This is what I attempted to post last night but the stupid computer wouldn't work
Feeling a bit better than when I posted this morning
Joey - the mag is called "making babies" - pretty good. Sorry to hear about your BFN..... I know how you feel but we will get through this together
Sandy - best of luck during your break, hope the lessed stressed approach works quickly
Jen, KL - certainly will fill DH in on the star wars accomplishments..... he has all the episodes on video x2, dvd'sx 2, star wars Xmas special, heaps of figurines, , darth vadar this and that, spaceship things.. The powerhouse musuem is also holding an exhibition (which we have already seen) but have to go again in case there is something different. I have also been subjected to Star Wars movie marathons - yes episode 1 through 6. Gosh must love him to put up with it all. I also get regularly quizzed so I can be educated on the ways of the force so he puts it.
Nickster - great to hear from you - cant wait to see pics of the bub
Jen - your temps still looks great, how long is your cycle normally? when are you likely to test for you someone else has to get a BFP this month as again it is slim pickings for Aug.
Megsmum - best of luck with IVF - it sounsd so complex but atleast the steps required will keep your mind occupied from date to date.
AFM - aaaarrrrgggghhh I was so sure I was UTD this month.... had what I thought was implantation spotting and everything (i have never had that before). I used to think I knew my body so well but just dont know anymore.
DH has been sweet, I got off the loo this morning in tears and although it was 6am he jumped out of bed and held me until I stopped crying. He then sent me sweet text messages signed DH (thought that was cute using the lingo). He also stayed home from karate and cooked me dinner. DH has asked me to consider getting off BB for awhile but I dont think I can. There is still too many people around that dont understand. It's the TWW that that kills me more than anything so I will have to find distractions to stop me overanalysising. I didn't record symptoms or anything this time which helped.
Anyway - next step, have appt tomorrow lunch with gyno, he wants to do tests to have a look at my hormone levels so atleast there is something to do that might effect next month.
Easha--My average cycle is 29 days, supposed to test in 7 days. AF due Sun/Mon. I'm going to watch my temp and see how it goes... if high tomorrow morning, I may at least try my last Dollar store test with FMU and see how that goes. Or I may just decide to use the better one, I don't know! Was hoping to get a BFP with the cheapie first, then confirm it with the better one (wishful thinking!). Feels like I'm always saying "we'll see tomorrow"!
Had to at DH "educating you on the ways of the force"! Aww, but he sounds like such a great, sympathetic guy! I think there's a couple jealous girls here now! And so sweet he signed off with DH! See my DF would just never think of that!
:goodluck2: with your gyno appt and tests! I'm sorry again, hon... I was so sure this was it for you!
Krystie--I told DS that you got to touch the real Darth Vader suit, and you should've seen his eyes--they got so big! I told him that you said you were a bigger fan, lol, and he said "Nooooo! Does she have $100 lego sets with Darth Vader? And Darth Sidious? And does she have the talking Darth Vader mask? I don't think so!" I told him I would ask you....
You girls are funny. Yes, I'm addicted to PEE sticks & my husband wants to make a class for POAS addicted girls. He said I need to go to one if they made one. I was like yeah I didn't think that you could get addicted to these things and here I am spending a good 80 Bucks a month on them!! Go figure... Its bad really is I need to stop...
Was wondering if anyone ever experienced "metal mouth" and what it was like. I opened a brand new bottle of water, and it tasted SO weird! It still doesn't taste normal--but I don't really have a way of explaining what it's like! At times it was almost like a blood aftertaste! But I guess metallic would be the only other way I could really describe it--but I've never experienced anything like this ever! (and remember, I've been pg lots of times!)
Jen- oh Jen Have mercy woman, You totally have to be pregnant! I understand you have been pregnant a few times/or as you say a lot. But, every pregnancy is different. I have only had that taste once and that was when I was pregnant with Aspen my youngest. It tastes almost like an After blood taste like if you lick your finger after cutting it and the blood sits in your mouth/or after you swallow kinda like taste, or if you put a penny in your mouth. Now Go pee on you Answer in the morning!!!! LOL. And if its bfn You can smack me around all you want... Giggle..

Jen - I get metal mouth. For me it has appeared here and there throughout this pg so far. Hope it's a BFP coming up for you! ! ! To me it tastes like I've been sucking on a 5c coin - not that I have ever done that but ykwim. I get it the worst when I eat my muesli of a morning, I think it's the sunflower seeds that set it off.
Jen - I haven't had metal mouth with any of my pgs so can't help you out there. But I wouldn't worry too much about that temp drop, you're only 10 DPO and it could do anything between now and when you expect AF. I think you're still looking good! And I won't give you any advice on POAS because I know what I'd do
smi - I'm so sorry to hear about you and Lee I hope you can work things out somehow.
Jen, Easha, KL and Joey - Thanks so much for the well wishes. AF has arrived this morning, so I am now popping the Pill for the next 3 weeks. Seems kinda ironic taking the Pill in order to get pg!!
I don't know what is it with either I'm still too much of a Rookie or this page is so complicated!!!
On the last thread I left you guys I hit next thread in the bottom and I didn't see you guys but I wrote there.. then never more.. no answers. So I was like I have to find these ladies cuz I miss being here!!!
How is everyone??.. Mollycat?..Jen, kristylove, chappas???? EVERYONE????
What have I missed since July???.. Any Augusr BFPs????? I know I left most of you in the 2ww please tell me how did it go!! At this point I hate myself for being such a rookie here!!
Here is an update on me.....
Well I got lucky.. the nurse called me that someone had canceled and she told me to come in on 8/15/08.
Well we talked about my history and all that stuff. At first the doc did a tummy u/s and she didn't see nothing.. so she told me my bladder was full and to go empty it.. ( the fact that she didn't see anything had my brain thinking all sorts of stuff. .. I was in the verge of tears..) So OMG my heart pounding in my throat with anticipation she still had the screen towards her so she did the vag. u/s. she was silent.. then she said "yup" and I looked at her questioningly.. she turned the screen and through blurred eyes with tears I sobbed so hard of joy that I was shaking the bed..LOL
I made the doctor CRY!! HEHEEH
She said she has never had a patient react that way.. and I say you have no idea the pain I went through to finally see this miracle. OMG I'm tearing up!! Sorry...
I thank GOD almighty for blessing me!! Thanks to him he made the CLomid works.. and since I lost my 2 prev babies on week 6 when she told me the baby measures 7 weeks I was overjoyed. That heartbeat. OMG!! What a beautiful sound!It was music to my ears!!
What a great thing it is to finally have this life in side! what a wonderful blessing!!!!
Here is the pic of my bub: the baby measured 7 weeks I'm due April 2nd and an amazing heartbeat 153 bpm. I can;t believe baby was moving! 1wow ok.. so on the u/s the baby is head down, on top you will see the tiny legs and the tiny butt!! LOL And the circle thingy on the right is the yolk sac! So far baby is healthy!! Oh on top you will notice it says 12weeks its because they use the LMP you know my cycles are longer and I ovulated later on ( I got a BFP on Cycle day 63) so she told me go by the fetal measurements. So I'm Due April 2nd.
Can't wait to hear from all of you.. I'm really sorry I got lost.. I did.. I can even give you the links of the posts that no one replied that I ended up in.
**sigh*** hopefully I will get the hang of this page!!
Loveing all of you and hoping to hear BFP news!!!
Ruthie

Ruthie - U/S is amazing!! congratulations I have my first u/s tomorrow morning and can only hope mine is as good as yours I'm only 5 weeks and had a previous ectopic pregnancy so praying baby is in the right spot this time.
Wish I could hear a heart beat tomorrow, but doc said that wont happen untill 7 weeks.
Thank you so much!! Good luck!!! The heart should be formed by 5 weeks but really don't know if you will be able to hear it.. I heard my 3 yr old son's at 6 weeks so maybe you will!!! I am wishing you the best!! I was so worried about ectopic and all that. I know you are too.. But I will be praying your bub will be healthy and in the coziest spot in your womb!!.
Keep me posted!!!
Is anyone else having big issues with the website???? It seems to be down quite often? This is maybe why there has been no posts for 8 hours.
Any how I will try and post
Smilanatu - sorry to hear about the relationship issues - which ever way it works out it will be for the best - please talk to us if you need to
Babyfever - you should buy shares in the pee stick company with the amount your using Hopefully they bring a BFP for you this time
Larz - for tomorrow u/s - I know everything will be fine
Ruthie - tears are welling in my eyes - what a great pic of your bub... and what an amazing story. Should we come searching for you if you go missing again?? I'll send you a friend request so you can always email if you get lost again
Jen - I know how you feel with testing.... that's why in the end I never did, with all you reported symptoms however gosh it sounds great. When I saw the gyno today he said that as long as the temp stays above the coverline then there really is nothing to worry about until AF is due. Despite the coverline it is supposed to fluctuate up and down so dont go second guessing otherwise you will do your head in As for the metallic taste I had the same with the first PG. Cant wait for you to test
AFM - saw the gyno and he was happy I Ov earlier this month due to the B6 and indicated the temps were not so sluggish this time round. He took bloods and I have to get DH to give a sample. He'll have to do it without me at home an hour before collection so I sure there may be access to porn Poor thing is nervous in case there is something wrong with his swimmers
So I will have these results back sometime next week
Ruthie - congrats on the wonderful u/s - you must be so relieved.
larz - don't expect too much. I went for an u/s at 5.5 weeks and although bub was measuring to date we didn't see a hb. I wasn't expecting to and Ob wasn't either. Good luck and I'll be thinking of you. Am sure everything is going to be fine.
Ruthie - wow, such great news! Congrats on your wonderul scan - here's to another h&h 32 weeks or so...
Easha- I am so sorry to hear AF arrived for you ... I completely understand why you are so disappointed. Each month all this time goes by where you are just thinking and planning and hoping and those hopes are dashed in about 2 secs flat when faced with a bfn or the dreaded AF. I really hope you are doing ok - you have an absolute star of a dh. Glad to hear you have each other to lean on. Good to hear you had a positive gyn appt, and I hope the further tests give you some answers. Big to your dh as well for his nerves...
larz - for your u/s tomorrow - we'd love to hear how you get on...
megsmum - great big - I wish you all the best for your ivf cycle. Keep us posted throughout and we're always here if ever you need. IKWYM about taking the pill to try and get pg when on ivf - when my friend had to do this she was thinking "wtf?!!" Makes sense though to get control of your cycle
wth - Thank you so much for your lovely post following my last one - I really appreciate it. And great big hugs for you - it is never easy hearing the results from the m/c whether they find anything or not. Understanding why your little boy didn't make it helps a little but is still just so very sad. My m/c in March was due to chromosomal problems - it was a little girl and she had Turner's syndrome (only 45 chromosomes, missing the second sex chromosome). Random bad luck and very common we were told, but i still feel like she was my little girl and i am so sad that she didn't have everything she needed to grow safe and strong... I wish you all the best and def pm me if ever you need...
KL - hope everything going ok with you - wish i could share your Star Wars addiction, but I'm more of an indiana jones girl myself... and just for the record I DO NOT rate the last Indiana Jones movie with geriatric harrison. For me they will always end with the Last Crusade ...
joey - glad you had a great trip and so sorry to hear about your BFN...
smilinatu - big big hugs too ... sounds like you're at a big crossroads with your relationship. I hope things can get worked out in the best way for everybody...
jen - thank you for thinking of me every now and again - you are a bit of a star at that I too am very keen for you to poas, but at the same time completely understand that you haven't. I'm in awe of most of my friends in real life who only mosy on down to the shops about a week or 2 after af is due thinking "oh, should prob do a pg test because my period still isn't here..." . Bit different to me who has a constant supply of 10 pg tests in the cupboard at all times and tests at 10 dpo!! Your symptoms do sound promising tho, I have had all of those (esp metal mouth and dizziness) each time I have been pg. Big big big for you whatever tomorrow brings...
afm - am STILL bleeding off and on throughout the day and thoroughly sick of it. d&c was 2 weeks ago exactly so hopefully should ease up soon. No strong pain, or smelliness (bleh - sorry!) or high temps, so am guessing maybe more bleeding because i was further along? Just have to wait. After a couple of v strong + pg tests since the m/c, I finally had a neg last night so looks like the hcg has finally gone. Felt a bit sad, like it was the last little bit of Peanut I had left, but comforting to see my body is dealing with things the way it should be...
Started back at work yesterday and am just not into it... wasn't really into it before. Am hoping to cut a day each week and go back to 3 days/week to spend more time with ds.Prob won't do this until dh gets another job - he has a couple of things lined up so fingers xd...
And have been doing lots of thinking about when to ttc again. The official line in real life is that I am back on the pill again and we are not ttc for at least 6 months bcos we want everyone to leave us alone, however I know I can trust you girls .... dh have been talking and we both 100% want another baby... also been talking about if we suffer another loss - will the pain be less because we waited x amount of months? Prob no, if not might be more painful if we waited. We might as well hand the reins over to the universe again and see what happens (with a bit of help from higher dose folate and low dose aspirin!). So I guess after I get my next af you can add me to the cycle list, and get ready to do a lot of hand holding because i am going to be a nervous wreck!!
Love, hugs and to all of you beautiful, courageous and positive women...
jen - yep!! i had the metal taste too - but it almost tasted like blood sometimes when it def wasn't - weird! I am sending you masses and masses of positive vibes honey!!!
jenushka - just wanted to give you a huge hug!!
smilanatu - oh hun, I wish things could have been different for you!!
easha - sorry about AF!
Larz - GL honey!!
ruthie - wow!! look at ur beautiful bub!! well done!
KL - Let's get that waiter to take a photo of exactly that!
Big big hello and hugs to all my other dear friends in here!!
Smilanatu - Even if it's a mutual decision I'm sure it can't be easy. I really feel for you I'm sure you are making the right decision if it feels right to you though, and we'll all be here for you through everything
Easha - Hmmm, ok, I may have to concede the "biggest starwars loser" title to your DH Don't worry though, I mean it in the nicest way possible hehehe. May the force be with him
On a more serious note though, I'm really sorry about AF. Your DH sounds like he is being such a sweetheart, bless his cotton socks! Hopefully you will find some answers with the testing your gyno will do. Good luck! :HUG:
Megsmum - Sorry about AF, but I am glad you had all the IVF stuff ready to go. Hopefully all the meds and stuff will be kind to your body and not mess you around. Yes, it goes seem weird to be on the pill, lol. I wish you all the luck sweetheart!
Ruthie - Oh my! Look at those adorable little legs! Congratulations again missy!
Larz - Good luck tomorrow. I really hope that you get to hear a little heart beat. That would be so amazing!
Jenushka - OMG! I soooooo love Indiana Jones too! Hmmm, there seems to be a bit of a Harrison Ford theme here... Or a George Lucas theme Actually, you don't want to know what we considered as a name for a boy baby if we had one hehehe. I haven't seen the new Indy movie yet because I was worried about being disappointed, which it sounds like I might. Hmmm, maybe I'll rent the dvd some day.
I remember when I first ovulated again after my D&C I felt that it was a bit bitter sweet. I was happy because I knew I could start TTCing again. But at the same time I felt what you do, that it was the last piece of my angel that I was holding in my body. Big hugs for you Don't worry, we will never let go of your hand! We'll be like Leo Dicaprio in Titanic when whatshername had to pry his hand off hers
for you someone else has to get a BFP this month as again it is slim pickings for Aug.
at DH "educating you on the ways of the force"! Aww, but he sounds like such a great, sympathetic guy! I think there's a couple jealous girls here now! 
And so sweet he signed off with DH! See my DF would just never think of that! 
I told him I would ask you.... 
I hope you can work things out somehow.
I have my first u/s tomorrow morning and can only hope mine is as good as yours
so happy for you!
for tomorrow u/s - I know everything will be fine
sample. He'll have to do it without me at home an hour before collection so I sure there may be access to porn 
for your u/s tomorrow - we'd love to hear how you get on...
