Jen - . One thing I will say is that at least he/she waited until the carnival was over. I'm so sorry. Have a great night sleeping, we'll deal with AF/UF tomorrow.
Smi - You'll have to tell your son his album name must be "Son of Smi" so we'll all know who he is and buy his music LOL

Jen- How dare AF for showing up. UF LOL. Like you I also renamed her the other night to "Aunt F*** off I wanna be utd" I think AF should be banned!!! Grrrr what a biyatch! I am still suffering through mine, heavy as ever, I am bloated like a whale and eating everything is sight but I justify it as I am eating for two... AF & ME! Take care of yourself hun
Fifi- So how are your puppy dogs(lol) doing? Are they still alive after trashing your house? I have asked a couple of people down here if they know what chinchillas are. Some say a sort of Taco, others a mexican plant but I am the only one who thought they were a breed of dog. Weird! LOL! All the best for tomorrows scan hunny bunny boo, I am sure all will fine, but I do understand why you are nervous. Just think the more nervous you get the more releived you will be when your little bubba gets the all clear. I probably won't be on tonight but will try and catch you in the next day or two. XOXOXOXOXO
Angel- Have you gone to the doctor yet? You have been sick for way to long girl. You need to take care of yourself. I am hoping in your next post you will say how you are on the mend or how the doctor gave you this or that. Otherwise I might march right on over there and kick your little butt all the way to the doctors. - But then again if I walked all that way I doubt I would be able to lift my leg at let alone to butt level LOL Look after yourself Angel and I look forward to chatting with you again soon.
Molly- I am loving the emails, keep them coming. Hopefully someone will send me some goodies that I can forward onto you this week.
2 dogs- I noticed today that you only have 81 days left til bubs is born. WOOHOO!!! I also noticed that bubs is a girl. Heres another WOOHOO for you. Yes I know it's probably been there a while, but I am Tasmanian so I am a little slow LOL
Jonisteve- Don't feel like you are strange for being impatient, I have found that most women are. I know I definatly am a lot worse than most whether it be when driving, waiting for test results ,in the supermarket or now waiting to be blessed with a baby. I want it to happen now, or to know exactly when it will happen. it will happen for you soon.
HannahD- I have alot of respect for your decision of pausing ttc. Get everything else under control and then when you are stress free and ready to try again it will probably happen alot quicker. Take care and I hope things work out ok with your mum.
Megsmum- Big amount of coming your way.
Tam- I hear you loud and clear on the diet thing. I think it's also something to with the word diet that makes us not wanna stick to them. At least you have a big reason to stay motivated and stick to it, but if you can't don't feel bad becasue you aren't the only one
Hello to everyone else out there
AFM Well today is over.We went and showed oursupport to Riley's mummy and daddy. Another little is in heaven. It was so hard, because all I wanted to do was make the pain go away for them. And tell them that it does get easier. But i know from experience that doesn't help.
It was difficult to keep Riley's funeral separate in my mind from when I lost Dom. They had the same music and poems that we used for our angel. Somehow I stayed strong until DH and I got to the car then I broke which made him break.
I think we are going to have a very quiet one tonight, we both feel so drained and like we have been hit by a truck.
Mummy of 3boys........... Piggy...... Oink.... I would love to be able to say I went to the Doctors..... but the issue is I dont like Doctors..... I went in to one once with a severe case of Bronchitis (who cares about spelling.... sorry jen and co) anyway..... they insisted it wasnt and that I must have been having an anxiety or panic attack. I had anxiety cause the "wonderful human" wouldnt listen to me while I was coughing up a lung or 2. He sent me home with no medication and said if it wasnt better in 2 days to come back..... I WENT BACK So no .... havent been yet. I normally wait until its at the stage where I have no choice... and then off i go. You are however welcome to come up here to kick my butt.... let me know when to expect you and I ll put the kettle on (_)b
Jen Sorry to hear AF showed up keep your chin up girl I know how difficult it is and the disappointment each month when the b**ch shows up. I hope you are feeling a bit better tomorrow. I told DH that you also use the word awesome and he didn't believe me so I showed him you post and he laughed. I said see nothing wrong with my vocabulary
Angel I will be up in QLD soon so dont tempt me. I will turn up with doctor for a house call if your not better soon
MO3B My heart goes out to your friends I can't imagine how they would be feeling and for you to attend and be so strong after having a similar situation must have been heart wrenching. I hope that tomorrow is a brighter day and you and DH are feeling better
I told DH today about all the things the AP wanted me to change in my diet. DH said it sounds a bit overboard as he doesn't think my diet is that bad. I tried the rye bread as she said to cut out all bread even though I was eating wholemeal she still said that's terrible Well the rye bread was yuck actually I wouldn't even call it bread. I have increased my vegetable intake that wasn't hard to do.
smilanatu Glad to hear that the regionals went well and that you made it to the semi-finals. Sending you lots of AF sounds strange this month are they usually like that?
fificlaire Wishing you the best of luck tomorrow with your u/s hope it will give you some reassurance.
AFM Same old same old getting ready for the marathon. No sign of ovulation yet temp's still down. that the clomid does it's job and I ovulate earlier.
Jen - oh no, the b!tch ! Why couldn't she stay away this time??? So sorry to hear the news...
Treat yourself with a nice glass of red wine and a box of chocolates. That diet usually works for me during AF time
I had a positive O test yesterday and today since I'm on the TCM treatment, I O again on day 14/15 like I used to do when I was younger. During the last 2 years, my O happened later, around day 16/17, but the herbs and the acupuncture seem to have sorted that out - we'll see in 2 weeks...
Sorry I haven't posted for a few days so I am a little behind but I will try to include everyone in this post. First time writing persies so here goes.....(apologies to anyone I miss!)
Angel - Get yourself to the Dr! Just because you had a bad experience with one doesn't mean you shouldn't be checked out this time. Just go to another surgery. If you have an infection you will need anti-biotics or it will linger on for weeks. I have to admit I am being slightly selfish with this request as all us girls rely on your wonderful words of support so we can't have you being sick!
Milla - I have my for you - Best of luck!
Mummy of 3 boys - So sorry to hear about your friends loss. It must have been such a hard day for you as well. Big hugs.
Jen - Thanks so much for all your kind words you have posted to me. Sorry to hear AF showed up - Damn her!!! I agree with the other girls, chocolate and wine usually make me feel a little better when she rears her ugly head!
Fificlaire - Wow, so glad it all went well. Congratulations! It must have been terrifying when you woke up but what a great surprise to know you are further along than previously thought. Just means you a couple of weeks closer to being a Mum. Very exciting!
smilanatu - Sorry I can't help with your question but every since my m/c my periods have never really been the same. They usually last for day, two at the most and I have sometimes had pregnancy symptoms which gets my hopes up only for AF to show up. I really think it takes a while for your body to get back to normal.
Megs Mum - So happy for you. Best of luck!
Hi to plc1805, Tam83, tutmae, baby miracles, where there's hope and anyone else I have missed!
As for myself, I am trying not to get my hopes up but I am CD16 of my cycle and I have been having cramps and ovulation pain today. Before the m/c I used to always know when i was ovulating but my this is the first month since the m/c that my body feels back to normal and I am getting the pains I used to get. I am so hoping it is a good sign.
and sorry this will be a short message - have to run. WTH: many thanks for your reply re B6/B12 - I don't know exactly what herbs I am on, my doctor varies the composition but there are a few things that seem to be consistent, like Rhemannia and white peony (I recognized them from pictures I've seen on the Internet). They taste awful.
For all you ladies who want to be more proactive in your TTC phase: I had a very interesting phone consultation yesterday with a nutritionist from Randine Lewis' website (If you google her name, you'll find the website). It a 50 minute consultation. Before the consultation you send them tons of information on your health, eating habits and medical history. I decided to do it because the last few weeks have been very difficult in terms of emotions, and I suspect I was going through some kind of postpartum depression (apparently that happens also after m/c's, especially to women who don't have children yet). I would just cry all day and felt totally withdrawn from normal life and extremely helpless.
She gave me lots of valuable information, tips on relaxation and meditation. She said I should try and go for 30 days without wheat and dairy. I've tried that once and it made me feel great, so I will get it another shot. Also advised to take omega 3's every day and have a min 30 light physical activity like walking. Will let you know how it works out.
Oh, and I tried the Preseed this cycle! Love it
Lots of to everyone and to all you pregnant ladies
Mel1979....I actually went to get the phone number for the Dr out of my purse today.... wasnt in there, appparently DH took it out when he had to get a referal to the FS so its on his desk in the office....... laughed at your motive..... but no need to worry there...everyone gets my opinion regardless of whether I m sick or well and somes even whether they want it or not Good to hear or your twinges..... I m the opposite... I never used to feel ovulation until after I had all the endo taken out. Now it twinges away and i ve been known to look over at DH and go "ohhhhhh my ovaries" which he finds highly amuzing.
megsmum.... 4 days to go and i have everything crossed for you So are you going for a POAS or straight to a BT....... Maybe a blood test on Friday Yeah I know... i m pushy hey
Where there's hope..........You go girlfriend..... your in control... your in control.... ...... As for my poor DH has pretty much had it for 18 months with all the different treatments I ve been on ...... I m sure he is looking forward to the break
babymiracles....Welcome back hun......Lurk as much as you want.... sometimes if I dont post i feel like I m stalking the thread .... but hey.... doesnt really matter does it... stalk.. post... lurk... whatever... its all good. As for your cycle.... from what I can gather it seems to takes about 2 months of AF before your cycle gets back to what you are used to. It still functions during those 2 months but the normal cycle seems to take a couple of months to come back. Probably doesnt help you much but I thought I would throw it in.
