Madison Rose is such a beautiful name. I hope you are coping ok Jo.
Good luck Sue. I'm sending a ton of positive vibes!!
I'm doing ok today. well not really, but I don't have much to complain about in the scheme of things, although AF has shown herself .
I'm thinking about putting TTC on hold for a while. Since my cervix is incompetent, they'll be putting a stitch in as soon as I hit 12 weeks the next time we're pg, and I'll be on pretty much complete bedrest. I'm getting more and more terrified about being dependant on others and not enjoying being pregnant as much as I'd hoped. I could do without the days where I feel like this.
8Weeks - I hope you are ok and I am sorry to see that AF has reared her ugly head. Only you and your DH will know when the right time to TTC is. I know someone else mentioned (I think Rozzie but I could be wrong) that sometimes time can increase the fear level. I know my sister who had 2 late losses told me this exact thing when I was doing it tough with the constant spotting after the D&C. She told me that they had allowed too much time to pass since their last angel baby and that fear had made it almost impossible to move forward with the idea of TTC. I really took it to heart and kept on going, even though at times it seemed like the scariest thing in the world (let's face it - it still does seem scary). Look after yourself and just take the time you need.
Katie and Sue... good luck and I'm crossing everything for happy news! We need some on this board after poor Jo's sad loss.
Jo... I think of you all the time and hope that you are finding the strength you need to get through.
8 weeks... DH and I are having second thoughts about ttc at the moment as well. AF arrived for me yesterday (we weren't ttc last cycle anyway) and I had been really looking forward to it as it is my second since we lost Charlie and my OB said to wait 2 complete cycles. We had initially planned to start ttc next month (we are going on a long overdue holiday and thought it would be a good time). I worked out that my EDD would be Charlie's birthday and thought that would be nice. But now I'm not so sure. I have just started getting my physical strength back and am also starting a new job in October. We have has such a rough couple of years with the MC and then losing Charlie and I am kind of looking forward to taking it easy for a few months. I feel a bit guilty though however i want to be as strong and rested as possible for this next baby so that I will hopefully be able to get some peace of mind during the pregancy that I have done everything I could to give this baby a good chance of surviving to full-term. My OB says I've got nothing to worry about next time round but that's much easier for him to say than for me to do!
Anyway, I just thought it might help to knwo that you aren't the only one who is still struggling a bit with the ttc decision. Good luck with whatever you decide and keep us posted with your progress.
Hi all - had the Ob appointment and GD test this morning. All went well with the Ob - he once again didn't do a scan (how disappointing) and I am sure he is trying to wean us off them. He did check the heartbeat which was good and the baby is still head down same as last time - he also said my belly is measuring correct. So even though I didn't see our little one, I am trying to just take it all as good news. Then we had the GD test and I must be a freak but I didn't mind the drink! I know most people hate it but I didn't find it too bad. No nausea but it did make me very tired.
Katie - for a good result at the OB, must be reassuring to hear that beautiful heartbeat. Can I ask what GD stands for, is that Glucose Tolerance Test???
Where there's hope - sorry I cant help you. But I wish you all the best in TTC Journey. Have you been to a naturopath??? I have found my naturopath to be useful with things like that.
8 Weeks and Mrs Robbo. You will know in your heart when you are ready TTC. I find that with me, I need to get back into TTC and even if I mentally say that I am having time off, I know when I am ovulating and I still try......
Thanks Rozzie for the sticky bubba vibes... how are you going?
Jo, thinking of you.....
A big hello to Tildy, Jen, Hammi, Helen - hope you are all doing well.
Well I had a blood test this morning to see how far I am to ovulating.... levels are increasing and have to go back Friday (normally ovulate on day 13 (which is Sat). I would say that mid to end of next week I will be having the frostie put in. it survives the unfreezing process. I found out today that it is a day 6 embreyo.
Also went to naturopath and she has me on a plan for when the little frostie is put in, to make sure my progesterone levels are good.
I feel like crap today- physically, that is, which ironically is a good thing! Just had a long nap and feel washed out and queasy. Every little smell sets me off. Haven't vomited yet, last time vomiting started at 7 weeks so we'll see. So glad I still have a few weeks off. We have a scan on Thnursday so looking forward to that.
Sue, I really have my fingers crossed for you, hoping you get a good result.
Where there's hope- My parents live in Bulli, I'll ask them if they know anyone who uses accupuncture when they visit next week. They have lots of friends there so maybe they can get a recommendation.
Katie, bummer about the scan, though must have been nice to hear the H/B. I always think that with the GT test it's a shame you can't pick your own sugary drink you like!
Tildy, how are you going? Any change?
Jo, I hope you're doing as well as you can under the circumstances. Thinking of you.
Hi to everyone else, good luck with your BFPs this month.
