Oh the little Biatch...seriously...I m sick of her...Getting my shot gun out and I m on my way over girl...... get the towels out cause i m swimming and will need to dry off when i get there........ hopefully the gun doesnt get to water logged..... hmmm thought... anyone know where I can get hold of a waterproof shot gun......
Hugs hun..... I wont even call you Granny Jen tonight.... Love ya :hug:
Jen - :grouphug:. 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
Oh jen I'm so sorry :hug:
That unwelcome little biatch has shown her face just too many times this month. I'm with Angel...where's the waterproof shotgun?
Oh Jen :hug: Stooooopid AF!!!! You'd really think that she'd get the idea that she is just not wanted around here! Take care of yourself hey?
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. :crossfingers: 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 :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: 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:redface:
Hello to everyone else out there :grouphug:
AFM Well today is over.We went and showed oursupport to Riley's mummy and daddy. Another little :angel: 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. :crying:
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.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOX
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 :o 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 - I'll be the life raft that takes everyone over with their shot guns for AF/UF (I fit the bill size wise at the mo). Honey, you don't have to always be mother hen, just be true to jen, feel what you gotta feel - so sorry hun :hug:
angel - dr BB to the rescue with her honey tea (along with mo3b and her big boots)...c'mon i won't take no for an answer...ur not the only bossy bb on this thread LOL. Seriously look after urself sweet.
mo3b - sorry for the day you had - big hugs hun.
Jen Sorry to hear AF showed up :comfort: 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 :lol:
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 :D
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 :hug:
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 :o 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 :goodluck: 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 :bd: marathon. No sign of ovulation yet temp's still down. :pray: that the clomid does it's job and I ovulate earlier.
Jen - oh no, the b!tch ! :angry: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:dance: 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...
fingers crossed;)
Jen: Obviously I'm going to have to up my hulk stylings on AF's a**. She just isn't getting the hint. Oh, but she wil *laughs evilly*. Big :hug: and virtual choccie cake for you darlin!
AFM: Have my first antenatal appt tomorrow and am hoping all goes well. Will let all you lovely girles know.
:bluedust::pink-babydust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: for all!!
tam, so what's the new diet like? no wheat and more veggies?
by the way, every time I go to my clinic for AP, they slightly modify the AP points they use- when I was pregnant, they only treated me on the back. now it's sometimes on the front (abdomen, legs, feet) but last time it was on the back and on the knees. not sure what they are doing but it seems to work;) (see my previous post)
smi--Congrats on the regionals! Moving on to semi-state! :dance: Good luck!
joni--Some :hug: for you!
Angel--You swim--I've got the towels and the shotgun! :rofl: Better yet, just fly out and I'll pick you up at the airport with the shotgun in the trunk!
mollycat--I said the same thing--that at least she waited until the carnival was over.... there always has to be a silver lining somewhere! Thanks! *hugs*
Hannah, megsmum, & Rachel--Thanks, girls! I appreciate your support! :grouphug:
MO3B--Aww, hon... the funeral had to be so tough on you! :comfort: You're amazingly strong to be able to support your friends after what you've been through! Rest in peace, little Riley.... fly free.
plc--You always say the right things at the right time! Thanks, I really appreciate you! :hug:
Milla--Yay on the +O!! Hope you've got those BD'ing shoes on! :bd: Good luck catching that egg!
Thanks, tut! *hugs* Good luck with your appt tomorrow! I'm sure all will be perfect!
Toccara--Thinking of you and sending you lots of hugs!
jenushka--Hope you and your little bean are doing well! :stickyvibesgirl:
AJC--I was lurking in PAML.... congrats on your great scan!
Krystie--Hey mate... thinking of you and wishing you're feeling better! *hugs*
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" :ROFL:
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:lol:
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 :bd: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:rolleyes:
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:bellyrubs:
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.:thumbsup:
Mummy of 3 boys......... extra special hug to you as well ..... today must have been hell for you but you were there...... :hug:
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.....
hey ladies,
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!!!!
:pray:
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.
So thank god everything is ok!
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
hey ladies,
i have calmed down a bit from this morning.
just to let you know i have placed the scan photos in the gallery, under ultrasound.
Guidance please...
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? :wall:
Fifi - So glad that bubs is okay...even though he gave you quite a scare.
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 :bd: 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....
Other than that..... I have no idea:doh:
Hi everyone:loveshower:
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 :pink-babydust:
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 :bfn:. 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.:dunno:
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.:hug:
Me (37) DH (50)
:angel: 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 - :stickyvibesboy:
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 :clap:
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 :hug:
Mollycat - Hi there. How's things? :D
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 :pms: 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. :hug: 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! :redface:
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 :dance: And I'm so happy - I didn't have to ring the FS and grovel to get my way LOL
Hi everyone,
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 :crossfingers: 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.:hug:
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! :pray:
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.
Better go and start dinner........
Lots of :bluedust::pink-babydust: to everyone.
Hello everyone,
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 :bluedust::pink-babydust: to everyone and :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: 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 :crossfingers: So are you going for a POAS or straight to a BT....... Maybe a blood test on Friday :rolleyes: Yeah I know... i m pushy hey
Where there's hope....:hooray::hooray:......You go girlfriend..... your in control... your in control....:hooray::hooray: ...... As for :pms: 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 ;) :hug:
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! :tmi:
Counting down till my scan ... 9 more sleeps :crossfingers:
Everyone else... lots of love, great big hugs, tonnes of :bluedust::pink-babydust: I think we're due for a big run of bfp's very soon...
Happy Hump Day Gurlies!
Angel...WOW :ROFL: Could be...
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 :hug:
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...
jen...plc...AJC...mollycat...jenushka...tutmae...R achel...hey gurlies!!!
:bluedust::pink-babydust:
:stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
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 :)
A big hi to everyone else! :)
Angel--As usual, you were there for me at a time when I needed you the most! :hug: 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! :hug:
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! :grouphug:
Ok, but now I feel guilty.......
fifi--Woo hoo! Saw your awesome pics in the gallery! :leap: 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. :grouphug: for all!
Hi all,
I haven't had a chance to read many of these posts because there are stacks!!
I have a question that many of you may able to help me with:
I miscarried (had a D&C as baby had died) yesterday and am coping as best as I can.
How long after did you all try to concieve again after your losses?
I obviously want to start ASAP, but will only do so if it's "safe".
Thanks all,
Allyce.
Hi everyone.
Seems this thread has gone quiet again.
WTH - Poor DH, nothing worse then :pms:, especially when it's been induced.
Megsmum - :noaf: just for you. Hoping your BT comes out "positive"
I'm having such trouble typing, my fingers are just so cold. It's rainy and almost winter weather here. So if there's any mistakes, we'll just blame the cold.
Jen - here's something just for you:hug:. It is so frustrating, month after month of AF showing up at your door. I understand how you are feeling, I've had over ten years of them.
Jenushka - Zen - glad to hear there's been no more spotting/bleeding. Just hoping it was bub settling in tight.
Smi - *wavin* at you. Love the emails
MO3B - love your emails too.
Angel - hope your feeling better - if not get yourself to the doctors - you've been sick for too long.
Hello to PLC, Krystie, AJC, Fifi, Nickster (not long now), Rachel, Tutmae :bellyrubs:
Ruthie - hope you've managed to get the internet back on, (hopefully you'll be able to find us).
:bluedust::pink-babydust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: for everybody.
Mumma&Bubba's - :welcome:. I'm so sorry for your loss and that you've had to join us. To answer your question, there's different thoughts on that one. Some will say you can try again on your next cycle, others will say to wait one cycle then TTC. I didn't have a D&C with my loss, so i'm not sure on that one, there will be someone here that can tell you.
As one wise woman on here says "One day at a time" is all you can do as far as "coping". Remember we all grieve in different ways, some will be very good, others will not. It's okay whatever you do. We're all here for you to lean on, to listen to you, to vent at, to commisserate (sp) with and to celebrate with.
Thank you mollycat,
It's not a pleasant time in your life to experience but it's an experience nonetheless, huh?
Thanks for the kind words, good luck with your attempts for baby :)

megsmum--Cycle bud, my :crossfingers: so hard for you right now! I'm saying major prayers and sending you lots of :SAAF: vibes!
Mel--Sounds like it's :bd: time! Glad to hear your body's getting back to normal!
Milla--The Preseed really does feel like egg whites, doesn't it? Good luck with the new diet--that would be a tough one for me!
Angel-- Ok, the Preseed brought up memories of EWCM! :rofl:
jenushka--So excited for your scan! :dance:
smi--Hey girl! :hug: Thanks for keeping the e-mails coming! I'd send you a lot more, but I can always see your name up at the top, so know you get most of the same ones I do! I'll send 'em as I get some from non BB-lonians!
mollycat--Thanks for your e-mails as well... I needed the laughs today! :hug:
MO3B--Have been enjoying your e-mails, too, thanks! ;)
Ok, girls.... that's it for me.... I'm off to bed. Sweet dreams!
mollycat - Thanks for the no AF vibes :) You're not wrong about it being cold here! I have had the heater on all day :redface: and went outside earlier to pop some washing under my deck outside to dry (ha ha!) and couldn't get back inside fast enough LOL
Allyce - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss :hug: I had a m/c at 12 weeks (baby had passed some weeks before) with virtually no bleeding until the day I found out :( It was a huge shock, and I had a D&C the next day. I was advised by my ob to wait for AF to return and give the lining a chance to recover, then we could start trying again so that's what we did. But like mollycat said, there is heaps of conflicting advice out there. I had someone tell me as much as 6 months :o As if I could wait that long! Anyway I HTH, and welcome to our group - they are a wonderful bunch of ladies :) Take care of yourself.
Jen - Thanks! I'm hoping really hard, but I just don't know...will just have to see over the next few days I guess. I've got no idea really when to expect AF because of the HCG injections I have had. It would be an absolute dream come true to fall pg on a failed IVF cycle!! Night, night :)
Megsmum, WTH, and Angel
Thanks so much for your advice/experiences. I know I just have to be patient - but boy it is difficult isn't it? Feel like I am waiting for everything at the moment - wow what a whinger I am - we are all in the same boat I know. It is very nice to hear that my long cycle though is quite normal. I guess I was thrown by the LH surge on day 18.
Mumma & Bubbas - I am soo sorry for your loss, :comfort: and hope your stay on this thread is very short. Just take one day at a time at the moment, allow yourself to grieve. I had a miscarriage not long ago too and my first question on this post was the same. I had my first AF 2 weeks after D and C so then started trying naturally the next cycle (this month). But cycle is all over the place and extra long - up to day 36 at the moment (no AF) so difficult to work out when and if I ovulated. Once I get AF, then fertility clinic has said I can have my next IVF cycle (so I guess for me it is 2 months after D & C. But I have heard of others falling pregnant the month after miscarrying so probably pretty individual). Not sure that helps sorry
Big hello and best wishes to everyone else - will try to lurk/stalk less:rofl: and get to know you all a bit better.:grouphug: Crazily busy work life at the moment so don't get an awful lot of time to post but will do what I can.:):)
Me (37) DH (50)
:angel: 5 september 2008 (6 weeks 4 days)
Waiting for AF to have frostie transfer
Thanks for all the advice that everyone has posted.
Looks like we are in a quite a similar boat babymiracles.
My cycle is all over the place too - between 25 and 35 days so I'm unsure as to when (and if) I ovulate also, that information has helped - so thanks you for your input - that goes for all :)
Take care all and good luck on your journeys!
Allyce.
mumma&bubbas - welcome hun and very sorry for your loss - it's just not fair that some babies don't make it and become our angels all too soon. Hun, I had D&Cs after both missed m/c's and waited til AF came before starting again. I also had a D&C with a hysteroscopy and dye studies and was advised to wait 2 cycles after that one. 1st cycle back TTC resulted in a much awaited BFP. Big hugs hun - feel free to be yourself here and vent away. The girls are here to support each other and I am here because I want to see everyone get their BFP too.
Hello everyone - esp to babymiracles, megsmum, wth, milla, mel who I feel I don't chat to often enough to but wish them the world!
Hey girls!
First things first, to all the newbies I'm sorry you've had to come here and hope your stay is nice and short.
WTH: I know! I can't believe I'm 15 weeks either! My belly has gone from resemblyng a basketball to spreading out sideways. It's big though. Eek! Big :hug: for ya hon!
AFM: I'm suffering from severe placenta brain at the moment and know that I was meant to write to other people, but I have drawn big blanks. Don't take it personally, I'm just very very slow at the moment. Antenatal appt went really well the other day. All of our test results looks great which is a big relief. When I asked if we would get "dopplered" the dr said she'd actually do a quick u/s for us as the doppler they had was useless. It was a really old basic u/s but we got a fantastic look at Button (even got a wave) and he/she was wriggling around and showing movements that were much more controlled than Lilah's. Was a big relief. The dr wants us to have our anatomy scan at the hospital so now we've moved it to 19th Nov, which is our wedding anniversary! Even though we have to wait a bit longer to see Button again and have our minds put at ease that there's no hydrocephalus it will be a wonderful anniversary present.
After we left the dr's I completely dropped and got all hormonal and moody and sad. I guess that's just pregnancy hormones or something, but poor DH had no clue what was wrong as everything had gone so wonderfully!
Anyways ladies, big "me" post over. I'll be back for those persies when my brain re-jigs.
Big hugs and love for all of you!
