Just popping my head in to say Miss K - definitely not your fault! Apparently you get as much radiation from a few minutes in the sun as you do from one of those x-rays. Don't beat yourself up - give yourself a pat ont he back for looking after your teeth while pregnant - not enough people do. I'm very very sorry for your loss. I'm a big advocate of the wait before TTC again. I had a forced 6 month wait - I'm not suggesting that long though! - and it was a really good time for us as a couple.
I reckon don't try, don't be cautious. That baby will be there when it's ready.
Kit - how good is crying in the shower? OK, so crying's sorta not good, but the shower's a good place for it. I cried on the bus when I got my last AF, and had no hankies or anything, I was a mess! But I broke out of it when the bus driver locked it up to avoid a koala crossing the road with a baby on its back.
Plucking your eyebrows is a great way to snap out of it if you're having a hysterical cry and you want to stop. (I've always been a crier. It doesn't take much)
How are all you other ladies going? Sorry I'm not round much. I lurk. Thinking of all of you lots of the time.
Hope everyone is going fine and enjoying their weekend.
Welcome to new members who have joined the thread in recent days, Sorry that you are here and trying to cope with the losses and suffering, but here the girls are just amazing and its like a small family sharing the same sorrow and trying to acheieve the same goal of embracing the motherhood. I wish all of you a very best and hope your TTC journey is short and sweet.
And to all my friends here, MurrayCod, Anita, CraftyMummy, T Hope, Sparkles, Snugglybean, Matthew's Mum, Ferrals, Loppy louise, SPF, Sunbeam...how are you feeling all?? Anita - Sorry that AF knocked at your door, but what can we say and do..well be ready for next cycle, pull your socks and be prepared and good luck this month.
I think this month is sicky month for us.. first it was me and now DH, suffering from cold, cough and fever (i am blaming everychanging weather of Mel)...but i am so mean machine that i told him to do BD on imp dates... and he said "you must be joking right"...poor hubby...
thats why i am away, i am praying that his health gets back to normal. So i dont know about this month.
I will try to do the detailed post again.
Ferrals - thanks alot for sending me the Montage, once again...its very heart touching. when are you testing? all the best.
i know you and crafty mummy are the gizmo gals...i too want one of those moniter, but its not available in OZLAND...there is a costco in Docklands (Mel),i dont know whether we can get it there or not???? Any melbournians been to costco and saw the clear blue digital fertility monitor??
Craftymummy - Goodluck to you too for testing.
Murraycod - How are you? i am too demotivated, lazy and tired. i think its a phase we are in.
Morning ladies had a very busy extremely stressfull few days so i am looking forward to my day off today with all the kids at school or out for the day i will be back later tonight to have a chat.
Ric-crafty and i got our gizmos from the UK sight on ebay so you pay with paypal it is safe and real quick i have ordered a few things from there and i paid $120 for the monitor and $20 or $30 for postage.
AFM- i poas this morning of course a BFN which i new would happen why do i bother testing my eggs are duds.
Just a quick message to say I lost my 4th baby on Friday.... Obviously very devastated and have a lot of questions to ask. I can seem to carry past 6 weeks.... why?? I've had a lot of tests done and all come back normal. Is it my job? (involves heavy lifting, bending over, pushing and pulling trolleys) Are my hormones out of whack? Is my weight affecting my chances of carrying sucessfully? Should I be doing agility with my dogs? So many questions.... these are just the start. This one felt right from the start... extremely cranky, fatigued, irritated and sore boobs, stronger sense of smell..... only thing I didnt have was morning sickness.
I'm just thankful (as bad as it was) it happened Friday as I was away from home and hubby on the weekend. Hubby has been great but it hurts me so much to see him upset telling our mums and to hear him say he had a cry when I was not around.... he would be a great dad. I was meant to go back to work today.... I turned up but I couldnt do it, I saw one of my work mates and burst into tears.
Ohhhh, louie I'm so sorry to hear that. Can your doctor tell you anything? After 4 losses, I'm pretty sure it stops being "just one of those things" and there's more you can find out if you push for it. And we all want you to push.
Ferrals - bummed. I would love to call in on you for a cuppa and a big hug, but it's to too far.
Raining big ones here. I've got the day off. Going shopping in town - yahoo! We went out to a gig last night, it was such a beautiful night, with wonderful friends, I had a great time and it helped me to love my life again. I found myself thinking "I would have missed this." I know it wouldn't measure up to having a baby, but thinking that way is helping me along a lot.
CD10 - ready to get busy!
Looppylouie I am so so sorry this keeps happening.
I have been lurking but not posting. My heart breaks for all of you when I read that things aren't going as well as they should ie AF etc. Me I am a few days post O trying to not think about it. DH pulled the pin on our IVF plans so boohoo for me. I just hope it pays off and we are not heading down that road in another year or two because we are still not pregnant. He reckons we are too young but I know he is stingy and doesn't want to pay the money and not be guaranteed of a baby. It sucks as I was the one paying for it anyway. Oh well. There is no reason I can't get pregnant even with my one bodgy tube just trying to take comfort in that.
