Hey girls thanks for all the stickyvibes and love me and bub are doing very well so far I'm so hard that my lil bub sticks this time !!! talk to you all later :hugs:
Just a quick one for Jen yeah it was a shock to me because I didn't think I would fall pg this soon when I went and took the blood test I didn't even think I was pg but I'm happy and I think this may be the one I feel a lot different this time around and I'm trying to stay positive ...
toccara - just a quick one...Can I ask what your HCG level was? I know that no two women have the same but just at this early stage I find reassurance when I finally go and get my BT next week that Im on the right track.
sorry girls no time for persies at the moment....am 14DPO and still high temps and its looking good, doing another pg test on Saturday...its so hard to hold out. Have doc appt next Thurs 4th to get Bloods done...
love you girlies and thanks for the stickyvibes I really need them this time...hopefully its 3rd time lucky! xxx
Mannie - That all sounds good! for you and all the best for your drs visit next week.
Toccara - for you and your little one!
Possums - I replied to you in the LTTTC TWW thread, but so sorry again about AF Stupid witch, you'd think she'd know that she's not wanted!
Jen and smi - Have a lovely Thanksgiving ladies!
AJC - Goodness me! Make sure you take it easy OK?
fifi - Yay for kicks! And GL for your 20 wk scan as well.
TY - Sorry can't help much with the tummy pain, I had a D&C and never had much pain after it. I would call your dr if you are worried at all.
Mel1979 - Sorry to hear you are not feeling that positive Unfortunately I know only too well how it feels! After this long I don't get my hopes up too much anymore either, it makes it a little easier (not much!!) to cope with the disappointment. Am hoping that you are wrong though and that this is the one!
babymiracles, jenushka, HannahD and everyone else - Thanks so much for the well wishes
And a big hi to anyone that I have missed - mollycat, buliej, Indy, princess85 - hoping I haven't missed anyone!
AFM - Am expecting AF today and as yet she still hasn't shown. Not getting my hopes up yet though, she could still show today or tomorrow morning. Anyway am off to the clinic for my BT and a visit to the FS at lunchtime tomorrow, so hopefully should have an answer either way late tomorrow afternoon. Will let you all know a soon as I can what happens!
Apologies in advance for this negative post. I am sitting here in tears but I really need to talk.
I just rang my FS for my results to see if I was ovulating and apparently I didn't ovulate this month. Well, that's put all the temperature crap out the window since I had a temp rise on CD13. I am so upset and disappointed. I really hoped it would be this month. I don't understand how you can ovulate one month and not another. I had to try so hard not to cry over the phone to the nurse. It's just not fair.
Does anyone know what this means? Is it just a matter of going on Clomid?
I have to wait 2 weeks to go back to the FS to get any answers. I also have adrenal deficiency which is linked to auto immune diseases which I think isn't helping.
I just feel like I am letting DH down (I know he would never think that, he is so loving and supportive). He would make such a great father and it breaks my heart I haven't been able to give him a child.
Oh well, at least I can expect my period now and won't get my hopes up as I know there is no chance.
I will come back later tonight when I am feeling better (and more positive) to write persies.
Mel - I've had this happen a couple of times to me too - it absolutely sucks knowing that you have no chance, I'm so sorry hun.
I would think that most likely they will suggest Clomid, it is the usual "first step" before other forms of AC eg. FSH injections, IVF. I have done Clomid a number of times, first time fell pg but miscarried, and used it again post m/c a number of times with very mixed success, which I put down to my "old age" I didn't always ovulate on Clomid and it badly affected my endo lining too, that's why I'm doing IVF now. Don't mean to scare you at all, I think seeing as you are only a young thing compared to me you've got a really good chance of Clomid working for you There are heaps of ladies on the boards here that have had success on Clomid! And with the extra monitoring (BTs and ultrasounds) you get when you are taking it, you will have a much increased chance of conceiving.
Don't go thinking you are letting DH down I'm sure he doesn't think that at all. Just keep perservering and you will get there! This may be the reason that you are having trouble conceiving - it is better to know about it and have it treated than keep going along in the dark month after month hey? And how much sweeter will it be when you finally have your bub?!
Mel1979 - I'm so sorry you are having such a rough day. I don't know much about ovulation so can't help you there. But as for DH - I have EXACTLY the same feelings - despite the fact that my DH has been fantastic, doesn't blame me at all - but I struggle with the fact that I can't give him a baby...at least yet. I think he'd be a fantastic dad and it just breaks my heart that it's not happening and I feel like its my fault. I don't know what to do to fix how I feel, but thought it might help if I share that I feel the same way.
Toccara and Mannie: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
These babies WILL STICK!!!
My very best wishes going your way!!!
All my girls here... Thank you so much for thinking of me.. I feel much better about my kidney stone..it looks like it was just one and I passed it that day.
Things have not looked up here yet...but we are hanging in there AF has not arrived since my D&C on 9/12 and I don;t think she will come until I see a specialist... the only time I know we can see a specialist is maybe on tax return season in April.. yeah April my due date.
There is only one thing I feel super bad about and that is.. that my son will turn 4 on Dec 16th and if any of us don't get a job by then it will be sad to not get him anything.
Hubby has a few interviews for the first week of Dec but when you start a new job they don't pay you right away.. I just hope we can get my son at least a cake or something.
If hubby gets a day job I will try to get a night job..( so he can stay with Erick Daycare is out of the question) I know we won't have a minute together but for now I think we will have to sacrifice that.
sooooo tomorrow is thanksgiving and I'm cooking a few things.. hubby got his last check from his job and we have to be wise as to how to spend it.. we just don't know when we will get $$ again and it's scary.
But we will try to make the most out of it tomorrow...
Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
possums - Sorry to hear AF is being hard on you. Hope she eases up soon.
toccara - Wishing you all the best.
mannie - Here's some for you too.
megsmum - Goodluck with the BT and FS appointment tomorrow. you get some good news.
Mel - I'm so sorry hun. As megsmum said, at least your on way to getting some answers. Take care of yourself.
buliej and Mel - I also feel like I've let DH down by not being able to hold on to our baby. Its good to know I'm not the only one. Even though our journey to parenthood is tougher than most, we can't let it come between us and our partners. It'll make the day we see DH holding our forever babies in their arms that much happier and our partnerships that much stronger. to you both
ruthie - that something comes out of your DH's job interviews. Sending lots of positive and lucky vibes your way. Things have got to look up for you and your family soon.
Ok, I'm back! Feeling a little better now as DH has been trying to get me to see the positives of it as well as giving me heaps of cuddles. At least we know what the problem is and we can hopefully do something about it. I'm hoping it's just a matter of going on Clomid and that it works for us.
Thanks so much for your messages of support, it means the world to me. What would I do without you girls??? It didn't help that I had gone shopping for baby things today as I have a baby shower to go to on Sunday and another friend has just had a baby. I had to put them in the spare room as I couldn't bear to see them. I feel selfish but can't help it.
Won't be going back to FS until after AF arrives which means if I go on Clomid I won't be starting it until January. Decided we will have a break in December and just try to enjoy the festive season! Actually looking forward to relaxing and not worrying about when my o day is!
Hannah - Thanks so much. Still wishing for I'm glad I am not the only one who feels like I am letting my DH down. But you're right it will make it all that much special when they hold our babies in their arms for the first time. I expect to be a blubbering mess when I see that happen! Imagining that day keeps me going.
Megsmum - Thanks for your message. I'm sorry Clomid didn't work for you. I am glad we are finally getting answers even if they are not the ones I wanted to hear. At least we have something to work with now. I wanted my GP to do this test 6 months ago but he fobbed me off so not entirely happy with that.
Best of luck with the BT & FS appointment.
Buliej - I do think it is great the fact that will all care so much for our partners that we just want to give them what they want most in the world. Not every one has that so I thank my lucky stars all the time that I have such a wonderful husband. It certainly brings you closer together and strengthens your relationship.
Ruthie - Gee, you just can't get a break can you? Really don't understand the welfare system in the US I think we get it easier here in Australia.
Mannie - Good luck for Saturday
Toccara -
TY - if the pains persist or get worse make sure you go straight to your GP or hospital as it could mean you have an infection. I was a little bit sore after my m/c but nothing too bad.
Possums - stupid AF - sorry she showed! Better luck for next cycle.
Fifi - how special to feel kicks. good luck with your 20 week scan.
AJC - Rest, rest, rest! Must've been such a scare, glad everything is ok.
smi, Toccara, & Ruthie--Happy Thanksgiving!!!! Hope you all enjoy your turkey day!! I don't know about you girls, but I can't wait to eat!!
For all the amazing women I've had the honor to have met, I just wanted to let you all know how grateful I am for knowing each and every one of you! You all help me get out of bed each morning and go about my day--I wouldn't be here if it weren't for the awesome friends I've made!
As always, extra special big for my Friday night girls! *kiss* Love you all!!
Ok, I know that was cheating.... but I promise to be back at some point for persies! Gotta get Tom the turkey in the oven!! Yuuuuummmm!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all those american girls. Have a great day
to everyone.
Jen - not sure if i'll catch you tonight, need to be up early tomorrow. I'll see how I go.
Mel - good luck with the clomid. DS2 is a clomid baby, conceived on the third month. Unfortunately for us, it never worked again, although I do O by myself, it was supposed to give a little help.
Ruthie - special just for you. DH will get a job. Hey, share one of those special hugs with Erick for me.
Happy Thanksgiving from me too!!! Let's hope 2009 brings lots of blessings to be truly thankful for!
CONGRATs to Mannie and Toccara - so very happy to hear of your BFPs!!! Sending all the sticky vibes possible.
Mel - first of all, need to give you a big . Then, while I can't help with ovulation/clomid discussion, I would suggest that if it turns out you have any inkling of an autoimmune disease, you should ask your FS or GP or similar for a referral to an endocrinologist. I have been seeing one for my thyroid deficiency and from what I understand there is a link between autoimmune disease and infertility. That may not be the case 100% of the time but it is certainly worth looking into. If you were in Melbourne, I would recommend the one I see but can't help you for Tassie, sorry.
megsmum - hope all goes well this morning hun
TY - welcome hun - the hugs are there for you too
Mostly, i am lurking and cheering you all on with my special pink and blue pom poms - mollycat, jen, ruthie, smi, wth, hannah, buliej, possums, babymiracles, jenushka, Indy, princess85 and anyone else i have missed.
