Trying to Conceive After Miscarriage or Loss April 2010

Oh Mummyof4, that sounds stressful! Early pregnancy is so tricky, practically everything can be normal! I think it's brilliant that you saw a heartbeat, that's a big hurdle you jumped right there, concentrate on that and hopefully everything else will turn out ok. I bet your dates line up better at your next scan. Did you talk to the techie about it? Was it tummy ultrasound or dildocam, cos tummy can be not so accurate...

afternoon everyone jennajayen,kitfaerie,t-hopes,dory,ionamacca,loops12 &saffy-thank you all for your kind words....ttalovechild-of cause you belong,it was nice to hear from you...jennajayen-sorry for the bfn,good luck with the testing...mummyof4-scans can be out a bit sometimes.Seeing the heartbeat is a great sign ...big hello to everyone else..afm-waiting for the phonecall

Fingers crossed for you MatthewsMum! :pray:

thanks ami.how are you going?..

Good thanks, still a bit nervy, every time I feel a twinge I just about hit panic stations. Going for my second BT tomorrow so find out next week how my bHCG levels are going, I've got very sore boobs and had quite a bit of nausea today, all of which I'm taking as good signs.

mummy of 4 - was your ob concerned about it at all? Are they doing any other tests?? wish i could be more help but i dont know too much about that stuff... my best advice is not to google and go stressing yourself about something that may be totally fine! You had a nice strong heart beat so thats a great sign! I guess if your doc isnt too concerned then you should try to relax... i know thats much easier said then done though. praying that your little bean is safe and well! xx

Mathewsmun-fingers crossed hang in there.

Dory-thank's for thinking of us girls still here.

Mummyof4- i wouldn't worry to much just because you go by your cycle and date ec,. doesn't mean your body followed suit you could have O'd later or implantation took place at a different time or the ultrasound was a bit out the heart is beating and all is good so don't worry.

Kitfaerie-do i use that many term's for molesting my DH lol i can't help if i am a bit of a nympho my man is soooo yummy!

T-Hopes-i am Oing right now i can feel it a bit like period pain ache so yippee hubby is home tonight then i am in the tww with you.

Just a quick one from me my Darlings XXXX

Kirsten Congratulations on your BFP, I hope you have a wonderfull, happy stress free pregnancy XXXXX

Matthew'sMum, glad you got my PM, am thinking of you, I truly hope everything is ok XXX

Loops, BDing is Bed Dancing LOL!!!!!


Well I have definately missed the pregnancy train at work again, 2 girls announced their pregnancies today, which is a total of 3 I am having to work in close quaters with.

FS rang thisavo, I have to go get more bloods taken tomorrow, which in total will be 19 viles for the week................3 more on Monday too.....
Hope I get some answers outa this.

Am feeling a bit Low ATM, will poke around but sorry if I don't catch up with everyone, Love to you all XXXXX

Ferrals, HUG........

Sorry for the quick post just wanted to jump on to say:

Kirsten!! Congratulations on your BFP - wonderful news. I hope all goes well for you - best wishes and let us know how you go.

MatthewsMum -:grouphug: lots of love to you - know that we are all thinking of you and holding you in our thoughts and your little embie. I hope everything will be OK. xx

T-hopes, Ferrals and Kit - I so hope you all get your BFPs this month.

MurryCod - I hope you get some answers from all these tests - 19 viles is a lot of blood! Are you eating extra meat to keep your iron up? Make sure you rest up

Hugs to everyone - my Mum always says "your turn will come love" and even when I feel like it never will, the way she says it makes me feel like it might. Passing on that thought to you all.

Alice x

And Dory - I was wondering how many weeks you were up to - 17!! So glad all is going well for you x

murraycod I am hearing you re work people been UTD. A total of 8 midwives I work with are UTD(out of 26 and half them are over 40 and finished childbearing so thats just the childbearing ones). Well 6 now as 2 just had bubs the last week. And I was due now also and its so horrid especially when I have been ttc longer then them all (and probably longer then all of them put together) and I am not exaderating.

I am feeling life is incredibly cruel at the moment. Just got home from looking after a lady who had an ectopic 11months ago and had a bub a few days ago. She was talking about how her DH didn't want another baby but she did so she had one anyway and all she did was complain about it crying to much. I couldn't help but wonder why her. I know thats nasty but I just thinking why did she fall pregnant again straight away and get another baby. Gee I feel awful but thats how I felt. I hate how it wont happen for us again :crying:

Well thats not why I got on. Mummyof4 I just wanted to say that when I had my scan with my 3yr old DD I was 1wk3days behind what I thought I was. I should have been 8wks3days and came back as 7wks1day. Afterwards I found out (after she was born) that as I had an abdominal ultrasound I was further along but they couldn't see well and a transvaginal ultrasound would have given me a date closer to what I really was (plus I was in the underweight range for my height 60kilos at 6foot tall so definately no extra padding like I have now. My 13wks scan showed I was 1week ahead of that so called 7week scan and DD arrived at 36+3 from the earliest scan date which put me behind a week (so my dates 37.5weeks) they said she was 36weeks so there scan was wrong but of course thats the EDD they went off so were trying to stop my labour etc. So after saying all this just wanted to say that if you didn't have a dildo cam scan its probably not acurate especially if you have any padding or a retroverted uterus. HR sounds perfect.

Morning All,
Mildez - Bigs hugs sweety! I think the way you are feeling is completely understandable! You did well to hold your tongue, I dont think I would have. Where is that pram of Justice ?????
Murraycod - Good luck for the latest BT's! xxx
Ferrals - How are you doing? Done molesting Dh?;)
Alice - How are the new herbs and diet making you feel?
Hope everything is going ok with you Mummyof4!!
MathewsMum - What is happening with you?

Hope everyone has a great friday!

xxx

morning all ,ami-sounds very positive...t-hopes& ferrals-best of luck in your tww girls...murraycod-sorry your feeling down,bound to happen though,thinking of you,hope you get your results back soon,you've got a ivf cycle waiting for you...alice-thanks,i'm very grateful for all of your supportive words & thoughts...mildez-hugs,have you made any decisions about your own ivf journey...afm-still waiting for clinic to call,still bleeding though even with the extra progesterone,i'll get ds off to pre-school,then ring them

bons-sorry ,missed your post,thanks for asking about me,how are you?

Matthew's Mum we are starting IVF in September but with the suppressing my own hormones etc it will be more like late Oct/Nov before I have EPU. We are waiting until then so I can afford 2 stim cycles (can only afford one and a half at the moment) and use my PHI and I am on a diet I gained 15kilos in the 2yrs ttc but have lost 4 so far. I really want to be feeling better in myself (body not head) before we start. I am really looking forward to it just wish it would hurry up and praying it wont be a huge disappointment. I would love to have another pregnancy by Christmas :pray:

Morning Ladies

Mildez-I have the same feeling life just sux i have had a major pregnancy convention since losing Abbi i am now up to 17 people around me have fallen pregnant 15 of those have had their babies 13 boys 2 girls and the two left are young bimbo's at work both smoke and do everything wrong to their bodies and don't seem to realise how lucky they are i hate working with them.
Then there is this male friend i work with his M#LE of an ex wife has 4 kids all to different dads she is 40 years old and never worked she treated my friend like dirt not allowing him to see his son and just being a nut case anyway she buttered him up and was all nice on a access visit with his son and they DTD once and she got pregnant after 1 time she just recently had a girl and wont let him even see his daughter WHY can people like that have babies they don't deserve them life is sooooo unfair.

Bons-I'm almost done molesting DH my egg popped last night so i will snag him again today before he goe's to work i have had no kids since yesterday morning the two youngest are at their nans and the eldest is at his girlfriends so look out sexy man!
Hope you have a great weekend.

Murrycod-I am thinking of you i got your email i will reply tonight when DH goes to work.

Crafty-How are you have you had any luck with those hormones of your's you should be in the tww now with T-Hopes and I.

Mathewsmum-How are you have you heard anything?

AFM-I found out some sh#t news yesterday my gay cousin is having IVF to get pregnant with a unknown donor so with my luck she will be pregnant before me.
And a distant family member who i never see (she is a step 2nd cousin) just lost her baby at 26 weeks from a knot in the umbilical cord so all up a pretty sh#tty day.
God i hope we have some luck this month and snagged a good egg and good swimmer
this whole ttc is exhausting and my vjay jay is getting sore.

Morning ladies, couldn't resist stopping by and letting you know that I had a big temp rise this morning to 37, from 36.6 yesterday.
Still feeling super queasy, and still not sure what is going on with my body atm, but since resetting FF it is saying AF is due on monday, so we'll see what happens.

Other news, I have to say it, so sorry if I offend anyone or anything like that, but I had one bright light in an otherwhise cruddy day yesterday - DS took his first steps :)
I was so happy and proud of him, took his first 5 steps around 5:30, and by 7 he'd managed to make it from halfway across the loungeroom and down the hallway before finally falling over between the kitchen doorway and the doorway of his room (approx 6m distance).
Just thought I'd share it, as even on our most down days there is always one little ray of light :)

Sending baby dust and sticky vibes out to everyone!

Jennajayen thats awesome, what a beautiful time for you xxx

Ferrals hope you caught that eggie sweet, and hope your vjay jay feels better soon :)

Anyway, just dropped dd off to care and I call upon the "Pram of Justice" sometimes I actually come really close to telling people to just F##k off!! (sorry) friend of mine got pregnant after having sex once in the month because she thought it would be cool to have babies at the same time. Anyway she found out she was pg 3 days after we lost our angel.
When she found out she was utd she was all" oh I dont want to do it without you....blah blah" anyway today she says "oh I had my 12 week scan looks good, everything was fine, are you still trying or what cause I need you to hurry up so I dont have to do this all alone, I cant believe youre not pg yet!"
I was dumbfounded and have to say she will be doing it alone anyway. She sounded so selfish and uncaring to the situation. Earlier at around 7weeks for her ahe said she wouldnt mind losing it so we could have the pgs at the same time again WTF!!!

Anyway sorry for the rant.

MM love my darling to you, my prayers are with you. I hate bleeding, but hopefully its not a bad thing for you. A girl I know bled heaps and her son is now 3.5. I knwo we all have stories like this but They give me a little hope, love to you xxxxx

Mildez, your feelings are completely warranted xxx
Alice, Thopes, Loops, Murraycod, Kitfaerie, Ami : all love and positive thoughts and sticky baby vibes go out to us all.
So sorry for missing people, I know I have, there are so many of us here :(

mildez-congratulations on the weight loss,i've always found extra weight finds me easily,pregnant for christmas sounds lovely...ferrals -haven't heard anything yet,lots of bleeding though,don't think a little tiny embryo could still be going,too much blood,of course i'm still hoping but i think i've got to be realistic as well...jennajayen-sounds like your still in with a chance,fingers crossed....millyd-thanks for the positive story,i believe they help as well

Good morning ladies,

Ami - Hope everything is going ok for you? Symptoms sound good! good luck for your bt's.
ferrals4 - Sorry to hear about all your bad news, hope things look up for you soon :crossfingers:
murraycod - Sorry about the girls at work hun, i know how hard it can be... hugs!
Matthew's Mum - Hope everything is ok hun
JennaJayen - Great news about DS :D
millyd - some people are unbelievable hey? Sorry your supposed friend had to say that to you... hugs

Everyone else - HUGS!

AFM - Well I'm going crazy here! I've started bleeding again! so this my second AF visit in a month now! How many times can she visit??? I don't know what's going on. I tested just to be sure. BFN. So now I really am confused. I take it the bleeding before was nothing? Because this is when AF really was due. So CD1 is now! It's like losing a game and being sent back to the start. I'm so stressed out! :wall: I've been told the best thing to do is wait for this cycle to figure itself out, see where I'm at, wait for the next AF and then begin trying. I'm just going to see what happens with this cycle. :(

Have a good day everyone!

Oh Jellylove, I'm sorry darling, that sounds so confusing! How annoying is it when the best advice is to wait and see! Are you gonna keep BD'ing or take it out of the equation til you know what's going on?

MillyD: OMG! No way! NO WAY! I cannot believe someone said that, pfft to them! Hugs to you darling, sometimes the world just doesn't get it :(

Ferrals: Sometimes I wish TTC took place in a bubble, where no one could tell us any news or anything like that. I'm sorry darling. Have fun with the final molesting :) Well final for the eggie, not like, final ever, I think you'd go crazy if it was the final ever!

Mildez: Sounds like a good plan, I think the body has a big effect on the mind, so it can only get better! Bring on September!

Alice: I like that thought, thanks :)

MatthewsMum: We're all behind you, no matter what. *Hugs*

AFM not a whole lot happening, had a big chat with my bestest friend (guy) about other friend's comment, and even he thought it was horrendous! He's pretty meh with TTC stuff, he gets that it bothers me and I stress about it, but he's not totally sure why, so that he was upset about the comment too made me kinda go yeah, it was that bad! Trying to concentrate on finishing an essay due Mon, but it's really not as interesting as BB. Think I'm gonna write my thesis on BB, that way everything I do here will be ''research''.

Mwa to all (specially crafty, where you been at?)

hey ladies, just wanted to pop in this morning and say a quick G'day!

Matthews mum- hope you are holding up ok, any word yet re bloods?? praying for you gorgeous xx

Hope you all have as lovely a weekend as possible! Thank god it's Friday huh!!! Bring on the weekend! Weve been blessed with some stunning weather in Melbourne and I plan to enjoy every drop of Sunshine that I can!! I hate the cold weather!!!
xx

jellylove-sorry about bfn,hope your cycles settles down soon....kitfaerie-goodluck on essay.i think we'd all get a+'s if we did one on bb...afm-nurse rang,told me progesterone level was 32 so not to low but not to high either,told me to keep taking the extra progesterone support & have a blood test on tuesday.I then asked her' well do you think it could still be positive'even though i'm still bleeding',she said if there is a chance the progesterone will help the embryo and that is all they can do to help ( i think she didn't want to give me false hope)which is perfectly understandable

Jennajayen-wooo hooo! on the temp rise mine is on it's way up today it was 36.35 from from 36.02 that was my dip before O it was 36.5 before that so hoping it keeps rising.
Isn't it eye watering watching your baby take their 1st step's i still remember my 1st son he was 9mths and walked under the kitchen table he hasn't stopped since.

Millyd-I know exactly how you feel i want to tell some people to f##k off they don't deserve to have babies.

Jellylove-sorry your body is being a pain in the butt it just adds to the stress of ttc hope it sorts itself out soon.

Kitfaerie-lol yes i would go nuts if i couldnt BD any more i sometimes even worry about when we get old and can't physically do it anymore good lord i would miss it i can see myself now in a nursing home sneaking into DH"s room and slipping the viagra into his food he he.
Goodluck on the essay.

Mathewsmum-sorry the news isn't real reasuring but we have all heard of people who have had bleeding and still been pregnant i hope you are one of them is the bleeding like a normal AF or just spotting?
My thoughts are with you this weekend.

AFM- DH is asleep on the lounge resting up before work or he could be resting because of all the BDing who knows but the poor baby i will let him sleep a bit longer than i will wake him up so i am sitting here watching mash on foxtel bored sh#tless i have no kids home and no housework so i popped in here to see whats happening.

ferrals-it started off as spotting for 2 days then yesterday & today it has been just like af,a friend of mine worked in a nursing home a long time ago & she used to say it was the old men ,they had to watch,she'd caught a few going visiting to the ladies ward

So am offically in the tww well and truely drowned my little egg there is no chance we missed it now we just have to pray that they are healthy and stick together and make a bub.

LOL @ drowned egg! Lets hope the sperm and egg are doing their own ''thang'' to get together. Good luck for this TWW ferrals, hopefully it's the last one so make it a good one! You and DH could shuffle off for a sneaky one in the closet together on your walking frames :)

MatthewsMum: I wouldent reach any conclusions til you know the blood test results. Thinking of you!

Hope everyone has a good weekend! I have this essay to finish (900 more words to go, yippee!) and some BD'ing to do!

Love to everyone!

Hi lovely ladies

Saffy ~ hi, hope you're well

Mummyof4 ~ Happy you got a great heartbeat. Im not really up with it all either but :pray: everything will be fine. Sounds like it might be just a mix up with dates and timing, FX

KitF ~ Oops LOL, my spelling sometimes is pretty crap! Baby Dance - I like that. Have fun BD'ing then LOL. Good luck with your essay xo

Matthews mum ~ Still hoping eveything is ok for you, might be breakthrough bleeding. Must be hard - big hugs and FX xx

Ami ~ FX for you! :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:

T-hopes ~ hi, hope you're well. FX for you

Murraycod ~ hi hun. KitF said that BD is baby dance. I like bed dancing too though LOL
Hugs xo

Alice ~ I like your positive attitude, thanks. Hope you're well and hugs back xo

Mildez ~ hi and hope the time goes quick for your next IVF try. But hope you get there naturally in the mean time.

Ferrals ~ Hugs. It is exhausting all this isnt it, worth it in the end though! Sorry you've had a rough trot. Hoping you get a fertilised egg after you drowned it LOL, FX

Jenna ~ Sounds like there could be a chance still, FX. I love hearing about your son walking, must be exciting. :pink-babydust::bluedust:

Milly'd ~ thanks hun and same to you. WTF's with your friend. Hope that doesnt offend but is she still a friend? xo

Jellylove ~ Hi and hope your body sorts itself out. GL

Sorry for anyone Ive missed and I wish you all well wherever you are at on this TTC journey. Hope to see some BFP's very soon.

AFM ~ Waiting for AF, havent had her for 2 months that's with the IVF cycle and the loss so now would be about the time I should get her I think. I do feel she is on the way. Would be nice to get a surprise BFP though. Highly doubtful but you can still hope.

Hi guys, enjoying a beautiful Victorian evening here,

Loops- I'm good thanks, hope a surprise bfp does come your way before AF does, some people do get them when they are least expecting it x

Kitfaeirie- hope your essay is going well and no writer's block, I'm so glad that part of my life is over for a while, what are you studying?

Matthew'sMum- hope you are holding up ok, xx

Alice- your mum sounds lovely, what a sweet thing to say, mine means well but is often untactful about having 3 daughters but no grandchildren!!

Mildez- Are you a midwife? I am too, thats a shame you have to work with so many pregnant people, most of my colleagues are way past their childbearing years. I hope you don't have too many encounters with tactless patients x

Ferals-your work sounds like a nightmare as well, must be so frustrating to have to listen to them all banging on with rubbish all day. Good luck with TWW.

Jennajayen- wow that must have been exciting to watch your DS's first steps, good on him!

millyD- sorry to hear your friend upset you, people don't think before they speak, its so hard to always have to keep a smile on your face isn't it?

jellylove- your cycle must be driving you mad! Hope it all settles into a nice bfp!

THopes- today was a beautiful day, hope it keeps up for the weekend, how is your TWW going?

For everyone else I missed:pink-babydust:

AFM- Had some spotting and cramping this morning so thought AF was coming a few days early, then nothing since, so against my better judgement haven't been able to stop thinking about the possibility it was implantation.This happens every month and is so frustrating, as I know the spotting will continue and turn into AF, I have no other symptoms except my usual sore boobs which mean nothing- so annoying as I had come to terms with the fact AF was coming and now I will be dissappointed again when she does :cry:

maybe not Saffy....are you doing what I do and trying to trick yourself into believing that you truly believe you are not pregnant and have given up this months hope....hahahaha I do that every month...when I am truly deep down thinking it probably is implantation hehehe we crazy girls. I hope it was implantation beautiful lady, i really do xxxxxxxx

KitFaerie - I know....! wont get too crazy about it at the moment you know :) I'm bleeding quite heavily so at least i know this is AF and she should be gone in 5 days, if things are normal after she's gone i think we'll still bd :D

All of a sudden it's 930pm and I've got Chaucer to read & uni work to do, and have spent ages trawling through all of this, AND working out that DH & I are blowing about $2000 a month out of our budget on CRAP! Seriously boggles the mind...

Quickly - thinking of you MatthewsMum, I'm amazed what you & other women like you on here go through with IVF, I think you're all incredible, it must be terribly hard.

Saffy - isn't it amazing what we can talk ourselves into? And each & every month, it's like a form of torture.

Fingers crossed for your BFP Loops!

Mildez - life just isn't fair is it? It constantly shocks & saddens me that so many people that don't appreciate or cherish their children fall pregnant so easily, yet there are so many that would DIE for that blessing and it just can't be reached. Don't ever lose hope though...

Jellylove - our bodies are minefields, you just don't know where to step next. I hope things start evening out for you soon! Has the bleeding stopped?

JennaJayen - yay DS! It's so amazing how they grow, and always too fast. My DS is 3 in July & he's at a delightful cheeky/backchatting stage. When I tell him not to be cheeky he says "MUM! I AM going to be cheeky."

KitFaerie - some people in our lives really don't deserve to be there. Don't let other people bring you down, particularly when they're obviously insensitive twats, just appreciate the good people you have. xoxo I'm also interested in hearing what you're studying? I'm doing a BA through Open Universities at the moment, and I'm waaaaaaaaaay behind. I'm doing 2 units this study period, one in Great Books & the other in the Making of Australia.

Alice - your mum sounds really sweet, my best friend says the same to me, though hers takes a more religious tone, in "When God decides it's the right baby, he'll send it your way. What is meant to be, will be." Gosh nearly broke out into Que Sera then... "whatever will be will be, the future's not ours to see, que sera, sera..." Jeez I think I need to get to bed... :)

Ferrals - sticky vibes heading your way! Sounds like you need a rest after all that BD'ing!

Dory - hope you're still feeling well, are you going to find out the gender of your baby?

T-Hopes - How's things? Did you have a look at that website? Although you might not now that you love eggwhite so much... It still gives me a giggle!

Sorry to anyone I've missed, I've gone through 2 pages of backlog to try & get to everyone, but know that I'm thinking of you. It's so busy in here! If it were a real cafe we'd have people complaining about all the noise...

AFM: Went to dr's for my 2nd BT's today. The lady taking my bloods looked at me askance and asked "Weren't you just in here last week getting BHCG levels?". I told her that the levels were really low, and due to my miscarriage last year we just wanted to check that everything was on the up and up. I also mentioned that when I saw the dr last week, his POAS didn't come up with a positive, so she goes "Oooh let's do one now!" and of course, not one to turn down a free POAS, I agreed! So did the test and got a BFP straight away, very dark! I can't tell you the relief I felt, like a weight lifted off my shoulders. Certainly I still feel the threat of the miscarriage, and don't think that I will feel truly "safe" until I'm past the 12 week mark (at least! I lost the last one at 8 weeks) but to have a real definitive BFP just totally lifted my spirits. For the past week, even though I've had the sore boobs & slight all day nausea, I've not really wanted to believe it was true, not wanting to get my hopes up too high, you know? I'm keeping my fingers tightly crossed for this one to stick around, but now I believe I am pregnant.

Now I'm keeping my fingers crossed for more BFP's in here - never lose hope ladies! xoxox

Hi everyone,

Ami love that's really great news - well done!! It would be a big relief for you. I have a close friend whose pg always started low with negative POAS tests so looking good for you now hey? Fingers crossed all goes well for the next three months - try to enjoy every minute of it and not think too much about the next weeks (easier said than done, I know! I remember how apprehensive I was about the scan)(I lost my little one at 8 weeks too). How are you finding Chaucer? Some of it is actually v. funny but it can be a bit hard to get into. Interesting subjects you're studying. Are you doing a BA in English Lit?

Saf, my mum isn't always tactful about the grandchild thing either. In fact she often complains to me that she only has one (she has two now after my brother's new partner had her first with IVF at 44 after one try - I love my niece but it hurt a lot that they were so lucky first up when we've been at it for so long). Sometimes I tell her that she's lucky to be even having that conversation with me 'cause it doesn't look like I'll ever have kids, never mind grandkids, so she should consider herself v. lucky! Poor Mum, she cops it sometimes but we are v. close and she knows that there's no one else I can talk to about my grief and she is very loving. I try not to vent but sometimes it just gets to me! I agree that people often don't think before they speak and it can be very hurtful. I hope the cramping is implantation cramping - IKWYM about that sort of thinking - ah the things we do to ourselves!

Loops, hope AF doesn't keep you waiting too long and you can get back to TTC.

Kit, good luck with the essay - what's it on? I'm glad you're friend agreed with you about that s***ful comment. It is just plain ignorance and I guess, as they say, ignorance is bliss and hopefully she'll realise what she said and be sorry. I've never really gotten over my friend's comment - when you've been through loss and grief it isn't something you'd ever wish on anyone else and it was awful to think she thought that in some way I'd be happpy that someone else was suffering. Go drown that egg :)

Jellylove - hope things settle down soon - very confusing what our bodies go through after a mc.

MillyD - I can't remember who has the Pram of Justice but time to pass it on to you. Give her a good whack why don't you? Like Saf says, some people really just don't think before they speak. Which doesn't mean you can't give her a good whack! I'm' sorry she said something so hurtful to you - she obviously has no idea what you're going through. :hug:

Jenna - temp is sounding good! Keep us posted

Ferrals - good luck with the TWW.

Bons - How are things with you? Thanks for asking about the diet. I'm trying not to think of it as things I can't have so much as things to avoid to make it a bit easier. Planning to get myself organised this weekend with food to take to work etc. I'm feeling OK actually and not as tired as I was so that's promising. I'll do my best - won't be able to stick to it religiously 'cause it just ruins your life and you get resentful. We're not machines after all!! But boy was it hard not to have a beer last night after work. Beer o'clock is out for now :( :)

Mildez, :hug: :hug: So sorry you are feeling like this. Life is cruel, that's one of the hardest things about our journeys here - it is just so damn hard sometimes, especially when there are others around us who are oblivious to what they have. And as a nurse having to care for them, that must be even harder. I hope Sept comes around quickly and you only have to do one IVF and it brings you your longed for bubba. Loosing 4 kilos is great! It's so hard to loose weight after pg and mc and IVF, it just doesn't seem to want to shift so good for you that you've lost that already!

TTCaLC - just wanted to say of course you still belong here - don't worry about things moving so fast, just pop in when you can. You've got a lot on your plate with these kids, we all understand.

Hi to everyone else - have a great weekend and hope everyone is doing OK. Crafty, we haven't heard from you in a while? MurryCod - resting up after all those bloods?

MatthewsMum - :hug:

Bye now,
Alice x

Morning ladie's
I am sorry to be a pain in the butt DH is asleep he worked all night and i have no kid's home so i am a bit lost i am loving the quiet and no housework but miss my boy's.

So i thought i'd pop in here and pester you all.

Ami-congratz on your nice dark BFP.

Loops12-there is always hope and wouldn't it be nice to have a surprise BFP when you least expect it.

Saffy-Aren't our bodies a nightmare to try and read with all the signs and symptoms of pregnancy and AF being the same it sends you around the bend i hope is was implantation spotting i myself have never had it but anything is possible.

AFM-My CBFM reading this morning was back down to a high reading so my LH line has disapeared and the estrogen line is dark as again so i can relax in the thought that we are in with a good chance i had started all my chinese herbs at the begining of my cycle so hope that helps now it is just a waiting game again
I have 13 days until i get Mowgli and AF due around then so hope i get my 2 babies at the same time.

I have raved on long enough i better go.
Have a great weekend.

Hi Everyone,
Ferrals - Enjoy the quiet in your house! I know it gets pretty boring, Im starting to clean everything in sight because i have nothing better to do! I hope your egg and Dh swimmers are doing their thang! :dance:
Alice - what is happening with your May cycle?
Ami - So glad your POAS was a dark positive, hope the HCG keeps rising for you!
Jellylove - Hope your cycle settles down into a normal one for asap, I know just how frustrating it can be, as does everyone else here!
Saffy - Have you POAS? I hope the spotting stops!
Mathewsmum - I hope the bleeding has stopped! xxx
TTCaLovechild - Let us know the results of your MRI, Good luck!
Crafty - How are you and your Cups? I read the reviews on them they sound promising!
Kitf - hope your essay goes well, I dont have the attention span to write them anymore!
Murraycod - Hugs sweety xxx
Millyd - Some ppl are idiots, I am struggling to not say something to these people, I dont think they realise how cruel and insensitive they are being. Maybe you should just tell her to F##k off, im sure you have nicer friends than that one xxx
AFM- Af is being a crampy *****, looking forward to her packing her bags and going on her merry way in a few days!
hugs to all xxx

Bons you poor darling I'm feeli'n ya, I get terrible cramping with AF, I always have had. Hoping next month is yours XXXXX

TTCALC, I am 5 1/2 hrs away from my FS.............Good luck with your court day honey, we are all barracking for you XX And hope all of your tests bring good news X

Ferrals, LMFAO at you!!!! Saw your post in the other thread, and laughed so loud!! Stalker!!!! :lol:
Have a lovely weekend honey, lets hope this TWW goes quickly for you, and is your last one for a looooooong time!XX
I have been thinking of hanging around the LTTTC thread for a few days, but just can't stand to be away from the close friendships I have made here. Esp you :hug:

Jellylove I don't blame you for wanting to BD this comming 'O' time, I hope your cycles can smooth out to some sort of normality for you, but take comfort in knowing it has happened to many of us here, so don't stress that there is anything wrong ATM XXX

Thanks for the message Alice XXXXX Yeah I am so sick of having those needles stuck in my veins, and the stupid cow yesterday, took the blood from the artery in the crease of my arm, not a vein, so I had so much trouble yesterday afternoon, my arm still aches, and I got a few bleeds on the way home, I was really worried. And after all of that, I have the biggest bruise there now, I look like a junkie.

Ami, glad to hear you got a good dark line. Keep well.

Saffy, LOL, yeah as much as I kidd myself every month into ignoring all possible signs or symptoms, i still get my hopes up....secretly....
Fingers crossed for you X

Loops honey, the first natural cycle after my IVF was a very long one, I think your body gets so beefed up with the meds, it exhausts itself and has a bit of a lazy month. So with that in mind, plus your loss, your body may very well be in a 'go slow' mood.
I am pretty sure Ferrals had a long month after her IVF stims too.

Kit, a big MWAH to you too honey, and yeah, Crafty, where are you my dear?? Knitting?;)

Hello to everybody, huggs to you all XXXXXXXXXXX

Me, more darn bloods on Monday, 'humph'.
Got some friends comming over for tea, so going to get stuck into the wine tonight!

Murrycod-he he told you if you left i would stalk you.
enjoy your wine i am jealous i wish i was there but as i am in the tww i have to be good.
And i know what you mean by not being able to move to a different thread i have made some great friendships here and it worries me what will happen when you all get your BFP and move on i will be lost without you if it weren't for you i would be a freaken nut bag.

TTCALC-you are part of the furniture here now so it doesn't matter if you can't post as often you have your hands full with kiddies.
Fingers crossed you get a BFP real soon.

Bon's- i have been visualising my egg and DH sperm doing the tango down my fallopian tube getting it on i am trying to be nice and relaxed having warm baths and just being good to myself.
Hope AF leaves real soon she is never welcome.

Loop's- murrycod is right my cycle was longer after my IVF and it took 3 cycles to get back to normal which was a pain in the butt as we were back to ttc the natural way.

Alice-hope all is well with you the waiting is awful isn't it.

Kit-how is the essay going?

Crafty-we miss you girl what's going on i know you are proberbly feeling a bit sh#tty right now but give those chinese herb's time to kick in and get working you would be in the tww wait now i hope you are keeping busy to take your mind off it.

AFM-waiting waiting waiting.

Hi Ladies

I'm new to this thread but not to this site. I usually hang out in the LTTTC assisted conception Thread.

Quick run down so far. This is my second marriage and my DH doesn't have any children. I have one of each. Any way I have PCOS and we had been trying for about 4-5 months before being diagnosed with PCOS. So off to the FS for Clomid. I did 6 rounds of clomid with no success so FS did a Lap and cycle 7 we got our BFP. And all up it took 12 months TTC.

First FS/Ob appountment at 6 weeks 2 days and we have a heart beat. Come to our next FS/Ob appontment at 10 weeks 3 days and no baby and no heart beat. Just an empty sac. So at 10 weeks and 4 days Wednesday 14/4/2010 I had a D & C.

Needless to say I'm very dissapointed, angry, heart broken etc.. I've come to accept it for what it is and I'm just waiting till my appointment with FS on the 28th so we can start 1 last clomid cycle before moving on to either IUI or IVF (DH has given me the option of IVF if I want to do that straight up instead of IUI first).

I'm shocked to say the least as it was only picked up via ultrasound. I had no bleeding or cramping to give me a clue.

So I'm wondering how long it takes for AF to come visit? I can't seem to find much info so far. FS said we could start trying straight away if we wanted to.

Just quickly before I forget - love you all, still catching up... had a computer free day or so. Arggh.

Ami - glad you got some reassurance! I am going to leave gender a sweet mystery. I want to have some sweet mysteries in life.

Be back when I have caught up. Always stuggling to keep up.
