Hi ladies,
It is with my greatest pleasure to announce the birth of Diana's gorgeous little boy Fabian at 10.25 am today by emergency c-section, weighing 1350 grams and measuring a whooping 45 cm. He is doing well and mum is well too, very, very excited. Little Fabian just couldn't wait to be born! Say a little prayer for him girls, he is such a little fighter from the word go, I am certain he will thrive and be home in a few weeks time.
Will come back for persies later.

Hi Chez, great to hear from you. I hope you & DH are enjoying yourselves. I really pray that you get some great news soon :pray: Take care of yourself and have a ball!
Congratulations Diana, that is wonderful news :dance: I will be praying that your little guy thrives and is home with you soon. Beata, thanks for posting the news. How many weeks was Diana, sounds like little Fabian arrived early.
Hope everyone is well.
Hi Megan, just posted the news in the Pregnancy After Late Loss thread as well for the other girlies . She went into labout at 28 weeks, her waters broke on Tuesday last week and on Monday she was checked out by the OB who said all was good and she could do more around the house! Little darling must have been in a hurry to come out. Because her waters broke they were concerned about an infection so they gave her an emergency c-cection because he was getting a bit stressed in there. He is doing well though, so all fingers & toes crossed he continues to thrive!
Hi Girls,
Megan, I am praying everything goes well for your on Friday hun, will be keeping everything crossed for you (I'm sure you won't need it!) and will be thinking of you.
My m/s is getting better after taking some ginger & B6 and some chinese herbs, fingers crossed I'm not just having a good few days temporarily!
Aries, I pray this is your month hun, bring on the BFP! :pray:
Bec, sorry you're feeling so tired, welcome to the club! Glad your hospital app. went well darl, it's funny how they fuss over us only after we've been through hell and back first :rolleyes:
Samcougar, GL in your 2WW hun, I pray for a BFP for you too! :pray:
Cheryl, I am soooooo jealous of your holiday hun! I so wish I was there too. Sounds like you're having a lovely time. Hope you didn't miss that sticky eggie!
Diana, hope your little man is doing well and thriving, give him a litle rubbie for me. I hope you're up and about soon and feeling better :hug:
Big :hello: to everyone else I missed and big :grouphug: to all!

Hi Ladies
How are you all?
Just a quick one to say Congrats to Diana - from what I have read it hasnt been the best for her lately but am extremely pleased that everything has gone well with the birth of little Fabian. I hope you are all at home safe and sound soon!
I will be testing in the morning - I cannot hold out any longer! I will be six days late (if she doesnt show up in the morning!).
I am not sure though. The only feelings/symptoms I am having are:
Bigger, rounder, leaking(!!), firmer bb's, ovary tugging (since 3DPO), lower back pain and of course the absence of AF. I have clearer skin than normal and just have a 'feeling' that I cant shake.
I have told myself that I probably didnt ovulate this month and therefore wont get AF but I did opk's and they indicated that I did ovulate so.............
I will let you know when I find out. Fingers crossed girls!!!
Hugs to all xo
Aries, thank goodness for that... the suspense is killing me!! I don't know how you've waited this long. Fingers crossed for you.
xx Bec.
Aries, that is so exciting! 6-days late, wow you have been strong in holding off. Things are looking good hun, I really hope you get that lovely second line. I'll be checking out the thread tomorrow. :pray:
AFM, I have my NT scan in the morning & my first antenatal appointment at the hosp. Praying that everything looks good.
Thanks Girls!
Best of luck for tomorrow Berry - hope all goes to plan.
So nervous........ Good night!
xox
Good Morning Ladies
BFN for me this morning. Im disappointed and now just want AF to show so that we can start again.
Still no sign of AF - so maybe my cycle isnt as reliable as I thought.....
Anyway thanks ladies, talk soon
xo
Aries, too bad :cry:.
All of the waiting is so hard. Waiting for AF, for BFP, for a living screaming baby, so hard.
Hang in there.
xx Bec.
Aries, I'm so sorry hun :hug: I know how disappointing it can be when you expect a second line & its not there. See how you go though, if AF doesn't show up in another couple of days, it could be worth testing again?
AFM, the NT scan went really well. We were both so relieved. The risk of D/S is 1 in 6500 and for other chromosonal probs 1 in 14500, so we are in the low risk category & are over the moon. So nice to see our little one moving around. Also had our first antenatal visit and the nurse was so nice. That was really my first positive scan & hospital experience. Very happy.
Have a lovely weekend.
Thanks Bec - yes the waiting is the hardest part. Im sure it will happen again one day. Thanks again for your kind words.
Berry - I am so glad your hossy visit was a positive one. Everything seems like its all on track for you - so pleased for you both.
Take care
Aries, I'm so sorry it wasn't good news this time around, but I really feel it in my waters your turn will come very soon (you can tell me to go and jump, but my predictions are usually good.... :p). Keep on going hunni, and don't lose your drive!
Megan, again congrats on your fab results!!!!!! Very very happy for you! :leap:
I haven't heard much from Diana so I will give her a call today and update you with little Fabian's progress.
Hi to all the other lovely ladies in here, hope everyone has a great weekend :p
AFM, I thought m/s was improving but the last couple of days were yucky again, so I am not getting my hopes up again when I have a good day. Hopefully it will get much better soon...
Love and hugs

Afternoon ladies!
Still waiting for AF. Now 7 days late and have really odd ovary pains. I feel nauseous and heachachey. Just waiting for her to show up.
Hope everyone is well - will catch up later on.
xo
Aries, would it be an idea to get your bloods done? Sometimes implantation can take place quite late and the levels are too low to be detected on HPTs. What do you think? I've heard of girls getting BFN on the pee stick and then getting BFP with the BT. Just suggesting it as you're feeling nauseaus & have the odd ovary pain.......
Hi Aries, has AF been fairly regular for you? You just never know, as Beata said implantation can happen late. keeping my fingers crossed for you :pray:
Hi Beata, Hi Berry
Still feeling pretty crappy. I have booked a doc appt next Monday the 7th just in case I still havent got AF and will get a blood test done then. If AF does show then I will still go and see if I can get my ovaries looked at as they have been hurting me for the last 3 weeks.
How common is not getting a positive on a HPT?
When I fell with Alexander I didnt find out until 5 weeks and 4 days on a HPT and the blood test came back at 33. Very low positive - which indicated I was only around 3 weeks pg. So there was some confusion at my 7 week dating scan as I was measuring at 5 weeks (therefore being 2 weeks behind inmy dates). Would this have been late implantation?
So either way I am going to the Docs next Monday. I hope I get a positve on a HPT before next Sunday (if AF dosent show) as I wanted to surprise DH on Fathers Day!
Berry - I really am not sure if I am regular yet. My last AF came 3 months after I gave birth to Alexander and I noted ovulation 14 days to the day before AF showed up. I have only had a regular cycle since Nov last year (after my lap for endo) and fell pg in the next cycle (December) on clomid. Then of course I didnt get AF due to being pg, until just last month when it was bang on a 28 day cycle.
I did opk's in this cycle and they (and CM) indicated that I was ovulating around day 14/15 so I was expecting AF 8 days ago now.
Other than feeling a little 'off' I have had increased CM and my cervix is highish. SO I guess I will wait it out. I dont have any HPT's left and am a little hesitant to buy them just yet as I have wasted so many on a whim. I will test again from mid week if I get more symptoms.
What do you think?
xo
Hi Aries, I know you didn't ask me! But I think what you're planning sounds great. If I were you I would hold onto a little bit of hope but do what you are planning and not test until just before father's day to double check, and then see what happens by the time your doctor's appointment comes around. Though I also think that it's not a waste of a test if it helps our sanity remain intact!! I've always hoped until AF actually shows up because you just never know what your body is up to!
Bec.
Sorry Bec! Of course you can reply, I didnt mean to exclude you!
I am just plodding along now...... the waiting is shocking but having said that I have adopted the 'what will be, will be' attitude.
Of course I hope its a pg in the making though!
How are you feeling? I hope you are well.
I hope everyone is having a fab weekend.
Is anyone close to testing yet?
xo
Hi Aires,
Exhausted!!!
DH and DD are out at the moment - at the local footy - so I'm trying to get some of my research report done.
xx Bec.
Hi Everyone..
Well I am really trying not to get excited but.... (Possible TMI, sorry) It has been 7wks since the 1st day of my last bleed I would consider a period.. (I did have a very light (brown) bleed for 3 days 4wks ago).. Because I have pretty much bled for the last 7months I am excited.. I am starting to toy with the idea I could be, Shhh, pregnant... I am so terrified to test because I don't want to be disappointed if I'm not.. I haven't told ANYONE of my little suspicion because I don't want to get my hopes up.. Possible symptoms: No period, veins are quite visible in breasts (happened last time, but maybe I am seeing what I wanna see??) Am quite tired, but it could be the hot weather lately.. I have decided if AF stays away I will test next week. I am really really hoping... :noaf: cos while AF stays away, there is a possibility!
Blessedatlast, I have my fingers & toes crossed for you. I really pray that you get a lovely BFP soon :pray:
Bec, you are doing so well with your Masters, not long to go now for you.
Aries, I think its a good sign that your last cycle was 'back to' 28-days, also if I can calculate correctly - lol, you were on day 39 last time when you got a positive on the HPT test, albeit a low result, which proved a viable pg. I'm clearly no expert, but it seems possible that Alexander did implant on the 'later side' and for you that may be completely normal. I think that there is still a good chance, but keep in mind that your cycle could be a bit 'all over the place' after your loss and still settling down. I am certainly praying that it is the first possibility for you :pray: By the way, when you say you have had 'ovulation' pain for 3-yrs, if it is 'sharp' pain at all or you start feeling unwell, make sure you see your Dr. Hoping for a BFP for you soon hun :hug:
Hello to everyone else, hope you are all well.
Ohhh I have my fingers crossed for Blessedatlast! Keep us posted. Like you I am terrified of testing.... :D
Hi Berry - Thankyou for your encouraging words. The pains that I feel are settling now but its more a ovary tugging if i can describe it. On both sides - I actually thought I was ovulating again.... but definately not sure.
Still no signs of AF - I really hope I havent set myself up for a big fall.... I confided in Mum tonight so that she is ready with a hug should I need it! I havent told anyone else because I want to keep it a surprise but also dont want to get anyone elses hopes up either. DH knows that AF hasnt shown up but hasnt put two and two together yet :rolleyes: !!
Having said that I am ready if AF shows too so we will just wait and see - although I am now 9 days late (Yes I am counting!) and am ready to know!!!
Hi to everyone else I hope you are all well.
Take care
xo
Lol Aries, it sounds like we are going through the same agony of hoping but not wanting to get hopes up too high.. I haven't even said anything to DP.. To be honest I think he would be terrified.. He has admitted he is scared of trying again, but knows I am not using contraception.. I think he just expects it to take a while like it did with the twins. I would be scared too but I know we would both be thrilled at the same time.. I hope we all get our BFP's soon.. Lots of :bluedust:
Hi all, Aires that is funny about DH not realising you haven't had AF. I don't think mine would either. I never thought about it before.
Blessed at last, maybe you should test before it would be too late to have a dating scan, just in case you get a BFP. It sounds like you might need one if you do and they are best done early on (like 8 weeks or something) aren't they?
And thanks Berry! Can't wait til it's handed in and I get my life back.
Babydust all round!!
xx Bec.
Well I have been put out of my misery! AF came today :( I hope my cycles get back to normal.. At least I am not bleeding constantly now though! Hopefully I will have a normal 5 - 7 day period and not get another one for another 6 wks.. (Or at all!)
:hug: Blessedatlast...:hug:
Blessedatlast :hug: to you, Im sorry AF showed up for you hun - fingers crossed for next cycle.
Take care
xo
Hi Girls,
Blessedatlast, I'm sorry hun, it sucks sometimes! Hoping and praying for you that your turn comes sooner than you think! :pray:
Aries, stay away AF and bring on a nice BFP for you hun :pray:
Bec, hope you get some energy back soon hun. I am just starting to see a bigger improvement, still tired in the afternoons but the nausea a lot better now. Keeping my fingers corssed I get some good energy soon!
Megan, hi hunni! Hope you're feeling heaps better now, sending you big hugs. Diana's little man is doing great, so all of our prayers are being heard!
Hello to everyone else out there :hello:
Love
B xxx
Blessed, so sorry to hear that AF arrived, it is a difficult time waiting for your cycle to return to normal. I really hope that happens for you soon and you get a lovely BFP in no time.
Aries, how are you going hun. Still praying for some good news from you.
Beata, glad you are feeling better. So glad to hear that Diana's little guy is doing well, that's fantastic news. It must have been such a frightening time for her & her DH.
I am very tired at the moment, but doing ok. Hope that we get some BFP's in here soon.
Hi Ladies
Hi Berry - hope you are keeping well. I am doing ok - convinced AF is on her way but have made an appt to go and see my FS again so I am feeling good about that. Negative HPT this morning :wall: so I am pretty sure that I am not pg. If AF hasnt shown by Monday I will have a BT anyway just to be sure, but already know the answer......
Cycle day 39 today so I think my cycles are all over the place.
Blessedatlast - I hope you are travelling ok with AF and she is being nice to you!
Hi to everyone, like Berry I love to see more BFP's in here!
Hugs to all
xo
Hi Aries, sorry to hear that - bummer :( After my loss, my cycles were a little all over the place and I ended up trying acupuncture and I got a BFP in the first month. Now that could be a coincidence, as I had been trying for 6-months, but I do believe that it can regulate your cycle & assist in conception. Perhaps at least something worth reading up on. It may be helpful for you as well Blessed. I would just suggest if you do go down that road to find an acupuncturist that is experienced in fertility.
I really pray you both get your BFP soon :hug:
Hi ladies, how are you all?
BFN for me - I had my Doc's appt on Monday and she sent me for a pelvic ultrasound to investigate my pains. They found approx 23 cysts on my right ovary and 20 odd on my left ovary, so that explains my pains.
I am not ovulating hence the absence of AF. So off to the FS at the end of the month for another round or two of clomid.
Feeling pretty ok about it all - just gotta get on with it. Geez life can throw some curve balls sometimes hey? Maybe 2009 wasnt to be our year after all..........
Bring on 2010 ;)
I hope everyone is travelling along nicely.
Hugs to all

Hi All,
Aries I am sorry, I know the feeling of frustration..
Good news (kind of) for me! AF only lasted 4 days!! I went to Bris yesterday to have another app with the OB I was under with the twins to put in a plan of action for when I finally do fall pg again.. She has given me referral forms so that when I do fall pg My GP can refer me straight to her private rooms instead of Maternity so I don't 'get lost in the system' and can be seen straight away by her.. 2nd thing is I will have weekly cervix measurings from 12wks to check length of cervix (Oh how lovely lol) Then depending on that is when I will have stitch put in, if at all.. (They want to avoid it of course if they can due to risk of infection) Then she also wants me on progesterone pessaries from about wk 16 to 30.. She says that will 'calm' my uterus.. So all in all she is confident that with a singleton pregnancy we will have a successful outcome.. They wont do a stitch before 12wks because she said often when you have a miscarriage before then it is often due to the baby and not 'my body' IYKWIM?
Now all I have to do is get pregnant!! Just want to say too that it was so difficult going back to the hospital. I cried on the way up, in the carpark, and when I walked in.. I was right back there you know. :( I really really wish things went the way it should have and I would be tearing my hair out, probably not showered with piles of laundry but having 2 baby boys to cuddle..:(
hi
Just wanted to introduce myself.
I lost my daughter at the beginning of this year at 41 weeks and she died at 2 days old from oxygen deprivation during the birth, so was brain damaged.
Still hurts every day losing her.
But after lots of discussions with hubby (who isn't keen on trying again), he has relented and we are on the ttc path again.
Hope to keep in touch with you all, good luck to everyone,
Butterfly
Hi Girls,
ButterflyForever, I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious daughter. There is no greater loss or pain in the world, but there are so many of us out there and I wish there wasn't. I've lost my little boy Joshua at 20 weeks and 5 days in Oct 2008, and there is not one day that I don't think of him and wish he was here. I know he is constantly with mw every second of every day, and that is a great comfort to me. I am now pg with my second baby and I have to tell you, this group has helped me so much in getting there, I am forever grateful to those wonderful ladies. I wish you all the very best in conceiving another miracle hun :crossfingers: and welcome to this wonderful group!
Aries, I'm sorry it was a BFN for you hunni :hug:. Keep on going though b/c it is just a matter of time, and I wish you every success with TTC.
Blessedatlast, GL to you too sweets, I hope your wait is very short. I'm sorry going back to the hospital where you had your precious little boys was so hard, I had to go back to mine a few times after I lost Josh to pick up some photos etc, it was so hard just looking at the building. I have chosen another hospital this time but only b/c I had to go with a new OB (my old one dumped me!! lol, he isnt doing obstetrics anymore) so this OB deliveres a bit closed to home and it's where I did my IVF so I am familiar with the territory!
Meagan, Teagz, Diana, Bec & Samcougar, hello lovelies and I hope you're all doing well!
I've hear from Diana today and her little boy is doing fantastic, so thank you again for all your prayers. You're the best!
AFM, I haven't been on belly that much, very tired and had to look after mum and dad's house for 3 weeks while they were away o/s so that took a lot out of me! I have my 13 wk scan next week, wish me luck girls! I'm a bit nervous but feeling good and staying optimistic so that's something!
Lots of love and :grouphug: to all!

Hi all,
Butterfly Forever, so sorry to hear about your daughter. Our son Luca was stillborn in January when I was 35 weeks pregnant. The grief and the loss is just hideous. I'm pregnant again now (9 weeks), so I don't come in here much, but wanted to wish you all the very best with TTC. I hope your husband warms more to the idea.
Blessed at last, that's great having a plan for your next pregnancy. For me, it definitely helped me be a bit less anxious. I also have found it hard going back to the hospital. I'm going there this time because they are being over the top careful with my care and that's too good to miss out on, but there are so many reminders. Hope you don't have too much longer to wait to conceive!
Aries, glad you found out what was causing the pain. Do you have to do anything about the cysts? It's good to have a plan with your FS... something to hope for.
Beata, good luck with your scan!
Hi to everyone else!!
xx Bec.
Hi Ladies
Bec - Ive been told that the clomid will help with the ovulation side of it but nothing has been said about the little hitch hikers (DH's wording ;)) on my ovaries! I guess they will settle with each cycle. Wow 9 weeks already - hope you are well xo
Beata - Thanks for your encouragement :D, I hope you are travelling along nicley at the moment xo
ButterflyForever - I am so sorry you have found yourself in this thread. I hope the TTC journey is short for you :pray:
I am finding the emotions hard with TTC baby number 2 - DH is taking the approach of 'what will be will be' whereas I am tracking every motion, feeling & pain to be pregnant again. I guess the hardest part I have found is that I want to go back to where I was, not start the 'process' all over again. GL with it all xo
Blessedatlast - I am so glad that you have a plan. I have a feeling we will be seeing an announcement soon! My friend who I was pg with has just delivered her healthy bub and I feel terrible but I couldnt go to the hospital to see her. Its so close to my Alexander's supposed due date and the hospital just doesnt feel right yet. She says she understands but im not too sure (I feel pretty selfish that I couldnt put it behind me actually). I will see her when she settles at home. Honey you did really well and next time you will walk out to those cuddles! :hug: GL xo
Hi to all, I hope you are all well
Take care
Hello ButterflyForever, I am so sorry for your loss :hug: Every loss is traumatic but I particularly feel for those who lost a baby at full term, I just can't imagine. I wish you all the very best for your ttc journey and pray that it is a really short one. We will give you all the support you need here. BTW - I too lost a daughter, at 19-weeks & am currently 14-wks pg (can't keep away from this thread, like to support the girls that were so good to me). There are times that you never think its going to happen again, but it will. Big hugs to you.
Blessedatlast, glad that you have a plan for when you get your BFP, sounds like you'll get great care. It is challenging going back to the same hospital again :hug: There are a couple of ladies that have been in here that have had a stitch and from what I'd read so far, had great results. There may be a thread in this section already on it or you could always start one, I have always found the ladies who have been 'here' more than willing to share their experiences to help others.
Aries, I can't believe they found that many cysts, oh my gosh you poor thing. I have had cysts on my ovaries before as well, but usually one almighty nasty one, not lots of smaller one. Glad that they know what to treat you for now.
Beata, all the best for you scan, I am sure you are going to be absolutely fine hun. thinking of you.
Hello to everyone else.
hi ladies,
thank you for all your kind words and support,
Blessedatlast - it is really hard going back to the hossy, I have had to a few times after losing my daughter. I am now a member of the ICU support/fundraising group and have to go back once a month, it does get easier, I have to walk past the room where her ventilator was and I still look every time.
beata70 - good luck with the scan.
mummabec - congrats on the pregnancy, hope all going well.
Aries - you are going through a rough time as well, crossing fingers that it all works out for you.
Berry1 - congrats on the pregnancy, hope all going well.
Afm - got af today, but only just started trying so not too disheartened yet. Will just have to try harder this cycle, that will please hubby.
How long has it taken the pregnant mummies to conceive?
I have several factors going against me, age, uterine scaring and scarred cervix, but am still going to try, will always regret it if I don't.
Take care all,
