Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Los ~ December 08

JenBug: My heart goes out to you love.. I'm so very sorry your your loss. Been there 3 times unfortunately. :redface:
I hope and pray 2009 brings yo a little one love. Docs usually say that if you miscarry before 12 weeks you can wait one cycle and TTC again. Many don't even wait and conceive right away.. I personally recommend waiting at least just one cycle. Your body needs to heal and go back to normal to start fresh ya know? My best wishes going your way love.. you are among friends. ♥

Polly: I haven;t had the pleasure to meet you but thank you for the new years wishes.... Happy New year to you and all my girlies here.. I know down from the heart we will have our miracles.

Jen: OMG Girl.. I just simply LOVE YOU!!!! Happy New year to you love... May GREAT things come your way ♥

To all my girlies...
I had a massive meltdown today.... a friend sent a video of her 1st u/s and OMG it was EXACTLY what I saw when I was 7 weeks with my angel.... my husband came home to find me a complete mess....I just have to let go.. and I had a good cry .. my husband hugged me for a loooonnggg time... those type of soothing hugs a man that loves can give.. I cried a LOt... but it felt good in the end. I have a wonderful husband ladies. I'm very blessed and like many of you said to me.. I will focus and give all that I can give to my two boys.. ♥
.. things are going way better than expected here $$ wise with the babysitting & my husbands unemployment help...I might start babysitting a 2nd baby starting next week... I'm very happy about that. Hubby is just waiting for 2009 to kick in as many companies have job offers after the new year.. wish us luck. :pray:... my husband reassures me that after Tax return season in April (my due date... :redface: )
We will save up or have good $$ to sea fertility specialist.. so that my ladies.. IS GOOD NEWS!!!!!!!!:pray: please.. PLEASE keep me in your prayers... God has been good to us... I just feel so torn that last year about this time I was planning my TTC journey for 2008... and you all know the rest.:redface:
Bur in the end.. it will ALL BE WORTH IT!!!

So here ladies.. to 2009..... 2008 took the one thing most of us want so dearly.. yet we have HOPE. Another year.. to start fresh.. to really prepare to change our lives.. with our well deserved BABIES!!!!

May God bring us all many blessings.... Those who just got their BFPS... **sticky vibes** and I wish you a H&H 9 months and baby.. **belly rubs** for those pregnant.... WAY TO GO GIRLS!!!!
And those TTC... I will join you sooner or later.. but you know STRAIGHT FROM THE HEART I'm rooting for you all!!!

HAPPY NEW YEARS!! MAY 2009 Bring us ALL a lot of things to treasure, cherish, be thankful for and laugh about.


hugs.
Ruthie

:hello: mannie and Acria

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

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!

Lisa xx

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!

Lisa xx

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



AJC & plc--So happy for you both on the births of your special new family members!! Welcome to the world Samuel and April! You two both have awesome mommies that love you so much and have waited so long for your arrival! :hug: & *kisses* from Auntie Jen Jen!!



For those of us TTC: mollycat, Angel, Toccara, WTH, Easha, Ruthie, Chappas, MO3B, dellydoo, HannahD, HannahS, babymiracles, TY, Dutchy, Maternal Bride, Emmanue, Caleb's mum, Polly, Rmercimek, mumma&bubba, babyonboard, princess, maddysmum, Indy, Mannie, Acria, Mel, buliej, tempus, mumstheword, Erybery, Theresa, & hoping for 2009-- a special delivery of :pink-babydust: :bluedust:

Thanks and big :grouphug: to you all for getting me thru 2008! Wishing all of us a healthy, happy, and prosperous New Year!! :confetti:

hannah d - Sorry about bfn hope it was just too early to test

Erbery - Good luck with the clomid, know what you mean glad its a new year too.

Acria - Thanks, doing ok now. Thats happened to me few times with those tests :crossfingers: for you.

Jen - Thanks, will keep in touch hope things are good with you.:hug:

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.

Hello ladies,

I just thought i'd let you guys know my story at the age of 30 I suddenly realised that time was slipping away and wondered if indeed I really wanted kids. Me and my partner decided to stop using contraception and see how things went. To our amazement I fell preg almost immediately, I was scared to death at the thought of what we'd let ourselves in for. My pregnancy was a good one, I bloomed all the way through and thoroughly enjoyed it. 9 and a half months later our son was born weighing in at 8lb 2oz, I vowed I would not have another child due to a very distressing time giving birth. But 2 years later I yearned for another baby to mother, we started trying again for another. 6 months later I fell preg, we were overjoyed and soo happy. But unfortunately the fetus didn't make it past 7 weeks and died, we were totally devastated. We carried on trying for another, but this time it took 12 months to conceive and I lost another at 6 weeks. By this time I was 35 and my OH was 40, I was starting to think that it would never happen for us. But we carried on trying, we had discussed the option of going for fertility treatment, but I was adamant that I was not going to put myself or our relationship through the hardship and possible disappointment that could come. 12 months later, still no sign of a baby, I had just about given up, I stopped writing down my period dates and checking ovulation dates etc, then bang I found myself pregnant again. I am very pleased to say that I am now 9 weeks pg with twins, so far things seem to be going ok, I am getting a lot of morning sickness, which can only be a good thing. I still check myself after urinating and dread the sight of seeing blood. We have all fingers and toes crossed that this pg is going to go well, I am now 36 and can't afford the time to lose another pg.

I just thought I'd share my story with all you fabulous women that have had miscarriages, as my story does offer a glimmer of hope to all of you. I wish each and everyone of you all the best in the world and may you have many babies in the future!!!;)

Kezzabird: :welcome: Thank you for sharing your story with us!!!! I'm very sorry for your losses. I am praying with all my heart that you have a Happy & healthy 9 months and babies!!!! WOOOHOOO for twins!!! :clap::dance:
My very best wishes going your way!! Keep us posted on how you do. ♥
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy::bluedust:

I have really missed you all and have now had a chance to catch up with what is happening. My love as always to you and wishing you a particularly special 2009.

I also want to sincerely thank you each and every one for your congratulations and best wishes leading up to and also after the arrival of my long-awaited baby, April. She is such a beautiful and easygoing little girl and I am blessed to have her. She is so worth the wait and I urge each of you never to give up your dreams of having a child if you possibly can. The end certainly justifies the means - with all due respect to our angels above who I am sure are sending positive vibes for our earth angels to safely arrive in our arms.

I also want to thank a number of you who have travelled with me on my journey from when I was so desperately TTC. I especially couldn't have made it without your guidance, love and support - I am always going to be there to return same to each of you.

:grouphug:

ps. I will put some photos in the gallery as soon as I can - I promise.

ETA: Thankyou kezzabird for sharing your experience and wish you every happiness while you grow your beautiful twins.

Plc: Thank you for your message of love and comfort. I have no doubt in my mind it is true... the wait is all worth it when you hold your healthy little one in your arms. My very best wishes are for you. enjoy mommyhood.. you deserve it girl ♥:hug:
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!:happyforyou:

WTH--Thanks! Hopefully you're keeping better track of my chart than I am, seeing as I somehow lost my thermometer in my bed this am!! When I woke up at 5:15 to take my temp, I stuck the thermometer down my sleeve... big mistake... when I got up it was gone! I can't even enter in my temp yet for today since DF's still asleep! At least I know it's somewhere in my bed, but I could barely sleep after I lost it, and I kept trying to feel for it without waking DF up! :wall: If only you could tell me what my temp was this morning! :lol:



Ruthie--I wish I knew what to say to help you get thru this! :hug: No congrats yet, as per your request, but keeping my faith and saying lots of :pray: for you that everything gets worked out!



Kezzabird--Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us! It certainly gives us all that glimmer of hope! *hugs* Sending lots of bellyrubs and :stickyvibesgirl: for those little twins of yours!!



plc--Thanks for being such a huge support for all of us TTC!! You always have just the right things to say to make everyone feel loved and supported! :hug: Thanks again for the great pics--I love them! Big smooches for April from Auntie jen jen!

Ruthie - I can understand your confusion. I agree with WTH...test again in a couple of days and then visit your doctor for confirmation. Big :hug: hun, take care of yourself.

WTH - :hello: back at ya!

Lisa - Your symptoms sound promising even if you have had bad luck with HPTs. :crossfingers: you get a BFP soon.

Kezzabird - :welcome: I'm so sorry for your losses, but thankyou so much for sharing your story with us. Congratulations on your pregnancy! And with twins! I :pray: you have a happy and healthy 9 months.

plc - Thanks for taking the time to pop in and wish us well. You're a wonderful support and offer hope to all of us TTC! Big :hug: to you and April.

jen - Thats too bad you lost your thermometer. Maybe its a sign that you are pregnant and don't need to temp anymore. Sending lots of :bluedust: and :noaf: to you.

AFM - Thankyou all for your positive wishes. AF is now 3 days late so maybe Friday was too early to test (I thought I might at least get a faint line). Friday was just a bad day because I had a severe headache that made it hard to cope with anything. I still don't have any symptoms either way. I'll just have to wait and see.

HannahD Im praying AF stays away from you!

Hi ladies,

Back from my trip away so time to catch up on some persies!

HannahD - :noaf: I so hope that AF stays away and you get a BFP to start off the new year. I really hope you tested too early. AF being 3 days late is a good sign! I wouldn't take no symptoms as a bad thing, there have been months where I have had so many pg symptoms and have been convinced I am pg but then AF arrives! :goodluck:

Kezzabird - Thanks so much for sharing your story. I am sorry for your losses but wish you a H&H pg - and twins - wow! Good to see another Tassie girl on this thread! At least our summer seems to be starting at last!

Ruthie - Sorry you seem to be so confused and worried. I :pray: you get the outcome you wish for.

plc - Thanks for popping in. So glad to hear everything is going well. You give me hope and I vow never to give up!

Acria - Goodluck, I hope AF stays away! Hopefully the spotting was an implantation bleed!

Chappas - Don't think we have met yet. :hello:

erybery - I hope AF has showed up!

Big :hello: to jen, babymiracles, WTH, mollycat, megsmum, smi, possums, polly, buliej, issy, mannie, tam and everyone else I may have missed.

AFM - Well, had a great few days away (have to go back to work tomorrow - argh!). It was nice to go and escape for a while. Came back on Friday for another blood test to see if I o this month, we'll see. DH and I have to go back this week for chromosone testing so fingers crossed all is ok. Will get the results at our next FS appointment on the 15th. Weighing up whether or not to have the lap surgery in February or to keep trying for a couple of months. Going to Melbourne for a wedding in early Feb and then twice in March so wondering if I should wait until after then.

I would prefer not to have it done but at the same time I want to know if something is wrong to we can fix it and don't waste more time! Might have another talk to the FS about it. Had anyone had it done and was it worthwhile?

Now in the TWW and I have lost some of my zen :( Got sore bbs again but that means nothing as I had it last cycle and AF still arrived. I am hoping it means my hormones are heightened which might increase our chances.

Sticky vibes to all those pg ladies and babydust to all of us TTC. I :pray: 2009 is the year for us all!

Thanks ladies for all the good wishes, so far so good, still keeping everything crossed it goes well.:pray: I have my second scan on Tuesday, this is to check they are not conjoined, as it wasn't apparent on the first scan.

Hi Mel, glad I'm not the only Tassie lady on here. I have to say I'm finding it very difficult to find twin side by side Buggy's here, the shops just don't seem to stock them. I am having to resort to online shopping, but would really like to see and test it before I buy. Where abouts R U, up North/South? I have an appointment with the midwife on Wed, she's going to give me tour of the Royal Hobart and introduce me to the obstetricians etc. So are you trying to conceive along with the rest of the ladies on here? Sorry if I sound nosey, just finding my way around this site and getting to know people.:redface:

I knew it...after eyeing up the belly buddies forums for the first two weeks of September for days, I finally worked up the courage to post a quick hello there. I was worried about jinxing myself, but my body has given me unmistakable signs for days and AF is never late, and I mean NEVER. She's now 3 days late, I post on the belly buddies thread, and within a couple of hours I am having slightly bloody mucus.

I know I could still be pg, but as I'm sure you all know, any sight of blood and immediately I feel that all is over and I was fooling myself and being silly.

I really thought this time there was no way I could be wrong. AF is 3 days late, my areolas are large and my breasts hurt, and they're SHINY! Everything tastes off, I'm incessently thirsty and needing to pee..how can I not be pregnant? :cry:

Please forgive the rant...

Oh Acria, I so hope you are pg, it could be just old blood from your previous period. But then again Mother nature has fooled many of us before, including myself. You certainly have all the symptoms of an early pg, I have everything crossed for you hun.:pray:

Awww Lisa, I so hope that AF stays away and you are pg. :bluedust::pink-babydust: It could just be an implantation bleed. Our bodies can be so cruel at times, fooling us with symptoms. I have given myself false hope on many occasions only to be shattered when AF arrives. Don't give yourself a hard time, there is nothing wrong with having hope, without it we have nothing to look forward to :). Just remember it's not over until AF shows :crossfingers::noaf:

Kezzabird - I am in the North (Launceston). You are not being nosey at all, I don't mind sharing my story (it is hard trying to get to know everyone when you first join). DH and I have been married just over 2 years and we started trying in August 2007. We fell pg on the 2nd cycle but unfortunately I m/c at 6 weeks. My cycle returned to normal straight away (physically fine, but emotionally was another story) and we started TTC on my next cycle and have been ever since. 14 months later and still no success :( Been seeing a FS since Nov and have had a few tests and at this stage everything appears to be in working order with me and DH. Might have to have an operation to check for endometritis in Feb but undecided on that at the moment. Feeling a little disillusioned with it all so I have stopped temping and noting my cycle in the hope that I will stress less about it and it will happen naturally. My best friend calls it me trying to be zen - lol. I do really well until the TWW arrives :wall:

Anyway, thanks again for sharing your story. You have given me renewed hope and I wish you all the luck in the world for a healthy and happy pregnancy. :)

Mel, I know this is easier said than done, but getting into Zen mode is definitely what you need right now. You are only 29 you have plenty of time to fall pregnant, it will happen it's just a matter of time and probably when you least expect it. You probably need to focus on something else and stop thinking about it all the time. Again easier said than done, been there done that. Maybe start a new project to focus on and take your mind off things.

I wish you loads of luck getting that elusive bun in the oven girly ;)

Thanks Kezzabird. I forgot to mention about the buggy's. I haven't done any research as I never got that far but I have heard Stork Talk in Devonport are quite good, not sure if they would stock any but it is worth a try. We also have Babyland in Launceston, not sure if you have that store in Hobart?

Ruthie - :pray: everything works out for you

Acria- Really hope it could be implantation bleeding :hug:

Kezzabird - Thankyou for sharing your story with us it has given me a little hope. Hoping everything goes really well for you

Plc - So happy for you

HannahD - Hope af stays away

Mel1979 - :hello: nice to meet you

AFM- Thinking of maybe seeing our doctor as we have been ttc for nearly 12 months since our second m/c. Cycles are all over the place too

Hi girls

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL

I have been away with DP for a few days, we went to Hervey Bay. It was nice to get away from the Gold Coast for a few days.

I will have to catch up on everyone's news as I have only just got back and wanted to wish everyone for 2009. I know it has to be a great year for all of us.

I also wanted to share some news with you all. DP and I got engaged! So now I can call him DF!!!! Now I know 2009 is going to be a wonderful year.

I will read all the news I have missed and get back to you all later. Hope you are all having a wonderful day!!

Zachary's Mom - Congratulations on your engagement! That's wonderful news and thankyou for sharing it with us :) How did he propose? Or did you propose!

chappas - seeing a Dr or FS might not be a bad idea, just to let your Dr know what's happening, and about your cycles. They may have some advice.

Kezza - I should have mentioned it earlier and I feel terrible that I didn't, but thankyou for sharing your story with us :) It's always good to hear the success stories, and to have more lovely ladies like yourself here.

AFM - Well, the pink has developed into a red, constant bleed. Still no cramps, and it's not heavy like a period, but I'm starting to feel like it's only a matter of time. I'm trying to hang onto a tiny bit of hope, and might get a HPT this afternoon, but I do feel like this cycle is over, and whatever happened..it over, and I need to look to the next cycle now. BBs are still tender..but I'm choosing to ignore whatever my body tells me, as clearly she is trying to screw me around. Hmph!

Off to see a friend with her two little boys, and now 3 or 4 months pg again...note to self: be strong.

Theresa - Congratulations on your engagement! What a great way to start a new year. :happyforyou:

Zachary'sMom - Congratulations on your engagement. Best wishes to you both for a happy & healthy life together.

Congratulations on your engagement Theresa!! :dance:

Lisa, I'm so sorry your body has messed with your head this month, what a bummer:(. It's happened to me many times and it's soooo damn depressing. Well done you for keeping strong though, keep your chin up babe, your time will come.;)
