Trying to Conceive after Late Loss, Still Birth or Recurrent Miscarriage Feb/March 08

[Katiegirl]

Hi Barbara - 3 times now I have woken up during the night and taken my temp only to realise it is only 1am etc. I once also had a dream that I had already taken my temp and then had to remember when to actually do it! I think it ends up taking over our minds sometimes! Good luck with O and TTCing. My EDD is April as well, but so far I am doing ok.

I am still waiting for AF - today is CD30 - I expected AF yesterday. If I make it through today and tomorrow with no AF I will possibly test on Tuesday. I have been getting pains for the last couple of days which makes me think AF is on the way but not sure why it is delayed - just cruel!!!

Simba - good luck with your test. It would be so lovely to get some good news in here!

Between work and a girls' nite out I haven't posted in a couple days. Will POAS on tuesday, but i don't have any breast tenderness, so I'd be real surprised if it were a bfp.

Katiegirl: that was a horrible story. Is your brother usually tactless? some people suffer from chronic foot-in-mouth disease. Or maybe it sounded funnier in his head. You just never know. But in either case there's nothing funny about obstetric loss.
My parents lost a baby and they both suffered terribly over it. then one time about ten years later, my dad made some flippant comment and my mom just burst into tears and it turned into a terrible fight. Sometimes people just say the dumbest things...

Simba: sending encouragement vibes

jo76: keeping fingers crossed

Anthonysmom: Please rant away. That's the whole point, isn't it? So we can support each other with all the stresses of TTC and the "civilian" stresses, too.
My grandfather's condition is status quo.

Thanks TM - my mother spoke to my brother and before she could get very far he confessed to making a joking about 'losing' a baby and he said that he knew what he had done but didn't know how to get out of it so kept babbling other things. He obviously was aware at the time but panicked.

So at least he knows what he said. My dad can't understand why he didn't stop though and just apologise for being insensitive. And he hasn't called or emailed to apologise. It is in his hands now - you would think that having 2 sisters with late losses he would learn. He just jokes too much and sometimes he upsets people because his jokes can hurt.

TM glad to hear your grandfather has stabilised for the time being. I hope your family are keeping well with all the stress you have had recently.

How is everyone.

hey everyone!

ok...the lack of AF is officially doing my head in!

So it is now 8 days but again, don't want to get my hopes up incase they are severly shattered and i don't want to see my doc yet as the last time i saw her was when she was concerned about Jack so i want either my AF or a positive to show before i see her. I am so frustrated right now and i have'nt said anything to DH as i don't want to get his up. He has'nt noticed the lack of AF as he is just getting frustrated at still not being at our house and at our friends so that is his focus right now. LOL!
So tell me girls, what the hell is my poor body doing to me?????????

katie - really glad your brother knows he did'nt do so well in that conversation! I hope AF does'nt come for you! Any signs?
TM - glad you had a girls night...is usually what we need at the best of times so hope it was a great time. Glad that your grandfather has been stable, hope it gets better from there!
simba - glad someone else is trying to resisit the urges of obsessively testing every few days. hope you get some happy news! would be awesome for one of us on here to get one!
barbara - we are here for you so let it all out! it'll make you feel better! (we hope!) sending you lots of hugs right now!
will be back on wednesday at mums computer so will update you all then!
take care!

excuse all the spelling mistakes! trying to type quick! have a good night everyone!

[Katiegirl]

So Jo are you 8 days past when your AF is due? If so, then that is a great sign! I can't wait to hear back from you on Wed. I am also going to test tomorrow morning if AF does not show up today.

TM - good luck testing today. I will keep my fingers crossed for good news. Make sure you update us!

Barbara - how are you? Have you started taking the aspirin? What else do you need to do to help control it?

Hi Simba - I hope you are well also.

[jo76]

hey girls!
just quickly, still no signs at all of AF or PREG but will wait for fri (gritting teeth) otherwise if by fri i am still showing a neg test i will go to docs and see if it being late is poss stress related at all or something else. My last 2 since jack were on the 25th so it is this one that gone a bit haywire. ARGH!!!!!!!
Katie - its 8 days since it was due but for we have all been through i am sure everyone understands wanting it to happen but not getting hopes up at the same time!
