TTC AFTER Late Loss/Recurrent Miscarriage/ Stillbirth

[Miss.B]

Hi Girls,

Megan, I would faint too if they said there is four! lol. I guess that would be very rare but it must be a chance! I would be over the moon if I ended up with one healthy bubbie

Dee, I hope you're holding up OK hun. Sending you many hugs my love

Diana, I'm really glad things are improving for you sweetheart, keep on going strong!

Jo, thanks for you message hun and nice to hear from you! I'm glad things are going well with you and Kaitlyn.
I told Diana I could give her your number if she wanted. Today she said that the bleeding has slowed right down and it's only a bit of spotting now. The doc said he'd like for her to stay in hospital for another week and then she might be able to go home. I really hope and pray she's able to go home soon

Hi Bec, Cheryl, Teagz & TM, hope you're all doing well

Well, nothing new to report from me girls, just counting down the 3 or so weeks until my transfer. Yay!

Hi to everyone else out there, and big hugs to all

& for all of us TTC!!!

Love B xxx

Hi Girls,

Beata, thanks for keeping us updated with how Diana is, glad to hear things are getting better. We are thinking of you Diana, I pray the bleeding has stopped and you get the ok to go home soon. Take good care of yourself

Beata, 3-weeks and counting, not long at all. I will be sending up lots of prayers and sticky vibes for you

Jo, good to hear from you. I can't believe Kaitlyn is 2-months old, has it been that long since you've been in here. Glad that everything is going well. Enjoy every minute of it.

Dee, I hope you are doing ok hun.

Hi to Cheryl, TM & Bec, I hope you all are well.

AFM, really hoping this month is it. I see the AP again tomorrow. Thinking lots of sticky vibes & baby dust for all of us

Megan, thanks so much for your prayers and wishes! It's really starting to sink in it's only 3 weeks to go. Very excited and nervous all at once. I really hope I get my BFP soon
I so hope this is it for you too hun, I'm sending you all the sticky vibes in the universe and more!!! I'm praying very hard for your BFP very very soon

Diana, I hope you're feeling much better now, hopefully not long for you to go until you can go home.

Hi everyone

I don't know where the past week has gone too but I have been thinking of you all and sending lots of positive vibes your way!

Dee, I'm so sorry that your DH has found someone else. How are you coping with being in such a small town? I really hope you have the support you need right now, take care and know we're thinking of you. And I would be really pleased if you kept posting in this thread. We're all here for support, so lean on us!

Megan, I'm glad that you have felt some benefit from your AP sessions. What you said definitely did resonate with me, I will explain more after persies. Heres hoping that this will work for you soon.

Teagz, thanks for dropping in and checking on us. Hope your doing well. Thinking of you.

Beata, wow - three weeks until transfer! That's so close. I wish you lot of luck and sticky vibes. Take good care of yourself, just in case you get twins or more!

Diana, I'm really pleased that the bleeding has almost finished. What a scare! Sounds like you are in good hands with your ob though, so try to relax and regain your strength. Take care.

Jo, thanks for your good wishes and keeping an eye on us. It's nice to hear from you.

Bec, it's amazing how long it can take to get organised to get some milk isn't it? Well done for getting through your friend's farewell. That must have been very challenging for you, so you need to be kind to yourself that you got through it. I see the two women at work with their growing bellies and I want to say something to them, to enjoy it now and everyday, because you never know what is around the corner. But I don't. I think they will think I am crazy, or I might upset them. So I just smile and say hello and pretend that I don't notice they're pg. It's easier that way, for me and for them.

AFM, well no sign of AF yet. My TCM has been madly researching. She has even been looking at the western medicine side of things. She has found quite a bit of research that says my system has essentially shut down because the link between the hypothalumus and the pituatary gland is not working. These parts of the brain control our hormones and without them I won't ovualte or have a period. So I had an intensive session of needles yesterday morning and am on a new set of herbs. This is apparently text book of someone who has had a pg loss and she believes she can get me sorted out so that I can start having a regular cycle again. A lot of it is brought about because of the physical and emotional trauma that I have been through, so the herbs are working on rebuilding my blood (and uterine lining), healing my heart and boosting the kidney yin. Which brings me to what Megan and Beata have been discussing...

Yes the kidneys are definitely important. Your AP should be able to feel your kidney pulse and your heart pulse. Not sure how they are differentiated. When I first started AP my kidney pulse was weak. I found that by reducing stress and increasing my exercise, my kidney pulse improved. That was when I fell pg. Now my kidney pulse is 'substantial' but my heart pulse is weak, most likely from the trauma and grief. So now I am working on mending that.

Take care all and will try to get back more regularly,

Chez, I'm so glad you have found the benifits of those yummy herbs! I quite often go to my naturopath over my Dr if I'm sick, i find I respond to natural medication ALOT better.
I know what you mean about those pregnant ladies. I let slip once... and yeah, you get that "your crazy" look.

Beata, not long noooow! *dances along the sidelines doned in a cheerleaders outfit. The warm kind because it's freezing here atm!* I can't wait.

He lets her fluff around.

Mummabec, Does your DD have DH wrapped around her little finger? I think of DF with a bubby girl and it's laughable. He'd be a total pushover, 6"3' of absolute man goo! All his little neice has to do is put her arms up for a cuddle and he goes to mush - and she knows it too, he's her "favourite" at the moment.

[mummabec]

Hi all,

Teagz, yes she has very much got DH wrapped around her little finger. He is hopeless but in a sweet way. When she's fluffing around when it's time to leave or do something, he's ridiculously patient with her. He never wants to hurt her feelings and I often catch him noticing something cute she's doing and putting his tongue at the side of his mouth like he does when he thinks something's cute. I doubt he knows he's doing it but now she's 3 1/2 and he's still gush.

Cheryl, sounds like your TCM is really on your side cheering for you and trying to work out what's best for you. That's great. Hope it works really soon for you.

Berry, hope the AP went well again.

Beata, that's so exciting. Will be transfer time before you know it!

Dee, of course you should still be here if you find support here. This is the time to gather around all the support you can get.

Diana, hope you are going better.

AFM, AF did come. No big surprise there but always disappointing none the less. In some ways I feel like this time TTC has joined on to the time spent TTC with Luca. Of course I had my precious boy in the meantime, but I guess it hasn't really been that long since we were last TTC. He was conceived last May.
Not much else to report. Still heartbroken. I bought four books on grief online the other day. Looking forward to them arriving - everything helps a little big. We're going to Mackay for a week on monday though

xx bec.

Bec, sorry that AF arrived I know what you mean about the ttc time 'joining up', it has now been 15-months since I first started ttc and that can be quite depressing, I know I had a beautiful girl in the middle there, its just not something I ever expected, I thought I'd have a baby by now. The books sound good, whatever helps you grieve is a good thing and I think will assist in helping your body to heal as well, as I believe we are body, mind & spirit and you do need all three to be healthy & in harmony. Have a wonderful time in Mackay

Cheryl, it sounds like your TCM is really doing all she/he can to help find a solution for you. I really hope that intensive needle session helps and you get AF soon. I've never heard of the 'kidney' pulse. My TCM talks about the 'kidney' system as you know not just the organ, but never about the pulse. She talks about needing to get my foundation stronger. You are in my thoughts & prayers hun, I really pray that your body gets back to 'normal' soon. Hang in there and try to be at peace about it in your mind. You WILL get there, our bodies are very complex and pregnancy takes a big toll on them, so it will just take a little bit of time to heal, not to mention the emotional side

Dee, I hope you are doing ok and are getting lots of support.

Hi Teagz, I hope you are well. How far are you now, Its difficult to keep up without seeing your ticker. Are you in the 2nd trimester yet? I hope to catch you up really soon

Beata, it must be about 2-weeks now? We will all be counting down with you and sending strong baby & sticky vibes your way. I hope you are feeling good.

Diana, I hope you are doing ok now hun. Let us know how you are when your back on your feet and able to post.

AFM, I'm now in the TWW, I was getting a bit worried as my chart wasn't that clear this month, but all looks well now. I think this is going to be a difficult TWW for me, this is going to sound a bit weird but I have had a feeling about this month, or having a baby in March, its been on the brain for a loooong time now, so I'll know either way soon, so it will be a relief in a way even if its a BFN as I can stop thinking about it and let things just happen, difficult to explain without going into a long story, but hopefully that makes a little bit of sense? - LOL. I also have another AP session on Monday to help any little embies attach, so fingers crossed.

Babydust to all and have a lovely weekend.
