Okay girls... Time for a catch up !!

How is everyone doing?

I know there is much sadness here on the boards.. But some happiness too.

Let's have a kitchen table chat to express everything.

It's well overdue for all of us.
Cake, tea and coffee for all.

Vent, cry, celebrate or just gossip.

For me.. I am waiting to o so I can get this show back on the road... Very scared though... What ifs flow through my brain.

Home life is good.
M is being very good at the mo and it's almost blissful.
We are rehoming puppy in 2 weeks. He goes to a rehoming kennel.
Sad but it has to be done.
Not fair on him to stay with us. He needs a proper life with peole who know what they are doing!

Other than that.. Well.. It's all work and nookie!! Lol xxxx

Yes, I agree.

Well you are all pretty much up to date with me, but I'll play. :)

Liz-I can feel your pain with the doggy. We feel the same way, but we have my daughter in the middle so it's not going to happen. Just yesterday while playing with her she scratched the inside of her nose and that little girl bled like crazy. I thought it wouldn't stop. I've never thought I have been a good doggy mom, but we keep trying. :confused:

We are going away in a couple of week for 4 days, 3 nights. It's an amusement park but there are a lot of other things to do in the area so we decided to stay a couple of days. I felt I needed a quick break because I "should" be starting IVF cycle 2 that following week, and that's just a huge stress!

That's pretty much it, trying to relax and enjoy the summer and trying very hard not to dwell on cycle 1.

Hi sweets

Good to see you.
It is sad about rocco... Think the main problem is he has overbonded with me... Which is a nightmare.
Mind you at the mo he's next to me on the sofa but has to have his paws on me... Very cute.

A break will be brilliant for you.
Just what you need a bit of fun to try and lift your spirits.

So happy to hear that you are doing another round so quickly.
I don't know anything about ivf as I am not in the 'allowed' to have category.
Guessing the break will help recharge your batteries for it all to begin.
Plus it gives you guys a little chance to reconnect.

Xxxxxxxxxx

Hey Liz hey Marisal, I mainly lurk all the time. I'm up to nine miscarriages. I just did IVF and it failed. I'm going to do another one in September with a different clinic. I'm getting frustrated that I can get pregnant without treatment, but not with it. I told my husband that I want to stop trying, I have 4 kids already.

Hey Renea, so so sorry about the losses. Have they been able to tell you anything at all as to why you keep MCing. That must be so incredibly frustrating. (((HUGE HUGS))) I mean I don't blame you for wantng to give up that must be so difficult.

Liz-my dog is OVERLY HYPER! I mean she drives us nuts. It's like she is fully charged 24 hours a day. She has gotten better but it's still a whole lot to deal with. What makes her so special to us is tha she is soooo friendly and playful. She is also very loving, but she really does get to us each and every day. I wish mine would sit next to me on the couch, she will do that for MAYBE 5 min at the most, and it's usually because she's tired herself out and needs a quick break. LOL! I wonder a lot about dealing with her while pregnant and then with an infant...

Hey renae. Great to see you still lurk.
I really miss you.
I too am sorry about your losses.
But what Mari said... Have you got any answers about why you miscarry.
I can't remember what tests you have had.
Have you been tested fir mthfr?
The mutation thing.
That's the cause of mine along with hyper fertility.
Also my mil said she had read about two groups of women with reoccurring miscarriage and one group were given a gluten free duet and the majority had a successful pregnancy.
Goid luck with ivf in September. It's myy birthday month so I'll send you my birthday wishes.

Marisol.... Yeah mine us full on too... Worse when it's just me... He barks all the time... Steals attacks the Dior when people go by.
He's not good with young kids either. He's very much jump and luck non stop bur when they go to stand he blocks them and just barks. With babies he just wants to grab and bark at them.
Older kids he's not so bad with and will settle.

The doctor said low progesterone. I'm going to SIRM and hopefully they give me a reason or give me prednisone, or something. I did take asprin before and they said I can do that.

Update on me:

Hmmm, pretty sure everyone knows everything but here goes.
-still waiting for my mom to pass
-Robbie is now 7! he passes grade 1 - awesome marks (5 A's and 3 B's)
-the new house is great, still unpacking
-had spotting on day 22 (which never happens) currently on day 29, had been testing but ran out of tests
-going to see if I can go back to work even 4 hours/day and NOT hurt my jaw
-my 43rd birthday is coming up way too quickly

Everyone else:

Mari - glad you are trying again, I am so disappointed for you
Liz - hoping you are finally able to maintain a pregnancy
Renae - I can understand where you are, and thinking about giving up

What SIRM?

Happy birthday to robbie.
And well dOne to him on his grades! That's fabulous!! One smart cookie.

Sorry about your mum... You are all in my thoughts. What a hard time.

How is your jaw doing?

Keep us posted On what's going on this month.... I send you so much baby dust every month I am surprised you don't choke on it.

When is your birthday?
Doing anything special??
