Just wanted to let you all know that I'm alive and thinking of you all! I'm sorry I've been a bit AWOL lately.... just been super busy! Have to work at the school tonight, so will have to work on persies later. Just didn't want you all to think I forgot about you or wasn't thinking of you all! for everyone!!
jen - sounds like you are run off your feet. Don't work too hard - although hopefully that will speed up the TWW for you
Ruthie - hang in there sweetie and go and have a blood test soon ok
fificlaire - glad everything is ok - wishing you a smooth sailing pregnancy from here
Indy and Mel and milla- damn that AF witch - so sorry to hear that she arrived. for a 2009 baby for all of us!
Mannie have been thinking of you and hope you are doing okay
Dutchy I am so sorry for your losses. Never feel that a m/c is your fault. It is so easy to blame ourselves but there is really nothing any of us could have done to prevent what we have gone through.
To all the other beautiful women on this thread
HEY - I have noticed that there are quite a few of us on this thread that are 37! So big cheer for 37 and wishing us all a baby before we turn 39!
AFM: Still waiting for FET. Had first blood test on tuesday and they said nothing much is happening yet and definately not ovulating. So next blood test is tomorrow - fingers crossed will start to see signs of ovulating. Once I ovulate I think they will put in frostie five days later. for success. At my age stats show 20% success rate with FET - not great but just hope I am one of the lucky 1 in 5. Will keep you posted. Hey - I know some of you have had a FET - are you advised to avoid trying naturally once they know you ovulate. I was thinking might be good to try naturally as well to increase chance of success? Would love your thoughts.
Baby miracles, Jen, Mollycat, Plc: I'm glad you are all ok overall. I feel like being quiet myself. I asked hubby to bring me an HPT today and he forgot. so I asked him not to forget tomorrow and hopefully I can POAS on Fri.
I sure will post something then. For now I think I will join in the lurking till I have something new to say.
Love you so much girlies .. I just wanted to thank you and all my girlies here SO VERY MUCH for the love and support I have gotten since day 1.
I don't know where I would have been right now without your love, compassion, and support. ♥ THANK YOU ♥
I will be busy this weekend.. my husband has come down with the terrible flu Fall/winter always brings and my son looks like is picking it up too.. and I know for sure I will catch it too... ( blah)
So I see this weekend will be full of chicken soup, lemon tea, over the counter flu remedies and so on.
So in case you all wonder where I have been.. I will be lurking too.... just being quiet. I will let you all know if I POAS on Fri if it was BFP or BFN.. AF still not here. it was a 3 day super light spotting thing and gone. So I'm not counting that as AF. Maybe it was implantation bleeding?.. dunno... let's see.
I will let you all know.
We had our NT Scan today. It was fantastic! We loved seeing the baby again. It's amazing how much you can already see! The baby's little fingers were just too cute!
Anyway, the important news is that the NT Scan and blood test have determined that the baby's risk of Downs Syndrome is 1 in 7000, and it's risk of Trisomy13 is 1 in 99,000. So we are very happy with that. We were also lucky enough to get a dvd of the scan and a couple of pictures, so I have put the pictures in the gallery.
Always thinking of you all and wishing you all the best! Huge hugs all around!!!
Milla--Sorry to hear about AF, she's such a witch! *hugs* Great news that the TCM is helping to regulate your cycle, though!
Mannie--Thanks for thinking of me! I'm so sorry for what you've been going through, hon! You're such a trooper for hanging in there and being supportive when you're feeling so down yourself--you're amazing!
Mellisa--Yay for earlier O!
Ruthie--Thanks for sharing your blog with us Good luck with POAS on Friday--thinking of you!
Dutchy-- So sorry to hear of your m/c in Aug. I pray you find comfort and support here amongst us. I think it would probably be a good idea to see your dr, especially if you think there's any chance you may have m/c again. It could also just be your body trying to get itself back to normal, sometimes it just takes time. Please remember that you didn't do anything wrong--nothing you could've done would have prevented what happened--and it's so easy to blame ourselves when we don't have the answers! Give yourself the time and space you need to heal--there's no time frame when it comes to grief, you just have to roll with it, and one day soon you'll realize that it's getting easier to face each day.
Possums--Hey, hon, thinking of you! Big *hugs*
Mel & Indy--So sorry to hear about AF's most unwelcome visit! *hugs* Hope the FS can give you the answers you're looking for!
fifi--Congrats on a great 16 week appt!
plc-- A walking frame! No such luck--pretty soon I'll have to throw out the wheelchair and replace it with a gurney! Not that I'm complaining! lol....
mollycat--Sorry to see that biotch made it past my force field again! Big *hugs* for you...
babymiracles--Good luck with your BT and hopeful impending O!! Saying lots of prayers for you, and keeping my fingers crossed!
AJC--6 weeks left? OMG... where has the time gone? I remember when you got your BFP--seems like just yesterday! So happy for you, hon! *hugs*
smi--How's your week going, cycle buddy? It's almost done--tomorrow's Friday! Woot woot!
Krystie--Thanks for sharing the new pics of little Chyan! So happy your scan went well! Miss you much! Hey, do you have MSN so you can meet us for Friday chat? Big hugs and *kiss*
Hey Gurlies..I too am guilty of lurking and not posting...
I check in on all of you daily...so even if you don't see me I have more than likely seen you *wink*
I had a terrible sore throat on Tuesday...that was it...no cold no ill feeling just a horrible sore throat it was just a tad sore yesterday and today nothing...thank goodness it didn't turn into a full blown cold or something! I just hate feeling ill (unless it would be morning sickness...at this point I think I'd LOVE it!)
