HAPPY NEW YEAR to my Aussie girls!! :confetti: May all your wishes, dreams, and desires come true in 2009!!! :partysmiley:
Mannie--Glad to hear that you finally got some answers! I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism when I was a senior in high school. My mom and I never even noticed the big goiter on my neck--it was a girl from school asking what was wrong with my neck that prompted us to go to the dr! I ended up having to drink iodine for radiation! After that they regulated it with a pill that I have to take daily. The weird thing is when I was pg with DS1, my body started producing the thyroid hormone again (which is weird because the radiation should've killed all the hormone), and I had to actually stop taking my meds while I was pg. But then with DS2 it never changed, and I stayed on the same dose thru the whole pg. Hope you get yours regulated soon so you're able to begin TTC again quickly! At least you've got something to go on now! :goodluck:
Ruthie--Love you back! Happy New Year's Eve! You're always in my :pray:
mollycat--Glad to see you're taking care of YOU! I still haven't given up on a miracle for you for 2009!! :hug: Love ya lots! *kiss*
:hello: buliej!! *hugs*
fifi--Glad to hear you're feeling a little better! Just in time for the New Year's celebrations! *hugs*
Happy New Year's Eve, smi!!! Sending lots of bellyrubs and :stickyvibesgirl: So glad you snuck in a BFP before the end of the year!!!!
Me--Had a slight drop in temp this am... it actually went below coverline... here's hoping it's due to an implantation dip! :crossfingers: Not getting my hopes up, because this certainly isn't the first time this has happened... just merely stating the facts! lol....
Just a quick one from me as I'm planning to snuggle down and enjoy a quiet, homely day in my pj's with DH. Probably eating cheese on toast and tuna casserole and playing computer games ;)
AF is due today, and I'm feeling quite worried. I've had some lovely symptoms, but we all know how fickle and misleading they can be. This morning while I dozed I felt cramps, which I've had on and off for a few days, but no bleeding or spotting yet at all. Please, please, please stay away AF!

PS. Oh and Happy New Year! :)
Hi ladies
Sorry it has been so long since i last posted, had a few family problems.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2009 TO EVERYONE!!!!!!
HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO PLC ON THE BIRTH OF BABY APRIL:cheer::cheer:
Sorry have not done personals, will have to catch up with everyone.
Big :hello: for Jen
Congratulations to the ladies who got BFP and :crossfingers: for more in 2009!
Thinking of you all
I haven't been on for a few days, but I want to wish everyone Happy New Year!!! May 2009 bring us all the little bundles we are praying for.
AF was due yesterday and hasn't shown yet. Last night one of my tension headaches started so I tested this morning and got a :bfn:. At least I know I can take something stronger than panadol.
Sorry for lack of persies, I will be back later once I've had a chance to catch up.
Hey hannahD - If Af was due yesterday and still hasnt shown up maybe it was a bit early to test? Just trying to be hopeful for you!
Acria- The wait to se what you post is killing me! I really hope Af has stayed away and you get your BFP!
AFM - I finished taking the mini-pill for the 7 days the gyn told me to. Ive had some spotting but no sign of AF yet. Hopefully i wont be waiting long for it so I can start taking the clomid. I just hope its not as painful as usual, though its been 10 weeks since the D&C so Im assuming it will be as my lining would have been pretty thick!
Thankyou of you all. Im so glad its a new year - It gives me hope!
hf2009 - I'm sorry for the loss thats brought you here, but I'm glad you've already found some comfort. The girls here are truly wonderful. I'm glad you've got the go ahead from your doctor. I :pray: you TTC journey is short.
HannahS - Sorry AF showed. :hug:
Krystie - Wow half-way already! :bellyrubs: for little Chyan.
Lisa - Sending lots of :noaf: your way.
erybery - I'm praying the mini-pill does the trick.
Mel - I hope you enjoyed your camping trip - its great you and DH got a few days to get away together. I hope you're maintaining your zen. Not charting seems to be working for you at the moment.
Theresa - Thinking of you hun. :hug:
smi - You got what you wished for. Must be a sign of a strong, healthy bub.
tutmae - Yay for lots of good, strong kicks. :bellyrubs: for Charlie.
jenbug - Welcome. I'm so sorry for your loss. Goodluck with TTC.
mannie - I'm so glad you finally have an answer. Even though you've had to endure a lot of heartbreak to get to this point, hopefully more can be prevented. And congratulations on the new job!
Ruthie - I'm glad things are looking up for your family, at least financially. Lets hope its just the beginning of the upward swing.
fifi - Glad you're feeling better. Look after yourself.
jen - :crossfingers: that was an implantation dip. Sending lots of anti-AF vibes your way.
chappas - Thanks for popping in. I hope you're family problems work out soon.
:hello: and *hugs* to mollycat, buliej, WTH, jenushka, megsmum, babymiracles, polly, possums, issy, tam, mo3b, adele, indy, TY, plc, ajc and anyone else I have not mentioned.
erybery - Thanks for thinking positive. The test I used says it can detect a positive result 5 days before AF. There wasn't even the tiniest, faintest resemblance of a second line. Plus, I don't have any symptoms either way. DH said he had a 'feeling' but I think that was just to stop me from drinking Christmas day.
chappas - sorry to hear about the family trouble, hope you're doing okay.
HannahD - as stated earlier, perhaps there's still a chance? You never know..and HPT's are tricky things..as I've just discovered..
erybery - fingers crossed that AF stays away and you can start clomid soon!
AFM - Well no AF yet, but no BFP either! I bought a HPT today, but my usual brand was unavailable, and the only one not over $10 did not come with a little cup. I usually use the ones with a little cup for pee-catching, but I decided 'how hard can it be to catch your own pee with a stick?' Well! Apparently very hard indeed! I didn't even catch enough to make the test work! There's a tiny start of the soaking of the testing part, but it didn't get far enough along to get even one line to show! How frustrating!
So, even though I know you're not meant to and it says it won't work, I'm going to use that test again once my bladder is ready, and I will find a little cup!
My symptoms have continued, frequent peeing (kind of useful now :rolleyes: ), tender nipples and breasts and DH said he thought my areolas looked larger. My abdomen has been having odd feelings still, not exactly cramps, but sometimes just a 'busy' feeling, and sometimes kind of stretchy and bloated. I have about a million pimples...hopefully I'll have some good news in a few hours, if my bladder fills, and I can find a cup, and catch some pee, and the test works!

Hey Acria - so annoying bout the testing. I would do it first thing in the morning as even after I had got a positive bloodtest of over 100 it still didnt show up on pee sticks in the afternoon. It only ever worked in the morning!
Praying for a BFP!!!
Good morning girls! Sorry I didn't get online yesterday to wish fifi and my US girls a Happy New Year!! Here's hoping for a prosperous baby-producing 2009 for us all! :crossfingers: :bluedust: :pink-babydust:
Chappas--Hey there stranger! :hug: So glad you were able to pop in for the beginning of the New Year!! Sorry to hear about your family problems... hope you're well and things are working out for you! Keep in touch!
HannahD--Aww, so sorry about your BFN! :hug: Even tho it was an early detection test, I'm hoping that maybe the hcg levels were still a bit too low to detect. Keeping my :crossfingers: just in case!
erybery--Sending you lots of new hope for a new year--and some AF vibes, too! *hugs*
Acria--Sending lots of :noaf: :SAAF: I've got everything crossed for a New Year BFP for you!! *hugs*
Some New Year's :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: for smilanatu, issy, megsmum, Tam, Possums, Krystie, jenushka, joey, fifi, larz, pbstar, tutmae, tina, RachelS, Leyza, & missbec

Maaaybe +++ HPT & a 4th Angel baby.
(please bear with me as I'm all over the place)
Ok.. I' don't want to jump ahead of myself...yet. a Baby would not be the smartest thing right now..we are NOT in a good shape for a baby. not ready.just NOT ready. but if it is.. then it is what it is. what can anyone do??..Nothing.. ya know?
As all of you know I have super.. and when I mean super I mean SUPER LONG cycles.
My last normal period was May21st 2008..I underwent Clomid and Metformin and got ++ OPKs and whatnot.. to get a hint of a BFP on Cycle day 63!!!! (When reg women have a BFP on Cycle day 27 and on)..again meaning I ovulated close a month after taking Clomid not withinn 14 days.. UUGHHH... anyways.. since My D&C on 9/12 I have NOT gotten AF. I have not felt anythign at all.. and have not even times sex..or even thought of TTCing at the moment (as amatter of fact sex has been pretty limited)... regardless.. being how my body is.. no one EVER knows what or when things happen.
Ok.. I know I'm all over the place. sorry.
Ok... Last week I felt some pinching feeling on my left ovary.. I thought.. could it be ovulation??.. and ressured myself.. that naaah... IMPOSSIBLE!
well... We have had a few nights of sex.. but HECK.. being where I am I HIGHLY doubt it would happen.. well
so fast forward to 12-31 my Boobs started feeling sore.. after my D&C I have not felt ANYTHING AT ALL in my boobs.. so makes me think either AF has FINALLY decided to come maybe.. or what else could it possibly be?... hubby got me like 3 $ tree HPTs which I have used 2 within the last 3 weeks.. and they have been as WHITE as snow. So I used FMU this AM for the heck of it.. and voila.. what do you know??.. a faint line.
it is EXACTLY the faint line I got with my very first hint of a BFP with my angel baby.
This is a pic of my first hint of a BFP with my angel baby and it is EXACTLY like the one I'm holding right now. it looks EXACTLY like it.
I just don't know what to make out of it. I am waiting it out.. and migth test again in 2 more days.. I don't want to ne happy at all.. not even excited. Cuz when I alwaysdo I'm up for more heartache. If I am indeed pregnant.. I'm not sure if it will be happy news ... or what. I have no m/s.. no nothing.. I do notice my BBS are darker again.. liek they did wth my angle.. yet not dark enough to say I'm pregnant. I just don't know.
another thing.... speaking of Angel babies...I stumbles upon a few pictures from April 2008. I realized that back on April 2008 I had 8 out of 10 HPTS with lines.. and then I got what I thought was AF.. pretty heavy and I actually made myself believe that the $ Tree tests I used were faulty. now that I look back ( I showed the pics to my hubby) .. $ tree tests are pretty good ... as those were the 1st tests to pick up my past pregnancy, so looking at the pics of those.. I am going to say that I'm 100% positive that was a miscarriage.. I didn't even know it really was that. SO I am changing my angel babies to 4.. as this baby does NOT deserve to be unaccounted for. I wanted him or her as bad as I wanted all my angles.
So I have 4 angels. ( 4/8/08 EDD around 12/6/08 ) I'm adding to my signature thingy)
I highly believe that was a BFP. What do you say. so I am changing my Angles from 3 to 4.. I'm convinced I was pregnant back in April 2008.
So the least I can do is acknowledge my baby.
I'm a mommy of 4 angles. I don't know what to make of this HPT.. I might have to get a trusted brand when I can afford one... and test all of it out.. I sure will let you know. I'm not asking for congratulations or prayers... I just wanted to let you all know my confusion and where I am right now.
Hugs to you all.. thank you for taking your time to read this.. I don't know what to make out of it but if I get no more lines then I'll know it is probably an ovarian cyst making all the fuss.. ( Ovarian cysts give false faint lines on HPTs for those who didn't know.)
Let's see how all this ends. If not I won't be disappointed.... we are still trying to get back on our feet and hopefully ..if things go out well.. we might see a specialist after tax season. Let' s see.. if not.. my husband and I have planned to send me for just 3 or 4 days back to Dominican Republic to see the doctor who diagnosed me and treated me for PCOS... he helped me conceive Erick and he delivered Erick... it looks like he did something docs in US haven;t and he is the ONLY one who knows me.. so I think it is the best thing to do..maybe in the Summer of 2009 I will see him ( I might go for 4 days to see him and my parents) and I'm SURE he knows what to do. and I'm 100% POSITIVE. that if I do see him.. I WILL be pregnant this year.
Sigh... so let's see.
all I can say is let's see. And I pray we either win the lotto or Gosh that my husband gets a job ASAP!!!!
I do pray for that... I don't think I can handle baby news right now.. I have not the resources to get anything to help me stay pregnant...meaning I'm doomed for yet another miscarriage. Let's hope I'm Not pregnant. Not yet.
Ruthie - Happy New Year, Sweetness. Wow - you may have got off to a very special start! It is very hard to know where you are at with your cycle, but I suggest testing again in two days and see if the line is darker (:pray:) Then go and get a BT at your GP to confirm things and to get the extra care you deserve. The waiting game is so hard, but please do not compare this HPT result with your angel, because all PG's start out with a faint HPT early on. Will be thinking the best thoughts for you :crossfingers:
Jen - Will be giving special attention to your chart over the next few days. Happy New Year, hun. Hope it brings you a lovely little bundle :goodluck:
Lisa - I have always opted for a cup for that very reason. I simply consider myself way tooo unco to manage weeing in the right direction for the right amount of time :rofl: Agree with Erybery - make sure you do it first thing when you wake up and your wee is more concentrated. How late is AF?
Smi - hope everything continues to go smoothly for you. What a special year 2009 will be :D
Megsmum - hiya cyber-sista. Say "hello" to your tummy from Aunty WTH and keep up the good work with the MS ;)
HannahD - :hello: (because you always remember me).
Hope you are feeling better soon.
:hello: to everyone else here. Hope you do not have to stick around this thread for too much longer and that 2009 brings us all the happiness you so deserve.
Well, my cycles vary between 26 and 28 days, and this is day 28. The last time I had a 28 day cycle was when I had to get it kick-started with progesterone tablets after a chemical pregnancy. So basically...AF is 2 days late. I had a tiny bit of spotting this morning and got very upset and disappointed (mornings are never good, at the best of times), but since then there's been no more spotting, nor cramps, just the same as has been for the last week and a half.
I can't afford to buy another HPT until next Thursday night now! Hahaha..I guess by then I'll know for sure anyway, as I never miss AF! So for now, still maybe!
Will do personals later, just got hoem from work and need to unwind.
