    Toccara my thoughts are with you, keep the lines of communication open during times like this, allow each other to cry and scream and greif - but never blame. It is so important to go through this together as one - no-one is ever to blame for this horrid experience. As plc1805 said "the key is to get answers and then there will be physical proof". All the best sweetheart, we are always here for you xoxo

    Toccara - I wish I could be with you and give you a huge Life is so unfair at time, you shouldn't have to go through this yet again. Please give your DH a hug from us and let him know that you have lots of people thinking about the two of you. It's such a hard event to go through.

    Krystie - Here's a special for you too. The EDD is such a hard one to get through, no matter if you've got kids, got one on the way or still ttc. It reminds you about lost dreams that you and your family have. Thinking of you.......

    Indy - : congratulations. Sometimes, nothing shows up until well after AF is due, others get in early. Enjoy the ride

    Mumstheword - Sorry for your loss, You've come to the right place, the girls in here give so much - a shoulder to cry on, arms to hug, lots of support and heaps of ears to vent to when needed. We've all been through losses and I know without the girls in this group, I wouldn't be where I am today.

    Tempus - Congratulations. You were one of the support team around when I first joined. I'm so glad you've got your BFP. Hoping and praying all goes well for you.

    AFM - As a couple of the girls on here know, I am stepping back from TTC. As most of you know, my angel left us just over twelve months ago and I am ready to step back from TTC. I am now at the stage of Whatever shall be, shall be In that, If I'm meant to have another bub, it will happen, but it will happen by itself. It took 10 years to conceive my last bub (my angel). It's now time to concentrate on me, to look after my family and myself. I will still pop in (and lurk). My one desire is to see this thread close down - in that there is no longer any need for it - however, whilst there is, there will always be support here and a great bunch of women to hand it out.

    I am so looking forward to seeing BFP's and birth announcements from all the girls in here. I'm hoping that 2009 is a very productive year.

    AAWWWW mollycat, I was just getting to know you! All the very best to you, I hope whatever will be "WILL BE" for you in 09. Go out there and spend some time on "YOU" - you deserve it. Thanks so much for your kind words, support and encouragement during the week (I only joined last week). Everyone on this site is so supportive and just gorgeous. I don't know what BFT stand for but I am guessing "positive pregnancy test" or the likes, and I hope to have one of these in the new year. Have a wonderful Christmas mollycat and all the very best to you and your family in 09.
    P.S. love the Hunter Valley, we go out that way a bit for Sunday drives.

    Hi Ladies,

    I appreciate all your kind words and thinking of me at this time just as I'm also thinking and praying for you Toccara, unfortuantley it was not meant to be for me either, had more bleeding today and cramping too, so have taken some pain killers and will leave work soon and go home early. Not sure why this keeps happening, have no answers. My DH was upset but positive and very optimistic when I told him today at lunch, he said it will happen for us, not in our time but in God's time, so we just have to trust in God and know that he loves us and we will have our forever baby soon.

    I have the list of the tests that is on the recurrent miscarriages thread and will request these tests done via my GP tommorrow. No point getting my HCG levels done as they should be back at zero by Friday.

    We were so looking forward to telling our families at Christmas time oh well lets hope its fourth time lucky instead. We are giving ttcing a break over Christams until all the tests come back. I promise!!

    thankyou for all your wonderful prayers and stickyvibes. I'm giving them all over to Indy and Tempus now... Goodluck girls!!

    Toccara - I am so very sorry. It is just so cruel. Make sure you and DH give each other lots of hugs. I can understand your DH wanting to put blame on something or someone and have a reason for why this has happened. But you need to keep telling each other it is no-ones fault. We all want answers. I that you find these answers and it is something that can be easily fixed.

    Mannie - I was so hoping I would arrive home from work tonight to see everything was ok. I am so sorry it wasn't to be. Big hugs for you and your DH as well. I wish there was something more I could do or say. I would definitely be getting every possible test done to try and find some answers. for you at this time.

    HannahD - It's not over until AF shows her ugly face!!! Isn't hard to hold off from testing?

    Kristielove -

    Indy - Congratulations

    Mollycat - I'm sad you are leaving the thread but I completely understand that you would need some 'you' time. This TTC journey can so so consuming. It often happens when you least expect it or are not 'trying' so you never know! Feel free to keep 'lurking' and pop in from time to time.

    Mumstheword - Welcome. Sorry you've had to join but you will definitely find wonderful support here.

    Hi to Maddysmum, buliej, possums, tempus, jen, plc, AJC and all the other wonderful ladies on this thread.

    AFM - just went for my 2nd blood test to see if I ovulated around day 22. Hopefully should have the results by tomorrow afternoon. I know I definitely didn't o around day 13 as AF hasn't showed up yet. Does it sound awful to say part of me hopes I haven't o at all this month? (Complete turnaround from last week when I was in tears about it!) I guess I just want a reason why it isn't happening and I would be happy to try clomid. But then I worry Clomid wouldn't work for us....

    Indy - Congratulations on the BFP!

    Krystie - Of course you will still grieve for your angel honey. Thinking of you today as you remember your angel.

    mumstheword - Welcome. Goodluck with your TTC journey. Sending anti-AF vibes for the 19th.

    mollycat - I'm sad you're leaving, but good on you for taking time to focus on you. All the best for you and your family in 2009.

    buliej - Hi!

    Mannie - I'm so very sorry. I hope you can get some answers. Enjoy your Christmas and I wish you and your DH all the best for 2009.

    Mel - I completely understand the turnaround. This TTC journey is just so hard sometimes, I don't know whether I'm coming or going.

    Hi ladies.

    I feel a bit selfish posting about my 20 week scan when there is such heartache going on with some at the moment. you are in my and my thoughts.

    My EDD is fast approaching for our angel baby with it being 26th Dec, boxing day. I'm a bit apprehensive about the day but i'm sure DF and I will get through it with the strength we give each other.

    Well..... my 20 weeks scan went amazingly. Everything is in the right place, doing the right thing and it the right size. I have some more wonderful pics which i posted in the gallery, so please take a look. I'm so pleased everything is ok. it's such a huge relief.

    I'm not feeling to great today tho as there is a lot of sickness and tummy bugs going round our office at the moment and i think i may have caught it. and drinking lots of water and crossing my fingers and hoping i havent got it.

    Thats it from me, sorry no time for persies as i'm at work.

    Just one thing, thinking of you all.

    Fificlaire - that's great news about your scan - you must be so excited (and relieved).

    Indy - congrats on the BFP - many people have champagne and more for many more nights than you before they know they are pregnant - I wouldn't worry at all.

    Mollycat - your decision is so understandable - I wish you all the best. And who knows - maybe we'll find you back in a preg thread!

    Hi and wishing only the best for everyone else...

    Mannie and Toccara - Oh no - I am just so sad on hearing your news ... it just is not at all fair - just wanted you to know that you're both in my thoughts

    KL - thinking of you today ...I had my first angel's edd recently and found it a little more emotional than I expected... enjoy your moments thinking of your first bub - and know that the baby you are pg with now is going to have a very special guardian angel with them always

    Indy - congrats! Here's a large helping of for you ... and I always get spotting 14-16 dpo. When I've told my GP about it she still called it implantation spotting... I made sure I got some quantitative hcg tests just to reassure myself anyway


    Hannah - sounds like you are way better at using the zen-vibes than I am! Maybe you should be in charge of them from now on... hope you're doing ok lovely...

    AFM - had a whirlwind baby check visit and scan with the ob yesterday. Bub gave me a minor nervous breakdown by lying completely still when the scanner first went on - ob was very quick to point out the heartbeat, and gave me a listen too (aaah!). As soon as I asked if ob could measure bub, it started up it's usual roller-disco moves and just would not be still for long enough to get a good measurement. She said she's very happy with everything - and that bub has grown the right amount. I have allowed myself a small amount of relief - and am hanging out now until the nt scan on 12 Dec (9 more sleeps!).

    Love to all - make sure you continue to take good care of yourselves and each other

    Good Wednesday Morning Gurlies!

    HannhD...hey young lady! How goes it with you...BFP yet?

    Toccara...aww hon...BIG HUGS for you and DH...this is a very trying time for you both emotionally...you must try to support one another which in the end will make you stronger in your relationship...be well!

    Indy...WOW!

    mollycat...I am such an arse! I never responded to the email you sent me and I promise I had every intent to...I apologize! I can tell you I have been going back and forth with the whole TTC issue...I truly wish I could get to the place where you are in whatever happens happens...but it's nearly impossible...I know too much about my body now. I often try to "trick" myself into forgetting my "O" time or my AF time thinking if I "forget" I'll somehow find myself pg...nuts I know...it's just so difficult. I am getting a little bummed because I am 37 soon to be 38 and we m/c 12/19/2007 with no BFP since...I am trying to remain positive but sometime you just wonder...why? Ya know...
    Anyway please continue to email me (I'll be better at responding *wink*)

    mannie... I am so very sorry...

    AFM...getting the typical AF symptoms...I guess this isn't our time...

    Hey all,
    Thanks for all the good wishes. Hanging in here, off to the doctor tomorrow. Thanks for the reassurance Jen, still spotting a little bit and feeling sort of bloated and achy so excited but really quite scared, looked back at my diary and this is what happened with the mc in July so uggg.
    POAS again this morning, but not a super sensitive one and the line wasn't as dark as the other tests (not surprising if it needs more to detect a signal) but was hoping for darker as I'm now D17PO. Anyway, can't do anything except wait (as you can see, very good at that- not!).

    to all,
    Indy
