Wow. Its so fantastic to have so much good news right now. For the last few months its felt as though we were greeting more women than farewelling. Thats 3 BFPs this month so far. Lets keep them coming. At this rate, we'll have this thread closed down in no time.

AFM - Since the m/c I've been trying not to seem too calculating with timing when we DTD. I don't want DH to feel like a sperm donor. But since I started charting this cycle, DH now has an idea of what day of my cycle it is, and he's the one doing all the calculating. He has the next few days all figured out). Its soooo sweet. He doesn't often tell me how much he wants a baby. I think he doesn't want to add to the pressure I put on myself. But its so nice knowing because I feel like we really are in this together. Just had to share that with you all.

Chappas - Congratulations! I am sooo happy for you, you have been trying so long, Im just so excited for you!

Theresa - Ive been thinking of you lots.

Mel1979 - Glad you had a good appoint with the specialist. I really hope the lap does the trick.

Fifi - congrats on setting a date.

Acria - you ok girl?? havent heard from you in a few days on here.

To everyone else Im praying we see a BFP for each of us!

AFM - Im getting pretty stressed atm. Its BD time for us in the next couple of days and just feeling really down bout it all, I just have put my hopes so high and for it not to work and give me a BFP or even to not ovulate will just be such a blow!Its really hard to think of anything else at this time but TTC! so very frustrated with myself as I dont want to be stressing about TTC or let it control my life. I really want to go on a cruise in April holidays but so scared If I am preg by then, ill lose it on the cruise and wont be near a doc or Ill miss a bloodtest or something! anyways just me havin a rant!
Have a good day.

Hannah - just wanted to say that I'm so glad you are getting so much quiet positivity and support from your dh. As lovely as my dh is, I don't think that I had that feeling as often as I would have liked from him. Hope you're doing ok in yourself now - also hope the next few days gives you lots of chances to catch that eggie :fertilise:!

Hi evryone just wanted to wish Theresa a big congratulations, here's to 9 happy and healthy months.
As I am relatively new to all this I just wanted to also congratualate all the ladies that are pregnant now, I read about your losses and it's so reassurring to see a happy outcome for you all. To all the other girls waiting for their baby, I'm sure it will come soon for us real soon.
I did get some psitivity this week, one of my work colleagues put me onto her gyno that also assisted one of her friends to fall pregnant, We are having a refreshing break to the sunshine coast at the end of feb so when we get back I'll be going to see him; which I'm feeling really hopeful about it.
AJC- thankyou for your post about the naturopath, I have actually made an appointment to see one which helped a mum from work (im a child care worker) fall pregnant, she swears by her so fingers crossed she can help me too.
I bought a book on ebay called avoiding miscarriage, Has anyone read it??
Good luck again to everyone waiting on results trying to fall over the next couple of days (dont have the internet at home so unfortunately cant get on everyday)

hello everyone ~ what an exciting time!
It's great reading over the last few days' posts and seeing so much happy news, or at least positive vibes. You're all so inspirational how you are tapping into those 'wells' of strength and determination.
Congrats to the BFP's!!!! Hopefully all your :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: and :bluedust::pink-babydust: is contagious.
Nothing much else to say. I'm feeling a bit flat today, but cheered by your stories.
Take care everyone.

I really need some educating on how to use sites like this, How do i put the little smily faces and info about me at the bottom of my post??

First things first...
Chapas, Easha & Theresa: CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR:bfp::cheer: !!!!!!! WWAAAHHOOOOOO!!! Wishing you all a H& H 9 months and baba!!! Way to go ladies!!

AFM:
To all my girlies... I have nothing but good news!! This year is looking up already!!!!
First.. my mama is CANCER FREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!:dance::leap: Her results were in and it is a calcium buildup again.. she needs surgery still but hey.. it's NOT CANCER!! WWAAHOOOOO!!!!!!!
seeecoonndd........ We were all approved HI from the sate and I called the fertility Clinic I was going to see.... and the receptionist told me they take my HI and to call tomorrow to make an appmt ... YESSSSSSS!!!! I might see the fertility specialist on the beginning of FEB!!!! Soooooo that means that FINALLY I will have the medical help I need.. first to get AF which I haven't since my m/c & D&Con 9/12 and then take it from there.. I'm sure I will be put on Glucophage for my insulin resistance and Clomid for ovulation and very likely progesterone supplements/suppositories or a shot to ensure MY DREAM WILL COME TRUE AFTER ALL!!!!!!:pray:

Oh Ladies.. I'm in the 9th cloud right now.. I know I've had enough bad things and FINALLY things are looking up!!!!
So I will be back in the TTC game on Feb.. I'm SOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!:lol:

Thank you all for your love and support.. when I needed you most.. 2008 was a really bad year for me.. I wouldn't have made it through w/o all of you!!!!:redface:
2009 has been nothing but what I hoped for.. +++++++++++++!!!!!!

We WILL ALL have our miracles this year!! COUNT ON IT!!!!!


FINALLY SMILING:...Ruthie:D

Ruthie - YAY, That's wonderful news, about your mum, your HI and your appointment. Looking forward to seeing your BFP very soon.

Jackjack - If you go to the top of the screen - look for "User Profile" click on it, down the listing will be edit signature, go into that and you can add info about yourself. There is a limit to the amount of lines you can add (not sure where to find this info). You can also add tickers in here. The smilies are the same as the ones when you make a post. Hope that helps. If not, yell out and someone will post more info for you.

HannahD - thanks for asking. I'm doing good. Still Trying not to TTC. I'm quite happy to let nature take its course. "Whatever will be, will be". If I manage to fall pg, I would be over the moon, but I'm not devastated that it's not happening. Although with all of these new BFP's, they are coming from the girls who m/c the same time as I did, so maybe...........

Chappas - CONGRATULATIONS. Wishing you a very happy & healthy 9 months (well only 8 to go now hey WOOHOO)!!!!!! :happyforyou:

Ruthie - I'm so pleased to hear the good news about your Mum. Phew, what a relief. Good luck for your FS appointment and yes, your dream will come true :dance:

smilinatu - Congrats on the great scan results. That is wonderful. :confetti:

Hannah - I stopped telling my DH when the fertile time was - I just found it 'took the pressure off' so to speak. Plus like you say I didn't want him to feel like we were just bd for 1 reason.

Fifi - Congrats on the prov. wedding date. I love weddings, our wedding day was the best day of our lives until we had Sam, now it's the second best, he he he. Enjoy making your plans cause once the day comes it goes so quickly you blink and you miss it!!!

Big Hugs for everyone else.

erybery - Seems like you could do with a big :hug: Since my loss, I too have been stressing about TTC a lot more than I did first time round. I just try to remind myself that even if we don't conceive this cycle, there are still special moments DH and I can share just the two of us. Sending you lots of :bluedust:

jenushka - Thanks for thinking of me. I am feeling a little better than I was last week. Work has been busy so I think thats helped keep me occupied. I'm just hanging out to talk to my doctor next week. :hug: for you and :bellyrubs: for your little one.

jackjack - I hope the gyno and naturopath work for you.

meh - :hug:

Ruthie - So glad you're mum is gonna be okay. And yay for HI. :dance: Goodluck with the FS. Hopefully now you can get the help and support you need.

mollycat - I wish I could have your 'zen' attitude. You seem to be in a really good place. And you never know, BFPs could be contagious.

AJC - The other night, DH actually told me that the only reason he wanted me was to make a baby! LOL

Hi ladies

Chappas - Woohoo!!!!!! I am soooooo excited! Congratulations! Do you know yet how far along you are? We will only be days apart!!!

Fifi - Congratulations on your wedding date. I know it is going to be a spectacular day as it is the day Zachary was born!!! Good luck xxx

Smilanatu - I am so happy your scan went well and your bub is healthy!!

Erybery - Thanks hun. When it is time to TTC I think we all become a bit obsessive so don't be too hard on yourself. I don't think anyone but people who are TTC will understand just how stressful it can be - and how disappointing it can be when we get a BFN. I am praying you get the BFP you so deserve. If you are pg you can put the cruise on hold (save up for my wedding as we are getting married on a cruise!)

meh - Sending you a big :hug:

Ruthie - I am so happy the news is good for your mom! I am doing a happy dance right now for you both! I can't put into words how happy I am for you.

Mollycat - :hug: Thinking of you xx

Hannah - Hope you are feeling a bit better :hug:

AFM - I am hoping to get an appointment soon with the OB and Diabetic specialist. They said I would get a letter in the mail!!! This is when I don't have patience (Smilanatu :D) SO waiting for that so we can get things on track.

Hannahd - Thankyou! Its great that your dh is so supportive.

Erybery- Thankyou! Know how it feels to be stressing,its so hard to think of anything else.

Jackjack - Glad you are feeling more hopeful,break to the sunshine coast sound just what you need.

Ruthie - Thats great news about your mum and that you got your appointment for the specialist.

Mollycat - :crossfingers: for you

Ajc - Thankyou, Big hugs for baby samuel

Zacharysmom - Thankyou, checked my due date this morning is around 21st sept

:hello: to Meh,Jen and everyone else. Sending lots of:bluedust: to you all

AFM - Made appointment with midwife today 10th Feb, also seeing doctor next week as have to get some tests done as suffered bad with gest diabetes and pre-eclampsia when carrying DD

Chappas, Theresa, HannahD, AJC & Molycat: THANK YOU!!! ♥:grouphug: I'm so very happy and excited. My mom is so relieved even though she is not looking forward to the poking and cutting her boobs again. But they have to get that out.

I know my FS apptmnt. will be mostly talking about my history and all that.. but I know it will be a step forward to achieving y dream this year. I'm so putting all my heart into this....this is the only way I can have a baby.. with meds and a FS monitoring my babba every week. I know I get all emotional when good things happen... but it's that my heart has taken so much in the past few months.. I feel sore. lol :redface: (literally)

God bless you all and may these coming months be full of good (baby) surprises to all of us!!:pray:

Fifi: Congrats on the wedding date!! I too can say it was the best day of my life.. my honeymoon topped it!!! ..Then Erick's birth topped it all off...lmao
There is only ONE thing I have to say... (a weird joke really)
" You can regret the groom..BUT NEVER THE DRESS!!!!!!!!":p:D:doh:

To my TTCing friends.. ****lots of BABY DUST this month***

chappas--OMG, OMG, OMG!! Congrats on your BFP!! :leap: Thrilled for you, hon... wishing you a happy and healthy 9 mo's!! :stickyvibesboy:



HannahD--Glad to read that you're feeling better! I'm really wishing I could give your DH a big hug for being so sweet and supportive to you! Not only does he sound supportive, but super excited and determined to bring you your dream come true! :hug:



:hello: and big, big *hugs* for jenushka,rach, Mel, AJC, & meh



fifi--Congrats on setting your wedding date! You're going to be a busy girl... baby plans, wedding plans... is that why you missed chat this am? lol.... Big *hugs* and bellyrubs!! Oh, and have to say Yay for those little alien moves--I LOVED watching my belly shift from side to side! It really does look like there's an alien moving around in there, doesn't it? rofl...



smi--So happy and relieved for you that your scan went well! :hooray: Sounds like you've got a wild one in there!



mollycat--Missed our chat this morning! I woke up and nobody was online! :doh: I'm happy that we get to occasionally chat during the week--but wish we could more often! *hugs*



erybery--It's so hard not getting your hopes up each month... and so frustrating and defeating when it doesn't work out the way we hoped! :hug: Just try to enjoy wearing those BD'ing shoes... and if you can, try to focus on the time you're spending with your DH instead of time that you're "baby dancing" (IYKWIM)... maybe that will take some pressure off both of you. Sending lots of *babydust* your way!!



jackjack--I had such a hard time finding the smilies when I joined! I think everyone thought I was the biggest bonehead because everyone else has a little happy face that they can click on when they're posting to access the smilies... well, I have a Mac... so I don't have that little smilie icon to click on when I post! Like mollycat said, I had to go up to the "user profile" and then "edit signature" to even get to see the smilies. Then once I found them, I had to write them all down on paper so that I didn't have to go thru all those steps just to put smilies in my posts! Now I've got them all memorized, so it's easy for me to just type in the code... but imagine how lame people thought I was for not clicking on an icon that wasn't even there! rofl... Good luck, and can't wait to see your sig!



Ruthie--:hooray: SO thrilled to hear your mom is cancer free!!! What a blessing! All this great news must be a sign of good things to come for you this year! Congrats on the health insurance, as well! What made me the happiest, hon, was the end of your post when you wrote "finally smiling"! You've needed to smile for TOO long!! Big *hugs*

Morning ladies...

Got a call from the doctor yesterday...when I went in on Monday my urine had some protein...then on Wednesday my BP was high...150/80 (actually very high for me I'm usually around 85/65) anyway we kind of dismissed it because I was soooo nervous about the scan...turns out my urine on Wednesday had even more protein so now I have to do a 24hr catch...I am so worried because I have Lupus and it is really early in my pregnancy for preeclampsia...

Please keep us in your :pray:

Congrats chappas!

Congrats to all the :bfp: Let's keepem' comin'!

Theresa...LOL...patience has never been a quality I possess *wink*
