good luck lychees im pretty scared, had a alot of cramping today. did that with the pregnancy i didnt miscarry but it started from implantation. im scared im going to lose another one and i dont know if being rational or not.

essenceofSES · 03/01/2011 20:40

Hello and Happy New Year to you all!

Kitty - I had 2 mmc before I had DS andI remember the early weeks of my pg with DS I felt an emotional wreck with all the worry. Take each day at a time and we're here for support.

Lychees - sorry you've been ill but I'm excited for you about tomorrow! Hope all goes well and you never know, it could all work out first month!

KnackeredCow - I was also wondering about the ladies at the top of the list. I know I don't always post that regularly but I generally keep in touch across the month!

Any lurkers out there - please check in!! Hope you're ok??!

I'm now waiting for AF in about a week. It's not been a good few weeks as first of all DH had a bad throat infection just at my fertile time and then last Monday, DH's cousin was killed in a car crash. All v tragic and sad. Anyway, it does help put things in perspective and that has to be top of my list for New Years resolutions - to appreciate what I do have :)

Ilovekittyelise · 03/01/2011 21:40

hi ijust changed my name was carlos to worththewait ok x

Ilovekittyelise · 04/01/2011 08:00

Hi carlosss got to be quick as late already (groan)...hope you are ok. cramping less this morning when i woke, felt queasy when i woke in the night. just have to wait this one out. im sorry posting in here i dont find it easy in 'pregnancy' everyone is so confident about the fact that they are having a baby and when i posted about my concerns i only got two replies unlike here where everyone is kind.

KnackeredCow · 04/01/2011 11:21

Kitty I'm sorry you are feeling a bit low. It must be so hard for you right now. We all have our fingers crossed for you this time.

worththewait / carlossss Sorry to hear that you are feeling a bit down. Try not to over analyse what your DP is saying too much. Perhaps your DP is simply trying to reassure you that he loves you no matter what happens and that won't change if you can't have a baby. I am sure that he doesn't mean that he doesn't want a baby, he's just trying to put you first. I think all our DH's / DP's probably get a bit of a hard time when the "want baby NOW" hormones kick in. Whatever they say is bound to be wrong when we're feeling so emotional. I've changed your name on the stats too.

Essence I am so sorry to hear that you've had such an awful time of late. However, I raise my glass to appreciating what we do have.

Hello everyone

kitty FX this is a sticky one for you, hope you're getting on ok? x

Lychees Good luck for today, let us know how you get on. x

essence sorry to hear of your shitty time & condolences about DH's cousin, how terrible & as you say put's things into perspective. x

However having said that I am at all time low ATM. So fed up of TTC with no success whatsoever. According to CBFM AF due on Thurs & pretty sure it will arrive. I had a horrible Hogmany with DH's best friend (who's wife has recently announced she's preg) drunkardly telling me how sorry they felt for us, how they feel awkward around me & it'll be us next. He meant well but I wanted to slap him. People just do not understand how soul destroying this is. Aaaaaargh Angry
On the plus side I have my follow up at FC on Fri so hopefully they will increase my Clomid dose to 100mg and give me some encouragement!

Sorry for the me me me/down post but now it's off my chest I will try & be more positive for 2011!

worththewait · 04/01/2011 12:08

ps how does everyone do the names in black xxx??????

AnytimeNOW · 04/01/2011 12:17

Kitty Just had a quick read of the last few posts...and really wanted to offer you some advice.

I totally understand how worried you are, last year I lost three in a row...so every pain, cramp we panic!!!.

I had pain, cramps, trapped wind, you name it I had it all going on from 10 DPO up until 7 weeks...I was a nervous wreck! also because we are symptom watching we are almost waiting for something to go wrong, because of whats happened before.

All I can say is hang in there! those pains are all normal and just your body responding to the changes...as long as there is no red bleeding, and the pains come and go, you should be fine.

I know telling you to relax is pontless! as it is immposible! but please go easy on yourself and just try and rest as much as you can...in those early weeks the only time I wasn't freaking out with worry was when I was asleep! so lot's of early nights for me.

I am ten weeks today, and gradually starting to kind of relax a little bit (ish) still squeeze my boobs when I wake up just to check they are still sore!...they are sore, because I keep poking them Blush...hand in there Kitty thinking of you X.

Hello everybody else, sorry some are feeling low Sad sending virtual hugs X

AnytimeNOW · 04/01/2011 12:20

"Hang" even Doh Smile

worththewait · 04/01/2011 12:23

AnytimeNOW · 04/01/2011 12:38

Thank you Worththewait means alot, still not ready to leave this thread! have been here for such a long time, and the girls are so lovely and always there to help...think I would have lost it a long time ago without there support!.

Hope you are feeling a bit brighter today? it is so hard trying to keep positive sometimes...but we have to keep on at it Smile x.

P.S to highlight a name...put a * in front and after.

worththewait · 04/01/2011 13:00

hi thank you just looking back ive mispelled words prob where i have typed to quick i dont know and i dontreally know how to do paragraphs where everyone else on this site can

hope it dont get on anyones nerves :)
i will look in future before i post!!
im ok sort of today
i dont know its the wait fo 2weeks thats depressing me im fine when im at work
day off today , and tomorrow ......
got to see the gyne on 14th jan
i had a scan before xmas it seemed like they wernt telling me everything but maybe that was just me i felt like that
but then when my doc phoned me up she said everything was fine apart from having a bigger bulkier womb than usual
but no worries
and also she refered me to a gyne there and then as this one is at my docs for my first consultation then other ones will be at hospital
and that she had phoned me being prolactol levels were high and then i repeeated the blood test 3 weeks later i think it was and came back normal
so i aint got a clue anymore
xConfused
but thanks anyways anytimenow how are you now and how things with you etc x

Lychees · 04/01/2011 13:52

ILoveKittyElise, it's totally understandable how you're feeling. But try not to think the worse. Sending you my thoughts and best wishes.

Anytime, glad you are starting to feel a little more relaxed. All the best, hun.

Boba, what a complete a"$e! I think I might have slapped him Angry. Is the 50mg of Clomid not working, hun? Hope you get what you need on Friday at the FC.

Worththewait, the waiting is really hard, isn't it? Waiting for AF, waiting for appointments ..... Try not to be nervous about your appointment, see it as an opportunity to get some answers and actions.

I had my scan this AM and have one follicle measuring 13mm so not quite ready yet. Seems like the Clomid did nothing as I normally ov around CD15/16 and it is looking like that will happen again this month and there was no extra follicles [I was secretly wishing for a chance at twins ... very, very greedy Blush I know, but you should always have dreams Wink]. Anyways, what this means is that I have to go for another scan on Thursday and then perhaps, we'll be giving IUI a go Fri/Sat.

I'll let you know what happens.

Hope everyone else is okay.

StormBird · 04/01/2011 14:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Only me.......just thought I'd pop in to say hi and a huge congrats to both Anytime & kittyelise - well done gurlies, I hope that your pregnancy go as smoothly as possible and understand your worries.

Hi everyone else.....hope you are well! I'm now 12+5 weeks preggers. So far so good. Tomorrow we have our 12wk scan (the biggie) and we'll find out if all is well. Fingers crossed.

I hope 2011 is a successful year for you all. Soldier on ladies, you are strong and amazing women.

Much Love xxx

worththewait · 04/01/2011 14:57

hi stormbird
hope you scan goes well for you
let us know the outcome and good luck
everything will be well
x

worththewait · 04/01/2011 15:33

hi everyone and hi lychees good news about
planning to start iui good luck with that and btw your not being greedy about wanting twins either hun
hope you get what you want
but having one is cool too being blessed with one is magical
good luk and keep us all updated x thinking of you all

Keziahhopes · 04/01/2011 17:21

Hi Storm - hope your scan is fantastic and you get a nice pic and all is well xx

Boba - sending you a big hug.

Lychees -understand totally about the thought of twins, that is definitely what I would like too, after all this time Grin

Anytime - wow, 10 weeks already Smile, you did make me smile about why your boobs were sore lol!!

As for me, think am in denial about nothing moving forward so waiting for everything to crash really. The injury from car accident causing so much pain, too.

Ilovekittyelise · 04/01/2011 19:47

keziah sorry to hear you are having a bad time. your bad luck seems to be never-ending. a karmic u-turn must surely be on the horizon?

thanks to everyone for your support. you wouldnt believe how many times i have been to the loo today just to check. no blood as yet, please let it stay that way. will be using a clearblue digital every morning to see whether the hormone levels are going up or down.

essenceofSES · 05/01/2011 07:44

Morning all!

Storm - hope all goes well with your scan! Do po by and let us know how you get on :)

Kitty - hope you're feeling ok this morning

Keziah - sorry you're still suffering after the crash. Are you still getting any treatment?

worththewait - any symptoms coming through?

Lychees - great to hear ovulation is imminent for you. Hope you have a successful week and the IUI is straghtforward!

Boba - sorry to hear about your new year. You're right, no one understands properly unless they've been through problems ttc themselves.

Hello everyone else! Thank you for your kind words about DH's cousin. Jan doesn't seem to have been the best start for so many people and it does put things in perspective a little (until the hormones take over!)

AF is due for me in the next few days so at least then I can focus on an October baby!
