now that comes off a web site that has soooo much information on, but i m not allowed to post it or I ll have my fingers smacked by BB, but if you pm me I ll send you the link.....ohhh its easier to read on the web site too
ajc and angel, thank you to you both for the reassurance!
tutmae: id like to keep having regular tests done, but im not sure that hubby wants to, he gets so nervous whenever we do a test! so, im not sure yet!
OMG you girls can talk - this is the first chance i've had all day to get near the computer - and it's taken me ages to catch up.
Angel Babies - how cute of your DH to spill the beans. Good luck finding the test.
Tina - great results
Jen - Glad that cleaning fairy found you - not quite what I had in mind but .... I love garage sales, DH and I can often be found wandering around on saturday mornings chasing bargains. So when's yours we'll be over LOL
Smilanatu - Enjoy your DVD weekend. I love the term "rodeo" I'll have to let DH know that one, he'll get a kick out of it
Krystie - how about together (then our bubs can be born together)
Ruthie - hope that test isn't playing tricks on you. Good luck with the next one.
krystie: glad to hear you didnt get a black eye from that crazy old bird! af is long gone right? cant wait til you start making bubs again so we'll all be belly buddies!
tina: great results! if you dont mind so much, can you please have your blood sucked out into a tube so we can see the numbers increase nicely? that will be nice! thanks very much!
tutmae: oh what a nice mental pic you've painted of yourself! now you got that image stuck in my head! i think a nice granny gown will go nicely dont you think?
jen: im thinking that maybe i did o on the cd17, i remember having a bit of watery cm coupla days before that, but didnt think it meant anything cos there was too little of it to begin with - & i'd told myself i wouldnt rely on temps & only dtd when i see fertile cm. geesh. so im going with what ff says. at least that makes me further along! i hope i o'd right on friday night so then the satday morning bding would have paid off! how are you doing in this tww???
angel & ruthie:
jenushka: so happy for you! so are you going to find out if its a boy or girl?
van: thanks hon, ill try to keep getting stabbed for your peace of mind! he he he!!!!
hope FF is right for a change, and you O'd on Friday when you thought you did...so when are you going to test?
PLC: thanks so much sweetheart! praying for a sticky one!
so, i rang to make my first OB appointment today. Shes going to get back to me re whether its best for me to fly to Sydney for my appointments, or find someone to do "shared care" with here in Melbourne...well see...
Tina - I've just pulled out my pathology results from the last hcg test I had done. I always had all the results faxed to me because I like to actually SEE them, hehe. Anyway, it has the normal reference ranges on it that Melbourne Pathology use, and the ranges around 5 weeks are:
4-5 weeks: 75-2600
5-6 weeks: 850-20800
So I think your hcg is at a fantastic level!!!
My ob was really good. I also have a back-up ob that I want to see next time I'm pregnant too, because I got some lovely letters from him when I booked and when I lost my angel. Let me know if you want their details.
Jen - Stupid non-parachute wearing rogue thermometers!
Tutmae - Did I mention that your EGCM is making me even more convinced that you are ovulating right now?!!
Oh, and don't forget your half bottle of vodka and a ciggie hanging out your mouth to complete the "sheer picture of sexiness"
LOL, just read your JT comment. Now I'm picturing you singing like JT in your hair rollers and ugg boots!!!
Mollycat - Great idea! Shall we make an "ovulation date"?
Van - Yep, AF was kicked out the door! I'm 6DPO today so hopefully the time will fly and then I'll be in my fertile period. We're going to try to bd in time with my lunar cycle this month too. I looked it up and missed out by 4 days with my last lunar cycle. Poo! Hopefully I'll be pregnant from my normal cycle before my next lunar cycle peaks anyway!
AFM - You know how with old computer games you could "clock" them...? When you got a score too high for it to register and it would start back at 0? Well, I "clocked" my phone last night!!! Oops. I was on the phone to my best friend for so long that when I hung up the phone said that we'd only been talking for 11 minutes. I can tell you that it was hours longer than that hehe. I miss her soooooo much. She's living in Perth at the moment and I miss her and her son. I was at her son's birth so I feel a certain connection with him, so it's horrible not to be able to see him. I want to squish him sooooo much (in the nicest possible way of course)
for everyone
TINA - YAY FOR YOU - Congrats on being OFFICIAL!!!
