Haha erika.. mine is still there but turning brown already.. was going between the two for a bit cuz i was more active.. but hopefully soon.. I think in the next 2 weeks.. We were having sex a ton lol in the end.. not so much in the beg. I was having sex dreams last night.. think its cuz im in the mood already and i cant till after my 6 week checkup. almost 2 weeks down.. I think i will prob get af too before my appt but we will see..

My annoying thing is my boobs are still leaking a bit so no warm shower yet.. I just want to take a nice hot shower..lol

Lol, how bad is it then that Eden is nearly 13 weeks old and OH and I have still not DTD? We just never seem to have the time... either he's too tired or I am... plus he now goes to bed at like, 10pm or whatever and I stay up till 12/1am for Eden's midnight feed so we're going to bed at different times, then he gets up to do her 8am feed and I stay in bed till 9. Plus I feel really weird about doing it with Eden in the room!

hi, i had a bfp in August 2011 (wasn't actually trying but i know i was infertile for a whole year as i was not ovulating properly)

miscarried in September 2011 at 7weeks.

got another BFP in December 2011

happened to be ectopic

so had my tube removed in End of January 2012.

do you girls think that my ectopic was the result of not waiting the proper time in order to get pregnant again?

Some doctors say that one has to wait for at least 3 months in order to try again.

i also had the Methotrexate shot but my tube got ruptured. So had to remove tube as well.

Isobel I had a loss at 22 weeks in Dec 2010 and two weeks later at my check up my doc said it we could try again immediately if we wanted too. Different doctors say different things but my personel belief is that you wont get pregnant until your body is healed and ready. I think it was just a fluke the baby didnt implant in the proper location.

 

[lilrojo]

I agree with Erika on that Isabel.. Because I miscarried in May and was pregnant again in June, now im holding my miracle in my arms right now.. so i agree that it was probably just a fluke.. most drs say to wait till after you have af.. though im obviously a positive that you dont have too.. many women dont..

Haha Rachel.. hope you find the time to get back to sexy time soon.. lol I cant wait.. So did you all go back on BCPs then or no.. Im thinking i wont..

on the topic of bleeding/DTD....my loss went to the brownish discharge stuff but that has lingered on for the last week or two now, also i started on the mini pill and the doc said that could make me spot for up to 3 months periodically so not sure if its still loss or spotting now....however me and DH did sort of DTD after about 2 and a half weeks but i wasn't on the pill yet and two scared to get preggo again so we had to modify things a bit....darragh was in the room, i thought that would be weird but it wasn't really as he was out for the count - if he was awake or only half asleep and wriggling about i think that would have been different....

glad things are going so well logan. 3 hourly feeds sounds good. darragh is still on 2 hourly and occasionally has feeding frenzies of hourly feeds - usually just before bed as well. although he has started sleeping for 4 hours when i first put him down at night....

wheres jen?

 

[DrGomps]

erika, thats rough that you are still bleeding...hope you can DTD soon. mine changed to spotting around 3 weeks and stopped at 4...started the minimill around 8 weeks and no spotting since or bleeding.

Rachel, we didn't dtd until like 14 weeks I think....wasn't great (for me). Going to have to work on that.

Hi Isabel. Sorry for your loss hun. definitely don't think the ectopic is due to not waiting

 

[truthbtold]

Andrea you had stitches its never great after stitches but it does get better after a few more times. Even though my stitches were healed it would still feel painful for some reason.

I usually stop bleeding around 3 or 4 weeks. Im assuming after 4 deliveries my body is taking its precious time. It looks promising that it might stop but i wont get my hopes up.

Logan birth control whats that lol. No birth control here but I have never been able to take them anyway The hormones cause me to gey cyst. So the pull out method it is. It worked very well for a year in a half lol

 

[lilrojo]

I too have a small cyst on my left ovary going to talk to my dr about it he said no worry if no pain but i have had some minor discomfort on that side so going to ask about it... i just want to wait till were done having kids to be back on bcps whatever happens happens

hey all! have been updating my journal some but mostly typing one-handed so keeping it short. little samuel nicholas came at 359 pm on wed the 22nd. 8 lbs 4.3 oz and 20 in long. fuzzy blond hair like a little duckling and he is the most laid-back baby ever unless he's hungry in which case he goes ballistic and it's so stinkin funny. and he is suuuuuper cuddly. just wants to snuggle up to me for hours. i just ordered a moby since i'm pretty sure he'll love it.

dh goes back to work tom... anxious to settle into a routine.

hope everyone is well!

 

[lilrojo]

Said in your journal but so happpy for you Jen.. getting into a routine is great.. felt great to get into ours.. cant believe you boy is almost one week and mine is almost 2 weeks.. time is flying..

 

[sspencer99]

He sounds wonderful how is Thomas coping with beig the BIG brother xxxx

 

[Sun_Flower]

Just coming across from Tracey's Journal - SHE'S HAVING TWINS TOO!!!!!! Two sets of twins in here, oh my god!!!!!!!!

 

[FloridaGirl21]

Eeek! My eyes bugged outta my head when I read your post Raych!

Congrats Tracey!

 

[sspencer99]

omg yay twins
we all knew it hehe soooooo excited for you tracey xx

 

[QueenVic]

Thanks Raych, just posted in her journal, I am so excited for her she really deserves this !!

AFM - why did no-one warn me how hard it is on your own Mum went back yesterday and WOW wat a difference when u have no help.. Steve was at work for 6.30am and he's getting back about 6.30pm.. H has had the worst wind and screamed or cried nearly all day, gees.. I didn't get to eat until gone 1pm and managed a 3 minute shower at 4pm !
No chance of getting out for our planned walk
It's funny because just Sunday me and mum were saying how much better he was getting and how good he had been the last few days, totally jinxed ourselves !

Jen you lucky devil having a laid back one, I can't wait for Harrys wind to sort itself out, he'd be great then, hehe

Hope everyone else is well

 

[lilrojo]

Wahoo congrats Tracey.. so happy for you like the others said you certainly deserve this..

Vicki hope all works itself out soon..

I got a laid back one too.. Bryce is so wonderful.. He sleeps so much and only really cries when he is hungry or has a burp.. also if he needs a new diaper.. but thats it..he is great..He also sleeps for a good 3 hrs at night only waking twice at most 3 times to eat.. wonderful.. McKenna was up all the time.. she had her days and night so mixed up..Im so in love with my family and my life, cant wait to add the third..

 

[Traskey]

Just caught up after the weekend away. Loads of lovely news. Happy babies, new babies, growing babies and getting better babies.

I hope that all of you still bleeding see an end to it soon.

Vic, I think everyone finds it mega hard when you are on your own. You don't get time to eat or anything.

Jen, it's good to see you when you have your hands full! Well, all of you do really

Thank you to everyone that popped into my journal. Yes, it's TWINS!!!! We are frankly blown away and still stunned but very happy.

 

[sept10]

Vic - exact same for me, my mum went and allof a sudden he got more demanding and cried more and well thats what it felt like but i think its just cause the help isn't there so everything is amplified!! You'll be fine though, you'll get into a routine and things will settle down. Darragh went through the crying all day thin gand its just settleing down again now apart form the odd time.

we've tried expressing and giving darragh the odd bottle to get him used to it so i can get out and aboout and leave him with his dad but not going well so far - he hates the bottle, he will eventually take it but only from me not his dad....hmmmm.....have to say i was hoping this would go better, i'm still bfing really hard and not very comfortable or enjoyable and there is no way i'll be doing it in public any time soon....looks like i'm confined to the house other then 1-2 hour intervals for a while yet!!!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Sarah - have you tried cup feeding if Darragh won't take a bottle? it's a bit messy to begin with but gets easier - a Doidy cup is best (can get them online and from some supermarkets/ mothercare) also if he won't take a bottle from OH, you can try having him hold a shirt you've been wearing while feeding Darragh to begin with (or a muslin with a little bit of breastmilk on, I know it's gross but if he can smell it he might be a bit happier with OH) - just some random tips I picked up from my breastfeeding friends, they might work, might not! xx
