Thanks for your kind words and congratulations. I know you all understand how apprehensive I am and why I am feeling so nervous.
SPF - hope you are doing okay through this rough time......
Murraycod - I have everything crossed for you
Eliselouise - how did you get on? Thinking of you
Sorry no more personals girls......I am a bit all over the shop today.
AFM, got the blood work back from the Dr and she confirmed it was positive for pregnancy and my HCG levels are 70. Since I haven't had a normal cycle, it's hard to know how far along I am but I would guess I am 4w2d tops. Warning TMI - Unfortunately the spotting has now turned into clotting but still not a regular AF. The clots are small but every few hours. Feeling quietly hopeful but considering the clots, we just need to wait and see.
Thanks Elsielouise 85 for your kind words my son who is 24 got married in sept so I was feeling a bit old for being pregnant at his wedding even though I had only told a few people him being one of them. He and his new wife want a big family and he was upset when I lost my baby he is such a help to me emotionally when your own son cares so much. Its a bit odd our family but we have all grown up with nearly always a baby in the house and its hard some days but worth every minute.
I see you lost your 1st baby well don't be too disheartened just think positive and beleive in yourself I am a great beleiver in mind over matter if you want something bad enough in this world you can have it I am proof of that.
Strangelk keep your chin up think positive be strong and who knows all your dreams may come true sooner than you think. Just keep in touch we are all here to help I am new to Australia and rely on this forum so much as I haven't been able to tell anyone about my mc here as when you have a big family like mine all you get is WHY DO YOU WANT MORE ? maybe its not meant to be thats why you lost it ! so helpful NOT!
Anyway girls we must stick together we know what we want and we are going to get it no matter how long or what we have to do !
morning everyone,TwinSister-It's sound like you choose a lovely resting spot for your bub.My dd2 kept caling our bub 'M',when I asked her why? She said 'it hurts more when I say his name.She has just recently started calling him Matthew...Craftymummy-A big family,I think it's great,the more the merrier.I have 3 living children & people are telling me to be happy with what i've got & give up on ttc bubut i not ready to admit defeat.I dont think they understand that one of the main reasons i want to try again is I think it will help ease the pain for my other kids ...Staranglek-Fingers crossed for you and everyone else.
HubbaBuba glad to hear that you now have a fresh cycle, I hope that your appt today shed some light on what's happening. XX Hope AF is being kind to you.
Eliselouise did you get AF today??? If not have you POAS again yet??? XX
Sparkles that is a lot of pregnant women around you babe, That would be really hard. I'm sorry you are having to go through this. It's just not fair at all.
TwinSis I will definately hold out till Wednesday to POAS. I have my stick ready in the bathroom, and promised myself not to cave in on Tues. Youre right though, if I test on Tue, I will only stress about the result if it's Negative, and spend all day convincing myself that it could be wrong blah blah!
Have you found a home for the kitten?
Bonelige sorry you got AF, was right on time no hiding from that one! Saves you suffering through the anxiety if a day or two late I spose X
Craftymummy sending fresh babydust to you XX
Matthew'sMum Hope it goes quicker for you than it has for me sweetheart
StarangelK how you feelin? Has the spotting eased for you? I hope that you are feeling a little more at ease and that your numbers get higher and higher X When do you do anoth BT to find out how things going?? Sticky sticky glue vibes honey XXXXX
Murraycod-Not to much longer now,fingers still crossed,tww just drags on doesn't it.Hope you find a way over the weekend to get a little bit distracted,we send ourselves mad or madder otherwise.Hugs
Hi girls
Hope you are all keeping positive and not too down.
Murrycod can't POAS before you as im not sure of my dates had a D&C sept 3rd and not had AF yet but have been TTC since bleeding stopped 4 days after just couldn't wait but I think this time next week if AF is not here I will POAS just to see. I pray you get a BFP
Starangelk
Hope you are starting to feel rough as thats a good sign your hormones are getting stronger I pray you get a good BT result,
Matthews mum thanks for your kindness I have hope now I know there are afew of us here testing mother nature with our age but will not give up my dream of just one more,
well ok twins would be nice ! How are you doing have you a care plan in action or just TTC like the rest of us I seem to remember your nearly a year since MC so I guess your feeling kinda sore at the moment reliving lasst year,
and to all those I forgot
Have a good long weekend will keep checking the forum all weekend
starangelk-Good luck for Monday,hope you can take it easy on the weekend,i've heard lots of stories of bleeding in pregnancies and it's all been okay.Hugs
craftymummy-My fertility specialist is going to do 2 more rounds of clomid with metformin(pcos)& low dose asprin.Yes ,my little boys 1st anniversary is in November,been the worst time of my life,as i'm sure you can all relate to.Through the pain i have found ways to honour his memory,which has helped me & my family.It still hurts so very much though ,it is not how it should of been.Thanks for asking.
hubba_bubba - yay to AF. (sounds funny since we normally want her to stay away)
bonelige - that makes perfect sense, I probably would have a picked a name in that case too. I had told DS I was PG but I'm not sure if he really understood. When I asked him what he thought we should name the baby he said "Massimo" so I guess our baby kind of had a name too though i doubt we would have kept that one if he/she had made it.
craftymummy - I was going to say "wow 9 kids too", I think that's great! I'd be exhausted though! We're stopping after 2. Your eldest son sounds very loving and sweet. Hopefully you won't see another AF, you'll just go straight to PG
StarAngel - Yay for positive bloodwork! I hope Monday's test goes well and baby is a sticky one!
murraycod - lol at your stick all ready in the bathroom. Sounds just like me. I bought tests yesterday and stashed them within easy reach under the counter (and I'm not even in the TWW yet.)
Matthew's Mum - aw that's so sad your DD had a hard time saying his name. Hopefully you won't need another 2 rounds of clomid and your TWW will end with a BFP
Hi to everyone I've missed.
Not much going on here. AF is just on her way out so now I'm waiting for O. I'm getting kind of excited as for some reason I have a good feeling about this month.
As for the little black kitten, we could not find him a home and my allergies we killing me so we had to take him to the shelter. A good friend of mine works there so she said she'd take good care of him and find him a home. He's very loving so I think he has a good chance.
Morning all, just a quick post before i settle in to watch the grand final (GO SAINTS!!!)
AF still hasnt showed up was due either yesty or today so coz she wasnt here i thought id POAS this morning and BFN *sigh*. So anyway back to waiting again, just wanna no either way, its killing me.
Have a good weekend everyone
Talk soon
hey everyone just wanted to give you an update of how i'm going with the tablets. i'll try not be too gross
had the tablets wednesday then 5 hours later they really did their job. so i went back friday for an ultrasound to check for anything that was left, and they found a 2cm piece still left in, so i had to have more tablets. they have been working, but not as well as the first time, although there is considerably less to pass this time. i have to go back friday so they can do another ultrasound, and if there is more than 1cm left this time i will have to have d&c so that it has gone this time.
i must say the tablets we not as bad as i was expecting. the pain was manageable, and it was not as gross as i thought it would be. just want my body to get back to normal so we can start ttc again. i was lucky to fall pregnant so quickly last time, just hope we have a better outcome next time.
I hope that you don't have to go through a D+C Scarypinkfairy
I'm sorry girls but here I go................
I'm having strong AF cramping I think she's all over for me. I got the cramping 12dpiui last month too so I am absolutely depressed right now. I had a huge cry session thisafternoon and slept on the couch most of the day. Stayed in my PJ's all day. Dn't feel like talking to anyone.
I dunno what to do. I'm loosing all hope of being a mother.
It kills me to think of having to go through another whole month of TTC it feels like light years away.
I'm sure I will get AF before I have BT wednesday now with this cramping.
there is always hope murraycod, so don't give up yet. when i was pregnant i had bad cramping pains before af was due, during and after it was due. so there is hope although i did not have iui, but i would not think that would make a difference. i can only sympathise with you, i have been in my pjs too drinking wine and eating chocolate
Why is it that our bodies cant just let us know what is going on either way?? My normal cycle is 22 days and im now on day 24 and still no AF. I got all excited this morning coz she hadnt turned up so i thought id POAS and still BFN. I have had a little bit of nausea and feeling a bit sick in the tummy but nothing either way to tell me what is going on. I would have thought that if i was pg it would have showed up on the HPT by now?? Has anyone else had similar situation where BFP hasnt showed up untill way later? It is really doing my head in and just wanna know
Sorry for the whinge and i hope everyone has had a good weekend
EliseLouise - what kind of test are you using? I know they are all supposed to show up after AF is due but I have read on here about quite a few people who got a BFP three or four days later, even though they were testing every day.
That would be really hard. I'm sorry you are having to go through this. It's just not fair at all.
was right on time no hiding from that one! Saves you suffering through the anxiety if a day or two late I spose X
Hope it goes quicker for you than it has for me sweetheart 
for you all that are going through a tough time ATM
that it has gone this time. 
AF cramping, I'm 12DPIUI
Warning whinge alert
