Welcome saph.. I am very sorry to hear of your losses and your struggles. I have found this group to be very helpful in my dicision to try again. (4th attempt- zero success) It can be very daunting, and its a hard choice to make. Good luck with it all. You have come to the right place.
Aunty M Happy 4 months Yeti!! Thinking of you and DH Aunty M hugs and kisses
Sorry for lack of personals.... i am at work again!!
Well, i am getting excited. If i go by the date i started to bleed last month i am 6 days late.However, if i take it from when i "should" have bled i still have 11 days to go. So i am going to try to hold off another 11 days and if there is still nothing i will test. That is the plan anyway. I have no doubt i will test before that, but i will try to wait.
I am not putting too much hope on it happening this month anyway, due to messed up cycles. I am telling myself that so i dont get too upset if im not preg. Lets see if it works. I will keep you all informed!!
to anyone who needs one!!
I have a question... Can anyone recomend a doctor (are we allowed to ask that?) in the Northern NSW Tweed coast area. i have my local dr in Mullumbimby who i will see for the first few weeks, but then i need to go north to at least Tweed, prefferably Gold coast for delivery and for regular monitoring. I want a good one (duh) so maybe if any one knows of a good kind thourough doctor around that area could you let me know please. Thanks heaps.
Mel - I am ok. I am scared again now. I have an u/s tomorrow and I am just so scared. I hate looking at the screen in fear that there won't be a heartbeat. Anyway, how are you? Why are you in pain? I hope you are ok
Kat - sorry I can't help with dr up your way. Maybe post in the dr thread and see if anyone can help you. Have you tested yet? Good luck! It is so hard to work out when to start testing when you have weird cycles.
Lynn: I have everything I can possibly crossed for you tomorrow. I know too well how nervous/scared/frightened it can be leading up to a scan. Don't forget, before long you will start to feel Hope move and then you will be able to get your own reassurance every day. I hope MIL is easy on you tomorrow, as I said, if you want me there just call. Even if you decide just as you are on your way. I'm good at keeping MIL under control
Mel: In pain, what's up? I hope you are ok. If you get a chance drop in and let us know how you are. I am going to call tomorrow night so if you don't feel like a call, just let me know.
Kat: 6 days late, that is fantastic. You must have a lot of self control to hold of testing. I hope so much this is a BFP for you. About the Ob question, what I did when I moved to Sydney was to call the major hospitals, ask to speak to the head midwife and asked their opinion. I wanted someone who had experience in what I had been through, was sensitive to me being so crazy. It was very difficult to explain my situation over and over again but it was worth it. I then researched their recommendations and came across the Ob I now have. He has been fantastic. You can also post as Mel suggested and see if you can get any ideas from the BB girls.
Klee: I hope that darn cold buggers off soon. You poor thing. I am sending you some bit *get better* sympathy.
Well I have finally updated my mood to mellow. I saw the chiro again and boy do I feel better. I have to go twice a week for a fortnight and then weekly until the birth. She is fantastic so if anyone in the Sydney area wants a recommendation for a Chiro, who is safe during pregnancy, I'd be happy to pass on her details.
I have managed to get some stuff for our move organised today. Carpet cleaning, pest fumagation, booking trucks etc, it all takes plenty of time but at least I can do it in my PJ's and at home. I think I might finish work in 3 weeks not four, I am worried I am going to be so bored and I am scared of being alone with my thoughts, but at the same time I need to listen to my body. Only 6 sleeps until DH is home... again... Yay.
Saph - sorry to hear about your loses and i hope that you can be on the road to having a bouncing bean in your tummy very soon. i wish you a safe journey and know that we are all here in this together.
Happy birthday Yeti - sending kisses and cuddles to you and your mummy and daddy.
Lynn - good luck with the scan tomorrow - Hope will be bouncing around. It will be exciting ok and everything will be just perfect.
Klee - yes carmen can be yours - soon hey ? Get going and DTD....hope you are well.
Hello to everyone else - hope you are all well. These moods sure change quickly hey ??
Re: "In Pain" mood... When I got to work this morning I started getting really severe cramping in my lower pelvis, I mean really severe. Borderline to the point I was going to go home. It was painful even just walking around but much worse when sitting down. It last full on for a couple of hours and then settled down a little but I have felt slightly crampy on and off all day. Its almost like really severe pre menstrual symptoms, and it makes me wonder if I am going to get a visitor over the next couple of days, slightly early but stranger things have happened. Oh well anyway, I am sure I will live and it isnt as bad tonight so I will have to change my mood!
Katti - I tried to send you an email yesterday and it bounced back so I tried again tonight and it bounced back again. Then I tried to send you PM (before I read the thread) and it gave me this message: "The following errors occurred when this message was submitted: Katti81 has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her." If you havent chosen not to receive the messages I am wondering if your message box is full? I know you can only receive 10 messages at 1 time. Anyway, if you want to email me, my email is lilleymel@aol.com. that you ARE 6 days late! Surely you cant resist testing? If you do your a better woman that me
Spring - Thanks I am ok, just a bit of a wuss probably. Tomorrow night is great, look forward to it (hopefully no medical emergencies this time LOL). I should be home by 7... Well done on getting some stuff organised, I just hope you are still resting up - drs orders remember
Lynn - Good luck tomorrow, Im sure you wont need it but youve got my positive vibes flowing your way all the same. I hope you can get a good night sleep, I can only imagine how scary everything must be
Klee - Poor thing about the sniffles, must be all that standing out in the cold on Saturday night Was really good catching up, its nice to have a few laughs. OMG the mudslide was delicious - I will have that for dessert any old time!
Hey Saph - I dont think there is anywhere you can read everyones stories but we can probably each fill you in a little, my story is...
My son Nicholas was stillborn on 5 Sept last year at 36w1d. He was our first baby. We found out a little while after that I have anticardiolipin antibodies which is a blood disorder that caused a clot to form behind the placenta. It was tough, actually it still is
We started trying for our 2nd baby as soon as we were given the all clear, but to this date we have not succeeded. We are now going through the processes to begin IVF. They cannot find anything medically that is causing our infertility - our fertility specialist calls it "idiopathic infertility" - YAY! It is sooooo frustrating - we were ready for a baby over a year ago and by all accounts had one only for him to taken away from us, and now to get that extra slap in the face by not being able to conceive another...
Anyway thats a run-down... I am sure all of the other girls will be happy to fill you in about themselves.
I hope you can find this group as supportive as I have, I have to say I dont know where I would be without the beautiful ladies I have met through BB (probably the loony-bin), they are absolute god-sends

Howdy everyone. thank you all for thinking of my little Yeti today. it is so difficult because this time i can't picture in my mind what he would be like at 4 months. he is just so gone from me. i'm going to go put a cherry tree in the yard for him.
tommysmum- Wilber is a grand name!
Kat- good luck on trying to wait- i never seem to be able to . . . . i hope you have a bfp!
Lynn- hugs to you for tomorrow's scan. what a stresser.
Saph- welcome, and i wish you the best of luck with ttc. this is such an awesome, understanding bunch! as for history, four months ago today i gave birth to my first son, Yeti, at 39 weeks. he had died two days before from a cord accident. we had gone in for a regularly scheduled prenatal, and the midwife couldn't locate his heartbeat. from that moment on, life has been surreal and so full of pain. we are ttc, although that scares me just as much as not. i'm glad you are here, and i am so sorry for your losses. hugs.
can anyone tell me how on earth to change the "mood" thingy? i figured it out once, but today it is beyond me. thanks.
Mel, our stories are a bit similar in the secondary infertility, it's so frustrating when they can't find a reason for you not falling pregnant again after you did it so successfully the first time.... Thankyou for sharing
Auntie M, I'm so sorry to hear of your darling little boy Yeti. Moving forward is such a struggle day after day. Hugs.
saph - my story, i lost my phoebe at 37 weeks 5 months ago to a cord accident, I'm not feeling up to telling much more today, except that this is our first month of officially ttc'ing.
Hey all,
just a quick one from me, off to the dr later this afternoon, ever since I started on my iron tablets i've been getting chest pains & what feels like heartburn, so i think it's about time I check it out!
Mel: I am so sorry to hear about the cramping. Have you been tempted to test? I know how hard the TTC journey has been for you so I hope so much that you get a nice surprise soon. Don't forget, I got terrible cramps leading up to my BFP. I thought for sure AF was on her way. I'll call after 7 tonight. Can't wait to chat.
Saph: Forgive me if I don't really want to give my whole story today but the jist of it is I lost my first son Harrison at 36 weeks 2 days. He had problems that we were aware of, but we never thought we would loose him. I was so blessed to fall pregnant on my third cycle after giving birth and now counting the days until I meet this little treasure. Harry is doing a wonderful job of being our guardian angel and taking care of us.
Jo: I hope the doctors manage to sort out that pain. Take care
