thanks for such a warm welcome, support and wise words from you all especially dory, i have been reading the list for a while now and you are all so supportive of each other. i am having a really bad day today so i wont stay long and bring you all down but i am reading and wishing you all well
Iona: hopefully you just tested too early, fingers crossed there is some good news for you in the next few days
evening everyone,ionamacca-sorry...reet-yes,i need tissues when i watch those shows,but i still watch them...damprye-thanks for sharing your video...forshelby-maybe a 'thinking of you" card,sometimes writing words are easier than saying them...bons-nice to see your name again...alice-they told me they thaw one at a time...loops-good tractor news,sorry about bfn & having to wait for ivf,hope you get lucky naturally..minniemouse-good luck with your to tests,hope tomorrow is brighter for you...jakabella-sorry for your loss,hope your next bfp is here soon...mskara-hope you don't have to wait to long to see specialist...hugs to all..afm-cycle day 16,had another bt today,will get result tomorrow...
Loops- Oh i hope the tractor offer comes through for u!! And as much as i hate to say it cos it freaks me out that i wont be pg by then.. but october will come very fast. Its scary how fast time has been going.. funny that when i was pg it was the longest 9 weeks ever!
Bons- Will dh be back for 'o' time in a couple weeks??! I hope so! I hope af is nice to u now.. Pls send her to my house.. i miss her!!
Forshelby- U know what.. its harsh.. but i think ur friend deserves for u to ditch her.. honestly i dont believe she is a true friend.. i reckon she wld have been meaning to rub it in ur face by sending that pic thru. A couple of my friends are even terrified to tell me that their friends have fallen pg! It does affect me but at the same time theres no real jealousy cos i dont even really know the chicks.. but so lovely that my friends are still sensitive towards the subject.
Oh and dont think i wld have got a bd in when i oed.. dh has been away for over a week. im so glad i didnt know i was oing! it wld have been a 800k dirt road trip again! haha.
I was on levlen for 8 years.. maybe the amount of time i was on it has to do with my body being all messed up. I never took the sugar pill either, so therefore never really got af.. she only ever came when i forgot to take pill for a couple days. If i cld turn back time i wld defintely let af come every month. But yeah i guess my body just got lazy over the years.. it has to learn how to rlease that egg again! I hope it doesnt take too much longer!
And yep i never really get to watch my tv shows when dh is here.. he loves his car shows too, im not really a tv person anyway.. too busy on bb! haha.
Iona- I agree with dory.. i have a good feeling about this with u.. especially with all ur symptoms. Hopefully it is too early. Love that u were going thru ur bank statements to find when u bought hpts.. i have done a few things like that.. it all becomes a bit psychotic dont u think!
Dory- How exciting that u have only 99 days to go! Doesnt sound like much at all! Oh.. i just realised i was meant to be due in sept.. damn it.. thinking about it always hits that raw nerve.
I havent watched marley and me just yet.. i have been wanting too.. but just havent felt up to it. Apparently it is good though to watch sad movies when ur feeling down.. it helps to release all those built up tears. And i am defintely going to watch 99 balloons in the next few days.. my sister is staying here at the moment so dont want to freak her out if i start bawling my eyes out!
Minniemouse- Welcome. sorry to hear about ur family problems.. im not sure what to say in regards to the matter.. except what a couple of the others have said.. it really is ur families problem, and once they realise this it will be a bit of a journey until u can completely forgive and trust them again. I bet it is eating away at ur mum every time she goes to sleep at nite.. no mother wants to let there daughter down like that. Is there any chance that u can give ur brother ur side of the story?? Its always hard for the person stuck in the middle when they only know half of whats going on.. there a lot more likely to back the person up who went to them in the first place. Good luck babe, we are here to support u.. anytime u feel like a whinge etc.. just come 'ere! x
Possum- not much chance of having a sneaky bfp.. dh hasnt been here for over a week.. apparently i oed last week! i just cant wait til af shows up.. im actually looking forward to all the cramps and other nasty stuff she brings along!
Damprye- Oh my goodness! i am exactly like forshelby with ur vid.. i have never seen such a detailed birthing video.. i cldnt believe u werent screaming! but like u said u defintely would have been very worn out by then! Thanks for sharing it I hope u caught that eggie! and if not u better give ur dh all uve got next month! i think we all will be! I have said it before and im sure this wont be the last time i say it.. but dont u wish we didnt need men to fulfill our baby dreams! imagine if we cld keep the sample in a cup until it was o tiime and inject ourselves with it everyday! hahaha.. so much easier! it wld still be good to have a man on standby for whenever we felt a bit randy tho
Hello to everyone else too.. Murraycod- I hope ur doing well! i occassionally stalk u in another thread. i cant wait til u see ur babies heartbeat in a couple weeks! And where has craftymummy gone??? Missing u in here! how did the appointment go with fertility clinic?? are u on clomid yet?? and matthews mum missing u too! did u end up oing ontime?? I hope the fet goes well. Alice- thinking of u xx Ric- where have u gone?? still lurking or just having a bit of a break? Thopes- hope ur doing ok and recovered from op. Ferrals- always thinking of u xxx Sunbeam.. how are u going?? havent heard from u in a while too. I know i have forgotten a few ppl.. i hope ur ALL doing good tho xxx
AFM- I went to healthfood shop today and stocked up on maca in powder form. I was taking capsules but it was quite expensive and the naturopath said i needed quite a high dose to get body on track. So i am really going to pump that for the next week and pray pray pray that af arrives sooooon!!! xxxx
reet-i'm still here,a few of the others have posted in the ltttc after loss thread,hope your new supplies work for you.I think i've o'd ,just waiting on bt result to confirm,then i should get a transfer date...
Iona: Sorry for BFN. I'm hoping BFP will still show up by the end of the week
Damprye: Holy cow, that's some labour! I thought i was doing well with about 32 hours start to finish! Forshelby: don't worry, labour is only one day or so in your life and baby is forever. It's a small window in time. And the first part is not so bad and by the time you get to the harder bit you're often a bit out of it which helps. And there are drugs if you want them! Or other strategies that help.
Reet: Bummer about DH being away for 'o' time but maybe it's better you didn't know if you would have had to stress about whether to hike up the dirt track again!
Dory: Beautiful advice you gave Forshelby on options for wishing condolences
BOns: Sorry AF arrived. Hope she leaves soon.
Mathewsmum: hope your egg pops soon. Must be getting close?
MsKara: How are you? Sorry you found out there are some thyroid problems. But hopefully once this is treated your body will be in better shape for your next baby.
AFM: Going to my GP tomorrow. I need to get my thyroid tested (It was overactive during my last pregnancy) and i might ask if i can get HCGs done. My pg symptoms are still pretty mild. I hope it's not a bad sign. Kind of excited though that i'm 5 wks tomorrow: it makes me feel that this is more than just a late AF and that i'm actually pg! I'm still terrified every time i go to the toilet that there is going to be blood. THankful for every day without bleeding. THanks to everyone who asked how i am going.
Bons- Good luck with TTC this cycle and hope you enjoy the time with your Mum
Minnie- It is ok to let out how you feel, you don't need to protect us from it, we are here to help you through this. We all need the help sometimes. :hugs:
Matthew's Mum- I hope you get some good news from the BTs
Reet- *Shout out to AF* "hurry up, your late" LOL. I hope you get that visit soon. I am really glad I managed to get my friend to take that vid, when I went in I let the Ob and midwives know that there was no way they were stopping me and thankfully my Ob was fully supportive of that (Dr Jose, WA) and I will be getting the next one recorded too and totally bugger it that we are not able to reproduce asexually lol.
Possum- Hoorah for the 5 week mark I am sure that each passing day will make it more real until you are holding that sweet little one in your arms.
AFM- I'm feeling really happy atm. I was looking at my FF Chart willing it to give me answers already and went looking around the rest of the page and found the part that takes you into further ananlysis and it turns out that if my temp does continue to rise tomorrow and Saturday then O day really was yesterday just like I thought it was going on my own normal non BBT signs I couldn't be happier right now and am very optomistic. Even if I don't catch this egg it at least confirms to me that I know my body at least most of the time and that works for me just fine.
Just a quickie - it's soo cold up here I can hardly type this morning.
Iona - sorry for the BFP but still got my fingers crossed for you.
Bons - hello lovely! Glad you are back - don't know what I'd do without my computer! Hope you can enjoy some girly time while your DH is away. Mine is going away for a week on Sunday. Don't mind as it's only a week but he's so good at keeping me on track with my diet and making me special bread that I'll be a bit sooky probably. Anyway, can watch all my fav. dvds that he's sick of seeing and spend as long as I like online so won't be too bad. I'm sort of lurking atm - have no fixed date on IVF for now as trying to get my body working before we try to increase our chances so trying to just enjoy things.
KitFaerie - are you lurking? How's everything going?? We miss you x
Dory - 98 days today? Sept is just around the corner...
Reet - thanks for asking after me, all going OK here, still have down days but trying to be more zen about it all. Sorry your DD is approaching too. Mine is 30 August and it feels like a stone in my heart atm - hope things are easier once it passes/
I know there was more I was going to type but it's slipped away...damn. Oh yeah - Loops! Great news about the tractor sale (hope that cash comes quickly) and I know it's hard to wait but you don't want to be stressed about money problems so maybe for the best and you can use that time to do other things. All the best.
To the new ladies here - I'm sorry for your losses. I know you'll find lots of support here and hope your TTC journies are short.
Sorry lovelies, that's all I"m up for today. Wishing you all the best,
possummagic-good luck at gp,be watching for your updates...damprye-good news....ionamacca-has the spotting continued?..alice-enjoy your movie/computer time..how is everyone else?..afm-thought i might get a transfer date today,but instead another bt,nurse said my levels are rising ,slowly.
Iona: interesting...very interesting! Still stalking you!
Alice: Hi! I don't like it when DH is away for long but definitely on the upside is control of the TV and dvd selection and unlimited internet access! Enjoy the girl viewing fest!
Damprye: Yeah, feels good when you realise that you know your body as well as any chart doesn't it?!
Mathewsmum: Gosh, these BTs must be testing your patience!
AFM: Saw GP. Had BT done for thyroid, HCG and other pregnancy screen stuff. Results next week. Had my 2yo with me. Hope she doesn't blab on me to anyone about what the visit was for! She's a bit of a talker!
Possum - good idea to have your thyroid levels checked and a sneaky HCG whilst you're there! Were you on meds for it last time? ( This will do your head in, but one of my cats has just been diagnosed with hyperthryroidism and vets give cats the same meds that humans get... there is a cat version but much more expensive apparently, I have been using gloves to tablet him as I've read there is some risk to me from the meds. LOL Got DH to tablet the cat today, and his first attempt at it wasn't too bad)
Mathew's Mum - is slowly rising still ok? Except it means another trip to pathology and no firm date.....Is Crafty in the long term TCC thread with ferals? I miss them. Might have to go stalk.
Dampyre - hope those health fod things do the tric.
Alice - 99 days is next week! Still in the 100's at the mo....Somebody pinch me, I never thought I could get this far. But thanks for remembering.
Bons - where does DH work? I was thinking Bamaga or Weipa, but that would be more than 600km right?
Have a good weekend girls... sorry to have missed anyone - it's not intentional.
ionamacca-are(when)you going to test again?..possummagic-bt's are frustrating,keeping big picture in mind though,got a phone call earlier this afternoon & have to go for another in the morning...dory-yes to both your ?'s
Dory - oh you'll be coming up to the third trimester soon!!
Possum - I know what you mean about our children blabbing, when I had the first scan I had DS with me as it was early on a monday morn so took him with me. he was going on all sunday and on the way to get the u/s that he wanted to see grandma, so we went over there afterwards....after I had tried to calm myself down with disappointment of there not being a heartbeat etc. Next thing he says we were at the drs, mum asked if it was for him or me, for mummy she has a sore belly. Mum just looked at me and I just broke down...kids gotta love them
damprye - yay on ff telling you that you may of 'o'ed, so glad that your body is getting back into the swing of things
Reet - hope the maca works for you
AFM: today has been an up and down day, this morn i was driving to my waxing appt, i just started crying not sure what about!! one thing could be that my bestie left for south africa today for 3 weeks and I'm going to miss her heaps....she's one of my rocks and whenever I'm having a difficult day, she is always there!! and I guess mark left this arvo to go to melb for the weekend so he's not back till tues. Well after I woke from my nap (yes another nanna nap this arvo), there was a lil of pink spotting but only when I wiped...not a lot tho. Just wish AF would put me out of my misery either show up or stop playing games with me!!
Hi Everyone
Alice - I cant imagine how hard it is to put IVF off indefinetly for the moment.....but im sure you are making the right decision for you and your DH, Part of me loves when DH goes away for those very reasons.....ahhh dvds, playing couch commando, reading sappy novels and unlimited internet the other part of me wants to cry everytime he is packing to go. How nice that your DH makes your bread, its kinda of a nice romantic gesture xxx
Dory - DH is a diesel mechanic in the Navy, so he has always spent time away, but now he is part of a boarding party that is ready to board foreign vessels, that makes me feel a bit uneasy, he does enjoy his job though....I really look forward to your updates, are you still on house arrest?
Mathews Mum - I hope your pathologist collector is nice, Its great that your results are slowly creeping up!
AFM - Had a big day creating garden beds, was nice to achieve something though.
xxx
Bons - it must be hard to have him away that often - we spend a fair bit of time apart just for logistical reasons (one of us often stays in Sydney for work) and I have teary moments but would be so much harder for long periods of time. We do lots of gardening (one of the joys of living up here) so understand the satisfaction of creating a garden bed! What are you going to grow in it?
Iona-Macca....a football friend right? My DH starts three weeks leave today! He's a nut - we've had the chart on the fridge for about two months and he has magazines etc. Very amusing! Sorry she is away but hope it goes quick and hope that you have a sneaky BFP lurking there.
Thanks Possum - I'm stalking you in the other thread
Alice - yep, her boyfriend got her into it....they went to the world cup 4 years ago as well and when she got home, I found out I was pregnant!! So hopefully the same will happen
I am sure that each passing day will make it more real until you are holding that sweet little one in your arms.
