Hello ladies...]Creating..I am glad baby flipped. I am sure baby will be perfect and healthy. Nice that you got all kinds of stuff from your shower !!!! FUN ! Now comes nesting !! ANJ...sorry for the delay. You can use a first response test and it will give you accurate results. However you should try to wait until you have hit your cycle day that should be af atleast, if not until you are late. That way you wont get a false neg if you are pg !!! CRISSY...I am sorry for your loss. The loss of a baby is different for each and every one of us. But the feeling is usually the same. We all feel depressed and so much more. It is such a hard thing to lose a child. You will get the courage to ttc again...but dont force it...do it when you are ready and when your body is healed. We are all here for each other for moral support...that is why we are on this forum.

ladies...I worry about you. STACY, LISA, JSTAY, MISSP, SHAB, COL, CLAUDS, MRSHATH, CHRYS, I KNOW I AM MISSING A BUNCH OF YOU BUT MY BRAIN IS STRAINED !!! PLEASE CHEKC IN. mini...I am sorry I missed you, it is good to wait atleast 2 cycles to get pg again. You want your uterine lining to be nice and thick to sustain a viable pg!!!! MILLEY...I am praying for you that the chlomid is all you need. And maybe I dont understand what it is like to wait 2 years to get pg again...but I am here because I lost my child...and that is a pain i will never get over. No matter if I have another child now or not...Like today I seen a pic of me when I was pg with the baby I lost...and it was very hard to look at. I still think about my baby and how old she would have been, what she would be doing and what would she look like. This is something you never forget/ get over or even past. We just learn how to live without. And no matter how easy it is for me to get pg again, it doesnt take away the pain of my loss. I am so sorry that you and Stacy are having a rough go of it...and I want you to know we are here to support you through it !! I have many friends that went through years of trying to get pg, of being tested, and even told they could not have kids, or find a reason for it. And guess what....most of them are now pg with healthy babies...and one even just gave birth !!! So try to think about the fact that everything you are going through is for a reason..and makes you stronger and will make you a wonderful mom !!!

Hi i am only new to this but have found comfort in knowing there are others the same as me, well here's my story...
I have a healthy 4 year old daughter and we have been trying for the past few months to give her a little brother or sister. On thurs i did a preg test which was positive, we were delighted. Went to doc on fri who did another test which was faint but still positive, she said i would be about 5 weeks judging by my last period, later that same day i noticed some slight pink only when i wiped. This continued til monday morning when i woke up the blood was red, enough to wear a pad but not as much as a period.
I went into ER, they did an internal scan found nothing but said maybe it was just too early to see anything! got a blood test to check HCG levels which were low!
When i got home i felt some mild dull pains in my stomach like very light period pains! I went to the toilet and passed a blood clot about 1 inch in size:(
I rang EPU who gave me an appt for this morning... they did an ultrasound and said my womb is empty:( Got another blood test to compare with mondays to see if the HCG has risen or dropped but wont find out til 2moro.
Not sure it will make much difference though since the ultrasound already showed an empty womb:(
I know it may be silly but i'm clinging on to any glimmer of hope!!!

Hi all, I just have a minute to post...Hope everyone is doing well. I don't have time to check what everyone is up to but congrats to those who are expecting and hugs to those still trying. So as for me...I was finally successful at keeping a pregnancy! I guess being off work from 9 1/2 weeks was the trick. I had my little girl on the 23rd of May. My water broke at 35 weeks, she was delivered via emergency c-section and we had to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks due to her being premature and had to learn how to eat! Her name is Keri and she was 5 lbs 4 oz at birth! All is good, she is home and has been for 2 weeks now! It is just a miracle that I have her...thank you all for your support and help.

The EPU rang back yesterday with my blood test results and they said my HCG levels were higher on wednesday than they were on monday which means i may still be pregnant!!
I dont no what to think!!! 1st they say my womb is empty so looks like miscarriage but now HCG rising so maybe just very early stages!
I still have to wait another 2 weeks to have another scan, my head is messed up right now:(

COL....I am so glad to hear you have your healthy precious baby !!! Congrats...it is nice for us on here to see people can go on to have healthy babies after they have been through so much. HUMBUG- I am sorry you are going through this. I pray if you are pg that your baby is healthy and ok. Keep in mind....that generally they cant or dont see anything via u/s until baby is about 7-8 weeks gestation. Even then baby is very tiny. And if your hcg levels are going up there is a very good chance you are pg !!! HCG numbers either double or triple every 2 days and that generally becomes a noticeable number about 6 weeks or so. SO keep ytou head up..there is hope!!!m How are all you other ladies doing....LISA]]]] Are you ok????????? STACY.....I worry about you hun....how is everything?????

Had my ultra sound today. Per her measurements she is about 5 pounds now, give or take a pound. Everything seems to be right where it is supposed to be. I am not sure how this effects my due date or if they will want another closer in mid July. I will know more once I go back for my 2 weeks check up June 29th. I did get a cute pic of her face and she hardly has any room in there. We even got to see the peach fuzz on her head, lots more than my other kids had. AS of Sunday I will be 34 weeks. I still worry daily but I just try to think of getting things ready for her and holding her soon instead. I wish everyone luck!

Hi ladies. well, i found out that i am 4 weeks pregnant on Monday. The bloods came back saying that the hormone levels are rising as they should and my DR is happy with the results. i have my appointment with the Gynie on Thursday 2 July for the first scan...i am very happy and excited but i am so very scared that it will all go wrong again..i am cramping but my gynie says its normal..is it?? and how soon can you see the heartbeat??my appointment is at 6 weeks and im not sure if thats too soon to see it. last time the heart did not develop so i misscaried so i ma etermined to see that heartbeat. help. love to all...

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. We have been travelling and then things are always so busy when you get back. There has been a lot of activity!

STACY - It was so good to hear from you. We have all been very concerned. I definitely understand needing a break, though. How is everything? Have you started Clomid?

COL - Congratulations! Yours was one of the first pregnancies I read about when I found this forum, and I am so glad to hear that you have a beautiful little girl. I hope that she is continuing to grow big and strong.

CREATING - Is your dr. planning an early delivery or are they just going to wait and see. I had GD, so I had lots of scans to make sure dd wasn't too big, but they are still unreliable. They can be off by quite a bit. No matter what, you are very close to holding your fabulous little one!

ANJ3131 - Congratulations! I will say that the worry and stress doesn't go away, though. I will be 16 weeks tomorrow, and there are still find lots of things I am worried about. It was good to pass the 1st trimester, but that doesn't take the fear away.

So, as a I said, I am almost 16 weeks. I have heard the heartbeat with the Doppler 3 times. I think things are going ok. After my trip to the ER, I am very aware of every abdominal twinge. I went to the dr. Monday after I had what I think were severe gas pains on Sunday. (Go ahead and laugh, I know I am ridiculous.) I am switching prenatal vitamins so I can hopefully find one that doesn't upset my stomach so much.

I have finally started to tell a few people, but not many. It was so hard to 'untell' last time, that I am afraid to talk about this pregnancy. My husband says that people will figure it out on their own soon enough, which is true. I need to ask some friends to borrow maternity clothes, though, so I'll be telling more people in the next few weeks. I still haven't even told my mom! Ridiculous, I know. My sister is pregnant, and she is so absorbed with that.

I have the opportunity to take a nap this afternoon, so I am off to do that. Thank you all for everything!

I have not heard from everyone in so long I am was getting worried. I believe Erin was due around the same time as me and I have heard nothing from her. I hope all is well with her.
I am now going to the weekly visits, every Monday. All is well with the baby, the only concern they had was the umbilical cord was loosely wrapped around her neck, but they told me to not worry until I go into labor. They will then do an ultra sound to check it out then. I am still measuring fine and have maintained my weight, so no major increase there. I really dont work out anymore because just walking through the store has become uncomfortable. I get real bad pressure and it feels like the baby is trying to come out. lol
4 more weeks and I am so ready. I cant wait to hold my baby and sleep on my tummy lol

Hi Girls, its been such a long time since i posted - months...im sorry but i just wanted to check in on you all. Just read briefly from the last month or so, it seems to have been quiet! Creating - ive been in touch with Erin on facebook, shes doing great and she had her baby boy at the beginning of june i think quite a bit premature. He was in the special babies ward for a while but im sure hes a home now and she is over the moon. Im suprised she hasnt updated on here about it - or has she and i missed that maybe? Anyway, i really hope everyhing goes ok for you, just so you know my lil boy was born with the cord round his neck and round his shoulder too but he was fine. I was really scared that would happen to me and it did! But everything was fine. Malachi is 9 months old now and hes blooming, a v big baby for his age and hes taken a step on his own but hasnt had the confidence to actually walk further. I cant believe how grown up he is so quickly. Col - i was so happy to hear you at last have your baby girl, what happy news. You must be so soooo happy. Well -id love to hear how some of the other ladies are doing, its been a long time! Lets have some updates! Miss P x x

ANYBODY THERE?????? X X

Still alive and well here. Almost at 38 weeks and so ready to have this baby. Luckily it is a cooler weekend and maybe I can get some cleaning done. The in-laws will be here the first few weeks of August, so hopefully the baby will be born on time or not too late. I have been very grumpy and cramping a lot this weekend so maybe soon. I will try to post something after my 38 week Dr visit Monday. Hope everyone is well.
Thank you for letting me know about Erin, she has been in my thoughts. I will admit a bit jealous she had her baby though lol

Hello ladies..just checking in, I finally have a moment !! ANJ3...how you feeling???? Any sickness yet?? CHRYS....you are what..20 weeks now. Do you know the sex yet??? I am excited to hear news from you !! CREATING....I imagine if you have not delivered that you are pretty miserable now !! I am excited for you as well...cant wait to hear details of little baby !!! COL...how is baby KERI doing??? Sleeping all night yet?? MISSP....Malachi is getting to be a big boy...I need to look at his new pictures !! STACEY...LISA....JSTAY...and all you other ladies I missed....please...please let us know you are ok !

We have been out of town on and off for the last several weeks, but I am trying to catch up. CREATING - We can't wait to hear about the healthy delivery of your little one. It should be soon!

We found out that we are having a boy. He is squirming right now. There is nothing more reassuring. My stress level has decreased a lot since I started to feel movement. It is more noticeable on some days, but I have felt a little something every day for a few weeks.

Like everyone else, I still get sad thinking about the baby that I didn't have, and it has made me far less enthusiastic about this pregnancy. I am sure there will parts that get better after the baby is born, and other things that will always be sad.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of you, and I hope that my experience gives some of you hope. I spent a lot of time on this site after my miscarriage looking for stories of people who went on to have healthy babies. I continue to hope that all of us have the baby we so want.

Hey all - Thanks SHELLY for always asking about me...Only have a minuet to post...FINALLY got my "period" (2 days bleeding) after over a year and two surgeries to correct the ashermans...June 6th - u don't know the party I threw :-) Was given green light to ttc - but road is far from over...concieving may not be too easy - and it's showing thats true as I got my period July 4th again and feel like its comming this week...Hope all is well with everyone!
