[ferrals5]

woohoo! congrtz chickybabe that was quick you just came to this thread and a BFP already.

Sunbeam-i have my finger's crossed RB stay's away for you and wed is your day.

AFM-had my 1st day of IVF appt came home exhausted with a bag full of goodie's heaps of ultrasound and pathology form's and prescription's for all my medication's they are going to start me on a short cycle (orgalutran) very exspensive $90 an injection plus the FSH and trigger injection's and tomorrow we go back for another day of appointment's then we are all set to start as soon as the scientist's gives the thumb's up that our probe is ready in 8 week's i can start on day 1 of my cycle so it's all happening and going pretty quick now just this stupid probe we are waiting for and i also found out the government got there way the medicare rebate is being scraped for ivf in jan so it looks like will just make it in time for one maybe two cycles if nothing goe's wrong.

Chicky babe -=- CONGRATS! all the best with ur pg hope it gets u a sweet lil bubsy at the end of it all!!

Sammy -=- Whats going on? How are you?

Sunbeam-=- I hear you.. I think we are also in about our 18-20th month.. There abouts anyway. And I also see the 2 year mark as such a bring down.. I also dnt hold too much hope out for this mnth either.. I still havnt gotten any symptoms of either AF or pg but Ive dne two more negatives today so.. yeeaaahhh..

I know how you feel.. I guess just try to remember that its not over till RB arrives!! Thats what im sticking to till the end, so just know we can go down fighting! lol

AFM -=- Here are Ten reasons why Im not going to get down if AF arrives this month

- My DS started a new toilet training tactic with us on saturday.. We threw out all his nappies and started cold turkey training day and night with lots of praise ! Its day two and hes already doing wees on the big toilet and has gone two nights dry in bed

- I learnt how to make pastry from scratch today and made a kickass vege mince and vegetables cheese and gravy pie for dinner!

- Ive lost weight and get to go on walks everyday with our puppy

-I have a wonderful husband that supports me with everything I want to do and prefers to spend his weekends with me and DS than on bingers with his "mates"

-We are renting a pretty little house that i love more and more every day and one day we are going to buy and do up

- Theres nothing our doctor can find wrong with either of us and its only a matter of time b4 we have another healthy lil baby

- We have gud baby names picked out LOL

- We are all healthy

-Im lodging my "driving logbook" tomorow and fineally get to go for my liscence within the next fortnight and will be able to get us around so much easier

_Its warming up and winter is nearly over -=- I hate winter

Hi to everyone else! I test again in 2 or 3 days so... wish me luck

RB isnt here yet, so Im going to stash some hope for later!

Sad to say baby is no longer. I rang my doctor this morning and she told me to go the the hospital as I am RH negative and therefore need to have a shot if I bleed while I am pregnant. I got there at 3 this afternoon and didn't get home until 11.00 at night because they were so busy. They did a blood test and confirmed that my HCG levels were almost 0. It was what I had feared from the beginning. It always seemed odd that all the pregnancy tests I did were so pale whereas with my other two pregnancies they got noticeably darker with every day.

Sammy- I am so so sorry that this happened sweetie. I know that there is nothing anyone could say at this point, but I hope you know that we are all here for you. The only thing that comforted me was knowing that my babies would never have to experience the pain of this life. Your sweet little angels will always be watching over you. I'm sorry Sammy Please let us know if there's anything we can do to help you through this.

[josh'smum]

Hi Everyone,

Well I went away for the weekend and didn't have access to the internet. Wow I have missed alot. I am always lurking, checking up on how all of you lovely ladies are doing.

SammyP: I'm so sorry for you . You are in my thoughts.

Chickybabe: Congratulations on your BFP

Sunbeam, KyraWolfe, Tina: for your testing soon.

Hi to Ferals, Coco, Sunny, Tanya, Hannah, maddison, eliselouise, milly, zstar, anila and anyone else I might have missed.

[Anila]

oh Sammy, i am so very sorry hun.
We are all here for you if you need any of us.
Take care hun.

[Tanya]

Oh Sammy Heaps of (((hugs)))

Ferrals.... how exciting!! You are going to be so busy in the coming weeks you are going to have a transfer before you know it! I hope the meds treat you well.

Good Luck testing Kyra We are toilet training atm as well. She is doing brilliantly! I believe that if you are going to TT than you have to get rid of the nappies except for bed time.... Sounds like you are going to go very well!!

9DPO here.. and I haven't even thought about testing!! Don't want to get my hopes smashed by a solitary line.... It's DD#4's 2nd BDay on thursday.... kinda tempted to test then... we'll see.

xx

[zstar]

[Jahzara]

Hi Ladies -

I havent left yet and at this stage i dont think i will be going anywhere.

Please send me LOTS of and

Late yesterday afternoon i started having a light brown discharge. Last night i had a tiny amount of really dark discharge.
Today i have more light brown discharge and my tummy cramps are getting stronger.
Also - apart from the tummy cramps - i dont feel pregnant today - boobs arent sore anymore and i dont feel queasy.

This isnt looking good....

I cant believe this is happening....

[Anila]

oh no chickybabe, im sending u heaps of sticky vibes and positive thoughts, i hope bub stays tight.
we are all here for u hun.

[Tanya]

CB Don't give up.... go and put your feet up, get some rest. Did you DTD last night?

[India's Mum]

Oh Chickybabe - I am so sad to hear that this is happening. I hope you still have a positive outcome. I will be thinking of you.

[kyrawolfe]

Sammy -=- so sorry hun ((hugs)) are you going to have a break or keep trying?
Chickybabe -=- Good luck.. hope its not what you think it is

Its so sad to see all the losses lately

Hi top everyone else *waves* hope those who r pg stay that way and those who are ttc get tat way AND stay that way too ..

AFM.. Just did another BFN today.. sigh.. still not due yet so there is still hope.. tho every BFn I do closer to the date convinces me further this is just another month.. But im sticking to what I said. Im not letting it get me down, Ive got too much going for me atm.
Im lodging my log book today and going for my driving test in a couple weeks when they approve it!

So excited about that!

DS's training is going wonderfully! 3rd night in a row hes kept his bed dry! the poor lil darlin got up way to early this morning when he heard me leaving for my driving lesson, hes was so grumpy and absolutely pooped when I got back and fell asleep on my lap.

I was pondering getting a part time job if Im still not pregnant when I get my liscence, maybe do that tafe course ive been thinking about, try to move on a bit with my life and just let things go a bit and wait for it to happen by itself.. Month by month of ttc conciously is starting to take its toll on me and it has been nearly 2 years, im thinking maybe I should get on with life a bit and start some new pages.. and then when it happens it wont feel like it was such a drag getting there..

hmm.. i dont know.. Hope everyone is doing well!

Chins up girls and ((big hugs)) to everyone going through a tough time atm.. I feel for both of you chickybabe and sammy <3

Kyra

[Jahzara]

CB Don't give up.... go and put your feet up, get some rest. Did you DTD last night?

No DTD action here !

I have NEVER had this happen before and for that reason it just doesnt seem good.

TMI (again) Last time i checked (which is very regularly) the mucous has gone from thick light brown to clear/light brown ewcm.

Cramping and back ache are worrying me cause it feels just like the first day of AF (but having said that i always get cramping from very early with my other pg)

Gee - i hope it goes away and is just a blip on the radar !

Why oh why ?

Thanks for the sticky vibes ladies !

[Sunbeam]

Hi Ladies,

Sammy- So sorry your baby did not stay this time, my heart goes out to you.

Chickybabe- I so hope it is just a blip and your little bundle is sticky sticky sticky.

Zstar- thanks for the mantras. I've been trying to stay positive without getting my hopes up (after my emotional crack up on sunday) Still no AF and was nauseous this morning. Will get donor daddy up in the morning to do a test if AF still not here by then.

Kyra- Loved the list. I know I have so many things to be greatful for too but all I want out of life now is a beautiful little bundle of joy. Let hope AF stays away for both of us. Good luck with the driving test too, I loved getting my licence,it brings so much freedom.

Tanya- Good luck for thursday hope your DD's birthday will brings you luck a nd a BFP.

Ferrrals- sooo exciting that the IVF is all underway. Lets hope your probe is found nice and quick and you can get a few tries in before the subsidy is gone. Better still lets hope it only takes one go like my friend

[eliselouise]

Chickybabe as tanya said dont give up hope just yet. I know it is so hard to be positive about it when its happened before but like you said you had cramping and back ache with your other pgs too so it could just be normal? Have you got an appt to see gp as yet. Hopefully that can give you some good answers
Sammy hunny hope you are doing ok, dont know that there is much we can say to try and comfort you but just remember that we are here for you and know exactly what you are going through. Hope you get through this difficult time with lots of love and support around you
Kyra stay positive for getting a bfp its not over till nasty Af shows up so hopefully she doesnt for you. A part time job sounds like a good idea, it will definately take your mind off the TTC a little bit. Good luck with getting your licence too
zstar glad to hear everything is going well, that is so exciting to hear the heartbeat hope this is a very sticky pregnancy for you
Tanya well done with not thinking about testing, you must be very strong. That would be lovely to find out you were pg on dd's birthday and hopefully you are
Ferals woo hoo for all the ivf stuff getting underway, it must be a very exciting time and thats great that youll get a couple of cycles in before the rebate is scrapped
Sunbeam hope you are feeling a little better today, dont give up hope untill af arrives and hopefully she doesnt, keep your chin up &
Coco the pic of you and your goddaughter is just beautiful, she looks like a real cutie. Glad she liked you straight away
TinaR havent heard that about the low vitamin e, but it could be possible. Hopefully all the drug taking works for you!
Hello to cherished, snugglybean, anilla, maddison, josh'smum, hannah, superstarmumsy, sunny and anyone else i have missed.
AFM not too much happening here, still trying to work out what is happening with my cycles so i can try and work out when i ovulate. Can anyone tell me a good brand of OPK's to use. I thought i might give them a go and see if that helps at all. Was gonna start temping too but keep forgetting to do it first thing in the morning GRRR i have a terrible memory. Anyway better go, have to head off to work and really cant be bothered, so nice and warm sitting inside with the heater going, too cold outside.
Talk soon

[Sunbeam]

Elise-I get my ov tests from Fertility Solutions (have used mums the one site too) on the net the brand it Ovunow I've found them pretty good and pretty cheap too. The temping thing becomes second nature eventually. I even dream that I've woken up and taken my temp. When I do wake up I can even remember what time and temp was in my dream. Think I've been doing it way too long!!
