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

[Bibliophile]

Looks like a baby now! Great pic!

Could be O, Honey. I did have one more positive OPK than usual & that was yesterday. But I'm wondering if it's another cyst that will show up when it's least convenient.

I definitely want to know gender. I don't think I coud stand not knowing for all that time. I don't have a preference. Just want everything to be ok.

NTAT - I can't believe your little one is ready 10 days late! I hope he comes on his own for the weekend. If not sounds like Monday we will have our new little addition to the thread!

Honey - great scan pic! Wow! How they change so much by 12 weeks! I am going to vote for boy too. I can't remember but do you want to know?

 

[Bibliophile]

I couldn't handle not knowing! But we're not planning on telling anyone else until baby arrives because we would really prefer to NOT have the poor thing told it already likes pink and dolls or blue and sports before it's even born.

Brittany - would your room set-up and decor give it away?

 

[wookie130]

It didn't with me...we knew we were having a girl, and we used a very gender neutral theme for our nursery. We did the room up in Skip Hop's Treetop Friends stuff, which could go either way gender-wise.

I can't wait to know the gender but will need to wait a few more weeks!

DH wants a boy because he wants to name him Maximus He claims a boy needs a manly name lol

 

[Bibliophile]

Nope, nursery will be bright colors or gray and an accent color that could go either way. I'm not going to tell people not to stereotype and then do it myself. We won't tell names either as that would give it away.

 

[wookie130]

Well, it doesn't get much more manly than Maximus, Honey! LOL!!!

 

[honeyprayer]

I know, right?? I think he's saying Maximus to bug me

 

[NewToAllThis]

Well this is it girls. My last evening at home before I become a mummy

Updating now in case I don't get chance tomorrow - although I hope I'll be able to pop in at some stage.

Thank you all for your support over the past years and months. I can't believe my ttc journey is finally coming to an end. I never thought I'd see the day.

I'm so happy that so many of you are not far behind me and for those still TTC - it WILL happen. It's been 4 long years for us, but I never gave up. Perseverance is the key. Do not let it beat you.

I'll be back with pictures of our long awaited rainbow - but until then thank you all

 

[Bibliophile]

Hope all goes smoothly for you! Good luck!

Aww NTAT what a beautiful post.

Good luck at your induction. I'm sure you'll do great! Can't wait to see your pics

 

[wookie130]

NTAT- Best of luck! It won't be long now, and you'll have that little boy out in the world, in your arms. And you're right. The key really IS to stick with it, and hang in there, even through the painful and difficult times, such as experiencing losses. We have to remain determined, and keep strong. Have a healthy and safe delivery, and I also look forward to squishy newborn pics!!!!

 

[Nicki123]

New I am so so excited for you! Come on Haribo, it's your time will be keeping my eyes peeled for updates

Hi girls!

Hi Jess!

My name is Rachael. I'd like to join you ladies on this thread. I had a m/c back in August 2011. I was only 5 weeks along. I passed everything naturally and honestly it was painful. Just recently i found out i'm pregnant again. August 19th, 2013 to be exact. It's been a roller coaster ride since then. I'm still pregnant right in this moment, but the news i hear later on today i'm sure isn't going to be good. I'm about 8ish weeks along. Dr confirmed pregnancy on 8/21 and my hcg was 90. I came in 5 days later on 8/26 for more blood work. Dr said i was having a blighted ovum because hcg was now 85. He said i will pass everything naturally. I had been spotting every day since August 10th. So i kinda knew something wasn't right, but was still hoping for miracles. A week went by and i went back to dr's on 9/4 to see what my new numbers were. They were 144. My dr was a bit puzzled and had me come back this morning for more blood work. I'll know this afternoon what new number is but i'm sure it has dropped.

It's so hard to have a m/c and TTC for 2 years only to get have another m/c. It's so unfair. I hope to make some great friends in this thread. Thank you for listening to my story.

Hi Rachael

Welcome to the thread! I hope you get positive news at your appointment today. Going through losses is very hard but you can always count on the support from all of us in this thread. It really is a great, caring and compassionate group of ladies.

 

[Bibliophile]

Hi, Rachel. Sorry to see you here! I do hope you're wrong & you get good news, but sometimes it's just something you know, isn't it? Have they done any testing to find out why you weren't conceiving? 2 years is definitely past the limit for them to start testing!

 

[NewToAllThis]

Induction process was started at 10:45 this morning. Not a lot happening at the moment.

Cervix favourable and about 2cm dilated. Had pessary but nothing much happened. Will be having another examination and pessary at 5:00pm, then waters broken after further 6 hours if nothing has happened.

Hi Racheal! Sorry to hear what you're going through right now. I hate to even bring this up, and do this only out of concern and not to worry you unnecessarily, but have you discussed the possibility of an ectopic -- slow rising hcg is one of the early warning signs? If I were you, I'd push for a scan right now!

Hopefully, though, the blip is just a disappearing twin and all will be right. This thread is inspirational because so many ladies have gotten their rainbow even when all seems lost.
