Sorry back again
mmteacher... I just noticed that we are the exact same date in our pg's..how nice...take care xoxox
Congrats Emmylou & Mel!!!:)
Mel A: woo hoo! Congratulations! you must be over the moon, thats wonderful! Now send some of those baby vibes my way!!!!
mmteacher: thanks for the welcome back! it certianly has been crazy around here while i was gone! 6 bfps? thats amazing!
jodsan: yeah, thank you, it is really hard not to think about the EDD, im trying so hard, but its so tough...we just have to keep focussing on the good things to come, and as issy said, we will aprreciate it so much more when it happens....
jen: as always, thank you. No, we didnt feel the earthquake at all in Honkers, but we did have a great time! It was really hard, but i tried not to focus on the TTC thing while we were away. but having such a long cycle did not help! aaah, well as you said theres always next month! how are you going?
Acria - I'm not a huge subway fan, but I do enjoy their meatball subs. I'm guessing that even the meatballs would be a bit iffy when pregnant... And if you don't have a good vibe about this month, then imagine the lovely surprise you will get if it IS your cycle! :D
Issy - I am so sorry you are feeling so down. I don't know you TTC story, but from what you've written here it looks like you've had a pretty rough time :( I don't think there is anything wrong with you indulging in some moments of grief though. Eat as much chocolate as you want because it sounds like you deserve it. Tomorrow is a new day and you can try to get back your positive attitude, but I often feel much better after letting my emotions take over for a while.
LizJessie - Sorry about the BFN, but good luck for the next test. When I was pregnant my sense of smell was definitely hightened. I nearly passed out in a Vietnamese market!! Ewww.
PS. Your hpt's come from a post office?! I had no idea you could get them there!
OMG, I just continued reading and realised they came in the mail for you and that I am stupid, lol!
mollycat - Your cycle sounds crazy! Has it ever happened before? I hope your doctor is about to help you understand what's going on. I don't even know what advice I could offer you :( I hope things get a bit more normal for you soon though!
Jen - I wonder if there is a term used for staring at pregnant bellies when you have "pregnancy envy"? I suffer from it too ;)
SaraJane - I'm so glad you have found this thread too. The girls have all been so lovely and I already feel so comfortable in here. I know things happened for you about the same time as me, so how are you going now? We are doing exactly the same as you at the moment; not actively trying, but not using contraceptives. I've still got hcg in my body though so my body is on hold...
Mel - Huge congratulations to you!! :D
I just want to let you all know how glad I am to have found this post and had the nerve to join in. You are all so supportive of one another and I find it extremely comforting. I wish I could give you all a big group hug ;)
And finally an update on me. I've just come back from having my arm stabbed, so I should get the BT results back in a couple of days. I've got my fingers crossed that the hcg level is close to a big fat ZERO! I just want so badly to ovulate so that we can try for another precious little life.
And I was wanting your opinions on something. DH and I are having a star named for our little angel. We found a package that is decent priced and they send you out a little Russ teddy bear with a certificate which we are going to keep with all the stuff related to our angel (like the positive hpt's). The question I have is about the certificate. They ask for a "Registration of Occasion Date" and I'm not sure what to put. Would we put the day we found out that she has passed away, or the date of my last LMP, or the date of conception (eg. the date I ovulated), or maybe her EDD?
WOWWWW!
How sticky is our thread?!
Congratulations to AJC and MEL A. I should keep the computer off more often. Every time I do, one of you guys gets a :bfp:
Katiegirl - thanx for filling me in. It helps to know my biology might not be out of whack and that your had similar AF's before your BFP.
Acria - You're right about timing. According to my chart on Fertility Friend, my O could be on various days, so you never know...
KrystieLove - You are so lucky you have an OB you can put your faith in. After my GP appointment this morning, I am thinking of switching OB's (should I successfully conceive again). My OB is not very approachful and I think I need to find one a little more understanding and who is prepared to answer my questions.
Jenushka - I am learning that Google is evil EVIL - but I continue to succumb to it. Will ever learn?
Issy - Sweetie, I am so sorry for your difficult day. It would have been very hard to come across the pictures. You are such a tower of strength on this forum. Here's one right back at you :hug:
SaraJane - welcome. Sorry for your loss - you will certainly find some understanding sisters in this forum.
TO EVERYONE SEEKING A :bfp:
I don't know if I should mention this, but we tried for three months before our last BFP. The first two months we followed the usual TTC stuff, but the third month we used PreSeed. It may have helped - it may not. I am not a rep for this stuff and for all I know it may have caused the MC. But felt I should share it...
AS FOR ME:
Got my blood test results back today. Two main things of note:
1. Low titre of 80 ANA 2 weeks ago. GP also said not to worry. But I did after phoning a miscarriage unit (even though I am still not technically recurrent). They said this could relate to miscarriage and to get retested in another month. So now I have to ask my GP to redo a test she is not bothered about. Should make for an interesting consultation...
2. elevated Thyroglobulin antibodies detected DURING PREGNANCY - though OB said not to worry at the time. So I worried today instead, but miscarriage unit not to worry.
Meanwhile I succumbed to POAS this morning - after breakfast at approx 7DPO (but could be anything). What a surprise - BFN.
HAVE GREAT WEEK EVERYBODY
KrystieLove - that is the most beautiful idea!! It is difficult to choose a date. Ideally it would maybe be the day your angel was "released" to the heavens. But you may not know that date if you had a missed MC like me. Perhaps you can just give the month?
Where's the hope - just curious about the relationship between ANA titre and miscarriage? My ANA titre is always around 1600-3000 and because of that I constantly get tested for lupus but nothing comes up and they label me with chronic fatigue syndrome. Did they explain how a positive ANA can cause miscarriage?
:cheer::cheer: Mel A - YAY FOR YOU!!!!!! :cheer::cheer:
Well done sweety - wishing you a very sticky sticky bub!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also emmy-lou - my memory is not what it used to be - not sure if i congratulated you. :cheer: Here's a ra ra girl for you too just in case i haven't - so pleased for you too!!
Jodsan, Hi.
Sorry about your loss in January. I had never even heard of ANA before today, so I am sure you know more than I do. My result is the lowest of abnormal, but from what I have so far gathered, in pregnancy it can cause your body to have an immune reaction to the growing bub. It apparently does this by making your blood sticky. It is treated with a combination of aspirin and Clexane (?), ideally started before pregnancy.
Meanwhile, I am fascinated by the connection with CFS - I suffered from it in my early to mid-20's. I wonder if there is a connection. What is the test for lupus called?
Kategirl - just wanted to wish you all the best for tomorrow. Am sure all will be fine and you'll see that beautiful little :heartbeat: and those gorgeous tiny little arms & legs. Can't wait to hear all about it. :hug:
SarahJane - Sorry for your loss. I'm sure you are finding good support in here.
Krystielove - totally up to you but I think I would use bub's edd. That's a really nice idea.
tinak - glad you had a nice holiday but sorry about BFN. I'm sure this will be your lucky cycle this time.
Emmylou - CONGRATS on the :bfp: Wishing you a very happy & healthy pregnancy!
Best of luck to those about to :loveshower::bd::loveshower: and hugs to those in tww.
Sticky vibes for :bellygrowing:
Sorry if I've missed anyone - we've been very busy in here lately...
