TTC after Stillbirth/ Recurrent Miscarriage or Loss after the 1st Trimester May 07 #2

[bailey99]

Thanks everyone,
I've done another 2 tests (1 Pregnow and 1 Pregnosis) and they are both positive. So with 5 positives over 3 days with two different brands, I think I might start to believe it now!
Well, then again, I might wait to hear back from the doctor Woo hoo, that means I can make a ticker too now! Tthat is th real reason I wanted to get pregnant, the ticker.

LOL @ bailey! go get that ticker girl! hehehe!

Be back later to have a proper read of the posts! see ya!

[Heybacko]

Well, then again, I might wait to hear back from the doctor

Can you get the GP to hurry up please!!!

I am dying to use the green bouncey congrats which I haven't used since.....oooh, since Flower got pg!!!!

bailey - how about another few times just to be sure lol
now for the straightjacket, almost had myself convinced that my headache was a pg symptom until I read the thread this morning and remembered my headbutting incident. now i'm thinking it was a harder hit than i realised, giving me memory loss, lol

Hi Jo and welcome

I've had a squint at your profile and I am so sorry to read of your losses, you poor thing

I have 4 children and have recently have had 2 m/cs in a row at the end of the 1st Trimester - I still intend to keep trying as we still want to add to our family - so I'm with you on the craving another bubs scenario!

So yes...you are in the right place....!!

[bailey99]

Jo - if you are trying to concieve after a loss, you are in the right place. Everyone here is so understanding and supportive, so feel fee to talk/cry/laugh/vent.

Klee - Lol, maybe you hit your head BECAUSE you are pregnant and you lost your balance?? When is your AF due?

Heybacko - I know, I am waiting to call them, but I don't want to stalk them either, lol. I am pretty sure that I am UTD, after all you would hope that 5 tests are not wrong huh? But just after last months false positive I am pretty hard to convince.

[klee]

bailey - i must have been pg all my life, cause i am always losing my balance lol, think it was more the fact that i usually only work until 4 and i was still here at 5.30. AF due tomorrow or friday with all the same symptoms as last month so its pretty much a given that i am not pg

jo - you are in the right thread, sorry it has been a little crazy in here the last few days, I am so sorry for your losses, the ladies here are a wonderful support and its not only for if you are trying to conceive.

Austrjoey: Welcome honey, you are in the right place. If and when you feel up to it, please feel safe to share your story with us. This group of women are just wonderful (albeit a little crazy) so please feel free to be yourself. Big welcome

Bailey: Stalk them, they'll survive although I do agree 5 tests is enough for me. I am with HeybackO, I am just about to throw out another bunch of jumping faces but I might save that until this arvo, don't want to overdose.

Klee: How is your head babe, sounds like you got a good old hit, from one clutz to another, I have sympathy for you. I am always crashing into something at work.

HeybackO: How are you honey? Love to hear how life is going for you.

Tess: I have driven from Canberra to Sydney a few times and I think Golburn is about half way. But I'll check with hubby, he has done that drive a million times in the last 6 months.

Well if you haven't guessed, I am home today. Just had a killer headache and my boss was great and suggested I take a day. I am flying to Brissy tomorrow until Sunday. One of my closest friend's sons is having his first Birthday. My big sister is there also and heaps of really good friends so I am looking forward to it. Spending today doing some cleaning and packing. Going to go out later and get some good footy food to watch the Maroons kick butt tonight.

So I'll be around today. Just going to make a cuppa and I'll be back.

Hi everyone, will read and catch up with you all later when littlies are napping!!!
Too much to take in with The Backyardigans on in the background!!!!


Hey Spring

Thanks for asking after me, I've a wobbly few weeks...AF was due Saturday (coz O'd 2 weeks before, EWCM, etc) but came in the night last night...ObGyn (not mine, just her partner is a patient of DH) reckons I could have had a chemical pg as had a load of HPT come back +ve but my hCG yesterday was 29 and then AF said hi!! (I'd rather think it wasn't and it was just hCG left from the D&C 7 weeks ago yesterday. Don't want to consider having a chem pg.)

I'm okay though as hadn't had a full-on AF since the D&C and wanted to give my uterus a chance to build the lining back up nicely - just when you think you might be, you want to know right there and then don't you!! Well I do, I'm a bit of a Bailey really (self-confessed serial tester!!!)

Still, now I can graduate from the Waiting for AF Club and cross over here now!!

Hope you headache improves for tomorrow and the flight - how does Lil Spring find flying, does she like it???

Love Alex

Hey Heybacko: Sorry to hear that you have had a rough time of late. I would ignore what the ObGyn who isn't treating you who said about a possible chemical pregnancy. How would he know if you aren't his paitent. Seems irresponsible to be handing out advice willy nilly. My periods were out of whack for the first time in my life after I had Harrison. I had always had 28 day cycles and had a 31 day cycle so I am sure it is your body just getting back into the swing of things. The +ive HPT could have been as a result of your levels dropping back after the D&C, anyway, :hugs: to you babe, this is a new month and I have for a for you.

My headache is heaps better thanks, I just needed a sleep in and could have probably gone to work but I have 6 weeks of sick leave so one day won't hurt. I lay in bed until about 9.00am which was just delightful considering I usually get up for work at 5.50am!

I noticed you said Lil Spring was a 'she' hmmm, have you joined the trying to trick Spring into giving away the gender club. I hear Mel and Bailey are vying for President (lol). I think Lil' Spring will be active on the plane. It sure is the case when I am on the train, bub goes crazy whenever I get on the train which is a nice way to start the day.

Hope you are feeling better and those kiddies give mumma some computer time later on.

Ok, I finally called the doctors and I am official! Apparently my level is only 78 wich she said made me less than 4 weeks. Which, even though my last AF was exactly 5 weeks ago, because of my stupid cycles, I guess that varies it - maybe Flowerchild can tell me if that is right?? So, it looks like I can officially start to get excited now...maybe

[Heybacko]

I know, I was a bit stuck as she told my DH I could call her and as I don't have a ObGyn of my own and my GP was abit 'well it could be this or it could be that..', and now I wish I hadn't asked!! My fault I supoose!!

Yep, I'm usually bang on 28 days and this one was a 31-dayer so the cycle out of whack makes much more sense, I def. think the hCG was D&C left-over as I miscarried a few days before the D&C but didn't stop bleeding and had retained a lot of tissue which is why they D&C'd - bled for just over 5 weeks so guess my bhCG was still pretty high.

Makes much more sense and sits happier in my head too, thank you hun!!

Hee hee - do you think they would let me be Membership Secretary of the Trying to Trick Spring Club!!!

It's Hi-5 now, they are teaching my 2 1/2 year old how to use two dining chairs and a skipping rope to pretend to wave board - is it me or is that a tinsy bit irresponsible???? Luckily he is in his highchair having lunch so can't attempt to copy!!!

Blimey, 5.50am!! Do you work stange hours or have a horribly long journey??

Love Alex

[Heybacko]

B*gger Bailey, I was typing and missed you!!!

This what I found!!!!
3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml

!!


So I guess I can do this.....


Phew, that feels better, those little green guys have been hounding me...

[bailey99]

Heybacko, thanks for the jumping guys. But if you can trick Spring into revealing the sex, you are a better woman than the rest of us. She almost let it slip on Sunday, but no, it didn't come. I am sure that even if she said a 'he' or a 'she' to us, I don't really think I would even trust it, it could just be her slipping us a mickey. I suppose we will just have to wait. But I will be telling everyone as soon as I know....I am not a part pooper!

[bailey99]

Thanks Heybacko, so I could actually be over 4 weeks? I think that 4 weeks sounds more correct. I will just have to wait for The Encyclopedia Brit-Flowerchildia to tell me.

[klee]

bailey - wooohoooooooo congratulations, doing the happy dance now. just wanted to wait til after alex, cause wanted to see the green guys bounce. wooohooooooooooooo
spring - nice excuse to have a day off, you need to take more of those me days before lil spring comes along
headache still here, not sure if its from the headbanging or worry/stress at the fact that my boss is coming in with her 5 month old to have lunch with me today, and I just want to be okay with it

[AustraJoey]

Thanks for the welcome. I feel like I'm going crazy with sadness and frustration some days after so many m/c and still ttc since October 2003. I hate shopping lately as I seem to run into people who I know who have 2-3 kids in the same time I've had nothing but m/c. I want to quit but can't KWIM?
