charliemarina sorry you have had to join us on here, hope you are coping alright with everything. it's a very difficult thing to have to go through.
ferrals4 your poem was lovely. your trip sounds like fun, hope you enjoy it and don't spoil the kids too much!
T-hopes i'm dreading my edd in march too.
Sparkles there is nothing i can say to make you feel any better, just try and do something special on that day. it's a very hard thing to get over, and i don't think the pain ever goes away.
murraycod sounds like things are progressing nicely for you the pain will all be worth it i am sure!
Cookie36 have you done any research into how to get your levels down quicker? i think it's snugglybean that is best to ask advice for on that. i think she got her levels down pretty quickly by eating the right things and stuff.
Emmy83 hope you can get your bfp and you won't need to do the ivf. stay positive!
TTCALoveChild after a m/c sometimes your cycles can be all messed up and can take a while to get back to a regular cycle. i think ric had a 50 day cycle once!
afm, well guess who turned up today? i am quite disappointed but i'm really trying to stay hopeful that next month will be our month. if not then will have to put ttc on hold for 3 months to fit in with our trip to the uk for christmas which i REALLY do not want to do.
Sorry i have not been on for a little while. You all thought i'd left you, didn't you? LOL. Just been seeing family off after the hectic christmas period, and catching up on unpacking from moving before they got here! I haven't had time to scratch myself! haha.
Charliemarina - welcome babe. the struggle with losing a baby that you so dearly want is something that just can't be explained to other people is it? I'm sorry for the most recent loss. A good thing about this forum is that all the women here understand what you're going through, and the struggle in ttc. Feel free to open up to us at any time, no matter what it is.. even if you feel its too much information. We share everything and I really think it helps to have that safe space in here. Good luck in your next month of ttc. I hope it works out well!
SPF - stupid AF! how dare she show up and ruin your plans to create a mini-you! Well at least you're on a new cycle now... save your energy this week girl - cos you're gonna need it for all of that BDing very soon!! hehe.
Ferrals - Abbi's poem is just gorgeous. I hope it's helped you to release some of the pain. Thank you so much for sharing it with us!
Sparkles - sorry to hear that you've been having a bit of a struggle too. Vent away! We're always here to listen! big hugs babe! xx
gosh there's so many posts to get through since i've been on last....
Emmy - hopefully you just tested too early??? I hope so????
Murraycod - pear juice is also very good for constipation. I can't drink it cos like T-hopes i have IBS and its just one of those things that gets things going 'too fast' for me. But my mother and grandmother also swear by it so its gotta be good? I also get glycerol suppositories. When its been a few days and I haven't been able to sort things out I use one of those to get the ball rolling. Best thing ever.
wow - i'm soo sorry ladies that i have to cut it short here... i have DD who may have wet the bed (she's woken up upset)..
to all the ladies i've missed - i haven't forgot you! I hope your journeys are taking a positive step! If you're BDing, go hard and have fun!! If you're in the tww - good luck, and try a new hobby to keep away from those hpt's. And if AF has just arrived, get ready for a great month!!
Sparkles - I know how you feel, KT's due date was just before Christmas. I was at work having to pretend everything was ok - and I blew a tyre on the car - man I was a mess. And now I get to look forward to Peanuts' in May. Take some quiet time to say goodbye - whatever is right for you.
Ferrals - OMG - words can not describe how much Abbi's poem moved me.
Charliemarina - welcome to your journey buddies. I'm so sorry that you've had to experience what you've been through. But know that there are people here to give you all the emotional support you can handle.
SPF - sorry that the witch has come to you - I think she got lost on the way to my house! But a new cycle, a new chance to create a little bundle.
Ciara - had to get up at 3am last night. Our little pup wet his bed and then cried until I got up. Would have made sense for him to cry first - then I could have let him out! It's not just the little persons who do these things.
AFM - I'm still cramping. Been cramping for a month or so now. Which is odd, cause I don't normally cramp, so I'm starting to worry something is wrong considering my hcg drop is slowing...
Cookie - i know you've been getting tested and keeping on top of things medically, but can you find a different doctor or something?? I just feel like something's not being done right.. does that make any sense? I mean, cramping isn't really a good sign and with the hcg levels playing up... is it possible that you still have some 'tissue' left inside somewhere causing these hormones or something like that?? I hope things are ok.
And yes, you're right.. it isn't just little people that wet the bed. haha, too cute about the puppy. I agree with you, wish they'd cry first! But DD doesn't do it unless she's scared, too tired (like she fell asleep on the couch and i couldn't wake her), or if she has a uti. This time she was exhausted from an afternoon full of tickle wars and wrestling with myself and my DP. lol, we had a ball.
Well I am still in my tww, and of course I caved just like Emmy and tested early. Yep, bfn. There was a slight pink line there.. but I'm saying bfn cos it was ever so slight that it could have just been a shadow of a line. I'm sure if it's a bfp i'll get it in a few days when i test again. I haven't really got any symptoms anyway, other than the ultra sore boobs which i've had for over a week now.

I have had 4 orgalutran inj so far tomorrow will be my 5th and last. Started the FSH on day 2 cycle and orgalutran on day 7.
Going to day5 blast, things feel like they are flying by ATM, will come to a complete stop during the TWW though I'm sure if we get therre X
Thopes I love cranberry juice!! Will get some tomorrow!! Also good for the bladder. Thanks for the advice, I don't remember ever having constipation ever, and it is awfull!!
Sparkles and Thopes we will all be here for you on your EDD's. They can be very hard to deal with, but I found it was a closed chapter in my grieving process too, I will not ever forget about my little angel, but my EDD was a time for me to finally move on and accept what had happened.
I hope you both can find some sort of positive out of it when you have to, but I know it can be completely heart wrenching at the same time. Remember we are all here for you XX
Thank you Matthew'sMum, I hope we can all be celebrating your IVF achievements very soon too!!X

I must have been typing when you posted ScaryPinkFairy, So so so sorry to hear that the darn witch turned up honey, I hope you are ok X
I truly hope that you don't have to put things on hold XXX
Thanks girls... Yeah it makes me frustrated that they would wait on the day i was suppose to go to tell me that got to cancel now gotta wait another 3 weeks to get in..
I wish we could check our own levels..LOL so we can know if they dropped any more..
50 day cycle?? Oh my i will deff me hitting the i just hope mine starts sooner. its going on the 9th and No AF yet.. plus like you said it could take awhile its only been 10 days since lil was taken..

MurrayCod -I am so so excited for you. Good advice - drink plenty of fluids, it will ease the soreness & its good as well
Emmy - sorry, you got 3 BFN
With me - Today AF is due, so sign - no symtom....i am recultant to test, so i am just waiting to witch af to knock my dooor
Anita - my longest cycles were 38 days long...aahhh and that sucks...i hope you get it soon. I usually drink hot coffee to get AF (if it is late - it usually works, but after my m/c, it on af's mood to come on time or not)
well, i am going out to friends.
will do the detail msging once tomorrow...
tc all xx xxx
I'm pretty certain im not pregnant. not going to bother testing again.. just wait til next week.. Monday AF is due. I'm pretty sure she'll be here with bells on.
I'm having a down day today. DP has decided that this ttc stuff is too much. he doesn't wanna do it for awhile. I understand where he's coming from, i'm consumed with it all.. it's all i think about and i'm a poas addict (which is starting to become an expensive habit!) .. But i'm so upset by his decision. I have to respect it... but i don't like it at all. In fact, i'm heartbroken. Basically, if it doesn't happen for me this time, it's not going to happen for awhile...and i don't think it's happened this time. I've had numerous psychics tell me that I will have my next baby in my arms by the end of 2010... but i'm thinking that they're all wrong.
My EDD is just around the corner for my ectopic (8th Feb)... all of my friends who fell pregnant at the same time are having their countdowns to the birth... all trying madly to bring on labour (they were a few weeks ahead of me)... and i'm just feeling really down about it. Didn't think it would affect me so badly.
Sorry to put a downer on things ladies.. i truly thought i was beyond sulking about all of this stuff.. but i guess i'm not
DP doesn't even want to take a break from ttc and just enjoy love making... he wants to start using protection again so that there's just no possibility. I so desperately want my next baby. Its been such a tease for me to have my 3 babies this year, but to lose all 3 of them. I just see all of my friends who have just had babies and they get their intimate cuddles and that feeling of overwhelming emotions that you get with a new baby... and i want that so much. I feel like it's been stolen from me and now DP's trying to steal it all over again.
sorry for the ranting.
Hope youre all having better days!!
ciara.e af isn't here yet so wait till then to make any decisions. and you are really not putting a downer on things. we all have our up days and our down days, and with your edd coming up and people you know on the countdown you are more than entitled to feel like this. i still find myself welling up when people even mention babies. i have just stopped talking to everyone at work most of the time as i am just too emotional and don't even have the energy to make small talk or even be pleasant sometimes. i am not attending mt friends engagement party tonight as there will be pg ladies there. i'm not really coping well at all. and like you, if i don't get pg this time around i have to put it on hold and i really don't want to. just stay positive, you just might get your bfp!
ric good luck, hope you don't get af
Tanya thanks i need some of that. how's things going with you?
TTCALoveChild 3 weeks will fly by
Cookie36 are you getting this cramping all the time, or only during certain times of your cycle? i had cramps for the most part of last month which i don't normally get. and that was my first proper cycle since d&c.
afm... well i got a little kitten today she's so cute.
