Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ September 08 #3

[Baby Angels]

Jen Jen I went a bit over board.... I brought badges for everyone at work to wear...... lol..... "and a part of your uniform on the 15th of October will include a pink and blue ribbon" ohhhhh and I got the diamonti one (yeah ok..correct my spelling teach) I really dont know what to do or how to do it.... but I know that I have to find a way of reaching more women out there. I know I ve got the web site but there has to be another way as well... I just havent found it yet.

BB..... Daylight savings doesnt kick in for us. But just so you dont have to be up toooooo late I ll log on at 9.30 my time so that its still 10.30 for you...... Hopefully I can keep you awake long enough for Jen Jen...... also I hope Krysties MS settles down between 10.30 and 12 tonight.

I have to say I m very open about mine. I have a braclett on that has 2 hearts on it with my sons names on it... it also has 2 sets of booties on it with the twins names on it. If someone asks..... The hearts are for my 2 teenage sons and the booties are for my little angels who didnt make it....... If someone asks me how many children I have...... I have 4....... 19,16 and 2 who didnt make it and went back up above and are waiting for me there..... I dont say it to make the other person uncomfortable... I say it firstly becasue it is my life and its my reality but secondly I say it to get it out there... to get people thinking about it... to get it into their heads that even though I never held my angels in my arms does not stop the fact that they are my babies.

Megsmum...... sooo glad everythign went well for you..... for the IUI ..... the hard thing is the not knowing... the hoping... the expectations.... not to mention those bloody injections Did i tell you that I had to do one at the football semi final...... it was half time at the Melbourne/Brisbane semi final (league)..... DH and I go down to the disable toilets.... where I sit on the damn toilet while he injects me...... ohhh it was soo dignified...one of my many memories that i will ummmmmm... ummmm "cherrish"...... Oh well... the injections hopefully are over for you... other than your trigger..... hopefully those little work out what they are ment to be doing and

Where there's hope.... As with what I said above..... Its not an easy road to be on..... but if you have ANY questions hun... PLEASE ask...... If I dont know then answer then I ll know someone who does..... There are some amaizing people on this site who continue cycle after cycle with IVF..... I know some long termers who are now very very pregnant... I also know many who were successfull on their first cycle..... Dont forget though hun.... the medications... they will mess with your head... and make you feel pretty bad.... just lean on me if you need to.....

Ok... well thats me for persies ... havent done them in a while..... Its strange cause there is no AFM to add to the end... but thats fine.... or maybe I should add... AFM.... its one day at a time.....and each day I m feeling stronger

WTH - Oh pooh Take care of yourself over the weekend

Angel - I'm so glad you are feeling a bit better now, it is such a cr@ppy road to walk this one we find ourselves on And thanks so much for the crossed fingers It is hard not knowing, you know I have been stressing majorly now for the last couple of weeks not knowing if we would be cancelled or not, and now I go into the TWW with more not knowing...it never ends! I'm soooo glad to not have any more Synarel for a bit now than anything - it has been making me incredibly tired. But I'm having Pregnyl injections for LP support so the injections are not quite over yet LOL at you and DH at the footy, you must have got some strange looks hee hee hee hee hee slinking into a toilet together!! But honestly I'm trying to not put too much pressure on myself this TWW (she says now ), if it happens that will be fantastic, if not we'll go onto a new IVF cycle straight away (provided the FS agrees, may have some sweet talking to do there yet ) I just keep telling myself to keep up the hope And thanks so much for the October 15th info too, last Thursday was the first anniversary of my last m/c and I lit candles on Oct 15th last year, will be doing it again this year for sure. Can I also ask you where you can get the pins from?

[mollycat]

I've worked in out - while reading Angel's post it suddenly came to me. The reason none of us is getting pg (except for a couple every month) is - have a good look at them. They're swimming in opposite directions. They don't know where to go. Yeah, yeah, I know. I've gone crazy. It's the two year old in me.

[Baby Angels]

Hey... you should have asked... I already knew they were swimming in oppoiste directions.... infact... mine stopped swimming and started sinking... but BB hasnt updated there smiles enough to include sinking swimmers

ohhh and Megsmum..... I ll send you the link.. i m not allowed to put a link in the thread....... if you dont get my PM then try googling the memorial date ...... october 15th

[nicjay]

mollycat!! My DH reckons the reason we are having so much trouble getting pg again is that he only has dumb sperm - they all swim to the right when I am Oing from the left. Now I know that he's wrong, they are actually all swimming in opposite directions Angel, what do you reckon a sinking swimmer smilie (sp?) would look like??

[mollycat]

Megsmum - My Dh says the same thing "wrong direction". I reckon we need a "broken/sinking swimmer smilie".

Angel - It makes it hard with DH - he works in the funeral industry - and some days are just worse then others (especially when he has to bury babies or little children). My moodiness just has to wait.

[Baby Angels]

The sinking Swimmer....... hmmmmm it would be turned around so that the tail is down and the head up..... but there are bubbles coming out of its "mouth" and a really worried look on its "face"

[Baby Angels]

mollycat...... ok... well then maybe you could turn to DH.. and say ...."quiet day hun"...... now if he replies with a yes... then thats your cue.... grab saucepans...dishes... whatever... and start throwing them... when he asks what the hell is wrong... just tell him that you have been saving up your tanti s

[mollycat]

Angel Babies - hmmmm like that one

[nicjay]

The sinking Swimmer....... hmmmmm it would be turned around so that the tail is down and the head up..... but there are bubbles coming out of its "mouth" and a really worried look on its "face"

I'm just picturing them all in there around the eggie, belly up and blowing bubbles!! Oh and the eggie would have a really puzzled look on her face I think too

mollycat - Definitely!!

[Baby Angels]

LMAO... ohhh i actually sat here laughing out loud..... I can picture this egg going." hey... what the hell are you doing..... get up and get over here" "hey you.... WAKE UP"

[Tuesday's Child]

... Just thought I'd check while I'm at work since the afternoon is draaaagging on. So glad I did! Thankyou angel, megsmum and molly for the chuckles ....

[nicjay]

Maybe she could be prodding him with a stick or something too???

[mollycat]

You two crack me up. I can just picture it. You'd have to add in a whip for Jen and Krystie.

[Baby Angels]

LMAO... "hey you.... (prod prod)...... WAKE UP"

I ve always joked with DH... I ve told him he needs to learn how to make some female swimmers..... that way they are bound to get to the egg...... they will stop and ask for directions

Hannah... its the 2 year old coming out in us all.... sometimes it s soo much better to just find the funny side.

[Baby Angels]

ROFLMAO.... no the whip would be for Krystie ....ohhh god now i have tears i m lauging so much

[nicjay]

at the whip mollycat! I reckon the boy swimmers would actually enjoy the whip!!! Might not have the desired effect IYKWIM

Angel, DH and I have had the same joke. BTW, DH got a new car last year with sat nav in it - I reckon maybe those little boy swimmers need to be given a sat nav so they get there seeing as they will never ask for directions!!!

Hannah, I have had such a cr@ppy couple of weeks stressing about this follicle of mine, I need a bit of a laugh now that it is almost over! If you can't make fun of your DH and his swimmers, who can you make fun of?? LOL

[Baby Angels]

Maybe thats it...... the male swimmers get the whip..... ok new smilie..... egg hold s the whip..... saying.... "come and get it boys".....below is a rush of blue swimmers pushing past each other..... a couple of *cough* light blue swimmers are winking at each other saying... "ohhh what the heck" and skip off together.... a few pink swimmers pushing past the blue swimmers... and the rest of the pink ones sittin down below having a coffee and a chat saying... "i aint going there girlfriend"
