    Hi everyone, just here reading and lurking still... sending hugs and hope to you all

    and to the ladies who have tears when they don't expect them...me too...yesterday I was driving home from mum's place and bang...out of the blue, I think of our last ultrasound scan and the hopes and happiness I had had before it...and next thing I am sobbing again... I guess it's healing for us

    Hi everyone,

    Sorry for the long post but I need some help!

    Just a question if anyone can help? I am currently in the TWW *sigh* and I am due to test on Friday (if AF doesn't show up before then). I am charting my BBT on FF (this is my 3rd cycle charting). Yesterday I had a huge temperature dip (went from 36.89 to 36.10) which was 10 DPO. Today I went back up to 36.91. I was reading on FF that you can have an implantation dip between days 5-12 which statistically usually results in pregnancy (but of course not all the time). This have never happened to me in the 3 cycles I have been charting (not long I know) I usually always stay above the coverline in my lutual phase.

    I am trying not to get my hopes up and I know everyone is different so what happens for one person may not be the same for me but does anyone have any feedback?

    I have just started getting headaches, sore bb's, going to the toilet heaps and I have had a little dizziness, these can be normal AF signs for me though so nothing to count on. Ever since the m/c I seem to get pg symptoms each month before AF - it is so frustrating!

    I would so love to be pg this cycle (October was my lucky month last year) but at the same time I wonder if it would work out fot the best to wait and see the FS after this cycle to make sure everything is ok. I am so scared after TTC for 12 months that there may be something wrong with me that caused the m/c last time. Irrational I know, I am blaming my hormones!

    Yesterday was one year since the m/c and I was ok, we went out for the day so we didn't stay at home getting depressed. I am actually more upset and emotional today which is strange. I have visitors coming soon so I had better pull myself together.

    Sorry to ramble on, just needed some feedback and advice if anyone has any?

    Mannie - hope you're doing ok.

    Angel - where are you?

    WTH - Sorry to hear about your BFN.

    Possums - cry when you need to. I often shed a few tears when I am driving by myself because I find that is when I have the time alone to think about our loss and our hopes for the future.

    Ruthie - As you requested - sending AF vibes your way (you can have mine for this month!).

    Mollycat - Thanks for the hug.

    Rach78 - but wish you didn't have to be here. Sorry for your loss.

    Big Hi to Jen, plc1805, tutmae, fificlaire, flowerchild and anyone else I have missed!

    Thanks Tutmae and ruthie for your replys!

    Tutmae - patience was never my virtue! This is only my 2nd onth ttc after my d&c - I really should give myself a break, hey??

    Ruthie - I don't know much about PCOS so not sure on that one?? What are the symptoms? With my m/c twins we conceived the first month we tried - I wasn't stressed about it, didn't use ANY type of fertility/ovulation monitoring at all and just had to take a guess as to when I might have o'ed as my cycle varies in length a bit usually. having said that, I must have o'ed around day 15 that time around with the EDD that we were given for those baies (which is why I'm weireded out by the day 23/24 ovulation this onth!). So I think i'm panicking way more than is warranted!! I don't know why i am fussing around with OPK's etc. this time -maybe because I'm desperate??? I'd love more info on PCOS though- is it something I should be concerned about????

    Thankyou both for the advice and kind words, big back to you two!!

    Hi everyone. I just got back from Melbourne. WICKED was awesome! My friends and I got all dolled up and made a real night of it. My new shoes were killing me by the time we walked back to the hotel, but it was so worth it. Also caught up with a friend from high school. The funny thing was she flew to Adelaide the day after we saw her. But it was the first opportunity she'd had to show us the restaurant/bar culture she's always telling us about. Now I think I need a holiday to recover. LOL.

    I haven't had a chance to catch up on whats been going on around here the last few days yet. But Mannie I just want to say that I'm so sorry for you and that I'm thinking of you.

    Also thankyou to everyone for all your prayers and thoughts for my cousin. She's having another scan either today or tomorrow. that there is some good news.

    Rach: Oh hun.. I know ..patience is not my virtue either. I hope that you do take it easier.. (easier said than done) and hopefully that way you can conceive.
    About PCOS I just found out I cannot post links here but you can google PCOS and read.. there is a LOT of info on the net.

    HannahD: My thoughts and prayers are for you and your cousin. I hope all turns out well for her. ♥

    To all my BB girlies.
    . OMG I'm SOOOO FRUSTRATED!!!!!!! I swear I thought AF was knocking my door I have had nothing but light spotting for 3 days.. today it's gone. not even spotting..less than that it was only when I wiped.. I'm right now stunned and am asking myself WTF???????

    I'm really frustrated.. it has been 53 or so day since y D&C.. this makes it all even more painful.. I shouldn't have been worrying about this crap right now.. right now I would have been 18weeks5 days.. the only thing that should have been on my mind right now was finding out the gender of my baby.. NOT HITS CRAP!!
    I think I hit Rock bottom today.. DAMN I HATE PCOS!!
    I hate my body!!... My body KILLS babies.. it's like my womb is a graveyard!!!

    I just want to crawl up in a hole and just cry and fade till I'm no more.

    Good morning ladies! OMG... I feel like it's been a long time since I've done a real post.... not sure I remember how! lol... let's see how this goes...


    mollycat--Sorry our chat was cut so short on Fri! Glad to see you got the MSN working, tho! We'll catch up there! *hugs*



    Toccara-- Always thinking of you! *hugs*



    issy, Van, & Chappas--Hey girls! Big hugs for you!



    WTH--Oh, hon.... so sorry! Praying for better luck with the higher dose!



    Megsmum--Hey cycle buddy! How's all the sniffing and jabbing going? Saying lots of for this month!

    Ruthie--Aww, hon.... *hugs* Thinking of you and sending lots of AF vibes your way!



    Mel--Saying lots of prayers that those symptoms turn into a BFP for you! Sounds promising!



    Rach--It's so frustrating when our bodies do something different than what we're used to, or what we want! *hugs* There's still times when I think my body's reacting to my m/c, and this is my 9th cycle since! I say go with your fertility signs... if you've got fertile CM and high CP, keep up with the BD'ing! There's lots of positive charts with late O--you can always go through the chart gallery on FF and compare yours with ones they have on there. Good luck, hon!

    Possums-- It will get easier, I promise! Thinking of you!



    Hannah--Glad you enjoyed your Melbourne trip and Wicked! Sounds like you had lots of fun! Lots of prayers for your cousin's upcoming scan! *hugs*
