March/April BFP's who's going for it!! NEW LADIES COME JOIN IN!!

[Pinkcasi]

Oh starry I can not express just how happy I am for you, I actually burst into tears when I saw that test that is sooo freaking positive !! I'm not a religious person but I pray to god a d Buddha and Allah and anyone else that might listen that this is your well deserved rainbow baby!!!


Kat, I'm so sorry about your cat they really are the heart of the family, pets aren't they, I'd be heartbroken if anything happened to my cat, I hope she's ok x

Afm no news to speak of I had pregnancy physio today it's a general class where they tell you how to sit and sleep etc without causing problems, you're supposed to do it at 15-20 weeks but I didn't know so there were all these women with tiny bumps at 17 weeks etc and then me at 29 weeks on crutches.
I can't wait till this is over, don't get me wrong I love my baby and I love being pregnant but this is horrible, I know I shouldn't complain after all I e been through to get here and I know you guys are suffering and don't wana hear me winge but I am never doing this again I can't cope with the stress, grief and the agony and that's before I get anywhere near the delivery room.

 

[Left wonderin]

Sounds like your having a bad day pink ya will get those !!! But remember those too will pass !! Ill remind you of your comments your never doing this again in about 18 months time when your in the Tww !!!!!! but seriously sorry your feeling like crap xxxxx sending big hugs your way xx

 

[Starry Night]

Kat - I am so sorry to hear about your little kitty. Our pets can be so special to us and help us through dark times so it's always so hard to see when they are not feeling well. I hope the biopsy shows that it's not cancer and just some benign growths that can easily be removed.

Pink - I would be miserable in your situation too. Being happy to have a baby doesn't take the pain away and it sounds like you're going through a lot right now. I echo what Left said, this too will pass. The day you get to hold your baby and leave all this pain behind is getting closer all the time.

afm - I'm going on preemptive modified bed rest. I've bled in all of my pregnancies so this time I'm not waiting for problems to start. Dh and I set up a little 'nest' for me in the living room. I have blankets and pillows set up on the couch to make a little bed. We also trucked up all my favourite movies and set up a little TV and the blu ray (I'm surprised we got it hooked up as the TV is from the pre-DVD era). I still want to bring up some toys for DS so he has something to do besides jump on me. lol I still plan on making meals and such but I want to start limiting how much I tramp up and down the stairs. I was supposed to avoid that with my last pregnancy.

 

[Left wonderin]

Starry sounds like a plan !! Barton down the hatches tis all about beanie lots n lots of rest for you . Get the box set of breaking bad it is supposed to be amazing .

 

[Starry Night]

DH has been expressing interest in that show and it's on Netflix so we may have to see what it's all about. Though I'm a wuss when it comes to TV shows. I don't even like to watch a lot of murder mystery types (unless they're silly like "Monk") so a show about someone being "bad" might upset me. I've been watching through the BBC Sherlock series and I need to take breaks between episodes because I get too scared.

 

[eyemom]

Oh Kat I'm so sorry. So thankful to see there are no cysts though.

Hang in there pink.

Sounds like you have a good plan, Starry. Hope your DS lets you take it easy.

Everyone else: hi! Hope you're doing well.

Afm, it's one of those I can't tell if today is CD1 or not but I think it'll probably be tomorrow.

 

[mowat]

Sorry to hear about your cat, Kat. Hoping for the best.

Ugh Eyemom. The waiting never get any easier.

 

[Earthsangel]

Congratulations Starry and everyone else with 's this month. Now I wait for a sticky bean of my own! Baby to us all.

 

[ESwemba84]

Kat, I'm so sorry your cat is sick. I hope you find strength to get through this tough time.

 

[Pinkcasi]

Oh good plan Starry, keep that ikkle bean all safe and warm, this is the one i just know it!

Thanks guys I was feeling a bit sorry for myself yesterday, im slightly more upbeat today, i know it'll all be worth it and im sure once she's in my arms i'll forget all about any of this.

My manager is now trying to organise a government grant thingy so i can get taxis to and from work, i just pay the bus fare equivlent and they collect me from home and pick me up as i cant get public transport, i can drive but having to walk from the car park is a struggle, it would save on fuel, hopefully im eligable.

I have my Whooping cough vaccine later this morning, Bleugh i dont really like jabs but apparently theres an outbreak here currently so a mums gotta do what a mums gotta do, I hope it doesn't make me feel ill or anything though as i have to come back to work.

Anyway, good luck to you all especially Starry! Oh and i totally love Monk!

PS new fruit finally no more Eggplant bub is a squash!

 

[ESwemba84]

Starry, did you have any different symptoms, or lack thereof, leading up to your BFP? I know you felt 'out', and everyone's symptoms are different. I'm just curious...

 

[nevergivingup]

Hi ladies:

Pinkcasi: Sorry that u were feeling down yesterday. But you're so right, once your baby is here it will be all worth while. Hope it gets better bc it is painful somedays and exhausting but you're almost at the finish line soon you'll be a WATERMELON on the ticker!! Hold in there and don't stress to much we want her to come right on time bc I'm sure she's ready to see her mum n dad!

Starry: That's great planning Starry, relax and do as little as possible, we're claiming this one as our sticky rainbow baby!! And I'm scared of murder shows bc people are so crazy.

Kat S: Sorry about your cat I'm a animal lover and when my dog passed, I cried all that day and was so angry at everyone. I hope you heal e,optionally with time. And Yayyyy for no cyst, a start to something great.....a BFP hopefully!! FX'd

Eye mom: Hope AF come and go so u can get this party on the road.

Hi Leftwondering

Hi Es

Earths angel: My FX'd that you will be next!!

HI TO ALL THE LADIES HERE AND AFAR!!

AFM: Back to class, later ladies

 

[Starry Night]

Starry, did you have any different symptoms, or lack thereof, leading up to your BFP? I know you felt 'out', and everyone's symptoms are different. I'm just curious...

I think part of it is with my last bfp I was pretty sure from the moment of conception -- the signs were overwhelming. This time I had some of my smaller signs but they sort of came and went and that usually means I'm out. Dh also claimed he was feeling all the same things I was so I felt then that it couldn't be a pregnancy. I didn't notice a difference in my boobs, incredible exhaustion or even increased trips to the bathroom until after I got my bfp. Those are usually my first, biggest signs.

The signs that gave me my only lifeline of hope were: heartburn every night no matter what I ate, insomnia, sciatic nerve pain, and then one night I had a dream that was...uh...very vivid and I kinda, sorta orgasmed in my sleep. That type of vivid dream made me a little curious as that has only ever happened to me in pregnancy. But none of these signs were very strong, and as I said, my dh claimed to be feeling a lot of these too (minus the sex dream, lol)

Ladies

I'm feeling very angry at the mo and need to vent

As you know I had a DNC back in June and have been told twice everything was okay - just bad luck, so I try and come to terms with it

This morning I get a call asking if I can go to the hospital for some results - what results

I get there only to be told the DNC was not straightforward and they were worried about a molar pregnancy so this prompted further testing. Anyway I see the dr's report and it said "abnormal report - male - trisomy for chromosome 22" basically I was carrying a beautiful baby boy with downs

So now although I thought my wound was closing - it has now be re-opened again and I feel so sad/angry



X

 

[bamagurl]

So so sorry garfie you vent all you need to.

 

[eyemom]

Wow starry, I almost wish I could have a dream like that. LOL

I hesitate to say this because it feels sort of tacky but Down Syndrome is trisomy 21. From what I gather, trisomy 22 is much more serious. I don't know if it's helpful to know that or not. I'm really really sorry and feel free to mourn and vent all you want. Many many hugs.

I put in a call to schedule my HSG. Hope I'm where I can pick up when she calls back. Sigh.

 

[garfie]

Hi eye I think he said downs to keep it in laments terms - although I already knew it was trisomy 21 and googled what trisomy 22 was and trust me its not pretty

I keep seeing the images and the only thing helping is knowing my little boy never suffered

Now of course I am scared it happens again - what are the odds? Both hubby and me have had the nhs tests and all
came back fine



X

 

[eyemom]

Ah I see what you're saying. (Also, wasn't trying to be patronizing so I hope it didn't sound that way.) Seems unlikely it would happen again? *hugs*

 

[ESwemba84]

Garfie, I totally understand why opening that wound would make you feel angry and sad. So sorry!

Kat, I hope your cat is doing ok.

Starry, yup, I had those dreams quite often while pregnant. Thanks for sharing your symptoms!

 

[Kat S]

Garfie, I'm so sorry! On the one hand you have an answer as to why your baby didn't survive, and can be confidant it wasn't anything you did (something I suffer with). On the other hand, I understand your fears of it happening again. Can your doc say at all the likelihood of that happening again? I hope it's extremely low!!

I took my cat in for IV fluids today as he hasn't touched his water bowl for a few days. His tests came back in and they are inconclusive. Though they didn't find cancer cells, his thyroid is elevated and there was blood in the sample. That means...more tests. I take him in for an ultrasound tomorrow at a specialists office. I'm sure his ultrasound will be less invasive than mine are.
