Scary Pink Fairy - well done girl! I am so happy for you. Congratulations on your BFP and good luck for the harrowing journey ahead. I feel bad that I suggested you go to the Dr and it didn't help, at least initially. Glad that you got a BFP at home though. I reckon cause at the Dr it wasn't FMU.
Hey here's a funny cat story. I had the air con on yesterday ( felt miserably ill and didn't want to be hot) but that meant the cat flap the cats usually use was closed. There was still one cat flap open, but it was more of a hike. DH and I were watching a movie and DH heard something. He got up to discover two little grey cats pawing desperately at the closed cat door, completely drenched. It had just bucketed down. The next minute the other cats comes running in even more drenched - he had gone to use the open cat door. They looked so pitiful. Anyway, I towelled them off and we all cuddled up together and finished watching the movie. They truly looked miserable, but were happy for the cuddles. How's Amy?
Anita/TTCALC - I was thinking about you the other night, and I wondered how you and hubby were able to cope on your journey. I suppose you never expected that it would be so hard, and maybe time flies by initially, but how do you manage to keep your chin up? I am truly humbled by your strength and endurance. Sorry to hear you are snowed in. The first time I saw snow I was living in Detroit, Michigan and DH and I were on our way to Lake St Claire. Me being a beach kid, wondered aloud why there was sand on all the roofs? DH fell over laughing. Anyway, the snow was much more obvious once we got to the lake. It was pretty exciting, but pretty cold. It would have been a nice place to be in the summer. I got to see a lot more snow after that, and didn't embarras myself again!
Kit - you had me ROTFL - I imagined the airbed bursting or deflating - neither of which is flash! God luck with BDing.
Eliselousie - good to see you popping in. I am still not ready to cut the apron strings.
Minimatron - sorry to hear about your loss. It's a hard road you're on now. Good luck with the tcc journey. Sometimes it does take a while for your body to sort itself out. I bled for two months.
Murraycod - ever patient! I am glad you are doing a frostie. I reckon it gives you a feeling that you are doing something without as much intervention as a stim cycle. Bring of Harvey 2, and I agree, you get "naming rights". How is that treadmill going?
Kirsten - hopefully you catch/caught that egg. But it does mean you are in the 2WW now. Good luck.
Ferals - good to hear that your cycle was a bit better this month. Does that mean you will be BD'ing soon?
Jahzara, Thopes, Sarahrach, Emmy, Mathew's Mum, Mo4, Alicat, Cookie36, Ric sunbeam - how you doing?
Jilly - you've not written for a while. Are you ok?
Crafty - how is your friend going? I am a bit flighty today and can't remember her name in here. But I remember precious Eden. Hope your goodbyes at the airport went well enough and weren't too painful.
Thanks for your welcomes, you all come with kind words and its good to feel reassured. Dory, 2 months, thats a very long time. I struggled with 3 weeks. Had to have a giggle about the cats...
Congratulations Scarypinkfairy.
Dory: I agree with Melissa, 2 months is ages, I bled for about 4 weeks and had issues with that. 2 months would have been horrible. I love the cat story too Glad all appears to be well for you.
Hello everyone else, how's all the waiting going for everyone, it's a permanent waiting game this TTC business...
minimatron welcome and sorry you have had to join this thread. the girls on here will certainly look after you. i know exactly how you feel, after my m/c i didn't stop bleeding for i think 6 weeks all up. you will get there.
Kirsten hope you catch the egg, it's always good to know that you are ovulating when you can feel it happening. it's not that common to be able to have tell-tale pains, but it is very helpful.
murraycod thanks again i will certainly be keeping an eye on this thread.
T-hopes, it will be mid-october (same as me ). dh is not getting too excited just yet. he still doesn't believe it, and doesn't want to get his hopes up like last time.
dory i wanted to go to drs anyway to get my hcg done. last time it was too high for dates, then dating scan put me back a week, so i have no idea what was going on there. so don't feel bad! glad things are going well for you again now x
i liked your cat story, poor things amy is doing great, although she had 2 vaccinations yesterday and she is really sore now.
i also wanted to ask you, are you worried about toxoplasmosis, or do you think it is safe to still cuddle with the cats? maybe i am stressing too much already.

evening everyone ,minimatron-sorry for your loss,hopefully af doesn't need to show for good reason...dory-glad things have settled down for you,your little one is keeping you on your toes already..scarypinkfairy-i've got 3 cats & drs told me toxoplasmosis is catching from changing cat litter,i think cuddling your amy will be fine,wishing you & dh a happy& healthy pregnancy...afm-waiting for app dates to roll around to be able to start a ivf stim cycle...
SPF - I have spent a lot of the past year wondering what I did and didn't do that may have contributed to my journey. Very helpful family members have also contributed their thoughts. My mum reckons that the cats have got to go and even just their presence is a risk. I have done a lot of research for literature on the risk of cats. The only link I can find so far is toxomoplasmosis, from faeces or from dirt affected with infected faeces. Mostly cats, but some dogs. Most people who have cats will have been exposed to the bacteria and have immunity. You can get a test for you, just a BT and you can get one for your cats, but the vet told me that it would only tell you if the cats had it previously, not if they had it now. Not sure I understand that. But I know lots of people who have cats who successfully carry a pregnancy to term and have a healthy baby, including my mother in law who had 7 the buggers. I don't change the litter. I wash my hands after I pat them or cuddle them. Cats aren't the only source of the bacteria but is the most common. Take care gorgeous.
Hey ladies We Made it thru this Power House Storm they called it..But we expecting more snow on monday or Tuesday already closed schools
We got 17 inches and 5 mins away from us had 20 inches.. We never had a Storm like this since 1993 and they are saying this was the worst one since 1950 WOW 1950?
But we did finally get dugged out and got the cars out from the snow that was like hitting the when your trying to tell 2 grown men( 2 brothers and DF) to keep the wheel straight and keep on the gas.. So ofcourse i took ovr and got all 3 cars out of the snow that was up to the top..LOL I was lol cause they tr
ied for 4 hrs and i got in and gunned it and kept the wheels from turning and woot woot got them out..LOL
I also added pics on to my profile (didnt know if i was allowed to post the link to my pics)
DORY- You are tooo sweet and made me smile but almost cried,
made me feel good knowing i was being thought of THANKS!!
We have been thru alot and we stick by each other no matter what comes are way.
I do believe in my heart we were meant to be places together cause what we been thru,seen,done you would think someone would walk away from it but Nope not us!
I also never thought it would take us 10 yrs( the 10 yrs we been together ) to conceive and then have her taking from us and be starting all back over and i really hope and pray that we conceive soon, cause i cant wait another 10 yrs that and this is very hard on me and i feel its my time to be a "real mother". im 30 and i heard after 35 its pretty muc time to give up so i did tell DF we will keep trying up till im 33 and after that i honestly will give up cause i dont want to go thru the struggles and knowing that it took 10 yrs this time ,and that it could take another 10 yrs is just not what i ever expected.
Dory im not sure if you read my Life story bio i added to the site...i think alot would be shocked at what i been thru in 10 yrs.
Not only have me and DF had problems with out lives ( not between each other) i also i helped raised my brothers 3 children[5,6,7] which i still do
( they pretty much live with me) and helped him get his FULL custody.. on top of this we are fighting for Df son also from a previous relationship..
i also took care of my father(rip) he was bedridden and he lived in my home i took care of him 24/7 i would never of sent him to a nursing home. so i did that for 8 yrs as well along with my own health problems and then TTC as well for 10 yrs.. i could go on and on about me but honeslty im who iam today from what i was in the past
i thank the lord for giving me the life had in the past cause i have bettered my self to be a better women then i ever thought i would be
SO again thanks Dory and Df also said thanks and to the questions about keeping our chin up.. he said you gotta keep your chin up if you want to survive in life and you should never give up on something that you want so bad..you always gotta look into the future not the past.. he said god never gives us more then what we can handle.
SPF- Congrats on the BFP !!! Keep your head up high and believe that this is your time! 3 more days till appt cant wait to find out results of his spermy.. for some reason im soo worried . mind of matter i guess
Kristen- hang in there sweetie and yes it cold, sun is trying to come out Minimatron- Welcome sweetie and so sorry for your loss Matthewsmom- Good luck with the upcoming appts T-hopes- Just saying hi and Murraycod- u can have all the snow Ric havent seen ya around just wondering how you been doing?

SPF-CONGRATZ!!! i think it will work out ok you cant have that many BFP and not be pregnant the doc's one must not be sensitive enough.
TTCALC-wow! that is a lot of snow i had a look at your pics.
Hello to everyone.
AFM-on day 3 of my clearblue fertiliy monitor ive been working a few extra shifts so have not posted as much yesterday i had an unusual experience i was working with a pregnant girl the one who i mentioned a while ago who is 19 and got pregnant to a guy who got another staff member pregnant at the same time so the two bimbos are having the same guys babies due in the same month anyway she just casually said how far where you when you lost Abbi i said 19 weeks 5 days and she goes thats how far i am now and then she said so those tattoo footprints on your wrist are the size my babies footprints are now what could i say to an insensative idiot other than yeh i supose they are and walk away.

On no Melissa, I'm sorry to see you here. Your post sounds very similar to mine from last month. I so dislike the losing control thing which is why I decided to chart during the 'limbo' time. I hope your time here is short. Sorry again babes.
ferrals - glad to see you back in here, am still keeping an eye on you. It occurs to me that perhaps the 19yr old bimbo is actually finally facing up to the reality of how harsh life can be rather than trying to be insensitive. It may have been a moment of realisation for her which, unfortunately, has caused you to feel the hurt again. Kids her age can be pretty tactless. I hope, for her sake, that it was a realisation moment, could show that she's actually growing up.
(ps. I changed user names, just so you know who this is - smallfryplus)
Take care all and I linger to see further good news... SPF, good to see your BFP Congratulations!!
Ferrals - I think sometimes people don't think about what they say and how it could hurt someone else. She's probably so wrapped up in her journey that she has no comprehension on what you are going through.
Hi minimatron sorry you had to join us we all know how you feel its so sad to loose a little one however far along we were from the moment we get 2 lines and a BFP we are planning their lives and sometimes its not always to plan unfortunately for all of us on this thread, we are all here to help you on your journey and have some fun on the way !
SPFAIRY I knew you could do it keep smiling you have a little secret inside ! keep us informed on your progress ! hope to follow you soon !
Dory so glad things have settled I was ing they would you so deserve this little bub and I know you will be a happy Big Belly soon enough keep smiling !
Thanks for asking about Carrie but I have not heard much recently so I just hope she is doing ok I know she is working now and probably trying not to think too much about TTC and just get on with life but thanks for asking !will pass the message on !
Ferrals such a shame how the young girls have no idea how insensitive they can be at times I am sure she just had know idea what she was saying ! I am on tender bricks at the moment as my half sister and my SIL both due anyday now and my family didn't even know I was pregnant at the same time as them so wonder why I am a bit sensitive ATM. But anyways onwards and upwards as they say how does this new gadget of yours work ! this monitor thingy
Murraycod hope your ok looking forward to your transfer which will be here before you know it !
Everyone else hope your doing well not sure who is in my cycle with me anymore as I am totally lost now just waiting to see what happens ! Think I am about day 6 of a new cycle !
AFM well my goodbye was dreadful I never cried so much as I did this last weekend I guess its the realization that I will not know my sons as much as I did as they didn't like Australia that much, its too hot, too big and too far away from everything ! only those who have lived in the UK would say that as everything is ontop of you there, but the fact they can't walk to the local pub apparently makes life back there better don't get it myself but I guess you don't notice grey skies and cold when in the pub !
Well they are welcome to it I love it here in Australia and like they say if you don't love it here leave and so they did !
Anyways life goes on and I am back on the vitex make sure I eat a good breakfast before taking 2 tablets and I get to Ovulate this month !
Ferrals, your a strong woman to walk away XXX Me being a typical RedHead i would have lost it....hopefully seeing Abbi's footprints are a constant reminder for her to grow up.
Crafty, poor boys would have cooked here in Aus!!!! Glad you had a nice visit though X
Have fun being back on the Vitex, hope you tolerate it better this time!
TTCALC, typical men eh?! I loved looking at your photos. You look nothing like I expected, I dunno what I expected but it wasn't it! The snow looks awesome!! Can I have some!! Please!!! I'm melting!!!
Hi to everyone XXX Hope Monday was Kind!!!
{sarah} made me an avvy, I love it so much!!!! And even looks like me! I'm like a little kid with a new toy ATM!!XX
Smallfry- oops i mean littleones glad you still keep an eye on us it's nice to know the ladies who get there BFP's dont just leave and forget us still waiting.
Sarahrach-thanks i supose your right young one's they just don't think before they speak.
Minimatron-welcome hope your time is short and sweet and you get your BFP real soon.
Craftmummy-I'm with you with our cycles i am on day 4 of my cycle but day 3 on my fertility monitor it is pretty nifty on day 1 i set it on M for day one of bleeding then everyday around the same time i turn it on and press the button until it asks me to do a test which is a wee stick then you put it in the machine and it reads the LH hormone and estrogen hormones and it tells you when your fertility is low high or peak at ovulation time it is supose to be 99% accurate if you have reasonably average cycles between 21 days and 45 days so it gives you more fertile days to DTD so to speak anyway has to be better the OPK's.
Sorry your boys didnt like Aus it is a bit hot this time of year but i supose they are young and need to be near friends and the local drinking hole maybe when they are i bit older and settle down they might like the peace and quite and space Australia has to offer and i hope the vitex doesnt make you sick and yes eat first it does help.
Murrycod-i am a redhead and usually do my block if someone p#### me off but you know what i am so emotionaly exhausted with trying to avoid pregnant people and babies and anything that upsets me i just couldnt deal with it i dont have the energy to care what they think anymore i just want to be happy and try and get pregnant and leave all my energy for the 12 week wait until i have a cvs that will need all my strength to get through it i worry about that now and im not even pregnant yet.
Hi to everyone i missed.
AFM-nothing going on with me other than this sixth sense or whatever you call it that i am feeling my family is complete and nature wont let me have my dream of one more bub dont know if its just me being a worry wort or my gut instinct telling me something.
Hi everyone... I've been missing a lot, by the looks of things! Too too busy having fun out there. Started a new job, where I leave the building smiling every day, and have found myself staying back once, just for fun! Far cry from the old dungeon, and I feel so alive now.
I was cleared of any issues back in Jan, but it was all so scary that we thought about just forgetting TTC for a while. Actually, I thought so, DH was not so keen, and wanted me to at least keep charting. So I am, and I'm at 4DP "O"... "o" because I'm a bit iffy on whether or not I actually ovulated - I didn't get a lot of great physical signs that I did, apart from a miniscule drop of CM, and my temps indicate that I have. So we'll see.
We're being forced away on an island getaway this weekend by DH's boss! Have to check out a resort for his work purposes. Gosh darn it, what a burden!
So that's it from here. Hope you girls are all well.
WOOT WOOT THE GIRL IS IN DA HOUSE!!!
Snugglybean, yeah what a burden, are you sure you can handle going on an Island Getaway???....Cuz like, if you can't, I can give you my address so you can post the tickets over to me...just let me know...
Hope you caught that egg honey X Nice to see you X
Ferrals, don't listen to that sixth sence, just keep dreaming you dream, it will come true X We will all be here for you when it does X
Redheads are the best!
Hey Ladies...
Well we thought we was over with on this storm and guess what , we got another one coming toward us expecting to get another 6- 9 inches ,My godness we already got 17 inches.
Murraycod... LOL thanks ,now you got me thinking on what you was actually thinking i would look like.. was u expecting some goofy looking chick that looked like a train hit her..LOL
Now im going to have to start adding more pics /./hehe
oh and you can have all of this snow!!
Ferrals.... hang in there sweetie sorry that she even said that .. i agree with what sarah said but still Its hurtful to us.. some ppl just put there foot in there mouth and not think b4 they speak..
Craftymom...aww sorry about you boys , hang in there and im you O this month to ! you go girl!
For everyone else thinking of ya and for ya!!
AFM.... ONE DAY im fertile, we been bding everysince i stopped af on the 1st..
i he got me or going to get me..LOL
for some reason i sooo want to POAS but im going to wait
be on later ladies
again thanks for all you guys support it sure does mean alot to have friends that are going thru the same things as me
Ferrals you are thinking just like me I also think about my 6th sense telling me to be happy with what I have got ! but you know what I think its just a way we protect ourselves from anymore disapointment or sorrow ! I think its an inbuilt saftey device just incase we totally loose control with not getting a BFP as soon as we would like !
So be positive girl and ask yourself are you ready to give up ? and I know the answer is no so lets get on with it and get what we all deserve weve all been in here too long now !
Snuggly oh what a hard life you have ! enjoy your island getaway !
TTCALC wow thats a lot of snow ! it snowed really bad like that last year the day I left the UK to emigrate to Australia I had 2 wait 2 days in a smoky hotel at the airport for the snow to clear off the runway before I could start my new life so I hate snow for that reason it was dreadful no home and no hubby and 8 kids ( not something i would like to do again )
everyone else keep smiling dory hope your ok and spfairy did you have a BT ?
