Trying to Conceive after Still Birth/Recurrent Miscarriage/Late Loss ~ February 2009

[Miss.B]

Teagz, so sorry hun , I must have mixed you and Lan up...I must be very frasturated ATM as I've had no action for AGES. This was the first Valentines Day for a very long time with no 'special hugs' (I love it!!). So, you're on CD6, I'm on CD9, not that it matters what day I'm on, can't do anything anyway...I'm gonna cry!
PS I hope you're not getting thrush, it's horrible. When I get it, and the only time I do is when I take antibiotics, I go straight to that pill you take and it takes 2 days to clear it ( 'deflucan 1' sp?) it's on the ad when the lady starts talking about thrush and the guy that's shooting the commercial runs away as he's embarassed.

So Lan hun, maybe you caught a sticky one???? praying with all my might you did

Nae, I know for sure Niki is letting you know she is around you. You've had feathers in the house before, so that could be her 'thing'. That is so special, especially because you immediately think of her when little things like that happen. You know, on Joshua's EDD on Thursday, after everyone left, I was sitting outside with DF talking, when I looked on the ground and I saw what looked like a tiny foot print on the brick paver. Now, this is why I think it's definitely Niki around you, when I looked at the 'foot print ' shape, I straight away thought of Joshua. I think that when little things happen and you immediately think of your angel, it's them telling you that they are around you. The other day when I was coming back from the priest when we were arranging Joshua's service, all of a sudden (and I can count on one hand how many times I have heard this song on the radio) Celine Dion's 'Immortality' came on and even though DF was talking to me, I didn't hear anything he said because I was so enveloped in that song. I knew Joshua was making contact with me. So enjoy these moments, as they are so very special, to know our little ones are with us all the time.
As for the pains, I had my AF last weekend on 7/2 so I'm due to O on 20/2 or 21/2 so I really don't know what these pains are. Weird pains hun, like around the scar area. Maybe it's muscle pain as you've said??? Not sure, I'll ask doc in 2 weeks.

Hello girlies, hope you all had a lovely V day. I invited 2 of my single girlfriends for dinner as I really hate that the day makes them feel lonely and unloved... so not really romantic for DH but we had a nice time.

Beata, the little bunny sounds so cute. Someone stole this cute little blue teddy we had at the cemetary for Sebastian and a beautiful pot plant we had for my mum. The caretakers say it happens all the time. Unbelievable. Love the little footprint hun, I'm sure it was your little Joshua thanking you for his beautiful little memorial. If your pain persists, perhaps give the doctor at call at least to ask if it's normal?

Nae, welcome on board the TTC train with us. I wish you a speedy journey hun. Like Beata, I too agree with the little signs our angels send us. I have told this story before but wanted to share it with you. On Sebastian's EDD, which was also the anniversary of my mum's death, a little orange butterfly came and spent some time in our patio area. It stayed put for about an hour then flew away. We didn't think anything of it at all until that night when my MIL called to say she was in the kitchen cooking when a little orange butterfly flew in and sat on her kitchen bench for a while then flew away. I know it was my little boy and mum coming to visit. So, I believe that feather was your precious little Niki coming to give you a kiss.

Tildy, good to hear you can move your maternity leave forward. Hope the doctor sorts out your pain and all goes well. Ooooo not long now.

Dee, best of luck with your lining scan tomorrow.

I have a blood test and scan tomorrow to check up on what I'm sure will be NUMEROUS GREAT SIZE EGGS and BEAUTIFUL LUSH LINING!

Hello to everyone else. Hope you're all doing well x

[Joselyn]

Humph, I don't know what's happening with me. Look at my stupid chart!

19e9cf Ovulation Charts

[dd0207]

Morning my dear friends and thanks for your positive vibes, I believe they worked!

My scan showed about 24 eggs (with lots of smaller ones around 12-13mm) but these 24 are in the running so far with 9 or 10 of these over 18mm. The nurse said it's a fantastic response but we have to watch out for over stimulation so I am back in on Wednesday for another scan.

So far, looks like egg pick up will be on Friday to give the smaller follicles a chance to catch up and to get my lining a little plusher. It's 6.4mm atm and she said she wants to see it over 7mm. Anyone have a comment on this?

Sorry Lan, can't offer any advice on your chart but hopefully the other girls can help. Do you have any thoughts?

[AngelLukesmum]

Hi ladies

Lan - your chart is definitely up in the air isn't it? Maybe your body geared up for ov and then it didn't happen as I see you had 1 day of EWCM and now you are back to W which is still a good sign. Keep up the loving I say and hopefully that egg will pop soon

Diana - that is great news about your follicles! How exciting to be so close to what is hopefully a BFP for you in a couple of weeks...

Teagz - that icon is great! I hadn't seen it before, made me smile

Beata - if it's any consolation I didn't get any Valentines day action either. In fact I haven't had any loving for so long now I can't even remember when it last was! Another couple of weeks and we might be game enough to risk it. Maybe...

Nae - that is a lovely story about the feather and it sounds beautiful that garden you have set up. I had big plans for an angel garden in our yard but unfortunately gardening is not exactly my forte and so it hasn't gotten very far. I have a beautiful ornament out there but it is now surrounded by weeds!

AFM, I am 30 weeks today
I am feeling very relieved to have made it this far although I keep finding myself having to push aside all those other stories I now know about losing babies past this point. I WILL be bringing this little girl home.

Love to all and a big hello to those I missed in the personals x

Congratulations Jo

Keep that positive frame of mind going of course you WILL bring home your little girl. Sending all the sticky vibes I can muster for you (me straining with heaps of sticky vibes)


Howdy everyone else, hope your all travelling well

[AngelLukesmum]

Another good luck message, this time for Dee. GOOD LUCK!!! Hope little emmie sticks.

Still got those going for you too Diana.

And Lan I just snuck a look at your chart back from page 3 (or round there) and it is looking nice...

Teagz - having only had thrush a couple of times and not recently, I can't really offer any tips for you other than get stuck into the probiotics. My mum always recommended natural yoghurt on a tampon to help with the itching and soreness. Sounds gross but apparently it works really well
And I know that it might be hard as you don't want to miss a chance of catching that eggie, but if you think you are now past ov, I would be giving up DTD for a while - even until AF arrives (or the BFP does!) just to give your body a break and allow the "natural environment" down there to recoup. And like the others have said, if DH has it too all you guys are doing is transferring it back and forth. Good luck anyway and that is it from Dr Jo!

Beata - take it easy woman and enjoy your last few days off work! If you are in nesting mode now, imagine what you will be like in your next pg when you reach the end and start pg nesting! I have already warned my DH about the whole nesting thing and how he will be arriving home to lists and how he should not think of arguing with the pg woman. He is wondering why he got married now I think

Good luck with testing this weekend jo76. Time for some more BFPs in here!

Need a shower so will end this here. Hi to everyone else and am sending all my positive vibes out to you all x

ps. Helen - you asked about pain in the cervix area. I don't get any at all although bubs has been lying head down for ages so maybe that is why. Sometimes I feel poking movements right down low and even at the back around my bowel area, but it never hurts, just feels weird. It's great to see your ticker speeding along there too x

[Miss.B]

Hi girls,

Just a quickie from me before i pack my bag and leave for a wee 2 day holiday....

Dee, good luck hun, you're almost there!! I can just picture you today chewing off your nails and heart pulpitating, but relax girl & enjoy the experience!!!! Emmy will go in and latch on with all its might!!!! Hope you'll have a nice and relaxing day afterwards, take it easy hun! will all my might little emmy sticks like super glue!!!!!!!!

Diana, I hope you're relaxing today and putting up your feet hun. Either that or you've got head spins from all that hanging down from the ceiling lol!!!! Thinking of you hun, and I hope little embie has burrowed deep into your lushus lining

Jo76, I'm praying AF stays well away this weekend and I'm praying even harder for your BFP hun!!! Good luck and I'm thinking of you hun

Jo, maybe I was nesting, I don't know anymore......but I do know one thing, if this is what nesting feels like, God help me when I get the urges one day when I'm pregnant again!!!!! Hubby watch out!!!! Hope you're resting nicely hun, big hugs and look after yourself xx

Megan, very hard for your BFP this cycle!!!!!!!!! Get as much action as you can and visualise that eggie catching a swimmer. Positive thoughts and visualising something you want to happen apparently really helps according to my psychologist.

Lan, I'm also sending loads of and your way. Hope it's BFP soon for you too hunni!!!!!!! xxxxxx

Hi to all my other lovely friends, not sure if I'll be able to get back on until Thursday night.

Teagz, hope the itchy bits are better and a huge BFP for you too hun!!!!!!

Love b xxxxxxxxx

[Hammi]

Oooh Diana, I hope the little bub implants and sticks and sticks. I kept your message about this month being our month together. I hope it comes true!

Good luck Dee today!!!

Jo, oh thanks for looking at my chart. It is looking good, isn't but let's see if it stays that way.

Hi and hugs to everyone.
