LOL Possum - time for a knicker chuck! How much longer until you test???? It was quite gripping (the book) but also I just wanted to finish it to get it out of the way as the next few weeks are going to be crazy busy. I do have a funny (not so funny at the time) story about trying to finish a bookclub book in time. I was heading home in really bad traffic - completely stopped and just inching forward every five mins or so, so I decided I'd use the time well and keep reading (honestly, traffic was stopped). I kept looking up to check and inching forward a bit with the other cars then the car in front of the car in front of me surged forward and I thought **** and put my foot down but the car in front of me didn't move... yep, pranged into it. Lucky for me it was a ute with a very cheerful bloke in it who just looked at my poor car and said don't worry about insurance etc (there wasn't even a scratch on his ute). My car was completely squashed - it took 6 weeks to fix because up here that's how long things take (agg). Moral to the story: don't read and drive!!
Toomanyshoes, my friend had the opposite with pg and headaches - she gets terrible migraines and the only time they go away is when she is pg! Bloody hormones.
Crafty, hope you're feeling a bit better today.
Saffy, are you being good and resting up??
Sunbeam, how's your back? Have you been to see the FS yet?
MatthewsMum, any news with you? Are you going to try your FET before the end of the year or wait til you are feeling better?
Mildez, Porsche, Ferrals, T-hopes, Luna, Damprye and anyone I've accidentally missed love to you all xx
AFM just lurking and keeping an eye on all of you lovelies.x
morning girls-
Alice- you were up early this morning! I have been guilty of driving and reading when caught in traffic, I call it multi tasking. But saying that where I live now doesn't really have traffic jams so I'm very safe! Yes, I am resting up, I don't go back to work until Thursday so just getting some chores out of the way, going to Ikea today- yay!
Possummagic-you are a classic! maybe santa can bring you some new undies for christmas! When's AF due??
toomanyshoes-maybe you should try getting a massage for your headaches?? I was getting them a lot when I was on syneral nose spray, they are shocking, makes it hard to concentrate, hope it IS because you are UTD! x
craftymummy-sorry about the BFP, has AF come yet?? I'll have to agree with Alice, I don't think you should keep taking the clomid unsupervised sorry babe!! xx
Thopes- so good to see you darling, hope your and your little one are cruising along xxx
Hi everyone else
AFM-trying to stay cool but going quietly mad- I *think* I had cramping yesterday but now I don't know whether I just wanted it so bad I imagined it. Oh well just have to wait and see
Hi ladies,
Just wanted to pop in in say i am still stalking and keeping an eye on you all and praying for BFP'S for all of you.
I miss talking to you all but know how hard this journey is so will just quietly stalk.
AFM-Just a quick update 20 weeks tomorrow our girl is perfect in every way i was told i have a grade 4 placenta previa it covers the entire cervix so will proberbly be put on bed rest from 28 weeks and have a c section at 37 weeks if it doesnt move not real happy about that i dont like the thought of no sex and bed rest and then bleeding or hemoraging the placenta is in the worst place possible so i am willing it to move but if our girl needs to come out the sunroof then so be it as long as she is healthy.
Miss you all take care
Alice: lol I can sympathise with the reading and driving story. In my version i leaned over to get something from the floor of the passenger side and didn't realise that in doing that i lifted my foot off the brake a bit. The car rolled and the first i was aware of it i felt a gentle bump as i hit the car in front of me. Fortunately not hard and no damage done but the guy whose car it was- also a ute! Horrid gold colour no less!- looked at me like "are you for real?" He was totally unimpressed. I'm definitely a driving multi tasker (breakfast in the car etc). Poor you that you got caught out!
Toomanyshoes: how frustrating! Must drive you nuts that the headaches make you think you are pg. It's great to take a 'wait and see' approach but hard to do. I wish i could do that- try not to think about getting pg and then surprise myself one day when i realise i'm weeks overdue for AF- but i can't. I have to be on medication from the time i know i'm pg so unfortunately i need to test for pg if AF is overdue.
Saffy: I'm sending you big empathy vibes for the horrors of the TWW. The only good thing about it is that no matter how it seems to drag it does eventually end. But if you have any good tips about how to make time go faster i'd be happy to hear them. Hope you get some nice stuff at Ikea. I always find i discover things to buy i didn't realise i needed!
Ferrals: that's very disappointing for you that you have something else to worry about when it seemed like you might enjoy smooth sailing after your great amnio results. But i'm very pleased for you that the news on baby's health is good.
AFM: reading everyone's posts always makes me feel better- feeling like there are others out there going through something similar- but I'm not having a good day today. I started getting AF type cramping even though it's 10 days before AF is due. But that's not unusual for me since i came off the pill. It's so disheartening: I can't even have the fun of hoping i might be pg because i'm already 99% sure it hasn't worked this month. But i still have to sit around for 10 days waiting to have it confirmed (with AF) then wait another 12 days to 'o' again. It totally sux.
But at the same time i torture myself with: 'but what if i'm wrong? What if it's pg cramping?' when i know it isn't. Pg cramping for me has always been on either side of my tummy. AF type cramping for me is usually across the lower part of my tummy. Has anyone else had AF type cramping across their tummy when pg? (I'm clutching at straws here!)
Alice - Oh sweetie the life lessons we learn from you. Last week: Don't try to pet wild rats! This week: Don't drive and read! You are indeed a wise one Glad you weren't hurt in learning this lesson though.
Possum - Yes most definitely pg cramps feel just like AF cramps for me everythime. Really hope that's what they are Yes time for new undies. I've done worse and thought it was blood and it was the pattern on the loo paper!
Crafty - I'm so sorry it was another BFN it's so damn unfair. I would keep going on the clomid it can't hurt.
Ferrals - The stories you will have to tell this little one when she's older. The first time she's in the least bit ungrateful you'll be able to say... do you know what I had to go through for you!!! The no sex bit is going to be tough for you I know how much you love your pg sex that sux.
Saffy - TWW hugs babe its just an impossible time anyway but worse after IVF by far.
Toomanyshoes - Headaches can be caused by something being out in your neck or back. A lady I work with had them everyday for years and has just started with a chiropractor and hey presto, they are gone. Might be worth a try.
Hi to anyone I missed.
AFM - AF just started so IVF 2 here we come. I've been having acupuncture but other than that I am doing whatever and just getting on with my life and not focussing on baby stuff. I'm going camping this weekend (well from tomorow actually) with my bestie and her girlfriend up to Agnes Waters (so beautiful, google it it's stunning). I am waiting to hear from the clinic if FS will fit me in for a base line scan tomorrow if not I'll just start jabbing and he'll have to wait till monday.
Back update: I am drug free today for the first time and managing well. I did lots of work on it last night with a tennis ball and I think my back is actually better but the muscles are all still in tesnsion from being in pain so long and I just need to work on loosening them up again.
hi everyone, sunbeam-good news about your back,safe travels & good luck with scan & jabbing.Exciting...t-hopes-nice to see you pop in...ferrals-thanks for your update on you & bub...craftymummy-sorry it was a bfn...saffy-hoping for implantation cramping...possummagic-hoping for implantation cramping for you too...alice-at the moment were going to try fet in Dec.When i think about waiting till i feel better ,i think who knows when that will be ,if ever...
Possum- I'm in the same boat as you - I could write an essay on my analysis of the twinges/ cramps/ pains I am getting ( or imagining lol) at the moment, but i'm too hot to be bothered will save it for tomorrow. All I'll say is I get AF cramps in the middle/low, but I don't think I have ever got pg cramps- not that I've noticed anyway. I really hope yours are impantation cos they are a bit early to be AF aren't they? Or did this happen last month for you?
Hi Sunbeam ( great about your back) and Matthewsmum ( yay for december)
yep, pranged into it. Lucky for me it was a ute with a very cheerful bloke in it who just looked at my poor car and said don't worry about insurance etc (there wasn't even a scratch on his ute). My car was completely squashed - it took 6 weeks to fix because up here that's how long things take (agg). Moral to the story: don't read and drive!!
sorry babe!! xx
not real happy about that i dont like the thought of no sex and bed rest and then bleeding or hemoraging the placenta is in the worst place possible so i am willing it to move but if our girl needs to come out the sunroof then so be it as long as she is healthy.
Glad you weren't hurt in learning this lesson though.
Yes time for new undies. I've done worse and thought it was blood and it was the pattern on the loo paper!
babe its just an impossible time anyway but worse after IVF by far.
