Frostie didn't stick - just got the BT result over the phone Even though I suspected I feel so sad. Couldn't sleep last night as was thinking that there was a good chance I was pregnant but the spotting this morning destroyed those hopes. Have been crying a bit at work - hoping no one comes into office. I am trying to be positive though and looks likely we can go for another one this month providing AF comes properly in next week (otherwise have to wait till 2009 as labs shut for xmas) - so now bring on AF please!
Sorry for selfish post - it is so hard sometimes to stay positive
babymiracles--Aww, d@mn.... so sorry, hon! Going to switch gears now and send some AF vibes your way! And, hey... you can't be positive all the time--we all have our down days! It doesn't mean you're being selfish. We ALL know that disappointment all too well. Big hugs....
so sorry to hear your news Babymiracles - big hugs to you....can I say congratulations though on the engagement!
Toccara - YAY!!! we are going to be belly buddies thats fantastic!!! my bub is only 12 days old cause I'm only 12dpo so waiting til this weekend to do another test and to book my appointment with the OB for bloods to be done.
Can't write too much am at work and was just lurking and just had to post....
Hello Ladies,
Oh my so much to catch up. I've just been back reading.
Sorry been MIA. Have been so busy with work and organising my little DS bday party. He was 2 last thursday and we had family and friends over for his party saturday and only just recovering from it all.
Toccara and Mannie- Congratulations!!!! Sending u both lots of
Babymiracles- AF shows up. And also congratulations on engagement. There's always something to be positive about.
TY- Welcome, sorry for ur loss. I haven't been here all that long but ur in the right place as all the ladies here are wonderful and are great support.
Ruthie- Hope things are looking up for you, u've had a bit of a rough time.
Me, well not alot to report. AF showed up on the 14th (5 weeks after D&C) at least i think it was AF TMI coming up. It wasn't a normal period for me it was a browny colour discharge and there wasn't much. It lasted about 4 days. Usually i'm heavy and its red. I see the OB on friday am so will ask him. So providing it was AF i should be O in the next couple of days. Might try OPKs i've got there.
Will try not to be a stranger and keep up to date with everyone.
Ok, time for persies. Let's hope my computer doesn't crash again!
HannahD - looks like we are TWW buddies! I o'd earlier this cycle so I was half way through the first week before I knew which was nice. It never gets any easier though! Hoping it ends in a us both. Thanks for letting me know you have been having cramping as well. Ever since the m/c I panic every time I get a cramp or back pain, even when I know I can't be pregnant.
Babymiracles - so sorry to hear your news. I hope AF comes quickly so you can get back on the TTC wagon. Congrats on your engagement - that's something to celebrate! Don't ever apologise for sending a post about how you are feeling, that's what we are here for! You are not being selfish, if we can't be honest about how we are feeling in this thread then where can we!
Toccara & Mannie - Big Congratulations!
Mannie, you are doing so well to keep it from DH, I would be hopeless!
TY - Welcome. Sorry you've had to join us but you have certainly come to the right place for support. I hope your TTC journey is short.
Jen - Thanks, I really hope I am but ever since the m/c I have had cramps at various times during my cycle and it has never ended in pg so I am not getting my hopes up. Good luck with the Christmas shopping! I love this time of year but hate how busy the shops get!
Megsmum - Thanks for the well wishes. for good news on your BT
Smi - sorry to hear you have Lupus. It runs in my family so I have quite a few family members with it. It's not nice at all. I am actually being tested for it myself as I have some symptoms plus having difficulty conceiving. Hope you start to feel better soon.
Ruthie - I so feel for you hun. I have had gallstones so I completely understand your pain. I really hope the next few weeks of 2008 go quickly for you so you can start 2009 afresh. I it is a good year for you and DH. You guys deserve some happiness.
to Mollycat, fifi, plc1805, angel, milla, dellydoo, WTH, kristylove, tutmae and anyone I have missed (I'm sure I had a bigger list last night?).
AFM - Well my cramps and pain I was having this morning subsided after taking some panadol. It was more tender around my ovaries than actual cramping. I haven't really had any since. Just a few cramps but that is normal for me. I have sore bbs and heartburn but once again it happens at this time most cycles. Have absolutely nothing to go on. My temp has been below the coverline for the last 2 days which is unusual for me.
I went for my BT yesterday to see if I was ovulating, will probably wait to get the results at my next FS appointment. I have to go for another test to check for Lupus and a few other things so we'll see how we go.
If the BT don't bring any answers I have the option of going in for a laparoscopy to see if I have endo.....(sp?) but although I have a few symptoms I don't really have heavy periods so I don't think I have it. One step at a time I guess.
Anyway better go, apologies for such a long post. I didn't realise until I previewed it.
babymiracles - Congratulations on your engagement! I'm so sorry it didn't happen for you this cycle. Sending you lots of AF vibes (heaven knows I don't want them lol) so that you can try again this year.
mollycat, megsmum and jen - Thanks for the support. I have my for the all of you. Goodluck with the upcoming BT results megsmum.
princess - with the OB on Friday.
Mel - TWW wait buddy! I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I've also had a lot more cramps and twinges since my m/c. It drives me nuts not knowing what they are. Now I'm driving DH nuts 'cause I want the wait to be over, but its too early to test. This TWW would have been so much easier without all the extra twinges - its a lot more even by post m/c standards. we have embryos burrowing in nice and snugly. Goodluck with the BT results.
I know, I drive myself (and DH!) crazy every month hoping and wondering if every twinge I feel is implantation or a little baby growing. I don't know why I torture myself, every month I am disappointed
I know, I need to think positive thoughts. The TWW would be so much easier if I didn't have cramps to make me wonder. I'm happy to know I'm not the only one who has been having them each cycle since the m/c.
When are you due to test? I am due on the 2/12 so another week to wait yet. Only if AF doesn't show up first, I so hope she doesn't!
Really hoping for an early Christmas present for both of us!!!
Toccara - OMG!!! Yayayayayayayay! Sending loads of your way... and wishing you a happy and healthy pg
Mannie - Yay as well! You are so strong on holding out until the weekend to poas again... wishing you all the best hun
megsmum - thinking of you in the lead up to fridays bt x a million
Jen - you're back!! Great to see you sharing the jen-love once again You are great at being a (storm) trooper for everyone - I hope you are doing ok in yourself too...
afm - the Zen of Jen has been pretty much chucked out the window in the last week! I've found it pretty hard being remotely sensible as I'm at the stage that I'd lost my 2 angels. Thankfully have had 2 reassuring scans last Friday and yesterday at my ob appt - yesterday's was amazing with arms and legs waving everywhere. Little bean wouldn't hold still long enough to get measured! I have another "Chill out Jen" scan in a week's time, followed by the nt scan on 12 Dec. And then I will ...... breathe out .....
Loads and loads of love and for all of you lovelies

Tocarra - wow, that is fabulous news - Congratulations!!!
Big hello everyone, hope you are all doing ok. Big Hugs to my wonderful friends and big hello & welcome to any newbies. Sorry to see newbies in here & hope your time in here is short lived. This thread offers fantastic support!!!
Just a little update on me - 8.5 weeks to go now. Had a bit of a scare on the weekend though with a bleed, Bub and I are both ok but it scared me. I spent Fri night in hospital so they could monitor Bub (who kept me amused by kicking the thingy strapped to my tummy that was trying to monitor his/her hb). Bleeding has stopped and Ob gave me thorough examination on Sat & Mon and has assigned me to rest at home so have started mat leave 4 weeks early. But if I have another bleed I have to go straight to hospital & stay there until Bub is ready. My placenta, although low, isn't low enough to warrant a caesar so I'll be trying for a vaginal birth - somehow I think it will be sooner rather than later but will keep you all posted. Ob just wants to see me get to 34 weeks then he'll breathe a sigh of relief and deliver Bub whenever Bub is ready or my body has had enough. Anyway, enough about me. Just wanted to drop by and let you know I am thinking of you all the time. There is plenty of room in paml so hoping to see you all there soon.
Good morning! This is going to be a quick one for me. Have lots of housework to do before we pick up my step daughters for the Thanksgiving holiday, so will have to try to come back later for persies.
Just wanted you all to know that I'm thinking of you and you're all always in my
