Aw Tilly what a cutie pie!!!!

T, so glad all is well! Hang in there just a bit more and you will be in your 2nd trimester! Rooting for you girl!

Yeah, so I am still around, still no real bleeding, so I am wondering if I have actually started a new cycle after the miscarriage although I bled so little; I really thought there was more bleeding to come but I am still waiting, so I am a bit confused. Should start temping again i guess.

Regina, yes, we kind of named her. We were referring to her as 'Nano' in the very early stages (as in Nano, Micro, Mini etc, lol), and now that we found out it was a girl, we named her Nanette (my husband is French, '-ette' designates it to be a female name ). Ok, it is not a proper name but I really like it.

Garfie, I know what you mean, knowing there was a genetic issue kind of helps. I would probably not try again had there been no finding on what was wrong this time. At least I can somehow assume that the treatment for the other issues might have worked and that there is a chance should I fall pregnant again with the right egg...well in a nutshell, I am still not giving up :wink wink:

Bring it on!

Kim I love her name its as proper a name as any other I'm so glad your not giving up ill need a bump buddy lol

Hi all, what a gorgeous photo

kim good to hear that you are not giving up. There is always hope and I am glad that you got answers.

How is everyone else

 

[Serenjay]

Thanks Kim Such a sweet name for her xx Glad you're not giving up.. FX a perfect combination next time and a healthy baby

Ive only been sick around 15 times today.. I have been taking 2 gabapentin a day that is being used with some women on HG.. I was on them originally for chronic pain and was reduced from 7 to 3 a day but I came off them all and the sickness took over... so now im taking 2 a day my sickness has more than halved.

Tilly she's beautiful.

Yes, 3 years, what a lot has happened in that time. When I started this post 3 years ago I was at a very low point in my life. This thread and the wonderful ladies on it have been there for me all through that time. Big hugs and thanks to all you wonderful people xx

Regina, fingers crossed for today

Just seen Becks has posted on another thread that she's pg again, hopefully she'll be back to us soon, so we can support her through this. Sending big hugs Becks.

 

[Alien73]

Oh Regina, crossing my fingers you get the green light!!!
Lisa, thanks for creating that thread 3 years ago, well, I haven't been on here that long but since I read the whole thing, I feel like I have been through it with you all

SJ, yay for reduced ms, hugs it only gets less from now on!

I have picked up my regimen of supplements that supposedly enhance egg quality; I never used metformin before but am giving it a go alongside Q10 (ubiquinol), DHEA (low dose and as 7-Keto instead if straight DHEA), PQQ, Inositol in combination with Melantonin and a Multi. I am trying to down wheatgrass shots as I just started that prior to falling pregnant in January, could have been a coincidence, but who knows . And if course the baby aspirin.

Now I wish I knew where in my cycle I actually am !

OMG I am so happy for Becks.. she must be scared to death bless her.. Oh I so hope this one sticks around xx

I was taking Q10 for 4 months.. they say the egg quality takes 90 days and it helps with that... this baby came from one of those 90 day eggs after Q10 so I think it works

I still have HG. I went back to the Dr for new meds, Cinnarzine 2x 3 times a day... im so giddy he diagnosed vertigo too.. so still being sick.. I have found Horlicks tastes nice though.. Oh and my next scan (dating scan) is 26th March 2.30

Hi everyone well no green light yet but still very optimistic . The consultant I went to see must have been a mind reader lol... He was LOVELY and so positive about ttc I wasn't expecting much about ttc at my appointment but he raised it as an issue first as my GP who referred me put it in my referral letter I was anxious to try again . He told me its likley I have Graves' disease and not thyroiditis as I'm still over active even with meds and he would have expected it to flip by now if it was the other . Won't bore you all with the medical stuff so ill get right to the interesting stuff about TTC . He said my levels are going in the right direction but not there yet . I can't ttc on my current medication as it can cause foetal abnormalities . He thinks to give me the best chance at TTC and a BFP , a successful sticky beanie my levels need to be right again . He is keeping me on my current meds for another 6-8 weeks and will see me again . He is keeping a close eye on me usually appointments are 3-6 months apart !!! If levels have stabilised which he is hoping they will by then judging on last 3 blood draws he will swap my meds to one safe to conceive on .

This is the good bit !! He then said that " when I get pregnant " eeeek I love that man !!! He will keep me on the new meds for the firs tri ( safe for baby ) and switch me to the other med for the second and third tri . I was so concerned with me being an oldie he would just dismiss me but he was so encouraging .

Even with the bad news of having to wait again.... I felt tons better leaving the appointment : I've to have a scan and stuff between now and my next appointment too .

So ill be here as a cheerleader for now girls :

Oh Regina that is good news, not the straight away ttc news but there is a light at the end of the tunnel showing and your getting closer day by day. I wish more Dr's were like this Dr... the more positive they are towards us the more we feel and the less stressed. he is a great Dr

 

[Left wonderin]

[josie1234]

That's great news Regina, nice to have a good doctor who is considerate.

I really hope Becks has another rainbow. Fingers crossed for her.

Yes Lisa thank you. It has helped me through such a hard time over 2 years ago. And I have met some lovely ladies on here

 

[crysshae]

Regina - Sounds like a great doctor. I hope you'll be trying in no time.

T - So sorry you're having it so rough but yay for a healthy baby and 10 weeks!

Lisa - I wonder if chaste berry would help with the bleeding since it regulates hormones? I'm glad you went back to breastfeeding since you weren't ready to stop.

Jo and Fi - Hope you're doing well.

Tilly - enjoy the time with your hubby. Anna is adorable.

Kim - I hope those supplements help you get your rainbow.

Becks - I hope your BFP is your rainbow.

Jenn - He is so cute!

My little one will be 4 weeks on Thursday. Time goes by way too fast.
