TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ July 08 #7

He had no pep talk before hand. Here in the UK they no longer offer 'rooms'.. they ask you to drop it off within 1 hour of producing sample and keep it warm. So half way to the hospital (as its 50 mins from us in the car) is my parents house, who happen to be in Africa right now.. so...
We went to my folks, sorted out their cat who we are looking after and then went to my old room lol... I gave him a hand rofl... it was pretty easy. We then kept it warm and dropped it off... wonder when they will be in touch with results, prob not till Tues when I am in theatre.

Hi Jen - decided to let the doggy bd'ing go this time. I just think it's too close to losing Kelly to make the right decision. Don't know whether I really want to get another dog, and I'd have to argue with DS1 who wants a boy dog (and I don't like boy dogs, especially with all the day care toys in my yard). So we now wait another six months for her to come into season again, and we'll probably breed her then. We sold all her pups last time, but I know that this time we would keep one. :rolleyes: I'd love to stay up and chat, just don't know if this old nanna would be able to stay awake long enough. Bedtimes usually between 8.30pm and 9pm, cause the alarm goes off at 5am. I was wondering if you'd felt the earthquake, that's good that you didn't. You don't need to be close to that. We had one here about 15 years ago (actually we've had two, but I wasn't living here when the first one hit). It was quite scary, we were living in a caravan in the in-laws yard, and the whole thing rolled (not over - just like a wave), I didn't know what was happening.

I'll have to try for Saturday night. DH is going to a boys night with his mates (out at his mates shed) - I make him stay overnight, only cause I refuse to go and collect him in the middle of the night when he's had too much to drink.


Joey - Hope you had a great time at camp with the kids and they didn't give you too hard a time.

:stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: to all our pg friends. :bellyrubs:

:bluedust::pink-babydust: for the TTC'ers. I'd better get back to work. Mr 4 is tormenting Miss 2 (his sister), I'll have to find a distraction.

Jen - FF gives you open circles when it thinks that your temps may be suspect - eg. after a night of broken sleep, or if you take them at a different time to normal. If you're taking them earlier than normal that's probably why :) I would have thought that they'd be lower too though, although when I was charting (not doing it anymore, I am totally over it LOL) I did find that mine were higher during AF than the rest of the cycle. HTH :)

RachelSwirl - :lol: Hope you get a good result.

Hi to everyone else!

Rachel--How convenient is it that your parent's house just happen to be half way to the hospital? And they just happen to be in Africa right now? Looks like everything's working perfectly... hopefully that's a sign of things to come! :crossfingers: Keep us posted on the results!

Hey mollycat, we must've been posting at the same time! Was that this am that you got your coverline? Don't think I remember seeing that there yesterday... :pray: like crazy that you caught that egg!

I think it's probably a good idea to wait on the breeding... you'll know when you're ready for another dog. Puppies are such a big responsibility--- like a baby isn't, huh? :lol: Totally different, though!

Hope you make it to chat on Sat. night! It's beautiful chaos! I was laughing so much this am, Krystie had to warn me not to wake DS! :shhh: :lol:




megsmum--Taking temps at the same time as usual... but it has been warmer at night lately, in fact, I was hot when I went to bed--it's been like that for about a week now. Who knows, maybe FF just doesn't like me! :) Thanks so much for the info! :hug:

Oh sorry Jen, I just assumed that you were taking your temp when waking at 4-5am. Are you waking up then and going back to sleep and taking it at the normal time then? If so, I used to get higher (and erratic) temps when I did that too. It's difficult to decide which time to take your temp when that happens.The hotter nights probably don't help either I'd say. Actually this is the reason I stopped doing temps (not saying you should BTW ;)) it just messed so badly with my sleeping! I'd wake up and then couldn't get back to sleep because I was too worried about getting enough sleep before I had to take my temp :rolleyes: What an idiot hey? LOL But now I'm having cycle tracking for the IUI there's no need to bother yay!

Anyway, better run, got to take DD to a swimming lesson. BRRRR for her, poor love. But for some strange reason she loves it!

I am now on day 6 of cycle, hmm which should mean on tues when I go into theatre Ill be on day 10 so I should be quite fertile, I wonder if Im allowed to ttc straight after or not.

megsmum--Oh, that's ok! It's really funny, actually, because that's exactly what I do! Are you saying I'm an idiot? :p j/k!! :rofl: When I wake up around 4, I start to worry that I won't get enough sleep before 6, which is usually when I get up. Then I have to tell myself to not think about it, because it will keep me awake--sometimes it works and I can just fall back to sleep. But usually I toss and turn until 5:45 or 6 when I finally take my temp. I'm sure it has to have some sort of negative effect--ie erratic/higher temps. Another thing I do which really annoys me is if I wake up and have to go to the loo, as long as it's before 2, I'll get up and go. But if it's 2 or after, I'll make myself hold it so as not to ruin my temp! :rolleyes: But the lame thing about it is that if I hold it, I don't sleep as well, and end up tossing and turning anyways! :doh: It really does mess with my sleeping, but I'm addicted! :lol:



Rachel--Maybe you should check with the dr. first to make sure it's safe... Did you say your lap/dye were on Monday?

Hi All,

Just a very quick post before I head off to the snow

Have a great few days - I wont be back online until next Wed :o

It will probably do me good to not focus on all this for awhile, DH and I have commenced BD every second day as ov should pop along over the coming week.

Hopefully it will be warm enough for the :sperm: to survive

Anyway :hug::pink-babydust::bluedust::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgir l:

Speak soon

Ladies - some horrible news ... this bub sadly has not made it. Sorry to post here and be a downer but I don't know where else to go

After some very very minor spotting last night, headed to ob today for some reassurance and a quick scan. Bub measuring 9w2d instead of 11w2d, and no heartbeat. Had an additional scan elsewhere for confirmation.

We had 2 fabulous scans and heard the heartbeat and had seen a beautiful foot wave and now I just can't get my head around it.

In for a d&c on Monday, then at least 4 months until we can ttc again. I don't know how to fill those months. All I want is a baby.

I don't know how to go back to the beginning of the pain again.

jenushka :hug: I'm so sorry.

hey lovelies - still here lurking and keeping up with you all. how about some :bluedust::pink-babydust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: to absolutely snow down on you all!!!
