Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ September 2010

Matthews mum - The headaches are less frequent now, and go away on their own so that's a good thing. Now it's the restless legs though. Dang! Do you think you'll go ahead with the acupuncture??

Clairesmummy - Yes, I managed to get the 'dregs' of the lollies.. haha. He ate all the good ones!! Hopefully your vitamins are kicking in by now and you've got a better shot this month. Oh and good luck with your bt results :) I also hope that dang spotting goes away and never comes back! How frustrating.

Kellie - I think the fear fades a bit.... but I don't think it ever goes away. I got all panicky reading a baby book and thinking about all the stuff we have to get done before bubby arrives... *hyperventilates* lol. It's a whole new kind of fear now!

Reet - The white knickers thing made me giggle a little bit. Mum always said to me 'don't wear white, it's tempting fate'. :) And yes, I can shop for clothes with DP at the moment. Usually he's uninterested, but this time he was all excited because we're trying to clothe a belly. :) He never has an opinion on what's good or not, he just kind of stands there and pulls the wallet out at the appropriate time. How did you go at your scan, hun??

Glenglen - Same for you: how was the scan? Everything a-ok?

AFM - I think I had a major attack of the nesting instinct yesterday.... lol. DP did, too! We got all crazy and tore the house apart cleaning and tidying and re-assigning usages of different furniture. We even dismantled the 'office' and it's ready to be a nursery. So I'm sitting out in the dining room on my new improved 'half a desk' and kind of putting off putting away that massive pile of laundry. My feet were so sore after our cleaning bonanza, my ankles were starting to swell up and I was just like 'I'M OUT!' We kept it up from 2-7pm. Looking forward to hearing about how glenglen and reet's scans went.... FX all was good. I'm heading to the drs tonight to hear the hb. :) Please still be a hb little bubby... I'm feeling confident, but there's still that tiny bit of worry there. Wish me luck!

afternoon ladies...

clairesmummy....good luck with ur catching the eggie.....i hope this is ur month

glenglen and reet....howd ur scabs go

kellbell....how u going with the bleeding and pains

mathews mum...how u going

atm......well i got my bloods back and he said everything looks good and im healthy..he said my hormones were low but that could be because i had started my period when i booked test...he didnt give me depression tablets..thankgod..and said the tiredness is probably from me grieving and if it got worse to come back........i have booked hubby and i into a hotel for two nights around o....and the skids are going to there mums for a week.....yippeeeeeeee so hopefully i will be relaxed and positive and happy....and maybe this will be our month........

Forshelby- Good luck with your appointment tonight darl, can't wait to hear all about it. I'm sure bub is growing very well for you and you will get to hear the adorable little bumpity bump of bubs HB tonight. Let us know how you go please.........

yah my baby has a heartbeat of 122 bpm and is 7mm long and i just wanted to lay on that bench for hours looking at the little squidgy peanut pulsing away !!!

so happy and relieved. i know we have a long way to go but ... so far so good :) :) :)

the OB said i was measuring 6w4d which is spot on with my dates so i felt very clever and exact LOL.
it was fantastic for my DH to see it too and i think it's made it a bit more real for him. i asked the OB what chances of MC were now that we've seen a heartbeat and he said about 5%... yippee!

Now how on earth am i meant to go back to work without grinning like an idiot??

i told a GF on the weekend (who knows about my previous MC) so i got to share the good news with her and i'm glad i have someone else to share my obsessing with (other then my poor DH) - she has had conception issues so i'm glad i decided to let her in and can talk to her about it all.

Reet - waiting to hear from you ... all my FX crossed for you darl.
forshelby - GL for tonight, exciting !!
Mel - great news about your blood results and i love your idea of getting away for a few days to make a baby :)

CONGRATS GLENGLENWonderfu lwonderful news.....WOOHOO
Now just have to wait and hear how Reet went and then Forshelby, I'm bursting at the sides here waiting to hear all the great news. Just so excited for all of you lovely PG ladies.......:dance:

Melster - LOL... typo! Scabs Skids? hehe.... thanks for the chuckle. Great to hear you're healthy and well. And hooray for a little trip away! Enjoy it and good luck!

Clairesmummy - I'm nervous, but I can't wait. :) Will keep you posted!

Glenglen - AWESOME results!! Your bubby is bigger than mine was at 7wks, so that's got to be a good thing. And HB is higher than mine was then, too! :) Good luck with the stifling of the idiot grin, lol. Hooray for telling your friend, too. Wonderful to be able to share, isn't it?

glenglen.....congratulations on ur scan.....so happy...

forshelby......damn typos......lol lol.....although skids....is my step kids.....

Melster - LOL... ohhhhhh. :redface: That makes sense, doesn't it. I love it, actually. Little skidlets. :) I'm lmao now.... I swear as my belly gets bigger my brain gets smaller.

thanks ladies. so nice that you all care.

my DH called it "our baby" for the first time and it made me so happy :)

yah GlenGlen how exciting! So happy for you
I hope your scan went well too Reet

Where are you Mum22 havent see you in here in ages

Hi to everone else im stuffed and off to bed thinking of you all

Hi All!
Just a quickie from me.. been at my mums for dinner tonight and its late..gotta get myself too bed!

Scan went GREAT! Baby is measuring 3 days bigger then last scan 2 wks ago.. Yay! So all looking fantastic.

2 weeks til 12 week scan.. counting down the days! :)

Be back tomoro xxx

Kellie - I'm starting to worry about Mum22, haven't seen her in ages.

Reet - Yaaaaay!! Great news, hun. Nothing better than seeing your little bubby on screen wiggling around :)

AFM - My appt went well last night. We got to hear the hb, which was really amazing. My dr said he was also picking up movement with the doppler. At first it took him a little bit to find the hb because bubby was so active. hehe.... In other news, my bp was quite high (150), so I got to pee in a cup (oh hooray for that) but there was no protein in my um.. cup LOL so all is ok for now. Before I left he did my bp again and it was down to 130 so we put it down to being anxious about hearing baby's hb. Still it's got me slightly on guard, wondering if there are any things I can do to lower my bp? What happens if it's too high? Do they put me in hospital? it's WAY too early for that!! Not freaking out too much right now though, just wondering aloud.

Hi Ladies!

I did a bit of stalking and mum22's profile has had activity today.. so mum22 if ur reading pls come say hi!! Dont just disappear on us! Hope everything is going ok. xx

Glenglen- Yay for having a heartbeat and measuring exactly what u thought!! How exciting!! How long do u have to wait now til ur next scan??

Melster- Excellent that u have booked a room for O time.. sounds perfect :) now u just gotta make sure u O on those 2 days! Nah im sure when ur all relaxed ur body will co-operate with u :)

Forshelby- Hmmm i know nothing about bp.. they always check mine but never comment. Have u one some googling research?? But yeah i dont think u shld worry too much, surely ur dr wld have said if he was really concerned.. ? Excellent that u finally heard that little heart beating.. How exciting! Bet it sounded like it was going at a hundred miles per hour! So is ur next scan the 20 week one?? Wow u will be halfway! :)

Clairesmummy- No more spotting? I have heard of O spotting.. wen the egg is released it can cause bleeding, but im not really sure what cld have been going on since u hadnt even Oed yet.. hhmm i think ur hormones just must be out of whack.. and dont i know all about that!! My body in the past has driven me insane! Not long now til day 19 :)

Kell- How are u going?? What date are u booked in for ur 12 week scan?? Im thinking i will do mine on the 11th Oct.. i so cant wait!!

I dont think i have missed anybody but if i have sorry! A big hello to u too!! :)

AFM- Im thinking i better tell my parents soon.. my mum told me yesterday that my dad has been ringing her and saying that he thinks im depressed.. i have lost my spark apparently! I better tell them soon that im actually pregnant, very very tired, sick and get grumpy very very easily! Gosh i dont want ppl to think im depressed! Im far from it! :) DH gets back tomoro til monday so we might start telling family in the next few days.. altho i still think i wld rather wait another couple weeks.. just so once we tell family we can then tell everyone.. But who knows.. guess we will just do it when the time is right! :)
I am so tired right now.. i have got turtles to feed, washing to hang up, dishwasher to stack, pool to clean, lawn to mow, and really cant be bothered doing any of it!! I better do the first 3 things tho and im thinking i might just leave the other 2 for dh to do on the weekend.. great idea! Off to the beach in an hour for a bbq so i better get my ass moving!

Reet - I think you should tell your parents. :) They'll be so pleased. You're a trooper getting any housework done! I've been hopeless lately. I guess you're right, the dr would have told me if he was worried, but after the first bp reading he said it was quite high, and wanted me to do a urine test. When that came back all ok, and my bp was 130 the second time he was ok with that. I think he'll be keeping an eye on it though. He asked if the hospital had gotten back to me yet and I said no. He said that was ok too, so I'm hoping they call me soon! And hooray for being halfway in just over 3 weeks.... scary actually. My 20 week scan is the next one, yes. :o time is flying. Enjoy your bbq, and let me know how your parents react to the news when you do tell them. Exciting!! :)

I thought you ladies might be able to help me.

I'm wondering how long it took you to fall pregnant again?

How many cycles? I haven't had a cycle at all yet but I'm wondering if af will just come back. .. How long did it take for you to get back to normal and ttc again.

I hope to be joining you all in the future

Hi Mum2romone.. im so sorry that u have had to pop in here :( without this thread i think i wld have gone insane tho.
I took 5 months to fall again.. but only really 2 cycles.. my hormones have been an absolute mess since going off the pill last may.. i think i got 2 afs in 7 months last year.. fell pg on the 2nd one.. and then this year after m/c it took 3.5 months for af to come.. i ended up having to take progesterone pills to bring it on.. but like i said my body was stuffed! I havent heard of anyones elses not co-operating like mine. I reckon give it 4-6 weeks for ur next cycle to arrive.. if its any longer get a hormone check.. cos it was awful having to wait and wait when all i wanted to do was start ttc again.
Good luck.. I hope it happens swiftly for u once ur ready xxx

Forshelby- haha housework?? what housework??! i didnt end up doing any of it! i stuck the clothes in the dryer (so bad of me!) and the dishes are still piled up in the sink waiting to be put in the dishwasher.. im so lazy! No motivation whatsoever!
Oh and i REALLY have to tell my parents VERY soon! Found out tonight that mum has booked a cruise for april the 21st for 9 days.. OH NO!!! Im due on the 27th! Being the first grandchild i dont think she wld miss it either.. as soon as ryan gets back tomoro we are going to have to spread the word.. hopefully she can change the dates.. oops!! Her and her partner are going with my auntie and uncle.. who i know wld want to fly up for the birth too.. golly gosh.. what have i done!! haha Oh well it will all work out. I will be sure to tell u all about there reactions :)
So when are u seeing ur dr next?? oh and what is the hospital calling u about again?? sorry i know u have said.. im having a forgetful moment!

Nite all!

Morning ladies...

It's so quiet on here!!!!!!!!!

Were is mum 22, has anyone heard from her??? is she ok?

MumtoRomone..i had a d&C and lucky enough for me i had my period back in 28 days....and had no bleeding after d&c...this is my third cycle, this last one i think i might have ovulated late and had my period 4 days late and its a little heavier than normal. Im assuming its just getting it self back into order again. Heres to a lucky mth...how long have you been waiting for you'res?

ATM....i think im feeling quiet stressed about this whole TTC thing and the miscarriage, i think i am trying to be strong but my body is reacting instead, restless, clenching my jaw, moody, and really REALLY tired all the time..i have no energy for anything and cant concentrate on any thign else.

So i am looking forward to my step kids going to there mums for a WHOLE week and having some alone time with hubby...maybe then i will relax..and its right on TTC time so its perfect....no having to be quiet and not being able to run around in the nudie!!! LOL LOL .....were staying at the hotel Sunday and monday...so i think it will be day 10, 11, 12 but even if i dont o then, it wont be far off and hopefully i will be really relaxed...

Forshelby- WooHoo for your DR appointment the other night, all sounds great darl. Don't stress about your BP darl, they would of been checking for protein in your P darl high blood pressure and protein can be a sign of pre-eclampsia but I'm not telling you this to scare you darl so please don't stress. DR will keep a close eye on it for you and you may have lots of peeing in cups darl. I got P.E towards the very end of my PG with DD they induced me at 37 weeks as I was starting to have liver failure so they say...lol...Nothing to really stress about darl, just take it easy and try I say try cause I know how hard it is but do try not to get stressed out to much darl. Just kick back and enjoy the ride. I hope I'm not scaring the hell out of you with this darl, tell me to be hushed if you feel the need. Long story short if your DR aint worried neither should you be.
Reet- WooHoo for the scan darl, fabulous news. Can't wait to read what your parents say about you being PG darl, bet they will be over the moon for you and DH. And NO MORE SPOTTING for me.....woohoo....only happened the once and that was it, I will be asking my DR about it on Tuesday when I go in there again.
Mum2Romone- So sorry to hear of your loss darl, sending you huge hugs and we look forward to getting to know you in here I'm just sorry it's not over better circumstances darl. I had my MC back in April of this year and AF returned to me 18 days after my last day of bleeding. DR told me to wait until August/September before we started TTC again to give my body time to heal, we started trying a few weeks earlier at the end of July and I'm still waiting for my BFP. But I'm sure that is because I have a few hormone issues, I get my BT results next week to see if they confirm my suspicions. I'm currently taking Vitamin B6 to try to help lengthen my LP as it's never been longer than 5-9days.
Melster- Good luck with O time.
Mum22- We are all waiting anxiously to hear from you again, I tried to PM you but your mailbox was full darl, hope everything is all good with you and bub darl.
Be back later to do a all about me post.....lol.....
