Nickster - congratulations on the birth of Zachary.
Reno Update - We've now got no bathroom floor. Looks very weird in there. external walls, no ceiling, no floor. hmmmmm wonder how long before we start getting it back together.
Better get back to helping before I get yelled at...
I've been MIA for a few days but have popped in to spread some around the new thread.
Nickster - CONGRATULATIONS! And welcome to the world Zachary John. Wishing you all the best!
Allyce & babymiracles- Welcome to TTCAML. Sorry for your loss You've found a great bunch of women for support.
Jen - Glad that AF is on her way out. Here's some for this cycle.
Angel - Hope you're feeling better sweets.
Ruthie - Its great to see you're settled in to your new home and back online. Good on you for being determined to move on. Only one more week and it'll be november.
Krystie - Glad to see you popping your head in a little more often. Great you got to see little chyan. She's already showing off for her mummy and her many aunties. LOL
fifi - Take it easy hun. Good on DF for taking such good care of you!
mannie - Sorry about the BFN, but it ain't over til the fat lady (and boy is AF fat!) sings. In the meantime, relax and enjoy your time with friends. I'm sure that next month will bring you a BFP.
jenushka - As strange as it sounds, glad to hear you're not well. Its reassuring.
Hi *waving" to easha, plc, mollycat, milla, ajc,megsmum, mel, tam, jonisteve, smi, mo3b, adele, wth, tutmae and anyone else I have missed.
AFM - I had a bit of meltdown this week. Its kind of ironic that I have a meltdown because my mother announces she's so unhappy she needs to move away. I was upset that I haven't been there for her but then I just felt so terrible that I was even less able to support her. But have finally snapped out of that cycle and am feeling much better today. It didn't help that DH's 2 best friends had babies born this last week. One is called Jacob which was top of my list of names for my boy(?) when he died. *sigh* Anyway, I'm think I'm feeling strong enough to see them this weekend.
I've also had a realisation this week. It is currently the chinese year of the rat. My father died 12 years ago during the last year of the rat. Both years started off really well with big holidays and a strong feeling of close family. Then a couple of months in everything turned to sh**. Also, jen, I googled jonas method to get the lunar cycle predictions and it turns out I have high risk scores for most of this year. Then next year (the year of the ox) I have 0 or 1's for the risk scores. Not sure exactly what that means, but maybe a break from TTC wasn't such a bad decision right now.
Anyway, sorry for the long post. Haven't been around much this week and there was so much to catch up on. Have a great weekend girls!
Hi I've just join and need advice. I had a miscarriage at 5 and a half weeks in August. We decided to try again after one full cycle and nothing. After thinking about it, we thought we would just put it off till next year, but take no precautions. This last weekend I was late, so I tested and got a faint line. I believed I was pregnant, I had all the symptoms tiredness for over a week and felt like vomitting every two mins. Then I woke up this morning and well I guess you can all imagine my disappointment. I thought it surely couldn't happen to me again. Was I pregnant? did I miss again? Should I see my GP? Is there anything I'm doing wrong? My husband is supportive but has no idea.
Ruthie- thanks for sharing that. I broke down at my terrible scan without a heartbeat too...and found the D &C awfull...I cried then on the table beforehand... sending big hugs to you xx
Dutchy- you arent doing anything wrong sweetie...you might have had a miscarriage again...it happens...life isnt fair, but it's not you doing anything wrong.. and men feel these things differently to women, that's common also.
Sorry, this will be a quick post as I am going out to dinner tonight.
Well, AF arrived - completely uninvited and certainly not welcome. Not sure whether to be angry or just plain devastated.
Since it has been a year since the m/c we are going to the Dr tomorrow to be referred to a fertility specialist for some tests. Have no idea what to expect but at least we will feel like we are being proactive instead of sitting around waiting!
Dutchy - you are doing nothing wrong. If I have learnt one thing in the past 12 months is that our bodies can be so deceiving. I seem to get pg symptoms almost every month and then AF arrives. I wish I could give you the answers but unfortunately I haven't found any on my journey as yet. Best of luck on your TTC journey.
Hope everyone is doing ok,
for 2009 babies for all of us. I think this thread is due for some good news!
hey Ruthie - so sad your story, surely the doc could've been more empathetic, but these clinical people are sometimes so cold, its really rare to find a warm OB or Gyno. Most of the nurses are pretty good. I suppose they see this all the time so are complacent about it rather than help us to absorb it and try and be supportive while letting us know the unimaginable has happened.
Im hoping for a 2009 baby too Ruthie!!! I think there are plenty of us around here praying for the same thing
Melissa - I agree with you its still my baby regardless if its a chemical pregnancy it sounds so horrible when they call it that...goodluck ttcing
Dutchy - same thing happened to me, I had a positive pregnancy test a couple of days after AF was due, so pregnant right, had the symptomst he vomiting the tender breasts, the nausea, tiredness etc. Had blood tests done and hcg was 26 (bad it was way too low) AF arrived like 7 days late and my pregnancy was no more...its what doctors call a 'chemical pregnancy' so it was a second m/c, baby didn't stick again....so could be what happened to you too. Goodluck with ttcing and hoping you get a stick bub soon too....
got to go airport now and drop off a rep from sydney...also not feeling too good, think Im coming down with the flu yuk!!
HI to all the lovely ladies and sending you lots of babydust....
Ladies,
just a quick hello from me and also a most unwelcome hello from AF who arrived today as well. Grrr. I was feeling really quite hopeful this cycle and now I have to go home and tell DH who was hassling me to POAS this morning that it is not to be this month.
Hugs to Milla and Mel, hang in there.
Mannie, I'm so sorry. You are being very brave and as Ruthie says I think there must be some 2009 babies just waiting for us!
Ruthie, such a sad story! You are VERY brave and I'm so glad that all the insurance thing is going to work out for you- the US medical system scares me!!
To everyone else, lots of hugs and
Oh well back to BD (not that that is a bad thing )
