    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!!!

    Hi All,

    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

    Thanks for all you support ladies

    Now let's see if I can post this message

    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.

    a mega post - oops :)

    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...

    Hello, me again....

    Thought I'd share an idea with you all that I'm going to put forward...

    Wouldn't it be great to get credits for previous pgs that you could put toward future pgs? If that could actually happen, then i could start my next pg at 20 wks.... wow. *sigh*

    Guess I'm either really tired or have had too much/not enough nurofen ...

    night, night

    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

    Plc - Great idea! I'm sure we'll all bring our cameras, and then the waiter will have to take the photo 3 times!

    Jen nuff - Hey cavechicken! Hmmm, I wonder what you temp will do today. I bet it goes up again
    Well, I managed to get the tickets, but had to reschedule my A appointment to next tuesday They were totally booked out today, and I'm working full days thursday, friday and saturday and she's not there on mondays. Oh well, I'm already looking forward to next Tuesday!
    As for your DS, well maybe (if I can bear to part with it) I'll bring one of my X-wings over with me when I come and he can have it for keeps

    Angel nuff
    - My big-footed, co-evolutionally advanced, cavespeller! I spoke to my A today (because I missed the apt) and asked her about taking the herbs in capsules. She said that if I can be bothered doing it that way there is no problem with it. Yay! So I bought a 100 empty capsules and sat in front of the tv filling 4 days worth that took me about 45 mintues! LOL! How many capsules does your DH have to take each day? My dose works out to 6 capsules in the AM and 6 capsules in the PM! And tomorrow I am going to find out if I can get empty caspules from our supplier at work for cheaper than at the chemist.

    Morning girls.... just waking up.... woke up busting this am and thought it must be close to time to wake up (I didn't have a clock) so I went a head and took my temp first. On the way to the loo I turned on the light to see the time --it was only 3:20! So my temp was only 98.16!! BFN btw.... Grrr! I knew I shouldn't have wasted the good test! Anyhow, went back to bed but slept off and on until 5:40. Took my temp again and it was 98.28. Should I combine the temps to something like 98.22 since the first temp was taken at 3:20 and the second temp was taken after less than 3 hours of sleep? The first temp may just be low because it's way earlier than I normally temp...or it could be lower because I'm not pg... any advise from anyone? I think I had myself convinced it was going to be a BFP--so it was kinda a bummer Hopefully at only 11DPO it's just still too early... Ok, Babyfever, you said I could smack you around if I got a BFN--so here I come! Ok, going to read thru the posts... will be back to catch up on persies...
