Mama Bears TTC a rainbow - join us :)-- (69 ladies so far)-(29 BFP's!)

[Conina]

Lulle I'm so sorry I know nothing we can say can help at this stage, I just hope you get over the worst (physically and emotionally) soon.

 

[krulci]

Lulle, I'm so sorry! I really thought this was the one... You're in my thoughts and prayers for the quickest, most whole recovery possible. All my love!

 

[Renaendel]

Ohh no lulle. I am so sorry and my thoughts are with you.

 

[confuzion]

Hi all!!

When I went in for my 12 week scan, I bumped into a girl I know in the waiting room. Her LO is in nursery with C, and we would go to mums & tots together.

Anyway, my scan showed no heartbeat and I MC'd a couple of weeks later.

It's so hard to see her now and think that she's at the exact stage I would be at. Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy for her and also, she's not having an easy pregnancy so she has her own problems, but I saw her this morning leaving her LO off and she's got a proper bump now. That should be me!!

I know how you feel. I think we all do.

Don't know when we'll try again - or even if. Scan today, at 12+1, showed no heartbeat. Everything was normal a week ago.

To the hospital tomorrow.

As I said on the mama bear graduate thread, WTF, so absolutely shocked and heartbroken for you. You deserved your rainbow baby. This just sucks. Whether you are TTC, WTT, or just feel like giving up altogether, we are here for you. I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss. But you're strong, and you will get through it

Lulle - so so sorry to hear your sad news

JM & Conina - definitely tough. As Confuzion says, we've all been there and it's hard. to you both.

Krulci - happy birthday I know how you feel - I lost my 2nd a week before my birthday last year. I hope that by your next birthday, you are holding your rainbow

Confuzion - love your funky new animation! And your avatar though I was caught out earlier by something you'd posted in someone else's journal as I didn't recognise who it was til I read your name!

Leinz - a wonderwoman tear bear sounds awesome!

 

[LeahLou]

Oh my word Lulle. I'm so sorry. Take some time for yourself. I was there in October. I was numb for a long time. Still kind of am. It robs you of something inside. Wish there was something I could do.

Got my HCG level results today. I started out at 11,500, last week it was 7,400 and this week as of monday it was at 179 Almost to zero. im so happy to finally get some good news. Getting anxious to start TTC again.

Good to hear!!! You are close to your Rainbow BFP! Are you TTC straight away? If so, its just about time to watch for O.

 

[Renaendel]

I did it...I just made the call to the reproductive endocrinologist. I am freaking out a little. Ok a lot. We agreed to get help if we didn't get pregnant by May. A year and a half. They take a few months to book so I started now so our appointment would be at goal time. This feels so final. Like I am admitting to something being wrong. I am terrified.

 

[confuzion]

JM - that's great news

renae - with the way your chart is looking, I don't think you'll need that appointment. But it's good to have it as a net.

 

[Leinzlove]

Renae: I agree with C... This month feels like it for you! I think we all feel out at 6dpo!!! Eeeek!

That's huge progress!! Very exciting! I'm sending my HCG-reduction-vibes your way! (for the time being, of course... )

We are in a similar boat, but in unrelated topics. (...explanation coming, lol) My husband applied to med school this year and narrowly missed acceptance, meaning we're beginning the application process all over again. He complains about how defeating it feels to have to admit that we didn't make it this first round, but I keep telling him that 'progress is progress, no matter where it is in the process'. It seems to help us both keep our chins a little higher. Maybe if you can focus on this being another step towards progress in the TTC journey, you'll feel a little less scared and a little more excited? I'm sure you have nothing to worry about and you'll be sprouting a bump before May!

Two weeks ago our baby girl Josephine was born still. Of course we want to try again. Dipping my toe back in here for support and exploring what other people did for their timeline of TTC.

 

[confuzion]

Hi ivyn. I'm so incredibly sorry for the loss of your precious Josephine. Welcome to our group .

Can I ask how long ago she was born?

 

[3Minions]

Ivyn, I'm very sorry for your loss.

Well my Dr. Said we should wait until after my period to start trying again to allow my uterine lining to thicken. So I'm not sure what to do because I don't want to waste time if it's meant to be. We are goin on vacation this Saturday and I really don't want to prevent so I think of it happens it happens. I won't be tracking ovulation or anything. If we don't get a BFP no big deal we will really try next cycle. What do you all think?

Haha thank you!!! I thought it was a good progress

 

[confuzion]

JM- I think that sounds like a great plan . I'm a firm believer in if your body is ready to get pregnant, it will, and if not, then it won't.

 

[Squig34]

JM - good news that things are getting back to normal! Re trying again, some doctors suggest you wait at least one cycle but that's more to do with dating if there is a quick following pregnancy rather than for any medical reason. Given that we shed our uterine lining every month, I personally don't see the logic in the 'waiting for it to thicken' advice, plus many women are more fertile after a M/C. If it feels right for you to try, then go for it. If it feels like you need a month or two off, then that's ok too. Good luck!

Ivyn - so terribly sorry to hear of the loss of your baby girl

Renae - like the other girls have said, your chart looks great! I think you have done the right thing making an appointment with the RE. I know it's a scary thought for you, but although I hope you're not going to need it (and we'll be hearing that news in about a week! ), if nothing has happened, you're better to start finding out sooner rather than later why not.

Hello to you other Mama Bears! Has anyone got any nice weekend plans? DH is away so my mum is coming up to stay, which means shopping and eating lots of nice food
