Disco Derail! - TTCAL/PAL Discussion and Support!

Aww thank you so much I think I'll need it and yeah your right the thought of TTC again is so scary.
 
Lucy, for what it's worth I say try again, the chromosome results do take a while to come back (we had ours done privately and it was about 4 weeks). Have they said everything is normal? What about NK cells, have you been tested for those? It is such a personal thing as to when to try again, I think you have to feel strong enough emotionally that you could cope with the anxieties and frustrations which are naturally going to be there when you try again. When we got our results I was so hoping they would say there was nothing wrong, then when I found out there was (but treatable) I was relieved because I thought there was something we could do, but now (in retrospect) I wish there had been nothing! So it is good news for you.

It's never easy hun as you know after the first loss, but you have every reason to believe that the next time all will be well, especially as you know you have no medical reasons which are causing them.

How does Steve feel about things? Is he keen to try now, I know the fact that M was so eager that it definitely made me more positive (though secretly I think if he hadn't of been I would have been quite relieved, in that I could do with some time out), plus my mom today said to me 'I hope you're not trying again till next year'! ooops I had to lie and say yes we have put things on hold.

Hearty - I'm sure you're letters were spot on, and hopefully they will be able to manage the situation now that they are well informed. Hope you all have a lovely time, I've always envied thanksgiving, all that mash potato (you do have mash don't you - or is that only in the movies!?)

Hi ya'll

Im really busy with my course and I started therapy tonight (bloody psychotherapist has gone stratospheric on me and launched first session with confrontation and started pushing me really forcefully) - and had a confrontational week with an argument with a colleague and another student - i got a rose quartz for relationship harmony a couple of weeks ago as well.

I havent caught up and wont have time to properly catch up, but saw that Vic has had a terrible time

Vic - Im so sorry my lovely, what a complete and utter tragedy. Please take good care of yourself, and i think its a lovely idea to have some time in the national park to say goodbye. xx

Dawny, is that a bfp i see?? congrats!!

Luce, glad your results look normal, results are a bummer whatever happens, if they are normal, why the fuck is it happening?? if they show problems, fuck, theres a problem. No good answers whatever happens, but i hope that the fs has some answers

Im really sorry i havent caught up with whats happening for everyone - i hope theres good news for others as well as dawny that ive missed

kiss kiss
 
Aww! Sorry its been rough, Nato! I'm glad to see you though! :hugs:

I'm about off girls... I'll be available on my phone, FB, and checking in here at least nightly!
 
Happy Thanksgiving, Megg. Where are you headed?

Hi, Nato. Nice to hear from you, but sorry to hear you've had a crappy week. :hugs:

Lucy, I hope you aren't too worried about the chromosone tests given how unlikely an abnormality would be, but I understand your fears. :hugs:

I'm sipping a gingerbread latte from Starbucks and listening to the Glee Christmas album. :) To me Thanksgiving starts the 'holiday' season so I'm trying to get festive. I can't help but think about seeing my cousin who is due in 5 days, though. Such mixed emotions! She may not attend the family gathering as she's so pregnant, but we'll see. And then at Christmas there will be a one month old baby there. I'm sure that will bring mixed emotions too! I'm not jealous of her--it took her over a year of TTC and IUI--but as what would be my due date approaches, seeing a newborn will be a bit raw.
 
:hugs: Allie

It's my due date tomorrow. Feeling really sad. I was so hopeful at the start of this yr, and was even hopeful after my mc that it would happen again quickly.
Now it just seems like I've got a load of problems :cry:
 
Sorry Sugar :hugs:

Hi back at ya Hearty :wave:

No news as usual here. Been painting all day.

Hope everyone has a great turkey day!
 
Hi girls,

:hug: to all of you, sounds like its been frustrating for some of you. GL with the upcoming appointments to all those soon... Sass.... woohoo for next scan babe. God thatd flown. I have chills for you Megg, so close now.

I am not sure if there are any new BFP's, congrats if there are.

I hate that I cant catch up, I keep reading though, so know that I am reading how you are all doing. :hug:

AFM, 15DPO and neg test yetserday. Never tested today. Couldnt be bothered. I have a test for a couple of days time. To be honest its the first month I have had no pregger symptoms since the mc so I am glad my body seems on track. I am still eating chillis and chilli sauce like its butter!!! But could just be all the running round. No symptoms to talk of as such. Not had time to think about it.

We opened the day we took the pub on, joy of being with a holding company. It really is doing great. I love it.

I hope you all know I think of you, when we get in to more of a routine I will be online more. I promise. Lots of love.xxxx
 
:hugs: Mone

I'm so sorry to hear your news Vicky, truly tragic. :hugs:

Dawny.... this IS gonna be your :bfp: WOOP WOOP!!!
 
Thanks sugar. I know exactly what you mean! I was super hopeful, even after my mc, that it would happen quickly again. It's taken some adjusting to the fact that my body isn't cooperating at the moment.

Hey, CJ! I'm happy to hear the pub is doing well. Wow, you jumped right in there. That's awesome.

Happy Thanksgiving to you, too, Dawn! And to everyone else! :hugs:
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all my girls! :hugs:

I'm in southern IL... Its a little town that no one has ever heard of. If you want to see, put 62951 into Google! :) LOL

That would definitely bring up mixed emotions. I'm sure it will be hard, but its really difficult to be sad whilst snuggling a newborn. So, I don't know. Maybe that's just me. No matter how much I want one of my own and how much my heart hurts without my babies... I can't help but be in heaven when I snuggle a new baby... even if its not mine to keep! When is your due date? I'll be sure to light a candle for you and your angel!

:hugs: Allie

Now it just seems like I've got a load of problems :cry:

I know exactly how you feel. I was sure I'd have a baby in my arms by this Christmas... and now I'll barely even get a last shot at it before Christmas. :hugs: I wish I could make it better. Just remember that none of this will matter nearly as much when we do have our babies! I'll light a candle for you and your angel tomorrow!

Sounds promising still, CJ! :hugs: I hope it turns BFP for you! I like the sound of the chills for me! I hope they're good chills rather than bad! I'll take them though! :)


It seems that a lot of us have our due dates grouped. Mine is Saturday... well, my 2nd one. The first is one was back in June on Father's Day. This one is 2 days after Thanksgiving. It coincides as the day I start my stims too. So, I've decided to buy something for the baby on Saturday as a tribute to the little one I lost and a welcome gift to the one I hope to be creating very soon. I think it will be a fine sense of closure on both of my losses and help usher in a new wave of good. I'll also have a candle burning that night. Sounds like my candles are going to get a good workout!

On a separate note... Why couldn't I be one of the girls who doesn't get a proper AF whilst taking the Lupron? This is quite proper and a bit crampier than I'd like it to be! :( I'm not in pain, per say... but I'm not comfortable! Trying to cherish every moment of my hopefully last period until 2012! Oh, please... Oh, please... Oh, please!
 
Happy thanksgiving to the americans! So annoying, my husband works for a big american bank so doesn't get UK bank holidays off, yet he doesn't get American holidays off either! grr!!

Allie - there's a glee xmas album?!?!?! Damn my UK itunes not letting me download!

Megg - good luck, it's so close now!

I've been feeling like a hormonal angry woman and people at work are starting to look scared of me as I've been hysterical this morning because I came in after my day off to a load of shit. Finding it difficult to sleep at night now which probably isn't helping. I hope the baby's ok in there, I wish it could let me know by giving me proper movement!
 
Hey all and Happy Thanksgiving to all you US ladies! :hugs:

Sorry i have been a bit absent and gotten horribly behind with everyone. Have internet problems at home and not been at work the start of the week due to some more bleeding. Not to worry though i had a scan Tuesday and everything is fine in there. Also been busy with doggy TTC which is just as hard as people TTC it seems!

Not really going to be able to read all the posts over the last few days so will do my best to catch up with everyone.

Vicky - So so sorry to hear about your friend, my heart goes out to you guys and his family xxx

Megg - Fingers crossed this is the last visit from the :witch: for a long while xxx

You should have more regular movement in the next 2-4 weeks! :hugs: I'm sure all is well!

I hope! :)

Glad all is well. Do they know what's causing the bleed?
 
Sugar I'm thinking about you today. :hugs:

Allie you too. You and I both have to be around pregnant women. :hugs:

Nato sounds like a tough week. I'm just glad you are still around and ok. I had a peek at your chart. 9 dpo. Yay!

CJ welcome back! You sound wonderful. I hope you see a BFP but it sounds like you would still be in good spirits even if you didn't.

Megg I'm going to google the zip code to see where you are. I'm so psyched that you start stimming on Saturday. Let's give thanks for that!

Dazed are you painting an art piece or a room?

Mone, we definitely do mashed potatoes. They are almost as important as the turkey!

Raz good to see you. Glad the scan went well. I hope the bleeding stops.

Hi Luce and Cesca and everyone else. I'm typing from my phone so sorry if I missed someone.

AFM, well I should be happy that I got my peak on CD 16, but there is no way I'm going to be able to BD today. I knew I'd get it on Thanksgiving! We did do it last night and will do it tomorrow. I just have to pray that is enough. My OPKs were almost positive yesterday so I bet I got the LH surge when I was sleeping. Well if nothing else, Femara is a miracle worker. No side effects except for lots of ewcm and early ovulation! How can I complain? The best $10 I ever spent.

I got some lovely responses from Tim's cousins to my email. After I get my turkey in the oven and make my stuffing I'll post it all in case you feel like reading. Ok it's 6:45 am and I'm off to make my stuffing now.
 
Happy Thanksgiving to all you lovely ladies and your family's who are celebrating.

Sugar sending :hugs: and lots of love to you I know how hard it can be be kind to yourself.

Allie thinking of you today :hugs:

Nato sorry you've been having a hard time but it is good to see you back missed you.

Raz sorry to hear about the bleeding hope it stops and you dont get anymore but :happydance: to everything being alright.

Megg so exicted for you hope you have a great day

Amanda I will be thinking about you today so pleased to hear you got a good response from your cousins and :happydance: to peak is there no way you and tim can sneak of :winkwink: if not I'm sure you will be covered as you bd yesterday and will do tomorrow. The meds are doing the job which is fantastic news and hope this is your month.

I want roast turkey with all the trimmings and really fancy mash now as well may have to change mt plans for dinner.

:hugs:
 
Hi girlies!
I have been in and out these days so I am sorry for not writing! So much has happened to you all!
First of all, I am so sorry Vicky for losing your friend. I can't even imagine the shock.
Oh Amanda...ugh. Thanksgiving might be a challenge for you, but I am glad you let them know about your situation beforehand. Reading about your gourmet menu made my mouth water though! And yay for early ovulation!
Sorry to everyone who has confusing and/or inconclusive blood results. Sugar, I hope you can get the proper tests you need without having spend tons of money and waiting forever!
I am so excited for your journey Megg! I watched that video too and I so hope you can be spokewoman for them soon too!

I'll try to stay more up to date with everyone else soon!
Our apartment went on the market today! If anyone is interested in seeing how we "staged" our pictures, check it out here: https://www.finn.no/finn/realestate...891&sid=sid/2010/11/25/16/xz0511290697391947y

Our offer was accepted on our new place today too! We take over January 4. What kind of dumbass tries to move in January in Norway? I think we're stupid.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Man what I wouldn't give to be with my family eating wonderful food....

Hiya Amy! Happy Thanksgiving. :hugs: Do you have your hubby celebrate with you over there? We always celebrated Thanksgiving when I lived in the UK, though it's not the same. Wow, both of those houses are just beautiful. Very Scandinavian chic! And holy bathroom space. You could do cartwheels in that bathroom.

Lucy, it sounds like you're going to have a Thanksgiving dinner as well. :)

Well, we aren't going to my big family Thanksgiving anymore. I honestly wouldn't have minded seeing my pregnant cousin, though. I think I conveyed that poorly...it was more the reminder of my due date that would niggle at me a bit. In any case, my STUPID parents are fighting again, so Alex and I are playing peacekeeper and having them over here, just the four of us. Luckily we have all of the food here as we bought a bunch in case there was the suspected blizzard. I'm going to try to make it a good day, though. They've never ever fought on Thanksgiving in all 26 years I've been around. Good grief people! :dohh:
