[bananas2]

Excellent poptart so happy for u!!!!

 

[thethomsons]

Pop tart I actually felt a bit emotional reading your post. Can't explain how happy I am for you!! Will reply more in detail later but and in massive hugs xxx

 

[dodgercpkl]

Oh Poptart!! YAY!! I'm so beyond the moon thrilled for you!! Did you get pics?!

 

[Lou15]

Congratulations PopTart, so pleased for you! Brilliant news xx

How is your sickness going? What are you managing to eat? I am only 5w5d and although not actually been sick yet, I have terrible nausea all the time and am mostly now just managing weetabix, baked potatoes and other odd bits and pieces. I am very worried as still a long way to go before peak nausea time! Any suggestions of foods you are managing?

 

[mannymoo]

Lou - do you get Salti cracks there? I had very bad nausea with second pregnancy and they were amazing! Also, do you get rooibos (red bush) tea there? It helped me too with nausea and its really good for you too.

 

[CherylC3]

Aw amazing pop tart how far on are u again Hun?.xx

 

[horseypants]

yay poptart! thanks for the nice long description. best read of the morning xo

 

[Lou15]

Thanks so much Manny, I'm willing to try anything! Definitely can get Red Bush tea here, so I will try it. No Salti Cracks but could prob get something similar...and there's a shop in town with a good selection of South African foods so I will have a look there xxx

 

[Lou15]

Babygabelt, just wondering how you are doing today? I just saw what you wrote about your niece and nephew, and it made me so sad for you. I'm so sorry for your losses. We also have some lovely nieces and a nephew who are sad that their baby cousin died in my tummy. Fortunately they didn't know about the second pregnancy.
I am very impressed that you are being quite relaxed about trying again- since m/c the first time I feel like I have done nothing but pee on sticks!
Your next pregnancy will be a worrying time, but I'm sure that you will learn to start enjoying it, especially with the help of us 3rd time lucky ladies and hopefully a bit of extra care from your Dr. Good luck and best wishes xxx

Hi Girls, First of all can I say I am soo happy for Lou and Pop Tart for having lovely scans and good news this week, it really give me hope for the hopefully near future.

Cheryl, BabyG, Dodger, horseypants, mannymoo and bananas - Hope you guys are all doing ok.

AFM I'm feeling a bit flat today. Knew that I would get days like these but still rubbish. Was back at work today which actually was a welcome distraction but the first person I saw when I arrived was a lady I know who has come back to work at our school and she asked me how old Flynn is. When I told her he is now 4 and doing great, she said "Oh you should be having another by now!". I felt like I wanted the world to swallow me up whilst shouting at the top of my voice WELL ITS NOT LIKE WE ARE NOT TRYING ( Anyway as you do I laughed it off and changed the subject.

So later I hear DH on phone to his mum and not sure if I have mentioned it but my SIL is pregnant and is three weeks in front of what I should be, (which is horrible but not a thing I can do). So they are talking about my MIL getting a new car and without thinking DH said yeah well you will have Flynn, Olivia (my niece) and a new baby to fit in it so make sure it is a good size. It again hit me like a slap in the face that there will be a new baby in her car but it's not coming from us. There should be two babies to think about, but ours didn't make it. Sorry girls I just feel so flat today, wish I could shake myself out of it.
I also did a PG test and an OV test and though the PG test is extremely faint, it is definitely still there. The OV test has a major negative and doesn't look like it's going to turn positive any time soon. DH and I have DTD quite a bit over last week or so but I know it's not going to make me PG, more for fun.
My friend at work told my boss today about my 2nd MC as I am not comfortable speaking to my boss as she is quite intimidating and I just get upset. Seemingly she was very supportive and glad I had asked my friend to let her know. She wont mention anything to me though as I have requested that we don't discuss it at work as I need to be ok for my class and no one at school knows anyway apart from my two closest colleagues/friends.
Anyway sorry for being so depressing but thought if I wrote (typed) it down then it might help.
Just wish I could be PG and passed 12 weeks and able to look forward to a very much wanted baby but time just seems to stop.
I have the blood tests on 20th September but was hoping may have OV by then and be a step further forward but the way things are going I feel like going to be long wait. Not knowing is a total killer.

Thanks for letting me vent. Sometimes this 2 m/c scenario is bloody hard. xx

 

[mannymoo]

Oh Elaine I'm so sorry you've had one of "those" days but I did smile a little because if you search my recent posts you will see that I had the exact same vent this morning of a different thread!! My sil is due in 3 weeks - one week after my first was due and I find it really hard. This morning she sent a whole lot of photos and it just knocked the wind out of me. I just kept thinking that should be me!!!
We're allowed to have bad days and we all will get down about our lost babies from time to time. But tomorrow is a whole new day and your opk will turn positive one day soon.
Lots of great big hugs to you. Hope tomorrow is a happier day.
Night all xxx

 

[bananas2]

Sorry u had a rubbish day yesterday elaine! They are horrible with me its a friend we both had a mc together my 1st in april and now she pg again and everything is going well..I'm pleased for her but just winds me up...why can't that be me!!!

FYI ladies nothing much going on we me apart from peeing on a stick everyday but still no smiley face! Will let u know when I'm in the tww!

Take care everyone!!!

 

[thethomsons]

Still no positive opk for me either bananas, maybe we will face it together then 2ww, fingers crossed!
Feel little more human today xx

 

[bananas2]

Glad ur feeling better today!!!

Me and DH are just gonna keep going every other day and least I've got a 21 day progesterone test this month so that will confirm if I ovulated at all!

 

[mannymoo]

Oh ladies - really hope you Ov soon!

I find that I am fine with friends / family that are pregnant after struggling or having mcs. One of my very dear friends is 4 months preg after a mc last April and TTC for 14 months after that and I am over the moon for her. She can call me every day and tell me about it and I'm fine. Its the people who have no idea how difficult it can be and then constantly rub it in your face that annoy me!

Elaine - glad your feeling better today.

Preg ladies - hope your all feeling great and baking your little buns well? Cheryl do you know when you will get your first scan?

Dodge - how are you doing? You must also be coming close to Ov time?

FMS nothing much. Sore boobs were only there for a day so I thin it was just prog. Not feeling anything really. 4DPO today so still a while to go. Really really want it to be this cycle. I got really down about it yesterday. Preg ladies - when did you first start getting symptoms of pregnancy? and what were they?

xx

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Hey hunnies can i Join you... i sadly fit into hoping to be 3rd time lucky :/

ive had 2 miscarriages back to back... im still on the same cycle of my last miscarriage and really hoping and praying that i do become third time lucky. OH is swaying more to not having anymore children... but im not sure if hes just hurt from the losses etc?

my chart is abit screwy at the minute, but i could be anywhere around 8-13DPO :/... ive got lots of pregnancy symptoms, really high temp, really high cervix, vivid dreams, crampy feeling going on, nausea, feeling like ive got a cold, thirsty, and weeing more etc... but yet tests say BFN

Fingers crossed for all of our BFPs x

 

[CherylC3]

Hey ladies hoping the 2ww is going ok. My scan is on wed at 9am I'm shitting myself plus just had my second lot of bloods done hoping to get the results tomoro afternoon. Xx

 

[Babee_Bugs]

Goodluck cheryl

Ive been testing like a Nutter! but i think im only 8dpo roughly

 

[garfie]

Hi Ladies hope you are all okay and enjoying your pregnancies.

Please may I join your thread Mannymoo directed me here.

I have two children from a previous marriage and have been trying for a third with my new hubby for 2 years - unfortunately we have had two m/c and I am now on the 3rd cycle after my DNC.

I have no idea where I am at as I have been away on holiday and decided not to temp, OPK etc I know I am on CD21 (usually have a 24 day cycle) but was is usual after a loss? so at the moment I am not sure if I even O.

Last month cycle was 19days and I didn't even get to POAS - so hopefully at least I will, but to be honest just knowing my body is getting back to normal is enough for now.

Good luck ladies and I'm sure I will get to know you all a bit better as we carry on our journey.
