Hi ladies - just touching base too. I am always keeping updated with ur posts but just haven't posted myself. I am so incredibly tired most of the time. Glad u had a great bday jenushka. yay for school ending mmteacher. krystielove - when i had my u/s the doc told me i had o'ed from my left side which i thought was interesting - no reason he had to tell me and never been told that info before. GL Acria!! Hey everyone else - thinking of u always and GL to the other girls testing soon - i think that includes u too jen!!

[Heaven]

Well I have a lot to catch up on by the looks of it!! Good news from me, I think I might have O'd!! Tomorrows temp will tell!! Now for personals.

KrystieLove- That's sad about ur best friend leaving. I remember when my best friend went to live in the UK, lots of tears!! How are you going with ur cycle?? Hope the hcg is gone or almost gone now!! Ok, read further and you're ovulating!! Yay!! Me too!! I think I am 2dpo today, but I will know from tomorrows temp for sure if it is. Did we O on the same day, if so, that is crazy, going through m/c at the same time and then Oing the same day!! rofl.

Toccara- Welcome, this is a lovely bunch of ppl I'm discovering so you will fit in well! So sorry about your loss

Hi Ladies

Just a little update. I've had two more little brown mucous patches appear - one yesterday afternoon and one late this morn. I'm not as panic-ish this time and although I know it's not a 'good' sign it may not be a bad one either. Am sure ultrasound next week will give me an answer either way. Yesterdays wasn't as much as the one last week and todays was even less again. everything is going to be ok. As much as I really love mingling with you all I would really like to be able to officially leave (even though I'll always come back to visit and spread babydust).

[jen805]

mmteacher--Whew! You had me a little worried, but I really did figure it was just the end of the school year keeping you so busy. Sorry to hear about your dog--you sound like such a good mommy already! Great BT results! Good luck at your appt. on Wed., will you get an u/s done at that appt? Have fun at your party tomorrow!


plc--Hi sleepy baby mama! Growing a baby is such hard work, rest as much as you can while you can! Thanks for the good luck... Can't believe my ticker says testing in 5 days! Not too sure about that one. I'm not nearly as antsy and impatient as I was last month at this time. More than anything I would love to get a BFP this month, but if I don't, then I'm ok with it--I'll just keep trying. I know I did the best I could this month, so if it's meant to be, it will be! I'll still take all the good luck and prayers that I can get, though!

[Jodsan]

Good morning everyone, hope you all had a great weekend (are still having a great weekend for the girls in the US)!

I didn't stick completely to my juicefast, needed some food so I had salads, fruit and vegis, should be just as effective I think. I am actually feeling absolutely fabulous. Cant wait for O now, got a good feeling about this month!

Well you girls have been very busy over the weekend.

Jen - Sounds like you really have things in perspective this month, that is sooooo hard to do only 5 days out from testing. Good luck!

Hey Plc - You just focus on you at that moment and growing that gorgeous little bundle!

mmteacher - Yay for you hcg levels! You can just sit back and relax now and focus on growing your bubba.

KristieLove - Yey for O, hope you catch the eggy. Sometimes you can O from both sides but usually your body just gets a number of eggs ready, then one dominates and releases and sends a hormonal message to the other eggs not to be released. Most girls have one ovary that is slightly more dominant, but some just alternate months. Mine doesn't seem to be in any pattern, some months I really cant tell which one released the egg. Ahh, the mysteries of nature!

Acria - It is sounding soooo promising. They do say that you can get some pretty good symptoms this early due to rapid hormone changes, especially progesterone. My CM definately felt and smelt different last time from about 7dpo and I definatley noticed I was peeing more. Really hope this is your month.

Jenushka - Sounds like you had a beautiful birthday. I love it when you actually get the time to sit and reflect on the things you have, most of the time we are just too busy to even notice how blessed we are. Good luck catching the eggy this month.

AJC - Yes, please do stay around to let us know how everything is going. But you know, you could have a foot in both camps and post in both forums until you are ready to leave here. Joining the Pg after mc forum could be really helpful as those girls have all been through exactly the same thing. When you are ready, just something to think about.

Tocarra - I am so sorry for your loss Welcome. This is a wonderful supportive place, the girls in here seem to understand like noone else could. So glad you are going to keep TTC. There is a little sticky bean just around the corner for you. Good luck!

Seenabeena - Sad to see you go but very happy it is for all the right reasons. I am sure we will all join you in the pg after mc forum very soon. See ya soon!!

Mollycat - Glad your renovation is nearly over. I've done it a few times myself, god painful stuff. We went without a shower for two weeks once, we just washed ourselves down, yuck! It's all going to be so worthwhile.

I have to get stuck into study now (I have exams in 2.5 weeks) so a big hello to everyone else.

[jen805]

Hey Jodsan, you always seem to know so much about everything, so I was wondering if you could possibly answer a question for me about CP and CM. I've always joked that I couldn't even tell if I had a cervix when trying to check on position, because it always feels the same. Tonight I decided to give it another shot, and it seems as though my cervix is high, soft, and slightly open. Hey, I actually DO have a cervix in there! I read that if you've had children before your cervix is always slightly open, but I also read that when you get pg, it will become closed--but that it might not be noticeable that it's closed until + test result. So could it possibly be that I actually haven't O'ed yet, and that I'm still possibly fertile--although CM is thick and creamy, no stretch to it at all (ew, I know, sorry). Never did notice any wet or watery CM this month. This is why I don't usually go by CP or CM because it's all a little too confusing to me. Just thought I'd ask your opinion, you're always a fountain of knowledge! Thanks for any info you might have!

jen- will look out for the LA version of the show.

Jodsan - glad you are feeling so great. It's surely going to be your month this month!!! have been into PAML thread a few times - will probably spend more time in there after my scan next week.

jenushka - a belated 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'. It sounds like you had a really good day!

Krystielove - catch that eggie girlie!!! Good luck.

Acria - sounds very promising. Thirsty - tell me about it. i have been sooo thirsty this time (which I haven't experienced before). i usually drink heaps of water every day because I know it's good for me but atm I really need to drink it all because I'm so thirsty. Of course i'm going to the loo all the time but oh well. Good luck and I hope the weekend coming brings you a BFP.

mmteacher - fab hcg results. Will see you in PAML soon.

and for everyone.

afm - am doing ok. yesterday was a bit of a nervous 'down' day but today is better. i think because I'm back at work and therefore distracted. I think that my bbs aren't as sore this time around because they're smaller. I lost a stack of weight after the last m/c when I started the low GI diet. I had to get my work pants taken down two sizes before I could wear them a few weeks ago so I guess it's only naturally for my body to feel different this time around. I am also alot fitter and healthier so I would imagine that is helping my body cope too.

Take care everyone!!!

[jen805]

I didn't mean to only limit an answer or theory to Jodsan re CP and CM. Will gladly accept any help from anyone!

[AJC]

jen - I would say that you are about to O. I don't read into CM too much, I rarely have EWCM - mine is creamy most of the time. Not too sure about CP after babies but mine is always very low & harder when pg. Althought once I get a +hpt I try not to poke and prod myself too much (am sure ob will do enough of that during u/s next week). Go grab DH &

mesgsmum - . Hope you get good prog results tomorrow from your BT. It's hard not to stress. I'm worried because my symptoms are different to last time - but if they were the same I would be worried that I will m/c again because they're the same!??!?
Hope you don't need to plan for next month because you'll have your BFP. and thanks again. I feel alot better now.

Hi everyone,

AJC - Try not to stress about not having sore BBs (hard not to I know!). But I never had them at all when I was pg with DD and no m/s either until about 7 weeks, so I felt pretty normal until then. And my pg that miscarried last year I did have sore BBs right up until I had the D&C. So in my (humble ) opinion BB soreness is not a good indicator of anything. Hang in there!!

Jodsan - That's great that you are feeling so positive, good luck for this month! Oh and good luck for the exams too.

jen - Only 5 days to go - yay! Good luck

plc - Glad to hear you are going OK, sorry you are so tired but at least that is a good sign!

mmteacher -Great HCG, you must feel pretty good after that!

KrystieLove - Yay, hope you had fun last night

Acria - Sounds all good! Fingers crossed for you!

jenushka - Happy belated birthday, glad to hear you had a nice day. Good luck this month.

Toccara - Welcome and I'm so sorry for your loss Glad though that found this place and hope it helps you get through.

seenabeena - Congratulations and all the best for a wonderful pregnancy!

Hi to anyone else that I've missed - I'm sure there must be someone!

AFM - Nothing exciting, getting heaps of cramps and have sore BBs. But I'm sure it's just from the progesterone so I'm trying not to get too excited yet as it's only 5 DPO today. I have an FS appointment and progesterone blood test tomorrow, so hopefully the prog levels will be good and we will come out of it with a plan for next month if we have no luck this month - but hopefully we won't need it!

[Jodsan]

Hey Jen - I noticed that my cervix changed shape a bit after DS, it's more of a slit now, rather than round. I just need to catch up on where you're at cos' I haven't been here. Did you have any O pains or any other indicator of O? When is AF due?
