Trying to Conceive after Still Birth/Recurrent Miscarriage/Late Loss ~ February 2009
If you have found yourself in this forum you no doubt have had a painful journey. TTC after recurrent miscarriage/stillbirth or Late Loss takes special courage and support. The aim of this forum is to provide a place where women who have endured loss can share their stories, friendships, treatments and triumphs!
My greatest wish is that you all leave this forum with nice big fat positives in the shortest possible time!!!
I hope so much that this month is YOUR month.

I just wrote a really long post and the moderator closed the thread and I lost it all !
Beata, enjoy the bbq in Joshua's memory tonight. I hope you get through the day ok and as Teagz said, we are all on standby for you. I hope your friends and family bring you much comfort and support x
Teagz, I hope and pray you get that lovely birthday gift! Your plans for V day sound lovely. Enjoy!
Berry, copythe FF link and post your chart on here like Paula did and then the FF experts can give you some advice. As for your thoughts about m/s last month, it may have been hun but unfortunately you will never know now. I hope and pray this is your month
Hi Jo, I am so happy to see your ticker moving forward - it really warms my heart each time I see it. Have a lovely Valentines day doing up the nursery. Couldn't think of anything nicer I'd rather do.
Dee, good luck for your transfer. I hope IVF brings us our much longed for BFP this month
DH & I don't normally do anything for V day as he spoils me often anyway so I have forbidden him to buy me anything on that day. Girls, he often goes shopping and buys me clothes with accessories to match! He is such a gem, and he loves his labels so no complaints here!
Beata, huge hugs again.

Just wanted to say thanks for your info. I will check out this fertility friend today. I started back at work on Monday and its making a big difference.
Also, I thought I would share some advice I was given and it appears to be helping mentally. I exercise every day now (I run about 2kms) and I read a positive affirmation every day. I know that sounds really lame but they say that chemically we need the right balance of endorphins and serotonin so my bumming around the house and watching sex and the city wasn't really helping. Now I'm back at work, exercising and we'll see how that goes.
Here is an affirmation for everyone - if nothing else, I hope it makes today just a little nicer.
[I trust that everything comes at the perfect time and in the perfect way.
The universe works in perfect ways. It always serves my higher good.[/I]
Here is to heaps of exercise, happy thoughts and happy minds and then hopefully the happiest outcome of all! (Lets see if I still feel like this in about 21 days he he).
Beata hun, you know my love and thoughts are with you and your family today, you will know when the time is right for you, if ever, to release Joshua's ashes. My candle for you all is still burning and you know I have you in my thoughts and prayers as always.
Sorry for the lack of other personals, just popped in to send Beata my love.
Hi everyone! Been a little MIA, sorry, am finding it better for my sanity at the moment if I am not checking on here everyday. Not that you girls are bad for it! I guess it is all part of the journey.
Hi to Joselyn and I hate to say it but welcome back Nae, our journey's are tough ones and the women here are an endless support network.
Beata - I can't let go of Cooper's ashes, I recently told DH that when I die, I would like to have my ashes put together with Cooper's. I never new if I wanted to be cremated but making that decision was a huge relief even though I don't plan on going ANYWHERE near dead for a LONG LONG time! You will know what is right for you and your family.
We passed a huge milestone yesterday, Cooper was born at 23+5days which was the gestation I was at yesterday. I am very relieved to be past it but even more relieved to be almost past that 24wk mark. One of the daycare women this morning said to me 'wow haven't you just popped out!' I just feel really awkard being publicly excited, but I am getting better.
Sending positive vibes to everyone, esp Laney and Cindee, has anyone heard if Cindee has had her bub? I checked on facebook yesterday but nothing.
Gotta go am trying to clean out cupboards to send things to the fire appeal.
Hi guys... just wanted to say that with this pg lady, it is true that no news is good news. The reason for the no news is that I'm so physically exhausted and in so many different kinds of pain that I'm falling to bits -- I'm planning on going to my boss today (it's currently 3 am and I'm awake already!) and pleading for mercy to start maternity leave earlier than I originally stated. But everything is tip-top with Kebab, and that's what counts.
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.
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!
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 i'm so happy for you ! and teaggz, good luck to us
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 I love your avatar, I so wanted an angel put in mine.
Dee here is to a long happy and healthy 9 months.
Beata love your new avatar too looks so lovely. Enjoy your holiday. x 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!
