Girls I am here and OK, just...a bit edgy and distracted and veeeerry tired after having my best friend stay with me for a few days. I also had my cards read this morning and my mind is buzzing. Mako - remind me I need to talk to you about that...you came up
Michelle - My mum and aunty had to rush my nan to your work the other day (Saturday? can't remember) She's having her treatment there. She had fevers and pain, turns out she has an infection in her leg, not sure it's related to the chemo/cancer. Mum said she thought to ask for you and was trying to read name badges but it was a little difficult. She didn't know your last name either (so I told her for future reference, hope that's OK). Told her you were busy with your dad anyway My nan is OK, on antibiotics for the infection and is much better although woke mum this morning at 3am crawling the bed in pain My mum was with her alone and was quite frightened. She ended up getting in to bed with my nan who eventually slept. It's killing my mum, it really is
My head space is not right atm, just a few issues, nothing major and feeling too drained to talk about it right now. But I will BBL when I have some sleep.
Thinking of you all

Ladies i know we all have our own things going on but just need to talk to someone as i'm worried & scared, last month AF showed up 37days after the D&C and atm i'm up to CD40 and no AF i did a 1st response HPT this morning and got a feint/light pink 2nd line. What do you think?
Willow - more than happy for them to ask for me. Is she 94??? I think it may have been her there on Sunday with fevers. I check the triages And where do you get your cards done????
Deb - I am so pleased there is a settlement finally. One step down and one step closer to closure and moving on. Your BP may needs drugs but the lifestyle change and the conclusion of this phase will have a lot of positives too Mr Wonderful will be just the father of your children soon and less of a problem for you (most of the time )
Your probably pregnant Jo! I got pregnant straight after a d&c when I was TTC Ds1. Youve had a cycle between now and d&c so there is a high chance youve ovulated and could get pregnant. Just give it a few days then test again. Otherwise head to your gp for a blood test. Good luck!
Willow - Im here if you wanna chat. Ditto Michelle, where do you get your cards done?
It sounds like it could be a positive my love! I know it's scary after a loss - but try and go with this. I would go and buy some more tests (because I am POAS addict!) & test again in the morning...
Big cuddles...xxx
Thanks Michelle - It's 190/130 at 10am... Feeling pretty crap - beginning coversyl as soon as I go to the pharmacy - then a trip to the beach for a walk... I agree it's lifestyle probably... Although an aortic embolus is in the back of my mind due to my history.... Feeling quite anxious which clearly isn't helping!
Michelle - I am sorry that DH is coping by withdrawl - I know this is so very stressful. He is probably right that he has noone that can talk this through without judgement or personal/professional agendas/sways. I know myself, there was little support for carrying the pregnancy if it was not perfect due to the field I worked in... So, it's hard to get balanced views sometimes.
That's why I wanted to illustrate to you that we all make differing decisions based on different times in our lives/personal experiences/philosophies as we grow & change etc...
Know you can lean fully on us - and we will always be here.
Boham: I agree with Michelle hun, a line is a line. Sound like you might be UTD hun. I hope and pray you are.
Willow: I really feel sorry for you and your family. Caring for a close family member takes such an emotional toll. I hope your Nan recovers from her infection quickly and painlessly.
Kelly: I'd tend to agree that 6-8 weeks sounds excessive. I've always been told that you can swim and DTD etc once the bleeding has stopped. I hope you've managed to get in the pool and have a relaxing swim.
Mako: Make sure you take it easy babe. Sounds like you might be fighting off a bug or something. I hope you are feeling better today.
Freya: Oh poor DS. Cpox sucks. I hope he is over the worst of it soon and that you all feel better soon.
Laney: Oh hun I'm so very sorry to hear about your chemical preg. I hope this is the cycle for you.
Inanna: Now listen here woman, with a BP like that you need take it easy, do you hear me. Don't let FOTY get to you any more hun, you've done such an amazing job getting the property settlement sorted and before long this whole debarcle will just be a nasty memory. Please please please try to take it easy.
BW: A low grade temp is about as bad as DS ever got with his injections. If you are really worried perhaps call the GP and just run it by them.
Well we are doing well. B had a bit of an unsettled time last night but it wasn't too bad. Just a question (Freya you might be the best to ask) but when it is really hot and humid, is it normal for bubs to pretty much just want to be at the breast. B seems to have a good feed, settle for a while and then be wanting more. He isn't like that at night after the sun has gone down but during the day he is just thirsty thirsty thirsty. Doesn't bother me, I just wanted to see if anyone else had experienced that in hot climates.
Michelle - No, she's only 84 I think? And yes, it may have been Sunday. The last few days are a bit of a blur for me.
Deb - Sorry, I only skimmed the thread and missed your post. I hope your BP resolves, take it easy lovely lady Glad to hear the settlement has been sorted. Will you still be moving? I remember you posting about enrolling the kids in a new school etc.
Michelle/Freya - I have my cards read at a place in Penrith called Inner Forest. It's a 'new age' kinda shop -crystals, books etc. The lady's name is Ann. She is pretty accurate Which is the reason my mind is buzzing today!! LOL She says she sees another baby for me, a little girl She also referred to my angel baby as 'she' quite a few times. I've always felt it was a baby girl we lost. There was a point where she thought perhaps it was this child she was seeing but by the end of the reading she was quite sure there was another to come. Also that we will be moving AND I'll be getting a new car this year - woot!! You know how much I want my Kluger LOL. We'll see...
Jo - Sounds promising babe! Very exciting but scary at the same time

: typos...I'm a zombie today!
Jo, sounds very promising hun!!!!!!!!!! I'm so excited for you Keep us in the loop hun.
Deb, I was going to come in here today and ask how things were going with settlement etc. I'm sure it's very stressful, but it sounds as though things are progressing nicely............hang in there hun, it won't be long
Michelle, I wish I could give you a massive IRL hug!!!!!!!!! G will come around to you, he obviously just needs some time to process things for himself. I know that isn't easy on you at all, but make the most of the support you have here and elsewhere, and be ready for him when he opens up .
Willow, wow!!!!! What a full-on morning. Sounds like things are tough for you ATM hun, hope they get better soon.
Bek, massive hugs for you my love, having those days is soooooooooo hard. Know that we're all here if you want to chat
Spring, I'm obviously not in a hot climate , but it sounds very normal .
Kelly, thinking of you lots darl. Yes, we'll definitely catch up when you're back! And my friends that I told you about would love to meet you too (you met one briefly when you were here that day?). Enjoy the rest of your time in Perth.
Hey Mako, feeling like doing a HPT???????
Gotta go girls, sorry to be brief, and miss people. I need to get a lie down in before DS wakes up. Will probably BBL
Thanks ladies, i'll be testing again on Friday my older sister (tk1999) is coming to visit from Thursday until Saturday for Sophie's birthday and to offer more support. I'll definately let you all know how it goes.
Lots happening in here, most of the time i dont know what to say so only check-in but dont post sorry.
LOL Janie you are so on the same page as me....... MAKO, go POAS woman! I think you might find something exciting.
BONHAM - You as well! Go POAS again! I'm excited!
WILLOW _ Sorry to hear your Nan has taken a turn, I really hope her infection clears quickly, your poor Mum as well, are their other siblings that can help out with your Nan as well?
JANIE - Are you resting?????
KELLY - I'm working tomorrow, at Jandakot airport on Thursday, but nothing late Friday afternoon if you want to catch up? Completely understand if you have too much on though. Also, I don't remember being told about no baths or swimming after my D&C, so I just assumed I could after the bleeding stopped? Go enjoy yourself honey, you deserve it!
MICHELLE - Oh hun, does Greg have a nice family friend or a colleague at work that he could speak to? Or better yet, do you think you could organise a dinner or set some time up when the kids are in bed at night to sit down & talk? Glad your dad is stuck back together!
FREYA _ Oh what a lucky thing you are to have the pox in your place! I hope Jett settles down soon.
LISA _ Where on earth are you?
AFM _ I went back to work yesterday, big changes are happening due to lots of office politics which makes me even more glad I didn't accept their permanent part-time position offered last year - casual suits me just fine! But it was nice to savvy myself up for a few hours & speak in my professional voice - even if it doesn't last much longer. LOL
Maaaan My Mum just called, they have to take Nan back to hospital. Her fever has spiked again and the community nurse who has been visiting wants her back in hospital. Not sure if they'll keep her in or not. I was going to see her in the morning
Willow - Massive hugs.. I hope all is ok with your Nan.
Jayne - Would LOVE to catch up.. I'm staying with Mum in Willetton.. just around the corner from Jandakot!!! Not sure when you'll be there or if you have time before or after for a quick coffee... otherwise, I'm free Friday avo??
Jo - Congrats hun.. I definitely think you're pg!! I know how scary it is.. and how hard it is to stay positive (especially with everything thats been going on in here).. but please try. I'm glad you're sister is going to be with you for a few days! And we're ALL here for you.
Janie - Hope all is going well and I can't wait to catch up... would absolutely LOVE to meet your friends too.. am going to be feeling very lonely again when we get back I think.. so the more people I can meet, the better!!! Thanks, you're wonderful.
Spring - I would imagine bubs would feed more in the heat but don't really know. Hope all is well.
Deb - Big hugs.. hope you're bp has settled down a little. Please try to take it easy.. I can't imagine how stressed you must be. Thinking of you.
Michelle - still thinking of you. More hugs for you.. take it easy hun.
Mako - Sage is absolutely gorgeous!! Was so great to sneak onto FB and have a look through some of your pics! Hope you're doing ok today... god knows I'm feeling really up and down (more down than up though I'm afraid).
Big hello and hugs to everyone else that needs them.
AFM - I had a lovely swim with DS today.. he's loving the pool and is getting way too confident in the water!!! It's adorable. Still feeling a bit crappy but that's to be expected and I'm getting sick of whinging about it. Am heading out to dinner with my friends tonight.. so that will be interesting. Then we're getting ready to head back to Melb on Sunday morning. Not much else to report.
Jayne: you crack me up, i'll test again on Friday as i've only got 1 HPT left and will only buy more if i need them. WOW your work sounds a bit full on.
Willow: i'm so sorry to hear your nan has gone back to hospital
Kelly: thanks hun, i am scared but doing my best to think positive, sending big to you. TK1999 is always there for me, as you're all here for me i'm here for you all aswell.
LOL Janie and Jayne you girls are too funny BUT I have POAS today and as I suspected it was a BFN. I wouldn't expect any different really although I was feeling very similar to how I was feeling before my last BFP. Oh well its probably for the best anyways as I have to get some medical stuff sorted out 1st I think.
Jo OMG hun I'm so excited for you although I like everyone else here knows how scary this time may be for you. Make sure you test again in the next couple of days
Willow Oh now you've gone and got me all excited lol.Oh and how exciting that you might be having another baby down the track hun Have you said anything to DH about that one
Know that I'm thinking of you and your family
Ok I'm off to bed. Have a huge day tomorrow. My sister and her kids are coming up and we are going to a little place called Oakvale Farm for the day. Hopefully the kids will like all the animals running around to feed
I'm feeling like cr*p too. I think af isn't too far away..terrible cramping going on today and tonight Oh well to be expected I guess.
BB tomorrow to catch up with everyone else. for you all
Willow prayers and positive thoughts for your Gran & you... xxxx
No BP through the roof - so I have begun on some antihypertensives... Being a nurse & with my history I am concerned about a coronary embolus... Of course it won't be anything simple...
I took the kids and the dog to the beach for a run and a swim... That was nice and relaxing but it didn't budge my numbers on return...
I have a massive headache & I just wish it would all stop!
KELLY _ I'm meeting friends of ours for lunch at the cafe there as they are down on hols from Karratha (could be moving up there ourselves possibly ). Apparently there is a cafe right near the runway or something & it's a real treat for the kiddies, I had never heard of anything being there so I'm a bit excited so I'm meeting her at 10am but will prob be finished by 12-ish & I can pop around to visit your mum if that's ok with her? All 3 of us intruding into your parents home???
