I hope you are all keeping well and I can't wait to see more BFP's soon
erybery - here's hoping
Chappas and Meh - Hi Hope you are both fighting fit!!!
AFM Had my first OB appointment today. I have to have a bunch of blood tests and I am having to monitor my blood sugars 7 times a day. My fingers feel like pin cushions I have also been put onto 100mg of Aspirin a day.
He tried to do an ultrasound but we just saw a small spot (I am only 6 weeks tomorrow so he said we might not see much). I have an ultrasound booked for the 9th Feb and another appointment on the 18th Feb with both OB and Diabetic specilaist (now referred to as DiabSpec) Hahaha
Still have my sore throat and am feeling tired but I am pretty good considering!
Just thought I would let everyone know how I went.
Thinking of you all and sending the BFP vibes your way xxxx
Hi girlies.. sorry for lack of persies.. I saw a BFP for Karen.. CONGRATS MAMA!!Wishing you the very best & a H&H 9 months and baby!!!
Thank you for those who have had me in mind ♥
I'm going to be a lurker for now... nothing new on my side.. My weekend was quiet and this week has started quiet too..lol
just waiting on the HI cards to finally arrive so I can make an appointment with the FS.
I'm anxious and scared.. I have 2 nights straight dreaming I'm pregnant and delivering a baby girl..maybe it's a good sign??.. I seem to dream I'm pregnant before I get pregnant??..Does that make any sense?..Well with Erick I did.. and with my last Angel baby I did too.. so I hope it's a good sign.
But... I bumped into a pregnancy ticker I forgot to remove on my blog and it says I would have been 29 weeks 6 days today.......blah. I couldn't help but google 30 week fetal development and bawling my eyes out...again .. I know my time will come.. I can't stay stuck on these emotions.. but why is it like a roller coaster.. some days I'm super happy and "perky"..and once something..anything reminds me of my pregnancy.. I get super low and depressed. UUGHH
I'm rambling.. sorry.
I'm ok though.. I always find it good to have a good cry. I feel renewed after wards. but can't help bu ask why on earth does this STILL hurt so much???? I kinda want to shake it all off.. and just move on.. it's easier said than done. But I'll be ok.
Leaving for those preggers...
for my TTC friends..
and a HUGE for all my girlies here!!! I will be on.. but not posting much.
Till I have something new to say anyways... ♥
Luv y'all.
Ruthie
HannahD--Hope your dr's appt. went well and you got some answers/advice! Know that I'm thinking of you!
jackjack--Sorry to hear about your pinched nerve. That's happened to me in the past due to a bulging disc I have in my lower back... when it pinches the nerve my whole left side goes numb, from my hip, outer thigh, all the way down my leg into my foot! Hope you figure out what's wrong and feel better soon! *hugs*
Karen van & chappas-- for you both!
Theresa--So happy to hear your OB appt. went well! Sending some your way!
smi--Work on Martin Luther King Jr. day? That's pretty cr@ppy! How were you not one of the fortunate ones that got that day off? Hope you're feeling well! Bucket loads of for you!!
meh--You sound excited to be going back to work on Fri! Hope all goes well... sounds like you'll be a busy little bee... should be helpful in keeping your mind distracted! Here's hoping AF and her nasty stays far, far away!!
erybery--Hope your TWW flies by!
Shortcake--I agree with Mel... a lot can happen in 3 days... do you have another HPT so you can give it another go? Sending some no AF vibes!!
Ruthie, fifi, & WTH-- and big *hugs*
Big for everyone else not mentioned! You're all always on my mind and in my heart and prayers!!
Hi everyone, Thanks to all the girls who have posted well wishes for me. The ct scans came back clear so no probs in my back but still in a lot of pain so don't know why. Am seeing a neurologist on tuesday afternoon so should know more then i hope. I'm also getting alot of migraines too not sure if this is connected to my nerve problem off work today because of it, so this will be shortish as the computer screen is making it worse.
I just really wanted to get on to say a big hello to everyone and congrats to all the ladies i may have missed over the past couple of days. Good luck to everybody else for some positive results.
On the baby front my hubby and I have just started being able to 'play' again after over 8 weeks of me bleeding and blood clots and then the op, I'm just so scared that we will fall pregnant agin and whilst that would be great I'm really scared that it would only end in another loss, and with no answers I guess that is highly possible..
Don't mean to be negative and drag on... and i said short, HA!
Hi again just wanted to thank the girls that helped me to figure out how to do my signature, finally tried it out and just wanted to test it out.. Thanks again!!
jackjack--Glad to hear the CT scans came back clear, but sorry to hear you're still in pain! Hope the neurologist can help! Enjoy your "play" time with DH Yay on the ticker! I was strangely excited when I finally figured out how to make mine! (Probably not too surprising after my excitement over my colors and my quick response box being back! )
Hi girls. Sorry for lack of persies, but I just wanted to thank everyone for thinking of me.
Well, I went to the doctor yesterday and she agreed that by now (6 months after m/c) I shouldn't be in a depressed mood for 4 weeks straight. I filled out a questionnaire which told her my depression is severe. She wants me to start meds as well as 'talking therapy'.
I went back this morning with DH after having a night to think about what I wanted to do. I'm not keen on starting meds while TTC. She recommended sertraline (Zoloft) which is supposed to be perfectly safe while pregnant and after a quick literature search, I couldn't find any evidence to the contrary. But, I'm still not keen on starting medication at this point. Especially now I'm in the TWW. I'm happy to start therapy though and my GP managed to get me in to see a psychologist on 2nd of Feb (not bad considering the waiting time is usually 4 weeks). I'm also back to the GP next week just to see how things are going.
Hannah - Big Hugs. I personally wouldn't want to take meds yet either as that will make ttc all the more challenging and that might mean extra anxiety. I hope the psych works for you. I think it's a positive thing that you don't want the meds and it shows you are quite strong so I'm sure things will start looking up for you soon.
Hey Hannah--Zoloft is one of the meds that I tried after my first 3 m/c's. Like you, I have suffered from depression since I was a teen, but it wasn't until after my m/c's that it got really bad. For me, I think it both helped and hindered me... not sure if that makes any sense at all... I remember it gave me severe dry mouth and made it hard to sleep at night, and just didn't make me feel like myself. Which I guess is the point, but it almost makes you.... I don't know, numb... or in a daze or something... I'm sorry, I don't really know how to explain it. Boy, I'm not much of a helper, am I? Meds affect everyone differently, so it's truly a personal decision... I just wanted to share my experience with it, please don't let it affect your decision to do what you think is right for you. I don't blame you for not wanting to take meds while you're TTC... it's a tough decision, and I wish you the best of luck with whatever you decide! I'll still be here to you on no matter what!
AJC! How's Samuel doing? I'll bet he's a little charmer and has you wrapped around his finger, eh? Big for you both!
Forgot to mention that I have a dr's apt. tomorrow. I called today, and they were able to squeeze me in! I'm overdue for a pap anyhow, so not sure if he's going to do that tomorrow or not, but I'll at least get to talk to him about getting some BT's done... going to see if he'll check my hormones and my thyroid at the very least. I've had abnormal paps in the past, and had to have a colposcopy twice, where they remove the bad cells, then my paps go back to normal... anyhow not sure if than might somehow affect TTC or not, but it's definitely worth asking. I also found out that endocrinologists have been trying to change what is the normal range for a thyroid--they're saying that what used to be considered normal, could now be too high to sustain a pg'cy--and that what used to be considered as low, is the range to shoot for if you're TTC! So maybe that has something to do with my probs! Would love to find something out--anything--just to have an answer and a plan of action. So I'll keep you posted.
Theresa - Goodluck with your upcoming appointments.
smi - How are your protein levels?
meh - Hope all goes well when you return to work.
erybery - Goodluck with saturday's BT. and eggie was released and you caught it!
shortcake - I agree with Mel and jen. Remember, HCG levels can roughly double every 48 hrs.
jackjack - I hope the neurologists can find some answers so you can feel better soon.
AJC - Thanks. And how are you and Master Samuel doing? Big to you both.
jen - Thanks. I do get what you mean. It doesn't sound much different to how I feel now. I think I will see how the therapy goes and learn some coping strategies. Depression while pregnant has its own risks, so I guess I'll have to see how things go and weigh up the risks either way when the time comes. Goodluck with your doctor's appointment tomorrow. I really hope you can get some answers soon.
Karen & chappas -
to fifi, WTH, babymiracles, Mel and anyone I have not mentioned (my brain really doesn't want to work today).
jen - Good luck at the doc tomorrow. I hope everything is ok but at least if they do some tests and they do pick up something you can treat it. I've had an abnormal pap once too (abnormal cells) but am ok now. Big Hugs for you.
Thanks, Sam is doing great, he's the centre of our universe. Starting to get more alert now and he's weight gain is awesome (cause he loves his boobie feeds so much). I just can't imagine life without him - every day I thank my lucky stars cause I feel so blessed to have him.
Big Hugs for everyone - looking forward to seeing lots more BFP's and 2009/10 babies.
Hello ladies! Update... POAS this morning and still a BFN. I am very down in the dumps. The worst part is I'm not sure what is going on. Hopefully I get some answers soon as I am now 9 days late.
Zachary's Mom- I hope your feeling beter and good luck at your next appointment.
Ruthie- I hope things start looking up for you. that you get your BFP soon.
JackJack- I hope the neurologist can provide some answers for you. Sending lots of your way!
HannahD- I hope the "talking therapy" helps. I know that talking about things really helps me.
Jen- Good luck at the Dr. Hopefully all goes well.
Meh - Glad that you are feeling like you can face the world again.
Wth - Thankyou.
Theresa + Karen van - Hope you are both doing well.
Ruthie - for you
Jen - Hope everything goes well at the doctors
Jack jack - Glad your scan came back clear, Understandable that you feel scared
Hannahd - I too have suffered from depression since age 13 have been on meds off and on for years. Agree with Jen everyone deals with it differently do what you feel is best for you.
Shortcake - Sorry about bfn, maybe if no sign of af you could get bt done
AFM - Went for doctors app yesterday she has informed the prof at hospital and may need to go on low dose aspirin because of preeclampsia when pregnant with DD.
Feeling bit sad at moment friend called me yesterday to tell me her 15wk scan went badly and her baby had passed at 10wks. We had just been together on sat when i told her i was pg again.
Not too sure what's going on with my cycle this month.... I always O on CD12--and according to FF I'm 2DPO, but you wouldn't know it by looking at my temps! I still don't even have my coverline yet--which is highly unusual for me. Have lots of O signs... even my bb's are extremely sore, which never happens--not even when AF comes around, so I have no idea what my body is up to! Grrr! So frustrating! Hopefully my BT's will give me some answers!
HannahD--Hope the therapy helps and you learn some coping strategies... maybe you could teach us some of those new-found coping strategies! I bet just talking about it with someone will be a huge benefit!
AJC, Shortcake (sorry to hear about your BFN ), & chappas--Thanks for the well wishes for my dr's appt!! chappas, I'm so very sorry to hear about your friend's loss.... she's lucky to have someone around who understands exactly what she's going thru. I'm sure she'll be needing your support! from me!
No word yet on the protein levels...just completed and returned the speciman to the lab yesterday morning...so hopefully soon. I have been taking BP and it has been normal all week...that's a plus!
HannahD...BIG HUG for you! You are in my thoughts and prayers
jen...I sure hope the doc has some answers for you...I have had abnoraml paps before as well and had to have LEEP done once.
What's a LEEP smi? Glad to hear your BP has been normal! Good luck on the protein levels, too!
Hey fi! I'm planning on being up to chat with everyone... may miss the other girls due to the rotten time change, but I'll see you for sure since our time diff. isn't as huge! 8 hours is a lot closer than 17 hours!! Hey, how did you get that little MSN guy under your mood indicator? Do you know if they have one for facebook, too? and lots & lots of for you! *kiss*
I have also been put onto 100mg of Aspirin a day.
..blah. I couldn't help but google 30 week fetal development and bawling my eyes out...again
.. I know my time will come.. I can't stay stuck on these emotions.. but why is it like a roller coaster.. some days I'm super happy and "perky"..and once something..anything reminds me of my pregnancy.. I get super low and depressed. UUGHH
