42.3 and trying for #4

[Sunshine14]

Hi Ladies xx hope ur all looking forward to xmas & quality family time xx

2plus I'm really praying u get a good result with the bloods on 29th -- u would have had a good few eggs for the sperm to aim for so fingers xd this is ur month hun xx & the new year sees u with that ++ sign hun xx

Mgirl I think u & I must be very close hun? - my LMP was 13/11/14 so I was approx 5 weeks on Thursday just gone -- that is fab they did ur bloods & they are so high that is a very good sign hun xx they don't do bloods here unless u go private & I have been too busy to even think of that -- I have been stressing about using cb digis as did one last Sunday & it said 1-2 weeks & again on Thursday I got 1-2 weeks when shud have been at least 2-3 weeks! so was panicking about no progression but I think really the only way to tell now is the scan so have to wait until 30th for that!!

Charlie thinking of u hun - hope ur ok - we are all praying ur scan went ok xxxxxxxxxx

Maxxi hope ur well did u say ur going to wait another month now hun? So start it in January? Are you away over christmas babe with the time difference?

Fandabby hope ur well hun xxx

Hi ladies just a quick update - very excited just got 2-3 weeks on the cb digi! Next hurdle is to find a hb!!!

Happy weekend ladies xx

 

[2plus1more]

Sounds like perfect progression to me Sunshine! You must be relieved to get some reassurance.

Thanks for all the good thoughts everyone. It's tough to stay positive, but I'm trying!

 

[marathongirl]

Sunshine- my last af was 11/15 so two days behind you. I would say I am 5 weeks or so today. Yes the bloods they always order for me as I've had 4 early losses now. I have to say I'm really glad that they didn't send me back. Usually I go for a second set 48 hours later but it's so stressful if you don't see the numbers you want to see. I will just wait as you for the first us. Fx'd I make it that far!!
2plus1- stay positive!!! I have a good feeling for you!

 

[Sunshine14]

HI Ladies just a quick post to say Happy Christmas to you all xx hope you all have a lovely relaxing peaceful time xxx

2plus I have everything xd for the 29th hun - are you feeling any symptoms at all?

Charlie hope ur ok hun xx

Mgirl how u doing? Hope ur well hun - are you feeling many symptoms yet?

Fandabby hope ur all set for first christmas with ur little one xx

Afm - scan in 6 days & we managed to get a babysitter so at least I don't have to go on my own like last time when I had the missed miscarriage, which was pretty horrid going on my own. I feel like I'm counting down two lots of sleepies - 1 for Xmas & 1 for the scan lol

 

[marathongirl]

Merry Christmas to everyone!! It's exciting thinking about kids faces when opening presents.
Sunshine- not long now for you!! Are you feeling any symptoms?! Can't wait for you to hear a heartbeat at your scan!
2plus1- everything crossed for you! If you haven't tested you are awesome! Here's to an early New Years present for you- a BFP!!
AFM- feeling really tired and sore boobs. I'm still nursing my 20 month old and nipples are quite tender. Also taking progesterone so hard to say what is what?

 

[2plus1more]

Hi ladies! So I started bleeding yesterday which gave me quite a surprise since it was only a 10 day luteal phase. It's usually at least 12 days so must be something with the clomid?! I'm hoping to get in to see the doctor either tomorrow or Saturday so that we can begin the next cycle. Yesterday was tough. DH was less than supportive, but what are you going to do?! We're having a great Christmas though and I get such joy from watching the excitement in my kids' faces.

Merry Christmas and hoping for peace and joy to all the girls on this thread!

 

[marathongirl]

Awwww so sorry 2plus1. I'm glad you are still enjoying Christmas. Just think next year you may have another little squish to love and cuddle. Keep the hope alive!!

 

[Sunshine14]

Hi Ladies glad you all had a lovely Christmas -- mine was just perfect with my honey and the kiddies & no matter what happens I am so thankful for my beautiful children xx

2Plus sorry to hear the witch got u hun xx if ur LP is usually longer have u thought that it might actually have been a chemical pg? - one that tried to implant but something went wrong?? I had one of those that made af come early & the only way I knew was becasue I tested early! I know u don't like to test early but if ur planning on doing a few more IUI's it might prove helpful in learning more about ur body - only a thought hun - u could buy cheapie tests off the internet & test for hcg to leave if ur doing a trigger & then test to see if any sign of a + .... anyways hope you get some answers at the doctors & I have everything crossed for u that 2015 is ur year for a sticky, healthy bean xxxxx

Mgirl - I have exactly the same symptoms - really sore massive boobs, very tired & sorry for tmi but constipation (already!!) I have been taking progesterone as well and I have been soo moody - one minute really furious at nothing & the next really tearful with happiness - my poor honey is really bearing the brunt of it! I cannot wait to stop the progesterone!! Only 4 more sleepies til the scan & I have been googling like crazy on fetal hb rates -- I'm half expecting a good hb & half expecting another missed miscarriage -- it's really hard cos I want to have hope but just feel like I should brace myself for the worst. Everytime I have twinges or slightly cramping (only v occasionally) I'm convinced there's no baby growing - really irrational but I think the progesterone is making me slightly nuts! Anyway hopefully on Tuesday I will be put out of my misery either way ...... the worse thing for me that could happen is they can't assess viability & I have to go back as that is what happened last time! I am hoping that at 6 weeks 5 days on Tuesday they should see enough to make a judgement!!!????? Anyway hun sorry for my rambling -- how are you doing? Yu must be 6 weeks tomorrow right?

Charlie whatever is going on with you I hope you had a peaceful and relaxing Christmas and you are ok hun xxxx sending you big hugs xxxxxx

Fandabby hope ur first Christmas with Mistique was fab xx

 

[marathongirl]

Sunshine- I'm with you. I'm so thankful for my kids that whatever happens is meant to happen. I'm fully prepared as well for it to be a mmc. Everyday is very up and down with my feelings all over the place. One minute I'm convinced that all will be fine the next convinced that they won't find a baby. My scan is Jan 7 so still many days. The days are going quickly with Christmas though.
So excited for you to get good news Sunshine. How does your hubby feel? We rarely even mention the fact that I'm pregnant. The only difference is that I'm moody as hell and I've cut my running way down.
Happy New Years Ladies! I hope 2015 brings all that we hope for!!!

Hi ladies and congratulations Marathongirl!! Very happy for 2 BFPs here! Hoping for sticky beans here and some lovely rainbow babies.

Sorry 2plus for early AF, I understand how disappointing that can be. Hoping all is better next cycle.

Thing here are ok. I am up and down. Scan happened now almost 2 weeks ago. The only problem identified was a hole in the heart, a VSD, so a hole in the septum between the ventricles,very common in T18 babies. Other than that nothing else so far. I was forewarned of risk of pre eclampsia which scared my OH! If that does happened we will have no choice but to end the pregnancy. So I am having regular BP checks and wee dips to monitor me for that. I also met my obstetrician who is very lovely and has given me open access to his clinics which is great. I have my next scan on 22nd Jan. I don't know a part of me just wants to miscarry and have nature do it's thing that way, another part of me doesn't. I guess at the end of the day I just want a healthy baby which I am not going to have and I am not sure ever will which when I think about it devastates me, but I try not to think of it and just crack on with things, what else can you do??!

Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and wishing you all a happy new year!

Oh and good luck in your scan Sunshine.

 

[marathongirl]

Charlie- thank you. I appreciate it! Of course it's a long road to a healthy baby but one step at a time. For now I will try my best to be happy I'm pregnant.
I'm just so impressed with how you are handling things with your pregnancy. You are amazing! We are all here for you. Please stay strong and keep us updated.

 

[2plus1more]

Good to hear from you Charlie. You'll continue to be in my thoughts for both strength and good health. I'm glad you feel comfortable with your health care provider.

Thanks for the support everyone. We've already taken off with the next cycle. Im in the middle of taking my clomid. I saw the MD a couple days ago and he told me he has some "tricks up his sleeve" if this cycle doesn't work. I'm really glad I haven't had any side effects from the meds yet. That would be tough as I'm often alone with the kids and would hate to be emotional or have horrible headaches.

I'm hoping to hear good news about some rainbow babies soon! Crossing every toe and finger for you Sunshine and Marathon.

 

[marathongirl]

2plus1- thank you. Glad you have moved on to next cycle. It all sounds great to me and how reassuring to have your doctor so positive!!!
Sunshine- fx'd for you tomorrow for your scan! Here's to a healthy bean with a hb!!

 

[fandabby]

Good luck tomorrow sunshine, hope u have a great scan and see the wee heart beat. Deep breathes before you go in.

Marathongirl how you feeling?
2plus, great your doc is positive and has ideas. You'll be seeing those positive lines soon.

2015 is going to be a fertile year for succesful healthy pregnancies.

Just a quick visit, lady M has chest infection and recovering nicely but left her fractious bless her.

If I dont get chance happy new year everyone.

Charlie, thinking of you too dear.

 

[Sunshine14]

Hi Ladies thanks for your kind wishes for the scan. It proved 'inconclusive' there is no obvious intruterine pregnancy but there is a mass next to my right ovary so they think it is probably an ectopic pregnancy. Have no bleeding and no pain so had to have bloods taken today and go back new years day to get them measured again. I was wondering why I couldn't get past 2-3 weeks on the cb digis! Really gutted and just fed up- 5 PG's now in the past year and nothing to show for all the crazy PG hormones & weight gain ........

Mgirl I'm praying u have a sticky bean next week sweetie - have everything crossed that u get a fantastic outcome hun xx

Hope everyone else is well xxx

 

[2plus1more]

I am so sorry Sunshine. No words can express my sadness for you. My heart just fell when I read your words. Take some time for yourself. Since the scan was inconclusive, did they give you any hope? I know you mentioned that your DH was going to try to make the scan so I hope you were not alone. Update us when you can and take it easy.

 

[2plus1more]

I wanted to add one more thing. Since your levels did increase appropriately in the beginning, I'm willing to bet it was a good embryo. Just got lost on it's way. I hope that doesn't make you feel any worse off because that's not my intention.

 

[fandabby]

Sunshine, as 2plus1 said my heart also dropped reading your post.
Are you sure on your dates could you be earlier which is why nothing uterine yet? was it a tummy scan or VScan, that can also make a difference.

Sending big hugs to you....

 

[marathongirl]

Sunshine I'm just feeling so sad for you. I was just feeling so good about this one for you. I just am an optimist I guess? I know we all have a golden egg but why is it so hard to catch?
Thank you for your well wishes. I am feeling very mixed and not overly confident. I will let you know how it goes in a week from now. It still seems so far away.
I wish everyone a very Happy New Year and of course best wishes for 2015!!!!!
