ferrals-sorry they couldn't tell anything from the cvs,hope the scan goes well..
Sunbeam I am glad you are feeling abit better after the initial disappointment. FX these embies are fantastic and grow beautifully and you have lots of them to transfer.
I just wanted to pop in and let you know Crafty I was fileing at work last night and found a scan report for a lady born in 1963 having a baby. Hope it gives you hope that it happens naturally. It was very unplanned from what I gather.
Egg update.
All 6 are still growing 3 looking really good and 3 so so. The 3 good ones are all nice 4 cells now and of the 3 not so good one is 6 cells which is apparently a bit fast (not sure why that's bad) and 2 are somewhat fragmented.
Come on my embies grow strong.
sunbeam-fingers crossed for your little embies,thanks for the update...
Hi Girls
Sunbeam - sorry to hear you are disappointed and worried withe the number of eggs. Personally I still think it sounds as though it's all going really well.
Saffy - did you end up with that cold or did a night on the couch make it better?
AFM - I am now day 24. We are still BD'ing every second day as I got pregnant around day 23 last time so don't want to miss an opportunity. Last night my uterus just ached for hours on end. It wasn't really like AF cramps, just a dull ongoing ache. Don't quite know what to make of that.
Sunbeam- 3 strong embies is great! I got none! Hope they continue being super embies for you xx
Matthewsmum- nice to hear from you, good luck with your tww!
SammyP- wow you are good to dtd every 2 days for a month- hope it works and that the ache is a little baby getting cosy! I didn't get a full on cold- just have a bad chest but spent the day in the garden in the sun so that always makes you feel better doesn't it, just woken up from my nanna nap and am a bit sunburnt- whoops.
oops, not for a month Saffy, just from day 14 to day 24. We've been out in the sun too. I opened up DD's cubbie house and it was so full of earwigs that DH hosed it out and then I killed a redback spider in the corner.
Evening ladies!
Sunbeam - sorry to hear that you didnt get the result you were expecting but great that there is 6! Praying that they stay strong! My g/f only had 5 out 21 fertilise and survive, she got preg that cycle with twins! She is now 20wks! xx
Saffy- hope that cold hasnt hit you to much and you had a well deserved, peaceful evening last night at home xx
ferrals - were all counting down with you! stay strong
matthewsmum - yay for the 2ww! how are you going with everything emotionally? hope the break helps to clear your mind and your soul xx
mildez - how are you and bubs going lovey??
alice - so happy to hear all those follies are on track!!! Good growing girl! Good you and DH can have a giggle after a silly fight! Same with me and my DH, half the time we forget what we were even cranky about! :D
toomanyshoes - welcome to this thread, im sorry to here of your difficult situation and the loss of your angels... i agree with Saffy in perhaps going to the specialist alone and taking it from there!! Good luck with your journey, we are all here to help xx
crafty - hows your 2ww going?? Mine is draaaaaaaging!!
AFM - all good here, chugging thru this 2ww... nothing much happening except very huge sore boobs but im guessing that from the pessaries more than anything! oh and no voice from screaming at the grand final yesterday! it was exhausting!! And we have to do it all again next week!! Aaggghh! Heart attack waiting to happen!
And my holidays have finished, back to work tomorrow! Boo! :doh: thank god my cold is getting better!
Sunbeam, that's terrific news - grow blasties grow!! I wonder why that 6 cell one isn't good? I would have thought that'd be the strong one...hmm. Hoping they keep growing well to day 5 and you get your 2 to transfer and 2 to freeze. I'm in two minds about transferring two (if we get that option). Did you talk to your FS about it? Curious to know what she said if you did. Good luck hon x
SammyP, good luck with this cycle - hope you caught that egg.
MatthewsMum, glad the Osteopath is helping - I saw one last year and she was great. Am hoping to get in to see her this week as my back is a bit out. I still do the exercises she gave me a couple of times a week and always feel so much better afterwards. I hope these next few months of TTC naturally go well for you and bring you a lovely BFP to celebrate.
Saffy, any sign of AF? I got out in the garden too today but am soo tired don't think I was much help. Got to hang with the chooks though and that's always fun. Put some aloe vera on your burn you bad girl! It's been so long since my skin has seen the sun I glow in the dark. So embarrassing!
T-hopes, hope you enjoyed the finals! How're you feeling? Can't wait until you can test and put us out of our suspense!
Hi Mildez, nice to hear from you. Hope all is well with you and bubs.
Ferrals, did you get in to have that scan in Newcastle? If I could wish away the days for you I would...must be driving you crazy. I think we'll be getting our results at the same time.
Intheslowlane- hope that holiday does just the trick
Crafty, how's the craft room going? That's a good TWW project if ever there was one!
Hi Porsche, Damprye, Toomanyshoes and anyone else I've missed. Hope you are all well.
AFM, well back down for another scan tomorrow. Hope my weekend of sleeping has given those follies time to grow. Hope things are progressing OK, always worried that something will happen to set us back. Fingers crossed x
sammyp-hopefully your pain was for a good reason...saffy-thanks,hope the sunburn's not too sore...t-hopes-thanks,i hope trying something new will help...alice-be watching for your update tomorrow...afm-osteopath gave me some visualisation exercises to do,that's my homework for the week,i'm trying to put 100% into her techniques but it is quite different for me.i started crying in the middle of the session,she had me doing a visualisation exercise were i imagined matthew in a bubble floating up to the heavens.she feels i haven't let go of my grief enough to allow another pregnancy to happen but i don't understand that because ladies get pregnant after loss while still grieving the bub sometimes bubs they lost.
MatthewsMum, grief is so different for everyone. I don't think many people in my life understand the grief I went through - continue to go through - with the loss of our baby in January. For me it was the culmination of many losses experienced over a long period of time, and that made it particularly difficult. So I guess what I'm saying is that your loss of Matthew is a very particular to you and how it affects you will be different to how it affects others. I hope the visualizations you are doing help, I find them very comforting. You'll let go of Matthew when you are ready, in your own time and in your own way, and he will always be with you and be part of your life and your family. Sometimes it's good to have others acknowledge the loss we are still experiencing because it helps us continue to understand our grief, if that makes sense. :hug: to you xx
Alice that was nice what you said to matthewsmum.
Well...I POAS this am and got a very very faint second line.....now I'm freaking out a bit cos I don't have any real symptoms, so is this a chemical pregnancy? Its been a week and a half since the spotting, the hormones should be strong by now....I'm going to ring the clinic when they open and get a BT, not expecting anything good to come of this so please don't get excited for me cos I'm sure this isn't a sticky one-SH*T
Alice I hope your scan shows a record and some beautifully grown follies. Lovely advise also you give.
Saffy I can understand your concern. Hope your HCG is much much higher then you think it is.
Sunbeam I think the embie thats is growing to quickly can be a sign of chromosomal problems is they are too quick growing. I have heard that somewhere before. Someone correct me if I am wrong. FX they are all growing beautifully and continue to do so and you have some lovely embies to freeze and a successful t/f which gives you your sticky BFP.
Thanks for asking about me. I think everything thing is going ok. We have had a nasty Bug going around DD was even in hospital for 3days and now DH has it and I am worried I'll get it. I hope to God I don't.
alice-thank you so much for your beautiful words....saffy-hope you don't have to wait to long for the bt results...mildez-sending no bug vibes to you
oh saffy - praying with all my heart that you have some wonderful results today... my fingers are so tightly crossed for you... when are you having BT? xx
Hi Ladies,
Saffy - Sorry but I am already excited :dance:! Don't be concerned about the numbers plenty of sucsessful BFP's start with low hcg that's one thing I noticed on the IVF sucsess site. :pray::pray::pray:
T-Hopes- Thank you for that it is exactly what i needed to hear. :D I have been checking out the fertility community list of IVF sucsesses and my numbers do not seem unusal. Also the vast majority of ladies had sucsess on their first go so that has given me more hope. I so hope the sore boobs is a great sign. Sucks you have to go back to work but at least you have another grand final to look forward to. :lol:
Alice - How's those follies coming along? I have not spoekn to FS about transfer numbers yet I just know that at my clinic at 39 they'd be looking to put 2 back if possible. I hope you have great follies and not as many as me because to be honest the OHSS is really starting to hurt, bloating, painful kidneys and just generally feeling yuck. I've only got to go in for one client today thankfully.
Mathwe'smum - My psychic said the same thing to me that I had to really let go of my angels inorder to make room for a new baby. It was very hard but I did a little ceremony and asked them to go and be with the other people I've lost so that they can take care of them for me. It still makes me sad but I feel I don't dwell on them so much now.
Mildez - Sorry to hear your DD was in hospital and that DH is now sick too. I hope you manage to stay germ free.
Sunbeam - Glad I was able to help a little - she was soooo devastated by her result, she was sobbing.. she has had 3 miscarriages in the past and was just shattered....she had totally written off that cycle and 12 days later... i light BFP that kept getting darker day by day... her BT was on the higher side of normal but didnt suggest twins... then on her 2nd u/s at 8 wks... a little
2nd shadow!! She is doing so well now!!! xx
THopes- I went straight in after I spoke to them so will get result this afternoon. I will be at work so I told the nurse to leave a message if I don't answer, I sometimes can't take calls if I am busy.
Thanks for your prayers everyone- am beginning to think I hallucinated the faint faint line so have pulled it out of the bin about 10 times just to recheck- not that I'm going nuts or anything
ooohh Saffy - im so nervous for you!!! I will be checking every 10mins for your results!!! xx
Alice-on the 6th i have my scan at newcastle and then on the 18th i have another at the fetal medicine unit hopefully they see absolutely nothing abnormal.
Saffy-ooooh so exciting!
Sunbeam-3 is good fingers crossed.
Mildez-so far i have been lucky all the kids and DH have been sick with colds and tonsilitis and i have missed it all even at work it is going around and i have managed to escape it all i think i had my fair share last year.
I hope you have a nice strong immunity and it skips you.
Mathewsmum-hope the break and ttc naturally does you the world of good.
Hi everyone,
Oh Saffy!! I know you said don't get excited but I am letting myself get a little bit. My SIL and my bestie both had very low HCG to begin with - in fact, the IVF clinic my SIL went to told her she wasn't pg! My niece is now 1 1/2! Oh I'm sooo hoping things go this way for you - I know you said you haven't had any signs but crossing all my fingers and toes anyway.
Mildez, sorry your little one has been in hospital -I hope she is OK now and I REALLY hope you don't get it. Bit hard to avoid but like Ferrals said hopefully your immune system is nice and strong. Fingers crossed.
Sunbeam, any news on your blasties??? When is your TF? Lovely words to MatthewsMum from you too about saying goodbye to your angels. I hope you'll get your earth baby soon (as Kit used to say). x
Ferrals, god I'm hoping that scan is clear for you - so that's next week isn't it? I think I'll be getting my results back around the 18th - I hope it's all good news for us and I really hope more than anything that it's good news for you and your DH.
Hi to everyone else x
AFM well had my last scan today and my little follies are now all between 19-16 which I'm pleased with. Didn't get blood levels 'cause DH forgot to ask! They said it was all really good so we'll see. So tonight I'll have the trigger injection at 10.30. Bit excited but trying to keep a lid on it as I know that tomorrow it could all go the other way so just feeling pleased for today. I'm hoping we get 3 good eggs then the next hurdle is the fertilisation. Getting close now - hope we get to the next stage of growing blasties. Fingers crossed.
ooh Alice! thats great news!! Im sooo excited for you!!! So does that mean EPU tomorrow??! happy triggering!!! xx
Ladies - there is a show on SBS2 tonight at 8.30pm called The Great Sperm Race!! I have heard good things about it so might be worth a peek!!!
Saffy - any news?? you must stiil be at work?! thinking of you :)
Where is Saffy? What's the go we need to know! The suspense is killing me!
Alice - Whoo trigger tonight. I think that meanns you will be doing EPU at exactly the same time as my transfer (10.30am Wednesday):dance: lets hope its a lucky time for both of us. Update is that the good 3 are still going well. I will hear tomorrow if FS agrees to 2 going back in.
Saffy, you're killing us here. All the best love.
Thanks for the show T-hopes. I'll have a look.
Exciting news Alice.
Hi to all. Only 3 days til holidays :)
:wall: Oh no! I've gotten so behind again. Sorry ladies, been out of touch for a few days. We are all sick at the moment (coughs, colds, conjunctivitis, yuk!) and it's been busy.
From memory:
Alice: GL for your trigger tonight. Another hurdle that you will be over. You are a champion and so brave!
Saffy: waiting for your news. Can't help but be excited by the possibilities!
T-hopes: i wish i could fast forward the TWW for you! I started to get excited when i heard sore boobs (I was on progesterone pessaries for a few days of my last pg but don't remember that as a particularly strong symptom... couldn't you just be pg?!!)
Sunbeam: Sending your little embies good growing vibes!
Mathewsmum: I hope you find the osteo sessions useful. If the visualisations are helpful that's great but I hope you don't feel somehow that you have not 'let go' enough to allow another pg. You have done everything you can to welcome another baby. There is no reason why you cannot grieve Mathew- in whatever form that takes- while you look to welcome another baby at the same time.
SammyP: hope that 'achey uterus' is something good. I wanted to tell you a quick story of hope: a friend of mine (39 years old) has had 3 mc's trying for her second child. She has just passed the 12wk mark with her fourth pg and at the scan there was a hb and everything looked good. No reason has been found for her earlier losses. Her doctor thinks it was just age and chance and she just needed to keep trying. She did and so far so good this time.
intheslowlane: Hope your holiday helps you to recharge and feel better.
Mildez: hope the germ skips you!
Sorry if i've missed anyone or mucked up the persies!
AFM: Currently CD3. Yes ladies, we have a normal cycle! Woo hoo! Never been so happy to get AF in my life. After a very short cycle after my 10wk long mc, i've had a normal-for-me 28 day cycle. Very pleased. The plan is to start TTC this month... if everything looks normal on an U/S, which I have cleverly managed to book next Tues just before I 'O'!
Saffy- I still pop in occasionally, I try not to to often as it makes me want to ttc lol. ATM I am just waiting and watching for everyones BFP announcements :) I hope your BT comes back with a good result :)
Possum- Woohoo on the normal cycle :D
AFM- Pretty sure I Od Sat or Sun and sadly but for the best we used protection.
Sorry girls- BFN, just got in from work sorry about the suspense for nothing!
I'm not even disappointed as I knew it wasn't right.
I AM excited by the fact he nurse said I can start the pill for my next cycle when AF comes instead of waiting for another month- so come on AF you biatch come and get me!
saffy-sorry it was a bfn,good to read the positivity in your post though about next month, thanks for letting us know ,i can go to bed now.hope your dh is there to give you a hug. catch everyone in the morning
Hi ladies
Saffy so sorry it was a BFN I really thought you were going to start us off on a run of BFPs, never mind at least you can start on your next cycle as soon as AF appears hope shes not too far away, What a let down after the excitement you must have felt so sorry love best of luck next cycle !
Msatthews mum Hi so glad your still around and good luck with your new osteo and the forward thinking I am sure you will be able to move forward real soon and I think its already been said in this thread by Alice and a few others that greif is a very strange thing affects us all so differently I for one have really struggled this time around !
Mildez thanks for that I have hope still I was born in 1965 so a few years younger than the women you told us about !
T-hopes my TWW is slowly going by but had a major migrain today so I do think maybe I am out !!!
Alice good luck with your trigger not long now ! well done growing your follies
Sunbeam, 6 is a good number better than none at all, and hopefully you get 3 really good ones as ferrals said only takes 1 of them !!! she should know !
Ferrals my friend thinking of you every day and praying you will get a good scan result real soon !
Dampfye, possum and everyone else I forgot to mention hope your feeling ok and moving along we nearly out of sept now so October here we come lets have lots of BFPs !!! ( Please can I have one too )
AFM well not sure how I feel really, woke with a splitting headache today and blured vision been like it all day so I have been a right grump !!! also had nausea when eating and an acheing tummy so not really sure whats up with me, my boobs get shooting pains every now and then but hey we all know that means nothing !!! so just plodding along and praying its a good result but know in the back of my mind its probs a BFN again !!! But wouldn't it be lovely to be sooooo wrong !!!
Hi Girls,
Just popping in to say hello to everybody.
Alice - things are starting to roll now!
Sunbeam - bummer you did not get more embies, but all you need is one good one. So three is plenty. You'd bettter be ready for twins if they put two in, it can happen!
Crafty - I hope you are wrong. The pain-in-the-boobs was always a definite symptom for me, so sounds good.
possum magic - I so can relate to being happy when AF appears. It took my body 3 months to stabilize after the last loss, the first normal cycle is such a relief.
Damprye - are you taking a break from TTC on doctor's order?
Saffy - sorry about your BFN.
AFM - AF is due today or tomorrow if I am really unlucky and she decides to play head games with me. I tested on Sat and got a BFN, as expected. I have no symptoms whatsover, my boobs are LESS sore than before the AF normally. I only tested because I was planning the night of debauchery and wanted peace of mind when I am having this third glass of wine. Or fourth, he he.
Take care girls, and somebody better starts this BFP trend here soon. I think the pressure is on Thopes...
Saffy- Sorry to hear that.
Luna- No, not on doctors orders. I guess you could say that I am having mental and relationship issues atm. Hard to explain.
Everyone else- Thank you for thinking about me and I am thinking of all of you as well :)
Saffy, sorry for your BFN :( :( I hope AF comes quick smart then we can get excited together with your new cycle which I'm sure will be a good one! Sometimes the first cycle doesn't go that well because they are not sure how you are going to respond to a particular dose etc so now that they know they will probably increase it and all should go well. Hope you can have a bit of indulgence time while AF is visiting and remember that holiday you said you need? Have you made any plans yet?? Even a weekend away could help or just a few days if you both have time during the week. Take care lovely woman, it's your turn soon, promise x
Luna, I hope you enjoyed a night of debauchery - I always take AF's arrival as permission to go over to the dark side (where is that bucket of chocolate my DH has been hiding? Wine glass? Nah, I'll use a straw!)(just kidding)(sort of) :) Hope AF doesn't keep you waiting though can we be a little bit hopeful for you in the meantime? I think so.
Yes, and I agree, T-hopes your sore boobs are our mascot LOL - bring on that BFP!!
Oh Crafty, that sucks having a nasty headache with blurry vision, no wonder you were grumpy! I wish every month for your success so going to keep hoping til we hear otherwise. Hope you're feeling a lot better today x
Damprye, hope this time away is helping. It's OK to visit, I would be the same! Take care
Possum, Woohoo for a normal cycle!! And very clever of you to get your us right before O time - now you'll know exactly when and where that egg is coming from and I hope you catch it! So good to hear you feeling better, rest up and get ready for some bding action!
Intheslowlane, only two sleeps to go! Hope you have great weather and a super relaxing time. Just thinking about it makes me want to go on a holiday too!
Sunbeam!! We are!! My EPU is 10.30am Wednesday. How about that! Good to hear that three are still going strong. Very exciting!! We'll be in the TWW together - come on BFPs!:pray:
SammyP, sorry for missing you last night, achey uterus sounds very interesting...fingers crossed for you!
Ferrals, one less day to go now. Hang in there x
MatthewsMum, Mildez, Porsche, HappyBaby (how are you going??) and anyone else I've missed :hug: to you all.
AFM Is it just us or do those ampules they give you for the trigger stress everyone else out too? We usually get a pack of 3 so if you break the glass you have a backup. Not this time, just one, and both of us are completely unco about breaking the top off. DH started with the powder and crushed the top into tiny shards of glass. While he was going to get a cloth to put over the liquid one I managed to pop it off without breaking it. We were both so relieved when it was all done! And tired!! Just resting up today before trekking down again tomorrow for the EPU. At least it is at a reasonable time so hopefully we won't get too much ****ty traffic on the way. Or maybe we'll get the train - much more relaxing. Yes, I think we'll do that. I'm pretty pleased with my girls for growing me a little batch of eggs. I even got two follies on the ovary that we thought had given up the ghost! Yah team!! Keep growing girls - I need as many of you as I can get!
Morning!!
intheslowlane - oooh yay for holidays! nothing better than not having to set an alarm!! I just had a week off, didnt do much but it was bliss! :)
alice - good luck for tomorrow!! Im sooo excited for you! Keep growing little follies!! :dance:
saffy - oh love, im sorry to the bfn, good that you had prepared yourself for it though and you were ok about it! Great news that you can start the pill! Glad ther is a silver lining for you ! xx
possum! hello gorgeous! Good job on the 'normal' AF!! :clap: Whoo hoo!! CD 4 for you today, its all happening!! Good luck for your u/s!!
sunbeam - how are those gorgeous little embies going today?
Luna - Yep, im feeling the pressure, getting the hot sweats! lol! GULP!
crafty - your not out yet... keep pushing on!!!
matthewsmum - good luck with your osteo... i know what you mean about not being able to let go... i havent myself, i just cant, though i know i need to xx
AFM - well im 8DPIUI and have woken up with period pain :( and boobs are just as sore and massive! Its gotta be these pessaries! They are messing with my head! How can i have period pain already!? Did anyone else have many side affects with the pessaries?? I wish i could just sleep thru the next week!
Did anyone watch The Great Sperm Race last night? It was soo fascinating! Poor little sperm do it tuff! No wonder they cant find my egg! The vagina is like a battlefield! And the cervix!! Oh dont get me started on how mean the cervix is to the sperm!! It traps thems down these little grooves like the deadend of a maze!!! :shakehead:
Morning all
T-hopes good job your DHs spermies had a helping hand this month then and got shown the way !!! Period type pains could be implantation feels like that sometimes when you first get pregnant so FX all is good and you get a BFP later on this week when are you testing ?
Alice I still have a fuzzy head but not as bad but I do have a runny tummy now so I guess thats what the problem was some kind of bug I think, Good luck with your egg pick tomorow after your excitement with your trigger phew what a releif for poor DH ! Thanks for beleiveing in me I hope I can get my BFP as your dream said I would ! and you get yours too then we can move over to the pg thread with T-hopes and sunbeam and all the other ladies in this TWW !!!! guess we just a bit in front of you but not that much !!!
Luna yay for enjoying your wine ! onwards and upwards for next month hope AF arrives soon for you ! sorry its a BFN it sucks when you see just one line but I am getting used to it now !!!
Damprye hope you can get some peace soon with your troubled mind I know how hard it is I have had my share of doubt and confussion the last year but in the end manage to sort myself out just give yourself some time !!!
Sunbeam any news on those embies yet when is transfer ?
Everyone I have missed hope your ok and have the strength to carry on along this long hard road, know you are not alone we are all here with you !!!
I agree with crafty T-Hopes. When is AF due? You get AF type pains when UTD. Remember me asking about mine? Although mine were different because they make you start yout TWW when you've had ET. So technically I started having AF pains when AF was "technically" due.
oo T-hopes, that sounds soo good! No, really! Cramping can be from the pessaries (and yes, it does mess with your head I can vouch for that!) but also wouldn't 8 days be just about the right time for implantation? Anyway, I had super strong AF cramps before I got my BFP but they started about three days before the test and got stronger and stronger to the point where I nearly didn't get the bt done. But if you don't have any bleeding that's a good sign. I can't believe we have to wait another week! We're here for you - go as nutty as you need to! xx
Thanks Crafty, I'm not going anywhere without you so we'd better get this thing happening soon, OK? Sorry for that bug, sounds nasty. Rest up as much as you can with little ones to look after
AFM feel like I'm going to burst! Can hardly sit down properly!! And sooo tired - it's hard work laying all these eggs, poor Sunbeam, how did you manage with 20!! Your ovaries must be the size of grapefruit! Hope you are drinking lots of water and resting and getting ready for tomorrow. Fingers crossed. Off to sleep now...zzzzz
I've got everything crossed for you Alice. Is this the most uncomfortable you have been from a stim cycle?
crafty, porsche, alice - AF is due on Monday... Im not sure when im going to test! Id normally already have started lol! I think we will test Sunday so then i can just chill at home and cry my heart out b4 work on Monday if its a BFN! Im sure it will be!
I guess it would be around implantation time but who knows??! Its probably these damn pessaries and my stupid mind jerkin me around!!!! Owww i need mexican food!!!
Im already planning my next cycle! DH wants to do another IUI but i keep telling him its a BFW - Big Fat Waste!!!!!!!! Bring on IVF i say!!! Just gotta find the $6,500 for it!!!
Alice - rest up lovely!! big day tomorrow!! Cant wait to hear your results!!! :)
Mildez - hello!! hows bubby going? when is your scan? xx
Possum - It's good to see you back again. Thank goodness your cycle is back to normal. I know how like limbo it is to not know where the hell you are or what is going on because you don't feel you can proceed forward. Thanks for the story about your friend. It all sounds so very familiar. I go back to the FS on Thursday to find out if anything was causing the miscarriages but I don't feel they will find anything.
Saffy - Hurry up AF so we can get things moving.
Luna - I do remember you. I don't come across too many people with such similar circumstances so your story stuck in my mind. Funny about the wine, I think most of my positive BFP's have revealed themselves because I tested before I went to a function when I wanted to drink. With DD I tested on Christmas Day and got a faint line so at the family function I kept handing the champagne to my husband to drink for me. That was personally amusing as DH doesn't drink at all.
T-Hopes - I think this is sounding very promising. Fingers crossed for you sweetie.
Alice - I felt a twinge of pain when I read about your ovaries and how big they must be. Must be a bit like how guys cringe when they see another male hit in the balls.
AFM - I seem to be going to the loo a bit more and have a few odd twinges, though not quite an aching uterus. When I felt a bit sick this morning I got over excited and tested which of course showed a BFN. When I checked it's only Day 26 so that was a bit premature of me. I think I'm going to be hugely disappointed this month. Even though I lose babies before 12 weeks I get pregnant quickly so I am not really used to getting BFN's. Odd, isn't it?
Next to my computer is a pile of catalogues I need to throw out. For some reason I am struggling to get rid of the BabiesRus one that came in the mail last week. Before I went online I actually circled things I wanted for a baby that doesn't even exist. Money was quite tight when DD was born so I didn't get the chance to have all the nice things I wanted for her. Now we could afford to have a few luxuries but I am concerned I will never get the chance to do that. I didn't feel too down until I tested. I really shouldn't have but it's hard to resist when you have extra tests in the cupboard.
Hey I'm back, did an extra shift at work and find I have missed pages of posts- help! will try and catch up quickly.
Thanks for all your good thoughts guys, I am ok with my bfn but next time its a bfp or nothing!
SammyP- I have never bought any baby things, I know some people do, I don't feel comfortable with it. I hope you don't have to wait long until your next BFP! How long is your cycle normally?
THopes- I agree with the others!!!! Crack open that packet of HPTs or you will never get to use them all! I am SOOOO hopeful for you, the cramps are a great sign going by other people's experience. You might have to spend the $6500 on something else lol
ALice- I cannot believe how close you are! So exciting!!! I can definately relate to the smashed ampoules, have done it a few times at work, once when I was in a really stressful situation, the entire ampoule smashed to smithereens in my superhuman grip! It hurts cos the little bits of glass get in your fingers. Poor DH, sounds like you did a good job. Hope everything goes perfectly today and you get heaps of beautiful eggs xx
Crafty- hope you a feeling better soon!
Luna- I'm with you, now I've got a BFN i am heading staright to the wine bottle, I don't have to work tomorrow so will be indulging tonight, it has been a LONG time for me, I will be on the floor after one glass lol.
Possummagic- you have been through a lot, glad your body is cooperating and giving you a nice normal cycle!
