Gi - how are you going? Still hanging on here it seems, 39 big ones ( weeks) ... I live in a constant state of anticipation.... it's weird being normal now... if something happens it's not all an emergency, unlike before, and things could even have a happy ending. From memory... you didn't think that this month was a good one? Let me know - I think of you often.
Hello ladies - just popped in to see if there was any news with Dory but I see that you haven't quite popped yet!!
Had my surgery last Tues and everything seemed to go well. I had adhesions in the middle of my uterus but a cavity above and below (a little like an hourglass). The before and after xrays my surgeon showed me were amazing - I now have a lovely single cavity. Unfortunately the opening to my right tube is blocked. He kind of mentioned that this might correct itself?? Will have to pursue this with him at my follow up but didn't seemed overly concerned and said as long as I have one functioning that is OK! So now on hormone therapy to improve endometrium - which hasn't been too bad so far - I haven't turned into a screaming lunatic anyway. He said my endo looked OK especially at the top where he would hope implantation would occur. I have been feeling pretty positive as my surgeon seemed pretty positive. But I don't want to get my hopes up too much as there is a real possibility that the adhesions may reform and more surgery. There was just a moment before they put me under when I just thought 'I hate this - enough!'. That is the fourth time in 7 months. But I just have to hope that with a bit of luck that was the last one. Just a lot of waiting at the moment which is much worse than any TWW I've had in the past!!! Anyway, thinking of all you girls. Hope to see some BFP's next time I pop in!
Babydust to all.
I heard from a friend that she had lost all of her PMs on BB but didn't realise it was affecting the forums as well.
So no idea where everyone is at... must be my bad memory! But I will try some personals anyway.
Dory - wow 39 weeks! Amazing! Have you got everything ready for your new bub? I am quietly confident that everything will go perfectly. Can't wait to read your BA.
SuzieQ - that's great news about your surgery. I haven't heard anything about a blocked tube fixing itself so can't help you there. You poor thing - 4 surgeries in 7 months - yikes! You must be really sick of the inside of hospitals. I wish you lots of good things with your lovely uterus!
Gigi - sorry I can't remember if this cycle was looking good or not. I hope you are doing well and staying calm and positive. It will happen for you one day hun, I just hope that it is soon! Take care.
Hi to everyone else - hope you are all well.
AFM, I am with my mum ATM. She is in hospital recovering and having heaps of tests after a series of mini strokes on Sunday evening. Luckily I was with her and noticed the signs and got her to hospital straight away. So this week has kind of turned pear shaped for me, but thank goodness all of my testing for this cycle was finished early otherwise I would be very stressed. Nothing much else going on, just waiting now for this period and then onto BCP to align my cycle with the donor's.
Chez - OMG hope your Mum is ok. That must have been horrific. Have they gotten to the bottom of it yet? Hope she recovers quick and they can find what is causing all those ministrokes.
Sorry for lack of personals. I've been missing in action for awhile now. To be honest, it was lovely having a month off TTC, not worrying or thinking about every niggle! We are ttc this month and ov'd last weekend so now into the TWW somewhere around CD21. I've had some cramping like last time and freaked out last night that I'm going to miscarry again. Trying to stay positive though and will see how we get on. The ov kits I used this time worked like a charm!
Hope you are all well and look forward to hearing of some BFP's soon! Have a great weekend!
Chez - I am so glad you were with your Mum and could get her to the hossy - it's scary for everyone. Being in Hossy for unexpected events brings its own trauma as does getting adjusted to the hossy environment. I spent a lot of time in ICU with my bro last year and it is very confronting, but after a while that alien environment becomes almost a natural one. Have to say I don't miss it now I don't have to go there. Hope you and your Mum are going ok and that you're not too stressed about TTC testing.
Susie - glad to hear some optimism in your post....and that your surgery went well and you are recovering. The optimism of your surgeon must be nice to have.
Gi - thinking of you.
Powelly - good luck with this cycle - it's good to have a break sometimes.
AFM - close but so far away. I have been having a really tough time the past couple of days - really weepy, not coping with little things, not wanting to go out at all... but have forced myself to go out once or twice on short adventures and today managed to do some thinking and have a bit more of a grip on why I was feeling the way I was. It was pretty complex and also linked with my grief. Anyway, since having a mini epiphany about it all, I feel a bit better and less glum. Which is a relief as I am not normally a really weepy person. Poor DH has been valiantly trying to support me but it's hard for him to do that properly when I didn't know what was going on myself. Take care my lovelies and I hope to share some good news with you soon.
Oh Dory, any "normal" pregnant woman would feel that way this close the the big day, weepy, excited, nervous, scared, tired, to name but a few emotions that aren't helped by the last massive surges of pregnancy hormones. But for us women, we have the added burden of grief and panic. All I can say is try to think positive.
Visualise your bub entering the world, into your arms, that first time you gaze into their eyes, smell their skin, hear their meowing cries. Whilst doing this, take slow deep breaths, in two three... out two three.... I'm sure you'll be amazing and I wish you all the best in the next few days. Big hugs
Powelly - you're right and that visual image and those thoughts are just so beautiful...thankyou... and the good thing is, I already know those feelings, and the love I had for my babies at their birth... imagine how amazing it will be this time around? As you can see I am in a much better place... thank goodness - I didn't much like that other one. But it is good to know it's "normal", whatever that is.
