Ferralls - Happy Birthday Hun - a lovely time of year to have a birthday - easter :D
Matthews mum ; The most exciting time - triggering - oh and EPU on Sunday - how exciting, bol and I hope you have a lot of good quality embryos
Loops and ttcalovechild - Hi girls
T-Hopes - yum new herbs ;) - what does yoru name stand for ?
Hi to Jellylove and Rose and mummy
I cant scroll back anymore to do more persies, wow there are so many ladies in here, I wish we could all talk via an instant message - it would be so easy
Hi to all the lovely ladies I have missed
AFM: FS has cancelled IUI - too many follies, too much of a risk of multiples, and am I ready for multiples... ah YES ......he wanted me to trigger last night, and I rang him in the end, and said, I would rather another day of Puregon, and trigger tonight. We now have 16 follicals, not the original 13 as I thought, and I injected puregon this am. and will trigger tonight, and BD naturally for the next 4 days.
I wouldnt recomend this for the average gal, however, after 100 eggs collected through ivf, I know, my chances, even with 16 follicals, and one tube, are still low. However, I cant help but hope, that in the 16 follicals, there is a good egg, and this exhausting journey that has been going on for 4 long years will be over. I am praying we catch a good one. We just want a healthy bubba.
wouldloveabubba-sorry your iui got cancelled,hoping those swimmers catch an egg,have fun b'ding
Aww thanks Matthewsmum - I am not dissapointed, my DH has good swimmers, so my previous FS said the actual IUI procedure, only upped my chances by 2 %, it's the Puregon I needed.:
What time is your trigger ?
good luck Wouldloveabubba! happy bd'ing!
wouldloveabubba-my trigger is 10.30,nurse said i can take some panadol if it's a bit painful tomorrow,found out today that we have 13 straws of frozen sperm in the bank ,hope they thaw okay.When time tonight are you triggering?
MM : My trigger is 10.30 pm as well :dance: happy Injecting - I am taking Pregnyl 5000
Thanks Teg for your best wishes
wouldloveabubba-pregnal 5000 here too,i'll think of you when i poke myself....Hope everyone's easter break is going okay,hope there is some smiles through the tears of missing our heavenly babies
Gee you all move fast!
Thanks to everyone for the welcome, pride is taking a backburner atm, feeling too sick with the flu to pay any attention to it, about time too I think.
No persies today, would take too long to go back and do them, and by the time I get back to here I'll have forgotten what I was going to say anyway.
Anyway, 6dpo today, temp decided to go up to 36.4 for a change this morning, instead of 36.2 or 36.3... looks much nicer on my chart anyway lol
It's been an odd day today, as I realised that 2 years ago today I had the flu really bad and DS had just been conceived, we found out I was preg with him on April 8th and 2 weeks later DH proposed, so it's a good time of year for us.
3 days ago I had stinging pains 2 inches directly below my belly button for approx 15 mins, then a few times later that night for a couple of minutes at a time. Tonight I have painful cramping on the left side just inside my left hip, though it seems to be dying off a bit atm.
In the car this afternoon I had a wave of nausea go straight through me, and thought I was going to puke, and all afternoon I was getting hot flushes like I did last cycle and the cycle with the chem, I didn't get hot flushes in the cycle inbetween the 2, but I'm thinking it might have something to do with the flu since I obviously don't have a fever of any sort. Come to think of it, I didn't have a fever when I was preg with DS either... the temps I did in the evenings back then while ill were all 36.5-36.6 (done orally, and we weren't trying for a bub back then either lol I was even on the pill of all things).
So anyway, technically we are taking a 'break' from TTC this month and next month, but as we haven't used protection the break has kinda been cancelled out... we just didn't time DTD this month... only DTD twice anyway, on CD12 and CD15, so ther's a chance we'll get UTD anyway. Maybe. I hope so.
Wishing everyone a wonderful easter, sending lots of baby dust, and praying that everyone gets their sticky BFP's very very very soon!
Hi there - wouldloveabubba, Possum magic & TTCAlovechild - Thanks for the warm welcome :)
So I'm not sure whether this is anything other than psychological but... yesterday i was at work and after my dinner, say around 7 pm I started to feel nauseous. I thought nothing of it. However same thing happened again at around 7 pm tonight - after dinner also! I still feel a little queasy... Not sure if it's anything or nothing... Fingers crossed...
Best wishes to you all!
Hi jelly love,
That sounds good to me. I can never understand how symptoms can appear this early but i do believe it.
Since i spoke to you all yesterday i still feel the same but not any worse. I do however have more breast tenderness today so i am sure it is a positive sign. I just feel it and will be so surprised if i don't get a bfp in a few days.
I realised that i never shared any personal information with you all only that i had a miscarriage a few months ago. So here it goes. I have three children from 2years to 7 years and before the last loss i had another miscarriage between my first and second child. It will give anyone hope that is worried about having a health pregnancy after a loss. I had two but then miscarried again. I was so stressed and busy at the time and it has all calmed down now so fingers crossed.
Just to add is the event that you didn't allready notice but i am addicted to poas!
On 4 out of my 5 previous pregnancies i had symptoms before Af but never chills but i still just know.
I am hoping i am not being over confident( so sorry about spelling mistakes i am awfull).
I have to say that this post is great and i can't believe i have never spent my tww doing this before.It is great to follow all your stories and i hope everything works out for everyone.
I will probably poas tomorrow 8dpo and again at 9 and 10. Last pregnancy was a positive at 10dpo but i just can't help myself. So scared about both a negative and a positive result. Couldn't face another loss but must stay positive.
I'll keep you all posted
Chat tomorrow
Hope all the injections went well last night ladies...
Rose, you sound so much like me, i had a baby then a loss then two babies and then an ectopic in feb... I am also addicted to POAS..... Would love a BFP but like you it will be a rocky road to believe all will be ok. I know my DH will not go again if we MC again... Good luck to you this month. I am 12DPO... Nothing here yet.
I tested this morning - BFN. My heart feels so heavy :( So, now the best case scenario is that I get AF today, or very very soon. Gonna temp this cycle, and get some maca root. Bye bye Christmas baby xo xo
Sorry for the me post, will be back later to do persies, and will hopefully be feeling much more positive!
jennajayen,jellylove &rose123-sounding positive for you guys,hope were inandated with bfp's...tegam-12 dpo is still early...kitfaerie-sorry about bfn,if af comes remember that having a bfp next month will be a great way to bring in the new year in 2011.thinking of everyone
Thanks for the Birthday wishes girls.
There is so many post's so catch up on.
First though i want to say good luck for sunday Mathews mum i hope those other follicles catch up and you get a good number of eggs.
Welcome jellylove-sorry for your loss hope you get your BFP soon.
Wouldloveabubba-I'd do it to and chances are not all 16 follicles will release an egg only the real big ones will good luck hun.
Kitfaerie-sorry for the BFN hun i know how you feel sux i wanted a 2010 baby to.
Murrycod-Thanks for my Bday wishes sorry AF turned up at your house now you can get ready and in the right head space for May because that will be our month.
Sorry for not replying to everyone there is just way to many if you miss a day of posts you get left behind.
AFM- well i had a great day yesterday just DH and i he spoilt me he brought me a beautiful diamond eternity ring and a bunch of roses from him and my boys AF still has not shown i am 3 days late from last AF date but 1 day late from when i ovulated i feel funny down below a bit tender like when i have AF but so far nothing i expect she will show today.
Ferrals: Are you gonna test? Oh fingers crossed your UTD!
Tegam,
Good luck hon, not long now ,i'll be thinking of you. We are the same about trying if we have another loss but we'll try a be positive. Keep us posted.
Kitfaerie
So sorry about bfn . The new year always brings the best of new things. Wishing you a New year baby.
ferals4 - Thank you for the warm welcome - best of luck to you too :D
Rose123 - I tried researching symptoms in very early pregnancy but didn't find anything useful so i came to the conclusion i was crazy :lol: strange how the sickness was at the same time so i'll see if it happens again tonight! Best of luck for POAS :D
KitFaerie - Sorry for your BFN, I agree though - New year baby for you would be excellent!
Anyway, I have to go to work now - so don't want to - surprisingly I managed to get myself out of bed this early - recently I've had a very bad habit of sitting up on the laptop for hours until 3am sometimes and then not getting out of bed until 11am - and then being so tired all day! It's crazy - hopefully get out of that habit soon. Speak to you all later! Take care xo
hiya girls...
kit - sorry to hear about the BFN - crappy huh :doh: ive also missed out on my 2010 bubba but feeling very excited now about my 2011 bubba! As long as it doesnt take us in to 2012 then i think we should be right!
ferrals - so glad to hear you had a nice birthday!!! And so spoilt you are!!! Good on you!!!
matthewsmum / wouldloveabuuba - good luck with everything! happy triggering!!! x
HI to everyone else too including the lurkers - dont be shy, its good to share! xx
afm - had my acupunture again this morn, always feel so much calmer after! Just pottering around home today with my 2 doggies, weve had a lovely day together! They are the best!!!
No news from me though, AF has left the building and now just focusing on feeling good and happy to catch the egg this month! This is our month, it will happen, i can feel it! Come on girls - we can do it!!!!
Well gotta fly gals, off to see the Saints smash North Melb tonight with DH! ! Go Saints! :dance:
xx
Afternoon ladies, hope you're all having a good day.
KitFaerie - Big Hugs darl!
Ferrals - I'm keeping my fingers crossed that you get that BFP!
T-Hopes - Have fun tonight!
JellyLove - I do the same thing, only with the computer, not the laptop lol DH hates it when I'm on here because I don't talk to him for ages lol
Hi to everyone else!
afm - Still feeling yuck, but I'm better than I was, not as congested as I was, just have the start of a sore throat that feels like I have constant reflux :(
BB's are sore, and I'm NOT BLOATED!!! The first cycle since last year that I haven't been bloated almost every day!!! Yay!!! I'm so excited lol I fit back into my size 16 jeans properly again :)
My back is starting to get sore again too, so that's a plus in the TTC department, it seems to always get really sore when I'm UTD instead of the usual acheiness pre-AF.
AND..........
My temp rose to 36.5 today!
Here's my CHART... I'd appreciate it if you would all have a look and tell me what you think :)
afternoon all- ferrals-i bet your ring is beautiful,i'll have to get on to my dh about one of those...jellylove-hope you manage to get some sleep tonight...t-hopes-let the fun begin...jennajayen-sorry,i've never charted,hope someone comes on soon who is more help to you...thanks girls for your good wishes,hospital has rang for their money,credit card to the rescue,getting nervous...
Kitfaerie-No i havn't tested since thurs because i really feel like AF will come and if i were UTD it would have shown up by now if AF hasn't shown by mon then i will test again.
Thanks for crossing your fingers for me but i pretty sure i am not pregnant.
T-hopes-have fun at the footy tonight.
Jennajayen-isn't it nice not feeling bloated and your chart looks good could that be an implantation dip just before your temp rise.
Mathewsmum-my ring is beautiful i love it.
OUCH!!! the ivf and the credit card it scared the hell out of me seeing my $15,000 credit card all of a sudden have $14,000 taken for one cycle i had to use a lot of my savings for the orgalutran injections and all the workup appt's ect and that was on top of the $14k so it hit us hard we did get $8,000 back but there is no way we could afford PGD IVF again i have my fingers and toes crossed it all turns out and you get your BFP 1st go.
AFM-GRRRRR! still no AF i cant work out what is going on with my body i even got all worked up this morning and dragged DH back to bed to fool around which didnt bring AF on if anything it made me want more i feel a bit achey down below like AF wants to come but nothing before the ivf i was like clockwork now every 2nd month i am late by days what has happened to my body is it because i am getting old my cycles are getting longer
Hey all,
Once again, there are a million post. Good luck to all that are late for their AF. Lets hope it doesnt come :pray:
I hope everyone is feeling well. I have read all the post but have to get to dinner. Its 7 already. eh! Should have had it by now.
AFM - Feel crap! My emotions are going up and down from losing my lil man. The last week ive felt so crushed.
Ive had a few tummy pains lately and my "ladies"(not sure what letters are used lol sorry) have been feeling heavy and sore. Dont know why. I keep thinking i be.... but its to early for signs right? AF due bout the 16th going from my last one.
MANY MANY HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY DEAR FERRALS
Jenna - your chart looks promosing to me, wait for 2-3 days confirmation of temp rise...Hope this is your month...i am 9 dpo today and nice to have bfp this cycle...we can be cycle buddies in ff. my user name is ringsxyz, i will send you a invitie, if you dont mind
Ferrals - whats going on? testing again? all the best.
MurrayCod - how are you feeling? i am having busy days in new job, not getting enough time to check emails, i havent checked past msgs as well. hope this is your month lovey, i really wish a bfp for you.
t-hopes - how are you? hows acupunture going on?
Hi Anita - how are you?
tc

JennaJayen, Same! I don't go on the laptop when DF is around haha! Ah you should get a laptop then you can actually be in bed with it haha! It's bad though when your all snuggly in bed and you need a wee.... :o
MissK, Sorry you are feeling so crap - wish you all the best for testing... And apparently it's not too early for signs!! :)
T-hopes, This is the month! hehe best of luck! :D
Matthew's Mum, Thanks - I hope I do too, but I am addicted to the internet *sigh* :lol:
Take care all xo
hi to all the newbies, this thread seems to be overflowing, it's not fair so many wonderful people have to end up in here.
happy belated birthday ferrals, sounds like you were spoilt, and you still have your little kitty to look forward to! hope af is late for a reason, and you get your bfp this month.
Matthew's Mum i wish you all the luck for this cycle, i hope it goes well for you.
T-hopes sorry af turned up, i know i was crushed in my first month trying after m/c, but we got our bfp the next try, so i have everything crossed for you. i think with all the herbs and acupuncture you are in with a very good chance!
KitFaerie did af turn up yet, cuz if not you are still in with a chance, sometimes it just takes longer to implant and so longer to show up on a test.
Mummyof4, you should book yourself that appointment, it will take a lot of stress off your mind when you see that heartbeat. but i know it's going to be hard for you till you get past the 17 week mark.
sorry for not many persies, i wish you all the best with your ttc journeys and good luck to those of you in the tww x
afm, was my EDD day today, and i feel like everyone has forgotten. even dh didn't know :( i just have to look forward to my 12 week scan in 5 days, and hope we see a baby this time.
AF just turned up so i am out this month i am going to have a break for a while i am not copeing sorry ladies luv to you all.
Happy Bday Ferrals!!!!!Yay 4 U!!! may all your bday wishes come true this year and the some!!!!:dance:
to everyone else, happy easter, and sadly, welcome to our newbies xx
love to all persies 2moro
xxxxxx
Oh ferals I was typing as you typed your post, sorry sweet, Af is beyond a biatch, she comes ao unwelcomed and unwanted, I wish I could make you feel better, I just know I cant. love to you beautiful lady xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Hi all,
Jelly love. I don't think you are crazy. I had symptoms on 4 out of 5 of my previous pregnancies. They ranged from 6-10dpo but if i am pregnant this month i started 4/5 dpo. If i am not then i am crazy but is a sure sign. My symptoms today are the same really
Pulling like Af cramps since 5dpo
Metal mouth 7dpo only at night
Thirsty 6-8dpo
8 dpo (today) cramps not as bad but still there
I don't think you can emagine all these things or can you ?
ferrals4- Sorry to hear about Af showing up.You are so positive and stay that way.
Jennajeyen- sound very positive and my fingers are crossed for you. When are you testing?
Kitfaerie- How are you today? Any news i am hoping for a late plantation also and i have heard lots of stories about BFP at 16 and 18 dpo so stay strong and god bless.
Scarypink fairy- I am thinking of you hon.
Ferrals sweetheart, I know it's tough, the start of a new cycle feels like such an uphill battle, yes it is uphill, but I promise there is a small but graceouse light at the end, and one day we will get to there, to see how bright it is. Hold my hand we can walk it together, you have sure been there for me when I trip, so lets just do this.
I have decided to allow you just mabey........................2 days to have a hissy, then I am going to make you dust yourself off, then I will start dragging you down the TTC road if I have to!! Honey we can do this.
I am happy to hear that you got spoilt on your birthday, hey how long is it untill you get little kitty?? I thaught of a name for him, Merlin. :) Strong name for a handsome little man!! He will help you get through your tough days.
Matthew'smum all the very best for tomorrow, tell your FS the only eggs you want for easter are fertilised ones. I am sooo nervouse excited for you, can't wait to hear how many fertilised little eggies you get!!
WouldLAB, sounds like you are doing the same as I did last month!! I hope it all works out for you, sorry your IUI was cancelled. Oh the joys of Assissted Reproduction, fun fun fun fun...........
Rose your symptoms sound very promising!!
SPF, I am sorry about your EDD arriving, but am happy for you that atleast you have a little bubba to focus your love on to stay positive. Wishing you the very best healthy news for your upcomming 12wk scan.
Ric honey so lovely to hear from you, hope you are enjoying your job, and are keeping well X This month for me is a void month, I am getting a HEAP of immunology testing and NKcell testing done for my upcomming Stim cycle in May. So I hope this month flies by! I hate having to wait a month, but it will do me good, and I really wan't this testing done.
MissK, huggs to you darling XX Soon enough your happy days will out weigh the sad ones, and you will find more reasons each day to smile. Understanding that our greif is never far away from our hearts, a smile will soon folow. I promise XXXX
JennaJ I am not good at reading charts, have never really done the charting myself, but I am sure that a temp rise is a very good reason to be confident!XX Take it easy on yourself though, because a temp rise can also mean that your body is starting to fight a flu, so rest up and look after yourself XXXX
Thopes I have a soft spot for the Saints, so Go Saints!!!! WoW I haven't been to a live footy match for .......8 years now! I am a Bombers girl, but my hubby recons he will converge me to Sydney....yeah right! Have a great time!
Jellylove I used to be on the computer a lot a couple months back, but DH threatened to hide it on me if I didn't pick up my act!! (pay more attention to him blah blah!) I try to limit my time now, but he does understand that sometimes I need to chat here, esp when I am going through an IVF cycle, he appreciates the TMI break then!!
Kit Darling, sorry your test only showed the dreaded single line. Honey a 2011 baby will be wonderfull.
Possummagic, thanks, but sometimes my positive attitude can wear very thin!! I can share advice but not take it myself sometimes!! But all of you girls help me get through, and I love you all so much XX
Tegam, I know exactly how you feel, 2011 seems sooo far away, but it will be our year.
Mummyof4 did you get the courage to book your scan?? Honey it will be ok, I know it is a significant moment for you, but we are all here to help you get through it.
TTCALC, take the first day of full flow as Day1 cycle XXXX I hope you are having a great easter with your family XX
MillyD, I hope you are ok, our darling boys take things hard when they decide to have a meltdown, and don't stress too deeply on the deadline thing, he doesnt mean it so definite, it is just his way of being able to be in controll of something. XX
Alice, when do you think you will have another try? It's frustrating needing a break between cycles, but I know deep down I need it. And my friends thaught it was so great for me to meet them down the river today, and enjoy a bottle of wine with them, a very rare thing for me these days to let my hair down with them.
Bons I hope you are enjoying your weekend away XX
Audax, Snugglebuggs, your beta levels are great!! How high are they now?? I miss your Bejayjay jokes, sigh, but how are you feeling??? I hope that I can duck ovet to the pregnancy forums with you soon XXXXX
Craftymummy honey I hope you are ok, have been thinking of you X Were you seriouse about the bootie thing?!? Because I would sure love you to knit me a pair for goodluck!! I can keep them under my pillow like ferrals did with hers, and I just love knitted baby clothes!XXXXX
Loops darling, I hope you are having a wonderfull Easter break, and looking after yourself.
Yes a loss is a loss, no matter how early you were, it breaks my heart that you have had to go through this. I know of sooo many girls to loose a very early pregnanys with IVF, to go on a fall PG to a very healthy strong baby with their next try XXX We will get our dream, no matter how hard the fight XX
Dory my love, I hope you are going easy on that chocolate!!! Love to you XXXX
AFM, had a great day down the river with friends, my dogs had a swim and all of the scraps from the BBQ, so they are fat and asleep, like my little munchkins!!!!
Don't know what i'd do without my pupps XX
Murraycod! You should win a prize for your personal replys!
:lol: Cheers Tegam!
Happy Easter to you all and yours!!! Thinking of you all..
Lots of chocolate tomorrow but im doing it alot better then the other family that si getting them things.. I pretty much got them All 5 new shoes,new socks, and outfit and easter basket.. insteads of lots of candy... i really dont need all thisn candy with 5 kiddos...LOL
We had a BIG Cookout with some of the family it was a pretty Buestiful day out today and the cookout was very nice...

BEST WISHES TO ALL AND STICKYVIBES AND BABY DUST BEING SENT YOU !!
Have you seen the news about BondiGirl. So very sad. All the more reason to be here and get support off one another. Please please please say something girls if you are feeling this lost.
Makes me think that the TTC journey i am on is not so ............... i dont know, i cant find the right words.....
RIP Mikayla!
Tegam-I left a message it is so sad i know we all can get pretty depressed with losing a baby i know when we had to make the decision to end Abbi's pregnancy and then go through the 9 hour labour and hold her in my arms and say goodbye i wanted to die i didnt think i could go on it took me a while but even to this day i can not forgive myself for what i had to do the decision we had to make no mother or father should have to go through that i had my 3 boys to think of and if it wasnt for them i don't know how i would have got through it but this forum has been a big help to me and every month that i am reminded that i am still not pregnant i hit rock bottom again only for a day or two then i pick myself up and carry on because i know that all the friends i have here are going through this with me.
oh golly Tegam, that just breaks my heart. I have heard another similar story last year and it played on my mind over and over and the terrible despair that poor woman was in but how sad for her family that she couldn't find all the other beautiful things in herself and her life to keep going. You are so right, this forum is v. special and supportive, thank you to everyone for your posts :hug:
Sigh.
Kit darling I'm so sorry about the BFN - was getting v. excited reading through your earlier posts and thinking that maybe you and Ferrals were off to the bellybelly forums together (even though I'd miss you both terribly). Next month lovely, next month. It will happen. Hope those herbs do the trick. Hope you got lots of cuddles from your fur person and your lovely man. :hug:
Ah Ferrals - I hope you can find yourself again in all of this and feel strong again. Was logging on today to wish you a belated happy birthday for Friday. I had the family visiting overnight and feel exhausted from all the cooking and cleaning and hostessing but it was lovely to see them. Haven't been near the computer for a few days so busy catching up and have just read your last post and feel v. sad. Come back when you are ready - if only to tell us while you were away you got your longed for BFP. Such a beautiful present from your DH. Take care xx
MissK - hugs to you too - it is a crushing time after a loss but it will get easier. I hope AF doesn't come on the 16th and you get a nice surprise instead. Wouldn't that be lovely? Here's hoping.
Ric - hello! 9dpo so into the TWW. Good the new job is keeping you busy and fingers crossed this month is yours. We're still waiting on our third BFP so maybe it's you?!
JellyLove - I'm sorry for the loss you've experienced that brought you here but wanted to say hello and welcome. Six months is a long wait isn't it? I hope you don't have too much longer. Yep, I used to do the same - be on the laptop til the wee hours of the morning then tired all day. I did that a lot just after our loss but not so much now.
T-hopes - sounds like you've had fun with your nephew Mario - what a cutie. Laughing at your crazy dream of Jacob going for your DH!! Oh dear, I do remember having very vivid and strange dreams while I was pg. So you are doing a new cycle in May too? Sounds like there will be a few of us with MurryCod and Loops just after? Fingers crossed x
SPF - I'm sorry your EDD passed without any acknowledgment from your family- that was sad to read. Even though you are pg now, that loss will always be with you - I'm so sorry. Sending you lots of love and hugs for your scan this week. Looking forward to hearing about your little one's strong strong heart beat. Good luck xx
Mummyof5 - hope you got through your scan and all is well. Lots of love to you too x
MatthewsMum and Wouldloveabubba - be thinking of you both tonight doing your Pregnyl injections. GOOD LUCK!! Hope you get great eggs and a healthy bubba in your arms soon x
MurryCod - good on you for insisting on those tests! I had them done in November after all those years of IVF and it made me so cross that I didn't know of them and hadn't been given the choice to look at it all before. I remember feeling quite light headed after all the jabs! I'm fine with having jabs now but after 14 vials I was starting to think WTF! I hope everything comes back good. I was put on Clexane for our last transfer and that was my first BFP so I'm seeing a link there. I had no NK cells but a slightly elevated reading somewhere else (can't remember the details now) that made them think it was worth doing so hopefully if something does come back a bit out you can do something to help with this cycle. And there's always Harvey/Harriet :) Glad you got to have some enjoyable time with friends - sounds like it was just what you needed. Lots of love for this next cycle x We''ll be doing our cycles at the same time!
Crafty - can I put in an order for some booties too? I do a bit of crochet but knitting is something I'm definitely no good at. Will pm you :) Are you on a new cycle now? Hope the gadget is working for you. Fingers crossed.
Tegam - sorry that you and Kit have missed your 2010 babies :( I hope you're in for a new year bub instead and really, what better way to start the new year eh? Fingers crossed
Possum - are you a HP fan by any chance? I am. Just wondering how you and Bons went with the chocolate to body weight eating challenge? I have definitely consumed at least one half of my (ever increasing) weight and am very content (if a bit sick). You've had a long wait too - hope your BFP comes soon.
Gosh this is getting long but so much to catch up on!
Loops - hope your levels are fine and no need for another curette. Good luck for July and looking forward to chatting in the meantime.
Rose! My god girl, I think MurryCod is right and you are the QUEEN of the POASers!! Sounding hopeful though? Keep us posted!!
MillyD - I understand your DH not wanting to do this past 40 (I never wanted to be over 40 and still TTC but sadly that's been our journey. We started at 31 so it's nearly 10 years). I hope he changes his mind and sees that age won't mean he is any less of a Dad than what he would have been at 35. In some ways, he might be better? Anyway, fingers crossed you'll get your BFP before then.
Mildez - hope this TWW goes quickly and you get your BFP
Bons - enjoy your holiday x Hope you got lots of chocie
TTCaLC - glad little Alyse got through her op OK and good on you for being creative with the easter presents - sure the kids were just as happy. Hope all goes well for the op later this month IF YOU'RE NOT PG FIRST!

I'm sure by the time I post this I'll have missed more but hello everyone and sorry if I missed you.
Nothing from me today. Looking forward to May and trying to be positive that we'll have a baby this time next year keeping us up all night and making us tired.
Love to all

Afternoon ladies :)
Matthew's Mum - Thanks anyway darl :)
Ferrals - Thanks darl. Sending BIG HUGS out to you! Naughty AF turning up late! Not sure if it was implantation or not as my temp went back down to 36.3 this morning. Either I haven't ovulated, or something is up with my hormones :S I hope your break works wonders for you!
Alice - Thank you darl :) I'll be praying that you get good news in May :)
ric - Thanks darl, I accepted your request :) I'm 8dpo today, O'd on CD16... or at least I think I did. I had the usual big rise, and since then they've just been low and all over the place. I'm hoping it means something though.
Tegam - I saw it too, I left a message on FB early this morning before I came on here, I should probably go and leave another message in the thread though :( I know how she would have felt though, after being told to end the pregnancy and having the d&c with my first angel (I was 17 and he had major developmental problems) because of my age they told me that I HAD to have the d&c or it would be worse for me to go to term and deliver a stillborn baby... now I wish I had gone to term... at least I'd have a grave to go and visit, instead I now have nothing. I wanted to die, to be with my baby.
TTCALoveChild - Glad you had a great time darl :)
Murraycod - Thanks darl, I'm resting, honest... making jewellery while sitting in front of the fire in the shed counts as resting doesn't it? lol Glad you had a great day too :)
Rose - I'm testing on the 13th... if AF doesn't arrive and I don't give in and test before then lol I'm a recovering POAS addict lol
Scarypinkfairy - HUGE HUGS darl! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your scan goes wonderfully!
Jellylove - lol we have a laptop too, but I hate using it, it's slow and my hands end up seizing up when I use it (funnily enough, that doesn't happen on the big computer lol). I spent the first 4 months of pregnancy with DS snuggled up in the beanbag with 2 doona's and my old laptop (that we sold... stupid thing to do as it had a bigger hard drive than the other laptop), even though my physio told me I couldn't sit in beanbags for the rest of the pregnancy... like I was going to do what the physio said when the beanbag was the only comfortable place to sit on and sleep in lol. Very hard to get up to go to the loo though... or to refill my drink bottle. I kept on begging DH to get me some of those adult nappies so that I wouldn't have to move until the evening lol I was desperate at the time, though now it seems really silly.
afm - Feeling better again, but loosing my voice now lol. Temp is back down to 36.3 as said above, really achy/crampy down there, sort of like tenderness but not iykwim. BB's still sore, thought I was going to throw up on 2 occasions today, a bit of reflux every now and then, though that could be because of all the chocolate I've eaten today lol still getting hot flushes at odd moments - not many but enought make me notice them - and my back is quite sore.
Been keeping busy making jewellery, so that I don't go crazy in the 2WW. Trying to make something for a competition that could win me a trip to Fiji for 5 days to attend some beading seminars + $1500 voucher for a beading store + $500 Myer gift card + a trophy + beading magazine subscription + $300 voucher for another beading store. I'd be in beading heaven if I won lol I'm already imagining the things I could make with all those beads, and the chocolate and clothes I could buy from Myer... and Sun bathing on the beach in Fiji...
And I should stop going on about it before I start drooling lol
Have a happy easter everyone!
