Congrats AngelLukesmum, you guys must be so proud
Those 3D scans are unreal, aren't they? I'm definately having one with next bub, even though I have to travel 2.5 hours to get to one!
I have just found out, that it's common for some people to have light spotting when they ovulate... So looks as though AF may still be a couple of weeks away for me yet, bugger it!
Thanks for all your kind words of comfort. At least I know it is a common reaction in men! I was blessed the day I found this website and all you girls. It is funny how total strangers can have such an important impact on your life - in a positive way at that
I know I have said it before but I will say it again - you girls have been my tower of strength (as well as DF) through this whole journey and I can't thank you all enough. I can only pray that you all get the BFP's you so deserve and the beautiful babies you all long for. That is my wish for 2009.
Not happy Jan, I read all your posts at work yesterday but didn't have my login details so I wrote out all my personals to bring home and put in... then stupid idiot forgot to bring home the paper didn't she!!
Anyway, in short congrats on all the great scans, Laney you scared us, Jo I am so glad you are home and your cervix is behaving and Helen what a great result! Did I miss anyone, I'm going off the top of my head...
Teagz: I don't think I've welcome you yet. Congrats on becoming a mother even if it was under the saddest of circumstances. Your love for him shines through in your posts. I really feel like this group has helped me develop a relationship with Charlie because her existence is so validated here where it perhaps isn't elsewhere. Hopefully we can help you grow your relationship with Jayvan so you conitnue to feel a strong connection with him.
This is just a quick post to update on the ttc progress... CD13 today. DH and I were supposed to BD last night but it was a really hot and sticky night and neither of us were in the mood. We are trying to avoid sex for the sake of it and keep at least a little passion going.
Weird though, I haven't had my CD10 temp spike like the last few cycles so now am really not sure when OD is. Its great because I think it means I am finally 100% normal re the progesterone thing and everything because my whole cycle has been so spot on. Bad though because I was predicting OD to be closer to CD16 or 17 so now the whole trying for a girl things is out the door I think! Oh well, probably doesn't work anyway.
I'm not sure who it was but someone was saying that they'd lost a boy and didn't want that to be the only son they had. I kind of feel like that about Charlie. I have my son and an angel daughter and it makes me so sad that it might be the only daughter I get. And then I feel bad because I feel like I'm being ungrateful for having her at all. Wow we really are programmed to be guilty trippers aren't we!!
Gotta run girls. Thinking of you all, all the time and I agree totally with Zach's Mum about you lot... legends!!
Lan, looks like you will be beginning your BD marathon . It's our month, I know it. Blowing lots of baby dust to you!
Paula, good to hear you're normal Sorry but can't really add anything to the charting stuff so am just going to blow lots of baby dust your way too.
I'm on CD 18 today but weird things are happening. I hate not being on meds as my cycle is so whacko without them. Sorry in advance for TMI but have had pinkish spotting for about 5 days now (only when I wipe, again sorry for TMI) and have had no CM at all to date. This happen to anyone before?
I agree too.. you are all amazing, wonderful, beautiful, supportive legends!
Theresa, I agree as well! The last couple of days I've felt a bit down but coming on here and seeing you girls cracking the occassional joke and being so positive lightens my spirit after everything that you's have all been through This little community is a life saver!
dd0207, I'm *still* having really light pink bleeding with no CM now. Sat/Sun i had some CM and then bleeding started Monday with a little but now there isn't any CM at all. I've never had this kind of bleed so I'm not entirely sure what's happening either!
MrsRobbo, thanks for the welcome! I am glad I found this little place because it does make you feel like it's ok to aknowledge and love our little angels. Alot of my friends don't understand the full impact of the situation and I get the impression that because I hadn't known Jayvan physically they think I shouldn't be as upset as I am. Thankfully I have an amazing mum and DF otherwise I don't think I could have kept getting out of bed the last month
AFM, I'm feeling a bit guilty/hopefull this morning. Last night DF and I got a bit carried away DTD and forgot contraception. Guilty being our Dr said to wait at least for the tests results to come back explaining what happened to Jayvan so they can make sure it wouldn't happen again (although he *DID* say if I got pregnant between now and then it wouldn't be a big deal as I'm going to be monitored closly anyway for my next pregnancy) and I was also asked to atleast wait for my next AF. But, I'm hoping that I may get a little 09 miracle. I'm such a sap XD
Paula - are you able to include the link to your ff chart in your sig so we can stickybeak as you go? I love looking at charts for some weird reason
I'm really excited for all your girls TTC and can't wait to see who will announce the first BFP! This will be a big year for all of us I am sure.
I hope that us pg girls chatting pg stuff in here doesn't upset anyone TTC. There is a pg area but it seems none of you chat in there very much which is how I ended up in here. I certainly don't get the feeling anyone minds the mix but I just wanted to put that out there.
Diana - can't help you on the spotting question. I have heard that some women can spot when they ov but 5 days seems to be a bit long for that so not sure what might be going on there. You aren't charting are you? Oh and in answer to your earlier question about my bedrest in hospital, I was allowed to get up to shower and go to the toilet. Now that I am at home I am probably sitting up a little more than before but am trying to avoid walking around too much and I'm trying to lie down as much as I can. I don't want to end up back in hospital!
Hammi I think you are right that Rozzie was also having a scan this week -hope all went well.
Tildy - I hope you are feeling a bit better. Ugh your cold weather sounds nasty. BIG difference to here in Sydney!
Teagz - I found myself counting down the weeks too as time went on after I lost Luke so it isn't an unusual thing. I felt a great sense of relief once Lukes EDD had passed as then I was able to look at other pg women and not think "that should be me". I felt a great sense of grief not only for Luke but also for not being pregnant anymore which was a little unexpected.
Time to lie down again so sending everyone else a big hi - hope you all have a great Friday! x
I have been having a nasty week After going to the doctor on Tuesday and feeling a bit better on Wednesday, on Wednesday night things got worse and I kept vomiting. We'd seen the midwife on wednesday and she said if I couldn't keep fluids down I'd have to go into hospital. That night I kept throwing up after eating/drinking. When I'd finished Alec would have this look on his face, half concern half sort of parental consternation (looking back now it's kind of funny!!) finally late at night I was able to keep some water down, lucky as I was exhausted and REALLY did not want to get dressed and go to hospital, I just wanted to sleep. Anyway, I haven't been throwing up but I still feel absolutely drained, can't eat much and can't stay on my feet more than a couple of minutes. It must just be a virus, I really hope I'm better by Monday.
I did have a scan, I thought I posted about it already? Baby is now estimated to weigh 1250g, scary!!!
I also hope no-one minds us preggos staying in here. I post in both but I feel like I've known the ladies here longer and also I feel like the TTC journey doesn't end with a BFP, and I hope that when all the TTCers here get theirs they'll continue to share the journey with the rest of us.
I'm afraid I don't have the energy for the personals I'd like to write now, but I just wanted to say to Theresa about the whole 'relax and it will happen' advice... good advice if you can follow it isn't it!!! I always thought that when the time came to try we would just 'see what happens' but it doesn't seem to work that way, especially when you have trouble like we did (tried for almost a year first time before I had endo removed). FF says that there is no evidence that thinking a lot about conceiving actually prevents conception, and that all evidence says that having a good awareness of your fertile time and BD during that time is the best way to get pregnant fast. I know in my first cycle after our loss I was OBSESSED with it, charting, OPKs etc... I was at home with nothing else to do, and used to look up charts similar to mine... maybe I was just bored hehe, anyway I still got pregnant anyway so it didn't affect my fertility luckily!!
I think it might be back to bed with me now, going to be a fun weekend.
