Hi everyone,
Time to catch up.........
Kazaraz - Good luck with your BT. Hope you get the answers you are looking for.
Karen Van - Completely understandable that you would be anxious after getting sick again. I'm sure everything will be fine this time. Hope you all feel better soon. :stickyvibesboy:
HannahD - :hug: Been thinking of you since I read your post earlier today. Glad to hear DH is looking after you and watching the sunset at the beach sounds like a lovely way to remember your angel. It's amazing how strong you can be when needed, but don't feel like you always have to be :hug:
Jen - Sorry your body seems to be playing tricks on you, I know how frustrating it is! Hope your coverline appears soon so you know what's going on. :hug:
boble - Sorry AF arrived and is being extra hard on you as well :(. Hope you get your BFP soon.
Julie - We haven't met, so welcome. As much as it saddens me to welcome new ladies to this thread at the same time I am happy we all have somewhere to go to share our thoughts and feelings. The girls on this thread have helped me more than I could ever put into words.
Easha - Good luck with the scan!
Theresa - So happy to hear the scan went well and your little one is growing nicely. :stickyvibesgirl:
Samandpoppy - 12 out of 29 eggs sound great! Hope you feel better soon. Best of luck!
Naenae - I think all of us can relate to TTC taking over our lives. It is very easy to become obsessed and almost impossible to try and relax and 'forget' about it! That's why this thread is great, we 'get' it.
:hello: to mannie (how are those levels going?), megsmum, babymiracles, WTH, plc, AJC, ruthie, smi, polly, tam, fifi, tutmae, chappas, rach, erybery, issy, indy and anyone else who may be lurking.
AFM - Went to lunch for my sister's birthday today and her best friend has just had a baby and I had a cuddle. Very proud of myself. She was so gorgeous, I didn't want to put her down!
Feeling heaps better after my op and almost back to normal. Been able to BD so that's the main thing!
Been a bit strange this month, had a bit of cramping on my right side (the side my tube was blocked so of course my mind went into overdrive :rolleyes:). It's been quite consistent and I am only CD11 so a bit early for o I would think so not sure? Plus Dr told me I am due to o from my left ovary this month so the pains should be on the other side shouldn't they?
Oh well, I have given up trying to read my body!!!
-
A quick 'me' update.... CD 16 and still no coverline! :wtf: There hasn't been one month since I started temping that I didn't O, but still haven't had a temp drop to indicate that I did! So frustrating and annoying!! D@mn unlucky number 13!
Hannah--I'm sorry to hear that yesterday was your angel's EDD :comfort: I also found the lead-up to be worse than the actual day. It was, however, still a nostalgic day, so I hope you're doing ok. I hope you enjoyed watching the sunset--what a beautiful way to remember your angel! I'm so grateful that you have such a sweet, loving DH to give you the pampering and attention that you deserve! I'm sure he'll think of something extra special to do for you for your upcoming anniversary!
Karen--Ok, this is my second attempt at your post... when I got here last time and tried to quote you, I lost my post, and had to redo it! :computer: You would think after being here for almost a year, I would learn how to not lose a post when going from page to page! :rolleyes: Just wanted to say I love your use of verbiage, especially when you said, "It's amazing what a talent your subconscious has for ambushing you even when you feel good about something"--so true! You have a very eloquent way of speaking that reminds me very much of plc! ( :hug: plc! ) Sorry to hear that you've come down with a bug, and are experiencing some deja vu... no wonder you feel anxious! Hope you feel better soon! Some extra prayers and :stickyvibesgirl: for you!
kazaraz--Hope your BT's give you the answers you're looking for! *hugs*
Mel--Good for you for holding your sister's friend's baby! :clap: I'm proud of you! Could the pain on your right still be from your op, do you think? I'm with you--I've given up trying to read my body this month! We'll be confused cycle buddies together! :hug:
-
:happybirthday: to you megsmum!! :birthday2: Hope you have a great day!! :partysmiley: Thinking of you for your appt, as well--I'm sure all will be perfect! :hug:
-
:birthday2::happybirthday: Megsmum - my fellow fishy friend. Hope you have a great day and that OB appointment is fantastic
:hug: to Jen (hope that cycle sorts itself out), hannahD (still watching to see if you have done your homework adequately), shortcake, Mel, Mannie, WTH (hope things are going very well for you my dear), boble, julia (sorry for your loss but glad you found this supportive site), Karen van, theresa, Kazaraz, Easha, smi, samandpoppy, fifi and everyone else who visits this site
AFM: I had another scare on friday - with a bit of bleeding so rang my wonderful OB and he said come straight around - did a scan and it was okay and had to had anti-D injection as Rh -ve. Had brown discharge all day saturday but okay again now - pray it will continue that way as it freaks me out every time. Official OB appt is friday week but he said if I was worried he could squeeze me in for a quick scan this coming friday (what a wonderful doctor I have!) So am having lots of and lots of rest, and doing as little as I can especially on weekends. Don't know if it will make any difference but cannot hurt.
Sorry for brief persies today - am meant to be working at the moment :redface:
-
Well hello ladies.
Kararaz- Good luck with the BT!
Karen Van- Hope you feel better soon.
HannahD- I hope you and DH had an amazing night remembering your angel.
Jen-Still haven't had any signs of O either. Its so fustrating when all you want is to get a BFP and hold your precious child.
Boble- Sorry AF arrived and is being nasty with you.
Samandpoppy-Congrats on the eggies!
Easha- Good luck with your scan!
Julie- Welcome! May you find the support and comfort that you need here.
Theresa- I'm so glad your scan went well.
Mel- Hopefully the pains are just from your surgery! :pray: that you catch that eggie this month!
AFM- still no signs of O! Feeling a bit down and fustrated at this point. I just wish I could tell what my body is doing kwim?
-
Shortcake - I know all about frustration. Just been to the doctors and my hcg is -2 so no pregnancy! So that makes me wonder why the 2 positive stick readings, false positives maybe? God knows. No sign of af and still the sore twins, cramping, afternoon nausea and extreme tiredness! I feel pregnant. Have asked for a referral to a specialist as sometimes I think the gp's just take stabs in the dark. There has to be something going on. GP wanted to put me on pregestorone (spelling) to bring on my period. But I am not wanting that as I just feel pregnant even though nothing is showing up! I dont want to hurt the pregnancy if I am. BUt can I be if its just not showing?? You guys might have more idea than me.
-
Jen and babymiracles - Thanks for the birthday wishes my lovely fishy friends! Having a good day so far! You're next babymiracles!!!
Now to some persies....
Polly - Yay for a BFP!! :dance: All the best for the next 8 months or so, hope that they are as stress free as possible!
Jen - I'm sorry to hear your cycle is not doing what it should :( I hope it sorts itself out soon and you get that coverline!
babymiracles - So sorry to hear you have had more bleeding :( As you know, I know how stressful it can be! But at least if it is just brown and not getting any heavier then everything is more than likely OK. You ob sounds wonderful, I would take advantage of that and do whatever you have to do to not stress. If that means an extra scan or 2 just do it! At least of you have one on Fri then you can relax a bit over the weekend too :hug:
kazaraz - All the best with the BT results, hope you get some answers from them!
HannahD - :hug: for yesterday. I'm glad you got through the day as well as can be expected, your DH sounds like an absolute legend!
boble - Sorry to hear AF arrived stupid witch! All the best for this time, hope its the one!
Julia - Hi and welcome :hug: Hope you stay here is as short as possible.
Theresa - Glad to hear the scan went well.
Easha - Sounds like everything is going really well, that is great! All the best for Friday's appt!
:grouphug: Shortcake, Mel, Karen van, Samandpoppy, chappas, fifi, tutmae and anyone else that I have missed. Still thinking of you even if I haven't mentioned you by name.
AFM, well I got a super b'day pressie today! I got a new stereo for my car so I can listen to my I-Pod, oh and the ob appt went well too ;) We didn't have a scan today because I have decided that I have to wean myself off that habit (and it is only 4 weeks until the big 20 week scan), just a listen to the HB which was a lovely 150 odd BPM and a check of fundus height which was great according to the ob. I have also been feeling a few movements this week too! Anyway I guess it is time to admit that this one is more than likely going to work out and try to relax a bit more. My ob gave me the big pep talk because he knows how worried I have been, so I'll have to listen I suppose. So I'd better start posting in the PAML thread and stop pestering everyone here, but I'll still be lurking and of course posting now and again if that's OK? Might even have to do a pregnancy announcement!!!
-
Karen van - Sorry you've caught a bug. I hope you feel better soon. Oh and I too love the way you have with words.
kazaraz - It's a pity you didn't get any answers from your GP today. At this point a referral to a specialist is probably a good idea. If you feel that something isn't right, persist until you get some answers. I do hope you get them soon.
Mel - The pain could be from your op, couldn't it? And is it possible to predict which side you will O from? I always thought it was pretty much random. And good on you for holding your sister's friends baby. :clap:
jen - So sorry your body is confusing you. :hug: I might move to Italy if I reach my 13th cycle. 13 is a lucky number there.
megsmum - Happy Birthday! :birthday2: Glad to hear you're having a great day. And yay for little movements from bubs. I can't believe its been 16 weeks already! But it doesn't mean you have to leave us entirely. I personally love getting updates.
babymiracles - Sorry to hear you had another scare. So glad you have an understanding OB. Rest up and goodluck with your appointment next Friday. :crossfingers: you won't need one before then.
Shortcake - :hug: to you. Sorry you are feeling down. It is frustrating when our bodies don't put up clear signs. I hope you O soon, so you can catch that eggie.
:hello: and big :hug: for all the ladies I've not mentioned by name. Am thinking of you all.
AFM - Thankyou everyone for your thoughts. DH and I had a lovely time at the beach last night. I even took my shoes off to have a paddle (something I very rarely do). I wrote a goodbye message to my angel in the sand. I've finally allowed myself to say goodbye and I feel more at peace. (I just hope the feeling lasts). BTW, this counts as homework completed! My psychologist gave me more homework this morning - I have a CD to guide me through some relaxation techniques. So I get to make more time for me.
-
hello lovely ladies - still lurking but not posting much on BB in general these days. welcome to the newbies - as a previous full-time member of this thread I have to say it is the home of much comfort and support - irrespective of the whole issue of being here in the first place!! wishing you a short stay here so that you can each graduate to the PAML thread :grouphug:
wishing megsmum a :birthday2: happy happy birthday and all the best for your scan in 4 weeks - big :hug: sweet!!
jen - I'll organise a search party for your O!!!!! maybe we can put an ad in your local paper or somewhere here on BB - someone's sure to have come across it!! ;) It's sure to be having a giggle in the corner somewhere with the numbers 1 & 3 - naughty naughty O!!! aunty plc is ready to give it a stern talking to!!
love to you all :hello:
-
Hannah - Glad you are feeling more at peace. :hug: Well, I always thought you o randomly as well but my Dr tells me you alternate each month and he could tell from my op that I o from my right side last cycle and from my left the cycle before. Not holding much hope for this month really as I will o from my left and that's the side that wasn't blocked and it hasn't worked the last 15 months (well, 7 I guess if you alternate).
Jen - I was thinking today about the weird cycle I had a couple of months ago. I was still temping then and I usually o about CD17 and this particular cycle I o at CD22 and had a 35 day cycle which has never happened before. After thinking about it I realised it was my 13th cycle as well. Freaky huh? I had Fertility Friend very confused that month (not to mention myself :rolleyes:!).
Babymiracles - Sorry you had a scare but I am so glad you have a lovely ob who is looking after you. :hug:
Megsmum - :happybirthday: What a terrific present to hear your little one's :heartbeat: So happy it is all going well.
Kazaraz - Sorry you are getting such confusing signals. Would definitely go to a specialist as most GP's (whilst they mean well) just don't have the expertise. Good luck.
Shortcake - Don't give up - Make sure you :bd: just in case! Some months I can tell when I o and other months I have no idea. :wall:
AFM - Still having slight cramps but I have also had lower back pain (not painful but just a dull ache). Bit like when you might be getting AF or find out you are first pg. I know I am neither of them as I haven't even o yet!
-
Megsmum - Glad to hear that your appt went well and how cool, now you can listen to your ipod in your car!! What an awesome bday combination :)
HannahD - I'm so happy that you have found a way to say 'see you later' to your precious angel baby. I never did that and i think that is why i struggle with it so often. So proud of you hun :hug:
Jen - Hope your cycles stop stressing you out and start to work properly..
Mel - I hope your pains turn out to be something other than just pains.
AFM, well we've done all we can this month so i'll just have to see what happens. I'm not feeling any thing yet so i dont think that i am pg this month :( but fingers crossed we caught that eggy. I hate this part the most, the not knowing, the 'is it a symptom, is it just me?' feeling its so stressful. I'm just so used to seeing one line that it feels like i'll never be pregnant :(
-
Hi everyone.
Jen - sorry to hear your body is being so confusing. I only used FF for a couple of cycles before getting my bfp and I hated it when it didn't do what I expected it to do... not fair to confuse us like that I don't think. I hope your O shows up soon!
Hannah - what a beautitful way to remember your little angel baby... I am glad that you have been able to come to peace with it all. My honeymoon babies due date was the 10th feb and I too had a missed m/c in July :( so hopefully we will get bfp's together soon too :D
Karen van - thanks for the advice. I hope you and yours are feeling better soon. Try not to worry.. this pregnancy IS a separate pregnancy and I am sure everything will be fine! Just rest up and get better
Kazaraz - I know what you mean about feeling happy for someone preg but knowing you will feel down if you are not preg by the time their baby comes out into the world - that is how I felt too.. I had said that all I want is to be preg by my due date... now I realise I should have been more specific with that wish as I was preg again but unfortunately not a sticky one.. thats ok.. we will all have our sticky ones really soon... its only fair :D
I hope you get some answers soon! that would be very frustrating!
Mel - congrats on having baby cuddles! Sometimes it can be the greatest thing in the world to put a smile on your face and remember what it is all about
baby miracles - i hope the spotting stops - its not good that your body is scaring you like this.. naughty body! your ob sounds amazing!
shortcake - i hope you O soon. this ttc business is so full of waiting.. waiting to O, waiting for af or a bfp.. waiting for af to go to try again - its natural to get frustrated... but try not to stress as this can affect if you do or don't O... deep calming breaths - it will happen xx
Megsmum - happy birthday! good to hear your lo's heart is beating nice and strongly!
Plc - thanks for the welcome... I am new :D hehe
few - what a list.. sorry to anyone I may have missed... still getting used to this
AFM - AF hasn't been too bad except the cramping, which has been manageable. The first day is always the worst for me, can really knock me out if I don't take pain relief as soon as AF arrives. today I have had some cramping, but haven't needed to take anything. I was sooo scared that AF would be really intense, first one after m/c and I had heard that it can be extremely painful and heavy. This one has actually been not too heavy and not too over the top crampy, so I am handling it all well i think
It will be interesting to see what happens next month as before the last m/c it seemed like I was only O?ng every 2nd month.. i really hope I O next month - I hate only being in with a shot every 2nd month :(
DH asked me the other day when I was going to start temping again hehe... I told him that I was just trying to take it easy for now so that we don't have any extra pressure on us.. but I thought it was cute. I am considering if I want to start up again or not. I find it all very interesting and part of me wants to - but part of me just wants to give it a couple of months too. we shall see.
Lots of :pink-babydust: and :stickyvibesboy: to everyone xx

Hello all!
There is so much going on in here (good and not so good news) that I still can't keep up!
Just a bit of a vent - another one of my gf is 10 weeks pg. She told me in a casual e-mail, but I knew she was ttc, so no surprise, put out the usual 'congratulations' and that was about it. I couldn't speak much more of it. She knows I am ttc but not that I had a m/c. I really don't want the usual comments from someone who hasn't experience a loss. That sounds so mean - sorry
I haven't called my GP for my bt results. To be honest I don't want to face it. Whether it shows my levels at nil/dropping or the other.... I am just over being internally u/s, jabbed with needles etc... Sometimes I think it is harder than grieving for my angel.
Anyway..... had a spare few minutes tonight but will try to return tommorrow night with some personals.
Have a lovely night all
xx

Hi Ladies,
Trying to catch up!
Boble - Sorry af showed up.
Jen - Sorry to hear that your cycle is playing up, hope it sorts out soon.
Easha - Hope you are doing well. Know what you mean about being so anxious to get past 12 weeks.
Theresa - So pleased your scan went well and everything is fine.
Hannah - Glad that your DH was looking after you on your dear angels edd. Going to the beach to watch the sunset is a lovely idea.
Karen Van - Hope everything going well for you.
Mel - Well done for giving little baby a cuddle.
Babymiracles - So sorry to hear that you had another scare, glad the scan showed everything was well.:hug:
Kazaraz - Sorry that you didnt get any answers from your blood tests. I had one month which showed faint lines and really got my hopes up. Took another test with different brand and nothing, it is so frustrating. Hope you get some answers soon.
Megsmum -:happybirthday: Glad appt went well and you got to hear HB, great that you are feeling movements.
Julia - Welcome, sorry for your loss:hug:
Shortcake - Sorry to hear you are feeling down.
Big hello to Fifi, Tutmae,Smi,Plc Abbey,Samandpoppy and eveyone else.
AFM - Doing ok, Still suffering from m/s and have been put on antibiotics for uti but am looking forward to first scan in 2 weeks.
-
babymiracles--I'm so happy you have such a caring, supportive OB, especially after such a scare! :hug: I'm so glad to hear all is going well... man, you're going to give me gray hair, girl! LMAO... Please, NO WORK--just rest, rest, REST!!! Feet up, missy! :stickyvibesgirl:
Shortcake--I'm feeling you, sister! *hugs* Do you temp and chart your cycles?
kazaraz--Usually any read below 5 means no pg'cy.... however, your symptoms are certainly very confusing, so I can see why you're frustrated! Just wanted to give you big *hugs*!
megsmum--Sounds like you had a great birthday! *hugs* You deserve it! So glad to hear your appt. went well, and I'm so proud of you for skipping out on the scan! Look at you, finally giving yourself the ok to start relaxing! :clap: So super proud of you and happy for you, hon--I can't wait to see your pg'cy announcement (better late than never!) and your big move to the PAML thread--but don't you dare leave us yet! What will I do without my fishy cycle buddy? Oops, almost forgot to say Yay! Woo-hoo for feeling baby moving!
Hannah--Your trip to the beach sounds beautiful, and I :pray: with all my heart that feeling of peace continues on! You get an A+ for effort! Now onto the next homework assignment... hope the relaxation CD helps! *hugs*
plc--Thanks! :hug: I hope you know how much your posts mean to so many of us here! *kiss*
Mel--That IS freaky! See--I'm telling you, 13 is just an unlucky number! So you don't temp at all anymore? Hmm.... I've been wondering why you don't have a ticker and a chart for me to stalk! Makes it very hard for me to be nosy and all in your business! :rofl:
Abbey--Sorry you're feeling stressed out! *hugs* Sending you lots of anti-AF vibes!
boble--Glad to hear AF hasn't been too rough on you, I remember how worried you were about that! I personally think charting is a great way of getting a peek of what's going with your cycles--but it can definitely become addictive! Good luck with whatever you decide! *hugs*
Julia--Sounds like you could use a :hug:
chappas--Best of luck with your scan in 2 weeks, I'm sure all will be perfectly wonderful! Sorry to hear you've got the m/s bug... hope you feel better soon!
Me--Well another increase in temp this morning, so after looking at my chart and my temps, I went thru and did a manual override and gave myself a coverline! Pretty sure that according to temps I O'ed on CD11, and like I said, I did have some O sypmtoms... just not the tell-tale O pains and temp drop. So we'll see where it goes from here.... doesn't really matter anyways--I've had high conception scores for months, with definite O and perfectly timed BD--and it hasn't happened yet, so coverline or not, I'm beginning to think it's just not going to happen! And now DS has to have his tonsils removed on Thursday, and will be out of school for more than a week, so I may have to cancel my dr's appt. that's sched. for my b-day on the 6th! Which means I won't be able to talk to him about the possibility of blocked tubes. Grrr! FF said that my b-day is my test day... so chances are I'll be giving myself AF for my b-day anyways! :rolleyes: The silver lining: At least I won't have to have a pap on my b-day!

Hey Jen! Yes I do temp & chart. This month everything just seems messed up. It may be since this is my first AF since M/C. I'm hoping that everything returns to normal so. Maybe you won't need your dr appt. Hopefully you will get your BFP this month!:hug:

Hi everyone.
DH & I lost out first baby yesterday after seeing a heartbeat on friday, i think sometime inbetween fri & sat night when bleeding got heavier is when it happened, but im saying yesterday as that's when I had the tablets to bring it on.
I wont go on sufice to say seeing it on a screen was awful.
I would like to try again as soon as possible but I dont know when to count my cycle from so i guess that's why people charting tend to wait?
Did anyone else have the tablets to "finish" their miscarriage?If so how did it make you feel and how long before you tried again?
Emotionally Im good today...considering...I think i got alot of it out last night but Im also running on auto pilot.
Hope to get to know you while Im here and hoping it is a short stay!
Eliza

Thanks so much everyone for the birthday wishes :grouphug: I had a lovely day, and a nice quiet night at home with DH, DD and a lovely dinner and cake!
I have to run to a chiro appt now, so will try to get back for personals later on :)
Coco - Welcome and I'm so very sorry for your loss :hug: It is awful that screen, I know it is something that I will never forget ever. Take care of yourself and DH and I hope your stay here is short, the ladies here are a wonderful support. I had a D&C so unfortunately can't help you with the tablet question, but hopefully someone that can will be along soon :hug:
