Hi all,
Have no news to report, still waiting, but just wanted to send lots of love to everyone struggling at the moment, I'm reading up on you all!
Hello to everyone,
sorry I haven't posted since my first and only but I have been a little busy planning my wedding- very exciting. Aside from that, I am still waiting fro this m/c to pass naturally. I have had mild cramping, spotting and bleeding for the last week but nothing that seems like it's really happening. I have to ring my Ob tomorrow and see if I should have a D&C. If it's going to pass naturally, I would prefer that, but it's already been a few weeks since we found out that it was a missed m/c and I don't want it to get to close to the wedding.
TwoMums- I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. There are just no words that really help in a situation like that. All I can say is that he can now look after you and your baby that will arrive. He is also with your little angels :) i know it's not the same thing, but my Nan passed away when i found out I was pregnant the first time and I believe she is with my two.
Satya- What can I say?! It's unfair that this happened to you again. I hope that you can stay positive and luck comes your way ASAP :goodluck: Have you seen the website for the miscarriage Association in the UK? There are some stories on there from women who have m/c a few times that I find quite inspiring.
Kiwigirl- I hope your bleeding stops soon. That's why I need to have a D&C ASAP if nothing happens NOW because I don't want to bleed for too long after as there are only 3 weeks till my wedding. How are you coping with the loss though? I hope it's getting a little easier each day. I had someone congratulate me only today. "when's the baby due?" she asked after the congratulations which I thought were for the wedding. Ooops. She was a little embarassed but it's not her fault. We told so many people but obviously missed a few. I'm coping Ok now, I just want it out so I can focus on the wedding properly.
LizJessie- Have you set a wedding date yet?
Hi to everyone else and super good luck to everyone on their 2WW :pray:
Ems
ems - nope, not yet, but we're planning around the same time as he proposed to me next year - so between July and October
satya I hope that today went a lot better than yesterday did.
kiwigirl it is really hard having to deal with pregnancies of people that you know, it just makes you realise how much you miss you baby and how you long to be pg again.
Penny good on you for having a few glasses of wine, onwards and upwards with the new cycle hey!
Nexttime sounds promising, there are certainly a lot of charts on FF that have fertile CM after O that have turned into bfp's. When do you think you will test?
Kerry how are you going?
Hi to everyone else I missed.
As for me, I am 4dpo today and this afternoon I have been getting mild cramping and I think I had some watery CM. See, I can't help myself, I have only just O'd and already I am starting to obsess over my symptoms, I am hopeless LOL
LoL Sharon - I've O'ed 3 days ago now and because we didn't DTD, I know I've missed out for this cycle, but I'm not worried because there's always next cycle and I'm getting over the M/C I had in June
Hi All-
Finally got some time to check in!
Leyla, Shoegal & Megsmum: Congrats! What wonderful news to return to! Wishing you great success (and some relaxation!) in the coming months
Dawnee, Junebug, Ems, Laui59: Welcome. So sorry for the events that led you to be here but I hope you find the comfort and support here you are looking for. May your stay be short and your departure be a joyous victory!
Satya: I’m sorry your first day back at work was a tough one. I hope each day gets a bit easier for you and that you’re back in the saddle (er, so to speak ;) ) before you know it. I truly admire your ‘no time to waste’ attitude so soon after your loss. These things always send me into a hole of despair it takes me so long to dig my way out of – and it takes my poor DH even longer to climb out of the hole I throw him in each time too. That I’ve seen, every gal in here is amazingly courageous and I feel good to be able to draw such strength from this group.
Treelo: This goes back about 2 threads now but just wanted to say congrats for your DS’s hat-trick. That’s wonderful! Sounds like he’s quite the little athlete!
TwoMums: My deepest condolences for your dad. I hope you are finding the support you need to get through this most difficult of times.
Pash: I hope things are moving forward for you quickly so you can get past all this hardship and finally move on with things.
Ems & LizJessie: Congrats on your upcoming nuptials!
Sharon: Good to see you back again!
Hello to everyone I missed! It’s amazing how fast this thread moves and if you’re out for a bit, there’s so much to catch up on!
As for me, according to my little O tester, I Oed Aug 1 so I’m hoping my first AF since m/c will show up in the next week or so. I seriously considered TTC at my first O but my DH would have said it was too soon and I didn’t have the energy to argue w/ him. At least now I can say I’ve passed the recommended wait time. I am still up and down a lot (down a lot on vacation) but more up than down now I think which is an improvement. My DD turned 1 on Aug 3. Mostly happy times save for I would have been at week 12 which is a bummer. But as soon as AF shows up, I will start with my little tester and try again. My hat is off to you gals who can temp. I guess I’m just not disciplined enough. But I found FF before my last pg in May and b/t my tester and checking my uterus position which I learned about there, it worked. I have hopes it will work again (although I’d like a *sticky* one this time please!!) :pray:
Oh yeah - maybe you discussed this before I joined but I was just wondering...has anyone heard of the study showing that eating a serving of full-fat ice cream twice a week is good for your reproductive system and that if you're TTC you should partake? I heard this a while back and I was wondering if this is something any of you are giving a go? I am definitely on-board this train! I mean, what better excuse is there to eat the good stuff?? :D
Here's an article on it from WebMD:
http://www.webmd.com/baby/news/20070...st-infertility
Oh yes - Congrats on the wedding Ems! Is it hard work planning it all??
Sorry hardly any time for personals, but will do a few. Got to get to work.
Sweetpetite - I have to have that attitude as I am 41 and time is running out very fast. At my age I have a 50/50 chance with each pregnancy so I just have to keep going. Yes I've been doing the icecream thing for about two cycles now I think. I do believe it could have helped as the 1st pg took 3 years, the second 9 months, the 3rd 4 & a bit months (5 cycles) and it was the only thing I was doing different in that cycle.
Ems -thanks for the website. Right now I'm over inspirational stories.... it's always happening for someone else and not for me.... I might check it out when I feel in the right mood for it.
Kiwigirl - I know exactly how you feel - :wall:
Twomums - my gyno has a special interest in fertility and an endoscopic surgeon so I should already be in good hands. Due to my age and history he didn't want to muck around and said lap then IVF. I've written him a letter to see if he'll give clomid a go while I'm waiting for the lap and I'll see what he says.
Hi to everyone else.
:)
Work was far better as my insensitive workmate wasn't at work as she was tired. I wonder if she has even thought about how exhausted I am at the moment with everything I've been through and the lack of sleep I've endured.
I think I will just wait for my lap (still no date yet) and then get serious after that. I will see if I can get a couple of goes at clomid and have written a letter to my gyno asking him if he thinks its appropriate and if he thinks it could be I will book another appointment. He is very expensive and I don't want to waste the money just to ask that question. I also wanted to make him aware of the most recent m/c in case that might make a difference to my category in the waiting list.... doubt it will though. I really don't think he wants me to have any treatment though until after the lap as he thinks I will keep m/c until things are dealt with.... but he could be wrong.
Anyway better get to work.
Satya - Hope you are feeling a bit better now, at least your awful workmate wasn't there! I reckon its worth at least asking the question about Clomid because you just never know. I was filled with negativity about using it when it was first raised as an option a couple of months ago and wondered why I should think it would work for me, but it worked first cycle. I soooo hope you get a BFP soon!
sweetpetite - hope AF shows for you soon! That's good that you are more up than down now - I found that my DD was a very good distraction in the early days. It was just when she was not around that I had time to get down about it :(
Sharon - LOL about obsessing at symptoms! It is so hard not too! If its any help, I reckon I started to get my first symptoms at about 8 or 9 DPO. I hope this is your month :crossfingers: All the best
ems - hope you have fun planning your wedding - I really enjoyed planning mine :) I hope you don't have to have that D&C :(
las - hi, hope you are going OK?
Nexttime - I'm not real sure about your temps, but I had increased CM after O this cycle that I fell pregnant. The only difference in my temps were that they were very stable after O, but that could have been due to the Clomid - I don't know. Good luck!
Penny - all the best for TTC this month!
kiwigirl - I'm sorry you are feeling so low :( I hope things start to look up for you soon
treelo - sorry to hear you got a BFN :( I hope AF shows for you soon and good luck for next month
Kerry - hope you had a good couple of days away from your computer!
Hi to everyone I've missed, hope you are all well.
Well, I am now officially pregnant, due on 15th April 2008. I got my blood test results back a couple of days ago, HCG 595, progesterone 120. My ob was really happy with the numbers phew! See Kerry, I couldn't wait in the end! LOL Actually I rang my GP a couple of days ago and couldn't get in until the end of next week (!!) - by the time I got bloods done and got the result off them I would have been waiting until early the week after! I would have gone nuts! So I thought blow that and rang my ob - God love him he did the request form for pathology within a couple of hours and I went and picked it up and had the bloods done straight away. I have also booked in with him for a scan in 4 weeks time - I'll be 8 weeks along by then.
Anyway, I am still feeling a bit stressed and worried, but the blood results have helped ease my worries a little. Am doing a fair bit of knicker checking LOL but at least it is Friday today and DH will be around along with my DD to help distract me over the weekend. I just have to keep telling myself to take it one day at a time!
Have a lovely weekend everyone :)
Ems - I'm sorry you are still waiting for your loss to complete :( What date is your wedding (sorry, I'm a bit behind).
Sharon - Good luck sweetie! Hope your wait goes quickly for you! Will be waiting anxiously with you!
Sweetpetite - Hope AF shows up for you on time, good luck for this upcoming cycle!
Satya - Glad work wasn't too bad for you, maybe waiting for the lap is the best idea, after I had my 4th one, I conceived within 3 months....with just Clomid and had DS :) Hope you are looking after yourself.
Megsmum - Congratulations! Those numbers are amazing!!! Wishing you a very H&H few months!!
Hi to everyone else.
I've decided to take a break for the rest of the year. This loss has hit harder than I thought, I'm still getting HCG readings anyway and I just don't feel like my body is ready to cope with another round of IVF as yet (nor is my mind). Will keep popping in to check up on everyone and offer support to you all.
xx
megsmum - congrats on those fantastic BT results. I would've been over the moon if I got results like that but because they were so low I knew all was not well. You are due a day after I would have been had things continued. I now have two dates to not look forward to 19/11/07 & 14/04/08. I hope the next date I get is one I get to look forward to all the way through.
Workmate's not here again today... so she can't say anything to upset me yay!!!
Las - I'm also thinking that seeing I've had 3 m/c without a D&C after any of them maybe it will be a good idea to have a good cleanout anyway and that will be happening along with the lap. It sounds like a break is the best idea for you for now.
I have to get back on the straight and narrow from today. I've been drinking coffee, eating whatever I like and not worrying about my vitamins since the m/c and it's time to put a stop to it. Time to get serious again. In the last month I'd lost 2.5 kilos and I will put it back on if I keep this up. I have way too much wait on me and I can't help but think that it could be contributing to the m/c's.
Hi girls
Satya, i'm so sorry to find you in here again. i just don't don't what to say, there seems to be way too much bad news around at the moment. i wish you lots of luck and will be lurking hoping to see a BFP soon.
After my m/c, it took a while for my temps to come back down (although keep in mind my HCG levels were prob a bit higher). My m/c chart is the top one here. I also have/had short LPs, usually around 11 days, sometimes 12, and occasionally below 10. I've heard of lots of things to extend them, but ask your doc for their advice. I found mine stabilised at around 11 days once i started taking blackmores preg & bf tabs last october.
Pash, it's good to hear from you. i'm really happy you've got what sounds like a great job, but sorry about your treatment.
sorry, i just don't know what to say. good luck with everything girls.
sweetpetite - Thankyou so much for the congrats :) I didn't see it before
satya - How are you today sweetie?? Sending big :hug: your way
megsmum - Congrats! April is a good month! My b'day is the 20th April ;)
*las* - Completely understandable - I'm sure DS will keep you on your toes and that time will fly for you :)
Hi to everyone else that I missed.
I've been feeling crampy, and I'm so happy! If everything is all ok, I'll be seeing AF in 10 days from now - 20th August, and I did some calculations and if my cycle goes back to how it used to, I'll be O'ing between 1 Sep - 3 Sep
Really excited to get AF because I can then keep track of everything in a journal I've got set up
Hi,
Sharon - thanks for the good luck wishes. i haven't tested yet and am trying to hold off as long as possible. to keep the dream alive ...I have a pretty good feeling now that af is on the way. with the weekend here now it will be difficult to hold out and not test tomorrow morning. so will see how i go..
megsmum - congrats on the bt results and the doctor being very happy with them.
all the best to everyone else :pray:
Hi girls,
Im going to come back later this afternoon and do a nice long list of personal, but for now im a bit rushed as the boys have a bday party to go to. We had a very stessfull night last night as football, Lawson went missing for 20 minutes (longest 20 minutes of my life) and I lost the money to the raffle. But we found Lawson and the money eventually. Im just feeling so stressed and to tell you the truth, i dont know why. Normally i thrive on being the Manager of the team but last night i just kept wanting to burst into tears, like i wanted to curl up in a corner and hide. Im just so teary and flustered. Tomorrow will be 28 days since m/c, so AF should be due?? But i know it could take a while. I did O at the right time. I have sore BB, but have had that for a few weeks now. I just want AF to come so i know the plumbing is working properly. We BD'ed heaps the week of O, but i tested a few times this week and it was BFN, the last test i did was two days ago. So im assuming im not pg, but it may have been too early to test.
I have so much on over the next few weeks, and just thinking about it....makes me cry.
I have to organise a breakup party for about 50 people in total with about $250, Zone carnivals, Football presentatios, school fete and two more bday parties....all in 3 weeks !!!!!!!
And someone brought it to my attention last night that i should wait until Lawson starts playing football in 2 years...then i get double the joy.. I choose to be Manager because i wanted to be apart of what my sons life, but the other uncooperative parents sure make it hard.
Im sorry, this was just all about me this morning, Ill be back this afternooon to do some personals.
Hope everyone is doing well
hugs
treelo
Treelo, what a rotten night you had. Anyone would have been feeling tearful in that situation. You would have been stressed to the back teeth. And big raspberries to the parents who aren't pulling their weight. I hate how some people just take and take and take like they think they're owed it and don't need to do anything to get what they want. Sending you some massive *HUGS*. Is it two weeks since you O'd? I'd do another HPT today. Hope it's a BFP for you and if it's not then I hope AF will get a move on for you so that you can be clear of the first cycle after m/c. :pray:
Good luck with the testing, Nexttime! Stay away AF!
LizJessie, LOL at how excited you are! Hope your cycles are back to normal soon, too.
Hello Clairabel, thanks for posting your charts again for us. Hope you're doing well :D
Satya, hope you have a relaxing weekend. Good on you for getting back on the "straight and narrow". I found it really hard to start being good again. Still haven't lost the weight that I put on in the nearly 12 weeks that I thought I was pg. :(
Las, taking some time out to recover is a good,positive strategy and I hope that your body and your cycles are back to normal soon. Good luck. *hugs*
Megsmum, official congratulations on the official confirmation that you're officially UTD!! Those levels look great :dance: Hope you have a great weekend (stop knicker checking!!) and enjoy every day of the miracle that is pregnancy! :D
Hi there Sweetpetite, won't be long and you'll be back into it. Hope the next one is a sticky one for us all!! Enjoy that ice cream! Yum.
Sharon, you're a couple of days ahead of me on the TWW so I'm watching that symptom list of yours with great interest! BFP X 2, please! :lol:
Ems, oohh, how exciting planning your wedding, hope it's all smooth sailing. How did you go with your Ob? *Good luck*
Hello Penny and everyone else I've missed since I've been away from my computer. Will catch up properly next time!
It was a long two days away, way too much driving! But had a good night's sleep and feeling much better. Now on DPO4 and the past couple of days have had stacks of creamy CM, ewww. Have a good weekend everyone!
:
Kbowman - Yes it will be two weeks tomorrow. If this is going to be a normal cycle
then i would expect AF tomorow. I have always been very regular with my cycle.
I will wait till tomorrow and if AF hasnt come then i will buy a hpt tomorrow afternoon and will do it monday morning. I have had really bad cramps, like AF was coming, all week, but they seem to have gone now, and still no AF..
I hate uncertainty !!!!
i actually thought af had come just before but it was just alot of cm.
hugs
treelo
