Trying to Conceive after Loss or Miscarriage ~ June 08 #3

angel babies- sorry about AF, keep your chin up and don't give up

tina- sounds like you had a fun weekend, ;) got my fingers crossed for you this month hun

jen- not sure if i'm in the tww yet, am not temping or anything anymore so i won't know for sure when i am. how's af behaving? hope she's not being too hard on you. also hope you've been enjoying some daiquiri's, you deserve it!

kl- not sure if i have o'ed yet, don't think i will know exactly when i do. the chinese herbalist i saw last week asked me to stop temping, stop doing everything basically. she says she is the boss now and for me to just relax, she'll do my worrying for me. so other than taking the herbs everyday i'm not really doing anything, and it's a great feeling to be honest.

ruthie- welcome and thanks for sharing your story, your son is such a miracle. not sure why anyone would call you selfish, seems very ignorant to me. everyone here is great so i'm sure you'll find some much needed support :hug:

big hello to everyone i've missed

Ruthie--First, big :hug: Thanks so much for sharing your story with us! I'm so very sorry to hear of your losses and your heartache :( I don't know how anyone could ever consider you selfish for wanting another child! Your son truly was a miracle! I'm :pray: you're blessed with another miracle very quickly! The women here are very supportive, I'm sure you'll feel right at home with here with us! :Goodluck2: with your testing on the 4th--:crossfingers: you get a sticky BFP! :pink-babydust:


pbstar--It's great to hear you sounding so relaxed this cycle! When your herbalist said she's the boss and to let her do the worrying, you really followed through--well done! I'm addicted to temping, so I'd be the one sneaking my temps in the morning, despite being told not to! :lol: I've never been very good at doing what I'm told! I wish the best for you with this cycle, go July! Oh, btw, no daquiri's, but did have a couple Mike's hard lemonade's! I'm about to go grab another! :)

Thank you girlies.... I'm writing absolutely everything down this cycle... it's very confusing cuz my cycle are much longer and ovulation and conception happen much later on.. (thats why I have always had a BFP after 6 weeks) I'm on CD40 today (my last cycle was 44 days so I'm assuming this one would be too) so in 4 more days I will be officially late. So far on and off symptoms not to great of a given cuz PG symptoms are almost like PMS..but here a a few..soar boobs since yesterday under the armpit???.. crazy but yes...umm.. Cm?. I feel like a slug..it's gross. Cervix so up high its hard to reach and its very soft... my lower back has been hurting since I ovulated..just hoping it's not "all in my head" other than that I feel nothing else..
Loads of baby dust to you girlies I hope I hear BFP news soon!!!

:hug:
Ruthie

Good morning Girls!!

As soon as DH left this morning, I rushed to BB (where else would I go??). I noticed on my email that there was a new entry, and I said to myself, I bet that's Jen. Of course it was! Who else would be up in the middle of the (our) night! Thanks for your thanks, and hugs. :hug:

Guess what?!? I'M ON HOLIDAYS. YAY :dance: I'm a school teacher, and this is the first of my 2 weeks off. DD is at her dads, DH is at work ... and I'm on holidays!! HOWEVER, I need to finish painting the carport so I don't have that looming over my head!

I woke up this morning and was about to change when watery CM just dripped out of me. Does this mean that I might be O soon? I was expecting it to be a little delayed seeing I mc only 2 weeks ago. Would I have that sort of CM if I wasn't about to O? Anyone know. And also, saying that I mc 2 weeks ago, that was when the bleeding started, but I stopped feeling preg 2.5 weeks ago, so could I have mc before the bleeding started? Also keeping in mind, that the day of the bleed my hCG was at 45, and the dr at the hospital said it should have been in the thousands???

Also, went to the pregnancy, babies and childrens expo yesterday. WHAT WAS I THINKING. How depressing!! Have there ever been more pregnant women/babies shoved into such a small environment before. Durrr :wall: Ended up only staying for about 10 minutes. DH was over it too. It was pretty crowded, and I didn't really see anything I hadn't seen before that I can't pick up at Target. I pretty much thought I was over my MC and thought, we'll be preg soon, so lets go. Didn't come home and bawl, but felt a bit flat afterwards. I really didn't think it would affect me. Oh well, live and learn!

Angel Babies - Sorry to hear the wicked witch has arrived. I'm glad that work is busy for you.

Tina - Glad to hear you had a great weekend away. Even more glad for you that it involved lots of BDing. I really hope this is the month for you. :goodluck2::pink-babydust::bluedust:

Jen - it's so nice to hear that I am not the only one who gets grumpy when the kids (or in my case kid) wakes up. I have most beautiful, well mannered, helpful daughter in the world (no bias here) but I am such a cow in the morning! I am fine, until she is up. I feel like such a b*tch. The poor darling thing. Lucky for her, she's at her dad's for a week, so she can have some peaceful mornings. And I have also explained to her that I am just a grumpy ol' fart in the mornings and it's not her fault, so the quicker we get ready and out the door the better. I hate it though. I'm not like that with DH in the mornings, just her. Grrrr to myself!

Breath, breath. Ok. Jen, I can't beleive we're up to 27 (ways to know that you're addicted to BB). Or maybe I should change that to I can't beleive we're only up to 27! Oh NO!! Just remembered something. You'll have to add this to your list.... I am cringing as I type this ... I had a dream last night I was reading BB!!! and there was a new entry, but I couldn't really understand what she was saying. Her spelling was so bad you couldn't understand some words and there were lots of words missing. I posted back to her anyway with a big :welcome:. But I can't beleive I dreamt I was checking the posts. Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!

THIS IS NOT GETTING MY PAINTING DONE!

Hang on - run out of smilies ...

part 2 ...



KL - You just answered my earlier question (when can you ovulate). When it gets below 5. :dance: How happy am I!! I will HAVE to get DH into bed tonight. Tie him up and use the paddle pop sticks and gaffa tape if I have to!!! How excitment!! That's the best news I've heard since I found out I was UTD! Thanks!!!:clap: That would explain why the dr told me that I could stop having blood tests now that I received two negative results in a row, even though the hCG was only at 2, and I thought negative would mean zero.
As far as the ultrasounds go. YES - I will definately be having them this time (and feel free to pry as much as you like, there's nothing I'm not happy to share with the girls :hug: ). You know how they say that things are harmless, and then you find out 20 years later that people are getting really really sick from that thing that they thought was harmless 20 years ago?? Well I was concerned that ultrasounds were like that. I have since changed my thinking, and also because of that pregnancy, I wonder if I had known earlier if perhaps we could have done something about it. I don't beat myself up about it though. It was so long ago, and I rarely get upset about it now. I know that if she (Jackie) had stayed with us, she would have had MANY problems, and she is in a better place now. It also means Billie (her earth sister) has someone to look after her. And apparently tell her the answers to her exams in class, she just got back an almost straight A report card!!!! So, yes I will have ultrasounds this time - LOTS to make sure everything is going to plan. I had actually made an appointment for the Friday following our MC to have one (too see the heart beat). So will try and have one asap to make sure everything is going ok this preg. KL, I just noticed the time of your post, 1:57am!!
Oh KL, your poor hips. My DH went off BDing just after we conceived (although we didn't know that at the time). He was feeling too much pressure (he can be a stress ball sometimes) and didn't want to do it. We had like TWO WEEKS off. Thank goodness I fell! But this time round I have told him that we could take up to 5 months to O, so I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping that he comes up with the goods when I proposition him! I'm hoping he doesn't suspect anything. As much as he wants a baby, he doesn't want to think about one when we're BDing. Understandable I suppose.

Toccara - I wish I could get onto BB from my phone - well may be not - I would probably spend a months worth of credit every day.

Ruthie - You poor thing. Don't you hate it when they tell you to stop stressing. Just scratch their eyes out next time. They'll get the idea! Ruthie, what a miracle story. I can't beleive you took him home 24hrs later. That is AMAZING! I can't beleive people are calling you selfish. If anything is going to make you see red ... !!!! I can't wait till 4 jUly for you. :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesgirl: Ruthie, I don't have a myspace. Sorry, is that similar to facebook? I'm on facebook. Are you? What about the rest of you?? Ruthie, do you use fertility friend? It's fee and it's really handy. Just google it, or click on my link at the bottom here and you can have a look around.

pbstar - good luck with your relaxing. It will be nice to have someone else in control for a while.

How do you PM someone?

Anyone else on facebook??

I can't beleive I have just spend a WHOLE HOUR reading last nights and this morning's posts and replying. WHO'S DOING MY PAINTING FOR ME??

Love you all. This place is awesome :hug:

xxx

Where is everyone? I posted a whole hour and a half ago! I have come in to have breakfast ... and ... nothing.

No I'm not addicted. Really.

:hug:

good morning ladies,

have a quick question...im confused about my chart...i got a +ve opk on Friday. I also started to see a temp rise on Friday, and then a further rise on Sat and Sun...do you usually get a rise so soon after +ve OPK? I haven't got a cover line yet on my chart...when does that come? aahhh...i dont know whats happening!!!:wall:

Hi Tina,

Not sure cause I haven't used OPK's. I know that you O and then I think the next day your temp goes up. So maybe you actually Oed on Thursday, but you would still be fertile on Friday. Hope this helps a little. Did you DTD on Thursday or Friday? :hug:

:bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust:

Good luck :goodluck::goodluck2::goodluck:

Panic Panic - Egg White Egg White!! :dance:

joey--:rofl: That's it--you're officially addicted!! Welcome to my world! :lol: Congrats on the EWCM--you should definitely take advantage of it!! Remember you're highly fertile after a m/c, so make sure DH gives his boys a pep talk (minus any talk of baby dancing, cos that tends to be a downer--literally! :lol:) and go jump his bones! :bd:



tina--I wish I could help you out, I was in your predicament a few weeks ago with it being my first month temping, and I was unsure as to when I would see those red lines... then it was just there! I don't use OPK's, so I'm not sure how they really work, but I would think if you got a + on Fri. and have had 3 days of higher temps, then I would guess that maybe tomorrow morning you should see your coverline? There's lots of girls that have been doing this for longer than I have, so maybe they can offer you some other advice as to what they think. :crossfingers: for a nice, high temp tomorrow!

hi Joey, i hope it wasnt thursday coz we didnt BD till friday...i dont think it was, as we got the +ve opk on friday, if i o'd on thursday, that wouldnt have been possible...its all so hard!
how lucky are you to be on holidays! im so jealous! so sorry to see that you had a hard time at the baby show..your brave to have gone,i dont think i could have handled it! but its good to see that you looked after yourself and left when you needed to...

oh! joey and Jen, we all posted at the same time!

joey: :cheer: for EWCM!!!

jen, thanks for yot advice, will have to just wait and see i guess....:2ww:

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!

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

3. You resort to becoming an adult film industry advocate in order to keep things alive during those fertile times!

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! :lol:

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"...) :rofl:

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

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! :excited:

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! :shhh:

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

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 it! :computer:

19. You climb a slide and drive up the tallest hills at your camp spot trying to find a signal so your laptop will work!

20. You bring your laptop to the drive-in with you so you can check on posts in between shows!

21. You check your chart at least every half hour, because what if somehow it changed?

22. You wake up at 2:30 in the morning to use the toilet, and contemplate logging on to see if there's any good news that can't wait until morning!

23. You wake up at 3 a.m. and have to pee so bad, but you know you'll wake up at 6, so you hold it for three more hours so that you don't ruin your temp!

24. You toss and turn every morning waiting for it to be time to take your temp!

25. When DH comments that he's your family, not the girls on BB! (What does he know, anyway? lol...)

26. You sign on from your mobile phone to let off some steam!

27. You post 3 times in a row, and twice was just because you ran out of smilies!!!

28. When you're reading and typing posts in your dreams!

Hi Tina - usually FF will give you a coverline on the third day of high temps so yours should pop up tomorrow. As for OPK - I gave up using them a long time ago, so not sure on that one. I just listen to my body now, I usually have good O pains so can pinpoint when due. Hoping your "little boys" did their work over the weekend. You have some time after O as well, so you're still in for a chance.

Jen - that list is getting so long, we'll have to open a separate thread for it. Got some great addictions though.

Joey - take advantage - maybe it will be your month too.

Are there any last minute BFP's for June? Bring on July - we want to see lots of BFP's

Ruthie - welcome, sorry you have to join us but the other girls are right, it's a great place to be, we're such a supportive bunch, thanks for sharing your story. Your son is a true miracle, and you're definately not selfish. Hoping for another miracle for your family soon :hug:

AFM - I think i'm like smilanatu - i broke DH over the weekend - I only have to look at him and he shakes his head and looks like he's going to run the other direction. At least I can say we put in our best effort and whatever will be - will be. Can't do any more than that. I think he was glad to go to work this morning.

:pink-babydust::bluedust::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgir l:

Talking about O pains. Can you give me an idea of where I should be feeling? Perhaps in relation to those hip/pelvis bones that stick out the front when you lie down, or to your belly button? I have a sharp pain every now and then, but it doesn't seem to line up with O, so I'm confused. They can also swap sides, so that can't be O pain. Thanks

:hug:

Hi Ladies,

I'm back and it has just taken about 40 mins to catch up on all the goss.... you have all put down 5 pgs in 3 days - well done.

Jen and Angel babies - sorry about AF - next month will be the month for you.

Ruthie - welcome - hope you time here is very short

WTH - I have the most beautiful pussy cat - Mishka - she's my baby girl.... I spoke with my vet in detail about toxoplasmosis and it is actually very, very rare and usually only effects cats that are outside cats - catching birds, mice etc etc (mishka is an inside cat). The vet gave me some information so I will see if I can find it for you. My vet advised to steer clear of the cats' no 2's (so DH gets the kitty tray job :D) and make sure you wash your hands after patting. I couldn't no cuddle Mishka throughout the duration of the pregnancy. Having said that the only test I did not have last time was toxoplasmosis so I actually got tested today in prep for my next pregnancy.

Tina K :pink-babydust::pink-babydust::pink-babydust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesgirl::sticky vibesboy::bluedust::bluedust:

Hope that's does it.

AFM - I should O this week, I will start OPK from Wed (I usually O day 17) and will start BDing from Wed - this time I WILL fall pgs, send so baby dust my way.

I am home today so will probably log on tonight.

Have a good day

Hi Everyone. Happy Monday...

Easha - Thanx for the info on Toxoplasmosis. My cat does spend all day outside, but being 17.5 years old she is pretty lethargic and doesn't bring home presents anymore (thank goodness). So I figure it would be pretty unlikely she would pass something on to me. I am pretty happy to get DH to do the mucky stuff though :D

Joey - I have only had O pains since my first loss last September. Had never experienced them before in my life. They are in the ovary area and not painful like AF. Congrats on your fertile EW - good luck catching the eggie

Mollycat - your DH has plenty of time to restup now after the marathon. The more BD the better... :crossfingers:

KrystieLove - My DH was exactly like your DH this cycle. We missed BD one day (before I knew when I had O'ed) so I made him make up for it twice the next day. "Big picture, big picture," I would say to him. He was so tired. But, like I said to Mollycat, he will have plenty of time to rest up soon enough.

Jen - your Addiction list is becoming an epic. I was thinking it would be fun to print it on a roll of toilet paper (seeing as I am frequenting that room a lot at present). That way I could read one point each visit. Would probably get through the whole list in a day... Of course, it is more worthy than toilet paper.

Tina - about OPK's - from what I've read, some people get an ovulation dip on the day of O, so the OPK would then go up on the Saturday and Sunday. Then you are after another temp rise again about 7-10 days later to indicate implantation. Hope it's a help.

Ruthie - :welcome: to the thread. There is also a PCOS thread where you may find additional support or information. Thank you for sharing your story with us. You will find a lot of kindness and understanding here.

Angelbabies - Sorry about AF. I hope you have a lovely, cruisy week at work and your three lovely men shower you with lots of wintery cuddles and hot chocolates :hug:

Jenushka - I'm doing ok. My symptoms are a tad inconsistent. Still lethargic and light-headed. Now frequenting the loo. But my boobs aren't really sore anymore. I did a BT last Wednesday and my HCG had gone from 110 on Monday to 269. Happy with that start. Now having another test tomorrow (including Progesterone). A little nervous. Seriously can't wait for the MS!

PLC - hey, you've passed a very special milestone. :happyforyou:

PBStar - Hi there. Good to see you are still about. Good luck with TTC when you feel good and ready - your Chinese herbalist sounds very confident and encouraging.

AFM - going ok. Am now 5 weeks. Am feeling a bit paranoid, despite my resolution to be happy this PG!

:bluedust: :pink-babydust:

[QUOTE=joey123;1314119]part 2 ...


About them people..yeah sometimes I feel like hitting someone ..LOL
telling me not to stress.. OF COURSE I HAVE TO STRESS I CAN'T CONCEIVE ON MY OWN!!.. :(
Anywho...LOL Yeah I have facebook.. I'm Ruth E Montan find me in the search thingy they have.

About my preemie....yeah it was a real surprise to see my doc come to my room with this TINY baby in his arms..my baby!!.. He was breathing on his own (remember how I mentioned the steroids my doc put me in to mature his lungs on week 28?) Well it sure worked!!.. He was tiny though and I had to feed him this yucky milk that looked more like goop..it was pure fat to make him gain weight. It smelled really gross. My poor baby...but he gained weight very fast!! I am the happiest mommy.

I'm watching my body closely but I know..I have been pregnant 3 times..but to tell you the truth 2 were miscarriages and all I remember feeling was the extreme pain..and with my 1st..well he was my 1st and I didn't know the things I know now ..so I don;t even know what I felt with him...and as a matter of fact besides the complications I had ..I had no morning sickness or nothing at all. It was really cool.

So I'm asking you mommas...what things did you guys feel that totally gave that you were expecting?...
I keep telling myself "it's all in your head" to save me the heartache if I get a BFN...but heck... lower back not cramps but like I dunno this annoying on and off light pain?

boobs hurt under armpit?...

...I can't wait till Friday.. I am going to test. Am so nervous too...LOL (I always do)

Thank you for your baby dust I SURE need it!!!

Baby dust to you girlies too... I can't wait to hear from you girls!!
hugs,
Ruthie

I really hope you get a BFP soon you deserve it ...Oh and I pay 20 dollars a month for unlimited Internet and text message on my cell so I can log onto BB from my cell all day long lol ...

Ruthie~ Sorry to hear about your loss I hope you get that BFP you are hoping for!!! Welcome you will find the girl's here to be really nice ...

Angel Babies~ sorry about AF good luck this cycle!!!

Tina k ~ Ton's of :bluedust: :bluedust: for you !!!

Jen~ Yes this journey is very draining and hard I wanna be there for my friend who is having the baby but seeing all that baby stuff may be to hard right now I'm trying to be strong but I never really took any time off or time to grieve really I only stayed out of work for two days and I my family has no Idea what I'm going through they don't have any ttc problems but I have you girls so its helps me soooooo much !!! I don't know what I would do if I had not found BB ... lol and yes I'm getting addicted logging in from my cell phone lol !!!

KrystieLove~ yes I'm addicted ... lol

Ok whats going on my ticker said I O'ed last Monday but I'm just now seeing CM I am so lost right now and I'm having lower back pain ... other than the stuff that happen @ work today (see the personal to joey for info) I had a better day then yesterday I listened to my DH tell me how much he loves me and how we will have babies one day and be one big happy family btw I been hanging with his mom lately since he works midnights now and we are really bonding ... OK 12:36am here off to bed I go ... love you girlie's !!! :stickyvibesgirl: :bluedust:

Ruthie - Your son's story is amazing. He is one strong little boy!
Now why of earth would people think that wanting a second baby is selfish?! I can't believe that someone would even say something like that to a woman. Grrrr.
I'm also hoping for a little girl, but would love a little boy too if that's what I am blessed with :)

Jen - I'm still a granny, but this granny has to work on a sunday night until after midnight!!! And of course by the time I get home (it's an hour drive) I'm not sleepy so I have to BellyBelly for a little while, hehe.
We've tried the "video" option, but I ended up just laughing at the dialogue in the movie :ROFL: BUT, I think that handcuffs might be a good idea!!!

pbstar - Sounds like you've been given some time off from worrying and stressing! I'm glad you are liking your herbalist and that the herbs haven't killed you yet! LOL. I kept telling my acupuncturist that I was sure she was secretly trying to kill me with the herbs :D
I'd be like Jen and be sneaking in temp checks in the mornings, hehe. I'm a terrible patient!

Joey - Yay for holidays! We have my 2 DSS's this first week. I took them to the melb meet-up earlier today, and they have taekwondo tonight, and tomorrow we're taking them to the museum because there's a dinosaur exibition thing there :)
Watery CM is generally a good sign that you are going to ovulate soon. And now you've got EGCM! I'm not sure if my CM is usually a great indicator though. Well, sometimes it is, but this month things are all over the shop for me! Start BD'ing now missy just in case!
Sorry to hear about your experience at the expo :( I'm hoping I'll be pregnant before it comes to melbourne.
I can totally understand your previous worry with ultrasounds. It's hard to totally trust something until they have been proven safe. Have they done that yet or is it assumed safe? I guess we'd probably know by now if ultrasounds were doing something really bad. Well, I hope so anyway. I'm glad you don't beat yourself up about not having the ultrasound last time. I watched a show recently about twin to twin transfusion, and in 2 of the 3 cases they couldn't medically do anything to change things. In the 3rd they were able to do some new fancy in-utero surgery, but back when you were pregnant with your girls that wouldn't have been around. I'm 100% sure that the blame is not on you honey. Sounds like you always have your babies best interests at heart!!! :D

Tina - I think with OPK's that you can get two lines for a few days, but a positive is classed as only a test where the test line is darker than the control line. How dark was your test line in comparison to the control? Once you've had the LH surge which the OPK tests for I think you ovulate straight away and then your temperature starts to rise over the next 3-4 days. FF will usually give you your cover line after 3 good days of temp rises. Looking at your chart I would guess that FF will give you lines tomorrow!

Mollycat - Our poor DH's! Lol. I never would have thought us girls could wear out the males!!!

Easha - I love your positivity!!! We are ALL going to get BFP's this month!!!

WTH - 5 weeks! Yay!

Toccara - The conversation with you DH sounds really sweet! :hug: How nice of him to say that stuff to you. It really helps keep the positivity to hear things like that doesn't it?!

Easha: thanks for all the baby dust hon :D sending some back your way too! say it with me..."this months our month!"
toccara: thanks for the baby dust too! I hope that you have caught the eggie at the right time...sorry to hear you are having issues at work...it sucks when you dont get on with the people you work with...
WTH: 5 weeks, thats great, hope your staying healthy and strong...thanks for your advice re the OPKs too...guess ill have to just wait and see...
ruthie: you look lovely in your pic...sorry you have had so many people in your life who dont understand...
mollycat: wow! your poor DH! hope it worked ;);)

Hi Ladies,

Soooo sorry I havent been around, things have been a little hectic lately!

WTH, Betty, Jenushka and Karen - :dance::cheer::excited: so so so so happy to hear that all of you got BFP's this month - thats the best news I have had all week!!!!! Well done ladies and Im praying for a healthy and happy pg'cy for all of you.

WTH - Bummer you didnt get my PM, Im going to try again - and thankyou so much for thinking of me, you are so sweet. I will write more in PM :hug:

Pbstar and Jen - thanks for thinking of my whilst I was MIA! Im back!!!!!!!

Welcome to all the newbies - sorry for the circumstances that brought you here, but you couldnt have found a better place for support - these ladies have been my angels this year, and I dont know how I got through the other 2 (years of ttc that is :rolleyes:) without them!

Sorry everyone, but I cant possibly catch up on everyones posts and write persies, but I will continue from here and try my best to catch up with my chatterbox ttc friends - I love it!

AFM - I dont know what the hell is going on?????? For the past week I have had EXTREMEMLY SORE BB's....and Im only on CD14 or 15 (not sure till I post!). I shouldnt have even ovulated yet! I think I may have ovulated WAYYYY too early, which is weird cause I thought after the chem pg last cycle that it would put me out for a bit. I figure that if my bb's are this sore, I may have ov about a week ago? WTF?????? They are honestly sooooo sore. Usually I know when I have ov cause I get this 1 sore spot in my left breast which gradually increases as the days go by in the TWW. But this time, they went from a little tender 1 day to full blown PAIN the next and have continued. I think I may get AF early as well :rolleyes:
Honestly....if I didnt get a full on AF last cycle (accompanied by dissapearing pain in bb's and temp drop) I would swear I was still pg. Im soooo tired and have been for ages now and I occassionally feel nauseous throughout the day. Ofcourse i am definatley NOT pg, but my body is def doing weird things! My opp with FS is in a couple of weeks so im hoping we can work out whats going on and work out a way to GET ME UTD :lol:

Anyway ladies, that was my rant, so Ill be reading your posts carefully from now on and Ill be doing persies as well - gotta keep up with you all!

:hug: to all of you,

Issy

hey issy! welcome back

sounds like you are pregnant- have you done another test just to make sure? definitely sounds like you still have hcg in your system...

anyway just wanted to say welcome back, we missed you :hug:

hello ladies! i've got so much to catch up on...

:hug:ruthie, welcome! thanks for sharing your amazing story with us! hope your ttc journey is short & sweet!

jen: sorry about af... i was so expecting a bfp from you after that 'implantation' dip - how can you have an implantation dip & not have a bfp??!?! is that possible? are you sure its really af??? i mean are you really really sure? im still hoping...

toccara: sorry af not treating you well.. - or for showing up at all! hope she goes away quick smart... try to 'push' her out! i think it works!

issy: please be pg symptoms!!

krystielove: how was the meet? i just read about it just now, & wouldnt have been able to make it anyway due to work... perhaps next time! would love to meet everyone here!

wth: :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

tina: :bd::bd::bd:!!!

everyone else i missed: HELLO!

afm: af gone.. the shortest af i've ever had! i think all that pushing did the trick. went to the herbalist last week, forgot when - i think friday? first time i drank chinese herbal medicine *shudder* horrible... getting used to it though! the chinese herbalist diagnosed me as having weak kidneys & spleen, & my lungs are cold. so hopefully these foul tasting concoctions pay off & get me a bfp for july! that'll make it all worth it!

:pink-babydust::bluedust:

Hi pbstar sooooo good to hear from you, how are you going....I hope your'e bding lots and lots...gotta catch that eggie, im :pray: this cycle ends in a BFP for you hun, you deserve it! AFM - I just dont know whats going on, just after I posted I went to the loo and when I wiped I had very very light pick discharge?????? (no blood, just seemed like pink tinged water) The same as when I was 6 weeks pg with ds. I am sooooo sure im not pg, but I just dont get whats going on! Maybe I should do another test, but im postive it will be negative, cause all my pg symptoms stopped when I m/c. They just seemed to have started up again 2 weeks later though which is weird. Whats got me most confused is why I would have ov so early and why my bb's hurt so much so soon after the m/c. Ill have to keep you posted on this one, im sure it will all work itself out, I know after m/c your body can do weird things, but cause it was so early (only 4.5 weeks) I was thinking that my body would just get straight back on track cause really it was just like a slightly late AF?????

Who knows, Im definatley a weird one :rolleyes:!

Thankyou for the welcome back, im soooo glad to be back. Let me know how your'e going hun....im so glad we are cycle buddies....even in my cycle is playing dirty tricks on me :(

Issy

issy and van: welcome back! havent heard (read!!!) from you for ages! good to hear your both well...

van: good to see that AF was mild..hope the herbs are worth it in the end!

issy: its soooo frustrating when your body just does things and we have no idea whats going on! hope it all accumulates in a great big BFP at the end :)

hello everyone else, especially all you lovely preggers girls!!!!

Welcome back Easha. This is for you :pink-babydust::bluedust:

WTH - Keep going strong. Your bloods look good. :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

Ruthie - I have just messaged you on face book. Let me know if you don't get it - that will mean I have messaged the wrong person.

Toccara - That sucks. We aren't allowed to smoke at any clubs, pubs, or casinos over here. Maybe you should move to Aus and join us?? You go girl, if someone does the wrong thing by you - do what you have to! I doubt you'll find many smokers in this thread! That unlimited text and internet on your cell sounds awesome. I will have to resist though or I will never do anything else and I will become a BB hermit :lol: Maybe you just had a weird cycle and you are Oing now??

KL - I think they have pretty much prooven that ultrasounds are safe. They recon it's just noise anyway, so how could that be harmful??? Who knows. Thanks for the infor on Twin to Twin transfusion. I didn't know that. Didn't feel bad before, but strangely feel even better now. :hug:

Issy - Welcome back. I hope your bb's aren't causing you too much discomfort and I hope you are feeling on top of the world soon. Maybe you MCed and then Oed and now your UTD again??

Vanaithi - pushing it is then when/if (hopefully not) AF comes. Seems you've proven pushing works!!

AFM - Had a FULL day of painting (other than my breakfast/BB break and my lunch/BB break). Ready for a nice dinner soon followed by some:bd:. But the footy is on and so is the tennis. I'm not sure of the times, so I hope I can squeeze a bit in there somewhere. Remember, we don't want him suspecting anything:lol:. Really hoping that tonights the night and this one STICKS!! I'll keep you posted.

Hugs to everyone!!

Brisbane meet up soon. Anyone interested??

hi ruthie and welcome , you have come to a great place for support.

hey issy

yep we have been dancing, but for some reason i am really relaxed about everything now. went to see lily liu last week for herbs and she was so wonderful. there were heaps of good things i got out of it but the main thing is that she is going to do all my worrying and planning for me so i don't have to anymore. she has put us on a sex schedule but its basically every second day for the fertile week (nothing special that we don't already know about) we're about halfway through now and it has been the first sort of fertile time since january that i haven't been worrying about any of it- no temping, no stressing about bd'ing etc. i feel like it won't happen this month but i sort of feel like it will happen sometime in the next few months, and until then i am just concentrating on being healthy with diet and exercise, and just being happy with DH. it is really good with us at the moment, we are sort of like lovesick teenagers again (sorry if this is waaayy too mushy!) but we are really enjoying being together and not just waiting for a baby like it was starting to be like before a bit.

anyway i have totally waffled on about myself- am just in a really good, happy head space and i have felt really inspired and positive since i saw lily last week.

am really keen for you to do another test just to see, but of course its up to you. i really hope the fs can give you some answers soon. :hug:

will be back to catch up with everyone tomorrow.

xo

Issy - have you done any BDing over the past few weeks?? Maybe you hacve concieved on a lunar cycle. ie the moon was in the same position as when you were born?? Apparently this causes spontaneous Ov despite it not being due. :dunno::dunno:
:crossfingers: you are UTD

Keep us up to date

pbstar - its so good to hear you being so positive...thats a huge part of being successful in my opinion. Sometimes the pressure of ttc can really get us all down and its so good to hear that your'e just relaxing and taking everything as it comes....no pressure, but I have a good feeling that your BFP is just around the corner ;) I hope the natural therapy works for you hun :pray:

Easha - Yes, according to my lunar cycle, I would have ov on the 22nd June, which would perfectly explain the sore bb's now. But I thought since I had a chem pg last cycle, that it would put me out of whack (mentrual and lunar cycle not in sync with eachother). I m/c not long before the 22nd of June, so I didnt expect that I would have ov so soon. But im pretty sure my sore bb's are a tell tale sign. Who knows hey? I guess only time will tell, and sort it out too.

Joey - Hi, I wish i was UTD, but doubtful since I only m/c under 2 weeks ago. Would be nice though....scary...but nice! Again, time will tell I guess, I just have to be patient and ride out the bumps....and there are a few of them :rolleyes:

Well all, thats it for me tonight...:pink-babydust::pink-babydust: and :hug: to all.

Issy

Just a quick message to Issy - Any chance you might have miscarried a twin? I don't know how it works, but I'm sure I've heard of people that have had that happen where one twin miscarries and the other is fine... Maybe another pg test to put you mind at rest might be a good idea?

Need to go and try to get DH in the mood for some BD. I think it's going to be hard work tonight, and I hate being the instigator, lol tmi!!!

Hi krystielove - I dont know how that all works either I have to admit. But it does seem strange that my bb's stopped hurting for a week then started again???? Im almost 100% positive that I just ov early and now im about 10 away from next af, thats usually how long i have the sore bb's before af arrives. I hope she doesnt turn up though :pray:

GL with the BD fest - go catch that eggie girl :D Im sure you can get DH in the mood - try Jen's adivce....;);) nudge nudge!!!!

I think I might test just to make sure there is no hcg left in my system and to put my mind at rest...

BTW - If anyone is interested, i finally figured out how to upload photos in the member gallery, so you can check them out there if you like....my precious ds is on there too.

Issy

Just a quick good morning ladies! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend...this is a short week...THANK GOODNESS!!!

Welcome to the new gurlies...hope your stay is short and sweet!

:goodluck2:

:pink-babydust::bluedust:
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

Krystie--:rofl: re: dialogue in videos! I thought I was the only one that thought that--isn't it funny how fake they make it all sound--it just sounds like they're reading it off a script! Anyhow, that's why you keep the volume down--it's the visual that you need, the words don't even count! In fact, you could just fast forward through all that BS and get right to the good stuff! Or better yet, find one that begins with the good stuff! :rofl: There are some free internet sites, you know... and I'm sure the handcuffs will still come in handy! :cool:
Ooh, it's just barely after midnight there, does that mean I'll actually get to "talk" to you this a.m. instead of just reading your posts later? Unless it's the weekend, I don't usually get your posts until the morning (for me) after you've typed it. :lol: at not wanting to instigate the BD'ing--I swear, it's like we're twins, we're so much alike!
Hope you enjoyed the Melb. meet-up, what did your DSS's think about it all?


mollycat--Ooh, I see a nice coverline on your chart that wasn't there last time I looked! Poor, broken DH--what a trooper! Most men are either complaining that they're not getting it enough, while our men complain they're getting it too much--who woulda thunk it? lol...


joey--I never really noticed any type of O pain until after my m/c when I was looking for it! In my case it tends to be on the left (though I've heard it can alternate sides) and is like a pinching or stabbing sharp pain (not painful-sharp, just sharp) in my left ovary. It's nothing like AF pains! Fingers are crossed you found some time to work in the BD'ing!!


Easha--Serving you a nice helping of :bluedust: per your request! Good luck with O this week. Sounds great that you're so positive this will be the month! Let's say it together: you will get pg this month!


WTH--Forget the toilet paper--you just need a laptop to keep in your bathroom! I have a laptop, but I must say even I'm not so addicted that I would take it into the loo with me! It is a good idea, though, isn't it? lol... you never know, that just may end up on the addicted list one of these days!


Ruthie--Your symptoms sound really promising! I'm crossing my fingers that you get a BFP on Friday!! I've done lots of research on early pg'cy symptoms--only problem is I seem to get most of the same symptoms due to AF, so it's really hard to determine the difference! Like you I have a hard time remembering how it was with my DS's because it just happened--and no m/s with either of them, so if I get m/s with my next pg'cy, it will be a shocker to my system!


Toccara--I'm sure your friend will understand your need to keep some distance right now! I've had plenty of time to grieve, and I still don't think I could handle it! Sending lots of :hug:


issy--Oh, you and jenushka could be twins you look so much alike! You and DH sure do make beautiful babies--your DS's eyes are beautiful! I'm so glad everyone's uploading photos lately, it's so nice to have a face that goes along with the name! My only complaint is that everyone else looks so good in their pics, it's making me look plain and frumpy! lol...
You are having a strange cycle, aren't you? I agree, you should just test and see... :pray: it's good news!


Van--Glad to hear AF has left the building. Must have been all that pushing that made her leave so quick--think I'll give that one a try! Hey, better to be cold-lunged than cold-hearted! lol... Praying your herbs do the trick!


bettyboop--How's it going my pregger friend? :stickyvibesgirl:


Hey smilanatu--Grrr, it's Monday! Like you said, at least it's a short week. Got any plans for the 4th? How's poor, broken, Lee doing today? Did he survive the BDful weekend? lol...

Sorry if I might write a bit later I'm in New Jersey USA and I dunno what the time differences might be for each one of you..:dunno:

Thank you all for your sweet words. I see many of you are charting.. that didn;t work for me as one my cycles are too irregular due to the PCOs and they are super long ranging from 38 days - 150+
So charting never has worked for me. :( I wish all of you LOADS of ***baby dust****
I hope I hear BFP news ASAP!! I will rejoice with you. It's really amazing to find women who understand what I go through and ..sometimes I think am I losing my mind?.. I check so much stuff to TTC..then so many have unprotected sex only once and BAM preggo!!..It's like a roller coaster of emotions. But I'm strong and a baby is worth all my hard work!!

Tocarra- thank you so much. People might think that once I get a BFP that will be it..no way that's just the beginning of my worries cuz my 2 last m/c were one year apart but one after the other. So my chances of that happening again are pretty high and it's scary !:(

KrystieLove-Thank you.. I pray for a little girl too.. I get all sappy when I go to a store and see the cutest princess dresses!!.. I can't wait to have a little girl!! Good luck momma!!:goodluck2:
Yeah I couldn't believe I was called selfish for wanting more kids.. its easy for the person who said it cuz she has 4 and gets pregnant so easy..she is preggo with her 5th.
She has never had a miscarriage either. What would she know? (She is my cousin)

TinaK- Thank you. I'm trying to figure out how to post pics here so you guys can see some pics of my preemie and him now... I dunno how to do it?..Can you tell me how?. (I'm very new here)
again thank you momma.. I feel so great to have met you guys!

Vanaithy- Thank you girly!! oh I hope it ends soon!!..LOL
I have a few symptoms but it could also be PMS whish has always confused me. in 3 more days I will be officially late... I will test this Friday.. in hopes I get a BFP!!.. (I was on fertility meds this month and am very hopeful they worked) Those meds are the same ones I conceive all my prev. pregnancies. But even if I'm hopeful I'm so scared to be heartbroken by a BFN... uugghhhh:rolleyes:
The only thing is as soon as I see a hint of a BFP I literally have to run to a hospital to get the progesterone shot immediately so I don;t miscarry again. So I just want to catch my next pregnancy on time to save my baby!!

baby dust donations very appreciated!!..:D Am so nervous to test already...:heartbeat:

Sending loads of :pink-babydust: I hope we all get our miracle babies ASAP!!

hugs,
Ruthie

Thank you BettyBoop!!!
I'm so excited to get to know all of you!! I hope and pray we all get our miracle babies soon!!

Good luck momma!!!

Hi Ruthie--Glad to see another US gal, there's not too many of us here! It's pretty confusing with the time difference... Aussie time is 15-17 hours ahead of ours (just depends on where they're located), so I spend most of my day waiting for my Aussie mates to wake up! Regarding the pics... ok, I just figured it out the other day, so I'm not sure I'll be very good at explaining how to do it! I think you can just go up to Gallery at top of page, and then you should just be able to click on upload--sorry, I wish I could say for sure, but if I try it now, I'll lose my post! You can also look up pics by screen name in case you're looking for someone inparticular. Hope that helps, would love to see some pics of your miracle! :bluedust: :pink-babydust:

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!

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

3. You resort to becoming an adult film industry advocate in order to keep things alive during those fertile times!

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! :lol:

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"...) :rofl:

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

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! :excited:

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! :shhh:

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

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 it! :computer:

19. You climb a slide and drive up the tallest hills at your camp spot trying to find a signal so your laptop will work!

20. You bring your laptop to the drive-in with you so you can check on posts in between shows!

21. You check your chart at least every half hour, because what if somehow it changed?

22. You wake up at 2:30 in the morning to use the toilet, and contemplate logging on to see if there's any good news that can't wait until morning!

23. You wake up at 3 a.m. and have to pee so bad, but you know you'll wake up at 6, so you hold it for three more hours so that you don't ruin your temp!

24. You toss and turn every morning waiting for it to be time to take your temp!

25. When DH comments that he's your family, not the girls on BB! (What does he know, anyway? lol...)

26. You sign on from your mobile phone to let off some steam!

27. You post 3 times in a row, and twice was just because you ran out of smilies!!!

28. When you're reading and typing posts in your dreams!

29. When sitting on the couch watching TV, you position yourself so that you can see the computer screen so you know as soon as a message pops up! Not only that, but you end up watching the computer screen more than the TV!




OMG, girls, DF pointed out that I made up most of these (15)!! How the heck did he know???
