Hi everyone, huge hugs to everyone in this thread- sending you a 'WISH YOU WEREN'T HERE' greeting for Easter!!
Thanks to Sharon for getting me to cross to this thread - I'm a bit new to both the southern hemisphere (ex-UK in NZ - DH wimped out on the Oz heat - grrrrr!!) and the board so please be prepared for me asking silly questions (BekZ thanks for clearing up the Vitex issue!!)
I am waiting for my D&C on Monday, had a Nuchal Fold Scan last Tuesday (being an older mother (42) I had hoped this would give me loads of reassurance that bubs was 'OK') but they couldn't find a heartbeat - this is my second missed m/c except last time I had my 12w scan and all was well, then I miscarried at 16w but they said bubs had died weeks before (won't give TMI - most of us have been there).
Can TOTALLY identify with all of you - am desperate to TTC NOW - last time my cycle went back to normal after 6 weeks so hoping the same again this time (cross everything but not whilst BDing or driving eh!!).
I am going to share my HUGE fear and would be SO grateful for any ideas, experience, etc from you all - I have got four boys (my husband is one of 5 boys!!) BUT have lost a bub between the two eldest, one very early on (didn't have a BFP but timing, loss, etc would suggest m/c) before my son in 2005, then have had missed m/c for both my last two pregnancies (hope you are keeping up, I can waffle a bit!!) - the big fear I have is that I can't carry girls - the last two pregnancies we have been trying to stick to the 'timing' method for a pink one! Now I am scared I am killing my babies by trying for a girl - does anyone know if it is possible to not be able to carry a particular sex?? This may just be me overreacting and blaming myself because I have no other answers but it is how I feel.
So sorry for the rant!!
How is everyone else doing, any great news for us to share???? I hope you have all left this thread before I have had time I have learnt all your names and circumstances - am SO glad I found this site as not sure what I would have done this last week - a big thank you to everyone (but still wish you weren't here!!)
I know i don't belong in here, but i have a quick message from Janeo. Her DP proposed last night. She called me at about 10.30 and she was very excited. She asked for me to come in here and let you all know.
