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
