Welcome Mel, I hope you get to start IVF soon and that nothing else pops up in the meantime.

AFM arrived in QLD for our holiday today so is nice to have a change of scenery the only thing is AF is now 10 days late which is driving me crazy!! Just want it to come so I can start my next round

Welcome Mel. Hopefully 2013 is the year for you & nothing else stands in your way of beginning the ivf journey.

Sorry Rai & Juniper

Afm - just hanging out for bt Wednesday. So hope it's positive - feel bad for lying to everyone over this tww. I am not a very good lier.

[kbudgie]

i am sorry for the vent but here goes

i am struggling at the moment after mc feel upset and angry and i know that there are some positive things like we actually got pregnant after 2 years tcc

dh is very positive but maybe too much at times. we were in the supermarket yesterday and i was feeling angry and upset and we argued and i ended up in tears. i just want af to come so we can try again, it's probably the first time i ever wanted af to come, ironic huh

i have days i think it's getting easier then i have a bad spell again :'(

kbudgie, please don't feel like you need to apologise. This is what we're here for. It is still very early days, hun. I was struggling for months after each of my m/c. My first was similar to yours in that we had been TTC for over 2 years and it was our first ever BFP. Even though I knew from the first b/t that I would probably m/c (low, slow rising numbers), it still hurt so much to eventually lose it. It was about 4 months before I could talk about it without full-on crying, and even then, my eyes would still mist up. And here I am a year after my second m/c and I'm still so angry and upset that DH and I were fighting yesterday too (okay, the PMS played a part too). You are not alone and it is very normal to feel this way so soon after it happens. Don't pressure yourself to "get over it" quickly, because it takes time. You wanted that bub so much and you worked so hard to get it - the grief of its loss won't evaporate overnight.

Mel, hi and welcome! I'm sorry to hear you've had such a difficult time recently. I hope that's the last of your misfortune for a long time. Please let me know when/if you would like to be added to the list. I just need to know where you are in your cycle (eg cycle day, dpo or just "waiting for AF").

Rai, I hope your wait isn't long and you can get started on your next cycle quickly.

Faye, I hope you don't have much longer to wait either. Any idea why it's so late? Hope you have a lovely holiday!

Beau, FX for Wednesday!

AFM, AF is playing silly buggers. I had a light bleed last night (12dpo), but nothing this morning. AF is actually due tomorrow, but turning up last night wasn't outside the realm of possibility (24-36 hours early). I know what I'd be thinking if I read this, but the bleed was red, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't implantation. I really don't know what else could cause that to happen though? Any ideas? I'm just going to wait it out and see what happens today. It might just be a brief respite and AF could get started properly this afternoon/evening. My temp was down again this morning, so I'm not expecting any miracles. I just wish I wasn't dealing with this uncertainty with the anniversary of learning of our mm/c tomorrow (I have always felt the day we found out was the day we lost her, rather than the d&c 4 days later, not that the anniversary of the d&c will be a fun day either). Or maybe this is trying to distract me from it? Ugh, I just want to crawl under a rock for the next 5 days...

CD 1 for me today

truly this ttc should not be so bloody hard. I lost 10kg's but to get to the weight where i fell pg with ds 3 i really need to lose 4 - 5 kg's
and honestly do you think i can find the motivation not on your life which is really making me cranky with myself cause i just want to fall pg
i dont think i could cope with waiting another 3 years to fall besides that i will be too old in 3 years, anyone got some motivation tips for me
i really need them cause chocolate looks really good at the moment

Hi, I just want to clarafy (i think that's how you spell it if not sorry) a few things in my last text.

First of all i know all you lovely ladies are in the same boat and want to spend as less time here as posible and get your bfp asap.
What i ment when i said i dont think i could cope with 3 years of ttc i ment it took 3 years to fall pg with ds 3 and it consumed my life
everything was about falling pregnant it was just so heartbreaking each month, the disapointment, the emotional toll it took was just not good
and i have decided to only give myself to april and then give up and just be happy. And as for getting too old i did not mean it like that i ment every
lady in my family has gone through early menopause usually early 40's it starts

Kbudgie sorry to hear your struggling ATM, I haven't been in that position before but I know if it was me it would take a long time to get over the pain.

Juniper I don't know why it is taking so long to come... For me it doesn't make sense I always have a 28 day cycle but I've gone from 6 months of zoladex then the pill then straight to IVF so Feb was my last "natural" cycle so my body is most likely just out of whack. I will be thinking of you tomorrow

Hi everyone,

I'm dipping my toes I the water here - just want to say hi and good luck to everyone
DH and I are getting ready to start the ivf process for bub no.2, and it's making me nervous. Last time around we were very lucky on our ninth attempt, and now have a gorgeous dd. Hopefully it will be easier this time!

Sorry for the 'me' post - I have a bit of catching up to do!

[juniper76]

Kass, hi and welcome! I hope you have success more quickly this time.

rai, I'll probably hit menopause before 40, so I hear you on the ticking clock!

Afm, AF showed up properly just after midnight. No idea why I'd get a light bleed, then nothing and then another light bleed and then finally AF 27 hours after the first bleed... Haven't had that happen before, so it's very weird for me. And weird always makes me worry about menopause...

Will do! Don't know what DPO stands for but I'm sure I'll work it out between now and when I get there.
