    Jen -

    dellydoo - Yay for your Dh coming home! Mine used to travels heaps for work and I hated it. I hope the TWW is a sign for you!

    Krystie - Yay for the little heartbeat! I used to love hearing DD's when I was pg - a lovely sound...

    Easha - LOL at your devil water!!! Sounds gross, but I hope it works!

    Mannie - Glad to hear the ob appt went well

    Emma - So sorry you are struggling I won't say that you'll ever forget that day and the ultrasound because I know I'll never forget mine and the look on my obs face But I promise you that it does get easier to deal with as time goes by and one day you'll be able to think of it and just feel a little bit sad instead of totally shattered. Big

    Jen - looks like i'm safe, no phone calls and she's back at the scheme office having a meeting. Just left over there, had the kids at playgroup, and thankfully she never came out to see us. Apparently she came out yesterday and pulled them up on handwashing between handling different childrens foods and the garbage - we've yet to work out how to wash our hands, put the hand towel (we're only allowed paper) in the bin without touching the bin (or do we have to wash our hands again).

    So girls are we "chatting" tonight. I'll try to stay awake long enough

    Hello to everyone. to share around.

    Hi lovely ladies - just a quick one from me as I am on my way to a nap

    I had my first scan this morning and saw tiny little bean snuggled in tight with a heart beat of 130 bpm

    Bub measured a day or so behind but not enough to change the edd according to the scan lady...

    Very happy, but I've got a little way to go before I will properly breathe out - another scan in 3 weeks, then the NT scan booked for 12 Dec

    BBL for persies...

    Love, and for all ...

    xx

    Ok.... just got back on here.. LOL Sorry to have kept you all waiting.. I was super busy cleaning today...
    So I POASed and I got another ghost line (super super faint again).. craaaaazy.. but almost right now I wiped and saw some..well... not blood ..but like dark red/yellow CM.. am really hoping it's AF..really.. just in case I'm POASing next week again. (because this is exactly how it started with my angel bubba)

    I just hope it's AF coming really..
    ok more HI GOOD NEWS ...
    Hubbys Health insurance covers FERTILITY MEDS AND..yes you read right.. AND IN VITRO 100%!!!!!!!!!!!

    I know I won't need IVF cuz I have responded to the regular fertility meds super well.. but just in case it's good to know cuz God ivf is SUPER expensive and if it were our only resort to have a baby I was really doomed. (We can't afford ivf) but now that the HI covers that it's a HUGE relief!!!

    So will be POASing till next week again.. I just don't want to go nuts like I did with my angel bubba and POASed with like 5 tests at a time.. ( a real waste) so I only bought one.. since I'm still seeing super faint lines I feel like if no AF I should wait one week and test again.

    I did hear though that ovarian cysts can give you a false + HPT.. since I have PCOS I'm pretty sure that could be the case???

    Thank you all for your support.. this is the first time I'm indifferent to a BFN or faint lines.. I have put behind me so much pain.. it's just .. I really want to see this doc and just see what his plan will be..(and if it will work)
    I will feel more confident and less scared knowing he will be giving me meds and all that stuff.


    Indy: Thank you hun. Please know you have a friend in me

    tut: HUGEE HUG going your way and

    Possums: I would have been 18 weeks 2 days today (sad)

    Mannie: Glad your bubba is ok. About the prog. I disagree with your doc.. my baby (ies) would have been fins.. my prog. levels dropped because of my hormonal disorder due to PCOs.. so in a way he could be right.. but in my specific case he is wrong.. I had a prog. shot with my son if it weren't for that he too would have been an angel baby... ya know? I didn;t get the prog. shot with my other 3 babies.. so I KNOW it had something to do.. (among the other like insulin resistance)
    Always wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy!

    Easha : Hi momma!! ♥

    Krystielove Jenushka & fifi: YAAYYY on the heartbeat!! Wishing you a H&H 9 months and baby!

    dellydoo, smi, Plc, Jen Thank you for your support

    Mollycat: Hi ♥

    Ok Mommas.. I'm out to sleep now.. it's almost midnight here in New Jersey....and I'm super BEAT! Nite Nite for those on this side of the globe??.. and Good Day for those on the other side..

    well have had red streaking with my CM today all day and slight cramping (which I thought could be my intolerence to lactose and gluten since I had an overdose of those foods last night and this morning) however I think this bub may not be sticking and could end up a chemical pregnancy boohoo, I'm trying to stay positive but I think I will get AF this weekend and have to begin this whole process again next month. My sister says to just stay strong and listen to what the doc told me, but can't help but worry given what happened to me in August...Im sure you all understand, but am resigned to the fact I'm losing this one too. So not fair....will let you know how I go over the weekend and what the blood test results are.

    Mannie: Stay strong hon. Just remember that bleeding can occur in the first trimester and be perfectly normal. Just look after yourself and your bub and remember we're all here for you!

    Mannie, stay strong and try to remain positive (I know it is hard). My best friend had really bad cramping with her 2nd baby and everything was fine. I have read on every website (and I've read a few) that spotting can be completely normal as well. I know you probably know all of these facts but it is hard to remind yourself of them when you are so scared.

    It's horrible to be going through this though as when it has happened before it is natural to think the worst.

    I will for you and am sending you heaps of

    Make sure you take it easy and get plenty of rest.

    thankyou ladies, I'm just so worried and scared and I know I have to stay strong, I just picked up my blood tests and they are low but its positive 26 u/l which is greater then 2. I'm 18 dpo but I'm 5 weeks according to the doctor so this is low which only makes me think m/c again. I should be between 40 and 2000 at week 4, week 5 they have written down between 400 and 10000! I thought this time would be different, and friends and family told me last time that its common to m/c with your first at my age, so was really hoping this one would stick. I haven't given up all hope yet, will see how I go over the weekend and next week. Even my progesterone is low so not good can only see this going one way again...don't know what I'd do without your support ladies. Thankyou x

    Mannie: Stay strong hun... whatever happens (always praying for the best) We are all here for you.
    I am praying for you. I don't want to be the only one telling you to take courage on whatever news you get...
    based on my experiences.. unfortunately.. there was nothing I could have done to save my babies. once a m/c starts there is no stopping to it. I'm sorry I might be the only one telling you this.. but please stay strong.
    I am praying for you and your bubba... I am here for you.
    please keep us posted on how you do. ♥


    As for me.. looks like AF is FINALLY here!! Last night I wiped and still that "colored" CM.. today in the AM def spotting.. pink/red but not full throttle.. so am waiting for that "full throttle"..please send AF vibes my way.
    I am hoping it lasts a few days and not 3 months like last year around this time.
    ssooooo that means that not this cycle..but the one the follows this one I might TTC again with the specialist.
    I was told to wait two cycles before trying again and am happy I'm not preggo now.

    Today is FINALLY Friday..so just wanted to send you all "Happy Friday and weekend" thoughts.!!


    Mannie Green is the color of hope.... This is for you dear.
