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

Teagz, I would think that the DTD is irritating your thrush quite a bit. I got a yeast infection after the second round of antibiotics I recently had. I did a vaginal pill + cream thing, where you're supposed to continue putting the cream on 2-3 times a day until 3 days after the symptoms are gone. Well, out of the blue, DH got all snuggly while I still had a tiny bit of itching and irritation (out of the blue means probably the first time we've had sex for 2-3 months or so, heh) and I was in a very rare state of feeling no pelvic or back pain and no headache and sinus blah blah, etc., so I just couldn't pass it up. Even though I was, uh, nice and lubricated and everything, I was NOT a happy camper afterwards. The first thing I had to do was take a pee, and MY GOD did it sting. So I think I gave myself a few extra days of recovery because of that DTD. I didn't say anything to DH about it -- normally I have no secrets whatsoever, to the point that I consider it a drawback, but I just felt I had to draw the line at telling him that my vagina was dry and bleeding and that it was because he'd loved me up. ;) Don't want to discourage him...

Dee and Diana, I've got all my sticky-vibes voodoo mojo going for you two and your embies! What a long two weeks it's going to be, doh!

I'm with you Rozzie -- I have 5 days left until I'm on maternity leave, but I sort of get less and less excited every day, because I sort of feel like I'm too tired and sore to enjoy it. Even lying down and resting hurts, so it's not going to be a party. :( But then again, I think the aches and pains will settle some once I'm not sitting in this damn computer chair all day. *waddle waddle waddles back to the lab*

Dee I hope and pray very hard for a very very successful transfer tomorrow. Hun you'll be great I know it!!!! Little emmie will latch on with all its might for 9 months!!!!!! I can imagine how nervous you are hun, but please think positive & relax (i know, so much easier said than done!! lol). Everything is crossed for you hun, praying very hard for you tonight just like I did for Diana :pray::pray::pray: I'll be thinking of you at 11.45 tomorrow morning!!!! GOOD LUCK SWEETIE!!!!!!!!!

Diana my sweetheart, you are a very dear friend and I've gone all blushy here with all your wonderful compliments!!! Stop it!!!(oh alright then, keep going he he he). Seriously, you know that I support you 150% as I know that going through IVF can be a very lonely road, so I am here to hold your hand and cheer you on!!!!!! Stick little perfect AA embie!!!!! And pleeeeeeese, come and visit me here!! That would be so awesome to meet each other in person! Can't wait, tell me when you're coming hun!!
You're not teasing me, are you??????????? You better not be!!!!
Still praying hard for little embie to stick around for the long ride! :pray::pray::pray: And I hope you have a very relaxing day tomorrow (i love the thought of hanging down from the ceiling, I will try it too, lol)

Teagz, whenever DF gets the itchy thingie, I slap on a little of the canesten cream. Believe it on not, men can have thrush without the symptoms!!!! A chemist told me that. So if we DTD and then I get the itchy poonan, I give him the cream straight away so he nips it in the bud. Oh, and I also read somewhere too like Diana said that some sort of natural yougurt is good to put on down south as it inhibits the bad bacteria. Good luck sweets!!!!! And I pray you get your BFP soon too hun, we could have a few new preggie girls here soon!!!! yeepee!!!! lots of babydust to all TTC!!!!!
PS When do you turn 21????????

Rozzie, hellooooooooooooooooo!!! It's been so long hun. I'm sorry you're a bit sore hun, oh the joys of pregnancy (I say, BRING IT ON SISTER!!!!!!). How good does it feel to be on maternity leave hey ??? 12 months, how exciting..You'll be on extended babymoon!!
Thanks for the info on the scar hun, it's getting much better now, although it's still a bit numb. The little 2nd potty is getting smaller, although when I do heaps of bending it swells up a bit, and when I rest heaps it goes down (I should learn a lesson here....hellooooooo!!).

Big hello and hugs to all my lovely girls :grouphug:

Love B xxxxxxx

Hello,

So much excitement going on at the moment.

Diana, fantastic news about the AA embie, latch-on little one and grow for mummy :pray:. I am sure everyone is telling you this, but relax and put your feet up as much as you can. Imagine your little one snuggling in and starting to grow. We will all be here to help you get through the TWW :comfort:

Dee, I'll be thinking of you tomorrow as well hun, all the very best for emmy's transfer, I pray its a sticky little one :pray: and we will also be here to help you through the TWW Dee :comfort:

Beata, I can just imagine you tearing around the house and garden like a mad women - lol! I agree with the girls take it easy and enjoy your last week off work. I look forward to supporting you during your next transfer as well, not long for you.

Teagz, you poor thing, thrush sucks. I recommend Inner Health Plus as it can help things get more 'normal' down there, particularly if you have been on antibiotics which can strip you of your natural 'wetness' sorry if TMI. I thought I had thrush once and was tested, but it came back negative. The dr told me to start wearing cotton full brief's (I didn't even own any) and strictly no synthetics like silk, lace etc as they can aggrevate things, and I must say it worked! She also told me to use a bit of sorbolene cream if I was sore / itching as I was pg at the time and it helped, but as I said, i didn't actually have thrush, but it was the same symptoms. Good luck hun. Also, if you dtd everyday bar CD14 you will still have your bases covered. I hope this is your month :pray:

Rozzie, so your going to be our next mumma in here I think? Not long for your now, how are you feeling? Congrat's on being on maternity leave, must be a great feeling, enjoy your time off and more importantly with bub when he/she (do we know?) arrives.

We will be action stations later this week, but DH is starting to get very busy again and even working at night (from home) so will get harder to fit everything in, but hoping its our month.

Dee, I pray you have a really good nights sleep. Safe travelling tomorrow.

hey girls!
just wanted to say to dee and diana a huge lot of luck for everything! i will keep my fingers and toes crossed that all your dreams come true for a bfp!Dee that drive will feel like a lifetime! Its an exciting time! My friend just had 3 eggs done which have grown into the embryo stage which is a start for her too.
teagz -you poor thing, i have never had thrush so from a personal point of view have no advice to give. I can't imagine how frustrated you are right now! But try and take care as it sounds like it is taking alot out of you! And missing one day-you should still be fine! Sounds like you right onto it!
beata - you are sounding really well! Your posts are so positive and enciouraging -i think that is wonderful!!!
berry -good luck for trying this month!!!! will keep some fingers crossed for you to!
laney - have I missed a post by you? hows things going? your in my thoughts as always -will drop you an email in the next few days!
as for me now on CD27. I am going to test this weekend as long as AF doesnt arrive for me before then so we'll see. I have absolutley no preg symptoms whatsoever but never do. Damn body!!!!
take care girls!
xxjo

Morning my dear friends

DH is standing over me as he takes the laptop to work but just had to pop in to wish Dee the best of sticky vibes today :pray: GO EMMIE!

BBL for perssies. Have a good day x

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

Still got those :pray: 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 :redface:
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! :lol:

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 :lol:

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

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! :pray: 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 :pray:

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 :pray:

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, :pray: 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 :bluedust: and :stickyvibesboy: 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 :redface: and a huge BFP for you too hun!!!!!! :pray:

Love b xxxxxxxxx

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.


xoxox

Ooh the woes of my vagina & I XD Dr Jo :p, I'm going to take your advice, the cycle needs to stop! Much to DF disgust, and mine... it's weird but the increase of DTD lately has just made us to want to "do it" (i've been watching to much That 70's Show!) more :rolleyes: BUT, anyway! ><;;

DD, how're you going love? and Dee, how did you go today? Hopefully the 2 of you (or maybe three of us, I wouldn't mind one!) have BFP for us in 2 weeks time :pray: for you both!

Beata, enjoy your couple of days away. And the rest of the week before you have to join the rest of us back into the world of WORK. Yuck! :hug:
It took DF a bit of convincing to use to cream last night, his argument was if he has it I'd have it in... well, my mouth :redface: But I ended up convinving him.
I'm going to drag this post back out of the gutter now!

Hammi, How is everything going for you? Any signs of AF yet?? I'm glad your chart is looking good! How great would it be if there were 5 BFP this month, Me, DD, Dee, You & Berry. Fingers crossed!

Jo76, you lucky thing never having thrush! Count you're lucky stars it's the most frustrating pain in the butt of a thing!!

Berry1, yep, I've got the cotton knickers out. No more pretty undies for me atm! I hope that is your month as well... in a way I guess it's good your DH is working at home during nights, least you still have access ;)

Tildy, Argh.. I've never had DF make me bleed thank goodness. I don't think I would have said anything either, I know they feel horrible when they hurt us accidently.

Rozzie, yay for maternity leave!!!!! Put your feet up and be a preggo lady of leisure, or try to be as must as your stiff joints will allow it :) Aaah, how wonderful!

Hope I haven't missed anyone. No news from me today. Bring on the LONG weekend!

well emmy is in and hopefully nice and cossy (sp) for the next 9 months she went back as an 8 cell so doubled overnight and was perfect looking so the fs said, we will just have to take his word on it and cross our little fingers. very tired tonight as hardly got any sleep last night will do persy tommorrow . thanks again girls for being so wonderful

hi ladies,
i'd just like to introduce myself before i start asking questions etc.
i'm noni 26 and deaar hubby is micheal 36 and we're in perth. last month we lost our first child, a little boy at 20w4d for no apperant reason they say.they just don't know why it happened as everything had been perfect up to then. we were devastated and i thought we'd never pull through. but thank God we are okay now and looking forward to trying again. we don't think it's too soon and feel we're ready but i'm sure a lot of emotions will come up. i'm nervous beacuse i don't know it happened and what it means for the next pregnancy. we do have a meeting on the 18th of march though with doctors etc to see if they have any updates and any advice for this time around.

sorry this is long
noni

Hi noni, gosh I hate it when new people join this thread! No one should have to suffer a loss. There are beautiful women in here that offer the most amazing support, advice and a shoulder to cry on if you need it at any time of the day or night. I know I use it to it's full advantage!
I'm sorry to hear about your Bub, the reason we lost our bub is a mystery as well. At our last appointment with our Dr's they said that generally when they can't find a problem it rarely happens again, and they keep assuring us of this - although I'm not sure how much of a comfort it's meant to be, never would be better than rarely
I'm glad your excited about TTC again, when they heart is ready, it's ready!
Wishing you all the luck in the world! Hopefully you'll be blessed with a BFP in the shortest time possible! :hug:

Hi Noni, welcome to our wonderful group of mums, but so very sad you have to be here. What did you name your little boy? You will find heaps of support and understanding from these ladies that have been through such devastating losses, it is hard for people on the 'outside' to understand what you and DH have gone and will continue to go through. I hope your next meeting can shed some light on things for you, and trust me the nervousness doesn't go away, worse luck, but you will get to hold your little earth baby and their big brother will be smiling down at you all.

thanks teagzz and hgirs. i feel so muc better though now. but yesterday i had a bit f a rough day cos he would have been 26 weeks old and i remember early on thinking that it would be such a nice time by now.sigh.but it's okay. we had him cremated and brought him home and they did lovely pictures for us i get to see him whenever.his name is Tosin.as you both know you never forget. hgirs congrats on your little Bub :clap: :dance: i'm so happy for you ! and teaggz, good luck to us :crossfingers:

Howdy All,

M2B - welcome to the group - its an unfortunate thing to find yourself in here but as already stated you will find lots of great ladies and men who have all been through the devastation of a loss. All who will be more than happy to become that shoulder to cry on or ear to chew when you need it. I am glad you feel the strength to begin your TTC journey so quickly and I hope that your stay here is a very short one and that you never need to return to this thread further down the track. Sorry that sounds aweful but there are always very sad reasons for one to be in here ;);)

Teagz :loveshower: I love your avatar, I so wanted an angel put in mine.


Dee :pray: here is to a long happy and healthy 9 months. ;)

Beata love your new avatar too :loveshower: looks so lovely. Enjoy your holiday. x x

Jo bestest of luck, I hope you get that BFP soon.

Love to all
Nae x

Noni, don't worry I'm still counting down my pregnancy too, I tried to stop but you can't really help it. I would have been 29 weeks this coming friday. I'm actually looking forward to when Jayvan's due date passes because the fantasy will be over, but I'm dreading it at the same time! I love your little bubs name as well. Are you going to do anything with his ashes? We bought Jayvan's home as well, they're sitting on Df's bedside table at the moment because he stole him off me : )

NaeNae, Thanks! I love my little Jayvan Angel too ^^; He looks cheeky, just like his dad!

thanks for your words nae nae..i love your name! teagz i know what you mean about counting down. i'm not really i gess but i just knew yesterday was coming. i was really down and dh gave me the space to be. as for the due date/week i don't know how it'll be.today's rainy and cloudy in perth and i remember fantasizing about being home with my boy in the wintermonths etc...we bought a solid oak box for his ashes, it's pretty biggish and we're gonna put him there together with his birth and death certificates, they came last week and that was hard too and his other little bits and pieces and put it away for when we want to look through it.we're not gonna have them out in the open though. it's too private for us.
your boy's name is lovely he he he that your df stole him from you ! how sweet.

Bah! So, I've just gone to the loo and I'm pretty sure AF has just started... what... WHAT! It's only CD17?!?! Boy, this is depressing :doh: Well, at least it hasn't ruined my birthday. :rolleyes:

Noni, yeah we haven't left stuff for Jayvan out either. I would love to but I don't think that people would understand, but at the same time I don't like the idea of having him stuff away in a box up in the top cupboard. We have a puter box for his ashes that has his name engraved on it his little blanket is in there, and we have his hand and footprints framed and hanging above our bed.

M2B - Teagz -

DH and I have Nikita's box out on display but its strategically placed in our living room we have a bit of a nook so have it there with a tea light candle holder next to it and a picture of her sitting on top. Its not so evident what the box is unless you go over to it and see her name engraved on the plate on top.

You may one day want to bring the box out and have it there with you. DH and I feel that by having Nikita in the room we spend the most time in, its like she is with us all the time.

I know it sounds stupid .

In relation to the due date, I found the lead up was worse than the actual date though the date was still hard I just had to keep assuring myself that Nikita came when she was meant too, her life had purpose and when that purpose was met she left. She kept DH and I together at a time when I was getting ready to leave him. I found other dates like Christmas very difficult and who knows how things will pan out when her 1st birthday and Angelversery come round.

Anyway, try not to look ahead about the what if's take one day at a time and just accept everything that comes with it. :hug:

BTW - I got my nappies today :rolleyes: I have had them on layby for ages and they finally came they are soooo cute I love the blue, pink and yellow ones. its the bumgenius 3.0 version I have wanted them for ages since I was very first pregnant in 2007.
Now all I need is a baby tofill those nappies :rolleyes:

Love to all
Nae x

Hi ladies

Teagz - Sorry about AF. Still hoping it's a false alarm.

M2B - Welcome. So sorry for your loss. We lost Zachary at 35 weeks 5 days. It has been the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. We have Zachary's ashes at home in our bedroom in a tiny pewter box but his hand & footprint and a large photo are in our living room where we can see him every day. We also have a butterfly tealight candle holder which we light every month on the 24th (his birth date). There was no reason for Zachary's death either - we were told he was perfect. It has been hard to deal with but we have accepted it now and are happy there was nothing wrong with our angel. I hope you find comfort here, the ladies are so wonderful and supportive. Good luck with your TTC journey.

Naenae - You will fill those nappies with a happy, healthy baby!!!

Dee81 - Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you. xxxx

Beata - Thinking of you xxxx

hi to everyone else. hope you get your BFP's soon.

AFM - Yesterday was a hard day as Zachary would have been 7 months old. I can't believe it has been 7 months!!! Having our nuchal scan on 12 March - feel like it is ages away lol

Keep well everyone and good luck. Sending tons of baby dust and sticky vibes your way!!

well I don't know what's going on now! It's stopped and all it is, is light pink when I wipe with stringy bits in it. *sigh* :dunno:

Hello

Teagz, I hope its not really AF and is implantation bleeding? Fingers crossed for you. My cycle has been all over the shop since as well, so I can sympathise with the frustration, but hope that its not AF and you get a BFP soon. Also, is it your birthday Teagz? :happybirthday: You must be turning 21, woo hoo, is that right, or have I just made that up :D

Welcome Noni, I am so sorry for your loss, I really feel for you. I can understand you wanting to TTC straight away, it seems that a lot of us felt that way. I really hope its a quick journey for you and you have a beautiful baby in your arms soon. I also hope you get some answers to the loss of your angel, it must be very difficult to accept when the dr's say there was no real reason.:hug:

Naenae, I also hope you have a cute bub to wear those nappies soon. I have never heard of them, I'll have to look them up :)

Dee & Diana, praying that your little ones keep multiplying and snugging in nicely, really really praying for your both :pray::pray::pray::pray:

Take care all

Nope that's right berry! It's my 21st on the 10th :)
Yeah, I dunno... it seems to be a bit to much blood for an implanation bleed to me.

Hi Ladies,
Sorry that I have been missing for a while and about my total lack of personals. It has been very difficult for me to sit at the computer. I spent Monday in the hospital. My doctor sent me up to be put on the monitors to check for contractions. There was some blood in my urine, cramping for over 24 hours, and my pressure was up a bit. They thought that I might have a UTI causing some contractions. I was having some contractions but they stopped almost as soon as our little man decided to turn around feet first. His head was causing too much pressure on my cervix. I ordered a belly belt to hold things up a bit. I guess a lot of women need them after a few pregnancies.

I have an ultrasound on Monday in the office and I go Tuesday the 10th to have an in depth ultrasound with my high risk doctor. I will let you know how my appts. go. I am trying very hard to limit my time sitting upright for a little while. I will have to take over my DH's laptop when he gets home.

Laney -- please definitely take it easy and take care of yourself. We don't mind you not writing long posts and personals if you need to be lying down! Keep us updated if you can, but most importantly take care of you and bubs. I'll be thinking of you.

:pray: gosh Laney I hope you are ok. Just wondering if you were a candidate for a suture given your history? Would love to hear how the pregnancy belt helps, How long are you/have you been on bed rest?
A MW told me to stay on an angle with my pelvis tilted up it takes the downward pressure off - the tough was if gravity helps bubs out it can help keep them in - just a thought for you is all.

What have they suggested for you?

Love and hold tight vibes for you, tell your bub to behave and to stay in his womb until you say he can come out.

Nae x

Laney, I hope everything will be ok. Ge plenty of rest, if you need to post make sure it's coming from the flat of your back! ;) I agree with NaeNae, if gravity can help get a bub out it won't hurt to try it to keep them in!

AFM, I have a question... When you girls are on your TWW, do you act as though you are pg? Eg, no lifting heaving things, no drinking, no soft cheeses, ham etc etc? I get frustrated at work because ATM we're getting new furniture in which needs putting together, and when I'm on a TWW I don't really like doing it, but I feel stupid saying I don't want to lift heavy things just "incase" I'm pg...
Weird bleeding is still going, it's pinker now but has redder stringy bits in it (sorry for TMI) although now it looks like it has EWCM mixed in with it as well... I have no idea what my body is doing to me :dunno:

Laney, I'm sending you some extra strong cervix vibes to keep your little bubba in :hug:

DD & Dee, Sending you guy sticky vibes as well! xx

I don't know what CD you're on, Teagz, but when I had implantation bleeding I also thought it was too much to be implantation bleeding. Even though it came 4 or so days before AF was due, so I had no idea what else it could be. But it lasted 3 days for me and was much as you describe it -- EW mucusy tinged with quite a bit of blood, often pink but with bright red strings. Several of those details fly in the face of what all the Web pages say implantation bleeding should look like -- they all say brown spotting for 1 day only.

I always avoided alcohol for the most part during the 2WW, even though they say that that isn't even that important. The baby's circulatory system doesn't merge up with yours until late enough that even in super careful "not a single drop of alcohol when you're pregnant!" Sweden the docs say that alcohol before getting a BFP is not a problem. I imagine the same goes for heavy lifting and such. But if you feel uncomfortable about the lifting at work and are a good white liar, I might suggest an elbow injury? :)

ROLF, nope, not a good white liar! Well, at least I know I'm not going to do any damage.
And I'm only CD17, it seems a little early to me for it to be implantation? I guess I'm just going to have to wait it out and see what happens.

ETA, Sorry... CD18 today! but the bleeding started yesterday arvo.

Teagz - what about sore knees or back - hey I heard you strained your back getting out of bed ;) well its happened to me. CD17 ? thats only half way or just over half way into your cycle?? or do I have it wrong?
About a week ago after DTD I noticed trace amounts of blood when I wiped (sorry TMI) I went back and told DH that I was bound to get AF within a few days and nothing has happened so far. Hell I don't even kown what this cycle is doing or where I am at :lol:

If your only cd17 I would say thats possibly too early for implantation bleeding as you would have only ovulated 3 days ago roughly maybe less?
But who knows I hope you are UTD again ;)

yeah, well I'm pretty sure I ovulated on day 12, well that was a day I had alot of CM at least. But I think it is to early as well.

Hopefully you don't get AF!! Sometimes ignorance is bliss isn't it? My last 2 cycles I have counted to the day and they have been perfect and now this has thrown me completely out of whack! (I guess it was asking a bit to much for my cycle to go back to normal so quickly) I don't know whether to start counting it as an AF, or ignore it or what to do! Gosh! :rolleyes:

Hi Noni, I am sorry you have had to find yourself here but welcome to our thread and I hope you find lots of comfort and support amongst us. Not knowing what caused your precious angel to pass would be so hard so I hope you can get the answers you seek when you visit the dr. You will have many rough days hun, even when you think you're ok, so take the time to grieve, cry and vent all you need in here. I hope your time with us is short and you get your BFP very soon. :hug:

Dee, how are you sweets? Praying with all my heart for you x

Teagz, hmmm reading your first post about the bleeding I thought it could have been implantation but then realizing you are only 3DPO I'd say it is too soon. Not sure hun - may warrant another visit to the dr if it doesn't stop.

Tildy, how are you feeling now? Has your pain subsided a little?

Laney, everything is crossed for you and rest as much as you can x

Nae, could it be????? :lol:

Beata, hope you're enjoying your time away with DF and taking care of you.

Lan, how are you temps behaving? February. Together.

Theresa, glad you're doing well sweets. NT scan come up soon, best of luck!

Nothing really to report at my end. In the dreaded 2WW and I must say this is the hardest part. I think it's because everything is out of my control now, nothing I can do, no more medical intervention - it's all up to the Gods. I won't even be able to use symptoms as a sign as I'm on 400mg of progesterone pesseries a day which gives all the pg symptoms imagineable! How am I going to cope until my pg bt next Friday :noaf:

Hi pregnant mammas and a huge hug to everyone!

Teagz - try not to think about it - it might be nothing but maybe book an appointment with your Dr just in case something isn't right.

You poor thing the TWW is hard enough let alone using progesterone pesseries. Those things feel weird as they dissolve don't they. I guess the best thing you can do is trying not to think about it - easier said then done though :lol: best of luck :noaf:

Me - nahh I don't think so, I think my body is just out of whack from my m/c my first one was all over the shop and this was so easy in comparison I just don't know what to expect. When I finally passed everything with my first (7 weeks of on and off bleeding) 3 weeks later AF came.

Lets try to work it out shall we??

the first day I started to m/c was 28th Jan, I bled for 9 days then had 2 days of "coming down" before stopping on the 8th. I haven't been charting for O. I have regular 28 day cycles normally SO taking it from the first day of my m/c (which started when AF was due) I am up to CD 29?? I keep getting the feeling like AF is coming - mild cramping on the right side but nothing yet. I don't know what I am looking for when it comes to mucus :doh: We have been dtd just when the mood takes us.

Any guesses?

NaeNae, it's so tricky isn't it. You get pains when AF is ariving but then you get the pain when your uterus starts stretching to fit in bubs. You can't win! I really really hope with every little peice of my heart you are UTD. You just never know ;)

hi girls you have all been so busy again. also welcome Noni, i'm so sorry about your little angel but the you can take comfort that the girls in here are absolutely wonderful.
well the time is ticking by so slow i'm with diana this tww is a killer, i'm also on pesseries i'm on both the wax dissolve ones and the cream sorry have forgot their names am also taking provera everyday and have been sick the last two mornings i think its just a combination of all the drugs kicking in. because i got pregnant last time i am looking at every symptom thinking is this the same as last or not it is doing my head in how am i gunna be by the end. :). Teagz i'm so sorry that your body is mucking you around hope you are feeling better, i agree with the girls fake an injury. hello to all you pregnant mumma's out their and all those other wonderful ladies as well.

Hi ladies,

I've been quiet but I do lurk.

Laney, I'm so sorry to hear of your issues :( hope things get back on track for you soon. Take it easy and pamper yourself.

Noni, welcome to the thread, I'm sure you'll find the women here wonderfully supportive. We lost our son at 22 weeks for no apparent reason also, it's horrible but know that 'unexplained' is the most common 'cause' of stillbirth. It's scary but it very rarely repeats in the same woman.

Nae, glad to find someone else who's into modern cloth nappies!! I'm totally addicted, I have 16 in various brands and plan to try them to see which ones I want. I have a couple of bumgenius. I have spent so much now that we're locked in now, can't justify that much money then use disposables!!! When you have you bub they'll be there and look very cute :)

As for me, we had our last scan yesterday, all looking good, looking at booking in for the Caesar in about 4 weeks.

Stay well ladies, hoping this month is all your months and the embies are super sticky!!!

Love Rozzie

Hi lovelies,

Oh wow, it has been busy in here!

Firstly, welcome Noni and I'm very sorry for your loss. I've lost my son Joshua at 20 weeks, because I had a big fibroid that put too much pressure on my uterus. I've now had the fibroid removed and will do a frozen embryo transfer in a couple of months hopefully. I have Josh's ashes at home too, and I have a little corner for him with all his little bits and pieces. On his due date on 12/2 I bought him a cute blue bunny rabbit holding a blue bunny rug. I just couldn't resist it it's so cute!! Good luck on your app. in March, I hope your doctors can answer all of your questions.
Please feel free to talk whenever you feel the need to, we are all here for you. I know you'll find a lot of support here.

Laney, I'm so sorry you've just gone through a major scare. You poor love. By the sounds of it it's because little bub was putting pressure on your cervix, so please put your feet up as much as possible and rest, rest and rest!!!!!! I hope things will work themselves out soon, big hugs hun :hug:

Diana, the dreaded 2WW!! They say it's the hardest part of IVF and I can see why!! When I had my 2WW, my DF was in China for work during the second week of waiting, so because I was missing him so much, it took my mind off the actual nervous wait!! When I got my result on the Friday, he still wasn't back so I had to tell him over the phone. I so wished he was here in person.
I so hope and pray your little one is holding on tight, and I pray your wait goes quickly and that you get that beautiful phone call to say 'Congratulations, you're pregnant!!" Always thinking of you hun and always praying hard!! :pray:

Dee, I'm glad everything went very smoothly on Tuesday, and I pray that your little emmy sticks too. When do you test hun??? I'm guessing around 10/3?? I pray for a BFP for you too hun, it would be awesome for you and Diana (our IVF ladies) to get a BFP in early March!! :pray:

Nae, not sure about your cycle hun, it's hard to tell, especially after your m/c. I think it's best to have regular 'relations' and test only when you have missed your AF. You sound like you are regular like clockwork (lucky you, me too!!!) so things should settle soon for you. Remember, have fun and enjoy each other's company.
The nappies sound so cute, a lot of people are into the cloth ones.....I must investigate this. Would have been a bit sad to get them but at the same time, exciting for the things still to come!!!!! Always praying for a BPF for you too hun, you deserve it so much :pray:

Teagz, I think implantation bleed, otherwise what is AF doing so early?????!!!! Like the girls said it could be a bit early for the implantation bleed, but I say, YOU NEVER KNOW!!!!! Praying hard :pray: this is it for you and what fabulous 21st present that would be!!!!! No AF damnit!!!

Theresa, there always going to be milestones, hey? I think it's so lovely that you light a candle for Zachary on the 24th of each month....I still light one for Josh every day, I just can't stop doing it. My DF laughed and said we'll go broke soon buying the candles LOL. I think I'm going to light them on special occasions soon...
Good luck with your nuchlan scan hun, i'm so happy little bub is doing great :dance:

Rozzie, can't believe you'll be having bub in possibly 4 weeks!!! Wow, where has the time gone?! Countinue to look after yourself and have a lovely relaxing materninty leave...

Lan and Megan, praying for BFPs for both of you girls, hope it's very soon :pray:

Beata I missed you! :hug: How was your mini holiday? As for my weird bleeding... it's stopped! For now anyway... God only knows what's going on in there!

Oooooooh, I thought I was only previewing my post, whaaaaaaat!!! I haven't finished yet.....sorry!!!!!

Second part he he

I also wanted to say good luck to Jo76 with your TCC I pray your get your BFP very soon too hun!!! :pray:

A big big hello to all out lovely mummas in waiting, hope the time flies for all of you!!!!:grouphug:

AFM, I have my doctor's appointment tomorrow morning. I think he's going to run some blood tests and in his words 'get the ball rolling'. Oh how I want to have my transfer now!! I just can't wait. The overwhelming feeling I have these days to be pregnant again is so big, I just can't wait to be in my 2WW!!!!!!!!!!
The wee trip was really relaxing, but now I'm all stressed as I have to go back to work on Monday. I just haaaaaaate my work, and I often feel stressed there. I was actually thinking of quitting, but I will lose my 12 week paid maternity leave if I leave now and get pregnant soon. Still, I hate it there, it might just tip me ove the edge and I'll quit soon anyway....:wall:

Love to all
B xxxxxxxx

hi ladies, hope you're all good today. i've been having a very thoughtful day. my bbs are sore, i'm ovulating on monday i think and i'm feeling surprisingly nervous! i've been hoping and waiting for this to happen and now i have so many thpughts in my head. like what if it happens again. we changed doctors as the last one said he wouldn't consider us high risk as it happened only once and he can't tell why...so that wasn't very encouraging. are you girls going to have different type of management in anyway? anything you didn't do last time? like i need to find a high risk doctor or something in perth, i don't know...then i read about progesterone suppositries (tmi) helping to stop preterm labour :rolleyes: sorry i know i'm just going on and on....i don't know
