Hi Ladies - hope you are all well, sorry for not posting on this thread (my pc does not like this thread for some reason probably a bit too long) Ive been posting on the due in August thread mostly.

I had the scan last Thursday and everything was great, what a releif - I could have cried on that bed (nearly did)

I still have to take the progesterone pessaries for another 4 weeks until 16 weeks - they are giving me headaches its a small price to pay and the doctors have signed me off work for another two weeks. Work I feel are bit annoyed but what can i do.

Hope you are all well and sorry for the delay in posting. Has anyone been able to find Wendy, it was me thinking of Wendy that brought me back to this thread.

Good luck all.

Frizbetheexpansionset · 07/02/2006 20:50

Glad all is ok Trix

Wendy thinking of you, hope all is ok

Caddy, what a nightmare, can you demand to see the management team at the local hospital to find out whats what?? surely a flight back to CA can't be any good for you all now?

Feeling a bit odd here, but then have been on feet all day, and then an hours driving each way to NEC, so probably just knack'd.....finally got my perscription for homebirth pethadine tonight, only to take it to chemist and find out they have none in stock, nice lady joked, hope you don't kick off tonight, yep me to honey!

Hope all else ok?

Cadmum · 07/02/2006 21:41

I have left yet another message for the Ob. Nurse. the practice manager spoke with me today but she was amazed that I haven't had a appt. made. To top off my day, I broke a tooth... Surprisingly, it doesn't hurt but now I need a dentist as well! ARGH!

Cadmum · 07/02/2006 21:42

I really can't even begin to tell you how much I want to avoid flying back to Canada to have this baby but I am more afraid of option B at this stage.

Frizbetheexpansionset · 08/02/2006 09:01

Oh {{{{Big Hugs}}}} Cadmum, but at least they got back to you, so there is still hope yet.....actually I'm quite surprised the airline still let you fly! they don't generally over here......
I'm a bad mum this am, have just lost temper at dd, in very loud voice (the loudest ever yet) she wanted a smaller plate..........but have also just found out a friend has died

Bella23 · 08/02/2006 14:12

From the look on another thread I think Tabs is on her way into hospital in labour - ye ha !!
How exciting!!

Hello Ladies

Sorry for not posting earlier but this has been the most awful week. I got a BFP on Sunday but it was faint and needless to say I was worried so thought I would hang on a few days and teat again. Waited all of 24 hours before testing and it was slightly darker together with sore boobs, rotten taste in my mouth and feeling icky I really thought all was OK. Tested again this morning and it was even fainter than Sundays test, so went off to the clinic and had bloods taken. The results are back and my HCG is only 10 so unfortunatley I am going to m/c - if I don't m/c within the next 2 weeks I have to go back for another ERPC.

Needless to say we are completley devestated. A stillbirth and 2 m/c inside 15 months is more that my mind or body can take so we have decided to call it a day on fertility treatments. I can't keep putting myself or DH through this. I look about 10 years older that I am at the moment. I just hope that I don't look back in a few years and say I Wish........., but I guess we just have to live with the decisions we make in this world and believe we have made the right ones.

About 5 years ago we talked about adoption and that may still be an option in the future but at the moment I can't even think 2 minutes in advance never mind weeks, months or years. I have never felt such compete and utter grief as I do at the moment. I literally feel as if someone has switched the light off and it is never coming on again. I know I have to work through this for the sake of both DH and my mum. I know they are hurting too.

Please take really good care of yourselves and I will check up on you in the future but for the time being I am going to take a break from all ttc issues. Thank you all so much for the support you have given me over the time I have known you all. I wish this could have ended on a happier note but we never know what the future holds for us and maybe it is just as well.

Love Wendy

munz · 08/02/2006 17:46

oh wend, i'm so sorry for u honney (((((hugs))))) if you want/need any help/support as always we will be here for u. (((((((hugs))))))

Nemo1977 · 08/02/2006 17:51

wendy hun words cant express how sad I feel reading your news. I truly hope that you will keep in touch and let us know how you are doing. Adoption may be the answer for you and hope that you will get to hold your lo in your arms when you are ready regardless of how you get to that process. I cant believe life can be so cruel to someone so deserving.

romilly · 08/02/2006 17:52

wendy - i am angry and sad at the same time reading your post. it literally bought tears to my eyes. it does not need saying how sorry we all feel that you are having to go through this - again. i know that nothing anyone can say at the moment is going to lessen your pain, and wendy i really am so so sorry this is happening to you.

Frizbetheexpansionset · 08/02/2006 18:37

Wendy, I don't want to get your hopes up too much, but there is still some hope, and its been on our local news quite a bit recently, there is a lady at Nottingham University Medical Dept, who has a breakthrough treatment available, for people who have had more than one miscarriage, she's been researching the problem for years and may yet still be able to help you, please try and contact them if you read this {{{{{{{Big Hugs}}}}}}}

MeAndMyBoy · 08/02/2006 20:07

Oh wendy I am so so sorry. I was so worried that something had gone wrong when we didn't hear from you sooner.

You and your DH and Mum will be in my prayers. Take each minute at a time and do what you need to do to get through this.

If you want to talk as others have said we are all here and will help any way that we can, or cat me if you like.

Take care

harri x

Frizbetheexpansionset · 08/02/2006 20:45

For Wendi Sorry Wendi, thought it was Nottm Uni, but its Liverpool, this may be of use tho?

bubbly1973 · 10/02/2006 09:21

oh wendy im so so gutted for you, my heart really goes out to you, when we had fertility treatment the first time it was a bfp and like you the hcg levels were going lower and lower, and beanie didnt make it, so i know whatyou are going through and just wanted to wish you all the best in what you decide to do, i truly am so very sorry to hear such sad news

Bella23 · 10/02/2006 09:36

OH Wendy, I am so gutted for you. Its so unfair that you are having to go through this.
I don't really know what to say as its just so hard.
I'm so sorry and just hope that you and DH keep the strength to follow whatever path you decide to take in the future.
If you ever need someone to rant to or have a "poor me" moment do please log on and let us know.
Lots of love to you and DH xx

romilly · 10/02/2006 10:57

wendy, just wanted to say am thinking of you, and your d/h - take lots of care of yourself and we are always here if you do want to talk. lots of love x

Frizbetheexpansionset · 10/02/2006 16:04

Ok Rom and Munz, don't wanna scare you but the 1st March baby has been born, see Birth announcements under Jangus!!

HandbagAddiction · 10/02/2006 16:25

Sorry ladies but haven't been around too much over the past couple of weeks as I've been having a nightmare at work. Certain indivuduals at my current client seem to think it is acceptable to completely f**k me over (excuse the language) in meeting where senior management have been present and I've been having a nightmare trying to redress the situation! Oh the joys!

Anyway all my woes are insignificant compared to what other people are having to deal with and my heart really does go out to Wendy right now. So sorry to pick up this news and all my thoughts are with you and your family right now. .

Hope everyone else is OK...I will definitely check in a bit later to catch up with everyone else properly..but I've got to run to a meeting at 4:30..........

HandbagAddiction · 10/02/2006 16:55

Phew - meeting cancelled, so some time to catch up....

Blimey, so it loks as though Tabs is in labour....

Cadmum - so sorry to hear you're also having a nightmare with the Ottawa / New York thing. Can't even begin to imagine what you must be going through and having to manage existing children at the same time. Really do feel for you.

Bella23 - so glad to hear all is OK and that you're getting some symptoms!

Trix - also glad to hear the good news about your scan.

As for Rmilly, Munz and Frizbe - how long have you all got left now? I've completely lost track?! Hard as it is, you must all try to start getting some rest now in preparation - although I know how hard it can be to achieve in spite of best intentions! Seriuosly though - hope you're all OK and hanging in there so to speak!

Hi also to MeandmyBoy...and all the others on this thread who have already had their babies or are quielty still cooking them!!

I'm not doing too badly. Saw my midwife on Tuesday who says everything is as it should be despite my protestations about feeling and looking huge already! At this rate, I cannot even imagine being able to move in 15 weeks time!! Still suffering badly with insommnia so DH has finally been told to order Sky as I'm fed up of the terrestrial options at 1am and we unfortunately don't get Freeview where we live!! Apart from that and the 'sh*y' work situation at the moment...all is rosy in the handbag household!!

Take care all and hope you have a good weekend!

georgeandwigglyjake · 10/02/2006 18:29

Wendy, I am just so sorry. I was so hoping that it wasn't bad news when you didn't post earlier in the week.
I wish there was something I could do to take away even some of the pain you must be feeling.

As Bella says, please do feel you can come back here for a rant or whatever. I would hate for this to be the end of our journey together, leaving you feeling like the light has gone out.
It will come back one day and your journey will continue.
My best wishes to you and your DH Wendy.
xxx

romilly · 10/02/2006 19:13

well said george. thats how i feel wendy - please dont give up. i know a few friends who have had a terrible, heartbreaking time with IVF and miscarriages (one had five ) - all of them are now parents, all now have more than one child too. sometimes it can be the hardest and longest journey, but i know they are all happy they persevered. and wendy you do have time on your side. it is maybe not the time to being saying any of this, if that is so i am sorry, but i just wanted to tell you of my friends experiences.

Frizbetheexpansionset · 10/02/2006 20:11

Handbag, Rom, Munz and I have a few weeks each! I'm due end of Feb, Munz and Rom both early to mid March if I remember rightly! (not got any stats to refer to!!)

Sorry to hear your having such a pants time of it with work, and with no freeview opps?! (apparently once you have sky, there is a freeview package they are obliged to sell you for a one off fee, I'm trying to find out more details at the moment, as we could do with saving a bit more cash!!)

Oh and Tabs has her baby!! not sure if she's gotten around to a birth announcement thread yet, but she did a post on the feb thread briefly

munz · 11/02/2006 10:32

just quick will post on here tomorrow to cathc up!

hope all's well - eeekkkkk tab's has had her LO!!! it's really not long now, next one is friz I think, then me rom and cadmum not sure about after that thou.

Tabs · 11/02/2006 11:54

Hi ladies. So sorry to read Wendy's v sad news .

Finally got around to doing a proper birth announcement, here .

Keeping v busy with feeding and her refusal to sleep much unless she's on me. Hoping will get easier once milk comes in!

Debbsywillgetherbeanie · 12/02/2006 17:38
