[sparklexox]

Grrrrrrrrrrr!!


Can some please explain how to pop july beach bumps and bump buddies to my screen. Am obviously doing it wrong.

 

[DragonMummy]

sparkle have you picked which code you want? copy it. Then go into the user cp at the top left of page then click edit signature

when you get the sig text box up, click the icon above it which is a yellow box with a mountain and a sun on it (that looks a bit like an envelope!) then paste the link in the little box it brings up. before you enter it, remove ALL of the spaces. Raz had to put spaces in otherwise she couldn't get the codes on you'd just get pictures! so where it says [ IMG ], take the spaces out. Then enter it and it should work if you go to preview xxx

This thread is jumping too fast for me to keep up. So I will just post now and read back later.

Its still extremely early to be here, but I was impatient so I tested. I am 3 weeks 4 days right now, so I haven't even passed my expected period date. So I refuse to get even a little excited until I am past that.

I had a light positive on a First Response yesterday at 10DPO. This prompted a call to my OBGYN who sent me for blood work. It was 22.4 yesterday, which is okay I think since I am still so early.

There is no short story on me really. I'm 29, hubby is 37. I am currently on my 8th confirmed pregnancy

Lost my first one at 12 weeks, in Oct 2002. Lost another one at 8 weeks in July 2003. Delivered my son Greg in March 2004; he was 15 weeks early and stayed in the NICU till 3 weeks after his due date. Lost my 4th pregnancy on March 13 2007, was 11 weeks. Lost my 5ht pregnancy, a little boy, at 13.5 weeks in August 2007. Lost an early pregnancy in July 2009.

And then there is Devon....


All of my prior losses required D&C's or D&E's as my body was not miscarrying them naturally. Some even required a second D&C due to surgical error. I have also had a D&C for what was thought to be a large uterine cyst, but there was nothing there, and I needed one 4 weeks after I delivered Devon. All total, I think I have had 8 D&Cs. It is believed that I may have suffered from a slightly weakened cervix, but due to all of the surgeries, my cervix is completely incompetant now. It is suspected that the majority of the losses were because of undiagnosed blood clotting problems.

Devon was my first pregnancy since everything was 'figured' out. She was due Dec 3, although I was to be induced Nov 18th. My pregnancy with her was perfect. She was a Clomid baby. I used Prometrium suppositories, baby aspirin, Fragmin injections, and Metformin. I had a transvaginal cerclage at 14 weeks with her. Everything was perfect. At the end of July, my OB decided to do her first ever digital vaginal examination on me as she was leaving on holidays and wanted to make sure I would be fine while she was gone. She also did a very extensive internal ultrasound. I left her hospital feeling very sore and uncomfortable. Within 2 days I developed symptoms of an infection at the site of my stiches. It was August long weekend, so I tried to wait it out thinking I could wait til Tuesday. I ended up going in to the ER on Sunday night. My urine while blood count was slightly elevated. It was determined if I did have an infection, they could wait for cultures to come back. Well, long story short, I started having contractions by the Tuesday. Went to Dr, he didn't believe me. Sent me for an ultrasound the next day. Devon was fine and cervix was closed. Still didn't believe I was in labour though, and sent me home on Tylenol. I started bleeding in the night and ended up in the ER at 5AM. He agreed now that I did have an infection and started me on antibiotics; didn't believe I was in labour. He ended up sending me home on T3's and sleeping pills. I went to the hospital 2 more times that day. They finally determined that yes I was having contractions, but they thought they were unproductive. They weren't. I was shipped to Vancouver, via Williams Lake, the next day. I was 23 weeks 1 day along. My contractions were stopped initially, but the labour was too progressed and I dilated anyways, and tore through my stitch. Devon was delivered, alive, on August 7, 2010, at 2:56AM. She died in my arms about 40 minutes later. Post Mortem on the placenta showed a severe infection was present.

It is 13 weeks today since this happened. I sometimes have issues getting pregnant which is why we decided to try again so quickly; there is a myth you are more fertile after a delivery or miscarriage. This was my first cycle since having Devon; I used Clomid. About a week ago I started having symptoms of a cold, but it never prgressed. This is usually my first symptom. I tested at 8DPO and got an almost nothing line on a Dollar Store test. Tested 9DPO on First Response, and there was maybe a something, maybe a nothing. Tested at 10DPO and got a clear positive. Haven't tested again since.

I have to treat this pregnancy as though it will stick even though I am still so early, so I have started the Prenatals, baby aspirin, and Prometrium suppositories (done rectally this time to prevent anything including bacteria going into the vagina). If I am still pregnant at 5 weeks, then I will be restarted on Fragmin injections. Should everything carry on as we hope, I will then have to have a transabdominal cerclage placed at about 12 weeks. I may have to fly across the country for this. Things are not set up with that yet, which is quite scary.

Basically, this is a bittersweet time for me. I should still be pregnant with Devon, and I'm not. And I do want this pregnancy to continue to a good outcome, but the only reason this baby exists is because Devon has died. So it is a very tumultuous time for me. My hope is that everything goes as we would like, and that around 34 weeks, I will be c-sectioned. And even though my baby would have to spend time in the NICU, by that gestation with me it would be better out than in. So my hope is to carry to 34 weeks, and that everything works out good this time around.

Aw Sheri its fab to see you here!!! I know what you mean, my periods are due tomorrow and until that day passes i dont want to believe it, but our precious girls will look after us. Its gonna be a hard journey for us both and i will be here for you. Xxx

 

[snafusan]

oops forget oh acc was logged in haha

 

[dan-o]

Wow you have been through so much Sherri So sorry for all your losses xx

Congratulations on the BFP & I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that things go well for you xx

 

[Sherri81]

I couldn't believe it when I saw you posting here Sparky!!

I declined joining the TTC After a Loss thread on our Loss forum, because I was getting too depressed seeing everyone else who had gotten pregnant like 6 weeks after their little ones had died. So it was getting hard, and I was just sticking to Huggle's Journal, which is where I feel 'safe' over there.

I think I am supposed to be due around July 19, so we would be close.

But at this point, I am not even going to get excited. My HCG levels are a bit lower with this one than they were with Devon at this stage. I think I was at a 20 at 7 or DPO with Devon, and this time I am only a 22.4 at 10DPO. Which I know is still in the range... but I don't get excited anymore...

 

[samzi]

blah. been sick again
