Hi Nats - and everyone else

I'm okay thanks.
Update on us: Had appointment at recurrent mc clinic on 1st Sept - which was pretty rubbish. All tests came back normal - and have been advised to take aspirin when we start TTC again.
I wasn't happy with that, felt a bit fobbed off so I saw my GP a few weeks ago who agreed to refer me to a specialist in Coventry - she is running a Progesterone trial at the moment which may be a possibility for me.
We're not TTC at the moment and probably won't now till next year.
I'm quite enjoying giving my body (and mind) a break. Its nice not having to obsess about ovulation/getting pregnant etc.

How is lovely little Hayden and the rest of the family? xx

How is everyone else - Imalia, Tootsie, MissM. xxx

MaevesMummy - how are you and your gorgeous little boy? xx

its prob a good idea to enjoy some me time for a bit!! lovely to hear from u... hopefully the progesterone trial will help along with asprin xxx

hayden is doing great thanks!! hes a whopping 17lbs already..big lad likes his milk!! hes lovely though ..sleeps thru the night .. a little poppet

I'm still here, still ttc, still fighting with the drs/hospital. Have been really busy with the puppies, but they're all starting to go to their new homes now, so life is slowly returning to normal. Trying to prepare myself for, and dreading facing yet another damn Christmas.

How is everyone else doing?

hugs xxxxx have everything crossed for you to be pregnant by xmas

Just about managing to stay sane, i think! Although the latest thing bothering me is her measurements.... her head is slightly above average, and her femur length is slightly below average. I googled....stupid of me, i know, because now i am convinced she has dwarfism or something. I have midwife appt on Thursday though, so i'm sure she will talk some sense into me! Thanks, i love the name too xx

[MissMaternal]

Congrats jojo! Hope everything goes well for you this time hun.

Babesx3 I saw my midwife today and she basically said the same thing,that if there was something to be concerned about then I would have been spoken to, and she told me not to worry as the measurements are nowhere near off the scale, so I guess my little princess will just be a bit short with a big head my uterus is measuring 26 weeks and we got to hear her heartbeat again midwife wants to see me again in 3 weeks at 28 weeks which I don't think is normal here in the uk but I guess its cos of my history. Xx

Edit- I just googled and apparently it is normal to have a 28 week appt, I didn't know that lol! X

Hi,

I've just found this thread, and hope it can give me some support. I'm TTC again after losing a baby boy at 22 weeks + 2 days on the 1st September. We haven't had any test results yet, and have been told that it can take up to 16 weeks for the PM results to come through. We want a baby so much that we have decided to try anyway, however I am VERY scared of losing another baby and going through this pain again. I really don't want this fear to stand in the way of me realising my dream and having someone who will call me mummy, does anyone have any advice on how to cope with this??


Thank you, xxx

I am so so sorry for your loss. I lost my Ava at 18 and half weeks and as soon as I lost her the doctors were telling me to try again like she wasn't even a person.. It took 6 weeks to come back with no answer why she died, they took tissue but it didn't grow, so i will never know. I lost her 7 months ago and only now am I trying again. I was so afraid but the regret was worst than the fear for me, so I have decided to give it one more try. Only you know when you are really ready, don't rush into anything make sure you are ready and if it turns out tomorrow you are ready then go for it.
I wish you much love and luck xoxoxox

Hello there again ladies. Not sure if any of you remember me? I've been on and off the site over the past few months so really sorry if I haven't messaged as much as I should have done to see how you all are.

We lost a little girl back in March at 18 weeks. So on her due date my lovely husband got some helium balloons, one saying baby girl on it and we let them go from the top of a castle turret in Wales. It was just such a beautiful way to say goodbye - there were two normal balloons as well and it looked as if they were two angels carrying her up to the heavens.

We found out last week that I'm pregnant again. We tried a test in the morning that my friend, who is a nurse, gave to us... there was a really faint line on it and I was trying not to convince myself that it was a line.... I left to go to work and husband texted me 10 minutes later to say that there was a clear line on there. I got back from work and saw the line there.... but I still doubted it thinking it was just an evapouration line.... so we took a Clear Blue digital... and it was a clear BFP! I'm due in June!

Really mixed emotions right now. We've decided not to tell people until the 12 week scan and parents maybe the week before the scan. A couple of friends know the "secret" but thats about it. I'm forcing myself not to get too excited until after the 20 week scan at least. And in all honesty I won't be really at ease until baby is in my arms healthy and breathing and just being beautiful.

I'm still a bit big from last time -the bump hasnt seemed to shift and the breast milk had caused even more weight gain so I'm dreading the weigh in as well as the last sonographer was really off with me for being over-weight and even mentioned it in my notes in a really cold way which compared to my other friends (who are also a bit overweight) never got that kind of wording. As well as that I'm not too sure how long I'll be able to keep it quiet at school as I reckon I'm going to show quite soon.... eek!

Hope you are all well and preparing to keep nice and warm for the next few weeks.

Ahhh, congratulations, your story has given me some hope, and I hope that you are able to relax and enjoy this preganancy as much as possible. Very difficult I know. Also, I think it was a lovely idea to release helium balloons on your little one's due date, I think I'll do the same for Alex when his due date comes around in January.

Take care xx

 

[jojo23]

Hi ladies,

I hope you don't mind me jumping in here... I lost my little girl on July 4 at 23wks due to IC. She was conceived through IVF.

I had a TAC placed a couple of weeks ago, and am about to embark on IVF #3.

The last couple of days have been so hard because my little girl's due date is coming up (1st Nov) and my little brother told me this morning that his wife is expecting. I'm absolutely thrilled for them, but I'm so sad for myself.

Anyway, I'm trying to look forward.

I have an US tomorrow to check on a follicle that was spotted last week, which looked big and promising (I have lots of follicles due to PCOS). I'm praying there's a little eggie in there and I'll ov naturally for the first time in years.

If not, I'll be taking provera this week to bring on AF and start stimming in the next few weeks.
