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

[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

[Vanaithi]

mollycat - thanks for the needed that!

its hard trying to be positive, especially when you're all emotional... ykwim... that time of the month.. i hate sharing bad news, feels like you're complaining for nothing, knowing there are worse-off people out there... i am taking a bb break for real now, until i have something really great to report to everyone! i know im just saying that, & then i'll be back tomorrow when im all for positivity again! til then :goodluck2: to all!

[issy02]

Hi ladies,

Vanaithi - Soooo sorry about nasty AF approaching. You are allowed to feel down about it hun, we all do when another month passes. But youre time will come... it may be just around the corner. Pbstar always says...one step closer! You will get there, just see this as a new month and a new chance to catch that little eggie.
As for the lunar cycle stuff, if you look up the jonas lunar calendar on google you will find a lunar cycle calculator. All you have to do is type in your birth date and the exact time that you were born and it will come up with your most fertile times according to your own lunar cycle. This is where I noticed that the fertile times it gave me were the same as the fertile times in my menstrual cycle. Sometimes they don't match up and this is when your menstrual cycle is not in sync with your lunar cycle. I have read that when they match up this is the most optimal time to conceive. Im not sure if this is true or not - there is no evidence to suggest that this is true, but in my case it has been true for each time my lunar cycle matches my menstrual cycle. If you read up on the lunar cycle info it lists some suggestions for getting you menstrual cycle in line with your lunar cycle...they are pretty whack, like sitting in the moonlight for a period of time each night!
Strangely enough, it has also been the months that have indicated that I would have a girl. Each m/c that I have had has been with a girl (according to the lunar and Chinese calendars????) and funnily enough the only baby that I carried to full term was my beautiful little boy Isaac. Probably no link, but interesting.
FYI - I think Jodsan knows more about this stuff than I do, so maybe she can explain it better. But look it up, there is plenty of info out there to read and makes for interesting reading.
GL hun.

Hello to everyone else , im thinking of you all and will get around to more persies soon.

Issy

Jen - Don't lose hope from one BFN! I have tests that say that are able to show a BFP from urine with as little as 10 hcg, but last cycle I poas and it was negative. I did that the day after I had the bloods taken and the bt came back as 17 hcg. So the next day the level should have been even higher and it still didn't come up as a BFP on the stick. I have a feeling that the sticks "might possibly maybe" show up a BFP with a level as low as 10, but mostly it's too light to even see and looks like a BFN. Ok, super rambling by me... But hopefully you get what I mean and that I am just wanting you not to lose hope honeybunch!!

Katie - Congrats on a great morph scan! I'm so happy for you! I hope you can't feel my jealous vibes over you having a little girl, hehehe.

Vanaithi - Ok, now you sound more like me, testing every day. Sometimes I test more than once a day... how embarassing!
I'm so very sorry that things are looking positive for you. Hopefully you just had a freak temperature and that it'll do up tomorrow, but if not, then huge hugs "hug" for you and we will all be here for you next cycle.

AJC - We are sooooo overdue for BFP's aren't we?! I'm super sure there is at least one just around the corner
The time between scans seems to take forever doesn't it? I can't wait to hear the results of your July 10th scan

Mollycat - I'm sorry that this weekend is going to be a hard one for you. It sounds lovely that you are going to spend your bubbas EDD doing something as a family. I'll send you lots of "Strength" vibes and cyber hugs "hug" to help you get through the weekend.

Me: I'm pretty sure I had my pre-ovulation temp dip this morning. I felt some twinges last night on my right side, so I'm sure that I am going to ovulate today/tonight. Poor DH struggled last night considering I woke him at 2am for some BDing. But the trooper came through with the goods, hehehe.

Still got my cold, but I think it's a bit better today. I don't feel quite as congested which is a big relief.

Mega hugs to everyone!

[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

[Heaven]

Hello all!! No internet at home still which has been really awful because I need to tell you all I got a BFP!! Unbelievable, I'm 6 wks tomorrow, just did an announcement.
Can't wait till the internet's back so I can check what's been going on here. I hope I've started a run of BFPs!!
Love to you all!!

[AJC]

WTH - So are congrats in order? GL for your BT results. Am anxious to know more.

Sarahjane - Congrats! ! ! Woohoo. I hope you've started a run of BFP's too. Wishing you a happy & healthy pregnancy.

[Where there's hope]

Ok, this mornings BT result is in - HCG = 110.

So I guess it is official, for now...

Question: Can anyone advise me on high Day 22 Progesterone and Estrogen levels. My P4 (before implantation) was in the 90's, while my Estrogen was over 1000. I had similar levels at Day 24 of my last PG and am very worried I have naturally crazy levels. Any ideas? I did ask my FS (who mostly deals with IVF giving meds to make levels high) so he was not bothered


SaraJane congratulations and sista!

[plc1805]

WTH - Hey hun - HUGE CONGRATS sweetheart!!! So well-deserved!! I'm sorry I can't help you with your questions - hope you can get some answers tho!! Well done sweet!! Sticky vibes!!!

SJ - woohoo!!!! CONGRATULATIONS my dear!!! Can you believe it yourself? I am so praying for a sticky bub this time for you!!

[tina_k]

sarajane: woo hoo! wonderful news, praying that it sticks for you

WTH: ditto! congratulations sweetheat! thats really wonderful to hear ... for you too!!!

Katie: a girl! thats truly wonderful news, i am so so happy for you that all is going well...congratulations

[joey123]

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!

[smilanatu]

Big hugs & welcomes to the new gurlies!

Just poppin in for a quick Monday morning hey...I took off Thursday and Friday to have a rummage sale...should have come to work

I'll try to find some time to read and catch up in a bit...if I've missed any important news please someone tell me!!!

[jen805]

Katiegirl--Congrats again on your baby girl! Do you have any names floating around yet? Will you continue to have the weekly scans until you deliver?


AJC--Ask and you shall receive--3 BFP's since your post asking for some BFP's! lol... Too bad it wasn't that easy all the time! The 3rd BFP came from the TWW thread in case anyone is wondering where I came up with 3, but I won't spoil the good news for her so she can post it here herself. Congrats on passing your milestone! Hope the 2 weeks till your scan flies by--another TWW of sorts--I'd rather be in your TWW than mine!


WTH--Congratulations on your BFP! So I'm guessing that bleeding episode on days 8 and 9 were implantation bleeding?? I'm so happy for you!!


mollycat--Huge Sorry about your rough day! Will you be going to visit your brother's new baby? That's a tough position to be in, especially with your EDD coming up Sending more big hugs your way, and some for O this weekend!


Easha--Hope you're up and feeling better today!


SaraJane-- Congrats on your BFP!!! They always seem to come in three's! Hope you're all settled in the new house--now you get to work on a nursery! Hope you get your internet soon, thanks for finding a way to share your great news with us! I'm so happy for you!!


Krystie--So you knew all about SJ's BFP??? You are good at keeping secrets, that would be a hard one not to share! Ooh, what do you think of my temp today? I'll listen to your "rambling" all day long as long as you're telling me there's a chance the test was wrong--that's exactly what I need to hear, thanks! Hope DH is still coming through with the goods for you!


joey--Glad to hear you're getting back to some sense of normalcy, a day without tears is a big accomplishment! Especially when you're dealing with 9 yr. olds with 17 yr old attitudes! Aah, and I see that the addiction is beginning.... lol, at least it's a healthy addiction! DF didn't mind that I brought the laptop since I put it away when the movie started, but it sure was tempting to log on during the movie--but, no, I was a good girl! And yes, we all enjoyed the movies!


smilanatu--Eww, a Monday morning after a 4 day weekend, you're going to be swamped! So did you get rid of a lot of junk at your rummage sale? I see O is just around the corner, bet you'll be keeping Lee busy this weekend!! Enjoy your BD fest!


Always thinking of our preggie friends: JMG, nickster, Trac, Magda, Katiegirl, ll80, Anthonysmom, mmteacher, seenabeena, Mel, Emmy-Lou, rainbowgirl, plc, AJC, and Canary! Hope you're all doing well, and growing nice, round bellies! jenushka, SaraJane, WTH, and _________ (you know who you are--still going to give you the honor of announcing it!) congrats again on your recent BFP's!!!

Big hugs to our other friends: tempus, bettyboop, tina, Jodsan, pbstar, tutmae, issy, Abbey, Acria, Megsmum, Van, Angel babies, mollycat, Krystie, smilanatu, joey, Easha, Toccara, Antheia, Cierasmummy, Leyza, Hussibug, LizJessie, Mazibelle, Natty, treelo, Sandygirl, and kittens. Whew, hope I didn't miss anyone!


AFM... Looks like I'll be busy unpacking from our camp trip--my house is a disaster area right now! There's only a trail going through my kitchen right now!

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew what happened with the 2 kids from QLD (I think?) Got an
e-mail regarding the tragedy, but it didn't say what happened, so was wondering if anyone had an idea?

Hope everyone has a great day!

[smilanatu]

SaraJane...WTH... Congratulations!!!

jen...eww...tell me about it AND I have poison oak all over my arms from cleaning out the mini forest in my backyard...I am telling you I should have just worked! LOL

This weekend is IT!!! Lee and I will be DVDing every morning and night this week and ALL weekend. We're gonna catch something if it's nothing more than sore parts...
