having a baby

I am 24 and I live in the UK with my husband Tony. We have been married for nearly 4 years. For the last 5 years we have been trying for a baby. In the last few years I have been pregnant 9 times but had one ectopic and 8 m/c. It has been difficult but the love, strenghth and support we have has got us through.

I am Anti-Nuclear Antibody Positive (ANA). There is an association between ANA and recurrent pregnancy loss. My consultant has reccomended that I take 75mg Asprin on the confirmation of a positive pregnancy test then once a scan has confirmed viability I will have regular Tinzapraine injections throughout pregnancy.

The Latest!!!

I was due on my period on Sat 12th July but had no period pains, I did a pregnancy tests x 4 and they were all positive. We were not trying yet but I suppose thats the best time. We were going to go on our holiday in August first. I went straight out and bought some Asprin as recomended by the consultant. I am really scared because if the treatment does not work then there is no more hope for us, so fingers crossed. I telephoned the consultants PA to inform him and get an appointment. We go to see him and for a scan on the 29th July. Usually we go slighlty earlier but they have said they need to see a heartbeat before they can give me the injections. The appointment seems so long away and I am sure it will drag. I am really scared but will take one day at a time and hope that this time it is meant to be.

My blogs will tell my story so far and what has happened on my scans.

The main thing is that I am going to be a Mum!! I can't believe it has finally happened and that we have heard the heartbeat and seen our little one moving around looking healthy! x

Hi, thanks! I think she's in denial or burying her head in the sand and my comments hit home a bit hard.

Hope you well - we've not got long to go now and with christmas and new year it'll be here in a flash. Good Luck!!!! x

yes I agree, I don't think I'll ever enjoy a pregnancy after the 3 miscarriages I've had. It's like I was saying the other day to Rainbowrach, pregnancy is the thing I want most in the world but it's also the thing I fear most in the world because I'm scared of having another miscarriage. Miscarriage takes away all the enjoyment of being pregnant. I was so calm with my first pregnancy, I had no idea I would miscarry and just went along with it as happy as Larry, now I am an emotional wreck as soon as I find out xx

Aw bless you, why are you scared all the time? xx

I would love to be able to keep it from Steve until Christmas and wrap up the test for him to open as a surprise gift. But I know I just wont be able to keep it from him!! Also, we have all his family over at Christmas and I dont want them all to know. Listen to me, assuming its going to happen!! hehe A girl can dream
Glad to hear your job is safe. Try not to worry about Tonys, its not always last in first out. I have had to make someone redundant before, its the worst thing EVER. She wasnt last in, she was just the weakest team member. Awful though.
You are good having everything done. I have bought a couple of pressies, which is REALLY good for me. I normally go out and get them all in one go after the December pay day which is normally about 19th December!
I am a big kid at christmas too.......but winnie the pooh and tigger..... ..... you are a nutter Shelly. I hope you get a camera for Christmas so you can take pics to show me. x x hehe x x

hi and thank you for thinking of me. I have also heard about the lady and will ask about this at my appointment on Monday. After hearing about it I am now taking 2 folic acid tablets a day just incase I fall pregnant again this month. You never know do you! how are you anyway xxx

oh Shelly, I am so sorry. Trust me to stick my foot in it! I am very sorry you lost your gran x I hope that in time the pain will turn to happy memories of her, of course you will always miss her x
I am feeling ok. I am getting a bit fed up with TTC (obviously not the fun part!). I just want to be pregnant already!! I know I have to be patient and it will happen, it just feels like FOREVER! I am in the 2ww at the moment, AF is due next weekend so fingers crossed. We have done everything right this month so I guess its just down to fate.
Steve is ok thank you, hows Tony? Steve had a redundancy announcement at his company a couple of weeks ago but he isnt affected (phew). He was REALLY worried about it before they told him he is safe. My company have announced redundancies too but they arent going to do them til after January. I cant be arsed to worry about it!! If its me, I will deal with it when it happens! haha
Not long til Christmas! What have you got planned, apart from staying sober of course, hehe x

Hi sweetie, hmmmmm having no camera or computer does cause a bit of an issue!! I am sure you would get funny looks taking pics of your belly in the office! haha How is your boss being with you now? You had a couple of days off - did you do anything nice? I didnt see GMTV, that sounds really interesting though. Seems crazy that something so simple could be causing all that heartache. I will bear it in mind, if I have another M/C (which is NOT going to happen) I will ask for that test......actually, I will mention it to my doc to see if I can it checked soon rather than later.
