Smiler - My consultant said of my 5 complete miscarriages its likely my body fights off boys, its more common than people think to be able to carry only 1 sex and only conclusive if you carry past 12 weeks so dan tests can be done to determine sex which is uncommon in people with this problem anyway.

My twin pregnancy only showed 1 baby on the scans, what i passed showed a twin pregnancy, 1 developed to only 5 weeks and the other 6-7, my body held onto this last pregnancy and at 9 weeks i was medically induced to miscarry but right away passed thick, brown, smelly gunk then the smaller sac, they suspect that had been sat inside me for some time and my body was holding onto the second pregnancy the bigger visible one.

They say this coincides with the likely possibility i had rejected a male pregnancy early on around the same 5-6 week time period of my others but my body was holding onto a little girl for longer which is why it was a MMC.

Today i popped into a baby shop in town and brought a white summer bonnet - it will be a girl

Bump2Baby who did your psychic reading, was that Gail123 or something? I had a reading done by her last year. She said a lot of interesting things about spirits around me etc which made a lot of sense. However she was totally wrong about pregnancies I'd had a reading done by someone else before her, who told me I'd conceive Sept - Nov. I thought she meant 2011 since that was when the reading was done but it didn't happen. However, now I'm due to start clomid in August, I wonder if it'll happen Sept-Nov 2012....

lilesmom I saw on the other thread you had a win that is so great You still planning on going to Lourdes? What are angel cards, how do they work? My MIL reads cards, but just a normal deck. She predicted my last 2 pregnancies but the last few times she read them she didn't see pregnancies So I stopped asking her to do them in case she never sees it again!!

Hope your blood tests come back okay. Do you know why your enzymes were elevated? I am so, so sorry to hear about your niece, that is tragic. I thought folic acid was just for spina bifida, I didn't know it could help prevent other things too. I will make sure I never miss another day's dose.

hello withlovemom how are you? So sorry for your loss

I think i told u on other thread but for ladys here.
doc told me not to fly early pregnancy so i post poned lourdes visit cos i reckon il be preggers real soon. im goin to knock with my mom next week instead, its in ireland
angels cards are speacial decks of cards u use to hear messages from the angels i love them, u can get all kinds of packs. if u r getting one just pick the one that appeals to u the most. i have been getting child card constantly in readings for last 3 yrs they also have instructions but u can draw them anyway u feel is right . anyone can do them u cant read them wrong. just make sure u dont adapt the message to suit what u want, other than that they r fool proof notthat i think that applies to any here but u know what i mean
the folic acid can help prevent so many problems it helps spine and nerve formation and brain formation v important stuff

Hi ladies! I love all the pma on this thread!

Liliesmom I'm so happy to hear how well you are doing!

 

[Bump2Baby]

I've just had my hair done, manicure, pedicure and sun bed - couldn't have a sun bed when preg so will now be preg over pasty winter months

 

[lilesMom]

arrggghhh come home Oh, im horny as hell with loads o cm . its perfect BD weather, hee hee i also seem to now get ov pain which i didnt get before loss. least i have lots of indicators that im goin back to normal cycle and timing be pretty good for OH coming home . its made me so hopefull for next month

 

[Eternity]

Ok ladies, need some help here as my PMA is dwindling!!

I was so positive for this cycle, and today is only cd8, and already my positivity is fading!!
We were a bit late starting the BDing, finally dtd last night due to smiley face on my opk, and temp is dipping but hasn't spiked yet so haven't Oed yet, so I know we are in with a chance but I dunno, just not all that hopeful tbh.

Really wanted it to be this cycle though due to our anniversary just after AF due next month!!!

 

[Smiler82]

Hello ladies

hope everyone has had a nice weekend

Eternity how early do you ovulate? If today is only CD 8 then hopefully you have got time to catch the egg!! All it takes is one strong swimmer....with both of my pregnancies there was a gap of about 4 days between DTD and ovulation so you never know. Take a deep breath (and carrying on !!!)

lilesmom I'm glad you went out; that the first time since your loss? It feels like such a big step doesn't it, funny how normal things seem huge. What film did you see? And how frustrating to feel up for it when OH is still away!! Does he go away often?

Does anyone else here have long cycles?? I'm only on CD 12 today, last cycle I didn't ovulate til CD 43 I am really hoping this won't be another long cycle. I was on progesterone last cycle to delay AF for my holiday so I'm hoping that somehow the extra progesterone in my system will have given my ovaries a bit of a rest and they can behave more normally this month! Fingers crossed!!

B2B sounds like you really treated yourself this weekend Think you deserve it and hope you enjoyed it!

 

[lilesMom]

eternity chin up babe, u totally have the best chance this cycle, u r doin everytihng right and giving urself best possible chance, dont be hard on urself hon xxx
when i got pregnant last time we only had sex one day (twice ) around ov cos i was away and i thought i was ruled out but i wasnt bets of luck honey xxxx

Smiler it was the first time, sad r what becoming a hermit ha ha
we went to see the new spiderman, i loved it, i love the cinema anyway
i dont know why i felt a bit nervous even about goin out , silly now looking back on it

its only the first time he has been sent away with work, bad timing maybe good timing, because i wouldnt be able to not try if he was here so might be better for me
he went away once before for 5 days and twice for a weekend away without me, so havent been apart that much in over 10 yrs
we will be mad about each other when he comes back, honeymoon period again i hope
i seem to be heading back to normal cycle already ( i hope so anyway), usually is 28 days so im lucky there, there r loads o girls on here with longer cycles though. the extra wait must be frustrating xxxxx

 

[Eternity]

Thanks girls!! Feeling a bit more optimistic.

Smiler I ovulate quite early, so far it's been cd13 and cd9, and then I have a 3ww instead of 2!

 

[Smiler82]

Lilesmom not sad or silly at all I remember feeling like I just wanted to hide from everyone all the time after my losses - to the point where I was looking up houses in the middle of nowhere I kept saying to DH I wanted to move to the countryside and have no neighbours or anything! I'm glad we didn't but at the time I wanted to move away so badly

It will be so lovely when OH gets home We're never apart much but occasionally DH has to go away overnight. Once he was away for 3 nights for work and I have never been so pleased to see him in all my life, couldn't keep my hands off When is he back?

Glad your cycles seem to be settling down Long cycles is such a pain. I get so nervous waiting to see if I'm going to OV then once that frustration is dealt with you have the TWW to get through. Tiring!!

 

[lilesMom]

hey hon, he is back in 2 weeks 6 days, not that im counting r anything ha ha
i cant wait then ttc can begin and i get cuddles all d time
i do live in the countryside but my family live close by and i do have neighbours so no fear of me
glad ur feeling bit better babe, hope it continues xxxxx

 

[Bump2Baby]

So proud of you all going out and remembering you have a life,are the same person and it will happen when the times right

I'm hoping my mc hasn't messed too much with my 28 day cycle and I still ovulate on or close to day 14!

 

[Smiler82]

I read that after a loss you may not ovulate on your cycle immediately after, so try not to worry if it doesn't happen, I'm sure everything will settle in time xx It's a hard place to be in I know, after my first I didn't ovulate for 12 weeks But then I'm weird anyway

 

[lilesMom]

u know when u say u didnt ovulate did u still get O sypmtoms but no O?
or no symptoms and no O?
just wondering cos i have symptoms and not doin opks
thanks xxx

 

[Smiler82]

lilesmom I'm prob not the best example because of the PCOS, but looking back at my charts - with my 1st I didn't have any EWCM or anything until a couple of days before I did ovulate. With my 2nd, I had multiple patches of EWCM, but my first cycle was anovulatory. Then the next cycle again I had 3 stages of EWCM before I finally ovulated. I don't get many signs with ovulation, so it's always hard to tell

 

[Bump2Baby]

I had a possitive OPK last tuesday that was faint the day before and negative the day after.
Today i noticed lots of fertile CM so did another and its saying in OV again lol
I think this cycles anovulatory and I'm just getting twinges and symptoms.
At least i know my bodies ready and wanting to OV for my first real cycle

 

[lilesMom]

my pma has taken a knock. i just got a call from my doc saying my liver enzymes r further elevated so she wants me to go to a consultant fast and not try till sorted. so annoying. i have been sick and allergy plagued for about 5 yrs on and off so maybe they cure me this time

 

[Smiler82]

Oh lilesmom I'm sorry howcome your liver enzymes are elevated and what does it mean exactly? Does she have any idea how long it might take to treat? I know it's so horrible to make the decision to stop TTC for a bit. We had a break from March - June this year and it was a really hard choice to make but we got through it. I just made a list of some things I wanted to do, like photography lessons, joined a book club etc to take my mind off it. It really did help. I hope you won't have to be on a break for too long but it's best for you and your future baby that you're as healthy as possible xxx

 

[Bump2Baby]

Lilies mum whatever it is they can make it better then you will be even healthier and more able to carry and grow a baby GL
