your best friend will be my goodluck charm. Thank you Sunbeam :) I'll hold onto that.
How are we all today? It seems things have slowed to a complete standstill in here. I hope that means everyone is well and happy.
Selfish paranoia post this time... again...
I'm symptom collecting at the moment and keep getting my hopes up higher and higher. Trying not to but really want to get a bfp this weekend even though I know I won't get one til next weekend if I am pg. Haven't spoken to DH about it at all this month and it's kind of bothering me that he's not even asking about it. I haven't brought it up because I don't want to get either of our hopes up. Maybe he's doing the same.
Have quite bad heartburn every time I eat anything which is really unusual for me, will only get it generally if I've eaten too much and that doesn't happen often. Keep running to the toilet to pee which is driving me nuts. Boobs hurt, waist is disappearing (already?!?!! surely not?!) Not bloated but feeling like I'm expanding (haha maybe I'm just gaining weight!) and getting little twinges in my abdomen all the time.
My aunt tells me it's common for women to gain weight after a m/c, has anyone else experienced this? I know I've gained some because of unhealthy eating cos I was depressed and comfort eating but I've gained more than I should have over just that.
FF has finally told me today that I'm not fertile - I've known that for ages!! But I didn't have enough of a trend for it to know when I ovulated... me neither unfortunately, so I don't really know when I can expect an accurate HPT result. I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed that AF doesn't arrive on Sunday.
:( i got a definate bfn with a fr brand, i feel so deflated, :(
I know all the it could be too early, maybe my wee was diluted stuff, i still feel deflated.
I want my other pregnancy back!
Its not fair and im sitting here in tears and my hubby doesnt care!!!!!!
Im so mad at myself for letting me believe that just maybe it could be my turn this month!!!
Im so mad at hubby for not even saying its ok, test again on the weekend, im so mad at the universe for taking my last pregnancy away, im so mad at my self for testing today, im just so mad!!
sorry Smallfryplus, didnt see u post ahead of me, :hug:
I have the heartburn and painful boobs too.
Smallfry+ I definatly gained weight around my lower tummy and thighs, which is not at all where I usually gain weight (thighs) symtoms sound very promissing :goodluck: when are you testing?
Anilia :hug: will PM you take it easy mate.
Have a good day all :D
oh Anila, :hug: All your reasons could be right but I know that doesn't help for how you're feeling now, especially when hubby doesn't seem to understand what you're feeling.
Greenslw - testing on Monday if I haven't got AF (due Sunday morning). Glad I'm not the only one. I normally gain weight boobs but this time it's all tummy and butt. Very unusual! I saw my profile the other day and have a butt and have always been told I have no butt to speak of!!!
Hi Ladies,
It seems like the 2ww is taking its toll on a lot of us. It is very depressing after the wait to get nothing out of it and then get the courage to start another cycle. Again and again for some of us. I have my fingers crossed that at least one of us will be successful this month... and one by one is will be everyones turn!
Smallfryplus - I definatley think that i put weight on after the m/c. I remember looking for information on the net to see if it was possible for your body not to know you had m/ced and to still be growing. I gained in the belly, legs and face. I went from a size 9 in jeans to a 12 as my belly feels bloated all the time. Your symptoms do sound promising.
Anila - I am sorry you are feeling deflated. Its never easy. Im sure your husband is struggling with it too and it must be hard for him to see you so upset. I admit i try not to get upset in front of my husband very often cos he would want to stop trying if it was upsetting me too much and thats not what i want.
I have read quite a few stories of women not getting BFP until 4-8 weeks. Hang in there until a/f arrives. Its not over til its over for any of us.
Sending you :comfort: on this hard day.
thanks Maddison :) I feel better about ballooning now! (she says after muttering under her breath about connoisseur icecream trying to tell her that there are 10 serves in a 1l tub!).
My sis and aunt never got pos until 8-10 weeks. I'm impatiently drumming my fingers waiting for time to pass... Perhaps I'll go get a hair colour and update my look.
Thanks guys, im so glad i have u girls.
i hugged hubby and cried and i said i want my pregnancy back, its not fair and he hugged me back and said yeah its not fair, he then said he doesnt know what to say, cause he doesnt want to say the wrong thing and get me all upset.
just when i was getting mad at him he says something sweet.
and to top it all off i feel soo nauseas...
i looked at my last ttc diary and it was cd31 (same as today) that i got my faint pos, so i really do hope my wee was just way too diluted.
im not going to test till sat now.
Woohooo!! Glad that you and hubby talked Anila. That's great. And as for the nausea... excellent sign there. Just make sure you do the test first pee in the morning and don't drink too much before bed. I can't wait to see the result!
Oh, hey, another question - anyone been getting obsessively thirsty? I'm drinking so much water and can't stop myself.
thanks smallfry
im thirsty but for green cordial, and if i drink water it has to be really really cold.
Smallfryplus - your symptoms sound better and better each time you post. When will you test again? I am going to wait until about Thursday next week if a/f doesnt come on Tues /Wed. I think thats when im due. I get confused when im not looking at my chart. What hair colour are you going to go??
Anila - im happy you spoke with your husband. They have very different ways of expressing themselves and coping with grief. Sounds like you have a very special bond .
ASM - my face is breaking out. Yuck! Not feeling thirsty. Not really feeling much of anything. Usually im starting to feel a bit grumpy by now but not feeling that either. Oh how i would love to be feeling :sick: or something.
clearly it's just us three in here today :) nice and intimate.
M - decicded against the hair colour. All that old wives tale stuff about shouldn't colour your hair if your preg... I'll deal with those grey hairs coming through for a while longer. Usually just add to my colour which is dark brown. There's a great colour called chocolate rush which is a deep brown/red/chocolatey colour. Seriously rich and tasty! lol
Monday morning test... go the public holiday! I'll celebrate all day with no study if I get a bfp!
Not grumpy is a good thing, have to admit I've not been grumpy this week either which is unusual for me. And face breakouts as well which is yuck. Not real bad though. I'm not too concerned about not feeling sick just now cos I know with my two successful pg I didn't get ms until around 6 weeks.
Anila - green cordial... you're giving me ideas. Couple days ago I HAD to have red creaming soda.
Hi Girls,
Been a busy morning!
Anila - the fat lady hasn't sung yet, so keep up the hope and if you get a chance, do something for yourself - even if it's just a zone out with a coffee and a mag for half an hour in front of Oprah or something. A bit of nurturing can go a long way, as can a big hug from dh!
Smallfryplus - your symptoms do sound good. Re: weight gain after m/c, I reckon i've developed a muffin top since the m'c which i swear wasn't there before the pregnancy. But I'm trying to eat a lot healthier and exercising again, so here's hoping the muffin turns into an Uncle Toby's Roll Up. Good luck with the testing.
Maddison and Sunbeam - keeping everything crossed for you guys too.
AFM - just got back from acupuncture so am feeling pretty lalala. I told the guy i'm going to ttc next month which goes against him wanting me to wait 6m (yeah right as if that was ever going to happen!?!?!) but at least we're on the same page and now he's altered my herbs and i'm seeing him again the week bf i ovulate to strengthen everything, so hope it all works out. have you guys had any acupuncture?
Good luck to all the tww'ers again. Can't wait to hear some news!! Woo hoo!!!
Hi Jeleswa
Ive never had acupuncture. Living in a small country town i dont even think anyone does it here. I bet it was relaxing. Have you always done it or just starting recently?
Hello girls,
Been hanging to get on here all day but knew I had to get a report done and dusted before I could start chatting or I'd never finish it so I used this as my reward for working hard, report all done, yipee:dance:
Well my symptoms from yesterday have gone away and all I have now is ovary pain and face breakout:rolleyes: I keep telling myself I'm only on dpo7 but it's so agonising waiting!!!!
Anila-I'm glad your dh and you spoke, its so hard to guess what's going on for other people isn't it? Anyway he sounds very caring and lovely.
smallfryplus-I don't know if I've gained weight since the m/c but I've gained nearly 10kg since starting TTC mostly due to thinking it doesn't matter what I eat because I'll be all fat and pregnant soon. It's not unhealthy eating just too indulgent.
juleswa- I had acupuncture with 2 different people. I felt really good from it but can't say I noticed much difference in my cycle or fertility, maybe I didn't go for long enough.
smallfry im the same, i have a hair colour here just waiting to be used, but im waiting for either 9 months to go by or af showing up! My roots arnt that bad, but i have found a greay hair, ahhhh, lol.:
decicded against the hair colour. All that old wives tale stuff about shouldn't colour your hair if your preg
and lol at the green cordial.
maddison good luck hun.
juleswa, i know its not over till af shows up but i was just expecting to see two lines iykwim, i just felt it kinda. Im hoping to have a bath later, hunter made me some bath salts and a bath bomb at school, we had a mums pamper night last night and the kids did our hair and make up, it was a good night.
Sunbeam, good luck to u too. and well done on getting the assignment done!
Hi everyone :) Just a quick post cos am really mad and don't want to whine too much- I had been bleeding non-stop since May 6 (had a week of no blood after m/c). Anyway, last week doc gave me a referral for ultrasound and said wait 1 more week and see...well it stopped 2 days ago and I was so relieved at not having to have d+c and being able to try again- but now its back!! How can I move on when i still don't know if I haven't completely finished m/c?? Sorry for the rant but I am just very frustrated and teary- guess i better make an appt for ultrasound :wall:
Hope everyone on TWW is able to distract themselves and we all get BFP's soon.
Thanks greenslw, juleswa and others for support, hope I havent brought everyone down..
positive thoughts to all :pray:
awe hun, i hope the ultra sound can help give u some answers, and i hope all the bleeding stops soon for u.
thanks Anila, me too, I am so over waiting for the m/c to sop that I am even looking forward to being on the tww again!
good luck for saturday, my fingers are crossed for you, you deserve that BFP :pray:
thats good that u are already looking to the future and wanting to be in the tww again, i really do hope it all settles down for you, is there anything that the dr can do, or is it all a wait and see what the us says.
thanks for the good luck, i really hope its a bfp, this being the first cycle from the mc, i just couldnt stand it if af comes.
Nothing they can do, just have to wait for u/s. I am trying to be positive as much as I can and focus on the fact that I'd rather deal with it now and get back to normal than allow it to drag on any longer..
Well i will definitely be thinking of you on Saturday, I can only imagine how nervous you must be...i can't think of anything that would help me feel better as much as being pg again. Truly Anila, you are in my thoughts. :goodluck:
I am getting off the comp now to distract myself with telly and a cuppa
hope u have a good night and tomorrow flies by for you!
You poor darling KM1... :comfort: I am glad it's stopped and you didn't need the currettage - but it's been so drawn out for you... :hug: This thread is for support - you cannot bring any one down... We all understad... :hug:
KM1, i hope u sleep well tonight hun, and as flowerchild said u cannot bring anyone down here, i have had many a vent, a winge ,a sook here, its a good place to be.
hope u feel better in the morning, good luck with the ultra sound
and flowerchild, im glad that u are all ok after ur op.
(edit- is my sig ok for this thread?)
OK iv'e missed a bit i have been at work it seem's you poor girl's are going nut's with your tww i was like that 2 weeks ago every twinge made me stop and wonder is it but for me it wasn't
KM1-i diddnt M/C so to speak but i was bleeding off and on for 4 weeks i thought it finished then it would start up again then when it did stop next AF was slow to start spotting first 2 days and longer than normal and so was my last AF as well so i supose it can take a bit to get back to normal.
Can anyone offer some advice i have two different kinds of opks and i used both of them ,yesterdays was positive so i did the other brand today which was negative so i got the other pack out and did one of each with the same wee sample and one was a strong positve and the other was a very faint negative go figure what am i supose to believe and DH and i managed to BD yesterday and i have organised to get off work half an hour early tomorrow to whip home and jump DH before he leaves for work that gives us an hour from the time i leave work to the time he leaves to go to work talk about making a booking for sex (lol)the things we do for a baby
Forgot to add when i was at work today one of my work mates(if you would call her that ) had the hide to say gee i hope i'm not pregnant again i'm sick of getting pregnant and having to be suctioned it's a pain in the #### i was mortified i said you ever hear of contraception and she say's NAH!!! i hate the stuff pill makes me fat and condoms are a turn off i said how many times have you had a termination and she said i dont know about 10 i had to walk away i wanted to bite her head off she didd'nt care and spoke like it was no big deal why do people like her get pregnant at the drop of a hat and we want a baby and it dosn't happen so easy and when we do fall pregnant we lose our babies it is disgusting what people like her do and not fair
KM1, I agree with Flowerchild, this is the place for venting, you won't bring anyone down. Make sure you get that U/S as I'm sure that will help you a lot with knowing what's happening. I mc but for some reason it was a very quick experience. Very painful physically and lots of blood and yuck but somehow it was over after only a few days.
ferrals - sounds like quite a timetabling issue! Pray for no traffic! Haven't used OPKs so can't help you with which brand to believe.
Sunbeam - well done with your report! An excellent reward system. I must work on being more strict with myself like that.
to all - sleep good and hope tomorrow brings good news :)
Someone suggest she should learn how to keep her knees together. Stupid, stupid, stupid woman. Ferrals, you did well not to slap her out. I'd have had serious problems not slapping her or worse.
Smallfryplus-:ROFL: well i will tell my mum what she said my mum is the duty manager so i hope she gets her roster changed to all the nights till 3:30 in the morning( he he naughty me)
:bluecheer::cheer::bd::bd::hooray::hooray::leap:: ok about time i got a BFP on both opk's and my temp has dropped a bit and i have ferns on my maybe baby so by my chart i am supose to ov tomorrow so i will be making the mad dash home after work god i hope my DH can perform on 9 hrs sleep in 2 days(poor baby)
To all the girls in your tww i hope it goe's fast and you get your BFP
I have to go to work to i will check in tonight and let you know if DH managed to dtd
ferrals - hehehe you have the power :) I like that.
km1 - how you doing today? Have you made an appointment for an U/S? :hug:
Anila - one more sleep hon! Can't wait :) I've got 3 more sleeps.
Sunbeam, coco, how's the TWW going? Poppy, are you on tww too?
cherished (if you still check in here...) and greenslw, hope your pg is going well and you're healthy and happy and excited!
Good morning to everyone else - Juleswa, milly, tina, catherineq, maddison...
AFM - I can add nausea to the list of symptoms today. Made a decaf coffee this morning and the smell wasn't as good as it usually is, then when I took miss4 out to the supermarket my stomach started turning. Waves at the moment but not too severe. I'll be utterly bereft if I get a bfn.
Well im not liking my chances for getting a bfp, all my so called symptoms are almost gone, i dont feel like i did last cycle when i got my bfp, so i will be very shocked if i have bfp on sat. :pray:
I hope you're wrong Anila. :pray: for you to bet that bfp.
I just put my bbt chart on fertility friend and it says in only 8 dpo. My 2ww is going backwards instead of forwards!!! :doh:
Hello lovely ladies,
I'm with you Anila, my symptoms are pretty much all gone too so I'll be very surprised if I get a BFP this time but not giving up hope.
Ferrals -I have no idea how you managed not to deck that woman, what a stupid b!@#%h lets hope she learns to keep her legs together, imagine what kind of mother she'd make! Good luck today with the mad dash home, hope dh finds an energy reserve ;)
I use the OPKs from the net, just little thin strips. I've only used them 2 months but found them reliable so far.
KM1-sorry to hear the bleeding is ongoing. I hope the u/s offers some answers and you can get back to the TWW soon.
lots of :hug: and lots of :pink-babydust::pink-babydust: for everyone.
I'm kind of glad I'm not on ff it seems to be a bit crazy and changes it's mind a lot.:wall::
Sunbeam / Anila - dont give up on having no symptoms yet. I dont have any either but trying to be positive. As a lot of other people say 'We are pregnant until proved otherwise!' Bring on the :bfp: for all!!
Sunbeam - Have you always used the same Donor Daddy? How wonderful to have a great friend like that.
Smallfryplus - Nausea sounds good. You are having some seriously good symtoms!! I am keeping my :crossfingers: for you.
Ferrals - what a horrible woman to work with. Its amazing the things people will tell you. Well done on the self control and not slapping her out. Silly silly woman.
KM1 - im sorry that you bleeding is being so erratic. I hope it stops for you and you are feeling a bit better soon. I understand how frustrating it must be. Did you have any luck getting in for an ultrasound?
Goodluck to everyone on the 2ww and everyone else at other stages.
Hi everyone, I haven't been posting but I have been reading the posts...what is scary is that I am reading some seriously neutoric sounding posts...and it is the exact same stuff from what is in my head. lol
its weird to be with a bunch of girls who are in my situation or close to it and yet from each other we are getting the support that we can't get from those closest to us.
Anila - my db sounds SO much like your man...he finally txted me the other day and said he doesn't know what to do to make me feel better. he has just been ignoring it cause I have been acting not completely crazy.
Unfortunately I have been feeling that way. I took wedensday off work. not as in called in sick..as in just didn't go to work, turned off my mobile, went and got my hair done, sat in my car and cried took the day off. It was my bday Thursday and it was supposed to be a joyful day...it kinda sucked.
I feel so desperate to get preg again that i wonder if its better to wait..but I REALLY dont want to. I wore a dress to work today that I have a completely flat stomach in, only two weeks ago it was noticably popping out. I've lost 5kg in a week - looks good :) but annoys me cause its another reminder that i'm not preg.
some of you sound like you have awesome symptoms...MS? that is such a good sign!I have my fingers crossed for good results for all of you...while I may get jealous of some peoples pregs I can only wish us all the best - we deserve it. i think I am rambling.
I don't know the first thing about charting my cycle and expecially now that the bleeding has finally stopped from MC. I think that if we dtd each day this week there is a chance of catching any eggs but don't know if my cycle is right for that - good excuse to get back into practice :)
Fingers crossed that those of you testing this weekend/monday get the :bfp: that you are all hoping for..you deserve the joy and its nice to hear that there is light at the end of this miserable tunnel.
Awesome...that was my whinge/rave/rant for the week.
Sorry I'm not really using names< I am at work and know I prob shouldnt be on here...I think my boss is to scared to say something lately in case I cry lol.
Its very strange that I just thought to write love to you all....I don't know any of you but I feel an amazing connection :grouphug:
fingers crossed and wishing you all the best...check back in by Monday.
Hey Maddison,
Yes I have always had the same donor daddy since TTC (though there were two possibles before him, other close friends of mine, that could not be my donor for various reasons). Donor daddy is great and still totally committed to having a baby even after the two m/c. He has a partner too who is lovely, they will both play a huge part in the baby's life and he will definitely be the baby's dad though the baby will primarily live with me. I am very happy with the situation. :D
Thanks for the encouragement too.
Hi Ladies, can I have a selfish post please?
Feeling Blah today...
trying to complete an assignment, and no motivation WHAT SO EVER.
Trying not to cry - I really shouldn't be crying now, but I got an email from a friend (she told me she was pg right after I had the m/c, she didn't know), anyway, it was all happy and wonderful, and life is rosy, pg progressing beautifully, and while I am happy for her, I am insanely jealous. I know that she had also been TTC for a while, and I shouldn't be jealous, but I am, I just am. THere, I said it. :redface: Oh, why can't I be pg anymore??? I shouldn't keep looking at the calendar ....
I forget who asked about the weight - yes, I put on weight, I still hadn't been able to lose the weight gained from Angel#1. This time I had started to gain some weight in the pg, and I haven't lost it, I have been trying but to no avail. So I'm feeling fat AND miserable. :(
Hi TinaR-Glad you could stop in and say hi. Yes it is very frustrating and confusing knowing when to start again and knowing where your cycle is at. Charting helps but you may need to do it for a while before it gives you any useful info. Good luck with chasing your egg this week.
Has anyone seen coco she is MIA
