TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ March 08

CONGRATULATIONS BERECCA!!!
:clap::confetti::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:: happyforyou::hug::dance:

Hi everyone. Thanks for all your positive vibes....they paid off! We saw the heartbeat and it was such a relief. I feel so much calmer knowing that our baby is okay. He said that it looked like a healthy pregnancy, so all good.

Thanks again!!! Now I can breathe a little easier.

berecca623 - Congratulations. Wishing you a strong healthy pregnancy. :dance:

TinaK - Your SIL sounds very insensitive. I hope seeing her isn't too hard on you. My SIL is pg too and would have been 2 weeks behind me, but I see her regularly and she is really really lovely and thoughtfull about the situation. I hate that I don't always feel 100% happy for her (because obviously I am happy for them), but I cannot help feel jelous and envious. I get really sad about it at times when she is talking about scans and stuff, but like every other *****ty feeling you get after a mc I get through it and for the most part and happy and excited for my bro and SIL.

Jodson - Fingers crossed for the 2ww - - - sending you lot's of pg vives.:bluedust::stickyvibesgirl:

I've had 3 friends give birth in the last 10 days so there are babies galore in my life . . . hard not to think of your own when you are surrounded by newborns. Tomorrow will be a brighter day :D

Tempus - Good luck for tomorrow, I am keeping EVERYTHING crossed that it will be OK!

Katie - Glad that ur ultrasound went well and that you are feeling better.

Thanx to everyone for their congratulations, I still can't believe it!

Ok girls now I need some help and calming down, so Angel wherever you are I am thinking this is your domain! :D

Today I have been cramping a bit and then tonight when I went to the loo I saw some bright red bleeding. I went to the toilet an hour later and now I have a light pinkish stain, like it is going. OK so I know about implantation bleeding and as I O at CD16 this could be it, but this morning my temp dropped 0.1 as well, although I didn't get much sleep. Please someone reassure me cause I'm in a panic and couldn't handle AF after two :bfp: albeit faint![/COLOR][/COLOR]

Berecca - is AF due today? Apparently it is fairly common to have a slight bleed during pregnancy on the day AF is due. Turning to pink is a really good sign, that's kinda more like blood tinged CM. Keep positive, I'm sure its ok. Sending you lots of :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: Keep us updated, will be thinking of you.

Ok... Quick catch up.... I am now on Holidays for 10 Days. We only take them once a year and I am soooo looking forward to them. Spending quiet time with DH and hopefully sort out where both our heads have been since the beginning of IVF last year.

At the same time I will be waiting out my 2ww up north on a the beach.

So if you dont hear from me for while..... just picture me with the sand between my toes chillin out.

I m taking my lap top.... so i may just sneak in a post or two.... if i can.

Hi Girls,
I'm just popping in for a quick catch up. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to berecca and Brockstar. The laptop has decided not to cooperate this evening, so I am using an ancient machine and therefore wont add any emoticons as I'll be here all night if I do!
Berecca- try not to panic. (easier said than done) Probably just a bit of a bleed because AF would have been here. Remember that you are doing everything humanly possible to make this little bub as healthy as can be. Have lots of sticky vibes and baby dust, I'll be thinking of you with my fingers crossed.

AJC- I just want to send you huge hugs. xx Someimes, the world seems to be pregnant, doesnt it! I am so sorry that your trip to the spa was not as mind- clensing as you had hoped. Grit your teeth and you'll get through this tough spot, we're here to help you along too. ** Hugs. **

Tina- So sorry about your SIL. Cant believe that she would be so insensitive. IKWYM about being reminded of sad times. This weekend, I put on a bath robe (of all things!) and immediately remembered that the last time I wore it was when I was in hospital following the m/c. Now I know that your SIL will be a bit more of a reminder than a bath robe, and you cant really take her off and put her back in the cupboard, so I hope that she is a bit more understanding. Maybe you could have a word with your Bro and ask him mention that this visit will be tough for you?

Hi everyone else, I hope that you are all doing OK and looking forward to a fab easter.

Hi everyone - up early as I have to fly to Tasmania today for a meeting. Very tired after yesterday. Would love to be sleeping in.

Berecca - if you are concerned about the bleed, give your doctor a call. With my last preg I always ummed and aaghed about calling my dr, but this time around for my own piece of mind I plan to have him on speed dial (it also doesn't hurt that this new ob is very understanding). I am sure the bleed is implantation, and generally I believe it is only a concern if it turns bright red, but it never hurts to ask a dr. I will send you some sticky vibes as I know how stressful and sign of anything out of the ordinary is! Stay strong. :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:

Tina - I am so sorry that you are going to have to face your SIL. I think you need to be kind to yourself, and if at any time you find it too much then just get up and walk away (to the kitchen or something). You need to be a little selfish and put yourself first - actually at this stage in your life it is not selfish at all. So do whatever you have to do to get through it. If your SIL does not understand, than that shows she lacks empathy. Take care and I hope it is not too difficult for you. Also let your DH know that you will find it tough, that way he will be prepared for what you do.:hug:

Ok, I had better stop typing and get ready to catch this plane. How lovely it would be to miss it....okay enough daydreaming. It is so hard to go to work or do work when my mind is on far more important matters.

Have a good day everyone.

Katie - so happy about the healthy hb on u/s. That is my ultimate prayer - more so than the BFP really. So very very happy for you hun!

Berecca - I'm with Jodsan - if it goes pink it's a good sign! Keep strong hun!

Hope the other ladies with recent BFPs are doin ok - and that each day is marching along nicely.

:grouphug: to the rest of you lovely girls - one day our huge pg bellies will join the mass epidemic of pg women out there!!

tempus: good luck for your appt today

Katie: so happy to hear all ok with OB, i cant imagine how wonderful it would be to see that heartbeat, i didnt het that last time...

plc, jodsan, canary, seenabeena, and katie girl, thank you for your words of wisdom re my SIL today. I have spoken to DH about how difficult this is going to be for me, and he knows that i am doing this for him, and is very understanding...

i soo understand the baby boom thing! every female in the world around me seems to be PG or with bub right now...i like the baby dust theory!!! thanks Jodsan and plc!!!!!!

hope your all well and feeling positive
:)

Hi ladies, I hope you don't mind if I join in... After what feels like an eternity DH & I are finally TTC again and today is day 1 of my cycle. I'm just excited to be starting TTC again and can't wait for the fun part.

Congratulations to those who have had BFPs. You are inspirations to us all. Wishing you a happy & healthy 40 weeks.

Hi ladies. As it stands now, one of my four follicles is ready to pop (so I took the ovudrel shot this evening), two are running a more distant second and the fourth is kaput. So we have to BD tonight and then again either tomorrow nite or the next, then start progesterone tablets on Saturday. And my lining is no longer too thin--it caught up overnight! Wish me luck...

tina_k: are you comfortable talking with your sister and be frank about how you feel and how you want her to act towards you?

Katiegirl: I"m so glad it worked out okay. Still praying...

Jodsan: yep, it sounds like you O'd on sunday. Best of luck!!!

AJC: no, I don't think it's a baby boom--you're just very sensitive to seeing it. not that that makes it any easier, of course.

seenabeena: sending cyberhug

berecca623: praying extra hard--keep us posted...

Angel Babies: hope you have an awesome vacation and just clear your head and everything.

pash: I'm so sorry for your losses, but welcome here. It must have been awful to go through all that. I'll keep you in my prayers and best of luck with cycle day one!

i Guys, quick update, I will post some personals tonight.

After the initial couple of wipes with bright red spotting it has calmed down and now I have a slightly brown tinged cm (sorry for TMI). Am feeling more positive and think now it was implantation, AF was due yesterday. I also feel pg today, funny. Also did another HPT and came up BFP again, and quicker and darker than yesterday, although still faintish but better!

Thanx for all your support and advice!

berecca, good to hear! congrats :)
please send some :bluedust::bluedust: this way :)

Angel Babies - have a great holiday - probably just what you need, enjoy the sand, the sun, the water... sounds good, i'll have to try and borrow friends holiday house for a weekend soon
Pash - welcome, good luck with TTC
TM - all the best. :goodluck: we're due for some more BFP's
berecca- just take it easy and let the little one settle in, it's got a lot of growing to do:stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:

:bluedust: to the rest of us - we need lots of BFP's around here
I should get my car back on Thursday, it will be great, the one i've been driving is so slow and has almost no power, very hard getting up hills, and i live in a hilly suburb, oh well, not long now.
I've got an appointment with my gyno next thursday, be interesting to see what he comes up with - he didn't even know i was pg, i just didn't get that far to go and see him. Not sure how much further we want to push this (we've always said we won't go IVF, and that hasn't changed,) I'm not ready to give up yet.
Tina - i have a similar problem, i found out a few weeks ago that my SIL is due around the time I would have been, the upside is we don't see each other very often (my brother and his family drive me crazy), but i know it's going to be hard when we do, i don't know if they knew about my pg, but another SIL told me their's wasn't planned, sometimes it makes you wonder! if she was due at any other time it wouldn't be as big a deal

welcome back pash!!!
how exciting for you (and scary, I bet....) to be ttc again! best of luck hun
