    Last update from me for awhile :-(

    Hi Sue Thanks for reading my story and for the sympathy. It's been hard . . . it's my 3rd miscarriage, and my biological clock is just thumping away. Sigh. I have an appointment on the 22nd to see what the next steps should be. The ladies here have been very helpful in giving me hope and...

    Buff Badgers Tues 12/13

    I can't believe the forecast either We have to make a trip to Iowa this weekend (Christmas gathering), and I just can't believe this weather. It's been a rough December. It sure feels like Christmas, though! Jill - You're lucky your boys weren't clingy. Mine isn't sometimes, but it's always...

    Buff Badgers Tues 12/13

    Good morning! Hi Everyone! Nice to be here! :-) I finally feel like I can walk normally again after my crippling bout with MIS on Saturday! I'm doing the July '03 Rotation, so my next workout is Power Hour. I don't own this one on DVD, so I'm doing it off the FitTV program that I TiVo'ed. I...

    Thanks for the info Wow, you've had dinners - that sounds like fun! I'll try to check in here to see what's cookin'! :-) Thanks for the info. Jill - I had to TiVo "Survivor" last night too. It wasn't on until LATE here because of the Packer game. So it didn't start until 10:30. I stayed up...

    Thanks for the welcome, everyone. I hope to check in here often. I don't know anyone IRL who works out to Cathe, so I love the Cathe forums. Didn't know there was a niche for Wisconsinites! :-) Nice to meet everyone. I froze my can off yesterday while putting up the outside Christmas lights...

    Hi! I've never noticed this thread before. . . . :-) I'm a Buff Badger and didn't even know it! Nice to see other Wisconsin ladies on here. I live in Oshkosh - a librarian at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. Hence the ability to surf the internet a LOT. I did MIS on Saturday after a...

    Last update from me for awhile :-(

    I'm so sorry! Hi Eli, I'm sorry you have gone through this too. It is painful, isn't it? All the emotions, bleeding and cramping - wearing a pad - it's all just miserable. I'd like to start back too, but don't want to until this bleeding is mostly done. If you feel good and your bleeding has...

    Last update from me for awhile :-(

    Thanks, everyone. Hi. Thanks so much to everyone for your thoughts. Very few people IRL knew about this pregnancy, so it really helped me to be able to vent my fears and occasional happiness here. I really hope I'm back again on this part of the Cathe Forums someday with happier news. Right now...

    Last update from me for awhile :-(

    That's interesting Thank you for that info. That's very interesting about the folic acid and aspirin. I will mention that to the doctor when I talk to them next. I really hope it could be something that "simple". Thank you so much.

    Last update from me for awhile :-(

    Thank you SO much, ladies, for supporting me throught this difficult and seemingly hopeless early pregnancy of an older woman (35). Last night I had SEVERE cramping, and began passing very large blood clots and losing a lot of blood/water. It is a miscarriage. I'm pretty upset about it, but I...

    Looks like it will be a rocky 1st trimester . . .

    Thanks, Mary Thank you for the kind thoughts. All the ladies on here have been so sweet as I struggle with this. I was so shocked to see that beating heart, and then to hear the less-great news about the shape of that sac thingie. Jeez. I'm just going to try to enjoy the holidays with my son...

    Looks like it will be a rocky 1st trimester . . .

    Hello, If you've seen my previous posts, I'm 7 weeks pregnant. 2 previous miscarriages, 1 successful pregnancy. I've had some bleeding in the past week but my HCG levels are very high. I went in for an ultrsound today. I was convinced I had a missed miscarriage because of the bleeding and...

    Exercise after D&C

    So sorry! Hi, I'm soooo sorry for your loss. I'm worried about my (7 weeks along) pregnancy now, too, and I have 2 previous miscarriages, so I understand how you feel. If I were you, I would start back as soon as you feel ready! I never felt that physically incapacitated after my D&C...

    Hey SLN

    Update I just got the results from today's blood test and it was good. The HCG levels are rising "beautifully". So that's a temporary relief. Hopefully we will get good news at Friday's ultrasound. I'm very happy about the levels, and hopefully this spotting has been nothing significant. Thanks...

    Hey SLN

    Hi! Hello! Thanks for checking in on me. :-) I just got back from traveling for Thanksgiving. Sadly, I'm experiencing some spotting. It started last Wednesday (the first day of our travelling, ugh). It has been very light, and some days not at all. I was out of state when it started (isn't that...

    What did you think of timesaver?

    I think it's good. I haven't had it very long, but I enjoy it when I need a short cardio workout. I don't have the videos that she used to make this (Step Blast, Step Jump and Pump, and Kick Punch Crunch), so for me it's fun. I also have the CTX and that one is talked about more, I think...

    False News about My Miscarriage! I'm amazed and shocked...

    Thank you! Yes, it's amazing news for us. :-) It's hard not be over the moon, thinking up names, calculating due dates and all the fun stuff. I'm trying to stay cool until the ultrasound (but it's hard!!). When I told my regular (wonderful) nurse about what the other nurse said, she said...

    False News about My Miscarriage! I'm amazed and shocked...

    Hi Autumn Hi Autumn, You have been so sweet to me. I really haven't told anyone IRL about this pregnancy, not even my parents, because of all my fears, worries, etc. Of course, my husband knows! :-) I might tell my parents over Thanksgiving, because if I do have an eventual miscarriage I...
