    Hi everyone

    Boy a lot has happened in here since I last posted - it is difficult to keep up

    Ruthie : Good luck with the test. Fingers crossed that you get your BFP, and that everything will be perfect this time around. You deserve it hon

    Jen: you are such an amazing support for everyone on this thread. Big hug just for being you

    Mel: Really feeling for you honey. Take care this sunday - maybe you could do something special to celebrate your angel on that day

    Megsmum: glad you are feeling a bit better. Good luck with the scan on monday - wishing you lots of success this time around

    Toccara - I know how you feel - I too am terrified of having another m/c. Fingers crossed we both get a BFP soon and a healthy baby to hold in our arms very soon

    Hannah: Have a great time in Melbourne. So sorry to hear about what your cousin in going through. Let her know that there are a lot of people here praying for her
    Possums - Sorry that you have had to join this thread though. I am also doing IVF. It can be so stressful can't it, and so devastating after taking so long to finally get a BFP, only to m/c. Praying that the next IVF cycle will be a success for us both, and for all of the ladies in this thread who are undertaking IVF.

    Dellydoo - Wishing you every success with the FET. I am doing the same thing this cycle - first blood test next tuesday.

    MO3B - I am so sorry you have been having such a hard time. Been thinking of you. Take care of you honey

    Mannie - congrats on BFP - wonderful news

    Jenuska, Rachelswirl, Tutmae and all other pregnant ladies - belly rubs for you and wishing you the most happy and healthy pregnancies. I hope lots more of us from this thread join you very soon


    WTH, Angel, Megsmum, and everyone else I have missed. Sending you hugs and best wishes

    Wow, I was having trouble keeping up on the old thread, then I go away for a week and now I'm doing some serious catchup. (Still trying to keep you all straight in my head!) OK, so here goes for my 1st go at personals:

    Mannie- congrats on the - an excellent way to start a new thread!
    Megsmum- good luck for your next cycle, sending you lots of sunny its beautiful in Perth today)
    BM- same to you. with starting the IVF
    Mel1979 and dellydoo- looks like we are 2WW buddies this month. Wishing you lots of . I?m going to test next Thurs, unless AF shows up uninvited.
    MO3B- so sorry to hear you are having such a hard time, our thoughts are with you.
    Ruthie-I haven?t been here very long but you seem to be a really strong wonderful lady so I?m sure that you will handle all the curve balls that seem to bounce around here (sorry, not good at sports metaphors) Good luck with the POAS. I?m also going to say thanks for the general babydust and hope I?ve managed to scoop some up!!
    Melissa,- hello but sorry that you are here, if you know what I mean, good luck on starting down the TTC path again
    Possums- just need to put in a little story cos there is always hope around: My Mum had an et preg after she had me and ended up with only 1 badly damaged tube left and was told there wasn?t any way that a baby could happen naturally for her. Then when she was 40, she went to my Dad and told him she was either entering menopause or she was pregnant- I now have a 13 year old brother!! Hope is a very good thing.
    Fifi and rachelswirl- keep growing those sticky bubs of yours, all the best
    Jen- a big hello back, am in awe of your ability to keep everyone straight!

    OK, sure I?ve missed someone, so I?m sending out lots of sticky vibes and to all who are here. Have to say that I find the number of preg women around seems to greatly increase during the TWW, maybe they are drawn in by the LH surge (sorry that?s a little disturbing ) Anyway, 1/2 way through 2WW so am chanting

    Also, having a little problem with the babies, babies, everywhere thing. There are 5 babies of close friends due in the next 4 weeks (plus one that arrived last week). Can't help thinking that I would have been nearly 5 mths along, sigh.

    Must be around I just need to find it- shouldn?t be hard, I never dust my house, it MUST be piling up in the corners!!

    Take care, Indy

    Oh Indy, I have completely given up on keeping everyone in order. It takes time, I think. I hope.
    Sorry you're struggling with babies everywhere, it's tough, but I always choose to look at it as a positive reminder of what is possible for us, not a reminder of what we don't have. It makes it a lot easier.
    Big

    Big big for all you lovely ladies, I'm off to eat my lean cuisine and try and keep it down. Back on the steroids, so hopefully they do their job. Start back at work on Monday (just a day a week but I'm dreading it!) as DH and I have been surving on $500/wk (less rent that's less than $200 for bills etc) so the customers will just have to deal with the possibility of being thrown up on. Maybe I'll give them a discount if that happens.

    Much love to you all!!

    Indy- I LOVE hearing that story about your mum...it does give me hope...people always say with only one tube left, which is damaged, we have virtually no chance...but you never know! good luck with the TWW!! And I totally get it about the babies everywhere thing

    babymiracles...I too hope we both have success with our next IVF cycle... (unless of course we have a miracle beforehand!)

    ruthie- good luck with the POAS!!! quite nerve wracking

    megsmum- good luck with the sniffing and jabbing- I hope your body reacts like it's meant to

    tocarra- that must be hard with your friend pregnant... a friend of mine had both started trying for a baby around the same time...and she has a gorgeous little girl now, and whenever I see her I always think...that could have been me if things had worked out differently

    mel and mannie- hi, hope you are OK

    hannah- have a good time away

    where there's hope...thank for the nice words...I pray we all do find the energy to hope and that hope turns into a baby in our arms one day

    afm- doing ok...just struggling a bit at work today...and thinking that if our first pregnancy had worked out I would have had a baby this month...ah well, our turn WILL come...I have to believe that. Plus images of that awful scan which will be 2 weeks ago as of tomorrow..keep replaying in my head...me staring at that screen willing their to be a heartbeat, but realising there simply wasnt one anymore...
    on the upside...I've now been able to return to yoga and that helps...and some moments in some days I do experience some joy....so that's a start!

    you ladies are lovely...hello to anyone I have missed

    Hi ladies,

    Possums - totally understand how your feeling, I'd also be over the 3 month mark now and in the safe zone (to a certain extent) so don't let it get you down, I just hopped back on and tried again and hey presto a BFP so don't give up hope it can happen, and Im 37 so I aint no young chicken and only have limited amount of good eggs but as long as I've got them I'll just keep on trying.

    Indy - Im chanting along with you and hoping the witch doens't show..goodluck

    Hannah - am thinking of you this weekend and will say a little prayer for your cousin at mass.......will also say a prayer for my bub and for alll you lovely ladies Ttcing

    Tut - oh my ....well if you have to chuck you have to chuck I know how your feeling, though its only been dry wretching can't imagine it getting worse though doc said it probably will...oh the joys.....wouldn't swap them for the world! Goodluck

    Ruthie - any news yet??????

    Babymiracles - goodluck with your IVF cycle, my good friend is also going through it next week so this will be her 4th attempt, she's my age 37 soon to turn 38 so she's praying hard that this time the bub will stick...am hoping too.... for you

    Mel - chin up lovely lady, remember everyday is a miracle and soon you too will be holding yours as will all our ladies on this thread so go on vent all you like thats what we are here for!

    Jen - have a great weekend making babies...lots of Im throwing your way girlfriend!

    Met our OBGYN today lovely man, very nice and good bedside manner, he explained to me why pregnant women may spot or bleed during their 1st trimester as I have been spotting last few days and that it should stop by week 16. He said its because the embryo attaches itself to the wall of the endometrium and burrows in causing implantation spotting then because the other side of the wall of the uterus still swells up during the pregnancy it may shed and bleed and cause light bleeding, however he did say it is not uncommon for women to spot the whole way through pregnancy. Phew well that makes me feel less anxious, he also did say that there was no point taking any progestrone injections or tablets etc as should the progesterone drop then its not a viable pregnancy anyway and your body is trying to shed the embryo...hmmm yes I suppose he's right there still doesn't make it any easier on all of us ....however moving on......he said the important thing is eating well and that I have enought to eat well and drink lots of water (thats not a problem for me I'm overweight as it is so food has never been an issue and I've just been drinking litres of water cause the pg is making me so thirsty) and that in 2 weeks time he wants an ultrasound and to hear the heartbeat, that is the most important thing, he's not a big believer in HCG levels as that can make mothers anxious and cause unnecessary stress....so overall both my DH and I really liked him and his straightforwardness..got blood tests done today so find out the levels tommorrow but I promised him I won't stress

    My sister is so trying not to let on to my mum that I'm pregnant and I promised her that I'd tell mum once I hear the heartbeat in 2 weeks.....I can't wait for that day!

    To all the lovely ladies I've missed your in my thoughts as always smi,joey,megsmum,jenushka,Krystie,Angel,Toccara,MO 3B,Tam,WTH and anyone I've not mentioned...goodluck on your journey this week..Im hoping for lots of BFP's by end mid next month BRING IT ON!!!

    OFF TO BED NOW FOR NAP AM SOOO TIRED
