Hi ladies
Cherished how are you? hope you are feeling as good as you can be right now
Smallfry your symptoms sound excellent- for you Monday, man you are strong, I would have tested ages ago lol
Sorry to everyone with BFNs when is it going to be our turn again? I just want more good news in here, not just for hope for me but cos you guys deserve it!
Hi girls, my name is Cat,
found this website today and have had a little read, thaught it would be nice to join instead of going bananas on my own.....My Husband and I have been trying to have a babe for 3 1/2yrs, submitted to the fact of trying IUI and all of a sudden fell pregnant b/f treatment. We misscarried at 7 half wks in March and broke our hearts. Feel ok until im due for my period,I get all nervous...then dissapointed when I start bleeding.
Have a 33day cycle and am on day 22, just ovulated.
Sorry I gotta learn all the abreviations!!!
Anyway just wanted to pop in and say hello.
Thank you to everyone sharing their stories, even the dissapointing ones give hope to readers like me. I know now im not alone.
Hi Cat and welcome to BB . I'm so sorry about your loss You're right that sharing with others who understand lightens the load a little, and helps us to feel less alone. I hope that your get your BFP (Big Fat Positive pregnancy test ) very soon! And we'll be here to support you while you're trying, and once you are pregnant
sorry... this just has to be all about me this morning. Last night my sis and DH ganged up on me and told me I had to test this morning... (sis spends most weekends with us). Sooooo... this morning I tested and it's faint but..... I'm so excited but it's only 6:33 am and I can't wake everyone cos we had a late night last night! WOOHOO!!! And this one is already making me feel rather crook so I'm quite sure it is a keeper
I hope so much to see more action in here over coming days
Smallfry-WOOHOO!!!! we all knew you would be i am so happy for you and i think it's a sticky one if you feel so sick so now you can relax and enjoy the rest of the pregnancy but don't leave us girl's still trying.
Cat-welcome to BB i'm sorry for your loss and i hope we can be of some help through your TTC journey.
I had a dream last night we were pregnant again and i was in the hospital to get my cvs results they were positive for SLO i fainted and DH picked me up then my dream went on to us doing the PGD IVF i asked for two embies to be put in to give us a better chance than my dream went to me standing in my front yard watching DH yelling at my boys for breaking the whipper snipper and i was holding a blonde baby boy in my arm's i wonder if i'm seeing my future.
I also wanted everyone's opinion if you dont mind if you were in my situation and could concieve naturally would you take the risk of the next baby being affected with SLO or would you just go straight to PGD IVF and know for sure that the embie was not affected with it but the chance of concieving is like only 40% and it's 12,000 per cycle regardless if you get pregnant or not (medicare cover 80% at the moment) but your still out of pocket 5,000 + i have just been thinking about it i would love to get pregnant natrually but terminating at 13 weeks if the baby is affected is playing on my mind i would love your opinion and don't be afraid to be honest with me i will not judge anyone on their replies i just want some outside imput on what others would do
Smallfryplus - CONGRATULATIONS..... Im so glad you were pressured into testing but you already knew that test was going to be positive. I am so so happy for you and your family. Wishing you the healthiest and happiest pregnancy. You give us all hope that we might be next and its an amazing feeling. Bring on the morning sickness!
congrats Smallfryplus!! Knew it already but so beautiful to see that BFP!!
Welcome to CatKat! Hope you enjoy your time with us and that you're not here for too long
AFM: Very selfish I know. Just waiting for RB (Rat Bastard!) to show her ugly mug! BFN again, just stoopid me testing, but hey im clinging to that 1% chance of a BFP! crazy!
Have a good weekend, im at work then have to write a merit selction criteria for a challenging and hard to teach school. Oh the blimin' joys!
wooot wooooooo SmallFry!!! I looooove to see news of a May this pregnancy be looong and sticky!!!!! Congratulations my love...
Ferrals: It's a hard one darling woman and a very personal decision. You did ask specifically what I would do. I think I would ttc and pray that your little one is healthy. However, I am not you and it's such a personal thing. I am thinking of you as you make this decision - just know you are supported and loved in here whatever your decision - we are here for you...
Congratulations Smallfry! Fantastic news about your ! Here's hoping that the rest of us aren't far behind!
Welcome Cat - I have only just started posting on here too and think that I have just ovulated for the first time since my second miscarriage last month. Fingers crossed our tww is successful.
I've been MIA for a few days so lots to catch up on.
Smallfry - What great news!! CONGRATS!!! I am so happy for you, and it also gives me so much hope (so thanks).
Welcome CatKat so sorry to hear about the loss of you bubs, I hope your stay is short and you get a BFP very soon!!! Then we can all celebrate with you!
Ferrals Through blury eyes i read the outcome of you appointment you are being so strong. A 75% chance of a healthy bub is high, the odds are in your favour. As far as what I would do in your position, it is so hard to say. You have been through so much, and i think only you can know if you are strong enough to face the 3 month wait before they can test. Such a hard decision... wishing you all the best.
Congratulations Smallfry!!! YAY!!!! sending super sticky vibes, and I hope you keep on hurling for a good few weeks yet! (I mean that in the nicest possible way - LOL). Seriously though, the nausea so early has to be a good sign, so YAY for you!
Hi Cat, and welcome. Sorry you had to be here, but the ladies here are great.
Ferrals, that is a difficult decision. And as flowerchild said, a very personal one. But as you did ask, I will give my 2 cents worth.
I would try naturally. You have a 75% chance that all will be OK, so I think it would be worth it. Even if you do go down the IVF path, it doesn't always succeed as you know. If you had no luck conceiving naturally, or if you were to conceive and then have problems, then I would try the IVF - only then.
The other thing to consider is the cost. And for me, if I *knew* it would work, and it was guaranteed, then I would do it, but there is no guarantee, and you could be spending alot of money that could otherwise help your children in other ways.
I know that the decsion to terminate is a difficult one, one of the hardest that you will ever have to make. But support is out there, and you will not be judged by anyone with an ounce of compassion. There is the termination support group here on these boards, and you may be able to discuss your concerns with some of the ladies who have been through it.
Anyway, I have gone on too long, I just meant to say that 75% is still good odds in my book - the glass is way more than half full.
Sorry to all those who didn't get their BFP this month.
AFM - it's "O" day, so still got a little bit more egg chatching to do yet!
Hi everyone,
I have been reading through the messages on this forum and have found it very helpful and comforting as i to have had a miscarriage this previous week. I dont know exactly when it happened but i started bleeding last saturday, not very heavily, but it was not easing up. I had blood test done on tuesday and U/S booked for wednesday but when i went to the drs she looked at my blood results and said we didnt need to do the ultrasound, the bloods confirmed the worst
Anyway im not too sure whether it has passed or not and not really sure how long i am likely to still bleed for, but mit is all very confusing and confronting.
I am wondering if anyone can tell me how long after a m/c it is safe to start trying to conceive again??
Finding out i was pg was so exciting and i want that feeling back but also i am very scared that this may happren again if i get pg too soon after.
Cherished hunny i hope you are doing ok, and thankyou so much for telling me about this forum it has helped quite a lot.
Anyway better get going have to get ready for a bday dinner tonight which im looking forward to catching up with everyone and to take my mind off things.
Talk soon and take care everyone
ELise Louise - I am so sorry sweetheart and I know someone here will be able to help - I am TTC with ICSI so I just do what the Dr tells me. I hope you get that pg feeling back again and a healthy baby in your arms one day - it is what we are all striving for here. I know it is confusing and frightening right now and you have a million Whys? in your head but know that all of us here understand and are here to help.
much love
Delly
Thanks for the opinions ladies it all help's
I feel i'm leaning toward's trying natrually for a few month's and we will see what happen's as for the IVF that is an option that we will consider when the doctor's say so they said try natrually first.
I need to have a winge!!!
I had a remark said to me about as i already have children i shouldn't consider either option I just want everyone to know my 3 boy's are involved in this as is the rest of my family and we have talked to them as they are now 16 turning 14 and turning 12 and if i for a second thought that it was affecting them or they said they don't want me to do this i would not and i would never let my boy's go without for our quest for a baby i know people say but you already have kid's be happy with what you have i met the love of my life and it's somthing that we really have our heart's set on and i don't think it matters how many children you have or dont have it is still heart breaking to lose a baby and it upset me then i started to question myself should i do this is it fair and my answer was yes it is my life and life is to short to listen to negative comment's so i am not going to mention my baby dreams to anyone but you girls and my family from now on.
I am so sorry to go on and on i am just annoyed that it is alright for skanky drug addicted dole bluggers to breed but a working mum of 3 in love and able to afford a baby get's judged ggrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Coco - I cried reading your post - and totally got ferrals response, there is no rhyme or reason to this journey, no right or wrong only hope, hope and more hope - I am sending you some sunshine honey, I pray you get it.
AFM - dodging study as usual - I am studying psychology and have retgurned to Uni as an undergrad (I keep thinking I am an undergran)
Much love
Delly
