TTC AFTER Late Loss/Recurrent Miscarriage/ Stillbirth

Hi Girls,

Aries, I hope you've caught that eggie! Praying very hard for you hun :pray:
Don't worry too much about other people's comments about it being too soon to TTC. Just weeks after Joshua was born, I longed so much to be pg again, I wanted to TTC straight away. I didn't tell anyone cos I thought they would be judgemental. I actually don't think it would have mattered anyway, as everyone was so supportive at first, and then it was like he never existed. I think if I got pg soon after I lost Josh, no one would care. I really had no choice but have my op. and then recover for 6 months before TTC, so I had to wait whether I liked it or not! I'm really glad you have a great supportive family, mine is OK but I felt really disappointed with my mum....anyway, that's another story!

Samcougar, I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you as well hun :pray: I really hope it happens for you soon hun. Don't ever give up your dream and keep going strong hun!

Megan, I hope you're keeping sane, how crazy is this TTC and then when you have a good sniff at a BFP everything in the belly turns into a great big knott?????

AFM, I tested today (again) and I know I wasn't supposed to, but my line is definitely stronger and today it actually came up b/f the control line! I am excited but scared at the same time as I won't even relax if I get my BFP, I will relax when the bub comes. I think having had a late loss, it makes us girls one big ball of nerves :o.

Big hello and hugs to everyone else, off to din din now :grouphug:

Love B xxx

:loveshower::loveshower::loveshower: Yay little Beata Baby!! I think your BT is looking good! Woot woot!

I'm hearing you on the ball of nerves. It's funny really because mine didn't hit til I got passed 12 weeks, and usually woman are stressing about misscarrying before then :rolleyes: I have an US on friday which is in Perth - 2 hours 1/2 away from where I live. And as much as I love seeing bubs I hate the lead up to scans! And it's not going to be much fun driving with a full bladder while I try to fight back my paranoia. Humph.
But, back to you! XD It's look fantastic, chicky. Can't wait to hear all about your BT :hug:

Aries, ignore the comments people are giving you about TTC. Unless they have been what you have been through they have no idea. And you don't need your opinion unless it's them offering you their support (and possibly constructive advice, but i hate it when people do that too sometimes) XD

Berry, hope your bubba is being all sticky in there!

Chez, I hope your body starts cooporating with you soon. ON the plus side the EWCM is a good sign

:heartbeat:

Awww Teagz, thanks hunni! I hope I can celebrate a bit more when my BT is done. It does not ease my mind though achieving a BFP, as I know I will fret with every scan and every twinge in the belly, right up until I am holding that beautiful bub in my arms!
I've had some more 'AF' type symptoms today and I'm terrified it will arrive tomorrow. It's due tomorrow, so stay away AF!!!!!!!!!

Good luck with your scan hun, let me know how it all goes. I'll be lurking in your thread anyway, hehehe.

Love moi

Hi Beata, so exciting that 'the line' appeared again today (anxiously waiting to celebrate) I am sure it will be even stronger tomorrow. I can understand being anxious even when you get the BFP, the whole thing is very nerve wracking, but you owe it to yourself to be elated as its been such a long time coming! I had AF type pains for about a week after she was due (if you remember, I was convinced AF was coming) and I still get tweaks etc everyday, so its all very normal - stresses us out, but normal :D Can't wait to hear about your news tomorrow and the official BT :dance:

Hey Teagz, all is sticky so far thank goodness, glad to hear your NT scan went well, I can't wait to get past that stage & pray all will be well this time. I hope your scan on Friday is good, I'm sure everything will be fine.

Cheryl, how are you chicky, I hope you are doing ok, you really deserve this BFP, hope it comes soon honey :hug: Hang in there!

Samcougar, I really hope you get your surprise and don't have to use the OPK's, but I have heard some good things about them so hopefully they will help if need be next time.

Aries, I agree with the girls in that people who have not walked in your shoes really can't comment. To be honest before I lost Jasmine, I may have thought a similar thing, but the urge to try for another baby straight away was quite strong for both of us. From all of the stories I have read on BB, I would say the vast majority of couples that lose a baby want to start ttc quite early on. So please don't be worried, go with how you both feel. I really pray you caught that egg hun :pray:

AFM, time seems to be going very slowly all of a sudden, can't wait to get to 12-weeks. I have been feeling pretty lousy most days to be honest and feel like a big fat balloon, but have no right to complain really.

Praying for that downpour in BFP's this month :pray: :grouphug:

Hi everyone

Thanks for thinking of me and sending me your positive thoughts for yesterday. I did remember to test - it was a BFN which wasn't really very surprising. And then I had such a @#$% day I was convinced I had pms and AF was on her way. To top it off I didn't get away from work until 6pm so I had no energy for BB last night - sorry. Today, everything is fine, still no AF and pms symptoms have gone :rolleyes: I have just had some more AP today to try to move things along a little. I really want AF before we go overseas in 2 and a half weeks time so that I don't have to worry about having pads/tampons with me wherever I am when travelling.

Anyway, a few quick persies as DH is cooking dinner and I'm starving :D

Beata, so glad to hear that the line was stronger yesterday. How did your FS appointment go today? Hope it was all good news.

Teagz - thanks for dropping in on us. I don't envy you your drive with a full bladder! Hope the scan all goes well.

Samcougar and Aries, hope your BFP comes this cycle. And thanks for your fingers and toes crossing. It was much appreciated. Maybe next cycle, whenever that is!

Megan, hope you're doing ok and not stressing too much. I have a good feeling about things working out just fine for you this time around. :hug:

Anyway, gotta go. Take care all.

Hi my lovelies,

I have a BFP!!!! Yey! I went to see my FS today and since I've already done the pee stick test (several times :rolleyes:) he suggested doing the BT in his office so I did and he just rang me an hour ago and told me the good news! My levels are 280 which is in the normal range.

Thank you again for all your prayers and good wishes, you girls rock!!!!!

Sending you lovely ladies lots of positive sticky vibes, I pray so hard they rub off on you soon :pray:

Love & huge hugs to all

It's the only way chick.
Each day that passes is a day closer that we get to hold our babies in our arms, but each day still needs to be cherished accordingly :heartbeat:

Beata WOO HOO :dance::dance: a BIG BIG Congratulations! Such fantastic news, you and DH must be over the moon, I am so wrapped for you hun! :happyforyou: Take good care of yourself.

Hi everyone, sorry I've been missing in action. I've been really down and just not up to doing much. But I have been reading everyone's messages and especially been checking Beata's updates every day!!

Congratulations Beata!!

That's just the best news.

Berry, complain away when you need to! There are lots of things about being pregnant that are a pain in the bum. We long for it, we want it, but it's still hard. I think it will be hard in a way if I ever get pregnant again and/or have another living baby, because I will feel that I should be so grateful I should never complain, but as much as I want both there are aspects of pregnancy and having a new baby that are hard.

Aries, I worry a bit about what people think about us ttc too. But most people I know already thought I should be over it pretty early on anyway, so I've tried to worry about what's best for me and DH instead!

Everyone still waiting, hope there is more good news here very very soon!!

xx Bec.

Congratulations Beata! :happyforyou::happyforyou::happyforyou:
What fantastic news to read. Heres to a H & H 8 or so months!

Hi Bec - great to see your doing ok, yeah I have pretty much done the same thing as you have said, at the moment its DH & myself so thats who I am worrying about.

Chez - I am sorry for your BFN, I am still hoping for you next cycle definately!

Samcougar - Have you thought about testing soon? We are the same dpo approx and while I am not expecting a BFP this soon I am still in high hopes! Fingers are crossed for you!

Hi Berry & Teagz - I hope you are feeling well and thank you for your support over the "other peoples issue" which is now what I am calling it! DH & I are ready for the long haul again - and if it takes that long then we better get started!!!!

AFM - 10 dpo today and just waiting - bit scared to test so I will wait it out.

Hugs to all xox

CONGRATULATIONS BEATA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thrilled for you chicky :dance:

Beata xxx

OMG I can't believe it i missed one night on BB and i missed all the excitment!! :D
YAY!!! Beata I'm so stoked for you hun, Congratulations!!!! :happyforyou:
and I'm sure we really don't mind you staying for us, it would be very nice.

more persies later, my love to all!

Beata

:dance: :leap::happyforyou::hooray::cheer::bluecheer:
Congratulations!

That is the best news I have heard all week! Fantastic. So excited for you. And you and Megan will be very close together I am guessing! How nice to be able to share your journey together.

I really hope that this is a sign of good things to come in this thread and lots more BFPs for all us very soon!

xoxo

Hi lovely ladies

There aren't many of us non-pg ones left in here now! :D But it's nice that Teagz, Megan and Beata will be around to give us moral support and show us that good things are possible after the tragedies we have had in our lives. Thanks girls :grouphug:

Aries - sorry, I forgot to post a reply to you about what other people think about you and DH TTC again. I don't think it is anyone's business. It is up to you and DH to decide what is the right thing to do in your heart. People have no right to judge your personal decisions. We have avoided the topic by not telling people that we are trying again, mostly to try to reduce the pressure on us. It took us such a long time to conceive Ryan and we didn't tell people then either. Nothing has changed really in that respect.

Bec - sorry to hear you are feeling down. Hopefully you will find some happiness in your life very soon :hug:

Jo - not sure where you're at at the moment, but hope you're doing ok

AFM, not much change. More EWCM this morning so I did an O test (bought the digital kind at lunchtime) and it was negative, so maybe the CM is a sign that AF is on her way. I am craving chocolate, and that's a sign for me, so hopefully she'll visit very soon!

Gotta go and cook dinner. Take care all.

Hi ladies,

Samcougar, thanks hun! Hopefully this thread with be empty soon as we'll all be UTD! I'm praying very hard :pray:

Cheryl, it's sure a good sign in here with the BFPs, I always thought July was going to be a good month for us all. If not for all, bring on August I say! I've been on belly since Dec 2008 and I have found so much support here, especially this thread, I am ever so grateful. Although there is not many of us here now, I know there will be more success stories out of this thread soon and I can hardly wait for all the BFPs.

Big hugs to all my beautiful girls :grouphug:, I'll be back soon with some more persies.

Love always
B xxx
