lj - hope u get well soon sweet - u must be so wrecked!
jen - honey - i LOVE ur big fat red line - go u good thing!! u know, i was quite interested to see that ur temps were in celsius and not fahrenheit, which i thought was the go in the states. thanks for mentioning my milestone - did you mean 8 weeks? i didn't even realise it myself - just been so focussed on how many days to next ob appt (2) and how many days to next scan (16).
jodsan - i'm so sorry for not keeping up but why was it that u thought it was to do with ur lh that implantation didn't occur? r u sure that fertilisation occurred? it seems really odd that with a level of under 1 that that would affect anything. Sorry again for asking the questions but i am really interested.
pbstar - hey honey - hope ur doin ok.
sandygirl - oh boo that whole "bridesmaid being due the same day as you would have been" thing. i feel for you cos that has got to be rough. when is the wedding?
krystielove - i truly hope you get better really quickly. there seems to be a lot of stuff going around the western suburbs - my little gang seems to be getting one thing after another. take care of urself sweet!

smilanatu - hoping u have some good news for us!!
hello to toccara, vanaithi, bday buddy, katiegirl (belly rubs!!), mmteacher (all the best sweet - gL!!) and anyone else i have missed!!

Hello ladies,
I am just popping in to let you know that i am lurking and keeping up with your news.
Jen, you had me ROFL with your post about signs of addictoin to BB!! Yep, I can tick lots of those boxes!

I would like to spread lots of ***BABY DUST*** to everyone. I hope to see some more BFP's really soon.

GOOD LUCK!

Hi there

About to start my first IVF cycle tomorrow. So scared do not know what to expect. A lot of emotion and memories of the first 2 losses. I just hope that I can survive without another loss. I not sure if I could recover.

None of my firends have been through this...I fell alone.

[~ Mylitta ~]

AJC - All your pregnancy symptoms are sounding great! When is your next scan? It's soon isn't it? As of today you've passed my "milestone" of 8w1d so I'm breathing a nice sigh of relief for you. I know we all have our own milestones, but I think the 8w1d will always make me nervous.

Kitten - I'm so very sorry to hear about your losses. It's such a terrible thing to go through. Unfortunately we are all in this thread because we have been through something similar, so take comfort in knowing that these wonderful ladies understand how you are feeling. The ladies in here are wonderfully supportive I wish you all the luck with your first IVF cycle, and hopefully it will be your last!

[Vanaithi]

AJC: very happy to hear from you & that all is well keep dropping in to give us some baby luck! sure need a lot of that here!

kitten: sorry about your loss - you wont feel lonely here, the whole place is filled with everyone who understands what you've been through. be positive & good luck with your IVF

[Easha]

Hi All,

was hanging out in the TWW however AF arrived today

There are so many people around me falling pregnant without even really trying.

I dont really know who to talk too, my DH is trying to be supportive but is just saying we'll try again next month. Friends keep trying to reassure me it will happen with time.

It's so hard to explain to them how this feels unless you have been through it - very down at the moment.

Sorry this is all about me - I hope you have better luck

[plc1805]

Easha and kittens - welcome ladies - so terribly sorry for your losses - we are all here for you.
smilanatu - oh hun i know about wanting to be pg before m/c due dates. My due dates for both m/cs had long since passed before i got pg. You just gotta believe ul get thru ur date if ur not pg and keep believing that it WILL happen for you sweet when it is meant to. Big hugs for you - lunar age buddy!!!!
krystielove - hey hun i love your list - very very clever!! Yeah I am from the west - near Sydenham. But like you i was also originally from the southeast and met my DH and moved to his house in the west. Never thought i would do that - that's what mushy love does to you! Sometimes I think I really am a southeast chick at heart but the west is certainly not as bad as i had pinned it for.

hey everyone else - hope ur all ok. sorry for the lack of rest of personals - ur all in my thoughts and prayers. went to ob yesterday hoping i could get a hb check to get me thru the next 2 weeks before the scan. ob said that he hasn't found a hb at 10 weeks to date but tried anyway. No hb but I am trying not to let it stress me. Gotta believe it will be ok.

[kittens]

thank you for your lovely comments. I'm not sure what the protocol is for newbies....I would just love to drop in from time to time and share and hear some stories. Most of my friends have babies by accident and those that do not are not planning or wanting to expand their families.

Each time I was pregnant coincided with a friend's pregnancy...needless to say one has a beautiful girl who just turned two and one is 10 months. These girls are so sweet and I am god mother to them both. I can't help but wonder what it might have been like if I become a mother.

The only other person I know who has experienced a loss is my sister in law but she lives in america and I do not get to correspond with her much. Her dream came true after 10 years of marriage, her little boy came very early and was with her for 2 hours before passing on, 2 weeks before mother day

Anyway....i'm going to take things one day at a time and not look beyond.

hugs

You know you're addicted to BB when:

1. You sign a 2-year contract and pay $60 more per month just to have wireless internet service for a 5 day camping trip! lol...

2. Your significant other walks in on you checking the position of your cervix, and actually gets turned on from it!

3. You resort to becoming an adult film industry advocate!

4. You read, post, and then refresh to read again in case you missed a post while posting!

5. You dream of being the first to post in the new thread!

6. You feel like you are wasting urine when you don't pee on a stick!

7. You see abbreviations in everyday life and try to work out what they mean in the TTC world (eg. DVD must stand for something like "Doing the vjay vjay dance"...)

8. When you get excited about choosing a new ticker....oh the choices!!!!!

9. You actually think in emoticons and abbreviations...and occasionally call your husband DH....and he says, "what the hell did you call me????".

10. And the biggest one of all....DH actually asks if it was a light or dark "BFP" (not positive test) and whether or not you used "FMU" to test!!!! (all in abbreviations...)

11. When getting a coverline makes you so happy, you feel as though you won the lottery!

12. When you look forward to going to bed just so you can wake up in the morning and add a new temp!

13. You say you are taking a break from bb and then spend 24 hours trying to do anything but log on, including cleaning, washing, ironing, shopping, all the while saying to yourself don't do it don't do it don't do it before finally breaking down and getting your bb fix...

14. You drag yourself out of bed at 6 am every morning even though you're still tired, just to have "quiet alone time" on BB while the kids are still sleeping!

15. You get the butterflies while logging on to read posts!

16. You keep your computer on all day long so you know as soon as someone has made a post!

17. You know you are addicted to BB when you go to put the date on something and you end up writing 9 DPO!

18. You're whole day is ruined just because you can't log onto BB, and you feel like you're going to go insane without your BB fix!



Looking great so far! Let me know if you think of any and I'll add them to the list! Still hoping this is ok with the mods!

Hello my name is Rachel and I am addicted to BB.



Very very true Jen - spoken like a true bb addict!

[jen805]

Good morning girls! Updated the addicted list, let me know if anyone thinks of anything else!


WTH--How's it going with the temp shift? Thanks for the great info on implantation, it sure helps feed the mind! I had a small temp drop yesterday, then this am it actually went below the coverline. I'm just not sure how accurate it is--felt like I was going to pop around 2:15, so had to get up and use the restroom, I figured I'd still get a fairly accurate temp if I went back to sleep until 6. But I woke up at 5:30 and tossed and turned until 6 when I took my temp. Not sure now if drop was due to that or not, would rather think it's due to implantation, but I guess I'll have to see what my temp does tomorrow. :goodluck2: hope to see a nice temp drop for you!


mollycat--Sounds like you had a rough day with the kids the other day! That's all common daily behavior in my house--and my kids aren't even 2!!! So glad to hear that AF has been kind this time around, and your headaches aren't that bad. Hope the tamoxifen continues to treat you kindly, as well! Are you almost ready for your cyber camping holiday? I've heard that I'll probably have to drive around to find a spot with service-- guess I'll have to add that to the addicted list when I get back: You know you're addicted to BB when you drive around the campgrounds with your laptop open trying to find service so you can send your posts! Hopefully it will be surprisingly easy and I'll be at the one camp spot that gets service--yeah right, but I can hope can't I?


Krystie--Wow, that's a great list, must've been very time consuming! Hope you're continuing to feel better! Did you notice my temp drop? Just confused because with implantation isn't there only 1 day of decreased temp. then it goes back up? Would my last 2 temps both be considered as drops, or just the one that went below the coverline?


Vanaithi--How's those symptoms coming along? those funny feelings you were feeling are due to implantation! for us both!!


bettyboop--Temps look nice! Congrats on O, and everything's double crossed for you that you caught that egg!


Canary--Thanks for popping in and checking on us! Glad you like the addicted list, let me know if you can think of any to add to it! Hope you're enjoying the PAML thread, and getting a nice, fat tummy!


Hi smilanatu! Fingers are crossed you'll get a nice BFP before July 25! Did you do anything exciting on Father's day?


AJC--A couple more days and you'll be past that milestone! Glad to hear things are progressing so well with your pg'cy!!


kittens--Welcome and big So sad to hear of your losses, but hope you find the support you're seeking here with us! Praying your TTC journey is short and sweet, and you're blessed with a sticky BFP very quickly!


Easha--Sorry again to hear about AF, she's such a witch! Good luck again for this cycle!


plc--What a bummer that they couldn't find that little I'm sure all is fine--is it 11 or 12 weeks that they can normally hear it? Could you possibly request a vaginal u/s, I bet they could find it that way, it's a little invasive, but well worth it! So are you outgrowing any clothes yet, or are you one of those lucky ones that barely puts on any weight in the beginning?


Hope everyone else is happy and well! Thinking of you all always! I'll have to be on here twice as much today since I was robbed yesterday! lol.... can't believe I only posted once all day yesterday, had some serious withdrawals! Oh, had some spotting this am after BD'ing--but don't know if it's due to implantation or just simply from dtd, though it doesn't usually happen, so would like to think it's from implantation! Fingers are crossed--now I just wish this day would hurry up and be over so I can take tomorrow's temp! I really am addicted! Will be back later...


Oh, we posted at the same time-- rach! We're all addicts here, so you'll fit right in!

[smilanatu]

Morning ladies!

plc...thanks for the much needed hug!

kittens & Easha...welcome...so very sorry for your losses...may your stay be short!

Thank goodness jen got her BB fix! I sure hope it's implantation time for you gurlie!!!
