PBStar and Larz - congrats on the fabbo bt results ... gl for your upcoming scans. It's never good to wish time away, but I think 1st tri is one of the times you are completely justified in doing so :)
Did anyone ever read the book when they were little called "Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible No Good Very Bad Day"? Well, despite me being (unfortunately at times) an eternal optimist, I feel like its been Jen and the terrible, horrible no good very bad year..... dh called me about an hour ago to say that he had just been made redundant at work. They are giving him a moderately good redundancy package but he has only been there for just over a year. He works for an ad agency and they have lost a large number of big clients, so dh gets the boot. Just adds to the stress, y'know?
Also found out that my grandfather (aged 87) has prostate cancer. He has been given 5 years, but at his age chemo and surgery aren't good options so we just have to sit with fingers crossed. He is primary carer for my grandmother who is in the early stages of alzheimers - they've been married for 63 years (and still hold hands) and although they've had a wonderful life together it just breaks your heart to see them so frail and uncertain.
And my very good friend from mother's group is pg with her 3rd child - her due date? 18 Feb - my EXACT due date for Peanut.... could not stop crying stupid selfish tears before. Feeling better now but just feel .....picked on by the universe a bit I guess.
Thank you for listening to my whinge! Over it now!
Something positive - my friend is putting me in touch with a naturopath/herbalist lady with a mammoth success rate - something like out of all the women she has treated, 114 out of 120 have had successful pgs following treatment. Can't hurt to try, surely?
Oh, and can't remember who asked, but my real name is Jennifer too, but answer more often to Jen. Some of the most brilliant minds of this century are also called Jen (hey Jen, hehe!). Jenushka (pronounced yenushka) was what my late Russian grandfather used to call me - I think it means "Little Jen" and was his term of endearment. It kind of stuck and even dh calls me "yenush"...
Love, hugs and :pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust: to all
Oh Jenushka! I did not realise you MC :hug:
I have been offline a bit and caught up in my own doldrums.
Firstly - I am so sincerely sorry for your MC :(
Secondly, that is very sad news for your grandpa. He is a beautiful man looking after your grandma. I envy those older couples who can hold hands and just "be". We have so much to learn from people who can love like that.
Thirdly, that sux about DH getting an unexpected redundancy. But I am sure to have captured the wonderful likes of you he has a lot going for him and will find another fulfilling job and was probably going to get poached by another agency anyways. ;)
Fourthly, yep - the whole mother's group has been exactly like that for me. They mention they are going to try one week and "pop" they are pregnant the next. And confident enough to announce it at 4 weeks (whereas I'm too terrified). Some weeks I just don't go. I still make sure I do fun stuff with DD just so I don't feel guilty.
Fourthly, rant and rave as much as you need to. I have. It has helped me. Whinge all you like. PM me if you want.
Fifthly, would love to learn what you learn from the naturopath. I wish we had a miracle worker like that in my neck of the woods. I really hope she helps you :)
Luv WTH x
Jenushka - Im sorry your feeling so down :hug: and im so sorry to hear about your grandfather, my prayers are with you and your family. And its ok to vent, infact its healthy, it help us all sort out our feelings and give them the attention they deserve.
I too feel that this year has not been good at all where pg'cy is concerned. I started the year (literally on New Years eve and day) with a m/c, and things have not gotten any better. Sometimes I think...'how can this be fair? How is it fair to suffer 3 m/c's in a matter of 12 month?' But I guess its not a matter of being fair or not, its just one of those things. Whenever I feel like a 'poor me' minute, I just look at my little boy and everything starts to feel a whole lot better. I do feel like a stronger more resiliant women after having gone through what I have, and maybe thats the lesson I was supposed to learn. I dont know, all I know is that I cant change what has happened, but I can change the way I deal with it. I have let myself grieve properly for my losses, and find a way to focus on the postitives in my life right now. I have come to realise that I cant focus on what should or could have been, but only what IS. Life is not in the past nor in the future, it is right now and thats what I have to focus on.
You have had a difficult year and Im sorry you had to go through what you did. I hope you feel better soon and find the comfort that you need right now. Sending you huge :hug: hun, we are all here for you.
Issy
Jenushka - :grouphug: it's amazing how either everything good comes at once or in our cases all bad things seem to turn up together. here's an extra :hug: for you for your grandfather. i'm sure it won't be long and DH will be snapped up by someone else. There's times when you just hate to look around you and see all the pg bellies. It's not a case of wanting it away from them - you'd just love to be able to join them.
All the best with the naturopath/herbalist. It's something I think I need to look into. I've tried clomid many times over the last twelve years and just had six months on tamoxifen, which my DH doesn't want me back on, maybe it's time to look at some other form. I'm getting too old to wait for to much longer, but I'm just not ready to put wanting another baby aside. A bit crazy seeing as though my boys are 16 and 11 it's almost like starting again - i guess it is - i just know i have so much more to give.
Larz - congratulations. :cheer: that's a great result
jenushka - ur not forgotten in my prayers sweet - I truly feel ur sadness. I hope the universe cuts you and ur family a break soon :hug:
Gooooodness... just been reading a novel to catch up..... Yes Jen Jen... I went to get online up at Perisha Blue... only to be told that belly belly was a sexually explicite site...... I sat there thinking goodness... is some alarm going to go off in a minute with flashing read light... with 'PERVERT....PERVERT....PERVERT" screaming over the loud speaker.
I ve just booked in to Rydges and sat my lap top up straight away.... only here one night and i know the next motel does not have internet. BUT I will be back Saturday night and everythign will go back to normal.
The snow for me was a bit of a waste of time... DH however loved it and after all thats why we went. I was throwing tanties first up because my ski s wouldnt go on.... then when they finally did... i made my way over to the beginners area... went on the training section... fell flat on my butt... and then took my ski s back off and didnt ski again....... I just wasnt going to risk anything.... Chances of the BFP tomorrow are slim.... somewhere between bucklies and sweet f all.... but even the absolute slightest chance and I couldn t risk it.
Pill girl... glad you were laughing at my pervting expense......The funny thing was.... I kept trying....lol.....as if the computer is going to go...ohhh sorry my mistake... and bring up the page. looking forward to tomorrow night...
pbstar..... i m not giving up... just know the chances arent high. I hope you are doing really really really well.......one day at a time remember ;).
BB.....hugs hun
To everyone else... I wont try and go through everyone individually... dont think i ve got that much internet time....lol
hi everyone
jenushka- big :hug: for you, i hope your run of horrible things has ended now and life starts to pick up, i know how you feel, when there is one thing after another and you just start to look up before something kicks you back down again. please know that there is light at the end and you will get some positives eventually. someone once said to me that everything is ok in the end, if it's not ok it's not the end...that has always stuck with me and helped me keep going through the tough times.
jen- i really hope and :pray: this cycle ends with some good news for you. EDD is hard and emotional but i also found it quite a relief to have it over with and almost like a release. will be thinking of you over the coming weeks as that day approaches for you.
issy- as always i find your attitude so inspiring. you have a great outlook, not overly rosy, but really positive and realistic. i love that you roll with the punches and keep looking at the great things in your life. sending you a big :hug: too
tutmae- we have something in common, i'm Phoebe too! that's were the pb comes from in my name
angel- ROFL at you with the pervert alarm going off...you crack me up!
AFM- got results from yesterday's second BT today. so the first one at 4W1day was hcg 335 and prog 95 and then at 4w3days hcg went to 810 and prog to 89. so obviously hcg is doing good but should i be worried about prog dropping or is it normal for it to fluctuate? issy can you ask one of the midwives in your family? i am thinking it is still not considered low so i guess it is ok but just want some advice from you ladies, would rather take care of a prog issue sooner rather than later if you know what i mean...
Hi Pbstar - Just wanted to say congratulations on a great rise in HCG, those numbers are great :dance:! 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 :hug:.
Ok, well im off, have a great night (or day for some ;))
Issy
jenushka- I'm so sorry you are feeling so much pain. Thinkinf of you! :hug:
pbstar- :dance: for good results. Issy's words sounds very promising.
Angel Babies- :pray: for a surprise bfp for you.
Larz- I am :pray: 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 :hug:
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 :heartbeat:
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 !!! :dance:
Tempus - great to hear from you
Jenushka and Issy - hope you both have better days ahead filled with all the joy your deserve :grouphug:
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 :pray:
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 :dunno::dunno: 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... :wall:
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. :hug:
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!!! :ROFL:
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 :hug:
Just popping in to day Hi and shower you all with some :pink-babydust::bluedust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesbo y::pink-babydust::bluedust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesbo y:
Always thinking of my wonderful friends in here :hug:
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.:rolleyes:
Good morning to my FABOLOUS BB gurlies!
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*
jen...here's hoping your TWW ends with a BFP!
Alright ladies I have got to get to work...
:goodluck2: and :pink-babydust::bluedust:to those of us trying to catch :sperm:
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy: to those who've caught it!
:grouphug:
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 :pray: more than usual this month! Thanks for asking about me! :hug: I hope you're doing well, hon!
tutmae--Thanks for the baby dust! I'll swap you for some :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
jenushka--No wonder you feel picked on by the universe! :hug: 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! :rofl:
: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 :hug: 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 :hug: 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! :hug:
pbstar--What awesome BT results!! :cheer: Great numbers! :woot:
Sandygirl--Sorry AF's being so nasty! Hope she packs her bags soon! :hug:
Easha--Ooh, how exciting, we're experiencing the same symptoms!! I'm :pray: your spotting is from implantation! I'm on the look-out for some spotting today! :crossfingers: 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 :bluedust: and :stickyvibesgirl: Thanks for always :cheer: 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! :rofl: 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 :pray: for your BFP!!! :goodluck2: with POAS!!! :pink-babydust: :bluedust:
Krystie--Hey my soon-to-be belly buddy! You missed my temp drop this am!!!!!
Had to LOL at the universe "flinging it's poo" on jenushka--not about the fact that she's having a rough time, just at your terminology! You always have me :rofl: OMG, and the pretty panties... :lol: If you go commando, you wouldn't have to worry about that one! Plus, no wedgies! lol....
:goodluck2: with those nasty herbs! Such dedication! Ok, Nuff bought a new camera and is going to take some pics--don't forget to insert my pic (not the cool chick jen one!) so it looks like I was there with you! :rofl: Oh, and give Nuff a BIG hug from me!! :grouphug: Don't get into too much trouble together! I can just imagine...!!!
smi--OMG, it's already almost O time for you, isn't it? :woot: Go catch that egg, girl!
megsmum & Bfever--How's it going my cycle buds? I'm :crossfingers: for our BFP's!!! How soon until you girls POAS? Oh, BF, I forgot, you're peeing on them for both of us!
Hi plc!! :hug:
tina--You've been MIA lately... I'm :pray: all is well with you and your little one! Sending loads of :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
:hello: chappas & Toccara!
larz-- :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy:
joey--Hope you enjoyed your trip! Aren't you back yet? :hug:
Ruthie--Where did you disappear to, girl? Hope things are going well! :stickyvibesgirl:
fifi-- Here's some more :goodluck2: for your BT's on Monday!!
:hello: and :hug: to tempus and Rach!
Hey Van! You're always in my thoughts and :pray: Sure do miss hearing from you! :hug:
Rachel--Look forward to catching up with you in a couple weeks! Enjoy yourself!!! :hug:
jen....DANG you're makin' the rest of us look bad...LOL
Yes ma'am it is almost O time...I am trying to think of some new "tricks" to keep Lee interested in delivering the goods...he LOVES sex BUT hates BDing :dunno:
May babies here we come!
:pink-babydust::bluedust:
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
Jen - sore throats gone, just left with a runny nose and occasional cough. Now that AF's here, I'm hitting the cold and flu medication. Gotta love those kids that share :p I'm feeling ok, although AF brought her usual headache with her. I just wish she'd left it at home.
That temp drop looks great :pray::pray: that it's a little bub trying to find a place to stick. The EDD is a hard one, but you're strong like the rest of us, so you'll find the right way to get through the day. :hug:
Wow, you girls have been busy overnight. It's so hard to catch up. I don't get a chance to have a look on thursday nights cause I work until 8.30 then its straight to bed to start again at 8.30 on friday morning.
Krystie - that sounds lovely. I want lots of pink balloons for my decorations, so does Jen, although in the end i'll settle for a couple of blue balloons if needed. A birthday present for DS2 would be lovely. (there was too many birthdays in April anyway - it would have been hard to find an empty day - may is much better)
issy- thanks so much for giving me that info, really has given me peace of mind. i wouldn't have been able to get into my doc until next week, so thank you so much for taking that worry off my shoulders so i can just relax this weekend! :hug::hug::hug:
smilanatu--How am I making you girls look bad? From the colors, or am I leaving too many posts? :) If only we could use more than 8 smilies per post, I wouldn't have to leave so many! :lol:
Men! :rolleyes: DF is like that, too! Better put on the black latex and break out the *whip*! Using your best Marilyn Monroe voice, tell him you're he's been a baaaad boy, and he needs a whippin'! That should get his attention (literally! :rofl:)
mollycat--Glad to hear you're feeling better, hope the meds help knock it completely away! Sorry AF brought along her headache to share--I had one this am, but it's finally gone. I agree, too many b-days in April... besides, April showers bring May flowers, so we're just sowing the seeds this one last time! :hug:
pbstar--Hey mama! :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: Can't ever get enough of those!!
Hey Nuff and Pill Girl, what time's dinner? I've decided to hitch a ride, so save me a seat! ;)
jen - it's just my intuition speaking. I really don't care either way. I had a really vivid dream around 12 weeks where my Nana (who passed away in 2000) came to me wearing a pink dress & smiling. She didn't say anything she just looked at me smiling.
Larz + pbstar - Congrats on the rise in hcg levels :stickyvibesgirl:
Mollycat - Sorry AF showed her ugly face.
Jenuska - Sorry you are having such a tough time :hug:
Easha- :crossfingers: for you
Fifi- Good luck for your results on Monday
Jen- :pink-babydust::pink-babydust::pink-babydust: for you, will be away for week.
:hello: Everyone else!!!
AFM - Finally finished packing looking forward to hols now.
AJC--I'm definitely curious now if your dream was a sign from your Nana! I really believe that's possible! Will you have another scan soon, and are you planning on finding out the sex, if bubs is positioned well enough to see? :stickyvibesgirl:
chappas--Thanks for the baby dust (and pink, even! ;) ) Hope you enjoy your trip--look forward to catching up when you return! :hug:
Angelbabies- That I must say is very funny....Sound's like you are having a good time, May I join for a few days?? lol...
PB- Yes it is normal for your temps in pregnancy to go up and down a little bit, As long as it doesn't drop to drastically I think you shall be okay. :hug:, If you think theres a problem ask to see if you can get a progesterone check (or rechecked).
Easha- OHHH I hope its IB I have my fingers crossed for you hun :Hug:
KrystieLove- I'll switch you my pills that are hard to swallow for your liquids?? Hey, Can you put a list of what all your on I'm intrested to see what they have you on, I put in my list a few posts ago. That way if anyone was intrested in what I was taking and what they did they could see. That way if they were intrested in it they could have a good veiw of what it does.?? Maybe I could get some stuff going on with yours and see if anything good is in there and start taking them too?? LOL.. (sorry if I'm being nosy) ... But, i'm still new at the whole Herbal med thing so I'm very intrested in others and there (HERBS LOL). SHARE PLZ>.. LOL..
AF arrived this morning - right on cue...I suppose thats a good thing as I thought my 16 day bleeding episode would have messed it up a bit. So thats it my friends...I now wait until Jan 2009. When I come back I hope to see you all gone from this thread...even though Ill be lonely.
I wish you all goodluck in the coming months...may all of you get your long awaited and very much deserved BFP's very soon. Thankyou for all your support over the year, I appreciate it more than I can say. I will catch up with you all in the new year.
:hug: to all of you and thankyou.
Issy
jen - we have the mid-term scan on 5 Sep. Not going to find out sex though.
The dream with my Nana felt so real, I cried when I woke up because I really felt like I'd seen her again. One of the last things she said in her last days before her passing (which was btw very sudden & not expected even 5 mins before it happened) was that she was going to start making some things for her grandchildren to put away for when they have babies. I do have a little knitted teddy bear and a shawl (sp?) that she had already done. It's lovely to have those special things.
issy - GL :hug:
Hi ALL,
Can't thank you all enough for your support over the past couple of days, just chatting with you all makes me feel a lot better and stronger through this waiting period.
I had another Blood test this morning, will get results this afternoon:pray:
Been talking to my little one and telling it to stay strong and grow:hug:
Sandygirl - I know how you feel, my ectopic was such a surprise to me. I had no pain what so ever, I'm young, very fit and healthy and it still happened. I take some peace in the fact there was nothing I could have done to prevent it...and just pray it doesn't happen again. I cried for 2 weeks straight after my operation and just wanted my baby back, but I now know that my baby wasn't strong enough and that it happened for a reason. I hope AF doesn't stay for too long and be happy that every day is a step closer to ovulation and a healthy baby:hug::hug:
Jen: Hey, quick question. Do you ever hitch a ride to Mexico to get your gas???? I've heard it's THE thing to do in Cali....
tut-- No, I've never even heard of that! Maybe it's the people in Southern CA that do it--the ones closer to Mexico... but I live in central CA. Gas has gone down to $4.07/gal. :woot: Who would've ever thought that would be "cheap"?
jen - hey hun!
you know my invitation for dinner with BB and KL tonight must still be in the mail too. It better hurry up and get here - only hours to go :)
hope ur ok - i do lurk all the time to keep posted with all the goings-on in here. take care sweet.
Hi everyone,
I thought I'd better pop my head in and say :hello: and give you all an update, especially Jen - cycle buddy :D
Assuming that I did actually ovulate, which is a bit uncertain after my tracking results this month, I am 11DPO today with no sign of AF yet. I think I probably did ovulate, but we never picked it up on the blood tests, and when we saw the FS this week he said he thinks so too. So we probably are in with a chance this month even though we didn't have the IUI done. He also thinks that my cyst may just have been the corpus luteum, but I'm having another scan on Monday to check on it. Hopefully there will be no cyst to found!
Anyway, I am expecting AF to arrive in the next few days, I really am not convinced that I am pregnant, but who knows I guess? We are all ready to start our first IVF cycle in any case, I have the Pill here ready to start taking on CD1 and then I start the nasal spray on CD18. I've also got my nurse interview and counselling for IVF all organised for next week, so we are all systems go to start IVF as soon as AF shows up.
Hope everyone is doing well, and have a nice weekend :) Will try and do personals next week ;)

Just a quick hello and I promise all the persies are coming tomorrow :)
Just wanted to let you all know that if you were wondering what Angel is like in real life... all you have to do is imagine what you think she would be like based on how she writes, and that is exactly what she is like! :ROFL: She's super sweet, but her and her hubby had me in stitches!
Jen - We were thinking about you! And possibly talking behind the front of your back ;) I was going to print out your cool chick photo and take it with us, but I wasn't sure they would let us in the restaurant...
plc - Next time you are sooooo coming too! We'll organise something properly next time, instead of the last minute "oh you're in town, cool, skip out on your conference and come see me" :ROFL:
AFM - Apparently my ex-boyfriend is the one-handed Luke Skywalker! Who would have thought?!
plc--Thanks for the chat this am! We don't get to hear from you too often, so I really enjoy our chats! :hug: Sending lots of :bellyrubs: for that growing belly of yours!
megsmum--Good luck on Monday with your scan! I'm :pray: the cyst is gone! Sounds like everything's all set and in order for IVF, but hoping you'll be surprised with a BFP before then! :crossfingers: for you cycle buddy!!
larz--Nice increase in numbers! :dance: Wishing you :goodluck2: for your u/s on Wed!! :stickyvibesgirl:
smilanatu--Hey girl! Yay for Friday! *dancing a jig* No BD'ing for you and Lee this weekend--just dirty, sweaty sex--that should take the pressure off him! :lol: Good luck catching that egg!
