Trying to Conceive after Loss or Miscarriage ~ June 08 #2

[~ Mylitta ~]

Jen - All hail the mighty Thermometer! Your chart is looking super!! Either you had some freaky chills going on for two days, or you have a great looking implantation dip. I'm definitely crossing my fingers for the second option
I hope you DS is back to 100% now. Poor little mite! And hey, I thought they called "slides" "slippery dips" in your neck of the woods? No?... Maybe I just made that up then... I tend to do that. Made up a new word at work the other day. It was a doozy, so it's a shame I can't remember what it is now. My work mates are never sure if I actually make up words or if I just have a bigger vocabulary than them because I continue the conversation as if it's a real word

Vanaithi - I'm so glad you are sleeping better. And your chart is looking soooooo good!!! I can't believe how strong you are being and not testing yet. I'm such a sucker for early testing. I just can't help myself. I was too busy peeing on a stick when they were handing out will power and patience!

Issy - Any chance for a BFP is a chance I'm willing to take, whether it's scientifically proven or not, lol. I hope Mr Jonas' theory is working for you!!

Easha - I hope I didn't give you my cyber germs! Lol. Seems like wuite a few of us are catching whatever it is going around. I've told DH that I'm going to be all better tomorrow. Fingers crossed you will be too!

Mel - You must be so excited! You'll have to tell us alllll about your scan. You'll get to see a heart beat!!! Oh my, I get so excited about these things, hehehe.

Joey - I've been painting recently too. Mine were inside walls (hallway, front room, back room etc). It was fun at first... but the excitement really wears off quickly doesn't it?
I hope your friend enjoyed her bday dinner with you!

Mollycat - I'm glad your headaches left when you finished the tamoxifen. Good luck with your "playtime"!!

Angel Babies - I don't believe in fate etc, but sometimes things happen in life that make me wonder if maybe I'm wrong... And other times I hope that there is such a thing as fate, because if there is, I am positive that you are pregnant right now. It would just seem "right" wouldn't it? Your angels would know how hard their EDD will be on you, and would want to do anything they can to help you thorugh it. Sending a little soul to you in your time of need might be their little "birthday" present to you sweetness!


Me: I'm still a sickie-bug. I'm convincing myself that I'll be on the mend tomorrow though. Don't know why I am still up though, lol. I only got home from work at 1.15am and I still have to convince DH to wake up enough to make a baby!

Super hugs to you all!

Krystie--lol... never heard of the term "slippery dips", but it's a good one! We just call them waterslides--how boring, I know! Feeling a little discouraged this am... POAS=BFN.... BUT, I do have to say that I used the test that I got for free with the Preseed, and it was also the test I took camping, so I'm sure the temperature could have had an impact on the results. I know for sure the temp went above what it says on the package! Also tried another chart at a different site today, and it put me at a different O day (it said I O'ed on CD15, but FF said CD13), which pretty much would put me out as far as BD'ing at my most fertile time. Think I'll stick with the FF chart, that one seems to correlate best with the signs I was having at the time! Or maybe it just didn't happen this cycle--I'm just not sure! But I would think that if it were an implantation dip that I had on CD7, then I would be able to get a + result by now, don't you agree? I'm realizing that we didn't BD as much as we should/could have during my fertile time--seemed like we just weren't that into it this month. Plus, we were going by a chart that was for conceiving a girl, so it said NOT to BD on days I had fertile CM, so I think that really cut my chances down for this month. Guess I'll know for sure in a few days... Hey you work for a vet, right? How is it you get home so late from work, is it a 24 hour clinic, or what? Better get busy and wake up DH, with O right around the corner, you don't want to miss that egg! Hope you're on the mend and feeling better after a good night's rest!


Angel babies--Glad you're still lurking, it makes me happy every time you post! Saying big that your angel babies have sent you a precious new soul just in time for their upcoming EDD! Sending you all the and :goodluck2: that you need, plus I've got everything double-crossed for you! I think seeing your BFP would make me happier than seeing my own!


bettyboop--Hope the second half of your TWW flies by, and you're blessed with a BFP at the end of it! Good luck!


mollycat--Glad to hear you're done with the Tamoxifen, and the headaches! Do you have a round about idea of when you should be O'ing? Make sure you get in all the "playtime" you can get so you can catch that little egg!


joey--Aside from being a little hoarse (probably from dehydration), DS is feeling much better today, thanks for asking! I'm not upset at all that the vacation was cut short, or I wouldn't be here, so
woo-hoo for ruined plans! Now I just have to cancel my $60/mo. wireless internet since I only got it specifically for this trip! the things we addicts do for BB!! You'll see soon enough, I'm sure!


Mel--Good luck again for your scan today! Can't wait to hear all about that tiny little

[Katiegirl]

Hi all - I just thought I would let you know that we had the 19 week morph scan last week and it all went brilliantly. The baby was measuring 1 day ahead and everything looked good. So that was a big weight off my shoulders. We also decided to find out the sex....so....its a girl! I was quite surprised as I had made up my mind that I was having another boy. It also means my DH won the bet we had going and I owe him 1 weeks worth of back massages. So I am now getting used to the idea of having a little girl around.

Thanks for all your lovely messages of support. Good luck to everyone in the TWW. I hope to see some more BFPs soon.

[mollycat]

Katiegirl - congratulations on your bet DH is looking forward to all those massages. Good luck picking out all the pretty pink things

[Vanaithi]

hello ladies...

jen, joey & krystielove: im not strong at all.. have poas at 7dpo, 8dpo, 10dpo, 12dpo... practically every day! all negative

issy: please tell me more about this lunar calendar & cycles, & how i can find out more??? thanks in advance!

katiegirl:

afm: this cycle is the longest i have ever had... my temp took a terrible dunk this morning... and af will come for me soon... im just so sad & angry that i o'd late & makes af late & wasted so much time... im feeling so emotional & weepy.. sorry everyone...

[bettyboop]

katiegirl - great new about your scan and that you are having a girl.

[AJC]

Good Morning wonderful ladies....

I've tried to catch up but I am just not getting anywhere. One thing is for sure though - we are due for some BFP's. They never seem to come one at a time so hoping to see lots of them again soon!

kategirl - glad all is going well with you and.... your little girl. Congrats to you and your DH.

I can see some newbies here - sorry for your loss. You will find wonderful support in here!

afm - doing fine. Just can't wait until I have my next scan & get to the end of the first tri. Have passed my milestone now - (although last m/c was missed anyway) - I am still having all the same symptoms so taking that as a good sign things are still progressing nicely. Have my NT scan on 10 July - that will be two weeks this Thu - guess who's counting down?!?! I just can't wait to tell our parents.

Sending you all lots and lots of

[mollycat]

AJC - glad your doing fine - was thinking that we haven't seen much of you lately - obviously too busy counting the dates until you next see baby - Good to see you have passed that milestone bet your parents will be so happy for you.

Jen - O time is going to be a bittersweet time, i'm due to O this weekend that's when bub would have been due, not sure how I'll go but i've told DH that I want to spend the weekend as a family with no outsiders, and do something together.

Vanaithi - big for you. Lock the door and keep the witch out. Or you could look on the positives (as Issy does) just means a fresh start and maybe this next cycle will be better for you

[Easha]

hi ladies,

still feeling crappy today so I have spent the day on the couch.... hopefully be up and around tomorrow.

Krystielove- hope you are feeling better and are able to give the baby making a good go.

Mel A - good luck on the 1st scan we cant wait to hear the outcome

Katiegirl - congrats on the new baby girl - I am very excited for you

Vanaithi - I have done a lot of reading on the lunar cycle through Francesca Naish books on fertility. She also runs a centre in Sydney called the Jocelyn centre for fertility or something like that. What I understand is you determine what phase the moon was when you were born - try this website StarDate Online | Moon Phase Calculator and then determine when the moon is in ths same position during the current month. Apparently even if AF is around you can still concieve on this day ??? and even better you are apparently pretty much guarenteed to fall if the lunar phase falls the same day as you ovulate.

Anyway back to the couch for me

Hi All,

Mollycat - can't use the 'too short' line as we are both using ladders! And my daughter is only 9, so she's not quite good enough at the painting business to recruit her yet, but I'll keep thinking.

Mel (knickers) - How you going? All clear??

Angel Babies - I'd be POAS in 3 days if I were you. I don't like waiting! Good luck!

KL - We've all got painting fever!! Unfortunately, ours didn't even start off as fun. It was a chore right from the word go, but I know it will look much better when it's done. Dinner was good, thanks. A bit late for me though. I'm an early bird. In bed evrey night by 8.30pm and usually asleep by 9!! We didn't finish dinner till 8.30pm so I am a bit tired today. I know, I know. It's sad. My friend calls me a grandma! Did you manage to convince your DH to BD? Just read your most recent post. Well done to your DH for coming through with the goods. If the little catch you're egg, I'm sure you'll owe him a nice massage (or a night out with the boys if he prefers)! Hope it was your time. Can't wait to see your BFP!!

Jen - Let's think positive and assume the test is ruined cause of the heat! Seems I've already found out about the BB addiction, seeing I'm here now, and it's a school night, and I'm normally tucked up nice and warm by now (it's winter here). I thought I would just post on the weekends cause I'm pretty busy during the week, but here I am!! I can't beleive you took us to the movies. Was the film good? Did we enjoy it? My DH would kill me if I did that!!

WTH - Congratulations on your BFP. I hope it all goes well for you. Sorry I can't help you with your questions. I know absolutely nothing about this. All I am familiar with is hGC. I'm sure someone else will be able to help you out though.

Katie Girl - Hi. Nice to meet you. CONGRATULATIONS!! You're a lucky duck!! Can't wait to be in the same boat. What a great idea about the bet you made with your DH. I might look into that (so long as I can guarantee I win!!)

Vanaithi - Big to you. Sorry you're going to see AF. Perhaps this will be the last month you will have to see her for a while. Good luck withthe coming month. I hope all goes to plan. And don't feel like you're complaining. That's what we're here for. Take care, and chin up.

Easha - Hope you're feeling better soon.

Sara Jane - Congratulations to you!! You lucky thing. I too hope you've started the run.

AFM, today was the first day back at work with no tears, and a normal day. I enjoyed teaching my kids again, and other than the 9 year old girl in the playground with a 17 year old's attitude, I had a fantastic day. I hope today was the start of many more to come. I have to get off this thing - It's past my bed time!!!

to you all!
