ladies - quick question... my best friends are getting married this saturday (my best friend is marrying DH best mate) and we are bridesmaid and groomsman... im not much of a drinker but wasnt sure if its ok to have a champagne with the speeches etc?? my friends keep saying have a drink, 'relax' and have a good time but i dont know whether its advisable to have a few during the 2ww?? it would be 5dpo... what are your opinions about me having a couple??? would hate to jeopardise anything for the sake of a few!!!

wow, so many posts so apologies in advance if i miss anyone...
T-hopes i would say a few drinks are ok. the baby does not tap into mothers blood supply till after implantation, which is around 12 days after fertilisation according to my book. hope your signs are correct and you get your bfp confirmed soon
Matthew's Mum well looks like things are moving faster for you now! hope you get some answers on what to do next.
ferrals4 at least you know where you are now in your cycles. hope you don't need that appointment!
craftymummy9 oooh how cute! i bet they are adorable. i keep pestering my dh for us to get another kitten, but he won't budgehoping you get your bfp soon!
ric why would your friend tell you one thing but other people something else?!?
and i hope you tested too early! when is af due? what kind of tests are you using?
CarriePS hi and glad you have joined us on here - well i mean sorry for your loss but glad crafty has directed you to this thread. planting a tree was a very nice idea that will remind you of him as it grows. you will find a lot of support on here, and i think it's a bit addictive to keep checking up how everyone is getting on with their ttc journeys.
as a side addition, i am a pom too, i emigrated 3 years ago and don't live too far from crafty!
afm, well af is due any time from now till sunday. i have not tested again, as i'm trying to do everything different from last time, when i got my bfp at 30 days. but i feel like af is on her way. my cramps have moved more to the centre, where as they were only on my right side before

Good morning ladies....
Well i finally got my results on HCG levels they are dropping pretty fast since we lost our liland i knew they was cause i already lost the baby..
Dec 14,09 is when we found out we were prego&& the HCG levels were 21208.0
Dec 18,09 Results dropped to 16085.0 reason for this blood work so early they didnt see anything or heart beat for the sac to be so big..
Dec 22,09 is when we found out we lost the our
Then yesterdays Blood work levels were 24..
Im going tomorrow to the Ob/Gyn and discuss some stuff with her and to make sure everything is fine... Had a natural pass on Dec 29.09 so im not sure about the D&C now till i go see her tomorrow.
From reading up on D&C i heard it causes scarring but hell i have Endo so im already scarred from the 2 laps. but if i dont need it i dont want it..
So have a question??
For us to even get prego again the levels have to be <5?? is 24 to high for me to even O?
See im all new to this O, checking temp,charting..We just been ttc with out no help for 9 yrs..
So any help on what to do next to make it alittle easier for us would be appreciated..

Hey Ladies!
TTCALC- i am not an expert but i am pretty sure that you do not O unless your HCG levels are under 5. You levels dropping is a gret sing tho, hopefully your body gets it act together soon!!!
Ferrals- did you win the fertility monitor? i am sorry AF came but at least now you know where you are. I cant believe that they lost your photos of little Abbi.. it is horrible. I look a tthe photos I have of Kyarna and i get a bit angry, i hav eseen some beautiful ones of other little bubs but no one offered to put a little hat on kyarna or dress her... I am sorry taht you dont have them but your memories of her will never leave!Your FS seems to have given you some really reasuring advice.. i hope that this is you month chick... a honey moon baby would be awesome!!!!!!
Carrie- I amthat everything goes well on the 15th. How are your girls going with all of this? It is so hard to watch them try and grasp it where you cant hardly get your own head around it.
Mathews Mum- sorry i seem to be a bit behind, are you going to be doing IVF? i hope i read your last post right! when do you start?
I am shocked that you didnt get any testing done... i thought it was standard with a 2nd trimester loss.. i didnt ask for any testing it was just done, they told me that i could decline but they recomend it..
DOry- how are you, i havent seen you around latley but im not sure if that is cause i have been MIA.. I hope everything is going ok, where abouts are you in your cycle?
Ric- I hope that you have been testing just a little bit too early? When will you be testing again??
T hopes- everything sounds promising!!
Crafty Mummy- aqww little piggy babies! they are so small! i am glad that they are giving you something to think about! only 9 days to go!!!''
SPF- I hope that what you are feeling is not AF i am envious of your will power i cant do it... gee i even test the day i get AF just incase it is an implantation bleed... i know not at all logical but i do... i think i test like every freaking week of a cycle ROFL maybe i should buy OPK at least then i will get to se 2 lines occasionaly! ROFL
ok so i dont think i have missed anyone that has poisted in the last 2 pages ROFL
everyone that is not posting and just reading, i hope you are doing ok...
and anyone i miss i am really really sorry!
AFM- well i shouldnt be here... i have some watery CM ROFL ROLF sorry for the TMI but i am pretty sure i am Oing or about to!!! But of all times to get sick DH decides that today is the bast day... i fully started crying when he said he was sick this morning and he got angry that he is sick and all i can care about it SEX LMFAO not nice when the shoe is on the other foot hey! i told him i dont care what he has to do i will get his sperm TONIGHT!! ( ok so now i feel bad but ffs i want this now!!!)
anyway! i will catch you all soon!!

Ha ha ha ha sounds just like DH and I. My last cycle DH wasn't feeling well and I knew when I was going to ovulate so I let him have a rest but I was not passing up on the night before O. I told him in the am "ok so tonight we BD" and he said "no not tonight I'm really not feeling well". I broke down and startedf crying cuz I couldn't stand the thought of wasting a month. Then I told him "well better suck it up cuz were having sex tonight anyways " He was mad at me but he put out anywyas and I got my BFP that month. So good luck catching your egg! LOL
Mummyof4- Yes i won the fertility monitor for $93 it is practicly brand new cant wait for it to get here and It was terrible about our photos we threatened to sue the hospital and all but after we calmed down it was one stupid nurses fault not the hospital all the midwives i had were fantastic and i have had all 4 of my kids there so i wrote a big nasty letter telling them that nurse needs to be retrained and from now on a new memory card should be inserted into the camera for each stillborn baby and we got the little pink hat and cardi and booties were still a bit big but we have no photos of her in it just the one photo of her little face wrapped in a bunny rug and her footprints i can see the stiches at the bottom of her neck from the autopsy but she looked peaceful so i was ok she will always be in my memory and dreams.
LOL that is so funny when men dont feel like it bad luck for us when we dont we still manage to do it they are such sook's.
SPF-i hope its implantation pain you are feeling.
TTCALC-as far as i have read yes your levels need to be under 5 but you can practice while you wait.
AFM-i'm off to work i will check back in later tonight.

Ferrals- it must be a relief to know that you've still got lots of eggs left, and lots of time to spend them, so to speak. The fact that you're now getting the AF you were promised a month ago makes it sound like your body still hadn't fully processed everything until now - but now it's catching up, which is good. I can't imagine how livid you would be at that nurse - I remember how I felt when I thought when I thought DH had thrown out Peanuts u/s photo.
Matthews mum - that's great that they've moved up your appt. Also that they are doing follow up with you, rather than you having to do all the work!
Ric - I always got my BFP's with Discover.
THopes - I live way out SE, Pakenham. I'm seeing an OB in Berwick, Dr Lopes. He's laid back in a "don't you worry about blank, it's my job to worry about blank" kind of way, but still acknowledged my right to be freaked and always ordered tests that seemed necessary. And has an awesome sense of humour - had me in stitches when I thought true laughter was something I wouldn't experience for a long time. /end plug. I've got my fingers crossed for the big veins! And just think of all those babies created by alcohol...
TTCALC - JEALOUS! It's taking you like a week to get the sort of drop I'm still waiting for after 2 months! That does sound right about o'ing, as long as there is hcg in your system, your body is going to assume that you are not in need of any more eggs, so to speak.
This is already quite long - that'll teach me for staying away for 22 hours! Hello to all those I've missed - stay strong.
AFM - It's Thursday, which means I've got to go see the vampire. I'm estimating about a 65.
Cookie-i just wish they were of better quality though they are getting on in age but we will see i only need one.

Hi everyone
Glad everyone seems to be on the up so to speak a lot of positive vibes coming this month so thank goodness for that we had a whole load of sad ones for a long time,
All the girls waiting for or already on the IVF journey my
all those trying to get the DH sorted out go get um girls funny how they all seem scared around day 14 of a cycle and sigh with releif around day 18 mine too but as you say differnent story when they wake in the morning pitching a tent and expecting us to perform !
T hopes can't beleive we MC within days of each other and now in the TWW together lets hope we can carry on and be belly buddies together !
AFM well still not sure whats going on felt nauseas again today and feels like someone keeps sticking pins in my boobs every now and then keep checking to see if I got something in my bra ie crumbs or sand or somethingguess its just wishful thinking but like ferrals said my AF and pg symptoms are so similar so have no idea as yet but only a week till testing ( I will be strong I will wait )
Ferrals how did you put a photo on this damn site ?

Mathewsmum-do they know how your tubes became blocked as you were pregnant just over a year ago and have had children already i was wondering how it could happen.
2013 BellyBelly RAK Recipient.
Matthew's mum was the dye done in a HSG or a lap? Its just I have heard that the HSG isn't as reliable for determining blocked tubes as the lap and dye is.
ric hope AF doesn't show and you are pregnant it just hasn't revealed itself yet. I got a stupid BFN too. Well 3 actually.
murraycod I hope your sacn went well today.
I am waiting for AF then onto the next month. Just researching into which IVF clinic I am going to use. I have three options.

Craftymummy - what is with those boob pin *****s? I remember having those!
Ferrals - you're honeymoon sounds absolutely perfect...can I come too?!
Ric - it's not over till then witch sings...and like your DH says next month is just around the corner.
Snuggly -
TTCALC - GRRR! I hate having things rearranged on me at the last minute. I often wound up being called and told "you need to come in tomorrow/2 days from now". Considering I've just been working casually, it's really difficult to organise.
Matthew's mum - lets hope the fs has some positive news for you and that the ivf is a winner for you.
Emmy - good luck picking your clinic
Murray cod - the agony is just preparation for the part that comes next! Hanging to see your results...
Got my hcg result this morning. 86. At this rate it's going to be JULY before I hit negative. I don't know if I can take this anymore. Losing the motivation to want to bother with any of it anymore.
Murrycod i had 24 follicles ranging from 17mm to 26mm they like them to be at around the 20ish + to contain muture eggs so they will try and get those others to catch up i had a heap at 17mm they wanted to give me an extra day or to for them to catch up but my E2 sky rocketed to 16,000 so i had to have my trigger and we had 8 big enough that had mature eggs the others just diddnt have enough time but i certainly felt uncomfortable walking and bending over was a definate no no and coughing and sneezing hurt so yes you are normal and i was peeing all the time like i was 39 weeks pregnant with triplets but keep up the water it helps keep OHSS away and the pain after EPU is worse and OHSS i have heard is unbearable not trying to scare you but just make you keep drinking water and yes it was difficult going through it with work and my DH and kids to look after and housework but we are women and we can do anything so thats why we are taking the kids with us they deserve a holiday aswell but thanks for the comment i got a head swell over it i cant wait to see your results.

Cookie- with 7 of us whats one more.
Murrycod-almost there girl do you have a wheat pack that can be heated up it helps with the cramping after EPU you are on the exact dose i was on how many orgalutran injections did you need i had 9 all up very expensive i want to wish you all the luck in the world and prepare you for the waiting which gets worse from here the wait for your fertilisation report and then the 3 day report to see how many make it and what grade they are at are you going to day 5 blasts if you do then theres an extra 2 day wait oh my lord how did i do it i am soooo impatient but i think you will fly through it and get your BFP very soon.
ric-sorry it was a BFN this month.
TTCALC-what a bummer to make you wait when thats the last thing us ttcers want is more waiting.
Snugglebean-yeh! its official you can shag to your hearts content now you have permission but maybe you will have a homecomming surprise for us.
Emmy-sorry you diddnt get you two lines either hun i know how you feel.
Sparkles- we all have those days and those feelings vent away the EDD is not easy try to do somthing for your bub that will make it a special day we brought a beautiful candle and we light it on Abbi's EDD and will light it on her 1st B-Day im not sure if you saw the post i did months ago with Abbi's memorial teddy, and the frame with her U/S pics and her little cardi and beanie and booties but we put all that together and on her due date we lit the candle and i new she was with me i also wrote a poem to her anyway it helped me i hope you find your way to get through this painful time.
For the girls who diddnt get to read Abbi's poem here it is.
ABBI
Not a day goes’ by that I don't think of you
What you would have looked like
What colour was your hair
Did you have my blue eyes?
Was your skin real fair
I felt you move inside me
Like an angel dancing around
I couldn't wait to meet you
And hold you safe and sound
But heaven had other plans
You were too good for this place
I'd never get to dress my girl
In all the frill's and lace
My heart and soul are broken
And beyond repair
From the minute you left this world
Life became so unfair
What I would give to have you back
And hold you in my arms
To be your loving mum again
And protect you from all the harm
My only comfort that I have
Is knowing that someday
We will be together again
And my pain will fade away
