    no it was too late. i think she tried to come back home but didn't make it. our neighbour found her. my dh just buried her, and even though he didn't really like her it has really upset him.

    hope you catch the egg x

    Hi Ladies
    Matthews mum so glad you got 2 dark lines have FUN ! my line is still very faint so I guess I am only a day or so behind you thanks for your advise on the days to I guess I can keep you company in the TWW !
    Murraycod at your story last night, your poor DH he sounds so sweet is he better today did he manage to wipe his behind ? shame he will have to learn to do things one handed when you get your baby so he may as well get some practise in
    Spfairy IM so sorry about your cat life sucks at times shame you really are having a bad time of it this year I you get your BFP really soon and can look forward to next year
    Milly glad we could help we all need a hug now and then !
    cookie hope your feeling better the hormones are a real pain making us cry out the blue with no warning took me ages to get over it when I first MC but 3 mnths down the line not too bad now just the bad day every now and then ! normally form some insensitive comment from someone who has never had a MC to know how it feels,
    Ferrals I think you made the right decision years ago IVF was too expensive for me and luckily in the end all came well, so hopefully you will get a BFP real soon and a healthy baby !
    Anyone else I forgot SORRY ive been up since 5am with little monsters and my head is empty my brain cells are shrinking by the day !
    Have a great evening !

    Scarypinkfairy, I am so sorry to read about your cat- I feel the good luck coming to you really soon

    Milly5 good to hear you a feeling a little better

    Ferrals – fingers grossed for you going it a la natural

    Murrycod any sign of AF yet?

    Budgi my first AF after m/c was also very heavy also. Be kind to yourself

    ATM just as I suspected AF reared her ugly head yesterday. I saw my GP yesterday who thinks I may not be oing due to stress (and I am very stressed about this whole TCC caper). I am off for blood test this morning to check hormone levels etc. It was great to speak with my GP yesterday as she has had serveal m/c and knew actually how I am feeling. She thinks I haven’t grieved enough for my loss and that maybe I should speak with someone about it. Afterwards I felt better and treated myself to a milkshake (my acupuncturist won’t be happy- but I deserved it).

    I have decided to try and stop obsessing, which includes trying not to post on this site. So if I become a bit absent from this site I apologise, it’s just something I feel I need to do.

    to you all and I will post again when I am less obsessed and stressed

    Morning ladies sorry i havnt been doing percies of late i have been so self obsorbed with everything and under a lot of stress but we are happy with our decision we spoke to our FS and scientist about our fertility egg quality ect and they say they are happy with everything egg numbers sperm quality fertilisation ect so the 8 months since we lost abbi would not have effected our natural chances and our age is not yet problematic as they say so we can try naturally and hope for the best but i was told it might take a little while as if we concieve an effected baby it might not stick or i could m/c or it might hang on like abbi so he said dont panic if it takes a bit longer it will be nature weeding out the faulty ones well i hopes so anyway and if one does stick we can be tested at 11 weeks so i am waiting for AF and taking my vitex to help me o/v after all the hormones it might be delayed.
    Thanks for everyones replies and thoughts the money was a big issue and a sore point $14,000 for PGD IVF when normal IVF at westmead hospital will cost $2,000 i just think the government should help people with genetic conditions as caring for disabled kids will cost 1000 times more than PGD process and SIVF and MIVF are the only ones who do PGD so what choice do people have.
    So anyway i will stop being so selfish now and be more supportive to you ladies hope you will forgive me.

    Morning Ladies

    Greencake its fine for you to take time out for a while I need to do that at times myself but it is nice to speak to people in the same boat as you if you need to so we will be here for you when you need us !
    Ferrals you are not selfish its very traumatic going through IUI or IVF as everyday you are thinking about it and the cost is tremendous so its understandable, as I said previously I have a child with a genetic condition called craniostenosis and he had heart and digestion problems too but he is well now after a few major ops in his life. We had all the scans and so on and nothing was picked up until 6hrs after his birth, he is nearly 9 yrs and when he was 7hrs old I didn't think he would live through the night so he is a fighter, I have miscarried 5 times in all over the years and I strongly beleive nature does know what she is doing, my sons condition is not something you can test for but at the same time its not something I would wish on anyone either but having said that I am so happy he was a sticky bub as he brings so much joy to us all everyday and he was worth all the hard work.
    So let mother nature do her job and lets see a BFP really soon you deserve it !
    SpFairy hope your feeling better today shame I am an animal lover too but we only have guinea pigs and a budgie !
    Matthews mum hope your sorted and on the way to catching that egg its about time we got some more BFPs on here before christmas !
    Everyone else
    Murraycod any news did AF turn up or are you going to get those POAStiks you know its thursday TOMOROW !

    Matthews mum we must have posted together,
    No I am not organized at all we emigrated in Feb this year from the UK so its been a busy year and now with the sun shining I Can't get my head into gear for christmas at all as it feels like July/Aug for me but the kids keep telling me otherwise so yes the TWW for me will go easily this time when I get my two deep lines that is hopefully today or tomoro.

    Murraycod, it is really strange to be hanging for AF to come, isn't it! Hope she's found her way already!
    ScaryPink Fairy, Obviously you're building up your bad karma points, so the universe will be making it up to you soon - either that, or you'll gather enough points to get away with doing something bad (like snotting the next person who makes a thoughtless comment!).
    Matthew's Mum - what are you doing here?!?! Go, have fun!!
    Greencake - at's hard not to stress, I know! You just need to find a way to have a little faith - or a temp lobotamy!
    Ferrals - you're supposed to be a little selfish now and then - it's part of the healing process! We wont hold it against you!
    Afm - My ob's office called today - mixed results, and I have to go and see him tomorrow. They went fairly far out of their way to fit me it - so I'm nervous now!
    Thank you all for being you!

    Crafty, nope, no AF, and no POAS. I'm not crampy or swollen at all, but I just have that 'feeling' inside she is on her way, that 'yucky' feeling, I just hope I don't get the visit tomorrow, gunna be a crappy long drive as it is!

    Cookie it is well and truly weird im begging the AF Witch to visit!! The sooner my new cycle starts, the sooner my IVF cycle starts. Good luck with the OB visit tomorrow, ill be thinking of you as I'm driving along (passenger side though, DH always 'has to drive') broing! Anyways hope that you get some good news, or some sort of action plan on the go XXXX

    Matthew'sMum that is very kind of you to be thinking of us girls when you hang your star up, that means a lot to me, thank you from the bottom of my heart X I'm going to buy an extra special ornament to hang on my tree this year, that i can keep for ever, and smile when I look at it.

    Evening ladies i am feeling good we put up all the chrissy lights and inflatable decorations for the boys today and i feel positive my life is good i am with the man of my dreams and we are all healthy i got an email of my FS who said to organise a ph consult with her to discuss any worries i have about trying naturally with our ages and she also told me my next AF will be a doozie and stock up on pain relief and surfboards as tampons wont be enough as my lining is double the thickness it needs to be from all the hormones i was on so yippee somthing for me to look forward to so just waiting for her to show up over the weekend.

    Mathewsmum-the star on the tree is a great idea we got a glass ball with an angel inside and abbi's name engraved on it for our tree so she is with us.

    Craftmummy-thanks for what you said i will put my faith in mother nature it is all i have left hope your lines show up nice and dark tomorrow and you can catch that egg.

    Cookie-good luck with your results tomorrow hope it nothing major and easily fixed.

    Murrycod- i was hanging for my AF to come so we could start and the witch was 3 days late when she is always on time but i am also wanting AF to turn up this month because it will be the 1st month ttc naturally after 6 months of being safe trying not to get pregnant while waiting for our ivf strange hey i feel weird one minute we cant get pregnant the old fashioned way we have to use protection and now thats our only option.

    Greencake-goodluck for the future.

    Hi all,
    Just popping my head in to say.... i am here, just not posting, been a bit down about the whole TTC thing, the last 2 cycles i have started spotting at 9DPO , last cycle full AF at 11DPO so only a 10 day LPif you count the spotting only a 8 day LP), getting worried it is too short! BUT i am following everyone's journeys and giving everyone who needs them big hugs!! Lets hope we all get the present we want for xmas or new years. xx

    hey sparkles, i think you are right, 12 days is too short. maybe you should go and see the doctor and get some tests done. or have you tried vitex? that is supposed to help regulate hormones and promote ovulation. good luck x

    Cookie36 good luck with your appointment, let us know how you get on x
    i hope you're right about the karma thing, we'll see

    craftymummy9 i agree, how can it be christmas when it is so hot? it doesn't seem right to me either! i was thinking about giving christmas a miss this year, not sure what there is to celebrate. we have no family here anyway, so i always feel it is a sad time of year, as it used to be all about celebrating with family.

    greencake hope you're ok, it's hard trying not to stress. hope you will still pop in here from time to time x

    Matthew's Mum that is so sweet, and we are thinking of you

    ferrals4 i agree about the cost, and you should get some more help if you do have a genetic reason for having the tests. i don't know how the price can be so high for pgd, surely the work they do does not cost any where near that much!

    i was thinking it's not just me that is getting the bad luck. my dh was off with a migrane for 2 days this week and he never normally gets headaches. and he had them the week before, i am getting a bit worried by all these headaches. he fell off a roof the week before that and the house owner was not even bothered, he was more angry dh had broken some of his tiles. what a ****. he had time off with heat stroke the week before that. he worries me a lot. it's never ending.

    SPF - can you get DH to go to the Dr?

    if you are worried, his going to the Dr might ease your mind. we can all do with a little less worry.

    thanks for asking dory, he did go to the doctor and he said there was nothing he could do. my dh boss's wife is a doctor and she said dh should get a cat scan, but i think we'll just monitor it and if he gets them again go back to the doctor or a try different one.
