    Thank you so much girls for thinking of me ♥ Gosh it means so much!!!


    I saw 2 BFPS!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

    Sending my best wishes your way girls!!

    I have been very quiet... very. nothing much to say... I'm still fighting to get back on my feet (even though I keep falling) but I'm sure that when Jan 2009 comes.. I will be ready to TTC again. ♥


    The past two weeks have been up and down..
    I still have not had AF since my D&C on Sept 12th.. it all sucks. Nope I have tested and tested.. and tested some more.. BFNs.. (not that I want to be preggo right now..not yet I don't feel emotionally ready to handle all the stress with TTCing with meds and all that crap I'm sick of doing. )
    2 of my very good friends lost their babies last week. I couldn't help but cry both for them and for myself. One of them was 11 weeks (just like me) and the other one had pre-term labor at 24 weeks and her baby fought.. Oh did he fight.. for 3 days and passed away. WHY??.. Sorry I don't want to bring depressive feelings here.. but God.. why these things happen to the greatest of women????

    anyways...

    I just want to say.. from the bottom of my heart.. very deep down in my big big heart... I LOVE you girls. Those TTCing I am wishing you the very best!! Those pregnant.. May you have a healthy and beautiful baby when you're due.


    I will be here.. lurking still.. but as I was reading I felt so touched that many of you remembered me .. (I'm tearing up) THANK YOU ♥

    I LOVE YOU GIRLS!!!!!

    Ruthie - I'm so sorry that stupid AF hasn't shown up yet - you'd think she'd know by now when she is wanted and when she is not And as for you your friends probably the only good thing about it is that they have an understanding friend in you...take care of yourself hey?

    fifi - I thought DD's first movements were wind too LOL I'll bet that's what you are feeling! (movements that is not wind ) Yay! GL for your 20 wk scan.

    Mel1979 - Glad to hear the FS visit went well. They are probably going to just check your progesterone on day 22 - that will tell them whether you have ovulated or not) and I'd say they'd be checking FSH on day 1 or 2 - that checks your ovarian reserves. Good luck and hope it all goes well for you!

    Tam83 - Hope the pessaries do the trick for you! I have used them for LP support for a few cycles and all they do is increase your progesterone levels to help support the pregnancy. They are a bit icky - I definitely recommend lying down for about 20 or 30 mins after you put one in (TMI I know...but you will get less errrr "leakage") and a panty liner is a must! Good luck.

    plc - Hi there! Thanks for the well wishes, here's hoping this little one sticks. It was a very good embryo according to the lab so I hope so!

    WTH - Awww thanks hun Have got fingers, toes and everything else crossed for your little embies today! BTW have just eaten half a punnet of strawberries! LOL Yummo...

    HannahD - Yay for the good feeling! All the best for your TWW!

    buliej - Thanks for the sticky vibes hope you are OK today...

    Jen - Thanks heaps! I just looked at your chart and sig, I'm so sorry hun #$#^%$ AF!!

    babymiracles - You are 2 days ahead of me I think aren't you? When was your transfer - Friday? I'm due for AF on the 27th anyway and have an appt with my FS for the next day to talk about the next cycle - here's hoping we won't need it. Will probably have a BT done that day I guess. Good luck!

    AFM - Nothing much happening, I actually feel the most relaxed I have felt about things for months! I think because everything was so stressful leading up to the embryo transfer I guess. I'm having HCG injections for LP support, so no early POAS for me! Just have to wait it out.

    Megsmum: Thank you girl ♥

    BAD NEWS!!!!

    My husband was laid (sp?) off today....(from work) meaning no HI and my baby dreams just won't happen for now. It hurts ever so much.. I cried so much today and even threw away the onesie and baby socks I had for my angel bubba... but I have put on my big girl panties.. and I have to suck it up. I cannot let this ruin everything. My husband is applying for unemployment and food stamps tomorrow, he might go back to the computer technician thing he used to do.. so maybe things will work out soon. Please.. pray for us.
    We will both have to figure out what we will do. We are both sending resumes everywhere.. so hopefully despite the horrible economy.. maybe we both can get a job soon.
    Please pray for us.. as hard times are coming.

    I am going to stay strong.. I know we can get out of this. I know 2009 has good things for us.

    Love you all.

    Ruthie - What a year you've had. I'm send you the biggest that I can possibly send. Looking at the bright side. 2009 has to be better (it can't get any worse).

    We had one of those years in 2007 (2008 has been much better - 2009 will be great )


    Megsmum - Glad to hear the the transfer went well - that it will be one little sticky bub.

    Fifi - great work on cleaning out the dumping ground. Soon to be known as baby fifi's room for you.

    Jen - for you. I'm always thinking about you.

    Tam - Rest up, hopefully the meds will do the trick for you too.

    Mel - Happy Anniversary. Hope you get the best present (a little bit late)

    PLC & Smi - *wavin. Hi there.

    To all those that I missed - Hello

    A quick post for TAM - I used progesterone pessaries last PG. Progesterone, natural or given, can give you PMT-like symptoms, eg: headaches, sore breasts, elevated body basal temp, etc. It made my checks really rosey, too! I found them to be very effective - chose to insert them at night at bed as you need to lay down at least 1/2 an hour for them to absorb. Take care, WTH x

    Hannah--Good for you for being so positive! Wishing you the best of luck for your TWW!



    WTH--The fires are actually about an hour south from where I live--I could smell it today! But no worries, there's lots of open land between me and them! You're sweet for asking about me--thanks! *hugs* Congrats on your 4 I'm so super happy for you! Will say lots of prayers for a successful Thursday!



    plc--Thanks again for the great pic! *kiss* Sending you lots of since I didn't get to give them to you in person!



    Tam--Hope the Progesterone pessaries help! Find your Zen, hon, and keep your faith!



    Mel--Happy 2nd Anniversary! And during your fertile time, even! Better get those baby dancing shoes on, and get ready for some Lot's of luck!



    fifi--Hey girlie girl! *blowing kisses*



    Ruthie--Aww, hon... sorry to hear about DH's job! 2008 has been a rough year for you--I think you could use about a thousand of these



    Megsmum--Thanks... yeah, she's a witch! She showed up completely unannounced, too, and is not being very nice this month! Grrr!

    Glad to hear you're feeling so relaxed--saying lots of for that little embie of yours!



    mollycat--Wow, your coverline just kinda snuck in there this month! A little early this month, too, isn't it? Keeping my no matter what!!

    Jen - i don't believe that coverline at all. I think it will change. Definately too early. But oh well, whatever will be, will be.

    Glad the fires aren't too close. Hate to think what our summer season will be like this year, we normally have fires around us. Hopefully they won't be anything like what you guys have over there.
