I meant to say in my last post too Jen, I haven't forgotten its your birthday tomorrow either ;) Will come back wish you a happy birthday then! I got distracted by DH ringing to say hello from Mexico where he is for a work trip, he will be in Arizona in a couple of days so not too far away from you! A totally irrelevant tidbit, but there you go :)
Believe it or not, WTH, I was also a RAK recipient before there was even such a thing as RAK! My avi was a gift from a very missed friend! I was completely blown out of the water when I found out! It's really a special thing--I'm glad you were picked! :dance:
HI all - just popping in with a quick on for Jen
First of all know I am thinking about you today (the 5th) on the anniversary of your angel baby. Hope you through the day okay :hug: :comfort:
Second happy birthday wishes for tomorrow (the 6th) I hope you have a really great day - and do something really nice :happybirthday::happyforyou::partysmiley::birthday 2::happybirthday:
Hi girls,
Sorry I didn't post last night but our computer is broken at the moment and I am working off another one and everyone time I go to post I have to log in and seem to have lost all my settings - very frustrating :computer: DH works in IT and I don't know where he gets the patience! Hopefully he has time to fix it tonight.
Jen - First of all I am thinking of you today on your angel's EDD :hug: Secondly to your question I am pretty sure you still o from alternate ovaries each month. My right tube was blocked but after my op the Dr told me he could tell that I had o from my right ovary in January. That's why when you have a blocked tube there is a high risk of etopic pg. I do remember having o pains on my right side when my tube was blocked but everyone is different. Wouldn't hurt to ask your GP while your there though. Are you still seeing him tomorrow? Will come back tomorrow but want to say an early Happy Birthday! I hope you get the best present in the world - a BFP!
plc - Hi, I have a question for you....Did you have severe endo or just mild? The dr told me I only had a mild case but it still could have been causing us to have fertility issues. He said some people only have to have minor obstacles to have problems whereas others can have more severe issues but never have a problem. I guess I just wonder as I had my lap a few weeks ago and am due for AF next week and so hope it doesn't come! Trying not to get my hopes up though but it is so hard :rolleyes: Big :hug: to April!
mrzbaby - You poor thing, to suffer a m/c is devastating enough but to have to go through 3 d&c's is just cruel. I hope things start to look up for you soon :hug:
jackjack - DH and I also got tested for chromosonal issues (everything was ok thankfully) and I have also been tested for Lupus (a few times now as it runs in my family). I know a little about Lupus as a few family members have it. I can tell you though that all of them have gone on to have healthy children although it may have taken a little longer than they had wanted it was a happy ending! All the best with the results, I certainly hope you get the all clear but I wanted to give you a positive story about Lupus to boost your spirits while waiting for the results. :)
Megsmum - You could never outstay your welcome - you give us all hope and I am glad you still pop in to visit :D
Toccara - Best of luck at the Dr. I hope you get some answers so you can start to move forward on your TTC journey.
Theresa - All the best for your scan on the 12th!
Rhi - I hope it was too early to test and AF stays away.
WTH - So glad everything is going well *stickyvibes*
HannahD - Hope you and DH are having a good time away and AF hasn't found you!
Big hi to babymiracles, kazaraz, shortcake, charm, abbey (hope AF has eased up), meh, smi, boble and anyone else I may have missed.
AFM - Coldplay were awesome! I really enjoyed it even though DH is the bigger fan. Off to Melbourne again in 2 weeks with my best friend and her DH so we can do some shopping and the boys will go off and do their own thing! Can't wait.
Had really severe cramping today, although don't think it is TTC related. Think I just ate something dodgy in Melbourne!
Settled into the TWW now, just waiting, waiting, waiting.......
Jen Happy B'day for tomorrow I hope you have a awesome day :)
MrzBaby big hugs for you I hope for you 3rd time lucky this is the last thing you need.
Rhi I really hope it's to early I hope the next one is positive.
I am tring my best to learn everyones names and what is happening in your lives.
Today I went to see the gyno he was great my baby was a girl and the results show she has monosomy X Syndrome (also known as turners syndrome) Apparently it could just be a one off as my other 2 children are fine so my fingers and toes are crossed for when I fall pregnant again and I was able to tell my daughter it was a girl as she wanted to know(she says the next will be a boy so we will see) I am curious to why my right ovary was swollen on the untrasound though? I hope everyone else is doing well I am thinking of you all take care goodnight maybe I will get some sleep tonight.
Jen - great big massive :hug: for you today ... thinking of you hun. Will be back tomorrow for special bday wishes too...
Charm - just wanted to say that my two m/c last year (9 wks and 11 wks) were due to 45x otherwise known as monosomy x. It is completely random, not age-related and non-inherited and is very very unlikely to occur again in future pgcies. My 2nd m/c was an extremely rare exception to this rule. Anyway, am now expecting a little girl and all seems to be going well, something we'd thought couldn't happen. Hope you're doing ok after getting the results - in my experience it was a relief to have a reason for losing the babies, but at the same time it seems to open up a whole other set of worries. Big hugs hun:hug: - feel free to pm me if ever you need...
wth - yay for great ultrasound!! Sending all of the zen vibes in the world to you for the next few weeks.... :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Big huge love and hugs to you all

Oh no, I posted this afternoon and it looks like my post went straight to forum heaven.
Take two....
I know it's been such a long time since I posted in here, but sometimes I'm just not sure if it's still appropriate for me to post in here. I'm still always reading what is happening and thinking about you all. For all those who are new to this thread, I am terribly sorry for your losses. I've very glad that you have found this wonderful thread which helped me through one of the toughest times of my life.
I noticed that quite a few people are going through an extremely tough time at the moment, and my heart goes out to you all. Please remember that miracles can and DO happen!
Jen, I'm still stalking your chart missy and my fingers are crossed sooooooo hard that your temperature stays high and that you get your much deserved BFP. Plus, I don't believe that 12 is an unlucky number ;)
My thoughts will be with you for your angel-versary sweetness. Hopefully your little angel will visit you with a big bucket-load of luck and babyvibes!
Oh, and miss our wonderful RAK giver too :(
Jen just wanted to wish you a very :birthday2: hope you have a great birthday. Glad that DS is starting to feel a little better.
Krystie - Great to see you are doing well.
big :hello: to everyone else sending lots of :hug: and :bluedust: to you all
Jen- May you find peace on this day of your angels anniversary! Happy early Birthday!
babymiracles, Mel, charm, jenushka, Krystie, chappas, & Shortcake--Thanks so much for you well-wishes on my, as Krystie has called it, angel-versary. (You have a knack for being able to bring a smile to my face, Krystie! Also liked the 'forum heaven'! :lol: ) Big :grouphug: for you all--you're all amazing friends!
Well, after this morning's temp drop, I think it's probably safe to say that AF is on her way.... woke up with some wonderful cramps and some lovely :pms: as well, so looks like maybe I won't be having that b-day pap tomorrow! :rolleyes: I've determined which is the lesser of two evils.... think I'd rather have a pap than AF on my b-day--at least then I could still get some action! :rofl: Although, looks like I can at least celebrate with a drink--the silver lining, this is it!
Anyhow, will be back later to catch up some more.... just wanted to thank you girls for your endless support! :hug:
Happy Birthday Jen! Still praying AF stays away for you!
:happybirthday: Jen! Wishing you a wonderful day. Hope you get some answers at the Dr's and :pray: AF stays away. :hug:
Thanks girls, it's still a day early yet here, but for you girls there is Aussie, it's already my b-day! :lol:
Morning Jen (well it's morning here!):)
Happy Birthday Festival ~ how much better to have your special day spread over a couple of times zones!
Hope you managed your small person's angel-versary yesterday. :hug:
Take care,
M
Jen - just wanted to pop in and say "I'm thinking of you" on this very special day. Hope to see you in chat sometime later tonight.
KL - nice to see you pop in as well (hope to see you tonight as well)
Short and sweet this time - taking the kids out to playgroup in a few minutes.
Jen: Happy birthday once again - hope it is a great day :happybirthday:
:grouphug: to everyone. I know many of you are going through a very rough time at the moment. You are in my thoughts.
Not really meant to be in this forum now but hoping you guys don't mind if I drop in once in a while. For those who have wished me luck on todays scan - thank you so much. It went well this morning at my first 'official' OB appt (have already had two scans with him cos of spotting and worrying) - babies heart still beating away and growing beautifully and was very blessed to see baby moving around this morning. Next scan 2.5 weeks away - so praying I can relax and just enjoy being pregnant until then
Hi everyone,
DH and I are back from our trip a day early. It was almost a complete disaster. AF arrived Tuesday, about an hour before we left, so I was in a miserable mood all day and slept like crap that night. I felt better on Wednesday, our anniversary (thankyou to all of you who wished us well) and we had a very relaxed easy day and a lovely dinner with a bottle of wine (the silver lining of AF showing up). But then yesterday the car started playing up. Turns out the fuel pump is gone. The mechanics couldn't find a replacement but managed to patch it up enough for us to get home. We decided to leave yesterday afternoon rather than this morning because we just wanted to get home by this point. Well we didn't quite make it home with the car. We had to stop start so much that it took us 2 hours to get halfway when the entire trip shouldn't have taken more than 1.5 hours. (At least we hadn't gone interstate for our trip). It was a very stressful trip since the car was reluctant to start, then once it started it didn't want to keep going and once it got going it didn't want to go faster than 50km/h. :wall: On top of that it was raining. Once we got halfway home, we called my mum to come and pick us up. We left the car behind and DH is out now to pick up the new fuel pump so that we can fix it and hopefully get it home.
Also yesterday, Mum had called to say that one of our pet dragons had died while we were away. But when we got home, we found him hiding under a log and very still, but he is okay. :dance:
But now I really need a holiday to recover from my holiday.
Oh and I'll warn you that there is :tmi: coming up. Last night I passed a big clot (about the size of a 20c piece!). I've never passed large clots with AF before. I'd had some pain on wednesday on my left side that was quite similar to O pain and it felt tender yesterday whenever I put a little pressure on my lower abdomen. But since passing the clot, all pain is gone and I feel really good now. A bit like when you relax after being tense for some time, even if you didn't realised you were tense. Does this make sense? I'm just not sure if I should bother my doctor with it. Maybe I'll just see how I feel for a couple of days.
Sorry for the long me post. DH is back now so I'm off to help him deal with the car. It looks like I have some reading to do to catch up. I'll come back for persies later.
jen - Just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you on your angel's anniversary yesterday. :hug: I also want to wish you a :happybirthday: for today (not sure if its the 6th yet in California so I might be early). I'm :pray: AF doesn't show so you have even more to celebrate. But I hope you enjoy the day either way and get utterly spoilt by your boys.
babymiracles - Thinking of you at your scan today. Glad all is well. :dance:
Hi all,
Jackjack - I don't think we've met? Hello! Glad you had a good time in QLD. No good about the clot, but sounds like you have found a great gyno.
mrzbaby - Sorry to hear another D&C - fingers crossed this is the last and then you can take some time to heal. Do they know why you are still having after birth pains? Can they give you something for them, so at least you can get some rest?
plc - Thanks for dropping by and giving us hope. 19mths is far too long, but goes to show what can be achieved!
Jen- Kisses to your Angel xx Happy Birthday for the 6th! Hope you have a wonderful day! (Sorry to hear that the witch (AF) might be visting soon.)
Charm - Glad to hear you are getting some answers, hope this helps with the healing process.
Hannah - awww. Nasty piece of work af is. and sorry to hear your holiday got cut short. I think you do need another one!
Hello to everyone else!
Not much happening for me. I am thinking af is coming soon (sore bb's, mild cramping), but am at peace with this now. I think I need af to visit, then I can start again properly - not sure if this makes sense but I feel like I am in limbo until she visits. Once she visits, we will get back into it. I also have been a bit ill, just a cold and a stomach bug, so am feeling crappy anyway. I Went to see the naturopath this morning. She is still working on my ovaries and emotional well-being. She has given me some pills to help me look positive to the future and not dwell too much on the past - I nodded when she said this cos it has hit the nail on the head about how I am feeling.
Anyway, am going to take this opportunity whilst dd is sleeping to get some myself.
Take care everyone and I'll pop back on the weekend for more personals and to see how everyone is going.
xx
