hi all, ttcalovechild-good luck with this cycle,loved the pictures..ionamacca &possummagic-hope things are well with you guys..reet-good news,glad timing is much better for you this time aroound...forshelby-thanks...luna-hi,sorry for your losses,hope you get another bfp soon...kellbell-sorry about neg result...damprye-have you spoke to a dr???
still no AF - stupid body must mean i ovulated later than i thought think we might have missed our chance all together last month prob why i never got a positive ovulation test??
Reet yes send her here when shes finished with you
Feels like wasted time since she could have come and be almost gone by now!!!
My little girl is still sick poor thing - what a crummy week this is
Reet - OMG... yay for af!! She must have taken the long way to your house after she left mine, eh? LOL... so happy for you. I bet you never thought you'd be so happy to bleed. I'm super excited your plan is falling into place, too. DH will be there for all the important days.... woooh! I laughed so hard when I read you snuck the sperm-max pills to the depot with his harness, that's hilarious. I bet he got a chuckle out of it, too. FX you're pg by September, that 1 year milestone after a mc is such a hard one. I promise you though, if you aren't pg by then, you will get through it, and you will be ok. I found my first anniversary really tough since I wasn't even able to TTC because DP was so against it. Hell, I wasn't even allowed to mention TTC back then. I didn't dare. About the OPKs, I've only got 5 left so I think I'll take them starting tomorrow as normal, then not get any more. I'm hoping this month is the month anyway, so I won't need any more! I think it's cute you want to test at the same time, too. It's a deal. I'm definitely waiting until I'm late to test this time because that BFN was so depressing. You can be my week-behind-me-cycle-buddy. lol...
Damprye - I wish I had some idea of what to tell you about the random bleeding. It's always unsettling, but especially when TTC. I think a trip to the doctor might be in order, if for no reason other than to put your mind at ease.
Luna - WELCOME! So good to hear from another lurker. I'd love to hear more about your background, and your journey so far.
Kellie - I hope your DD gets better soon, caring for a sick child is rough! And I hope AF hurries up and arrives really soon so you can get back to business.. hehe
Iona - How are you honey? When are you going to see a doctor and have your bloods etc done? Are your symptoms increasing yet?
To everyone else I missed, hi and sorry I missed you!
AFM, cd11.... I've been not so subtly hinting that we should DTD tonight. (in the interest of fresh spermies for the bd bonanza) As a matter of fact, I'd better get ready for bed now. He says he's tired, and right now is sitting on the other lounge and saying random things trying to gauge the delay in my response to see if I'm listening. LOL... I think he needs some attention. But he's only going to get one kind of attention from me tonight Oh, and I'm enjoying a few drinks before the TWW starts and I'm banned again. I don't normally drink at all, but I figure as soon as I can't, I'll want to, so I'm getting it all out of the way now. My diabolical plan is all falling into place.
hi everyone, kellbell-how is your little girl today?..forshelby-fingers crossed everything goes to plan..minniemouse-how your day going ?..damprye-what's happening with spotting?..afm-waiting to hear what time transfer will be tomorrow ,got that nervous excitment thing going at the moment..
forshelby sounds like a great plan - fingers crossed it works perfectly
TTCALoveChild - they were beautiful pics of your family!!!
matthewsmum- how exciting for tommorow did you find out what time transfer is?
Reet - where did you get the sperm max? maybe i should get my partner on some
afm - yep shes better today getting back to her cheeky self and AF arrived today
it gives me the exact same date as my daughter was due i hope its an omen its just gotta be our month i just feel like is supposed to be - let the bonaza begin in about 7 days - i wont miss ovulation this month ill make him go till AF is due and he thought he was tired last month
Hi all - I have turned into a lurker rather than a poster these days... but I have been following your journeys. Just a few quick comments from me, and please just because I haven't mentioned you by name doesn't mean you are not in my thoughts and hopes.....
Mathew's Mum - hoping you've got your time for the transfer tomorrow - will have everything crossed for you. I am actually a wee bit excited.
Reet - awesome news about AF
Dampyre - poor blossom. Hope your body settles down and I hope you and DH come to some sort of peace in your relationship. Loss and tcc are very hard journey's and affect us, both men & women, in ways you least expect sometimes. They are not times we are usually operating at our best either - it's stressful and emotional whilst we struggle through. So don't be too hard on yourself, but also at the same time, don't let something fester and try to deal with it as soon as you notice it. Hugs.
Luna - welcome, sorry to hear about both of your losses, but you have come to a great place. I hope your stay here is short lived and you get to escape to a pregnacy thread very soon.
Kellbell - hope your little one starts to feel better soon.
TCCLAC - I loved the family holiday pics. The kids are all looking really good now ( as are you and Ron - give him my regards too). I like to hear from you, even though I know things are hectic for you.
AFM - all good here. Inching closer. Times flies but stands still. Have a good weekend all.
Matthews Mum - Good luck with your transfer tomorrow! I'm excited for you
Dory - Glad things are going well for you. I totally understand how time flies and yet stands still. Nice to hear from you again
Kellbell - So happy DD is starting to feel better. and yay for af!
AFM, I didn't get to bd last night... there's no getting DP in the mood when he's got his mind set against it. Damn! I'm hoping tonight isn't the same, or I'm going to have a very sad TWW. We only bd'd twice (I think) around O time last month and it obviously wasn't enough. Hopefully he'll be on board once I tell him IT'S TIME! Cm is starting to become slightly stretchy, so I know I have about 3-4 days to DTD as much as possible. It's times like this I wish he had a higher sex drive so I wouldn't have to beg!
Oh, and he's taken to calling BB the 'mother's club' lol. I think he's a wee bit jealous of how often I'm logging in to 'check on my girls', as I so lovingly call you all. He said by the time we have a baby it'll be born with a laptop. Maybe if he gets jealous I'll tell him I know a great way to get me off the computer... like sex! Haha. FX he doesn't do his usual Friday night drink-athon and is up for some wink wink nudge nudge.
Take care everyone, hope you all have a great weekend.
Forshelby - ha, men can be so stubborn. When they can't have it all they think about is having it, but when it's offered up, sometimes it's just all too much bother, even when not tcc.... they are more fickle than we give them credit for. Hope that tonight it works out for you and you are telling fantastic stories about your antics tonight.
forshelby, DP is the same here...I've worked out by saying if you want to help make this baby you better get your gear off now or it's another month!! as the I found having the converstion thaat we need to bd this time goes in one ear and out the other...hehe
let the bd bonanza begin lol....i think i bd cd 12, 14 & 15
matthew's mum - wishing you all the best for tomorrow, hoping the transfer is a success
hi to everyone else, sorry I should really be studying but mind is another place
AFM - had bloods done to check for hcg levels as had brown discharge, some blood and lower back pain yesterday.....the wait is killing me for my dr to ring!!! I just want to know now if they are where they're suppose to be or not...grrr
talk to you girls later
xoxoxo
UPDATE: my hcg levels are at 14....not great but that's saying I'm pregnant.. see how the weekend goes and go for more bloods on monday. the only time i have had blood today was just now when i went to the toilet!! oh the uncertainity is killing me

Oh Iona- thinking of u.. u poor thing having to get thru the weekend. FX everything is fine. Im not too sure about hcg levels.. what shld they be at for how far along u are??
Good luck and yes try and relax over the weekend, altho that will drive ur mind a lot more crazy.. just cant win! Thinking of u xx
Kellbell- I bought it from a health shop at a shopping centre.. apparently it has only been on the market for a week or 2.. i had about 3 different types of remedies in my hand and asked the fella working there what he recommended and he said defintely the sperm max. It was $69.95 for 60 pills so rather expensive.. but hey i have spent so much money going to gyno appointments ect... really wats the difference!!
Forshelby- I cant even begin to imagine what it wld be like for my dh not to be interested.. i dont think its ever happened once in the whole 5 years we have been together.. there have been so so so many times i have wished he didnt have any sex drive! I basically have none.. so its always like a chore for me.. i like it 'Wam bam thanku mam' style! haha. I know wat u shld do!! Drug him with horny goat weed!!!! hahaha wat a fantastic idea!!! just secretly hide it in food or something! it wld be hilarious!!! Im thinking i might try the same Dare u too!!! Jst do it around 'o' time.. he wldnt know wat hit him!!!
Ttcalovechild- Love ur pics as well.. u sound like u have such a hectic life.. wonder woman!!
Hi Dory- Lovely to hear from u xxx
Matthews mum- Oh its sat tomoro.. yay!!!! I hope everything goes brilliantly! pls keep us posted! there will be a lot of ppl waiting to hear all about it! Good luck
AFM- AF has slowed down a bit.. thank goodness! Im ready to start on the clomid on sunday.. woohoo!! Which reminds me I must go and buy it from the chemist tomoro in preparation! DH gets back tomoro arvo just for the nite.. poor bugger not being able to bd.. well i guess the shower is always an option.. depends how desperate he is for it! The sperm max might be kicking in and getting his sex drive in OVERDRIVE! I hope u all have a fantastic weekend! xxx
Good luck to the ladies coming up to O day, tire those men out
Matthew's Mum- Woohoo I hope tomorrow goes well for you
Iona- Sending you lots of sticky vibes.
To everyone- thank you for the advice it really helps
AFM- Things are still a bit finicky with DP but right now I am just trying to destress so we are having a little break from each other, my decision.
The spotting the other night got worse and I went to see my doc and he sent me for a blood test to check all my levels. I should get at least some sort of answer tomorrow Definately not looking getting my hopes up for a BFP because with everything going on lately I doubt there is any possibility Carrying on with my charting though, this month will be my first full month of charting I think I want to get a proper BBT thermometer for next month though. Also started taking vitamin C tablets after speaking with a nutritionist. If nothing else it should at least perk up my immune system
Iona - Hmm, I might have to try that approach! I can picture it now. "YOU! PANTS! OFF! NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" lol. I don't know a whole lot about HCG levels, except that they can vary greatly and still be normal. What matters is whether they're increasing as they should. When I had my mc my levels were at 3900 and falling. That was at just over 7 weeks pg. Within 2 weeks they were back to zero. I'll never forget what the nurse said to me. "For what it's worth, your body did a good job of miscarrying." At first I thought it was horrible, but really, it was the truth. I didn't have to suffer (physically) for an extended period of time, and a d&c wasn't neccesary. At the time I failed to see how lucky I really was. Anyway, enough about me. I hope this weekend flys by for you and before you know it the doctors will be telling you your numbers are up over the 100 mark. No more strenuous exercise, okay? Be a good girl and sit on the couch surfing the net like I do... lol
Reet - LMAO at your horny goat weed comment. What the heck is that anyway? LOL... I burst out laughing when I read it and then had to explain to DP why I was laughing. His response was "WHAT DID YOU TELL THEM?!" lol........ omg. I hope he doesn't develop a complex about it all. I just told him the next couple of days are our 'golden opportunity'. So now it's out there! And yet his pants are still on. *chuckle* I don't think I'll get my way tonight, but as long as I get in a few good rounds between tomorrow and Monday, that should be enough. Ugh, I hope it's enough. I just might have to bust out that lingerie tomorrow. Perhaps greet him when he finishes work in some kind of crazy costume? Once I beat him home from work, and greeted him with nothing more than a very long length of red ribbon wrapped (rather stylishly I might add) around myself, covering all the good bits. The look on his face was priceless. And his answer was "leave it on". Hahaha.... we didn't end up DTD but it sure was fun to surprise him with some naughtiness. I highly reccomend the ribbon trick to you all. Good luck with your round of clomid, and with the shower! Cheeky girl you are... lol
Damprye - I wish things were easier for you right now. Yay for your charting efforts though, you're doing well! I hope things with DP sort themselves out really soon. Big hugs for you, hun. Has the bleeding stopped yet? I'm glad you went to see the doctor. Keep us posted on the results of the bt's.
AFM, getting ready to stuff some toilet paper in my ears and go to sleep. Lol.... the short answer to all your 'wtf's' is this. Alcohol + extremely tired DP = loud snoring. Multiply by snuggling cat and divided by dog. I realise earplugs would be a good solution, but who could be bothered when there's perfectly good toilet paper right there in the ensuite?? I guess paper towel would work just as well. Or Blu-tak? Feel free to experiment a little should you try this one at home.
you are making me laugh with all your naughty talk lol
Forshelby: i hope you have some luck convincing DP for a few attempts over the weekend ! and good luck sleeping tonight with the snoring !
Mattewsmum: good luck for the transfer tomorrow im sending you lots of positive thoughts
Reet: yay for af arriving and good luck with the clomid, both my children were conceived on clomid, both on the 1st attempt !
Iona: i hope the bleeding settles down for you and monday brings you some good news with your next lot of hcg's done
Dory: i came across your ticker in another forum, things are looking great for you, although im sure you are still highly anxious, big hugs for you
Damprye: sorry you are still having problems with your partner, i hope the bleeding and your problems with him settle down
afm: im glad this week is over, my DD is going well, her eye is bruised and it breaks my heart to see her with stiiches in her eyelid but i went and got her some good cream for when the stitches come out to try and reduce the scar as much as possible. still haven't had any contact with any of my family, it is hurting less now, it just feels ridiculous and unbeleivable that they could just treat me like this. the worst part is my DD keeps asking if they are still upset and angry at me (didn't know what else to tell her, she is used to seeing them every week), she misses them but i just don't know i can forgive and forget and let the kids see them.
i had initially thought i would put off ttc for a bit given the huge amount of stress i have been under lately but now im thinking we might get going again as soon as i have seen the specialist next month (assuming all the blood tests are normal)
Forshelby- U serious u have never heard of horny goat weed??!!! haha well that makes me feel silly! i thought everyone wld have! has anyone heard of it??! Im pretty sure u can get it at woolies and stuff.. i dont know how good it is.. but ive been tempted to use it! theres one for girls and one for guys. Give it to ur dp!! Imagine the sausage sizzle!! Haha funny that u told him why u were laughing.. he will be all paranoid now.. but i guess atleast he might think about his actions from now on!! Just wake him up in the morning.. get to him before he has a chance to wake up properly!! U can do it!!!! xx oh and maybe the couch wld be a better option for ur sleeping arrangements tonight?!! it all sounds a bit crazy! dog..cat..snoring..!! haha oh how i sometimes love living the single life.. my bed all to myself.. oh well except for my puppy.. nite nite x
Minniemouse- Sorry to hear ur family problems arent any closer to being resolved. I think u shld jump on the bandwagon with us and get crazy with the whole ttc thing!! Show ur family that u dont really care what they think cos its YOUR life! Show them that u cldnt be happier.. maybe they will realise that this is something u really do want. xx
Glad someone has heard of it!! thanks damprye!! i hope ur blood tests come back ok.. maybe a break is what u need from ur dp.. make u both realize what u have. Thinking of u x

I'm super excited your plan is falling into place, too. DH will be there for all the important days.... woooh!

DP used it for a while and it was AWESOME, he could actually keep up with me
