maddy- i know i'm already pushing the travel ins by not returning until mid 27th week, so if there are risks i may just be screwed all together. trying not to worry until we see the specialist, but i am aware of the uphill battle i have, thank you for your support and advice, i will do what you said!! And for you, stay positve, no symptoms isn't a bad sign!!! FX!!!
mum2q- thanks for your positivity! I like your chances this time too, and i think having that 'good feeling' is a great sign! FX for you too!!!

Hey 2mums, ohhh hope you can still travel. Many travel insurers won't insure you if you have any kind of 'risk profile' with your pregnancy at ALL. I deal with travel insurers frequently... def read the fine print, send them an email with any questions & keep the answers in case you need to refer back to them. And of course the insurance is still useful for non-pregnancy claims.
Okay Aunty Maddy's finished lecturing now!!!

Everyone sounds like they are having a nice weekend so far. I'm refusing to symptom spot since...we'll I just feel totally normal. So I assume nothing "conceptional" has happened in there again this month. Now I'm helping DH pack as he leaves early next week

I so so hope that no symptoms are your symptoms this month Hun!!!

Where is dh off to? He's going for a little while isn't he? I'll keep everything crossed for you Hun xxx

So glad to hear that squigley share some with me!

Poor old has hit a bit of a low point on the back of the end of that last cycle....have been charting for 4 mths now, and ntnp two before that and at this point, doing everything that we can, bd every day, or bd every other day, or smep, and and and....I am at the point now where it just feels like it isn't going to happen! Every time I feel like I've come up with a reason for it not happening, ie no ewcm etc, and then have found a way to fix it, I've been so hopeful, but to no avail!

Really makes you wonder....

Anyways, not trying to whack a downer on you! Just would love to share your positive vibes cos I could really use some!!

XXXX

feeling a bit like that myself... Cannot help wondering if I am just too old! Hugs to you love - let's do this, both of us, and soon! XO

Hi ladies, sorry have been MIA, haven't had chance to read all posts yet, but a message for 2mums...
About 4 weeks before I fell pregnant with Maggie my doctors discovered a large complex cyst on my right ovary (it was 5cm!) and appeared to be septated (had walls in it and solid masses!) obviously I was freaked out so I did some blood tests to rule out cancer etc. they all came back fine but I was referred to a specialist and more ultrasounds. By the time I got in to see the specialist I had already fallen pregnant. I went for an U/S at about 4weeks pg and the cyst had grown to 10cm because of all the progesterone in my system! It was all a bit touch and go and they weren't sure how it would interfere with the pregnancy, thankfully the cyst started to shrink as hormone levels settled but stayed at about 7cm and they were considering surgery during pregnancy so I went for regular ultrasounds (every 3-4weeks) for the whole pregnancy which was lovely, got to see my baby lots it didn't affect my pregnancy at all, remained stable and I was unlabelled as high risk pregnancy at 32weeks!
All went well and she was born perfectly healthy and there were no complications. I was put on the pill after she was born to try and shrink it & had another ultrasound when Maggie was 3months old which showed it was still 5cm so they decided to remove it a few weeks later! It turned out to be 2 very normal cysts that had fused together...anyway long story short try not to worry! You're in good hands and will be taken good care of! It is scary being labelled as high risk but a lot of the time it's just precautionary! praying your appointment with the specialist goes well...Im sure it will! Xx

Bahahahahahaha!!!

Hilarious!!!!!

 

[number2woohoo]

It's ok, he said "I'll clean it, don't worry". To which I replied "well if you want me to do it, we're throwing it out and getting another one".

 

[Trying2b2mums]

lucy- thank you for that! It did make me feel better, although I cant imagine the stress that it caused you and DH. I have been doing some reading and research and am also hoping it can shrink on its own, or just be easily taken care of. I'm scared of being deemed high risk as i wont get travel ins, or be allowed to travel at all and we'll have to cancel our christmas trip to see my family, that would devastate me! I'm more worried about the bleed/tear and really hoping we can get in to the see specialist soon. But on the upside, bc i have to look there, we'll have more scans to monitor so like you, we'll see the bub more and have a sense of whats going on. Thank you again for your explanation and words, really has calmed me a bit (ive been having some cramping tonight and really depressed, but i dont want to tell OH and worry her anymore)

none of you are too old, and im sure no one wants to hear it, but it took us over a year and more than 8 cycles to conceive, it does start to feel like a hopeless endeavour but you cant give up on your hearts desire!!

2woohoo- love it!!!

 

[Newbie32]

You poor thing 2mums xxx thinking of you and sending evil thoughts to that cyst to disappear! And the bleed as well xx

On the plus side, pleased that we will also get to see extra portraits of your pretty little bean!!!

Hope you feel better soon and that those cramps go away!

Mum 2 Quigley- I don't mind you asking questions I'm really easy going and love love love to chat so ask away lol

Ok the story of how I'm a Lesbian with 5 kids lol (the short version)
I grew up a Christian and in Tassie where at the time the LBTGI community wasn't like it is today I saw my 1st lesbian couple that I can remember when I was 15. I alway knew I wanted to be a mum as I'm a only child I think it made it worse, but I also knew from about 13 or 14 I liked girls but having children out weighed the need to be true to myself. So I choose to date men and I had my 1st 4 children between the ages on 16 and 21. Chloe turns 13 in 7 days, Caitlin is 11, Tyson is 9 and Tia is 71/2. I then came out when Tia was 6 months old (I had been single since a week before I found out I was pregnant with Tia) Summer is the youngest she turns 6 in October and she has a donor I was single (altho did date but no relationships)for 5 years until I met my current partner Michelle. We met just as friends as I was so sure I wanted to stay single until the kids were older but you can't help when you fall in love lol
Michelle was 37 when we met and had never wanted her own children but I told her I had always wanted 6 and I would really love another and as she loves me so much lol she agreed under the condition that I carried she hates the idea of being pregnant let alone giving birth.
We did consider using her eggs and I carry but decided it was alot of money on IVF for us both when I am so healthy and get pregnant so easily (well I use to) and also the age of her eggs was a risk so here we are me stuck on the 2ww and her "weighing" my boobs lol
Ok I think I have written a book so I'll leave it there lol But as you can see I am happy for people to ask question so everyone can ask me anything they like : )

Oh one question from me is there any Melbourne girls on this thread?

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Newbie & number 2 - I know it feels like that, for prob the last 4 months, I have cried a couple of days after AF has left the building....its kinda like thats when it hits me that i'm not preggy....again.... I feel like it will never happen again, I have a little pity party and then something snaps inside me and I get my second wind. I'm there at the moment. I get that it does take time, and this is just the start of me knowing exactly what my body is doing, so that's a positive for me, but I have spent the last year with irregular cycles, trying so hard to catch the egg, but never really knowing exactly when it will be around...then getting excited cos i may be late, but not actually knowing when my period is due.... so I have to get positive at some point, and I guess I just look at it like this is my chance again. I was feeling exactly like you a week ago, so hopefully you will both turn that corner.

number 2 - you're not too old, you're just probably feeling like you are taking forever as last one was so unplanned. you will get there!!! hahahahahaha sooooo funny about your DS!!!! hahaha

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

by the way, I have a question.......not sure if any of you have ever heard/seen anything like this before.... DSS is almost 3. this morning he did 2 funny poos...like little pellets... then this afternoon he did a really big one and it had some stringy gooey stuff in it. we didn't think too much of it, but then we just put him in the bath and he had a big spot of discharge on his nappy - the only thing i can compare it to is CM. (which I obviously know it isn't...hahahah) It was sort of a dark beige/yellowy colour & it had a few little red streaks, like membranes. DH's mum though it sounded like it was constipation, and he had just come good again, and the discharge was just his body's way of getting it normal again.... just though i;d see on the off chance that someone may have seen it before, cos we never have.

 

[Princessbec]

Mum 2 quigley- It sounds like maybe he is a little constipated? Sometime if things are a little backed up they can have "leakage" from around the blockage.
But thats just a thought best thing if you worried but can't get to a doc at the moment would be to ring nurse on call : )

 

[Newbie32]

Squigley I have no idea!!! Sorry Hun xx

Princess, Lisa is from melb, I can't remember off the top of my head if there are others!!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

ty so much, made me smile!!! I'm trying to pull myself out of this funk, as there is no reason worry until there is something [more] to worry about, I shall call on monday and beg and plead with them to get me in asap!!

mum2q- i feel sorry for you little [step] man, i hope his bum is feeling better soon and its nothing too serious, most of the time its not, since ive worked with 6weeks -3 yrs for about 15 years, i've seen a hell of lot, most of it i wish i hadnt, and normally with their poop, it all comes good, just had a bit of a thing for a day or two, something they ate, whether it was food or otherwise, i wouldnt worry too much, but keep an eye on his nappy [and loo, if he's using that too]

bec- thanks for sharing your story, how blessed to have 5 already!!! Are they excited/do they know about a number 6??

 

[Newbie32]

You girls rock. In fact, you're very quickly becoming my rocks. Starting to wonder how I made it few the first few months without you all xxx

Sadly pathetic and emotional tonight, can you tell? (albeit very happy with my rock garden)

 

[Trying2b2mums]

me too me too, and without this rock garden, as you so eloquently put it, i would be wallowing in self pity for probably days!!!
