Hi Pbstar - Just wanted to say congratulations on a great rise in HCG, those numbers are great ! Also, I asked my FS midwife and she said that because progesterone is produced at intervals, instead of a gradual increase like HCG, it may drop a little before it is next reproduction. She said, and this is in her words...'HCG is like a faucet being left on, the water just keeps on going and will continually increase, but progesterone is more like someone filling a sink and then pulling the plug, and then continually trying to re-fill it as it empties...there will be times when its a little bit higher and then a little lower'. It is normal for the progesterone to fluctuate. Also she said your numbers for progestrone are good so dont worry hun, im sure everything is going to be ok .
Ok, well im off, have a great night (or day for some )
jenushka- I'm so sorry you are feeling so much pain. Thinkinf of you!
pbstar- for good results. Issy's words sounds very promising.
Angel Babies- for a surprise bfp for you.
Larz- I am heaps for you. I totally can relate. I lost my left tube in May. AF arrived late this week and I was hysterical. I started thinking I might have another ectoptic.I went in to GP for BT, just to check (even though I got BFN on HPT). I know you really won't feel at ease until the scan shows bub in the right place, but the increasing HCG would defintely help. Looking forward to seeing another big increase tomorrow
Hi to all!!
AFM- Stayed home today with seriously nasty visit from AF .
Evening pregnant or soon to be pregnant ladies !!!!
Tut - obsessing is totally normal... I would be doing exactly the same thing. Can't wait for you to hear the HB - how exciting
Fifi - congrats on the positive at the moment... I hope the next test gives you more information rather than leaving you guessing.
Mollycat - bugger about AF
Larz and PBstar - yaya for the increase in HCG !!!
Tempus - great to hear from you
Jenushka and Issy - hope you both have better days ahead filled with all the joy your deserve
AB - good to hear from you.... give skiing another go (unless of course the BFP comes up) it will take your mind off things
Jen - seems we have following the same pattern with implantation although I am on 10DPO
AFM - panicked this morning as I wiped and had small smear of pinky, browny mucus (TMI) and then started to get cramps for the morning. I thought AF had arrived very early but it all stopped by lunch I suppose tomorrow morning will let me know what is happening in a way with my temp
aaaarrrgggghhh I am starting to overthink this again and really dont want a huge let down...
WTH - I am so sorry to hear about your cat. I am a vet nurse and you wouldn't believe how often I see that happen to the poor kitties. It's like their kidneys just don't last as long as the rest of their bodies It's so unfair. It sounds like you gave her an amazing life if she had lived with you for half of yours. I hope you can take comfort in knowing in the happy memories that you share and the knowledge that you gave her a wonderful home.
Mollycat - That is so freaky that you woke up when Jen "removed" the force field! I'm putting up decorations in preparation for our May babies party!
Easha - OMG, before they diagnosed my gall stone I used to have the worst pain attacks. One night I called my mum in agony and she came to rush me to the hospital. It hurt to move, but it hurt to stay still. I was literally writhing on my bed in pain. The hospital gave me a pain killing shot in the butt that worked fantastically, but I didn't get a chance to tell them that pain killers make me violently ill. They kinda worked it out once the vomitting started and they have to give me a second shot to stop it, lol! The pain killers totally space me out too, and I remember lying there talking about how I was glad I was wearing pretty panties that day because the back of my gown was undone!!!
Tutmae - I won't tell you to relax, because I'm sure that it's jsut not possible. But I will tell you to make sure you take some time to totally embrace your pregnancy and enjoy it This is an amazing and special time for you and your baby, so make sure you don't miss it sweetpea!
Fificlaire - I really hope that your next lot of bloods show the hcg on the way UP and not down. Good luck!
Larz - How fabulous that the hcg is going up so nicely for you! I'm sure that this little bubba has read all the street signs and made it all the way to the correct place in the uterus.
Jenushka - Oh honey, what can I say? The universe needs to stop flicking it's poo at you! They say things come in three's... well I'm sure you've well and truly had AT LEAST your three! I'm sending a rainbow your way so that all the good luck can follow it to you!
pbstar - Super super super blood test results!!!
Angel nuff - You can't convince me that you were trying to look up BB when you got the error. I KNOW that it's just a cover because you were surfing the net for porn!
Jen nuff - I was trying to stay up to check your monring temp, but I'm and nodding off to sleep typing. Gotta go get my ebauty sleep so I don't fall asleep at dinner with Angel and Mr. Angel.
AFM - Started my herbs this morning. Oops, and I just realised that I made them up before I started typing persies, and have forgotten to take them. Oh well, might as well finish typing and then take them...
Anyway, they taste jsut as disgusting as I remember. Sort of reminiscent of dirty dishwater mixed with mud. Not that I have ever drunk dirty dishwater with mud before... But you all get the point. I block my nose, drink it, then stick a teaspoon of honey in my mouth!!
Well, it's beddy time for little ol' nana here! I hope you are all well. Hugs to you all
Pillgirl... are you talking from experience with those web sites... Cause I certainly am not..... next person that goes up to perisher....the end monitor in the row... check it out.... LOL........
Jen Jen... DH is laying in bed..... I have to make him a cup of tea if I m going to chat to you.....lol so i m in our room... but not for long
Thanks to everyone for your well wishes for my test.... I had to buy one this afternoon because I left my stash at home.
tempus...I have some extra housework if you're up for a visit to Indiana...LOL...I know what you mean about having "extra" time in the morning...I'll probably gain 50 lbs because I use mine to stop at McDonalds for breakfast...LOL
*babydust*
larz...great news! I hope the u/s shows a sticky bub for you!
Rachel...Enjoy your holiday and take lots of pictures! I LOVE looking at pictures
jenushka...I think I NEED to read that book ASAP! So sorry about your grandfather...we could all stand to learn from our elders on relationships...they KNEW how to make it work...
pbstar...I sincerely felt the way you described about EDD...I dreaded the date to come but once it did I feel OK...kinda relieved for lack of a better description...
Congrats on your #s! *stickyvibes*
Easha...I am praing that it's implantation for you! Certainly sounds like it!
KL...I swear you MUST be a stand-up comedian in your off hours...once again you had me falling out of my chair with laughter...you definitely give a great visual!
Angel Babies...I gotta go with KL on this one...sounds to me like you were surfing some sites other than BB *wink*
WTH--I have no plans for my EDD... just keep thinking if I ignore it, it won't show up! Ridiculous, I know... but I think it's my brain's way of shielding my heart.
I did have a nice temp drop this am, so I'm hoping that the crampiness I've been having is due to implantation! Would be SO much easier dealing with EDD if I were already pg, so I'm hoping and more than usual this month! Thanks for asking about me! I hope you're doing well, hon!
tutmae--Thanks for the baby dust! I'll swap you for some
jenushka--No wonder you feel picked on by the universe! First of all, I have to say that there's no such thing as selfish tears when it comes to feeling sad over your losses! You have every right to feel that way--and it's far from being selfish! You're still grieving--I'd be more worried if you didn't respond with tears! You've endured so much this year, more than most women could handle--you're amazingly strong--and still so compassionate to be here rooting for us!
I was watching Oprah yesterday, and it was a show about spending money... didn't have anything to do with TTC--but the moral was the same... I guess I have to explain the story a little... husband and wife put house on market and bought another house. The first house hasn't sold, so they've got 2 mortgages. Then they went to buy a new car on the same day they bought the second house, and ended up buying 2 new cars! Then, of course, the husband loses his job, and now they have to sell both homes and both cars to pay off their debt. Anyhow, they realized that in him losing his job, and therefore them losing everything, was really a gift from God... that we don't always see our experiences as gifts, and we just need to open that gift to see the present inside! It's hard to look at a m/c as being a gift (and I'm not saying that it is) but I think all of us are meant to learn something from it to help us all on our journey of life. I'm still trying to figure out what I was supposed to learn--but I do know that without my loss, I wouldn't know any of you--and I think somehow we're all truly connected to each other, and are supposed to support and learn from each other.
Sorry to hear about DH's job--I'm sure a better one is just around the corner! When God closes one door, another one opens--something bigger and better is looming in the near future, I just know it!
So very sorry to hear about your grandparent's health... Wow, 63 years together and they still hold hands! We could all learn so much from a love like that! Is this the g-pa that nicknamed you jenushka? I've always told people that the most brilliant minds of this century are called Jen--they just never believed me!
:goodluck2: with the naturopath/herbalist-- sounds like she's got a great success rate!
Ok... well now my post to you looks like a novel! I hope things are on the rise for you, hon--you can only go up from here! Please remember you're always welcome to cry and vent here--that's what we're here for--complete support and understanding! Sending big and hope you feel better soon!
issy--You have such an inspiring way of focussing on the positives of life! I'm grateful that you're here (well, not that you have to be here, but YKWIM) always ready to help bring someone else up! Big Thanks for being you!
mollycat--I meant to ask you yesterday if you're feeling better? How's that sore throat coming along? I think it would be a great idea for you to look into seeing a naturalist/herbalist. You've been waiting a long time for your BFP--maybe this is the answer you've been searching for! What a long journey you've had... it's about time for something positive to happen for you!
pbstar--What awesome BT results!! Great numbers! :woot:
Sandygirl--Sorry AF's being so nasty! Hope she packs her bags soon!
Easha--Ooh, how exciting, we're experiencing the same symptoms!! I'm your spotting is from implantation! I'm on the look-out for some spotting today! I SO know what you mean about being let down... let's do some positive thinking together: we will get our BFP's this month!!
AJC--You're our mass supplier of and Thanks for always us on! Wow, almost 17 weeks already! Sending lots of bellyrubs! I think I saw in the PAML you referred to your bubs as a "she" is there something you're not telling us, or is it your intuition speaking?
Nuff--Hey you big perv! Thanks so much for staying up to chat with me this am! Have a safe flight to Melb and hope you enjoy your dinner with Pill Girl! Hey, see if you can snag some of her smart arse pills for me, will you? You have no idea how much I'm for your BFP!!! :goodluck2: with POAS!!!
