Just dropping in to drop off some baby dust and sticky vibes
I'm not UTD but I am enjoying life. Things with DP are going fantastic. I have taken up drinking though... only socially. I am moving house ASAP and then maybe I will be truely happy
Clairesmummy - have you tested? How many days late are you? The symptoms sound very promising.
damprye - glad to hear that things are looking up for you. Ocasional social driking can be very entertaining...
Craftymummy - I am excited for you for the clomid round, I heard it can do wonders!
ferrals - almost there, glad to hear that things are looking good so far.
Saffy, India's Mum, possum, Alice - hello ladies, I am thinking of you all.
I have a scan booked for tomorrow, finally maybe they will look at me and tell me what is going on. The BT was up again, but only to 680, which is definetly not right for 7th week.
Hi lovely ladies,
Just popped in to say hi. I have just been taking some time for myself and getting sorted after my housemate moved out on the weekend. I am off on my cruise on saturday, starting to get a bit excited. Saw my FS yesterday and he has agreed to do one more stim cycle in Nov but agrees that should be it as it would be a waste to do anymore with Donor daddy's sperm being so poor. I am still thinking of you all and I will be popping in to see how you are all going and be back properly in Nov.
Special hugs to Ferrals for thursdays outcome, hoping and praying for awesome news.
Sunbeam - Hope you have an awesome time on your cruise and everything crossed for Nov!
Ferrals - Still have everything crossed over here for you....Looking forward to hearing the good news in a few days!
AFM - Thanks for the kind words everyone, I've spent the last few days rearranging the entire house to keep my mind off things, also getting ready for the IL's to come stay *shudder* anyone have a spare room for me to hide in for a couple of days lol. I raged at my SIL a little today, she was saying how a friend of her DH is trying for a baby with his wife but with no luck so far and she had said to them that maybe they were just trying too hard and should take a more casual approach like they did..WTF? I told her that would have probably been hurtful and that she should consider herself very lucky to be able to get pregnant so easy considering a lot of very deserving people struggle to conceive. I've packed up all our baby stuff/clothes/gear we still had after moving to NSW, I know 10 or so pregnant women at the moment but I don't think I'm ready to give it all away just yet. Had a mini break down packing jumpsuit away...pathetic!
Anyway hope you're all well and best of luck with your current and up coming cycles, we need some BIG FAT STICKY POSITIVES in here very very soon!
Damprye - So pleased to hear that you are happy again.
Alice - I often found the mundane things like going to the market to be harder to bear than anything else because I am surrounded by all those little things I was going to buy (or not buy) if I were pregnant. I will be interested to hear what your acupuncturist says. Mine recently sent me a letter saying she was going on maternity leave and was so excited and wouldn't be sure when she would be back because she wasn't sure how she would cope as a Mum etc. I thought "hmmmm, nice for you, but perhaps you could have sent your clients with fertility problems a different letter that didn't gush over your baby". I got over that within a day or so though and wish her all the best.
AFM - I am in the process of booking this holiday to Bali. We are organising travel insurance and I double checked that we would be covered if I were pregnant as I told the lady we are TTC. She told me how many clients get pregnant on holidays as they finally relax. So I told her I didn't have any trouble getting pregnant I just lose them all. Why do I always have to be so honest about it? I probably just made her feel bad but that wasn't my intention.
Sunbeam-thanks for the cyber hugs and enjoy your much deserved cruise before your next round of IVF.
Tomanyshoes-I have all my baby stuff packed to and cant bring myself to go through it all yet they even still has all the price tags on them as Abbi never got to where them but i am hoping this weekend i can unpack them all and dream a little.
I hope you will get to unpack your baby things real soon.
Alice-I still go to the shopping centre the furthest away from where i live as i dont want to run into anyone i know with babies and i certainly dont want anyone to see my belly just yet because what if i dont have one i a few weeks time it's awful how us women think but after a loss we just cant seem to help it.
I hope you are feeling yourself real soon and you dont have to put off that frosty for to long,
Clairsmummy-Oooh hoping for a BFP for you.
Damprye-Oh to be enjoying life i cant wait to have that feeling back i am glad you have found some happyness lets hope it rubs off.
AFM-I am sick as a dog with the flu i feel dreadful i have coughed so much my belly feels like ive torn muscles and my chest feels like it is stuffed full of soggy bread. We got a call from the geneticist with a preliminary chromosone results they were all normal and we definately have a little lady on board no mistaking that so now just the cholesterol enzyme result by the end of the week.
I am doing the whole phone call senerio over and over in my head all the possible things they could say like i am sorry but we dont have good news to we have the results and they are all normal why am i tormenting myself.
Ferrals- I have everything crossed for you and your little bub darl that everything is great with her. Sending you both lots of love darl and cyber hugs as well. So far so good darl, we are all here for you and I can just feel it that everything is going to be great for you and your little baby girl.
Luna- I am now 8 days late for AF, did a test before going away on the week end and I got a BFN did another on Sunday night admittantly I'm sure I never had enough P for my stick IYKWIM it took 3minutes for anything to come up but when it did eventually come up with a result it was also a BFN. Very frustrating for me atm.....lol....
AFM- Well I have just used an OPT as a HPT as I'm concerned that I will waste yet another HPT on a BFN. So I did the whole POAS thing about 30minutes ago now could be longer but if what I have been told is true and the OPT can be used as a HPT also well then it's looking like good news for me. I had the +ive line come up with in a minute of POAS on my OPT and the test line just kept getting darker until it got darker than the control line. So please correct me if I am wrong but are OPTs just as reliable as a HPT???? I will being doing a HPT in the morning with FMU just to double check. FX for me......plz plz plz let me have a BFP and a very sticky little bub.
Clairsmummy-I have read that opks can be used as HPT if your AF is due or late but to be honest if the HPT are neg i would disregard the opks as i have had positive opks right up until AF is due as some of them can detect the LH hormone after O and show positive that is why the instructions say once you get your 1st pos on a opk dont test any more but if you are very late it is a good sign my fingers are crossed for you.
Thanks Ferrals- Did the whole POAS with my FR PG test this morning and it was yet again another BFN so going to try and get in to see my DR today and find out what's happening with me. Maybe I'm O'ing really really late this cycle, I'm at CD34 today AF is now 9 days late and my nipples are so tender today it's painful wearing clothing, so I have no idea what's going on this cycle. Sorry to get anybodies hopes up for an upcoming BFP to break our drought in here........
ferrals - that's great news about the preliminary results, I'm going cross eyed keeping everything crossed over here lol, hoping the cholesterol enzyme result is normal as well. You'll be able to have a tag rippin off party once you know she's coming home to stay! hehehe.
Clairsmummy - Hoping you get your BFP this morning.
India's - Have a fantastic holiday...I would love one right about now!
AFM - still keeping busy, don't think my bathroom has ever been so clean, to the point of cleaning every line of grout with a little nail brush. Although I had another meltdown while working out what to wear to DH work Christmas party. Last Christmas I was going to where a blue dress I owed and decided no I'll keep it for this year because I was convinced I would be pregnant by now and it would have made a lovely belly dress....idiot!
Clairesmummy I'm hoping your post was last night 'cause I'm dying to hear how you went now! We could really do with some cheering up in here! Good luck and I hope you've got a BFP waiting for you this morning!
Ferrals, sorry you've got a miserable flu. Not surprising really with all the stress and strain you've been through. So far so good, all we need now is that last piece of happy news to set you on your way to a happy pregnancy that you can start enjoying and celebrating! Positive thoughts, positive thoughts xxx
Sunbeam, have a wonderful trip away, I hope you get lots of sun on your head and enjoy relaxing to the sound of water lapping around you...ah, how blissful! Hope you feel re-energised when you get back and ready for your next stim cycle. xx
Luna, that doesn't sound right, you poor thing I can't believe this has gone on for seven weeks no wonder you are at your wits end with it. What's the latest?
Saffy, hum dee doo ... just waiting for your injections to start so I can get excited with you! I hope this cycle goes smoothly for you
India's Mum, don't be harsh with yourself about what you said, that is your experience and we are all mightily sick to death of being told to relax and if anything is going to make me spit, it's hearing those words. I would have responded in exactly the same way and maybe next time she'll think a bit more about it before saying something stupid and insensitive. Sorry, just makes me cross! Anyway, holiday. Yes, Bali is a great idea. My DH and I went a few years ago and it was just the most relaxing holiday...beautiful food, lovely locals, warm weather. I hope you have a wonderful time xx
Damprye, great to hear things have picked up for you. Moving house is always good once you are there - fresh start and all that though packing to move is always stressful so I hope you can get things sorted quickly. Social drinking sounds like fun - I've been off alcohol for months, feel like a nun. Haven't even had one drink since our BFN but just haven't felt like it. Happy days to you!
Hello Crafty, MatthewsMum, Mildez, Porsche, Toomanyshoes, and anyone else I've missed or who is lurking x
Well I saw my TCM doc yesterday and she was really gutted for us. Said she felt quite hopeful when she saw me during the TWW so was very sorry it hadn't worked for us. She wants me to wait a few months to see if I can get my cycle to 12 days at 36.7 in the leutal phase so that's my goal now. Ah, seems like hard work, I have to say but I guess I have to keep going. I think I will relax the diet a bit though (80/20 rule) 'cause you have to live and sometimes it can be very restrictive. Especially with our birthdays coming up it's going to be hard. Can't believe I'm going to be 42 and still TTC. Sigh. Oh well, I guess I still have a few more years in me. Had a lovely PM from one of the ladies in the other thread who knows someone who has been successful with fostering and a similar background to me. That made me feel very optimistic that we'll have our family one day soon, one way or another. So I'll be here charting away and following you all along and hoping we can get some BFPs in here soon 'cause we need them. Onwards and upwards everyone!! xx
