY - I had high prolactin levels diagnosed before my second pregnancy as we were having problems conceiving but mine were a lot higher than yours about 900. I have been on medication for hyperprolactinaemia which suppresses this hormone as I believe when it is too high it can prevent ovulation from occuring which may have been causing us all of our TTC problems and effecting my cycles. But after medication for about 3 cycles we got pg but then lost our angel at 11 weeks (missed m/c) but my doctor didn't believe this hormone had anything to do with the m/c. Prolactin naturally rises in pregnancy anyway, so once we were pregnant we stopped the medication and now I am back on it again and TTC first cycle since m/c. I hope this helps you :smile:
-
Theresa - I really wish I could reach out and give you this :hug: in person. Don't apologise for the rant, that's what we're here for. Cry, yell, scream, laugh, smile or let go and have that "ugly cry". It's all part of the process. All you can do is take it one day at a time, it will become easier, your special memories will be there forever. It's a very hard time of the year, and many people don't understand why my DH and I distance ourselves each year. We try to make it a happy occasion for our boys, but in the end, we still sit back and watch and remember our loved ones who are no longer with us.
This poem helped me last year, (we also lost a dear friend as well as our bub) it's almost a little late, but I hope it helps you.
My First Christmas in Heaven
I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights, like Heaven's stars, reflecting in the snow.
The sight is so spectacular! Please wipe away that tear,
for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring,
for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me. I see the pain inside your heart,
but I am not so far away, We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, loved ones. You know I hold you dear.
Be glad I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
I send you each a special gift from heavenly home above.
I send you each a memory of my undying love.
After all, "Love" is a gift more precious than gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told
Please love and keep each other, as my Father said to do,
for I can't count the blessings or love He has for you.
So, have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, I'm spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
