Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss - August 2006 #2

Jayne, I am thinking of you, and sending you all the good wishes in the world. Please let us know how you are.....

Hi Ladies,

Awww shucks you all make me feel so special and wanted and cared for.

Bubs is doing beautifully inside my tummy, all tucked up there and moving about a fair bit. I saw him/her kick its legs around and that was awesome. Had some trouble finding the hb on the doppler in the surgery so I started breathing really hard & heavy with fear and the Dr was saying stop breathing and I'm begging him to find the hb NOW! He took me off for a little scan and everything was great inside. Bubs is now measuring 11w0d and from the last scan I should have been 10w3d so I'm quite happy to be a few more days infront! Jessica has a picture (although I won't let her hold it because she'll scrunch it up) and she told Daddy she saw mummy's baby on the *teewee*. Very cute. She said 'Hello Doc Doc Lolly Please' and held out her hand when she seen him! :eek: I was so embarrassed!

Anyway, thank you all soooooooo very much for posting about me and I'm so incredibly sorry to keep you waiting for so long. I got home about 6:45 and then with dinner & everything it's been go go go and DH didn't roll in until 7:15pm.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I REALLY, REALLY MEAN IT!

Love Jayne & Bubs xx

I'm so happy fo you Jayne! That's great news!!!! :happyforyou:

Oh Thanks for posting Jayne...I am so so so pleased that everything was ok, you really had me worried there, i kept saying to my Dh - she should have posted by now lol and kept coming in to check - but just a huge big YAY for everything being good and them putting your dates forward again, I can go to bed now lol Sleep well and yay again! Love Sarah xx

OK - now I can go to bed!!!!! Just waiting for Miss Jayne to confirm that all is well in the land of baby before doing that and now I know you are fine :asleep:

;) I'll chat to you all in the morning. Going back to acupuncture tomorrow so :crossfingers:

Jayne, that's fantastic news!!! I've been waiting to hear from you, congratulations!! Reading your message bought tears to my eyes - it's just wonderful news and Jessica sounds so gorgeous - I love it!!

Hope everyone else is doing well. I've decided that at the very least, I have to make myself wait until the weekend before testing!! I'm still feeling crampy and don't know whether it's just af arriving or something else - it's driving me mad!! I remember feeling like af was going to arrive last time and then when it didn't, I tested, so I'm desperately praying that that's the case again this time. I can't help but think that I'm just wishing for it too much though.

I'll keep :pray: and keep my fingers crossed though and let you know how I progress. Actually, one quick question - what's the norm for CM around the time of af?? I so don't get the whole CM thing but I've noticed today that if anything, it's almost like it should be around the time of O - very confusing. I thought it was supposed to dry up closer to af?? I hope it's a good sign!

There is some belief that increased CM prior to AF is a good sign so :crossfingers:

I'm out again...... spotting this morning which I think will develop.

Funny thing is, my temp actually went up... go figure.

We're out now for a few months as with my cycles we would end up with mid to late June or July babies..... and Amy was due 9 July.... I just can't do it.

If your temp has gone up Kristy it may be an implantation bleed.

Jayne, so glad your bubby is doing well in mummy's tum :D Congrats... Jess is sooo cute!! LOL

Kristy, I am sorry about the spotting :( I hope AF stays away...

Kell, I hope the CM is a good sign. I have to admit that just before AF I get watery CM and my cervix opens a little. I hope in your case it isn't a sign of AF. Fingers crossed.

Michelle, I hope the acupuncture session goes well :)

Sarah, I am trying to hang out a while till I test. I only have a couple of 20mIU tests, so I don't want to test too early... Also I want to wait until our Japanese visitor has left... so maybe Saturday... dunno

Anyway... 7dpo and I am starting to over analyse every little thing my body does...lol. I had a really stuffy nose last nightso of course I took more notice of because of the tww :rolleyes: Lets hope I can keep myself busy over the next few days...

When is everyone else due to test??

Tanya

Good morning lovelies!

Firstly, Jayne I just want to say how absolutely thrilled I am for you! I was thinking of you all night but couldn't get on until this morning to check how your appointment went. I am so so happy for you, sweetie. Now relax and enjoy every single moment of your pregnancy...that's an order!!! :D BTW, Jessica sounds absolutely adorable!

Lisa, you sound so positive about TTC again, honey...that's great! LOL @ having to take the herbs with vodka!! It's great that your DH is just as excited about taking the herbs as you are...certainly helps to have such wonderful support. It sounds like you're really on to a winner with this fertility lady. You'll be pg in no time at all!

Kelly, good on you for holding out until the weekend before testing. It's so hard to resist the temptation to test, huh! Yes, some women find their CM dries up before AF. Here's hoping that the extra CM is a good sign for you!

Kate, sorry to hear things are still cr*ppy at work. Don't you hate office politics! It's so unfair that you're being blamed for something that you didn't do. Is there a manager or someone you can speak to? I bet you can't wait for your mini trip to Melbourne this weekend!

Michelle, love the ticker! Now we can all keep up with your cycles!

Shell, we always have fun on the Gold Coast. I've never been to any of the theme parks up there but I told DH that we're definitely taking our kids there! Looks like so much fun! Oooh, I'm keeping everything crossed that you're giving your DH a lovely birthday surprise today!!!

Sarah, I think you would be a great representative for Sids and Kids. Your posts are always beautifully and thoughtfully written and I just know that you'd be able to offer support to families in need. Go for it, girl! Sorry the TWW is dragging on for you. Here's hoping that this will be your first and last month of TTC because it ends in a BFP!

Sez, that's great you got so much support when you had the m/c...I was lucky enough to have the same. So that's why I have no hesitation in telling people when I fall pg again. Last time we kept it a complete secret that we were TTC but unfortunately everyone will know this time around. I'm just waiting for the 'so are you pg yet' comments to start!

Beccy, you're such a sweetie popping in to see us all! I love seeing your ticker moving along every week...how time flies! Your precious bundle will be here in no time :babyneutral:

Kristy, if your temp has gone up again then you're not out of the game yet, honey. I hope it's just implantation...

Hello to everyone else I've missed!

I tried out my first OPK yesterday and it came up with a very very faint second line, so I assume I'll be O'ing towards the end of the week. Although when I put my temp into my FF chart this morning, it put in a dotted line to say I O'ed a few days ago! :doh: I know that that's impossible as I was only on CD9 then. Stupid computer program!!! LOL

Have a fabulous day everyone!

Love
Belle
-xxxooo-

Morning all...

How is everyone today?

Jayne...like belle said...enjoy your pregnancy, that's an order! :p I'm so glad things have worked out.

This is just a short one, so I'm going to forgo the personals for the time being. I love you all, I really do...I just have to be quick here at the office b/c we are being monitored on our internet use since our drama last week.

Me...cycle day 7. Can this month just go extra fast please??? I'm being impatient...and I want it (BFP) NOW!!! :rolleyes:

Much love and hugs,

Kate x.

Morning sweets,

Jayne - yipeeee on bubba being nice and healthy and growing strong!! Im so glad all is well, and we all here want nothing more than you to be holding your newborn safely in your arms in March sometime :)

Michelle - Caitlyns urn sounds so beautiful and if people cant appreciate thats your baby and you like having her close by, thats just tough titties for them I say and you are right, they dont have to come and visit. I think its beautiful you keep her close to you. I hope she will send you a blessing from above soon my friend.

Belle - oooh you sure are going to get that bfp this month, your exploding with excitiment. Keep POAS until you get a nice strong second like on the opk, and then in no time you will be having a bfp of your very own!

Sarah - you are so sweet, and IKWYM about travelling and going to a concert if you at similar gestation as you were with Katelyn. Its hard to do the 'same' things again, so if it makes you feel safer then please dont go.

Kelly - oooh hun, sounds good I really hope that this is it for you matey! When are you testing?

kate - only a few days to go..are you having any symptoms? I know I always have "imaginary" symptoms at that time LOL! Well I hope you have real pg symptoms soon sweety! And dont let that work thing get to you too much hun.

Tanya - IKWYM about over analysing every little thing! Good idea to try and keep busy and get your mind off it.

Sez, I agree that without all the support, it would have been so hard to get through, but this time I wont be telling anyone (except my bb pals of course!) until I have had at least one early scan to confirm things are all okay. Good luck sweets, I hope its a bfp for you too this month!!

Keen - I hope af has been kind is now ready to leave so you can start your journey again babe. Sending you loads and loads of positive conception vibes.

Shell - oh sweety I really hope you can give dh a nice bfp on a stick! I know mine would like nothing better. You can wrap it with pink and blue bows. A friend of mine did that to her dh for Valentines day this year, and he opened the box and had no idea what he was looking at. He stared at her for a few minutes thinking WTF? She soon realised he had no clue and had to tell him it was hpt and it was +ve. LOL men are so funny at times.

I hope I didnt miss anyone, oh its oh so many to catch up with!

well me - still taking all those yummy :rolleyes: herbs! Yes its so great that dh is right into this. Im going for another round of accupuncture tomorrow. We went to visit our friends (who used the same NP and have a 7 month old son now!) and they are starting to ttc #2, well were just chatting and I told them the np said it should take around 3 months to get my bfp, so were trying to figure out if that happened, then what would the due date be - so it worked out to be August 19th - she looked at me and dropped the calendar and said 'OMG thats today's date!", hoping it was some kind of freaky sign!!

On a sad note though, my bf is pg (should be 8wks 2 days now), but bubs is coming in at 7wks and looks like its a case of slow foetal development, the gestational sac however is measuring at more and the dr is concerned its too big for a bub of that size. She has had spotting now for a few days, and the heartbeat was quite faint. She also has a cyst the size of an orange which will have to be removed at 16wks. she is due for another scan this week to check on bubs, and she is so worried. Im out of my head with worry for her, so cmon girls help me pray for her little bub :pray: :pray:

Hope you all have a great day,
baby dust and sticky vibes to all
Lisa

sorry, will do some personals later....

AF is definately here.... stupid body, sick and tired of working it out.

I'm just feeling like a complete failure. Couldn't get things right with our first baby and now we can't even conceive another one...... Feeling so down today :(

Hi Girls,

Jayne, Im so glad that all is ok with the little bean, I told you so, but i do know what its like, all of us now in this thread will now not be able to enjoy our pregnancies to the full as we know what its like to experience a loss, its hard and we are on tender hooks the whole time waiting for it to happen again, rest assured now that bub's is healthy and growing stronger by the day!!!

Lisa, awww :hug: for you bf, what a sad & worrying time it must be for her right now,she is lucky to have you there as a bf to help her through it, keep chugging down those herbs girly!!!

Kristy, so sorry AF has arrived for you, will be keeping my fingers crossed for you next cycle!!

Well i don't get to wrap up a pee stick for DH for his birthday ( unless he wants to see a BFN!) im hoping its early as im having the strongest vibes that i am, just going by my mega sore boobs, feeling waves on nausea at times aswell as mild waves of af cramping and heaps of creamy cm, you guys are the only ones i have told that i feel this way as im sick of getting everyone's hopes up in my family, so just had to let out my symptoms, but they could be all in my imagination!!! Will just have to wait and see!!! :pray:

Oh Kristy,

So sorry af arrived for you hun. I hope she is kind to you this month, and then disappears for the next 10! You are not a failure - do you hear me? You are a truly strong and amazing woman who has been through and withstood so much. We are the women who will be blessed with angels in heaven and babies here on earth. Sometimes we must experience the worst pain before we can have true happiness. Such is our fate. Together we will all get through this and have our very own sweet bundles of joy to bring that happiness and fulfilment into our lives. Until then, please find comfort in knowing that you are not alone and you can come here and vent and cry and all the other things you need to do.

Sending loads of :hug: your way

take care of yourself hun,

Lisa

Hi Ladies,

I'll do personals a bit later on because I have a snuggle-bug curled up on my lap and it's quite difficult to type atm!

But I wanted to express a HUGE thankyou to everybody who asked about me yesterday and those who even stayed up late last night to receive my post. You have no idea how special that made me feel and how cared for. I'm truly blessed to have you ladies a part of my life. I'm so grateful that bubs was happily going about his/her business, completely unawares of the stress it had placed on my head and heart in the last couple of days!

I'll drop back in later to do some personals while Miss Madam is asleep.

Love to you all.

Jayne

Hi Shell,
Keeping my fingers crossed for you matey. Your symptoms sound good, and im sure they are NOT in your head cause you have a little bean growing inside. Im praying for you too. IKWYM about not saying anything to anyone but us. I think we are all the same in that respect!

Sending loads of pg vibes your way...

Lisa

Hey Ladies,

Shell - The creamy CM is a good sign as far I can see. I have had creamy CM the whole way through and it's only just stopped. If I didn't know I was pg, I'd think I was O'ing the whole time through! I know somebody else was posting about the same thing yesterday. I"m so hoping that it is too early to test, don't have a drink tonight JIC!

Lisa - I've been thinking about you & your gf. I'm so sorry she's going through this. I don't want to make you even more upset, but when I had the first lot of spotting 4 weeks ago, one of the things that the sonographer checked was that the sac & the bubs were matching in their gestational age. She said sometimes bubs stops growing, but the sac continues to mature. I"m really hoping that all works out well for your gf. I'm sure she realises what a support you've been to her and that she's very grateful. It could be that bubs is curled up really tight, because at this stage, you can't really identify much on the scan except for the shadow which is bubs and the flicker of the heartbeat. :hug:

Saph - Listen here lady *very stern face right now* you are NOT a failure and I don't like hearing you talk this way! You're one truly inspirational woman and I know it feels as though things aren't happening atm but I think you might have placed too much on yourself. You have said you'll stop TTC for a few months so that you wouldn't be due around Amy's EDD, so you must have put an enormous amount of pressure on yourself to be pg before now. Maybe that's why things haven't turned out how you wanted? You're such a wonderful person and it's not your fault that Amy has grown wings, maybe look at it as though Amy was much too good for this world and was called to a greater place?

Belle - I used to always get a faint second line on the OPK's and it seriously messes with your head. Keep up the testing every day and the line should get REALLY dark and that's your green light girl!!!

Tanya - How long are you going to hold out until you test? I"m really hoping for you sweets!

Sarah - Sorry for keeping you up last night honey! I'm sure you DH understands! PMSL!

Kelly - As I wrote to Shell, I got the increased CM right before I found out I was pg and it's only just starting to stop. It's like I was coming up to O allllllll the time! I'm really hoping this is what's happening with you too!

Me - WEll I have been a busy girl, mopped, swept and vacuumed the whole house, tidied up Jessica's toys for the 5th time today, done some washing and wiped over all the bench tops! I'm going to go and light my candles now and chill out.

Love ME

Hi Everyone!!

I hope all is wonderfully well. I'm going to try and do some personals, so here goes!!

Kristy - I'm so sorry to hear af arrived :( I know it's hard and feel free to vent as much as you like. That's what we're here for. Sending lots and lots of very big :hug: your way!

Shell - Stay positive honey, things are sounding really great for you this month!! I'm praying for a BFP really, really soon. I know how you feel about getting people's hopes up. I'm secretly feeling a little positive about things this month too but don't want to say anything and get everyone's hopes up (including my own). I am feeling a bit nauseous, crampy and tired but it might just all be in my head. I just feel a little 'different'. It's all too much!!

Jayne - You're so welcome, that's what we're here for and we all completely understand how you must have been feeling yesterday. Take care!

Lisa - You and your herbs make me laugh everytime!! I love that your DH is so into it all - it's just beautiful and all sounds so positive. I'm sure you'll get that BFP before you know it!! I'm so sorry to hear about your bf though. My thoughts are with the both of you. I'll keep :pray:

Belle - Best of luck this month - I hope you work out the OPK's and your temperature - it does all sound a bit confusing!! I'm sure you'll get the two lines very soon - then enjoy all the BD'ing!!

Michelle - Good on you regarding Caitlyn's urn - it sounds beautiful and I'm a strong believer in doing whatever makes YOU feel better during difficult times and if people don't like it or can't appreciate it, then that's their problem!! I hope you've started feeling better too!!

Sarah - Hows the tww going? I'm finding it really hard and have only just started really getting back into it too!!

Kate - How are you going? I hope work's not getting to you too much!! I'm so with you in regards to the month going fast - best of luck for the BFP and the big O!! I hope you catch the little egg this month!!

Sez - I've completely lost track of where you're at and how it's all going???

Beccy - Thanks for your message and take care!! I hope all is going well and I sooo hope that some of us join you in the PAML thread SOON!!

Tanya - I'm with you in trying to hold off as long as possible to test but will probably do one on the weekend!! Best of luck for the rest of your tww - itsn't it crazy how we overanalyse everything - it's driving me completely mad!!

Keen - Where are you??? We haven't heard from your for a while - I do hope everything is ok? Please let us know how you're going??

Well then, I think I covered everyone :confused: It's just so hard to keep up - I ran out of colours and everything!!!

As for me (and as I mentioned above) - I'm feeling secretly positive about things but am too scared to admit it. I'm setting myself up for a really big fall but I've been feeling nauseous for the last couple of days, crampy and have been getting a funny feeling in my upper stomach (which I remember getting last time I fell - I really can't describe it though). Probably all just in my head - the power of the mind and all!! I haven't noticed any difference in the good old bb's, so I don't want to get too excited. I desperately want it to happen though and am really scared about how I'll react if it doesn't!! I didn't want to be like this but just can't help it. I also have to remember that I was away around the time of O, so I don't know why I'm feeling so god damn positive about it all!!! What's wrong with me!!!!!!!

Kelly xxx

There is nothing wrong with you at all Kelly - its good to feel positive and can have a great effect on our bodies when our minds are so well balanced! Each month has been different for me, positive then negative, positive and ok with af showing, then devastated at other times, so its much like being on a roller coaster ride and right now your on a high, praying that it continues and you get that bfp at the end of this ride!

Jayne - thanks hun I too am worried about my friend and that the bubs wont make it, but I havent said as much to her. Im trying to be positive but I dont want to over do it and get her hopes up really high either. I hope your right and the little bean is just tightly curled. You think they will be able to see more on thursday's scan? She should have been almost 9wks on Thursday but will now only be 7.5wks.

Thanks for praying for her gals, it means alot to me :)

I just had to pop back in and see how everyone is travelling....(there are SO many of you in here...I am having trouble keeping up with where everyone is)! Please forgive my lack of personals.

KellyM ~ thanks for the hello cheer. I loved the post about the funny feeling in the upper belly. Sounds good to me. I can tell you that I had no symptoms whatsoever except I had this funny kinda pain up high in my tummy and if I ate something bland (like pikelets) it would disappear...it is one of those *unmistakeable feelings* that tells me when I am pg. My fingers and toes are crossed for you hon!!

Goldilocks ~ you are a true inspiration. You show such determination and courage in TTC again. I was a scary-cat and stopped TTC for 12mths. I applaud you honey....I can't wait to read about your BFP...I know you will fall again quickly!

Lisa ~ I too am thinking of your friend...I truly hope it all works out well for her! When I had my first scan with this baby there was only a sack and we couldn't see anything in it. I was supposed to be 7wks...1 week later...there was the hb...I must've O'd really late in my cycle and so the OB put my dates back 2wks. I hope this is the same for your friend!

Saph ~ You are not a failure honey..far from it. It takes alot of courage to TTC and more strength to TTC after a m/s or loss. Try not to be so hard on yourself. I know it sounds easy to say ... but Jayne is right, it sounds like you've put so much pressure on yourself. Try to relax and keep thinking positively....positive thought is very powerful.
I kept saying to myself over and over at night "my body is healthy, I'm ready to be pregnant, I will be pregnant soon". And, it only took 1 cycle to fall with this baby. It took DH and I over 2yrs to fall with DD. (A total miracle for both children, because blood test results showed that I am supposed to be infertile and unable to conceive children at all)! Positive thoughts honey!

Shell ~ I still have my fingers crossed for you this month honey! How are you feeling today?

I don't mean to forget about anyone ! Wishing you all tremendous success this month! This thread needs a big clean-out!!! lol.

Take care
Beccy

First of all Saph - you are NOT a failure :hug: But ... I know exactly how you feel. You feel like it is the one thing everyone else seems to be able to do but you can't. You feel like you have let your DH down by not being able to *cook* your baby and then you feel like you've let them down again by not being able to get pregnant. My gorgeous DH gave me a special way of looking at it after Caitlyn was born. She was a cake that just didn't rise. There was nothing wrong with the oven, the ingredients were good, but occasionally your cake just doesn't rise ... but you didn't do anything wrong!!!! A big hug for you and I hope you feel better soon.

Shell - I so hope you have a positive pop up for you in the next few days :crossfingers:

Kelly - thank you for your lovely comments about Caitlyn's urn. And I am feeling better too!!

Lisa - thank you too!! I have everything crossed for your friend (until the weekend when I need to uncross things!!!)

Belle - ooooh, you and I (along with Lisa) are just about on cycle together!!! I can tell what we will all be up to on the weekend!!!

A big :hello: to everyone else.

As for me - acupuncture today gave me a GREAT technique for supressing my cough which is just wonderful!! Flu is getting better (finally) with just an annoying cough still there. Just waiting to O and then the TWW for an additional torture. What's a girl to do!!!

Posted at the same time Beccy!! It is so nice to have you back here more often!!

Thanks Michelle, I never want to upset anyone posting while I am pg....but I just love this thread, everyone on here is genuine, kind and really caring about other women's needs and worries while they're going through the TTC journey! It's very refreshing and I think I needed to take another sip..lol.

So, am I reading right, you are trying acupuncture to help TTC? Sounds very interesting!

Beccy

Yep - have been having acupuncture since about 3 weeks after Caitlyn was born (as well as doing herbs - although I have been slack with the herbs and have missed the last month of acupuncture). Initially it was just for balance and gettting strong again. NOW it is for the TTC (although it is all a frustration at the moment). I am also on clomid (5th cycle) and trying to go back to the gym if the flu leaves me. I have this cycle and the next before ???????? Not sure what the next step is and whether we will go any further or if we will wait for a while. I am running out of years at the moment.

There is lots of literature supporting the use of traditional chinese medicine to support / assist conception so I am hoping it will work for me.

So ... :crossfingers: we get pregnant soon so I can just worry about that instead :p

Morning all,

How are we all today? It's HUMP DAY!!! YAY:p Come 12 o'clock on we are on the downhill run for the rest of the week...WOO HOO...

First things first...Cycle day 8...temp is rising...today 36.8 (not doing FF cos I'm a cheapskate...I downloaded a freebie in excel from another site). They've been slowly going up since AF arrived then departed. I'm really hoping that this month will be our month. It seems that I can conceive quite 'easily' it's just the matter of making it cook...and I like the phrase Michelle used...the right ingredients etc, the cake just doesn't rise. Well this time, I'm hoping that when the time is right, it will all blend together to just the right consistency, then all I will have to do is cook in a moderate oven for 9 months :p then deliver on a platter...lol

So are there any BFP's that should be reported yet? Are there any mass testings going on?

I'm hoping to duck back in here later this morning, if not, after lunch to check up on you guys. Hope you all have a great morning.

Much love & hugs,

Kate x.

Good Luck Michelle!!

Beccy, we don't mind you popping in at all

Kell, it's great that you are feeling positive. It's funny, but feeling positive is a hard thing to do. GL for when you test.

Saph, I am soooo sorry Af showed up! :hug: It's so hard not to feel so horrible every time it happens :(

Shell, sorry about the BFN! :( I hope you get those two lines soon!

8DPO today :D I am going to try and hold out till 12 dpo (sunday) to test, AF is due then and I will have a lot less on my mind so I think I will be doing well to get that far...lol

BBL

Tanya

Good Morning Girls,

Well should i start with never underestimate the power of intuition!!!!

As i had suspected all week, i finally got a nice clear :bfp: :eek: !!!!!
Its faint but clearly there if that makes any sense at all!
The funny thing is that im not in shock because i really did feel that i was, a very strange thing, its funny how the mind & body works!

Im totally overjoyed as considering we were not really trying, I think the vitex and the whole "we are not trying" idea were what got us here!
But in saying so im very nervous as to what the next 36 weeks will unravel, im hoping it does not end the same way as the last pregnancy, must stay positive i suppose!

I just had to let you all know as you have all been such a strong support for me over the last 8 months, im so hoping that all of you can move along with me!

Be back later to do personals, im just too excited right now! :)

OH MY LORDIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW WHAT SHELL? I JUMPED ON HERE EARLY THIS MORNING BECAUSE I JUST *KNEW* THAT YOU WOULD POST YOUR BFP TODAY! I'M SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THRILLED FOR YOU GORGEOUS GIRL!!!!! YAY! I'M SO HOPING THAT YOU'RE THE BEGINNING OF A LOT OF BFP'S.

:bellyrubs: This is the best news ever! You know, I think I might even go a bit crazy today and get my hair wet at Jessica's swimming lesson! PMSL!

Love Jayne & Bubs

Jayne - you are such a funny girl PMSL Go get wet in the pool :p

Shell - I am soooooo happy for you. OK - that's 2 Michelle's gone. Now I think it must be MY TURN!!!!!!!!!! I want to confuse them in PAML too. But seriously (although wanting to join you is serious) I am just so very happy for you. Well done chicken!!:happyforyou:

P.S. A belated birthday present for DH!!

Jayne, pmsl at you getting you hair wet at jessica's swimming lesson,If thats how excited you get over my BFP, i would have loved to have seen you when you got yours!!!!

Thanks Michelle, Yes you are definatley the next one to move, i also want to confuse all in paml, that would be sooo much fun!!!

Oh i also forgot to add that Kazzy's booties have been under my pillow since she sent them to me a couple of months ago.......so maybe it was that that did the trick!!!!!

Shell - whooooooooooo hooooooooooooooo!!! :confetti: :confetti:

I am soooo happy for you sweets. As soon as I saw you had posted I just knew it would be bfp! Congratulations wishing you nothing but a happy and healthy pg. We are all here to support you sweety and I know in my heart that all will be well with this pg.

Yippeeeeee that the best news ive heard in ages!

That is FANTASTIC news!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!:happyforyou: :confetti: :bellyrubs: I think that's enough...but just so you know...I could add a few more.

I'm so very happy for you Shell...now go get yourself onto the 'other bus'. This could be just the ticket the rest of us need to kickstart these BFP's along.

*mwah*

Congratulations again.

Kate x.

OMG Shell, CONGRATULATIONS!!! :confetti: I'm so thrilled for you, sweetie. You have made my day! Finally, a graduate to PAML...now who's next??!!! How wonderful to get your BFP when you're not really trying. And what a beautiful belated birthday pressie for your DH! Please stay positive, everything will be just fine with your little bubba. GROW BUBBA, GROW!!!

Kristy, I hope you're feeling better today. I'm so sorry that AF arrived, sweetie. You are most certainly NOT a failure! Michelle put it perfectly with the cake analogy. Please cheer up, honey.

Kelly, how are you feeling today? Still gonna hold out until the weekend before testing? I hope that you're next to clear out of here to PAML!

Lisa, I hope your acupuncture goes well tonight. How are those herbs and vodka going?! Anymore news on your friend? You are both in my thoughts, sweetie...I hope that her little one keeps growing bigger and stronger every day.

Beccy, please don't feel bad coming in here while you're pregnant. You're our inspiration! I love your mantra when you were TTC again...I've no doubt that it's what helped you fall pg!

Michelle, glad to hear that your flu is almost gone. I still have a niggling little cough too...very annoying! Any idea when you're going to O? I've heard great things about acupuncture and fertility so I hope it works for you too!

Kate, I'm a cheapskate too! LOL But did you know that you can join FF for free? I don't pay a cent and I've been using it since Feb. And I can even share my chart! I'm sure that you'll fall pregnant again easily, honey.

Tanya, I'm keeping everything crossed that you clear out of here soon too! Good luck with testing on Sunday (or sooner, if you don't make it that far! LOL)

I am seriously loving using OPKs! Maybe I'm just a POAS addict!! LOL The one I used this morning had a definite second line, much darker than the last couple of days, although still not as dark as the control line. I might do another one when I get home tonight...don't wanna miss that surge! DH is in sooooo much trouble tonight! :ttc: *evil laugh*

Have a fabulous day everyone!

Love & babydust
Belle
-xxxooo-

Belle - PMSL at the evil laugh. Your poor DH (NOT!!!). I am sure there will be no complaints. I am due to O on the weekend which should make DTD fun (I'll be on nights :() but it won't be the first time we have had to schedule DTD.

Lisa - aren't you coming to PAML?? I have a plan to drag Keen (not that I think she will be kicking and screaming TOO much) and you with me (thank Flowerchild for the positive thinking ;)) so that you 2 have spare hands to grab on to the rest of them. The ark may sink with the numbers we want to bring!!!

Have a lovely day!! Shell - you have made made my day :D

Gosh, im thrilled that I have made so many of your days, I aim to please:)

Yes im with Michelle, Lisa & Keen have done their time along with Michelle, its time to be released!!!
But I would like the rest of you to escape while the gates are open letting out Lisa,Keen & Michelle!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS SHELL!!

:happyforyou: :dance:

That is fantastic news!!! You've made my day too and you've given us all some hope!!!

You've certainly made me feel a lot better too, as I can't help but be feeling positive about everything - still no af, but I'm definitely going to hold out until the weekend, as my cycle has never been regular or reliable. Still feeling a little crampy, as if af is going to arrive but the fact that it hasn't yet is giving me an incredible amount of confidence. Usually I get crampy and the next day af arrives, so all good - I soooooo hope to be joining you in the PAML thread soon - and want EVERYONE in here to be there too, so bring on the :bfp:

Congratulations again Shell - it's just wonderful. And good luck to everyone who is O'ing in the next few days - there seems to be so many of you!!!!

Thanks girls, yes we have all done our time, but im happy for Michelle and Keen to go over with Shell first. Im not hoping for a bfp for another 3 months (thats what the np said) so im going to stay here to watch you all leave in the next 3 months and i'll be the last one here to lock the gates on this thread so that no one ever has to be here again!!

Its such wonderful news for Shell. Wishing all you other ladies have the same wonderful fortune of seeing that :bfp: soon.

Im off to meetings and then for a round of accupuncture at 4.30, so i'll catch you lovely sweets tomorrow,
Lisa

By the way belle, the herb /vodka concoction is going very well, tastes like crap but the after effects are awesome! I couldnt stop giggling last night and then within 2 seconds of the giggles I was asleep like a baby!

BTW my bf is having her ultrasound tomorrow morning at 10 or 11, so staying hopeful til then.
