Waiting for AF after M/C, anyone else? OCBM

[ljsmummy]

Hopeforababy- hi and welcome!this is a really fabulous bunch of ladies who have really helped me through a rubbish time.sorry youre here,but great to meet you :-D

aleeah-sorry youre feeling so poorly,ear infections are the worst wishing you a speedy recovery love.

linny- great news!!!!so pleased that your scan went well!!youve made it past one of the toughest hurdles.hope its giving you some reassurance

Lindsay- yayyyyy!boys are amazing!so happy for you!!the love a little boy has for his mummy is just something else.congratulations!

I always love to see healthy scan pictures,its heart warming and encouraging,so id love to see if everyone else is ok with it.

afm-still holding off testing.Even hubby is trying to get me to test. But I dont want to see a bfn. And would also be slightly terrified/although over the moon to see a bfp. If that makes sense. I think if af isnt here by friday I will test then. Ive never had a cycle longer than 28 days in the past,but can't rule it out now because of the ectopic. Thanks for all your great advice ladies

Sorry if I missed anyone!hope you are all having a good day x x x

Lindsay - that is awesome about your scan! How sweet that you are having a cute little boy! We were at my in-laws' last night and they were watching two of my nephews (3 yr old and a 10 month old) and I was just thinking about how much easier they are to take care of than my nieces. Of course, I know a lot of little boys are a real handful, but I hope you find that your sweet little boy is wonderfully well behaved as well.

I'm so happy to hear everything is normal with the baby and your health! It will be great to have a monthly scan.

Ljs - your chart does look great. I hope you test soon!

AFM - I haven't updated my temps yet but they look yucky. Went down a bit today. I know you can't read too much into temps in the TWW but if I don't get a nice spike within the next few days I will probably lose most hope. :s

 

[Lindsay109]

Aleeah, or should I say "oracle Aleeah" haha, what is your guess for you? I hope your cold/ear infection is improving!

Ljs, have you tested yet. I really think you're pregnant.

LL, your chart looks just fine too, temps are all above cover line I'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that they stay that way for a looooong time!

Thanks for the congrats ladies, still hasn't really sunk in although it certainly seems more real now Everyone at my work knows as of yesterday too, which is also making it feel much more real. We're not planning to name him until after he is born - gonna have a few names picked and see which one he looks like, lol. My next scan is scheduled for December 11. Fortunately at the hospital again so I can bring someone with me and we get a big screen to watch I will post some pics in another thread and then a link, so no one has to look unless they want to - don't want to hurt anyone by posting them here

[ljsmummy]

Lindsay your bump shot and scan pictures are beautiful!you look really great with a definite bump!Thank you so much for sharing with us.How fabulous you get to see your little boy again on the big screen!

Afm- I tested about an hour ago after giving in to pressure from hubby....bfp!!the first ic was a faint line but definitely there,and a cb digital said 'pregnant 2-3 weeks'. In shock right now and dont know how to feel,ecstatic but slightly petrified!It just seems to good to be true!x x

 

[Literati_Love]

Lindsay- LOVE your bump! You and your baby are so pretty

AFM - my temps went up a bit today so that makes me happy. We shall see!

Ljs- very curious if you've tested!

How's everyone else?

Aleeah - is your scan today?

 

[Literati_Love]

Ljs - you posted at the same time! Congratulations! Wow! Good for you! I can see how you would be in shock.

I can't believe how quickly so many people get pregnant! Hopefully I will join you all someday.

 

[slg76]

ljs-Congratulations!!!!
Try to relax and enjoy it! Plenty of time for worrying later.

LL-Hang in there. Your time is coming. I wish I could make it come faster for you. I'm still here ttc with you

AFM-just the same old stuff. No idea where I am in my cycle. No clear sign of ovulation. No AF.

 

[Aleeah]

LJsMummy - SO PLEASED FOR YOU!!!!

Everyone's updates on the website (other threads) have been so sad the last few days, so it's lovely to get your notification pop up in my e-mails! So pleased for you, after all you've been through this is it, this is your rainbow missy!! xxxx

Lindsay - My guess is pink for me, has been from the beginning, not sure why but just have a feeling, I'll be thoroughly shocked if it's a boy as I feel so sure it's a girl. I'm over the moon either way of course.

Your bump is SO cute, it's so small and neat and how cute is your little man looking, less little man now big man! I feel quite emotional, I remember when we were calling him a bean, as he hadn't taken on the resemblance of anything but a bean and now he's definitely looking like a baby.

LL - So pleased your temp went up, this well could be your cycle too, wouldn't it be amazing!! I still really do feel like this is your month. How are you doing with symptoms etc? xx

SLG - Hope you get some clear signs soon. Sorry you'll need to remind me, are you temping and using ovulation tests at all?

Blue - Hope you're now with your gorgeous husband and you haven't posted because you can't keep your hands off him!! xx

Teacup - How are you doing?? xx

AFM - Scan went beautifully, baby looks like a baby and as this was the last appointment with my specialist I was a bit emotional and then she told me she'll still be seeing me due to my high blood pressure (heridiatry) and then I was even more emotional and happy. We've formed a bond now. She was lovely and promised to scan me again anytime I need reassurance, which was so nice of her to say. Also, she's going to come in on my NT scan next week too. She's about the same age as my mum would be and reminds me of her in so many ways, so it's nice seeing her. She always gives me a hug! xx

I knew it!!! Your chart looks sooo good Congrats hun!!! I'm so excited for you

 

[Lindsay109]

Thanks ladies, you are all so sweet Yes, he definitely looks like a baby now, no longer a little blob!

LL, your turn is coming soon too! I'm sure of it!!

Slg, hopefully your body will give you some clear signs soon!

Aleeah, I'm so glad to hear your scan went well today I bet your little one looks like a baby now too! That's great that the specialist will be continuing to see you, and will come to your NT scan next week. I'm sure it makes a big difference to have a familiar, supportive face around.

Hi everyone,

I will do my best to catch up properly soon.

For those I have seen on the last page or two...

Congratulations on your boy, Lindsay! Beautiful bump and baby!

Congratulations on your pregnancy, ljs. I know you're nervous. It's normal, but enjoy every minute of it.

I hope everyone else is doing well.

Crys, so nice to hear from you again! How are you doing?

 

[Literati_Love]

Crys - so glad you've come back to check in! How are you? Are you TTC again yet or soon at least?

Lindsay - thanks. I hope you're ready to go out and buy a bunch of BLUE baby things now This is definitely your healthy rainbow baby!

Aleeah - wow, that's so great that your baby is doing so well and really looks like a baby now! I am so excited for you. And how great that you don't have to stop seeing your specialist! She sounds just lovely. I hope your prediction is right that you're having a girl!

As for my symptoms, I really try not to think about symptoms much at all until 7dpo or more. So far there's been nothing but some mild cramping (which I did have with my BFP last time) and I am -less- irritable than usual during this time. But that could be nothing.

Slg - Thanks. Hopefully, you, Blue, Crys, (Nina), teacup, Kim and I (and anyone else I'm missing) will get our BFPs very soon! Sometimes I forget how many people are still TTC because the BFPs seem more prominent.

 

[ljsmummy]

Thank you so much ladies. Its means so much for you to say congratulations to me,when so many of you deserve it just as much if not more so than I do after what you've been through.I wish I could share the luck with you,I really do.I will hope and pray for the ttc ladies that your turn is next and just around the corner.

aleeah - fabulous news that your little one is doing so well!and that you have such great support from your specialist. I feel like you are team pink!

LL - im no chart expert,but to me it looks good so far?keeping my fingers crossed tightly for you!

crys-thank you so much.how are you?

lindsay - thank you hun.the excited dance was much appreciated!

slg - thank you so much . trying to relax and let it sink in.

blue - are you home?we are missing you!

Im still in shock and a little terrified.But think I will be for quite some time yet.Cautiously excited.And praying this little bean has a sat nav this time x x

 

[klsltsp]

hey ladies!!

lj congrats on the bfp!!!!

Aleeha I hope that your ears are feeling better!! Like you I didn't know you could get ear infections as an adult... glad your scan went so well this week, very happy for you. I've been meaning to ask, have you been able to get your doppler working? on either you or the cat? LOL

slg I hope that your body starts cooperating!!!

LL we'll get our turn, I'm sure you'll be there in no time.

afm I had bloodwork, an ultrasound and doc apt today and the news was really good!!, my beta is down to 89 (from 184 last week) which is awesome!!! and the mass in my uterus has shrunk, they actually said they couldn't see a defined mass in my uterus which is amazing, since 3 weeks ago it was 5 cm x 5 cm x 3.5 cm!!! so I still have bloodwork every week and I see my ob in 2 weeks. I have been seeing an ob at the hospital, but am now switching back to my regular ob.

They said I still need to wait to ttc, but we're out of the woods the doc said!!! he also lifted the bd restriction!! thank goodness but he said we MUST use birth control since my uterus cannot withstand a pregnancy right now.

well off to bed!!

Take care.

Kim

 

[Linnypops]

Wow it's all going on in this thread!

LJSmummy - woohoo! high fives! Be happy for yourself love! Go get some flowers, and say to hell with doubt. 2-3 on a digi is great for early testing X

Lindsay - That is such great news! Your pics look great! You must feel like it's really all happening now! X

Aleeah - Great news about your scan, and good to now they're keeping an eye on you. What a difference it makes when you experience a genuinely caring attitude from the medical profession, especially after losses. X

LL - We all know early cramping is a classic BFP sign! Good you're feeling less irritable anyway, hehe. X

Kim - that's great news! So, at this rate you might be clear in a couple of weeks? x

Afm-A few hours after my internal scan i started spotting, a bit of browny cm, and then a tiny amount of actual red blood. That lasted one night. Since then it's gone, just some slightly tinged cm occasionally. Not sure what to think, i've heard that the internal scan can cause some spotting so hoping it's just that, gotta be positive right? Little bean needs me to be.... Got another scan monday to check.X

 

[Literati_Love]

Kim - that's great news that you're in the clear now. Such a relief that everything is shrinking down as it should.

Linny - I hope it was just from the scan as well.

AFM - I am trying not to read too much into my temps because they don't really mean that much, but today's temp made me a bit excited. Oh, I do hope it isn't false hope once again. =\

 

[bluestars]

Hey ladies!

Ljs- huge congratulations honey ! Thats fantastic news! Soo pleased for you!

Linds -team woohoo! Hehe thats fantastic your photos and your little perfect bump look fantastic!

Aleeah- wohoo for great scan. Its great that the specialist has cut down the appointments. Hehe wont be long before you get a little bump too!

Lit- your temps look great ! Fingers are crossed for you!

Linny - im sure everything will be fine. Spotting will likely just be part of the internal. Hehe

so much good news on this thread recently. So sorry for those who have recently joined us. This is a great group of woman for support.

Afm- IM HOME!I havent ravished my man yet as AF is sadly on its way... which is rubbish haha. But im home so December bding session will hopefully commence. Haha. I had my grad yesterday and went to a midnight showing last night before the flight home.

How is everyone ? Xxx
