Lan - Thank you for your good vibes, crossing my fingers you are right! I am glad you got some answers back from Hamish's autopsy, I really hope it has helped put your mind at ease a little.
Jo - I hope you are getting the love you need, we are all here if you need us.
Katie - 30 weeks Can't wait till that is me!
Tildy - I too read your post in the preg thread, I remember the first time I had ever so light spotting and I knew it was not going to end well with my 1st miscarriage, BUT when I had it again with my DS, I remember the initial shock, but then the feeling that this time it was different, and it was! So I think your ability to deal with this episode my just be your inner source telling you things will be OK.
Rozzie - How are you going?
Sue - I hope you are looking after yourself
Cindee - I can't remember if I have congratulated you already, but
Danek, Mrs Robbo, - How are you doing?
I have been very emotional over last week, esp the last couple of days. I need to go to bed and just switch off, but my mind is ALL over the place, and of course DH and I read an article in the paper today about twins that were born here at the Mater (where I was) at 24 wks weighing less than Cooper and they are now 100 days old and are doing fantastically! Don't get me wrong it is wonderful, but I can't help but think, Cooper was only 2 days short of that, why didn't they try. I know deep down, it was too soon for him but it just isn't fair!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for my selfish rant.....
Hi, everyone. We've just gotten back from a weekend with my in-laws and it's time for bed, so I just wanted to post to make sure I didn't miss posting something I've been waiting to post...
Katie -- 30 weeks!
I'm very glad to see that ticker. I hope your worry can lessen now for every day that passes and that having your little girl will make up for having to worry when you should have been able to be only happy and excited.
Tildy - thank you so much. Your post has made me smile and given me the boost I needed.
I hope you are doing ok - and yes you do sound very at peace with yourself and this baby. I honestly hope that this baby will be able to hang on and that this heamatoma has bled for the last time! I hope you had a lovely weekend at your in-laws.
Hi to all - will come back later after I have had my cup of tea. Just going to watch the sunrise.
I am totally totally confused and my mind is racing....
OK here is my story
Sat, my temp went up to 36.80 and on Sun 36.89, so I though I would do a test (would have been 14 dpo). Didnt use first urine, but I got a slight positive.
Anyway still have been spotting (not much though) and today my temp dropped to 36.71 (though I did my temp 1 hour before normal and didnt get much sleep as my mind was racing).
If I am pregnant, I think it is doomed, as I have had spotting since 8 dpo.
Heading off to Dr's today as I had an appointment anyway to ask about progesterone levels etc. So I will check.
Sue, I will keep my fingers crossed for you that the spotting is nothing serious. Please let us know what your dr has to say. I had a temp drop on Day 29-30 and then my temp slowly rose again after that. Good luck and I will say a prayer for you.
I've been away in the country all weekend but have been thinking about how everyone is going.
Jo: you and Madison were in my thoughts on Friday. I hope Madison's farewell was exactly the way you wanted it. I would love to hear how your day went if you feel like sharing.
Sue: i hope you get good news at the doc's today. I will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.
Tildy: I haven't been to PG thread but I hope everything is going ok for you
Katie: HOORAY on 30 weeks. I hope you can feel us all cheering you on every step of the way. Who would have thought 40 weeks could be such a long and anxious time. You may have already mentioned this before I joined the group but are you going full term or are you being induced, ceasar etc. My OB mentioned being induced at 38 or even 34 weeks next time round and I was wondering if anyone else has had this come up.
To everyone else, I hope life is heading in the direction you want. DH, DS and I are off to Dunk Island next Sunday and have never needed a break as much as we need this one. So I've decided not to think about ttc until after we've had that break and then decide what we should do. I get anxious enough waiting to hear how all you girls are going let alone if it was me!
MrsRobbo, glad to hear you are taking a holiday to Dunk Island. It will be wonderfully relaxing and I am sure exactly what you need. It has made me think that DH and I need a weekend away where we do nothing but eat and sleep!
Thanks also for the 30 weeks congrats - it is lovely how excited you are all for me. It makes me feel very special. My ob has told me that there is no reason for me not to expect to have a full term (40 week) natural birth. I don't have any clotting disorders etc, so until further notice I am going the full term and waiting for nature to takes it course. I have the swab at 36 weeks so I suppose that may make a difference, but so far all steam ahead.
Can you all tell I am avoiding doing work today. So bad! I will probably end up posting a million times to avoid getting a report finished.
Sue, given your experience it's understandable that you'd expect the worst. I looked at your chart though and I don't think that anything there's that different to mine was, I had spotting at 8, 10 and 11 DPO (and I had a BFP at 10DPO) and a temperature drop before a slow climb back to high levels. Anyway, as always it's just a wait and see game but I guess it's great you can get pregnant, I thought you had to use IVF?
Oh, Sue. I know it's hard to be positive. The rest of us are generating all the hope that you say you don't have. Just like you guys seem to have more positive thoughts about my bubs sometimes than what I can muster myself.
I'd say "try not to worry about the spotting," but I know it's impossible. But if we choose to believe the 10 or 12 doctors I've met both this and last pregnancy, I could spot all the time and they wouldn't be concerned. I've had two bright red gushes of blood in the last two weeks (I would have filled up a pad if I'd been lucky enough to be wearing one) and they're still very "You have a hematoma. It happens, and we're not worried, so you shouldn't be." I'm starting to believe them because I'm starting to realize that there is no benefit to me in not believing them. Plus, every page I've read on the net seems to agree with them.
We'll be here to hold you up, and we'll try not to get too jump-up-and-down excited yet. I understand that you're wary of that; DH and I still are as well. Let us know what doc says.
Work has been so busy, I'm having trouble keeping up with BB. I know, how dare they interfere with my BB time! I'm seriously addicted to you guys. Sometimes I sit there and think about one of you, especially if you're having a scare or you just got a BFP. It's amazing that I've never met any of you but I feel like I know you so well.
Katie, have you heard from Jo at all?
Sue, I know you were seeing a naturopath, have you considered acupuncture? I see one (as you probably remember) but reading the literature on the practice, it seems that acupuncture is good for tweaking things. I thought it may be effective for your spotting.
Roz, before I went back to work, my boss sent an email around to everyone on my floor and people I usually talk to interstate to let them know that I was coming back, what my circumstances were, and to expect that I may want to cry, or not talk etc. That really helped me. Is there anyone who can do that for you?
Hugs to everyone - hey Roz and Tildy, one more week and you're into double digits on your ticker!
BTW, is anyone on Facebook? I recently joined that 21st century and got an account.
Rozzie - I think I have just friend requested you...at least I hope it is you! Otherwise some poor Roslyn will get a message saying 'Hi Katiegirl here'.
Firstly I want to thank you all for being so understanding. I know I was pretty negative yesterday, but I think it is just a "protective" act.
and also want to thank you all for your positive thoughts, I really do appreciate it.
Well, went to the Dr's yesterday and it took me a while to get around to telling her. I was going on about progesterone and the spotting etc etc and then I suddenly burst out that I did a test and got a light positive.
Well she also wanted to do a test and again it was lighter than normal (but darker than mine which was done in the morning and yesterday I drank 2 ltrs of water), though she did mention that I am only just 4 weeks and that could be the reason and depending on when the embryo implanted.
So she is checking for viability, I had a blood test done yesterday at 4pm and on Wednesday I have to go and have another blood test at 4pm.
Yesterday night I started feeling some cramps etc, and bb's are feeling a bit sore, so hopefully these are good signs.
