Double .... = healthy baby dust! ***********
I love that you're always sprinkling baby dust on us Sarah, we need it in here!! I've just dumped so much on you I doubt that you can move hahaha
Mildez - you are welcome in this forum at anytime, not all ladies are doing AC
Sarah - thanks for the baby dust.......right back at ya :)
Everyone else happy hump day, wishing you all a lovely day full or happiness and promise
AFM - one foot in front of the other of late, i had a mental health day yesterday just couldn't face coming to work....so needed it. I am so undecided about doing a FET cycle next month! i know i agreed with DH we would wait till April as we are going to Adelaide next month for 4 days but man I feel like waiting is just wasting time. More bloody baby showers coming up, this Saturday we are hosting a BBQ for SIL (we have a pool) and as you know she is pregnant, the friend she is inviting has a 8 month old so I am going to have to listen to crap about being pregnant. Part of me wishes I could come down with a cold so I have an excuse to say we can't host this for you.....i feel mean feeling like that though. Arghhhhh so damn hard!!

Struggling to keep up - I don't get notifications very often!
I've just joined the 12 month plus thread, but it looks very quiet in there!
Positively, I sometimes feel the same hun, with not being sure if I'm 100% ready for the FET next month but I just have to bite the bullet and just do it, as I feel time is really going by fast and If I need to do a stim I need to hurry along. I'm about to O or I am O-ing as we speak, and I feel so sorry for that eggie knowing well that it will just go to waste, like it does every single month. Wish we had some sort of a chance with getting pg naturally, but sadly it's not the case. I feel like waiting is wasting time too. Sorry to hear you'll no doubt have a hard time with the SIL's baby shower, sending you loads of 'hang in there' vibes. Hopefully your SIL and your friends will be attending your baby shower soon xxx
Welcome to the newbies! Sorry to hear you've graduated to this forum but GL with your TTC ladies!
How are you doing Sarah?
AFM, can't believe I will be doing a FET in around 4 weeks :o. This time around I have made some more positive changes so I hope it all helps. I'm making my DP take the menavit just in case we have to go for a stim, God I hope we don't have to. Just the mere thought that I will be 44 in May is giving me heart pulpitations lol.
Hello to all :)
How are you doing Sarah?
Hello to everyone who has just joined us.... :waves:
AFM, I had the appt with the endocrinologist earlier in the week. Turns out I have lymphodema (sp?) so I'm now taking meds for that. Going back next week for further assessment once more bt are back. It appears I have a massive hormone imbalance (which was kept in check somewhat by being on the pill for years) now that I'm off it, so many things are coming up to the surface.
Feeling a bit down on the while thing really..... All I wanted to was to have a baby- maybe it's just not my time yet.
Morning Ladies, happy Thursday to you all
Nova - bugger hopefully the forum gets busier but otherwise you are welcome to stay with us :)
Miss B - glad to hear someone feels like me....makes me feel normal which is great. I o'd on Monday afternoon I rushed home from work and did the baby dance (poor DH..lol) part of me thinks why do we bother trying naturally but if I don't give it a good shot I will kick myself and start doing the whole what if thing. All the best for your FET cycle so good that you have made some positive changes that can only be a big bonus. Thanks for sending the "hang in there" vibes I am so going to need it this Saturday arvo. Getting older when your TTC is crap really but in the scheme of things 44 is young!!
Joski - not sure what you have so I am going to have to google it, hope its easily fixed though. As for the hormone imbalance can herbs help with that? perhaps seeing a good naturopath is a good start. GL though hope it gets sorted quickly for you. As for it not being the right time that is so hard to accept isn't it, its like well I am ready and it's my body so let it happen. I keep wondering if I am supposed to be learning patience or some other life lesson. Again so hard at times
Joe & Sarah I am always thinking of you both, hope everything is going well under the difficult circumstances xx
Everyone else GL, loads of baby dust at ya x

I have cancelled my cycle. I have decided that I won't be trying again. So will be donating my three embryos. I haven't decided how if it will be a private donation or anon.
glorious, how do you feel about the decision to cancel? I hope your embies find a good home. xx
That must have been a very hard decision to make glorious & one that I am sure you didn't make lightly. Wishing you all the best for what life has in store for you xxx
Juniper I feel good about the decision. I know that my family will grow at some point but probably not from my belly.
Glorious, I'm glad to hear you're happy with the decision. :hug:
*hugs* such a strong thing to make a decision like that, i hope it finds you peace.
Glorious, good luck hun, I wish you all the best and much happiness in the future whatever you decide to do. Big hugs xxx

Glorious my heart goes out to you xxxxx I wish I could help you in some way to have that baby I wish all us girls could forgo this hard hard road and placea longed for child in each of our arms.
I am so proud of you for your absolute bravery in making such a tough decision. I cannot decide if I am weak or strong or just dumb for not being able to give up.
I wish you much peace.
Thanks for thinking of me sweet girls I'm hanging in there. Been bleeding heavy for 12 days straight and they have finally decided to give me a d&c on weds as little one is still hanging on after all this time according to my last scan.
Go figure they all couldn't hang on but the one who does, dosent make it.
It's all kinds of mental crazy right now :-/ .
It's weird but I'm kinda proud of it for hanging on :-/
But I can't handle it any more n need a d&c :-/.
Sarah, sorry to hear you need the d&c. I hope it goes as smoothly as possible. I found the d&c quite an easy process (physically). It's the emotional recovery that takes time (as I'm sure you'd have already guessed). This could give you the option for chromosomal testing, if you want that done? :hug:
Thanks juniper xo
Hmm I'd like to get that done ... Is it expensive?
I've had a d&c before. I'm looking fwd to closure that's for sure as it's been a long process. And to stop bleeding! Yuk yuk and the fact it's a MC bleed I'll be glad to have it stop.
Hi Everyone, sorry have been a bit MIA at the moment.
Joe, not sure if you're still reading this thread but just wanted to say I'm thinking of you and wishing you all the best and peace with things, however they may be right now.
Sarah, it is hard to resist swearing thinking about your situation but freaking hell. It just sounds so so hard, mentally and physically. I really admire your attitude and openness about how it feels for you. I can imagine you would be proud of that little fighter. Wishing you healing in your own time.
Joski, I just googled your condition and it looks very full on. Can you tell us more about it? What is your treatment? How are you feeling?
Pos, trying naturally even though you think "yeah right" is so great because it is telling your body you do believe in it, deep down. It is also your heart expressing itself, "this is what I want". I know it sounds a bit kind of spiritual and kooky but I saw a reiki lady a while back and I had all this chest pain and she said, that's your heart and your are not being open about your desires (which was for another baby). And I just broke down in tears and it was absolutely true. Also, I have a science major and I am quite sceptical!
Okay had better get going. I am fasting now for my lap tomorrow and I have to start decluttering because we are selling our house (and moving to a lovely house a few suburbs away - just bought it on Friday - very exciting and stressful!). Also, Juniper, could I be put on the list? I would be "recovering from lap" in the top group I think. And thanks also, I have been reading your checklist a lot!
love to all,
WW
Glorious, glad that you have peace with your decision.:hug:
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
Good morning Ladies, Happy Monday wishing you all a wonderful day filled with love, light and loads of baby dust
Glorious - wow what a tough desciion to make hun, so glad that you are ok with it I guess that makes something like this so much easier when you are at peace with it. GL for the future wishing you loads of love & happiness with your family
Sarah - all the best for your d&c on Wednesday, hope it brings you another few steps closer to some closure, sending big hugs
WW - GL for your lap today hope it all goes really well and you get nothing but positive news back and can get back on the TTC track soon. Thanks to for the encouragement I am very spiritual so I find all that amazing and inspiring too. I agree I dont accept we wont have a bub we will and it will be this year too. A friend told me to put it out to the universe I must write my wish down on paper being a little specific and then burn it outside so the wind carries it off and out in to the universe. So I am doing that this evening
Juniper - I have been thinking of you in your two week wait, hope you are doing well and hope you have some good news to share with us real soon!!
AFM - didn't sleep at all last night I do suffer with insomnia and last night was just one of those nights. I think it's the stress of coming to work you know the idea of it's Sunday first day of the working week tomorrow :( anyway hopefully soon the crappy boss will get his marching orders as the Directors do not like him and realise he is useless and just gets us girls to do his work for him. Had the bbq on saturday for SIL went worse than expected which is sad I just couldn't bring myself to join the conversation with all the women asking her so when are you due? what hospital are you going to? blah blah blah when the conversation started I excused myself and busied myself in the kitchen and then went and joined the guys and kids in the pool
I dont know if I am a bad person but I just can not face talking to her about it, I did hear her friend saying I as in ME would organise the baby shower :( not impressed im actually rather ****ed off
enough ranting........sorry Ladies

If you would like to be added to The List or have your details amended, please just ask (and provide the applicable details).
Sarah, we were quote about $500, from memory. Not sure of the final cost (DH whisked all the bills away before I could see them because he knew I'd be upset). They don't do the testing automatically (they do some testing, but not karyotyping), so make sure you ask your Dr about it if you want it done.
worrywart, hope the lap goes smoothly tomorrow and you have a speedy recovery!
Positively, sorry to hear the BBQ didn't go so well. And I can't blame you for being angry with your sister's friend! I'd be peeved too! And, OMG, I can never get to sleep on Sunday night! Last night I went to bed at 11pm and got to sleep after 3am, then awake again at 5am, then struggling with alarm at 8:30am. Monday is the only day I have to come into the office and I'm sure the entire universe is determined to keep me from sleeping on Sunday nights!!
Enjoy your day Ladies, wishing you all a good one!
Juniper - Oh wow I finally know someone who has the Sunday sleep issue like me. Do you also find that Monday you are ok and manage to cope fine with the day not too tired then you sleep well Monday night however Tuesday you REALLY struggle to get up and going and the whole day is a massive effort to concentrate and stay alert grrrrr so annoying.
AFM - af is due next Monday :( so wishing she doesn't arrive and my TTC journey can come to an end. Did any of you watch 60 minutes on Sunday night? the Mary Coustas story on her fertility struggle, it made me cry so moving and wow she finally got what she so longed for. Do not think I could do IVF 20 times though, firstly I could not afford to and secondly I think it would be far too draining all round. But go on them they stuck at it and they now have fulfilled a dream
Baby dust to us all, love & light x

Ceejelz, Babycakes
If you would like to be added to The List or have your details amended, please just ask (and provide the applicable details).
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!
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" :-(
Sarah, I'm so sorry to hear that. :hug:
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 :(
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 :hug:. I hope your counselling session goes well.
Positively, FX AF says away!! :crossfingers: 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 :crossfingers:
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
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
