girls - ive got everything on my body crossed for you all. I hope to see HEAPS of BFP all. IM sittin back and waiting for AF to come back...over 7 weeks now.. no happy JAN!
Have a fantastic weekend of baby making ;)
xxmaz
Just a quick note girls... Have a happy Sunday.
I am plodding along. I have a cold at the moment. The temping downstairs is so much better than last month. My temp has gone up .1 today but I put that down to my cold. I am coming up to fertilty time of the month soon so I am remaining positive. I have given up coffee and alcohol and will see what happens.
Spreading the love to all for the next week.:grouphug:
Hi everyone - seems like everyone is waiting to O, or in the TWW!
I've been laid flat by a migraine the past 2 days. Otherwise crusing along, trying not to think about it. Have had some symptoms, but most can be explained away (eg I've been funny about smells the last couple of days, but that could have been due to the headaches). Fingers crossed for more BFPs!
Hi all,
jenjams - well done for giving up coffee and alcohol. I found giving up coffee easy at first (I did it several months ago) but now I find I crave it every now and then. When I really crave it I have a hot chocolate instead and that seems to work well.
sallyj - Fingers crossed for a BFP for you in a few days.
:)
Well FF gave me back my coverline on CD13 as expected so I'm now 3DPO. Now the hard part starts.... the waiting and the trying not to test.
satya the things we do on FF hey, we are officially cycle buddies, as predicted FF moved O day forward to cd 15 after I put in today's temp. As for the scrapbooking weekends, I go on at least 1 a year, I normally go on a Friday night but DH didn't think I NEEDED to go for 2 night. I have the LC 10 mui tests (4 actually) and it is going to kill me to wait till 14 dpo
zionsmom thanks for your positive thoughts, I know it will be our turns soon, just wish it didn't have to take too damn long.
maz 7 weeks, that would be so damn frustrating, praying that AF comes for you soon.
jenjams I just can't give up my morning coffee, I only ever have 1 a day, but when I am pg I usually go off it anyway so good on you for giving it up now.
SallyJ that's a pretty big spike you had this morning, hope you get your bfp
Well ladies I had an absolutely fantastic weekend away, even though it wasn't long enough. When I rang my friend to say that I had arrived at the retreat she went running through the area we scrap in screaming "she's here, she's here, my bestest buddies here" I love her to death, she was my rock after my m/c. There is a group of 4 of us who get on fabulously, and have so many laughs, wet your pants kind of laughs (literally for those of us who have had kids LOL) we played silly games during the night, including musical chairs, and my bf and I sang along to many a Robbie Williams song. We finally decided we better go to bed when we heard a rooster in the distance crowing and realised it was 4.30 am. I can't wait till my next retreat in August!
No symptoms for me, although I wouldn't expect any at 3dpo. Nighty night, think I better go to bed and try and catch up on some sleep.
Sounds like a great retreat Sharon.
My words yesterday of my chart behaving itself have gone today. I had a big temp dip but I still have this head cold... maybe that affected it... Hope so. Anyway I will just start the BD this week and see what happens. I really hope everyone in here has BFPs this month. I am sure we are all over being in this thread.
Happy week to all.
jenjams when do you normally O, if you normally O later maybe you are going to O early this cycle, I suppose if it was me I would be making sure I got a bd in tonight, good luck and I hope that your temps behaving the way they are supposed to. As for us all being over having to be in this thread, I have to agree with you 100% there.
Hi girls,
Sharon - sounds like you had a great weekend! That sounds like lots of fun.
jenjams - good on you for giving up alcohol and caffeine. I figure it can only be good, so if you can do it, why not? I have given up coffee and now I only drink decaff tea, and I don't drink much alcohol, other than a half glass every now and then. It's hard giving things up as we have no idea how long we will be on this ride for, and you don't want to miss out on too much in the meantime!
maz - you must be getting so sick of the wait. I hope AF comes soon!
zionsmum - thanks for your telling us to stay positive. I needed that today!
Leyla - looking at your chart I think you could be having an annovulatory cycle too. You are not being overly dramatic - this is a hard road, and we all understand. And IT WILL happen for you, it is just obviously going to make you wait, but don't lose hope :hug:
Salt - I am glad your OB is taking you seriously and is willing to see you in three cycles if you haven't conceived. Sometimes it feels like they don't understand our sense of urgency, but that's great that he will do something for you quickly if it becomes necessary. Hopefully it won't though and you will be UTD in no time at all now that the nasty clot has been taken care of!
My injections are finally over, and my pg BT is tomorrow. I am too scared to even go to get it done, and am considering just not going, but I know I have to. I hate the wait for them to phone with the results, and I get really nervous and anxious. I thought I might just take the day off, as I can't work in that state anyway, but now it looks like I will have to be at work to take care of an urgent matter, as I will be at a seminar the following day. So, I am not quite sure how I will get through the day with my sanity intact - it has taken enough of a battering lately! I also had to sit through dinner last night listening to my idiot BIL who has never had a hard day in his life prattle on about how depression is just in peoples heads and they should 'toughen up'. I had to leave the table, the guy is a ********. I would like to see him go through 2 m/cs in a row and not suffer depression, not to mention all the other terrible things that can happen in life to bring on depression, he is just one of the lucky ones who has only ever had things go his way, so his view on life is a little skewed at the best of times. It was obvious to everyone else at the table that I have been pretty depressed lately (not to mention my other BIL who was there and has suffered from depression his entire life), and that perhaps it would be a good idea if he shut up. The guy is just too arrogant and too much of an idiot to ever consider someones feelings other than his own.
Sorry for the rant, but it all has me a bit down today.
Hi to everyone else, and I hope you all have a lovely day.
Wishing you the very very best for tomorrow Bun. I really hope you get the positive results you are so deserving of. Hope you can get through the next few busy days at work too.
Good luck tomorrow Bun and I hear you on the BIL mine is just as much of an idiot as well sometimes I wonder what my sister sees in him - no one else can!
Well I am officially late now but still no symptoms and the anxiety is starting to make me a bit numb emotionally I guess I can only get better each day
IM thinking of you tomorrow bun..good luck honey
Good luck tomorrow Bun!
Sarah I know it's hard but try not to worry too much.
Jenjams, hope you are feeling better.
Satya, hope you get the pot of gold at your rainbow!
I'm thinking of testing tomorrow unless I get a temp drop. All signs seem good (although somehow I don't feel lucky this month).
Good luck tomorrow Bun - I will be thinking of you... :hug:
Just popped in to say 'Good Luck Bun':goodluck: , may all the good news in the world be yours tomorrow (the rest of us can wait a day!!)
(PS I have a BIL that even my DH won't acknowledge coz he's such a ******!!!)
Love Alex
xx
Bun - good luck for tomorrow! Thinking of you :)
OH Sally - do honey, test, if you feel that the signs are good. Ive got everything crossed for you. Maybe I should go and get some tests later.
Hello ladies,
I'm keeping up with everyone's progress and can't wait to hear about some healthy pregnancies in the next couple of days!
I am still waiting for the final autopsy results from my baby boy, and am meant to get them this week. I am hoping they have found something, an infection or the like, that may tell us why an apparently healthy full term baby dies at 18 hours old. It's so heartbreaking. I miss him beyond words.
I went for my postnatal check up last week with a new doctor and he has taken blood tests on me, to rule out anything there, but tells me he's "not expecting to find anything wrong".
After reading about you lovely ladies and largely it being miscarriages that have taken away your babies - it really scares me to think that even a healthy pregnancy and good delivery, that our babies can still die. I apologise if that sounds negative - it's just that if I have another baby - well, when will I feel "safe" - simple answer is I won't, and I'll be monitoring this baby constantly. Anyway, take heart in that what happened to my baby boy is exceptionally rare, and the doctor here told me he has not seen a SIDS type case for about 7 years.
I'll let you all know if they find any answers for me.
On a more positive note. It's 8.5 weeks since my baby died. I had a light period 6 weeks later. As I have become totally keen to get pregnant again, I brought some OPKs off the Internet and last week I started using them daily. I got a positive result on Wednesday - a strong line, and another on Thursday, and a faint one on Friday - so I'm guessing I must have ovulated on Wed or Thurs? Anyway, we DTD a few times before and around those days. And now - I'm about 4-5 DPO and I have to say yesterday and today my breasts are sore and nipples are tingling, and I've been windy with a few crampy type twitches in the tummy area. I guess it's way too soon to test, but I think I'd be pretty lucky to have fallen pregnant again the first cycle after giving birth.
Can you ladies tell me how soon do you think I can test? How many DPO?
Hope you all had a great weekend!
Lee x
Oh Lee - I hope that the Autopsy can give you a little closure on the why questions. I cant personally relate to loosing a child at that stage but my god woman you must be strong. I thank you for being so open with us again in such a sad time. Im sur eyou could test now. I hope you get a BFP honey
Hi everyone,
Sharon - glad you had a great weekend away. Now the wait starts.
Jenjams - hope you get over that cold soon.
Bun - Your BIL sounds like a complete and utter idiot. Good luck with the BT tomorrow. I know you are going to be a bundle of nerves. There's a very good chance that you are going to get a good result so try not to worry too much about it.
Sarah - How exciting that you are late. When are you going to test?
Sally - good luck with your test tomorrow.
Lee - I hope the autopsy results give you some peace of mind. Your symptoms sound very promising... I hope some good news is on it's way for you.
Salt - good luck with the BD plan - you sound very organised.
:)
Well I've just entered that stage again where I start to imagine I have pg symptoms. I'm only 4DPO so that's not even possible, but already I have had some indigestion, tender BB's and I have some serious blue veins on them - right up to my shoulders. Have to keep reminding myself that it's probably all in my head again.... like last month. I really felt I could be pg for a few days before my "symptoms" just went away. The mind is a very powerful thing, if only I could learn to control it better. It doesn't help when you hear about this secret thing where they say you should think you are the way you want to be.... that doesn't help in this situation.... just makes you crazy.
I just want this week to hurry up and be over. I have my CD21 test on Friday (and of course I will have to wait ages for the result I'm sure), my mum is having surgery on Friday & then of course there is mothers day to contend with too. My partner also lost his job today so I'm stressing majorly. Next week has to be a better week.
Bun glad to hear that the injections are finally over, and it's awful that you can't take tomorrow off from work, but hopefully you will be really busy (just enough so that you don't have time to think about waiting for your results) I really hope you get some good news tomorrow :hug: GOOD LUCK sweetie. Also my 18 year old son has just been diagnosed with depression and I hate to say it but my husband needs to do some serious reading to truly understand what depression is, and that you can't just change your whole attitude overnight after having a few psychologist appointments.
sarah066 just remember hun that not everyone gets symptoms straight away, even if you did previously, doesn't mean you will this time :hug: for you too.
SallyJ please test tomorrow (I need to test through someone since I have banned myself from testing till thursday next week) I hope you get your bfp, and I know I am only 4 dpo but just have this gut feeling that I am not pg.
Lee I really do hope the autopsy gives you closure, and also you are a very brave and strong woman and really do hope that you manage to get pg this cycle.
saltprincess I really don't know what I would have done without my friend when I had my m/c. Sorry to hear that you are breaking ties with one of yours, good friends are so hard to come by, good luck with your opk'ing and bd'ing. I have to tell you that I don't know how long I will be able to keep from testing (I have normally started around CD 9 or 10) starts chanting *must not test, must not test, must be strong, must be strong* LOL
satya I am trying so hard to not even think about pregnancy symptoms but I know that they are just gonna keep popping into my head when I least expect it. Good luck with your CD 21 test, and also I hope your DH manages to secure himself another job really soon.
Not much happening with me, trying very hard not to imagine symptoms but I know that won't last very long.
Well gotta go, have to pick ds up from his friends place, may get a chance to BBL
Hi everyone,
Struggling with the whole symptom thing. I got out of bed last night to use loo and almost threw up. Spent the next hour or so laying still as I felt off whenever I moved. Trying not to think anything of it but the only time I've felt like this have been when I was pg recently, mid wk 3 of my last cyle and now. I never get nausea any other time. Probably all in my mind, but it's hard to keep convincing myself of that.
looks like my stay here might be shortened ;) girls
Here fingers and toes crossed.
WHHHAAATTTTTT?????????
You can't leave it like that.....spill the beans Mazzy!!!!
OK OK...but shhhhhhhhh
did a HPT yesterday after having a VERY emotional week. Jed came home and said go buy 2 cause I cant handle your moods at the moment. Wee on th e stick type. HMMMMM got a bit 'happy' as wee'ed to much so pulled apart test to find a 2 pink lines, one faint, the other darker. hmmmmmm waited until this morning and collected wee in container thts 7.30am wee not 3am wee. Put test in and got slightly darker double lines. NOt taking it as a BFP or BFN yet...I dont trust these things after the other week. BUT im going to do another on friday then if that comes up BFP im off to the doctors.
FIngers and flaps crossed.
Delay in replying, been on school run!!!
WAYHAY!! It's sounding good - have you still got the symptoms, the headache, the pukey stuff and bbs??
PS Can't cross anything in case we need to DTD!!!
Luv ya, keep us posted!
Alex

Maz - Wow your tests sound promising. All the best and hope to see in PAML thread.
Bun - How you going?
Hi everyone else hope you are all doing really well.
SP - Your bding plan sounds good, fingers crossed you catch an egg.
Way to go Maz!
Bun - hope your results are postive too!
Hi to all the other ladies - have been reading up on you all!!
stupid thing is...I have no idea when I'll be due?????????
Hi guys and thank you all so much for your thoughts.
Well, I just got my results back and after all that, I am not pg this cycle. Doesn't surprise me at all with my luck - every other cycle we have tried we have fallen and lost it, but the one cycle when the dr finally listens to me and gives me treatment to keep a pg, and I have to inject myself every three days, we don't manage to fall pg. That'd be right, hey?
Anyway, now the plan is clomid, so it is not all bad, I am just getting so sick of this. I honestly don't know if I can do it much longer. I am stuck at work and can't leave early, and I haven't been able to get through to DH. Apparently AF should come in a couple of days, so then I start cycle tracking yet again and start taking the clomid. Some days I really don't think it will ever happen, and I am sick of death of all this. I don't know if it is even what I want anymore.
Sorry for such a selfish post guys.
Maz - congrats!!
Bun xx
Oh Bun, I am so sorry this is not your month - I don't know what to say because I can hear how down you sound and we can see how unfair it is - and I know nothing will make it right - but at least the clomid is a plan and a strong step forward.
Hope you get through to DH soon and he can give you a big hug IRL, as we'd all like to do
Love Alex
xxx
Big hugs Bun - i'm so very sorry :hugs:
Congratulations again, Maz!! Your news has cheered me up greatly today. :dance:
Hi everybody... If all goes well later this month and if I have the courage, I hope to be joining you again on the TTC trail with all its highs and lows, trials and tribulations. Sending lots of hugs to everyone xoxoxo
Bun so sorry, take time to yourself and rest and then work on next cycle - hopefully the clomid will work its magic for you.
Maz, wow that was short, congratulations!
Satya, hope those symptoms add up to a BFP!
Sharon, sorry to hear about your son, hope he is getting the help he needs. gload you are testing, I am sorry I tested this morning (BFN!) The thing with the pg symptoms, they come when you're not looking for them.
Salt - plan looks good, :fingerscrossed:
Lee, I don't know what to say, I hope the autopsy brings some answers. :hug:
Hi to anyone I've missed.
My temp had a little drop this morning - though I took it an hour early (DS woke up at 5am calling for ventilator, so I put thermometer in to take temp before going to him (he wasn't in desperate need, I'm not that bad a mum!) but then DH got up - well I had already started taking the temp, so I had to persist (it's mercury, not digital). DD had already climbed in bed too, so I left it next to bed to look at when I got up. Anyway I did not look at temp till 6am, and it was a bit lower than I'd hoped, I got FF to adjust it but am taking heart in the unreliability of the temp in the circumstances. Plus I've just been looking at the FF chart gallery, and there are heaps of pg charts with drops worse than mine. And my BFN was with Crystal Clear, which is probably 25 miu so a little early with that brand anyway.
Hi Ladies,
Maz - YAY!!! Very exciting stuff. Two lines = BFP!!!
Bun - So sorry this cycle did not work out for you. That really sucks! I hope you don't beat yourself up about it too much. So many things have to go right to get a BFP, if only it were more simple. I hope that the clomid works out for you next cycle... at least it will be cheaper.
Kerry - SOOOOOOOO sad to see you back here. I hope that you are doing ok.
Satya - Things are starting to sound very good. I'm keeping things crossed for you!
Big hello to everyone else, and thanks to all the girls who looked at my chart, I think you are all right, no ovulation for me. I'm now CD31 with no clear pattern. I did consider that my thermometer might bet getting flat, but that is just wishful thinking!
I have a question for anyone who might know, sorry it is probably going to be TMI... Twice in the last 2 weeks I have done a number 2 and had quite a bit of fresh blood. Have not had much pain, but have been a little constipated. I am taking Elevit and was wondering if it might be related to this. Before I started taking it I have neved been constipated in my life, and have always had really healthy movements. If it happens again I will go to the doc for sure, but just wanted to ask if anyone has heard of this happening before while taking Elevit. Sorry if this is TMI!
love
Leyla- Maybe its a haemorroid? They are quite common.
So sorry to hear you are back here Kerry.
Damn bun but as Salt said, maybe the injections are just the warm up round. You will finally be on clomid and hopefully that will be your turn.
great news maz. I hope to see you soon in the PAML thread.
I hope everyone else is getting along ok this evening. As for me I am still plodding along with this damn cold. My temp went up a little again this morning. I am still not expecting to O for another week or so but have been putting in a BD every now and then to try and cover all bases. I guess I will hope everything is good this month
Isnt it funny that our gut instincts are normally correct. lets everyone have good gut instincts for a change.
Hi everyone,
Sally J - hopefully you just tested too early.
Maz - congrats on the BFP Sending you heaps of :stickyvibesgirl:
Leyla - I know nothing about taking elevit but you should not have blood when doing that so regardless I'd be talking to your gp about it.
Bun - I'm so sorry it wasn't a BFP for you this cycle. Try to keep positive as negative thoughts never get us anywhere. Sometimes our road to TTC is a long, hard one but the result will be worth it in the end.
:redface:
Nothing much to report with me. My BBs don't looks so blue now, no more nausea. BBs slightly achey but that's probably just my imagination. The mood swings have kicked in again. I've been crying at the drop of a hat - including twice during the logies the other night of all things and I kept getting angry at work today.... over the tiniest of things. I also had a huge raise in temp today .6. On a brighter note I ordered some tests from LC so at least I will be free to test away should I feel the need next week.
Bun - :hug: lots and lots of these for you :(
Maz - woohoo...looking good!!! Keep us posted!
satya - fingers crossed sweet! I hope they are real symptoms of what is to come!
leyla - sounds like a haemorroid (sp?) to me, I get them if I start taking a new drug/vitamen. Usually settles in a few days. If it keeps going or you are worried, see your doctor.
jenjams - sounds like you are covering your days well, good luck!
Sharon - how are you going???
Hi to everyone else :)
I've had a very down week re: ttc, so even though I'm all set with my script, I'm not going to cycle this month. I don't think I'd cope this soon if anything went wrong again, it's only been 6 weeks...so we thought we might wait until next month and just have a few weeks off. Just booked a trip to Lake Mountain to take DS to the snow, having a weekend to either Echuca or Ballarat and just going to enjoy 'us' for the next few weeks and tackle it again when I'm feeling a little more stable.
oh Bun honey - im sorry this month didnt end up being your month. Big hugs.
I want to say thank you all for your support over the last few weeks. Its been very positive and i think, it helped me heaps move on from my m/c. im looking forward to having a long pg (mine are always eventful PMSL). Will keep you all informed and I want to see heaps more of us become pg in th enext few weeks. Sending you all positvie vibes
I suppose I better go and announce it now...
MAUW
maz woohoo, that is great news. :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl:
Bun I am so very sorry it didn't work cycle, and you have every right to feel disheartened, it's just not fair. Hopefully in a few days you will feel a little better, and then you can start on the clomid and with a bit of luck that will work for you. :hugs:
kbowman sending you heaps of :hugs:
SallyJ the last 2 mornings I have been feeling a little 'off' but i know that it is just too early to be getting any real pgncy symptoms.
Leyla I have heard about a few women getting constipated while taking elevit so maybe it is having the same effect on you.
jenjams good luck catching your egg, and a good idea to bd just in case since my last 2 cycles I have O'd about a week earlier and if I hadn't been in tune with my body we would have missed our opportunity.
satya I hear you on the mood swings, I was a bit of a "snappy tom" with Jordan this morning.
*las* I am going fine thanks, just waiting to test FF says I can test on Tuesday, so only 6 more days to go. Good on you for taking you time and just enjoying your family for a little while it might be just the thing you need.
