Jen - love the avatar!!!
larz: i know how your feeling! i wake up and feel like i want to be sick, it lasts all day until about 6/7pm then i dont feel too bad. It does make you feel tired. i have a desk job where i'm at a computer all day and i just want to put my head down and sleep.!!
Your so lucky getting to see little bub again, i want another scan to so i know everything is ok.
I had one at 5 weeks to confirm the pregnancy and got to see a little heart beat so that was comfort, but i want another one so i know its still there!
Any way ginger buscuits are my life line at the moment, packet in my draw at work, packet by my bed lol they are everywhere.
Hope the sickness eases off for you soon

Tam - Just wondering if you were still waiting on any more test results before TTCing again, or whether it's full-steam-ahead? I hope that you DH's "Michael Phelps" freestyle their way to the finish line this month!
Thanks for the well-wishes for my potential BFP :) I'm being strong and not testing until at least 12DPO this cycle. It's kinda made the TWW go faster. I'm already 7DPO!
Jenushka - How are you going honeycakes? :hug:
Toccara - Oh my sweet, I'm very glad that your boobies are sore again, hehe. That's such a wierd thing to say to someone! :ROFL: Did you see your ob today? How did it go?
Rachel - Your tests are looking great! I can definitely see BFP!!! I'm so happy for you! Now for the rest of us... :) Bring on the sleepless, pee-filled nights! ;)
Mollycat - You'll have a talk to DH's boss? Hang on, his boss should be you! ;) Hehe. Just don't forget to go and have a nice massage after all this mega hard work you are doing! Once again I am tired thinking about it!
WTH - I found a chart that has the average thickness of the uterus lining during your cycle. Hope it helps you! I always thought that the lining should be at least 7mm too, but according to all the info I could find it says "The endometrium thickness is usually between 0.5 and 5mm". Maybe 7mm and higher is wanted for couple undergoing fertility treatment... Not sure though.
Oh, and HI!! :)
Day of the Menstrual Cycle Average - Thickness of the Uterus Lining
1 - 0.5mm
5 - 1.5mm
10 - 2.25mm
15 - 3.0mm
20 - 4.0mm
25 - 5.0mm
27 - 4.75mm
1 - 0.5mm
Mannie - I am very sorry to hear about your loss :( Unfortunately I can't give you much advice about miscarrying naturally and I had to have a d&c because my body hadn't realised that my baby had passed away.I hope that once you recover from you loss, that you TTCing journey is short and sweet and that you have a beautiful little earth baby in your arms. I am very glad that you have found us in this thread :hug: Take whatever time you need to heal, and grieve in whatever way works for you. There is no right or wrong way to grieve :hug:
Jade - It' probably different for each lady, but after I lost my angel I waited about 4 weeks for my hcg to drop, and then I ovulated, then 14 days later AF came. The waiting and not-knowing part is just so hard isn't it?! I found that I felt better by getting hcg bloods done just to see where I was at. Perhaps you could get your dr to write you a form for the bloods? At least knowing the hcg level will let you know whether you still have a bit of waiting to do, or whether ovulation is imminent.
Smi - Big strength-giving hugs for when Lee gets home!!! :hug: Sorry that none of the little swimmers hung around :(
Angel nuffer - Ok, now I'M having some serious withdrawls! I saw your little green light on last night and was suuuure you would be in chat! Hmmm, maybe during the fertile period those little green lights should be little red lights instead. You know, like those "places" ;) :ROFL:
Sorry your night away wasn't quite the romantic getaway you expected. My friend just did one of those with her DH and one the way home she realised that she left her underwear in the bed! :ROFL:
Oh, and when DH and I got married, the hotel forgot to give us breakfast! Then I accidentally left my weddingnight lingerie in the room and they tried to charge me to mail it to me! So DH called them back and told them if they were going to bill $1.50 for postage, then they better refund the $55 dollars for the breakfast we didn't receive. They decided to send it for free, lol.
Oh, and when my avi goes up you and Jen have to guess at the symbolism in it! I can't wait for you to see!
PS. Jen's right, Jeff is HOT! Boom chicka wah wah! :ROFL:
Jen nuffer with the hot avi - You know that there is a chicken hiding behind the tent yeah? ;) I can't wait for you to see mine! And I can't believe how quickly you are reading your book. It must be pretty fabo, lol.
I'm still soooo cut about not getting to wear my costume :( I want someone else to have a dress-up party now! Oh, and I'm pretty sure the outfit will get some bedroom play ;)
Thanks for posting that guys email addy! I'll get onto emailing him and see what super dooper fabulous deal he's going to do for me!
AFM - I had an acupuncture apt today and it was heaven again. Got my needles and then they used the Moxa (the harry potter mugwort stuff) to do heat therapy. The I got a foot and leg massage (soooooo goooooooood!!!!) and then she did some guided relaxation stuff which was so soothing. So worth the money :ROFL:
SMI.. as if we would ditch cha.... goodness....... and as for that wayward sperm.... BUGGER........ thats the least Lee could have done... a going away pressie as such...;)
Krystie.... Boom chicka wah wah........ crack up..... hey.. i just learnt about the green light thing..... i had no idea..... hey we all have lights next to our names which says if we are online..... that is wayyyyy cool.... sorry.. quite stoked at that...:clap:
I was in and out of chat... last night... checking....but still ended up trying to stick with my curfew. .... I am soooo bad... like right now I ve only just finished a clients design and I should be righting it all up... but what do i do.... I get online to catch up with everyone first.... :rolleyes: HEY works for me ;)
Talking bout undies..... I forgot to take any...ROFL..... I got there and realised... then had to take off the ones i had that night and hand wash them and hang them up off the mini kitchen cupboard doors to dry for the next day..... then when breakfast was brought in that morning i quickly had to take them down before i could open the door... quite humerous really considering how classy the room was and there i am with my nickers hanging in between cupboards..
PS furtile time has gone..... in the last week of the 2ww at the moment.... then onto clomid and IUI... the good news is we have already given our future bubs a nick name.... Turkey...... as in Turkey baster... sorry.. thought i would explain... not everyone gets it cause they dont get my sick humour.
Jen nuff Jen....Firstly what happened to Secret Squirral..... I will say NO more! ... secondly... if i dont get some damn sleep i will be dead.. walking dead.... you should see the bags under my eyes at the moment.. .not a pretty sight... Now as for the football... it finished at 9.30... when PG and YOU get to chattin there is no way i m in bed before 1pm..... cause remember... its always both your faults and NEVER mine..... so back off..... :ROFL: ...... love you *kiss*
Krystie - I'm not the "boss" - I'm the better half. :rofl:
Rachel--Got to see your digital "pregnant" before it was removed! :cheer: Looks like official Congrats are in order! You're always welcome here, you know that! :hug:
chappas--Hope the AF vibes work for you! :crossfingers:
smi--Aww, sorry to hear about AF... to be honest, I was secretly hoping one of Lee's :sperm: went AWOL and was hiding away somewhere in there... I agree with Angel, it's the least he could've done! Glad to hear you had fun with your niece!
Hope your Tuesday-Monday is better than your Monday-Monday! Does that make any sense? lol...Good luck with that pile on your desk--you're Wonder Woman, you'll get thru it in no time!
larz--:goodluck2: with today's u/s! Can't wait to hear about that little :heartbeat: Sorry DH is away and will have to miss it!
AJC--Thanks about the avi! Just a few more sleeps to go until your u/s! Please let me know how things go.... that's also my EDD, so I could sure use some good news on that day! :hug:
fifi--Hope your m/s gets better soon! I hear lemon drops work well for m/s... and also they say if you cut a lemon in half and lay it on the table next to your bed, then the scent from the lemon helps reduce m/s! Let me know if you try it and it really works, will you? Good luck! :goodluck:
Toccara--Good luck with today's OB appt! Can't wait to hear all about it! Sending mega hugs and, of course, some :stickyvibesgirl:
Krystie--I knew I saw something hiding behind that tent! That chicken just seems to like to haunt me!
Finished my book! Woo hoo--less than 24 hours! I really liked it, tho I wish it had ended better...
Glad to hear you enjoyed your acupuncture--you must feel like a human pin cushion afterwards! Sounds like it's worth it, tho, with as relaxing as you make it sound!
Missed you and Nuff in chat this am :( It was so lonely in there! *sigh*
Ooh, and you're holding out so well on POAS--think you'll make it to 12DPO without caving???
Can't wait to see your avi!
Oh, forgot to tell you that I started taking extra Calcium and Magnesium--C'mon :stork-girl:
Nuff Nuff--Ooh, it's been a while since we played the blame game! Oh, come on, I've got bags under my eyes everyday from dragging myself out of bed at 5:30 every morning for a chat! Your bags look great from my front door! :rofl:
Shh! None of that Secret Squirrel nonsense! lol...
You wouldn't have to worry about forgetting panties if you just went commando style! Much easier access, too! (wink, wink!!)
Make sure you give Turkey some :bellyrubs: from Auntie Jen Jen!! *kiss* Miss you and love ya lots, Angel! Hugs...
Lots of :hug: for our newbies: Tam, babbs, Jade, and Mannie
tutmae--Hey stranger! Hope you're feeling better soon! Sending lots of :stickyvibesgirl:
Hey mollycat--Better to be the "better half" than the boss! ;)
Easha--Hey, hon! Hope you're doing well! Hugs...
Thanks for that Jen805 i am going to buy a lemon after work and give it a go. I will let you know the outcome :-)
Am feeling bit better this morning, but i was wide awake at 4 am this morning so i had some toast, which i think helped.
right must get back to work, i have to admit, i'm getting slightly addicted to this site now :-) good job my internet isnt monitored at work :-p
:sick: M/S kicked in last night doctor gave some med's for it and some prenatal vitamins and had a BT done still feeling a little sick so I will back later ... next appointment is the 16th :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Toccara--So it begins! Hope you feel better soon! :hug: :goodluck2: with those BT's!! :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
fifi--Hope the lemon helps! Don't forget the lemon drops, too! Argh, I had such bad insomnia when I was pg! Hope you can find a little time each day to sneak in a nap! It's so easy to become addicted to BB, isn't it? Especially the girls here! ;)
Hey jen I was up @ 600 in the chat room but I know it was like 300am your time ttyl ...
Toccara--Yeah, I'm usually in chat between 5:30-6:00 am my time, which would be between 8:30-9 your time. There was nobody in there at all this am... all thanks to Angel's new sucky curfew! ( ;) Angel!)
HI ALL,
Just got back from the U/S.
Baby is earlier than we thought, 6 weeks and 3 days. Heart beat was good, 120. So weird being able to see the little heart move.
Have a pic to show hubby when he gets home tomorrow.
Thanks for all the :pray: girls.
Fifi - I will have to get myself some ginger biscuits
Just popping in for a quickie - supposed to be working...
KrystieLove - Where in the world did you find that chart? I googled my bloomin' socks off. You are an absolute saint. :hug:
Smi - I'm doing Ok. Had second accupuncture session today. I am on Day 7. Strange cramping in RH ovary so something must have woken up. Also, I got my first AF the next day after my first session last week. Reckon there must be something to this accupuncture.
AFM - got an FS appointment this afternoon. Initial indications from my miscarriage investigations is that it is probably poor egg quality and that IVF (with PGD) may be help. We are going to do it. :pray:
"Hi" to everyone else... xx
Where There s Hope.... My hubby said that to me earlier ... just popin in for a quickie.......:ROFL: ...... na just jokes....... he knows better :ROFL::ROFL::ROFL::ROFL: .... and googled your socks of... ohhh cracked me up.... *looking ... looking... looking... where are my socks... ohhh thats right.... I googled them off* :ROFL:
Jen Jen.... I have some news for you your not going to like.... had a fight with the internet provider at home.... told them to cancel my account.... its a business account that is meant to be top of the range and you know the probs i ve had with it.... so now, and for the next couple of weeks until the new one kicks in i have no internet at home. Mind you with working 6 days a week now its not going to make much issue except for our late night chats......BUT.... what we have decided is that every Friday night will be our late night in at work... so i ll be online Friday nights..... So I suppose I ll have to wait until then :(
WTH - I hope your appointment went well this afternoon. Best wishes with IVF/PGD. :hug:
Jen - will certainly pop in and let you know how things go on Fri. Won't be till later in the day (Oz time) as we're going to see FIL afterwards for Fathers Day seeing as we won't see him on Sunday. :hug:
larz--Congrats on your u/s and seeing that tiny little :heartbeat:
WTH--Sounds like the acupuncture is working! :dance: I'm wishing you the best of luck with your FS appt and the IVF! :goodluck2:
AJC--Thanks, hon! Can't wait to hear some good news! :hug:
Angel--OMG.... what are you doing to me? Only one night to chat??? Are you off your rocker??? :doh: How am I supposed to get thru the whole entire week with only one chat?? That's like telling a smoker you can only have 1 ciggie a week! :o
My horoscope said:
Friends will be precious jewels to you: All month but doubly so on September 4.
A demanding romantic or business partner may reveal a side of character that may shock or depress you: September 3, September 12, and at the full moon in Pisces September 15 (in effect plus 3 days).
So it begins without our chat....As you can see, today is the first of three rough days for me this month!!! And on Friday when we chat, it will be the 4th here, so I'm thinking that's when my friends will be my precious jewels to me! Not really looking forward to the 12th and the 15th, though! It actually said the first half of Sept. was going to be rough for me... that's nice, isn't it? Gives me so much to look forward to...
Now normally I don't give astrology much thought... but the other day after doing some research, I was shocked at how spot on not only my horoscope was for Aug, but DF's horoscope as well! Even with the whole skydiving thing (his even said something about moving onwards and upwards) it's all in his horoscope! It's really creepy, and makes me think maybe there's something to it all... So it makes me even more nervous when I'm reading about my forecasted troubling first half of Sept!
Alas, more relationship turbulence will come up a week later, on Friday September 12, when Uranus in Pisces will conjoin the Sun in Virgo. News is sure to shock you, for it will come completely out of left field. You'll need to think about your response, and you will have the weekend to do so. On the heels of this very jarring cosmic aspect comes an equally jarring full moon in Pisces on Monday, September 15.
I hate bad predictions!! I'm keeping my eye on DF now.... and I'm telling you, if something comes of this.... if this is actually correct.... it's going to trip me out!
Friends, as mentioned earlier, will be blessings all month, but especially so on September 4. Lean on them if you need to! Your friends will also take you out of the house and distract you in the most delightful ways. In a month when events will seem weird and so very unexpected, it may be hard to keep an objective perspective. That's where your friends come in - listen to them!
So, Nuffer Nuff and Pill Girl, you're involved in cheering me up on the 4th--which will be Fri. for you! Hope to see you both then... no excuses!! :grouphug:
AFM... Low temp this morning, am thinking that it's pre-O dip, as last month I O'ed on CD12, and today's CD10. Hoping to see a coverline in the next 3 days... Better get my :bd: shoes on!!
It was really super quiet in here yesterday... where is everyone??? Missing you and thinking of you all! :hug: :goodluck2: :bluedust: :pink-babydust: :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
P.S. Will be back later to finish persies.... have to get the kids ready for school!
Hey ladies my emotion are still all over the place my boobs are not really sore anymore but I still have m/s this morning I'm started to wonder if the fact that I have breast implants is playing a role in them being sore one day and then not really the next day well I'm trying to stay postive and not worry I'm taking the m/s and bloated tummy as still good sign keep praying for me and my little bub !!! :pray:
I'm with you on the morning sicknewss part Toccara50. But like you i'm taking this as a sign that everything is still ok :pray:
Insomnia has now kicked in big stylie and i'm really struggling to sleep, i get home from work and i'm exhausted, but come bed time :rolleyes: you think i can sleep :wall:
I forgot to try the Lemon by my bed last night so i will give it a go tonight :lol:
Will keep you posted! :p
Yeah I almost throw up twice today so I'm keeping my hopes up !!! I will be :pray: really hard for you and your bub girl ...
P.S I had some horrible dreams this am I'm scared to go back to sleep now lol when I woke up my heart was beating fast ...
Toccara--Still saying lots of :pray: for you and your sticky little bub! Not sure about the breast implants affecting the soreness/or lack thereof... hopefully someone else can answer that question for you! :stickyvibesgirl:
fifi--Hope your insomnia begins to taper off soon so you can get some much needed rest! Hope the lemon works for you! :hug: :stickyvibesboy:
Hey, smi! It's hump day already! :dance: Hope you have a great day!
Krystie--Special :hug: for you!! Missin' you! *kiss*
:hello: mollycat! Thinking of you always.... :hug:
Hey I'm in chat ...
Hi ladies...today has been trying for me already. While I realize Lee and I are not together as a couple I found out he has already began chit-chatting on the phone and exchanging pictures with women and now I am just a mess...God help me I am so weak.I am trying to understand how can a person do that so quickly when they were just in love 3 weeks ago...I WISH I could move on so quickly...I'va had opportunity but just couldn't do it ya know. Anyways...:pray: for strength!
So sorry about the "me" moment...I hope everyone is doing well!
:pink-babydust::bluedust:
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Aww, smi.... that's tough! :( Could he possibly just be trying to make you jealous? That's really cr@ppy of him--totally inconsiderate--he needs a big, swift kick in the a$$! I'm so sorry, hon! :hug: How are your kids dealing with all this? It must be a pretty confusing situation! I'm saying major :pray: for you--stay strong! You're WAY better and above this, smi--you'll get thru this, I promise! I sent you an e-mail, did you get it?
I'm so sorry to hear that smi I'm praying so hard you get through this rough time ...
Larz: I'm so happy you saw your bean!! Glad all was super!!! Congrats good luck and you know I'm so wishing you a H&H 9 months and baby!!!:clap:
Toccara: Glad you are ok too.. UUGHH for M/S I have the worst case ever.. thought I was going to puke my stomach out this AM.. BBS feel like I have bricks tied to them.:rolleyes:
I'm so anxious for my next u/s in 2 weeks!!
OMG Joey I missed your B-day Happy belated Birthday!!! Hope you had fun!!:happybirthday:
To all my ladies sorry I have been MIA .. I have been stressed lately. You all might know I'm only child and my parents are retired and returned to our country of origin, Dominican Republic. it's a small island in the Caribbean and right now has a hurricane/ Tropical Storm hitting it.. I'm worried sick for my parents as mom is 56 and Dad is 62!!! I'm not worried about the house we have a rather well built house it has resisted hurricane Gorge and a massive Earthquake in 2003. standing solid!!
ok.. so again.. there are 2 more hurricanes close by that can threaten to pass over the small island and that makes me uneasy. My parents have family over there but I feel super helpless here in US and wish I was there with them!!:(
I'm calling them tonight to see how Hannah is affecting the place!! ( Hannah the hurricane)
I am going down there on December to spend Christmas with them with my son. ( hubby can't go has a new job and they won't give him that week off!!:angry: )
Dom. Rep. is a country with a lot of poverty.. it makes me sad cuz I know for sure many children, infants, women and men's lives will be lost.
There are many areas like close to the shore where people live in cardboard shacks and really unstable homes.. so its really sad.
Prayers for my parents and loved ones safety are much appreciated.
any BFP news??..anyone POASing soon??... Good luck my friends.
:grouphug:
Ruthie--Aww, saying lots of :pray: for your mom, dad, and loved ones! These hurricanes lately are terrible, and just seem to be getting worse with each one! Glad to hear that they're at least in a strong, solid place of refuge! Try not to stress out too much, tho, as that won't be good for your little one! :hug: Sending extra :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
p.s. And you thought you were finished with the terrible :2ww: didn't you? :lol: Hope the two weeks till your next scan flies by!
Hey, Toccara! You relaxing a bit, and hanging in there? Sending lots of happy, positive vibes your way! And always the complimentary :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
Jen: Thank you hun. Means so much!!:hug: And Oh YAH..am in the 2ww all over again :cryinglaugh:
I'm calling them tonight for peace of mind...I miss them terribly. Guess am homesick and all sappy today. ( hormones?) I think my 3yr old senses it cuz he is hugging me a lot today and kissing my arm... he is truly an angel sent from heaven. I don't know what I would do without my lil man.
thank you so much for caring. I hope you have a great day sweets and I'm always sending you my happiest thoughts and best wishes your way!
:hug:
Screen Friends
by Miasartiff
My husband has finally gone to work
My children have finished their play
they've gone to bed their stories read
Now it's my time of day.
I've had one of those days
you know what I mean
so I sit back and relax
and turn on my screen.
I'll talk to all my friends
who know just what to say
to make my stresses go
and my troubles fade away.
My friends you're always there for me
whenever I feel blue
and though we've never met before
I know our friendships true.
And although we haven't been friends for long
in this short time it seems
we shared so many things already
our hopes, our fears, our dreams.
We come from different walks of life
but we share a common bond
and it's time to say that of all of you
I've grown so very fond.
So thank you friends for being there
whenever I've needed you
I know you're always there for me
and you know I'm there for you.
Cherished Friends
Author Unknown
God must have know there would be times we'd need a word of cheer,
Someone to praise a triumph or brush away a tear.
He must have known we'd need to share the joy of "little things"
In order to appreciate the happiness life brings.
I think He knew our troubled hearts would sometimes throb with pain,
At trials and misfortunes, or goals we can't attain.
He knew we'd need the comfort of an understanding heart
To give us strength and courage to make a fresh, new start.
He knew we'd need companionship, unselfish....lasting....true,
And so God answered the heart's great need with Cherished Friends....like you!!
Jen~ I'm still hoping and praying everything is ok ... :pray:
Ok... very quickly because i have someone waiting downstairs for an appointment with me. Jen Jen..... Not only will I be online Friday night the 5th for us....But I will also be online all day Saturday which is the 5th for you..... See I may be busy but I know what the 5th of September is :hug:
SMI..... I have a plan.... What if some of us make up MSN ID s in male ID s.... we can chat you up like crazy..... hey to many men in my life over the years including my sons for me to not know how to talk "guy"....
