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

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

: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:
