PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

[bumpyplease]

glad you are home puppy and hope you are on the mend!

3x charmer do you have a scan booked?

ive just found out i wont get my blood results until friday either, im feeling really anxious today, first time really this pregnancy and i dont like it! prob coz im around my critical time and friday seems so far away!

 

[Mom2mmcjg]

Puppy, so happy you're feeling better! Have a great time with your sis!

Bumpy, the waiting is the worst part. I always wait around at the lab and get my results directly from them so I don't have to wait for my doctor. I can't stand waiting and wondering if my doc will have time to call me! I'm on edge waiting for Monday when I get my next HCG check and then next Friday when I finally get my first ultrasound! I don't want to wish time away, but I do wish it was next week already.

puppy - glad you are out and hydrated!! Go get to chomping down some grubb lol!

Bumpy - I had a scan at the ER last Saturday that revealed a baby measuring ahead with an HB of 125 but I wanted to wait until 8 weeks to see my doctor b/c that's usually when I get the bad news...I think that some of my pregnancies are starting out normal and then going to hell later. It's like I either miscarry at 5 weeks or they don't grow past 6 weeks and my 8 week ultrasound shows a small 6 week baby with a slow HB and then my body refuses to miscarry until the 11 week mark. So for me making it to 8 weeks with a good HB is my #1 milestone and I am terrified that once again I will go in at 8 weeks and hear "oh no, that's def not an 8 week baby, more like 6" yeah, last time I almost got into a fight with the ultrasound tech who told me there was no way to know when I ovulated and bbt didn't work for her and blah blah...my doc confirmed 5 minutes later that I would miscarry as I had gotten that pregnancy confirmed at 9 dpo and there was no way I could've been under 8 weeks...stupid tech!!

morning girls
happy 17 weeks justw! there is still room for dh as we have a king size bed, but, i make him sleep in the other room if i think i'm going to have trouble sleeping as otherwise i keep him awake
puppy - happy you are home and hopefully you can eat a ton
davies - lol on the cut as sounds like something i would do. hoping it heals soon!
bumpy - why can't they give you the bloods until fri? that's a little extreme. i'm sure you will be fine though!

hi mom2 and 3x!

we got regular rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow last night, it's like winter wonderland outside. hoping it melts soon...working from home today

 

[filipenko32]

Aww 3 x I felt your anger at the tech then! Sometimes, well quite a lot actually. I feel k know more than the doctors I see nevermind the techs!! All the docs disagree too which makes it so frustrating! Your mc's sound just like mine.

 

[hopeful23456]

fili! I meant to tell you yay for AF staying away! I can't wait until you are in the IVF cycle, it's going to go by so quick before your are bfp.

 

[jenny25]

Hi girls just got back from my first therapy session it was great I will tell you more later as I've done a two mile walk and I'm knackered also went to put a deposit on a pram and the pushy bugger tried to get me to pay for it all today so I walked out the shop and told them I'd leave it I hate being forced into something x

 

[filipenko32]

Thanks hopeful x x it sounds like Christmas again where you are! it's actually getting warmer here now! I hope you're doing ok? Any sickness anymore? Or has it all gone now? I'm looking forward to the ivf now, i hope it works. They're just going to add the hormone to signal to produce more eggs then trigger them I think (short protocol?) they're not down regging me whatever that is! Do you think that because they're kind of taking over the hormonal control you get better quality eggs?

 

[filipenko32]

That's annoying about the pram jenny, some people will always try it on, was it a big company or a small one? Did your therapy help? Mine never does I've been making excuses not to go! But trying to find a recurrent mc counsellor specifically

 

[Embo78]

What pram are you thinking of Jenny? We went to John Lewis and had a play!! We fell in love with the iCandy peach.

 

[daviess3]

I can't wait for pram shopping I no 2 friends with I candy embo an they love it I don't no I'm going for ICandy or bugaboo need an easy buggy for dog walks but I want lightweight no heavy bulkyness for me!
Fili I can't wait for ivf cycle either! X
3x why are these professionals so stupid! Like Mu mw telling me I hadn't heard heartbeat! They make u want to swear! Lol!
Hopeful snow how lovely! I don't like being cold though! I make my hubby sleep spare room alot as he snores!! Badly!! We're trying ear plugs at mo! X

 

[jenny25]

Fili I know I hated the shop it was a little independent shop it was 325.00 I had the money but didn't wanna jinx myself all I wanted was too put something on hold I've actually got a woman who is a fully trained therapist but now specialises in the maternity dept she was great I'd advise it xx

Embo it was the silver cross 3d classic it came with free car seat foot muff rain cover bag and bag apron etc xxx

 

[heart tree]

Hey everyone! You all are chatty today!

I had acupuncture last night to help my hips, my insomnia and strengthen my immune system. Heaven. I stopped going a year ago to save money for a surrogate. I’m so glad to be going back. I slept 8.5 hours and my hips didn’t hurt.

Croy I’m glad to hear the sciatica pain is subsiding. Hope you got your homework done! I snack on the same things you do for the most part. I make my own granola and eat that pretty regularly. I also love apples with peanut butter and veggies with hummus.

Hopeful, that pillow is huge! We only have room for a queen size bed and no extra rooms for hubby to go to. I really want one of those pillows though. Maybe I’ll try to find a smaller one. Have a good work from home day!

Davies, that story totally made me laugh! I would definitely do something like that too! Glad the bleeding is from the cut though.

Fili, that is great news about AF!! And that you got verification that you had a good egg. I really think you are getting close to your forever baby.

Bumpy, I still don’t feel pregnant! I felt the most pregnant when I was 10 – 13 weeks. That’s when my nausea was really bad. Try not to stress too much. I know Friday feels far away but it’s almost here.

Charmer, same thing goes for you. You’ve had a healthy baby. Try to remember that. No two pregnancies are the same. This baby could also be your keeper. All that being said, I completely understand the doubts and worry that creep into your head. It’s so hard not to compare one pregnancy to another.

Puppy, you got poked and prodded yesterday! Sounds like they gave you the full work up! I hope you’re on your way to feeling good and healthy now.

Mom2, I’ll wish the time away with you. No harm in wanting your scan day to be here already!

Jen, I’m so glad to hear you had a good counseling session. It can be such a great source of strength and support.

Happy 17 weeks Kellie and Embo!!!

Busy day for me. I’m meeting with a client then going for my scan. Probably won’t update much today. Sorry I have to make most of you girls wait until tomorrow for my update. Unless you wake up to pee like Davies and check B&B at 3am!

Have a great day everyone.

 

[Embo78]

I like that one too Jenny. I saw one for £300 and that included everything. Even the changing bag. I think it was in mothercare or baby's r us.

Davies I like the bugaboo too but the iCandy is just so sleek and glam!! I'll be doing a lot of walking to get into shape after baby's born. We've put the wedding off until July 2013 so I'll have plenty of time to get slim and gorge!! I'm really disappointed but I know it's for the best

 

[filipenko32]

Heart I can't wait for your update!!!

 

[puppycat]

Definitely got poked and prodded. As you know Clexane is a tummy jab, had bloods in left crook of arm, attempted canula in left arm (different vein), right back of hand, and finally got it in right wrist. Not to mention the 'waxing' sticky tape they use! lol

 

[Embo78]

Whoop heart I hope we find out pink or blue! I'm guessing pink

 

[filipenko32]

I've already guessed I think I'm 50% right!

 

[3xscharmer]

Heart - thanks and I hope you can get a peek at the gender!!

Fili and Daviess - yeah, those techs think that just because they can measure a baby that they know it all but my doc knew exactly what I knew...and when I had to come back in a week later to see if the HB was still there, they actually had another lady do my ultrasound while that original tech just stood there...think I can thank my doc for that lol!!

AFM - I'm going through that feeling optimistic one minute and down the next...whats new with that lol! I am feeling a little better b/c it just occured to me that I have been having breast tenderness, which I don't normally have and still dizzy and still tired and still headache and I couldn't eat my supper last night because it was gross (but it was good at lunch today lol) I did have a moment after lunch yesterday where I felt nauseaus and then again this afternoon when I got hungry and during eating but it only lasts like 30 seconds...then it occured to me that at some point with Olivia my m/s went from out of nowhere all of a sudden throwing up to more of a nauseas and then throwing up so I'm just hoping that's what's going on here, my m/s may be changing and besides after my symptoms went away last miscarriage, they came back just not as strong and that was no indicator of how that pregnancy was going because that just told me I still have hcg, didn't tell me that my baby had stopped growing! So I am trying to be positive but it is so hard and I do have those moments, maybe tomorrow I will wake up feeling like hell lol!! Hope everyone is having a good day!

 

[daviess3]

Me to fili can't wait for ur update heart hope I have my 3am wake up call! What time will it b u will update heart?
Embo I would do same hun baby so much to focus on that it's nice to look forward to wedding an focus on that to! I plan on walking but I want a light weight buggy to! Think will have to just try out! I want to go after 20 week scan! X
