PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[heart tree]

Pups, sorry, we posted at the same time. So glad you got the drug, but what's up with that DH of yours? Now what's going on? I'll check your journal in case you posted it there. Sigh...

 

[croydongirl]

Oh pup you poor thing. Praying you feel some relief really soon. And sorry about DH, I am not sure why they pick the worst moments to decide to act out. Just like kids I suppose

 

[croydongirl]

Heart - During out dinner last night I found out that hubs was a late baby, He was due in December, and didn't come until Jan 23rd!!! I don't think they let you go that late now, but its no wonder he was such a chubber when he was born!! Hoping baby takes after my side, I was early and my brother was right on time!

 

[Embo78]

I'll probably go over (unless I'm induced for some reason)
My dd no 1 went over 3 days, dd no 2 went over TWO weeks! (I was induced!) And my son went over 4 days! He could've gone longer but I was induced.
It'll be interesting to see what'll happen with this one!

 

[heart tree]

Croy I'm not sure if my father or his sister were on time. My grandmother was 40 and 42 when she had them, but she died many years ago so I can't ask her. I'll ask my dad, but I doubt he'll know. I'm hoping I'll take after her though. I have a feeling she birthed them on time. I already know I take after her on the fertility side. I have a great reserve of eggs for my age, which clearly she did too. On my mother's side, all the women go through menopause around 39/40. I'm not going to be one of them, thank god. My cousin is going through it right now at 42.

Pictures???

 

[heart tree]

Embo, sounds like this one will be late too unless you are induced!

 

[Embo78]

I think so heart. I had high blood pressure at the end with Oliver so that's why I was induced with him.
They're keeping a close eye on my blood pressure at the end of my pregnancy

So sorry to read your update, charmer

I hope you finally get some answers and a treatment plan so that next time you get your sticky bean. Having hubs in your side is also going to make a big difference...
Wishing you all the best with the op and the testing and hoping to see you back here Fili-style very soon Xxx

 

[petitpas]

Croy, well done on your exams! Do you have a break now?
Also fab news on your scan I do think we'll have a lot of fun with our boys

Davies, congrats on all being well with your baby, too! I laughed at the first picture - it really does look like a little alien intent on escape

Hopeful, I went to yoga today and the lady next to me was blond and 34 weeks along with twins. She was slim with a forward bump. Very cute and made me think of you.

Pups, sorry you are feeling sick again but I am so glad to hear that you are finally getting something from your doctor. None of us want meds but we all have our limits and with hg you just shouldn't have to struggle on your own
As for hubs, I just hope it is temporary and he pulls himself together soon! Or else we'll come sort him out

Fili, how did your appointment go? Was it at St Mary's?

 

[daviess3]

Thanks pups I no! Trying to escape an long hands I have long hands an fingers hubby has massive hands do could explain! I also looked at my 20 week measurement an compared it to other peoples an baby has long legs like me to! I love the mini me! X

Croy where's the pic?

Pups pleased u got good meds now x

Heart my mum was late with me sn sis 2 weeks! My sis was 2 weeks late with her first an second an third were c section!
My hubby is a twin but his mum had them naturally at 38 weeks so full term for twins! Who knows what I will get I'm going with late!! But I'm sure I read some research about low progesterone often you go into early labour? I don't no!!
My sil had her son at 28 weeks, an he's disabled so I just pray I don't go into labour that early! X

puppy - sorry to hear your dh is being an ass, that sucks. i'm surprised the didn't put you on zofran earlier? seems to be what they put girls on here quite a bit per message boards

I just had my scan which i have every 2 weeks with an obgyn appt. i had an external scan and they are doing great, were sleeping and then woke up.

then I had an internal scan to check cervix which i haven't had internal scan to check it since the early pregnancy weeks. it's one of the nurse practioners that i love who did the scan. my cervix is a little smaller....

externally, it's been measured 3.8 two weeks ago, 4.17 at level 2 last week (externally, it's just not as good of a check). but today it was 3.33? and has nabothian cysts on 1 side of it. which of course freaked me out as she kept looking to see if the cervix was open at all. she didn't think it was open and we looked forever and of course, lying on my back, I almost fainted again

then it was time for my obgyn appt so I got up, got dressed, grabbed my water and spilled an entire glass all over myself, i was soaked! shocked me into reality though.

so then I saw my obgyn (who is also my re) and she said it's totally fine and not to worry as she looks at the u/s pics on her laptop that they just took. In one angle you can see the cysts and the other angle the cervix is closed. then she reached in an felt my cervix and it was hard and shut. thank god! still a tiny bit nervous though.

And now I am going for weekly scans/cervix checks until the babies are here! usually the weekly scans don't start for another month or so but they just want to make sure it's all ok. so here we go! time is going to fly....wow...glucose test in 4 weeks.

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Davies & Croy- Happy 20 weeks, cantaloupes! I'm a raspberry, wohoo! Now I need to go buy some, cause some fresh raspberries sound great!

Croy- A boy! Congratulations! I love boys (obviously) they are so much fun!

I don't know if I'll end up going over or not this time. My pregnancies have been pretty much half and half. #1 was born 2 days over, #2 was born on his due date, #3 was born 2 weeks late after an induction, #4 was also born 2 weeks late after an induction, and #5 was born 1 day after his due date. So with that history the only weird thing would be if baby came early.

I haven't been able to sleep at night and I've been exhausted and nauseous all day, so nothing has been getting done around my house. My hubby has been out of town since Sunday and he's coming back tomorrow, I had so many projects I wanted to do while he was gone, but I've done nothing.
My sinus infection is improving so I'm starting to feel more "pregnant" and less "sick", its weird how I still don't feel well, but pregnant sick is a much better feeling than sick sick.

So far my old wives tales are saying "boy". Baking soda test said boy and chinese gender predictor said boy, the heartbeat said "girl" though. I guess its a battle of the old wives tales.

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Hopeful, Yes, time is going to fly by now! Weekly scans! That's a lot of time at the doctor's office, but all worth it I'm sure. I bet its great seeing those babies so often. Glad to hear you cervix is hard and closed, I can imagine that must be nerve wracking!

Puppy, I hope your hubby knocks it off! He's not allowed to be an ass for another year at least!

 

[hopeful23456]

happy 8 weeks raspberry mom2!

 

[bumpyplease]

mom2 - happy 8 weeks!!!!!!! im 9 weeks tomorrow, its actually going quite quick, and i NEVER thought i wouldl say that!!!!!!!

xx

 

[filipenko32]

Hopeful that all sounded VERY stressful but it's good that they're being so thorough. God when does the stress ever end??!!!!

Bumps he has put me on CLOMID!!!! Not only that but double the dose that Davies was on as I remember. He's put me on 100mg a day for 5 days, then he said test for ovulation, then test for pregnancy so I can ttc in Vegas after all!!!! He said it could be a while before I got my af cos my cl took so long to die. It's now dead so here's hoping I ov. He said it works 85% of the time so please don't let me be in the minority again. The whole thing cost £350 and I am gutted I had to spend that much because my f'ing period wouldn't show.

Daaaaaaaaaavvvvvvvvvvvvviiieeeess where are you I need to ask you some questions.

Happy 8 weeks Mom2!
Happy nearly 9 weeks Bumps!!

Glad you're having a nice time with your mum Heart! Bet she can't wait for your little girl either

Croy Aubry does sound girly!! I am so happy you're so happy it's about time after all you've been through!

Puppy, what is he doing? I hope you're not too upset in your condition too!
Jen how are you hun?

Copied from my journal for the ladies who haven't seen -


Now for my Gareth rant :

Last night i told him i'd tested and had shown ketones so he says well call your GP. I told him they'd likely admit me again so he says that's fine and he can manage. Basically talked me into it.

I called GP who wouldnt help so he says well call the hospital direct, so i did, they told me to come in. I told him what they said and he goes 'well i can't take you'.



He talked me into phoning, told me he'd cope then says he can't take me? Complete head fuck.

You can imagine i feel like shit, have no energy and he does that.

He did take me after making me shout and listen to his complaints. I had to wait an hour though obviously.

All he has done today is bang doors, throw parcels, swear, whinge, moan. You name it. I'm ready to kill him.

 

[hopeful23456]

fili - i was on clomid for 3 months too in case you have any questions, was on 50 mg and then 75 mg. but i was also monitored for the size of follicles and did a trigger shot (hcg) to ovulate when the follies were big enough and then did IUI). i had 3 follies the first time, 1 follie the second time and 3 follies the third time.

puppy- that sucks how dh is treating you, you need support now! you have us! HUGS wish i could drive you there

 

[filipenko32]

Thanks Hopeful! Oh I didn't know that. Did you have any sides? Did you get pregnant on it? The doc today seems to be convinced I am going to be preggo in 3 weeks 100mg seems a lot do you think??

Puppy that is not on why are men so awkward? Do you think he could be jealous that a lot of your attention is on baby?

 

[puppycat]

I wish I knew fili the thing is, on a day to day basis I hardly think of being pregnant etc. I just concentrate on Laura and housework, only on the days I am poorly do I mention baby unless I want him to take bump shots. I have tried to put his hand on tummy to interact with him but he's just not interested
