    Katiegirl - thanks for popping in, it's always good to hear success stories, because of the hope they offer. So glad to hear that your Anna is 17 months and UTD again! My feverent hope is that all of the wonderful mothers in here at the mo, will be popping back in the future to offer support, when theirs is the story of hope. Bless Nathaniel and your family.

    Chez - good to hear from you. It's nice to be kept busy and distracted sometimes huh? But as nice as it is to have visitors its also nice to get the house back, but then I miss the visitors. So many contradictions. I hope your 2WW goes quickly... and that you did catch that eggie, stress and all. Isn't said that its when you least expect it?

    I hope you are feeling a bit better, physically and emotionally. I think it was good for you to take the day off work. By the sounds of it, you really needed the extra sleep and rest. We can all understand the fear... I hope it doesn't get to you too much, but how can it not? After a while even believing gets a bit tired, but it bounces back, otherwise this thread wouldn't exist. Sending you strength.

    Cmeggles - oh sweetie - I wish I was there with you ( well one second thoughts given the BDing...maybe not) Hope your trip is just so relaxing and let you and DH connect and chill. I think there is something so peaceful yet energising about the beach. The beach is one of my special places.

    Crumpet - I know it's hard to feel "happy" about your birthday, but sweetie, honestly, it's ok to feel a little less sad on your birthday and maybe even smile and you don't have to feel guilty for doing so either. ? You are worthy of love and you are deserving of peace.

    It's hard to go to those events and functions where we would have been pregnant, they are so much tougher than people on the outside realise. I remember the first game of sport I played after Ameila, I was so excited to be playing again because I just love it so much, but so so devastated that I was in a position to play. I sucked it up before the game, during warm up and during the game, but afterwards when the game ends and we shake hands of the opposition I was just sobbing as I hugged most people. I know and am friends with most of that opposition team, so they were used to the hugs, but not the sobbing. Then I just stood in the middle of the pitch with my arms outstretched and head raised to the heavens, tears coarsing down my cheeks. It was actually a really important release for me, and I didn't expect it to be that intense.

    I hope you got to wear soomething special to the wedding to help you feel confident.

    Wednesday is not far away. Thinking of you.....giving you strength.

    CharliB, Teni - no "answers" is harder than answers. Charlie - you seem a little more at peace with that, and I hope for you that is what gives you some comfort and helps you heal.

    Teni - it's ok to be angry. It is unfair. Why can such a cruel thing happen when there was nothing wrong? I know babe. I know those feeling and I know those thoughts. I am glad you wre able to get them out and express them. I only hope that in time you can find some peace with the "information" you do have. It doesn't take away that Ianto is your darling and much loved angel son and that you are his beloved mother, nothing can ever take that away.

    Angelic - it must still be crazy for you. Thinking of you

    Aries, Blessed, TUP - thinking of you.

    To anyone I have missed but not named, even those who haven't posted for a while. Sending you my love and lots of strength.

    AFM - All good here, ups and downs and periods of absolute despair and fear, but I think that's just part of the journey. I am so glad to have 3 cuddly and empathetic fur babies. Today, they are truly my joy and blessing. I wonder if they even know it?

    Hey everyone!

    Sorry its been a while since my last post - been really busy with work and study.

    I wont try to catch up on everything, but want to send everyone of you my thoughts.

    I had a call from my FS on Friday to say that the blood test I had on Wednesday had come back that I was about to ovulate!!! As I posted a while ago - the last round of clomid didnt work as I had no eggs mature BUT they have obviously decided to grow about 1 week late! Gosh my body is weird sometimes......

    I also booked myself in for my tattoo So very out of character for me - Mum is having one done too. I am getting Beloved Son in japanese kanji writing really small on my wrist and Mum is getting Beloved Grandchild on her ankle. We have been talking about it for months but have been too chicken!! Of course if I fall this month - I will be glad to cancel

    Its Alexander's first birthday on the 5th of May - we are going to the crematorium to release one balloon and I have written a piece for the paper. Do you think its alright to write someone a bday card even thought they are not around in person anymore? I feel like I want to continue adding to Alex's photo album and memory box for little occasions but am getting mixed reactions.

    Bye for now ladies - baby wishes to you all xxx

    Crumpet
    'All stations' Love it! You made me chuckle- sounds good to me. Bummer about the job hun. It is amazing isn't how you rnew world can crumble at the drop of a hat. Don't be hard on yourself though sweet and expect you to be all fine by now. I think the counsellor sounds like a good idea but it is still so early to expect too much. I met a lady today who lost her son 8 years ago and she still has her new normal IYKWIM. It was of huge comfort for me to hear that from her. She was lovely and so very normal and made me feel ok for where I am at...took a lot of pressure off me. Gus would be mega proud of you hun. Happy Birthday for next week. I will say it now as I think I will be MIA for a bit of 'me' time. Have a wonderful day and although you are not pregas, you are still a mummy, don;t ever forget that. I knwo not how you would have dreamed, but true all the same.
    lol thanks hun, glad to be able to put a smile on ur dial!!!

    it just feels like its the right time to see someone and thats how i knew i needed to do it....

    Thanks sweetie.
    DD's date is 21st of April..Wednesday. Not that one day in particular is more special. But that was the day she was born.
    Thank you Dory for your lovely thoughts, words and love. xoxoox
    will be thiking of u wednesday.......
    Hi everyone. I just thought I would pop in as this is a section of the forum that got me through very dark times after we lost our first baby, a boy Nathaniel at 20 weeks. I have been reading some of your stories and wanted to send you all hugs and hope for the future. I know that it is heartbreaking and life shattering to have to farewell your babies, but I hope you find some strength in here with each other to take each day as it comes. I am now the happy mum to an earth baby Anna who is 17 months and am 35 weeks pregnant with No.3. I still miss Nathaniel and have my sad times but I know that he is with me and one day I will get to hold him. There is hope and your angels will help you find it. You are all very specials mothers
    wow thanks for popping it, its fab to hear sucess stories!!

    Aries - It is totally ok to write a birthday card for an angel, whether its your darling Alexander or someone else. I will be thinking of you on the 5th. When is your tattoo booked for? OMG - congrats on the BIG O - lots of BDings no doubt in your house.

    I remember once I went for a pap smear but also had a scan with the ob, and low and behold there was a follicle ( who became Amelia). I can't remember if we had been BDing before then but we did for a while after that, and it worked! It's kind of exciting to have known and seen the very start of the process. Ao I can get a snese of our excitement, and knowing the clomid worked. I am just hoping for a BFP for you.

    crumpet - I thought I would never get a tattoo and am pretty nervous!! A 'G' sounds like a great idea, small but always there. I too am terrified it will hurt but they said mine would only take 10 mins and its 2 small symbols so maybe a 'G' would be really quick!!

    dory - Thanks very much for your kind words - if ever I was too fall now would be the time because then I couldnt possibly have it done then could I?? I am booked for next Saturday eeekk!!
    I have purchased a first bday card for our baby - really I suppose its for us to write down our thoughts and wishes for him. Not for anyone else to (unless they want to) but helpful to us. I thought I could add to his album each year. My auntie still makes a bday cake for her angel ( S/B at 41 weeks) and releases balloons with her children each bday. He would be 7 this year. Hope all is travelling along nicely for you atm.

    I am having a progesterone test on Wed morning just to double check that I did in fact ovulate then I can safely say I am in the 2 week wait. Will test on Sat morning just to be sure though - dont want to take any chances!

    Hugs to all xxx

    Hi everyone!

    TeniBear - I'm so sorry that you are feeling so frustrated, but I completely understand and I'm sure it completely normal and completely ok to feel the way you do. I hope the latest bloodtest can shed some light on things. (hmmm I think I could have said 'completely' a few more times in that sentence!!)

    Chez - I hope you are recovered and feeling better. Glad the fur babies are taking such good care of you

    cmeglles - I hope this message finds you completely relaxed and having a fabulous trip. sending you truck loads of

    hi crumpet - when exactly is your birthday this week?? hopefully you are bing well and truly spoilt for the whole week! are you into the 2ww yet?, I've los ttrack a bit. good luck with your appt anyways.

    Gigi - you may not be reading cause I know you are having a break and some family time - but if you are around, you are in my thoughts. And will be even more so on Wednesday.

    Dory - another one who is being looked after by fur babies! And I am convinced that they do know when we are struggling and they know how much we love them! Just my thoughts. Thanks for your words about our appt - I think I had already prepared myself for not getting many answers. Some things just cannot be explained away. I have been trying to think of all the other positive things that our little boy bought to my life, and focusing on those instead.

    Aries - YAY! for ovulation - I really hope that you have to cancel that tattoo appointment!! But I'm sure it will be awesome if you do get it done.

    AFM - this 2ww is near killing me, so different from last time I TTC, many mixed emotions. oh well, half way there!!

    Big hugs to everyone else, take care
    xx
