Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ September 2008

Oh Toccara my thoughts are with you at this time, its just horrible isn't it and just not fair!!! rest up and take care and I fully understand giving your body a break for a while.

Ruthie - goodluck at docs appointmen Im sure all will be fine and bub is growing well and is nice and snug in your womb...

Fificlaire - have you tried ginger tea??? it can help with nausea, or even a few drops of lavender oil on your pillow when sleeping can help.

Babyfever - :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesgirl:

Tam - goodluck with Docs appt and lots of :pink-babydust:to you

:stickyvibesgirl::bluedust: to everyone else today have a fantastic day....

Toccara--Oh, honey... I'm so, so sorry! :comfort: I'm also questioning if you've had another u/s--and what about BT's? Have they actually confirmed that you've m/c'd? Wish that I could be there for you... sending you the biggest hugs... take care of yourself. :(


Ruthie--Wishing you the best of luck for your appt. tomorrow! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your little one! :stickyvibesgirl:



fifi--Will your DH make me a cheesecake? :lol: I like regular, strawberry, or pineapple! ;)



joey--What's the deal with the dashes going from the 14th-16th on your chart? How come it skipped the 15th??? :confused: Could that temp just have been a little off--did anything unusual happen that morning? Because if that temp were just a little higher, I think it would've given you your coverline on the 16?



Van--Wishing you the best of luck with your IUI! Please little :sperm: go find that egg!! :bluedust:

Hey Krystie, I thought you were giving up your thermometer???? You silly little temping addict! :lol:



Tam--:goodluck2: with Friday's u/s! Hope your wait for next week flies by!



:hello: mollycat! Is your thermometer stuck on the same numbers, or what? :lol: Any niggles yet? Saying lots of :pray: for you! :pink-babydust:



Oops, gotta be at a meeting at the school in 7 minutes! Talk soon! :grouphug:

Babyfever The FS put him on menevit to help with his sperm its kinda the same as elevit for females put for sperm. Hopefully that will fix the problem.

Mannie, joey and jen Thanks for the well wishes greatly appreciated.

I thank you all so much for being so hopeful but I'm sure I'm m/c'ing so I'm not going give myself false hope I have been bleeding heavy like regular af and when I wipe its clots there they are going to do an u/s before hand I'm just ready for 2morrow to come and go I'm so hurt and my body still acting as if I'm pregnant does not help ...

Tocarra I am sorry for your pain my heart goes out to you. I'm meant to be leaving for work but had to check one more time b4 I left and seen you post and had to reply. I understand about you just wanting it to be over. I felt the same way it such a hard time.

Good luck at your u/s tomorrow :hug: I wish I could be there with you. I dont know much about your history, have you been seeing a FS and had testing done for the previous miscarriages? I myself have had two miscarriages both at 5 1/2 weeks and have been going to miscarriage management at Sydney IVF. They have done blood test, u/s and laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. They have also done extensive testing on DH sperm. Anyway your them welcome to PM me and I can tell you all about the tests it you havent already been through them. Also there is a sticky on the forum page with all the lists of test they do at SIVF for miscarriages.

Tocarra, Sweetie. Yes, whether things turn out for the better (or sadly, possibly the worse), you just want to get through it. I know what a toll this is taking on you emotionally. Please feel free to PM me. I realise no amount of cyberhugging will help you, but you really are in my thoughts. I am giving you one anyway :hug:

If you can, please have an ultrasound before the D&C...

Like Tam I have done the Miscarriage Investigation Program through SIVF. If things do not work out I can also give you any info you might need, even about testing through your local dr (which I also did).

Take care and please look after yourself as best as you can

Toccara50......HUGE hugs to you hun...... You do what is right for you right now...... When you feel that you want to TTC again then we will be here for you.... At this rate... I will still be in here so I will keep a seat warm for you :hug:

Nuff of Nuff Nuff Chyan.......Not to be again hun.... AF greeted me this morning..... Also got DH s tests back with a resounding 0%...... hmmm could it be worse... can you have minus percentages. FS said the only way is ICSI.... I will know more when I see him on the 19th. Having said that he still wants me on Clomid from Friday and then scan the following Friday... I m sure he has something in mind... just not sure what at the moment.

Pill Chyan...... Waiting for those new HCG levels.... Aunty Angels going to be keepin a close eye on little Chyan... Ohhh and guess what ... Little Chyan wont be steppin out into this world on the 19th of May..... Aunty Angel has had little words.... Little Chyan now wants to come out into this world on the 18th May because that is Aunty Angel and PCL1805 s Birthday.... Little Chyan is looking forward to be a May 18th Birthday Buddy

Oh i thought i had replied before but my message DISAPPEARED:doh:

Toccara I am so sorry. I know there is nothing i can say or do - i was in your position only 2 weeks ago. Take as much time and personal space as you need to grieve. It must be a very difficult time for you. I am thinking of you :hug:

Thanks everyone for your advice re: when it is ok to start TTC again after m/c. Hubby and I are not exactly going all out there to :ttc:, rather we are just following our natural urges :bd:. If it happens, it happens. Having said that i have been feeling kinda yuk :sick: the last 24 hours or so. Nothing seems to want to kill the nausea... we are hopeful that maybe this is a sign.. but that could be wishful thinking.. although i have heard that you can be very fertile straight after a m/c. :dunno: We'll just have to wait and see.

Babyfever - Going for a prog / hCG BT on Friday early morning, so will be posting as soon as I can to let you know the results. Should find out just after lunch.

Jen - The dashes are cause I ticked 'discard' that day. Awake at 3am to go to toilet; Intercourse at 4am - no ejectulation; Back to sleep at 5am. So I figured that my temp at 6.30am wouldn't have been accurate. I would think that all that moving around (and not having enough rest to let it go back) would make it higher than it actually should be. So I think that would have been my dip that day, then O on the following day (CD16).

AFM - Nothing new. Feeling preg though. Don't know why. Just am. Am being very carful and protective of my tummy too, like when kids come to hug me, I am turning sideways. :lol: Will see what my temp does in the morning and then probably override it so that my O date is CD16. Thanks to those of you who have checked out my chart.

:grouphug:

:pink-babydust::stickyvibesgirl::pink-babydust::bluedust::stickyvibesboy::bluedust:

I did go to the Er last night and ended up seeing a lovely doctor who was actually about 6-7 months pregnant herself, hopefully a good sign. But gee I was sad seeing her in all her pregnant glory. The good thing about having a pregnant doctor is the dignity and respect in which she treated me. I am basically having a threatened miscarriage. This means I have to rest as much as possible, virtually impossible with three children already, but I am doing my best. I have an u/s scheduled for 10am tomorrow, so I am am anxiously waiting for the results from it. The bleeding has turned into brown goop ( sorry, tmi), before it was quite a fresh red swipe. I am having mild cramps, really mild and I know it probably does not indicate much with bubba's status, but I have done two more pregnancy tests and the positive pregnancy line is the darkest I have ever had with any of my previous pregnancies, even the twins. So fingers crossed and lots of prayers and maybe I might have a miracle. Thankyou so much for all your thoughts, prayers and support. It's wonderful to feel uplifted in the face of such uncertainty.

And Toccara, my heart goes out to you. I'm so sorry for you. I completely understand that you want to put off TTC. If I lose this bubba, I am putting it off too for a while. There's only so much a heart can take over a matter of months. Lots of hugs :hug: :hug:
I am thinking of you

Leyza,

Take care hon. I am :pray: for you that all comes up positive. The BFP sounds great, and also the fact that you had a preg doctor. :hug: I hope DH will do as much house work for you as possible. Do you have anyone that can mind the kids for a couple of days so you can really relax? Or perhaps someone that can come and live with you for a little while??

Looking forward to logging on tomorrow and seeing that everything is a-ok with you! :hug:

Toccara- I am really sorry i know nothing i can say can make you feel any better. Can understand how you feel about waiting to ttc again felt exactly the same last year after my second loss in 4 months. Sending you lots of :hug: and :pray:

Leyza- Will be :pray: you, take it easy and rest:hug:

Toccara - :hug: I think the u/s is a good idea just so you have some closure. I am so sorry. :hug:

I have changed my FF now, so my cover line is blue :( not red like all the other months. I hope I got it right. OK, so I'm going to go for a BT in the morning :dance: to test my prog as tomorrow is 7DPO and that is supposed to be the 'peak' day. I think I had implantation cramping this morning, so I don't think that any hCG will register yet. I guess I'll just have to go again on Monday and see what it says then. :rolleyes:

Angel - No fair!!! It's just all not fair. Mr Angel's percentage was meant to be nice and high because of the capsulated-wonder-herbs!!! What's with ordering the wrong kind of germs? I thought you ordered "anti-AF germs"? They must have screwed up and sent you the regular germs. I think you should complain! You should at least get a refund...
As for May 18th, I would LOVE it if Little Chyan shared a bday with you and plc! How cute! Judging from the two of you, it seems like a great day to be born! :hug:

Jen Nuffa - I know! I'm smacking my own forehead out of stupidness! But... the only reason I kept temping was because when my acupuncturist found out I was pregnant and saw my chart she was super excited and told me about how she is writing a book and might like to put me in there because she loves all my charts! And well... I wanna be in a book :( :ROFL:
Can't wait for my avi!!! Oh and my GP apt was pretty boring. He had already received a copy of the bloods from my ob, so congratulated me on my way in, and was then like "sooooo, what are you seeing me for?". It was then that I realised that since my freak-out finished I didn't really need him to upgrade the bloods anymore, so I just asked for a referral to the other ob I want to meet, lol.

Fifi - Hmmm, the joys of m/s. Can't wait for that to kick in, lol. Last time it started around 6-7 weeks for me, so I've already had to warn work. There was no way I could have worked last time. Now if they don't hire someone, it's not my fault because I've been warning them for months!

Ruthie - I hope you apt went well!

Babyfever - That's a lot of pee sticks!

Joey - Don't worry, I only have sore boob too :ROFL: Just my right one so far, hehehe. And I say go with your gut feeling when it comes to your coverline. We know our bodies pretty well. Oh, and the last two cycles I had to adjust it to the correct day because it guessed mine wrong both cycles.

Tam - When do you get the next lot of results back? I really hope that the fragmentation is better now. I also hope that your ultrasound goes really well. Good luck!

Mollycat - I read your message and straight away rubbed my belly for you! Have you poas yet? Or are you being even stronger than I was and waiting until after AF DOESN'T show up?

Van - Thanks so much for your sms again :) I really really hope that your DH's sperm play a bit of "bumper-cars" with your eggy!

Toccara - I'm so devastated for you :( Sometimes things are just so unfair. I agree with the other girls, that you should have some testing done once you are feeling up to it. You can even ask them to do some genetic testing on your baby (because no matter what anyone says, it's not size that counts, it IS your baby).
Take as much time as you need to heal both physically and emotionally, and know that we are all here for you whenever you need. Take care honey!

WTH, Chappas, AJC & Mannie - :hello:

Emmykate - I think you are taking the perfect tactic to TTCing this month. It sounds like you are not putting too much stress on your body either physically or emotionally and I think that's great. I have also heard that you are highly fertile after a m/c too, so best of luck to you!

Leyza - I hope you are keeping your feet up missy! I know it must be difficult with the 3 little munchkins, but hopefully things are going ok. Good luck at your ultrasound tomorrow! Oh, and I think that it is a good sign that the bleeding is not bright red now :)


Wow, that's a lot of persies, lol. I've exhausted myself and am off to shower and beddy byes. Night all!!!

Toccara - I truly am very sorry hun. I hope your time comes very soon to be blessed in life as you want to be. Big hugs hun - take care of your heart.

Van - all the best for upcoming IUI. My thoughts and prayers are in positive over-drive for you.

Leyza - pls rest as much as is possible. c'mon bubba - stay sticky!! :hug:

jen - i take my hat off to you and how you have your finger on the pulse of this thread. You are like the private investigator of the thread - nothing passes you!!! :lol: Ladies - don't think your safe thinking you can go underneath the radar and pass unnoticed. Lord love you, Jen!!

BB - oh hun, I so wish you could be cut a break. It would be lovely to have 3 pg bellies at that table in November. I know I know.....one day at a time. I am sending special vibes to your bod to just fall in with the treatment you now face so that angel chyan junior can make a start!!!

KL - yes, I have also had a word to lil chyan and the plan is definitely for the 18th may ;) have a good rest sweet.

joey - i have everything crossed for you, sweet.

hey mollycat - big hopeful hugs for you!!

hello to fifi, mannie, babyfever, ruthie :hug:, tam, chappas, wth, emmykate, and the other lovelies I have missed.

me: had ob and thyroid appts yesterday and all on track - nice to have it reinforced every so often just so as to push back the niggly fears :redface: big hugs everyone!!

Hello ladies,

well rubbish day today, back went again whilst at work, all i did was sneeze!!

luckily managed to get emergency appointment with chiropractor. she has told me that my pelvis is twisted which is making my lower back enflamed. I did manage to get a nice massage from her tho. She also said my right leg is currently and inch longer than my left as i'm twisted so much. I have to go back in a week and hopefully should be sorted, bit fot now i have to sit in pain. :wall:

So for now i just have to sit here with ice pack on chatting away on here oh never mind :-)

Hi Ladies,

Just passing through as have had some sad news tonight and can't seem to fall asleep - my grandmother passed away this evening. It was peaceful and she had her loved ones with her but between hearing she was very ill and today it's only been 2 weeks... a lot to take in. I'll be heading down to Sydney for the funeral - I guess early next week sometime

We have a little mini break booked at the Sunshine Coast (Mooloolaba) this weekend and I think my poor little heart will need it. Just too much for it in the last few months I'm afraid...

Sorry for the me post that's not really about ttc, but feeling a bit weird at the moment- probably best if I save the persies for when I have my brain back :grouphug:

xx

Toccara--I'm just so devastated for you, I can't stop thinking about you! :hug: I'm just so, so, sorry, hon... I wish I had just the right words to say that would take away your pain, but I know there's little I can say that will help heal your heart right now. Just know you're in my :pray: and PLEASE PM me, or e-mail me if there's anything I can do for you!



Tam--Hope the Menevit helps with DH's little swimmers! Good luck again with your u/s on Friday! :goodluck:



WTH, Chappas, & AJC-- Big :hello: and :hug: to you all!



Angel Chyan--NOOOOOOOOO! I had AF bound and gagged in the closet--how did she get out??? You're really such a trooper about DH's little :sperm: situation--how did he take the 0% news? So sorry to hear about that :( Good luck with the Clomid... hope it works it's magic! *kiss* *kiss* Big hugs... hope you're feeling a little better!



Emmykate--I may have asked you this already, so sorry if it's a repeat question, but have you ever had your hcg levels checked since your m/c to make sure they're coming down? It took mine about 6 weeks to get back to normal, but other's have gone back to normal already by the time they found out they were m/c... the body can be very tricky in still feeling like it's pg due to the hormones that are still present. Wishing you a speedy BFP!! :hug:

joey--Good luck with today's BT!! :pink-babydust:



Leyza--Sending you all my best wishes for your u/s today! I know it's difficult to stay off your feet, especially with 3 kids... but so important for your little bub--so it's worth it! Take care, hon! :hug:



plc--What a nice compliment, thank you! :hug: I did read quite a bit of Nancy Drew when I was younger, and have since become a self-proclaimed super-sleuth! My poor kids and DF can't get away with anything--I have eyes in the back of my head! :lol: Glad to hear your OB appt went well, and that your thyroid is all on track! :cheer:



fifi--Ouch! Sorry to hear about your twisted pelvis! Hope that can do something to alleviate your pain! :hug:



Krystie Chyan--So A is writing a book, huh? I want my charts in a book, too! :lol: How long does she want you to continue temping? Missed you in chat this am! Give little Chyan a big bellyrub from me!! *kiss*



jenushka--Aww, hon, I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandma! :hug: My condolences to you and your family... You deserve your little mini break, I truly hope you enjoy it! You're always in my thoughts!

Ruthie--:goodluck2: with today's u/s!!! My thoughts and :pray: are with you!!



Van--So are you feeling like :sperm: met egg yesterday??? I'm keeping my :crossfingers:



Hey smi!! It's hump day! Hope you're doing well! :hug:



mollycat--:hello: I'm going to look for today's temp to make sure you're thermometer isn't stuck!! lol... :hug:

Joey-I wish you luck on your progesterone draw I hope numbers are high & strong. Also, Hope You get your BFP this cycle as well. Keep us posted with numbers.

jenushkaI'm So sorry darling that your grandma passed away! I know its going to be hard for awhile losing someone close to you like that. I have you and your family in my prayers.

Jen & Krystie - thermometer isn't stuck - it's obviously broken - temp took a nose dive this morning. :(, headaches moved in, so I guess AF's not far behind :wall: I was starting to feel really hopeful and if I had some p sticks here I would have POAS a couple of days ago, I just never think to buy any and put away.

I'll be back later to catch up properly Dotty the dog is waiting at the door to go for a walk.:hug:

mollycat - :hug:

Hi Ladies
We had the u/s today and bubba is hanging in there. Phew! We seen the little heart beat flickering away and it felt really good. It was hard though too, seeing one little bubba, knowing we have lost two in May, it's a bit like the world's not quite right. A bit hard to explain. We are very grateful, happy and relieved that all is on track. Bubba is measuring about 3 days out, which the lady didn't seem too concerned about. So I am about 5 weeks and 5 days instead of 6 weeks today. Also a good thing is that it has implanted high in my uterus. The heart rate was 110 bpm, which apparently is normal for this gestation age, so we were happy to hear that too. But I am going to google it just to check what I can find out about heart rates. My GP doesn't even know I'm pregnant yet, she will sure find out in a few days when all these results are sent her way.
Thanks for all you prayers...I will rest up now for a few days, so I try to catch up on personals later.

plc - Yay for your great thyroid levels! Did you get to see bubs at your ob appointment again?

Fifi - I hope you back is feeling better!

Jenushka - Oh honey! So sorry to hear about your grandmother! :( I'm really glad it was peaceful and that she was surrounded by loved ones, but sad nonetheless :hug: The mini break sounds like a good idea. Just make sure you take care of your self.

Jen - Everytime someone writes to rub my belly, I really and truly do it! I really wanted to come into chat, but the weird insomia I had last pregnancy has come back again. I have trouble falling asleep, and then I'm awake again at 3.30am and wake every 20-30 minutes after that! I thought pregnant ladies were meant to sleep MORE?!

Angel - I'm still cursing AF! I don't like to swear, but she got a few choice words out of me this month!!! :hug: I hope your FS has a great plan!

Mollycat - No way!! Ok, time to chuck that thermometer. I refuse to beleive it!!! Please no AF, please please please!!!

Leyza - Oh wow, you saw the heartbeat already? How fantastic! I'm very glad that all is on track for you!

I got stabbed again today. Results might be in tonight, but obs office said to call tomorrow, so I'll just have to be patient *sigh* Patience is not one of my best qualities!

Leyza - just fantastic I cannot wait for that day myself, just to see the sticky bean and hear the heartbeat, I never got to hear or see that myself with my m/c.

sorry gals am off to pick up hubby so will try and read all your threads tommorrow so can catch up on everything ...rushing out the door now........its pouring rain here in the tropical north so not looking forward to the long drive home to the beaches......lots of babydust and stickyvibes to you all....and Toccara still thinking of you at this time...rest up and get hubby to give you a nice massage or foot massage or something special to help you through this time...my thoughts are with you....

Tam - make sure you update us on how your u/s goes tommorrow!!! goodluck...

Jen805 and Ruthie and all the other lovelies....lots a hugs......stickyvibes etc....(now Im rambling...Im going....)



anyway must go ....love to all and goodluck with your BFP's!!

KL - Glad to hear I'm not the only lop-sided one. Must be the moon or something :lol: it's my right one too! I like the way you said you got 'stabbed'. I certainly did today too!

PLC - Thanks so much. Soooooooooooo happy to hear that everything is great with you!

Fifi - Hope you're feeling better soon. Glad to hear that you got a nice massage.

Jenushka - :comfort: Sorry to hear about your grandma. I hope you have a nice relaxing weekend. Take care

Jen - Thanks

Babyfever - I think you did a bit too much hoping for me ... they are very high and strong!! :lol:

Leyza - That's fantastic news. :clap:

AFM - Went to get my BT this morning. Had a trainee. I think it must have been her first day. Over the last few months, I have had an uncountable number of BT's, so it really doesn't phase me any more. I also have a pretty good idea on how they do it. Normally, they come from below and jab up the arm. This lady started coming straight at me, if anything pointing down the arm. It hurt like nothing else!! It felt like she had just jabbed me with a hot poker, and then the back of my hand went really hot. I had to dig my nails into my skin so I could feel some other pain. She was terrible. And get this ... just before she put it in, she said "you'll just feel a little sensation". Sensation? Geez!! Normally they say "a little sting" or a "little pr!ck". Perhaps she knew it would be worse than a little sting and so she's chosen the word 'sensation' to describe the 'hot poker' feeling!! It felt like she was taking the blood from my elbow!! ANYWAY, enough winging ... She said the results would be in by 2pm, so to call after 2pm. So I called, of course, at 1.45pm. Not in yet. Then again at 2.45pm. Not in yet. Then again at 4pm. YAY they're in! My progesterone was at 66 :wtf: and my hCG was negative. I am not too concerned about my -ve hCG as I am only 7DPO. Doc said to re-test at 10DPO cause he is "interested to see what my progesterone will look like at 10DPO". But we're going up the coast this weekend, and there are no SN pathology open up there on a Sunday, so I'll just have to wait till 11DPO, Monday. Doc says that hCG should be registering at 10DPO, so I'll have all my fingers and toes crossed for Monday's result. So what's the deal with my progesterone? I didn't think to ask doc on the phone. I was a bit phased and in a "so when can I test again" frame of mind. Has anyone heard of such a high progesterone? :dunno: I have a graph here, and that's what it's supposed to be at 22 weeks pregnant! I also got this info off the net... Unusually high progesterone levels in the blood may indicate that the lady could give birth to twins or more. At the same time, this could also signify a molar pregnancy. A molar pregnancy happens when there are some abnormalities in the fertilized egg during conception. The fertilized egg either never develops into an embryo (complete mole) or develops abnormally and can't survive (partial mole). I don't particularly want twins, but if I have to choose one over the other, bring on the twins! Any other suggestions of why my progesterone might be so high?? :help: Please?? :doh:

Take care girlies.

Mannie - Drive carefully!! :)

Joey - I've been googling the prog level stuff, and the only other thing I seem to find is that it can sometimes be caused if you release more than one egg. That's probably why it's related to twin births too. Hey, maybe you just released on big fat egg that's all set to fertilise and implant! :D


AFM - Weird story for you all! And I mean WEIRD!!! I was at work today and had a client and her mother on the other side of the front desk. I was discussing the clients puppy with her (he was hit by car and we repaired his hip) and the lady was mid-sentence when her mother suddenly reached out her hand towards me and says "I don't mean to cause offence... but are you pregnant?". OMG I was so thrown! I went totally red and told her yes, but it's very early and how did she know? I thought maybe I'd been eating too many chockie biscuits but her words were "I could see it in your face. I can read things in people". I was stunned, and her daughter was a little stunned too. I wasn't upset or anything though... just amazed. She then tells us that her mother was the same. Then she goes "Oh! And it's going to be a girl!". Oh my!!! It was so surreal! I mean, it's not like she must go around saying that to random girls that are not obviously pregnant, because the odds are she'll be wrong most of the time, LOL! I think in my shock I said something about me just wanting this baby to be ok, and she told me "honey, everything is going to be fine. Just take care of yourself and don't work too hard". I'm still in total shock. Is it strange that I actually found comfort in her words? :o

Gosh girls, i'm only gone for one day and i have pages of posts to read through to catch up on everyone's goss!

Leyza: Great to hear your good results of the US. Get plenty of rest and make sure someone is looking after you. Tonnes of:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: coming your way. Keep thinking positive!

KrystieLove: congrats are also in order. Thinking :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: for you.

Joey123: Dunno much about progesterone levels but go with your gut instinct. If you feel preg then perhaps you are in tune with your body. Lots of women 'just know' when they get pregnant. Hopefully you will have more to report with your next beta-hCG.

Toccara: Hope you are doing ok today. Have been thinking of you and will continue to :pray: for you at this sad time.

Jen805: I have no idea what is going on with my body or what to expect. On 23/8 my beta-hCG was 2100 i think. By 25/8 it was 500 (that was the day i physically miscarried) and on the 28/8 it was 200. Havent had it checked since. The last 2 days i have had the WORST nausea to the point where i cant pat my dogs :crying: because their smell makes me want to throw up. Half of me thinks it is wishful thinking... particularly as it is soooo early since my m/c... but the other of half of me feels pregnant. I can't explain it. I dont think there is any value in doing a home pg test in the meantime cos i dont think it will show anything... and i am a little embarassed to go back to the GP cos she told me to wait another cycle before TTC again :redface:

Emmykate82: there is always i hope. I had a D&C on the 09th July, we started TTC straight away, only a week after. I'm now 7 weeks pregnant with our little bub, hoping everything is ok. I had (Still do) have bad nausea. I just "knew" that i was. my doc told me that there was a good chance it may still be traces of the previous pregnancy, but i knew it a was another miracle and i was pregnant.

I had my BT done and my HCG levels just kept rising and rising. My Doc wouldnt give in to the fact i was pregnant until i had a san at 5 weeks and saw that tiny little heart beat! :dance:

There is always hope. Go back to your doc and ask for a BT! it will put your mind at rest. :hug:

mollycat--Sorry about your temp drop... :( I just realized that I never put my protective force field around you this month! :doh: I'm saying mega :pray: that AF will fall of the face of the earth! :hug:

Hi,

Well I just got home from work (2am) 12hr shifts can feel so long sometimes. Especially as all I can think about is my u/s. I should be in bed trying to get some sleep as my u/s is at 10am but I am sooo nervous. Thank you all for your support.

KL & Chyan :goodluck2:with you blood test results today hope it all goes well.

Leyza Congratulations on your u/s glad to hear everything is okay :dance:

Jenushka Sorry to hear about your grandmother but comforting to see that she died surrounded my the ones she loves. Hope you have a great time on your break.

Ruthie Hope everything went well with your u/s looking forward to reading the good news :goodluck2:


Jen Thanks for the goodluck I will let you know the results when I get home.

Well it is now 2.30am I better try and get some sleep so I understand what they say during the scan.

Goodnight hope you are all having wonderful dreams.

Jen - so it's all your fault :p LOL. Now i'll have to walk around all day saying "it's jen's fault, she forgot to put up the "force field". Just don't forget again. Really hoped that AF would have stayed away this month, it's our wedding anniversary next weekend, that would have been a lovely present, it's also the first anniversary of our friends death so something positive to look on would have been great. There's obviously a grand plan out there somewhere for us (just wish I knew what it was).

Krystie - hope the pups owner was right for you :babygirl: we'll have to start buying pink balloons to decorate the PAML thread. (that's if PLC has left any in the shops, maybe she's already decorated it).

PLC - thanks for your hug yesterday - I really needed it, I was feeling a little fragile all day. I really wanted to take the day off and spend it cleaning my house (sad huh), but I soldiered on and worked instead.
