Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ June 08

[AJC]

Hey Mel - I kinda feel the same way, have been posting in PAML but still don't feel like I 'belong' yet. Hoping to feel a bit more reassurance on Thu when I have my next scan. Enjoy your time in Perth with your sis. We still haven't told anyone yet.

Big hello and to all of you wonderful ladies. I don't want to come back here but I do miss you all and am checking up on you all every day almost. Showering you all with and happy positive vibes (will have to make up my own emoticon for that - hmmmm let me think).

2 more sleeps until my next scan. for that lil

[Mel A]

AJC - Sooo good luck with your scan. Heres hoping that we are worrying for nothing.

Looks like quite a few of us are needing to vent, and I really feel the need as well...

I was really depressed about waking up with af yesterday, but was dealing with it ok and psyching myself up for this cycle. Then I missed a call from my obstetrician today and have just had a chance to listen to the message that was left. Apparently my hcg level indicated that I might be in the very early stages of pregnancy and they were asking me to have another test done this week. Does that mean I have lost another baby? Was it a really really early miscarriage? Or was it just that there was a small amount of hcg left from my angel's pregnancy? I thought my hcg level had dropped right down though so I'm just not sure. I tried to call my obs office, but they must finish at 4.30 or something because no one answered. I'll call them again tomorrow. AF is heavier than I've ever had before, but could that just be because it's my first af since I lost my angel?

Soooo confused and upset

Ladies - quick selfish post - I am happy to report that it's a for me

Woke up yesterday and felt like CRAP (queasy, achy, tired, headache), bb's still sore. DH asked if I should test and I said no way - 10/11 dpo and couldn't face seeing a bfn. Held out until 2pm, poas and it was a very faint but def + within 3 minutes (and could be seen at arm's length). Still wasn't convinced as have never had a bfp this early, tested again at 8pm last night, 6am this morning and still got the same faint but positive line. Had a very small amount of spotting at lunchtime, came home and tested again at 6pm even though I swore I wouldn't! Happy to say that the line that came up within 3 mins was much darker than the line this morning ...

I have a doctors appt on Friday so hopefully will be able to get a blood test done after that and get a bit more reassurance

I'm also sorry to post this in the midst of so many of us feeling down at the moment, I just had to tell - big big to you all, and an extra double helping of

Krystielove - sending you a million . Did they do repeat bt's after your m/c to ensure it had dropped to 0? I think that anything over 5 is considered a 'possible' pregnancy. I must say - I don't think it was a good decision to leave you that info in a message without you having a chance to ask questions. Of course you are going to be concerned and confused. I know it's easier said than done but please don't panic or jump to any conclusions until you speak to your ob and find out more details.

Jenushka - No one should ever feel sorry for announcing their pregnancy sweetpie! Even if some of us are down, I'm sure we are all more than happy for you. I know I am!! You must be so thrilled I will you all the best and you'll have to keep us all updated!

AJC - You are so right. I'm sure I am just getting worked up over something that I needn't be. I had a BT on the 19th of last month and mt hcg was still 101, so maybe it just hadn't quite gotten to below 5 yet. I'll speak to the ob tomorrow and see what he says. What a roller coaster of emotions we all go through on our TTC journey!!!

just a quick message to all of you who are feeling as down and yukky as i am...just remember that we are so lucky to have each other and this place to come and vent.
And we will all get our most wanted BFP's ...one way or another
better sprinkle some

Jenushka - YAYYYYEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!! Congrats hun - wooHOOOOO!!! Shout it out loud from the roof tops sweet!!!!

Mel A & AJC - i feel the same about the belonging - so just straddling

Krystielove -

big hugs to tina and to all those who particularly need them - plenty of them to go around - cost nothing and give so much.

I'm getting better without having taken the antibiotics. I googled the script and the risk (even tho they said it was "safe") was that bubs, after it is born, may not respond to antibiotics/drugs to fight bacteria. It wasn't worth the risk. So just had a lot of rest and now just have a wee sore throat.

Hey to everyone!
