Jo that's what I thought about AF being light but doc said its all connected to my thyroid and will resolve itself when my levels go back to normal .she said she was surprised I was getting AF at all with my condition

 

[josie1234]

Regina hope levels get back to normal for you soon.

Having a lazy weekend which is good. I have realised that hormonal teenage son and peri menopausal mum don't go together well lol.

What are you all up to? Any bump pics or LO pics. Love the pic of Sean, lovely pic xx

 

[Left wonderin]

LO Jo I love it !! Would make a great cartoon strip !!! Ragin hormones !! Hehehehe

 

[josie1234]

Lol. Yes it would. I was dropping him off to his mates last night and he was getting on my nerves so stopped the car and told him to get out. I did a couple laps round the block before I picked him up! Oh dear. He did text to say sorry

Hi, we go away 5 weeks today.

Yes, it our Angel's 'birthday' tomorrow. Feeling sad at the moment.

DH and I will be going to the Garden of Rememberance tomorrow to place some flowers over where our baby's ashes were laid to rest.

 

[josie1234]

Lisa

I will be thinking of you tomorrow. Xxx

How is Caitlin, i bet she is growing so quick and keeping you busy? Are you looking forward to the holiday yet or still worried? I really hope that you have a lovely time xxx

How is everyone else?

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi everyone Lisa I too will be thinking of you tommrow xxx
I'm feeling so much better , weird that as I didn't know I was feeling bad lol..... That feeling of dread has all but gone and I feel somewhat more together and normal . My levels have dropped and they have reduced my meds . I'm off the beta blockers and down to 10 mg of the other stuff . Not sure yet if its the meds or just burning itself out and will turn hypo .anyway that's it from here apart from the fact Sean has had a ragin temp for the past two days ... Viral I think so just have to see it out .
Any news from the soon to be mums ???
Love to all xxxx

DH and I put flowers on the 'grave' today. It was sad, DH got a little upset too.

It's laid out in a circle with 12 sections, one for each month and they are labeled at the top, so our section is January. I was looking at all the little gifts and ornaments which were around and it puts things into perspective in a way, as on the December area was a plaque which had a baby's name on it, can't remember the while name, but the little boy's name was Caleb and the rest of it read 30.11.10 - 7.12.10, he was 7 days old. Why is life so cruel?

Caitlin is getting bigger all the time and another thing to put in perspective, she would not be here if we hadn't lost our angel!

She is trying to talk in her own little language, no idea what she's trying to say, but she certainly manages to communicate what she wants! Also now she clings on and hugs back which is lovely, she also gives kisses occasionally!



(Sorry picture upside down, no idea why or how to change! This was taken about 2 1/2 weeks ago)

Lisa I'm sure that was hard . I also think its so special to spend special time " remembering " it gives importance to our LO short but oh SO important lives . Be it a trip to a memorial , a quite moment taken alone , an opening of a memory box or a tear shed . Each is a beautiful tribute to a beautiful life

 

[Oasis717]

Hi ladies just dropping in to say I haven't forgotten any of you, I hope you are all OK, it was our first lo lost due date on the 7th Jan, its so hard but as you say Lisa we wouldn't have our little ones now so joy came out of the pain but they are never ever forgotten and we will never stop missing or loving them. AFM I'm enjoying ntnp I'm only tracking cm that's it and its a relief to not stress, I'm concentrating on my diet and fitness and what will be will be, I spent a year completely taken up with trying to conceive so we are now accepting we have two beautiful boys together and we are very lucky, lots of luv to you and I will be back again to see how you all are xxxxxxx

 

[garfie]

Oasis - Nice to hear from you hun - angelversaries can be so hard - I have far to many now

Lisa - BIG it's hard sometimes to put things into perspective but it is good that you can - I'm still trying to be able to do that - I think until my time is up I will always be saying just one more chance Caitlin is like a little doll - butter wouldn't melt

Left - How is the medication treating you - what happens next? poor Sean hope he is feeling much better

Josie - It comes to something when the kids have a better social life than us eh? - both of mine had sleep overs on Saturday as well - me and hubby didn't know what to do with ourselves so we just watched a movie ate snacks and opened a nice bottle of red

Love to all the other ladies

AFM - As you can see the cycle finally came to an end CD50 - so let's hope this one behaves better



X

 

[Left wonderin]

Phew Fi that was a long one !!!! Hopefully this a a super lucky one for you xxx
Ps that bottle of red sounded nice

Becks so lovely to hear from you . You even sound more relaxed in your post !! Lol....
Although its enforced I'm actually enjoying the not counting , checking and stressing . No what ifs this month either its quite nice but still want no 2 that hasn't changed an ounce . Not ready to accept what will be will be lol... Just yet

Fi meds have been reduced , bloods again in three more weeks to check where things are at . Have been referred to a specialist . Just waiting on appointment . After that not quite sure what's next ....... Mmm

Everyone else how are ye ? Sean seems to finally be out the other side of his virus thankfully . One mammy hoping to get some sleep tonight !

Love to all

 

[Oasis717]

Oh we haven't given up Regina not by a long shot, dh was away around o this month but we will continue to bd more in my fertile week I'm just loving not stressing about temperatures, faint lines on ICS etc it was so stressful and IMO can only prevent a successful pregnancy for us, I did all that for a year with no success so I'm happy to take dh and my doctors advice and relax about it all but not for one minute does the want or the hope go, we still want another as much as before but I had to stop it taking over our lives, anyway do take care and I will be back soon, lots luv xx

 

[Left wonderin]

Becks that sounds more like it !!! Remember our pact no giving up until the very END of menapause lol... Then we have to come back incognito when we are sixty with fake stories lol.... Remember I'm being Lolita

 

[crysshae]

Lisa - Sounds like a lovely memorial spot. Caitlin is as adorable as ever.

Fi - glad that cycle is over.

Jo - lol. I bet those hormones are battling.

Regina - glad to hear the meds are working so well. Hopefully you won't have much longer to deal with it. Glad Sean is better.

Becks - glad to hear from you and to see you feeling more relaxed.

Jenn - not much longer!

AFM - Doing well. GD well controlled with diet other than my fasting sugars. I did get a bump pic a couple days ago Jo. Here it is.
