ok, question... i had the d & c done 9.30 at night.. so i woke up the next morning feeling fine. no cramps no blood loss... i get up this morning, no cramps, just a tinge of blood on the paper... but, my boobs feel really heavy and larger.. as if to say, tomorrow morning they will have milk, just the same as after having a live full term birth.... is this normal ??? will i expect to have fuller boobs again tomorrow ???? even though i was only 12 weeks.

Aww Shawn, i'm so pleased for you, your little bubba will be so worth the wait and all your patience. How are you feeling Jodi? my heart goes out to ya. No news from Angel yet? i'll have to check FB. I have 5 weeks left, thats 35 days!!! till my due date, although i go to see the big doctor on tuesday as he wants to induce me at 38 weeks, thats only 3 weeks time arrrggghhh!!! i'm really looking forward to meeting him or her now, although i'm not ready...but i will be no doubt lol. Anyway ladies, good luck all waiting for that BFP, go for it now Jodi, i was told to TTC straight after my M/C, my doctor said i was most fertile. I have to go, Chris is calling, can't believe he turned 1 already, it only feels like i had him the other week. madness!! Love n babydust to all xxx

hi ya girls... good luck shawn i hope you have a fantastic, glitch free pregnancy... enjoy every moment xxxx. i had my dr apt today.. not sure that i think much of him... i had my blood taken before seeing him as I want to check my hcg levels and keep an eye on them. he said not to bother, since i had a d&c there shouldnt be anything there... i dunno.. and he said its right for me to ttc away if i feel like it, as he said lots of women find themselves pg straight away. but cant tell me if or when i should get AF. told me to come back in 3 months if not pg and go clomid then... hehehe already took clomid these past few days.. it will do something or it wont... no harm in trying to bring on O... and hubby and i are sexually active already... 2 times this week.... not sure if he is just being nice or if he has a job to do... either way i am not going to question his motives or say no... cameron is just non stop walking now for the past 2 weeks and has now got 8 teeth.. they grow so so fast.. he will be 1 yr in just 2 more weeks... and all he says non stop is mum mum mum, refuses to say dad... i am so loving that.. he also points and say botbot for his bottle or cup.. and he hates the vacuum cleaner... absolutely howls. so doing house work is becoming a bit tricky... he has a toddler bed. so so cute, but wont get out.. he will sit there quietly till someone gets him... will be back with my hcg levels tomorrow... till then, stay happy and healthy... xxxxx Jo

jodi im so sorry, i really hope your one of those people who are really fertile after a m/c and fall pregnant soon........shawn congratulations again, hope you have a smooth pregnancy!.....
well im STILL pregnant! 8 days overdue now, i was a week early with heidi so i feel even more late? i had a membrane sweep tuesday...didnt seem to do anything, i will have another one tomorrow or saturday depending if if my midwife is busy friday and if that fails have to ring L&D 8am monday morning and see when they can fit me in for an induction, hopefully that day but if there bust i'll have to wait, they dont like you to go 12days over here so monday i'll be 12 days over so i doubt they'l leave metoo long....im worried about being induced :/ when she swept my membranes she said i was 2cm but my cervix was still about 1-2cmlong and medium softness so baby needs to bring its head down lower to thin out my cervix....they'l either just use that gelthey put on your cervix to start labout or just break my water if i dialte anymore, i'll try and keepyou updated but if not anyone who has my facebook id free to update on here for me....its nice to know that this timenext weeks i will have anew little baby

 

jodi-ttc-08 - June 25

wow angel... its so close now.. that baby is too comfy and snug in there.. good luck, i hope it goes smoothly for you. and is an easy labor and birth. as for me my hcg levels from yesterday came back at a minimal 5... so i guess thats good. either i will get af very very soon or O... i am going to wait 4 weeks and get another hcg if af hasnt arrived.. shal, i dont see any reason to be induced.. your a pro at this... the baby will come when ready. whats the rush ???? i dont understand the reason behind being induced for you..

 

Shal - June 25

Congratulations to Angel who had a baby girl this afternoon, she weighed 8lb and she said they are both doing well,,,it was on FB. The reason the doctor wants to induce me Jodi is because i carry Group B Strep, which is how my little Stanley died, and because Chris came after a labour of only 1 hour 35 minutes there was no time to get the IV antibiotics into me so Chris had to stay in hospital for 4 days on his own antibiotics. Which is a bit scary because if he had contracted GBS it could have got to him before the antibiotics had a chance to work. The doctor is talking about giving me a controlled labour at 38 weeks to avoid me going into a speedy labour and that happening again but i dont like the idea of having a minimum of 8 hours of pain while the 2 doses of antibiotics get into my so i' going to speak to him about giving me the antibiotics the night before then just starting me off and letting it happen as quickly as it wants to, or....maybe starting a course of oral antibiotics at 38 weeks, seeing as most of my babies have been a week early, i've read that oral antibiotics can be just as effective. So it's not just because i'm impatient or anything lol, there is a valid reason for him wanting to induce me, we need to have a proper chat about it on tuesday though as the thought of being induced really doesn't thrill me at all, so we'll see, i'll let you know what he says. Are you back on the OPKs Jodi? get that O tracked!!! it'll happen soon you'll see xx

 

jodi-ttc-08 - June 25

ahhh. now i get it... good thinking 99'...so shal, after this one, are you going to go again ??? i dont know whats happening with me.. after the d&c i had minimal loss, just pink tinge on t/p... not enough to wear a panty liner.. but now i'm cd 9 i think i need to.. its still only when i go to the toilet but might need to protect my underwear very soon...i dont know what its doing. coming or going.. i can only assume that my hcg level would now be zero...and i took clomid, just couldnt help myself.. so i would be due to O in the next few days if its doing its job, but with having some loss i wouldnt want to colour my hubby's willy.. he's not keen on that..lol. we have bd twice already but that would have no effect on ttc. hopefully it goes away soon... wow another girl for angel..... thats fantastic.... i will be back soon to update some more.... good luck to everyone... i have a heap of opk's left over from last cycle back in march and still have a pack of 50 hpt's too... so i'm all stocked up... can wee away at leisure...lol.

thanks shal for updating for me.....we have decided to name her chloe summer, she is doing great had a few problems breastfeeding at first but she's now a pro, Heidi loves her!
labour was ok was having random contractions about 3:30am friday morning they got to about 5-10mins at 8am by 9:30am they were 2mins apart so got to the hospital about 10 and was 6cm! at about 12pm i kept getting horrible pressure in my back i was begging for an epi but the midwife said it would be too late and said she'd break my waters to speed it up....went to do that and i was 10cm! had to sit up awhile to bring her down...pushed her out in about 6 pushes! :)

 

jodi-ttc-08 - June 30

angel, thats fantastic, i am so happy for you and your new little family. well done chicky.xxxx i had heaps of feeding problems with cameron at the start.. had 2 home visits from lactation consultants, plus numerous health care centre visits.. i persisted and won.. fed him for 5 months before he got a bottle.. when my first period came he went off it.. must of tasted different, as he didnt want anything to do with my boobs when af arrived.. so upsetting... i loved feeding him.. that was time for just us, to snuggle and gaze into each others eyes... so precious... today is cd 13 and i told hubby for the next 8-10 days i would like to bd every 2nd night.. amazingly he doesnt seem fazed by my request... will wait and see what happens... i might be pushing my luck...i got a faint 2nd line on opk's today as compared to crystal clear all days prior... so i might have O approaching.. fingers crossed... shal, hows the tummy going...?? big and wriggling alot now i bet.. talk soon everyone.... xxx

 

angelmonkey - June 30

jodi she seems to be feeding great now :) she was very mucusy after birth which is why she wasnt even interested in trying, i breasfed Heidi for 5 month exclusivly and then she went off it, i cant remember if i got my first AF around that time? i managed to carry on breast and formula feeding her until 7months before she just completly refused the boob, i cried going to the shopes to buy her formula lol.......i hope your plan on BD every 2nd night works...good luck

 

wantanotheraftertr - June 30

well ladies I gave up as you know and got a nice dark BFP this afternoon! Looking like a march 5 2011 baby! Please pray this one is sticky we werent trying and only bd 2 times this whole month no clomid no nothing I guess I best break out the prenatels folic acid baby asprin and already got the prometrium called in to the pharmacy to pick up and start tonight before bed! wow what a day Im exhausted so many emotions Im scared stupid! Shal let me know how its going! Hannah congrats again even though I told you on FB she is beautiful!

 

jodi-ttc-08 - July 1

pam, thats brilliant... can i ask you, if you know, does using clomid increase the risk, carry a higher volume of m/c ??? as to non clomid pg's.. i got to bd last night, so far off to a good start. today is cd14 i usually O cd17.. i am slowly getting there... ttc seems to drag along slowly when your counting days...

 

wantanotheraftertr - July 1

Jodi I think clomid is associated with a higher risk of m/c My RE made me sign a form reguarding this as well so I am completely convinced that it does this is pregnancy #5 since my tr in oct 06 the only child I do have Joe is the only one that wasnt clomid till this one so I am so hopefull this time. I am praying this one goes well! Good luck to you I usually O around cd16 myself sometimes earlier or later so hard to tell!

 

stilltryingfor6 - July 1

OMG Pam!! You got a BFP!!! That is SOOOO awesome!!! I'm so happy for you!! Not trying and THEN you get pregnant! Isn't that crazy? LOL

Well I'm 8 weeks and 1 day today! I have another sono tomorrow just to be sure everything is progressing as it should. I'm nervous and excited! I still feel like I'm dreaming and someone is going to snatch this away from me sometimes! I just pray about it though!

Well I always read, but I don't type much! I am always around though! So nice to see after all of these years this thread is still alive! It's crazy! LOL

Everyone have a great day and great weekend!;)
