Jen Jen...... You will pick me up with the shot gun in the trunk.... hun that s not the most inviting comment I ve heard.... "i ll meet you at the airport... I ll have me shot gun"
Milla..... My AP points changed depending on what else she was treating at the same time.... there was a stage where I had a sore back as well so while I was there she did the cycle treatment on my back instead....... She also used stuff that she puts on top of the pin which burns.... wasnt funny though when I started having a coughing fit.... she freaked
tutmae...hope everything goes well for your appointment hun
Tam83.... no worries hun.... i ll put the kettle on for you too..... Have FUN with marathon.... I m sure DH is hanging out for his own marathon.... so much so he will probably be the one to take me to the Dr..... He was already saying tonight that he wants me taking more time off work..... but you should see what he s done to our office while I ve been away.... told him i wont be leaving him there unsupervised again
BB..... ohhh dont you worry hun... i know your not a "mess with" type of gal..... me may be silly but me not stupid ... give bug a lugs an extra rub for Aunty Angel... she s a lucky little bubby with an amaizing mummy
Now Jen Jen back to you.... I am so going to agree with BB..... cept i m gonna call you mother chicken instead of mother hen... and BB... I ll show you the picture of Krystie, Myself and Chicken lady... and you ll understand..... But Jen Jen..... Sometimes the glue needs to be held together in order to be able to be the glue again.... love you hun..... and i m going to recommend HEAPS of chocolate and a couple of drinkies.
Mummy of 3 boys......... extra special hug to you as well ..... today must have been hell for you but you were there......
Well now I m stuffed.... I asked DH to go to bed while I posted so he would be asleep by the time i was finished, its the only way he can get to sleep at the moment with my coughing....so he went upstairs, to bed I thought, but came back downstairs having had a shower and made me a cup of tea. Now what am i going to do ..... I ll have to go to bed at the same time and he wont be able to get to sleep....grrrrr..... and no the tea doesnt have honey in it.... we woke through the night the other night from coughing and he came downstairs and tried to make me a tea and put honey in it... I was like... love you baby but no chance in hell am i drinking tea and honey again.....
i've had such a horrible morning! I woke up to find i had started bleeding. i sat there and cried and thought this is all happening again.
DF and i got dressed and headed straight to a&e. everyone was so lovely, apart from the non english speaking doctor, who by the way sneezed in her hand with no gloves on, then continued to examine me!!!! tbh i couldve done a better examination myself.
we hhad my scan pulled forward to today (that was a struggle, she was going to make me wait till my booked in one tomorrow!) we went down and had a scan, bub is ok!!!!
they are not sure where the bleeding came from, couldnt see anyhting in scan, and it now has stopped.
got some wonderful pics of bub too, when he (yes i think it a he!) ventually sat still, was flipping all over the place.
i will get them scanned in and pop them on here somewhere.
they have also told me i'm further along than i thought, im actually 14 weeks and 3 days, instead of the 12 weeks and 5 i thought i was. my due date has now changed to 18th April.
FiFi..... Terrible way to start the day but what an amaizing way to end it (well not quite the end of the day of you but you know what i mean) You got to see your beautiful little bubs and you escaped that 12week at the same time....... I m thrilled for you hun
Okay so CD1 was 10/17/2008 and my period was very strange to say the least this month...medium flow on day 1 and virtually none after that...it's always pretty light but this time was just different so yesterday and today I am having cramps that would lead me to believe I'm gonna go to bathroom and find my panties soiled...NOTHING...I took a test today BFN so I am not sure what's going on...now this afternoon I go potty and gobs of ewcm...literally gobs...there is no way I am ovulating my period just ended 2 days ago...anyone ever had this happen?
Smi...... I think I ve got it sussed...... Your system is confused! It was packing its things and going into hybernation. It thought there was no more for a while. So on went its winter woolies and it curled up and got comfy for hybernation and went night nite. You know when you waken from a deep sleep you are all doppy like.... well you and lee woke it.... its doppy as all hell and doesnt have a clue whats going on maybe its dreaming... maybe wishful thinking.....its confused as all hell girl....... You might need to sit down and have a chat with it.... let it know whats happening....
Hope you don't mind me dropping in again. I have been lurking in background and reading many of the posts - even though I haven't been posting I have found your thoughts and comments of great value and support.
Wishing everyone lots of
Anyway I just wanted to see if anyone has any ideas about what is going on with me at the moment. I miscarried on the 5th Sept, had a D & C afterwards and two weeks following that had AF. I then did ovulation test and ovulated day 18/19. Am currently day 35 and no AF yet. Did a home pregnancy test this morning and . Not sure what to do now - probably just wait and see if she shows up soon. It is frustrating as I need to wait for next AF to book on for next IVF cycle (frostie tranfer). If anyone has any advice or has had similar experience would love to hear from you. My cycle is normally between 28 and 31 days.
Also special thanks to Jen (what a honey you are my dear) for remember me in your list of hellos the other day - thought I would be long forgotten by now.
Me (37) DH (50) Sep 5 08 (6 weeks 4 days)
waiting on frostie transfer with IVF
Baby miracles, I am no expert on this, but just want to put in my two cents worth if I may? Perhaps what you experienced two weeks after your D&C was a "withdrawal bleed". It means your hormones (particularly estrogen) have come right down after your loss. Technically, it is sort of a period, because the lining of your uterus is shedding. I cannot explain the O test, but your first "normal" period is said to come 4-6 weeks after your D&C. I will happily be corrected on this. But I am sure AF is just around the corner, hon
So behind on persies.... will do shortly .. x

Tutmae - WOW! I can't believe you are 15 weeks. You must have such a beautiful little bump now. How did your first antenatal go?
Fifi - so glad your scan went well today!
RachelSwirl -
Angel - will continue to use my voice as per your instructions. You would have been proud of me before my FS appointment. I was prepared for battle - to have all guns blazing. Deep breaths. "I am in control, I will not be a walkover". Was so psyched up. But in the end we just had a really good chat (I hate being hurried at these type of appointments). We covered everything I wanted to and I "got my way" to start a new cycle when AF arrives next week.
Tam - good luck with your egg-catching marathon. Curious what your new diet involves?
Milla - I replied today on the other thread about B12 & B6. Regarding your hysteroscopy - I was to have one when I went through my MC program. They purposely do them on Day 9 of your cycle so it does not interfere with O or implantation/new pregnancy. So maybe you will be fine to DTD this weekend (have fun). I loved what you wrote about Randine Lewis' book. It was just the pick me up I needed. Can I ask what herbs you are on?
Smi - good luck with your fresh start. I have only had four AF's this year (due to two failed PG's), but my cycle was a little like that. Sometimes just 3 days light AF. Then 3 days nothing. Then it would come back for maybe 24-48 hours. Just very light. I would have cramping too. I had a BT last cycle and we found I am having an estrogen dip 3 days after AF. The hormone drop is making me bleed. I hope this is not the case for you and you are just having one of those off-months (maybe an anovulatory - very common)
Jen - Oh the damn AF. Stupid cow. Doesn't AF know she is not welcome in our circle!? Hey, with the whole lunar cycle thing, are we aiming for a full moon when we BD/fertilise/O or implant (6 to 10 days after O)? I think I have had a full moon between O and (potential) implantation... what do you think?
PLC - congratulations on reaching your 3rd Trimester
MummyOf3 - wretched AF. Like I said to Jen, she is not welcome in our gang!!
JoniSteve - glad you are feeling better. For the record, I am the Queen of Impatience. I hope the days become sunnier for you
Mollycat - Hi there. How's things?
MegsMum - You Rock!
AFM - I'm fine. 7 DPO. Took my second HCG trigger (given for luteal phase support) on Monday night. It has given me very evil Poor DH...
babymiracles - I have had similar happen after my m/c, AF up to 10 days late and BFN on HPT. It's happened a couple of times before I started any treatment with my clinic. Not a lot of consolation I know but I also would ring your clinic if you are worried. I hope things sort themselves out soon for you.
fifi - I'm so sorry you had a scare hun But fantastic news that everything is OK! Crossing all my fingers for you for no more bleeding
WTH - Thanks!
Hi Angel, HannahD, smi, Jen (cycle buddy!) tutmae, Tam83, Milla, MO3B and plc! And hi to anyone else that I have missed.
AFM, still nothing much happening, 10DPO today and hoping that AF stays away! If she doesn't I have the go ahead from my FS to do a short cycle of IVF straight away yay! No more waiting And I'm so happy - I didn't have to ring the FS and grovel to get my way LOL
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.
Hi ladies! Just popping in briefly as I have dessert waiting for me (lemon meringue pie ... yum!)
Jen - I am so sorry the biiiaaaaartch AF showed up for you. I reckon this time you would have given her enough of a kicking she will be too scared to show up for another 9 months
Fifi - what a huge fright that must have been ..... but great news to hear that not only was everything ok, but you got to jump almost 2 weeks ahead! Every pg lady's dream!
afm - doing ok, managing to keep the zen as thankfully there has been no more bleeding/spotting. Have had some very queasy moments, but don't think m/s is here in full force yet. The psycho pg bb monster has visited though ... my nipples .... yikes!! Sorry if tmi!
Counting down till my scan ... 9 more sleeps
Everyone else... lots of love, great big hugs, tonnes of I think we're due for a big run of bfp's very soon...
WTH...thanks for your input...AF is ALWAYS about 3 days light minimal cramps (heck a lot of times I don't even know until I go potty) but never has it been 1 day and spotting...just very weird this cycle
Sorry about you PMS...poor DH...I am glad to hear you are doing fine
babymiracles..it took a mighty long time for me to get AF after my d/c (like 6 weeks)
Mel...my periodshave always been the same...no change even after m/c and d/c in December 07...when AF finally showed it was right back to normal for me...this cycle has just been strange for me...
Angel - You're not wrong about being pushy LOL but thanks for the crossed fingers. I think I'll hold out until BT day which is next Mon, assuming AF doesn't arrive in the meantime. I don't have any HPTs in the house anymore (phew!!) so have removed the temptation so to speak And with my last HCG injection only being on Mon just gone, I'm worried that if I test early and get a BFP I might be setting myself up for disappointment KWIM? But I am starting to get that impatient feeling LOL
Jen - Good to hear everything is going well Good luck for your scan!
Mel - Here's hoping that everything is getting back to normal for you! Are you TTC this month? Good luck if you are
Angel--As usual, you were there for me at a time when I needed you the most! I'll never in a million years be able to repay you for everything you've done for me--truly, I mean it from the bottom of my heart! Thanks for everything--thanks just sounds so small.... but thanks! I would never believe that someone that I've never met face to face, and have known for such a short amount of time, could have such a strong impact on my life! I'll love ya forever! Sorry, but you're stuck with me forever now! (oops, I just apologized again! lol...)
plc--Thanks so much for your e-mail! It meant a lot to me to know that you care!
Sorry, I know it's a measly attempt at posting..... will try to do better tomorrow.... just had to tell 2 of the Fab 4 thanks for being so great! Don't know where I'd be without you!
Ok, but now I feel guilty.......
fifi--Woo hoo! Saw your awesome pics in the gallery! So happy for you that all turned out well after your scare!
babymiracles--Anytime, hon! *hugs*
WTH--If you Google Jonas Method, then click on the one that says Conception Calculator and Baby Gender Predictor it will explain his theory.... doesn't have to do with a full moon, it says that women "can also conceive at the moment when lunar phase in the sky (i.e. angle between the Moon and the Sun) reproduces the phase which was at the moment of their birth". So you enter in your birth date, time, and time zone you were born in, and it can calculate when you're most likely to get pg each month. Check it out--it's interesting reading!
Ok, have to run up to the market real quick.... will try to finish persies when I get back. for all!
marathon.... I m sure DH is hanging out for his own marathon.... so much so he will probably be the one to take me to the Dr..... He was already saying tonight that he wants me taking more time off work..... but you should see what he s done to our office while I ve been away.... told him i wont be leaving him there unsupervised again
maybe its dreaming... maybe wishful thinking.....its confused as all hell girl....... You might need to sit down and have a chat with it.... let it know whats happening....
. Not sure what to do now - probably just wait and see if she shows up soon. It is frustrating as I need to wait for next AF to book on for next IVF cycle (frostie tranfer). If anyone has any advice or has had similar experience would love to hear from you. My cycle is normally between 28 and 31 days.
Sep 5 08 (6 weeks 4 days)
Poor DH...
but I also would ring your clinic if you are worried. 
And I'm so happy - I didn't have to ring the FS and grovel to get my way LOL
for you - Best of luck!
So happy for you that all turned out well after your scare!
