Danni - I think the link is there??!!

LOL Danni - Ohhhhhh I hope so!!!
That is sure a good looking chart lil_chookie, hope that when you test you get a BFP staring back at you.
Thanks Kirsty,
This good feedback from chart is making me feel a little bit excited, I wasn't sure if it was a good chart or not.
xox
looks pretty good to me too lil-chookie....fingers crossed hey..
How is that express train going ladies? hope the tww isn't driving anyone mad yet
Dh and I had a lovely weekend and good old AF came along as well which was thoughtful of her. We hit some of the wineries along the Mornington Peninsula and has a wonderful time. I left the diet at home along with all my baby stresses (well pretty much)
Michelle - how did you get on with the appointments? Gosh I knew I had a BB addiction today when I was thinking about your appointment with Lyndon when I was waiting for the lift at work LOL
Leis- was not impressed with that hpg, but did enjoy my 5 minutes of thinking I might be getting a Christmas baby even though DH was telling me not to get too excited LOL
Off to bed with me I think, hope everyone is well
:wave: Hope everyone is well... have been MIA for awhile, been a tad busy at work... good luck to everyone.
Jane glad you had a great time away, hope AF didn't give you to much greif... love leis xx
awww jane!
you sounds much more relaxed though which is great!
hope she has gone as quickly as she arrived :)
here girls, hope you might enjoy this as much as i did:
Some dream of big houses
Or shiny new cars,
Ours is to someday
Hold a baby that’s ours.
Some dream of more money
To hoard and to keep,
Mine is to someday
Rock my baby to sleep.
Some dream of careers
In buildings so tall,
His is to someday
Toss his kid a baseball.
Some dream of great power
To be strong and tough,
Ours is to someday
Have a child to love.
Some dream of things
Such as silver and gold
Ours is of the day
Our child we’ll hold.
ooohhh Dan...that's beautiful...
hi girls,
thanks for thinking about me Jane, still no news on our appointment, i spoke to our specialists receptionist yesterday, she said she was sending them the referal then and they would get in contact with us so i am trying my hardest/best to be paitent but unfortunatley that is not a strong point of mine, but i now realise it is going to be something i need to work on, mum suggested every time i was frustrated etc i go and pull out some weeds or do some housework, as well as count to ten, so i did unpack more boxes we moved in two months ago and set up my sewing room, so will get a couple of projects on the go,
danni that poem was lovely
lil chookie, any news yet fingers crossed,
well i had better go and get some dinner on
only two days till the weekend got to love two 3 day weeks in a row
Hi ladies
It's been quite a while since I posted. the site went bang and I couldn't get for ages.
well it was a negative for me after all that. The cycle was probably the worst yet in terms of having all the symptoms and getting nothing. I tested on Friday 14th, and started bleeding on the Wednesday before, which was awful. I had had really dore boobs, lots of veins, cramping and everything, but apart from that, I really felt that it had worked, so was devastated when the spotting got heavier and heavier, and the result was not a surprise.
Obviously we have had time to talk since then. I don't know why, but I really don'believe that IVF is necessarily the answer for us. I think perhaps the whole process is too much for my system. I have a deep down belief that we stand much more chance of getting pregnant naturally. I haven't relaxed or enjoyed myself in two years, so since the result we've been out, have a few glasses of wine, when we've wanted to and generallly let go of the whole burden of infertility. At the end of the day, the statistics of getting pregnant through IVF are against everyone, and supposing it doesn't work, I have ot live with myself some how. I must believe that my life is worth something even without a baby.
That all might sound a bit heavy, but really I feel a massive burden has been lifted. I think mood has a lot to do with fetility and conception. I think implantation hasn't been occurring because of something within me. What ever it is, I need rid of it if I'm going to have a baby at all.
I'm so sorry, I have read through the thread, but I haven't really sigested all the info yet. Has anyone got embyos on board? Or heading towards a cycle?
I will get round to personals.....promise
thats great that those thoughts are working for you sara!
i wish i could find a way to live my burden and put my feet up too/
well done on easing your mind and i hope things all fall into place for you :)

:smt023 That's so true. For all women, whether you end up being a mum or not. You're still you - valuable person.:
I must believe that my life is worth something even without a baby
I've known a few women who turned around once their kids had left home and realized that somewhere along the line they'd lost their own identity and become just 'Johnny or Mary's mum' - the woman herself had disappeared.
Good luck S
Sue
Oh Sara - we all though that this was your month too....You seem to be in a good spot mentally regarding your future plans....As much as i want a baby, sometimes i have to think to myself...will life be so bad for us if we weren't able to have kids...it sort of puts things into perspective....
sara - I am sorry things went the way they did but I am glad to see you have been able to take some time for yourself & look at things the way you have. Our lives are all worth so much even if we are not blessed with a baby, we have to keep reminding ourselves of that all the time (I know I need to do it more often)
shell - tests didn't arrive so not testing yet which is a good thing (I think!!)
As for me, temps still up although I am having trouble sleeping at the moment :fuming: so I don't know if that is effecting them. So the wait goes on.............
xox
oh chookie your chart is fantastic!!!
did you get your hpts today?
test tomorrow! i am so excited!!
Good luck lil chookie for tomorrow i hope you get the big fat + you are after...
Sara, your posting is quiet true in what you are saying.. i feel similar to you also... I also feel that i will not ride the ivf rollercoaster for years and years... i will not give up TTC naturally but won't let my life revolve constantly around trying to have a child... I believe our life paths are already chosen and we can not change whatever is already set....
Take care of yourself sweetie...
love leis xx
fingers crossed for when you test chookie
Danni - Tests didn't arrive, maybe tomorrow. I am glad I want to wait as long as possible to test anyway (says she the most impatient person in the world). BB's are not as sore today, still huge and swollen but not as sore. I've got to this point before and once the BB's stopped hurting it was all down hill from there. Lovin your positive vibe though babe!!
Good Luck Lil-Chookie - Fingers crossed you're the first one out of here.....Danni is right...your chart looks fantastic
Thanks Shan - you girls are keeping my positive vibe going!!
xox
hi girls, well i just got our appointment in the mail, we are booked in for May the 16th, which is just over 3 weeks away, so feeling quite excited, it is also a week before my birthday so lots of fun things coming up, i am really excited now as i finally feel as if we are on the way to starting our own family \:D/
michelle
Thats great Michelle...now you've got something to concentrate on...3 weeks will fly by...good luck..
Shell - how fantastic you got in so quick, good luck with the appointment
Sararms - so sorry to hear that things didn't go well for you with your last cycle, you and Suzi make such good points
everyone tww-ing - hope the wait is going well
me - well I have made a decision that I am going to have a bit of a break from the thread, I really think it's becoming counter-productive for me as I worry enough about all of this and have been dwelling on it all waaaay too much. Seeing that I am going to be in limbo land until July anyway I think I might just take things easy. Plus everytime I come on I seem to feel worse lately and dont feel I can contribute in a positive way to the group. I really do appreciate all of the wonderful support and advice that you have all given me though, it's just that I am extrememly down about it all at the moment and need to find another way of coping if that makes sense.
I will pop in from time to time but wont be in here quite as often. I hope everyone has lots of luck.
Cheers
Jane
Awww, sorry to hear that Jane, but I do understand where you're coming from.
Don't be too much of a stranger.
Take care of your heart.
Sue
Oh Jane...i know how it is...i went through this a month or so ago, but i found that i was actually worse....the positiveness that i got from everyone here was so much better for me than holding my feelings in and letting them get to me.....
But saying that, i understand and respect your decision...you do what is best for you honey..
Take care of yourself and don't forget us all together..
Jane - Sweetie big *hugs* to you, I understand totally how you feel. I go up and down all the time and sometimes I think coming on here makes it worse for me. But then I remember that you girls are the ones who really know the pain & emotions of ttc and I find coming here gives me comfort. I have my close friends irl who are here for me but I know they don't really understand how I feel and sometimes when I am upset they just don't know what to say to me. Jane don't think that you can't contribute positively to the group, just knowing that you understand is all us girls need sometimes. I respect your decision to need some time away from here and I hope you find some comfort. Be kind to yourself, we'll miss you xox
shell - yay for the appointment. Glad you are feeling positive about the direction you are heading in.
Well the tests arrived, I have done a few (the obsessive testing begins & of course if I pee on it an hour later things are going to have changed!! You think by now I would have learnt). Faint lines have come up within the time frame, but nothing thats good enough for me. So the crazy waiting goes on............
Chookie - a faint line is better than no line....ooohhh i hope it gets darker...
Shan - I do too, I guess it is the price you pay for buying cheap tests off the internet - confusion!! But I have spent enough on tests over the years and I refuse to do it anymore. Trying to get over my POAS problem LOL
So what is going to happen is my lines will get darker and then you will get a BFP because I am not leaving here with out you!!
xox
oh chookie, i wish that were true too, but i don't think it's going to happen any time soon!
I got my 7DPO bt results back today and they were only 13.
I've been crying my eyes out all afternoon....i thought that by upping the dose of clomid that i would get a better result...that's what they told me at the clinic anyway.....this is my lowest ever...i don't know how much more i can take of it all...it feels just like this: ](*,)
Oh Shan - I am so sorry about the bt results. That just sucks!! Is uping the does of clomid maybe too much?? I don't know much about clomid because I won't take it.
I so understand the I don't know how much more of this I can take. DH found me sitting on the kitchen floor crying my eyes out a few weeks ago & they were my exact words.
It's just plain NOT FAIR and it's hard and it's a merry-go-round that just keeps going and going and going and you just want it to be your turn to get off!
I am on MSN most days of you ever need to talk, I am here for you lovely.
xox
thanks hun....i've put your msn addy into my msn contacts so i might take you up on that...i'm on most of the time too...
oh chookie i told u that u were preg!! i got a faint line this morning too
so wait til sunday and test with the first morning urine!!
shan i love u hunny
thanks dan - love you too babe
Hello all you wonderful women. I just wanted to pop in here and spread some :pdust:
I haven't posted in quiteawhile but have been trying to catch up on everone's progress regularly. I am so saddened tonight to read that things are not going so well for many of you.
Sarams - I have been watching out for you to post and praying that this cycle was to be the one. I am so, so sorry hat things did not work out. You are such a brave person to be able to pick yourself up again and look to a future no matter what that may be. I truly hope you can find a path that leads to the child/children you deserve. I have a very good friend who was on the IVF patch for many years. Was at the point where specialist was talking egg donation. She eventually gave it a break to reconsider life options - went out drinking and enjoying herself and bam -natural pregnancy which has resulted in a beautiful little boy. Miracles DO happen!
Jane - you poor thing, you have travelled such a rough road lately. I understand the need for a break. It certainly can get a bit obsessive thinking and talking about TTC every single day. I hope some "time out" will help you gain a new perspective on life and that come a few months time you will be in the right frame of mind for the big steps you may be about to take. You too deserve and hopefully WILL get your BFP soon.
Shan - I am so sorry the clomid is not doing its thing for you. My specialist did warn me when I started on it that not everyone responds. Are you going to try injectables next? A lot of women will respond very well to FSH injections (puregon or GonalF) even if little respons eto Clomid. FSH acts directly on your ovaries wheras clomid has to act on your brain to then tell your ovaries what to do. Best of luck for whatever path you end up on.
Lil-Chookie - A faint +ve is still a +ve!! So praying for you that it becomes a true BFP very soon
Danni - did you say you got a faint +ve too?
Best of luck to all of you and may your dreams be fulfilled soon!
hey meredith i got a faint positive yesterday and this morning i forgot to catch my wee!
i guess i will find out tomorrow
Hi all,

I'm lurking even though I'm not posting as much (I'm not so good at typing one-handed) so will be looking out for good news!
love
