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
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...
Im sooooooo exhausted but wanted to stop in and tell you all Happy easter..
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.....
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
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.
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!
Jenna - welcome. You've been through a lot I can see from your signature. to you and good on you for just swallowing your pride and joining us. You are most welcome here x
Dory - hope that bub is enjoying the chocolate fest!
EloiseLouise - good to hear from you. Hope all is well.
To Sunbeam and Jahazra and Kirsten and Em and all the others who we are missing - love to you.
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
Alice x

: Forgot something!
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
afternoon everyone ,missk-sorry your feeling down...ric -fingers crossed this is your month...rose123,jellylove,millyd,craftymummy-how are you ?..scarypinkfairygood luck for your scan,big hugs for your edd...ferrals-sorry af showed...murraycod-good to hear youv'e had a good day...tegam-very sad to read about bondigirl...jennajayen-good luck winning that holiday...alice-hope may brings good news,keep staying positive...afm-had egg pick up today,dr worried about hyper stimulation now as they retrieved 18 eggs,this old girl surprised them all ,i think.Needed to use frozen back up sperm sample so they said they would probably use icsi to try to fertilise,ring tomorrow for a fertilisation report,so another step closer,hope we get some to fertilise now
Hi everyone, I am not sure if I am doing this right but here goes.
We are waiting for AF and will start on another Clomid with triggers cycle.
PLEASE send me vibes for AF, I know that sounds insane on this list and I can assure it will be the last time I request that.
I am scared to death trying again, we have been on a break since we lost our 2nd precious angel last easter. 12 months off has been great.....After sinking so low I was clinically depressed after the loss of our first and then second baby all within 9 months I needed some time to regroup and get my head around their losses.
BUT I am better, healthier and this is going to work!!!
I am excited to join in here and Hope I can get a hang of posting ;o)
anyone else have PCOS. I just started Metformin finally(previous OB refused to give it to me) I feel amazing already on it........
SO operation baby is underway in this house.
Hugs to you all, baby dust and vibes sent to everyone here.
MatthewsMum: Oooh that's exciting! Hopefully no OHSS though! Let us know how many fertilise...could be multiples on the horizon?
Ferrals: Oh F*** (I know it will be edited, but there's really no other way to say it). F***. I'm sorry your out this month, it sucks sooo much. Still, each month brings you closer to the month when you'll get your BFP. Wallow for a bit (I know I am) then come back, it's a whole new cycle baby!
Jenna: You've got some serious stuff going on there girl! I hope it's all turns out for the best. Beading sounds awesome, I understand that in theory it could be relaxing, but whenever I've tried it it's ended in disaster. Like some truly truly embarrassing jewellery and beads flung across the room. I am all for Fiji though, lol.
Alice: I know! I was getting excited too, I did so well in assuming I wasn't and then those darn symptoms show up and they're just giant stupid mean tease's. Next month, I will not be taken in by them! No matter how much sore boobage occurs. Meanwhile, May has your name written all over it!
Tegam: I know re BondiGirl, it's so sad. Had a big talk with my DH about it, it's scary that it's understandable, I hope we'd catch each other though. I think we would.
TTCALC: Glad you had a nice easter, now go get some rest! xo
MurrayCod: Thank you sweetheart, 2011 is pretty good I can just imagine some happy puppies sleeping off a huge meal, lol.
SPF: I'm sorry they forgot your EDD You'll always remember your angel xo
Rose: Hope your doing ok
Hi to MillyD and Jellylove! xoxo
AFM: Yesterday was such a bad day, I was so sure I was gonna get a BFP, totally crushed AF still hasn't shown up, but I think yesterday was 12 DPO so if it was there it would have shown up, I use the early detection tests and it was FMU. So now I just wait for Day 1 again. Got some Maca root, so hopefully that will shorten my cycles back to 28-30 instead of 35 days. This baby is coming no matter how long it takes, and whether it likes it or not. But, hopefully in 2011.
Mummatomany welcome to BB, and I am sorry for your losses XXX a
As you can see we are a pretty mad sort of a bunch, but kind and supportive also, so strap in for the ride because 'Mission Baby Making' is one journey we all love to share XXX
JJ, that sounds like a lovely hobby you have, and one awesome competition!! I hope you win it!! Your symptoms are still sounding positive, I hope tis is your lucky month XX
Matthew'smum, how are you feeling sweetheart?? I was pretty groggy after my EPU, and a little crampy, but I hope you woke up feeling ok XX
WOW 18 eggies!! OMG!!! You ovaries must feel like party poppers have gone off inside your tummy!!! Praying you get a good number of those eggs healthy and fertilised honey XX Good Luck, as helpless as you may feel over the next couple of days, it's a numbers game now for a while, so rest up, take it easy because you are going to have one hell of a TWW on your hands!!
Alice, that is the best news that we will be stimming it up together in May!!
I was pretty nervouse insisting on those tests, my FS wasn't that keen to do them so early considering we have only had one failed IVF, but I told him I was too anxiouse to move forward unless I got some answere. He gave in when I started begging!! If they find something, fine, fix it. If they don't, I will feel more confident going ahead with out next try, so it's a win win for us I feel.
TTCALC, happy easter honey, I can't wait to have children in my life to celebrate family holidays, and great thinking with the gifts, have a lovely time XXXXX
Tegam, what sad news, but thanks for letting us know, I had no idea that had happened. I left a msg XX
I hope you are well honey, glad you like my posts!!!
I'm off to keep cooking my roast lamb, smells delightfull!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXx
Strong name for a handsome little man!! He will help you get through your tough days.
Cheers Tegam!
I hope you're in for a new year bub instead and really, what better way to start the new year eh? Fingers crossed
to you and good on you for just swallowing your pride and joining us. You are most welcome here x
You soooo got edited!!
