A group for TTC#1 and had more than one loss?

[monro84]

A late Merry Christmas to everyone.

Nicki--Happy Bleated Birthday!!

mommylov- Don't worry you will get your sticky babys soon.

NTAT--Lines and digital looking great are you able to get a beta test? I got everything crossed and sending some sticky dust your way I think I can spair some now.

Emme-- Wow congrats on gettting married. that was so sweet of your DH to say that.

Lexi --Wow you might have a little new years baby in there.

I could ask for betas but with it being over Christmas, I haven't done it.

Kind of wish I had now to be honest. Thanks for the sticky dust, I need a couple of bucket loads I reckon.

Hope you and everyone had a great Christmas. I've been out of action for a bit as I dropped my new iPhone down the toilet on Christmas Eve and its pooped. Still working at the moment but the screen is goosed. Off to the Apple shop for a new one this weekend - at a considerable cost as I didn't update my insurance details when I bought this phone

 

[monro84]

Oh no so sorry about your phone I would die if something like that happened to mine b/c I have no internet except for my phone where I live. I really don't want to pay the $60 more for it. I have heard they are pretty ruged I see Iphones with cracked screens all the times and still work.

Are you planning on a beta after the holidays like beginning of yr?

 

[Emmediva]

Lexi, where you dilated or effaced at all? How are you feeling?

NTAT, sending you tons of sticky baby sorry to hear about your iPhone, try turning it off and sticking it in a bag of rice for 24hrs. I tried this when I dropped mine down the toilet and it worked, screen was fine after. I hope it works for you too.

AFM, I went to the doctor yesterday and am 1cm dilated, 50% effaced and baby is engaged I'm happy to be progressing since last week at my 35 week checkup my cervix was hard and tightly closed. I'm hoping he comes soon, between 1-2 more weeks would be perfect. He weighed 6.10lbs last week so can you imagine if he stays in till 40 weeks!!?!

Hi everyone hope you had a lovely xmas, quick update....

Due date today and no chance baby will be coming, infact probably wont be here this year!

Saw midwife yest she attempted a stretch and sweep, but said cervix is tightly closed and no point cos she will only hurt me. She said babies head needs to drop further, she put 3/5ths now. Told me to do lots of walking and get on ball. Well today i walked for an hour and a half and another hour on ball. Everything aches, my back, groin, hips... Starting to feel fed up now and everything is aching and a mission. Am going to hospital tom as midwife on hols, for someone else to try s & s again but i dont see how much it will have changed in 2 days. Next midwife appointment is next thur when she will look at booking induction.

As i left she said see you next week...... yeah ill definitely see you next week! So looks like this baby will be keeping me waiting some time yet!

Emme you are doing much better than me!!!

 

[Emmediva]

Aww Lexi sorry to hear you are aching so much, I understand Have you tried and also Evening Primrose capsules? I've been told they help soften the cervix, you can do them vaginally or orally. I may try to do them orally for now but I've had more period like cramping today, about 15 minutes apart I think, haven't timed them but a friend told me to start timing them cause that's what contractions feel like I dunno LOL. I've been sitting at the corner edge of my bed at night and bouncing I haven't really stopped having for more than 2 weeks at a time though so that may have helped me progress? I'm gonna try to convice the hubby to dtd this weekend, hopefully he cooperates, kinda doubtful since he knows I'm dilated now maybe I shouldn't have told him that... I've also heard spicy food helps, and well me being hispanic, I always eat spicy foods I hope you go natural hun, sending you lots of dilation and effacing come on baby, your mommy is ready to meet you.

 

[lexi374]

Thanks hun, no we havent been dtd, might have to try that.

I did actually buy some epo a few weeks ago but after reading lots i wasnt 100% sure about using them, probably a bit late now anyway.

Will see what they say tomorrow. Sounds like you are going to go early. x

 

[lexi374]

Another failed sweep head still too high!

She's never coming out!

Curry tonight.

Next appointment thursday.

I couldnt get pregnant, i couldnt stay pregnant and now she doesnt want to leave! Lol.

Hope everyone else is well x

 

[Emmediva]

Aww sorry to hear it failed she's too comfy in there, sweet baby is snug. I've had more discharge today no mucous plug though at least I think? I took an evening primrose capsule around 2pm and just started getting. Some light cramps now so not sure if it's from the pill or just my body?

 

[wookie130]

Just patiently waiting for either Lexi or Emme to begin labor!!!

 

[Sooperhans]

Hello my lovelies, just checking in, lovely news ntat!! Really really pleased for you and hope you can get some bloods done soon. Your tests do look great though, yay.

I hope everyone has had a lovely Christmas, happy birthday Nicki! X

Lexi it's so exciting for you and I'm sure it will all kick in for you...just a few more days and you'll have your beautiful girl. All the luck in the world, I cannot wait to hear your news and hoping for a smooth running labour xx

Same for Emme and your lovely boy...can't wait to hear your news, I feel like I know your journeys and I'm rooting for you both xx

Wookie how are you? And Monro? And everyon else? Beach, Thurl, Mommylov, hopeful, cookie, sarl....Xxx

Afm I've had an awful chest infection in the lead up and during Christmas, it's still lingering now. I had 7 days of antibiotics and I think there was laryngitis thrown in as I couldn't speak...urgh sounded awful! Thankfully that has come back!

I've had a few thoughtful moments about TTC and how the first loss started 13th Dec, another landmark in time that I won't forget. I just want it to happen soon........it feels like the longest wait. Literally announcements left right and centre from everyone around me, sigh. Hopefully in Jan. We relaxed a bit this month but still dtd like 4/5 times in the days that mattered. So we'll see.....

Lots of TTC, dust and labour luck! Xxx

 

[Sooperhans]

Literally as soon as I had posted this, I went to the loo and there's pink spotting...together with my sore boobs, I can feel my hopes rising. Argh I want it to be true! I have just over a week left of the old 2ww.....hmmmmmm x

 

[lexi374]

Keeping my fx for you hun, i have been thinking about you as hadnt heard in a while, sorry you have felt so crappy xx

 

[Sooperhans]

Thanks hun x I might need to get more antibiotics, my chest still hasn't cleared. If the best has happened, they say that amoxicillin is ok to take even when pregnant....I've been thinking about you too and your little one about to arrive. Come on baby girl! xx

 

[NewToAllThis]

Freaking out, started spotting brown

I've heard it could be the progesterone but I am panicking. Got mild cramps too (but had those all through so far.

I really can't face another loss

 

[Sooperhans]

Nooooo....sorry you are spotting But brown is better than red, I hope it stays that way and it could totally be the progesterone. Maybe try not to put it too far in if you are using a suppository? Hope you are ok and try not to panic. Let us know how you get on, ring the docs tomo perhaps xxx

 

[thurl30]

Hi ya ladies :wave: Hope you all had a lovely christmas (had to use that smiley once more this year )

Lexi not long now, so so excited for you I can't believe it's been 40 weeks!! It doesn't feel long ago you got your bfp, your bump pic is fabulous fingers and toes crossed she comes really soon

NTAT sorry to hear your going through all these scares, I don't know much about progresterone but I know many ladies who have lots of spotting with it so that could totally be why it's happening, are you going to speak to the docs at all for beta's?

Emme.. C'mon!!! Not long now

Wookie you're nearly in to single figures

Soop it's great to hear from you, I have been wondering how you are Praying 2013 is our lucky year, your spotting is such a positive sign I've got everything crossed

Beach I hope you're doing ok too

 

[Emmediva]

Sooper, lots of luck to you! I've heard several people getting preggo while taking antibiotics so hopefully that's your case!!

NTAT, I know how you feel hun, sending you tons of positive thoughts. I hope it's just old blood and all is ok. Make sure you put your feet up, rest and drink lots of water. With this baby, I had spotting at 7 weeks but it was pink/red, then at 11weeks I bled enough for a pad, and at 13 weeks again had spotting. So I'm praying all is ok and you just have a friable cervix like I had

Thurl, thanks hope your Christmas was wonderful and I'm with you on praying 2013 will bring rainbow baby's to this thread

Hope everyone is doing good and had a good Christmas

AFM, I am just waiting as patiently as possible, I'm still cramping off and on but nothing major. I hope it means I'm dilating more, I can't wait till Thursdays appointment to find out. I took another capsule of Evening Primrose oil today so hopefully it will help ripen my cervix. I really don't want to get induced and if baby is as big as they say he is I'm worried they will want to once I hit 38 weeks. So I need this to hurry up lol. I DTD today so hoping the semen help my cervix as well.

 

[Sooperhans]

Hey, so the spotting was an early af, it started properly today. Ffs

2012 can do one, as far as I'm concerned! Starting 2nd round of antibiotics, chest infection hasn't gone. Bleh x

 

[Emmediva]

Sooper, sorry to hear that, I was hoping hard for you I'm hoping 2013 is the year for everyone to get their rainbows.
