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

howdy everyone!
CeCe- doesn't sound trite at all to have wanted a pregnancy by your due date. perhaps this next cycle will be the one, though. hugs.
Georgie- keep that determination up!
Mel- thinking good thoughts for you.

got our first snow of the season this weekend, 10 inches. it is a good kick in the pants to remind us all that we haven't gotten ready yet. busy busy busy.

MEL:pray::goodluck::hug::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesg irl::bluedust::bluedust: just popped in to say that -

Thanks Georgie - only 2 sleeps to go.... feels like 50 :wall: ;)

Mel - the 2 days will go really fast! (for us that is! LOL) Your right about the kids, they didn't even comment on the weather it was just us adults.

AuntieM - I keep forgetting your in a different season to us! LOL! how are you feeling?

Georgie - how are you?

S/b - where are you hun? everything ok?

hello to anyone i've missed, hope your all well!

Jo - hope you have dropped a few good hints for a decent pressie ;)

morning ladies, haven't had a chance to read up so will try and do some personals later but just a quick update from me, joey p was nestled nicely in there heartbeating away at 158bpm, just a few days smaller than dates but not too much. it was all very emotional, have a bad cold and not likely to see out much of the day but just wanted to let you know.

Hi guys!

klee.. I am so glad for those 158 bpms for you! I can only imagine the emotions you must be wading through. I am praying for you and your little joey p. Hugs galore!

Auntie M-- I guess we'll be getting snow soon too. yay. I just made Abby's halloween costume today and I hope its cool enough for her to wear it.

Mel-- I forgot the time difference... so my Bday is your beta day.... so I just informed everyone that we are having cake at Midnight the 24th here. Just in case I can get in a wish before you get your blood drawn.

Georgie-- Thank you for your kind words. I would have been due December 1st. But would have had a scheduled c-section ( my son was an emergency section in 1995 so I have a vertical scar... no vbac's for me) on the week of Thanksgiving this year. November 21st.

In fact, the rude-evil-ever so pregnant and due the week after I was- totally inconsiderate "friend' I have just called tonight to ask if our family would join her's for thanksgivng dinner. Before I could stop my mouth from moving I said "um, I'd rather cut my boobs off with a spoon." Hope she wasn't too offended. OK I kinda hope she was. Shame on me.

Hugs to you all! I think my OPKs will be positive in two nights... so here's hoping we get blessed before I get chafed.

Love to you all!
CeCe

:dance::dance::dance: Klee - go Joey go!!!!!! Woooohooo!!! that's such wonderful news - I can understand how emotional it must have been :hug: We will give you lots of love and support as we delight in watching that ticker fly...Good news is catching.
Cece - he hee hee to the boobs and the spoon. I like the "I'd rather stab myself in the face with a fork" which I used to say under my breath to friends when thought my best cure would be to hold THEIR babies...When I suggested our due date may be a good chance for us to get away somewhere together my darling (but sometimes silly) DH agreed...and then booked a ski racing training weekend with us and six others. Just the look on my face was enough for him to tack on some private time for us at the end.
Jo - all is well here - but like us all i'm always somewhere between incredibly optomistic and bitterly disappointed - I'm about five days off bitterly disappointed. what about you..do you go to the F/s soon? have I got that right?
Mel - can't help but cover you in this:bluedust::bluedust::bluedust::bluedust::blued ust:
ignore me if this is obvious/too personal/or none of my business but do you plan to do a wee test?
Hi to everyone else - george

Hi all - just thought I would pop in and tell you all that I just got a :bfp: Just did a test at 2pm this afternoon - OMG I am shocked! Really didn't think we were this month and I was seriously considering not trying next month. I have conceived 2nd cycle for two pregnancies now on Vitex. Unheard of with me, took me 5 months with Lachlan and that was with temping and charting.

Hope this one was meant to be, cause I have been crying ever since I found out! Just am so scared of this rollercoaster ride again.

I am due 3rd July, but have a feeling it is actually a few days before this as I ovulated cd12 and normally ovulate cd16. I have a scan in 2 weeks time and going to try and get some hcg levels done tomorrow.

I had a ceasar last time as Lachlan was breach, and was hoping for a VBAC last pregnancy that ended in m/c, but I think i am a bit over all that now, so will just see what happens seeing as we live so remotely. So 70% chance of caesar and that will be the end of June 2008.

I have been terribly tired since yesterday, but had a huge day though and drinking so many milo drinks - SOOOO NOT GOOD! I def don't want to put on 26kgs this time round.

Hope everyone else is well? I miss you girls.

shereejoy - i just saw you in antoher thread before seeing it here, oh my goodness congratulations :happyforyou::happyforyou::happyforyou:, these green guys are going to get a work out this month, i can feel it in my loins again.
and by the way my doc told me that milo is good for iron, so not such a bad thing. congrats honey, heres to a h&h pg

:happyforyou::happyforyou:Yeeehah Shereejoy! This good news is def catching...shame it's not time for us all to hop into the sack!!!
Shereejoy - Pls tell me what it was that you've been taking (and can you buy it by the crate?????LOL)

:confetti: Congratulations ShereeJoy!!! Wishing you heaps and heaps of sticky vibes for this bubba - take care :hug:

howdy everyone.
Jo- feeling okay, just so glad for the 2nd trimester. woo hoo.
Klee- sorry for the cold - always such a joy in the summertime.
CeCe- what will Abby be for halloween? my nephew is a full suited cute kola (he insists on the "cute" part), which keeps him nice and warm. my niece is a rockstar, which doesn't. at all. lol re your (appropriate) response to your friend about thanksgiving. you were so right to say it, and it was funny to boot.
Sherejoy - :happyforyou: woo hoo!

Shereejoy!! WOO HOOOOOO!!!! thats just awesome! Happy and Healthy pregnancy wishes to you.

AuntieM- Abby is going to be a penguin and James is going to be a music pirate. He had spent all day hot glueing cd's to a pirate costume. and made a sign that says pirating music is stealing. LOL

Mel- sending you prayers and relaxation vibes.

Hugs to everyone!
CeCe

Yay Sheree :happyforyou::happyforyou: Oh wow, I'm so glad!!!

Klee - :dance: for Joey, glad to see he/she is settled in! lol!

Mel - Still sending lots of :bluedust::bluedust:

CeCe - "cut my boobs off with a spoon" I'll have to remember that one! hehehe!

Georgie - we are off to the f/s next week, but fingers crossed i'm already pregnant.

Hi to everyone else!

Just wanted to let you all know that I may not be around for a flittle while. AF arrived and I am not in a very good frame of mind right now and need to work out what we are going to to get through this.

Mel

:hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

I am so very sorry hun, my heart is breaking all over again for you. I am here for you when you are ready.

Lv Spring

Oh Mel, I am so sorry, if only I could reach thru the screen and give you a big hug and a kiss. Take care of yourself.

Oh Mel :hugs::hugs: I'm so sorry, sending you all my {{{HUGS}}}

Mel I am so sorry hun. :( :hug:

Sheree congrats hun. sticky vibes and al the best :)

laying low, keeping quiet
hugs all
Jude

:hug: Mel - So very sad to read your post. Thinking of you both with tonnes of love and white light ...and here if you ever need me...George

Mel :crying: I am so so sorry. I don't know what to say. Life sucks and is so cruel and unfair sometimes. I am here for you whenever you need me :hug:

Hi Everyone
Sorry I havent been around - had some hassles with my sister :wall:and a false alarm (thought I was pg but not!):cry:. I actually popped in to see how you were going Mel, I am so sorry! I know how disappointing it is and I remember like yesterday how it felt! Big hugs :hugs: to you and DH - be kind to yourselves and I too am here if you need anything!

I did write a big reply a week ago but like Georgie, went Back and lost everything :doh: - oh well, we live and learn!
While I am here:

ShereeJoy-Congratulations :dance:!
Klee - What fabulous news - everything will be fine now you'll see! I know this is what everyone says and its almost impossible but - Try to enjoy this pregnancy and if you are having trouble how about writing a diary so you can look back after everything turns out ok and remember all the details about the journey.
Georgie - can I ask which FS you are seeing? We have decided to go back to IVF next month and am trying to decide whether I stay with my current specialist or try someone new?
StarBright - I think we must be related! Not only are our journeys very similar but so are our sisters :angry:! I got really brave after I met Mel and Klee so told her I may not go the the "celebrations" after my 3 nieces are christened in Adelaide in November. She couldnt understand why I might find it upsetting so I explained that 1. Its a christening, 2. there will be lots of babies there (29 kids under 5 will be there) and 3. its the week Ethan was due! She said she would have to think about it because she didnt understand why that would be upsetting"!!! Anyway, I avoided her calls for a week and then my DH and my Mum got on my case about needing to smooth things over. This is the first time in my life I have told her how I feel and I end up being the one who has to give in?? She apparently told my Mum that I had to realise "not everythings about me" and that her other friend who had just lost a baby was coping "so much better than me". I had to call my niece for her birthday last Wednesday so my sister got on the phone and told me she was so happy we were talking because the reason she was so upset that I might not be at the lunch was that they had planned a surpise wedding and wanted me to be Matron of Honour! So it turns out I am expected to pretend I am ok and put my feelings aside so that her day isnt ruined - What The?? So much for not everything being about me - its actually all about her! Not only that but I had lap banding done last year (then got pg so didnt lose much weight) and have just started losing again. She now wants me to buy a new formal frock and high heels for the event! I will never be able to wear it again and the last time I wore heels I was 17 and at a Blue Light disco!!

Anyway enough of my whingeing - love to everyone else - especially Mel!
Naomi

I am so sorry Mel. :hugs:

:hugs:Mel- I am so so very sorry. I don't have words. :hugs:

dammit dammit dammit dammit. :(
i'm so sorry Mel. i wish i had something i could say. it just isn't fair how much you've been through. big hugs to you and dh. :hug:

CeCe- lol re the music pirate - so creative! and a penguin sounds cute as a bug.

Klee- i think i caught your cold. lol

Mel- will call u tonite...
Sheree Joy- Yay!!

I am still waiting for internet- was supposed to be running yesterday- but they sent me the wrong modem!! I am trying to be patient and not use the net at work- but after reading the news-i wish i had have been checking.. So sorry mel- big hugs- i will be back later for more personals (havent read through posts- just saw reactions) I will be back soon!!

Love Kat

mel this is such devastating news, i really don't know what to say, but i am feeling for you. take all the time you need but just know what we are here for you no matter what and when you are ready to come back, take care of yourself and dh, thinking of you guys.

Hey all,

well looks like f/s is on hold for a while, we have had some huge bills come in & with xmas coming up DH & I have decided to wait till after the new year to see him cos at the moment we just can't afford it :(

fingers crossed we can do it on our own before then anyway! (wishfull thinking)

How is everyone?

What a combination of happiness and sadness for me to discover this morning. I saw green men (YAY FOR Sheree) and then i saw hugs. Mel- i dont have any words to say coz i know nothing will help- but i am sooooo sad for you! Just remember when you are up for it- you still have some future babies ready and waiting- no more of the injections etc- just need to pop them in when you are ready- next time go for two eggs (like i know you wanted to this time) I still have faith in our plan love- and nothing is set in stone. I can wait!! (i mean that!!!!) F$ck mate- i just dont know what else to say. Big hugs to you.:hug:

I will be waiting for another 5-7 working days for the net to be connected. I was all set for it to be done on wed- but they sent the wrong modem and disc- so i have to wait for them to send another one. Teltra are sooo smart- that they arranged for a tech to come and check my phone line then sent me a modem etc for wireless no phone line required internet- (WTF???) which i asked for in the begining but was told i couldnt get it because it didnt exist. So i got the phone line on and now i have to wait. I decided to stick with the phone line one cause the technician said it is quicker and if i go with the wireless it runs off mobile towers and can disconnect easily. But i got a few extra months half price out of them for their stuff up. Bloody idiots. So i will be laying low again this week and it should all be good next week.

We did a dash trip to Sydney on the weekend- left sat morning and got back Monday night. We went to the motor show and the casino. It was fun- but i was a tag along on a boys weekend (my hubby and our house mate) i will be planning the next trip (hopefully in about a month) and i plan to hit sydney for enough time to meet a few people (especially little people like a certain Oliver...) and then heading to Melbourne too. I may be doing it solo- or a bit with DH and a bit on my own if he has to get back for work. I will try to be organised (we are very last minute people which makes it hard on the people we try to organise things with!! LOL) so i can make arrangements to meet up.

I am waiting patiently for my net- until then i will be a bit scarce.
Love to all

Katti xoxo

Im sorry I havent been around much either. I have actually written two big long posts but they have both disappeared (maybe someone can let me know whast I did wrong). When I sent the onelast night a message came up saying I would have to wait for a Moderator to approve before it would be sent??

Anyway, just wanted to send big hugs and all my love to you Mel - I know how devastating it is and if there is anything I can do please let me know.

Will try to post again later and hopefully it will come through this time???

Naomi

Hey Kat, good to see you back!

Naomi - how are you?
