    Grrr! I lost my post! Let's try this again.....



    Babyfever--No apologies necessary, and nothing to forgive! Temp drop for me usually means AF will show that day or the next...



    Krystie--Yeah, everything is working according to plan.. I just couldn't bear the thought of getting a BFP before my other two fabs, so I put an all call out to AF, and BAM! I kid you not, she showed up 30 minutes later! I'm getting pretty good at using my powers--now if only I could learn to just point and say "BFP" that would be much more impressive --instead I only seem to be good at calling AF! The pressure's on you now to get the BFP ball rolling....

    Oh, and "Pill Girl Withdrawal symptoms" include, but are not limited to: blurred vision, tremors, dry mouth, constipation, excessive urination due to increased coffee intake, loss of libido, and you should not drive or operate machinery until you know how this will affect you.... Thanks for the "fix" this am!

    I'm still over our pic! But I'm beginning to think that that's how you really see me--I thought you were the type that could look past the feathers and see what's on the inside...



    babbs--Welcome to our humble thread I'm so very sorry for the loss of your baby girl! Rest assured, you've come to the right place for comfort, support, and understanding--this is the best bunch of girls you could ever hope to meet! I pray that your stay with us is short and sweet, and that your journey ends with a sticky BFP!!!

    mollycat--Thanks! Gotta get it right, tho: WE will fall pregnant in September!! Believe it or not, if I O on CD12 like I did last time, I'll be O'ing on my EDD... maybe my little angel will bring me some extra special luck this month!



    Hey tina! Thanks for popping in--it's been a while! Always good to hear from our pregger friends--gives us hope that it will happen for us, too! Sending hugs and



    Easha--I agree, July and Aug sucked as far as BFP's go!!! C'mon September!!!



    Van--Hey stranger! So good to hear from you again! Good luck with giving the IVF a try! As always, keeping you in my prayers!



    smilanatu--Any chance of you and Lee being friends with benefits??? Or are you on unfriendly terms right now? Hope you have a happy crappy Monday... seems fitting for me that AF would be joining me on a Monday of all days... grrr!

    And I completely agree with Angel--don't you dare become a stranger! We're all still here for you just like before--that won't ever change whether you're TTC or not!!



    Oh, Angel.... that song.... luckily I don't know the tune to it, or it would be stuck in my head all day long! rofl....

    Ok, now remember, Krystie and I are with you at your appt. today--and I promise I'll try my hardest to make sure Krystie doesn't throw popcorn at DH!! We'll aim right for the FS instead--especially if he ticks you off! lol.... But seriously, no being scared, you're going to be just fine! Saying extra for you and sending lots of positive vibes!!!




    Oh, Krystie, good luck with today's A appt!!!



    joey--And good luck for you, as well, with your acupuncture appt today!!!

    Well after a long hour wait for my scan (not good when you have a full bladder) they've finally told me its a BFP.

    I'm only 5 weeks and it's so tiny at 3.5mm. i got to see a little flutter of a heart beat.

    They have estimated my due date as 28th April ISH

    I'm over the moon, but still very worried!!!!

    Babyfever--Good luck with your appt. today! Sorry to hear about your BFN and impending AF...



    Nuff--I wonder what DH was thinking when the doc kept repeating "hmmm very good..... yes, very good..... shouldn't be a problem...."? Thank goodness Krystie and I missed that part of the appt... could you imagine what we in the peanut gallery would be saying??? ROFLMAO

    Please... next time bring a megaphone with you... my head hurts from the strain of trying to hear him... it didn't help that Pill Girl kept talking to me throughout the whole thing... how could I not be deaf after sitting next to motor-mouth?

    I'm DH's little swimmers have progressed to dog paddling... maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised and have some little Michael Phelps in there!! Had to at "here little swimmer... here little swimmer..." I can hear you whistling for them! oops, I think that one belongs to Pill Girl!

    I can't search for the song without a name! Unless they do a search by lyrics now that I'm unaware of! Do you know it?

    Aww.... I'm sure the chicken in me with get along great with little turkey!

    Krystie-- Eggs wielding samurai swords?! I always imagined yours would be wearing black latex and wielding whips! *whip*

    Oooooh, yes, the outfit and a wand! Can I borrow the wig, too??? *kiss*



    fifi--Congrats on your official BFP! Yay for seeing that little



    jenushka--How was your Sydney trip and dinner with dad? Lot's of coming your way!



    tutmae--I'll swap you my cramps for your m/s!!! Hope you're feeling better! *kiss*



    mollycat--How are you feeling about this coming O without the tamoxifen? I'm you're blessed with some of Krystie's samurai sword-wielding eggs!! (well, not her eggs, lol, but YKWIM!)


    Easha--:goodluck2: with O this weekend!! Maybe Krystie's eggs will loan your eggs some of their swords--ooh, or a whip or 2!!

    Hey girls, I just got back from my Appointment the OB said I had no Blood clotting disorders! Yay, He said that I probably had a LP problem and he recommended inducing my Ovulation since I O late in the cycle I had a choice between Clomid or Femera & I chose Femera, Hes got me on 5 mg and the set days are 3-7 of the cycle if DH is home he said to call if DH isn't home when O should be coming and hell change my pill taking time. So, I'm happy that all is well

    Still no AF

    smilanatu--Hey, girl! How's your DS adjusting to the high school life? Is your DS as grumpy and argumentative as my DS? OMG... just seems to be getting worse! Hope you're doing well!



    Babyfever--Did your doc suggest taking B6 to lengthen your LP? Lots of the girls here, myself included, have gotten great results with the B6. Congrats on your BT results--see, all that stressing and googling for nothing! Good luck with the Femera!

    Jen- The doctor didn't say anything about B6. Just told me he wanted me to be induced to O. And, than he wants me in for progestereon checks starting cd 21. He said my first progesterone draw was good but my second one which was when I begain bleeding was really low. It dropped fast he said it was 34.8 first draw and went to 1.3 that fast. So, hes going to put me on Progesterone too...

    Hi my BB girlies!!!! I read AF has arrived for some. Sending you hugs and praying extra hard for September BFPS!!!! My B-day is Sept 14th so I hope that for my BDay you girlies CATCH THAT EGGIE and bring ME BFP news!!!!

    Babbs: Welcome hun!! sorry about your loss. Most of us here if not all know exactly what you feel. Not too long ago I was just like you.. I had bad episodes of sobbing in public when I saw pregnant women. I underwent fertility meds and after 3 years of trying, 2 losses and 2 years from my last miscarriage, I conceived this bundle. Not all is over yet....I will be 9wks tomorrow and as you sure know.. I will be always scared of not seeing a heartbeat on the next u/s.
    My heart goes out to you and I hope and pray you conceive this very cycle and bring us Sept. BFP news!!!

    The women here are amazing I'm sure you will love them as much as I do!!


    To all my girlies.. I'm not doing too well today.. I have 3 days with lower back cramping/pain and it's killing me!!!! ( My thoughts & fears kill me more than the physical discomfort)

    I wipe all the time making sure I don;t see any spotting, the pain is not intense at all.. and I take comfort in remembering that on my last u/s the doc said my uterus was tilted backwards causing pressure in my spine. So am taking comfort in that.. but YOU ALL KNOW that even if that may be the cause, I sill worry about miscarriage. And Forever will till I'm 9 months and in labor.. and not even then.. I won't be worry free.

    I can be so pathetic at times.. every night before I go to bed I stare at my u/s pic and rub my belly.. I always say night after night,.."please baby grow nice and healthy, every millimeter you grow is a millimeter you heal in my broken heart."

    So I know my worries won;t end.. I just hope this lower back pain goes away so that I can relax and enjoy this pregnancy instead of worrying about something new every day.

    If things get worse doc told me not to even call.. he said to go straight to ER!! hoping It won't happen... I will keep you all posted on how I do.

    sniff sniff.. ( tearing up) I just pray to God that after trying for so long, for being a lab rat with so many diff meds, and endless tears and disappointment, I just pray that my happy day finally comes!! When the baby I have worked so much for finally arrives into my arms. My family love this tiny baby so much already!!..sniff.. sniff.. sorry need a moment.. just have to cry.


    In advance I want to thank you all for the support you have given me.. I totally know what you all go though month by month trying so hard for your miracle. From the bottom of my heart I pray that you all have your BFPs this cycle!!!!!

    with much l♥ve,

    Ruthie

    I will keep you all posted with whatever lies ahead. ( forcing a smile)

    Rutie- Aww I'm sorry your back is cramping. I hope all is well with bubs having a tilted uterus the farther you are with the pregnancy the more pressure you will have so I'm hoping that bubs is nice and tight and that your tilted uterus is whats causing it. I cannot beelive how time flys by your almost 9 WEEKS!!!

    I share a SEPT birthday with you!! YAY.. I'm sept 19th
