PAL after Recurrent Losses - come join us!

Yay we have some newbies to the thread! Welcome pink!

Heart I'm not sure about my dad thanks for asking. We should hear next week how bad things are I'm praying they caught it in time though x
 
Huge hugs from me heart! We can be cervix worriers together. My mom is only 3 hours away but miss her too, only see her a few times a year and she doesn't Skype (lol- no computer at home or desire to get one) and just a track phone that is never on and she doesn't really know how to use it. Living in olden days

Sara- I love your ticker too! Reminds me of when we all started out...awwww

Mom2- are you going to find out gender? I do get a lot of vit c, OJ and in vitamins and it usually helps, this time it's like the plague

Croy- when do you graduate? Will be nice to have some time off now but it's so nice to be done

Bumpy! How are you feeling?

Pip- ducky will be here so soon, I can't wait. You are the reason I found bnb. Googling rmc posts and steroids and I will always be grateful for that!

Pink- welcome and congrats!!! I'm glad you are getting an early scan as it would be hard to wait that long! Most of us had early scans, I had 1 a week from 6 weeks thru 10 weeks
Then every 2 weeks and now every week again. I'm a scanaholic. (they are needed though, cervix checks and they scan more with 2)

Davies- like pip said, inject very slow, I iced before and after too. Nice that it's only for 7 days. Will go by fast.

I'm really stuffy but fever down (thanks Tylenol)... I never want to get sick again. Feeling little kicks here and there which is nice. I ask them to kick me too ;)

Those 2 bananas... Lol on bananas, like just for this week they got all skinny and narrow.
 
Welcome pink!!

Bumpy, My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and they gave her 6 months to 2 years max. That was 8 years ago.... She still has cancer (brain, liver, bones and kidneys) but she's managing it, doing great, travelling the world and living well. It's very hard and I really know how you must feel waiting for news right now but I just wanted you to know that no matter what information they give you about your dad there is always tons of hope and things often turn out much better than even the doctors imagine. I'll be thinking of you. :hugs:
 
Has anyone measured how big around you are? I am 41 inches! Measured largest I think under belly button

Bumpy- my mom beat breast cancer, caught it early, cut it out and had radiation and an experimental drug...
Sara- that's great your mom is doing well!
 
Ooh, so many posts I want to reply to, I hope I don't forget anyone!

First of all big congratulations to Lou! I feel really honoured that your baby is barely ten hours out and you're posting on here :cloud9:

Take your time to recover but please do humour us with a picture of your dinky little man sometime. I'm so pleased everything went well for you :yipee:

Hopeful, I'm so sorry you are still sick :( as far as I've been told being sick does not affect your babies at all as long as your temperature doesn't go too high. You seem to be on top of that, though, so :thumbup:
Hopefully, you have turned a corner and are on your way to recovery now :flower:

I feel very humbled that you found this site through me :blush: If it hadn't been for bnb I don't think I would still have ducky. It is only through this website that I heard about nkcells and with the encouragement of a number of ladies here that I went for the treatment. It's not something I will ever forget!

Pink, a big welcome to you :yipee:
I hope all goes well for you and squishy :hugs:

Sara, as I said on the other thread, I think your beta result is fine and a lot more definitive than the urine test. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a good rise by your next blood draw!
Thanks for explaining the steroids. I'm not very knowledgeable with thyroid issues but would like to know more about it. My sister is about to ttc again and she has thyroid problems. If she doesn't conceive soon or has any problems she is going to come to me so I need to be prepared! :haha:

Heart, I wish I could come and give you a big hug this evening :hug:
I know I'm complaining about having my parents in the house but at the same time I am glad to have them closer. They used to be a 12 hour drive away :wacko:
Her getting Skype sorted will make a big difference to you, I'm sure. You may not be able to hug but she will be able to follow your pregnancy much closer!
We had our first Skype chat with my nephew last Sunday and it was so much cooler and more fun for both parties than just hearing him make baba noises in the background.
As for the cervix, if this was me you would remind me that I am still outside the critical level so no need to panic yet! You are being super proactive in taking your progesterone so hopefully you will stay within the normal range for a long time yet - you have a super doc keeping an eye on you, too, just in case :thumbup:
On a more fun note, what sewing project are you working on at the mo?

Bumpy, I think I may have missed the news about your dad? Big hugs and lots of strength to you, hon. I hope you still get to enjoy many a happy moment with him :hugs:

Mom, that's quite an impressive family you have there! If you were here I'd wonder how you'd get around with seven children but I have seen some huuuuge cars in the States so it shouldn't be a worry :D
Since you brought it up, when do you think you'll have your first grandchild? :lol:
 
Hey everyone! My anatomy scan when great. The sonographer couldn't get the detailed measurements of Otto's heart so I have to go back in two weeks.
We're on cloud nine right now! I think this might be happening for us this time! Eeek!!

Hopeful- Oh yes, I'll definitely be finding out the gender ASAP. I'd like to get a 3D gender scan at 16 weeks, there are some places not too far that will do it for $100 so I thought that may be something fun! I need to know so I can shop! I always pick a color and a theme for my babies, so I need lots of time to get the nursery ready.

Pip- My van is 8 passenger so if we decide to go for a 7th child we'll have to upgrade to a 12 passenger! I don't even want to think about the price of gas in one of those! :haha: Something we'll definitely have to take into consideration when deciding if we want to stop or not.:shrug:
My oldest son is 14 and my second son is 13, I got married at 18 and had my first at 19, so if they follow in my footsteps I could be a grandma in 5 years! At 38! Wow, what a thought. :dohh: Hubby and I had planned on only having 5 and stopping when I was 30, but after #5 was born we just couldn't say we were done. I was 30 when he was born, so once we decided to go ahead and try again we started right away. #5 Breastfed until he was almost 2 so I didn't ovulate! Then when I finally got my cycle back I had 3 losses, so now #5 is going to be 4 when #6 is born. The funny thing is I know if we have a daughter we'll be done, not because we don't want any more boys, but because we only want one girl! :haha: We both know there's no way we can handle more than 1 girl!:wacko:
 
Oh, Embo! Congratulations! You ARE going to have a baby this time! :flower:
 
Thanks ladies :)

Congrats Sara. It's lovely to see you in here :)
 
Hopeful did u measure round your tum? Just so i know so i can measure too :)
 
Pink, welcome and congrats honey! I’m so glad you’re getting an early scan. It will help ease your fears. You and Sara are having your bloods taken on the same day. It’s good to have some new BFPs in here. We’ve all been where you are now. It’s so scary. We’re here to support you through it. xo

Bumpy promise to keep us posted on your dad, ok? :hugs:

Hopeful, my mom uses a tracfone too!!! And she only turns it on in emergencies, which is NEVER. LOL! Luckily she’ll get a new computer soon and I’m making her get a webcam. I hope our cervixes cooperate and get longer. And yeah, it does seem weird that your babies went from round and chubby to long and lean! Let’s have round fruit again!

I just measured and I’m 37 inches! Holy crap! My waist has increased 10 inches!!!

Sara, thanks for sharing about your mom. That must make it especially hard to be so far away from her. It’s so lovely that she’s enjoying life to the fullest. We should all take note.

Pip, thanks luv. Such a nice post. I appreciate the reminder. I need a lot of them right now. I don’t blame Hopeful for joining B&B because of you. You are not only and inspiration but also a kind, caring friend. I’m working on the last of the baby blankets I plan to make. I just couldn’t resist the cute fabrics. I think I might try and do it. I’ve been lying down all day. I’ll post pics when I’m done.

Em, I can’t get over that nose! And it’s pretty exciting that you get to go back in 2 weeks! There can never be enough scans in my opinion.

Pups, I measured around my tum at the widest point.

I’m feeling better girls. Had a nice video chat with my hubby. Cried a bit. He was very reassuring and told me he’d take care of me for as long as I needed. My mom called and said she arrived home safely. I’m feeling more calm now.
 
Heart, if I could ever be half as inspiring or good with words as you I'll be very pleased with myself :smug:

Holy maloney! I'm 39" or 1m exactly. 1m! :shock:
It's the end of the day, though. I'm usually smaller in the morning...
 
Good point Pip. I'm going to measure first thing in the morning. Look at what you started Hopeful!
 
I'm 37 inches To exactly same heart! Is that average fir this stage? Pls say yes lol! I have put on about 8lbs now! I don't want to gain 50lbs! X
Heart my mums on holiday in Egypt an I cried when she went coz I talk to her everyday I see her probably once a month! But I can imagine how u felt my mum used to live in Spain an I used to sob my heart out every time! X
Tims home Tom do u can look forward to that! An hey u ur cervix was fine but there keeping an eye on u to b cautious which is good! X

Hopegul ur a banana! An a poorly banana! :( Wish you better sweetie x

Welcome pink x
 
Davies, I have no idea what is normal! Time to google! How funny that we're both exactly 37 inches. I wonder what Croy is!

Thanks for all the sweet words.

Hey, how did your tooth ever turn out? You aren't complaining about pain anymore. Did the dentist fix it?
 
Pup- yeah, measured the biggest point around, little below belly button.
Measured boobs too which were 40 ;)

Lol on the measurements, it's so much fun!

Heart- my mom only has hers on for emergencies too! And then she only uses it if she has to burn minutes. Really wish she had iPhone and FaceTime, that would just blow her mind
