Supporting each other until we all have our babies :) 2 wonderful babies born! !

[fuschia]

Carly I think those clear blue ones can have a funny 5 mins! Is it the 1st month you have used that stick?

I found when I used the clear blue ones that if I re used a stick q few mktnhs it got a bit confused!

So are you def out this cycle then hun? That sucks if so. Im 7dpo and really gonna try and wait this 1 out. I will be so proud if I achieve a whole cycle with no preg test taken! Xx

 

[Tmb0047]

Hey everyone :wave:
Thank you all for your kind words!

Fuschia - Have fun on your holiday. Just go with the flow....if you feel like testing before you go, then test....or just toss one in your suitcase....

Carly - Sorry this cycle is going to be a bust. Must be tough.

Laura - How are you feeling? Are you suck at all? Has Amy tested yet?

Molgold - How are you?

AFM - Still spotting and still producing strong positive HPT's. I'm going to test again in a few days and see if they start lightening. Not sure how long it will take but I've read it can take quite a few weeks. I've booked a follow up for the 20th and will request a HCG test if I still have positives by then. DH and I have both thought about what we want but have not yet shared our thoughts with each other. June was originally the last month of TTC before we booked DH a vasectomy.....I know I am not ready to give up on having one more, but I have to remind myself that I am not the only one who gets to make choices.....I guess we will need to talk....I just don't want to tell him what I want because I don't want him to agree to what I want if it's not what he wants....I want his feelings on things first. Sounds confusing, doesn't if?!

 

[fuschia]

Tmb hi

How are you feeling?

I totally understand what your saying about yours and hubbys chat. Its just so final having a vasectomy isn't it. But having a miscarriage is tough on both of you and you don't know how it would have affected him and made him feel about it.

How are your kiddies with it? Did they know you were pregnant? Xxxx

 

[Tmb0047]

Yes, they knew about the baby. My 10 year old son broke down....it broke my heart to see his reaction. Our 5 year old is upset but I don't think she fully understands. Our little one still lifts up my shirt, kisses my belly and says "baby". We all really loved the baby so much....I just can't imagine not having another one.

 

[fuschia]

Oh tmb that must be so heart breaking

Im so sorry your going through this its such a cruel thing to happen.

Perhaps hubby feels the same xxx

Big hugs xx

 

[laurac1988]

I'm sorry Tmb. I hope it is as least over as quickly as it can be for you xxxxxx

I'm having occasional nausea. Sore bbs. And stomach cramps. I'm just so nervous at the moment

 

[fuschia]

All of those symptoms are normal and a good sign as far as I remember! I def had cramps up to at least 8 weeks! I went and got a scan at 7 weeks because I was so nervous and it really eased my mind xxx

 

[fuschia]

I changed the name of the thread! Hadn't realised I could do this .
Let me know if you would prefer it to be something else x

 

[carlywarly]

Hey Tmb hun...bless you!! I think it was about 2-3 weeks after I started bleeding that I got negative tests...but I was 9 weeks so could be even longer for you! I hope you can leave limbo soon xx You and your husband will talk and decide where to go I am sure. Sending tonsa hugs.

Thanks Fuschia too - donor deffo still away and yep you could be right...this is month 2 using the sticks - stoopid tests. Why they say they are good for 2 months is beyond me! I know it doesn't really matter, what with not having a donation...but I like to keep track of where I am at, and what bod is doing. Blummin frustrating lol

Chart looking good - promising dip at 4dpo? I like the new name lots

Laura good luck to Amy too

Mol wheeere aaaare youuuuu??? lol How's it going?

 

[fuschia]

Im glad you like the new name carly

yes I had a big ole dip 4dpo but Im not excited as it was too early!

8dpo today and already feeling that disappointment of not being preggers! Its like im fast forwardingall my feelings at the moment! xx

 

[laurac1988]

If I could have picked a cycle where I told you I was definitely 100% not pregnant I would have said last cycle. I really thought AF was coming. I even blogged about it. Then next day - bfp!

 

[fuschia]

Thanks Laura

I appreciate that bit of encouragement ! I know it will happen at some point Im just getting to stage where i feel we will need a bit of help / investigation here! Its all gravy though ... how can I feel too hung up when I have my little girl !

Is Laura testing today at 10dpo?

It has just occured to me that to you i am only fuschia and I dont think you know my name! Im Emma x

 

[laurac1988]

Hey Emma
Assuming you mean Amy lol .no I don't think so. I think she's probably going to test on Thursday as she's off to a music festival on Friday. that will be 12dpo. Unfortunately her AF is due while she's living in a tent in a field for the weekend! Lol

 

[fuschia]

You guessed it I certainly did mean Amy!

Oh thats crummy timing for her! Im a bit put out that Im expecting af Sat/Sunday so will be here for majority of our holiday.

One good thing is that I have started using soft cups for af now and I find them really great! Especially for swimming etc! I have ordered a massive packet of those which I will collect from post office so theres a silver lining!

Hope your feeling ok and trying to relax! I know just how nerve wracking it can all be though! x

 

[laurac1988]

I love soft cups Amy uses a moon cup and she swears by the thing. I used it once and OMG THE PAIN! Did not like it one bit...

Yeah just trying to chill. Waiting for the midwife to call me back so I can get booked in

 

[Tmb0047]

Hey everyone!

Fischia (Emma!) - I love the name change I sure hope AF stays away for you.....seems like whenever we make vacation plans is when she is set to arrive!

Laura - AF while living in a tent sounds like hell! Can't wait to hear when she tests!

Carly - It really sucks that it can take so long for HCG to leave your system. I've put away my tests for now. I might take one on Friday to see if it has lightened at all. Then wait another week afterward.

Molgold - Where are you? Hopefully busy with something fun!

AFM - Sorry in advance for the story this will probably turn out to be.....

Bleeding is almost completely gone. I really want to make love to my DH. I feel like being close to him that way right now is something I need...unfortunately the doctors advised to wait two weeks....Not sure I'll wait quite that long.

DH and I talked about our next steps. I am very pleased to hear that he does not want to wait. Also, we know a Summer baby is bad timing for his work but he does not care and thinks it will be stupid to waste all those months not trying just so that it does not inconvenience his work. He works for a great company (they've proven that last week while we dealt with our loss). This makes me very happy

I have a follow up booked for the 20th of this month. If I am still testing positive I am going to request a blood test to check my numbers. Sadly, all I want to see right now is a negative test. Seems so strange. Also, I am going to request some provera or prometrium to take to get my next AF as I am sure it wont be arriving for quite some time on its own. If I can induce AF then I am going to give soy ISO a shot and see if it helps me ovulate at all. Lastly, I am going to request that I am referred to a fertility specialist so that I can get me a script for femara (incase the soy doesn't do the trick) as we know it works for me. I'm not sure I can handle this process if I am stuck dealing with 100+ day long cycles. I'm going to try my best not to become a crazy TTC'er!

I guess I wont know exactly how things will all pan out until after my appointment on the 20th. All I can do now is take care of myself, keep busy and start tracking my cycle. I am feeling very positive right now.....We WILL get our rainbow!

Thank you ladies so much .....Having you all to come talk to really makes things easier. It is so nice to be able to come on here and say whatever I need to and to have the support of other woman who understand.

 

[MolGold]

Thanks for asking for me ladies, yes I was busy with life - work and family came visiting. I had my nephew and niece visit me while AF showed ( heartbreaking, again) and that eased my pain.

I am so sorry Tmb for your huge loss.. sorry that I could not be here for you as well But I am happy you have decided not to wait. I hope you are well now

Laura I am so excited for your symptoms Emma, I hear you when you say that you feel jaded now with TTCing. Every cycle makes me less and less hopeful

 

[carlywarly]

Awwww I am sooo happy that you guys will try again soon Tmb!!! Hopefully it wont be long til you get your negative tests...as you say, how strange!

welcome back Mol hun - glad to hear all is well with you

Also getting excited for Amy and Emma testing!! Eeek xx

 

[fuschia]

Tmb that's really good news that you are in agreement with each other. That must be lovely to know your on the same page.
It must be frustrating to not be able to be intimate at the moment when you feel you need it more but fingers crossed it won't be long foryou and you will be on the road to have your rainbow baby.

Hi molgold great to have you back!

Xxx

 

[laurac1988]

Tmb I'm glad you both have a plan
Mol - good to see you. Sorry AF came x
Emma - it will happen. We tried on and off for two years and four months for this little bean

Amy tested today. Was BfN. Her usual AF symptoms are here so she says she is out, but I, still waiting for the witch to show up until we can say anything for sure
