T.Y- I hope AF shows up soon so you can start trying again ASAP! I was in the same boat last month. Mine came about 4.5 weeks after my m/c but I was feeling symptoms for a few days beforehand. I'll cross my fingers for you that it comes well before your trip. Doesn't it always manage to show up at the worst times?? Praying that you have a safe and fun trip no matter what =)
Jen- Don't you hate it when people complain about their pregnancies? And how they just "really didn't want a baby right now"? That's what I keep hearing from a couple of friends at work. It's hard to understand why these things happen. There are those of us who want children so badly, and they get taken away. And those who don't seem to want them have the easiest pregnancies. I just have to keep reminding myself that everything happens for a reason. It's not always easy to see it that way, but I really do believe it.
Smi - I know you can't wait for symptoms - sending you loads of your way!
Jen - yes I am very impressed with our marathon efforts. Surely have worked off a kilo or two. Aim is to put about 12 kilos back on over the next nine months!
Indy - I know what you mean about hearing that type of news. Seems to be happening to me weekly. Can't count the number of times I have hugged a friend or acquaintance lately and said, "that's great - I am so happy for you". I do truly mean it. But at the same time I feel ashamed for the envy I feel.
erybery - Sorry about your shopping trip. That does sound tough. I would cry, too. I think it is a little unusual not to have your AF by now and would encourage you to maybe get your hormone levels checked?? They can usually tell you when to expect AF after that.
Indy - that is great you managed to get in for the 29th - you will have a gameplan for 2009
Tam - I did not have any symptoms with my DD until I was at least 8 weeks along, so not much different to you. GL with the scan
MaternalBride - sounds like a great time to start a new job and have a good diversion. I hope you enjoy the change of scene and the new and interesting challenges it will bring.
Issy - You are doing so well, lovely
Tocarra -
AFM - Normally OPK's and I have great communication when I TTC but this month the OPK's are being a little uncooperative! I am also temping and my temps are a little lower this month so far (may be from the maca root). I was warned the first cycle after and IVF cycle can run a little late so have no idea when I will O (normally CD 15, today CD 16). Be great to O because DH and I need some sleep...
I just wanted to give my love to everyone and let you know I'm still lurking. I may not be on so much but pls know that I am sending you all the positivity in the world
I joined belly belly a while ago now but just haven't been able to really talk about what I was going thru until now. I am the 35 year old mum a gorgeous 6 year old boy and his wish to santa was to have a baby brother or sister. I fell pregnant Sept '08 and November '08 at my 12 week check up found out quite heartlessly that my baby had died at 8 weeks. It was the most gut wrenching feeling, what made it worse was that the sonographer who informed me, was so matter of fact and I had to continue to lay on the table while she finished the exam. You have to wonder where some people get there social skills.
So now I am trying again after a D&C and crossing fingers and toes that what most people say is true, that after a d&C you tend to fall pregnant quickly. I love reading the threads on here they give so much hope and also in some way comfort knowing I am not the only one. So thank you to all the girls who post on here and here's hoping that all of us TTC are blessed with the most precious gifts.
Maternalbride - Im so sorry af reared her ugly head I had problems with my hormones at various times in my cycle and my periods were far too long. I struggled with it for a long time and am convinced it caused my 3 chemical pg'cys. Last month I tried taking macca powder to sort out my cycles and see if it helped my hormones and not only did it sort out my hormones but I fell pg....and so far so good You can get it at any health food store, it comes in powder and capsules, but I took the powder, which although tastes disgusting, works quicker because your digestive system does not need to break down the capsule, it goes through the blood stream much faster. Of course I cannot be sure that the macca powder was the reason I fell pg, but I was advised to take it about 9 months ago by another lady on here who started taking it and fell pg straight away (and gave birth to a little girl a few weeks ago), after suffering from the same problems as me. I should have taken it a long time ago, but had kind of forgotten about it. Worth a try anyway! GL!
Smi - YAY for the morning sickness... I thought I was going to escape it up until a couple of days ago when I started feeling nauseas, and then this morning it was a race down the hallway to the closest sink, bucket or toilet...this morning it happen to be the kitchen sink! YUCK. Although I felt soooo much better once I had actually thrown up. Anyway I hope it keeps going...its a good sign.......and you did ask for after all
Jen - Hi hun....Have you by any chance tried the macca powder..might be worth a go?
Sorry for lack or persies at the moment ladies but im off for more family christmas bbq's. The lead up to christmas is far more hectic than the actual day!
Merry christmas everyone...and of course a happy new year! May all of your dreams come true.
Thank you for the Hugs MaternalBride... I am sorry AF has arrived I am crossing my fingers she doesn't visit me but I think she will. I will cross my fingers for you MB.. take care *hugs*
Hi Calebs mum and Welcome - Though I know it feels awful to have to be in this place!
I was just thinking how weird it is that everyone doesnt want their AF to show up (and I totally understand the reason why!) when I can't wait for ot to come so I can TTC again! Its been nearly 9 weeks since the D&C and still no AF. I rung the gyn yesterday and had a progesterone test which was only 2.5! so I have to pick up a prescription for the pill tomorrow. He said to take a pill twice a day for ten days then stop it, then AF should arrive and then start clomid on day 3! I cannot believe I am being put back on the pill to regulate my cycle! I wish my body would just "do" the right thing!
Anyways, I have to say that at least now Ill be doing something, not just waiting and waiting!
I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas and is able to get through the festive season without too much sadness even though I know how difficult it's gonna be for all of us!
Zachary's mum - The only way that I can think of to make sure you don't "miss your chance when ovulating" is to do it all the time!!! hehehe
your way!
