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

Hi Girls - I'm back :)

CONGRATULATIONS to Tess and Bailey :confetti: Wonderful news girls!

Big :hug: to everyone who is not feeling all that flash.

I am so sorry but I am not going to do personals because there are just too many pages of posts that I have missed - I have read all of them though.

Well I didnt post yesterday cause my flight was a little delayed and I didnt get in until jusdt before 9pm and then couldnt tear myself out of DH's arms for the rest of the night. We stayed in Caloundra and spent time there, in Mooloolaba and Marooychydore, we drive to Maleny and went to the Cheese factory (YUM!) and drove to Eumundi and all around that part. I had a good time, ate lots of good food and had a more than a few ****tails - probably irresponsible with the whole 2WW thing but I thought bugger it, I am probably not pg anyway so I am not ruining my holiday the same way I have made myself miss out of so much stuff over the last 8 months just to have AF arrive anyway. The best bit was after dinner on Monday night we went for a walk along the beach and I collected shells for the kids, we walked for about an hour away from the restaurant, which was already a 20 min walk from the hotel, and as we decided it was time to start heading back it started hammering down, we ran to a shelter and by the time we got there we were soaked, it was still pretty mild in temp and we were already drenched so we decided to walk home in the rain (over an hour away) and we walked barefoot through all the puddles and by the time we got home I was so soaked through that even my undies were soaked LOL. Anyway, it was nice but a little too long, sounds weird I know but I missed DH sooooo much :( I have decided I am never going away without him again, well maybe 1 night I can handle but no more than that. Spring I dont know how you do it with your DH away so often!

Last but not least, I gave in a decided to do HPT this morning and surprise surprise I got a -ive :wall: You would think you get used to it huh? But no, each one hurts just a little bit more than the last!

Klee - Good luck with your lunch today, it is gonna be tough but if it helps I think you are really brave for just saying you will go.

Lynn - Have fingers and toes crossed for you :pray:

Bye for now,

Mel

Oh just one more thing - Nicole just wanted to say welcome to the thread and I am glad you finally felt comfortable enough to introduce yourself, I am positive you will find everyones support makes your journey a little easier :hug:

Just a quickie to say my BT results are not back yet - grrr - what is it taking so long? I have to call back at 3.45pm and if they are not there then it will be tomorrow. Still the result will be the same whatever - come on blood people test my blood!!!

bailey - not sure if I have already said but yeh - get designing that ticker honey!!!
T.

mel - welcome back, we've missed you. sounds like it might have been just the thing that you needed, except next time with dh. good to have you back
lunch went well actually, her son was a little charmer, hard to be upset when i was looking at him. headache is still here though

Oh Klee, well done you for getting through it so well, I bet it wasn't easy :hug:

Klee - Thanks for the welcome back :D I am so glad you got through lunch ok, you are so strong (I still find it hard to see others babies, apart from my niece of course). I hope your headache goes away soon, lol at bumping your head and forgetting - lets blame concussion ;) I hurt myself all the time I am such a cluts (?sp), I can trip on thin air or headbutt the car, that's a fave I always do that and you've seen me its like I am so tall I cant judge the height! Yep, just a cluts LOL

Yay Mel is back! :confetti: I'm glad that you had a good time away. You never know those ****tails could be the trick to a bfp! Keep positive babe :hug: You still have a few days to test. I know what you mean about missing DH. I went over to Europe for 3 weeks a few years ago without DH. It was terrible. I tried to enjoy myself but everything I did and saw I kept thinking DH should be experiencing this as well. We had never been apart before and we haven't since!

Klee - Wow you are so strong :hugs: I hope you are feeling ok after the lunch.

Tess - sort them out!! It is awful waiting for bt results! I don't understand what takes them so long!!!!! Will come back later to hear the great news.

Nat - I just want to give you a big hug :hug: I will call you cos I am a bit down today as well. Let's have a good cry together.

Sh*t girls - where do i start - i check this morning and there was a little bit to read then only to return and you have to be a speed reader to catch up on all of this. I know i am going to miss heaps so i apologise in advance....

Mel - welcome back - sounds like you had a wonderful time and i think just what you needed...so wet undies hey ??? Don't stress about the -ive..i know it is hard but it will happen - you do know that don't you ?? :hug:

Bailey - 5 times - oh my god - YOU ARE PREGNANT OK ! But i don't think you are a serial tester...:rolleyes:

Spring - Olivia is a nice name for your girl isn't it - come on you can do it just bloody tell us - i mean who are we going to tell ??? And hello - you are very confident about tonights game - as far as i am concerned they can all belt the crap out of each other - i am so over the footy - but i probably will watch a bit here and there...

Tess - i am sure everything is fine with your bloods - but it is frustrating. How are you going ? You mentioned cramping - i had this for a few weeks before i found out i was pg and a few weeks after - thinking it was AF still coming (it was the same pain i get when AF is coming)...very bizarre so i am sure everything is just fine and this is all normal - how much we notice more of any symptom now...what a bugger !

Klee - i am clumsy with kicking my toe (usually the small one - why do we have it anyway ?..it just gets in the way for me). Hope you are doing ok.

Flowerchild - "dildo cam" - i love it ! Well, i don't mean that i love the procedure but i love the term that you use - great i will be thinking of that next time i have one (if i do).

Heybacko - i really thought it was going to be your month this month...but it will come. I hope you are ok.

Austrajoey - welcome to the thread. All the ladies here are total nutcases (including me) in case you haven't noticed. Sorry to hear about your losses. It is a terrible thing to go through. Take care and will talk soon.

Dream - nice to hear from you - chin up babe. Was looking forward to seeing you on Sunday - but definitely next time out your way.

Lynn - how are you doing ? not long now (i know it seems long but when you get to your BT for your results it will be well worth it).

Hello to everyone else.

I probably won't be online for the next few days as i have MIL to entertain till Sunday. Take care everyone and don't talk too much !!1

Ermmm, excuse me??? I am totally normal....okay there was the time I used a tube of 50 HPTs in a week, testing in France...but that was essential....

Admittedly, Lynn is a bit dodgy...and Mel and Spring are barking.....oh Bailey is a serial tester so she is crazy......Nat is borderline (although she has twigged about Nathan from Hi-5!!)....

Oh bugger it...she's right....we are all mad!!!!:p

Welcome back Mel - I missed you... :hug:

It sounds like you had a wonderful break - I must have missed the post where you said where you were going. We could have caught up!!!!!!! I live in Maleny (well out of town at least).... I feel really disappointed.... I am sorry that I didn't pick up on it... Next time okay????

I hope those results come in today Tess... WE are all waiting here with you...

HeybackO: LMAO about your post. It's funny cause it's true :cryinglaugh:

Mel: welcome back honey. You sound like you had a really great time with your friend. I am very envious, that is a beautiful part of the world. I am sorry about the BFN babe, I don't know what to say other than that is really crappy and I hope that AF stays the hell away.

Nat: I don't know how I'll be when my kids grow up and want to catch the bus. I can't even cope with my dogs going to the kennel for a few nights...lol....pathetic huh. Sorry that you had a tough time seeing all the kiddies today, there are just some things that act as triggers and that sounds like it is one. Hope that you are feeling a little cherrier this arvo. When DS catches the bus home give him a huge hug... Even though he is growing up he is still your little boy.

Deb: I didn't realise you lived at Maleny. We used to take weekend drives up there all the time when we lived in North Brissy. I just miss that place so much, you could go there for a day and feel like you had had a holiday.

Tommysmum: I now formally appoint you Deputy Director of the trying to trick Spring club (lol) Good luck with the MIL over the next few days. That sounds like my worst nightmare but hopefully your MIL isn't a complete psychopath like mine and you actually have a nice time.

Lynn: Sorry that you are feeling so down babe. If you need anything I am home today so just let me know. I agree, the sore throat may be a good sign. I am sure it doesn't feel like a good thing but :crossfingers: it is a BFP symptom.

Oh and finally, there is only 16 sleeps until DH is home. Started at 131 so I am getting excited. I know it is tough being apart from our DH's but I have found spending time alone and being happy with just me has really helped me grow into a strong person. It may sound a bit deep and meaningful but I am proud of the fact that I can maintain my sanity with DH away so much. However, I am entirely fed up with it so bring on 8 June I say.

Ok, better go and clean the shower and get the sheets off the line. Exciting stuff huh.

I'll be in later.

Lv Spring

I am so sorry ladies - I just called my doctor again and the results are still not in. WE all now have to wait until tomorrow.

I will catch up with you all tonight when i get home from work - too busy at the moment. Grr why did I move to a finance position!!!

Speak to you all later.

Oh you poor love having to wait until tomorrow... One more sleep... :hug:

Hello Ladies,
Wow, I was only offline for a couple of hours and look what happened.

Mel - Welcome back. It is good to hear that you had a good break. It is hard to be away from DH. We do it a couple of times a year when DH goes on his surfing trips and then I go shopping in Bangkok. It is really hard, but I think that it is good too. It is funny though, when we are apart I forget how much he can ***** me and I turn him into some kind of demi-god. Lol, it only takes re-uniting for an hout or so to remind me. No but seriously, it is nice to come home to them isn't it. Oh, you can youtube the Olden Days and it is in 6 parts, I have been watching them....OMG it's champagne comedy! Oh and with the BFN, don't worry yet, I tested sunday night (oops, I hadn't revealed that yet) and got a blatant BFN then tested Monday night and got the BFP! So it can change by alot in just a day. Fingers crossed for you!


Flowerchild - What would we do without you?? Thanks for all of that info. I think that I am just going to go through the Fetal Maternal Unit, I thought I could go private but I just discovered I don't have OB cover on my health fund. I have my first appointment in July at 12 weeks and they will discuss it with me there, I was hoping to go earlier, but they said they don't see anyone earlier than 12 weeks, even under my circumstances. The nice GP that I saw yesterday called me today and wants to see me on tuesday for another BT, which surprised me as with my other 2 pregnancies, they did one test then just referred me to the hospital. Maybe she just wants to re-assure me?

Dream - Oooh, I don't know what I will do when DS starts to get the bus and other grown up things. He is going through that 'I do it my own self' thing at the moment, and it is so sad :( And yep, you must have been right about the cramps...why didn't I just listen to Dr Nat in the first place? I could have saved a fortune on HPT's :D I understand that it is so hard when all you see is preggo's and new-borns everywhere. I felt that particularly at christmas time, wherever I went that was all I saw. I got to the point where I just didn't want to leave the house. It will be you soon I am sure.

Tommysmum - Stop trying to trick Spring, it's not going to happen! She will not give in I am convinced. So sorry about you being stuck with the MIL again, didn't she only just go home?? And you love the dido-cam huh?

Lynn - Are you feeling any better? Not long til you can test now huh? Saying that, this week will probably drag on for you. Crossing everything and rubbing the pig for you.

Heybacko - I think that the little jumping guys have been used so much in here lately that they are getting more coordinated.

Klee - Glad to hear that lunch went well. I had AF like cramps last week, and was convinced she was about to drop in, but a wise person told me that they could be implantation cramps. I also had headaches on and off for a couple of days too. If AF doesn't come in the morning, get a test. Good Luck!

Tess - Sorry that your results aren't back, you just want to hear the words from the doctor don't you. I did 5 tests and still didn't believe it til I got the BT results.

Hi too to everyone else, there are so many posts I don't know if I missed anyone. I was trying to write the whole post in Blue to anny Spring, but I am not feeling overly confident about our team, so if we win, I will do it tomorrow :D Go the Roaches!!

Hi Bailey - your ticker is fantastic. Have you worked out an EDD yet?
T.

Love that ticker Bailey.... :hug:

Nighty night everyone...

hey guys,
I haven't really worked out a due date, if my cycles were normal it would be the 23 Jan, but as they tend to be about 34 days, the calculator worked it out as 29 Jan. But I will have an elective cesarean (as my other two were c-sections) so it will probably be a couple of weeks before that. So, not really sure. What about you Tess, when is yours??

BAiley -luv the ticker - very cute !
YEs MIL was here a few weeks ago on her way to Scotland. NOw she is flying back in the morning (6.00am) and i will be there to greet her (in my PJ's), before she heads back up to Tweed on Sunday.
Are you going to go thru the HIgh Risk CLinic ?....is that the same as the FMC ? Also, are you going to see if you can see Prof Bennett public ?

SPring - ok ok you guys just got a try..but you are going to NEED IT !
