Trying to Conceive After Miscarriage/Loss July/August 2009

[Sunbeam]

Hello Ladies,

Waiting here for yet another client who is obviously not going to show as she is 1/2 hour late. Going to start confirming all clients as of this week!

Sunny- Fantastic news I'm so glad not only that the spotting stopped but that you got such great hcg numbers, very positive.

Ferrals-Gosh girl you have so much going on. I hope you are able to find some special way of celebrating Abbi tomorrow. Some time off work might be a good idea, just a few days to take care of yourself. Please don't stress about being pg because as you said if you are then it is meant to be and you will have a beautiful healthy bundle. If you are pg personally I'd take it as a sign so close to Abbi's EED.

Maddison-OMG come on bring on the BFP So hope it is your month. So hope it is all our month.

Sammy-Yes your hcg would have had to go back to zero for you to o as far as I know. Good luck with the bt results.

Coco- that is awesome news about your results.

afm- I'm 6dpo and there is a lot of weird feelings going on "down there" hoping that's a good sign. Also starving hungry most of the time so going to grab some lunch now.

Big hugs to everyone

[josh'smum]

I am 13dpo and i was playing with my maybe baby this morning and got full ferning. I cant find my instructions but that seems a little odd. Has that happened to anyone else?

Maddison- In the instruction leaflet I have with my MB it states that ferning may occur under the following scenarios: certain medications such as fertility medications, hormonal contraception (the pill), high oestrogen levels in the body (some women have naturally high levels in their bodies) and PREGNANCY. Let's hope its the last one. Let us know as soon as you test. Before this BFP my boobs were really sore and I felt very pre-menstrual. I tested 12dpo and got a BFN, then tested again 15dpo and got a BFP so

Ferals- thoughts are with you tomorrow. I hope you get through the day ok.

Coco- DH and I have had numerous arguments about housework, especially since I am no longer working (since the arrival of DS), and such I do everything but the garden. My favourite comment that he has made in retort to my complaining about not getting a thank you for spending the entire day cleaning and doing all of his ironing was that I don't thank him for going to work for the day. As you can imagine that went down like a lead balloon. We now get an ironing lady- so I guess I won that round.

Eliselouise- I'm sure you felt great after all of that excercise. I know I always do. Congrats on yet another nettie win.

Cherished- good luck with detecting o in the next couple of days.

AFM: Still feeling ok, get the occasional wave of nausea, which delights DH and myself, but not really got ms so to speak. Boobs are still sore and MASSIVE. Appt next Monday with Ob to check how things are progressing. Will update you after that.

Hi to everyone else that, can't wait for some more BFP's this month.

Cheers

Me 32 DH 38
DS 5/1/2007

Oh and the pooch (nearly 7)

[coco1411]

Hi all. I got the results back, Ill just post it here..

"Eliza has a normal intrauterine cavity. A double puncture laparoscopy was performed. There was evidence of a corus luteum cysts on the right ovary (REMEMBER?? I SAID I HAD EWCM BEFORE THE OP!! ) and a small amount of endometriosis on the uterovesical peritoneum , which was treated with bipolar diathermy. Both tubes were patent to dye."

What is the thing I put in bold? Also I have DH's sperm test...can anyone decode this for me??

Days post coital: <2
volume: 8ml
Viscosity: Moderate
Liquefacation: Complete
Non Specific Agglutination <10% <----Aye?

Motility: 70% (>50)
Rapid progressive 10% (>25)
Sluggish progressive 40%
Non progressive 20%
Immotile 30%

Sperm Count :70x10(6)/ml (20-250)

Abnormal Forms: 70% (0-70)

Semen analysis normal..

Um..I dont know what I just typed..all looks double dutch to me!!! Hope someone can shed some light for me??

[maddison]

Thank you to everyone that responded to my maybe baby question.

Coco - Good news on the results. I have no idea what all the sperm info means but it says at the bottom that its normal so Fingers crossed for another lot of ewcm for you this month!

[TinaR]

maddison: TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST!!!! I had a friend who used maybe baby and had ferning at time of RB which was actaull ya BFP..fingers crossed for you

coco: Men! ugh. I work 7 days a week and still do the food, dishes, washing etc...and then lets not forget needing to be perky and wanting to bd. Don't know what those test results mean but saw 'normal' so that has to be a good start

Ferrals: Like everyone else has said - I will be thinking of you and I am sure your precious angel will be watching over you.

Hi to all

AFM: I think I had o pain today and (thankfully) I am home and we can bd plus we will have time to bd on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'm not certain when I will o so I am hoping that if we get that much action it might work. Who else is due to test?? and who will be joining me in the tww?

[ferrals5]

Sammy-the candle idea sound's good i will do that and every year on her birthday i will also do the same my family will never forget her birthday as there is only one grandaughter( my niece jade ) and 6 grandsons and we lost abbi on jade's birthday so my mum's only grandaughters share a birthday 20th march (what a coincidence) as for you i think it's safe to say there is a bub in the oven your m/c was a few months ago and you had a normal AF so i think you can believe that little line your seeing.

Maddison-hope you get your BFP also.

Chickybabe,eliselouise,Sunbeam,-looks like we are all testing around the same time.

Sunbeam-i was worred about getting pregnant natrually but i'm not now i believe if i am it will be ok i think that getting a BFP around abbi's due date is her sending me a sign.

Josh'smum-good to hear you have some ms must make it feel real and what's the saying in this thread PORNO BOOB'S he he bet DH love them.

Coco-those result's look fine to me but i'm no expert only what i read in all the ivf info i find on the net and the result's for the endo look good to.

Well ive cried only once today while DH wasn't looking i dont know what i should be feeling i'm sort of numb can i just go to sleep tonight and when i wake up tomorrow it will have all been a terrible nightmare and i will roll over and there she will be in her bassinette safe and sound.

[eliselouise]

ohh ferals hunny that must be so hard i wish we could all just go to sleep and wake up after this terrible nightmare. If you do get a bfp this month :fingers crossed: you do, i think it is definately a sign from abbi being so close to her edd. Hope your day goes ok today and you do whateva you and the family need to grieve and help to heal Maddison hopefully the ferning is a sign of a bfp for you that would be awesome :fingers crossed: for you and let us know when you test. Coco those test results sound positive no idea what the sperm results mean though but they do say normal so thats a good sign. Tina i too am in the tww but at the moment so due to test maybe this time next week if i can hold off that long. Have no symptoms as such at the moment but i think it would be way too early anyway. Hopefully we both get lovely bfps this month. And the other girls who are testing do to. That would be just great! Joshsmum yay for ms and nausea, gotta love it! And even bigger yay for PORNO BOOBS thats hillarious i bet dh is loving it! Sunbeam that is sounding very positive about all the strange feelings down there, we are around about the same dpo so hopefully we can both get our bfps this month and have h&h pg together. Kyra how are you going with the tww havent heard from you in a while and hopefully everything is going well for you. AFM not really much to report 5dpo but not really feeling much difference at all in my body so hopefully its just to early. Trying very hard not too think about it too much and am just "going with the flow" and "whatever happens, happens" as everyone keeps telling me. Get to see my 4 month old nephew today and he is just so cute. Think i better have lots of snuggles from him today. Better get going and ill talk to you all later. Bye

[maddison]

Ferrals -

I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today.
I asked what makes a Mother
And I know I heard him say...

A mother has a baby
This we know is true.
But, God, can you be a mother
when your baby is not with you?

Yes, you can He replied,
With confidence in His voice.
I give many women babies
When they leave is not their choice.

Some I send for a lifetime,
And others just for a day.
And some I send to feel your womb,
But there's no need to stay.

I just don't understand this God,
I want my baby here.
He took a breath and cleared His throat
And then I saw a tear.

I wish I could show you
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child smile
With other children and say:

"We go to earth to learn our lessons
Of love and life and fear.
My mommy loved me oh so much
I got to come straight here.

I feel so lucky to have a mom
Who has so much love for me.
I learned my lessons very quickly,
My mommy set me free.

I miss my mommy Oh so much,
But I visit every day.
When she goes to sleep
On her pillow is where I lay.

I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek
And I whisper in her ear.
Mommy don't be sad today,
I'm your baby and I'm here."

So, you see my dear sweet one,
Your children are not blue.
Your babies are here in MY home,
They'll be at Heaven's gate waiting for you.

So now you see what makes a mother,
It's the feeling in your heart.
It's the love you had so much of,
Right from the very start.

Though some on earth may not realize you are a mother,
Until their time is done.
They'll be up here with Me one day,
And they'll know you were the best one!

[Anila]

Ferrals, thinking of you during this emotion time and sending all my love and support to you and your family.

[ferrals5]

Maddison-That was so lovely i balled my eye's out thankyou so much the only thing positive that has come from this whole situation is that i got to meet all of you.

Anila- thankyou! what would i do without you all.

DH and i are going to go out and find a special candle that we will light for abbi every year on this day and her birthday i will pop back in here tonight (god this is harder than i thought it would be)

[coco1411]

Ferrals wishing you all the best and hope you're feeling better hon xxxxx

Maddison: Did you test today? How did you go?

Goodluck for everyone in the !! Looks like Ill be there myself tomorrow!

So..for those of you not on my facebook...I drove to lithgow last night to surprise DH because I have had positive OPKS. I had a close to positive yesterday and 2 positive on the digital one today..I took a pic..Im so damn excited! I have also had 2 days EWCM. Not a clump like last month but free flowing goo hehehe.

We possibly had the best session in a long time last night. I even fed him beer and proped him up on the pillows so he could see tv hahahahaha he didnt complain


Here is my positive opk Im so excited because it seems everything is back to normal now and my gobbly stuff is like text book Although uncomfortable, I reccommend having the lap done to whoever needs it!!!!
http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m...08-09_1128.jpg

I dont know if Im ovulating today or whether I will tomorrow because I had the pains yesterday and last night and today my temp was quite high. !!

[maddison]

Coco - Woo hoo on the positive OPK! And the late night bootie call drive. I bet dh loved the surprise!
No need for testing. AF arrived this morning, right on schedule. I am considering going to see the dr about getting referred for some testing soon. Its been 12 months now since we started trying and its either that or give up cos im getting sick of being disappointed.

[coco1411]

ETA

I forgot!!! On the way down to Lithgow I was sitting behind a number plate. I havent seen one in ages!
(Disclaimer...I have a crazy thing for seeing bfn & bfp number plates...I also have incorporated bbt and dpo into the repotoir...)

And also, on the way home I went past a sign that said "Madison" on it Gotta be a good sign!!! And I just updated my chart and it is the best thing I have ever seen since charting! Better than when i got the bfp last time! Thats 3 good omens this cycle. The dream, the number plate and the sign!

[Jahzara]

Coco - thats awesome ! hehehe - the things we do for some baby making loving !
I really hope the 3 omens are just that - a great sign of things to come.

Maddison - dont give up sweets ! Yes, go and see someone. At least then you will know whats going on. Sorry AF showed up
Beautiful poem for Ferrals !

Ferrals -

Anila - How are you ? I saw that you have been having a really hard time

EliseLouise - i am 6dpo today so we could be test buddies ! Good luck ! I am going nuts with this TWW - seems to really be getting to me this month.

[India's Mum]

Ferrals - Thinking about you today. I have a candle lit for Abbi next to me. I wanted you to know that she touched other lives.

Coco - Hopefully the next pic you put up will be your BFP

Maddison - I really thought this might be your month. Make an appointment and go and see someone. Don't give up. At least seeing someone will make you feel as if you are doing something towards obtaining that dream.

AFM - Blood test confirmed the pregnancy! The level last Friday was low though at 46 IU/L. The doctor said I am very early, as little as three weeks. By my calculations I should be about five weeks but he said not to worry too much about early results. When I said I had recently lost a baby he said to come back in a couple of weeks and have another test to see what the levels were then. He said it was more to reassure me until I had my OB appointment as he thought things were most likely fine. He said they are not overly concerned if levels are a bit low, only if they drop.

[maddison]

Sammy - Awesome news! Doesnt it feel so much more real when the dr confirms it. I agree that you shouldnt worry about the level. That explains the faint line and its just going to get darker and darker now.

How cool is it... YOUR PREGNANT!!!!!

[Jahzara]

Yay Sammy - Congratulations !

Its a great feeling isnt it...

xo

[Anila]

oh sammy thats great news, congrats again hun.

Anila - How are you ? I saw that you have been having a really hard time

chickybabe, im ok, feeling heaps better, i decided that i cant change the outcome of what happened, and i have to keep going, i know xmas eve will be hard for me, although i will be surrounded by family from sa and my family, i probably will be the only one remembering that my lil bundle was due on that day.
I dont know if i ever mentioned that our bundle was nicknamed Omlette, hubby and i made a joke about mixing eggs and sperm and stiring it all about, and making our own personal omlette, and the name just stuck, even the kids will say i thought about omlette today when i looked at the stars, i told them that when a star twinkles while they are looking at it, then its probably omlette saying hello. Any way i bought my eldest and my hubby rings from squidipas store, i got Grace a liltle heart ring, and i got my hubby a rememberence foot print ring. Its for them to remeber omlette as i have had my way to remember tattooed on my back.

anyway a candle sounds lovely ferrals.

coco u know how i feel, good luck hun

hubbys home will do more later
