TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ March 08 #2

[ll80]

Howdy all,

Thanks for all the GL wishes for my blood test, I am now really hoping they turn out well.
Last night DP and I must have got a bit more raunchy than I thought because the blasted condom broke. We've been using them til I get the results of my blood test and move house but looks like the universe had other ideas.
SO I think it's fair to say that I am totally, absolutely nervous now.
I am on CD 14 today and have had EWCM last day or two, so yes, the timing is absoluetly perfect. (says so somewhat sarcastically)

I guess I am on an unexpected TWW now, if I happen to get a BFP this month, I am going to be a bundle of nerves and absolutely scared but, also bloody excited at the same time. I am sure you all know what I mean.

'Hey' back at ya Nickster, so very glad that you're popping and feeling ill. Good signs. Good times to come!!

Fiona - doesn't hurt to look around for another GP, one that is hopefully more sensitive. If you don't find someone else you like you can always go back.

Jodsan- Good Luck I hope is was implantation *fingers crossed* for you

Happy Easter!

ll80: I'm so glad you're feeling more at peace with everything. It's so hard to descibe the emotionla roller coaster we go through with obstetric loss. Even in the middle of my mc, there were times I felt very philosophical and stoic, then in the next minute I'd be crying. Best of luck.

Jodsan: sending you calming and encouragement vibes...

nicksterUK: I'm so glad your news has been good. I't so encouraging to hear from you, it gives us all hope!

Just a quick note to let you know I m out for this month. I was 2 days overdue but the test kept coming back negative. Then up popped AF today. Ironically I had every symptom there is....... Ohhh Well....

Now if i can just focus on DH and I, making sure we get more than one go at "o" we might just have a bit more luck.

I ll catch up with everyone when I m back.

Hi Guys,

So sorry that I have been "silent" for the past week, didn't mean it, bloody computers! :throw_computer: The problem is now fixed and so back here I am! What made it worse was that the home computer was stuffed and I couldn't get on here from work, some idiot has blocked it! Maybe they're on to me and my non-working in here!

Seeing as I have been gone a week I will save the personals until I have caught up with you all. However welcome to all the new ladies and I hope your stay here is a short one!

I also know that I am obliged to spread some around!

As for me, well the urine test at the docs was negative last Monday, what did she expect with AF due that day and it not being FMU??? So back again tomorrow arvo, but with FMU collected and brought in. So tomorrow will be blood test day. I am really nervous and keep going to the loo and checking, I know its not healthy and am now worried I could make it happen just by stressing about it! Idiot I know! Will keep you updated with how I go! Still not ready to post in the pg forum!

Good luck to you all and I want some more soon!!!

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a great day! Yesterday was easter so we had a good day. I received my charm in the mail on Saturday that my DH bought me. It has 2 baby feet and says always in my heart. I wore it yesterday and everyone thought it was nice.

I wanted to ask a question if you dont mind. I appologize if advance if it is TMI.

I have been having some serious dizziness the past 3 days. At random points in the day I will get really dizzy and feel like the whole room is in SLOW MOTION and rocking back and forth. It is SOOOOOOO weird and a little scary. (i've never really had vertigo before and it sorta freaked me out the first time). Night before last it was REALLY bad, if I turned over in bed I would wake up because I could feel the room spinning and it felt as though I was falling.

Is this normal after D&C and bleeding? Is it a hormonal thing? ( I hate to sound stupid but I also dont want to run to my DR for something that is to be expected.) I have a DR's appointment on Thursday ( today is Monday ) so if I can just hold out until then I'll ask her. One other thing, I seem to be really "puffy" lately... my rings are really tight on my fingers (they are usually pretty loose) and now they leave indentions in my fingers IF i can get them off. My clothes are tight and my face looks puffy.

As most of you know I am a little more than 2 weeks POST D&C... These problems are showing up a little late. Still moderate bleeding that will OCCASIONALLY stop for an hour or so and then start back. (i did have some pretty harsh cramps 2 days ago for about 30 mins and "passed a clot around the size of a golf ball... after that the cramps stopped.)

I hope I'm just being typical me and over-reacting. But since you all seem so knowledgeable about this I thought I would ask. Any advice and feedback is GREATLY appreciated.

Hi Everyone. I have had so much reading to catch up on! And now the site won't let me move to page 2 - so I thought I would type up a few hellos and try page 2 later.

MMTeacher - I am very sorry for the loss of your baby, but i am glad you have found this forum. As you have probably discovered, this forum is full of women who understand what you are going through and we are all here to support each other.

Danielsgirl - sorry to hear that you have started bleeding again. Just so you know, it took me 6 weeks to stop bleeding and for AF to arrive. I know how difficult it is waiting, as you just want the bleeding to stop so you know that your body is repairing. I found it very emotional and would get frustrated/angry etc every time it started again. I hope all goes well for you and things start to move forward.

Natty - I don't think I really had any early symptoms this time - in fact I don't think I had them with Nathaniel either. I only started noticing some things (going to the toilet a lot etc) around the time AF would have been due. I don't think everyone gets early symptoms and it is easy to confuse them with AF symptoms - actually the only thing I do get is feeling like AF is on its way - and then it didn't come but I still had that feeling. Confusing!

Angelbabies - I hope you are having a lovely holiday. And very funny that you do sneaky posts! Sounds like something I would do.

TM - I will keep my fingers crossed for you and keep you in my prayers for this cycle.

Bettyboop - how are you? Have you had any further news from you dr regarding AF?

PLC - your massive post inspired me to do these personals. Good luck for April 15th.

To everyone else that I have missed - I hope you are all doing well and look forward to hearing your news. Fingers crossed for some more BFPs

As for me - we are catching up with our preg friend next Saturday morning. It has worked out well - we didn't offer them to stay and they didn't ask. So they have suggested breakfast which I think I will be ok with. I know it will be hard but at the same time, this has become another fear that I need to face. She is a lovely girl and her DH can be a bit useless sometimes, so I do need to be kind to her.

I also started getting anxious again yesterday. I started thinking that my symptoms were not getting strong enough or were non-existant. It basically was a multitude of little thoughts combining to create one big ball of anxiety. I am seeing my Ob tomorrow so hopefully he will be able to put my mind at ease. I need to learn to control my thoughts spiralling. I am going to do a meditation course so hopefully that will help me learn to relax.

Happy Easter to you all. I hope it was full of peace and happiness for you and your families.

Okay have fixed the computer problem and have now ready page 2! Okay where to start...

Magda - I agree that across the board it is more common to be having babies in the late 30's and early 40's. Both of my SILs had their last at 41 each - and neither had any problems with either pregnancy. So stay positive and believe that your time will come. It must have been very difficult to deal with the mc and have your daughter run off as well. I hope things have improved with her?

Fiona - I think it is very harsh of your dr to say that you need to lose weight before he will look at alternative methods to help you conceive. I say ditch him and get a new one. Brisbane has some wonderful drs - both GP and Obs so I am sure you will be able to find someone who is sympathetic to what you are going through. Of course the GI diet will help as well - probably as much that you will have more energy etc which is always a good thing. I need to lose weight as well - but hey that will have to wait until after this baby. So don't let him get you down.

Nickster - good luck getting past the 11 week mark. I know this must be a stressful time for you. I will keep you in my prayers. I am now 7 weeks 3 days and counting down until 12 weeks. My milestones will be 12 weeks, 15 weeks (when Nathaniel passed away) and 20 weeks (when we discovered his loss).

Berecca - can't wait to hear how the next urine test goes. Please keep us posted. Fingers crossed for you.

Danielsgirl - I don't really know if there is a 'normal' recovery after a D&C. My ob had said that if I got a temperature or heavy cramping - then I needed to call him. If you keep getting the dizzy spells, I would definitely ask about it. It could be related or totally unrelated. A few years ago, I had a middle ear infection without knowing (no pain etc) but started getting the worst vertigo as a result. So best to ask about it if it continues.

Alright had better accept that I have to work today. Sigh....
