Pregnancy Info HOME

Hello Karen - of course I remember you. Great to hear from you. Although it is still heartbreaking to think about your loss I am so glad that the autopsy brought you some closure and a positive outlook. DEFINITELY change your OB (and I'm behind you all the way with your idea of reporting him - employ some good support from an official body too!) and make sure you get good advice about your next steps in TTC. I really hope that you come and chat to us more and keep us updated with everything. Big Hugs to you and looking forward to hearing your news. XOXOXOX

Hi Karen. I'm with Hopeful on reporting the doctor. Even though people make mistakes, doctors need to take extra care when dealing with PG ladies. I'm sorry for all you have been through. Can you please remind me of how old you are since you mentioned it? I just don't remember. Well, welcome back! VAL..... yummy, a ma__sage. I could go for one now, but I keep spending our money on baby things that I want and don't necessarily need. For example, I colored my own hair, so I could get stuff for the nursery that isn't necessarily a NEED. I ordered my rocking chair yesterday. DH is afraid that it is going to fall apart on the first rock, but I'm pretty confident it will suffice. The problem is that I still don't have a nursery to put all this dreamy stuff in! Like I said before, there is an empty bedroom and bathroom upstairs, but that's where I keep the kitty litter, and since we are moving sometime within the next two months probably, I'm not going to put the stuff in there. I don't want kitty litter dust to get all over everything, and I surely don't want to sanitize the room and move the litter if we are moving. Do I make sense? We should know within a few days (I HOPE) whether we will be buying a house or renting one, but either way, we are leaving here. You know, here is some good news......my RLS is under control. It was the blood sugar making it happen, It just had to be. Coincidentally, when I stopped eating carbs and started testing my sugar, it practically went away. Last night, after dinner, my blood sugar was the highest it's been because I had too many carbs, and I had some restlessness! This cannot be a coincidence.

Hi Karen!! How wonderful to hear from you. I am glad you are doing ok. That is very awful about your incompetent OB, Big Hugs. As you can see I am still around TTCing although I don't post as much. I have had all the bloodwork done and it was fine, so its just time I guess. I am ovulating as we speak. Wel,, be rest a__sured I will still be lurking around the board if you decide to try again. The rest of the ladies babies are due very soon. Wishing you all the best!

Hi Karen - it's good to hear from you. I'm so sorry about your doctor - it does sound like he could have done more. I'll send good thoughts your way that you'll be able to conceive again if you decide that's what you want to do. Take care and keep in touch! xoxo -V

Hi ladies. Thanks for your kind thoughts. It was great to hear from you and I'm glad all is well with you. Lovemy3 I am keeping my fingers crossed for you this month! Since I lost the baby in November I had put the thought of having my own baby out of my head as I really thought because of my age there was something wrong with my eggs but after learning he was 100% okay it has got me thinking. I am actually having a very hard time wresting with all the what ifs this time. I am not sure if you remember but last 2 times I got pregnant were by accident. My OB was kind of amazed that I fell pregnant at 43 considering we didn't even BD around my ovulation. But after being pregnant it made us think that we do want a child between us, as we don't have one together, but both have kids from previous relationships. I just always a__sumed we were too old and never thought about it until it happened by accident. So now I am wondering if I am going to be able to get pregnant, to start, how long it might take as I don't have time, and then of course the risks of something being wrong are so much greater at my age, and then the thoughts of people asking me how old my grandchild is, doesn't exactly thrill me. There is so much to consider but I can't stop thinking about how much I want another child to love and how the baby would unite our family. I just can't imagine losing another one though. I know how Col must feel, like walking on egg shells. Lovemy3, how do you handle the disappoint every month? It must be very, very frustrating for you. But then again you have a lot more time than I do. I really hope this is your month! Thanks again ladies - have a good Sunday.

Hi Karen, I do find it very disappointing. My first 3 were concieved the first month and I had NO idea all this infertility stuff existed. I just had intercourse and that was that. So, its been a big learning expereience and has really opened my eyes and my compa__sion for other woman dealing with this. In some ways it has been used for good, HOWEVER, I would just like to hurry up! Its funny, the first 3 months I was just shocked, I had picked up some new baby stuff, booked my first appointment. I just thought, for sure i wold be. At the 4th month, I started to panic about it. Each month I would cry the day my af arrived. Now the last 2 months, no tears and it has become a reality it may not ever happen. I am very thankful for my 3 and if that is that, then it is more than I could have ever dreamed!! Keep me posted on your decision making. Good luck and follow your heart.
