Congratulations Helen on the birth of your little boy Mitchell !!! Welcome to the world little man !!!!
I hope he is home soon with his mummy, daddy & big brother.
Sorry I have been MIA. I haven't been feeling the best and had some follow-up b/ts last week. It turns out I am borderline anaemic again with my level at 28 and should be up around 70 or 80 like it was when I fell pg. I have also been trying to shrug off a sore throat and cold which has been hanging around for a few days now. It seems I just can't catch a break. And to make this cycle more interesting, FF reckons that I o'd on CD10 which I wasn't expecting. Luckily we had got a few BDs in beforehand but I am not sure how we will go with my health and energy levels so low. But having said that I have felt the strangest little tugs and nibbling sensations - that's the best I can describe it. So I am not sure if I am pg or it is just my uterus returning to normal size. Did anyone else feel that way? I have resisted temptation to POAS even though I have some of the early detection tests, as I know it will just make me feel sad when I get a BFN. So I am waiting and hoping and trying not to obsess over my sore BBs and weird feelings.
Anyway, enough about me... just wanted to pop in and catch up on everyone.
Helen - congratulations on the safe arrival of little Mitchell I hope you get to take him home very soon. Rest up while you can!
Diana - glad to hear the stich went well. It sounds like you have a super OB helping you this time. I am sure you'll be holding your happy and healthy earth baby soon enough!
Dee - sorry about the BFN. A break sounds like a good idea, both for your body and your emotional self. Enjoy the TTC naturally
Berry - good luck in your TWW (for both of us )
Blessedatlast - welcome to our thread. I hope that your TTC journey is a short one this time around. How's the new job going?
Bec - I know what you mean about finding others who have been through similar experiences. My chiro shared a sad story he had about a loss of his child. I feel like he understands me more now and that provides me with some comfort. I hope you can find some comfort in your circumstances as well. And I have a quick question - does a temp drop after ovualtionn mean a progestore problem? I had a temp drop at CD18 with ovulation at CD10 according to FF. My temp has stayed up since then but not as high as the first few days after ovualtion. Any thoughts?
Dee, I am sorry for your BFN. I hope and pray for a BFP for you soon naturally!
Diana, I'm glad your stitch went in without a hitch. Sorry about those pills you have to take every month, but just think about the end result hun, it's all worth it!
Theresa, wow, 23 already! How time just seem to go so fast. I'm glad all is going well hunni, and hope the next 3 months go even faster for you
Megan, I hope and pray for a sticky one this cycle, oh God please let it be Maybe those natural tablets you're taking are doing their job as I'm sure you're on the right track!
Bec, big hugs to you hun I wish I could take those 'down days' away for you. I'm having a few of my own lately, and sometimes I just can't shake them off. I too wish our grieving could be sped up but it has to take its course, and I still believe deep down that I'll never stop grieving. I'm just learning to live with it
Blessedatlast, welcome to our thread. I too read about your little angels, I am so sorry you have lost them. They are just so beautiful.
I am glad you've decided to TTC, it's also where I am at too, but I'm fiding it difficult to let go of Joshua and begin a new journey.
Cindee, I'm so happy that Miranda is doing so well, well done hun!
Cherryl, I'm praying for you that those 'pulling' sensations are implantation pains. I so pray they are hun!! I would just love to see another BFP here soon
Teagz & Nae, I have been lurking in your thread, glad you're both doing well xx
Jo, can't believe Kaitlyn is almost 6 weeks...wow! Hope you're still enjoying your babymoon.
Again, congrats Helen on your precious little Mitchell. Well done sweetheart!
Big hello to anyone I have missed
Not much from me to report, 2 girls pg now at work. Struggling with that ATM, it's so different when I'm talking to you girls who are UTD on BB and have been through a late loss, but actually seeing someone UTD in person everyday at work is such a different story......sorry to be a whiny poo, it's just it's the first time for me since my loss and boy, is it HARD....
Just a quick one to give a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to Helen, what wonderful news, welcome little Mitchell I hope that the breathing sorts itself out really quickly and he is home with you in know time Helen.
Beata, I have been thinking about you lately. I hope you are doing ok hun. It must be a bit 'strange' if that's the word coming up to the transfer after waiting for so long and missing Joshua. Seeing pg women at work is also hard, I can relate to that, it feels like every second person at my work is pg or their wife is! Look after yourself and know that it will be so worth it when you get to hold your longed for earth baby. You'll never forget your little man but you also deserve the joy of being a mother to an earth baby as well, and what a wonderful one you will make
More personals tomorrow. have a great week everyone.
Beata, that is so hard. I know lots of pregnant women at the moment and I'm not really happy for them like I once would have been. The sadness for me gets in the way too much. I also feel differently when people who've experienced a loss are pregnant - it seems ok then!
Cheryl, sorry to hear you've been unwell. Hope you finally shake the cold and get some energy back. If your temps dip below the coverline after ovulation (but before AF) then you could have too little progesterone. You are welcome to look at my stuffed up cycles
They are at 1c90ce Ovulation Charts
April 24 2009 cycle I had a dip and spotting; march 29 2009 just spotting; Feb 3 2009 just dips; April 7 2008 dips and spotting. Though if it makes you feel better the very next month (May 2 2008) was Luca's cycle when I conceived with him
Of course it could also be an implantation dip that you had
CONGRATULATIONS HELEN and welcome to the world little Mitchell I'm so sorry to hear he is still in the hospital but I hope he gets comes home soon fit and healthy. I am so very happy for you and your family - and what an inspiration for me with the whole stitch thing!
I have been off work for 2 days now and I can't get onto my lifeline BB! Thank goodness it is up now!
Beata - I know what you mean about pg women at work. There are two women who work in the area beside me (we're in an open plan office) who are pg and several others who work in my building. I thought that by going back to work it would help take my mind off everything but it's the reverse at the moment. I guess I'll have to work out how to deal with this. And thanks for your good wishes - you made me cry
Bec - thanks for the info on the temp drop. I have been doing a bit of reading but haven't found a definite answer, only the maybes that you raised. I will talk to my TCM lady about my progesterone levels.
AFM, I'm at home with a headache, sore throat and cough feeling like cr*p! I resisted temptation to POAS yesterday. With my current physical health I don't see how I could sustain a baby at the moment so I am resigned to the fact that AF will arrive on the weekend.
Anyway, time to head back to the couch and rest.
Take care all
