Trying to Conceive After Miscarriage or Loss April 2010

morning everyone, craftymummy-lovely to see your avatar again,good luck with the chinese herbs...possum magic-af /preg symptoms can be similiar,frustrating i know.Hope af stays away cause your symptoms are of early preg...ferrals-lovely to see your avatar too,my dentist bill was for dd braces was $7000,than goodness they were able to let me pay it off...sarahrach-wishing you a healthy preg,take one day at a time...ami-glad to hear your going to dr,ask him/her about hcg levels.google is not our friend sometimes...reet-hope your posting gets sorted out soon for you..ionamacca-hope little one feeling better...bons-my girlfriends had staffy dogs and hasn't had a problem with them being vicious,she always says any dog can be vicious if that is what the owner makes them,her son actually had a staffy and gave it to her because he said she wasn't rough &tough enough.I think it is the individual personality of the dog..

Sarahrach-I was told Abbi's HPT was a faint line because of her hormones were low so not sure if its common or not and i am not sure if time of implantation would matter as my 10dpo were dark with the boys but Abbi's were light even after AF due date.

Bon's-i use to breed American staffy's and English staffy's and i now own a American bull dog and a American staffy they are the most affectionate sooky playful dogs not at all aggressive but they are well socialised and have been brought up with lots of kid's but i will admit my Dozer ( American bulldog) she hates other dogs so i can not let her near other dogs i find they get a bad name from bad owners who don't socialise them pitbulls on the other hand i am not so fond of but that's my opinion i don't like there back ground history but then again American bulldogs have pitbull in there bloodline anyway i am about to run out the door to work i will be late.

Mathrews Mum - oh that is really good news! Thinking of you :) Thankyou for sharing, it helps me to understand a little of what you are going through. Good luck for Friday - transfer day.

Jelly - what's going on today? Any changes? I have everything crossed for you. Go do something exciting on your days off - it will help the time pass. You can be strong and not test. If you test now and don't get the response you hope for it will crush you, or it might just make you manic about testing ( like me, refusing to accept the BFN, but it was crushing nonetheless)

Alice - sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thankyou. The fear can be crippling, but I am determined to find a relatively positive way through, yesterday was a tough day, but today is better. No rhyme or reason. I suppose it gives you a little insight into what its like to defect from this thread - awesomely exciting because of that BFP but the fear can be as you say paralysing, and 40 weeks is a lot longer than 2 weeks. But somehow the 2ww is more manic. Maybe its just more anxiety compressed into such a short time? The anxiety is a bit like a fire burning quickly in the 2ww but just smouldering in the next stage, sometimes there are flare ups, but most of the time the fear is deep seated and ever present. To be honest? Either one is tough and you'll each find your own way when its your time. I hope yours is soon.

TTCALC - you go girl. I hope this is your time. Thanks for letting me know about the procedure.

And Alice, thankyou for keeping up with everyone, Murraycod used to be so good at that, I guess its time for the rest of us to step up occassionally.

Ami - I am hoping its good news for you....

Sarahrach - am lovin that photo! I am just so excited for you! Will I see you in the other thread? You will be most welcome.

Crafty ( I am going to PM you), Murray, Ferals ( still thinking of you), Bons, Ric, Teagm,MissK( long time no hear), Mildez, MillyD (special hello), Rose, Jenna,Kirsten, Ionna, Em, Blessed ( how is your new digs going?), T Hopes - sending you and anyone I have missed - my love and lost of bdust. be strong, you can do this and you will realise your dream.

Thanks Dory - yep, I'll probably pop in there when everything becomes a bit more real.

Hey Everyone,

Sarahrach - CONGRATS!! Great to see some happy news. YAY!!!! :dance:
kitfaerie - Hope you dont see AF for a while. Its a bugger when it shows. :pray:
Jellylove - Fingers crossed for you!!
TTCALovechild - Good luck! Be strong.
Rose - You are right. Should aways have hope, its just hard sometimes.

There are so many lovely ladies here. You all give such great advice and support for one another. It is so great to see. :) That there are such lovely people around.

AFM- Today in a few hours its time to go back to the hospital again to find out all the test results. Im scared. Scared they are going to say its my fault. Scared i could of prevented it. I hate that i had the mouth xray. I know alot of people have said to me that a mouth x ray could of caused this to happen but to me the dates line up and i just hate myself.

This morning befor DH went to work we DTD, when i went to the loo there was a lil bit of blood. The most smallest couple of dots. Dont know what its from. . . .
I than started thinking maybe it is implatation as AF is due on the 16th so maybe we caught the egg. But i dont know. Do you know what it could be?

What do you ladies think about chocolate and pregnancy? Is it ok? I read aout the caffine in it. but on most of the chocolate doesnt say it has any.

Have to start getting things organised and get ready to go. Ill be back on after i get hope.

Miss K - good luck this arvo. I am sorry that you're scared - I hope you get some answers that give you some relief from the fear and guilt. I can' help with the spotting but about the chocolate?

My ob told me before Easter that choc was good for me ( ie enjoyable and not harmful to bubs and little bad chlolessterol) and I could eat it. Dark chocolate has caffeine in it ( coco content) but milk chocolate not so much. In moderation I have no guilt ( except about the calories) about eating chocolate. I say, if you enjoy chocolate, then enjoy it, in moderation.

Sarahrach - the mods will likely tell you to make sure you don't have your signature enabled in this forum. When you reply, just scroll down past the "post icons" ( the colourful ones) and under a heading Additional Options there is a tick a box that says show your signature. If you uncheck it when you post in here, that will keep the mods happy. That's one the reasons I don't have a ticker, because I post in here so much and when I did my ticker, it applied it retrospectively to ALL of my posts. I was mortified. So in the end, because I post in here, I don't have one. it's easier than remembering to disable and enable it.

Oh goodness Dory - I was posting with my FF ticker until just today. I'll change it now.

good morning lovely ladies!

Ami - congrats on your bfp hun, sending loadsa sticky vibes your way. :D

ferals - Best of luck with your chinese herbs,CBFM & temp chart :D

Dory - I am beiing strong and not testing even though i have one at the ready! :lol: It is exactly a week today until i can test... 7 days now!

MissK - Good luck for your test results, don't be scared hun x

AFM - well yesterday i was bleeding very lightly on & off all day. I am still in two minds as to what it is. It's definitely a very odd AF! I went to the toilet this morning to find a circle of blood on the pad, no bigger than a 50 cent piece. It's dark blood and last night it was full of clots. Any idea's ladies? Just a strange early AF? I've been researching but i've had so many different answers :( so still bleeding today. no cramps no backache. no sore bb's. have had a headache for the past 3 days i've been bleeding though, that could be the fact i've been using my laptop for too long without my glasses!

This week is going so slow already :(

hi ladies

just thought id pop in and let you know that my appt with my ob/gyn went really well this morning! Seeing the pregnant women in the waiting room didnt even upset me this time, i just felt excited and happy for them!!! anyway we had a good chat, he is so understanding which is such a change from the ob i was seeing last time! So the plan is that im having the 21day blood test and DH is having the semen analysis - poor little love is happy to have it done but he is so nervous... i guess he just never really thought that we would get to this and he is worried!

Doc said that if all this comes back normal and we still haven't conceived by Sept then he will do a laproscopy.... fingers crossed we don't get to that part but just feel happy that he is being proactive and doesn't brush off my concerns and fears. also had a papsmear :o thank god thats over with!! least he managed to get it in, not like my GP last month! he had a medical student with him and she was having a peek up my hoo ha too! :redface: oh deary! ah well, they have to learn somewhere i guess!

dory - how you going sweetness? glad to hear you having a good day today and happy to hear about the choc during pregnancy! im a massive choc freak!!! what is you EDD??

reet - not sure whats happening with your posts?? it has never happened to me b4??

missk - in ref to the choc, my chinese doc told me to avoid during O time and 2ww as its a greasy food and it can cause flemmy build up in the fallopian tubes and can interfere with good implantation! but who knows..?? Slappers seem to drink and smoke and still get pregnant!!! im still having choc - just not as much and when i do have it, i drink hot water or green tea!

ferrals - hi lovey - so happy to see your back on track! missed seeing your name in here! it will be O time b4 you know it and we'll be in the torturous 2ww in no time!

murraycod - hugs darlin xx thinking of you xx

matthewsmum - excited about tomorrow for you, rest up and get ready! im feeling good for you!!

ami - all sounding good, keep us posted!

Ric & cookie - are you lurking ? hope your both well if you are! Ric - you must be testing soon right??

possum magic - not much of a wait left for you to test! sending you lots and lots of good luck darlin xx

:redface:what hair did you have done T-Hopes:redface: LOL, how rude am i! :clap:

hehehehhe - well now you mention it.... i got both attended too!! wasnt getting a papsmear with a big muffler!!!! :rofl:

Hiya- OMG T Hopes - I am having a god day to hear from you. So glad the news is positive, and besides what else is a hoo for is not to be looked at?

First of all you reminded me about the dreadful experience you had at the GP ( tighty!!) but which you managed to retell in a very funny way and then you cracked me up with having a "do". My BF says she just lets it all go and she doesn't seem to care about hairy muff( aka wig) but me? I am a bit like you. But what do I do now that I am exposing myself at least fornightly if not weekly( for an internal... not sure if the pap smear or internal without a speculum is worse? ) I will always be at the salon.... maybe I should invest in a good salon quality wax? Could even get much more creative..... and third - the reference to slappers. My words exactly! Sept 23 is the big day, thanks for asking, oh and today is an even better day for having read your posts.

Ferals, Murray, Crafty - so good to hear from you. I had another Dory moment when I wrote my post earlier - I somehow managed not to read your earlier posts.

Ferals - good for you for telling that irresponsible and insightless girl a few home truths!

MathewsMum - do you have a time for tomorrow yet?

Ami - girl don't you keep us in suspense about your visit to the Dr. Everything is crossed.

Reet - sorry you are so frustrated.... hang in there.

About the dogs? I don't have a specific view -I like most dogs. The only dogs that I don't seem to be able to get a connection with are dobermans, probably because I was bitten as a kid. I used to think of myself as the dog whisperer so a big shock to get bitten. But I was only a little tyke, probably doing something unacceptable to the dog and since then have been a big sook since.

Possum - hang in there girl. And hey - 34 is not that old ok? You'll get there.

Miss K - still thinking of you and hoping you're getting through your appointment ok.

Oh lord Ferrals, you've put the fear of God in me now... *hyperventilates*

:dance:


Dory: DONT do it, there are some things that are not worth saving money on and self waxing is one of them. I tried it not long again and it was the funnest, most painful hours of my life and i stopped half way thru! Total crack up!:lol:

dory - hehehehhehehe! Tighty! Love it!!! After that dreadful experience with my GP - DH started singing that song 'My lips are sealed' to me!!! He is so rotten sometimes!!! hehehhehehe! I wet my pants everytime i hear it on the radio now!

You have to go to Brazillian Butterfly!! They'll neaten up the hedge for you!!!! :lol:

And the 23rd Sept - sounds perfect!!! xx

Congrats sararach!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Afternoon ladies.

Sorry I've been MIA, have been lurking though.
I'm absolutely broke atm, and can't afford to get more internet credit this week, so I've been trying to conserve it, but I had to post today, couldn't resist any longer :)

Will do as many persies as I can now, and will try to get around to doing a full persies section next tuesday when I get paid!

Sarahrach - OMG CONGRATS DARL!!! :dance: I'm soooooooo happy for you!!!

Dory - 23rd of Sep is my stepsisters birthday. It's a great month all round, lovely spring weather, blue sky, flowers, new green buds on the trees... Such a wonderful time to have a bubba :)

Jellylove - I hope you find out what's going on soon! Also, I'll message the ebay store addy to you next tuesday, I've only got the Pandora Style stuff on there at the moment, so I'll put the MadeIt store and my website store in the message as well - I have to add more things onto all three of them anyway lol I'm planning on starting up a blog page at some point as well where I can put pictures of everything I make, even the ones I don't sell, on it as well.

T-hopes - :lol: that's the best laugh I've had in a while, Thank you :)

MissK - White & Milk Chocolate is perfectly fine during pregnancy - I don't know what I would have done without it while preg with DS lol It was one of my main cravings - it's the dark chocolate that has to be taken in moderation because of the caffiene. Although, new research says that a 1-3 cups of coffee spread throughout the day while pregnant won't harm the baby and actually helps to reduce fatty deposits in your arteries (eg cholesterol) and caffiene can help to regulate blood pressure when taken in small amounts. Don't quote me on that though, I'm just relaying what I read in a news article.
As for the bleeding, not sure. I suppose we'll all find out on the 16th anyway :)

Bons - My opinion on dogs of those breeds is that how they act depends on how they are raised. A dog that is raised as a guard dog will never be a family pet, and vice versa.
I know how you feel about people saying that your pup will end up attacking someone, we have a rottweiler, and she is the sweetest, most sookiest thing. Thinks she's a lap dog, just can't resist jumping up into our laps and curling up for pats.
Although, we have had one issue with her digging a hole under the fence and killing the neighbours chooks, it was a combination of ours and the neighbours faults - Us for not securing the base of the fence better, and theirs for putting their chooks on the side of their backyard that faces our backyard, where the temptation for eating chooks was constantly there in her face, 24/7. Even the best trained dogs would eventually snap and go for something that they wanted when it is constantly dangled before them. We only know it was partially the neighbours fault as we were babysitting a friends rotti last year (He was tied up on the neighbours side of our backyard, and our girl was tied up on the other side of the yard) and he broke his lead rope and dug under the fence and killed the neighbours chooks then too. But I never trusted that dog, he nearly severed our girls jugular not long afterwards, and was always nipping at my calves and getting into the rodent food & garbage bins when we were watching him.
The neighbours admitted to it, and love our girl as their mother is mostly deaf, but can here our dog bark, and everytime someone goes onto the neighbours property our girl barks and the old lady knows that someone is there (she can't hear her doorbell, and our girl scared off a potential robber last year as well, so they don't want anything to happen to our girl).
Also, the dogs that cause the most attacks are actually small dogs like Pomeranians, ****zu's, Chihuahua's, Foxy's and Terriers.
My opinion is that if your pup is well behaved, and you raise it in a loving environment you will have good dog. Sorry it's very long, but I hope that helps :)

afm - I'm not sure what's going on with me atm. My temp was 36.7 again this morning, I still get queasy, but I still have this horrible flu so all the gunk in my throat is probably making me feel queasy, I know it's made me dry retch a few time.
I'm not backed up anymore though, which is a good thing, (tmi) but my pee has been dark yellow again today.
I've also had a rather painful stinging sensation in my left side since early last night, just inside my hip. Very uncomfortable.
My boobs only just started to really hurt and sting like they normally do last night as well. Normally they start doing that 4-6 days after O. Better late than never I suppose.
I've also been eating like a horse in the evenings, probably because I don't normally eat anything until around 11am, but it's still odd. Not normal anyway.
I have a constant headache and earache - again probably because of this flu.

Anyway, thats all for today, will talk to you all again on Tuesday afternoon when I recharge my internet.
Have a great weekend guys!!!

afternoon everyone ,missk-did the results show anything?thinking of you....t-hopes-sounds like your dr has good plan...dory-got to be at hospital at 8.30 for transfer at 9.00.Hope they recieve good news from the lab and it can go ahead.
