Still waiting......
Had a little scare yesterday,(TMI) i had a small amount of blood when i wiped once, but nothing since......still feeling crampy tho so i am expecting flood gates to open today. I was stuck at home with no car and no chemist within 5 km so i couldn't get a test- and the one day i am counting on mummy to come and drive me- she decided it was too wet and windy to drive up and see me.
I didn't tell her what i wanted to do coz i didn't want to make her feel bad. but i will be making my way to a chemist today and i will be sharing my news soon- just have to do pays and a few things then i should be able to slip away....unless Af shows her face first.
I know that sometimes people have said early preg can feel like AF, and i feel so either way at the moment i am going with that theory. POsitve thinking!!!
For mel- i am taking aspirin already for my ACLA - i had one doctor recomend i start taking it from 12 weeks, but another suggested i should be on it all the time regardless of whether i am pregnant or not- he said blood clots could appear anywhere at anytime, so for my own safety i should take it forever. He also said if i am having trouble getting to 12 weeks (or concieving) that i could go on another drug- called Heperon or something like that- but it is a full on course of meds and we told to wait and see if we mis carry a few times first. How thoughtfull of him- loose a few more babies first and then i might help you some more.
Not sure if that helps at all mel, i will try to call you this arvo and see if i can help anymore. Been missing you... HURRY UP PRIMUS!!!!!
Jo hope you are feeling good today!! Keep up the hard work!!!!
jo - take a deep breath, now relax, visualise those swimmers catching the egg, yes they are gonna catch it.
starbright - good luck with the testing, lol on the not going to the toilet for fear of af, if only it was as easy as that
Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you all know I am back. I have been laid up with the flu but I am beginning to feel more human.
Starbright - wishing you luck. I hope that you get that . I will go through and read what you have all been up to now.
Hi girls,
Just a quick question, It will be 4 weeks this sat since i lost my twin girls :-~( Well since my last post i have had a lot of on of bleeding, never completly gone but almost, last week it was very heavy on the thursday fri sat and sun so heavy that the doc sent me to the hospital on the friday. had a scan monday to check for left overs and they siad there is only the tinyest bit left and it would come out on it's own as it has no supply.. however i i'm still very lightly bleeding e.g when i wipe only.. and have been getting a pinching feeling in my right side all day.. What do you think the chances of last week being my monthly and today been o' pain.. desperate to get on with ttc and not sure if i can if i'm even slightly bleeding..
Also i am on anti-b' just in case and iron as my blood test came back low h/globin (9).
Any advise would be great..
howdy everyone! it took me a bit to catch up on everything, but i think i have it now, shew!
Judy- thanks for putting Yeti's name in the sand with the other angels. it means so much to us to have his name honored somewhere besides in our own hearts. good to see you back, whenever you wish to join!
Jo- sounds like you have a good doctor for dh, and maybe some fun last night too! would he be up for a counselor at all? men can be so touchy about those things, but fertility issues so cut to the quick of who we are . . .
Klee- happy late 6 month birthday to Phoebe. hugs to you a little late. what a beautiful saying to hold her close in your hearts. i'm sorry af came again. maybe the charts can work their magic next cycle (fingers crossed).
Starbright- hugs to you for your angels this past weekend. any news on the test?
Laura- i've got no medical knowledge at all, so i'm not much help. i did have cramps for 4/5 weeks after Yeti's birth, and the midwife said it was my muscles returning to normal after stretching to hold Yeti. they were just like menstrual cramps.
Lynn- so glad to hear that Hope is doing well!
Spring- I love to hear about lil' spring -- the arrival is so close!! i'm holding my breath for you all.
as for me, our hiking trip was wonderful and rugged and loads less rain than we expected. no bears, but i did see a bull moose up close and personal. fortunately, our dogs saw reason and didn't pester him. i started the trip on such a downer, because i had spotting for the first day and knew af was on her way. then Yeti's 5 month birthday seemed to creep up and grab me to make af's certain arrival so much more painful. but then, each day, af didn't come and the spotting didn't continue. dh asked me to wait as long as possible to test so that the chance of a false negative wouldn't be as high, and we only brought one test along to save on weight. the hiking took my mind off of testing, and on tuesday we got a BFP!!
i feel so sure that Yeti is close to me now and is happy that he has a little brother or sister who will (!) stay longer with his mom & dad. i'm so happy to be pregnant right now, and i'm just hoping to be able to enjoy that for a bit. i know i can tell you all that i can't imagine that this pregnancy will end with a live baby, but if i can enjoy the pregnancy that i do get and love this little critter, that will be good in itself. i told my dh that, and he said he understands, but that i might not want to tell others, because it sounds a little twisted to folks who have not firsthand experienced the loss of a baby. so there is my lovely news, and it is my hope that each of you will have similar lovely news as soon as possible! love to all
Honey my deepest sympathy for the loss of your little girls Imogen and Sophie. What wonderful names you have given them. Big :hugs: to you.
It may be possible that you are O'ing but it is also possible that you are still bleeding from birthing your girls. My bleeding continued on and off for about 3 weeks and I didn't get AF back until week 6. It isn't uncommon for the bleeding to get heavy and then light. If you have other signs that you may be O'ing you could try using an Ovulation Prediction Kit (OPK) you can pick them up from the chemist or the supermarket. You can also get them online but it may take a while for them to arrive.
thanks, Spring. i so want to think that we will bring this one home. you are very close, Spring, to bringing lil' spring home. i am sending good thoughts across the ocean. love, m
auntie m - oh my goodness, what wonderful news, congratulations. yeti's shining down on you, hubby and his little brother or sister. congratulations, wooooooooooooohooooooooooooooooooo
c'mon ladies, keep them coming
I'll be back later on to do some more personals, DH's uncle died on sunday so we are off to the funeral, he will be buried not far from Storm & for all the relatives it will be the first time they will have been to her grave (if they even knew she existed, in which case i guess they will find out fast as MIL may not have told anyone)
Laura - its possible you might be o'ing, i had a similar thing, i o'd whilst i was still bleeding, i bled on and off for 6 weeks, it stopped for about a day at week 5 then started again. i didn't realise until i got af 4 weeks later that the bleed in teh 6th week was actually af. don't know if that helps
Been missing you... HURRY UP PRIMUS!!!!!
