Hi all, just popping by to wish everyone a very happy, prosperous and BFP filled year.

Jenn, wow, where did the time go, good luck with baby Reid.

Regina, bummer! At least you know there is a problem that can be sorted, lets hope sooner rather than later. Concentrating on Sean is a very good idea. During my hell year of 2012, all I could think about was my lost babies and TTC and probably didnt spend the time I should have done with my DS who was only 2 at the time.

I feel a little down these days, hitting me again that there won't be any more babies. I need to follow Regina and concentrate on what I have not obsessing on what I don't have, which is excellent advice, perhaps if I could follow that I would feel happier!

Anyway, hope everyone has a fab new year. Probably wont stay up til 12 as I get too tired, but we are in Wales at the moment and in the village we stop in the have a giant fire work display at 12 which goes on for about 10 mins and always wakes me up each year, so I watch the fireworks out the window.

Good luck to our Imminent 2015 arrivals.

Regina, please do stay with us, we want to follow you on your WTT and TTC journey.

Becks, if you're lurking, hope you are holding up!

Happy new year to all xxx

 

[crysshae]

Regina - I hope it doesn't take long at all to sort out. You have such a great attitude. Of course you must stay!

Jenn - How exciting! Not long now!

Lisa - Hope your spirits are lifted soon.

Jo and Becks - Hope you are doing well.

Happy New Year to all of you!!!

My idea of heaven, high fat and high calorie diet!

Heading down to village later to watch the annual swim. Over 1000 people went in the sea last year. It's a massive event and the village will be so busy. More people around than in the summer.

 

[Left wonderin]

Swimming in that weather !!! People are bonkers ! I'm off out for a carvery lunch

 

[dancareoi]

1521 swimmers went in the sea today, most in fancy dress!

Swim was started by x-factory's Jay James as he is from Saundersfoot.

The swim started at 12.30pm, but all the pubs were still rammed this evening, inside and out - great atmosphere.

Hope everyone else had a good day.

Regina, next event for you I guess in Sean's 1st birthday!

Our next event is a skiing holiday to Italy, we go 6 weeks Sunday. Worrying though how it will be with Caitlin. Everyone else is looking forward to it, but I'm thinking about all the practical things like, nappies, baby food,milk, keeping Caitlin still a d quiet for 2 hours on plane and then 2 hours on coach!

She will then be in childcare everyday for 6 hours a day, she's just started going to crèche at gym And cries her eyes out when I drop her and the most she's done there is 1 1/2 hours!

 

[Left wonderin]

Dance that's some adventure . We are going on hols to Portugal for a week with my mum and dad leaving the day after Sean's first birthday . I actually cannot believe I'm even saying that !!! Where did that year go ! Do they all go that quickly ??

The plane thing we too will have to negotiate . Sean doesn't like to sit still !! We will be the annoying people with the bawling baby on the plane no one wants to sit beside lol....
Will you have a choice re crèche ? If she really doesn't like it ? Could you take turns sking ??

 

[dancareoi]

We have paid for crèche so she'll have to like it!

And yes they do grow that quickly, my oldest baby is 13 and I don't know where the time has gone.

I've just emailed the reps in our resort today, so hoping for some helpful info off them.

Dd 10 had a Galaxy Samsung tab for Xmas and we believe we have found a Disney Junior app of Sheriff Callie (Caitlin's favourite) that we are going to try and down load. Then if she's being a monkey we can put that on.

Our flight is 7.20 am, so will need to wake kids about 4.30 am. Also as pushchair is going on plane, we will put her on her reigns and let her walk around the airport. Will also try and give her breakfast at the airport. Hoping she'll be tired and sleep on plane. Just have 2 hour coach journey then though!

Got a bargain in Aldi before Christmas. Bought ski jacket and ski trousers for DS 13 and DD 10 for £15 a set! snow suit for Caitlin for £9.99!

Hi all,

Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. It sounds like you are getting organised for the hols. Yes, technology is great for keeping them amused, fingers crossed for you the travelling will go without a hitch.

Becks - are you ok? I hope so.

Sorry that I have not been on much, still keeping busy and getting back into things. My New Year's resolution is to be more organised lol.

Another mammoth cycle, this is the longest one I think. Hey ho, hope it finishes soon. If my temps were up I would be getting excited, despite it feeling like a miracle. The 3rd of Jan came and went (anniversary of my angel) but it wasn't as bad so although I will never forget, hopefully it is getting easier. Hope everyone else who have a Jan anniversary are ok.

Take care.

 

[Left wonderin]

Jo your LO will never ever be forgotten . I toyed with the idea of going to the mc memorial in the cemetery on mine . I had gone once before on my first due date . But I felt it wasn't the right place to remember them .

I instead hang a heart on our Christmas tree every year . He/she will forever be in my heart but is very present in my thoughts at Christmas time . I now have two hearts on my tree x

That is some cycle alright !!! So are you super busy right now with the post Christmas fitness rush ? Everyone in work is promising to get fit lol..... Mmmm we will see how long it lasts but must be good for business

Dance when do you go ? Is it tommrrow ? That sounds like a plan. I hope she sleeps for you xxx can't wait to hear all about it !

Cry / sparkle any updates time is ticking on ......

Beck's thinking of you as always and hope you have found some peace

 

[Left wonderin]

Lisa you too have a significant anniversary coming up . On the 12th of this month if I remember correctly ? I will be thinking of you all xxxx

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi everyone wasn't the weather terrible today !! I wouldn't have left a duck out in it !!!
AF showed up yesterday light as ever . Letas see how long she lasts .

Any sign of her JO ?

 

[josie1234]

Nope. Mind you temp gone down. My cold has come back and tickly cough. Has it been really bad weather Regina. Very cold here in Cambridgeshire. Lisa will be thinking of you hun. We miss you Becks, hope you are ok. The heart decoration is a lovely idea. I have my petal on my tattoo. The gyms are getting busy so yes. I need to try and get more pt clients but bootcamp I have 9 that came on Monday which I am happy with as they are regulars and in this weather and dark nights, i am pleased with that. Hopefully summer (if we get one) will be high numbers.

Sparkle, Crystal, Claire, how are you?

How is everyone else?

 

[garfie]

Morning Ladies

Cold here in Lincolnshire too!

Hope you all had a great new year

Josie - Hope your cycle comes to an end for you soon hun.

Left - Do you have to have more bloods - what have they suggested for your thyroid?

Becks - This thread certainly is quieter without you - I hope you are spending some quality time with that delightful family of yours

Lisa - I will also be thinking of you

Love to all the other ladies

I know I don't often pop on here and comment very much - but I am still stalking and keeping up with all your news - if that is okay with you ladies.

AFM - AF is mia - so Dr recommended bloods (again) Results as follows:-

Full Blood Count - NORMAL

B12 (lowish) should be 187 mine was 179

Folate 16.2 - NORMAL

Ferritin - NORMAL

U/E Creatinine - NORMAL

FSH - 6.1

LH - 3.7

Thyroid - 1.5

ALL THE ABOVE ARE GREAT FOR MY AGE!!!!!!!!

BHCG - Under 1 deff not pregnant so where is she????

Dr's conclusion - is that I am begining to go into menopause because your periods become irregular/longer/shorter etc - so basically I think he doesn't have a clue so he is blaming it on my age

I have to have a repeat blood test for the B12 and he has also recomended an ultrasound (just in case anything was stopping my af).

So for now - I am really in limbo land

I was so upset last night - but this morning I am feeling a bit more positive

Hey Ladies!

Still here! 3 weeks from today I will deliver! I actually will go in the night before to start the process. I am not nervous about anything at the moment. I have a fabulous doula and know she will be an amazing support for me. I still have things to do to prepare, but overall I am ready and I still feel really good. Blood pressure is staying low and at last ultrasound he was weighing in at 5 lbs 3 ozs! I am thrilled that I haven't gained that much weight and I am not swollen yet. I know it may be coming, but I am thankful I have remained fairly comfortable so far.

Hope you ladies are doing well and hopeful 2015 will be a great year for us all!

 

[crysshae]

Fi - Hope you get some answers soon.

Jo - Hope you can kick that cold once and for all.

Regina - Is light AF a symptom of hyperthyroid?

Jenn - You'll be meeting your baby boy so soon! Yay! Glad you're feeling well. I have no swelling this time around so far either.

For all of those with anniversaries near,

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi everyone I so love it when ye all check in
Sparkle not long now !!! Are you excited ??? I can't wait So can only imagine how youa re feeling lol

Fi wow they ARE GOOD results !! You must be happy with them but where the hell is she ??? As dolly says sometimes its hard to be a women ......

Cry not long left for you either !!! The two new arrivals will keep me going lol.... And yes light or missing periods can be sign of hyperactive . With hypo they get heavier . I alway had 4-5 flow at the moment I'm lucky if I get 2 then some spotting .

Today has been a hard day . I just SO want to be pregnant and to experience the joy of it all one more time. I also know I'm lucky beyond my dreams to have experienced it once and have an amazing little son . I'm trying to count my blessings but some days it kinda gets me down that it may NEVER happen again ill be ok just need to wake up on the right side of the bed tommrow lol..

Jo got more bloods taken on Monday have to all tommrow for results. Until they are in which tells what type of thyroid issue I'm being tried on neomercosol to try dampen it down and beta blockers for the symptoms ( ie racing heart and feeling of anxiety ) ....
After that I don't know much more right now re treatment . Ill update ye after the doc tommrow

Love to everyone xxx

 

[josie1234]

Hi Regina yes it is great to hear from you wonderful ladies. It has been quiet on here and although I don't post often, I am always lurking. Lol. My AF was light 2-3 days so maybe that shows that the dreaded M is coming. But I think I heard that perimenopause can be up to 10 year before menopause!! Oh joy and yes...damn hard being a woman. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you and results are good. Keep me updated.

Pouring down here but luckily stayed dry for bootcamp tonight. It was very cold still but had 5 there so not too bad. Me and OH went out for lunch in local hotel as got vouchers from a pt client which was very kind and thoughtful and had money left over to get a bottle of wine from the hotel wine shop, which was £14 the most that I have ever spent on a bottle of wine lol. Have a good day tomorrow everyone. Me and my DS at meal on New Year.
