Thanks for the suggestion re. Group B Strep - I called the Coroner/Pathologist - as we are awaiting our final autopsy report, which will reveal any blood & tissue problems. They will be finished the final report next week - but could tell me now that Group B Strep was tested for and came back negative.
We may never get an answer as to why our little boy died, I'm preparing myself for that.
Meantime, I'm just trying to move forward, and not obsess about being pregnant again!! It's been 7 weeks since our baby died, seems like forever. It'll take time most likely to get pregnant again, and I try to keep busy and fulfilled in the meantime - so hard to be happy sometimes when I remember all that my little boy has missed out on.
I'll let all know if the final autopsy report has any major revalations - I truly hope so.
Good luck this week ladies with TTC, I really am sending positive vibes to all of you.
Maz - I didn't have a D&C either and my AF came right on 4 weeks after the m/c.
Zionsmum - Don't worry too much about your boss' request. You could get pregnant a month or two later and then give birth prematurely & it would still fall within the busy time (let's hope not though, better to have a full term bub).
Bun - lucky you going to Spain. I haven't been but it looks like a great place to visit. That's a really hard choice between London & Paris as both are great cities to visit, but I think if I had the choice I'd go to London. Heaps to see and do in both places but I found the Parisians to be rude & it's the only place that I've travelled to and had a guy grab my boobs right there in the street in broad daylight..... so I guess I'm a little biased because of that. Whatever you choose I'm sure you will have a great time.
Nothing to report from me except that my AF is well and truly gone. I'm surprised by this as I thought it would be nastier and longer than it was... only 3 days.... I'm not complaining though. I just wish the rest of the week would fly by, I want to know what my u/s results were.
Congratulations to Mummyto1 and Tonners that is brilliant news xxx
Shan - you go girl .... congrats on the weight loss you are doing really really well.. think of you often hun xxx

Hi girls I hope that you don't mind me popping in but I think of you all often and lurk around to see how everyone is going........ so I would like to send you all lots and lots and lots of
Unfortunately i need to join this thread now, in the past month we have gone from LTTTC, to PALLTC, to TTCAM.... get your head around all those acronyms...
Basically we are a same-sex couple, having IUI/IVF since April last year, first I tried to conceive, but then handed over to my partner Kim after 3 failed IUI's and 3 failed IVF cycles. Through all the IVF cycles i only made 2 embryo's and had both transfered with no luck. The most eggs i made were 8 and that was the cycle i got the 2 embryos...
Kim on the other hand fell pregnant quite quickly...although when she was what we thought was 8 weeks, we went to have a repeat U/S due to a Subchorionic Hematoma diagnosed at 6 weeks, to find our little one without a heartbeat. She had a D&C the same day. That was last Thursday... we are waiting for the results of the tests from the D&C before we go back for an appt with our doctor to work out a plan, so Kim can try again.
During one of the cycles of IVF, Kim went through stimulation to become my egg donor, as i was thought to have an egg quality issue... Unfortunately she ovulated before egg pickup and they only managed to get 3 eggs from 3 follicles, when there were at least 7 on the U/S days earlier.. Only 2 fertilised and they were both triploid (3 nucleus).
So now we wait for the results of the D&C to see if this was the case with this pregnancy, so kim may or may not need testing for a balanced translocation in her chromosomes, which can only be treated by having IVF with Pre-genetic Diagnosis on the embryos.
So we have had a year long battle so far, with no way of trying for a natural miracle... hopefully Kim's tests will come out OK and we can try again soon.
