Just a quick one. I'm heading away for a few days. Will be glad to take my mind off the last days of the tww! AF due Mondayish and I'm moody, bloated, and cramping so not holding out much hope that I'll get that + result this month :-( (Had some sort of weird spotting though on Tuesday, like small specs of blood...... weird)...
So glad to have heard of some BFP's this month! Well done!!!!! Will check in when I get back next week.
Thank you to everyone for your support, but it appears that I had a false alarm. B/t and all subsequent HPTs came back negative. AF is not due until next Wed though (I think) and my bbs are really sore, so we may not be out of the running yet. If I can just keep myself from squinting at that evap line.....
Sorry for the quickie. Sticky vibes to all of you pg lovelies and baby dust to the rest of you (got my heart set on multiples for Chez)!!
TTC after Late Loss, Recurrent Miscarriage or Stillbirth #2 2010
Just popping in to say that I'm definitely leaving you lovely ladies My bloods came back with great numbers so there's no doubt any more Hopefully I'll see you all soon in the preg threads!
Ps - if you want to stay in touch more, you can add me on FB (Tenielle Reid) or read my blogs Lots of love to all of you xox
Tenibear - All the best in your pregnancy and look forward to hearing how you are going. Make sure you pop back in.
Hope - thanks for that! I had a great time away, although it was hampered by my PMT! Still no AF but I'm sure it's any minute now.
ChrisW - any updates? Bet that was like being on a little emotional rollercoaster.
As for me, had a great time away. My DS tired me out massively and I had awful PMT/PMS, terrible cramping, mood swings and many tears in those quiet moments alone. I've never had such awful PMS before in my life. It seems to have gotten worse after having my DS and seems worse again since we started trying. Strange stuff. Oh well, all settled at home and back to work tomorrow. I just wish AF would hurry up already and put me out of my misery!
Big hugs to all and sorry for the lack of personals. Still catching up!
Teni - hope to see you in the preggy threads too! Good luck with everything
Powelly - sorry to hear about the PMS - it's just cr@ppy isn't it? Glad you had a good time away although it sounds like you a longer break would have been even better. But then it always is isn't it?
Hope - hope your ob appointment went well.
Chris - damn POAS tests and those evap lines. Sorry to hear that isn't good news for you hun Hope your cycle sorts itself out soon.
Hi to Gigi, Dory, cmeglles, crumpet and everyone else.
Well, there is no chance for a BFP for me this cycle. I had an ultrasound this afternoon that my GP arranged for me - another story - after getting my b/t results from my FS. I have a 4cm cyst on my left ovary and one tiny follicle and an old follicle on the right. So despite the clomid and pregnyl I haven't ovulated. So I am stopping the pregnyl even though I haven't spoken to my FS. My TCM recommended that I do that and I agree - I think we are just 'feeding' the cyst, which is big enough now thank you very much!
So, back to the drawing board. We're off to see the IVF clinic next week and pay lots of $$ for an IVF cycle about which I am not feeling positive or confident in any way. I just can't help but wonder if my body is able to produce any good eggs at all. Anyway, I am trying to keep my chin up, but it is very hard some days.
Chez - thanks for the hello!. Sorry to hear about your cycst and old follicle. It is tough... and it's ok to feel sorry for yourself. Big hugs my friend. You always have my love and supprt.
Hi to everyone else, I have been MIA, missing my poor cat ( in hospital following radioactive iodine treatment), and feeling sorry for myself as I have a cold. Hopefully will be on the mend soon. Take care.
Massive massive congrats to Teni and Hope!!! Wishing you both an uneventful 8 months. It is nice to see some BFP's ....lets hope some more are on their way....
ChrisW - sorry to hear about your false alarm - hope you are doing OK as it must have been a tough up and down couple of days. FX AF stayed away??
Dory - your poor furbaby...when does he/she come home? Will need lots of TLC as do you! Hope you have a speedy recovery from your cold.
Powelly - glad you had a nice time away though your PMS sounds horrible!
Chez - aw sweetie not sure what to say. Just sux. Big hugs.
AFM - no BFP. Just bitterly disappointed and don't think I have actually come out of my funk yet. On CD 4 now and feeling low. Shouldn't really have expected success on first month but you can't help but hope can you. Having weird AF as well....back to weekly accupunture for me to see if it will help.
Had a lovely time away (except for getting AF on last day!). FIL was also starting to get on nerves - trying to hold my tongue was getting hard! Luckily IL's have headed to Paris for a couple of days . They have been great with DS though so I should just suck it up!
Well there's been a reason for my crazy mood swings of late. I got a BFP this afternoon. My AF was due on Monday and never arrived and I've been cramping all week and in tears and my boobs were so sore but after POAS every day with negatives, I was sure I wasn't pregnant. I decided to try and relax last night on the advice of a friend and had two glasses of wine. With no periods again today I decided to buy a First Response and up came the BFP!
Immediate reaction: FREAKED OUT! (Especially because I had a couple of wines last night :-(
I'm extremely happy but also extremely nervous about getting to my 20 weeks and hoping that the wine I had didn't do any damage. Can't believe it!!!
OMG that is such good news!! We're having so many BFPs, FX the trend keeps on!
Teni, Hope, and Powelly - I hope you all have a very uneventful pg. Pop in occaisionally and let us know how it's going. We're going to miss you.
Chez - I'm so sorry that the clomid didn't work. I know it's hard to keep your hopes up, but IVF may do the trick.
SusieQ - Glad you had a good time (even if FIL was getting on your last nerve). Sorry that AF showed up. Try to keep your spirits up.
AFM - I want to thank everyone for their support, but AF showed up on Tuesday. Had a u/s the same day and showed several follicles, so I think I didn't O for whatever reason (sigh). At least the BDing was fun! I saw the RI on Wed and they gave me a thorough going over. It will be three weeks before all of the test results come back, though so I'm on pins and needles until then. One thing we did find out is that my uterine and ovarian blood flow is pretty poor (measured via u/s - very cool to watch). Unfortunately my left ovary is pretty much shut down (not surprising since it didn't respond to the IVF in 2008). I think they will put me on Lovenox to increase blood flow. Does anyone know of anything else that might help?
Congratulations to Powelly, Teni and Hope. Hope for us all. May your journeys in pregnancyville be happy and healthy. Love and congrats to you all. xoxoxo Hope I think it was much easier as horney teenagers!! dtd at our parents house etc...
Chez- Thanks for thinking of our DD hun. I am so sorry it has been a bugger of a month for you guys. To be given a glimmer of hope was a gift and then to catch up on your recent events just broke my heart. I hope you got some lovely rest for your time off and I am thinking of you sweet. xoxo Oh and well done on those results you clever cookie.
Chris- Sorry hun that this month was a no go. I hope you are getting some tlc right now. I am thinking of you too. xoxo
Dory- Thanks sweety, hope you are doing ok. I hope your little cat is doing ok too. It is horrible when they are sick. xoxo
Susie- Bummer that Af has turned up. Sorry it is another month down for you. We girls need to stick together in here i think. I am sure we are all just around the corner from a BFP.
AFM- I am back from a wonderful week away. We have nicknamed it our bogan holiday as I think we ate badly, behaved badly and had an all good time with very dear friends...remembering the good old days.
Today is the first opportunity since we got back that i can spend a moment to catch up with my girls.
It was awesome being able to just slot into someone elses family life for a week. It was just what we both needed. Stayed up late, woke up late, playing cricket in the park, boardgames...ate chocolate, drank too much wine. Great fun!
On the TTC front, we didn't ovulate this month...i don;t think anyway. CD28 today and CD1 also as Af has started. She is a little angry at me this month...no doubt for the way i have treated my body this last week but hey...all in moderation. We never let loose to that extent. Not sure i want to again either but time will tell. We gave it a good shot but not many signs for ovualtion at all. No CM, no ov pain, no desire or libido. Temps all over the place and Just a posiitve ov test. Not enough to go on.
I didn't expect to be pregnant this month. DH was so tired before we left loving turned into an argument and then a long and wondeful talk all the way down there. He got to find himself again and got to see how lost he allowed himself to become. Work had swallowed him whole and there was no balance. It is all very well that I am here to take care of all that is needed on the home front. But there is some satisfaction in doing things at home. Anyway...we have sorted that out and have got a whole lot more balance.
Our beautiful angel DD would have turned 1 this last week and if we were to forget for just a moment, we would be reminded with the birthday party of a friends' little girl born when DD should have been. We were not invited but i am comfortable with that. We would never have gone. We are not all that close and because of that i woul dmuch rather things be real and upfront. Our dear friends go to the trouble of thinking further for us and that is all we need.
We spent the week with friends that have lost 4 babys so they were aware and thoughtful. It is weird though, in saying that, we probably talked about it a little less as there was just an inbuilt understanding there. They understand your pain, they have their own, your thoughts are often intertwined. It was lovely.
Anyway...that was a nice chat...hope you are all well.
As usual this time of the month brings a bit of glum and gloom for me and within the next few days I feel renewed. It is funny but right now...I am over it all. Don't want to fight for it anymore. I am done, dusted and moving on. Hmmm how it all changes is beyond me...and maybe oneday it won't. For this moment i feel like throwing in the towel from sheer frustration and disappointment...and knowing I am in for an uncomfortable couple of days. xoxo
Don't know where to start, so I will start by introducing myself. My name is Tess and we are our 4th month of TTC after loosing our son Matthew (born sleeping during labour at 39w2d) I was trying to locate somewhere on the internet where there were women of similiar circumstances and that I also didnt feel like a huge thread killer, being a newbie.
I have 11 days before I AF is due... and once again I am highly anxious as a few things have happened this month that has made me very scared and excited all at once about being pg.
Hope to get to know you all and am glad to have found a group of lovely caring women.
Hi Tess, welcome and so very sorry you find yourself needing to be here. You will find a wealth of love and support not to mention the all elusive...understanding and knowledge that only experiencing this loss can give you from these lovely ladies in here. We have formed ourselves a bit of a group here...although three have fallen pregnant in the last couple of weeks...numbers are dwindling. Hope the fortune rubs off on you too.
I am so sorry that your baby Matthew grew wings too soon in life hun.
My fingers are crossed that you find yourself staying a short time. I hope your feelings this month are on the mark and you find yourself excited and nervous for all the right reasons. 5mths is not very long ago, take care and be gentle.
Good luck Tess xoxoxo
Welcome Tess. So sorry to hear of the tragic loss of your son Matthew. As Gigi said, you will meet some very special women in here who will give you unconditional support in your TTC journey. I was only in here two months and I got a BFP yesterday which I'm still getting my head around. Unfortunately for us ladies, the BFP brings both excitement and happiness and hope, but it also brings anxiety, stress, worry and fear. May your 11 days go quickly, just try and keep yourself busy and try not to read too much into things. I was SURE I wasn't pregnant this month and had 5 BFN's before my BFP yesterday afternoon. May your TTC journey be a short one and know that you have us (I'll be hanging about for awhile!!!).
As for the rest of you awesome ladies, thanks for my congrats and thanks so much for having me! You are all such beautiful ladies and I'm going to miss chatting to you, although if you don't mind, I'll still say hi! As I said above, I'm still moving from happy to freaked out every 5 minutes and hope that calms down! Until I have this bubba in my arms, I'm not exactly celebrating just yet...
Baby dust to all and thanks for being such a supportive group
CONGRATULATIONS !!!! Powelly - so very happy for you. Hope you have a heathly and uneventful 8 months as well. Wow - we really are dwindling in numbers but isn't that great!
Tess - nice to meet you and I am sorry you have to be here at all. I hope your stay in here is really short and I get to know you better in a pregnancy thread!
Gigi - glad to hear that you had a lovely time away. It must have been nice to be with your DH and close friends on your DD's first birthday anniversary. On those difficult days the best we can do is to surround ourselves with people who love and support us. Sorry AF showed up - FX for this month for all of us.
ChrisW - was reading your post about blood flow and funnily enough this has been on mind the past couple of days. Had a very light period which was all brown blood - very weird for me but suspect that since it was such a short cycle (22 days) it has something to do with insufficient uterine lining so need more blood flowing to that area. Have read that accupunture is good and I am going once a week this cycle so will let you know how it goes. One of the funny ones was that an orgasm a day helps as blood flows into that area LOL I love that one. Mentioned it to DH who said he was happy to help out hehe. The other one people mentioned a bit about was baby aspirin. Don't want to self medicate though so am going to leave that one alone for now. Hope your RI can give you some answers.
AFM - AF has gone, funk has lifted and now feel ready to face this cycle!
Hello to everyone else - hope you are enjoying your weekend. Babydust to all.
