Hey ladies

Sorry not been working at home recently, means less time online!!

Mommylov so sad to see temp drop but I think 1 more cycle at 100 is good. I was on clomid for PCOS and just seemed to be the dose that worked.

All fine with me, bump growing and felt more movement dinner time noe tho so must go! Will catch up again v soon xxx

 

[mommylov]

Enjoy your dinner and great to hear that bub is moving away in your tummy!

Im thinking so too. I was told I dont have PCOS but I hope that this all does the trick. The good progesterone level this month has my hopes up for next month.

 

[babybemine]

BFN on early response. 6 days until AF is due to come. Moving into our house this saturday...so far busy with painting and packing.

 

[mommylov]

6 days is still very early! Hope the move goes well this weekend and you get your bfp once you are in your new home

 

[Smiler82]

mommylov I think the good progesterone levels really are a great sign and is def worth being positive about. I really think this time has been successful (so far) because of a stronger ovulation, healthier egg, better progesterone levels and also the aspirin on top. Keep listening to the visualization track! Also I don't know if this was just complete coincidence or what, but the cycle I decided to stop drinking caffeine and alcohol from AF onwards was the cycle I fell pg. Who knows, but could be worth a try!

I am really sad because my sis lost the baby Am really upset for them. Was so nice to be chatting about pregnancy etc together for the short time we were able to. It's just so sad when this happens I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Was really hopeful that it'd turn out to be nothing and it'd all be ok but sadly not.

Nothing much else to report from me, other than all is fine at the mo. Just got frustrated when I went shopping today as I just can't decide what to do about maternity wear. The weather is just so crazy I don't want to spend money on warm clothes only to find I need to buy cooler stuff in a month or two. Stupid weather!

 

[lilesMom]

hi guys xx

smiler im so sorry about ur sis, hugs for u and her xxxxxxxx
sorry it didnt turn out ok , was hoping it would xxxxxx
hope ur sis is ok xxxxxxx

hurray for movement hon,its so nice to feel isnt it xx
as for maternity clothes dont buy much warm things hon, in a few weeks u wil be feeling warmer most of the time anyway, what i did was buy 2 mat trousers, couple of stretchy t-shirty tops in bigger size and my cardigans r fine anyway . i also got 2 mat hoodys for when it is cold. ive been layering lots cos i find when i go inside anywhere im roasting new look has some nice cheap ish mat tops . its where i got all my mat clothes, couldnt find nice comfy affordable ones anywhere else.
i wore my mat things more when bump was smaller, most days now i just wear my own stuff that has some give in it and i do live in my mat trousers alright

amy how r u hon?

babybemine its super early hon xxx fx for u xxxxxxxx

hi and hugs to all. xxxxxx

no news with me, went to hosp with my bro and sil today to mind their kiddies outside while they had scan, they have 2 little girls , one who is 1.5 ish , other is 9 months, they were so good scan went well thank god

 

[mommylov]

Smiler, so sad to hear about your sis Was this her first? I feel the same way about the cycling not being a total bust. I was really happy to see my progesterone be that high. I cut out caffeine a long time ago but not gonna lie I did have just one glass of Pepsi yesterday and day before but that's it. Been drinking decaf Lipton tea in the morning because that's all they have at work that I can drink. That's safe to drink, right ? I know I shouldn't have green tea and I don't think this is. I think it's black.

Laura, so happy thier scan went well!

Happy Friday everyone!!

 

[babybemine]

any of the pregnant ladies.....anyone have burning nipples? ouch

 

[lilesMom]

def have babybemine,they can be burny, itchy or sore
in patches but more so early on in preg , it went away for months and is back again now. fx for u xxxxxxxxx

hi and hugs to all, ive no news xxxxxxx all fine

 

[Smiler82]

Hey ladies
Sorry this'll be quick as am on phone and hate typing on it!!

Thanks guysm haven't heard from my sis apart to say she just wamts to be left alone for a bit so fair enough. Will try her nxt wk. Mommylov no she,has got 2 already but I don't know if that makes it any easier...but my friend had a mc, then baby, then a mc and she said 2nd was easier.

Think green tea is kind of ok but can deplete folic acid levels I think? Not sure by how much. I have the odd cup as I like it, but not often!

Lilesmom glad your sil's scan went well how far along is she? Ta,for mat clothes advice!! New Look has some nice tops not sure about jeans as they look too big for me, but my normal jeans are too small, annoying!

Was so cool other night, felt baby moving, Dh put his head on my tum and hefelt it!! Didn t think he was right as so early bjt put my hand on and I felt it too. Look on his face was pirceless

Babybemine my boobs have never hurt at al except when it gets cold then is.v painful haha

Ok this is quite long! Hope you're all having a lovely wkend xx

 

[lilesMom]

smiler have u tried the extendy things for ur jeans or is ur bump gone beyond that?
i got palazzo pants in new look, i got 2 identical pairs cos i like um
i never ever wear jeans, i am one of very few people who dont find um comfy

aw thats so cute with ur hubby every time i used to call OH bub would go quiet , , doh!!

i did the same as ur sis for a bit after mmc, didnt feel up to people, everyone is different. hope she starts to feel better soon. xxxxxxx
its not any easier or harder i think to have kids already with mc.
u do have comfort of knowing u can carry to ful term but u also know exactly what ur losing. its just hard full stop with loss i think, hugs for u and ur sis xxxxxxx

hi and hugs to all, xxxxxxx

so my back was a million times better yest , so dooda here had a 30 min walk in morn, thats fine but then last nt i was in the mood again so did 50 mins on tmil again.
this morn my cat attacked my bare legs again ( normal for my cat . he thinks its fun ) and what ever way i jerked it feels like someone is stickin a poker into the groin strain i already had. doh!!! i couldnt even walk for a bit, had to hop to my couch .
feck it anyway, i was just gettin it better . doh!!!

 

[Smiler82]

Yeah I was the same after my losses I totally retreated for a while, seeing people and going out etc was just way too much. I also thought perhaps having kids already would mean you know what you're missing out on, whenever I saw my niece and nephew after my losses I would sit there and think that's what we should have. And to see how lovely they are together as bro and sis, to know there should've been another must be hard. But my friend said having kids means you just have to focus on them and get on with it and for her it meant it was easier to deal with than her first loss. But yeah everyone is different. Am going to get in touch with my sis tomorrow and see how she is. I was thinking of sending her a little gift but not sure if it is OTT...you would think I'd know after losing two myself but yeah I am just so conscious that not everyone feels the same. The flowers I got meant a lot to me, and I bought myself some jewellery. For me it was just nice to have something as a little reminder.

Oh Lilesmom sorry about your back how is it feeling today?

I got into my skinny jeans today I put a hairband through and looped it over the button and ta dah! Think that trick will see me through another few weeks, then hopefully it'll start getting warm enough for leggings and skirts etc.

Mommylov how are you? Are you on 100mg again this cycle then? Any side effects?

Hope everyone is ok xxx

 

[mommylov]

Hi smiler! Yay for getting into your jeans a smart with the hair band! Yes, I'm on 100mg again this time but I will be taking tussin before and during O. Also switched from Preseed to Yes Baby. Hope these changes will do it!

Happy Sunday everyone!

 

[lilesMom]

smiler i think a gift is a lovely idea, my bro and sil got me a tree, its a cherry blossom, i lost lile in may so it will always bloom for her anniversary
my mom got me a lovely little keepsake in a box, its a bronze lady holding a baby and a poem in the box too. my bro in law got me an angel baby held in a hand.
it was so nice to get um. but of course i also bawled cos i thought its the only presents my bub would ever get.
u cant win really but i think its a lovely idea xx
it made me feel like someone else genuinely cared for bub i lost and me xx
there is a website that actually sells keepsakes for mc, im not sure what it was called but if u google keepsake and mementoes it should come up.
hurray for hairband i was just gonna post same thing to u , i read a woman in a mag doin the same
my back is a good bit better today, its actually pain in my groin and left hip is my problem for last week. its been pretty sore, lots better tonight thank god.
how r u doin now?

happy sunday amy xxxxxxxxxxx

hi and hugs to all.

i went to my sis group meditation today, was lovely

 

[Smiler82]

Lilesmom that is so lovely you got those gifts, what a thoughtful family you have. With our first we got flowers from DH's parents, his sister and one of my uni friends. We also got some cards with lovely words in. It meant a lot to me that they sent them. With our 2nd we got flowers again from my in laws, but that was it. I know it sounds a little selfish but I was upset, but I kind of felt like our first child got attention and our 2nd didn't...sounds silly I know but that's how I felt. And thinking about it now, I had forgotten how hard it was when the flowers died and I had to throw them out. Perhaps something she can put in the garden, like your tree is a better idea. Will google gift ideas too thanks x

Glad to hear your pain is getting better, that's good. Have you been resting? I sometimes find my hips get painful in bed, I'm trying to make sure I sleep on my side now but sometimes they ache so much I just have to go on my back. I know you shouldn't really but sometimes it really is the only way I can get to sleep

Ooh meditation sounds lovely Must look up hypnobirthing! Have you been doing that?

x

 

[lilesMom]

our thoughts tend to go a bit whacky when grieving
i know what u mean though about more attention to first bub.
my Sil lost bub before me and i did give um flowers for garden and a prayer.
i think its nice to mark it some how so they know u appreciate what they r goin through xx i def appreciated it anyway
yeah ive been resting but doin slow walk few times a day on tmil too, none today though. its important to keep moving a bit too, warm baths and hot water bottles r back on the menu too
im the same with my hips, when they get too bad i sleep sitting up i put about 4 pillows behind me so im on my back but not on my back
yeah ive been doin hypnbirthing cds, i have 2 lots of um, one borrowed from my sil and one i bought with a book i listen to um at least once a day, i always fall asleep now though

 

[mommylov]

Good Morning Ladies! Happy Monday
