Trying to Conceive After Miscarriage or Loss April 2010

Oh - and Jelly - when are you testing?

Hey thanks Sarahrach - the dr just said to come back in a week, he said next Friday or after... hahaha he thinks I'll be able to wait until after next Friday? Crazy person.

I'm very excited, just super nervous. I don't really want to tell everyone this time, worried that it'll jinx it (last time everyone knew at 6 weeks, 2 weeks later I lost it). Everyone in my circle knows that I'm trying to get knocked up, it's all I talk about, so I'm sure my not drinking at my dad's wedding is going to raise eyebrows. Is it wrong to really want morning sickness? I feel like if I had that it'd seem more real, and last time I didn't get the morning sickness that I had with DS. I had a super sense of smell that would make me gag, but nothing like the vomitting when I brushed my teeth that I had with DS.

So in a nutshell, I don't think I'm going to be truly relaxed until I hold a baby in my arms! Great.

Sarahrach - Testing next thursday even though i spose with the early response ones i could do a test on monday... with last pregnancy i tested 4 days before AF was due and got a bfn, then tested the day af was due and got a bfp! i just don't wanna jump the gun this time! :)

Ami - I don't think i'll be in a rush to tell ANYONE either. however DF has different feelings - he'd rather everyone know as soon as we find out! i disagree, we told everyone very early on last time and then when i had to explain to everyone what had happened it was so hard. :(

Congrts Ami, sending you sticky vibes

Yep agree Ami - its a pretty awful thing to have to tell everyone you MC, I guess you pray that given you've been there before you hope the odds are on your side this time around.

Crafty-the same UK site that you can buy the CBFM from i get a box of 20 and 5 free very early HPT's all for $20 plus postage.
I didn't get a high on my CBFM until day 16 last cycle the cycle before it was day 14 and the first cycle was day 13 so you can see i have been Oing at different times which is spot on to my AF turning up exactly 14 days after i O i can't explain why my cycles have been a bit off since the IVF but i have started my chinese herbs and i am back on the vitex hoping i get back to 28 day cycles .
AFyou-i am not sure if the monitor will show a high for you if your E2 dosnt rise enough but it can't hurt to monitor while Bding i hope this month you O.

Murrycod-where are you? i emailed you at home i am getting worried about you is everything alright?

Ami-congratz on your BFP.

Mathewsmum-fingers crossed your embie sticks.

AFM- i am doing ok still a little down in the dumps i am sick of all the pregnant people around me i now even have one who had a baby the same time we lost Abbi who is now pregnant with her 2nd it was bad enough watching people having babies when i should have been having mine but to watch them have there 2nd is just not fair.
I am on cycle day 6 and started my wee sticks for my CBFM today but for some reason i am not very motivated i still feel like giving up.

Ferrals DON'T GIVE UP !

If you do then there is no hope for me and I know we can do it, thats what this thread is all about keeping each other going while we patiently wait for a BFP. Thanks for the info will have to order more stix, I wonder where our murraycod is she had not posted on here for a while I do hope she hasn't had a meltdown ! Like we all do from time to time being on here for nearly a year really sucks !
I was in 2 minds as to trying the vitex again as if you remember after my mc I didn't get
AF for ages and then within 5 days of starting vitex I got her to visit and definately ovulated 14 days later but the depression and headaches it gave me well I don't know if I can live with that !

congrats to all the new BFPs this week so happy for you ! glad the older BFPs are going strong ie mumof4 and Dory I wonder if I will ever get to move out of here there are some of us been on here far toooo long and feeling like giving up but you know what we are made of stronger stuff so
Ferrals,murraycod,t,hopes, TTCLC, Alice and kitfaeri and all other long timers come on girls lets get this thing right once and for all !

Have a good evening !:)

Crafty: Mwa, you rock.

Ferrals: I am so proud of you, for being strong enough to get through this and for telling that skank what-for; I know it hurts and it feels unfair sometimes, but it will be your turn, and when your finally holding your baby, you'll be proud of yourself too.

MurrayCod: Where you at darling? You are missed! Come back!

TTCALC: I bet your busy, hope things are well xo

Alice: Just wanted to say hi! Hi!

Ami: Super congrats sweetheart, just take deep breaths and enjoy it! You'll be fine xo xo

SarahRach: Glad things are going well, hurrah!

AFM: Temping is still fun, and not irritating yet. Starting taking Maca, forcing DH to take it too, apparantly it's good for spermies as well.

I'm a bit sad. The want to have a baby is starting to ache a bit too much for my comfort. Usually, I'm conscious of it, but I can ignore it. But now? I see a newborn, or a toddler with green eyes (DH has beautiful green eyes) and I feel this wrenching deep down. It hurts.

I'm trying to make the most out of not being preg, went to the markets and got stacks of soft cheeses and wine. So, no baby, but plenty of Brie. Gonna go get me just a bit pished (which is approximately 1 1/2 glasses now after so long not drinking!) - love to everyone! xo

Crafty- Try liquid vitex and take half the amount it tastes like sh#t but i found it better than the tablet form the tablets give me headaches for the first few days then all good but the liquid vitex was good the only side effect i had was i am not as h##ny as i usually am while taking it but it makes me 28 days spot on and i O right on time plus i fell pregnant with Abbi on it but if it's not agreeing with you don't put yourself through it.
I wont give up just yet but not feeling real positive my body is changing the FS and Naturopath both say i am real fertile way off menopause plenty of eggs but why cant i get pregnant and why don't i get ewcm anymore and why are my boobs sore every month and why is my AF changing from 28-29 days every month to 28-33 days i dont mind getting older but not my vjay jay or my baby making bits not yet i am not ready.

Hello everyone,

Ami congratulations! That's wonderful news!! Hope those levels keep rising well and all the best for a H&H pg. :dance:

Gosh - that's our 7th BFP! Keep 'em coming. Any I'm with Crafty, it's time for some of us to get moving -it's our turn now!

MurryCod - wherefore art thou? We are missing our lovely MC - please pop in and say hi and let us know you are OK. We're here for you no matter what. It's your turn soon lovely, it is xxx

MatthewsMum - broke my heart reading your short post. That's IVF and TTC and MC&L all up, isn't it? It's such a bag of emotions, all at once. Big hugs to you. This little one is a winner - I know it! And your little Matthew is with you always and his little brother/sister too. I remember seeing that little embie on screen last cycle and I just sobbed. My poor FS and DH and the nurses didn't know what to do but it was just so overwhelming. I didn't know whether I was happy for this last precious chance or so sad for all the other losses. It can just get you like that. Thinking of you - be gentle with yourself and rest - all will be good. x

Yah Crafty and Ferrals are back - love you both x Crafty - hope that you get a good clear O this month. Ferrals, that's just heart wrenching seeing those second pregnancies - I would feel the same. It must be so confusing knowing you are so fertile still but having this damn frustrating time. Glad to hear you are giving it another year at least - we're here for you, no matter what.

Kit - poor love :hug: You'll see those big green eyes looking at you soon I promise. In the meantime, you enjoy your cheese! And IKWYM about the 1 1/2 glasses of wine - I had a glass of champas last night then a red wine and oh boy did I have a bad head this morning! I know it was a bad combo, but still - 2 glasses! All these years of on again/off again IVF and TTC have made me a wuss! :) Glad the charting is going well.

My dinner is ready so better go. AFM - would have been 20 weeks tomorrow :( :( Watching the young woman who used to work for me struggle up the stairs this morning with her belly made me sad. She's due the same day we were. Some days it just gets you, doesn't it? Keep reminding myself, it'll be May soon. I feel like I'm asking for a big wish getting two pgs in a row after so much time but I really hope we can.

Love to all,
Alice xx

PS Possum - HP is Harry Potter...so I guess you answered my question anyway! :)

ami, any sign of AF
Missk, thats exciting any way you look at it. Do another one in the morning with FMU. Lots of doctors say you dont need to wait. I belive that if you do have a little bundle baking away, then thats how it is meant to be. They come when they are ready and not a moment before....so if it is here, its meant to be.
Loving thoughts go out to you my sweet, I hope it is exactly the way you want it to be.xxx

Hi to everyone else, sorry not many persies. I am thinking of you all though. I am finding it so hard to keep up atm.

Sarahrach, so happy for you.
Dory Glad you re doing well xxx

love and bucket loads of babydust to all xxx

oh deray me, pardon my post b4, I just realised that I hadnt read two whole pages....my goodness it moves fast in here
love to all xxxx
Congrats Ami, thats awesome.\
MM hope you nurtured yourself darlin, take care my loving thoughts and vibes go out to you xxxxxx

Morning Everyone,
Congrats Ami- I hope those hcg hormones keep rising!
Dory - Glad you drop in....Its nice to hear how the escapees are going!
Crafty & Ferrals - Please both of you stay strong! I cant imagine how tough this is on both of but I do understand the Depression issues, mine arent linked to Vitex though. I think you are both wonderful caring ladies and your BFP's are on the way, despite the detours they may appear to be on.:hug:
Kitf - I know what you mean about the cheese! not so much the wine though more a spirits girl myself! After I mc i went and bought a ginormous amount of cheese then went via Maccas for a softserve ;)hope your not feeling to queasy today!
Murraycod - we miss you, hope you are feeling ok.
Alice - That will be you struggling up the stairs soon! I find milestones like the 1/2 way point hurt a lot, there is a woman 2 doors down from me due the same week I was, I cant bare to look at her.
Iona, Millyd, Jellyfish, Jenna, Missk, Sarahrach & Possum.....Big hugs to you all ( Im sorry, I know I have missed some :hug:
I loved the slappers comment too!

Afm - Feeling a bit meh, DH leaves tomorrow morning,the cramping has begun, so it is just a waiting game for Af.
Thanks all for your dog comments! I had one dog growing up a Rotti x red cattle and Dh had had ridgebacks and the last was a mastiff x rotti, My lapdog is now a 23kg APBT, I dont think i could have got through our mc without her or Dh, I have never had such a sook with sad eyes! or a pup that likes kittens so much. Ferrals - I love American Bulldogs!!! Dh wouldnt let me get one because he doesnt like the squashed up face:shakehead:, so we have compromised on a blue amstaff:dance: If I cant be pregnant I will have lots of furbabies!

:grouphug: xxxx

ami-congratulations,wishing you all the best...jellylove-i've never had implantation bleeding,hope that is what it is though..alice-hugs ,those situations pull at our heart strings.I still have to come inside sometimes when i hear the twins next door who are the age matthew is supposed to be,they'll be planning 1st birthday party soon for them.Do you need to go to your fs soon to sort out your meds?...thanks again ladies for your lovely words,much appreciated & needed...afm-got phone call from lab this morning,need to pick up my 9 embryos tomorrow which haven;t made it to freezing stage,lots of tears cried for them,i know that they were only at embrotic stage ,but i still got attached,once the eggs were fertilised,they were my babies,trying to stay calm to give this one inside me chance or then i'll just have something else to feel sad & guilty about....

MatthewsMum - sorry your little embies didn't make it. Nothing to feel guilty about, they have their own time, and it wasn't to be, sad as it is. I hope that the little one they put back is snuggling in and getting settled for the months ahead and that you have some to freeze as well? Yes, will need to be speaking to FS soon and getting ready. TBH these months have flown by and I almost don't feel ready. Take care and rest up xx

PS Bons - so much time apart from you DH! I hope it won't be too hard for you but imagine it must be at times. Hope it goes quickly.

Thanks all for the good luck..

Girls, love you all XX You are my strength

hi loveys...

matthewsmum - sorry to hear about your little embies, i can only imagine how sad that must make you feel :( My fingers are so very tightly crossed for the little one, finding its way inside... praying that the little bean, nestles in nice and snug and your bfp is on its way xx

ferrals - sending you a big hug, keep pushing on love, if all the docs are saying that your ok then keep fighting... we will win this!!!!

murraycod - miss n u xx

jellylove - dont lose hope, its early days yet, much to early for a bfp.

bons - glad your fur babies are looking after you, what would we do without them!? My two dogs have been my sanity thru this whole thing, never leave my side... bless them!

crafty - im with you love! We are gunna get it right! We have to keep chuggin' on!

kit - oh love, i know that ache well.... i try and keep mine burried deep too but every now and then it sneaks up on me! I try and change the pain to excitement though.... instead of harping on what i dont have, i focus on what i WILL have... i try not to focus on the fact that im not pushing a pram around but that I WILL be pushing a pram around.... i know it wouldnt work for everyone but it get me thru xx

alice - focus on May darlin....3 weeks today until its May!!! thats what..?? bout 21 sleeps??? im sorry its hard at work with the other lady... its awful i know.... i had one at my work too... i just avoided her as much as i could! :shhh:

sarah & Ami - congrats again girls, fabulous news and inspiration for all of us! look after yourselves and dont be strangers!

afm - had acupunture again this morning... and boy did i need it! found out yesterday that my dad has 2 x abdominal aortic aneurysms... and will need surgery asap! so worried about him, we just got the all clear from his bowel cancer and now this set back. I have this fear of losing him before i have a baby and im so envious of all my older sisters because all their children know him and will always remember him... i want my babies to know him too :( he is such a great man! they say that he will be fine after the surgery but he worries me... seeing him fight cancer has scared me so much.
Anyways, should O in the next few days which is good! Cant believe how fast time has gone and im at this stage already!!! bring on the 2ww! Im ready for you!!!

:egg::pinksperm::bluesperm::egg:

MurryCod! Yah!! You're back. And as usual, you've left a lovely long post thinking of everyone. :hug: The ut biop is not nice, I admit, but you'll be OK. It's a bit like an egg collection actually. I was a bit :o after I had it done, mostly 'cause I didn't know what to expect (it's internal, obviously, but that hadn't occurred to me - don't know how I thought they were going to do it! :rolleyes:) Hope it goes OK. Yes, a lot like an egg collection so you should be OK as you've done that before. Maybe take some panadol just in case! Hope it goes OK.

JellyLove - I've lost track are you waiting to test? Did I miss you? Good luck!

Thopes - so sorry about your Dad - we were posting at the same time. I hope your little ones will get to know him for many many years. Best wishes for this montth.

Alice x

hey ladies,

Murraycod - Good luck for your Uterus Biopsy, don't be scared - everything will be fine - you will be fine!

T-hopes - Yeah! Definitely not losing hope just yet haha! Thank you!

Alice - I was supposed to be strong and have will power and not test until thursday. however i couldn't wait that long even though i knew it would be a bfn this early... going to test again tomorrow morning!!!

Yeh! murrycod i new i could count on you to come back i had to email you at home because as you know some things we say will be edited here.
All the testing will put your mind at ease and no more wondering what if so it will be ok and i hope you get some answers that can be easily fixed and then a BFP will follow soon after.

TTCALC-your house sounds like mine i have my 3 boys my stepdaughter my eldests sons girlfriend my youngest sons 2 mates and my stepdaughters 2 friends all over for the day
GOD GIVE ME STRENGTH!!! so that is 9 kid's and hubby and i.

Jellylove-sorry it was a BFN hopefully just a bit early.

Mathewsmum-this will all turn out for the best i think you will be our next escapee to the BB thread.

Kitfaerie-i just stuffed myself with Brie and bickies yum! yum! and i know how the wrenching feeling feels i have that when i see DH looking at babies and little tots stumbling around i can see the longing in his eyes and i want to give him that i want to feel that bond between the two of us that we created something beautiful together i know we had Abbi but it's not the same.

Bons-aww sorry you feel a bit meh and DH wont be home to make you feel better
And blue american staffy awwwww! so beautiful i love that colour not an easy colour to find though i absolutely love my american bulldog i will post some pics of her later for you to show your DH.

AFM- well my fertile body is kicking in i am on day 7 and my Estrogen is already rising my CBFM is reading high today so i will have fertile signs for the next week but DH and i will only BD every 2nd day until i have my LH surge then we will go for it.
Good god i am going to be exhausted.

murraycod thanks for asking about me, No clomid for me after my Bts the specialist said it wouldn't help as he couldn't improve what my body was already doing. Just the tubal damage stopping me from getting pregnant unfortunately. BFN when I tested just waiting for AF to arrive so I can try again.

Matthew's Mum so sorry to read about your little embies not been able to be frozen. I'd feel the same way big :grouphug:

This thread is way huge it is sad so many of us are here!

Bons-here's some pic's of my poopy dog's Dozer is the 65kg white American bulldog and if you look under the bed Kaos is hiding under there poking his head out this was taken a year ago when dozer was only a puppy the one with her chewing her bone was today and she wouldn't put it down for the photo.

hi everyone ,alice-been feeling some cramping,so hope he/she getting a good spot.Bent over this afternoon & felt a sharp pain,hope i haven't disturbed something,i'm such a worry wart,i can't wait for you & murraycod to start your cycles in may,think it is agood sign of things to come...ttcalovechild-april 20 when i have my bt to see if this little embie has implanted,hope is good for both of us...jellylove-i know,we try with all our might to will that 2nd line...murraycod-lovely to see your name again,you've been missed around here lady..t-hopes-hope your dad's surgery goes well,he sound like a fighter..ferrals-have fun with that dh of yours,might be a bit hard with all those kids around...mildez-sorry for the bfn..afm-can't say thank you enough to you all

Well, i caved and POAS two days early yesterday and of course BFN swiftly followed by start of stomach cramps, headaches and later yesterday, AF. *sigh*...Feeling generally cr*ppy but will feel better when the hormone storm passes I think and i am into the 'O' phase and the hopefulness of another month.

T-hopes: hope all goes well with your dad's surgery.

Mildez: sorry for BFN :(

Murray cod: welcome back. Well done on all the blood taking and good luck for the biopsy. It's hard coming up to milestones like birthdays isn't it? It makes you reflect and sometimes that's not a comfortable thing. But just remember you are still young. I hope turning 30 will be just the start of a run of good things for you.

Hi Bons, sorry you're feeling 'meh' and double whammy of DH away. Lots of hugs to the furbabies for comfort hey?

Alice: I know what you mean about feeling bad when you seen others pregnant at same stage as you should have been. One of my circle of friends announced her 12 wk pg the same week i lost my 12wk baby. She recently had her baby and i still (4wks later) have not sent congratulations. I can get away with it because we are usually in contact via mutual friends rather than directly but i think i'm really just avoiding it because i feel sad about how we both should have had babies by now.

Kitfaerie can relate to you too: I feel sad when i see women with pregnant tummies or pushing young babies in prams. I too am trying to distract myself by thinking of good food to eat in the next 2 weeks that is outlawed when pregnant.

Too late for more personals for tonight so will just say hello to all the other lovely ladies. It's getting too hard to do everyone in one go, sorry. GOod luck to all those in the uncertain TWW.

Possum - sorry for your BFN :( Hope AF leaves you in peace soon and you can start a new cycle. I do hope you are out of here soon - too many of us, I agree, would love to see us all in the BB forums.

Mildez :( about your BFN too. That sucks. Hope the baby fairy visits you this month, and then can you please give her directions to rest of us? We need a few more bust outs as this thread is getting too big!

MatthewsMum - I hope that little one is snuggling in. Oh god it's hard doing that wait - it's the TWW with all the months before added onto it when you can't try naturally isn't it? I have everything crossed for you.

Sorry for no more personals this morning, feeling v. blue. Wondering why I'm still here after all these years, whether I should bother with this cycle, seems impossible to hope it'll work, just feeling generally squashed. And scared of trying yet again. Feel old and useless. Even my friends with kids are all starting to get their lives back (that's how they describe it) and aren't really interested in the whole baby stage anymore. Think they wonder why we keep trying. Why are we still trying? Feel like my life has been in a holding cycle for so long I just have no idea what I'm doing anymore. Blah, sorry. Hope we have some more good news stories in here soon. love to everyone,

Alice-we all feel down and at the end of our teather from time to time we all worry about our age and if it's to late or just not going to happen for us and i definitley know the feeling of a holding cycle we had to wait about 7 months for genetic testing before our ivf and the whole time my biological clock was ticking away this whole ttc is hard and stressful and can really suck sometimes but we need to keep going if we want our dream and you were so close you got your 1st ever BFP in Dec that was not long ago so it will happen for you just hang in there and believe that you can do this.

Possum magic-Sorry the witch turned up at your place and i agree with you there are to many ladies to reply to all at once so i try to reply to the gals in need who are down in the dumps they need it more and the other ladies i catch up with when it's their turn to feel a bit MEH! as Bon's says the escapees who got their BFP i wish them luck and know that they get the support in the pregnancy thread.

Mathewsmum-the cramping is normal from the progesterone support and bending ,sex and coughing will not make a difference to your embie implanting if it sticks it sticks so please don't worry try to relax in the thought that you could be our next BFP

AFM-19 day's until i bring Mowgli home so that is giving me something to look forward to. my estrogen is still rising the E2 line on my CBFM is real faint i am just waiting for that LH line to darken but i am only on day 8 so we will see if i O on time or late like last month i seem to have one normal month of 28-29 days and O on day 13-14 then the next is a 31-33 day cycle with O on day 16 i wonder if that is from the IVF messing me up or age related.

Alice darling I know it's hard. Im sorry you are having a down moment :hug: as you said earlier, the time has gone so quick, and hopefully the next 6 weeks can too. Honey we can be a hormonal mess together X
Out of a very large group of friends, I have only 1 friend who has yet not had a bubba, but she is going through her thirt IVF donor egg cycle.
Sometimes it is hard to face real life, with all of children running about, and the general discussion is sleeping, feeding, blah blah chitter chatter about eachothers children, the worst one that seems to continuously get braught up around me ATM, is birthing stories. Yeup, the one and only, well I don't know whats worse, that, or the one where it goes "You never know what true love is until you hold your baby in your arms".....so what? Because I'm infertile, I don't know how to love?? Sorry for the rant girls!!!!!!!!!
All in all Alice, you and I will get to May, put our Confident Capps on, and Stim like 2 girls have never stimmed before!:lol: Then die together in our TWW!!

Ferrals honey, actually, it does make sense....that you have 2 different cycles each month. Yes our bodies have minds of their own, but mabey your ovaries do too!! Mabey one is more productive than the other? Sort of makes sense anyway...
Hopefully you won't have to worry about working it out for too much longer, because you and I will be busting outta here soon enough XXX
OOOh 19days!! How exciting!!!!!

Crafty, do you remember when you mentioned about knitting baby socks??? I would sure love a pair, I can stick them under my pillow like Ferrals did when she got her BFP, plus I would just love for you to make me a pair, because I love knitted baby clothes!!!
How you doin girlfriend?!?!?!

Possum, hiney so sorry that it wasn't your month. Honey new cycles at the start can be sooo up hill, but once you get over your initial dissapointment, a week has gone by, and you will be looking to catch that eggie all over again. Isn't it funny, we all hate the dreaded TWW so much, but ache to get there every month!!
Huggs to you Possum, it will be ok XXXXX

Mildez, will you ever get the chance to do another IVF cycle? Im so sorry to hear you are getting AF X Take care of yourself darling XX

Matthew'sMum, your doing great XXXXX I hope you are drinking truckloads of water XXX
I had to drink at least 2 litres a day to help prevent OHS. What support medicine are you on if any? I had to use those disgusting Crinone Pessaries each night, and had Estradot Patches. The pessaries can cause cramping too. But cramping can be a good sign. I think I googled every possible thing each day of my TWW, something I will not be doing next time, I wen't completely bonkers!!

THopes, Oh honey, I am so sorry to read about your Dad XX I hope he is doing ok X Huggs to you and your Family, you are all going through such a rough time.
My FIL had tripple heart bypass last year the day before I miscarried. It scares me to think, that he knows all of his grandchildren from every sibling, other than DH and I. So I know how you are feeling.
Honey take it easy on yourself. Things will be ok X And we are all here to help you get through it all XXXX

Jellylove, thanks hun X

AFM, no new news, getting morre bloods done tomorrow.
OOOHHHHH hurry up 16th April, I have preordered the NewMoon DVD, and it has been worse than a TWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol: Am so in Loooove with Edward!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,
Just got back from Dropping DH to the airport...:(
Mathews Mum - I think you should put on a movie or get a good book and relax for the afternoon with your DH bringing you cups of tea! ;)
Alice - It will all be ok! Be very Brave and know that you will have that beautiful baby in your arms wrapped up in yours and DH's love. it will happen! xxx
T-Hopes - I hope your Dads surgery goes well, Im sure he will be fine, he sounds like he has a lot of fight left in him yet! :hug:
Ferrals - Your bulldog is beautiful! I love the markings on her face!I will attatch pic of my princess at the end, 9 kids in one house!!!! that is a lot of noise ;)I hope you and Dh have some ear plugs or somewhere to escape too!
Murraycod - Glad you are back! hope your bt come back all good, im having visions of you and alice standing next to each other with big bellies holding your backs! xxx

hugs to all!

Murrycod-I am watching twilight right now Edward yummy! shame DH not home for me to pounce on.
I have new moon to watch when i get home from work.
And when i think about it the naturopath said my right ovary is pumping out eggs and real fertile and my left is just normal plotting along so hope i pop a you bute egg from my right this month.

Bon's-she is so cute looks like a big sook.

xxx thanks Ferrals, MC, Bons. I'm a blubbering mess today. Don't know how I'm going to hold it together for this cycle when I feel like this already. Ferrals, I think MC could be right - I have a diff. cycle length from each ovary -one longer than the other and one more active than the other so maybe that's it? Take care all x

Ferrals, How did you get the NewMoon movie so early?? Victoria doesn't get it until the 16th!!!!! Not Fair :shakehead:
Watched Twilight last night....again....sigh....

I have all of the books, I have read them once and am dying to read them again, but saving them for my cycle next month to help keep me sane, in another world!


Alise honey, your body is getting ready to do this. It's almost time. It is a big lead up for you, so just take each day as it comes, if you need to shed a tear, do so, it will make you feel better X I'm sure I am going to be like this soon, just hasn't hit me yet :hug:

God help you all when it does!;)

Alice my love, ok, so today your a mess, that's fine, you can even be a mess tomorrow if you want, that's fine too, but in no way shape or form are you to give up, ok? If you really want, you can even go from a TTC mess to a UTD mess to a tired Mummy mess. You'll get through the next cycle because your strong enough to get through the next cycle. And when your holding your baby all your friends will go ''Awwww" and remember how sweet babies are! You can do this, even when it gets hard and it hurts. May will be wonderful.

Murraycod: So glad your back! Missed you soo much! I've got new moon on the cpu. Edward makes me think bad things, lol. Good luck with bloods tomorrow! It will be worth it xo

Ferrals: Your puppies are adorable! We had a rotti x doberman who weighed more than my dad, lol, he was the sweetest dog though. I always thought it was funny that ppl were a bit scared of him, he was just a big softie :) I really like ''proper" dogs, IYKWIM, lol!

Possum Magic: I'm sorry darling, this month is it! Deep breaths and positive thinking!

Bah, ok I'm done now, sorry for everyone I missed. Um, I have a bit of a hangover, lol. 4 glasses of wine = hangover for me now, my 21yr old self would be so disappointed in me. So I'm gonna go make friends with my couch, cos I'm not gonna leave him for the rest of the day!

Love to everyone! xo

AFM - Well I tested this morning (4 days before AF is due - I think I see a super super super faint line!!! however... gonna test again in morning and see if it's any darker or if I'm just imagining it :) having some cramps (only minor though) no sore boobies for me :( Oh how I long for sore boobies and morning sickness :D

Hello all

Murraycod welcome back I so missed you so glad your not giving up, you are not allowed to before me you here me I am the oldtimer here and if I carry on then so do all you other ladies you HEAR ME !
Alice I want you to give yourself a pat on the back and say its ok this journey is hard and painful every step of the way but you know what I am made of strong stuff and I can do this and I WILL GET MY BABY ! then take a deep breath and beleive in yourself !
I know how hard it is at times the girls on here know how hard I have been on myself in recent months but we have to have a break down every now and then its al the pressure, but the main thing is we never give up hope and our dreams !

Ferrals the line on the right of the cbfm is that the line you are talking about going lighter ? because mine is really light today !
I have different cycles one long and then the next month short real short, so looks like that could be the reason for it ! Keep smiling and keep beleiving looks like we both ovulated from the good side on the same month !

Bons hope your couch is comfy ! sleep well

matthews mum go girl your TWW will be a lot harder this time but will be your last one !

everyone else must go now my daughter was 6 today and i HAVE TO READ A NEW BOOK TO HER ! DORA !

Can't let this day go past without remembering our 2nd loss. Today would have been little Easter babies due date. No one else seems to have remembered, including DH. Granted this one was with us the least amount of time but it still matters a great deal to me. Bless you my little one.

SammyP, my heart goes out to you darling, I am so sorry XXXXX

Crafty, yeah you ain't getting rid of me yet ;)

KitF...............:lol: Good on ya!!! Hope you feel better tomorrow LOL

Matthew'sMum, yeah I know the pessaries youre talkin about, it was the worst part for me, they made me cramp vey nasty every single day.

Jellylove, I hate the feeling of nausea, but bring it on if it means there is a baby growing inside! When I fell PG last year I had no sore boobs, no nausea, no symptom. The only thing I had was constant AF cramping, which was obviously a bad sign for me.

Hey girls, I actually worked out how to add photos finally to my album!! Will have to organise some more now!! have a good sleep all XXXXX

Loops and Ric, and Sunbeam, if you girls are lurking, I miss chatting to you XXXXX

murraycod - i am the same - hate feeling sick but it's all good if i know i am preggers!
