Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage/Loss - November 2009

Ferrals well if it was me I would go for it one more time ! but we can't tell you what to do but at least think about it while AF is on her way, what does your DH think its a joint venture.
Eliselouise sorry for your sadness at the moment but give yourself permission to melt every now and then you all give me hope when I do so I am passing some back to you sweetheart you will get there in the end just be patient and think positive !:hug:for you,
Maybe write on your Blog your story and how you are feeling it has helped me when you read back what you write it seems to sooth a little, and just open up to us ladies you can PM message me anytime !
Cookie36 welcome I read your story on another thread and I am so sorry for your losses but gather some strength from the ladies on here we are all here to help in anyway we can there are so many sad stories and so many on this TTC journey all waiting for the BFP and a healthy baby and we will all get there in the end !
Milly5 sorry for your sadness too I feel for you on your EDD and I dread mine coming around so hey give yourself some time and think to the future you are allowed to feel sad its only natural :hug:
Everyone else will be back later to check how your all doing !
MURRAYCOD did you get some pg tests yet ! you are so brave !

EDD time - milly 5, I do feel for you :hug:. K.T. should have been born 4 days after a wedding I have to go to this year (2 days before Christmas!). Peanuts EDD was about a week after my cousins wedding next year. And people don't seem to get why I don't feel like celebrating Christmas this year!
It's tempting to set up laptop in the car with a wireless connection for the wedding - keep popping in there to whine and chat to people who do get it!

Ferrals I think you should give it a go if you are ready and it feels right.

Eliselouise I am sorry you are feeling so all over the place. I think it would be worth you speaking with someone, sometimes it's good to get things off your chest with someone who does not know you. I hope you are feeling better soon

Ric I am sorry things are all over the place with your body. I know how that feels at the moment it’s horribly frustrating

Craftymummy9 good luck with the plan

Milly5 thanks for the hug, hugs to you at this time I am not near my EDD but can imagine how hard it is

How are you murraycod? I have my fingers crossed for you, have you tested yet?

Welcome hosebeastess and Cookie36, hopefully you feel comfortable with us very soon. I am relatively a new member (I stalked for a while) and have found the encouragement and kindness given to me by these lovely ladies invaluable:hug:

Hello to anyone I missed. :)

ATM DH is off to see my acupuncturist to see if he can do anything to make DHs sperm be faster and stronger. DH is very supportive and sweet:inlove:! My spotting has almost stopped and still no sign of AF. My nipples have been erect and sore all day. I still don’t think its our month as I tested this morning and got a :bfn:. Will keep you updated.

OMG post fest thisafternoon hey!?!

Ferrals go for it hun. I say if you are able to afford it again this year, just jump back in. You have nothing to lose.....apart from your sanity......;)
IUI was stressfull enough for me, and I have no idea what the IVF cycle involves yet, but I'm sure DH and all of us can support you through.
Babe you have been sooooo strong through all of this, you are an inspiration to all of us for the patience you have had, and you know we will support and respect the decision you make in the end XXXXXXXX

Crafty nope, no sticks. Thaught about it though, then told myself not to be stupid and just wait for AF to visit. I want to prove to myself that I'm strong enough not to POAS. Will be a first for me.

It will be like not being able to pluck out a wedgie cuz I'm in a crowded room......driving me crazy already :lol:

Welcome to the thread Cookie X Youl'l get to know us crazy girls soon enough X Think I may have introduced myself to you in anoth thread, glad you have joined in, and hope you are getting plenty of support here XXX

Greencake what cycle day are you on hun?? Think we are on the same. Can you get a BT to see what's up??? I have read many girls not getting a BFP on a PeeStick for many days after AF being late. And if it is actually implantation, your levels wouldn't be high enough to show POAS.

Milly5 Cyber Huggs to you hun XXXX I hope your doing ok X Theres a couple girls here taking clomid, hope it works for you XXX

Eliselouise sorry you had a meltdown, don't feel bad for it, better out than in I say X
Talking to someone could really help, we are all here for you, but I dunno if I'm saying the right thing to people sometimes when in such a fragile state, professionals know how to handle meltdown moments, and can teach you really good tools to use, no harm in it X

matthew'sMum hope you get that +ive OPK babe X:whip:

Ric hope you are taking it easy sweetheart X

I had an eventfull afternoon........and suprisingly wasn't the dog I had to take to the vet, but my Darling DH to the hospital :rolleyes:
I was in the house doing some dusting, when DH came running to the back door yelling "babe! Babe! Get me a bandage hurry Iv'e cut myself!!!"
I went to the first aid kit, got a bandage and rushed over to the door, he sees me.....
"No No Get me a towel quick it hurts"
i was like "Take you to the hospital cut???"
"Yes quick hurry it's bad" He was cradling his right hand under his armpit, and I saw the blood all over his shirt and his shorts.
Thaught he'd cut his finger off or something the way he carried on.
I threw him the towel and he quickly wrapped his hand up. He looked white with horror.
Took him to the hospital (My work) and the poor darling got a whole of 3 sutures:lol:
And a tetanus, just to get him back for all of the IUI needles he gave me with a grin on his face:lol:
Poor thing. LMAO!....3 sutures....
Since then, he has acted like a child, getting me to cut up his food, open car doors, do shoelaces up, undo buttons, make him an icecream........I flat out REFUSED to wipe his butt when he asked me too....not my problem it's his wiping hand.

Hi Ladies
i know its been ages, but have not been in a good state of mind the past few weeks. Its like its been a delayed response to MC and have hit a wall, both me and DP. We have decided to get some help together and seperate. We are a good, strong but how we are dealing with it all, is very different. He is angry about the MC ripped off we lost the pregnancy, where as i am sad, so sad. I got AF the other day with a VENGANCE!! oh my god very heavy sorry to be yuk, but filled 5 heavy duty surfies in a day!! with little livers, sorry again.... is this normal??? i guess now we have a clean slate to work from and i can start to map my ovulation cycle. MUST look on the good side. Can easily get drowned by sorrow. Thanks so much for letting me debrief as i need. thanks:heartbeat:

first of all sorry if i miss anyone. the thread has spiraled out of control!!!

lol muraycod, sounds like my dh, he is off work at the mo with a headache, but he's feeling very sorry for himself. i can sympathise about the tetanus though, i had to have one last week after a mouse bit me that i was trying to save from the cat. see what thanks i get!

greencake is your dh taking any kind of supplements, you can get them like blackmores or ultivite that increase production of :sperm: well at least in our experience they seem to have made a difference lol :redface:

craftymummy9 that's good news about the new house. we almost moved when i was pg, but we could not sell our house, i've just had so much bad luck. what have i done to deserve it?!?! hope you get your +ve opk soon :)

milly5 hope you are ok, i'm no where near my edd but dreading it. hope the clomid works for you.

ferrals4 that is a tough decision to make there. maybe just talk it through with dh, good luck on deciding what you want to do.

Cookie36 and Hosebeastess sorry for your losses. Hope you take some comfort in posting in this forum x

eliselouise85 you are only human, and everyone has times when they have to let their feelings out. hope you feel better now after the wedding.

ric hope your cycles settle back to normal soon. have you tried vitex? i am taking pms essentials by nature's own which contain vitex and other stuff to try and sort my cycles out. maybe give this a try?!

budgi is this your first af since m/c as lots of people say the first one after m/c is much heavier than usual, and can pass clots. i know how you feel about feeling sad and ripped off, and try to do things to help pass the time and not dwell on my m/c. i could see i was getting more and more depressed and introverted, but i am trying to stay positive.

afm, counting down till i hopefully get my af on friday then we can start ttc :crossfingers: i am surely due some smidgen of good luck.

Budgi my first AF after MC was just as heavy and painfull as MC itself. Was a terrible reminder. It's your bodies way of starting fresh, even though your mind might not be yet X
Take one day at a time, and have love and patience for eachothers different greiving process. Getting prof-support is a good idea X
Each of us here have some sort of idea what we are each feeling and going through, but men can be very hard to read, they don't talk about this stuff to their mates like we do X

SPF.....lordy lord our boys are trouble!

I spoke to the accounts ladie and so far we have spent $3000 on work up fees and medications not coverded $895 for EPU and the cycle fees of $11,000 come out of my bank today we get back $8,000 on medicare so all up we are out of pocket almost $7000 so we wont be doing anymore ivf we have to go with nature and hope we get lucky

Hi all,Ric-Sorry your cycles are mixed up,hope they get sorted soon.i agree with craftymummy about the opk,wait till the test line is darker...Craftymummy-my fs said wait until see darker line ,bd that night,miss a night,then the next night bd again,he told me he thinks i depleted dh swimmers last time i saw him,as my dh is getting up(no pun intended) in years ,like me...Eliselouise-no chance of you being forgotten,sorry to hear youve had a rough weekend,nothing to feel silly about,i think it's healthy to get emotional than holding it in too much,glad your sister was supportive.i've find going to councilling helps me,i think their trained in a way that they help you open up.I also go to support groups,sids & kids and bears of hope have pregnancy loss meetings.The links should be on their site,also i found sids & kids 24hour telephone helpline really helpful.Naturpath sounds like a great idea as well,you can only try...Ferrals-what a hard decision for you to make,surely this thread will get some luck soon...Cookie-sorry for your losses...Murraycod-thinking about you...Greencake-fingers still crossed...Milly-we get it,it is yet another day of what should of been and it hurts,good luck with the clomid...Budgi-hugs to you & your dp.Ifind my dh deals with our loss different to me..Scarypinkfairy-Hope af co-operates,good luck with this cycle...afm-still waiting for that darker test line on 'o' stick,think my eggs are on the slow boat to china.

I think I've figured out how this forum works - the replies come in so hard and fast, you're so busy trying to keep up with everybody else you don't have time to think about your own problems. :p
Murraycod - he was just jealous about all the attention you were getting - I remember in the middle of of the tests and medical visits for K.T. having to race DH off to the hospital with a nose that had been bleeding for 2 hours. Only to stop the instant we went in to Triage!
Just had a scan to try and find out if there's anything left over. Hope not, otherwise it will be another d&c for me :doh: Had some tears this morning (I was hoping the random tears were done) so I'm feeling surprising peaceful right now.

Cookie that is exactly how it works!!!! Glad your feeling better after a cry, I always do. Yeah DH is a bit on the emotional side of the male gender....it's the Greek comming out in him:lol: (they cry a lot)

Ferrals that is a decent hole in your bank account. Imagine what it is going to be like as of 31stDec. You know it's really not fair, I hope I don't offend anyone when I say this and sorry if I do, but if you are on the (not going to work) side of things, we pay taxes to support the non workers and under age pregnant rabbits of the world, but when it comes time to look after ourselves....well stiff. It is not fair. Sorry guys for the rant :redface:
Just get sooo frustrated, Ferrals babe I'm so sorry you can't get to have another try, and I pray that all your strength and patience works out well for you naturally hun XXXX

Matthew'sMum go catch that egg girl, when you find it!X

ATM i'm still waiting for AF to show up, got a few niggles earlier in the day, so hopefully that it's her knocking at the back door. I'd really like to have AF by Thurs, not on Thurs cuz the cramping I get each month is very severe, I would hate to get that driving to Adelaide and back in one day (5 1/2hrs each way). Who knows, my cycles can range to 34days so time will tell.

Hi Ladies,

Thanks craftymummy, cookie, greencake, murraycod, scarypinkfairy, matthewsmum for the hugs. I was a bit better today.

murraycod - your DH story had me ROFLMAO!

Hi Budgi - my first AF post m/c was really painful too. :hug:

Ferrals - I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the odds are in your favour now :hug:

cookie - sometimes the tears just pop in, seemingly out of nowhere, don't they?

murraycod - it seems strange saying hurry up AF doesn't it?

Hello to all the other ladies, and sending Babydust*babydust*babydust

someone up there must really hate me. now i have just found my cat has been knocked down :(

what have i done to deserve so much bad luck??? :cry:

cookie-hope you can avoid another d&c...Murraycod-that's a long drive for you,could you book a motel room for the night?..Milly-glad to hear today was better for you...Scarypinkfairy-sorry,i know how attached one gets to our animals.Were you able to get her to the vets,if you ring after hours they usually have another number you can ring...afm-tested for 'o' this afternoon and the boat has docked,2nd line was as dark as control line,so got to go and try make a baby with any luck.

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

OMG Scarypinkfairy i am so sorry about your cat X I give animals wwwwaaay too much credit for having feelings like a human being, so I get VERY attatched to them. Darling I hope that you guys are ok :comfort:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXxx xxx

Matthew'sMum I hope you don't get to read this until tomorrow cuz your buisy:ttc:
But so glad you got your dark line honey.

Milly always glad to give a hug X
Glad you got a laugh about my DH, I'm still laughn :lol:

i'm sorry,hugs to you & dh

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 :bd: I guess I can keep you company in the TWW !
Murraycod :ROFL: 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 :rofl:
Spfairy IM so sorry about your cat life sucks at times shame you really are having a bad time of it this year I :pray: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:goodluck:

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.

:pink-babydust: 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.

hi everyone,Craftmummy-i'll be pleased for the company,at least this time we'll have chrissy shopping to help occupy us or are you super organised and have done it all...Greencake-sorry af turned up.sound like your gp was supportive,good to hear.Ithink speaking to someone is a good idea,i think it has helped me.Hope your bfp is just around the corner....ferrals-no need for apologies.hope the meds don't mess your cycle up to much and you can ttc sooner than later...afm-support group tonight is having a christmas tree where we hang stars on it for our baby,when i hang Matthew's i also be thinking of all you lovely ladies and your heavenly ones

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 :bluedust::pink-babydust:
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.
Have a fab day !:)

Murraycod, it is really strange to be hanging for AF to come, isn't it! Hope she's found her way already!
ScaryPink Fairy, :comfort: 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!:hide:
Thank you all for being you! :hug:

My gorgeouse girls hello thank god it's wednesday woohoo!!!!!!!

SPF I hope you are doing ok after lastnight hun X I still feel awful about what happened X

Ferrals hun you know us babes here will support and cheer you on no matter what your decisions and no matter what your position, so don't feel sorry or selfish in any way at all. As someone said earlier, supporting eachother actually keeps our minds happy and buisy XXXXX We love you and you deserve so much Xxxxxx

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.

Greencake best of wishes for your journeys ahead, be sure to pop by now and then to let us know how you are going. Your welcome back anytime hun, we all have time out moments XXX
I hope that we have helped you in some sort of way, even if small over the past week XX
Take care and Merry Christmas X

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.

Hi ladies. Haven't talked to you guys in awhile (not been feeling too well), and I've missed chatting with you guys. I've read through most of your posts but there are too many to reply to. Looks like sadly a few more people have joined (sory to read of your losses) and no luck yet with anyone else moving on to PAML, but I have all my fingers crossed for everyone.

I've hit a bit of a rough spot and am hoping I can lean on you guys. I've been having kind of spotting (pink and red streaked CM) since yesterday and am getting really nervous. I went to see my Dr today and he wasn't too concerned yet as he did an initial HCG at 4 weeks and my levels were nice and high (365 I think he said). He did another HCG on me today (now 6 weeks) to see how things are going and I should have the results back tomorrow. I have no cramping and it's not a lot but I'm obsessivley running to the loo to check (my girlie bits are getting a bit sore and I am going through loo paper at an astronomical rate but I can't stop myself). I'm trying not to worry too much yet but it's still really scary. Please let this little one stick! Please please please!

Twin sister - I had spotting (brown, pink and red) at least once a week from 5-10 weeks. Just rest as much as you can. No heavy lifting, no sex. It freaked me out everytime as that was how my last m/c started. Im now 16 weeks and everything is going well. I even got to hear the heartbeat at the drs this morning. I also had scans at 8, 10 and 12 weeks to check everything is ok. Dont be scared to demand a scan if it will help you rest easy.

helle everyone

Aternoon all,Craftymummy-did you get a pos 'o' stick?....Cookie-How did you go at dr's...Murraycod-can't wait to hear how your app went...ferrals-hope you can get af over with soon,ready for some chrissy b'ding...Sparkles-sorry your been down,happens to us all,good luck this cycle...Scarypinkfairy-looking at your ticker,might have something to celebrate after all,are you testing soon....Dory-thinking of you...Twinsister-Try to think about all the pregnancy's that go full term yet had spotted throughout the 1st tri...Ric-sending you best wishes

MurrayCod - Hows your DH's health now. seeing blood must be scary and frightning, but you are really strong, i am not. AND hows your appt went with the dr.
Twinsis - Be positive, and stay calm, i know your concern, but dont worry everything will be allright.
Eliselouise - how are u feeling now? it must be very hard sometimes to deal with present, u know what i mean...i hope you get BFP soon.
SPF - When are you testing? And must be tough when DH is going thru' one after another thing. hows his headaches and health, must see a Doctor, afterall "health is wealth". Look after him and yourself.
CraftMummy - So "O" sticks worked well for you? All the best for BDing and Catching that EGG and TWW.
Matthew's Mum- Thanks for thinking about all of us and the heavenly ones while decorating the X-mas tree...And did you get the Dark line on the stick...so time for action...;)
And to every member of the group - Hello and Happy day.
With me - nothing happening, just have real sore boobs since yesterday (must be ovulating or something else:D), but we are doing it every other day (just in case) i dont know where my cycle is and when i "O"ed (according to my 28 cycle - i have passed ovulation, but with this new cycle - i will be ovulating somewhere this week or next - only my hormones and body knows...). i will just wait for this month and then i am heading to GP so that she can recommend some Vitex to fix my cycles...but i wish to see my GP with the good news...
But thanks girls, for the idea of trying Vitex, i never ever have thought in this way to get some natural suppl to fix the body's imbalance...Thank you all.

Hi everyone

Twinsis try not to worry I know its hard but you have to stay calm and relax as much as possible,
Spfairy hope DH feels better soon and you both get a nice BFP to brighten your spirits soon !
Murraycod waiting and waiting for some news !
Matthews mum I did my opk yesterday at the same time as the day before but the line was still faint so will do again today at around 3pm but can the stick pick up LH after ovulation as it was darker but not dark on tues but nowhere near the colour of the test line ! last month was light then really really dark the next day so a bit confused will :bd: tonight anyway just incase he has had 2 days off !
Everyone else fingers crossed for some more BFPs really soon and :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: to all in the 1st trimester !

Speak soon :)

Thank you all for the kind thoughts! Saw the Ob, he's really positive about my scan (I'm completely empty), concerned about my hcg. He made me visit the vampire again this arvo, to make sure everything is dropping. Get those results tomorrow, then we can talk about what is next in terms of monitoring/treatment/etc! He was full of jokes though, and now I'm in an excellent mood! (wonder how long that will last?)

Murraycod - what IS IT with DH and their "I have to drive cause I'm an obsessive control freak!"? It's the same gene that makes them hog the remote I bet!Hoping everything times nicely for you!
Ferrals - a nastier AF just means more massages, and more chocolate remedies!
ScaryPinkFairy - I'd recommend scan, or even xray - DH gets the headaches and migranes when his neck/back aren't aligned - Even a trip to the physio might fix the problem! A massage perhaps?
Twinsister - relax. Lie down. Watch a movie. I know it's hard. Have a nap! A massage! Mind over matter is about the only real course of action. From what I read with my first m/c, spotting (especially pinkish) at the 6 week mark is unbelievabley common. I know how scary it is - I've been there - but bubby wants you to chill!
Hello to Sparkles and Ric!

I say - massages for all! :loveshower:

OMG I'm so exhausted, but needed to pop by and let you all know I'm back home safe and well X Got up at 3am, appt at 1130 and home 630. Sooo tired.

My Adelaide FS is a LEGEND, we love him already. Sounds very positive and very experienced. REPROMED nurses were so welcoming and kind, made us feel like we had been there for years!

Heap of bloods done today, more tomorrow morning if AF hasn't come cuz we might hav to 'make' her come so I can start my cycle BF Dec31st. (im not PG, tested for that).
Picked up my script for the pill for slight antagonist cycle so not due for egg pick up at Xmas.
Girls I am on cloud nine ATM!
Depending on amount of eggs they retreive at egg pick up, 4 will be ICSI and the rest natural fertilisation, so they know what is best for us if more needed in the future, I think that's a great idea and am so happy with that.
It's all systems go! And to think I only rang them 7 days ago, and ended up with the best FS he has the greatest reputation, and a 1yr waiting list, so someone is looking out for us 'up there', perhaps a little angel.

Sorry girls I'm rambling, got so much news today I dunno what to say first!


Cookie I'm so glad to hear that your OB visit went well too X

Ferrals hope you are doing alright, hope AF isn't too rough on you when she comes X It's like another kick in the butt! Sooner she's over the quicker your in the game!X

Hope you catch that eggy Craftymummy X

Ric I hope your cycles are back to normal soon so you know where you are X Just BD every second day for a while! If he starts to hide from you, just jump him when he gets home from work!:shhh: Tis alright when they want it!X

SPF hope all is well with DH, get the catscan if headaches persist, just to be sure everything is where it should be X

Hi Sparkles, don't be down babe :comfort:

Hi Maddison gosh time goes by so fast, I can't beleive you are 16wks already!:dance:

Twinsis, stickyvibes sent your way, you are doing so well, take it easy hun X

Coco and Snuggly..................miss you :bump:

Everyone I missed I hope you are all well, and Take Care babesX

Hi Ladies, thanks so much for all your well wishes. Dr rang earlier and said my blood test looked great and not to worry, though I had some more red streaked CM this morning. Feeling very poorly today though (brushing my teeth makes me vomit) so that must be a good sign. Trying to take it easy, will let you guys know how it goes. Thanks so much.

Murray - good luck, i hope it goes well!

Cookie - glad you are in a good mood, hope your blood test goes well and your HCG drops

crafty - GL catching that egg!

ric - hope you don't need the vitex and get a BFP from all that BDing

Mathews mum and Maddison - thanks for the kind thoughts

Murraycod, I am SOOOO happy you love your FS - I know how much difference that can make to an otherwise stressful experience!!:leap: Although, I have to admit you say egg pick up, I have these images of playing on those skill testers at timezone!

Twin Sister - glad you're feeling pukey this morning (how odd is that!) And that your bloods look good. When I was spotting prior to my first m/c, my bloods had already started well dropping. Keep resting!

Got the call from the ob, my hcg is only about a third of what it was 6 weeks ago, so everybody is pleased with the result. :dance:
