Lan, I'm on CD13 today, O hasn't happened yet, but I am very well prepared this month . Sorry that AF has arrived for you, darn it! It will happen for you hun.
Nae hun, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!!! You've got the signs of pg, and it might just be !! I so it is. It might be too early to get a positive, as you've said yourself, you don't know exactly where you are in your cycle. Let it be, let it be!!!!!!! Maybe my pg dance worked last nite ???!!!! LOL
Teagz, I think you might be UTD!!!!!! I don't want to jinx you by congratulating you, but I think this is it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A faint line is still a line!!!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!!!! OMG, we could have 2 BFPs now (you & Nae) and then another two with Diana and Dee, and OMG, maybe Magan too!!!!! OMG, it could be raining BFPs this month!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!
I so did this BFP dance yesterday, my DF said I was mad mad mad! (oh well, I already knew that!) lol
Lan, big hugs hun. Don't worry, maybe you can make a preggo 'twosome' soon too???? Diana and Dee, Teagz and Nae, and you and Megan!!!!! Yeepee (sorry, too much red cordial today )
Diana and Dee, still praying very hard every day. Now DF thinks I'm possesed as apparently I say my prayers tad too loud in bed, while he's trying to sleep......Everything is always tightly crossed for you two
Megan, this economic crises does scare me, but like you, I can't wait any longer because of my age, and also I would like two more bubs. Fortunatelly, DF is on an excellet salary (although, there are no guarrantees anywhere...) and he always said it would be up to me if I wanted to stay home indefinitely after bubs were born, or go back to work part time if I wanted too. If I had Joshua last month, I would have stayed home 12 months and then tried for another baby straight away, and then I don't think I would go to work for a while . I've never considered not working after kids, as I am waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too independent, but i think I could do it for a while. I am also extremely lucky as mum lives 2 minutes down the road, and she can't wait to babysit all day long, every day......
Well, today I was sooky la la all day long. DF had to drag me by me ear to go out for lunch. I started to pout and pull faces and stomp my feet as soon as I woke up yesterday, so this morning he anticipated me being a 'horror' all day. And I was. Oh well, I can feel sorry for myself, can't I????? Thanks all you lovelies for your comments about my work. It is a horrible place, but I've decided if I am like this a month before my transfer, I will quit. I don't want my transfer to be compromised in ANY way. So, let's see girls....I've decided that I can't gamble with my health, so won't stay there if I'm still miserable after I came back next week...
Hi to you lovely mummas and sending you all big hugs!!!
For my other lovelies TTC, millions of buckets of babydust to you all, and super duper sticky vibes too xxxxxxxx
Hi girls, especially DD (since we shared the experience a month apart and knows my journey).
I don't know if you remember me but I just wanted to wish everyone extra special luck this month. It has proven to be a great month for me, but I have really good vibes about Feb/March for everyone so "get jiggy with it".
For those who don't know, I lost my little girl at 23 weeks to an IC in Sept 08. It was the most devastating experience of my life. I have also lost both of my parents and am only 27, so its been a particularly rough trot.
But, I have great news.
We found two lines late last night! I cannot believe it and I really mean that. You have no idea how much of a shock this is! I had NO symptoms, NO sore boobs, nothing! The only reason I did the test was because I bough the OTK and they have a free Preg Test inside them. So I thought I would amuse myself (I even did it at 6pm, 7 days before my period was due, as if I would ever see two lines at that time!!!). I even made an appointment with the fertility specialist for April 21 because I KNEW that this month wasn't the month for us and we had been trying for 5 months (4 excluding the first cycle after loss).
Anyhow, Its still very early days and Im not due for my period for another 6 days. DH and I refuse to believe it till another 8 or so days and a blood test. (have done three, all are positive but very faint).
As you all know, from our experiences - its important not to tell family and friends too early for fear of something happening. But I wanted to tell someone and why would I be concerned to share it with you girls when we've all been there together?
So there it is - you all know before our family and friends! LOL
I wish you all so much luck, to go through what we have been through I think we all need to remind ourselves how strong and resilient we all are. Women are amazing!
Joselyn
I remember you hun and your story. I am so excited for you conrgats hun I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months.
Teagz
I doubt you will OD on cranberry but if you start looking like a cranberry then you know you have taken too much. I think the label suggests 1 capsule 3 times a day, I just take on in the morning along with the other 3. I am not going to say anything yet but lets hope so for you hun x
Megan
TBH I hadn't given it a thought, I just want to get to 9 months DH pretty much pays for everything now as it is so in that respect it won't make much of a difference. I plan to remain a SAHM for as long as I can. I would like to see if I can get into something I can do from home though just to give me something to do and a little $$extra$$ on the side.
Beata I am right there with you. lets hope your pregnancy dance works hoping your focusing your dancing more to the horizontal mumbo though
Am still in shock but am thankful beyond all belief. If I were talking to someone about my experiences I would say that TTC under the same circumstances as this (i.e having two losses already) is frightening, and there is a deep seeded belief that it will never happen for you. So when it does, its such a shock! I don't think I would give advice to someone about how to deal with the disappointment of TTC, nor would I suggest that it happened this month because I did anything special - I just don't think that's the case. Its just a biological function that we have no control over - and that's the hardest part about it.
DH and I obviously have our anxieties but have agreed together that we'll tackle every situation as it arises. Not a day earlier.
Just to clarify Nae, have you already seen two lines? I'm not up to speed in this room
All the best, Jasmine.
P.S Thats my real name but I go by Joselyn because I got worried peole might know me by putting two and two together about my history...
Hey Jas,
Do you mind if I call you that??
Nah no two lines for me yet but I am hopeful, if not this time - then next time or the time after that. I am just enjoying DH's company alot at the moment, its actually the closest we've been emotionally as well in months which is really nice.
Jas I don't think there is a word to describe the fear of TTC and Pregnancy after going through what we've all been through.
I don't know about offering advice but I certainly enjoy bouncing ideas off other ladies who are also TTC and what works for them. Of course its luck of the draw when it does work out but it never hurts to try new things - life is not a guarantee but think of all the fun we have
Yeah the room can be hard to keep up with - and names I can never remember what anyones real name is
I hope its all uneventful for you hun (the pregnancy that is), you deserve all the happiness in the world.
Nae x x
Sorry I don't have alot of time for personals today as am soooo busy at work but had to respond to a few of our UTD friends!
Teagz OMG a line is a line sweets so you are UTD I know you don't want to get your hopes up but I think secretly you can. Well done! WHOO HOO
Jasmine! I am so happy and excited for you CONGRATULATIONS! Absolutely fabulous news. I pray you have an uneventful 9 months and take a beautiful happy and healthy baby home. You deserve it hun.
Lan, I am so very sorry February wasn't your month dear friend. Hope you're ok
Beata, how is the first day back at work? Remember to talk to HR or someone if it gets too much for you. You must stay peaceful for your transfer in a few months hun! Good luck at the doctor tomorrow, hope you get fabulous news about your wonderfully healed uterus
I will try to log on tonight to catch up a little better.
hi ladies, i'm soooo excited well i don't know if that's the right word mybe relieved is better. we just came back form the hospital to hear about what they found happened with our little boy. i have been sad and nerbous the whole week and had a good few cries yesterda and this morning. and worse i feel like i can't just ring people and start talking about it and i got an email from a girl i worked with asking how the pregnancy is going i haven't been able to respond.but i'll get to it i guess. anyhoo i was so nervous and teary at the waiting room just dredding it. waht if they said it was something i did? what if they don't know? what if i can't have babies? all sorts. but they said with the swab they took from me after the delivery they found some bacteria.ureaplasma he called it which caused chorioamnionitis. basically an infection in the uterus caused by bugs that live in the vagina normally and sometimes but very rarely get out of hand. i was embarrassed but i had to ask and they said it's not a cleanliness thing and unlikely to happen again and i should have a normal pregnancy next time. just bad luck. but i'm sooo glad we can be normal again although i have to go to the hospital's high risk clinic and monitored closely, but it's nothing physical and we can try again when ever we want. we had a fight so i think we missed this month lol.
Hi everyone just quickly ducking in to say to Mummy2be, that I had this infection too, although they couldn't culture mine to know what exactly caused the chorio. My story got a little more complicated though because they couldn't give me a definitive answer whether it was the infection that caused the labour to start or if I had Incompetent cervix which let the infection in! When I presented to the hospital I was 4cm already without having any real labour, so I had a stitch placed this pregnancy as a precaution. You are right the chances of it happening again are very remote (although we would prefer it to be never) and you will get to have your little bub, glad they will watch you closely.
Good luck
Helen
hi helen,
i had never heard of this before but an answer was great. yeah we wish it would never happen. they said i will not get a stitch because my cervix looks fine and i had labour pains for a while which makes them think it's not the cervix. nonetheless i will have a swab between 12 and 16 weeks to check if the infection doesn't come back etc. i will probabbly have them check twice just to be n the safe side. also i asked that my cervix be checked as well at 12 weeks just to check on how it's progressing and maybe at 14 and 16 weeks etc. imagine that all you need is antibiotics! that sounds crazy that you can lose a baby when it can be sorted out easily like that.my bbs are sore! hmmm i thought we bded like four and three days before !
i'm so happy you hav another bubby on the way
. Sorry that AF has arrived for you, darn it! It will happen for you hun.
