Jen - LOL at your DH and his masochism! Your DH sounds a bit like mine Funny how we both have more of the negative traits than the positive ones, but I have to agree with babymiracles that it is one of the best fitting list of Pisces traits for me I have ever seen. Transcendental - I thought that was a bit like spiritual, in touch with God/spirits/the afterlife and stuff like that?? I'm not 100% sure, but all of that is soooo not me! LOL at your list too, I had forgotten about that...
Princess - Good luck for this month, and hope you have a lovely time at your engagement party
erybery - Yay for a great prog level! Unfortunately though, it doesn't tell you anything about whether you are pg or not all it indicates is that your corpus luteum is functioning well enough to support a pregnancy in the early stages. I have been pg with a prog of 50 and not pg with prog of 30, 49 and 63 just to give you an idea of how it can vary. Personally I think your best bet would be to wait a week and do a HPT, but I have to admit I did so many early HPTs myself in the early TTC days that were neg so I just got totally over seeing them and wasting my $$ only to have AF show up! I just stopped doing them in the end. But wishing you heaps of good luck for this cycle.
HannahD - Thanks for that! I guess I will have to start telling soon, but its just a bit scary KWIM? That was one of the terrible (but obviously not the worst) things after the m/c - untelling everyone
Easha - GL for your scan on Fri, fingers and everything crossed that all will be well. I know how you feel about the PAML thread too, I still haven't been quite able to bring myself to post there yet either.
RachelS - Glad to hear everything is going well.
Ruthie - Oh thanks so much hun, I really hope things get back on track for you soon with the PHI and AF arriving. It is so not fair that you have to go through all of this after what has happened to you. Is there anyone you can chase after to get this card so you can get things happening with the FS? I'm sorry I forgot to say that that is great that your Mum is cancer free - I hope that the meds get rid of the mass so she doesn't have to have surgery As for your friend, well the less said about that the better!
fifi - GL for you midwife appt tomorrow!
Mel - Sorry I forgot you yesterday Hope you are going well hun!
Hugs and hi to everyone else, might have to go and have a nana nap before I pick up DD from preschool....
Just dropping in to give a better-late-than-never CONGRATULATIONS to Babymiracles . Wishing you a healthy and uneventful nine months
Little update on me: Day 4 from IVF egg pickup. Had a good result, six of nine mature eggs fertilised properly and yesterday on Day 3, five were still Grade 1 (good). For those not in the know I am doing IVF with PGD (pre-implantation genetic diagnosis) to cut out the risk of common chromosonal abnormalities (and therefore lessen my chance of MC). If any make it to Day 5/6 they will be biopsied and a good one, transferred. This stage is a tense time ATM. Will keep you posted.
OMG - So sorry I have not posted in what seems so long. I am so behind so I will not even attempt to catch up. Been so busy, have had time to lurk and read but not to post. Don't worry I have still been checking in with you all. Had really sore eyes for the last week so trying to cut back my time at the computer too. Went to the optometrist today and turns out I need stronger lenses in my glasses. I only wear glasses at work in front of the computer so I was worried I may have to wear them full time.
I am going to try a few persies - big apology to anyone I may miss!
Babymiracles - Woo-hoo! I had such a good feeling this was going to be your month. Wishing you a H&H 9 months (or I guess I should say 8 now?).
Hannah - I really hope the counselling helps. I completely understand not wanting to take the medication. It's a catch 22, you want to start to feel better about things but you don't want anything to hinder the TTC process. You will be such a great mum, you are already looking out for your little one before they are conceived Hope this is your cycle.
WTH - Best of luck
Megsmum - Yah for your 12 week scan! So happy it all went well. Wishing you the very best.
erybery - So happy to hear about your levels - hope this is the cycle for you! I have had prog levels of 37 and 32 and both times not pg, as Megsmum said I think it can really vary. Sending lots of baby dust your way though.
Shortcake - I hope you find some answers and AF arrives soon so you can start TTC again. It must be so frustrating
Easha - Good luck for your scan!
RRK - Welcome but sorry you have to be here. The girls are here are so wonderful which is why our pg friends still pop in from time to time. Hopefully we will all be in the PAML thread together soon.
Ruthie - Sorry you are having a bad time, I hope your HI cards arrive soon so you can see the specialist.
Jen - Love the list - so true!
Theresa - I hope I have congratulated you? If not, I am so sorry. CONGRATULATIONS!!! Best of luck for your scan!
Big Hi to everyone I have missed, I will catch up, eventually. I have missed you all and will try to do better
AFM - Got my chromosome results back today and they are all clear - DH & I are a match! I already knew that but nice to know officially Officially in the TWW but haven't really taken notice this month as just counting down to my op on the 10th. My specialist said even just having a 'clean out' of my tubes and uterus can help so that is something to hold on to.
Will try to post again before Friday then off to Melbourne for the weekend in the 40+ degree heat. It's even 34 degrees here today, sitting in front of the air-con...........
Mel - thanks so much honey. Good luck with the op and enjoy the heat in melbourne. In Adelaide today it is 45 degrees!!!! -
Zachary's mum - scan is not too far away - that is very exciting. I do not know when my scan is yet as they haven't called me with a time but suspect three weeks from today - seems such a long time - one day at a time I guess
WTH: thanks for the congrats. Have been wondering how you are getting on. Wow that is a great result so far - you seem to have made some lovely embryos - will be thinking of you over next few weeks - I know it can be such a stressful time and so many stages to get through. this is the cycle for you and we can be belly buddies
Rachel: glad things are going so well and it is lovely to have you pop in. I am not quite ready to leave this thread even though I got my BFP on monday - think I will need at least a few more weeks to feel confident I can move on IYKWIM
Fificlaire - good luck with appointment - wow 28 weeks already - that is so lovely
Ruthie: Thanks for the congratulations. You hang in there honey - hope your HI card arrives very soon, and your mum has been in my thoughts.
Karen Van - thanks honey
Easha - good luck with scan on Friday. everything will be perfect
HannahD: Thanks sweetie. How did you cope with the 45 degrees today? Have been thinking of you - how is councelling going? Hope you are feeling okay. Private message me if you wanna talk more - I have also been through similar thing re decisions about being on antidepressant or not and one of my roles in life is that I am a pharmacist so can give you lots of facts etc to help with your decision - if you think that would be helpful at all
Erybery: congrats on the progesterone level - it definately indicates that you have ovulated but really gives no indication for success of pregnancy at this stage. When I had the test my progesterone on day 21 was 91 and I didn't get pregnant that cycle. But the fact you are clearly ovulating is very positive! Good luck sweetie
princess: good luck with this cycle
Jen: great list! Could relate to a lot of that I am afraid. Hope you are having nice weather in your part of the world. We have just had the hottest adelaide day in 70 years today - 45 degrees celcius!!
To everyone else
AFM: one day at a time at the moment. Very bloated with mild hyperstimulation syndrome so a bit uncomfortable - but it will be all sooo worth it if everything continues to go smoothly. Stick little one stick!
Easha - You'll know when you're ready to tell people. Goodluck for the u/s on Friday. It WILL be okay.
Karen van - I love a good tanty. Its healthy to have one every now and then. I hope you feel a little better for it.
jen - I'm that this is your month too! I loved the list. lol
rachelswirl - Congratulations on having a boy! for Joshua.
Ruthie - I hope the HI cards arrive soon.
fifi - Goodluck with your appointment. I'm sure all will be well.
megsmum - I do know what you mean. I agree that while untelling people isn't the hardest thing about m/c, it certainly doesn't help having to relive it everytime you 'untell' someone. Take all the time you need. People will figure it out for themselves eventually anyway.
WTH - I'm that this cycle brings your forever baby.
Theresa - Glad you're feeling better. Goodluck with the first scan.
Mel - Thanks, you're so sweet. That's great news about the chromosome results. Another thing ruled out. Enjoy your trip to Melbourne.
babymiracles - I usually cope really well with heat, but even I'm feeling 45 degrees. My office was a little cold today, but now I'm home and our house really holds the heat. Today is the first day that I'm glad I'm not 36 weeks pregnant (which I would be if not for m/c). And thanks for the offer. I might take you up on it if I think of any more questions.
AFM - I'm so mad at myself. I have another doc appointment tomorrow morning. I had this list of things I wanted to discuss and have left it at work on the other side of town! Now I can't for the life of me remember what was on the list. At least all these appointments have given me something else to think about besides TWW.
Have been lurking the last couple of weeks as have been so busy with training for the new job for the past 2 weeks have just not had any time for myself at all. I have a new iphone however the window is so small when I've been checking this website it would take me a whole hour or so to just type up a quick reply. And the training does not stop here, I'm off to Brisbane for just under two weeks for more training argh!!! so once again I'll be MIA. Hubby will come down next weekend at least so we can spend some time together while Im training. Unfortunatley for him his company went into voluntary recievership so he's been off work for about 2 weeks now, so he's a kept man at the moment LOL...he will be going into business for himself so he's in the planning stages now.
AFM - on the TTC side, well I'll officially start charting again next cycle (its been good to have a break!) and will be going for a blood test after I get back from Brisbane to check my Thyroid Stimulating Hormone, hoping the tablets are working, if not the dosage will have to be increased, been on them for 4 weeks now. Apart from this we started our diets today so wish us luck, not that DH needs to lose weight he has a great body but maybe to lose a bit of beer belly would be good
OK well sorry I have no persies for you all, its so hard just keeping up, I do think of you all and hope that your ttc journey's are progressing as they should. I must say though that Im so happy for you BABYMIRACLES....just great great news....goodluck and Im wishing you lots of joy and happiness for the next 9 months!! To everyone else babydust and to all those lovely ladies who are pregnant stickyvibes coming your way.... will try and do better at persies when I get back into a proper routine in my new job...
I have been away for a few weeks trying to get my brain straight as I think I slipping into obsession about this TTC thing- and not in a good way...
Jen I LOVED your list- made me laugh lots and lots.
I am still trying to catch up at the moment but lots of for all the BFP and great scans that are popping up everywhere, well done all of you, think you are all awesome!!
Ruthie and Hannah, my thoughts are with you, sending you lots of strength and positive vibes, hang in there, things will sort themselves out- I have to believe this a lot at the moment. Haven't been traveling very well myself at the moment, have booked into to talk to a councilor and think it will help to get it all out. Have to try and move past sad and find some hope again.
WTH- wishing all your hormones high from over here!
Afraid don't have time for anything else at the moment, life is busy if nothing else. So lots of love and hugs to all of you.
Quick AFM- I really should be feeling very positive, all our tests came back 'normal' (clotting, thyroid, karyotype etc) so that is really very good. Am right in the middle of the TTW (and going crazy- are my BBS hurting more or less? Have I been peeing more??? Argg, not helpful!) But I will be testing with a few of you in the middle of next week so hopefully there will be lots of for us then.

FINALLY!! We got some good snow today!!... After remembering how awesome the snow blizzards were in NYC when I was a child.. things have changed here a lot... it's like global warming and all that has impacted winters here .. all we've seen is a little bit of snow and little flurries.
I'm looking out my window and everything looks white and clean.. (till midday I bet.. it can get gross when the cars pass by and the snow gets all dirty)..so am here thinking happy thoughts. Today is a perfect day to stay in bed and be warm.. unfortunately I have a little girl here (the baby I babysit for )who is nearly screaming cuz she needs attention...LOL sleepy perhaps
she's 10 mo and so adorable. Def helps soothe my wanting a baby need.
It's fun to see Erick interact with her... I just can't wait to give him a sibling.. cuz its' sooooooooo different when the child is not yours...
but I guess it serves as practice.lol on March I might get a second baby to watch.. I think he will be like 3 mo.. but not sure yet.
The $$ I make might help with fertility meds when and if I see the FS.
Jen: Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. Much appreciated love and the list makes me laugh every time I read it.. MAADDD true and funny!
Megsmum: yeah. no comment on my friend. About you hun... I'm so very glad you;re past the first "walking on thin ice" trimester.
From the bottom of my heart I wish you the very best love. It must be such a relief after going through all we have. Good luck sweets!
WTH: Wishing you the most +++ and best results this IVF cycle!
sending you baby dust and sticky vibes!
AJC: Hi Doll.
Zacharys mom: I'm glad you feel better hun. baby dust sticky vibes
Mel: Hi ... girl I have been wearing glasses since I was 9... so switching to contacts at times is such a relief...lol
I an nearsighted and have a LOT of astigmatism.. so I can't see much after 3 feet and I get blurred vision. uughhh
Glasses have become a lot more fashionable these days.. maybe it's a good excuse to get new one. I love mine.
I got these pair fro Gucci..very small transparent with black in it and even bejeweled so cute!
Thank you for your good wishes hun.
Babymiracles: We are all rooting for ya girl!!! Hoping everything goes smoothly and you have a healthy baby!!!!
Chappas, Easha, Karen: Thinking of you newly preggo girlies & wishing you a H&H 9 months and baby!
HannahD: Thank you hun.
Mannie: Hi hun... WOW looks like you have been pretty busy girl. Take it a day at a time hun. Thinking of you love. Hugs
Indy: Praying for a BFP for you girly!! It's ok to be TTC obsessed... I think trying to create a baby out of love and not an "oops"... is a noble thing.
Planning for it... even if it means pulling every strand of our hairs in frustrations.. but once we got that baby inside growing healthy... it will be all WORTH the hair pulling.
Good luck sweets!
Well ladies.. I will do my best Not to stay a lurker for too long... I will pop my head in here once in a while.. I'm going back to be a lurker. till something new shows up.
Love you all girlies and thank you so much for being so AWESOME!
Ruthie

megsmum--Big *hugs* for my fellow Piscean! Are you trying to say your DH fits the Pisces masochistic trait?
WTH--Sending lots of positive vibes and massive loads of
Theresa--Glad you're feeling better and you liked the addicted list! We had a lot of fun making it! Less than 2 weeks to go until your scan!
Mel--Great news about the chromosome results! Sorry to hear your eyes have been sore, hopefully the stronger lenses will help. Hope you have a great weekend in Melbourne!
babymiracles--My other fellow fish friend! OMG... that heat sounds terrible! I had to look up the conversion to fahrenheit so I could be properly sympathetic--that's 113F!! Crazy! We broke some records over the summer as well, unfortunately it's winter here for us, but it's been a warmer winter than usual for us so far... knock on wood! Supposed to be in the 70's for us this weekend--which is the 20's for you girls. Hope the bloating gets better! Sending some
Sorry, will have to finish persies in a while. Have to run to the school real quick.... DS home sick AGAIN with strep throat!! This makes 5 times in about 6 months! Have to call the dr. today and get him in for some meds, but have to go let the school know that he won't be there. Plus, I still have to collect the recycle and the spaghetti dinner money, so be back soon!
Hello everyone!
All your posts are so filled with love for all your children, those whom you have carried, are carrying, and will carry, that I know everyday more I have landed in a place full of wonderful ladies. You are in my thoughts!
Thanks for the input regarding menses after m/c. This has been going on for 13 days now and I am starting to feel the consequences of low iron, I guess.
The list of addiction symptoms is hilarious!
Has anyone thought about, or already posted, a dictionary of the abbreviations used on this site? They are fun! It's like learning a totally new language.
Mannie--Good luck with your diet and hope you get good results on your thyroid tests in a couple weeks! I'm getting mine tested next week sometime. Hope you're enjoying the training for your new job, and have a safe trip to Brisbane. Wishing your DH the best of luck with his new business! *hugs*
Indy--Sounds like you could use a I'm sorry you've been so down, I hope that speaking to a counselor will help! I'm really glad that your tests all came back normal. Looks like we'll be testing together next week! Sending lots of Oh, glad you liked the addicted list, and it gave you a much needed laugh!
Ruthie--Don't be a lurker for too long! Keep us posted on your mom and your HI, we'll be thinking of you and praying for you both!
RRK--You can find a thread for abbreviations/common jargon on the bb main site page. It's a huge help when you're trying to figure out what the heck everyone is saying! lol... It definitely is a language of it's own! Hope it helps lessen the confusion! *hugs*
Fluffy Bubblelips--Oh, I mean fifi-- Sorry, just came across our list of names from that silly e-mail we did! Had a little chuckle to myself over them! So happy your appt. went well, and everything is progressing perfectly!! But we already knew bub was perfect, didn't we? Lots of from Auntie Sloopy ChickenNose!
Mannie - Hope your enjoying the training. I wish your DH success with his new business. I also hope the medication is working to get your thyroid under control. with the diet.
Indy - I'm sorry you're having a hard time. I hope taking to someone helps. Glad all your tests came back normal. Wishing you a BFP next week.
Ruthie - Enjoy the snow. We're currently in our first heatwave of the summer. 6 days at least (everyday they seem to add a day) straight of over 40 degrees (I think thats around 104 fahrenheit) and its currently day 3. And don't be a lurker, I need updates. Thinking of you.
jen - I hope DS gets better quickly.
RRK - If you go to the forum main page, there is a forum titled forum help, abbreviations and FAQ's. There's quite a comprehensive list of abbreviations there.
fifi - Of course bubs is perfect, but its good to be reassured. Thanks for keeping us updated.
babymiracles - Have you melted yet? Apparently it didn't get below 30 last night. Yet it was the first night I've slept right through in weeks. Hope you're holding up okay.
Hi everyone sorry I haven't been around over the past few days Have been quite sick with those migraines again and now have the flu too. I'm not even going to try and catch up i think there were like 4 or 5 pages at least since my last one so i think I'll just have to catch up as i go along.
I finally went to see that neurologist about the numbing pain in my left thigh and adter some simple tests have found out that i have a condition (which i cant for the life of me remember the name of) Basically the nerve that travels from my groin down my thigh is being irritated and whenever pressure is put on it it will get worse like throughout pregnancy and having 3 D&C's in the last 12 months haven't helped. The doctor said that when we do fall pregnant that I may need to get some injections to minimise the pain because the baby weight will make it quite severe.
Yesterday I went to see my gp about these migraines and flu only to find out that she was away so had to see another doctor. After talking about my current illness he began asking about the baby stuff and went onto tell me that we need not worry about testing about the miscarriages because we've only had two and that two isn't a concern. I'm just scared to go through it again and so I wanted some answers, is that silly of me?? I'm really confused now, doctors can be so contradicting.
So on the baby front asides from the doctors I am still bleeding. My husband is worried because about a week or two ago the bleeding stopped so we and then i started bleeding again and now he's concerned that he's hurt me or done some damage.. I told him that's silly but he's really stressing about it. Does anyone now how long is too long too have a period for or bleed for after an op? It's been going on for over 2 months and I cant tell what is my period or if I've even had one at all!! I'm very frustrated at the moment I just want to start trying again. Sorry that this one was very all about me girls. I am thinking of everyone and hoping to hear some in the next couple of days.
for your health ins. cards to show up!! Your mom's still in my thoughts and prayers!
Your DH sounds a bit like mine

Officially in the TWW but haven't really taken notice this month as just counting down to my op on the 10th. My specialist said even just having a 'clean out' of my tubes and uterus can help so that is something to hold on to. 
for Joshua.
for all the BFP and great scans that are popping up everywhere, well done all of you, think you are all awesome!!
for us then.
We had a lot of fun making it! Less than 2 weeks to go until your scan!
