Well ladies, its about time we had a new thread, the old one is getting very long. Plus I think we need another fresh start, with lots of positive babydust:

Get a big handful girls, i think we all need it.
I was trying to think of something great and positive to put, but this TTC lark is getting us all down, i'm fed up of trying, but we will all succeed eventually, our times will come.

It will be much better for our little ones to have a good start when our bodies are truly ready to carry them.

Diddle, it saves the neighbours thinking I'm mad (stops the sound travelling) That way I'm free to shout my head off with out anyone knowing.....oh apart from you lot now, dam!

Afternoon everyone and a "welcome" to baggybear,
I've managed to hold out on testing mainly because I've been out most of the day. Might do a test later on so will try and post the result. I'm really tired so if I don't, it's because I've fallen asleep in front of the TV!

HumphreysCorner · 16/08/2005 18:02

Hello ladies

Hello again baggybear, you are most welcome ((xx))

wishingchair- about AF but don't worry as I will be joining you on Thursday ((xx))

Not feeling so good today as DH came off his BLOODY MOTORBIKE last night-thankfully only has a few cuts and bruises. Phoned up at 10-45pm last night which gave me palpitations as I always fear the worst on a Monday night. Anyway, I had to pick him up a)over the limit and b)leave DD in bed alone . We had to leave the bike in the ditch but I have got in tonight from work and it is back (what is left of it) and the garage stinks of petrol which is all over the floor. I just hope the wretched thing is written off! I won't go on it since we had our big accident in 1998 when I was hospitalised for 9 days.

Anyway, have just had a bath to try and relax. Never slept a wink last night so shattered and the Blossom Hill I am now having will hopefully knock me out as I can't bring myself to talk to DH about last night due to his comment of "these things happen". NOT IN OUR HOUSE!

Love to all
xx

Girlies,

Keep trying. It'll happen.

I found out that I was five weeks pregnant today. Have had a pre-booked hospital appointment today. Scan shows a black blob. It's too early to see much. Have been prescribed low dose heparin jabs, progesterone tabs to be inserted and 75mg aspirin.

I am feeling positive just because I have someone watching out for us. Have to go back to the hosptital at least every two weeks for scans and tests.

Those of you who know me from having been on the threads in the past will Know about my previous m/c's 4 in total. It sounds bizarre but you do get used to it. The first ones leave you in total shock. Was off work for nearly 6 mths after the first one. Please try and stay positive.

Hellkat, I keep checking in on you.(I am not a stalker) When you least expect it it'll happen. Have lodsa fun trying.

I really wish you all the best ladies.

I am sure that all the pain we have been through will one day be worth it.

PeePee.x

strike1 · 16/08/2005 19:14

That excellent news PeePee! I've followed some of your story on another thread.I lurk occasionally, in a totally non creepy way of course Thankyou so much for popping over to let us all know that good things happen too Please let us know how it goes on your next scan. Have a happy 9 months.

petunia · 16/08/2005 19:24

I've done a test (had to wait 'til DH got home, couldn't be on my own!)
The result is very faint but........well let's say my mood is WAAAA HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YES!
I'm off to calm down and think relaxing thoughts!

baggybear · 16/08/2005 19:31

Diddle - my "poem" is on the "is anyone awake????" thread on MC/bereavment topic. Its not great but it says what I think...

Feeling really fed up tonight. Saw doctor today to ask about Anti-D as i'm Rh neg. Realised the other day that epu didn't mention it. My dr said I should have had it within 72 hours of having M/C. EPU had already upset me as they treated me really badly on day of M/C, now this. I didn't think to mention my RH neg at time I was there (not most obvious thing on my mind!). So, the EPU's failure to mention it may jeperdise (sp??) any future pregnancies. Just hope the baby was Rh neg too. Thinking of complaining, what would you do?

baggybear · 16/08/2005 19:32

CONGRATULATIONS Petunia!!!! Thats fantastic news!!! Made me this evening. I'm SOOOOO pleased for you!!!!

strike1 · 16/08/2005 19:45

Wahooooo!!!!!

This is a lucky thread! That's excellent news Petunia. I'm sooooo happy for you. Have a fantastic night with DH! Enjoy.

Off to bed now as still feeling distraught but must say...

CONGRATULATIONS PETUNIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It had to be good news for one of us.

Tabs · 16/08/2005 21:08

I do like a nice bit of happy news. Congratulations Petunia and Peepee.

nicmum2boys · 16/08/2005 22:30

BIG CONGRATULATIONS to peepee and Petunia Excellent news, wishing you a happy and healthy nine months.

Thanks Baggybear (and everyone else) for your support. It really helps having you guys to talk to. Baggybear on your behalf, that is really bad how the hospital treated you. It should be routine to ask you what your blood group is. What are the implications for future pregnancies?

HC sorry about your DH, have to say, motorbikes make me cringe. I see so many taking risks (not saying that your DH was, just that I see it alot) esp when overtaking, I just hope and pray my DSs never want to ride one. I think practically everyone we know who has a motorbike has come off it at some point . Hope he (and you) are OK ((hugs)).

Well, I've been for a nice relaxing swim this evening, and had a nice glass of wine too, so now I feel much more chilled out. Still getting backache and period pain already at only 4dpo, so not holding out much hope for a longer cycle this month .

maddyd · 17/08/2005 08:11

Wow Petunia, Congratulations. This is turning out to be a lucky Month. Hello welcome and Congratulations to Peepee.

I have not been around much as ben weak and pathetic. This no fat diet has left me drained and moody plus with not bding this month ive been pee'd off anyway.

Good news is the pain has sussided and im weaning myself off painkillers all ready for September to try again. Still no news on scan which is terrible i think but apparently they dont treat gall stones as urgent.

Anyway af due in around a week. Ive been taking my folic acid, evening primrose oil and Royal Jelly so i have the healthiest cm ever. I also found out i ovulate early so next month fingers crossed is going to be lucky for me.

Hows is Diddle, Humphreyscorner, Hellkat, Cori and nic2mumboys and of course lucky Shelly. I hope your well and that your pregnancy is going well Shelly, i know its only been a week or so but everyday counts in our situation doesnt it???
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

maddyd · 17/08/2005 08:12

Oh god i forget Tabs and Chocolatepeanut too, hope you are well

spub · 17/08/2005 09:17

Hurrah! Fantastic news about Petunia and Peepee!
This is a lucky thread!!

My own good news is that I got a smiley face in my OPK this morning!!!! Looked like this

Been bding before breakfast and plan to do as much more as poss over the next 48 hrs. How much sex do you think is the optimal amount??????

Hope you are all ok this morning.

HC - at your dh.Hope he's ok. Not at all shaken up by the sound of things. Men are really from another planet!

Baggy - Dunno much about Rh neg per se but I would certainly raise the fact that the EPU hadn't treated you at all well at such a distressing time.

baggybear · 17/08/2005 09:34

Mornign all!! Hope you are all well.

Spub - good news on smiley today. Hope it works out his month

HC - Hope you DH id okay today. Must have shaken you both up to say the least. I'm with you nicmum2boys, motorbikes make me uneasy.

Even though I'm Rh-neg, I'm not that clued up on details as I have been looked after so well during my other pregnancies. MY GP was very worried though. SHe said that if this baby was RH-pos and my body had already started making antibodies to fight different blood, Then my body will see any future RH-pos baby as a threat to my body and attack it. So, I may have recurrent M/Cs until I get a RH-neg baby. It won't make me ill, just a baby. I am so angry at EPU. I can't believe they failed to mention something so important. This could be very serious...

...sorry to bring the mood down. I am a happy person really, just a bit p**sed off right now. Promise I will smile now

strike1 · 17/08/2005 10:31

Baggybear, you have every right to be p**sed off! I didn't know my blood group when I went to the epu and they tested me and told me before doing my erpc and let me know what it all meant ( not that any of it sunk in!) You should complain or at least let your doctor complain for you as otherwise the epu's low standards will go on effecting other women!

HC hope you and DH are getting over you ordeal. Scary stuff, my DH used to have a bike, but got rid of it when he scared himself too much!

Glad your feeling better Maddyd, you'll be super fit for ttc next month

Any more testers this week?

spub · 17/08/2005 10:36

Baggy,
No wonder you are upset. That is AWFUL bordering on negligent. It's bad enough trying to get pregnant and worrying about miscarrying without any added stress or additional threat of miscarriage because the medics haven't done their job properly. Feel really bad for you.

maddyd · 17/08/2005 10:39

Thanks Strike, It was good to have a month off really. I feel like im starting afresh. Now im wishing my af would arrive, thats a first!!!!!!!

wishingchair · 17/08/2005 10:55

Just wanted to say a huge CONGRATULATIONS to petunia and peepee!!! Fantastic news!

Baggy - that's awful, yes I would complain. Definitely. Especially since your GP was very concerned.

And to everyone else ... I'm off on my hols for a couple of weeks so won't be around. Going to relax, start ov testing and bd as much as possible. Hopefully we'll have more happy news when I get back!

baggybear · 17/08/2005 11:05

Can I ask a really dumb question? What do the following actually stand for? I mean, I get the gist of what your saying but you've got me a-thinkin'!

AF?
BD?

Thanks and sorry for being so stoopid!!
