Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss #3 May '08

[jenushka]

I hope you are all well. Just popped in to say hi...

megsmum - great news from your clinic! Have fun and good luck with catching the eggie!!

angel babies - we haven't actually *met*, but like the other ladies I have drawn strength from your words and poems - thank you for sharing your story with others to help them get stronger... big and all the best for the road ahead

Jodsan - I hope you are able to find some answers as far as possible autoimmune condition soon...

where there's hope - sorry to hear about the bfn Hopefully its just a bit too early... Have a very happy birthday tomorrow - are you doing anything nice?

Issy - glad to hear you have some good signs that o is approaching - I guess you'll be pretty busy this weekend!

sara-jane - hope you managed to get your uni work done (I was a very good procrastinator at uni!) and good luck with finding a house...

Vanaithi - sorry to hear about the arrival of AF - hope its not too tough on you. My cycle went back to my normal 30 days straight after the d&c. The first cycle was a bit odd with a bit of mid-cycle bleeding and spotting almost the whole time, but not surprising - guess everything just had to adjust.

plc - SO glad to hear how well your scan went - I bet your still sitting their smiling about it all!

jen - hello!! hope the 2ww is treating you kindly. How long till testing?

afm - just watching a show on foxtel about a couple that had quintuplets (eek!) after a round of clomid... from one extreme to another!

I'll also be updating my age on my sig on saturday - there's a lot of May bdays in this thread isn't there?! Really looking forward to it - dh is taking me and ds out to breakfast where we got married (a restaurant on brisbane river), then having all of our good friends over for drinks and yummy food in the afternoon... aaahh

to the preggy ladies and to all the ttc'ers!!

Hi Everyone

Sorry but this is going to be a 'me' post. I went to have a shower tonight and had a few brown stains on my knickers. I checked my CP and C doesn't feel as hard and the mucous was a little stained with brown. I'm trying to think positive but it isn't looking good. Had BT today so will speak to ob tomorrow. everything is going to be ok but I have a bad feeling about things atm.

AJC... Yeah I know... I m meant to be going.... I just cant not answer you. I ve got this picture of you sitting there tonight going out of your mind. Sometimes our minds can be very nasty. We can put ourselves into a very stressful position based on what our mind keeps telling us. You can end up making yourself ill with all the thoughts you run through your head. Do the absolute best you can girl to chill a bit... Nice warm shower.... lay down on the bed and listen to some relaxing music..... meditate if its something you know how to do..... relax girlfriend.... get through tonight and ring your doctor for the results and talk to him/her tomorrow...... but for tonight..... do your best to chill.... remember this journey is ONE DAY AT A TIME.... we get through today.... then we get through tomorrow.............

Take Care

AJC--Oh, hun, you're in my prayers! Try not to stress--I'm sorry I know that's a really stupid thing to say, much easier said than done! You and your sticky bean are at the top of my list of prayers!


tina--Was the accupuncturist a man, or what? What was he thinking telling you to wait 3 months to TTC? Silly man... Good luck, I've heard lots of positives about accupuncture from the others who've been to one, praying it works for you!


lauri--Yay, you found us! Welcome to the thread--I know you're going to love my girls here, they're all so great! About the timeline, if you go to the top of the screen on the left it says User profile. Click on that and you can make/edit a signature. Also up at the top you can find the tickers if you want to make a ticker. Make sure you read the signature rules--you can only have a certain amount of text on your sig, and it's different if you have a ticker. I didn't know this at first, so it's a good thing to know! Happy to hear we'll be cycle buddies!


jenushka-- for Saturday! Praying for a belated BFP for you!


bettyboop--OMG, a week in the hospital! I hope things are ok with you, and all is well. How's it going on the TTC front?


megsmum & issy-- Happy O'ing! :woot: bring it on!


Angel Babies--Oh, girl, you have me in Thanks again for the beautiful poems! You'll be missed terribly!


Jodsan--CD1 sounds like a nice, fresh start! Back on the rollercoaster... Good luck, hun!


Where there's hope-- Sorry to hear about your BFN, but at only CD9, was probably just too early! Wishing you, too, a belated BFP b-day gift!

[jen805]

[issy02]

AJC - I know its easier to say than do, but do try and relax hun. Think positive thoughts and know that we are all here for you and thinking of you.

Sorry for no other personals right now, my eyes feel like they have sand in them from being so tired, its pretty late here...for all you US and UK gals!

to all

Issy

AJC praying that everything will turn out ok for you - remember a lot of pg have a little bleeding and go on to have healthy babies, my 2nd one did. everything turns out all right.

Where's There Hope

Betty - glad your feeling better and out of hospital - it's always one thing after the other isn't it?

I had better get back into it, i've still got stuff everywhere and the kids are back in this morning, I didn't realise how much stuff we had, i've got shopping bags eveywhere with linen and other stuff in, every morning i've been putting them in my bedroom out of the way and back out in the loungeroom of a night time, today i have to make sure that i put everything away before the kids come in. The new room looks great, it's about 5 metres long and about 6 wide. Looks huge (or will until we fill it with furniture.)

for each and every one of you.

[plc1805]

to WTH - wishing you a great day!!

AJC - honey - i am doing some serious for you. people do have spotting in early pg and from what i understand as long as it is not a bright colour it should be ok. hope the bt's come out ok sweet!!!

tina - that's so great u found the acupuncture appt ok. he did tell me to wait to but the advantage i had was that i had to wait after my lap anyway and that was around the time i was started seeing him. so i had a good 2 mths where i had to wait before i got the go ahead from my ob. a lot of the spleen and kidney work was fixed before i could try again which i think are the main concerns for TTC. now we are just slowly working on the liver without any herbs and i see him on a weekly basis for this - the liver is still important for this time too and he would have liked it to be ok too before i started to TTC but i told him i had already achieved so much and now that i could go for it, we were not going to hold back. Do what's right for you of course - obviously he just wants things to work perfectly for you but he can still help you if ur TTC just has to do it differently.

thx everyone for your wonderful wishes and congrats - I'm just so glad i got this far ok and the rest is up to the big guy upstairs. The previous m/c's ended around now even tho they were not picked up til later in the scans so just treating my chances of m/c like everyone else's and i feel like i can focus on how it was when i was pg with DS.

hello to everyone else - i will try later for more personals - sorry for being slack!! it's not like i don't think of you all - i think personals are a good way of just wanting you to individually know it.

[AJC]

Girls you all have me in tears (started with angelbabies) - thank you so much for the support. No more spotting so far but still slight brown tinged CM. I know things still 'might' be ok but I think I know deep down in my heart that this little one is flying off to be with his/her brothers/sisters. Will update you all this evening, probably won't check at work because I'll end up in tears and I need to be strong.

Sorry for no personals.

[Jodsan]

Hi girls, just a quick one before I run out the door.

AJC - Is this the time when your next AF would've been due? Apparently its fairly common to get breakthrough spotting at this time. As PLC said, it is normally brown in color which is old blood that your body needs to clear. I will be thinking of you today, try to stay relaxed and think positive (I know, easier said than done). it's all ok.

Bettyboop - So sorry to hear you have been unwell, one thing after another hey. But you did just have an operation which is always trying on your immune system. Try to do as much as you can to build up your immune system, drink green tea, have loads and loads of garlic (I put one chopped clove in boiling water with a quarter slice of lemon, let it sit for 10 mins then drink it), take echinacea and loads of fruit and loads of water to flush everything through. Hope you feel better soon.

Where There's Hope -

Big hello to everyone else, I'll pop back in tonight.
