    sally - not sure with the maybe baby - i have only just started using the one Rhi sent me over the last 4 or so days and i haven't seen any ferns yet.. but I am sure that O happened over that time from so just not sure.
    Temp wise - from what I understand you often get a dip just before you O and then your temp goes up. If you are preg it stays up (or you can get an implantation dip around 5dpo - i think), If you have a look at my chart it has an old chart on there from when I got pregnant last time. I hope that helps answer your question.

    Shortcake - not sure why it would dip down like that again. are you taking your temp at the same time each day?

    Charm - I know.. we have been chatterboxes :P hehe. I hope that it was just a little early to test and you get a sneaky bfp - look after you ok!

    good night everyone. I will probably be back on tomorrow while I am at work... Tomorrow is one of my slow days. At least in the afternoon my casual comes in and I will have at least someone to talk to... I so need a new job - one that I can actually be somewhat busy at so the time goes faster... and pays really well too lol.. but for now, my wish is for my bfp

    I'm just reposting this so everyone can get my thanks and hugs -

    just want to day thankyou all soo much for the advice and support, guess there's no-one really that understands what you're going through than other women experiencing the same emotional rollercoaster, and what a rollercoaster it is. I'm trying to be strong as i also have ds(9m) to look after and he needs me.
    made the decision to wait out the week and book in for d&c for next week. i couldn't go through with it this morning. don't think i was quite ready to let go of my bubba just yet. i'm just going to stay close to home for the week and just nurture myself and ds and if bubba wants to say goodbye then all good, if not i'll say goodbye next week. think i need this time to give bubbs some little chats and say goodbye in our own time and personal space. also dh will be back and i'll have him at home with me at night rather then being alone which is awful at the moment.
    what more can i say than a huge thankyou for being my shoulder to lean on and i'll hover around to let you know how we're going and also to send you all the very best of baby luck and love.
    huge hugs to you all.

    hi girls.

    sorry just also want to share that i picked some beautiful roses from our garden today and lit a rose candle next to them, so in my mind I have named this little bubba 'my little rose' and will keep the candle lit untill she's gone from me. from now on whenever i'm in our rose garden or pick a rose, it will be in her honour.

    ok - enough from me, cause all we want on here now is positive positive positive!!!! woo hoo!!!!

    cherished--You can also click on "home page setup" right next to "Enter period/signs" when you're looking at your chart. Like boble said, scroll down to the bottom and choose which chart you want to add. If, for example, you have the data written on paper, and not on a previous online chart, you can start a new chart with those dates, and add it accordingly. You can also click on the option to overlay your charts, which helps you compare them easier because they're both on one chart--boble, not sure if you were aware of that, either, but HTH!



    Quick question for MistyFying--I noticed that my moods were reset... am I allowed to use them now, being a Plat. member? Didn't want to try it in case you were still looking for everyone to reset them! Thanks!



    sally--I'm sure you felt like you were thrown for a loop when your sister told you that she's pg. Of course you're happy for her, but please don't feel guilty for being sad for yourself! You're not stupid or irrational--you're heartbroken! While I'm sure it was hard to hear, I think it was respectful of your sister to tell you before you saw each other in person... allowing you to absorb and digest the news before you saw each other face-to-face. I'm sure that she had your best interests at heart. I really hope you enjoy your trip to Broome, sounds like you're well-prepared for your Pearl quest!



    Big *hugs* for erybery, smi, and my fishy friend, megsmum! Oops, lets not forget my other fishy friend, babymiracles--hope your wedding day was beautiful! Lots of for you all!!!



    boble--Hmm... I'm surprised that ff changed your O date... I still say, based on your temps, that you O'ed on CD17! Curious to see your next temp... In case you missed it above, you can also overlay your 2 charts to help you compare them easier. Hope the spotting stops for you!



    Rhi--Woo hoo! Yay for RB having left the building!!!



    jules--You sound very calm and at peace with your decision to nurture yourself and your family, and to take your time in saying goodbye on your own terms. I think the roses and the candle is a beautiful honor for 'your little rose', who will forever bloom in your heart!



    Mel--Enjoy your new car! I just love the new car smell!



    Greenslw--Sorry to hear about the passing of your step-SIL *hugs* I pray she blesses you by helping guide an angel to your next FET!



    sunny--Aww, honey, I'm sorry to hear that damn AF/RB (rat b@st@rd) had the audacity to show, and is being so rough on you! I think we all always feel our lowest during these times.



    charm--I'm sorry to hear about your BFN and your back pain. I've been experiencing worse-than-normal back pain lately, and might have to start getting epidural injections and nerve blocks again. Good times.... Hope your massage therapy helps!



    Shortcake--Hmmm.... I'm also confused with your temp.... I'm it's somehow due to implantation! Don't the days just seem to drag until you can take your temp again, or is that just me and my freak-of-natureness? ROFL....

    Morning my lovely friends

    Mel Great way to start he new thread! Thanks for the vibes babe

    Sally good luck conceiving little Pearl! Broome is lovely, my parents spend 4months there every year.... They will be up there in the next week or so I think... I'm so excited for you, hope your dream comes true (literally) hehehe

    Sunny I hope you feeling better today xo

    Shortcake, I was asking about signs of inplantation and Jen sent me a link to ff. They say you can see a dip before hand, or you may not too. I think the link may of been on around pg 17-18 on the old thread if you would like to track it down (I don't have time this mornig to get it for you, sorry) I also had a did (a little one) and am hoping it was implantation. My chart is really similar to my pg one so I'm going to have a look at non-pg ones on ff when I get home to compare the dips etc before I get too excited!

    Juleswa you are beautiful, the roses and rose candles sound like such a special way to remember your bub

    Jen & Bobble Thanks for the charting info, I will do that later today, hope you're both doing well OXOXO

    charm Sorry to hear about a BFN You will LOVE the massage... DH and I get them all the time, not kahuna (but I have had them) they are lush!

    Have a great day everyone YAY it's the weekend!

    good morning,
    Happy friday everyone.. my 9yo is being a terror grrrrr. i guess today can only go up, right.

    Jen, thanks for the info about the charting. I will give it a try. I know there are some things I cant do on the free version... but that is not something I have tried to do yet, so who knows I hope it works. - just quickly updating - no, doesn't work for me because Im not a vip member. Oh well. thanks anyway Jen

    FF has kept my O date as the 18th - when i was kinda expecting it to move it.. oh well.. I guess I wanted that bd attempt to be before O just to increase the chances a bit sad.

    I hope everyone is gearing up for a good day. xx

    Hi ladies, I was going to attempt persies while at work this morning, but this thread has been so busy there's too much to catch up on. I try to at least read every day if not post. I'm always thinking of you all.

    I just want to welcome smallfryplus. I'm sorry for your loss. The support here is quite honestly amazing. I don't know how I would've coped without being able to come here to vent my frustrations, whisper my hopes and just share this journey with other women who know how hard it is. I wish you all the best as you TTC again.

    AFM - I had my doctor's appointment yesterday morning and she has given me a referral for an u/s to have any time I have a concern. I'm thinking it will come in handy when I get to 9 or 10 weeks which is the time I lost my last bub. I've also booked my first antenatal appointment with the hospital for the 14th of May. I just hope I make it this time. Last time, I had a D&C booked at the exact time and day I would've had my first antenatal appointment. So its starting to feel real and I have finally been brave enough to get a ticker. I'm nauseous all the time now. I woke up at 2am and couldn't get back to sleep until I'd eaten something. But I wouldn't have it any other way.

    Guess What!!

    I went to Fs this morning and guess what those little devil clomid tablets taht have given me a little grief over the last two weeks have worked and I have 2 yes two eggs ready to be released. ( Not sure we will catch both ). That haS REALLY PICKED ME UP AS i HAVE BEEN A LITTLE DOWN AND HAVEN'T BEEN ON HERE READING EVERYONES NEWS SORRY WON'T DO IT AGAIN.
    dAMN CAPS LOCK ON .... sorry wasn't yelling..

    Have been taking our little bubs loss pretty bad lately as my grandmother has been buying stuff ready for my cousins bubs arrival in a month. I know i shouldn't be so upset but she is in a really bad relationship ( ie he hits her ) and he is a huge pot smoker but she gets this tiny bundle of joy and I sit here grieving.... i have to stop as my moments of joy is not going to be ruined by me getting down......

    Two eggs Woo Hoo surely I got catch one right?? so everyone knows what I will be doing this weekend......

    FS said if we not UTD this cycle next we do IUI...interesting concept I must add as I had no idea what that was.

    Jen I also got a + opk so yah even more hey!

    Be back later
    Em
