Tam - I'm sorry if I'm out of place saying this but your AP really shouldn't have said that to you! Please don't let what he said discourage you. Sorry, as I said I hope I haven't offended you by saying that but I've just been 'burnt' by a someone in a natural therapy once before which left a very bitter taste in my mouth. :pray: the BT levels are really good.
Ruthie - I'm so sorry about your DH's job, I know how you feel, mine got made redundant from his job earlier this year too :( :pray: he picks up something else good really soon!
jackjack - Hi and welcome, so sorry for your loss and that you have to join us here :( Hope we can help...
buliej - Not real sure about the cytogenetic results, I think that they may be where they test for a molar pregnancy?? Or it may be the chromosomal testing? I believe the standard recommendation by most obs after a D&C is one cycle ie wait for AF and then start again, that's what I was told by my ob anyway. I would not wait for 3 cycles if that is not what you want to do. BTW, I had an AP tell me I should have waited for 6 months to TTC again :o As if I have that much time to waste at my age :rolleyes:
Tam - I have to agree with AJC on those comments too - I'm sorry to say this, hope I don't offend you either :hug: A bit inappropriate IMHO and probably unnecessarily worrying for you. I'm not aware of any link between the actual temps and m/c, after all don't forget there are many things that can influence your BBT. Will be crossing everything for a good BT result for you :)
mollycat--:hello: Hope you're doing well! *kiss*
jackjack--:welcome: My sincere condolences for your losses :comfort: I pray that you find yourself enveloped with comfort and support during these dark days! The girls here are the best--and you're sure to always find someone to answer your questions, or just to lend an ear when you need to vent. I look forward to getting to know you!
buliej--Glad you got some reassurance regarding biopsy results. I know it's still difficult because you don't have an answer as to why this happened, but I hope you're able to find some peace. Big :hug:
Tam--Saying so many :pray: for you, hon! :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: Wishing you the absolute BEST with your BT results!! :crossfingers:
Tam I'm praying so hard that your lil bub is ok !!! Plz don't stress out !!! :hug:
Ruthie I'm so sorry abourt your DH being laid-off I'm praying they call him back to work or that he finds something new soon ...
Jen Hi and sending lots of babydust your way !!!
I will come back later on for more personals but love babydust and stickyVibes to everyone !!!

:SAAF:
Jen - hun I'm so sorry re AF - i want to vent with a few expletives on your behalf but can;t do so here :redface:
Tam - from my understanding temps taken after BFPs are irrelevant. I was taking temps after mine and when it dropped a bit i was worried and just had to stop taking temps cos it was doing my head in. My temps did drop but I am still pg. Chin up sweet - keep rubbing the positivity into that mummy tummy.
jackjack - biggest hugs to you for having to be here in the first place :hug:
buliej - I remember my ap wanted me to wait too before TTC after my lap - it just so happened I had to wait 2 cycles anyway cos that was what my ob requested. My ap just wanted me to wait cos he wanted to get some of my organs into tip top shape to give my next pg a good chance - particularly my spleen and kidneys which are supposed to be imperative for supporting early pg. I hated having to wait too - as a result I am now going to have a xmas baby (but as long as it comes safely in my arms it doesn;t matter really). I know someone else that went to my ap and didn;t wait and they are happily entering 3rd trimester. I guess what I'm trying to say is, it's hard to wait (I sure know about that) and I don't know that I would have if the ob hadn't asked me too as well. But it is good to have ur body functioning at it's best to give a pg every chance. Just comes down to how much faith you have in ur ap. Big hugs hun - wish i could do more for you.
Mollycat, Megsmum,Jen, Toccara, Smi: :grouphug: I don't know where I would be without your love and support!! I love you girls. Hubby is applying for food stamps and medicaid today. HE already applied for unemployment support.. hopefully we will be ok.. but I know this might be selfish of me.. but I just feel so terrible that I can't TTC now. :( :boohoo::redface:
And to think today I would have been EXACTLY 21 weeks 0 days!!
jackjack & Buliej : :welcome::bluedust::pink-babydust:Welcome.. sorry you had to join this thread.. just know the women here are AMAZING!! I don't know where I would be w/o them! I lost my 3rd Angel in Sept and it all sucks. This year has been horrible here. But regardless.. I just wanted to say we are all here for you girls.. I hope and pray you are blessed soon ♥
Ruthie - have you tried acupuncture to bring on AF. I know it's an added expense but if you can manage (or when you can) it may be worth considering. I recall reading that many women have had success with acupuncture in terms of regulating cycles. This could gear you up for TTC in 2009 when things improve (I'm crossing my fingers that they will for you and all of us!)
plc - that's exactly what my AP said - same theory, same organs. As much as I respect her opinion, I'm going to go with what my OB/FS said re: TTC again. I'll wait for 1 regular AF then get down to business as I feel the clock ticking at a rapid pace (I have my 42nd bday coming up in just a few weeks)! I just hope AF returns within the expected time.
AFM - I'm submitting my wish to the universe for 2009...I'm hoping for 1 (ok, 2...but I'm trying not to be greedy) good egg in 2009...just 1 that sticks and grows into a H&H bub.
sticky vibes and baby dust to all....
Mel - Happy anniversary! Glad you've found a FS you're comfortable with. Thats important. I hope you get some answers and :bluedust: in the meantime.
fifi - Great to hear from you and that everything is well. Goodluck with the 20 week scan.
megsmum - Goodluck with the wait. Sending you lots of "patience" vibes as well as sticky ones.
jen - :hug: So sorry hun. Take care of you.
Tam - I agree with the other ladies here. I don't know of any connection between temps and m/c - its so variable anyway. I think its awful to stress you out so much. As if you're not worried enough as it is. :pray: for good news with the BT results.
Ruthie - I'm so sorry DH was laid off. I agree with mollycat: 2009 and can only get better.
jackjack - Sorry for your losses. You have come to the right place. Here you can vent, scream, cry or even laugh, whatever you feel you can express here 'cause we all get it! :hug: to you.
buliej - At the end of the day, if there's no reason to wait, its up to you when you feel ready. Sounds like your AP just wants to make sure you're body is 100% ready.
:hug: to everyone else :pink-babydust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
AFM - I'm having a day off today. I had a really bad tension headache yesterday. I've just read there may possibly be a link between non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs (eg ibuprofen) and m/c so I put up with it because I'm not going to risk it (won't I be ****ed if AF shows). I still have a headache, although its much better today, but I've been feeling really nauseous. Figured it was a good excuse for some me time.
buliej - u do have to trust ur instincts sometimes don't u? Big :hug:
ruthie - i am really sorry i didn't acknowledge u before - sweet i so feel for u - sending some superstrong positive vibes ur way :hug:
buliej: Thanks girl.. well right now I cannot even afford a pantyhose.. much less AP. I guess I just have to wait... if AF decides to come.. she will be welcome.. but am afraid that like last year she will stay for 3 months.
It all sucks.:redface: :crying:
I'm sorry about your loss girl.. just please know we all understand.. we have been in your shoes.
I'm here for you girl.. even though I might not be of much help right now. :(
Hannh, plc: Thank you girlS. I hope so. It can't get any worse or can it??... **sigh** I just want things to finally look up.. they always do.. but I dream of that day...**sigh** that day ..when I hear my newborn crying for the very first time.. when I hold that tiny hand.. when I can smile...look back and say to myself.. "It was all worth it."..:crying:
THANK YOU GIRLS!!!
Toccara--Hey, hon, good to hear from you! :hug:
smi--Glad to hear you're feeling better! Cheers to this cycle! *hugs*
plc--Dec. 27 is THE day!! :leap: (Couldn't help but snoop in the PAML thread... ) Congrats on having a date set! Are you getting nervous yet?
Ruthie--My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family! Wishing you the best of :goodluck: with DH finding a new job! Chin up, hon--you'll get thru this! :hug:
buliej--I second your wish! Will say lots of prayers for your wish to come true! *hugs*
Hannah--Glad you were able to take the day off for some time for you! Hope you feel better soon! Sending lots of anti-AF vibes your way!
AFM--My poor DS, we just got back from the dr. I think he has strep throat again--this will be 3 times in 1 1/2 months!! They took a culture, so I should know tomorrow, but I'm almost positive that's what it is-- he has the same exact symptoms as the last 2 times! :(
AF definitely being feisty this month... this will be WAY TMI :tmi: but I overflowed my tampon twice during the night! :o That's very heavy for me--especially when I'm laying down--usually it's lighter during the night. Grrr! I think we should all :protest:
Krystie--I sure do miss you Pill Girl! *hugs* Seems like it's been forever since we've had a chat! Bellyrubs for you and little Chyan! *kiss*
Jen - Stupid b$%&$y AF! :angry: I'm sorry she is treating you so bad the witch! here's hoping she goes away soon and doesn't visit you again for 9 months :hug:
HannahD - Hope the headache is better today! I get them too, horrible things.
buliej - What a lovely wish, hoping that it comes true for you :hug:
Ruthie - :pray: your DH picks up work real soon! We were lucky, my DH did and it didn't put any stop to our TTC, you are not being selfish at all, I would have been devastated too.
plc - Yay for having a day set!
Toccara - Hi!
Hi to all you other lovely ladies out there too :)
AFM - Having some major pg symptoms today, but I had my second HCG injection last night. They have been so much worse this time around compared to last cycle - the things we do! Here's hoping that its not in vain, I'm pretty sure we won't get another chance this year now, I will probably go back onto the Pill to make sure the next AF doesn't arrive at a bad time ie Christmas Day :rolleyes: and start a new cycle early in the New Year. Will find out next Fri anyway when I see the FS again. Am so hoping that I won't need another cycle!
Hey luvlies!! sorry I have been off the radar lately, I've been so busy at work and have not had much time to post, am home today as I have an ear infection and its very very sore, last night I was busy googling what ear drops I could take in case I am pregnant again this month. Doc this morning was really good and gave me some antibiotics and some drops but man is it sore! Am on my TWW and hoping that this one will be 3rd time lucky! temps have been good and last two days have jumped up, maybe because Im sick or maybe because bub is in my tummy, here's hoping.
Ruthie - I'm sending you lots of positive vibes and prayers that your DH finds a job soon, damn enconomy, we've had quite a few laid off in the last few weeks, thank god I haven't had that come my way, but we are all on tenderhooks until this encomony gets going again.
Buliej- go for it, don't wait unless your emotionally or physically not ready yet to ttc, but I didn't wait, I probably should've one cycle but didn't and then had a chemical pg but we tried again this month as Megsmum said hellllooooo I ain't no spring chicken anymore and I want to get 2 bubs in before its too late.
Tam - just take a breather and relax and put this all in God's lap, he will take care of you and your bub, temps have nothing to do with whether you will m/c or not, so I tend to agree with AJC here, as long as your HCG levels keep rising appropriatley then you will be fine....and as my OB said to me he is not a fan of HCG levels, he'll do the first one and then if they seem right to him for the weeks I should be then he leaves it at that, when can you have your first ultrasound? that will def put you at ease.
Jen - not TMI I know exactly what you mean, and maybe go to a herbalist who may help with the blood flow my did years ago and it has never been as bad as it was? you don't suffer from endometriosis do you? hope your DH feels better soon, sending lots of get well vibes to your DH!
Hannah - also sending you lots of :stickyvibesgirl:
Jackjack - welcome, I hope your visit is short and it won't be long before your holding your little angel in your arms....lots of :bluedust:
plc - not long to wait now...goodluck!!! what a wonderful gift you will have to bring in 2009!
:hello: Toccara, MO3B, Hannah, princess, dutchy, joey, Krystie, Angel, Mollycat, Smi, and anyone else I've missed (so hard to remember everyone) your all in my thoughts and prayers, not sure when I'll be back to post, hmmm well since I'm off sick til Friday, maybe I'll see you all tommorrow :)
ciao ciao
Thanks for the GL and enthusiasm re my birth date :grouphug:
Mannie - just wanted to say that I have ear problems semi-regularly and they occurred during both pgs. The drops are fine and antibiotics would be fine for this early early stage. So just concentrate on the positive vibes for your little egg. Big hugs and :crossfingers:. Get well soon - i appreciate your pain - ouch!
thanks plc still in quite a lot of pain today, am literally eating the panadols every 3 hrs...can you tak nurofen? i was thinking of doing a pg test though its early days yet Im at 7dpo today so may not pick up any hcg yet. just so I have some peace of mind if I do take the nurofen. Have had some twinges down there and temp still up but don't wish to waste the test they are so expensive as it is...would rather wait til after AF is due. Advice ???? :(
Mannie, I was just reading the other day that there may be a link between non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs, such as nurofen, and m/c, especially if taken around the time of conception. The evidence isn't irrefutable - experts are still disagreeing on whether or not there is actually a link - and more research is needed. I get tension headaches which panadol don't help but I suffered through it rather than risk taking ibuprofen. Its up to you, maybe talk with your GP. As I said, it isn't agreed that there is a link, but it seems to be possible. I'd be interested to know what others think.
I hope this helps and I hope you feel better soon.
Hey girlies.. someone sent this to me today and OMG.. I just HAD TO SHARE!!!
What Makes A Mother?
I thought of you and closed my eyes
And prayed to God today
I asked "What makes a Mother?"
And then I heard Him say.
"A Mother has a baby,"
This we know is true;
I asked "But God can you be a Mother,
When your baby's 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 for the 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 to be here."
He took a deep breath and cleared His throat,
And then I saw a tear.
"I wish that I could show you,
What your child is doing today.
If you could see your child's smile,
With the 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 had 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 her every day.
When she goes to sleep,
On her pillow's where I lay
I stroke her hair and kiss her cheek,
And whisper in her ear.
Mommy don't be sad today,
I'm your baby and I'm here.'
"So you see my dear sweet ones,
your children are okay.
Your babies are born here in My home,
And this is where they'll stay.
They'll wait for you with Me,
Until your lesson's through.
And on the day that you come home
they'll be at the gates 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 know that you are the best one!"
