Positively, I'd never considered that, but it's certainly true today! Yesterday I was tired, but did manage to get through a 9-hour work day (including my first performance review in 4 years!) on 4 hours of sleep. Today I struggled to get out of bed at 10am (was awake from 9am, but wanted to go back to sleep) after 8 hours of sleep and have done nothing (aside from getting DD breakfast - a peanut butter sandwich and an orange, after briefly considering just giving her a choc chip hot cross bun because she kept saying "no" to the sandwich)... FX for a surprise BFP for you and no AF on Monday!

**Sarah4kurt13** · February 25th, 2014, 01:18 PM

Sarah I had the chromosome testing done in August last year and it cost around $600-$700. Not sure if im pleased I had it done as I found out
there was nothing wrong with the baby and it my little girl I lost I'm still completely devastated and cry lots about it.

Will be back soon for more persies think I spelt that right

Aw rai you poor thing! That's just so hard and I can understand why it upsets you so much. I think I would feel the same way as you. So I'm not doing the testing. I'm over tests! Lol.
On another yukky note I'm finding another level of crushed as my DF and I are possibly at splitsville :-( 2 days before my d&c!!! He is made of stone I think!!
So I don't know where to from here all my dreams are shatterd.
What is up with my life?!
We were getting married and thought we were finally having our baby and whammo" :-(

**juniper76** · February 25th, 2014, 03:28 PM

Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear that.

**JoeSpratt** · February 25th, 2014, 04:04 PM

Worrywart & sarah I hope things went ok today xx

Also sarah, hoping that it is just the enormous stress that you both must be under at the moment that is causing problems for you & your DF xx try to keep the dialogue going ( I know it is hard to get guys to sit down & open up!). Wishing you all the very best xx

AFM still trying to work out where I am. Off to the counsellor next week. I'm just not ready to give up my dream yet & am struggling with all the emotions that come with this. I have no idea how/if I will ever find peace with it all

**Miss.B** · February 25th, 2014, 09:05 PM

Worrywart, I hope your lap went well

Sarah, I'm sorry to hear that hunni

I agree with Joe, you guys have had so much stress lately, hopefully you can work through the issues.

Joe, big hugs hun

. I hope your counselling session goes well.

Positively, FX AF says away!!

I'm sorry the BBQ didn't go well hun

. And a big boo to your SIL's friend for suggesting that you organise the baby shower. Some people!! Grrrrrrr!

AFM, AF should be a week and a bit away now (I'd love a 29 day cycle as per normal), and then we're in the game again. I have been good, no more occasional ciggie, eating regularly and stress levels a bit lower lately. That should do it! lol. I'm borrowing a CD from a friend who used it in her cycle and then she lent it to another friend who used it in her cycle, both had a bfp to show for it. Apparently it's supposed to put you and your body in the right frame of mind to prepare you for a pg. Hope it works

**PositivelyGTC** · February 26th, 2014, 08:26 AM

Sarah - so sorry to hear you and DF are having a tough time, I too think it's the stress of TTC it's a damn tough journey for couples. GL hope things work out for you guys, perhaps some counselling would help x GL with the d&c today hun hope it all goes well

Joe - so sorry you are struggling at the mo hope the counselling finds you some peace, perhaps you are not ready to give up trying just yet your heart and mind seem to be in conflict with your decision....just a thought

Miss B - how exciting that you get to start your FET cycle soon wooohooo. What is the cd you are listening too called? ive tried circle & bloom and that is amazing not that ive got my BFP but it sure drops your stress levels which must be a good thing
just interested to know what it is I always like to look at alternatives

FX for a normal cycle

WW - hope your lap went well, thinking of you

Ladies have an awesome day, take care of yourselves, love & light xx

**PositivelyGTC** · February 26th, 2014, 08:46 AM

Juniper - re the sleep I have just a few minutes ago purchased circle & blooms "blissful sleep" programe. I have tried there other down loads and they have been fantastic so hoping this works
I will let you know

Also for the rest of the ladies C&B have a programe called "happy mind & healthy body" this one is targeted at reducing stress which is a problem for me I am naturally a worry wart so going to
try this too and if I can see the benefits i will let you know for those of you who may be interested

Im day 1 =) fet this cycle

**Miss.B** · February 26th, 2014, 09:59 PM

Positively, not sure what it's called but I'll let you know when I pick it up later this week

GL TT40!

**worrywart** · February 27th, 2014, 08:15 AM

Hi Guys,
Just a quick note to say I am recovering really well and didn't have to lose any tubes, thank goodness. Endo was extensive though and the whole right ovary had to be taken apart and stitched up again. I was under 1.5 hours. I feel pretty good though.
Hope everyone else well as can be.
Sarah, I really hope that things get sorted between you and your DF. External stressors in your life are so overwhelming right now.
Joe, I have been thinking about you and how you said you didn't want to be on the list anymore ... and just hoping that the counselling helps you work through things to where you are feeling more clarity about whether to keep trying or not, or what to do at all. It is so hard.
MissB, GL for your cycle and the CDs sound like the great idea.
GL TT40 for your FET!
Pos, thanks for the reference to C&B. I think I'll give it a go, though I am not the best with downloading things.
WW

**PositivelyGTC** · February 27th, 2014, 08:25 AM

TT40 - GL with your FET cycle hope it brings you a BFP at the end of the cycle!

WW - So glad to hear you are feeling good after the lap and that the surgery was a success for you. I am terrible with downloading stuff I am such a techno phobe

but seriously this is easy to do

Juniper - when are you testing? FX

Ladies wishing you all a lovely day, baby dust to us all x

WW, glad to hear it went well and you aren't feeling too bad. Put your feet up and rest as much as you can until you're recovered. xx

Positively, I'll only test if I think there's some chance of a BFP, otherwise I'll just wait it out. Earliest testing would be 11dpo...

**Sarah4kurt13** · February 27th, 2014, 08:11 PM

Oh thanks for your positive words girls, yes the stress has been phenomenal that we have been under! ... Luckily DF and I are working it out now. Phew! I felt like I was losing everything and every one in my whole life.
D&c went fine yesterday. DF took me and was supportive which was good. Between us He's been a real insensitive jerk when I was struggling so bad before!

But I'm feeling a lot better now after the d&c like I've got some closure now and can move on. I'm re evaluating my life and getting my happy back!
I'm getting a puppy for starters! :-) and I'm going to mummy it to death hee hee.
And I'm doing anything to get me happy.
So put me back on this list juniper please :-) waiting for AF"

But my ttc efforts are going to be secondary to getting happy I've decided. If I want to have a drink or 2 here n there on weekends or something I'm allowing it! I've been so strict on myself for too long!
I'm still alive n kicking!!!
Lots of luck n love girls and miss b a ton of baby dust for your new cy!

Oh and positively ttc, I love your attitude! Keep it up I'm sure it helps :-)

Worrywart, I'm glad they got all that endo out sounds like you should be nice n cleaned out in there now ... Rest up and I hope it clears the way for your miracle :-)

**juniper76** · February 27th, 2014, 08:17 PM

Sarah, that sounds like a fabulous plan! Have you picked out a puppy? Do you know what type? I'm glad to hear you and your partner are working through the issues and that he was there for you yesterday.

**1 more please** · February 28th, 2014, 06:43 AM

Sarah I'm so pleased you and your DF are working it out, my dp was not supportive at all either so then we just have to work out our way of dealing with it which sucks. Great news about puppy and a fantastic attitude I like it xxxx

WW really pleased your feelilng ok after lap, rest and take care of your self xxx

Joe good luck with the counselling hopefully you can find some peace with everything, completely understand with not being able to give up yet I cant either, praying you get your happy ending with a bfp soon xxx
afm: Juniper could you please put me down as CD2 today please, I had my trigger on Tuesday morning and iui on tue afternoon then dtd on Wednesday and was supposed to dtd last night
but had an argument instead:-( men are insensitive idiots sometimes
