Hi everyone ~ this is just a quick one.

It's so cool today.....it's not even 30 yet - yay!! :)

Welcome samandpoppy. I'm so sorry for your losses - it doesn't matter 'when' the loss happens, I so understand what you mean about it still feeling like a big loss. These are lovely supportive women and I'm glad you've found them. I love that your DD 'typed' too. :)

Ok everyone ~ happy weekend. Hope the weather in your space is manageable hot/cold or otherwise! :)

Ruthie

hey Ruthie so happy for you girl! now you can start and hopefully have a BFP in no time at all...goodluck luv....thinking of you...

samandpoppy - welcome to this wonderful thread hope that soon you too will have a BFP...its certainly the month for it...by the way I too just recently had recurrent miscarriage testing and one was the thyroid stimulating hormone which is all out of whack I have hashimotos disease which is a underactive thyroid condition, which Im taking oraxcin for now. I'm trying to get in to see my doctor for an updated blood test to check my levels but my new employer keeps sending me out of TOWN!!! anyway will keep you posted on your thread on how the next results go. Will read yours now.

As you can see Im just lurking for the time being but can't help myself when I see the lovely gals getting BFP's and just posting to congratulate and I wish I was on the journey again myself...not long now hopefully.

HI:hello: to all the girls, Jen, Meh, Megsmum, Chappas, babymiracles, hannahD and hannah,plc,smi,shortcake,jenushka (yay its a girl!!)erybery,easha,Zach's mum, WTH and anyone else I've probably missed heaps of you but sending lots of :bluedust::bluedust::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesbo y: your way!!

off to Brisbane tommorrow morning for 2 weeks so will try and catch in on you all...I don't want to miss any BFP's....

by the way Victorians and south australians glad the weather has cooled for you, I live in the tropics and we usually get the intense humidity with the heat though never up around 43!! but the humidity is at 99% which can feel like 43deg! however we've had a monsoon trough come through (hopefully no cycylones) and its been wet and windy for the past 2 days!! In a way am glad to be flying into Brissy for some sunshine again!

Theresa - I hope you had a great time at your engagement party. Congratulations again.

chappas - Hope you enjoyed the party.

jen - I've been 3 or 4 days late the last 2 cycles, so I'll try to wait until Friday. If I can.

Ruthie - I'm so glad AF finally showed. Welcome back to TTC. I am sending :bluedust: your way. Goodluck hun.

mannie - It hasn't cooled in SA yet. Well not much anyway. I think we only just made it to 40 in Adelaide today. Had some beautiful gully breezes last night though which provided some short relief, but they'd all gone by morning. Have a great time in Brisbane.

:hello: meh, babymiracles, easha, plc, ajc, krystie, WTH, Indy, rachelswirl, hannahS, tutmae, princess, polly, possums, erybery, mollycat, angel, fifi, issy, jenushka, megsmum, mel, smi, tam and any one I've forgotten to mention by name.

Hi Ladies

We had a wonderful party! I even managed to keep everyone fooled by drinking non-alcoholic champagne!!! One more week until my scan - my nerves are driving me crazy!!

HannahD - :crossfingers: I am praying you get a BFP!!!!

Ruthie - Woohoo!!! That os great news! Now all we have to do is wait for your BFP! I am so excited for you!!!!

Jen, babymiracles & Chappas - Hi lovely ladies. Hope you are both keeping well and hope you enjoyed your weekend.
Chappas - how was the party?

Samandpoppy - Welcome. This is the best forum ever!!! You will find wonderful support and amazing women on here. Sorry for your loss - we all understand what you are going through. Sending you :hug:

Well I officially have a :cold: I think that is why I have been so run down the last few days. I have had plenty of rest today and DF even went and got us lunch so I didn't have to make anything. He is so sweet - he just makes me smile :)

Thinking of you all and sending you all plenty of love and :bluedust: and :stickyvibesgirl:

Ruthie--Freakin' yay! :hooray: Woo hoo! :leap: I've never been so happy for someone to have AF!! :rofl: Sending you an infinite supply of :pink-babydust: :bluedust:



Mannie--Have a safe trip to Brisbane! Try not to work too hard! :hug:



HannahD--Hey cycle buddy! I'm putting a big :noaf: force field around us!



Theresa--Glad to hear your enjoyed your engagement party! How smart of you to trick everyone with the non-alcoholic champaign! :clap: Sorry to hear you're fighting a cold, hope your relaxing day yesterday helped you feel recuperated! *hugs*

Hi Girls,
Just wondering if I can join you? My name is Kristy and we have 2 beautfil daughters, Jordan who is 12 and Ava who is 22 months.

First of all I just want to say how sorry I am to hear of your losses - what an emotional time for us all and hopefully the next month will bring us happiness again with some baby dust around!

I found out I was preg in Nov 08 but sadly started bleeding on 15th Dec 08. I lost the baby on Christmas Eve - I was 8 weeks :-( The doc decided I didn't need a D&C but my levels were never tested again after Christmas Eve. They were 200 - fast forward to 9th Jan when I get really bad pain and end up in hospital check levels and they were 710! So after many scans and blood tests every 3-5 days the doc's conculed I have an infrection in some left over tissue. After a couple of more heavy bleeds and some antibotics my levels as of last Thurs are at 50. The last bleed was like a period so I'm going to start charting now. So CD1 on 26.0.09 will just wait and see what happens.

Looking forward to sharing this special time will you - ok off to read up and see whos been lucky this month!
Love Kristy x

KristyN - :welcome: I'm so sorry for your loss. I wish you luck on your TTC journey, may it be short. :bluedust:

Theresa - Well done on fooling everyone with the non-alcoholic champagne. Glad you had a good time sweet. You have much to celebrate.

jen - Am sending all my :noaf: vibes your way. I hope you get your BFP this week.

AFM - Was greeted by AF this morning. At least she was right on time this month.

ETA - I know we haven't been TTC all that long in the scheme of things. But I'm starting to feel like getting pregnant the first time was a fluke. That the entire pregnancy was dream. It feels so long ago.

Morning everyone

Hang in there Hannah ~ your small person was real and it WILL happen again.Thinking of you.:hug:

Kristy welcome - you've come to the right place. I'm so sorry for your loss. Our's happened at Christmas too. How did your girls go with you being unwell?

AFM - something is up. Off to the doc....:doh:

Back later.

Hello ladies! I am so thrilled to see so many BFPs lately! Congratulations to all of you. Wishing you happy and stress-free pregnancies!

Erybery- I hope all the numbers are looking good! So happy for your little blessing.

Hannah- Sorry AF showed up this morning :wall: Like you said, at least it was on time. It is SO frustrating when it's late. Hope it isn't being too hard on you.

Jen- You are always so encouraging. I love reading your posts. :pray: you get your BFP next week.

Meh- I hope everything is okay!

Zachary's Mom- Can't wait to hear about your scan!! Best of luck!

Hello to everybody else! I hope everyone is doing well.

AFM- Sorry for my lurking as of late. I know I hardly ever post, but I still check this forum every day to see if any of you lovely ladies have gotten your BFPs. January was an amazing month for so many of you! I am on CD 37. My last two cycles have been 32 days. I have never been regular though, even before the m/c :wall: It is driving me crazy! I POAS two days ago and BFN. I just wish it would start if it is going to start. I am trying not to get my hopes up. I have had mild cramping for the last 6 days. I know this could be a sign of AF or pg, but I've had no other symptoms of either. I am definitely going to start temping next month so I can make a little more sense of it all. I'm hoping it will ease my stress a bit too since I will have a better idea when I O. We'll see!

Heeeelllloooo ladies,

Just wanted to say im so sorry I havent been in here very much over the last few months. I was finding it really difficult to read stories of loss as it was making me feel so fearful. Im so sorry if that sounds insensitive, I certainly have lots of sympathy and understanding about loss and Im so sorry that so many experience it, but after 3 m/c in 18 months, I just needed to get my thoughts away from m/c. Please forgive me :redface: I never stopped thinking about you all.

And thankyou so much to all the ladies who never forget to mention me in their posts...you are all so lovely to still include me.

Well, I have made it to 12wks and everything seems to be going great. Many of you probably know that my mum is a midwife. Lucky for me, she carries a doppler with her everyday for house calls, so the other night I got to hear our baby's heartbeat for the first time. It was amazing! The next day, we did it again and found it again, 170bpm...wow, the best birthday pressie I have ever had. I have now shared the news with everyone and it feels amazing...after 3 years of no success, I thought I would never get here. I have my first m/w appointment today, so im really looking forward to that.

I hope you are all well, I miss you all and this wonderful thread. All of the ladies here helped me through some very tough times and for that I will be forever grateful. You girls were my strength and my inspiration :grouphug: THANKYOU!

Issy

Hi everyone,

First of all, I wanted to thank you all for your wonderful posts. I've been reading them since my MC on xmas eve, but have only just joined. Until now, I couldn't put anything into a cohesive sentence.
I was 8 weeks (like you Kirsty) and had a D&C on Boxing day. It has been really really rough on myself and hubby as this was our first pregnancy, and was very much wanted.
The good news is that AF returned 2 days ago,-very very heavy and painful, but kind of great too. We will TTC immediately,-I keep dreaming of my son as a teenager....weird.
Again though, your stories are so comforting and uplifting, thankyou all for being brave enough to share your griefs.

clockley and Kristy :welcome: to this thread but so sorry for your losses and hoping you will both get a BFP very soon. m/c is so devastating and to have that all happen over christmas must have been especially difficult. Feel free to vent, grieve, yell, scream, cry and whatever else you need to do on this thread. You are among women who understand and are very supportive.

Issy - congratulations on getting to 12 week mark and for hearing the baby's heartbeat - how exciting and wonderful for you. Wishing your second and third trimester are enjoyable, and stress free.

hannahS - it sounds promising. :pray: you get your BFP this cycle

Meh - hope you are okay

HannahD: I am so sorry AF showed up. It will happen for you sweetie - I can just feel it. Hang in there. I understand your frustration though - the whole TTC is such an emotional rollercoaster and can be so devastating each time AF shows up. :hug: How are you surviving the heat - I am soooo over it now!

Theresa: sorry you not feeling well. Take care honey

Mannie: not cooled down here much in adelaide - 6 days of over 40 - today is forcast for 39 - and no relief in sight until the weekend I think. Hope the weather up your way is not too bad. Nice to see you back in the post.

Jen: :pray: this is the cycle for you and we can be 'fishy' :rofl: belly buddies

Ruthie: Yahoo for AF arriving at last. Praying for no more delays in seeing FS so you can have a happy healthy baby in your arms soon

:hello: megsmum, wth (how are you doing?), chappas, possums, princess, mollycat, Toccara, Mel, Polly, Indy, Acria, buliej, tempus, rach, Shortcake, meh, jackjack, RRK, erybery (hows it going belly buddy), Easha, Karen van, smi, jenushka, fifi, and all the others I have missed


AFM: Had a blood test this morning to make sure all on track (to try and calm my nerves). Fortunately everything is as it should be and hcg is 4200. I estimated it should be 3000 based on on test last monday so very happy with that. I had a bad morning yesterday stressing about misscarrying again so hopefully todays test will reassure me for a day or two. Back for another next monday. Hanging out for scan which I think will be in two and a half weeks.

hmmmm...so much for the BD marathon....sorry for TMI....one go and I have a gorgeous UTI! :wtf:

My doc is running some tests because it's so soon after the m/c just to make sure it's only a normal infection. She's good though ~ no grief about trying again, just supportive. She even suggested I should take two tablets at lunchtime to get started so I can have three today and get better quicker. Probably antibiotics (even though they're on the 'safe list') will mean this isn't our month....bummer.:(

Take care everyone.

hannahD - Im soooo sorry to hear AF arrived! I know the feeling of just waiting and waiting. Big hugs for you!

Clockley, KristyN, Samandpoppy - welcome to our group. All I can say is this group is soooo supportive and knowing that everyone understands exactly what your feeling really helps.

Jen - when are you testing, would love it if you joined out bellybellygroup.

AFM - really scared, just trying to take one day at a time and enjoy it, though very hard to do. I got an appoint 24th Feb (so I will be 7 weeks) to see my gyn/ob who will also do a scan. I will be holding my breath till then till I see a baby on the screen. But also just my luck, I find out hes probably on holidays when I am due! ahhh, will still see him though but just very annoying.

Love and hugs to you all.
