Grrr how annoying I just lost my big long post!!!
Melster - oh no sweetie I am sorry if it is AF.....
Clairesmummy - try your FMU I know its crazy we can't stop POAS!! Goodluck I am crossing lots of stuff for you!
Well my TWW has begun, had a tiny bit of EWCM this morning now its gone after 4 days so I think o must have been yesterday or the day before... we DTD bang on time I think so hopefully this month will work I am waaaaaaaaaaay over TTC!
Joeve- FX tightly for you with your TWW darl, hope you get your BFP at the end of it. I will be trying with FMU tomoro if AF is still a no show, I'm at CD28 today and have always had signs of her turning up by now but have just been to the loo yet again and still nothing. Haven't had any more cramps since 2 days ago but have been having little niggles in my lower belly this afternoon like I'm about to get AF cramps but they don't get to be cramps IYKWIM. Gosh this is so god dang frustrating. Feel a bit bloated today like I do with AF but very very tired as well, could have something to do with going to town yesterday as it's over 1.5hours away from home no idea any more.
Minniemouse......i am so frustrated!!!!!!!......did you get any more bleeding?
Clairesmummy......sorry about the BFN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! did you end up taking the b6?? Maybe thats lengthened you're cycles a bit?????
Hey Joeve...the big tww...its an interesting time isnt it...i hope you get you're BFP this month...i am with you with the "over TTC thing"
ATM.....im sitting here at work in a bad mood with loads of self pitty....a work mate asked if i was alright and i just said i was tired...im just over it..................plus i am tired, my boobs are killing me, my stomachs bloated, i feel like i have put on 10kilo..my bowels arent doing that great, im getting hot flushes and headache etc...so i just feel like poo and i am sooooooo dissapointment....i dont want to go through another month of this...
So af seems to have arrived 8 days early this month...so i have gone from late to early...and now i am getting some clotting which i dont normally get.....so i am lost as to what is going on with me and i am so annoyed with my body....so i have dr's tom...no response yet back from the ob and i have booked myself back into accupunture on monday and see if that can help regulate my hormones...and i have no doubt its got something to do with my hormone levels.....so i guess i count this as af and count down from yesterday??? and we start the cycle all over again......yayyyyyyyy for me....NOT
Clairesmummy - yep try tomorrow...I think the feeling like AF is a symptom of AF and preg how confusing it all is!!! Oh actually make that annoying!!
Melster - oh sweetie I feel for you, we have all been at that bad place hope you get some answers soon!
I am bored with the TWW and it still have 2 weeks to go:boohoo:
Melster- I'm so sorry that AF arrived early for you hoping you get some answers from your DR tomoro. Good luck with the accupunture. I have been taking the B6 this cycle could be I never even though about the B6, but if it's going to stop me from ovulating I think I will stop taking it. I have O'd in every cycle before except this one so I'm thinking about agreeing with my DR and leaving my TTC up to the medical world......
Joeve- I will be....lol......you will get this picture when i do test.....:wall::wall: and why oh why oh why did I waste yet another HPT just to get a BFN........lol... I'm not even that stressed about the whole thing at the moment, I'm just like yeah yeah whatever happens happens. I'm so over stressing about TTC that it's not funny thinking we will just kick back get some jobs done around here that are long over due and get to see a gynae one day or another and take it from there. We have been TTC now for over 2 years and it hasn't happened you would think that my DR would just refer me to the gynae anyhow with out waiting for more bloody BTs next cycle. It's not like I'm 24 any more and the big 35 is approaching quickly. But oohhhh well I will just join the fairies that fly around here at home with no baby dust and let what will be will be........:dunno:
We will do our best to help you through your :2ww: darl try to keep your mind busy is the best thing to do........I'm always up for a chat if you need to vent darl.....good luck and sending you lots of :bluedust::pink-babydust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Aww thanks... hmmm I am trying to give myself some things to do this TWW. Its took ages for o to arrange this month it felt like anyway/ Not that I am wishing my life away or anything. Do you buy your HPT off e bay? Lots cheaper and you don't feel bad wasting them :) I am an addict!
Wish my DH would come home and bring me a drink! Its too far to drive to the shops gee I am lazy!
I usually don't buy any HPTs usually wait for AF to arrive instead but anyhoo seeing as though my DR told me to do a HPT if AF don;t arrive I went out and bought some from woolworths. I know what you mean about being to far to drive to town we are over 30klms away from town here and I never go in there unless DD has kindy.......lol....
Oh well I buy them off e bay 40 for 12 dollars or something silly like that! Now that gives me something to do at the end of TWW!
We are not that far from town probably about 15 mins but it seems like a waste of petrol to go in there for one thing!
So are you hoping for a referral this month if you don't get your BFP?
Thanks ladies........my girlfriend seems to think it might be stress....do you think stressing over TTC could cause all my cycle problems??? Or do you think i have an actual problem............? Its only been three months since the mc and this one will be my 4th cycle...and i can hear the dr now..."keep trying you're cycles are just getting back to normal its only been 4months"....i know probably am being impatient but jeeezzzzzzzzz...
Joeve...i am an addict as well................"MY NAME IS MELSTER AND I AM A SERIAL PREGNANCY TESTER" ....but i buy the expensive ones and the opks...dont know why!!!!!!!! What can do in you're TWW?? ill try think of something other than testing....
Clairesmummy...Yeah, you would have thought by now they would have done something about it!!!!!!! You poor love.....2years is a long time......No wonder you're over it...its been 3months for me and im already :wall: .....shows how much patience i have LOL Im with you with the whole age thing....im getting closer and closer to hitting 35..
I even thought maybe i should have a break from the forum and the TTC thing for a while......well that lasted a total of two seconds :rolleyes::rolleyes:
Melster - Yes stress definitely comes into it. Hard not to stress but stress does create all sorts of weird and wacky things to trigger in your body....
Umm I am thinking I can clean out my wardrobe, learn to ride the rideon lawn mower so I can mow the lawn, plant some plants ummm wash the dogs - gee that will take me 2 weeks no doubt with some procrastinating! You need to buy some cheapie tests so much better for your wallet!!!
Joeve- I got all my OPKs off of Ebay I bought 50 of them for not much money but have nearly run out of them now....lol.....
But as I said I'm over the whole TTC thing now and leaving it up to dear ol' mother nature. I need a rest I'm so tired of not having any answers. Bout time I ripped a few words into my DR I think and told her what I want now instead of sitting back and letting them decide. Yeah all sounds good in theory but now I have to words into actions........lol.......I'm not very forward when it comes to that type of thing...I lack assertiveness at times.
I hear you. My DR is the same I am over her, she told me lose 5 kilos and then i will be pregnant. I am not exactly overweight to begin with so I am WTF?????? Just give me a referral but like you I just nod and go ok... ha ha
hi girls,
well we are all doing it a bit tough today, melster, i so hate all the guessing that goes on with ttc, if only we could just see inside ! so are you saying your on day 1 or still waiting ? personally i don't think stress has too much to do with it (but i could be wrong) some women get pregnant under the most trying of circumstances, i'd say it is just your body getting sorted after the m/c
clairesmummy: im still hanging in here hoping for you, 2 years is such a long time, i don't know why a dr would have let you wait so long, here's hoping you don't need that referral !
Joeve: wwhhooo in the 2ww, i did lol at you being bored of it already ! i hope it goes quick for you and you have good news at the end
Loops: how did your fertilisation rate go ? hope it is good news for you
possum: are you still out there, how are you going ?
im still having mucousy blood on wiping every few hours, not enough to get a liner, have no idea what its about but i am thinking i might start the clomid on day 5 from when i first saw the blood, maybe that will force my body to do a normal cycle and the next one might be better !
you girls all sound too nice with your dr's (or maybe im too pushy), my thoughts on dr's is they are there to refer you onto the people you really need to see, one specialist i saw wanted me to do this and that and said he would give me the drugs i needed after that so i did it and then he wanted me to wait longer so i changed specialists and the 2nd gave me what i needed straight away and i was pregnant the first cycle, you really need to push to get what you want, don't let them decide your future, anyway just my :twocents:
I love my ob...the receptionist sent me a msg saying he said to get a referral and come and see him!!!!!
Ill check in on my phone over the wkend...
Seeya ladies...
Happy vibes to everyone
Joeve- Yeah it sucks doesn't it I wish sometimes I could just get in that DR room and say right this time love you are gunna listen to me.......lol.....but I know darn well I would never do that......sometimes it really sucks being nice......lol.....
Minnie- Don't hang around waiting for my BFP darl cause I know it's gunna be a BFN for me I just know it.........Don't cross anything for me as you may lose circulation to your fingers.....lol....only joking darl. I just aint hopeful about it at all, not down about it just have reached a stage where I throw my hands in there air and say who gives a rats bum.....I can't keep getting my hopes up any more about TTC as it will just kill me.........god knows if I ever do get a BFP I will probably pass out from shock.......lol......hope all you ladies have better luck than me and get all your BFPs soon. Here's to us all we must be due for a run of BFPs in here ladies come on who is gunna be the first off the rank.......maybe loops, joeve, possum, minnie..........sorry if I have missed anybody.......brains got old timers setting in at this time of day...nearly time for bed.....lol....
Hi Ladies
Melster ~ Sorry AF has arrived hun, :hug: - its so rough and Im feeling for you. But once you start again you'll feel a bit happier. All the best for next month. Perhaps go out and have a drink and some fun with mates! I think it could be still after the m/c it took my body about the same to get back to norm - well I actually dont think it even got there.
Clairesmummy ~ Could it have been too early to POAS and get a BFP - sounds like it! :SAAF: Fingers crossed the witch stays away
Joeve ~ GL in TWW hun, i'll be joining you soon. Hope its doesnt send you crazy as I know it probably will me.
Minniemouse ~Thanks. GL again on the clomid! Hope you start soon.
Hi everyone and sending out lots of :stickyvibesgirl::bluedust:
AFM ~ Thanks everyone for all your support and encouragement by the way, much appreciated. Got the call this morning - only 7 out of the 15 fertilised. A little disappointing to lose so many so quickly but hey at least we have some I guess. Transfer will be Sunday and if we have two that make it (F and TX) we will be transfering two. Really hoping we have some to freeze as well.
Good Luck Loops, Fingers, toes, legs,arms and anything I can are all crossed for you darl. Wishing you all the very best for Sunday, I will be thinking of you. It could be to early for me Loops I have no idea darl, when or if I O'd at all this cycle I usually O around day 19-23 and BT picked up no O at CD19 but we haven't DTD since CD20 today is CD28 for me.
Minnie- I love it, can you help me a little more assertive with my DR maybe I need some lessons on how to be assertive and get what I want but still be meek and mild about it IYKWIM. It's so frustrating for me it's not like I'm getting younger and the whole just wait and see method is obviously not working for me.......
loops: sorry to hear you didn't get more fertilised but that means they are strong little ones, hope it all goes well the next few days and you get 2 good to transfer sunday and some left over to freeze
clairesmummy: do you know which specialist you will see, often what i do is make the appointment with the specilaist cause it can take some time to get in and see them (and when you ring to make the appointment and they ask who is referring just say your drs name then when you can just go to your dr and get the referral before you go, they may be more inclined to give you the referral if you already have the appointment !
Loops goodluck sweetie fx you have 2 to go in and some to freeze, and can't wait for you to join me in the tww!!!
Minnie- I'm assuming my DR will eventually send me to see an OB/GYN as she said that I will need to see one whether I'm PG or not. She said gynae but I would assume she meant OB as well. Been having a few cramps again tonight nothing major just feels like AF coming but I still have nothing. Guess I may waste a HPT in the morning just to see if it gives me any ideas as yet.
Hi Minnie, still here. Not much happening. On and off cramping but AF not due for a week. Guess it's going to be one of those cycles where i have days of symptoms before AF. Pretty sure i'm not pg because i think we DTD too late (after procrastinating whether to wait another month to TTC i think we missed the egg). Oh well, will try and focus on other things til i 'o' again. (Don't let me fool you though if i sound blase... the TWW is still killing me!)
Melster: Sorry AF arrived. Sux.
Clairesmummy: no pressure but i'm checking in on you tomorrow! (Just in case hon!)
Joeve: JOining you in the TWW!
Loops: Oh, everything crossed for you for Sunday. HOpe you get a lovely bubba or two for now and some for later!
Hi ladies ! - not sure if it's a bit early for me to be joining you here - i had my d and c yesterday at 10w4days and i guess i already am starting to try and think towards TTC again. I thought i would need longer to get over it all (not to say i am over it) but i think the fact i had a week b/w a bad ultarasound result and the d and c gave me time to process a lot of it - so today, being only the day after i am amazed and also a bit suspicious of how good i am feeling both physically and mentally. I got home from hospital at 11.30pm last night, took some panadol at midnight and haven't needed any at all today, only very slight tummy niggles and odd stabbing pain not needing meds. Also,like mumtoramone mentioned i am having only the tiniest bit of bleeding and wouldn't be suprised if none tomorrow, i expected several weeks of bleeding, although i bled very little after a c/s, maybe i am just not a 'bleeder' IYKWIM??
Soooo...guess i just wanted to say hi and read a bit about how long you guys waited to start trying etc.....i was not told anything about not DTD, although i read somewhere can be a good idea to use condoms for a few weeks to avoid infection??? I am not really interested just at the mo, still feeling a bit 'invaded' from the d and c!!
Ob.said to wait for bleeding to stop, then for AF to arrive and then we can start trying after that, but sounds like some get pg before even seeing af??
We have had one chemical pg (had positive hcg at day 20-something found in blood tests done for other health reasons and then basically got 'normal' period )- was still hard though as for a few days at least thought i was pg, very disappointing!! I had CMV (cytomegalovirus) at the time so was facing decisions re continuing the pg and nature made the decision for us i guess.....then this time we believed we were pregnant for weeks and at a scan at 9wk3days were told there was a sac but no baby - quite devestating to go to the scan all excited and be told that....
anyways, onward and upward, so thanks to all you ladies for the info i have already gained from you and i wish you hugs and babydust for BFP's asap!!
Possummagic - identified with your comments re already having a child. I have a 12 moth old baby girl and am spending a lot of time last week feeling very grateful for having one child when others may not have one - it has certainly made me hold her tighter and feel more grateful. However, it doesnt change the pain of a loss at any time and if you are ready to expand your family and watch people around proceed with this next step easily it is still hard not to be envious.. i think the desire to "add to your family" whether it be your first, second or eighth child is still a strong desire if it is in you to want another......however let me respectfully say that i do think for me personally i would have perhaps felt this loss more if i didnt have one already....i know that wont be true for everyone, i guess i am just trying to ease my guilt for whinging when i am so lucky to have one.....
Possum-Thanks for checking in on me darl I appreciate it. Hope you caught your eggy darl, FX for you that the cramps are not AF and is something alot cuter.......lol.....BFP maybe....hopefully....
Henri-:hello: Welcome to BB, I'm so sorry for your losses darl sending you some :hug: My DR at the time of my MC told me to wait for 3 months before TTC again as it would give my body time to heal, but in saying that I wish I hadn't cause I'm no closer now to getting UTD as I was back then. I had a natural MC though no D&C needed. I hope your stay in here is short and sweet darl and you get your BFP soon. We are all pretty open and honest in here and the ladies all give out some great advice as well.
AFM- HMMMMMM yes I did the whole POAS this morning with FMU and yep it was a :bfn: still have :SAAF: as yet anyhow. So I'm guessing now that since my BT come back with no O I must not be going to get AF. From what I can gather from googling please correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is what they call an anovulatary cycle for me. So I will be off to the DR again next week and DEMANDING a referral to a OB/GYN, may have to put the tears on to get what I want ( thank you Minnie) lol.......We are off to see my mum and dad this week end so won't be on here until we get home again. I hope you all have a great week end and please take care all. It will be great to get away and forget about AF for a few days I'm sooooooo over this silly waiting game. MIL rang me at 5:30 this morning to ask what type of plug do I have on my car for a trailer like OMG couldn't that of waited until a decent hour, not a happy camper I hate being woken up by the bloody phone, oh and apparently now my DFs neice is UTD she is 22 and the father of her baby is nothing but a total loser and she still lives with her grand parents and never does any house work to help them out and demands that her grandmother does her washing for her.Oh yeah my life just keeps getting better and better. :angry:
Clairesmummy: sorry to hear it was bfn, maybe you are right that you really didn't ovulate this cycle, im not really sure what happens with an anovulatary cycle but i hope af comes soon for you, its the pits waiting around when you know its a bfn.i would be very unimpressed being woken at that time of the morning for some stupid reason and big hugs to you that you had to hear of another pregnancy under less than ideal circumstances. i hope you have a good weekend away with your mum and dad and can put ttc out of your mind for a while
Possum: good to hear you are well into your 2ww, hopefully you have good news shortly !
afm still having a little bit of mucousy blood on wiping, im thinking about considering its my period and starting the clomid, i was talking to my friend yesterday and even though she was ovulating on her own she had irregular cycles and the dr gave her clomid to regulate them so it might work for me the same way, guess it can't hurt........
Possum - yay come play in the terrible TWW hope it goes fast for us both with a nice surprise at the end!
Minnie - sounds weird....do you think it could be something else????? Like a BF.....P? In the making?
Henri - welcome I hope your stay is short and sweet, sorry for your loss.
One more day of the TWW over! Yeahhhhh!!!
Joeve: no chance of a bfp for me, not this cycle anyway !
Henri: welcome, sorry to hear of your loss
Wow, this thread flies....... just like the good old days. :)
Melster - Stress can play a part in disrupting your cycles. I know it feels like an eternity, and I understand what it's like to want to be pg yesterday, but 4 months is reasonable in TTC terms. No fun for you, of course... but still reasonable according to the drs. Hang in there, hun.. try to think of each BFN as one step closer to your BFP.
Henri - You don't have to feel guilty for mourning your loss. Whether you have no other children or ten, a loss is a loss, and you need to grieve for that baby. Welcome, and I'm sorry you're here all at the same time.
Loops - Lucky 7, perhaps?? I really hope you get your sticky bub out of this, hun. I'll be stalking to see how you go. When is the transfer scheduled for??
Sorry if I've missed anyone else, having a hard time keeping up. I just wanted to pop in and check on my TTC'ers. :)
morning ladies....
welcome henri.....sorry about the circumstances tho.....i have a daughter and like u said i am extrfemely grateful that i have a child...but ur right it makes no difference to ur loss or the wanting of another child
clairesmummy......u poor darl.....were all going real good in here at the moment arent we.....yes i would demand to go see an ob....just say its been two years..you know somethings wrong and ull have to wait to see an ob anyways.....do anything u can to get that referral babe or find another dr again.....sorry about thew bfn and no af.....maybe it does have something to do with the b6
loops....good luck for sunday babe.... 7 is a good no.....let us know how u go...thinking of u.
Joeve hows that 2ww going...
Minniemouse....yeah maybe u should start the clomid
forshelby....how u going darl
atm....well af is here with a vegence....hope its not a chemical or anything....feel better im doing something about it now and getting to see the ob....i also have started my tea back up and getting accupunture
monday...i know i really shouldnt complain coz 4 months is not a long time in the scheme of things and i betcha it is stress....i have been feeling quiet down and stressed....but its kinda hard not to feel that way....i went away to see if that worked but im obviously quiet stressed inside....i have to find a way to get some peace with this whole ttc thing and not be so impatient......
went too drs and he thinks i might not be ovulating....got an app with ob in a week...least im getting somewhere
Minnie- Good luckw ith the Clomid hun, let us know how it goes please........
Joeve- A little disappointing for me this morning but ah well thems the breaks I guess, good luck with your TWW keep us up to date on how you are going darl. FX for you.
Loops- Good Luck for Sunday can't wait to get home and read how it all went for you, sending you a truck load of guey sticky vibes and baby dust hun. FX for you as well.
Melster- Hope AF don't drive you round the bend to much darl, have a relaxing week end, take a long hot bath and kick back with a nice glass of wine.
AFM- Well DF arrived home early from work and we got in a bit of BDing before we head off for the week end, 1 last attempt for October and to get him ready for Monday when he has his SA done.....lol......So obviously still no AF for me as yet, going to stop taking those vitamin B6s just in case they are messing with my cycle a little to much, who knows. Anything is worth a shot these days. Have a great wet windy week end all catch you all when I get home or maybe before then if I can get BB on my mobile.
xox:)
Good afternoon lovely ladies
Henri ~ hi and welcome. Sorry about your loss, I really hope you can start again soon and you aren't in here too long because you get your BFP! We just started trying again when I felt better after all the bleeding. But then again I didnt have to have a D&C so Im not too sure about that sorry.
Clairesmummy ~ Terribly sorry you got a BFN - hope you are starting to look forward again and good luck with DF's tests. Enjoy your break - (((GBH)))
Forshelby ~ thanks for dropping in and for the wishes - miss you guys around here. Hope everything is still going very well xo
Melster ~ Hope AF goes soon so you can start again, all the best hun.
Thanks everyone for all your lovely wishes and encouragement once again - you are the best!!
Group hugs! xo
hi all,been reading & trying to keep up with everyone,had a few rough days so haven't felt up to posting but wanted to let you all know you & your bubs are in my thoughts as my memorial candle is lit for pregnancy & infant loss day
thanks matthews mum, same for you too, big hug to you
looks like a few of us here will be doing clomid, i don't know what is going on with me, for the last 2 hours i have been having strong pelvic pains (not really period pains) and bad lower back pain,im sitting on the lounge with a heat back on my back and front ! im still bleeding a bit and it has changed to more bright red and less mucousy pink now, i was intending on starting clomid tonight so now i don't know what to do !....gggrrrr
Hi ladies
I didn't know where else to ask this.... I only just stopped bleeding a day ago from my. D&c. My m/ c though was on 5th September 2010, I have crazy lower back pain which is normally associated with my period.
Is it too early for a period, or could I be about to ovulate soon, what do you think?
I have. Opk tests. When would you start testing ? Should I wait for a period? Did you?
I didn't wait and think i ov'd 2 weeks after my M/C. I didn't have a D&C and didn't bleed more than 2 days, so not really the same as you. Sorry I hope someone more helpful comes in!
Mum2Romone - It really could be anything. Could be O, or af, or just random backpain. Your cycle could be messed up for a while after a mc. When it comes to OPK's, usually they have a guide with them that explains when to start testing. You're meant to test so many days after af, according to your average cycle length. If you were to start testing now you could go through an awful lot of them, but if they were cheapies and you have a lot, there's no harm in starting now if you want to. Sorry, that was pretty vague but there really is no rulebook to how these things work sadly.
clairesmummy.....how u? has af arrived..
loops...u excited about tomorrow
mathews mum....how u doing? u not so good at mo
minniemouse......hows ur bleeding going hun...is it af
mumtoromone.......i had a d@c and i made sure i took a pregnancy test to make sure it was negative and new my hormones were back down....as apparently u can get false readings with opks etc after miscarriage....so then i started using opks and i got what seemed to be a positive two weeks later and my period 28 days.....but now it seems i might not be ovulating....
Atm...well im pretty drunk ladies....i went to a girls bbq catch up and drank plenty of champas and drowned my sorrows.....got home and hubby wanted to bd.....he thinks this was the day....but i tried to explain to him im probably not ovulating and its straight after my period but i amused him anyways.........he said a real nice thing........that we should communicate more....touch more..cuddle more...massage...talk and have some fun and change the atmosphere so maybe i will o.........so cute.....and he is probably so right....i need to find a way to relax and enjoy my life instead of only living in ttc world.......to see my pregnant friend whos just announced it today at party which was hard.....but i need to be happy for her....happy that she is not going through what i am.......i know that if this is stressed related why im not ovulating......that i need to deal with it....but if its not i need to know as well.....everyone keeps telling me to just wait and see.....but i feel better going to the dr.......they dont understand what i am going through and why even a month makes the biggest dent in my heart and why the depressive feelings are becoming stronger........got lunch tomorrow with a friend so that should be nice.........u all are my end of the tunnel.........my light.......u make me feel normal......
Hope ur all having a good weekend.....sorry about my drunken ramble
