PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

Wow! That is impressive!

Well if you want to read my full story you can find it in my journal:

https://www.babyandbump.com/pregnancy-journals/883513-cant-quite-believe.html

Basically I have had 9 losses - hence the worry constantly. I have to keep telling myself it will all be ok, but I don't know if I actually believe that yet!
 
Thanks heart, I just couldn't quite remember why I was on here lol!!

I'm off on a London bus tour tomorrow and 2 meals out with hubby!! Love bus tours in central London. We might be able to squeeze in a court case to watch 'for fun' at the old bailey too :yipee: love doing that! I know I'm a weirdo :loopy: you can't tale anything in with you so a restaurant opposite watches your bags for you for the fee of a pound.
 
Oh sorry 3 x I knew lamberai would see your beautiful daughter In your avatar and would know x
 
Heart - you are so not old!!!

Puppy - Yippieee, can't even tell you how much better that makes me feel!

Tracie - I was 21 when I had my first and second m/c's - I got pregnant with DD right after that and had her a few months after my 22nd birthday. We started trying again when DD was 5 months and I had m/c No3 before my 23 birthday, 4 and 5 came in the few months after...so I've had all 5 m/c from 21 - 23...that just sucks!!
 
Lambs I'm off to have a read right now. We are all constant worriers here. That's why I started this thread. Being PAL is one thing. Being PAL after numerous losses is entirely different. I wanted a home for people like us. If you need to vent you worries, we're the girls to listen. We call it PAL Normal on this thread. Any worry you have is PAL Normal, no matter how small the worry is.
 
Fili forgot to mention one thing... she is a wonderful lady who puts up with us all, all our moans and groans, and i love because she likes kermit like me lol

and they all accepted me in when they were all in the worrying stages and I was huuuuuuge when they could have told me to bog off... lol

Yeah its awful mine were 18-22 then had Diva at 24 :)
 
Fili have a great time in London! My husband will be there in a few weeks. I wish I could go with him to meet all of you lovelies who live in that part of the world.

3x, you are sweet, but I am old. I win the prize for the oldest woman on this thread. 37 isn't young. I'll be 38 in October. My husband will be 43 (gulp) in May. Yes, we're old. I never imagined I would have children this late in life. I should have had my first baby at 34.
 
That's right Tracie. Fili is an amazingly wonderful, optimistic, hilarious woman who is so supportive of everyone. She has sadly had 4 losses herself and is on her way to her forever baby.
 
Lamb - I am so sorry, I can't even imagine the devistation of lossing 9 - but I want to say that here a couple of months ago, I was looking through the pregnancy threads and someone posted "12 losses and now 12 weeks with a keeper" I don't know her full story, but if she went on to have a healthy pregnancy I know that you will too!

Fili - no biggie, I just didn't know Lambs story at the time and I always want ppl to know that it IS possible for us RPL gals to have healthy babies...I did it and so can you kinda vibe! Plus I'm uber proud of that kid! I could just sit here and brag all day, she's my miracle child!!
 
Tracie - yup can definately sympatize!

Heart - well fine, you win...You're SOOOO very old, remeber when the dino's walked the earth? LoL - I am just kidding, really 37 doesn't sound so old to me but if it is then geez, looks like I've only got a few good years left lol!!!

FYI - hoping really hard that you have a good sense of humor and wont kick me off of here lol!
 
Lamberai Before I drone on - sorry if you know anyone already, I know you were a long time goddess of b and b before you left so here you go:
Heart has had 4 mc's over a number of years and has spent most of that time helping everyone else and reassuring them!!! She is nearly 16 weeks now.
Tracie has lovely little izzy now after 6 miscarriages and you can see lots of lovely pics she regularly posts :cloud9:
Hopeful is expecting twins after 4 miscarriages and steroid treatment along with all the other pregnancy meds associated with roid therapy
Embo has three older children and is now successfully pregnant after 3 mc's. She never really had any treatment other than progesterone at bfp.
Davies is the spokesperson / poster girl for St marys after 4 losses she is now successfully pregnant after lots of progesterone at bfp and clomid to help her to ovulate. Oh and she also has the most amazing St Bernard dog called willow.
Pip - well none of us really like her!! :haha: I know you know amazing pip really well
Puppy has a little girl but sadly had 3 mc afterwards. She is now successful and i don't think she had any treatment. She has been very :sick: for this pregnancy.
Jenny has a little boy but she had I think 5 mcs before success with this little bean!
Bumps is now pregnant after 4 mcs and ATM her stupid epu won't scan her early :dohh:
3x sadly had 5 mc's but we just know she's going to be successful now!
I am always on this thread pretending I'm preggo!!

Thanks for posting the introductions. I needed this info too. :flower:

I'll introduce myself. I had 5 boys with no problems but have had 3 miscarriages in the past 18 months. Pregnant again, on aspirin, progesterone, and a TON of vitamins. I have the best doctor in the world. :flower:
 
Aww thanks girls.:hugs:
Heart I think aslong as you can get pregnant you're never too old even up to 44. I had SO MANY 40 year old parents in my school, one just before I left, of a child I taught, was pregnant with her 3rd child at 43, she had a girl and the others were boys. I think they were older as they had power careers and had left family making till later. They were super rich but worked a lot. I only ever saw them at parents evenings as their nannies picked them up in chauffeur driven cars to be taken to their mansions! They had 4 holiday homes, flash cars and our school fees were enough at 15,000 pound a year so that is about 23,000 dollars...a year!! And there were a lot of siblings too. Age really doesn't matter and you are still relatively young compared to 43 I think. Lots of the preggies there were 40 plus it was common and you're no where near that. X x x
 
In fact I do remember the dinos walking the earth LOL! Fertility wise, 37 is old. I am still young in every other way. But I'm not sure how many more chances I'll have at having another baby. That's what I mean by old.
 
Thanks Fili, it's just that I don't know how old I want to be with babies. My step-father was 48 when my brother was born. He died right after my brother graduated from college from dementia. Not many 22 year olds have a father in their 70's. My husband will be pushing that age range for baby number 2, assuming I can have another baby. Assuming I even have this one. I don't know that we want to be such old parents. It's just something I have to seriously consider that I didn't have to in my 20's or early 30's.
