Hi girl's
there's been heaps going on welcome sammy sorry for your loss the girl's here are great at making you feel better.
Anila-day 42 oh my god i'd be going nut's my 28 day cycle is long enough.
Zacsmum-sorry hun never heard of it i alway's thought you just had to wait the bleeding out or have a D&C
Coco-good to see you have a plan it makes you feel more in control dosn't it now you can get some answers and that BFP.
Milly5-temping has been a bit of a nightmare for me it goe's up after i ov but i usually have 2 dips in temp before i ov so can be a bit missleading so i use opk's aswell but i get a positive result with them 5 days in a row so i just wing it when the test is pos i BD for a few days and hope i get that egg
Cherished-yeh!! your back and by the sound of it doing ok iv'e been thinking about you.
Greenslw-how was your U/S i'm hanging to find out.
TinaR-i never i mean never have the ew cm when i get close to ov and during ov it is just watery but i use to get ew cm when i was in my teenage years the doctor said i have a tilted uterus to the right and it also retroverted i was told because my pelivic floor muscles are so strong i was told to not do so many i wonder if that effects my cm.
To my other bb girls thinking of you all and praying for BFP in the next few weeks
Well im on day 23 so 5 days until i can test i havn't thought to much about it until last night and today i have been having really watery cm and lots of it not usual for me but no other symptoms little bit of period like pains but we all know that can mean nothing
hahahaha love it cherished!! I took it religiously every day since it was only this month that I have temped. Was fortunate to have a bladder that worked like a clock but can totally understand the lying still thing! Except I found that if I didn't take it as soon as I woke, that's when the difference in temp was the biggest.
ferrals - I had HEAPS of watery cm around that time this month. And, for me also unusual.

Ferrals - have my that in 5 days you get that great BFP!!
Wow - this temping thing sounds like hard work. I haven't tried it (yet) although the idea of a cold thermometer at 5am when it is about -2c does not sound like fun lol...the things we do!
I am pretty sure I am/have o'd but very slim chances due to only that one bd the day before...still in the 2ww and probably just as stressful lol.
Anila - any results yet? I haven't seen a post with a definite either way yet
Zacsmum - I was given those tablets I think when i used to have the depo needle. They will stop rb but I think with mc there are much stornger hormones that override it. If things haven't settled down I'd go back to doc. I've had a solid 2wk bleed with a mc before but they like to keep an eye on it if its heavy...sorry if not much help.
KM & Milly - I guess we are in the 2ww together... for three BFP very soon for us
I had a big spack at DB yesterday..yet ANOTHER friend announced preg at 2 mths. Told him I'm so cranky, jealous and quite frankly @*$^@*^ off. He said 'push through it, it'll get better!' HUH??? I reaacted in a complely rational caring way to his idea of being supportive and then later had to apologise for way I said stuff but I still agree with what I said.
Smallfry - I don't know how everyone else feels but I wil presume they will agree....feel free to drop in and see us and impart your words of wisdom and encouragement, as hard as it is to hear from people we see I find it encouraging to hear that your preg is prgressing well so far, its hope that it just may happen.
Hope everyone is doing ok, feeling enough strength to go through each day - not always easy!
tinar - thanks hon. I know from my own experience that it's bittersweet seeing people come back in and post, I always wanted to know how they were going but it also made me feel that tiny bit sad about it not being me. I'm so afraid to tell people in case it jinxes it all as I told everyone last time and two days later woke up bleeding heavily at the in-laws house thanking my lucky stars that they normally have kids in that double bed so it was plastic lined so didn't damage the mattress. DH immediately cleaned it all up and put the sheets in the wash for me the darling. It was the sweetest thing he could have ever done.
This pg feels like a keeper but then, which ones don't? Both my sister's know and I got to have a chat with my eldest yesterday which was fantastic, it made it feel more real but I do struggle to talk about it in terms of it existing for real. Maybe the doc this afternoon will change that? I hope so. Anyway, have decided 2 1/2 weeks and if all is still well, we'll disclose our secret as that will put me at 8 weeks and I feel comfortable about that. Most of the time...
This place has been such a haven of peace for me over the last couple of months. It feels like I have been in here so much longer than that but in reality, I only signed up 2 months and 2 days ago. Thank you all for your words of comfort and encouragement, I can't express my gratitude enough and find myself in tears just thinking about how much this journey has been helped by all of you.
So, before I totally lose it will shut down and head off to my exam, which I know I will fail but I only have to get 3 points out of 25 to pass the semester. I figure if i pass the semester that's all I care about - so much has made it a write off that I just want to pass.
Sorry it's been so much about me this morning, feeling pretty emotional. Really hanging out for some bfps from in here soon.
The first thing i saw when i turned on my computer this morning is the 12 year old girl about to become a mother she's about 6 mths pregnant she is a baby having a baby.
Smallfry-well i hope the watery cm is a good sign for me i had it when i was pregnant with abbi but after i got the BFPand i hope you do keep an eye on us in here i'd hate to not know how your going.
Greenslw-same for you hun please don't feel you have to leave pop in and say hello and give us updates and how was your ultrasound yesterday?
Sunbeam-where are you? how are you going?
well i am not feeling much happening with my body but i dont get morning sickness or anything so i just have to wait wait wait 4 more day's.
Hi girls I'm back. Sorry was a huge weekend so have been MIA had an awesome time at Pride, drank too much, did not sleep all saturday night, spend sunday and monday recovering. Seems I've missed lots of stuff.
Smallyfry- Whoooooo that is the best news. Congratulations. Wishing you heaps of
Hi to our new girls, sorry you have had to join us but hope you are feeling the loving support that is here.
Just trying to catch up so please excuse me if I'm missing some info.
Anila- cd42 may mean that you did not ovulate unless your chart clearly says you did. On months where I don't o my 31-34 day cycle blows out to 46 days. I got to cd48 even with o this cycle after m/c. Hope it sorts itself out soon babe.
Ferrals- for your testing in 4 days. To your earlier question I would definitely be keeping trying naturally, the odds are much in your favor and you have every right to have a baby.
Greenslw- good to hear from you. Can't wait to hear how your scan goes.
Sorry its a bit brief trying to get back into the working week AFM my af (first after m/c) was completely normal except for starting off a bit slow so here's hoping I get regular o's now or its back on the dreaded clomid.

Good luck with your exam smallfry. I am sitting here trying to prepare for mine.
AFM - can I have a silly moan? I am so cold, and I am soooooo hanging out for a coffee!!!!!!! I want to put the percolator on. I even opened the fridge to smell the fresh coffee beans. I haven't had a coffee for a few weeks now, so its not as if I am in withdrawl, I just like coffee, and am sick of herbal teas. I usually like herbal teas, and would normally have one in the evening, but coffee is for day time and part of studying, and I am missing it.
Re the temping, my temp was back up today, but FF still hasn't told me I've ov'd. I had a shocking nights sleep, and couln't work out if I should temp when I get up to the loo at midnight, at 4.00 when DH got up, or at 7.00 when I was planning to get up. I decided to leave it till 7.00, becasue I was just too busting at midnight, and too tired and cold at 4.00(from not sleeping), but then the phone rang at 6.45, so I had to get out of bed to get it, so don't think my temp was too crash hot today! I think the monitor is fairly accurate, so I'm glad I had that to go by.
I just want a coffee, a nice hot big tall freshly ground home perc'd one..........
I am wondering if any of you know anything about lunar cycles? I want to know if it is BS or not.
I have been having ovulation like pains since 7dpo last cycle...and then my af was fairly quick and my cramps were almost non existant unlike normally, and anyway, I have still got ovary pains..mainly on left side. I dont know what they're from because its way to early for me to be ovulating then i saw something about lunar cycles and having more than one fertile window in the cycle...I also am skeptical and think its another way to make money off women who are desperate to be pregnant.
milly - have you considered decaf? Or perhaps a blend of decaf and normal coffee? I figure since minimal amounts are ok, I regularly drink decaf (water decaffienated) and when, every couple days, I'm desperate for a coffee to wake up, I blend a tiny bit of real coffee in when I'm making it (I use an italian coffee maker with the most awesome blend... drooool!) I seriously miss it though.
coco - have heard of lunar cycle but not sure that I put much cred in it and of course, it always costs to learn more about it! Maybe see if you can track down a book from your local library if you can be bothered. What I've found about it on the internet seems a little fairytale. Hey, I thought you weren't temping this month? lol it's irresistable isn't it? I'm still temping...!
welcome back sunbeam I've missed you Glad you had such a great time on the weekend!
sunny - maybe baby?? Are you often late? Man I hope those bfn's were innacurate!
ferrals ferrals can't wait!!! I hope it's a bfp even though that will bring along it's fair share of stresses, there's still a big chance that it will be the best thing on earth!
Hello to everyone else I intend to hover til every one of you has that delectable so that I can celebrate it with you!!!
Hahaha smallfry. Im not going to lie yeah Im temping but the only reason Im doing it is because the gynae/FS will want to see the charts so Id rather do it than not...I have like 50 days of my account still on FF so may as well use it I am sick of it all though. I just want to not try at the moment I love that you come in here still, I love your posts
aww thanks coco This group is just too close to my heart to leave now. And your reasoning behind temping still is perfect.
milly - when's your exam? Saturday was it? Seems there are so many people studying in here I can't keep track of it all! Mine this morning was abysmal. The room was so hot that I couldn't think and it was making me seriously nauseous and I couldn't think straight. I should email the markers and let them know but figure it doesn't really matter, I only have to get 3/25 to pass the unit... assuming I can pass the unit but fail the exam that is!
coco - I have heard of the lunar cycles, and it does sound a bit "out there", But, having said that, a friend of mine is a horticulturist (works for Nat Parks) and swears by the lunar cycle for planting. I had done some reading on lunar and cycles and historically (way back when), a woman's cycle would be in line with the moon (I can't remember which phase was when though!!!), because there were no lights at night, and the light of the full moon - either brought on AF, or was the fertile time - light to shag by - can't remember which!! LOL. THere *may* be something in it, but then it may all just be a load of B/S. A friend of mine who was undergoing IVF was also having accupuncture and reiki and reflexology as well - all because there was that slim possiblity it just *might* make a difference, and made her feel like she was doing something. Having said all of that, I would probably give the fertility specialist a go first and hear what they have to say.
Smallfry - I have decaf on my shopping list!! It's just that I'm cold and home alone and procrastinating that I want to moan about coffee . I am just having a cinamon and cardamon tea at the moment, and although nice, just doesn't cut it!
Sorry your exam was not good, I think it would be worth emailing your tutor and letting them know, everything helps in my eyes!! My exam is Fri, and I am not looking forward to it, and I am still procrastinating my way through my last essay.
Oh well, break was long enough, back to work, bye ladies!
Milly thanks for that hon, yeah ill remain partial to it, im just depserate! lol
Smallfry, decaf isnt that bad, I went straight onto decaf as soon as i heard it wasnt good and I had headaches and was really pi$$y for one or maybe 2 days but after that i was fine! I dont drink coffee for the caffiene tho i just like the taste hehe so doesnt bother me!
I'm with you on the taste, have only been drinking coffee for a couple of years and used to hate the smell/taste anything then started drinking mocha and moved onto coffee and love it. Unlike you though coco, I had to wean myself off it! Gradually added more decaf each time til it was straight decaf otherwise the migraines would have been intollerable!!
milly - good luck with that essay and exam. I'll email my lecturer and give them a heads up. Not sure that they'll care much to pay attention though as I did walk out half way through the alotted 2 hours!!! Thank goodness I'm on the other side of the country and the examiners wouldn't have a clue who I am here!!!
Well the doctor told me my levels are back down to 3. She says that's good news as it rules out any false positive readings for when I do start trying next month. Now I just have to wait for this first AF so I can get things moving again. I'm around day 18 if i count back to the M/C.
I got not such a nice letter in the mail. I miscarried overseas and it cost $475CD for the hospital fees (as well as the ultrasound which was $200CD)). We paid at the time but today in the mail I got another bill for the same amount. When we first went we were there from 9 at night till 3 in the morning and then told to come back at 10 in the morning for the ultrasound and the results. I presumed that to be one visit but now I am thinking maybe they call that two visits and we only paid for the first one as the second time hadn't been added to the bill before we paid. I'm not keen to pay anymore. We're still waiting to see if the insurance company is happy to pay the first bill or whether they will cause problems.
Gee wizz so many posts, too many for personals, so ill just say hi to everyone, and hugs to thoose who need it and baby dust to everyone.
afm, still no af cd43.
bumped into a mum from dance we hadnt seen in a while and she asked me if we are having anymore and again i just blurted out we just lost one.
Thats twice now, i dont know what else to say really, yes would be logical, but i say we just lost one, why do i do that, cause then i make them feel bad for asking and i feel bad for saying it. sigh
oh anila! u poor thing! maybe you should 'practice' (i know it sounds childish) such a scenarion in front of the mirror. give yourself the chance and time to have different reactions, but get it out. i know you feel bad about your reaction, and being asked is difficult obviously for you right now, big hugs hun. BTW have you been to the DR for a blood test? I think AF cant be too far off. Im waiting just like you, just not as long as you!
I hate having LLOONNGG cycles! Less chance for a miracle!
sorry for the whinge
for three BFP very soon for us
she is a baby having a baby.
that is the best news. Congratulations. Wishing you heaps of
AFM my af (first after m/c) was completely normal except for starting off a bit slow so here's hoping I get regular o's now or its back on the dreaded clomid.
lol it's irresistable isn't it? I'm still temping...!
I've missed you
so that I can celebrate it with you!!!
I love that you come in here still, I love your posts
