howdy everyone!
Jo- i'm sorry to hear about your dh's uncle. i hope the funeral went okay, and that the family was supportive of you, dh and Storm.
hi to Mel - i hope she is doing well!
starbright - i hope you are okay, darling.
Baily, Mel, Lynn, Klee, Jo- thanks everyone so much for your overwhelming joy for our new peanut and wonderful consideration for Yeti too. it feels so good to have you all here and so understanding. i'm not at all sick or tired yet, which makes me nervous. i was by this time with Yeti. we'll see. i'm trying to "stay on the sunny side, always on the sunny side".
Auntie M - I didn't have sickness with this bub and I was scared too that it meant something was wrong. It may still kick in. The one thing that is hard to do but I think it will make this pg a bit easier is to try not to compare it with Yeti. I know that is hard because I am always comparing mine with Cooper's but they are always going to be different. Little peanut will be coming home!!! Take care babe thinking of you.
Jo - I am so sorry to hear about DH uncle. I hope that Storm got the acknowledgement that she deserves. Take care :hugs:
Auntie M That is great news. I am sure Yeti is beng a good guardian angel for his tiny sibling. I have uploaded the new updates to the sand angels page. I haven't done Yeti's name in the sand yet. I was going to go down on the 23rd (14th anniversary of my mums passing) but DH was busy.
As for sickness I never feel anything with mine til around week 7 then it hits me.
Jo, so osrry to hear about DHs uncle but I hope now the family will have to make some acknowledgement of Storm.
Laura I think the post partum loss is different with each pregnancy. You could have a tiny piece of retained tissue which is causing the continual light loss and then heavier loss as another piece breaks away. I had that happen with Tash and with Annabelle. I know after Belle I went straight from retained tissue to AF. Your hcg by now would be low enough that you could still get AF even with the retained tissue.
Starbright when will you test? I had a chuckle over your piece.. i have restrained from buying them or else i test compulsivly even when there is no chance!!) .. that is me to and I argue with myself saying I am only testing to confirm that AF is on the way, then Dh says why test when if you wait a few days you can save the money and AF will be here if it is going to come. Such logic lol.
Klee what a wonderful note you wrote for Phoebe (((hugs))) How is the headcold? I hope you get good news at the end of the new 2ww.
Jo I hope Dhs enthusiasm has the desired result. Funny thng with Dhs is even if not they sya it was all good practise. My BIL got uspet when they were TTC #3 and got it first month with only 2 BD the whole month.. he couldnt get why SIL was so uspet when she m/c at 6wks coz in his eyes it meant more practise.. his words to my DH were "She goes off the boil when she's pg and won't do IT so now I get lots more practise time" .. men!
Spring not long now til lil spring arrives I hope we get to see pics. Keep safe and take it easy.
Mel I hope you got some answers on what to do testing for.
Bailey , just over half way thru, how are you feeling?
Lynn are you going to find out the gender or leave it for a surprise? If we had ever had another girl I had wanted to call her Nadia which I was later told meant New Hope... but DH has gone off the name. Ah well, first I have to get pg and with a girl lol.
Hi to anyone I missed.
I found ot why I have been so out of the loop the last 6 mths and not getting pg, I had a low grade uterine infection from the m/c of Joey back in Octeber last year. The Dr beleives that is why Etahn was m/c after that as the infection was what was causing all the bleeding and caused the abruption. I had antibiotics back in february but only one course as the dr thought the infection was gone but it wasn't. So all the back ache, tummy pains, spotting and then discahrge and foul smell were from the infection. So I am back on antibiotics and this time for 3 course as each one only lasts 5 days. I do not want it to come back again. I'll even put up with the thrush if it means the infection is gone permanently.
Anyhow, I wish you all a lovely weekend with springtime in the air.
Hugs
Judy
howdy everyone!
Lynn- it is so difficult not to compare the pregnancies, especially because they are so close and at the same time of year. but you are right, i need to back off of the comparisons for so many reasons. don't want the little peanut to get a complex this early, lol. it is reassuring to hear that you didn't have m/s either. perhaps i will escape that fun, and still have a healthy bub.
Judy- thanks! i'm so glad they figured out your infection, that sounds like it is serious for your health and obviously Ethan's too. i hope the antibiotics kick it to the curb, and your ttc takes off!
Auntie M - I know it is so hard and this journey (unfortunately) doesn't get any easier. But that is what we are all here for.................the wonderful support
Judy - I hope your infection clears up and you get started on that TTC journey. I hope the antibotics kick in soon. I have found out the gender. It was something I needed to do to prepare myself. I just didn't need that suprise (or shock) at the birth. I am glad that I have found out as it has allowed us to choose a name and start calling *Hope* by its name. I feel that I have bonded more with it since I found out and this was another reason that I wanted to know. I was scared that I wouldn't bond, or get close because of the fear of losing it. But I guess when there is a precious miracle growing inside you it is hard not to bond.
hi girls,
I seems alot of people on here have become pregnant again quite quickly and hoping to as well, fingers cross, Any little hints of tips please.
Bleeding seems to be slowing now and i am expecting AF to prob show up as i stab in the back so i have another week of bleeding (as if not enough already) In the 4-6 weeks bit and i'm scared and worried what lies ahead.. answers to loss, AF, poss BFP(if i'm lucky enough) and on top of that little lot were lokking to sell house and and i'm changing jobs.. and still crying every night for my girls..
Would love to be in a possition to give you guys all loads of help and advise but sure that will come in time, so can i just seen out a big hug with lots of baby dust to all you girls trying ((())) and one to all those with Bumps already with extra sticky dust ((()))
howdy everyone.
Lynn- it is good to hear you say that it is hard not to bond, because i have already started to worry about that. i've been talking to both Yeti and the little peanut both, and trying not to favor anyone. i suppose i sound like a basket case, but oh well. lol.
Laura- sounds like you are on the right track, and once af shows up then you are off and running.
morning ladies, how was everyones weekend?.
mine was lovely, the nice weather kinds of adds some vigour to life. finally got out into teh garden and got the heart pumping (no not in that way that might have scared the neighbours) and had a lovely lunch yesterday with mel.
i'm still feeling good and have made a few decisions on the next chapter of my life and it starts now. one of the things phoebe has made me realise is that I can sketch, and I want to offer that to you ladies, so if anyone is interested pm me.
i will have a read up and do some personals later, i just wanted to get that out there.

Just quickly Aunty M i am sooooooooooooooooooo happy and excited for you!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYAYA YAYYAYAYAYA
Now, its all about me!!! I have to get this out before boss comes!!
OK, everyone- i have had one hell of a weekend!!!!!!!!!
On friday i left work to go get a test- then i got locked out of the office and couldn't get in to tell anyone it was a
So, to my husbands realistic logic- we decided it is still too soon to tell.
All weekend, no AF.
Mel was going through the same thing, no AF, no BFP, so we spent saturday texting eachother all day to distract ourselves. It was a fun day.
Sadly on Saturday night Mel received AF
I did another test sat morning and got a SFP (Small faint positive)
but it was so light i had to get someone else to check it for me, i was not imagining things, there was the faintest, shadow of a line where the positive line should be- but definatley not a BFP. So i tested again on Sunday and got BFN again.
Now, still no AF, run out of tests and i am not allowed to do another till wednesday because everytime i get a neg, i get stressed and confused, so DH and i have decided until AF shows her face we are assuming i am pregnant. I am still feeling weird, pains in belly like AF, but nothing else. Funny taste is still in my mouth and a bit of an itchy throat thing happenening.
BUT STILL NO GOD DAMNED BFP
Sorry its just a little frustrating. AF could come at any time, or it could be gone for the long haul- i still dont know for sure!!!! I dont know whether to get myself excited under false pretensese or just calmly wait and see, which is so easy!!!
Well, that is my predicament ladies- i have read quickly through posts, but no time to reply- sorry- i am going to concentrate on work today and try not to think about it all- Good luck to me. I will be in if AF arrives.
Hi to everyone, belly rubs to Auntie M!!! Congrats dear, i am hoping i will be there with you soon!!! for me!!
Also thought i would mention, had a strange spotting thing last wednesday,(day before AF was due) just a little blood when i wiped, nothing more, nothing less. Sounds like what Aunty M had- so i am staying hopefull until i know otherwise!!!
And i would also like to just say that while i am trying to remain positive- i have memories of my missed miscarrage, so i am hoping i am not repeating that again.
Just checked- still no AF.
Love ya all!!!

starbright - i don't know whether to congratulate you or what, but everything is crossed for you. any chance of having a blood test to be sure to be sure.
judy - guess its kind of good now you have a reason why you haven't been falling, get those antibiotics into you and get rid of the infection for good. hoping you can get back to ttc'ing soon
bailey - fantastic to see you, wow nearly half way, how you feeling?
jo - i hope the funeral went ok and your tww is not getting to you too much
Lynn - so good to hear you are bonding with hope. i hope he/she is being kind to you and that your sacrum is not causing you too much pain
aunty m - i hope peanut gives you some welcoming m/s soon lol, keep the positive outlook going and let peanut draw from this
laura - hope af comes for you so you can get to ttc'ing, maybe spend the time she does come to prepare yourself for starting to try again, both mentally and physically, i guess just make sure you are physically ready for it, you know by keeping healthy. i know when i am healthy i feel mentally and physically ok, its when i get sick that i lose that control.
i am going to try this positive outlook thing, i finally feel that my mind is at the right place, i just hope my body follows
Starbright I hope you get a clear answer soon and preferrably two clear lines.. getting faint lines is good though. now we just need to hope they darken up. **fingers crossed** for you
Lynn I found it a hard palce to be in when I was pg with Samuel. You can't help but bond with the new little person kicking away but in the back of my mind I worried on quiet times that he too had played skip rope with his cord and tangled it. I didn't have a doppler but I did borrow a stethoscope from a freind so I could hear his heartbeat.
Whenever I mentioned my worries to my OB he would say if I was at all concerned to go into the maernity ward and get a CTG for an hour to unworry.. but I baulked at it coz when I went in with Annabelle she hadn't moved for 24 hrs but they did find her heartbeat and then the on call OB did nothing except monitor with CTG and then it was too late. My OB reassured me time and again that if I went in at any time after 26 wks and they had a baby in distress they would do an emergency c sec rather than end up with another stillbirth. I was induced at 38 wks anyhow due to insufficient amniotic fluid which had started decreasing at 34 wks.
Now after all the m/c I have yet to even believe I'll get past 12 wks never mind 26 wks or 38!
Once you have clear view of bub moving as you get further on see if you can video of your tummy moving. We did with Samuel and it is an amazing memory to have captured.
angelic dragon- i wish i had had a dr who wasn't scared to take my baby out when we had the chance. Instead they sent me home with a bloodclot on the placenta at 35 weeks and said she'll be right. Next day it wasn't so right.
Sorry to put a damper- but do whatever you feel you need. Go in everyday for that monitoring if you can. Whatever makes you feel good and safe. And tell your dr your fears so he has no excuses.
Sorry again, dont mean to bring up bad things, it just still hurts sometimes. I wish i went to your dr that day and not mine.
Hi Starbright, yeah I wish my Dr had been on call the night I went in with Annabelle, things may have been so different.. I used to wonder what may have happened but it only ended up hurting more so I had to quit and just accept that for that moment in time the on call OB did what he thought was best at the time... he was an older OB so I trusted he knew what he was doing. They did give me the first steroid shot in case they had to do an emergency c sec but she died before I got the 2nd shot and before they could make a decision.
we all have sad memories and at times they come to the surface and we wish for different outcomes. I am so sorry any of us to be here. (((((((hugs)))))))
Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone is well. I haven't had a chance to read through all posts but just wanted you all to know a little bit of good news. Today, Mel started the IVF process. I am not sure exactly she does today, but it is all systems go. I am sure she will try to log in in the next few days, but she wanted me to let you all know.
So good luck Mel, sending lotsa and - vibes your way!!
Hello to all you beautiful ladies!! I am still waiting, but i am taking the approach that i am pregnant until i know other wise.....
I am not at work... i have come to a friends house so i can have a relaxing time on the computer. i have had a chance to have a real read through the posts and i have a few little things to fix up...
JUDY you arn't yet pregnant, i thought you were for a second there... i still go with what i say when you are, it is something i will be looking into doing.... i never knew you could just sort of turn up at the hospital and ask, i will be arranging that for my sanity. I also hear what your saying about how you have come to accept that what happenend has happened. i have had to do the same thing. no if only's can bring our girls back.... we can just be blessed we had them inside us for as long as we did. BIG HUGS
And it was thursday, not friday i started testing, i think..... i cant really remember, what did i do on fri??? Thats right, i cleaned my house spotlessly to keep my mind occupied... so yes it was thursday i left work to test, not friday....
AND ONE MORE>>> LYNN i didn't know you actually knew hope is a girl and you are calling her hope!! I asked a silly question the other week about that... silly me.
AUNTIE M .... WOW, I feel so happy for you!!! It was such a suprise to come online and find out about your BFP, i was only thinking the other day that you would be due to come back soon with news.... it is more than a little bit inspiring to hear.
You were talking about being pregnant at around the same time as with yeti... that will be difficult, especially if your due date falls close to his birthday, i hope you will see it as Yeti trying his hardest to be close to you through this. I am actually not going to be pregnant at the same time as any of my pregnancies, but while i am going on the notion i am pregnant now.... my baby will be due possibly around the time we lost Darren at 18weeks. I have had a feeling that it will be THE day, and if it is i will deal with it, and think of my beautiful baby boy too. What was your spotting like??? i had a weird thing on wednesday where i had blood on one wipe but then nothing else? does that sound similar???
I am so happy for you!
