MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

Rae chay, I'm soooo intrigued by the sister wives. I wish they lived in my back yard. Only because I'm nosey! I didn't not they existed until recently when I watched a programme on sky called sister wives. It all looks lots of fun apart from the sharing the husband part which I suppose is a big part. Lol

Rae chat I think you hit the nail in the head with the friend and family moving on before you are ready. My best friend has just gone through a similar loss in March and I've been trying to hard to keep her busy and happy, but you really made me think.
 
Oh yeah just an update. I'm on day 2. Ttc -Round one million!!!!!

4th attempt at iui! I'm determined to get my name on the front of this thread. X
 
Hopeful - my thoughts are with you :hugs:


afm, by day 5, we had 2 embies left of average quality, so we transferred both hoping one will stick - I am now 1dp5dt.
 
@ProfWife Thank you. I really wish they would have been there for us differently. We need them. It hurts. He talked to his father and his mother has apologized, but I just don't know. His sister-in-law has always pushed an agenda with his mother leading it for her. I just wished this would have been different. It hurts me, but I also feel like I have to take up for Emma because no one else will or can. This should have been her week and everyone should respect that. I want everyone to know she cannot be replaced and that she needs to be remembered and regarded as an important member of the family. I hope the Clomid is just what you need and you don't have to worry about it.

@ClandestineTX Thank you! We have been working so hard to keep focus and work on ourselves. Things like this really shake it though. I'm trying to walk every day to get some control back and to try to be in the peak shape if/when we are able to try again. I've been doing so well, but this hurt that focus. However, I'm doing well again. I know in my head that we have to keep focus and help each other, but my heart says another thing sometimes. My head does me in sometimes as well. I really hope we do deserve a happy life and that we get it. I'm waiting for Karma to catch up.

@kksy9b Thanks. I appreciate you all being here for me. I don't know if I will say anything to her. I wish I could say she would change or care, but I don't know if that's possible. I've always let my husband handle his family, but I've told him that if anyone says or does anything that I feel like is against Emma directly to me that I will not let it go. That's hard for him, but he understands and feels the same way.

@newbie2013 Thank you!

@Lazydaisys Thanks! I'm sending so much luck for this IUI. I can't wait for you to be on the front!

@momwithbabies I agree. I believe that is part of why she did this. Thank you.

@athena87 I'll probably talk to my mother-in-law at some point. Perhaps over time I'll be able to talk to them both more in depth about it. I feel like talking to them would make me risk them saying something that makes me angry or hurts me more. Thanks.

@RaeChay I wish it was because she wanted to tell us first, but she's been spreading it around for a while. We knew since April, but we didn't want to say that we knew. After his mother told us she said she assumed we did know because of Facebook. ?!!? Then let it go. If we want to talk about it, then we will talk about it! I completely agree. I know one reason people don't mention it is because they think it will make it too hard on me or that I seem to be doing okay. They may or may not realize that I think about it every day and nearly all day. I want her to be treated like an actual member of the family. I want to hear her name and sweet remembrances of her. Yes, it might make me cry. But not hearing it does not make me forget. It just makes me feel more alone than I already do. I understand about the season change. A lot of little things like that hurt. Trying to decide what to eat when I wasn't eating for both of us, seeing my stomach tone back up when she should still be in there, or even just looking outside at the sun and everything turning green.

@mummy2o I find myself checking Facebook when I know I shouldn't. It's like I'm feeling so bad that I want to torture myself more by looking. You're right. It will always hurt, but at least the timing could have been better. My husband is being strong. We decided to let this bring us closer together and to support each other. However, he does feel like he is in the middle of it because it's his family. He started making excuses for them, but then decided it was inexcusable. He is so strong and definitely feels like he is the protector. It hurts him because he feels like he can't do much to fix the situation or others in it. We took a few days and then we both hit it again and are trying to be productive and keep our focus on what we can do.

@River54 Thanks. Lots of luck and positive vibes! I hope this is it!
 
Good luck river. Hope you have some lovely things planned for your two week wait. X

I'm going out drinking tonight. I don't usually but need to let my hair down. I'm on my period so I'm guessing it's probably the best time to indulge. I'm going for girlie night tonight and TV duvet day tomorrow. My friends with babies tell me I'm living the dream! Xx
 
@Hopeful - I've had several friends lose little ones (either mid-pregnancy, still births, or within an hour of birth). Each of them has a special way they remember their little one. This one (https://preciouslittlebabygirl.blogspot.com/) is one of my favorites. She new from about week 15-16 that her little girl wouldn't live more than a few hours after birth. She still went to term. Now, they have buttons with "I am loved" that they incorporate into family photos, gifts, whenever they go to where her ashes were spread, etc. It's not I WAS loved...because she's an ever-present member of their family. When they got pregnant with their second child, my friend posted about her daughter's little brother and did all the normal pictures and such with "little brother" apparel. Layla, their daughter was gone in body, but always present.

Keep hanging on. Insensitive, ignorant, self-absorbed family members will always be around. You have a safe place to vent here. We'll always take up for you and sweet Emma.
 
I know what you mean about feeling awful, and then making yourself feel worse by checking Facebook stuff. I had a fit of anger/sadness where I didn't un-friend, but un-followed all updates from friends who were pregnant or had babies. These include some of my closest friends, so it was a big thing to me. But at the time it helped me to step back and be less focused on my sadness.

I had a separate angry episode around his due date where I deleted all the stuff from my signature here (that's why there's no longer a link to my journal...and I'm too lazy to fix it) and took a break from this site. Well I think I was actually back in a day or two...there's a lot of support here. The point is, I think part of me was just hoping to get to rock bottom so I could make my way back up again.
 
Lazydaises: Woohoo for having a night out! Sounds like fun! And when AF is here, there's no better time:) What's your favorite drink? Hope you had fun!

RaeChay and Hopeful: I agree that this thread is so supportive and helpful...I feel lucky to have found it and been a little part of it. I wish I had words to help you ladies that have lost a child. You've been through so much. I admire you for standing up for your children and not letting others forget that they will forever be apart of your heart and lives.

AFM: I felt O pain Saturday night/early Sunday. We haven't had sex since Thursday. My poor husband has been working long hours and is exhausted! It's early Sunday morning here, so I'm wondering if I should try to BD today or just let him sleep, poor thing. My damn insomnia is bad lately. I can't fall back to sleep no matter how hard I try! Do any of you have this problem? If so, what do you do?
 
Went for cocktails:-) woo woo and cheeky vimtos. They were watered down a lot so no hangover today. X
 
The woo woo sounds tastey for sure! Glad you're not sick, but it makes me mad when they water down stuff because they sure will charge you for it!

I'm a sucker for a good margarita on the rocks;) Other than that, I love wine. A sweet, red wine is my favorite. I also like just about anything with rum in it!
 
It was fun and drinks were cheap. 9 pounds for a 2 pint jug or 2 jugs for 12 pounds. It was a no brainer! We ended up with the two jugs. Back to no drinking, af is going and I'm heating my stomach up with a moxi candle in order to prepare my lining. Ttc is practically a job in itself! Lol x
 
Momwithbabies- have you tried Apothic red? If you like a nice, juicy red then you will LOVE it!!
 
Glad you let your hair down Lazy. Glad your going back to TTC with full force.

momwithbabies: glad you got ovulation pain. Let the TWW commence.

AFM I'm waiting for AF to show up. I got a BFN yesterday so I know she'll be coming either today or tomorrow, just wish she'd hurry up.
 
:hugs: sorry hopeful, i d go berserk or totally become a whirling tasmanian devil (like the cartoon) hit and destroy anything and anyone on my path.
maybe your sil and mil had this weird idea that the news will cheer you up around these difficult time :wacko:. People have all these weirdly naive ideas.
 
Mummy2o: Hope AF will get on with the show so she can leave.

Lazydaises: I agree that TTC could be a whole separate job...the bad thing is that it causes you to lose money and is extremely stressful:) I hope you get a nice, thick lining.

I keep checking on here to see if anyone has posted anything. I miss talking to you, ladies. I go to the doctor tomorrow for a pelvic exam...yay, not. But it comes with TTC and baby territory, I know. I did not do OPK's this cycle, as I'm trying to just let things be, but I'm guessing I'm about 3 DPO today. I have a strange feeling of dizziness and a heavy feeling on the left side of my head. I have no clue why, and if it doesn't go away, I'll mention it tomorrow. Aside from my awful periods and huge clots I pass at times, I'm also going to ask about my thyroid, again. My hair falls out in clumps and I'm cold all of the time. Plus, I don't sleep well at all. But my thyroid was fine last year, so idk. My mom found out she had hyperthyroidism when she was in her 40's. I'm 31, but I just want to be careful.

How is everyone else? I feel like I've typed a book!
 
I am happy. My daughter besides being amazing, has brought my cycles back to normal. Before having her I had really bad irregular cycles ranging from 24-36 days. It made TTC pretty exhausting as I didn't know when to test for being late and my LP was only 10-12 days at the best. Last 2 cycles I've had since my first have been 28 days and last one had a 16 day LP!!! So as long as the cycles carry along a similar line I'm happy. Also going to try the good old pineapple core as well as it being my month on getting pregnant his month as all 3 pregnancies I had were due around mid march/early april time.

On another note my daughter gets her follow up x-ray today. Then on tuesday we get the verdict in if we've been abusing her or not, then she can come home with some luck. So good things all around here.

Momwithbabies: I think relaxing and the TTC approach is a good idea. It is a good idea to get these things checked out. I hope they can find the cause of all the symptoms.
 
hopeful- im thinking of you :hugs:

and im also thinking of you other wonderful ladies. baby dust to you all :)
 
@Lazydaisys I hope you had a nice night out. I believe we could all use some fun and indulgence. TTC can feel like a job. Good luck!

@ProfWife Thanks for sharing that site. I'm doing little things to remember her. I hope that we can come together to do something amazing for her every year. I've already thought about doing a balloon release on her birthday. Being remembered is one of the most important things in life. She is no different just because she didn't have a full life. Her life was the best part of my life. I just hope everyone honors her and remembers her over time. I definitely feel that Emma will always be an ever-present member of my family.

@RaeChay We deserve time to focus on ourselves and not on others, although it can be hard to do it sometimes. I've definitely hit angry times and low times as well.

@momwithbabies Thanks. I've had insomnia before. I still do sometimes. It's especially hard when I can't stop thinking about something or when I am planning to do something when I wake up. My walking has been helping me lately. I guess it's because I'm more tired by the end of the day. I hope it gets better for you. I'm sorry about the pelvic exam! I know it's not fun. Do something nice for yourself afterwards!

@pathos I think the sil was being ignorant and selfish, which is her normal behavior. I think the mil was just following orders and being ignorant as well. It's becoming apparent to everyone that she either got pregnant after finding out we were or after the loss (for attention either way).

@ALiKO Thank you so much!

AFM The office called yesterday and said my results all came back normal! That's worthy of a celebration, but it honestly feels strange to celebrate it. I think some of the main things they were looking for were autoimmune issues and blood clotting issues. I haven't talked with the doctor or specialist yet so I don't have the full details on any of the tests or what this means. We should be meeting soon(?) for a pre-conception meeting.
 
Hopeful: Woohoo on your tests coming back normal! I'm sure you are relieved and eager to talk to the doctor about it. I hope you have that preconception meeting whenever you and your husband are ready.
