Just a quick little reminder to everyone who is doing the candle lighting for Pregnancy Loss and Awareness day...... Tomorrow is the day..... and its at 7pm for one hour and further information is on the october15th web site.
jenushka (the most Zen of all TP checkers )--That was a How scary for you, though! Glad that you were able to get right into the dr. That is very strange that he/she had never heard of Progesterone support during pg'cy! Hooray for Dr. Amazing--I'm so grateful that you have her! Hope the spotting stays away.... just relax as much as you can...sending lots of positive
fifi--You must be so excited about your upcoming scan!
jonisteve-- So sorry for your loss, and that those are the circumstances under which we are meeting. I think maybe your body is still trying to get back to normal... although I didn't have a D&C, it still took some time for my body to get back to whatever "normal" is for me. Might be safer to give it one more month if you can stan the wait.... I know for me it was impossible to wait the 2 months that my dr. suggested I wait! I pray you feel comfortable and supported here--this is a great bunch of girls!
smi--Hey girlie friend! Hope your Monday wasn't too crappy.... mine was too busy to be crappy! But I feel I got some stuff accomplished, so that's a good thing! So how's it going with the Lee sitch?
plc--Argh! Yes, sorry, you missed another chat... but it was just me and Angel, so there was no surprise banners, balloons, etc. like you've all done for me before! Bellyrubs for you! *kiss*
mollycat--Ok, I'm going to have to hold you to that night-time daycare just so I can get you into chat just once! Or maybe I'll just you get a wild hair up your booty one of these Friday nights!
21--No worries here with feeling like you're the only one left in a TTC forum. At my last count there were at least 26 of us here! And I've had 4 m/c's total, so I know a little something about having to bide my time and wait my turn. You just continue on everyday because you have to.... one foot in front of the other.... sure, there's disappointments, but such is life...you just keep keeping on, while supporting each other along the way. Just wanted to make sure you realized that you're NOT the only one left, unfortunately, there's too many of us!
issy--What you said what beautifully worded! You're awesome! Lot's of super duper big, huge coming at you right now! Careful, you're about to be knocked over! I have so much respect for you, thanks for your kind words--and you're absolutely right!
AJC--*waving* Going to join us in chat again on Friday? for you and some too!
mummyO3B--Aww, honey, well of course you would be devastated for your DH's cousin! I'm so very sorry for her and her family! Please don't feel guilty--you never wished for this to happen to her! If anything, you'll be able to be that much more supportive of her since you know some of what she's going through. Sorry to hear about your BFN... hope things get worked out soon, one way or the other. Chin up, hon!
dellydoo--Sounds like you need some of these Hope your FS can give you some answers!
Angel--Still haven't gotten my pins in the mail for Oct. 15th! Hope it comes tomorrow so I can wear it on Wed! Bought a candle that I'm going to keep lit all day! Thanks for the reminder! *kiss*
Angel-- You know that's NOT what I meant you big doof! I was saying it was only us in there--not that it was JUST us, like we're chopped liver or something! Would I really say that about US? See, now don't you feel like a schmuck!
Ok, ladies, I think I'm caught up for the most part, at least with those who posted. Sorry to those I missed.... Toccara-- for you! I gotta get to bed, I'm beat! Will be back bright and early in the am! for all! *kiss* for some! You know who you are!
A me-post. Skip if you don't want to get out your violin.
As you can see by my new glorious signature my first IVF with PGD cycle was cancelled. I did end up growing a wonderful 11 follies and had much higher estrogen after the weekend - I thought all was well. But this IVF business is a bit more complicated then I thought. I had 3 over 10mm and they wanted more. They chose to halt my FSH after just 10 injections. I am really disappointed. My clinic gave me the option to take the trigger injection last night and then we DTD tonight/tomorrow morning in a hope of catching the egg. In desperation we have chosen to do this.
But, as you know, this defeats the purpose of IVF with PGD. It is such a gamble for us. I am hoping my FS (who I am seeing on Friday) will let us try a different type of cycle using Orgulutran (spelling?) when my AF comes. Otherwise, if we do a down reg cycle, I will clash with the Christmas business hours and they will not let me do another cycle until next January. I just don't think I can hold out that long.
To MegsMum and Angel - thank you. I really have appreciated your support these past few days
I've just logged on quickly while at work as I want to get opinions of something. But couldn't go past COLOR="Purple"]wth[/COLOR]without giving you a big . I don't know that much about the IVF process so I can't really offer any advice. But I'm sorry you've had this latest disappointment.
AFM - I wanted to ask about something I plan to do tomorrow. Since its is pregnancy loss remembrance day, I'm planning to send an email to tell those people in my life who don't already know about my m/c. I figured it would serve to promote awareness as well as help me avoid the question "So, when are you having kids?" An email means I can tell everyone at once without having to deal with well-intentioned but ultimately stupid comments. Am I being a coward? Is it corny?
Sorry for the lack of persies. Will come back after work.
WTH - So sorry that your first IVF cycle isn't to go ahead as planned. Hopefully the trigger shot and the eggies growing in those fat follicles will give you some luck! If it doesn't happen this month, then I hope your FS lets you change to the orangutan cycle. Yup, I know that I spelt it totally wrong, but monkeys are cute yeah? Hehehe. Good luck honey!!!
Angel schmuck - I'm definitely going to be lighting my candle tomorrow in remembrance of not only my own angel baby, but for the angel's of all the ladies that have come and gone through this thread, and all the other angel's that have not been destined to live in the arms of their parents.
Hen Schmuck - Now now, just because little chyan has the ability to flip the bird, doesn't mean that she hasn't got enough manners and proper upbringing to know to only use it in extreme circumstances :P
Hmmmm, the little emoticon has changed. It's still cute.... but I liked the old one better with the little baby trying to stand and falling on it's butt. Hehehehe
I know I probably don't belong is this thread now, but I feel safe in here and cannot bring myself to leave. You ladies have all helped me get through my pain and dissapointment and have been there when I was feeling scared and alone. I will probably not post as much anymore but will check in now and then to see you all with your much deserved BFP'S.
Wishing you all
Thank you all agian for your support, I don;t feel as if I'm totally out of danger yet, but I do feel a little more relaxed to all
Has anyone heard from Ruthie lately, I've been a little worried about her??
HannahD.... Hannah I think that is a FANTASTIC idea...... I would do it myself but I have already told everyone..... lol..... I get a bit like that incase you lovely ladies have not figured it out... occasionally require a leg up so i can get on my high horse..... but this one I am determined to educate people.... sort of like its why my little angels were in the first place..... You are MORE than welcome to use anything I have on my web site below..... copy paste... do whatever.... I think its a FANTASATIC idea.... huge hugs hun... huge hugs..... education is the only way this will get any easier for anyone who has to wear these shoes....
Krystie......Ohhhh damn.... that "orangutan cycle"..... ohhh crack me up.... having image of a bunch of bloody monkeys making monkey noises organising an IVF cycle.... hey heres a thought... they might actually act more humane than most FS....
Tomorrow is candle candle candle day for me..... have to get DH to bring home my pin from work... its sitting on my desk waiting for tomorrow.... didnt know I would be taking time off work.....
As for little chyan... flippin the bird... hmmm wondering if maybe she saw Aunty Angel.... I m sure I did it discreetly......
Where There s Hope...... ANYTIME hun.... ANYTIME
Larz...... I completely understand.... we build relationships in here that are so strong they are to hard to leave.... so come and go as you wish.... door is open... one day who knows.. we may lock the door on this thread because its now longer needed... but until then.. the door is open.... As for Ruthie..... I would probably think that she is taking time at the moment to get through the fog..... probably reading and keeping up with whats happening but maybe not able to post yet.... Huge Hugs to you Ruthie.... we are here for you when your fog lifts a bit more
21 - sweetheart hope ur dreams come true soon and you feel the sadness and frustration a little less
issy - go team
hannah - i don't think ur a coward at all - as you say ur raising awareness and you are also doing this by way of bravely sharing of yourself and your experience
fab 3/4 - it seems I'm full of hugs today so here
wth - i'll play the cello for you, not cos I think ur being melodramatic but because you are going thru so much (so much more than I can imagine) and the cello is so much more soulful and magestic IMO. pls know I am thinking and praying for you.
delly - so much respect for you sweet - I'll keep playing that cello for you too (i actually did get to Grade 2 but that was a long time ago and now just play it with my heart).
jonisteve - some of us chat on a friday night around 11.30pm (me - I'm struggling with it but aiming to be there this friday) but we mainly post. lots of lovely lovely ladies on BB with loads of experiences to chat to on BB.
MO3B - I would feel EXACTLY as you do if it were me in the same boat. sometimes the pain of MC is more manageable but it is truly never forgotten and can hit you in between the eyes without warning, making your eyes leak the tears uncontrollably. sometimes it is a combination of past tragedy mixed with present frustrations that makes us react the way we do. no logic, just pure emotion - it's this emotional release that makes us stronger over time. pls take care hun
hello to all the other lovelies here - esp. to Jenushka and her Dr Amazing
larz - Glad you are feeling more relaxed, take care of yourself hey?
Angel - Thanks for the reminder about tomorrow. I'm a bit bummed that I won't get my pin in time, but I think I'll wear it when I get it anyway. And there's always next year, so close to the anniversary of my m/c I'll never forget it
Krystie - Glad to see you are back in the land of the living
Hannah - I think that it an excellent idea! I don't think you are being a coward at all - if more people knew about m/c and it's effect on us, then at least we might get a bit better support after one. I actually told a friend that I hadn't seen for a while on the weekend, I was a bit unsure about telling her but she was wonderful. She said all the things that you need to hear - that it is a real loss of a real baby, and that it needs to be acknowledged by other people and not ignored. It is so good when someone understands how you feel.
WTH - Massive again. You are more than welcome hun, anytime you need to talk. I only wish that I could have changed the outcome for you Take care.
Jen - Hi there cycle buddy
dellydoo - Sorry to hear that you can't start Synarel yet Delays are just so frustrating! I hope you FS can help you out, and enjoy those tahini balls! Yum...
jonisteve - Hi and welcome I'm so sorry for your loss and hope your stay here is short.
Hi there everyone else!
AFM, nothing much happening here today. Had my first injection for LP support today and getting heaps of cramps from it. Oh well....
Just a reminder my lovelies that tomorrow is rememberance day for all of our angels. For those of you who don;'t know I have done a post HERE to explain.
Jen - Enjoy your sleep honey! Thanks for the hugs.
Hannah - Darling I think that is a wonderful idea. You are so brave. I have told most but still run into acquaintances and have to tell them. Be strong - you will get such a rush of sympathy and love.
WTH - So sorry darling - my first cycle was almost cancelled and we ended up having to do FETs that did not work. I hope you get some answers from your FS.
Kyrstie - ORANGUTAN CYCLE????
plc - thanks honey - it feels nice to think someone is playing the cello just for me!
Megsmum - to you to ease cramps!
AFM - I just had a lovely lunch in Sydney with an old mate and I had a few glasses of wine. Sigh!
Journeying through miscarriage & loss is a very difficult path. As such please think twice and only press post when you are certain that your post will not cause hurt or upset.
Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in our own feelings and our own situations - try and step outside and look at your post from others perspectives.
If a post has caused you to feel hurt or upset - please do not retaliate. Contact myself or Mistyfying or the administrator for this forum Niliac. Retaliation does not resolve a situation and only makes it more uncomfortable.
Most often people do not mean to hurt or offend - and any such difficulties need to be dealt with off the forums - this treats everyone with respect and does not cause discomfort to others.
Inflaming or insulting behaviour on the forums will be infracted as per our guidelines. You can view our forum guidelines HERE.
