Well its all sorted.. not the most ideal situation but alright.. we have decided i will throw our 2 dogs in the back of the ute and drive the 500ks to get to dh and go camping for 3 days with him. From cycle day 12 til the arvo cycle day 14 or early cycle day 15- depending when i get positive opk. He will still be working all day but where they will be is in the middle of the bush with a freshwater creek so shld be nice and relaxing.. Alot of sleep and bding!!! I will be so embarrassed while im there.. he works with 3 other guys! I said to dh yesterday.. 'well i bet ur the first one that a woman has driven miles for just so they cld bd with u! u must feel pretty good!' His reply - 'im not even thinking of the sex... theres a greater cause! babies!!!' haha but oops i think he kinda realises ill be using him.. But nah it will be very nice to get away for a few days with my girls and just do my own thing.. and share the evenings with him.. oh and 10 mins in the morning
Even if it doesnt happen this month atleast i will know we gave it our best shot.. and that shot better be a good one!
Mildez- Oh my goodness ur dh must have some strong little spermies.. waiting 6 days for that egg to pop! wow! And thanku for helping to make me feel not so crazy driving k's and k's to bd!
Saffy - It made me laugh reading that inside u were furious at dh for being admitted to hospital while u were O'ing! haha i defintely think i wld be the same! i actually think i wld have to get him into the toilets and do it anyway! I hope i dont o as early as u - day 10 or 11.. we wld have no chance then! FX. Since i went off the pill and didnt get af for 4 months and then got it permanently for 3 months and then went straight onto clomid ive never really had a normal cycle to compare anything with! so frustrating! I think it shld be around day 14 though.. hopefully!
Matthew mum- thanku for letting me know that info. x
Possum magic- I am probly trying to make this happen way too much this month but i honestly dont think i cld manage just letting the month pass me by, i wld be angry and resentful at dh i think.. even though that is a bit ridiculous cos he does have to work after all.. or who will support our dear little baby when it comes! I am just hoping now all goes to plan..(like i dont 'o' too early) and if it doesnt then its really not meant to be! I hope u get a sneaky bfp!! be sure to let us know! when are u testing??
Craftymummy- I believe it will happen for u too.. when ur least expecting it too.. just like kit!! everytime i see my gyno he tries giving me a new presciption for clomid.. i always have to tell him i still have 6 months left of it and that i hope to god i dont get thru it all! I might become bb's clomid dealer!
Alice- i feel as though the last 11 weeks since i m/ced were an enforced break! it nearly did my head in!! and now finally when i get all the drugs to get my body back to normal i wld be absolutely devastated not to be able to give it a chance! But like one of my friends said.. maybe i shld be giving my body 1 cycle to try and get back to being a bit more normal.. and maybe i shld be taking the signs and letting things just be.. But i cant!!! haha. Oh this ttc to such hard work!!! Thanku so much tho
I saw a naturopath once, i went there feeling healthy and walked out with $300 worth of pills! How does that work!! Apparently my liver was in a bad state and all these other things but i dont feel like the pills did anything and i only took them for a month and then went back to taking nothing.. and im still healthy! I wld defintely be getting tests done from ur normal GP, no point worrying about something if theres nothing really there to worry about!! Good luck oh and i have no idea how u go without all that 'necessary' stuff - like sugar etc!! u must be very strong willed!
Kit- I am kinda looking forward to the 2ww.. crazily enough! it will be good to get back on track! it will be a bit nerve racking but nothing compared to the worrying etc that i think ill be doing when i do actually fall pg.. as much as i will try not to worry i dont think it will work until i see that little heartbeat.. something i have never seen. I just hope we dont miss 'o' time! And u know its funny u shld say that if u try and 'push' the process ur scared something cld go wrong, i still feel like thats the reason i mc'ed, i went to the doctors at 5 weeks and then found out at 9 weeks that it had stopped developing at 5 weeks. Its a bit silly to think like that but its still in the back of my mind. Im so glad ur just enjoying being pg. how many hpts have u gone thru??!?! hahaha oh and thanks for that info on maca! i have been taking it for 2 weeks but i stopped when i started on clomid cos i thought it cld clash, but i might google it tonight and see if theres any info on the 2 together, if theres not i will start back up on it again!
Iona macca- and now the 2ww begins! hope it goes fast and ends in a BFP!!!
Murraycod - U made some great points.. as usual! if i hadnt been able to do what im doing then i defintely wld have taken ur advice and sent him some texts etc. I think it will feel a bit forced when i see him next week but we havent really made bding into a big chore yet- we still do it everyday even when im not o'ing. I do notice sometimes tho that i put ttc before my dh.. luckily my dh brings me back down to earth and points out that he wldnt mind if we never had a baby as long as we still had eachother. When he says that it makes me realise how very true it is. Lucky u having 2 weeks off work! have a good bday xx
Porsche- Yay that ur body is giving u signs!! Go catch that egg!!!
Big hugs to everyone else! Thinking of u all xxxxxx
Happy birthday to all the May babies: Kitfaerie, Murray Cod and Dory. Did I miss anyone? I'm a May baby too! Soon to turn 35.
Crafty! Black market clomid lol! Good to hear you're feeling positive again. Yup, know what you mean about the 9mth mark. It feels like such a long time it doesn't feel real that i was actually pregnant last year. I can't help getting a little crazy during the tww but i'm also feeling a bit more peaceful about the whole TTC thing. I'm trying to enjoy life at the same time and if it happens it happens. (Or that's what i'm trying to convince myself!)
Murray cod! Loved the update. I don't want to start unsubstantiated rumours but i thought i saw in another thread that miss K and Tegam are also escapees? Hmmm: you really made me think with what you wrote about LTTTC after MC/L. It sounds like that could be a really important thread to have. I hope that people would post in a couple of places though cos there are some wonderful people in here like you in that category...and I am so hanging out to see you be a Yay for May girl!
Kitfaerie: thanks for your lovely posts. Oh I hope you're right and I am brewing a BFP!
Reet: i'm due for AF between Sunday and Tuesday but i'm trying to make myself promise not to test because if i'm late i'm more sure of a positive cos i'm never more than 30 day cycle. Hey I love the sound of your camping trip. I know it's very um goal oriented but I still think it sounds romantic, camping by a creek with just you DH and your furbabies. And what a great story to tell your baby when it grows up!
Alice: You are one dedicated woman. You can be a Yay for May girl with your heroic diet and then you'll be "in tune for June" and your IVF!
Glad everyone seems to be on track again ! ( some on a long track with a creak at the end )
Driving all over to bdance and not eating certain things oh how dedicated you all are !
Been thinking of taking macca as some girls swear by it but I wonder if it will interfere with the chinese meds I am taking at the moment and where do you get it from anyways ?
My Bdancing marathon will begin on the weekend so fingers crossed we get the right day I am showing signs of mucus begining so yay for that looks like my cycles are back to some kind of normality after 8 mnths sure has been a long time for this old body !
Will enjoy my last few glasses of wine this month before the TWW as I need to be good and as healthy as possible but im afraid I still have a glass of pepsi everyday but I don't drink coffee at all so I figure its not that bad !
My kids took me shopping and bought some lovely new fabrics for mothers day to make a lap quilt now the evenings are cool so will be busy sewing in my TWW should help me get by
Enjoy your road trip and good luck all in the TWW let us know ASAP any results on POAS

Matthew'sMum, sorry babe, Huggs to you XX As I said to you a few months back, he will come back to you at the right time this time, and be a beutifull healthy boy X
Crafty, know nothing about macca, sorry! Enjoy your weekend you fox!!
IonaMacca, studying for your exams should help make your TWW go by swiftly XX
Possum, I loved the little rhyme you made up for Alice!!! Well done for being a stronger woman than I and not POAS, Oh I will popping in and out all weekend to find out how you go XX
Reet, I am glad things are all sorted, and the dogs will love it too!! Happy camping my friend!! (take some baby wipes with you, the creek may be a bit cold to wash in this time of year!!)
Dory, Belated Happy Birthday girl!!!!! My kitties are doing wonderfull, my little foxie is starting to get used to them slowly. I walk around with her on a leash while the kitties are playing outside, and she getts all excited when they run after grasshoppers!! My ginger kit, keeps rubbing himself against my little feisty foxie, but she is starting to wag her tail and like it! Well it is going to make my TWW buisy enough training them all anyway!!
Porche, happy bding!X
Loops, are you any wiser as to whats going on with that naughty reproductive system of yours??X
Start my Orgalutran inj's tonight, so 2 a night now, plus the antibiotics, prednisolone, blah blah!
Am starting to feel a bit tender at both my ovary areas, somethings working in there!!
Iona- good luck with exams, hope studying helps fill in the TWW
matthewsmum- sorry you are going to be going through that, it is very difficult to pass such milestones and wish you were pregnant xx
craftymummy- I only just heard about macca as well, maybe ask in a health store, I have just started taking royal jelly, suppsed to improve the quality of eggs ( I'm sure we would all drink elephant pee if we thought it would help us get pregnant) when I was researching royal jelly, macca was mentioned a lot too ( I just googled it). Have agreat mother's Day!
possummagic-I am feeling better, thank you for thinking of me, I'm not a may baby but early june, and the thought of turning 38 and not being pregnant ( I started trying when I was 36) is unbearable so I am NOT going to even let it enter my mind. SO happy birthday to you soon, I loved being 35 its a great year. Hope AF doesn't turn up either!
Reet- great plan! I would be embarrassed too in front of the workmates but its a small price to pay, hope its a gorgeous little getaway! I'm sure you'll O at the normal time, I have always been early so don't worry about being the same as me!
Dory-happy birthday, nice to hear from you and glad you are feeling more grounded.
Porsche-hooray for EWCM hope it does its job!
murrycod- your last post was just amazing, what a wise woman you are! Thanks for your words on IVF I am starting to open up to it now rather than fighting it. Enjoy your last day at work and good luck with the scan monday xx
Kit- hi hon, hope the boobies are really, really sore (IYKWIM) and your little faerie is snuggling in nice and tight
Alice- you are hard core with all the temping,diets and herbs etc, I agree waiting another month and making sure everything is good to go is a great idea, increase the chance of success xx
Hi to any lovely ladies I missed, hope all is well in TTC land
Nothing much to report from me, skin clearing up, paperwork for police check for IVF sent off, just waiting for the UK one to arrive as well, really tired this week, maybe related to having acupuncture on Monday? She said it might make me tired but I though she meant just that day. I'm in TWW but trying not to think about it
Ciao from me for today, may not get back on over weekend so hope all the mummy's and mummys-to-be have a great mother's day and all us mummys-in-waiting do too xxx
I am so so sad.. my puppy is missing.. i cant stop crying I got home from work and heidi our 3 yr old girl was sitting on the front step but no sign of nala.. no idea how they got out of our yard. I have searched the streets.. called the pound.. all i can do now is sit here and cry by myself
reet-so sorry ,are you going to put up some posters in your area,sometimes the local radio station puts it across the air as well,is he micro-chipped,i know how much we get attached to our animals,they really become part of the family,have you tried asking neighbours in the street,they may have seen something?hoping for you...saffy,murraycod & ionamacca-thanks ladies
Hi Ladies
Thanks once again so much for asking after me, means so much, more than words can say!!
KitFaerie, MurrayCod and Dory HAPPY BELEATED BIRTHDAYS - Sorry if I missed these.
Reet ~ I hope you found your doggie - I would be the same just so scared. FX you've found her hun! GL with the BD'ing
Kit ~ Not sure If I said congrats, so CONGRATULATIONS - fingers crossed hun that everything goes smoothly.
Matthewsmum ~ Big hugs xo, must be hard. Stay strong, keep trying, we are here with you!
Yet again Ive fallen behind and its so hard to do persies.
GL to all, will be thinking of you all, particularly tomorrow as I know everyone will be having a hard time. Enjoy your Mothers Day with loved ones however - big hugs and love to all.
I'll be away for a week on my holiday in Tassie, so sending now lots of
AFM ~ BFN couple of days ago then 6 hrs later there was a faint line. I reckon they might be from my last pg though or something because Im pretty sure AF knocking at the door. Ive had lots of mucous last couple of days, slight headaches, slight sore nipples and today have sharp jabs in lower tummy. I reckon its going to be a doozy AF but I just want it to come and be over already.
Will be enjoying my holiday and not thinking about TTC, which will be a lovely break.
Reet: Oh sweetie, has your furbaby shown up yet? We lost george one night, it was horrible, I hope your pup is home safe and sound!
Saffy: Sore boobies - check! Good luck for the TWW, tiredness could be good, glad your on track with IVF, plans are awesome, everyone should have a plan!
Crafty: Sewing during the TWW sounds good, I have a scarf for DH that needs finishing, it's been about 3 months in the making, I think if I only had 2 weeks to finish something the best I could do is polish off a pack of biscuits!
Iona Macca: Boo for exams! I have mine coming up in 4 weeks, I'm really really hoping they're multiple choice, I love multiple choice!
Murraycod: Hooray for tender ovaries! Hope they're pumping out some super strong eggs, just think, this could be the first week of your pregnancy, one (two, three?) of those little eggs could be your baby. Awesome Hope your doing ok, bringing out the crazy lady yet?
Reet: Sounds like a plan, your a woman on a mission!
AFM: Just coasting along in my little limbo land! I don't belong anywhere yet! I'm scared to post in PAML, or belly buddies, still haven't been to see a doc, and I've been reading lots here but haven't had the courage to post as much as I've read. I've stopped testing, the line got darker each day so that's good. I'm gonna have to see the doc eventually cos I want a referral for a 6 week ultrasound. I've never seen a heartbeat, and I really really hope this baby has one. I've been eating like a mofo, lol. I guess cos I've had 2 miscarriages (one chemical in Jan 09, wasnt trying, just a bit crap with the pill) I don't know whether it's bad luck, or something more sinister. Just waiting to see if I keep this baby, if I don't, then it's time for lots and lots of testing. Oh yeah, I'm such a positive influence, sorry ladies! If you need me to move on, then that's fine, I understand and respect that.
Sorry i have not posted for so long. It has been a few months, how bad of me.
Last time i was on here I was having a hard time with my partner over the whole ttc stuff. He just decided to give up on it. It was too much for him. So we both took a step back with it. We actually split for a little while over it all. But it was temporary. Just needed a breather I think.
I've been working very hard at building my little business is PT and Zumba classes. Zumba is going crazy so not much time these days for anything else! We're not officially TTC again, but not being careful either. So we will just see what happens.
I feel like i've missed out on so much! How are all you lovely ladies?
I just wanted to say a big hello, and surprise! I will be joining you in the 'yay for may' club NOW. DP has become so excited about TTC, he insisted I stop my bcp immediately. Naturally I am thrilled, and keen to get this show on the road. I was originally going to take the remainder of my pills before we TTC, but it seems now they belong in the garbage.
Yay for that, and yay for may.
As a sidenote, I have a small question. Should AF start right away?? Tomorrow is my 4th day of no bcp and so far I'm having some pretty standard cramping and lower backpain. I'm thinking because I stopped about a week into the pack, I won't have much of a bleed. I really haven't been having more than a day or so of bleeding for the last 6 months or so. Sorry for TMI... lol. I realise this is probably naughty, so we aren't trying too hard this month, more just throwing caution to the wind.
We are just so excited. I've been lurking around this thread for a while, and am so glad to finally be able to join in. I will take some more time tomorrow to read up on what's been happening with you lovely ladies then.
Feeling quiet tonight so just a few persies, sorry.
MatthewsMum - thinking of you I'm sorry you are passing your second EDD while still TTC. I hope you got through the day OK with lots of love and support from your DH who must be feeling v. sad too.
MurryCod - how're you going with the jabs? is DH improving? I hope your making lots of good eggs in there girl to make up for feeling so tender. Got everything crossed for you.
Reet - did your puppy show up?
Loops - did you test again?
Iona-Macca, Crafty, Possum, Mildez, Kit, Bons, Jellylove - hello to you all
T-hopes - you back from your trip? Hope you had a great holiday
TTCaLC - hope you're back on your feet and feeling better and your little brood and keeping well and happy
Ric, Ferrals, Sunbeam, Millyd, Dory - hi if you are lurking
Saffy - yes, diet is hard core - hope it helps 'cause the faint hope is the only thing that keeps me going. Can't believe you need police checks to do IVF in Vic. Hope it all goes well for you.
Forshelby and Ciara-e - welcome back to you both and all the best - I hope you aren't in here for long.
Back soon for a proper catch-up. Feeling rather sad, it being Mothers Day and all. Seems harder this year with our angel hovering. Know I'm not alone with that one. I hope this time next year we are all holding our babies in our arms and counting our blessings.
I'm Gemma and I am about to start TTCing again after having a miscarriage in early March at 14.5 weeks. Long story short is after having my NT scan at 12 weeks, I was given the odds of 1:3 for Trisomy 21 and 1:16 for Trisomy 13/18. I was sent for an Amnio at 14.5 weeks only to discover that my baby no longer had a heartbeat. The next day I miscarried naturally at home before I was hospitalised over night and then had a D&C the next morning.
I am now waiting for AF to show herself for the second time (am due tomorrow or the next day) before I start my next FET cycle. I can't wait as I need to move on but at the same time I feel that people might think that I am rushing into something that I am not ready for. Having a miscarriage is nightmare that I would not wish on anyone, but people who have not been through it seem to not fully understand.
Ok first things first! I found our darling puppy!! yay!! i cried from 5pm friday arvo thru til 8.30am sat morning when i called Yaps (young animal protection society) and she was there! someone dropped her there the arvo before. Oh i was so happy.. but exhausted! I was still walking around the street calling her name at midnight the nite before and putting posters up.. then i laid on the couch with the front door open all nite hoping to hear her footsteps. Imagine what ill be like when i have kids.. crazy!!! I am spoiling her rotten now.. haha even tho i shldnt be cos she so naughty for leaving.. but i just love my girls so much.. and its times like this that make u realise just how much they mean to u.
And Possum magic im a may baby too! wow theres a few of us in here! im the 20th. Im not even thinking about it or looking forward to it though.. both DH and mum will be away for it.. the 2 ppl that make bdays special!
So possum has AF come yet?? i hope not! fingers crossed! i will be so excited to get home on thurs and hear some good news on here!
Craftymummy - My girlfriend who is a health and beauty therapist stocks maca.. 100 capsules for $30. If u wld like to get some off her i cld organise for her to post some to u?? She swears by it.
Matthews mum- thinking of u.. pls try and stay positive. I always find ur posts so unselfish.. u are always wanting to know how everyone else is and u hardly ever tell us whats going on with u.. ur so lovely. We are all here for u x
Iona Maca- i hope studying and assignment work isnt too hard or boring. Glad u have something to take ur mind off the 2ww tho
Murraycod- Yes! must remember baby wipes! its going to be so funny, we will be bd'ing in the morning, DH will go and work and ill lay back under a tree.. or up against it for the day allowing gravity to do its thang!
Saffy- so when are u going to start testing??
Loops- I so think ur pg!! Have a nice relaxing trip to tassie.. be sure to let us all know if that line gets darker!
Kit- No dont leave us just yet!!! we all love having u here! how many weeks are u now?? 4ish?? All i ever wanted was a 6 week scan when i found out i was pg, i just felt like something wasnt right, but everyone told me it was normal to feel like that (i knew i shld have listened to my intuition) atleast now once u have had a mc they allow u more easily to have an early scan. Peace of mind earlier And there will be a heartbeat! all of our next babies are going to be healthy! Remember positive thinking!! it worked last time for u x
AFM: My body is being very very very annoying. I have had constant creamy cm the last few days and then today it turned into bleeding.. i dont know what is going on! clomid shouldnt bring af on!! i finished taking them 2 days ago.. my body shld be getting ready to O! I did an opk today and there was a really faint line so maybe i will o still in the next few days, golly gosh i hope so.. or this trip will be rather pointless.. imagine that! turn up with full blown af!! haha wldnt dh hate that!! I only bled for half a day after taking progesterone tablets so maybe this is just old blood or something, I have no idea. Im so over my body. I just want it to be normal.
Well ive gotta keep getting ready to go camping tomoro, i always leave everything to the last minute!
Thinking of u all, i will miss u for the next 3-4 days!! there will be ALOT of catching up to do! xxxx
But nah it will be very nice to get away for a few days with my girls and just do my own thing.. and share the evenings with him.. oh and 10 mins in the morning 
bonanza, hope you catch the eggy to
Well done for being a stronger woman than I and not POAS, Oh I will popping in and out all weekend to find out how you go XX
) and your little faerie is snuggling in nice and tight 
I got home from work and heidi our 3 yr old girl was sitting on the front step but no sign of nala.. no idea how they got out of our yard. I have searched the streets.. called the pound.. all i can do now is sit here and cry by myself
