    Geeze Mother day is hard work. All those smiles and flowers. I guess being in my TWW I'm feeling it more than normal, thinking that maybe if last time had stuck I could have been secretly celebrating. oh well can only for the future.

    Goodluck Cherrished

    Ferrals I know there are bumps and babies everywhere but we're in our TWW which means anything is possible

    JackJack thank you, I'm feeling so seedy at the moment all good signs but a long way to go.........

    happy mothers day to all

    How did everyone get on today? I was ok...that was until I went out to my baby tree, pinned a poem onto the tree and put a wooden cow toy under it and then i bawled my eyes out there in the middle of the backyard at 8am in my pj's tissue in hand slippers on... I then went inside and crawled into DH and cried on him and just hugged him. He was so suportive.

    Then my sister came over, she gave me a bunch of pink daisies and a pink angel hanging ornament for my angel baby, which its funny, we both call it a her. It was so sweet.

    Hope you're all ok today xxx We will have our forever babies soon ladies.

    Love you lots, my warm cuddly support network!

    Hi all,

    I go for my final blood test today - hopefully I will finally have that HCG zero. I think - I am hoping - it will be, as I don't feel like I am on the hormone crash anymore.

    Coco - thank you!!!!

    Question ladies - do any of you take baby aspirin? I posted on the other board (TTCAML) here is the link but I am not sure if the link will work: https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...-aspririn.html
    I am just wondering about it, that's all....

    Milly: You're more than welcome hun. xx Fingers crossed for you! I think your HCG is always around 5 is it not? I read it somewhere...that there is always a small amount of HCG in your blood *shrug* can't wait to see you in a TWW!!!

    I just had my blood tests done for my prog levels, rubella, HIV (Just cos its one they can do at same time, but doubt id have it!) and whatever else they're testing..its kinda a full blood scan thing..

    Anyone had their Prog levels tested at 7-8 DPO? What type of numbers should I be expecting to come back if its good *or bad*?

    Hi ladies, thought id pop in here, and chat to u all, if thats ok.

    I lost my angel baby tuesday last week and had it confirmed on thursday, i was 6 weeks and 2 days, and it had taken us 5 months of ttc.
    It was my 7th pregnancy but would have been my 6th baby.

    I am ready to jump back in to ttc again.
    Im not sure if my body is, but my heart and mind are telling me that they dont want to wait.
    Im not sure about hubby, he was devestated by this loss, and he kinda wont talk to me about ttc again.
    I know he wants to as he was talking about having another baby, but i want him to be ready now as well.

    So i look forward to getting to know you all.

    Welcome Anila,
    I hope your stay in this thread is short. Big hugs.
    Coco - I had progesterone checks 7dpo and I think my levels both times were 30 something and 20 something! but it just means you have definetly ovulated though I think a high level is an indicator of pregnancy!

    thanks erybery

    Well looks like the bleeding is on its way out, so happy about that.
    did any one wait a cycle or get straight back into after their loss?
    I was talking to the two mums at school who knew about our our loss, 1 said you could then then other said to wait.
    either way if hubby says he is ready, i wont be waiting, lol.

    NOT HAPPY!!!!
    I just got home from soccer training with my youngest ferral and opened a letter from the hospital where my daughter was born it was an apology letter for a major #### up (excuse my french) that i hoped they would fix.
    I will try to tell you in as short a way as possible, when abbi was born we had the option of taking photo's of my beautiful girl or the midwives could do it for us i opted for them to take the photo's as i was holding my girl and was to upset they then showed me the photo's on the digital camera and said they would burn them on a disk and send them to us.Well 7 days after abbi was born we get a call from the head midwife to say that a casual nurse had accidently deleted the photo's i went off my head saying those photo's are the only one's we have and are irraplaceable i was devastated my hubby demanded they take the memory card to a camera shop to try and retrieve the deleted photo's they were able to retrieve 30 photo's of still born babbies none of them abbi.
    The midwives who went through abbi's birth with me were so upset that they organised for abbi to be brought back to the hospital from westmead after her autopsy they wrapped her in a blanket and took a photo of her for me so i have somthing to look at other than her footprints.It was 10 days later but she still looked beautiful just red and her skin was shiney but at least i have a photo.
    Anyway the letter said that they are so sorry the nurse who did it was not trained in using the camera and because of what happened they now have a new procedure in place to remove the memory card after photo's of stillborn babies have been taken and a new memory card to be put in. It's to late for us because of one nurse we had the worst time of our lives made even harder because we have lost those preacious photo's forever.
    Sorry if i raved on but i needed to have a winge because an apology just is'nt good enough.

    Hi,

    I just lost my baby on Friday last week. I'm just devastated... My womb feels so empty.... I was so happy being pregnant and would love to start again as soon as we can. I don't feel I have the luxury of waiting until I'm more emotionally ready because, if I want another homebirth, I only have 4mths to conceive b4 it's illegal for my midwife to come to my birth.... just a bit of pressure!

    I'm still bleeding (and passing a few clots) and I'm unsure whether my body ovulates next or gets a period? (I suppose O?).

    I used charting to conceive and would like to do so again, however, does anyone know if that would work, seeing that I probably still have HCG hormones in my body?

    I had bloods done today to see what all the hormones are doing, so I'll find that out tomorrow.

    it is so unfair why do some people get it so easy no planning no effort baby just appears is born and life is fine and so many other have a loss have to wait and try for years

    getting over it and just waiting to be able to have a baby
