So happy to hear that Baby Spring is bouncing along!!! I know the relief and the smile that comes with those great scans. YIPPPEEEEE
Mel, I am sorry that things are so rough with this woman. It sounds really hard.
Lynn, you have been in my thoughts all day. Please come and tell us how you are. :hugs:
Thank you so much for your warm welcome. You are all amazing.
Lynn - sorry to hear about your frustration. I always used OPKs and they worked for me (I was very regular) but ever since the first m/c they just aren't reliable for me. Don't know why. But I still went to Priceline on my lunchbreak and dropped $20 on a new box I hope your scan went well.
Mel - wow, DH's ex sounds like a psycho. I agree with the person who said stick to the court order. Sounds like the ex won't keep her promises, and sorry to hear about the little one. For what it's worth, if DH wants more time with the kids maybe you could apply for a variation to the custody order? Then the ex would have to comply. Sorry if I am butting in but I work in the courts so it's kind of my area .. anyways HTH.
Mish: about DH, well I guess they can all be like that. But since we are three-time losers (that is just my sense of humour, by the way) he is very cute keeping up with cycle days etc. Even so, the thing that used to work for me was silence. And then...start him up! You know, so he gets all hot and bothered but has no idea whether it is ttc time or not. Actually it took us eight months to get pg the first time, so I was thinking we might have problems in that area. But ever since we seem to get pg at the drop of the hat. But thank you for your message, it is nice to know there is someone experiencing the same thing as I am.
Sorry for the long post ladies. I just got word last night that my FS is referring me to the recurrnet m/c people at her clinic, so that is good news IMO. I don't know yet when I can get an appointment though.
Ok, just warning that this could be a long post.................
DH and I went and saw the FS this afternoon and I was soooooooooooo nervous. I told him about my cycle and how I haven't o'd yet and it is CD22. I told him that I o'd last month on CD22 but AF arrived on CD29 so not good. I told him that it took us forever to fall pg with Cooper and then how we lost him. He did a scan and said that there are some follicles there but they are small and I'm likely not going to O this month. He said that I definitely have PCOS which is not good hearing but in another way is because I kept getting conflicting answers from different obs. So yes I have it! Anyway he has put me on Metformin which is what I wanted so that is good. He said that this has nothing to do with why I lost Cooper but he is going to test everything so it can be ruled out. So I had a BT today (and they took half my blood!!!!) and I have to go back tomorrow for them to take the other half! Hopefully with all the tests they are doing we will be able to see what is happening and make a plan. We are seeing him again next Tuesday to get the results and to work out a plan. He said that we can try a cycle on Clomid and Metformin or we can do both of them and FSH injections. DH joked with the FS about buying a Tarago Van - how embarrasing!!!! This is supposed to be serious and he is joking about having 6 babies!!!!! I am just so glad that I am getting things moving now and didn't wait until next month. I know that it hasn't been long since I had Cooper but I am frustrated more that I am not o'ing because without this I can't have a baby. So hopefully with the FS, he can help make it happen I am just finding it so hard lately, not only grieving the loss of Cooper but also to go through the pain of not being able to fall pg.
Deb - thank you for your help and guidance and always thinking about me. Thank you for pushing me to have the scan done. I am so glad that I have so I know what is going on. Even though I won't be o'ing this month, at least there is a plan for next month
Nat - thanks for the chat and as always making me feel so much better. You are so knowledgeable and I appreciate everything that you have done for me. I should start to call you Dr Nat
Mel - my test junkie friend how are you going? How is your testing going? I hope so much that this is your month still. I guess I can stop testing this month........nah it gives me something to do each day! lol. And it will be interesting to see what happens and what the tests say should be happening. I'm so sorry to hear about DH crazy ex - what a psycho!! That is awful about the little girl and her sores - I hope they get seen to soon and she gets better. I hope this is all sorted out quickly because you don't need the ex's drama right now and she needs to look after her kids. You said it - life is cruel. It is just so unfair when there are some wonderful mums that don't have their babies and then there are mums that need lessons on how to look after their babies.
Spring - I am so happy that your scan went well and that your BP has come down. I hope you are taking it easy and resting.
Bailey - lol at the comment about open legs - can I close mine now!!!! I asked the FS today if we still needed to bd and he said it wouldn't hurt. I thought I was off the hook now!!! I am sorry that you got upset on Sunday when you got home. It was so great to meet you and Spring and to talk face to face about our lives and our precious sweet angels. I hope you are doing ok today. You are probably busy - isn't the day about now?
Jo - it is so wonderful to have you back. I have missed you. I understand that you needed your time and I hope you are feeling ok. I hope you managed to find a smile today. Stay with us - big hugs to you.
Mish - fingers crossed for you that DH isn't too tired when he gets home. Hopefully he gets home in time for the big day.
Tess - hope you are well. Take care.
Scarlet - welcome and I'm sorry that you have joined us but I hope that you can find love and support here. Welcome to the test junkie group!
A big thank you to everyone for supporting me over the last couple of days - I've been a bit of a nutcase but I appreciate everyone being there for me.
So glad that your appointment today was productive, I have been thinking about you and hoped that you would visit. The FS sounds like he is going to do every test under the sun which is great.
Lol about DH and the Tarago. In all seriousness though, I hope one day that becomes the biggest problem that you have, where on earth are you going to fit all those kids.
Well I hope they are kind to you tomorrow and don't take too much blood. I am so proud of you for being proactive and doing what you need to do to get the answers you deserve.
Huge big proud
Scarlet: I am glad that you have the referral to the recurrent m/c clinic. Hopefully they will help you find the answers so you never have to experience this pain again.
Lynn - I am so sorry you are going through this, but I am glad you went to have the scan. I really hope the FS can help your cycle work itself out next month. LOL at the Tarago, DH and I joke about the same things seeing as he has 3 (all back seat age) and we want a couple of our own! My sis and BIL laugh at us all the time about it. I have continued with the testing but no O on test this month, I dont think I will do anymore this month though. I think I have though - mind you considering I truly believed I was pregnant last month we all know I obviously dont know my body all that well. Take care of yourself and I hope you get a good night sleep and can wake up feeling slightly better tomorrow morning LOL at the test junkie friend - its so hard to resist huh!
Spring - that is wonderful that Spring Jnr is doing so well. How exciting you will have that little bubba in your arms before you know it. Oh and really glad you got your blood pressure down, well done! Have you overcome your white coat syndrome?
Scarlet - That's not a long post! Read mine LOL! I hope you get your appointment soon. Re DH getting a variation to the orders, we are trying to avoid anything to do with courts cause it cost us almost 8K to get the court orders put in place and it will cost us even more to get a variation. He is happy enough with the time he sees them, he just worries about them because obviously he cant get any straight answers from her. But I will try not to let her affect me, we have each other and whether she likes it or not the kids love their father (and me too to be honest). What an interesting job working in the courts, you must see alot of stuff - our problems would be mild in comparison LOL.
Mish - I hope DH has saved some energy for his return Music & Lyrics was pretty good, definitely a bit of a chick flick but had some funny bits and I like both Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. Wow, he looks so old in it though! Even DH said it was ok (unless he was trying to be nice). Not the best movie I have seen, but enjoyable all the same - I am sure Gold Class helped a little.
Hi to everyone, hope you have a nice night. I have the day off tomorrow and an appointment at another agency. The girl from this place rang me today to ask when I could start working, I said I havent even met with you yet LOL!
Nah I havent finished up yet - Thursday 1st March is my last day and I am counting down the days Its exactly 6 working days, and then a whole week off. The lady from the agency I saw the other day thinks she can get me heaps of work at the Western Hospital which is only about 15-20 mins away from where I live... beats an hour travel into the city everyday!
Mel - I am sorry to hear the ex is still stark-raving mad. It's so sad that some mothers will use their kids in this way just to get at their ex's. I think that she is just doing all of this for attention from him. Poor kids. plus this is the last thing that you and DH need to worry yourselves about when there is lots of BD'ing to be done. I hope that it is all sorted out soon.
Lynn - I am so happy for you that you have gone to see the FS sooner rather than later, this will hopefully speed up your BFP. It must be good to know that you are now doing everything possible to get your bubs. It's great that you have the FS to help you make a plan.
Mish - I hope that your hubby wasn't too tired when he got home
Scarlet - Thats great you got your referral. I hope you get an appointment soon.
Spring - Glad to hear that Lil Spring is doing well and your BP is normal. It must be great to have such an understanding OB and to get all of those scans watching your cute little blob getting bigger (he/she looks just like you by the way )
Well guys, I am ok. I was just a little sad on sunday cos to hear about your little angels from you was just so hard. I don't talk much about it cos I don't want to get upset or upset family or friends by opening up, so it was kind of strange to really be able to talk about it all iykwim. It was really good though, it felt good to purge it without worrying about upsetting anyone, and especially to people who really understand. So thanks again.
I am attending the SANDS support group tommorrow with my friend that I told you guys about (for those who don't know, a friend of mine lost her beautiful little man in december) so I will let you know how it goes. I hope they don't make you talk if you don't want to?? Not sure if I will feel like telling my story at the first meeting...we'll see.
On another note, I am pretty sure that I O'd yesterday, or last night. We haven't done any BD'ing since Sunday night as I thought I would just try to increase my chances of having a girl. We decided we would try it that way just once to see if it worked. Have thought alot about the boy/girl thing alot over the last few days, and I can honestly say that I want a little girl not to replace Asha, but to give me a little hint to see what she would have looked like as she grew. Of course I would be happy with whatever sex we had, as long as it was healthy, but I think it would be nice to have her little sister. I hope that all doesn't sound too weird, I am finding it hard to put what I mean into the right words.
I hope your scan went well.
