Wow, you guys have been so busy!!
Berry - You are such a strong wonderful mother, to go through what you had to I could not imagine. Be assured your baby girl is saying thank you mummy for not letting her suffer. Welcome.
Laney - Bleeding is so scary, hugs to you, this is my first pregnancy touch wood that I haven't had any significant bleeding in the first trimester, bizarre.
Hi to everyone, well went in to my Ob appt with all my defence armour on, and didn't really need it! Basically he just said what you are asking is not unreasonable went through the pros and cons, gave me some medical study papers to read (which I think I have already read),and said how about next Wed?? All sorted, YAY!!! and I have to say I am pretty chuffed as he is the Head of Obstetrics and he will be doing the surgery. So I feel very relieved but now quite anxious that it will all be OK, as like he said (and I know) it isn't foolproof, things can still go wrong, but I am in a much better position for it to go right.
Gotta fly having another really busy day.

Hi Ladies, wow how busy you've been since I've been away!
Berry, sorry to have to welcome you to this group but glad you found us. My heart goes out to you and DH for the decision you had to make. I agree with the other girls that your angel Jasmine is thanking you and will be with you always. She will have lots of friends up there in heaven as you now have here with us :)
Everyone else seems to be travelling great guns. Laney, bugger about the bleeding but relieved that you have a heartbeat. So many of the girls here have had plenty of bleeding along the way so try not to stress. I can't believe all the trouble you've had with your US booking though. Don't these people know how much you already have to deal with without them adding to it.
As for me, AF is due tomorrow and DH and I have decided to run one more cycle and then TTC in late Dec/Jan. I can't remember my last post about my meds etc but I took myself off the thyroid meds as my own research showed I had gone from hypothyroid to text book hyperthyroid. I think I was only showing symptoms of hypothyroid because my progesterone was low. Since I have stopped taking the thyroid and only been using the progesterone cream I have felt amazing. My heart palpitations and shaky hands etc have stopped and I am no longer having panic attacks etc and worrying about dying every second of the day. I am like a new woman. I have not even had a single PMS symptom (very unusual for me) which is a miracle considering I have been stuck on a train for 3hrs every day in peak hour commute.
Anyway, right now I so want to start ttc this month and so desperately want to be PG but I am also worried that as the thyroid stuff had such a strong effect on me that it might still be in my system and muck stuff up with the bub. I'm not sure I could handle the stress of worrying about that on top of everything else when I do get PG. On the other hand I have had such an amazing result with the progesterone cream that I feel like I have found the answer I've been searching for.
If you girls starting coming back with BFP's I probably wont' be able to help myself. It would be so lovely to have a BFP for xmas wouldn't it. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrgh. I AM TOTALLY CONFUSED!!
Xmas is such a tough time isn't it. DH and I were talking about what to get Ethan today and he is at that age where a trampoline or cubby house would be perfect but I always pictured that being a gift santa would give to 2 kids and the thought of him having no-one to play in it with just makes me so sad. DH pointed out that there really is no point waiting because even if all goes well with the next pregnancy, it will still be 2-3 years before the new bub will be ready to play in cubby houses etc. By then Ethan will be 7 or 8 and maybe too old for it.
It just makes me angry because... well... you all know why, I should stop raving now.
hugs to all and I can't remember who said they were getting the baby dust out (Tildy i think), good idea, we haven't needed it in here for awhile.
love
Paula

Hi ladies,
Berry, welcome and big hugs. You have had to be very brave to do what's best for your daughter and I hope you can find comfort and an outlet for your issues in this forum as I have.
Paula, so glad to hear you're feeling better!! Your story about Christmas is sad, there are so many issues with Christmases after losing a baby aren't there?
Helen, that's great that the OB is taking your case seriously and doing the surgery personally. It sounds like you're in safe hands. I hope the surgery goes well for you.
Katie, where are our pictures of Anna?! stop hogging her all to yourself :)
Lan, I'm still here, reading every day. Sorry to hear the girls in your team are being difficult.
Laney, so sorry to hear about your bleeding and medical mix-ups :( really not what you need at the moment is it. But you know there's a heartbeat and you're on clexane so you're probably fine, try and relax and enjoy your holiday (I assume you get a holiday for thanksgiving, obviously we don't have it here)
Diana, so sorry to hear your cycles are all over the place... is it possible that stress and worry are making your cycles abnormal? That's what the doctors told me was happening. At least the FS is trying to get things going.
Bulliej, it must have been hard to get the pathology results back for your bub... I guess at least you know why it happened and that it was beyond your control. I hope you get the answers you need from your appointment.
Jo, I just wanted to say that Clexane and aspirin is probably a really good thing... there are clotting factors they haven't discovered yet and sometimes there is no evidence even though that is the problem. My high risk OB told me that clexane and aspirin help with the implantation and devlopment of the placenta and are low risk. I hope that taking it can give you a little bit of confidence. Also, that was so lovely of your mother... I think part of the isolation we feel is that other's don't share our grief or appreciate how important our angels are, it's lovely that your family does.
Hi to all the other ladies
As for me, tomorrow is D-day, the day in the pregnancy Edward died :( I'm feeling not too bad. We have some stuff planned for the weekend to try and distract ourselves, seeing the new bond movie and having dinner and whatever else we feel like. I think on Tuesday I'll feel better as it was Fri- Mon that the whole saga unfolded. It will feel quite strange to be further along than I ever got last time, but very nice. Bub is still kicking like mad at time, he/she has loads of energy sometimes and seemingly more than four limbs!!! Ultrasound next wednesday and finally see the doctor (haven't seen him since 12 weeks).
Love Rozzie

wow!
everyone is right -it has been a busy day! but i love getting on and seeing all these messages -preferable nice happy ones!
laney -sorry -still have'nt emailed you! time is going someplace i don't know where!!! but I AM happy to hear you have a heartbeat and i can't remember who said but they used Tildy as an example of bleeding and still a wonderful progressing preg so I know you must be at least a bit stressed but try to keep positive! THERE IS A HEARTBEAT!! Thats great!!!
Hammi - i have a bad feeling that this month is not my month so i have dec but am skipping Jan TTC as that would result in more Oct earth babies and i have 2 already in that month!! (plus their cousin) i would love us to be BFPing at the same time too!:bluedust::crossfingers:
Rozzie -if i could reach through the screen and hug you now i would! Take care tomorrow and i hope there is at least some happy memories of edward that you can think of in your grieving to get through the day a little easier...:hug: Thanks for your feedback on the treatments too! its always nice to have some more personal backup!
mrs robbo -gee you are eager too! ha! you'll probably beat me and hammi to the BFP...you wait!! lol! next month is not that far away....but am so glad you are feeling better emotionally and physically. it just makes the hugest difference! get the cubby house...we bought the kids a new one for this house as we had to leave the old one at the old house and we bought it thinking these kids are still young enough to enjoy it but thinming at the time that Madison would get the use out of it too...so i get your train of thought. But they are sooooo fun!!! Em talks to herself like there are 1000 people in the room with her so they'll encourage that imaginative play even on their own.
hgirs -yay for next wednesday!!its all falling into place for you...
gotta go and finish tea...more personals next post!

Hello Ladies,
Thank you to everyone for their kind words of welcome & support, it's been so overwhelming to hear back from so many of you in such a short time!
I think it will take a while for me to get to know everyone and where you are at in your journey.
Laney, sorry to hear about the bleeding, as many have said this is not uncommon, a heartbeat is fantastic, all the best. Rozzie, thinking of you tomorrow, enjoy the time out with your DH and importantly enjoy your little ones kicks of reassurance.
Here's to Christmas babies for those that are trying. Thanks again to everyone, you have been wonderful.
Berry

YAY Helen, so glad your OB was obliging, great news. :)
Paula, so glad you?re feeling better now. Can you ask your OB if it?s ok to start trying this month? Yes, this is a very hard time of year for us and it would be absolutely heart warming if we could get a few BFPs in here before Christmas. Get the gift you?re thinking of. I?m sure Ethan would love it and most kids amuse themselves anyway.
Hi to everyone else!
Hi Rozzie, thinking of you today and sending you the biggest hug I can muster up. I hope you get through the day ok and little one sends you lots of kick hugs to comfort you. :hug:

Rozzie, I hope yesterday went as well as it could have.
Katie, Anna is beautiful. I hope you keep posting updated photos.
Jo, have you taken a test yet? I know that you have a few days before AF is due but I usually have early positives. All except this pregnancy tested + 5 days before AF was due. I can't wait to hear the news.
My ultrasound went good. The edge of the placenta is right at my cervix. It could be causing the on and off bleeding. It looks like it is up high enough that it shouldn't be a problem in the future. The baby is measuring almost a week older than the first scan at 6 weeks and a couple days farther along than my 8 week scan. I guess that I am closer to 12 weeks now. So no signs of a problem there. I have had a problem with large functioning cysts on my ovaries in my other pregnancies and there isn't any at all this time around. It was nice to see a wiggly little baby not a tiny still seahorse.
