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

[mollycat]

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.

Hi all

I just wanted to pop in quickly to say goodbye and goodluck to all you lovely ladies as I am lucky enough to move onto the preg after mc or loss thread. I really do hope to see you all crossing over the that thread soon. I did'nt contribute much to these threads as I was generally at a loss for words most of the time, but it really really helped to read all your stories and posts so a BIG thank-you.
:goodluck2:

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL

Thanks ladies finding this forum has really made me feel so much better... My DH is great but talking to other ladies who have been through the same thing just makes me feel normal again and lets me know its not my fault... We decided that we wanna try again yesterday and have made some summer plans and even talk about moving out of state he is also going take me to play putt putt golf next week I have never been before so it should be fun... I'm not sure what we are doing for the holiday yet I was going to stay in because I didn't wanna be around family just yet but I think it will be good for me to get out and about again...

mollycat--I'm sure your DS's are thrilled to be getting their own rooms! While it does sound as though it's been a huge inconvenience, imagine how great it will be by this time next week! It will be worth all the trouble in the end! You showing any kinds of signs or anything yet, or do you know when you're going to test?


seenabeena--Congrats on your BFP, and on the move to the PAML thread! Praying for a healthy, happy pg. for you! Good luck!


Toccara-- Glad to hear you and DH have decided to begin TTC-- your journey is a quick one! Hope you get out to do something fun over the long weekend, you deserve to do something to keep your mind off things! Take care of yourself!

Evening ladies. Just wanted to pop in and say hi and spread some

Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

Toccara - I'm glad you are finding comfort in here. I can't tell you how many times I've logged on and these ladies have always been here for me. It's very comforting when it feels like no one else 'really' understands you.

Seena - seeya. I'm not quite ready to leave yet. I think I'll wait until I reach 12wks (if that is ok with everyone in here). So I guess I'll see ya in another 7 weeks. Geez, it's going to take forever. Take care and sending you lots of

Krystielove - yay for your BFN. You sound really positive and ready to start ttc again. Good luck!

Jen - your frogs sound cool. I love that Miami Ink show (it's on pay tv here) - they can do some amazing designs.

mollycat - hope this week goes really quick for you and you have your house back together (only bigger) in no time.

Well here's to a good week ahead everyone!!!

Hello ladies!

Just wanted to say thanks for your kind birthday wishes - I had the best birthday I've had in ages. Breakfast was divine - ds was getting pretty wriggly waiting for the food to arrive so dh took him for a walk. They were gone for about 10 mins and I just sat and reflected on everything really - I just felt really at peace with everything and that it def could be so much worse. I looked up and saw dh and ds walking back over the hill towards me when the food arrived and almost got a bit teary thinking how much they mean to me and how lucky I am to have them both - gah!! What a sook! Then had friends over for drinks in the afternoon which got pretty "celebratory" - got to bed at 1am! Have not done that since before pg with ds and despite paying for it today had the best time...

I am cd12 today - dh and I tentatively kicked off the week of bd this afternoon... he is about 1000 times more supportive this cycle and aside from suggesting we bd (he didn't do that at all last cycle) he even reminded me to take my pre-preg vitamin! I just stared at him... I am pretty sure I should o towards the end of the week so hopefully we can keep it "interesting" throughout...

bbl for persies when I am feeling less ferral

Take care, here's a and lashings of for all of you

AJC--Miami Ink is a show my whole family enjoys! Have you seen the new LA ink with Kat? Last summer we actually found her shop down in LA, they had all the windows blacked out and a sign up saying that they were filming but would be open that evening. We took pics outside the shop and got a pic of the sign--the shop itself isn't called LA Ink, its got something to do with a lightning bolt or something, I just can't remember! It was pretty cool, though!

Hope your 9 sleeps flies by for you--I can't wait to hear about your u/s, you must be getting so excited!


jenushka--So glad you had such a happy b-day! I love those moments when you realize all the positive things that are in your life, and you just feel at peace. Sounds like your DH is getting really involved with TTC (well, aside from his donations! lol...) Don't forget what I said about keeping it interesting! Wink, wink, nudge, nudge... It will work like a charm, I promise! Good luck with O and try to just have fun with each other! like there's no tomorrow!


Acria--I'm not sure I could hold out from testing if I had all the symptoms that you have! You're a strong girl! Good luck, I'm praying for your BFP!

Thanks AJC, I'm feeling pretty confident about the prog levels at least And our FS is great, we have a lot of faith in him. At least these last couple of months have helped us feel like something is being done to identify what our problem (actually the problems are all mine, not DH but that's another story) is.

I do know how hard it is not to stress, I will be exactly the same as you are when I am pg again and yep I'll be worried about a m/c if the symptoms are the same as last time too!! Makes perfect sense to me. I just wanted to try and reassure you about the boob thing though - for me having sore BBs won't be any reassurance that everything is OK KWIM? M/S on the other hand will be (and again I know this isn't the case for everyone) because I had it bad for about 8 weeks with DD and only very mildly with the last pg and it went away altogether by about 9 or 10 weeks (which was round about when our bub died )

Glad you are feeling a bit better

jen - b6 did wonders for me! I started taking 100mg (on top of the already 50mg in my pre-pregnancy vitamins) on about cd3. If you O on cd26 then you might just have a really long cycle. I have found that charting my cycle is the best way to work out where things are at. It's a pain in the butt but it sure makes timing bd easier. You never know - just because you have a longer cycle doesn't mean you can't fall pg. if you bd at the right time then you have every chance.

megsmum - I've never had m/s ever. I have felt a little yuk a few times this time round but not even close to throwing up or anything. Most of the times it just feels like I've eaten too much. It's sort of a cross between af and being really busting to P. Makes such a difference when you have faith in your doc doesn't it. DH and I are so confident with our ob - he's done sooooo many tests for me so hopefully we'll be third time lucky. He removed a polyp late last year and I've read lots of different stories about m/c or failure to implant because of this then most go on to have a healthy pg. Thanks so much for the support. That's half the reason I don't think I'm ready to go on to PAML yet, i really want to be here to support and encourage you guys because you guys have got me through some of my worst days.

Hi ladies,

Sorry I havent posted for a while, been so busy with work its been nuts!

Anyway, so much chatting has been going on that I cant remember everything and I dont think I could possibly catch up, so...i might leave the personals for now until I get back into the flow of conversation here, sorry

Im pretty sure I am ovulating or have ovulated in the last 2 days. I have been so bloated and have had some pain coming from my left ovary, which is a good sign for me. Also had a lot of watery CM, and a small bit of EWCM yesterday. DH and I have been bd'ing a lot, just for fun actually (I forgot I was ov, work has definately distracted me, I dont even know what cd im on at the moment, will see it when i post this i suppose )

Hope we caught the eggie but not really feeling like this will be our month. Still feel a little bit like 'its just never going to happen', but i wont give up...as my friend said to me the other day,

'dont turn your back on faith and hope, you just never know when the heavens will be smiling down on you...you dont want to miss it do you?'

for all you very special ladies,

Issy
