Good luck to everyone this month and wishing you all BFPs!!!
Hi ladies, sorry I have not posted for awhile, I was away on holidays and now I'm back and I can post again. I just want to say you ladies are all amazing and have been so wonderful to me, thank you all for your kind messages, it means so much to me. I have my fingers crossed for BFPs from you all in 2009!! Here goes with the personals I've missed, I hope I don't miss anyone sorry if I do.
Kittycat27 - Thanks for you message, honey miracles do happen I absolutely believe it now, just keep it will happen.
JBM - Thank you for your message, I have my fingers crossed for a BFP for March for you honey.
Dutchie80 - Thanks for your well wishes, fingers crossed for you for Feb, bring on the BFP!
Mels77 - Thanks honey I look forward to this journey with you too also thanks so much about your advice about the spotting, it helped me as I was freaking out the clinic was closed over the Christmas period and I had no-one to ring. Thank you. See you in the other forum.
Possums - Thanks for your congrats honey and words of encouragement. I will support you all the way also and I know it is hard to not be anxious. Thanks so much for your info about the brown spotting you put my mind at ease. I'm so pleased your levels are good I will see you in the other forum!
Wouldloveabubba - Thank you, you know its all still so surreal I feel very blessed, still worried all the time but I will every day.

MissMagpie - Thanks honey for your well wishes. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Ruth08 - Thanks for your message, Congratulations on your BFP I am so happy for you!
dellydoo - Thanks honey for your message. I am so sorry about your news, I have my fingers crossed that 2009 is your year!!
Murph01 - Thanks for your wishes, I'm sorry that AF came, I just wanted you to know mine was unexplained infertility, it took us 13 years, 4 IUIs and 1 IVF cycle (very lucky and grateful) but it can happen honey, hang in there, miracles do happen..
AFM - I have my BT tomorrow, a bit nervous, I hope it is all ok, this is the first BT since my pregnancy test on 27 Dec, I hope my levels are ok.
Bring on the BFP's for 2009, I will be popping in and keeping an eye on all of you, I can't wait to see more BFP's ladies!! Good luck in your 2ww ladies, just try to keep busy and stay positive
i just wanted to congratulate all of you ladies that had BFP for xmas this year...
i especially wanted to say well done to those of you who have been trying for so long like possums who have no children yet. i can only imagine how happy you all must be.
i feel so grateful for my daughter, (4yrs old now) and know how lucky i am to have her. i don't know how i would have coped all these years without her.
so from someone who has become pregnant and had a healthy baby without all the intervention, the tests and numbers i wanted to tell you all to relax and enjoy it.
once you get the BFP don't worry about the hcg count or the symptoms.
you are pregnant and that is all that matters.
when i got pregnant in 2004 i didnt even know what hcg was!
jen34- congrats. enjoy. take lots of photos. keep a diary of everything. enjoy and savour ever little kick, push and poke. i wish i had did all these things when i took being pregant for granted the first time.
murph- sorry about your terrible time lately. i can't imagine what it must be like to be late and to have your hopes raised. i never get to be late. i was a week early with my last FET. i live in cairns, so if you ever need anything let me know. i can always post u up some OPK! hahahah. i just got 50 online at ebay!
afm- i am in a natural cycle and have my first appointment with a naturapath, acupuncturist chinese medicine man tomorrow. i am heplful he may be able to get my old tired and scared uterus into shape before my next FET.
i must have written my bit very poorly though (was staying at in-laws so had to be quick,,, that's my excuse)...
I had a stimulated ivf cycle November, BFN; AF arrived Decemeber 5; Due again last Friday - STILL nota here!!?? So this month was drug-free and i'm usually like clock work.
JBM - that is what i was fearing, losing my timing. thanks for the info and the hope.
missmappie! good luck lovey. let the games begin? lol.
jen - good luck with your BT today! hope the levels are strong.
FNQ kittycat - good luck on the natural cycle this month! and for the lovely words.. it certainly isn't made easy for some of us and the frustration is the worst! ox
I'm back, praying that it is for the last time. I had two great early blasties transferred yesterday and am now officially in the TWW. My BT is on the 16th Jan, so only 8 days to go. Am telling myself I am now PREGNANT WITH TWINS, and hope it stays that way. Just trying to keep my emotions on an even keel and not letting any of those nasty negative thoughts drop in.
I will catch up as soon as I can on personals, bring on the BFPs. Love to all, xx
yay babydreamtime! good luck in your TWW. Fingers crossed these are the ones!! Be sure to add "ignore all symptoms" to your mantra
I'm that this is your BFP. Mels x
Babydreamtime, congrats on two embies on board! Praying a double BFP for you hun! Totally with Mel re 'symptoms' mantra, don't be fooled...those stooopid symptoms!
i just love the "ignore al symptoms" mantra. the thread should be retitled that! lol.
good luck babydreamtime - keep those +ve thoughts... hold onto them even in the horrid 2nd week.
AFM: still no AF. rang the clinic and they said it that the stim cycle has mucked up my cycle timing and i was to have a bt this morning... but if i got af not to go for the bt. so of course i got some spotting yesterday arvo and a small amount of discolouration this morn (sorry tmi) so thought af had arrived and didn't go for bt....
and murphy's law - i've had nothing since. so like a dufus made DH ring the clinic and going back in on saturday morn for bt (if af doesn't arrive). had some stabbing pains in my belly so not sure if AF is trying to annouce herself or whats going on.... still very confused. am going to do another POAS tomorrow morn but if AF doesn't arrive and it's still -ve the clinic still wants to run tests as the nurse said i could still be pg.
i know i'm not UTD, as that would be too lucky and i'm just not lucky on the baby front, so i really just want the stupid AF to arrive so i can do my FET!!! bbrrrhhh
sorry for the rant. i am just feeling like this is so unfair. such a blow... don't we already have to go through enough emotional ****e without having our hopes raised and crushed like this on a natural cycle... crying now. must go and get sympathy from my darling, wonderful hubby.
Oh Grub, don't apologise for the rant. Who else, but us really know what you're going through. You are just expressing all those feelings that get bottled up and at some stage we all go through them. Even if we don't experience the same thing, it helps to see that we all have our ups and downs. I have just gone through very similar and at the time, it seems like a really bad thing, but you get through it. I know you say that lucky things don't happen to you, but they can happen to anyone, anytime. Don't lose hope, it's just a hard time right now. I found the thing about wanting AF to just arrive is kind of just a control thing to put you out of that misery of hoping too hard and then getting disappointed.
Your AF is really off track and I know it is so hard not to hope but I hope you have some answers soon and can either deal with the disappointment or celebrate. Either way, the hardest part is being in limbo.
Take care.
Thanks to all the girls who got me through my extended tww. I'm calm and collected again and detoxing the caffeine and sugar from my system. They're sturdy little buddies in a crisis but you don't want to wear them out.
Kittycat - you made me laugh with t he comment about the 50 pack of OPK. that really was an embarrassing confession of mine Lucky it's just our little secret hey
BDT- welcome to you and your precious cargo and goodluck!
Everyone else, hope you are traveling okay and lots of luck for the Jan/Feb BFPs.
I am 7dpo and it has started already. I know I know, don't look for symptoms, but yesterday started with a corker of a head ache, I felt incredibly tired, felt hot and sweaty all day even in the aircon, and little twinges and pulls inside. I know this is totally too early, but it is sooo hard to ignore. I can?t help myself.
I did my last POAS yesterday just to confirm that the Pregnyl is out of my system, which it was. So now I just have to decide how long I am going to wait until I POAS again, or if I am going to hold out for the 16th. Arghh, it is only a week, can I make it? It seems like forever.
Possums, glad you are feeling better. GL with your BT and scan next week, we are all praying for you
Murph, hope you are going well
JBM, sending hugs
Hayley, I totally agree with you, I hope it is a surprise BFP and not just a delayed AF, though I have to tell you that for my last two stim cycles the month following AF was 1 - 2 weeks late each time. If AF comes, fingers crossed for your FET
Cuddlepie, great news re your talk with your FS, will be praying for you for your FET, 2009 will be the year
Mels, I am trying to take your advice and ignore all symptoms, God help me please
Kitty, hope your appointment with you naturapath/AP went well. I love AP, have been doing it for almost 2 years now, I use it as the perfect time to relax, meditate, visualise etc. Lots of luck for your coming FET
Jen, hope your BT went well yesterday, we are all praying for you
Apart from you lovely ladies on natural cycles, am I the only one on an AC TWW? Hope we can get 2009 off to a great start with lots of BFP. Love to all
Thanks so much for all the well wishes. I am just hanging on, trying to do as you all say and ignore symptoms. But it is very difficult. I have had AF type pains for the last few days, and frequently sharpish cramps and twinges, but despite this am praying that it is just the progesterone. Stay away AF. I am 10dpo today. I have decided that I will wait until Friday morning to POAS, I would rather live in blissful ignorance than start stressing myself out if nothing comes up on a POAS now.
So 4 sleeps to go, this is my first BT that has been scheduled for 14dpo rather than 16 or 17dpo. Mostly with my LPD AF arrives about 12dpo regardless of progesterone, so by Friday I will be well and truly hopeful.
Possums, glad to hear that all is ok with you, hoping your hcg continues upwards, thinking of you
Mollygirl, thanks, I am keeping sane, reading and watching funny books/movies. And trying to keep occupied at work. Love the new signature, I will have to do the same and come up with something more positive (like adding a real BFP on Friday, fingers crossed).
Sara, I am praying for your embies, just closed my eyes and imagined them all the way down in Sydney and sent them lots of love and positive energy.
Mels, Cuddlepie, JBM, Murph, Kitty, Jen and Hayley, hi to you all
