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

[jen805]

Hi Toccara-- So sorry to hear of the loss of your baby Please know we're here for you if there's anything you need, or any questions you have, or even if you just need to vent. The women in this thread are the best, and are so caring and supportive, I'm sure you'll feel at home here! Sorry again for your loss.


AJC-- that was a crazy dream! What did you learn from your google search on green tree frogs? Do you guys have Geico car insurance there? We have commercials that have a talking gecko that walks around on its hind legs! Glad to hear you're able to stop wearing the p/liners!


mollycat--See, we're true cycle buddies--we've both got jacked up cycles this month! Sounds like the house is coming along! One more week, how exciting!

jen - from what I have found so far, green tree frogs are a very positive thing. Found a few different meanings (life changes etc) but they all are positive so that makes me feel a little happier given my eventful week. I've been wanting to buy something for bub - just to be positive even though I know it's tempting fate. So I think I'll look for a nice green toy frog. I'm terrible - I already have a stack of baby gap stuff that I've bought over the last few years on my trips to US & Canada. We don't have baby gap here. I get to use it this time.

Oh, a green tree frog toy would be perfect! I have 2 green tree frogs with yellow and red highlights on my right hip. They're pretty cool looking--very tropical, and they were also done in UV ink, so with a black light will glow in the dark.

wow that green tree frog dream is amazing - i mean what a specific thing to dream about and how cool that the dream is meant in a positive light.

mollycat - can't wait to check out ur place when it's done - what a great change for you!!

toccara - honey welcome to our wonderful thread - hope you find what you need here. So sorry for ur very recent loss sweet. What does the doc say now for you?

smilanatu - hope things are going better at home with ur darling.

thanks krystielove - we went to docs this morning and he has a virus that he just has to ride out. i asked the doc about me and she said that there is always risk but the baby relies on the immunity of the mother. so just gotta keep well.

Jen - Lol! I'm going as the other type of "Indian". The type from India. It's funny though, because I was thinking about going as Pocahontas though!!

Mollycat - Are you building the extension because you want more room, or are you doing it because you are selling and moving? Either way it sounds exciting, even though the actual process of getting it done sounds like a bit of a pain in the backside

Toccara - Sweetie I am so sorry for your loss. It's such a hard thing to go through and each person's experience and emotions are different. I hope you can take some comfort from other people's journeys. Remember that there is no right or wrong way to grieve during this time, so if you feel like crying, then cry, if you feel like screaming, then scream, or if you just feel like curling up in bed then that's ok too. My thoughts are with you.

AJC - Yay for happy green tree frogs!!

plc - You'll have to tuck into the fruit juices and vegie soups and keep healthy! I hope you DS kicks the naughty little virus soon. It's so sad seeing kids that are sick.


Well, I never thought I would be happy about this, but YAY I got a BFN!!! I did a hpt this morning and there is either no line there, or a line that is so faint that I could be imagining it. It either case I figure that my hcg level is below or almost below the 10 mark, so I should be able to ovulate soon!!! DH and I have been "practising" just in case, so now I can tell him it's "for real"

Thanks for all the love and support ladies no one in my family has ever had an m/c so I have been feeling so alone and thinking maybe I was over reacting... today was the first day snice Monday I didn't cry and feel sad all day... you ladies are really great... I'm ttc again when I feel my body is really...

[~ Mylitta ~]

Toccara - Don't stress too much about thinking you are over-reacting. I felt the same and have been reassured that there is absolutely nothing wrong with how we feel after a loss, no matter how little time we had with our precious bubbas. I found out my little bundle had passed away at my 8w1d scan, and I still think those short weeks I had with her were very precious. And don't be afraid to cry. It's been 4 weeks today since I had my d&c and sometimes I still cry. I think it's natural for us to form an instant bond with the precious lives we create

[jen805]

KrystieLove-- I guess that would explain why you would have a red dot on your forehead, huh? Sorry, I have a habit of typing before I think things through! This is strange to say, but congrats on the BFN! lol... I know what you mean, though, I kept waiting and waiting for my hcg to go back down so we could begin TTC again.


Toccara--There's no such thing as overreacting when it comes to a m/c! You really have to allow yourself that time to cry, vent, scream, be angry, ask questions--it's all part of the healing process. I had nobody to talk to before I came here and met the great girls here at BB, and I truly don't know how I would've made it through without them! You'll never find another person in here that doesn't know exactly what you're thinking, feeling, and going through! So please don't be scared to ask any questions you may have--there's no such thing as TMI, and no stupid questions here! Hope you find the comfort that you need here with us! BTW, I see you're a US gal like me (there's not many of us here), most of the others are from Australia or UK so there's a bit of a time difference between us all that can be confusing if you don't realize it's there. Good luck again on your TTC journey, I'm it's a short one for you!


Hey Canary! How's it going my preggie friend? I'm no superwoman, lol, I just use the pen and paper that sits by the computer--nothing super about that! So it's been about a week since your BFP, has it sunk in yet?


Hi mmteacher--Haven't heard from you in a while, hope things are well with you, and you're just busy with the end of the school year! Thinking of you all the time, and sending you bucket loads of

KrystieLove - the extension is for more room. We bought this house about 10 years ago and swore we would never move (we've moved a lot with renting houses). It at the moment has two bedrooms, which my boys have shared one of since we moved in. A 16yo and an 11yo are really not meant to live together for that long, I also do day care at home so any little one that sleeps also uses my boys room, which can be pretty squashy but I can get 4 little beds on the floor and I have a permanent cot also in the boys room all the time, so with the extension we can turn the current kitchen into a bedroom and then spread our boys and the little kids out. I'm almost over it. I'm so sick and tired of looking at all my stuff sitting around the house, my front verandah is covered with furniture, I spent hours yesterday at my parents house doing all my washing and cooked a roast whilst I was there as we also have no stove at the moment. I know it's worth it in the end, but OMG it's painful. ONE MORE WEEK and it's finished YAY

Toccara - Welcome to this thread, so sorry about your loss but am happy that you found us, it really helps to "talk" to somebody about your loss and I found that most of the family just don't seem to understand or want to acknowledge that your baby is still an important member of your family. This is a great place to vent, cry, yell, whatever. We're all here to help each other.
