Hi all,
Just want to say a massive congrats to PLC and welcome to April :stork-girl: :cheer:
Well after a fab xmas things are starting to settle down.
It was the EDD of our angel bub yesterday. It was a very hard day, lots of tears were shed and df was my saviour. We decided to have a little moment to ourselves, but mainly kept busy! i think it was the only way i could get thru the day.
I hope you all had a fab day, and that you all have a wonderful new year. Here is to a H&H 2009 with lots of :bfp:
-
Mollycat - Thanks for the beautiful poem, it was just so lovely and brought tears to my eyes.
Theresa - I think everyone here understands your pain although I only lost my angel at 11 weeks, I still think about him everyday he was so wanted and I know your baby was too. You always will think about him, its natural and when Christmas and special day's come along they are extra hard as we feel like something is missing. Don't be hard on yourself :hug:
PLC - Congrats on the arrival of April. Although I am only new your support to everyone in here has been amazing :)
Jen - Thanks for all your beautiful persies. You always go to such an effort to mention everyone. :D
To all the other girls I haven't mentioned and there have been a few, sorry, will be back for more persies later. Babydust to the TTC girlies and :stickyvibesgirl: to the newly pg ladies. Wishing you all the best for 2009 ;)
AFM - Am playing the waiting game, I think I am about 10DPO but my temp hasn't risen like it normally does so I am a little confused it would be one day high (like it should be in the second half of cycle, then down for two then up one, then down for three then up one. So I have pretty well said goodbye to this cycle as a chance of being pg as I know your temp needs to be up for pg to continue and now I am not even sure if I did O (although I got cramps around that time which is normal for me), which concerns me more. I know this is the first cycle since m/c and things could be a bit out of whack. :wall: Has anyone ever had a low temp in luteal phase and got a BFP?

fifi--Sorry to hear about the anniversary of your EDD :hug: I'm so glad you have such a supportive DF--and a little one growing in that belly of yours--to comfort you thru this difficult season!
Polly--I've seen pg charts in the chart gallery before on FF that have shown women that got BFP's with low LP temps. You can click on chart gallery and enter in the criteria that you want to look for--ie: pg charts, with low post O temps. Not sure if you need the VIP membership to do that or not... but good luck and saying lots of :pray: for a BFP!!
Yay--got our Christmas pics posted in the gallery if anyone wants to check them out! :)

:cheer: Congratulations to PLC on the birth of your :baby: girl
What a beautiful name!
:hello: to everyone else, especially Jen (because you never forget me :D) and to Megsmum (who kept me sane through my last two IVF experiences;))

PLC - CONGRATULATIONS honey and welcome to beautiful April!:clap::cheer:
To everyone else :grouphug: and big hug to Jen who also never forgets me! Hope all have had a good christmas and hugs and comfort to those for whom it was a difficult time with sad memories etc.
AFM: No good news I am afraid. After having my hopes go up and down a million times in the last five days after my hcg level of 21 on wednesday, AF has reared for ugly head today and I feel crap - very bad pains (similar to what I experienced with m/c although not quite as bad - bad enough for me to stay in bed all afternoon - not usual for me at all. I have to have a blood test tomorrow and if all back to normal probably start injections this week for a stimulated cycle. Although ready for this not looking forward to it as I felt so unwell last time and the outcome was not good (my m/c was with my first stimulated cycle).

Congratulations plc on the arrival of April :cheer: So happy for you hun!
babymiracles - Hun I'm so sorry that AF arrived :( I was really hopeful for you too. Take care of yourself OK?
WTH - :hug: I am so hoping that you will be joining me soon ;) and that you won't need that next IVF cycle!
A big hi to everyone else :) hopefully will be back for persies soon.

Congrats to PLC on the birth of April :dance:
Hello and :hug: to everyone ...
-
Babymiracles - I am sorry that damn AF arrived and you are feeling so bad... hugs to you
Jen - Thanks for the info on FF, have just started charting my cycle in there this month so will go in and check it out. :)
-
Possums, Polly and Megsmum - thanks so much guys.:hug: Possums and Megsmum was so hoping to be belly buddies with you both. Fingers crossed that I will join you soon. Pains are less bad today - fertility nurse said they were probably so bad as the egg had implanted for a while. I am starting on my second stimulated IVF cycle - first injection tonight - feeling rather apprehensive but it will all be worth it if I end up with a BFP soon.
:hug: and :hello: to jen, WTH, Mannie, Ruthie, Hannah, toccara, theresa, mel, issy, fifi, mollycat, tempus, jenuska, tutmae, smi, acria, erybery, dellydoo, tutmae and anyone else I have missed.

Theresa - I don't have any words for you, but just want to give you a big :hug:
lisa - Hope you caught that egg. :bluedust:
mollycat - Thankyou for the beautiful poem.
erybery - Sending lots of AF vibes your way! I hope she'll visit you instead of me. ;)
jen - Hope you had a great Christmas. Thanks for sharing pics. You have a beautiful family.
fifi - Sorry to hear it was your EDD yesterday. :hug: I'm glad you have a supportive DF.
polly - I don't temp so I can't answer your question. But I'm sending loads of :babydust-pink: anyway. 'Tis the season for miracles afterall.
babymiracles - I'm so sorry AF showed and is being hard on you to boot. :hug: But I'm wishing you loads of luck with the stimulated cycle.
:hello: WTH, issy, mel, possums, megsmum, toccara, krystie and all those I've missed.
AFM - AF is due on Jan 1. I don't really have any feelings one way or the other this cycle. But on Christmas day DH confessed that he had a 'feeling' this month. Then on Friday (which would have been about 8DPO if I o'ed on CD15) I had a small amout of (sorry if tmi) pinkish blood when I wiped. Dare I hope it was implantation? I don't want to get my hopes up like I did last cycle. At least there's only a few more days until I find out.

Hi, everyone,
I've just been reading lots of your threads this morning and have found lots of the opinions and information stated very comforting.
I fell pg in November whilst on the pill. When I discovered my pg in early December, my partner and I were thrilled. Sadly, I m/c on Christmas eve at 6 weeks.
We are hoping to try again as soon as possoible. We're seeing our GP tomorrow to check when he thinks it is ok to try again. I want to try again ASAP (if I o this month, then I'd like to try immediately).
I've been reading up on Pre-Seed and I'm about to go and buy some. Does anyone have any tried and tested tips that worked for them when TTC?
Thanks,
B

Hannah, it sounds like things might be going your way this month =) I will be hoping and praying for a BFP on New Years.
Sorry I haven't been around the last few days. I was so hopeful that I had conceived this cycle, but AF showed up on Saturday while I was at work. I was so devastated. I couldn't stop crying. Thankfully it was right around lunchtime so I was able to come home for a little while and get lots of hugs from DH. I've just been so depressed since then. Maybe we were trying too hard and stressing too much? Maybe it was too soon after m/c? Or maybe it just wasn't the right time. I know that's the case, but it doesn't make this any easier. This forum has helped me more during the last two months than I could ever say, but I just couldn't come here to talk about it because that would force me to think about it again.
I will be praying for all of you wonderful ladies and that you all get your miracles in 2009.

Hoping for 2009 - I'm terribly sorry to hear about your loss :( And what a horrible Christmas Eve it must have been for you this year. Hopefully next year you will be sharing Christmas Eve with a precious little bundle.
When I lost my angel my obstetrician wanted us to wait for 2 cycles. But I had to have a D&C and it sounds like you miscarried naturally (?). My DH and I were very keen to try again straight away too, and we started trying again as soon as I felt myself ovulating. Just remember that after a pregnancy and loss it can take a little while for your hcg level to drop back down and for you to ovulate again, so don't get too upset if it takes a while before your cycle gets back to normal. I think it took 4-5 weeks after my loss before I ovulated again. I definitely wish you the best of luck though! Some woman seem to be more fertile straight after a loss.
As for pre-seed, my DH and I tried it and it was quite good. I felt a little self-conscience when inserting it, lol, but after that it was rather comfortable to use. We didn't conceive during the months that we used it though, but I've heard a lot of more positive stories from other ladies on this forum :)
HannahS - Sorry that AF showed up for you :( And even more sorry that she had the nerve to show up while you were at work. So unfair. I sometimes wish we were able to find out why some things happen, and why others don't, and what life has planned for us. It's so hard when we are left wondering "why didn't it happen this month?!" when it's something that's wanted so badly. It's been said before, and it'll be said again... each cycle is one more cycle closer to getting your BFP and your already much-loved little bundle of joy.
HannahD - Oh honey, I will be keeping my fingers crossed that your DH's "feeling" is right on the money!!! I totally understand that you don't want to get your hopes up too high, but never forget the magical journey that you and your DH are taking together, and the wonderful destination that hopefully you will arrive at very soon! :hug:
Babymiracles - Wishing you all the best with your second stimulated IVF cycle. It sounds like you may have gotten very close last cycle, so hopefully the new year will bring you a wonderful new beginning!
Polly - Oh oh, now that you have started charting in FF you will become totally addicted! Lol! I thoroughly enjoyed temping and learning more about my own body and cycle. Good luck!
Toccara - Hi sweetie! :hug: I hope the festive season is being kind to you.
WTH - Hi missy. Good luck next month when you start your next IVF cycle! Sending you bucket loads of babydust. I'll even send you some little bags of babydust that you can discreetly keep it in your pockets at your doctor appointments ;)
Erybery - I hope that the mini-pill does the trick for you and that your cycles are back to normal once you finish taking the pills. Good luck when you start ttcing again! I very much look forward to seeing you announce a BFP.
Theresa - Honey I hope you managed to find some joy in Christmas this year. I know it must have been terribly hard for you and your family. This Christmas should have been a completely different experience for you and even I am angry that you were robbed of what could have been. I hope with all my heart that your next Christmas will be one of pure joy. :hug:
Acria - Lovely to see you back again sweetness, and I'm loving your positive vibe!
AJC - So glad that you and Samuel are doing really well. I absolutely adore the photos of him on facebook. He is such a handsome little boy! Seeing his photos makes me feel all gooey inside. Hehe.
Mel - Fingers crossed that your pains were ovulation pains and that you created a little christmas baby!
Jen - My gorgeous and fabulous Jen :) I peeked at your photos in the gallery and they are fantastic! I wish we had gotten a nice family photo, but in all honesty I totally forgot. I did get some pics of random christmas moments though, so hopefully when I get them onto my computer I'll find some nice ones.
Hmmm, I'm guessing you didn't get the book from me in the mail yet? Probably not considering I've been terribly slack and haven't quite gotten it to the post office yet, oops! I swear it'll be in the mail very very soon!!! Thank you so much for the lovely christmas card though. It was super sweet.
Oh, I want to add you to my facebook too, but I can't find you! If you look up my first name there's probably not too many to choose from in Australia, lol.
Hi to everyone else too! I hope I haven't missed too many persies. You are all in my thoughts. Good luck to everyone and I look forward to the new years bringing many BFPs!!!

Polly - got my fingers crossed for you, and hoping you caught that egg! After most of my m/cs my cycle returned to normal right away, but that could well be because I m/c at between 4 and 5 weeks. When I had my m/c at 11 weeks, it took about 5.5 to 6 weeks for AF to show up, and I'm fairly sure I didn't O that first cycle, as I usually feel it.
babymiracles - thinking of you chick. Sorry to hear about AF turning up, and hoping this cycle is beautifully productive for you. It's a difficult time, but I know you'll come through it, the strong, wonderful woman you are. Look after yourself. :hug:
HannahD - well, perhaps this is naive of me, but I think it's a good sign that you DH has a good feeling about the cycle :) I'm notorious for reading too much into things, but got my fingers crossed! And it is possible that the pinkishness was implantation bleeding, 8DPO seems the right sort of timeframe.
hoping for 2009 - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. There's never a good time for such a thing to happen, but the festive season can be particularly hard. Wishing you all the best.
HannahS - I understand completely about breaking down when AF came, particularly at work. The same thing happened to me at one point last year. It was about the second cycle after a m/c, and then my boss yelled at me and I just cried, oh dear. Got you in my thoughts, and hope the next cycle is an AF free one, for about 9 months!
Krystie - Lovely to see you again also, and pregnant! You go girl! I am feeling very positive at the present, which is possibly because this is the first cycle of TTC again, and it's still all fresh and hopeful. I have a good feeling though... :hug:
AFM - Only a few days until AF is due. Strange things have been happening, so I'm just keeping track of symptoms in FF, and am determined not to test until AF is late..so Sunday I think. I've been exhausted the last few days and have simply had to stop and sleep for an hour or two, unable to function otherwise. I'm also needing to pee a lot more, including getting up one night, which virtually never happens. I've felt some of the deep pains in my breasts and stabby ones in my nipples that I had last time I was pg, and I've had a severe skin breakout. This includes *blush* a horrid big white head on my..*whispers* inner labia! My word was that uncomfortable! Even sitting down was awkward. What a ridiculous place to get a pimple! Thank goodness it's..well..taken care of itself and it almost gone now. Off to Canberra tomorrow to see the Degas exhibition at the national gallery with my family, and dreading a full day's work on Wednesday. I'm sure I'll be exhausted again, and the boss will not be impressed, especially since I'll have no reason to tell her!

Hoping for 2009 - Ive never heard of pre-see what is it and what is it supposed to do?
Krystie love - Thankyou for all your big forum posts - you never forget anyone, it makes me feel special that someone remembers what we are all going through!
Hannah D - sounds hopeful!
Acria - Ill be looking forward to your post with good news.
Hugs for everyone else
AFM- only 3 more days of taking the mini-pill. I am hoping AF doesnt take days to arrive s I can hurry up and take the clomid and ttc. Seems like Ive been waiting forever...
