Hello to my lovely freinds Cherished and Coco!! I always lurk around the thread, feels homely, and am glad to see you both posting (even though I know you'll be in other threads.) Cherished, you are SO right about pregnancy being like the lottery. DH and I watched 60 minutes too, and felt even more grateful, but nervous than we ever have. I too am glad it was aired on main stream prime time TV.
Hello to everyone else, good luck to us all in our journeys.
Damn!!! What is this article that everyone is talking about!?!! I missed it! Sounded like a goodie!
Anyone have a link to it online or something?
ric - that must be so hairy for you! Esp after a PMP, I don't know if it's the same for you, but I know I get so worried, if AF is even a day late, when any bfp could mean regrowth, or it could mean pg.
chez - I'll come up another time and we can do our own tri. That way I can do a long ride, big swim, and run like 100m! I am the worst runner ever. DH almost has me convinced to attempt Coot-tha this weekend - I am terrified but psyched! There's two other friends going so I can't back out, either!
emmy - I would make the appt. You can always cancel it down the track if you want to.
I would also say something very rude to my MIL :p I did to mine, once, and we've never been closer since.
ferrals - you are not letting anyone down in the whole world. You are doing completely the opposite by being so strong - I bet you're actually inspiring them. I'm sure it sucks to feel that they're all sad with you, but it's only cos they love you. Don't worry about them, just look forward, focus on your own journey.
budgi - I had a massive meltdown a few weeks ago just after a colleague announced she was pg. I was OK at first, but I was the only one she'd told, so I copped all the details,w hich was fine, until she got to the scan and told me how her DH started to cry when he saw the heartbeat. I left the room in tears. She just didn't really think. Telling me before anyone else not really the brightest idea either. Two days later I crawled under my desk and had a huge cry because I couldn't bear to even look at her. She's now off for 3 weeks due to massive sickness, a relief for me emotionally, but stressful work-wise.
juleswa - don't feel bad about coming in with news. I find it really comforting to know that there's hope on the other side of this. I don't know about everyone else, but I love to hear from you.
AFM - TGIF!
SnugBug I just saw your location changed, such a crack up, gosh I miss seeing you regularly in a thread! Now I know I've been getting more active and loosing weight and stuff but I don't think I'd be up for our own tri! You'd leave me for dead... like seriously you'd be about 9 km's in front of my on a 10km bike ride :rofl: Have fun on the Mt, have you ever done Mt, Pomona?
Sunny my little ray of sunshine :D how are you beautiful girl? Hope you are well, I sent you a pm a while back, hope it found you well and happy with bubs :hug: take care my lovely chat soon xxoo
evening all, hope everyone has had a good week and thank goodness its the weekend.
Welcome back cherished, glad to see that you are coping ok and congrats on the weight loss, hopefully you've come back to announce a BFP really soon.
Coco good to see you back posting again, i was wondering where you had got too. Dont have a link to the actual episode of the 60 minutes show but Lisa & Jeff (the couple who had 20 m/c) done a chat online after the show and here is the link to that if you want to read through it. [HTML]http://sixtyminutes.ninemsn.com.au/webchats/920774/chat-lisa-and-jeff-body[/HTML] .It was a great doco and as someone said in an earlier post its good to see it shown on mainstream tv for everyone to see.
Sunny glad to see your still lurking, hope the pg is going really well for you
Ric good luck with the blood test results tonight, hope you get the answer your after. Make sure you pop back in and let us know how you went.
Emmy i would make the appt and like the others said its no biggie if you have to cancel it (and hopefully you will when you get your BFP real soon)
Tina how is your pg going, i hope your morning sickness is gone and your starting to feel good.
Budgi that must be so hard to hear about pg friends i havent had to encounter it yet but im really hoping im pg before anyone else tells me they are. I think ill be able to cope with it then.
Bookworm your festivities sound like fun, we dont really drink much either so thats generally the extent of our weekend fun too LOL. Good luck with testing, hopefully af doesnt show up and you can announce your BFP real soon
Ferals :hug: your horrible SIL i cant believe she is still carrying on as if she hasnt made it hard enough for you already. She will be the one who loses out in the end when you dont want anything to do with her in years to come. Stay strong hunny and hopefully youll too have your own little bundle very soon.
Jules congratulations on your pg. Dont feel bad about posting a bfp it gives us hope and we love to hear all about it.
AFM not much happening here, enjoying this lovely weather, just been for a walk and sweated soooo much, its so HOT. Just waiting for ovulation and hoping its around sunday/monday coz thats the only time me and db are going to be able to BD as im making the 3 hour trip to go and stay with him where hes working.
A friend at work was telling me about this naturopath she goes to and apparently he is brilliant at helping women fall pg. Hes had a 100% success rate and has even helped women who have been unsuccessful with IVF. So i got his name and number and rang to make an appt and the women told me hes not taking new clients :rolleyes: so annoyed. Have made an appt with another lady at the same clinic and she may be able to give me a referral to this man women call god :lol:
Anyway better get going, have a shower and organise some dinner
Talk soon
:hello:Sunny, TinaR and Juleswa, Thank you for dropping in on us from time to time, and having a bit of a lurk to make sure the Mad House is doing ok XX
Cherished welcome back X Sorry to hear that AF showed up babe, it's always a crappy feeling to first see her X
Coco OMG DARLING I have missed you!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was gunna PM you couple nights ago but thaught i had better not stalk you, knew you were having a little time to yourself X But so nice to have you back X Hope you are well X
Craftymummy and Matthew'sMum these next 5 days can't get over and done with quick enough!
Crafty hope you get that LH surge your looking for,
Matthew'sMum, October was depressing, no BFP's for 4 weeks, I hope you and I can start November off with a much better trend. XX
Loopielouie have a nice time in Brissy, sorry to hear lack of 'O', and hope that the higher dosage of Clomid does the trick. Don't loose hope, there are otherways to get those blasted eggs to burst don't you worry X Got some dynamite??;)
Ferrals sounds like you have a spiolt brat of a SIL (sorry). My SIL and I have not spoken since she had her twins in April. She had made some very nasty comments about my MC in March, saying she was glad because now the focus was just on her babies and not on mine. My MIL tries to encourage me to go see her (she an outlaw like me) but I will never bear my backside to that cow, DH says over his dead body will we go see her. Oh, happy families hey!?!............loopie did you have dynamite??????
Budgi so sorry hun X
Emmy I agree with the last few comments, you can always cancell, it's always good thing to have something to fall back on when all else fails XXX
RIC YOU HAD BETTER BE POSTING TONIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Or I wont sleep worrying about you. Good Luck hun X Hope all is good news X
Bookworm I got 2 DVD's and microwave popcorn thisavo after work then I read your post!! Have a great night, you deserve it, I will definately be doing the same !!
Snugly what's TGIF??
Have fun over the weekend cheeky girl, I hope that your Bootie and BejayJay are well padded thistime :nahnah:
I read your tap comment................ X
Just had to edit, we must have posted at the same time Eliselouise, hope you are well my darling XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
AFM.................well............I dunno If I wanna say this out loud incase I sound like a nuffy on Wednesday, but I now have the worlds most itchyest, sore and hot nipples. Enough for me to go and buy some Bepanthen on the way home and douse myself in it. My boods are tender but only when I poke them (and that would have looked great walking down the shopping centre poking at my boobies) cuz i keep poking them to check if they are still tender......now they sore from all the poking!!!!!:lol:
I know I promised that I would relax and not over annalise my body twinges this month because I still have the Pregnyl on board in my system, but I have NEVER had tender boobs or nipples that feel like theyr'e on fire.
Still have been getting pinching AF cramps, and when I got home I was...(TMI WARNING) so wet downstairs I wen't boltinh to the toilet cuz I thaught AF had arrived. Just watery white stuff, not creamy or EWCM stuff........ok I'll stop now:tmi:
Have all of a sudden got my hopes so damn high, and I can't wait till tomorrow mornig to wake up and poke my boobies again to see if they still sore!
I haven't told DH about this cuz as I said, I feel silly getting these strong feelings,and gunna feel stupid if it turns out to be a BFN anyway.
budgi, I can relate with the difficulty in seeing other people who are pregnant. It's nobody's fault or a rarely a deliberate attempt to make us feel sad, but it's a reminder of what we've lost.
ric, good luck waiting for the BT results, hang in there.
AFM--ferrals, hopefully I can be the one to break the BFP drought. I thought AF was getting going today, but it was just a little spotting and stopped again. So who knows what to think now... I'm still going to try to be patient and test on Saturday, unless AF decides to show up in enough force to let me know it's not going to be this month. I'm trying to keep my mind busy, playing with the new MP3 player and watching the new DVDs. I motivated myself to walk for 30 minutes on the mini-tramp before DH got home from work--I was stiff at work today. After he got home, I was nearly falling off the couch laughing at "Shaun the Sheep," the "claymation" creation from the Wallace & Gromit geniuses. Hopefully it wasn't loud enough to annoy the neighbors--it was about 5:30 am. We make an effort to not make a lot of noise when we're up in the wee hours of the morning every day, but I couldn't help laughing. We had a nice little "date" eating popcorn and watching the DVD. We'll have to watch the next one tonight.
it was a big NOOOOOOO
HCG less than 2, doc said it could be late ovulation or implantation bleeding, and after fertilisation it takes 3-4 days to come in blood test....so i have to hang in there...and said don't panic, spotting was yesterday and no AF today....so wait...
sorry to disappoint each and every member, including myself.
someone please post BFP in our forum..
i will post again.
So sorry RIC, dont feel down, as the saying goes, not over until AF shows full flow X
Take it easy tonight, like Bookworm and I, go get a DVD XX
Ric sorry to hear that the blood test didnt show a BFP just yet, but just remember its not over untill AF rears her ugly head, and dont think that you have dissapointed any of us. I know it must have been dissapointing for you but we are just here for you and hoping that you get your BFP very soon.
awww, ric, I've a right mind to march downt here to Melbs and give your body a good talking to! I hope it communicates a bit more clearly from now on! Not a disappointment, mate! It'll happen, you know it.
AFM... CD14. I usually O on day 17 but last cycle as a little late. Thinking about throwing a small amount of caution into the wind this month and just going for it. For = yay! might get knocked up! Against = cant go skiing in Japan, we're not really supposed to, oh, and I'm supposed to be getting my wisdom teeth out soon. Hmmm. I'll let you all know (cos you're dying to find out) Along with all the other latest Bejingo Headlines.
evening everyone,Loopylouie-I've been on 100mg clomid,if not utd this cycle,fs going to up it to 150mg,but only for 1 cycle...Snugglebean-Ilove a bargain $2 was a great buy,will be waiting to hear your decision(to wait or not to wait)...Juleswa-Hope the scan on Monday is wonderful...Ferrals-Sorry about sil problems...Bookworm-not long now before you test,good luck,ds4 loves shaun the sheep...Budgi-after loss pregnant women do seem to be everywhere ...Tina-hope everything well with you...Cherished-Sorry it didn't happen for you this cycle,best wishes for next.DD found jc fairly easy,lots of food...Emmy-I'd make an app as they book so far in advance...RicHoping for great news for you,sounds like there is still hope...Sunny-hope all is well with you...eliselouise-Thanks for posting the link,good luck with your trip...Murraycod-Hope your signs are an indication of great news to come.i'm having similiar sypmtoms,trying to hold out for the 5th...Smilepolice -Sorry for your friends losses...Goodnight all
looppylouie hope the increased dose of clomid works for you next time. i have no experience with vitex but lots of people on here have had success with it so maybe your doctor should not be so quick to dismiss something he doesn't know about.
ferrals how can your sil be so childish!! of course your family are going to more upset about your news than they would be happy about her news. sounds like you are better off without her, she does not seem to have any understanding of what you are going through.
budgi how hard that must be for you to hear another lady being pg. hope you can be strong and get through it ok.
emmy83, sounds like it must have been hard for your friend ttc for 3 years. at least you know it hasn't been easy for her either, so would make things a bit easier for you. what op are you having to improve your chances of getting pg? and i would say no harm in making the appointment, you can always cancel it, and hopefully you will. i'm sure someone would take the appointment if you don't need it.
ric sorry to hear about your result.
eliselouise hope you o on time for your db to be around. hopefully you won't need to see that fertility specialist this time round.
murraycod i must say they sound like pg symptoms to me!!! my bbs hurt soooo much when i got pg, was one of my first signs. :crossfingers: i also had pains in my right ovary so maybe it's your month!! i must say i'm waiting for your test results....
snugglybean must be a hard desicion to make. whether to go for it or not. let us know what you decide. when have they given you go ahead to try again?
bookworm and matthew's mum have you tested yet?!?
afm 12 days post d&c and still a small amount of bleeding. been a total of over 5 weeks of bleeding now, i don't know how i am coping. it is supposed to stop 10-14 days after d&c so should i contact the hospital again if it hasn't stopped?
Hey ladies i have the day off today and i am sitting here waiting for all the trick or treaters so far i have gone through 6 bags off lollies my kid's are drueling at the mouth waiting for the leftovers.
Ric-sorry your BT diddnt show a BFP just yet but hang in there AF might not show up.
Bookworm-how are you going i hope no sign of AF we need a BFP to lift our spirits.
Murrycod -did you poke and prod your boobs today you will make them sore lol and i know what you mean about wet down there being a sign when i am pregnant that is one of my symptoms it is gross.
SPF-my stupid SIL is just a self centered cow and i would give it a few more day's for the bleeding to settle down then go see the doctor if they said 10 to 14 days go after that time is up.
Snuggly- have a great weekend i dont envy you one bit you must be very fit i feel real lazy my exercise is walking my dogs maybe jump on the treadmill and i do 10 hrs of walking at work if i am not on a cashier shift i am not overweight 63kgs but i do have some wobbly bits i need to do somthing about.
Sunny-great to hear that all is well with you.
Hello to the ladies i missed.
AFM-I'm hanging in there waiting for my AF it is due on friday i rang the pgd nurse to get some more day 1 BT forms as i used it and the spare last cycle anyway i had a talk to the nurse and i am not very optimistic regarding my E2 levels she said it could have been a one off or it could be i have estrogen dominance and it might not go down if that's the case i would not be a good candidate for ivf they could start a cycle with the high E2 but i would be at high risk of the cycle being cancelled due to overstimulation or that my lead follicle would be to big and take up all the meds preventing all the other follicles with imature eggs from catching up so i would not have enough mature eggs at egg pick up and for PGD testing as you know we need lots i am trying everything still on organic foods i have cut out a lot of products with paraben in it eg. shampoo conditioner beauty products and switched to all natural to get this E2 down.
PRAYING IT WORKS!!!!
ferrals it seems like you are doing everything you possibly can (and more!!) to get your E2 down. i think you are becoming an expert on the whole subject :) pgd sounds so hard as you would need to produce so many more eggs to get a few that can be implanted, but i am no expert! just hope it goes well for you on friday. why does it always seem like we are counting down days to this or that...? probably because we are :)
What the? I spent ages yesterday writing a really long post with lots of personals and today it seems to have disappeared. Boo! I don't think I have the energy to re-type it all.
Hi to everyone, hope you are all doing well. Welcome to the new faces, sorry you have to be here, but hopefully your stay will be short. I think there are far too many of us in this thread right now waiting, so were due for a big string of BFPs'
I'm currently at 4 DPO and trying hard not to over analyze every symptom I have. I bumped into a friend of mine who JUST started TTC buying HPTs because her period is late. I hope she is but it just seems so unfair if it was that easy for her and here we all are stuggling like crazy to get PG. Another friend said something to lead me to believe she too is pregnant so that is now 7 friends of mine who are expecting and I'm wondering when it's going to be my turn (all of our turns)
DS won't sleep and is yelling from his room for me to come take him to the potty (which means he already went and wants to be changed) so I will talk to you all soon.
Hey everyone! We haven't been given the go-ahead to try again, but they seem a bit blase about the whole thing at the clinic. So we're not trying, but we're not being all that careful either. The full-blown trying starts in December, (pending two more blood tests) which the clinic have OK'd.
SPF - My bleeding went for 4 days post d & c, then stopped for two days, then went on for another 10, just a small amount.
We didn't end up doing coot-tha, just a 50km river loop. Pretty good fun, I think I was holding the boys back a little bit, though, which made me feel bad.
Mornig girls, wow it's hot here in Sunraysia, 37 today and 38 tomorrow, ouch!
Snugglybean you must be so fit! I haven't done even a sit up for 3 months, cuz I'm too scared too!!!! Hence the flab hanging over my shorts right now :doh:
Hi TwinSis, that has happened to me with a post a couple times, and as usual long ones, I hate that!! So I just write them again, never as long though! Nice to see you are well X Hope we see a BFP somewhere soon.............girls...............C'MON!!!!
SPF IKWYM!! Counting every single day for something different! Then at the end of the month, the start seems so long ago, crazy days I tell ya!
Ferrals hope you survived the Trick or Treaters last night!! Sounds like funn seeing all the kids dressed up! I remember doing that when I lived in Melb as a child. So fun. We were so naughty too! Hope they treated you well, and your babes had some treats left oer to munch on X
You seem to be going so well with everything that you are doing, have definately got your mind set on a big goal, and I'm sure after all of this hard work you have put in, you will reap the rewards X how is the bird food goi'n anyway ;)
I really look up to you ATM, you are my inspiration for Jan10 if I am to do the IVF. Which I think I will.
Ric I hope you are feeling ok babes X
Matthew'smum are you testing anytime soon?? I so wish I could cave.
Eliselouise hope you had a nice weekend X
Bookworm hope you enjoyed your DVD night, are you testing yet either??
Emmy, Budgi, Juleswa, Cherished, Coco, Craftymummy, and everyone else in the tribe of lovelies (sorry missed you) XX Hope you are all doing well.
AFm I had a melt down yesterday, had the worst AF like cramping all day, constant not letting up until late in the evening, thaught I had AF Flow a couple times running to the dunny pad in hand, only to have nothing there. Just watery stuff. But realisticly i know what is trying to show, and not happy about it at all!
Itchy boobs came back late last night, putting i down to the hot weather now.
I went outside to pat my dogs goodnight at about 1130ish, and had a very nasty cramp/stitch in my right side which put me to my knees for about 2mins, then dissapeared.
Only feeling a dullish crampiness today, nothing like yesterday, but have that awfull feeling still.
Still haven't told DH about these cramps cuz I don't wan't both of us depressed. He is my sweetheart X
