2013 losses- rainbow baby making thread...

[Kasey84]

Karenh- I'm thinking of you I'm the tww. I hope more then anything that you get your BFP!

I'll definitely post a picture of my bracelet when I get it. In fact I could use some opinions on it. The bracelet will have a small heart charm that can be engraved. It's only small, so there's not a lot of room to engrave. Maybe just 1-2 short words. Originally I wanted to engrave "always on my heart", but that won't fit. Any thoughts on what else I can have engraved??

Keeping crossed for you, KarenH and LucyLake!

I forgot to tell you guys that 4 days before AF is due, I peed on a stick and got a BFN. I don't feel like I have much hope left for this month, to be honest...AF is due tomorrow. I am praying she stays away. Funny thing is that I've had NO indications of any kind that she is on her way...I had way more cramps 10 days ago.

Totally agree with you on the symptom spotting Karenh...can drive ya batty...I symptom spotted this time and was EXPECTING to see a BFP on the stick a few days ago...but nope...BFN. It hit me even harder then last time, which I didn't think was possible.

So anyways...I'll report back if AF comes tomorrow...or not. haha.

Hello ladies, I'm sorry I haven't been around for a while. I'm so busy with work, 14 hour days. Plus the little one and the charity I don't tend to stay awake long enough to do anything for myself!
I hope you are all doing OK, not had chance yet to catch up on everything I've missed. Maybe we need an update thread!
I did get a bfp this month but I'm not at all confident. My boobs seem to be getting less sore and in my successful pregnancies I've had a lot of sickness. Nothing before I mc in march and similar lack of other symptoms
Does anyone know what my chances are of getting a referral to an epu in the UK? Don't want to wait another six weeks and find out bad news at my scan

Kasey: I am not sure what to put for the ingraving. One option is to to AOMY to stand for Always on my heart, but no one else would know what that ment. I am not creative. Maybe someone else has an idea?

EarthMama: Sorry for your BFN. Hopefully it was just a little early.

Jess: Congrats on your BFP, sorry you aren’t comfortable with it yet. I hope everything turns out OK for you.

Congratulations some ladies make it sound like getting a referral is really easy but I have no idea how they manage it, we had some bleeding at 8 weeks and the only way we got a scan was because the private doctor who diagnosed out mc gave us the department number. I'm sure everything will be fine x x x

 

[jessshakespea]

Thank you george83 and thinking of all of you on the tww or still waiting for other things to iron out. I'm sorry to be so negative about a bfp, I was so confident at first. But it feels so much like last time. All the little things that worried me last time but I'd heard every preg can be different etc so I went with it. This time I just don't have that belief. Fingers crossed. Only time will tell I guess.
:baby dust: to you all xx

Well, my sister found out today that she is pregnant with her third. Yes, we have been trying that whole time for our first. She is going to surprise her husband on Father's Day, but she had to tell someone, so she told me. I am happy for her, but this was supposed to be me. I was supposed to tell my husband on Father's day that he is going to be a dad. I am pretty sure that won't be a possability, and she is also going to anounce it to the whole family that night at our dinner. Fun times!

I am so sorry, I know it must be tough. Just hang in there, and dont give up hope. How many dpo are you? Dont assume youre out just yet In the TTC buddy forum, a buddy of mine got faint positives [super faint] and a negative blood test and was convinced it was over. she even got a light period. then randomly she got a bfp and found out shes expecting TWINS like a week later!!!

i dont know if youre a religious person, but I always hold strong in prayer and faith in God. There is nothing that prayer cant fix, in my opinion----I have lived it. I have to remind myself that as well. Sometimes when I allow my mind to travel down the "omg what if I am actually pregnant again" path, I suddenly panic...the idea of something going wrong, and finding out that "wait, we thought it was progesterone, but its not..you mc again, so theres a much bigger problem!"--just the fear of "what if" puts my stomach in knots. I just dont want any more bad news. BUT you always have to remind yourself that there are things we cant control...we just have have to have faith. In my religion, we believe that God loves us [humans] 70 times more than a mother. so I remind myself of times that I was a child and I just WANTED something but my mother wouldnt let me have it because she saw the bigger picture, she knew what was good for me. And there are so many signs in the world...look at how diamonds are formed...coal is like super worthless and ugly, and it is exposed to EXTREME pressure underground and undergoes a change and becomes a diamond. sometimes difficulties arise because we are meant to be better..we are meant to attain higher character. And you know what, yes, your sister may be having her third, but different people have different paths. And know that your day will come...and when it does, you will have lived through so much heart ache and difficulty, but you will be a better and stronger person at the end. And ultimately, this makes for a much better mother and amazing role model.

CONGRATS on your BFP!! I know it's so hard to not be nervous. It's still VERY early for you to have many symptoms. Hope this is a sticky bean

God, that's so rough. I very much relate to that feeling of being happy for someone's preggo happiness but feeling absolutely miserable about it at the same time.

I told my hubby the other day, if "ONE MORE PERSON" in my family tells me they're pregnant, I'm gonna lose it!!!" And what happened less then a few hours later???? 2 people in my extended family break the news...they're expecting. The Universe has a sick sense of humor.

I'm so sorry Karen. Thats got to be tough. Thinking of you and hoping its tour turn very soon

 

[jessshakespea]

Thank you all for your positive thoughts.
Karen that must be so hard I hope so much that you can do the same on Saturday.

 

[EarthMama]

Well ladies...officially a day late for my period. Fingers crossed.

 

[Kat S]

Well ladies...officially a day late for my period. Fingers crossed.

Eeeeeeeeee! Oh I hope this is it! Are you testing today?

 

[EarthMama]

I can't bring myself to test again as I'd rather have AF come instead of seeing a bfn in case I'm not. I tested at 10dpo, got bfn and felt sad. I might have tested too early though? We'll see what tomorrow brings, I might give in and test, ha. The fact that AF didn't come today (when she's usually right on schedule) is encouraging.

No symptoms though, unless you count absolutely insane moodiness.

A friend of mine tested at 12 dpo and got a bfn, but then she realized she was a day late a few days later, tested again, and BFP. If you're late, and that's unusual, I think it's safe to test. But do what your gut tells you Good luck!!
