Just dropping in to say how sorry I am to hear of Ionas BT results and blood loss I do hope you manage to hang on in there but I guess we all know how things can change in a few days ! Keep in touch and be strong !
Matthews mum well a few days of your TWW are gone now hope your doing ok, sounds lovely the white tulips !
Dory so glad your still around ! your weeks are ticking by now your on the last lap so FX all is well with you and glad you had the chance of some piece and tranquility in your memorial garden,
Bons hope your DH manages to get home to DTD on the big O day FX for you, Hows your mum doing ?
AFM well had an apt with FS last week and well didn't go too well as I have been told I have 1% chance of falling pg every month due to my age and if I go down the IUI and clomid route I can spend lots of dollars to increase my chance by another 1% so I decided to forget it, I will continue to DTD on the middle of my cycle and hope and pray I get a good egg one day and a BFP but next April when I turn 46 if I am not UTD I will be throwing in the towel ! so heres to the next 10 mnths of trying !!!
Murraycod hope all is well with your scan I know youv'e had a tough time of it lately with the cramping but you not lost anything have you ? ( I mean discharge or blood ) so thats good news right !!!
Mathews Mum - that is a lovely idea about the painting! How is everything else going with you?
Minniemouse - Sometimes with family, as hard as it is, its better to cut your losses.....if they arent supportive towards you, maybe its better if they arent in your life.I treat my close friends like family, we even do an early christmas before everyone leaves for holidays....
Reet - Im not sure what your Dh does for a job but I (and a lot of other Defence wives) find i pick a fight with my DH before he leaves, its easier when he leaves that way, silly I know, xxx
Crafty - It must have been hard hearing those percentages....I will keep my fingers crossed for you! Mum is doing well, she has decided to stop ttc for now, they are buying a house and cant afford for her to have more time off work, my little sister is living proof that miracles do happen though! Mum didnt think she was even ovulateing and her DP had had chemo so thought there were no swimmers left! xxx
Iona xxxxx
Dampyre, Reet, Kellbell, Hope you are all doing well!
Murraycod -How are you today hun? I hope it has been the perfect day we were all wishing for you!
AFM - DH will be home on friday afternoon, then back to work for all of saturday , so im hoping he will be in the mood to DTD, might even have to break the massage oil out, I have started saliva testing, so im hoping that will help me out with which day !
sorry I've been MIA but have had exams late yesterday arvo and this morn so really haven't been able to get on here.
News for me is that yep - I'm back in here...seems to of been a chemical pregnancy where the egg didn't implant so back on the drawing board
Thanks for all your support over the last few days, you girls are awesome!!
Murray - been thinking of you all day, I hope everything is ok and sorry I didn't get on here earlier to wish you well for your scan. Thinking of you babe xoxoxo
crafty - that 1% is still a chance, good luck and let's hope that next year doesn't come that quick
bons - hoping DH is up for some when he gets home....I find DF always is if he has been away
forshelby - I tried replying to your PM but your inbox is full hehehe, hope that bonanza is under way!!
As for everyone else, sorry can't go back that far (ie...too tired lovelies, sorry), I am thinking of you all ahd those that are in the TWW keeping everything crossed for you, those that are about to 'o' get that BD bonanza started hehehe
AFM: well not much to report going to try and temp this cycle...and am also taking Vit b6 just to lengthen my luteal phase a bit more as it only seems to be 11/12 days
Oh Iona.... I'm so sorry. Nature is cruel. How are you doing? How is DF handling it? You're so strong to be able to do your exams and continue on in the midst of all of this. Amazing. I might start temping with you if I'm not pg this month. Yay for that. I'll be sure to empty out that inbox, too, just in case you want to talk, or vent, or whatever.
Damprye - I hope this month IS the one. As I said above, definitely thinking about getting a bbt themometer of my own. It must be so frustrating that they keep jerking you around with your bt results. I hope they get their act together soon and tell you what's going on!
Reet - LOL that song is stuck in my head now. Thanks. not... Read below to hear about my surprising turn of events. (that sounded like a tv commercial for an upcoming show.. lol)
Minnie - I think you need to talk to your family. I stand by what I said before. Without communication there's no hope for a resolution. Sadly they aren't going to realize on their own how much they've hurt you, so you've got to take control of the situation. Sorry if that sounded judgemental, it's just my opinion. If the lines of communication can't be opened, well then maybe it is time to cut your losses. I'm so sorry. I wish this wasn't happening to you. *hugs* Please try to talk to your mum though, I really think it's the only way.
AFM, shock horror, I got a + OPK today! Wtf? lol. DP caught me grimacing this morning and asked me what was wrong. I told him my bbs were sore, and he looked alarmed and said 'WHY?' my response? 'I think I'm laying an egg' He chuckled, and I told him I hoped he'd be in a sexy mood tonight. I was surprised by the + though, I was pretty sure I missed my surge. So I'm assuming O day is today or tomorrow. I hope DP isn't too cranky after work today. Work seems to squish his libido. He just gets so worked up and angry at the way he winds up doing overtime EVERY day and the other drivers are sent home early. I hate it too, especially now we're TTC. It just isn't exactly going to facilitate romance. Bah!
Sorry to anyone I missed, as usual. I'm so tired after work today, blech.
Craftymummy - Sorry about those odds, I hope you get a BFP in the next 10 months. That would be so lovely.. then you could say to the doctors 'HA! I DID IT!'
Iona so sorry to hear of your news, I have had that happen a few times to me before and I now prefer to wait until I am a week late before testing so I never know if its a chem preg again, saying that its not easy to not test when TTC but its so sad when you get your hopes up and something like that happens, life is hard at times but I do feel it makes us stronger people in the end, how ever bizarre, that seems to be the reason I give it anyway, Hopefully it won't be too long before you get yourself a good BFP I know sunbeam has had quite a few pg that ended quite early and she keeps going and has infact got herself a BFP at the moment so despite the disapointment some good news was to follow ! so FX for you in the next few months,
By the way thanks for reminding me 1% is still a chance what it really means is out of 100 45yr old women trying to get pg only 1 will actually conceive in any one month ( so I am banking on not that many are as mad as me and trying anyway so the percentages have not been tried out in reality ! ) lol makes me feel better thinking of it in that way !
Murraycod hope your ok !
Bons FX for a raunchy weekend and tell your mum there is hope for us oldies yet however small !
Forshelby- that truly is bizarre! U need to make a ticker so we can follow where u are/or are meant to be in ur cycle! altho it doesnt seem it wld have been much help this month Thats excellent.. atleast u still have time to get a few bd in now! Hopefully dp isnt too tired from work.
Happy Bd'ing!!!
Iona- So sorry to hear i dont think ill be wanting to test early ever again.. i think sometimes its better off not knowing. I hope u have held up ok.. like forshelby said.. i cant believe u are still doing exams etc.. i think i wld be in bed not wanting to do anything or see anyone! Stay strong.. we will all get there soon! xxx
Crafty- I think u still have a chance to fall pg.. u always hear of stories of over 50's falling pg.. so u still have a few yrs left in u! Where do they even get those percentages from anyway.. i wldnt listen to it. And why cant u use clomid?? Apparently it helps more follicles to develop so there is more chance of a good egg being released and fertilised. It wldnt be an expensive option either.. only like $25 for 2 months. I reckon u shld give it a go!!
Murraycod- Please hurry up and tell us how it went today! Im dying to know! I've been.. along with lots of others.. checking in all day! i check 1 forum..then the next..then the next!! I hope everything went perfectly xxx
Minnie- yeah i agree with forshelby.. confrontation is the best.. a lot of the time things get blown way out of proportion because there is no communication. Once u front up to ur mum things might get a little less complicated.. listen to her side and then explain to her where ur coming from. It shld really be her coming to u first, but if she wont, then u be the bigger woman and go and see her! Good luck
Bons- My dh works on satellite towers so he travels all over QLD and NT.. 3-4 weeks away, 1 week home. He has actually said that to me before.. that he tries to pick arguments cos its always easier to leave me then. I cant stand it tho! U can be so angry but the second there gone u regret it and miss them and just want to give them a big hug! I think its hard being with someone that works away cos i know i get so used to living by myself and almost become selfish.. i love not having to cook or clean everyday.. or talk to anyone.. and then wen he gets home u have to communicate and basically revolve ur life around them! Theres also so much emphasise on having a happy and great time together when they are home that it almost makes an argument start! IYKWIM??! U probly dont tho!! haha. Anyway overall i love him dearly.. no1 said marriage wld be easy!!
Damprye- Get results this arvo??
AFM- Nothing exciting to report here.. im still feeling like crap.. and the weather is windy and rainy still.. not the best when ur home alone and feeling sad!
I have starting having a tblsp of Enliven everyday.. its a probiotic.. has heaps of weird stuff in it.. all natural, it helps to prevent thrush and just basically keep u healthy and make ur immune system stronger.. i really really dont want any unexpected bouts of thrush or sickness when im about to lay my egg! (haha forshelby..love it!)
Reet - I do know what you mean! I enjoy being selfish when DH isnt here, thats why im online now hehe! it is hard adjusting to them coming home, i just get settled into a routine and he is home.....but I do absolutely adore him (just maybe not the Navy). Hope you arent as teary today xxx
Just read in the other thread that Murraycod had a great scan!!! SO SO SO Happy for you and Mr Cod! xxxx
Ok, so I can take a deep breath and relax finally after my scan, all wen't great! I got to hear the heart beat (which made me cry!!) 180bpm!! And measuring a perfect 12mm!! AGot some cute li'l pictures too!! I rekon if I had of asked my DH to buy me a Chrisler Station Wagon today, he would have got it for me!!!! ( I setled for spending up in a fancy kitchen shop instead LOL)
Bons, you truly are a sweetheart you know that?? XX
Reet, laying eggs hey!?! Who was it that was using eggs 'down there' for lube a while ago??? I forgot who it was, mabey THopes, not sure, but it still makes me LMAO !!!
Crafty, thanks for the little pep talk you gave me, you know I love you so much?!? I hope you are doing well my english lassie XX
Iona, honey I hope you are doing ok, and hope you do well with your exams X You have a lot on you plate ATM, you are a strong girl for getting out of bed every day and keeping your study up XXX MWAH X
Forshelby, it's totally unfair how all this TTC and stress plays havoc on the sex life. Mine is now extinct!! Poor DH, one minute I was like, we have to do it tonight regardless, next it was, nope we are not allowed because of the EPU or the IUI timing, now it's NO WAY get away from me and if you touch my boobs, I will cut 'it'off when you fall asleep. LOL !!!
If I get randy, it makes me cramp, so avoiding all things romantic and sexy!!! Go the flannie PJ's and nanna nickers!!!!
Dampyre have you got your results yet hun?? XX
Everyone I missed, love to you all. Thanks for your support it means so much X I am so used to being the one to so easily give support and encouragement, I'm not used to being so hormonal and unsure of myself!! Thanks girls for putting up with me lately. Love you all XXXX

: removed sig, sorry X
Murrycod- Congrats on the perfect bubba and the nice strong HB looks like this ones for keeps
Reet- good luck catching that eggy.
Crafty- A chance is a chance, hang in there love
ForShelby- FX for BD tonight.
Iona- So sorry hun.
AFM- I got my results. Well I'm not UTD. My hcg level was 6. I knew that it was what I expected but I cannot help but feel extremely dissappointed, my doc had gotten my hopes up a bit but nope, I even tried to tell myself that yesterdays temperature drop was just a one off but today it was still down.
I am young, there another months I guess.
bons-i'm counting down the days to bt already not due till the 30th,no spotting or bleeding yet like there was last transfer,trying to be positive.Massage sounds like a plan...crafty-thanks...ionamacca-sorry your going through such heartbreak again....forshelby-hope you have a successful night...murraycod-wonderful news,just wonderful,thanks for letting us know....reet-hope you feel better soon.
damprye-sorry, missed your post,and sorry the results weren't positive.it is so easy to get our hopes up when we want something so much .'try for july'
Another Hooray for Murray COd! (Already cheered you in the other thread lol!)
Mathewsmum: That's great so far so good!
Craftymummy: I'm sorry you did not get more help from the FS but it sounds like he treated you with respect and i'm glad of that. I hope you take your 1% and run with it! Best of luck for the next 10mths (less!) of trying.
Damprye: Very sorry your results were not more positive.
Iona: I'm so sorry you lost your pg. Hope you are resting up and someone is spoiling you a bit.
Reet, Forshelby, Bons Good luck with the egg catching in the next few days!
AFM: Had quite a scare. I had cramping all day yesterday then started bleeding last night. Bleeding stopped overnight and I went for a scan today. Dr thinks it was a twin pregnancy and i lost the 2nd twin. Baby number one is still there however with a good heart beat for 6wks3days. I really hope this is it for scares for the rest of the pregnancy!

Reet - Yeah, the OPK was a bit strange. I wonder if being so busy on the weekend stalled my O a bit. Sorry you're feeling crappy and sad. And I'm glad you're taking something to keep you healthy and strong for egg laying... lol
Murraycod- I'm so happy for you! What wonderful news. And you got kitchen stuff as well, what a bonus. LOL@ the flannies and nanna nickers.... I'm also glad I'm not the only one who feels a bit mixed up sometimes with all the TTC business. I totally understand the 'touch my boobs and I'll kill you' feeling, too. lol.. when I was pg the first time I remember giving DP the death stare on more than one occasion for even considering touching my bbs.
Damprye - Sorry you aren't UTD, it's okay to feel upset. There are LOTS of months for you, you're absolutely right. But that doesn't change the fact that you want it right now! I understand the feeling. I sort of feel a sense of urgency since DP said he didn't want to be an old dad, and he's 7 years older than me, so it definitely gives me less time despite my age. Chin up, hun... I hope things are getting better for you. How is your DP going?
Matthews mum - Thanks for your well wishes . Things are looking positive for you, I really hope that BFP is just around the corner!
Possum - That must have been so frightening. I'm thrilled the bleeding has stopped and your scan was ok. Sorry about the loss of a twin, that must give you such mixed emotions. I'm starting to think twin pgs where one is lost are more common than people realize. And I'm with you. No more scares for the rest of this pg! You tell that little bubba he/she is grounded for making you worry.
AFM, Had a great day today. Mostly because of the way it started out. Unfortunately I didn't get any bd last night as DP was super cranky after a long day at work. However.... *drumroll* After having a dream that we had a quickie before work, he treated me to breakfast in bed this morning. Of the sausage variety.... iykwim. I was so surprised! (and freaked out about the dream) We rarely DTD in the morning, and I think we've only ever done it once before work. Naturally I jumped at the chance. I didn't get to stay on my back for more than 10 minutes before I had to get up and get ready for work or risk being late. Ah well, hopefully it was enough. I'm so so grateful that he made the effort to sneak one in before 'the window' closed. And here I was feeling depressed as I went to sleep last night thinking he didn't want this as much as me. I'm silly.
Also, I got another +OPK this morning, but cm has dried up now (I had a tiny bit of ewcm last night), and cramping etc is a lot less. Boobies are tender and tingly, so I'm assuming I O'ed today sometime. PERFECT timing. If I go by my first OPK, that means I O'ed practically right at the moment of DTD. Yay!
Anyway, sorry about all the me-ness, I'm just surprised and excited. I went from feeling like there was no hope, to being totally excited and very hopeful that this month might actually be the one!
Hi to anyone I missed in my persies, and g/l to everyone else egg hunting.
Yah forshelby! sounds perfect - when are you going to test? do you test early or wait. Hope the tww wait goes really fast!
Possum magic sorry to hear about your little twin - hope your other bubba stays strong and the rest of your preg is smooth sailing
Matthews mum hope your bubba is snuggling in tight - each day bring you closer and closer!
Dampyre - sorry to hear about your results yes you have plenty of time but still you wish it was now. that is it me too. we want to be growing our babies NOW not having to wait. i wish i could see into the future so i knew which month was going to work!
Yah Murraycod - what a strong bubba you have there thats an awesome heartbeat
Reet my cycle buddy - you must be getting close to the BD bonanza!!!! im right behind you already thinking of ways to get my DP in the mood not that it takes much here
Sorry to everyone i have missed
afm - Ordered my thermometer from BB - yah now hanging out for the mail
AF is gone - i hope she dosent come back for about 18 months that would be nice!
, xxx
, so im hoping he will be in the mood to DTD, might even have to break the massage oil out
, I have started saliva testing, so im hoping that will help me out with which day !
so back on the drawing board
Read below to hear about my surprising turn of events. (that sounded like a tv commercial for an upcoming show.. lol)
I'm silly.
