TTC after Recurrent Miscarriage/Stillbirth or Loss after 1st trimester ~ December 07

[Sonni]

Hi ladies,

How hard is this ttc thing!!! AF is due for me on Sat and I have now officially done 1,127,423 HPT with a BFN every time :P I hope you are all ok and thank you again

Simba, I am so sorry for the loss of your little angel Lani. There are just no words... It is so hard going back to any job after the death of your baby, but to also have to deal with the stress of a new place and unfamilliar territory must be terrible. When I went back, I had not been working throughout my pregnancy and didn't want to go back to the sort of salon I had been in. (I'm a hairdresser, colour tech) When I did go back to work it was also at a new job and I realy struggled. I hope you find happiness in your new work place and I realy hope you can share some happy news with everyone soon

shout out to everyone!
we need a few...


It sounds like we have all had some ups and downs lately. I am officially due now for AF and did a test yesterday but nothing. So will wait until at least mid next week to check again and in the meantime it may show up anyway. I have'nt had the AF symptoms so far so hopefully it is'nt my cycle still trying to even itself out. But since i don't show any preg symptoms either when i am, i can't even say anything for that! So i'll keep you posted...and to you guys that have them coming up in the next few days, I HOPE THEY DON"T COME! Don't have lots of time so no personals (hijacking parents computer again, only month till we move and i get my computer back!) so please take care and hope you all are ok! xxxx

Today a found a place with a good reputation that does drop-in day care so if I need to have a procedure done with little notice, I don't have to scramble around for somebody to watch my daughter. It's one less thing to worry about.

Simba and Katiegirl and jo76: sorry for the not-pregnant news. sending cyberhugs.

Sonni: it's not Saturday yet!!

Hi Everyone. Simba and Jo sorry that AF is arriving - but I always try to think that at least it means our cycles are getting back to some sort of normalcy. Positive thinking!!! Hug to you both.

Jo - I am sure you are looking forward to finally getting in to your own place again. I think you have been amazing to be going through your grief and being at a friend's house. I am sure others tell you this but you come across as very strong.

In fact all the women in this thread seem to be strong, which is particularly hard given all our stories.

We went and saw our new ob today - and he is wonderful!!! Mel recommended him (as have some others since) and all she said is true. He was very compassionate and understand, as well as being incredibly competent and thorough. He is sending me off for about 1000 more tests, but I am happy to do whatever it takes. He has asked that we put of TTC for the 4 weeks until we see him again and get all the tests results. My answer was a cheeky - I will think about it. DH then piped up and said 'No we will wait'. So I was ganged up on, so if AF arrives in the next 2 days, then I am out of the TTC gang for at least 4 weeks. Not happy about it but I also see the reasoning behind it. Also, as my family has a history of coeliac and I have always had question marks over whether I am coeliac or simply wheat intolerant, he is doing a test for that. If it comes back positive, he said he would want me to wait another 4 months before TTCing again to be on the safe side. Also he said if one test for CMV came back positive, then he would want me to wait 12 months! So fingers crossed they all come back negative and I will only have to wait 4 weeks. So i really do feel i am in safe hands and that he will be understanding of my stress levels. He said that once preg he will see me every week after the 12 week scan until I get sick of coming in! I love that!!!

Barbara - how is AF? I hope you are okay and getting ready for another month - fingers crossed for you.

TM - how are you? You have had a rough ride lately, so i hope some good news is coming your way. Great news about the day care centre you found.

It would be lovely to get some BFPs in here. I think is about time.

Take care and
