    Hey Gurlies..I too am guilty of lurking and not posting...

    I check in on all of you daily...so even if you don't see me I have more than likely seen you *wink*

    I had a terrible sore throat on Tuesday...that was it...no cold no ill feeling just a horrible sore throat it was just a tad sore yesterday and today nothing...thank goodness it didn't turn into a full blown cold or something! I just hate feeling ill (unless it would be morning sickness...at this point I think I'd LOVE it!)

    jen... we ...few more days will tell...

    Hi everyone.
    Just wondering if i can join this thread. Here's a little about me.....
    I had my 1st m/c at the start of oct 08. I was about 5-6 weeks. I'd only found out i was pregnant 4 days before. To cut a long story short, i had heavy bleeding and clotting so my gyno put me in for surgery and i had a d&c and laproscopy. Its been 4 weeks since it all happened and physically i'm feeling alot better but emotionally i think its really sinking in what happened coz at the time i kept saying to everyone yes i'm fine putting on a brave face when i dont think i was.
    Some good came out of it as 2 weeks later my man proposed to me, so we are now engaged!!!
    We do want to ttc again soon as we'd love Zac to have a sibling soon but i dont know whats happening with my body as far as AF goes.

    Looking forward to getting to know u all

    Princess. I think I can speak on behalf of all the girls here (and they are all wonderful) in saying, "we are sorry you have to be here". You will find a lot of support and understanding on this thread. You mentioned your AF - has it returned yet? I think the general rule is AF comes 4 to 6 weeks after your D&C. Congratulations on your engagement and I wish you the best of luck in creating a sibling for Zac.

    Princess85 . Sorry that you've had to join us, but you've found a great group of supportive women. Congratulations on your engagement. Hope your stay here is a short one and it won't be long before Zac gets a little brother or sister.

    princess 85, I only just joined here a couple of days ago after my second mc and I must say that it has been a great help to me. The girls on here are fantastic and supportive and because we're all going through similar stuff they know how to hit the nail on the head, unlike, unfortunately my very supportive husband (I love him to death, but he has no idea).
    with AF, hope it comes soon and you and your new husband to be can make a sticky bub.

    Thank you everyone for the warm welcomes. It's good to be able to talk to people that have had similar experiences as i have no one else to talk to. None of my friends or family know exactly what it feels like they can only imagine.
    AF hasn't returned. I've never been regular even when i was on the pill. I go back my gyno at the end of the month which will be be my check up 6 weeks after d&c.

    Dutchy- i know how u feel my DP tried to be supportive but like urs has no idea. He says i'm here if u wanna talk but he doesn't understand or know what to say. But i gotta give him points for trying.

    Hi All,

    Just wanted to pop in and say hi !!!

    Have been super busy but have been lurking every now and then.

    Any BFP's ?????

    Acupuncture and devil water seem to be going ok although DH said yesterday he was putting his foot down and refused to drink his cup last night.

    AF is due any day now.... who knows what going to happen - DH really hoping for a BFP so he does not have to keep drinking to devil water.

    Thinking of you all daily

    Hi girls! Just wanted to pop in to say I'm thinking of you all! For those of you used to me posting everyday--I'm sorry--I know it's probably been really unusual to see how little I've been posting lately! Just been super busy, but always thinking of you!

    Evening ladies.
    Just a quick post as i'm ready for bed after a few busy days at work.

    ruthie- sorry to hear of ur bfn. bring on jan 09. let's hope its month of alot of BFPs.

    jenushka- glad to hear thing are alright now after your scare. I have for you.

    Mannie2903- i know how u feel, i was thinking in 2 weeks i would have been 12 weeks and we could have announced at our son's bday that i was pregnant.
    I agree with you at work i've noticed so many pregnant customers come in and i think to myself i want that to be me again.

    Me- Not alot to report, still no AF. Its been 5 weeks since m/c and d&c and nothing. I do see gyno on the 28th nov, so if nothing shows up i'll be asking questions.

    Goodnight, sleep tight.

    Good morning lovely ladies! Yes, it's me.... I know I've been a stranger lately.... so sorry, but I've missed you all! Sometimes it's hard to real life and BB! Going to try to catch up so I don't feel so out of the loop!



    smi--Happy crappy Monday, girl! How goes it with your TWW-- do you think you caught that eggie? Fingers are crossed for us--here's some for both of us, too!



    megsmum--Saying lots of for you for this IVF cycle! *hugs*



    princess-- and welcome! I'm sorry for your sad loss that brings you to us. I pray you find comfort and support amongst the great girls we have here in our thread--they've always been my lifeline of support, as friends and family just don't seem to understand. Congratulations on your engagement, and I pray you are blessed with a sibling for Zac very soon!



    mollycat--Enjoyed our chat on Friday.... hope to make it again either tonight or Wed! Will try not to be a nana, but you may have to contend with DF for my attention! He has to have surgery on his hand today, so he'll be off work for 4-6 weeks! He's being very optimistic about it all.... he seems rather thrilled with the thought of me needing a wheelchair, and is determined to do his part in making sure that is a necessity! He's liking the idea of having me all to himself while the kids are gone at school--so much for me getting a break during the day! 4 weeks at the rate we've been going lately, and I'll need a gurney for sure! Hugs.... *kiss*



    Ruthie--Sorry to hear about your BFN.... even though it's for the best for the time being, I know it's still never easy.



    Dutchy--What an insensitive thing for your friend to say! I'm sorry, that had to have been rough--but I'm glad to see that you didn't just bite your tongue--I think I would've bitten her head off! Hopefully she'll realize what she said, and understand how stupid it was to say something like that! Big *hugs* hon... and lots of luck with your FS appt. next month.



    Mel--Yay for getting a FS appt. so quickly! Hope all your questions are answered!



    tutmae--Sorry, don't mean to freak you out with my lack of posting lately--I'm sure it's quite unusual for some of you! Will try to do better! Damn, girl, with bb's like that, you're going to need a back brace pretty soon! Good luck with your upcoming scan--don't let your brain play tricks on you--everything will be just fine! Lots of stickyvibes, hugs, and bellyrubs coming your way!



    Melissa--Rant and rave away, hon.... you deserve it after what you've gone through! I can't believe what a trooper you are going into the delivery room with your SIL--and the fact that you held it together for so long--you're amazingly strong and resilient, and you should be so proud of yourself! *hugs* It's very common and normal to be jealous of pg women right now--you're not a b!tch--you're heartbroken--there's a HUGE difference! You're in my thoughts and prayers, hon.... feel better soon!

    Thank you some much for all your warm welcomes and encouraging words. I have been referred to a specialists and will be seeing them next month. Doc did a blood test and said the hormone levels were low, but yes I must of mc again. He is not supposed refer me until I have had 3 in a row, but has taken the plunge and done it anyway.

    My heart goes out to all of you - I never realised that so many people would be going through the same thing.

    Best of luck to you all. Here's hoping.
