Cool new thread.
Coco I am with Inanna its not over till its over. Hope your in for a huge surprise in the next day or two.
My DH is been unsupportive and I am actually looking forward to going to work to get away from him. His cousin had a baby yesterday and he was trying to throw a picture of it in my face. I know I shouldn't feel like I do but its the last thing I wanted to see especially when the parents think they are a cut above the rest. I told him why would he do that when he knows how I feel about birth annoucements etc and he said its always about me. WTF? He just can't seem to realise that if I didn't m/c I would have a baby by now and if it didn't happen again and again I would be heavily pregnant and happy etc. His way of coping is it will happen and has no feelings of loss. Its seems like a reminder of everything I have lost and am not about to have IYKWIM. Boohoo. I can't stop crying now and wonder how on Earth I am going to go work in maternity in an hour. This is the pits.
So sorry all for the poor me post.
Snugglybean your signs are sounding promising. When do you plan on testing? Before AF or wait till she is late?
Hello to everyone else and I hope your all having a nice Sunday.
I have had a nice morning this morning, DH cooked me bacon & eggs and baby spinach & muffins and coffee then we were discussing this morning and we're definately going to be starting IUI in feb is no avail...he said to me, and this broke my heart, "I really thought this month would be the month. I was really hoping for your birthday & christmas this would be it" ...I think he saw the POAS with the blaring single line in the bin. He said this was the most down he had ever felt about it.
We then went shopping for our 3rd wedding anniversary gifts together. The tradition is leather so I got a black leather pandpora bracelet with an irish cladder charm & he got a black leather bracelet band thingy aswell. It felt so amazing So loving and so beautiful.
Im having cramps in my uterus. Not period pains but different. Cant explain it. like a tight feeling. I dont want to jinx anything and Im praying its not AF.
Emmy, thats tough, and maybe your DH doesn't quite know how to handle the situation and thats his way of dealing with it??? but yeah it must be tough also having to be working in maternity.
coco: hopefully you get your BFP this month
afm, haven't posted in awhile but have been reading posts, just hoping that I get a BFP this month- but tested today and got a BFN so feeling a bit down about that.
Hello to all the lovely ladie here, how HOT is it, better than cold and rainy though i suppose.
Emmy sorry to hear DH is being unsupportive. I think sometimes they just find it a lot harder to show what they are feeling and dont fully understand our feelings. My DB can be like that at times too. He just says to me stop stressing and it will happen. But he came home last night and said i just want you to be PG now and we had a big hug and that made me feel really good. Hopefully your DH starts to be a bit more supportive for you.
Em sorry to hear you got a BFN, not over till AF shows up though for you
Coco sorry to hear you too got a BFN, sounds like you have had a lovely day though with your yummy brekky and your wedding anniversary shopping. The bracelets you bought sound lovely. Hopefully you can top it off with a BFP in the next couple of days. Those pains your having sound promising too
Snugbean your temps too are sounding very promising. Hope your AF stays away and you will get your BFP as well. Are you planning on testing or just waiting it out?
Ferals at your comment about the white pants and no emergency tampon, surely if anything was going to bring on AF that would be it. Hopefully she shows up very soon so you can have your BT and get your IVF journey started.
Twinsis sorry you got a BFN this morning, has the spotting gotten heavier? Maybe it is just implantation bleeding for you too.
Hello to everyone else i have missed and i hope your all having a lovely weekend.
AFM had my sisters hens party yesterday and we went shopping in the morning and when i got out of the car i had a very wet feeling in my knickers and i thought cant be AF, WAY to early. So i went to the toilet and i had lots of EWCM. Im hoping that is because i was ovulating (thought it was past that, but maybe not) because DB came home last night and is still home tonight as well so we got lots of BDing in. Think i might use an OPK next time i need to pee and just see what that says. Ive never had a positive result with them so not really thinking it will show up but ive got heaps in the cupboard so may as well give it a go.
Good luck to everyone testing and bring on some BFP's

coco that sounds so lovely! Even that he was feeling down, it is so special when you can share feelings like that as a couple.
elise - glad you spent time getting busy! OPKs have never ever worked for me either.
Blood test tomorrow, may or may not show anything - 9DPO
testing Tuesday morning using FR at 10DPO
testing again Saturday if nothing using internet cheapie.
Emmy83 shame your dh is being unsupportive but in a way i think m/c affects us more than it affects them. we had to go through all the changes when we were preg and going through m/c is very tough on us. my dh does make insensitive comments sometimes, like oh you would have a big belly by now, but i think he doesn't mean it in a nasty way. i think it takes us a longer time to get use to not being pregnant anymore than it does them. but that's just my opinion. must be hard for you having baby pics shoved in your face though, would be too much for me as well.
coco1411 how cute buying gifts like that for your anniversary hope your pains are good pains!
em... still a chance so don't give up hope.
eliselouise85 hope you manage to catch the big o this month!!! maybe some opks would be useful for you if you're not sure when your o date is in the month.
snugglybean i have a good feeling for you this month
ferals is there was any way to bring on af that had to be it. why when you want it to show does it have to be late?
afm, have to organise an ultrasound to have the bleeding checked out. will ring an make an appointment tomorrow. also one of my friends wants me to be bridesmaid next christmas and i don't know what to say as she wants to order the dress now. i would feel bad if the dress didn't fit me next year as i have no idea what size i will be, and she doesn't know about my m/c. i think i will have to phone and explain the situation to her (she is in the uk which is why we didn't tell her about m/c).
Twinsis-yes we were safe and i have done 3 hpt's to be sure it is just another one of lifes cruel jokes to p#ss me off i think i have hit rock bottom hopfully the only way is up from here otherwise i don't know how i will cope i am a mess right now.
Suprised much? I had a temp spike today so what the hell is going on?!!! Hurry up already!!!!!!
Im sending my AF vibes to you Emmy & Ferrals....so Twinsis & myself can get our bfps!
I think we've waited long enough..DH's words still ringing in my ears from yesterday "I am realy upset...I really wanted it to be the month for your birthday & christmas...I need a hug" I felt for him so much and it took all my strength to not cry! I love him so much right now
I had thought for a long time that he didnt quite care every month, but he admited he does get upset and his way to deal is to ignore..hope that's the case for those having issues with their DH's.
Morning all, hope everyones weekends were nice and relaxing.
Ferals how annoying that AF still hasnt showed up, im keeping everything crossed for you that she does. I know what you mean about wanting to throw in the towel. Sometimes it just seems like it would be the easiest thing to do, but try and stick it out and like you said things have got to start looking up from here
Emmy sorry to hear work wasnt so good. That is so wrong of them to keep that information from you. Its your body and you have every right to know whats going on with it. It really makes you wonder how much drs dont tell us
Twinsis to spotting being a false alarm, hopefully you'll be posting a BFP very soon
SPF thats a tough one about the dresses. Its a very long time in advance to order them, anything could happen in that time. I would probably talk to your friend and explain the situation and ask if she could at least wait till the start of the new year. My sister is getting married in 3 weeks and we ordered our dresses back in may and i was 6 weeks pg. My sis knew and i should have been 7 mths pg at the wedding so we ordered it a bit bigger but going to have to pick it up this week and get mum to do alterations. Also good luck with the U/S hopefully they can give you some answers for the bleeding.
Snugbean your plan sounds good, keeping everything crossed for you that the BT may give you an answer. Be sure to pop in and let us know.
Coco any news yet??? Hanging out for your post
AFM used an OPK yesterday but still didnt really work, two lines on it but not quite the same in colour (not much difference but i dont think a positive) so anyway just hoping that DB's little swimmers got to my eggie at the right time and i suppose im officially in the TWW now too. Also my weight loss journey is off to a good start, have lost 2.4kgs since last monday so hopefully ill be able to get my 10kgs by xmas. Im already feeling better dont feel so wobbly when im walking
Anyway better go and get ready for work, talk soon

I think whoever is BB's server provider should be shot. So sick of having to retype EVERYTHING if i dont copy/paste...and I shouldnt even have to do that!
I was saying...
I have finally done our own vegie garden I planted..
Zucchini
Lebanese Eggplant
Chilli
Baby spinach
Rosemary
Tomatoes
Spring onions
and strawberries
Also we have seeds for brocoli and small watermelons. Need another garden bed because the one we have is a little crowded and Im thinking Ill have to transplant some of them when they're a little bigger. See how we go I guess..
Yeah I thought the temp spike was interesting too...I have no spotting or anything and not sure..Im due today or tomorrow or maybe wed...not sure of that either..*shrug* Thought about going to get a pregnancy blood test to see...but that's probably a little dramatic..Im sure the stupid thing is on it's way. Murphys law...
Trying to see it as a good thing (umm.is it ever once you're ttc??) because that way i will be able to drink on my birthday on sat and I definately wont have my thingies on our wedding anniversary as has been the case every year!
