Trying to Conceive After Miscarriage or Loss April 2010

[jellylove]

sarahrach - That is definitely a great 2nd line! wow congrats! can't wait til i see both of those lines fingers crossed...

Alice - I have had a few visits from af though since my loss, they've all been pretty normal - this one is different very light - however i am still getting cramps so not getting my hopes up too much just yet!

[KitFaerie]

SarahRach: OMG!!! Congratulations!!! So happy for you babe, enjoy it!

Jellylove: Hmm, interesting, it's really hard to know what's going on! I hope it works out for you babe.

Jenna: Ooooh, high temp sounds good! Lets hope it stays there! I have two dots on my chart, and I'm stupidly excited about it, I think I may be a chart addict in the making!

Alice: Thanks sweetheart *hugs* (What's that noise? What is it? Oh, it's May coming! And it's saying ''Hello Alice!!")

Dory: We played Killer Bunnies! Awesome game, love it. I never win though, lol. And we played some game where you throw blocks of wood around and try to hit them with sticks, my sister and I are not the most co-ordinated people in the world, but we probably had the most fun!

Crafty & Ferrals: Hows things my loves? I miss you both! xo xo

MatthewsMum: Any new news, what's happening?

AFM: Oh so slightly disheartened, but still positive. These things take time, and it's teaching me patience. And I get to play with data with temping! This AF started off a bit slow, but it's pretty normal now, which is good. I hope this is the last time I see her for a good long while.

[jellylove]

KitFaerie - Glad you're staying positive! Hang in there, you're right they do take time... I'm finding that I'm having to learn to have some patience while TTC, It is hard but worth it in the end

[jellylove]

bons - Hope your time away from DH goes quick for you! I remember when my DF went to work away we only managed 2 nights i think it was away from each other then he decided to brave the 2 hour journey home every night bless! That job didn't last very long thank goodness! The waiting is the hardest part i think! best of luck for you!

[Iona Macca]

[possum magic]

Sarahrach: Congratulations! Great news. I like that you posted the picture of your positive test too: always exciting to see two lines even when they belong to someone else!

Ami: welcome to the thread and perhaps, soon, goodbye?! Hope that second line hangs around

Hi Alice, you asked whether i'm an HP fan. Sorry but i don't know what that stands for?

Ferrals: hope you're doing ok. Start of a new cycle is always a downer.

MathewsMum: things sound like you've got lots of good potential there. May it continue!

Craftymummy, Kitfaerie, T-hopes (Glad you're enjoying your holiday), Jellylove, Rose, Milly, TTCALC and anyone else i missed, hello

AFM: In TWW, AF due Sunday or Monday and... nothing. A bit of cramping and sore boobage but i think i'd be more likely to forecast the outcome of this months TTC if I read tea leaves than my own body. I give up! I think having had two pregnancies (one mc) and getting older my body has changed and i i'm not sure what to look for in terms of AF coming or pg. My body seems to be having a bet each way at the moment! Anyone else found that their symptoms have changed as they got older?

[ferrals5]

Crafty-If you can do it then so can i.
I have been feeling a bit low the last few days there is another girl at work pregnant she is a drugo and m/c in feb and now is whinging that she is pregnant again i just said to her ever her of contraception or keeping your legs shut she wasn't impressed but i am her senior at work so she just shut her trap and walked away.
Anyway i emailed you and murrycod for a bit of a vent and some support and of course i missed you i also got mine and DH chinese herbs from America yesterday i got a mixture called super fertility #2 and a anti stress mixture and DH got a male fertility mixture they all are chinese herbs and we got all this info with them and we can talk to there specialist any time for free so i hope these do the trick.
I am looking forward to my booties and please take your time with them i know what it is like to be busy with kids i have my 3 boys home my oldest sons girlfriend my step daughter and her two friends having a sleep over tonight we set the tent up in the upstairs lounge room for the little ones our house is so huge we have 3 lounge rooms and a pool table room so plenty of space for everyone.
anyway i am happy to see you have a plan to keep going i will be with you for the ride.

Alice,Bons & Kitfaerie- thanks for asking about me i am doing ok just taking one day at a time sometimes i am strong and can just about deal with anything and other days i lose it and want to curl up and disapear but today is a good day.

TTCALC-Sounds like your kiddos were spoilt and i know you would love every minute of spoiling them.

Newbies- Hi and welcome i will get around to you all but by the look of it some of you will be moving over to the BB thread before i get the chance.

Murrycod-I need you!

Mathewsmum-goodluck!

Possum magic-I know it sux big time but we bounce back at O time thanks for thinking of me and yes as i have gotten older things have changed i no longer have ewcm and i get sore boobs at time of AF never use to so i feel the same if i am pregnant or not and since my IVF in nov my cycle is a touch longer 28-29 days one month then 30-33 days the next

AFM-I am still feeling like s##t had to go to the dentist today and it was extreamly painful just this one stupid tooth i need root canal therapy $1125 or have it pulled out i am panicing i have never had a problem with my teeth all my others are great but this one so they drilled it and packed it with antibiotics and filled it to last a month until i decide what to do.
And for all the ladies asking about Mowgli i have 22 sleeps left until i bring him home i cant wait.
DH and i started our chinese herbs today and i am on cycle day 4 of my 4th month TTC we have decided to give it until my 37th Bday so we have one year to try for a healthy SLO free baby so i better get to it i also need to lose 3kgs so i have a few things to do to keep me busy i just hope i can keep the stress down and my FSH down with it.

[Reet]

Wow! this has taken me forever to read everything! u really need to check this a few times during the day to keep on top of it all!
ok..

Rose- I cant believe you bled for 6.5 wks! that wld be frustrating! im grateful i only bled for 1 week, i just wish AF wld hurry up now! I hope your AF doesnt show on fri .. fingers crossed! Oh and where do u live that u have never seen a cochroach??? i find that insane! i live in North Qld and there everywhere!

Alice- Thanku for ur kind words. I cant believe u have been TTC for 9 years, ppl like u are truly an inspiration, you must be so strong. I honestly dont think i could do it.. i wld be one big depressed mess! Good luck x

Matthewsmum- The gyno told me to wait one cycle so im happy for AF to come before falling pg again just to be on the safe side, but its just this waiting game i cant stand! just like everyone else i guess! I also had other issues.. i found out before i fell pg that i wasnt ovulating after being on the pill for 8 yrs and i didnt get a period for 4 months, so im hoping thats not going to happen again. The female body is such a hard thing to understand! Good luck to you

Bons- How exciting to be TTC at the same time as ur mum! Hope everything goes well for the both of u

Kitfaerie- I also agree with everything u wrote in the post to Ami, i think i wld love to fall pg straight away just so i cld pretend that my baby never left me.. but like Millyd said- we shldnt be concentrating on having babies in 2010 but just getting that BFP and enjoying it!

Millyd- its crazy how obsessive you become when u are TTC! its like an illness.. its all i can think about.. and no1 around me understands! about 2 wks after my m/c i realised that i shld probly start keeping my thoughts to myself because all i cld talk about was m/c.. TTC and babies!! and really no1 understands unless they have gone thru it too. I never knew TTC wld be so hard.. it seems like everyone can do it except for me! Oh well our times will come. Good luck

JennaJayen- I was constipated when i was pg .. it was excruciating during intercourse! i thought at one stage i had a huge tumour about to erupt inside me! i hope u've sorted it Good luck with testing next week!!!!!

Dory- Thankyou for all ur kind words. It wld have been awful bleeding for 8 weeks! im so glad mine stopped after 1 week.. i think i wld have been 10 times more frustrated now if i was still bleeding! U have been thru an awful lot, u must be one strong lady. Hearing about other ppls stories like ur own makes me realise that theres alot of other ppl that have had it a lot tougher then i have. I hope u get some good news soon. U really deserve it x

Jellylove- Hopefully its implantation!!! fingers crossed!!

TTCA- I didnt have a d&c either, my body passed it all naturally.. it was an awful 4 days, i didnt think it wld take so long for everything to pass! altho i am very glad it happened like that, i dont think i wld have coped having a d&c.

Ami- Oh i hope its a BFP!! Fingers crossed!! I reckon go straight to the doctors when u can and get a blood test a couple days apart to check ur hormone levels. Oh its so exciting!!!! Yay!!!!!

Sarahrach- a big CONGRATULATIONS!!! hope everything goes well!!!

And finally...!

AFM.. nothings changed. Still waiting for AF, this coming sunday it will be 7 weeks since i finished bleeding. i havent heard of anyone going over 6 weeks, which makes me think i cld be pregnant?! i poas 4 days ago and it was a BFN so i dont think i am but since i dont know when or if i ovulated since the m/c im not really sure if it cld just mean its too early for it to be a BFP??! oh i dont know.. why oh why does it all have to be so frustrating!! we are all just waiting waiting waiting!! i feel like im wasting my life away waiting!! how sad!
Its shocking how long this post is.. im so sorry to everyone that have managed to read it all! U shld see my text msges.. i can have something simple to say but it still ends up being 4 msges long! hopeless! haha.

Anyway Good Luck All!!!!! xxx

[sarahrach]

Thanks for all your wishes ladies - I know how bitter sweet it can be so I really, truely appreciate your support.

Possum: I had to post the BFP pic cause I was crazy excited. I like seeing them too, I was totally blown away with it looking like that at 10 DPO and not with FMU - so great!!!

Dory: yep, I think your right about probably always being scared during PG - I think MC takes the innocence away from it. When I told DH last night he made me promise that we were not going to tell anyone. It sort of feels like we should contain our excitement for a while (which is a bit different from last time).

[Ami]

Good morning ladies

Ferrals - my heart goes out to you. It's so difficult when people don't realise or understand what a blessing it is to get pregnant, & seem to just rub it in your face. She sounds like a little cow anyway. Good on you for telling her like it is! Good luck with your teeth, I was wincing the whole time I read that, you poor thing.

Possum Magic - I think it's not just getting old, but having the m/c has changed me. I'd never before been aware of when I O'd, but I've had cramps and sore boobs in the middle of my cycle since AF returned, which I'm pretty sure is just ovulation! I LOL'd at reading tea leaves being easier than our bodies, amen!

CraftyMummy - good luck with the new tablets, and if they do make you horny report back, my DH would pay good good money for those! Keep your spirits up.

MatthewsMum - one more day, thinking about you & sending you good vibes for tomorrow!

IonaMacca - thanks, I've got everything crossed too! Sorry about your little dude, there's been a vomitting thing going around here too, last week my 2yo vomitted all of my MIL couch (at least it wasn't my new one, I'm a bad DIL!), then through my car, TWICE! Ick.

Bons - sorry about DH going away, at least you've got BellyBelly to keep you company. I'm sorry we're not any good for getting you UTD though! Has AF arrived?

KitFaerie - sending positive thoughts your way, it's a new cycle full of new opportunities!

Jellylove - update? How're things going with you?

Alice - thanks! How're things going your way?

AFM: Well jumped out of bed this morning to use my last test (Confirm). Today is the day I'd be expecting AF. Waited 3 minutes & can see another super faint line. I CAN see it held at arms length though...This morning my boobs feel a bit more sore, and heavier... so I'm going to go to the doctors this afternoon to get a BT. Dory was so right, talking to DH about it last night & he's stoked, but I'm so anxious that it will turn out as last time. Then I read on the BabyCentre website Pregnancies with complications also produce hCG but in lesser amounts, so that could be causing the faint line. WHAT?!?!?

[Reet]

I am super frustrated!! i wrote this huge long post at midnight last nite and it came up with a msg saying the moderators would check it over before posting it, but it still isnt here!!! what do i do??? i hope its not lost!
... and it didnt just do it when i posted this one.. hhhmmmm

[ferrals5]

Ami-congratz on the BFP i know of many women who had super faint lines and everything was fine i myself was not so lucky the hpt'S i took when pregnant with my 3 boys were at 10dpo and were dark straight away and when i was pregnant with Abbi the day before AF i got a super faint line i could see it at arms length just and it was like that for a few days anyway it turned out from what i was told by my professor at the fetal medicine unit that Abbi's low hormones was the 1st sign of our genetic problem and at the 11 week BT they were still really low but that was in my case so now i will worry if i do get a pos hpt and it is faint it will be the same as Abbi's pregnancy not much i can do but just cross our fingers and pray that it will all turn out ok.

Reet-it depend's on what you wrote in your post if it is anything that the moderators think will upset people or if it is somthing that they think should be posted in another thread they will move it or if you swear or rant and rave about a topic that might be not so nice they will edit it.
I have been edited a few times not to worry a few of us girls just email each other at our home emails and say what can't be said here.

AFM-AF has left the building so this is month 4 of TTC (well technically) but a year since losing Abbi so enough stuff arseing around i have waited long enough this month is going to be the one because if i fall pregnant next month i worked out the baby will be due on Abbi's 2nd Bday and i don't know if i want that.
I have my chinese herbs my CBFM my temp chart and Maybe baby all ready now i know we get it on the right days we just need one good egg and one good sperm
PLEASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSE!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

off to work talk to you all tonight.

[sarahrach]

Woo hoo Ami - that's great news. Going to be lots of pressies under the Christmas tree this year!!!

Ferrals - that's interesting about getting the dark lines early for your different pregnancies. I wonder if that's a common thing or just varied due to the time of implantation. Curious though.

[Bons]

Morning Everyone,
Ferrals - glad to see you are back, I totally agree with you about telling the girl to keep her legs crossed or use birth control, one of the boys DH works with is 22 and found out his g/f is pregnant with number 6, I wanted to scream at them!
Ami - Good luck with bt this afternoon, heavy sore boobs are a good sign though!
Jellylove - Im used to spending time away from Dh, we have been together 8 yrs now, all of that time in the Navy, the last week they are away seems to drag on
Ionamacca - Hope gastro bug leaves very quickly, at least little ones bounce back quick from it (apparently goes through their system quicker), Mum told me to let my DS eat as many packets of chips and drink as much gatorade as he could to help!

AFM - I think Af is due in 5 or 6 days time, my cycle is never regular always going between 28 and 34 days, so who nows???? Spent most of last night writing an application to be a Pathology Collector, I really hope i get this job, need something else to focus on for a while....on another note what is everyones opinion on staffy's, amstaff's and pitbulls? it interests me because everyone keeps freaking out that my puppy is going to eat them or their dog......when i feel nothing could be further from the truth!!! and the latest news reports arent helping much either.....
hope everyone has a good day
xx

[Tegam]

Whooooo hooooooo!!! Now that is a good lookin 2nd line!!!!! Congrats!!!!!
