    HI Ladies,

    Iona...sorry sweet, big hugs and I hope youre wrong xxx
    MM loving thoughts to you, hope all is great!!
    Ferrals, how you feeling, sounding good. Hopefully the phonecall to the FS and IVF ball rolling was a complete waste of energy and time
    Loops I hope you have managed a natural pg, what a blessing
    TTCALC apple pancakes and almond hersheys, girl I'm gonna need to go to the shop soon hehehe..all sounds delicious
    T hopes, I have managed to convince myself my pulse is different and then 3 seconds later convince myself its not again, my DH thinks I have gone mad
    Murraycod I'm with you, this thread needs a mass cleanout, how good would it be if we could all step aside and leave this thread to some other poor souls, or better yet, leave it empty never to be heard of again.......sigh........
    Reet, Porche, Ami, Sunbeam, Bons and all the other beauties..HI
    And Sweet Dory, blessings my love, may this be the earthly baby of your dreams, I pray you are feeling stronger today and fear has left you alone for a good while. YOu are a beautiful lady and deserve peace in your heat, as do we all...xxxxx

    AFM I am pretty sure its a no go this month, but just a 'feeling' NOt sure if its just impending doom....next month is our last try. Hubby wants to stop after that....very scared and sad that we will reach the end of our ttc journey without a beautiful bub..
    I pray...actually I beg for divine intervention, please please please let it be our month
    Love to all may sticky baby dust rain upon us all

    hahaha went a bit nuts there xxx

    Thanks Ferrals for that info! i hadnt gotten around to googling it, i dont think i need to now! just wondering what u girls wld do.. go natural and try the vitex or see my gyno and get whatever drugs he gives me?? I was thinking about getting an appointment with my naturopath instead of my gyno, but was a bit reluctant cos last time i went i walked out with $300 worth of stuff when i was feeling healthy! Not sure tho.. guess i just want whatever is going to give me results.. fast!!

    Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on how to monitor temperature. Might give it a try but off to do an OPK first as I expect 'O' by Friday. THanks also for listening to my other gripes and fears. Really appreciated.

    Crafty it really brightened my day when you said you'd had many of your babies after 35. It made me feel like i might have time not only to have another but even a third (which i really would like). At the same time, this week i've been telling myself "i can't believe it's ever going to happen again"! (Getting pregnant i mean). My brain gets very muddled.

    Sorry for lack of personals, hubby is about to wrestle me for the computer! xx to all.

    Hi guys, just stopping in briefly before I go to bed.

    AF arrived yesterday while I was in the emergency department. Was somewhat embarrassing too.
    My hip has been playing up something chronic for the past week, and yesterday it got to the point where I couldn't walk, sit down, lie down, stand up, kneel, sleep or do anything at all without being in agony and none of the pain relief we have at home was working.
    So anyway, went to emergency yesterday afternoon, saw a really nice lady doctor (Aussie too, usually we only have those foreign doctors that you can hardly understand in our local emergency department lol) and she did a few tests (first time any doctor has done those tests on my hip, and it's been 2 years exactly now since I started having trouble with it).
    So lady doctor thinks I need to see a rheumatic specialist as I don't have full feeling on one part of my front upper thigh and hip, and have quite severe pain elsewhere on my thigh, hip and lower back on the left hand side (it's the left hip that's playing up btw).
    Left there at 8:30 last night with a pack of tramadol... which seems to be working a bit (at least well enough that I can actually get to sleep at night lol).
    Booked in to see my doctor on friday (was booked in for 2 weeks time to discuss TTC and MC issues, but managed to change it to an earlier one) so I can discuss my hip & TTC/MC issues with him at the same time.

    Hope everyone is doing ok. I'm going to be taking a bit of a break from BB for the next 2 weeks until I get close to O again.

    Sending lots of sticky vibes & baby dust out to everyone!!!

    hi everyone, takes me so long to catch up but i am always on here to check out who is getting their bfps. very sorry for lack of persies, i have so much work i should be doing, i feel like i have no time.

    Reet - i would say try the vitex, it worked out really well for me. i just got the natures own PMS essentials, which is a hormone balancing formula. worked really well for me, and wasn't too expensive.

    t-hopes thanks for asking about me i do pop in here all the time but it always takes me so long to catch up i never have time for persies. I would say about the pulse thing, that is so strange. i have been noticing the past few days that my pulse in my neck really sticks out (you know on the sides). i was thinking i don't remember ever seeing this before. maybe that is why.

    jenna sorry af arrived, and hope you get your hip sorted out.

    Matthew's Mum a big for your bt tomorrow.

    Iona Macca i hope af stays away...

    to everyone in the tww good luck, and hello to all my friends, crafty (you sound like you have your positive attitude back), murraycod, ferrals (your symptoms are looking good), ttalc, and everyone else i hope you get your bfps soon!!!

    afm, not feeling so good about work tomorrow, a girl is bringing in her baby that was due the same time as me i hope i manage ok. the in-laws were supposed to be coming over from the uk this weekend, but not sure when they will come now with all the flights cancelled. other than that i am looking on the bright side. i will be 14 weeks this week. all my ultrasounds have gone well. so just trying to stay positive.

    Hi everyone,

    Jumping on quickly before bed got a busy few days ahead so not sure when I'll be back.

    MatthewsMum - fingers crossed for you lovely. Be wonderful to have you as our first BFP for this new thread.

    Ferrals - thanks for the info on Vitex. I'm going to talk to my Chinese medicine doc about it because I don't have high enough progesterone in the second part of my cycle and she thinks this is contributing to my inability to fall pg (but mainly thinks it's the blocked tube with low level infection causing embies not to stick). I'm keen to try this Vitex out - very helpful, thanks. Great work organising the IVF and knowing how these things can go, once you have plan B, bingo! plan A will work out just fine. Here's hoping. Hope the TWW goes quick, sorry about the pimples, and you must be v. excited to have Mowgli coming home soon. Gorgeous little fur baby.

    Iona-Macca - could it be implantation bleed? Hope so.

    Millyd - so sad for you with this deadline and I hope you get your BFP quick smart or your DH changes his mind. Maybe he just needs a little break? Hugs to you. That's interesting about the pulse...the Chinese doc I've just started seeing told me I had a slippery pulse last week! I'll have to ask her what she means by it (no way I can be pg as my one tube is blocked and my levels are v. low and AF due). Interesting!

    Kit - I think you'd make a great psychologist - your posts are always so thoughtful.

    T-hopes, I started to download Vampire Diaries (it was good and I liked it) but I got really hooked on True Blood and that was it, I had to see them all. I read all the books in about two weeks - they are light going and good fun and the series was great though some of the characters are better in the books. Completely different to Twilight, which I loved, and the Ann Rice vampire books but great all the same.

    Oh MurryCod, I wish I could say something reassuring about that biopsy. I'm hoping you don't find it as bad as you are fearing.

    TTCaLC - your schedule makes me tired just reading it! Fingers crossed you have a sneaky BFP, that'd be so great. Good luck with the op and glad you'll have some extra hands around to help out.

    Bons - you poor thing - I do that cleaning thing too when I'm restless. Maybe book yourself a massage or something fun?

    Loops - fingers crossed - that'd be great news. It's so frustrating waiting for AF when most of the time we can't wait to see the back of her! Hope you're in for a big surprise!!

    Reet - If you can afford it I'd see them both. It's always good to get a second opinion and they tend to balance each other but it's not easy forking out the cash for it I know. Hope the Vitex works for you - I'm keen to try it too.

    Possum - hope you get plenty of bubs to come too!

    Jenna - sorry to read about your hip, that must be agony. I hope you can get some relief from it.

    SPF - That would be hard seeing the bub on your little one's due date Ouch. Congrats on being 14wks - sounds like everything is going well but must always be a bit anxious after experiencing a loss. Stay positive

    AFM - had a good session yesterday - a different counselor but really lovely. I told her things had been a bit fraught, especially since I started this new diet (I threw a roll of toilet paper at my poor DH because he forgot to get me some soy milk which I don't even like! poor man). She said "ah yes, nutritional psychosis!" That made me laugh. I'm really glad to be going, it's just six sessions but good to have the extra support once the next cycle starts. Just waiting for AF to arrive any day now then got to take the dreaded pill for a month (hate that bit) so looking like early June by which time I'll be in here all alone 'cause you'll have all gotten your BFPs and moved on. Go on, get out of here before I throw something at you too!

    Hi girls'
    Just got home from work and popped in to see how mathews mum went on her BT but wouldn't you know it blasted pathology takes it's sweet time good luck tomorrow mathews mum you can do it i have a good feeling.

    Reet-No worries i hope it works for you to.

    SPF-i am happy for you and jealous at the same time 14 weeks how time flys i have been in here way to long all my friends have come after me and are leaving before me.

    Alice-you make me laugh! and i hope the vitex can help you to my naturopath said it is great for the 2nd half of cycle but you can take it the whole cycle to balance hormones if needed.
    And don't worry i will post pictures of Mowgli when i get him.

    That's it for me i am soooo tired i need to be up in 6 hours so need some sleep.
    Nothing much happening other than really sore boobs and some minor cramping but that can just be hormonal and the way my skin looks at the moment i'd say hormonal DH has a good feeling that this month is the month for us and i must say right now i have a good feeling i hope it last's.

    NITE NITE.

    Hi ladies! I just popped in to see how you are all doing and spread some baby dust around. I keep checking for your names in the pG announcement section. I do hope you all have some good luck really soon.

    Plodding along myself. 6 months and still feeling ill, but things are going well and only 13 more weeks to go! I really hope to see you guys in PAMCL soon.

    Good Morning Everyone!

    Alice & T-hopes: (ooh a double!) OMG I love TrueBlood! The books and the series are quite different, but I like them both. DH and I are just starting the 2nd season of TrueBlood, Eric's started heating up I really think vampires and BB is what's gonna get me through this, lol. T-hopes try it! It's a bit more adult than Vamp diaries and Twilight, but it's still a whole new world with sexy vampires (and that's what counts).

    Hi TwinSister: We were in the same belly buddies group, glad to know your going well

    TTCALC: LOL, that's really cute, matching is important. Sorry your out this month, glad you feel ok about it though, that baby will come when it's ready

    Ferrals: I hope this is the month, we need to get your ass out of here! This is the trifecta month remember! I'm glad your feeling good, hold onto that feeling!

    Alice: Thanks sweet I was reading something by the Mars and Venus guy, it was a nutritional book of some kind, and I remember he said that when women get hungry or nutritionally deprived then their serotonin drops significantly. He recommended dark chocolate with berries in it to raise it back up. Does that fit with the diet? (I have a friend who threw a pedestal fan out the window cos her DH forgot to get food for dinner and she was hungry and home late, toilet roll shows restraint)

    SPF: Thinking of you today babe, hope it goes ok *hugs*

    JennaJayen: Booo for AF! I'm sorry sweetheart! I hope your doc appt goes well and you get some answers xo

    MatthewsMum: Thinking of you today, hope you get the results! xo

    Loops: I hope tummy pains are a baby getting all snug! Fingers crossed babe

    Reet: Good luck with the vitex! I might add it to my exhaustive tablet list next month, lol.

    AFM, temping sucks, lol. My temps aren't rising yet, and I had EWCM on sun and mon, so I'm really hoping I get a massive temp rise tomorrow. Still BD'ing every night just in case. My friend had a neg HPT but is waiting on bloods, so still unknown. Not sure how I feel about it. At the moment my baby energy is taken up by wanting to know if I'm O'ing or not, come on temp rise!

    TTCALC-sorry AF turned up hopefully after surgery you will fall pregnant a.s.a.p.
    And when my kids were little i was like that dressed them in clothes that went together and had to lay them out for the next day if their father was looking after them while i was at work otherwise they would have looked like no one owned them.

    Hi twin sis.

    Kitfaerie-I want out of here every month that gos past i lose hope.
    And the tempting is a pain in the butt i do it anyway just to know for sure what my body is doing i am having a steady rise since i O'd i had dropped down to 35.5 the day before i O'd and it has risen nicely the last few days to 36.7 today i hope it hit's the 37ish mark and stays there that is what my temp gets to when i am pregnant.

    Mathewsmum-

    AFM-Murrycod you would be proud of me i made my appointment for the 26th of May with a FS at westmead hospital i could have got in this month but decided to wait until the end of May to give it the full 6 month's ttc at least we have a plan if we cant get pregnant ourselves.
    I still feel like a failure when i have always fallen pregnant so easy i am not liking it to much but i have no other choice.
