The Moon is Your Cradle...Oct-Nov

[alwayzrn]

We are a thread of women who have lost our Precious Babies for one reason or another....we all come here to support each other and lend an ear when needed. Some of our beautiful women come to update us on their TTC activities and some of us are on TTC Break, but all of us are trying to deal with the losses of our Angels! ALL ARE WELCOME!!

Please PM your information if you would like your information posted!! WELCOME!!

Thanks for the beautiful new thread Adrianne! What kind of information do you want us to provide?

[MT]

Adrianne,

Thanks for keeping us together and thank you for making me feel welcome as a TTC'er on the thread. I definitely feel more at ease talking with you guys about it because you completely understand my fears and my frustrations and you have all become very important to me. I am just sorry that we've had some ladies drop off as of late. Perhaps we will see them again and perhaps we will make some new friends along the way (I hope).

Missy

Thanks for the new thread! I love the name!

I have started the Femara and go in Wed to see if it's working. I have a feeling I will be on to injectibles.

[alwayzrn]

Niki--I mean if you want your loss information on the OT...How are things going with you?

Missy--You and any of the other ladies that are TTC are always welcome here. I know it is hard ttc after losses, the fear that you feel that it will happen again etc. I just didn't feel that we belonged in the ttc thread. We have alot more going on with us than just simply worrying about ttc. You are always welcome!!

Alicia--Do you feel that the femara is not working? Either way I will be keeping everything crossed for you! KUP!!

I'm here. Thanks for the beautiful new thread.

In my news: DH has accepted a job in Pittsburgh. We move in 2 months! I am so nervous and excited and scared.

Not sure if I O'd this month, but I think I did around CD 14 or 15, so I'm testing on Saturday. Wouldn't it be a hoot if I got pg NOW?

Hope everyone is doing well. Hi to all!

[biogal]

Missy & Alicia, best wishes this month! I hope to hear a bfp announcement soon!

Samantha, congrats to your dh and best wishes with the move! It always seems to pour when it rains, so you probably will get a bfp! I'm crossing my fingers that's the case!

Adrianne, thanks again for the new thread! Also, thanks for asking about me (see below). How are you?

AFM, you may have noticed in my siggy that we are moving on to surrogacy. My cousin is going to act as a gestational carrier--we will transfer our embryos to her uterus. We've done the contracts and are now waiting for her to get an appointment for testing at my clinic. I'm hoping to do another ER to get a bigger selection of embyros and ideally would love to do an ET in Jan. I meet with my RE on Thursday to go over the next steps. Wish us luck on this new journey!

[Jilconmom]

Niki: How exciting for you! I hope you guys can get everything in order to do the ET in January!

[MontanaMama]

Hi ladies, I've been following all of you, quietly. Everyone gave me such kind support & I didn't want to make anyone uncomfortable...so I've been lurking. I wish for everyone the things they desire, I think we deserve it.


As you can see by my siggy I'm of course twisted up with worry. Things were going well until I started slight spotting last saturday. I have an ultrasound thursday, but that won't make me feel any better, I'll still be worried that this is a repeat of last time. There is nothing I can do but wait. It's nice to come to a place where the women understand my fears.

Good luck! Kristina

[alwayzrn]

Kristina--I am keeping you and this baby is my prayers. I hope this is your sticky bean!! You are so welcome here and will not make anyone uncomfortable. I think these women have brought me through some of the hardest times of my life. If it weren't for them I would have probably had a breakdown!! Welcome again!!

Niki--You are definitely blessed! Your cousin seems to be a very loving person! One of my best friends offered to carry a child for dh and I but I dont want to spend the money to do it! It is really frustrating on the cost of some of these treatments. But I know you will give Myles a beautiful sibling!

Samantha--That is wonderful that dh got a job, but I had moving! I do hope that you get your bfp, that would be wonderful!

[Licsh]

Niki - that's great news! I'm so excited for you, I hope everything goes as planned for January.

Kristina - i will send tons of sticky vibes your way, please let us know how your u/s goes.

Adrianne - I don't really feel anything on the Femara, i guess it's just hard for me to believe any pill will work for me since clomid had zero effect. It woudl be nice if the Femara worked and I didn't have to do the pricey injectibles but I'll do what I have to.

Hi girls I hope you don't mind me posting

** pg mentioned**
I've made it to 19 weeks tomorrow but am having a hard time at the moment staying positive, i seem to be on a countdown to when i lost my girls at 22w3d, I hope once I'm past that point I'll settle a little
***

Nikki I wish you every possible success with surrogacy and hope you can do your ET in January, how exciting for you all. You and Myles are in my thoughts, a beautiful angel to watch over you all and babies to come.

Adrianne how are you these days, I think of you and your boys often.
I love the new name I'd lost you on the ttc boards.

Kristina sending you buckets of sticky dust, I hope this little one stays put for a nice long 9 month haul

Alicia I hope the femera does the trick for you

Missy and Samantha hello

[uwalcott]

Hi ladies-- is this the new "TTC #2 or more after a loss" thread?

If so I guess this is one of my new homes too...

Niki, I wish you the absolute luck of the century with your surrogacy journey!

Kristina-- lotsa sticky dust. It is scary in the beginning, thinking of you.

Missy, Lisch and Samantha-- hope you all get your BFP's soon!

Adrianne- how are you?

AFM-- fetal echo went well...the bright spot has disappeared...so that is good, I am trying to be positive and hopeful! I have my good days and bad days...

[framin_memories]

Hey Ladies! I found the new thread!

Adrianne..wonderful title and explanation.

Missy...I have to live vicariously through someone while I'm on break. It might as well be you and the others on the thread. Like Adrianne has said in other posts...your babies seem to become our "thread babies".

Alicia...I hope you see some results from the Femara. But I'll be here to support you through inj

Samantha...it would be your luck to get pg this month. I know when I worked full time and less time to obsess..I dealt with ttc a lot easier. I hope the move goes smoothly and you'll arrive just in time for SNOW! Will you be there before Christmas?

Niki...it sounds like you all have some exciting months ahead of you. That is so awesome that you have found a gestational carrier. We'll be keeping track of the days with you.

Kristina..I'll be looking for an update on Thursday. Try your best not to worry. I know that's easier said than done.

Hela..hi and welcome!

Suzi..glad to hear that the echo went well.

AFM..I have 2 more weeks of soccer and then Saturday will be mine again! YES! We have a horrible record and it is very obvious that we are probably the youngest team in this league. It's sad. But the kids want to always play...now if they would just listen and really PLAY!

Remember my ins gripe? Well it turns out that BCBS has totally stopped paying for appts for all patients that use that particular plan. Now, I know that they do not cover infertility BUT they covered appt since Jan. Anyways...DH works at the hospital where I go. BCBS (a particular plan with them) is the only ins offered to employees of that hospital. So now all the employees and/or spouses of employees will no longer have sonograms and other things covered. I called DH and said WTH is that about? How can you work at a hospital that doesn't even offer its employees an option in ins that covers something that is obviously medically necessary? UGH! All they can do is offer 25% off the cost. Well that still makes it a pretty decent size bill (don't forget DS was in the hospital for 10 days too). I told DH that it really pisses me off because it seems pretty ass backwards to me. He said that we will ttc again and deal with the bills later...I just can't help but think that the stress of knowing the bills are coming, would affect me in a stressful way. So anyway...I guess I'll see what our flex acct has for medical and see if there is enough to cover ttc again at the first part of the year.

Man...when will ins companies realize that infertility is so for real it's not even funny!

[Jilconmom]

Thanks for all the well wishes ladies!

Felicia: No, we're going to stay in Tally through Christmas, then go up between Christmas and New Year's. His family lives here in Tally and my dad is in S. Florida, so we wanted to be sure we could spend the holiday with them. Jeff's official first day is January 5th, so he'll have some time to help me get settled.
