Hope all goes well - just think that any pain is worth it!!!

i`ve had 3 babies, the first 2 i didn`t feel much, the third was a different story, but when i look at him now it was worth every single second of it.

this is for your rainbow!!

sorry for the delay girls they were running an hour late at the clinic and then by the time we got home it was a round of dinner and bedtimes!

Anyway the appointment went as ok as expected, one test they did where they grow the cells on didn't work as the cells for one reason or another didn't grow but when they looked at the chromosomes they all showed as normal, so there is no underlying problem or reason it happened its just one of those things. Apparently miscarriages are very commons, 1 in 4 pregnancies end in miscarriage but its a lot rarer to miscarry after having a low risk nuchal scan, so we were just unlucky and there are no physical reasons for us to wait and she said for me to take folic acid (which i'm already doing) and to have a holiday (which we are already planning) and that in a future pregnancy then I would get an early scan then nuchal scan then abnormality scan and then growth scans from 28-39 weeks but the growths will be because my previous babies were on the small side and that if we don't clearly hear the hb at a mw appointment and I am at all concerned then they will scan me again then.
They were also able to tell us the sex and he was a boy.

Hi Anouska, glad all went ok - at least you know there are no underlying problems.
The doc i saw said the same to me that it was very unusal to MC after a healthy nuchal scan.

i`m still waiting to OV- don`t know what is oging on, but i am getting so fustrated, upset and worried . I just don`t know what to do.

There can be many reasons for ov to delay - stress being the major one to delay it - have you been poorly at all as well? Or mayb you ov'd earlier? Just try to relax hun, put the ov tests away for the rest of this cycle and enjoy making love with yr hubby and then if AF comes try again next cycle. Big

I had a spinal when I had the c-section with Ailsa and it really doesn't hurt - just a sharp prick like any other injection and then you get a warm feeling spread down yr legs and then you can't feel anything. You'll be find hun and it'll all be worth it in the end

Just changed my avatar to show OV test - what do you think - do these look the same to you?

 

[dancareoi]

Hi girls,

Just did another OPK and that too has two distinct dark lines - so we are all sytems go!

Have cancelled hubby`s night off. Quite amusing really, with 3 kids we are usually too tired to get up to too much usually!!! So hubby loves the idea of all the sex involved in trying for a baby. however I slightly misread my OV symptons this month so we have done the DB every night since last wednesday( sorry if TMI) so he was quite relieved to be given the night off!!!!!!!!!!!!

However, the next 24-48 hours are crucial so told him, tonight, tomorrow, thurs and poss friday to be sure - he just rolled his eyes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just hope there`s plenty of baby dust floating about for us.

I will be in the TWW club shortly.

Anouska do you have any plans now to TTC again now you know there is nothing specific to worry about?

Zoe, how did you get on today?

Tayla, how are you doing?

Hi Ladies,

Sorry for delaying in chatting.

At present, i am unemployed, temping today and tomorrow, MRI scan for my back Thursday and then i have a job interview Friday. Everytime i write something on here about another hospital appointment I actually bore myself so god knows how u lot feel keep reading it! MRI is because I had such bad back pain after Olivia (on top of already having Spina Biffida Occulta) so this is just to see if there is anything there. Currently, weare still not trying not preventing, i made a thread on Crohn's and a few ladies got back to me saying get well before you try so??? No, I have another hosp app 12th July (I think, haven't got the letter to hand and can't be bothered to get it, in a vile mood past few days-sorry) and still have not got letter through for the other colonoscopy. To say i am fed up with my life at the moment is an understatement - I have zero motivation and at times wish I wasn't born. Sorry to be drastic, I honestly do not want sympathy here. it's just how I feel at the moment. x

Hi Tayla, sorry you lost your job and that you are feeling down at the moment.

You are not boring us at all - we want to know how you are and we are here to offer our support and help you through it. Anything at all you want to say, just say it, that`s what we are all here for.

I am not sure how old you are are, I guess not getting on as i am, so it seems like good advice to try and sort things out for your own health first. i know it will be fustrating, because if you are like me, you just want to get on with things, but if you are still young, you have plenty of time.

How about a holiday? That might help to cheer you up?

 

[WILSMUM]

Tayla I agree with what Lisa said and you don't bore us at all, we#re here to listen and offer support and advice when we can. And I'm sure we all have dayswhere we struggle to find the motivatin - I know I do - its only natural I guess.

Lisa we were already ttc I guess but we're not going mad so its kinda more ntnp - i did all the ov tests and temping when we were ttc Ailsa and it was just so stressful, I have regular cycles and I kinda know around when I ov in my cycles now (around day 7-11) so we just pretty much dtd every other day from when af is finished for about 2 weeks!!!

i thought i knew my cycle, but this month it has gone a little wonky!! It does feel very regimented using the OPK tests, but I am so worried about my age that I just need things to happen as soon as possible!

we have DTD every night now for the last 6 days! hubby has gone to play football tonight, but has to go into action when he gets home, now that we have a positive OPK!!! I`m hoping by the time that little eggy gets released there will be that many sperms up there they will be fighting over it!!!

Hi everyone,

Just to update you that the surgery went fine. I am in great pain todAy. Sore back from the spinal injection, hand pain from the iv drip needle and whole body pain due to overly scared and tensed I guess. Finally just got out of bed to have a cup of tea.

Anouska, did your back hurt this much before? Or was it masked by the c-sect pain?

It was more of the anticipation that screwed up my head yesterday. I was really tensed and scared and without food and water since the night before. Overall, it was a horrible experience but I am glad it is over now and it was a successful one, I think.

I was told that the stitch didn't go as high as they would like it tone because my cervix had shortened to about 1.5cm but it will still hold. 'fingers-crossed'

Tayla, you just do whatever you have to do. We are here to listen. I read your other thread on Chrohn. It might not be such a good idea to heal yourself first but then again, it is your choice at the end of the day. Others only offer advice but if you think you can do it, then why not? A good friend of mine had polyps before and she meant to get it sorted before TTc. She kept delaying it and conceived. She had horrible pregnancy, threatened abortion since day 1 because polyps were growing together with the foetus but in the end, she pulled through. She has a healthy baby son now. Doctor even told her to abort because it was going to either harm her or the baby. She trusted God and kept her faith and it all worked for her. So yes, it was her decision in the end and she pulled through. You do whatever you think it's best for you.

Lisa, on the opk. I didn't see the avatar but sounded like you had a positive?

Right. Back to bed to nurse my achy back.

I'm in dilemma. I am trying to think of places to go during the diamond jubilee weekend. everywhere good and nice are fully booked. i am not sure if i can fly either. i've researched extensively online and most ladies said their doctors forbid them to fly because 1) they'll be in another country - non accessible to medical care or 2) they are far too along in their pregnancies. Nobody actually said the flying causes harm...

It's my due date for 1st pregnancy that weekend and I really don't want to be home for that because I gave birth to him at home. I can only think of escaping to my in-laws' in Scotland which is only 1hr 15mins flight or 8 hours drive. Tickets are getting more and more expensive now if I don't book it ASAP. I won't be speaking to my consultant until 29 May. By then it would be too late to get tickets, I reckon. I will be 15++weeks by then. I lost Cocopop at 16weeks.

On another note, my goodfriend who got pregnant about the same time as me is now 37 weeks so she is due anytime. She is having a boy and Cocopop was a boy. If she lasts until jubilee weekend, I would be really crushed. I don't know how will I be able to meet this kid of hers.

 

[Miss Mitch]

I'm 23, I just feel like it's one thing after another atm ya know? I wish a holiday was an option, i could sure use one!

Also, i'm 2 days late for my period, have done a test, not pregnant, but no signs of af? What the hell is wrong with me! I must have been a ******* in a previous life xx

I believe it is ok to fly until quite late on, if your doc agrees. My sister flew when she was 3 months, that was after 2 MMC!

If it was me, I would not feel happy flying and would rather just go somewhere in this country that I could just drive to.

you are in London aren`t you, so what about driving to South Wales.
We go to South Wales all the time, we stop in Saundersfoot which is a lovely seaside village which is close to Tenby, from London straight down the M4.

There are loads of lovely hotels and guest houses around, I`m sure if you googled it you would find some availability.

As i have already said, we are going to Euro Disney on 5th June for 4 nights. My due date was 15th June, but my LO would have been early, so around the time we are going away.

Let us know if you sort anything out!

Hi Tayla, you sound really down, try not to be too hard on yourself, you are still so young -an absolute spring chicken to an old codger like me!!!!

I know it seems everything is against you, but look on the bright side, things can only get better.

Strange about your AF, although when I was PG with my first I had two BFN before a BFP. My last AF with him was 20 jan but my BFP didn`t show until end of March - however at that time I didn`t know my body signs and my AF was always irregular, but never that much so!!

Try to relax and not get stressed too much, I am sure everything will work out fine.

 

[Miss Mitch]

I know it could be worse, I need to be more positive but t is soo hard atm! Anyway, hope yiu are all ok xx

 

[dancareoi]

That`s what I`m trying to do now, stay positive and hopefully that will help.

Think I actually OV`d yesterday as my temps have been around 36.4 - 36.5 when I get up in the morning and today it was 37.1.

Keeping FX that this is my month.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[Miss Mitch]

Well, still no period!!!
Ooh fingers crossed for youxx

 

[WILSMUM]

Zoe - I don't remember having bad backache after - but I did get an itchy rash up my back!!!

We're off to Scotland for a week in August over babies due date, we actually leave on his due date and come back the day after my birthday.
