CraftyMummy - I know waiting is the worst thing...
I missed so much in the forum. I dont have much clue about Vitex. Hows your health otherwise?
Snugglybean - your comment has made my day...I just can't stop laughing, i think we need a bit of laugh as well (your comment - Nothing to report here! AF still not showing up, but must be close. Watch this space for the latest from Channel SVN (Snuggly's Vagina News)
I did mention it to my DH... I said there is a ladies news channel named VN Network (Vagina News Network)....silly me....
With me, I am all back to normal...this is the O Week. I am using those OPK test kits..though i have never used them..but i am scared as well ...i think its natural...i had a little bit of red spot yesterday...i think my body has changed after m/c...heavy AF, spotting...but fingers crossed...i want to fall preg. in this cycle..anniversary is next month and i want to give good news to DH and also wish to celebrate my marriage anniversary with a good news.lets see...life is full of twist and turns...but hope for the best.
Babydust to everyone...
Will keep you updated.
I love you all ladies for your support and motivation.
Good day
Ric
Morning Ladies,Craftymummy-Sorry your cycles are still playing up.Are you using your 'o' sticks?My af has finished,clomid days have finished,I'll be poas on 'o' sticks from cycle day 12 to help with 'o' timing,asked about scans for tracking the egg,but fs said the 'o' sticks can give you the same info and is not as expensive & invasive.Maybe he thinks i'm a basket case and the less i see him the better for him,dh has been put on rations as fs thinks because last cycle i 'o'd late we depleted the sperm.hope we both 'o' soon...Emmy83-sorry for your losses,thank you for telling your journey so far,hope you get a good review today & be ttc soon.Ifind if i do something to symbolise the babies memory helps me,this christmas mine should of been 6 months(what fun that would of been)so with the donatations to the charity christmas trees this year we'll pick things for that age group in his memory.There are beautiful memorial ideas to do if that is what you finds helps you...Ric-glad to hear all is a go for you,i'm waiting for 'o' too.A bfp would make a great wedding anniversary present...Murraycodhope your enjoying your days off,been a drawn out cycle for you,fingers crossed for tomorrow...
Emm83 nice to meet you, thank's for introducing yourself here, looks like you have been through a rough long journey X Hope we can all make it a little easier for you, and share some support and babydust your way very soon X
Good luck with the appt today I hope you get good news.
HUGE hello to everyone! I'll do persies tomorrow evening when I get home from Scan Appt with FS.
Bit on edge today so going to take my 2 dogs down to the river for the afternoon, try keep my mind buisy.
I know I'm so late in my cycle, I honestly cant see the IUI going ahead.
Changed my ticker to the longest cycle possible for luck incase it's the go ahead tomorrow though!
Thanks for the welcomes. Goodluck Murraycod with your Scan Appt with the FS.
My appointment went really well. I am so happy at the moment which is the first time in a long time (since the ectopic anyway) The Gyno has booked me in for a lap and Dye studies and a hysteroscope and to cut abit of hymen of my you know what. Apparently it was caused from giving birth. Anyway I don't like it and it hurts sometimes DTD so its going yeah.
Well he said my remaining tube is inflammed. Hope its not infected but I have already desided months ago it was broekn so its not really news to me. He said he will have a look and see whats going on and deside from there if we try again naturally or start the IVF process. I am just so happy I have a time frame and things are moving forward finally after living in limbo land since the ectopic. And finally a Dr who is doing something for me not telling me to return in 12months. My surgery is booked for a months time so not too long to wait either. He could have done it in 3weeks but I should have AF and didn't want it done with AF although he said he could eeewwww. It sounded like he thought IVF was our best hope so we will see with anyluck we wont need it.
murraycod - you are online and me too...i know waiting for cycle sucks and a loong wait, adds cherry on top...i can understand, waiting is never good...dont worry...all be good soon..atleast you are engaging yourself in some activities...i am so lazy, dont want to do anything, & nothing.
bit of surprise that sun is shining here for a change.
hey, i have started taking elevit (folic acid and iron supp tablets) - to be healthy and gain some wait...i am over concerned about my weight as well (just touching 40 kg)
murraycod-i'm going to the lake this afternoon,hope we both find the water relaxing.Will be waiting to hear your news tomorrow,there is still hope even if it is a long cycle...Emmy-That is great news about your appointment,it's a relieve i think when the doc have a plan of action we can follow...ric-i have heard good reports about elevit i'm thinking about putting dh on the male version.Have you always been a low weight,wish i could give you some of mine as i have some to spare..
Oh hey all! Channel SVN is back in business - AF arrived while I was in Melbourne over the weekend. The trip was very eventful - first trip to see ILs and lots of fam and friends since we lost our baby. MIL and I had a big long cry together, SIL started screeching about her child's yogurt getting chucked out and picked a fight over it (some things never change) 2 friends and I sat an seriously talked about vaginas for 2 hours on Saturday - we didn't mean to, the topic just kept turning that way!
So, hopefully we can pull some good news out of this place soon!
Welcome emmy83 sorry for your loss and so glad you have some good news now and some kind of plan of action so to speak. Its so much better when you have a goal you are working towards. We are all a great bunch on here and we try to help where we can and have a laugh too.
Hi Ric glad your back on here and awaiting using your opk stiks you could very well be getting a BFP sooner than you think now then ! thanks for asking about me my health is good just had a bit of a cold the last week but all gone now. And Ive had no brown discharge since sat so hopefully I am getting back to normal (whatever normal is )
I am on the Natures own conception support supplements at the moment and only have a weeks supply left so don't know if I will change to VITEX or stick to the ones im on as DH is taking them too its a couple pack a his and hers if you like the his bit has zinc and such for the mens sperm and the womens has folic acid and so on for the ovulation thing, so IM hoping its done the trick the last 3 weeks and I will soon know where I am in my cycle.
Matthews mum thanks for thinking of me Ive not used the OP stiks yet as they didn't arrive in the post (damb ebay) and if I am correct I should be O yesterday or today so too late this month. But as I say still not sure of that anyway,
I don't think your a basket case your just determined to get it right and so you shall hopefully sooner rather than later ,
Murraycod enjoy your walk along the river and good luck for tomoro can't wait to hear your news !
SPfairy hope your ok and had your D&C nice and early then you will hopefully be home tonight in your own bed and on the count down now to TTC this time next week GIRL you will feel so much better I promise !
Everyone else and lets see a BFP we have to have one this month !
I definately have to check in every few days! So much to read and catch up on!!
Emma's Mum... I too have just started on Clomid 50mg. I have just had a blood test today (day 21) to see if I O and find out in about a week from FS if I did. But I dont think I have as the only sign was a brief pain in left side today. I'll just wait and see. Will increase my dosage to 100mg if I havent.
Snugglybean.... you're a classic! Channel SVN a funny way to put a fustrating topic!!
Has any one used the Maybe Baby Saliva test thing? I have one and not sure how reliable they are. Any one had any success with it?
Hi girl's just a quickie i'm off for a bubble bath Vitex has no iron ect so you still need to take your normal pre natal vitamins vitex is a hormone stablizer and ovulation promoter so it help's us but we still need all the goodie's for a healthy bub.
Loopyouie-i have a maybe baby and it worked like a gem when trying to get pregnant with abbi but when i have used it lately it has not been so good.
hey girls just a quick post. just wanted to say i had my d&c this morning. i was fine. i was dreading it but it really wasn't that bad! went home two hours later and had maccas and a sleep i am feeling more positive about the whole thing now, counting down days to ttc. the lady who took my drip out said to wait two cylcles, but most people i've spoken to said they only waited one. i don't think she was a doctor so probably not gonna listen to her lol
thanks for thinking of me
helloo Ladies,
thanks craftymummy9 - you are right, these supplements are really good, in all ways, i
i am taking elvit but DH is not taking anything. they say nuts are good for overall male health, so he is eating some dryfruit nuts (for health)...and that's good that now are feeling better and no discharge. i think OPK are good, lets see the magic of these fairy O sticks, i have started using these today.
Ferrals4 - Good comment about health and taking Pre natal Supp. I think we all should
focus on taking these Pre Natal Supplements - you know prepare the soil
before sowing the seed.
Snugglybean - you are rocking with the SVN news channel.
Matthew's Mum - When are you "O" ting. i think i will be O ting this week...hope things go well and true we need a big BFP this month to sparkle the forum a bit..Yes I eat alot, but nothing happens to my body weight. I am concerned that low weight is not a problem.
Murraycod - Will be thinking of you tomorrow. do post post, cant wait to hear from you.
and to everyone else i missed
have a good night. keep posting
Scarypinkfairy-glad all went well for you today think of this as a new start with a new improved room for bub to grow.
Ric-I take elevit ,iodine and folic acid,natural iron tablet's, vitex, and i am now on organic cr#p and metamucil to help rid my body of excess estrogen so i rattle when i walk my DH take's menivit but he doesn't need it he has super sperm when we got his result's he had 117 million per ml (anything over 20 million normal) and 480 million total (anything over 100 million normal) 92% motility normal morphology and no antibodies but he did give up 95% of his coke and gave up smoking when we were trying for abbi.
Murrycod-good luck for tomorrow i hope you get a good result.
AFM-i had a bit of a meltdown this arvo my best friend and my horrible SIL and another friend are due for their babies from today my best friend txt me tonight and told me she has lost her mucos plug and is having a few niggly pain's how do i get through the next few day's trying to be supportive when it is killing me inside i don't know how i will cope i was looking forward to going through this with them when i was pregnant now i have to go through this with no baby and a broken heart and pretend to be happy i also relised my AF due on the 5th of nov that is the same LMP i had when i fell pregnant with abbi so if i get pregnant with ivf this month it will be due the same day as abbi was is that an omen or a freaky coincidence.

hi all,Scarypinkfairy-so pleased to hear your stay in hospital was short,you'll need to rest up ,ready for all that bd'ing action...Ric-not sure when 'o' is arriving,blood test i had last cycle suggests day 20,on day 10 now,but i'll be using my 'o' sticks from day 12 ,just in case a sneaky one pops out...ferrals-my neighbour & i were supposed to be going through our pregnancy's together,we were due about a week apart,i found when she had the babies(she had twins) i couldn't go over there,i rang her instead,do what you need to do for your emotional well being.A friend of mine conceived her child on her due date of the baby that didn't survive...
Ferrals you don't "have" to do anything. Tell them what you need, or why, be upfront. If they get upset about it, that's their problem. You are dealing with enough feelings right now without taking theirs on board too. Be straight up, say "I'm sorry that I'm not able to support you right now. I've got a lot going on. It would be a lot easier for me if you could please.... [give me some space/don't mention xyz/make sure you mention xyz/whatever works for you]
By the way, nice one on the d & c - thinking of it as a womb renovation is an ace idea!
Vitamins wise, I take Natal Complete, got it from a naturopath. It makes my wee green.
SPF so glad to see yesterday went smoothly for you, hun I hope you are recooping at home and are getting spoilt X Glad you went through with it. Best wishes for you over the next couple days, and hope that you recover nice and quickly with a juicy BFP very soon X
I wouldn't listen to that nurse either!!
Emmy83 1month will go by sooner than you think! Lap and Hyst should cover all bases, I really do hope that your remaining tube is clear, my GF had both tubes removed before IVF because they were damaged, but she has a daughter and PG with twins now. The long roads we take are worth it in the end, but are so painfull to get there X
Ric you can have some of my wobbly bits if ya want!! Wow you must be tiny!
I take Elevit too, DH won't take anything that doesn't look like pasta or Salami...........
Thanks for thinking of me babes XX
Actually I wan't to thank all of you girls hoping and encouraging me. You are all the sweetest sweethearts XX
SnugglyBean yay for getting AF finally, glad you had a nice time in Melb, my Dad lives in Berwick with extended family.
Sounds like you have a SIL like me too!!!!
N'eway only 2months and a tiny bit to go, lucky girl, then you will be UTD in no time XX
Craftymummy I do hope that your cycle is now a cycle, and things can get back on track with the TTC adventure. And what an adventure it is
LoopyL I have a Mabey Baby Saliva scope thingy but I don't use it anymore. Seemed to be pretty spot on, but I just found it hard with the no eating drinking before hand, and not getting any bubbles in my spit!!! I gave up with it
Temps were more easyer to keep track of.
Ferrals darling you don't seem to be getting a break at all............
Darling, take care of your heart for the moment and don't worry about theirs, I'm sure they have enough support around them, so they shouldn't be busting your balls ATM.
Know that we love you and are there for you each and every step of the way, good and bad.
Don't fall off the horse because of someone else, especially an insensitive someone else,
you would have to be the most patient lady, and keeping your grace intact, holding your head high and just looking after yourself is your main priority.
Well are you babes ready for an AFM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!
I drove an hour to my scan today, feeling sad and preparing myself for the official cancelled cycle, getting told what I already knew.......I was very wrong.
The 2 eggs on my L ovary had grown from both being 13mm, to an incredible 25mm and a 19mm, and my endometrium lining was 9mm thick.
The nurse said "I hope your DH is on standby because this is going to happen today". The shadow on my uterus was begining to cloud over which meant that I was going to ovulate in the next 4-10hrs, WTF how was that for timing hey?!?!
So she gave me the 5000iu of Pregnyl there and then, sent me home to get DH, and have the long awaited, but perfect timed IUI !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My DH and I were in shock!
I sped all the way home to get him and to get back on time for his part of the IUI process, never saw a police car thank god 120km/h there and back! naughtynaughty.
I'm stil in total disbeleif and shock. We did it.
DH sperm was 390mil with 98%motility. Nurse said she got sore eyes counting
I'm so sorry to keep rambling girls, but this time I'm so darn excited! I can't beleive I actually had an IUI so late in a cycle. Nurse said the 19mm egg was big enough, but the 25mm one was deadly! Out of all of those spermies, I just need 1 or 2....
Official 2WW starting from now.
I can't beleive everyone here were telling me it's not over till it's over. I truly thaught it was over a week ago I love you all X
