snugglybean keep your fingers crossed, you never know...
Matthew's Mum good luck with this cycle
eliselouise85 hopefully AF stays away
hello to everyone else especially those in the 2WW (craftymummy and tanya)
hope you are feeling well Twin Sister
ATM i am having a down day, trying to make a decison as to whether I resign from one of my jobs so that I can be less stressed and prepare myself for getting pregnant again. I am CD 11 and as OPK's never work for me have no idea when I am going to ovulate- am so annoyed as my body is still all over the place and no sending me any signs
hi guys!
sorry about the total lack of personals right now, there is waaaay to much to try and catch up on lol
Congrats to the BFP's!!! and good luck to you ladies in the TWW
i am sorry i havent been around, i have been trying to get myself out of this little rutt i seem to have got stuck in, im trying to be kind to myself and all these birth/ pregnancy announcements Hurt so much.
I am almost 100% that i O'ed yesterday!! and we got there int time ROFL so i guess that makes me in the TWW too!!we might just have to have another try tonight just to make sure :P
i am really really hoping that this is our month... if i get pregnant next cycle, the baby would be due on Kyarna's birthday the exact date. anyway i am back now and i will do personals next time ( going to start fresh lol)
hope you are all having a good day!!
LoopyLouie - It's looking very promising! Fingers crossed for you.
Greencake - I'm sorry you are feeling so down. I think stress levels do play a part. Do you need to work two jobs? It could help to give yourself a breather. I did acupuncture this cycle and I did feel a bit less stressed and more positive.
EliseLouise - I am holding my breath for you. Is the end of the week you test?

Afternoon all
Loopylouie YAY how exciting about seeing the second line again. Personally i would wait at least a few more days and test again but if you need to put your mind at ease maybe you could make a drs appt and have a BT done there. Good luck either way and i hope that 2nd line gets darker
Craftmummy good luck with testing on friday, glad to hear that your keeping yourself busy so as not to stress about it too much
mummyof4 sorry to hear your stuck in a rut, YAY to ovulating yesterday and yewah i would bd again tonight just to be sure
Greencake sorry to hear your having a down day. Maybe you would be less stressed if you cut back to just one job and it may make the TTC journey easier. Good luck on making a decision, its a tough one
Snugglybean hope AF stays away for you, when is/was she due?
Matthewsmum good luck with the clomid and the recognition of life certificate sounds just beautiful for your little angel
Tanya good luck with the wait for ovulation, hope its not too stressful for you
Coco so glad to hear you had a lovely weekend, good luck with seeing your naturopath this week, and good luck with starting the IUI.
AFM well i caved and tested this arvo and no surprises BFN. I was feeling a little nauseus and funny in my tummy this morning at work so i thought id test and if it was BFP it would lift my mood, but no such luck. SO then i went for a walk and got home to a phonecall from DP telling me that his sister had been hit by a car in melbourne and is in an induced coma because of a bleed on her brain. Its even more worrying too because shes just had 5 or 6 lots of brain surgery to stop her epilepsy and had complications with that. She is only 15 yrs old and has been through way too much, but we know shes a fighter and will pull through it. So im not going to whinge anymore and think about her and how much shes been through.
Hi girls congratz loopie louie and sammyP and twinsis that makes three i hope you have left room for the rest of us to join you.
Eliselouise-sorry to hear about your SIL i hope she will be ok.
Sorry for not doing persies to everyone i am so tired have worked some late nights and had to be up early for BT and U/S but i got todays results my E2 is 3005 so still a little high but ok to continue i have 21 follicles which is good but only 7 or 8 of those are big enough to to make it to EPU if i'm lucky one or two more might catch up in time but they doubt it as the others are getting quite big anyway have to have another BT and U/S wed to see whats happening so i am happy all is going well i would have liked more bigger follicles as we need a lot of eggs for PGD testing.
Hope everyone is well talk to you soon.

eliselouise85 hope your sil is doing ok. that is a lot to go through at only 15. keep us posted.
congrats SammyP on your bfp
Looppylouie hope your test was correct, hopefully you can test again soon and the 2nd line will be there quicker.
snugglybean sounds like you have decided to ttc for real now. must be so exciting. hope it doesn't take you long.
greencake i'm with you there, i have no idea what is happening with my body either. had d&c 4 weeks ago today. i hate being in limbo. might help if you do resign from one of your jobs. must be stressful for you, so would take away some stress.
~mummyof4~ stop posting and get bding!!! hope this is your month
ferrals - 7 or 8 seems enough for pgd. what are the chances they would be affected? is it 25% that would mean still enough left to implant
afm i had my ultrasound done today and the lady said it all looked fine. i've had bleeding on and off, and it's now brown stuff (sorry tmi) so i'm hoping this is good, as it means it's only old stuff now. i think the same is happening to me as it did to you craftymummy i did have heavier bleeding at the end of last week which may have been af, as i also got my bad skin and a migrane to go with it. which is the usual hormonal things i get at that time of the month.
and i also went and bought some nature's own pms essentials, as they contain the vitex as well as other stuff to regulate hormones. just hope this works.
Eliselouise- I am sorry to hear about your SIL, i hope she pulls thruogh quickly.
Ferals- bugger about the scan but it is good news that your levels are still ok to continue :fingerscrossed: some more grow a little bit for you!!
I have a question...
how long after you ovulate is it possible to still get pregnant... i know i should know this stuff but i just dont lol
Does anyone get ovulation pain? what does it feel like??
think we posted same time mummy of 4. i think the egg only lasts for 24 hours once it has been released but i'm sure people have stories of it lasting longer. and i do get ovulation pain, usually in one side and just feels like a dull ache for the day. hth x
SPF-7-8 is ok at EPU but when you think not 100% fertilise and then not all will make it to day 5 blast and then not all will survive the PGD test and then you need uneffected ones 8 doesnt leave much for the drop off in numbers but i am trying to be positive we only need one to be uneffected and make it to transfer but i hope a few more catch up in the next few days i would like a t least 2 at the end for peace of mind.
Whew I only missed one day online and look at all these posts to catch up on. DS is going to wake soon so I'll keep it short
Sammy - yay to a darker HPT line. I really do think this one's going to be sticky!
loopy - ooooh I hope the line gets darker and comes up sooner in a few days. None of my negative tests ever showed up anything after 10 minutes so I'm thinking it is most definitley a BFP. Congratulations!
Elise - I'm so sorry to hear about your DP's sister, i really hope she pulls through it ok. Your Dp sounds very supportive and caring. I'm very emotional right now too so i think you still have a good chance. Fingers crossed.
Coco- Happy Belated Birthday. Sounds like you had a really fun night out, i'm glad.
Snuggly - still waiting for your good news.
crafty - glad to hear you are keeping busy, nothing like waiting to drive you crazy
Tanya - good luck this cycle
Mathew's mum - Aw, Im glad your Recognition of Life Certificate turned out nice
Green cake - if you are feeling stressed then i would def resign fomr one of your jobs if youa re able to. As for ovulation, can you trakc your temps to find out when you are ovulating? If not just start BDing like crazy and hopefully you will catch it.
mummyof4 - that would be kind of cool if your next baby was due on the same date as your daughter.
ferrals - wow this IVF stuff is a lot more complicated than I realized. Here's hoping some more follicles catch up!
SPF - glad the U/S showed all was well. Hope the Vitex sorts you out quickly.
AFM - not much going on here. Trying really hard not to tell everyone who will listen until at least 8 weeks or so (once I have past the 6 week mark I will feel a bit better) Few more days to go until i see my Dr.
EL - fingers crossed for your SIL. I hope you get good news.
greencake - I am resigning from my job at the end of the year, and going right down to the bottom of the ladder, but I think my body needs it.
Thanks girls for your thought, but AF cruised in today, at 3 days late!
I picked a fight with my poor mum last night, I have been so cranky lately, it's work, I know it is, but she just made one anti-energy saving light globe comment and man did she cop it from me! She tried to laugh it off, and I lost it on her. She didn't know what to say. But you know what? I don't care. She has called me twice since our m/c in July, and one of those times was my birthday. Cheers, mum. Awesome.
Snuggly - Aw I'm so sorry to hear both that Af arrived and that you had a fight with your mum. You seem to be taking it well though and I'm glad you are excited to be officially TTC now.
I went to the natropath yesterday and she was great. She did the iridology thing and said I have a slightly weak liver function and a sluggish digestive system and I am too tense and need to not think so much about everything and stop trying to please everyone else and to breathe...because I have no moons on my nails..I am lacking in oxygen and maybe iron..
So I am on these horrible got awful herbs that I put in a little bit of juice, swish around my mouth for 10 seconds and swallow, 3 times a day...
She also said that my oestrogens were through the roof and I need to not use any types of plastic in the microwave at all, and to do some more excersises to get more oxygen..
I also have to work on my relaxation in that I need to clear my head totally of everything...I dont know how to switch off totally. I dont know how to not care about what others think...
Also she said to stop trying at the moment. By that she meant to just bd every second day. and maybe more at cd13 & 14 and stop on cd15 and have a breather.
I have to keep a food diary because she thinks i am not getting enough of some minerals. So in 4 weeks she will look at my food diary and see what she has to tweak and what I have to tweak..
All sounds good. The herbs are ok..I just need to get used to it, but if it's going to give me my baby then so be it..
The herb mixture includes vitex and she said its ok to use this amount of it (dont know how much it was) during pregnancy because it is great for morning sickness and will keep the progesterone up.
Sorry for no persies. I am having a major emotional decluttering day today so needing some space. Will catch up soon xxx
coco that sounds awesome. Have you thought about doing yoga, or do you already? It has some great detox functions, is excellent for de-stressing, but my favourite part about it is the all-round strength it gives you, and confidence in your own body. And if that doesn't help you now, then it certainly will when you're getting ready for that baby!
You'll get used to those dirty herbs! I actually found myself craving them after a while! Yuck!
Evening all, thankyou all so much for your prayers and well wishes for my SIL. Havent really heard too much of whats going on down in melbourne but did get a text from my other SIL saying that she squeezed her dads hand this morning and that the coma has lightened a bit so thats positive. Me and DP are going to go down and see them all on thursday.
Coco sounds like you learnt alot at the naturopath, hopefully it puts you on the right path to conceive your precious bundle. Ive been meaning to go and see a naturopath for months but just keep putting it off, really should just get off my butt and do it, might do the world of good
Snuggly sorry to hear that AF showed up and that you had a fight with your mum, hopefully when your on your holiday your mind will be preoccupied and it will happen just like that
Twinsis good luck with your Drs appt in a few days. Its so hard to keep your mouth shut isnt it. I said i wasnt going to tell people too early but couldnt help myself i was so excited.
Ferals WOW it is actually really full on isnt it. I hope you can get a few more follies in the next couple of days so you have the best chance at it.
mummyof4 i too would say only 24hours after but i think everyone would be different, i get ovulation pain which i had never noticed before my last mc and its just on one side and is quite similar to period pain, just a dull ache and the occasional sharp pang
SPF Yay to getting the all clear on the US. Hopefully that was AF last week and you can get your BFP very soon
Cherished are you still lurking hun? Hope you are doing ok, i often think about you
Hello to everyone else i have missed, hope you are doing well
AFM still no AF so that a good sign, getting quite a few pimples but no real pain that i generally get so thats also a good sign. Trying not to get my hopes up too much because it just makes it all that much more dissapointing when the witch does show up.
eliselouise85 looking good for you this month then. when are you going to test?!? sounds like your dps sister is recovering from the coma if she is responding like that. when these things happen, it does put other things into perspective though.
and craftymummy, have you tested yet?
snugglybean, well now that af has shown up at least you have made the decision to go for it this cycle. you have had a long wait to get this far so lets hope you get your bfp soon.
coco1411 sounds like you had a really good birthday and that the natropath is sorting you out, although those herbs don't sound like much fun. a lot of what you said i can relate to - like trying to please everyone and not being able to switch off. not sure how you can change that though, it's just your personality. i would say that bding every other day is the best way to go. when i got pg we only bd on days 14, 16, 18 and 20 to make sure i ovulate usually around day 18.
afm the doc gave me Cyklokapron to stop the bleeding, it's a tranexamic acid and is supposed to help clotting or something like that. she knows i want to ttc and didn't want to use anything with hormones in just yet. i really hope these do the trick otherwise i have to go and see a specialist.
hello
the exact date. anyway i am back now and i will do personals next time ( going to start fresh lol)
hope this is your month
