evening all hope everyone is doing well, im feeling much better today, didnt curl up in bed and speak to noone but AF is almost gone so that makes me feel alot better.
Sunbeam good to hear from you again, glad to see that things are going well for you and that taking a break is doing you well. Make sure to pop back in to announce your BFP when it happens which i hope is not too far away for you.
Bookworm dont be sorry about the whining this is the perfect place to come and let it all out. Hope you are starting to feel a little better
Snugglybean i would love to be belly buddies again but i too am hoping that i dont have to wait till january for that to happen, i really would like to be pg again before my angels EDD which was end of jan, think it would make it a little easier. Hopefully your councelling session helps you out and you can figure out something to make the next few months a little easier.
Joshsmum good luck with the amnio on the 13th, i will be keeping everything crossed for you and sending you all the stickiest vibes in the world
Sammy thats terrible about your partners eye it sounds very painful, you never know though he may be so extremely bored and that may be the only thing on his mind, hopefully you get to BD around ov time.
Hello to everyone else i have missed, hope everyone has a good weekend
Talk soon
josh's mum, good luck with your amnio. you should be ok if the scan was ok, but wishing you all the best.
what bad news sammy p, hope your dp's eye gets better soon, poor thing.
snugglybean i can only sympathise with you. i work in an area where we do prenatal testing, and the samples we are getting in now are getting very close to when i would have been due. i find it very upsetting. you cannot be expected to not be emotional over what has happened. i just hope the people you work with understand. only my boss knew that i was pregnant so i'm finding it really tough.
afm, i went for my ultrasound today and there is still 1.5cm of "products" left after two lots of tablets. i am really confused what to do. i have to go back in 2 weeks to check again. but i just want to ttc again, and i won't get my cycle back with stuff hanging around in my uterus but i really don't want a d&c. why is life so hard?
morning all,smallfryplus-hope things are going well for you...josh'smum-good luck with the ammnio...sammyp-what rotten timing hope your dh is on the mend soon...eliseloise-glad your feeling better...scarypinkfairy-i didn't have d&c,in between the first two af's i had some spotting,doc said if spotting persisted then he would recommend d&c,but it didn't so i still haven't had one.But i'm going to ask about at my next appointment because it's been 10 months ttc and some people are telling me that if i had one it may of helped with ttc again,i hope it all settles in to place for you soon.
Hey everyone, I managed to survive the work week. I pulled an extra long shift on Thursday, as we're short staffed and haven't replaced one of the graveyard people that left. The bonus to that is that I only had to work three and a half hours today to finish my total 40. My supervisor spoke to my colleague who overdid her meal break on Weds. and it's supposed to not happen again. Privately, I'll be paying attention to the time she leaves in the future, and don't trust her much anymore. I'm feeling a little better about AF showing up this month, and we can try again. Thank goodness for ovulation kits, it makes it easier for planning.
Speaking of ovulation timing, sunnyp, sorry about your difficulties. I hope your DH is feeling better soon. I scratched my cornea once, and it was really painful. Ferrals--congrats, I hope you get a BFP soon. Snugglybean, I'm sorry you had a rotten day the same day I did, and hope that things are looking brighter now. eliselouise, I'm glad AF is on the way out, good luck trying this month. scarypinkfairy, I hope your doctor finds a solution to the retained products ASAP so you can move on.
Best of luck to everyone trying this month, hopefully we get some BFPs in October.
So I thought I ovulated on day 9 (lots of EWCM). I though "great" since we BD on day 8,9 and 10, then took a much needed break on day 11. Now it is day 12 and I think I actually may be ovulating today (more EWCM). I'm wondering if we BD today and tomorrow, is that enough? I always thought the day before ovulation was the most important day and so now I'm worried I missed it. I know I'm probably over thinking things, I didn't get much sleep last night (woke up at 3:00 to pee and couldn't get back to sleep for a few hours, and even then it wasn't a restful sleep). I think I'll do personals tomorrow, I'm off to have a much needed nap.
morning everyone,,,Bookworm-goodluck with catching that egg...Twinsister-I think you're in with a good chance,sperm do live for 48 hours , so i've been told.Hope you were able to have nap it's sounds like you needed it.
twinsister - I was just checking my chart and notice that when FF reckons I o'd was 6 days after I last BD'd!! Not to mention when my due date is makes O at least 3 days after BD. I thought I had O'd quite a bit earlier than FF does. And I think sperm can live up to 5 days (not all and not always but I believe that's around the max).
For everyone who remembers me from my time here a few months ago, I had my 20 week scan on Friday and it has revealed a pink baby I'm really pleased and so are my two little girls and my DH is over the moon. This is his first child as DD1 & 2 are to a previous relationship. My youngest is about to turn 5 and the elder turn 7 in two weeks. I have 3 girlfriends due within days of me and so far know that two are having blue babies and I doubt the third will find out. It's my first preg with friends around. Anyway, was just updating and hope to see more bfp's coming out of here soon as I lurk in here regularly to check up on my old support group.
ps. Ferrals, so pleased to hear how things are progressing for you! Best of luck with all the needles and the first round, I hope so much that it works first time for you!!
stay positive, if it can happen on such a lousy BD month for me, it can happen for anyone else as well - and I hope to see it happen!!
glad everything is going well for you,smallfryplus,5 days ,their strong little swimmers my dh is up a bit in years so that maybe why i was told 2 days.Happy pink days.
Twin sister-every second day is perfect just before and during your fertile time i was told sperm can survive up to 5 day's in the perfect enviroment (ewcm ect) but they lose there oomph! to penetrate the egg if they have been waiting around to long but every 2nd day you have an excellent chance there will be swimmer's there to catch your egg.
Smallfry-good to hear from you and congratz on another pink one as long as all healthy that's all that matter's i have 3 boy's and as you know we lost our first daughter and the way i feel right now i will be happy to have twin boy's (a pink one would be a bonus) but i just want healthy bubbie's i also have 3 friend's babie's due all around the 20-23 of oct including my grrrrrr! SIL and i am secretly praying they are boy's i think i will cope better anyway thank's for wishing me luck.
AFM- i'm counting down until AF show's her head i have never wanted to see her so much in all my life but i am getting excited i went through all my baby stuff today and we have the change table in our room with all the bit's and pieces needed (nappie's wipe's dummie's ect ) just to give us some hope a bit early but it feel's good to see it.
Anyway hope everyone is having a good weekend i'm off to work.
Evening all I hope that we all had a nice weekend X
Smallfry Congrats a little girl how delightful !
Ferrals I'm very interested to hear how you are going and what meds youre on ect when you start your IVF cycle, DH and I are booked in for Jan if the IUI's don't work for us. I can't wait to see your BFP announcement very soon!
TwinSis I have EWCM when I ovulate and again a few days later which has always confused me too. Even when I have the Pregnyl inj to make me spontaneouse ovulate same thing, EWCM the next day, then a few after that..........I can't read my body anymore ,it tells lies all the time!!!
SPFairy I too hope that you don't have to go through a D+C, but I guess if it is going to make you healthier in the long run and get you back on track it's the right thing to do??? I wasn't in that position, I give you strength darling You are still going through a raw, rough time. X
Eliselouise you are a couple days behind me...you have a shorter cycle than I do so lets hold hands and get a BFP this month together and then go annoy the girls in the other thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hearts, it's nice to see you posting again, I've been wondering how you are xx
Good luck with the amino testing Josh'smum X I'm sure everything will work out fine X
Coco are you lurking how are you?? Still miss'n you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XX
Matt'smum how are you feeling ATM, have you thaught about POAS yet?? I send you strength to hold out a bit longer if you haven't already babe XX
Hello to everyone I missed this time round XXXXXX
I had 2nd 50iu of Puregon tonight. Scan on day 10 to see how my eggies are doin, still feels like a long long road for me this month and I'm not even in the TWW yet!!
A lot more needles before I can even think of that
Hi all,Murraycod-I was due to test today(day 30) but once again it was a bfn,so now just have to wait for af to arrive if menopause hasn't kicked in fully,i wish my body would just co-operate,see my fertility specialist on the 15th,am going to ask about having scans through my cycle to see if maybe were getting the timing wrong.Also will get the results back from a test which will show whether i still have the lactating hormone left over from Matthew's pregnancy which apparently can counteract the clomid.What happened to having sex and getting pregnant????Thanks for asking about me and good luck with this cycle.
Hope evryone is well, haven't read through all the posts yet.
Well AF arrived for me last friday, no surprise really, didn't feel pregnant!! Have been away for a few days and anyway bumped into a old school friend of DH's (who we don't really keep in contact with). So he started hassling us about how he thought we would have had a little one on the way and it was DH who eventually said "well, we actually lost our first one". Then this guy asks how far along we were and DH said "13 weeks". This guy turns around and goes "well, at least you weren't far along". Insensitive *****, (his wife is pregnant with their second and never had a m/c so i am trying to excuse the unthoughtful comment). I felt like saying "well, actually i was more than a 1/4 way through my pregnancy". Anyway it just really got under my skin and i need to vent about it!!!!
So CD4 here, if we fall pregnant this month, bubs would be due on the day we found out we lost our last bundle, so i'm hoping that is a sign!
Good luck to everyone at all stages of there cycle.
Matthew's Mum, Smallfryplus, ferrals4, & murraycod - thank you all for your reassurances and helpful info. I am feeling positive about this month again
Mathew's mum - ugh how frustrating. Fingers crossed you get it all sorted
Sparkles - don't you just love insensitive people. Sorry to hear AF arrived
murraycod - my body lies to me too, so annoying. Good luck with your scan!
ferrals4 - yay, maybe all the baby stuff will be a good luck charm.
Smallfryplus - congrats on your pink scan!
DH and I had a fight last night re:TTC. I told him I thought I may have messed up my ovulation date and we needed to BD in case I was ovulating and he didn't want to. I told him it was really important and I didn't want to miss an opportunity and have to wait a whole other month just because he was tired. He got all mad at me and we had a big fight. He said I was obsessing about TTC and it made him not want to. What the? Obsessing? No I'm just trying to maximize our chances for the month. He would like another baby but he doesn't have the smae need that I do to be pregnant right away so he doesn't understand! I'm so gald I have you ladies to "obsess" with
Happily I am going away for 2 weeks. On Thursday DH and I are driving down to Vancouver for Thanksgiving and then when he drives back I am flying on to Calgary to visit my twin sister. AF will be due while I am in Calgary so i will have to pack my HPTs. I won't have much opportunity to get on while I'm away but I will definitely pop in if i have some good news.
Sparkles-sorry it didn't work out for you this month,good luck this month.People don't seem to understand sometimes that it doesn't matter how far our babies made it they were/are still our babies.I have had the joy of holding 3 healthy live newborns and the first and last time i held Matthew i still felt that same overwelming love except it was mixed with a sadness i've never experienced before,but the love we felt from the very start is what makes us mothers & hopefully gives us the strength to keep going on this hard journey...Twinsister-sorry about your fight with dh,it happens,the whole ttc can be very streessful on all our relationships.Hope you have a good holiday and come back with some good news.
Hi Ladies
Been looking at all the posts this morning as didn't get much chance to look over the weekend,
Murrycod got my fingers crossed for you glad you are still feeling positve !
Matthews mum still hoping you get sorted soon when you said about the lactating hormone it got me thinking. Been getting tingly boobs on and off since my MC on Sept 2nd
don't know whats going on with me either no AF its been nearly 5 wks now since D&C so POAS a few times over last week and the weekend and BFN now im thinking maybe im going into the menapause im 44 but would just like to get back on track. So god only knows how your feeling after 11 mnths you got strength girl that will be rewarded one day soon !
Scarypinkfairy a D&C is not that bad its quick and when its over you can get back on track if it needs doing then at least you have a clean uterus for growing your next bub. Thats the way I looked at it as I have had retained placentas after birth and was worried it would happen after my MC so prefered the D&C to know its all cleared out.
Twinsister how fickle men are when your not TTC they are all over you wanting it all the time when you give them the chance to actually do the deed a good few times in a week they get TIRED ! mine is just the same think its in their minds maybe try to not talk about when your o and just let him forget your cycle and just get him to BD when you need him to he will soon forget what day of your cycle you are on. Have a good trip away it will do you both good !
Sparkles how cruel people can be is so disheartening I have other children and have MC 5 times in all now not all after each other, but people say to me ( why you bothering, you got kids and at lest you didn't get full term } as if it matters how far along you get from day 1 your body is growing a tiny human and the amount of changes your body goes through in such a short time makes no difference its still a baby and we still greive makes me sick how insensitive people can be. My own mother said well at your age you should have known better I am 44. No simpathy there thats the main reason I joined this forum as everyone on here knows how it feels !
Well thats about all from me sorry if I rambled a bit just a bit peed off with my own body wish I knew what was going on I feel great fit and healthy then have a few twinges here and there and tingly boobs now and then but Im not pregnant think my body is playing tricks on me. Even dreamed last night I got two blue lines on my POAS how cruel the mind can be.
Well onwards and upwards I say lets hope October is the month for some of us !
!

: spelling !
I am well here, sort of, who knows??
hey craftymummy- don't be depressed, people have big mouths and they always have something to say...don't focus on other people, be happy and be good...i think rewards of patience are always sweet and long lasting...that's my motivation.
eliselouise - don't worry, i hope this Oct is your's, just focus towards "O"-day and hope your wish come true quickly.
Bookworm - you tooo...i think Oct is going to be the magic month for everyone...
Murraycod -thats good, you are trying to divert your mind, doing other things..which is good and refreshing..i started working on my vegie-patch, did here and there, and lost focus...Murraycod, can i ask one thing - i am now thinking the bleeding i thought as inter-menstrual bleeding like in-between cycle bleeding, could be a AF showed up quickly; bcoz after my D&C on 6th aug, my cycle came on 31st aug and again 4-5 days bleeding on 13th sept. Could that be a early cycle showed up? as i am waiting for AF and its already 5th Oct?????? what do you say...am i going to get AF on 11 or 12th oct...???
with me, i am still waiting for AF to show-up and its now 6 days due, checked in the morning pee, still BFN...i dont know where it is? i am feeling bad...i just want to get over with this AF, i never waited for AF so patiently than this...i hope to see her soon. or else,
i am planning to see my GP in a day or so, to see whats happening, whats wrong?
and to all the BB ladies,
hope things are going well for everyone.
love, ric
I was wondering if it was ok for me to join in?
Low down on my story so far.
DF and I decided i would go off the pill in prep for TTC and I fell preg first normal cycle off after 10 yrs on. Was a bit of a rollercoaster, we weren't expecting it, was four months before our wedding. Anyways it turned out i was diagnosed with a blighted ovum and my body wasn't trying to expel it naturally. I ended up taking the RU486 pill which was horrible, the pain was excruciating and i thought i was going to die! Spoke to the Obs and she said no need to wait to TTC again. Just had AF and will be TTC this month. I'm really terrified to be honest. Having an unviable pregnancy really is devastating and i'm so scared of it happening again, i do not want to go through that emotional and physical pain again but we both want so badly to start a family.
How do you get the courage to try again?
And if you fall preg how do you get through the first 12 weeks, i think i'm going to be an emotional wreck, it was so hard last time not knowing what was going to happen!
Hope everyone is well and that this is your week
Babyluv
What he said was so harsh, i had a few ppl make comments like that to me and they do hurt ALOT!
Anyways just wanted to say thinking of you and hoping this is your month
xo
but i really don't want a d&c. why is life so hard?
stay positive, if it can happen on such a lousy BD month for me, it can happen for anyone else as well - and I hope to see it happen!!
Congrats a little girl how delightful !
You are still going through a raw, rough time. X
