Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ August 08 #2

Krystie--So glad you enjoyed your dinner with Nuff and Mr. Angel! I'm glad Angel's a snitch, so she'll tell me what was said behind the front of my back! :rofl: Apparently my ticket got lost in the mail... but I was there in spirit! Can't believe you almost forgot to take pics! But glad that you remembered--I'm really excited to see them!!

What's this about your ex-boyfriend being the one-handed Luke Skywalker?



Man, I've been really bummed that I've missed all the gymnastics--tried to stay up last night to watch, but it was like the very last venue, so I finally went to bed. Just saw the results this am on the news--and I'm behind everyone else, so this isn't a spoiler--but Woo Hoo! USA took gold and silver!!! :woot: USA is highest on the medal count--with Aussie being 3rd--of course, it could be different by now--but from my doorstep, we're still first for now! :cheer:



Nuff--I'm SO happy to hear that you're just the same in person as you are here!!! I always knew you would be--you're too honest and straightforward to be any different! :hug: Now down to business, Snitch, tell me what Pill Girl said about me in front of my back! :rofl: Sure do wish I wasn't so d@mn far away!!

Sending you lots of :pink-babydust: :bluedust: Hope you have a safe flight home! :hug:

Oh, and plc has a new nickname for me, you, and PG--she called us the Fab 3! I thought the 3 Stooges was a little more fitting... but the Fab 3 sure does have a nice ring to it! lol...

issy--Sorry to hear about AF, but even more sorry that you're checking out! What will we do without your inspiring positivity??? I wish you all the best with your uni studies! Hopefully you'll pop in from time to time before the new year to keep us posted on how things are with you! I'm going to miss you, issy! :hug: :hug: :hug:



Sorry girls, will finish persies later--have to get ready to go to DS's school to stuff first-day packets! Be back later! :grouphug:

Hey girls, Some odd reason when my DH did a spy wear clean it desided it was going to take off my remember me button on the top, And Dumb me cannot remember my password for the life of me and when I clicked the rested password (send to email button) it said it will send but I check my mail and BOOM nothing in there from bellybelly.com.. So, I was crying, YElling at poor DH that keeps saying hes sorry. I have been a wreck. So I made a new account. So, Its me Babyfever2007.. lol..

Sorry about the new account but freaking gotta luv the dumb computer...

Babyfever--Did you check your junk mail? The same thing has happened to me before, but I found it under junk mail--for some reason my computer just automatically thought it was junk.

Jen- Yeah I did I have a AOL account, And it was no wear found, And I kept even trying to resend the request and still no email from Belly belly. I just sent an email to flowerchild, to see if she could help out. But, Yeah poor DH got a yelling.. with tears...

Good grief... what a mess... the plumber just left. Last night our toilet in the master 1/2 bath overflowed, DF plunged it, it flushed, everything was fine. This am when I took a shower I noticed the tub wasn't draining like it usually does... thought that was kinda weird. When I got out of the shower, my bathroom floor was flooded--from under the toilet! So I left a note for DF not to take a shower (I was at the school stuffing envelopes). He read the note while on the toilet, and went to flush the toilet, and both bathrooms and tub flooded with nasty cr@ppy water! Almost all our towels were already soaked laying out front of the house, but now we've got NO clean towels left. And we only have cold water to wash with, so there's no way I can wash our towels here at home! Grrr! I am happy to report, tho, that the plumber came out and fixed it, and is billing our landlord, so we didn't even have to pay a dime! There are some advantages to renting! :lol:

So, unfortunately, I have bathrooms to clean--so no more on the persies for now. :wall: It's been really quiet lately--only 3 posts last night while I was sleeping! Hopefully by the time I'm done there will be more posts to read! :hello: and :grouphug: for all!!!

Jen- OMG! What a mess!... I'm so sorry that happened. Wow.... I really hope things get taken care of

What?!?! No posts in 1 1/2 hours??? It took more than 2 hours, but my bathrooms are clean once again! :cheer: But what a disgusting, nasty mess!! :sick:



Did you girls happen to see my super high temp from this am??? :hooray: I'm so hoping that tomorrow's will be another high one! I'm still having the O-type pains--truly feels just like when I O'ed! Nothing else, tho... :crossfingers:

Jen- Yeah the board has been quite quiet today. I'm glad your bathroom is clean again :hug: I bet that is a releaf. Your chart looks very nice, I hope it stays very nice and high for you.

Thanks, Babyfever, I hope so too! :crossfingers: So where are you from? I see the KS, but does it stand for Kansas? :lol: May sound like a dumb question, but someone had WA, and I thought she was from Washington, but she was from Western Australia! So I just ask now, instead of making an assumption! ;)



So where is everyone? It's WAY too quiet in here today!!!

Jen: Oh my!!!!! That temp is SUPER high! :crossfingers: for ya darlin!!!! YAY!!!!

AFM: The vomiting has begun. YAY. No complaining from me. Really. Well, I'm TRYING not to complain. Anyway, I moved my u/s forward so that there was less chance of me vomiting all over the poor u/s tech. So it's scheduled for Tuesday.





Is it Tuesday yet?

tut--Hey stranger! :hug: Been missin' you! Oh no, m/s huh? No worries, it's really hard to not complain about throwing up! I'm like, "yeah, bring on the m/s!" but I hate getting sick, so it's going to be tough to not complain just a little tiny bit if/when I have to go thru that! Yay for an earlier u/s!! :cheer: 2 more sleeps to go!

Jen: I've been lurking.... My memory is like a sieve at the moment so by the time I get through all the posts I've missed and sit down to reply, I've forgotten what I wanted to say. Sheesh. It's actually pretty funny.
Sorry about your bathroom! Yuck and gross!! Glad it got fixed quick smart!
I've got to go to work now and try not to throw up on customers. :crossfingers: hehe

BTW, 10 DAYS until testing????!!!!! Thats just plain unfair!!!!

:hug:

:pink-babydust: :bluedust: for all of us :ttc: Angel, Krystie, smilanatu, mollycat, Easha, joey, Toccara, jenushka, Chappas, megsmum, WTH, tempus, Babyfever, Rachel, & Sandygirl. Van and Issy, thinking of you both, as well! :hug:



:stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: for all our BFP's: fifi, larz, pbstar, tutmae, tina, Ruthie, plc, AJC, & Katiegirl

tut--Well, I don't know if I'll wait that long.... but I'm only 7 DPO so just don't want to test too early... I forget what DPO did you test on? Looked thru the gallery and saw some on 8DPO, but most were 10-12 DPO, so I'm just scared to test too early! But if I start to get more symptoms, I'll test earlier--pinky promise! ;)

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I missed you all yesterday... had a long day and went out last night

Tut - glad your feeling sick :sick: IYKWIM, cant wait to hear about your U/S results

KL - herbs sound foul but if it works then it will be all worth it

Chappas - have an awesome holiday !!

Issy - best of luck over the coming months... hopefully we wont be here but we will be on BB somewhere so I am sure you will find us:hug:

AJC - best of luck for your scans in a few weeks, how exciting :excited:

Megsmum - you are surely to get a :bfp: in a short time through IVF... I'm :pray: you one of the ones that falls 1st go

Larz - your HCG looks awesome are yo going to continue with the BT's??

Jen - how awful to have the bathroom flood....... hope it is all good now, Saw your nice high temp.... looks awsome

AFM - the slight spotting started and stopped on the same day 10DPO ???? :dunno: Today I am 12DPO so very technically could start testing but I wont until Monday which is the AF due date.

I was also overlaying my charts over the last cycle and it appears tomorrows temp is crucial - it must stay up :pray: All I can say is overall I feel weird, sore BB's but different sore to last month and strange sensations in my tum, some cramping fluttering :dunno:

Hi

Jen - that bathroom story sounds like a nightmare, but your temps are looking fabbo this month. Soooooooooo hoping it is your month, sweetie :crossfingers:

Easha - good luck to you too, honey

KrystieLove - yes it is sad the kidney's seem to pack it in early in cats. My cat was still so athletic and had so much personality before her last week. I was so unprepared for it. I chose to be there when she left us. The timing was terrible. Like so many of us girls on here I am having a bl#%dy rotten year.

Tut - congratulations on the vomitting ;):sick:

AFM - it is official. My 3rd MC was a Trisomy 15 boy. So it was nature this time, not my body. This is a mixed blessing. Of my four pregnancies I have now had one normal preg, two chromosonal abnormalities and one unexplained MC. I believe these MC must be egg quality (DH and I have had normal karotyping results for ourselves and no known family history probs). If ANYONE out there has ever heard of someone my age having a few abnormal pregnancies due to wrong number of chromosones, then going on to have a normal pregnancy please PLEASE tell me now. I really need to hear it.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE
:pink-babydust::bluedust:

I'm from Kansas, USA. Kinda by missouri and Colorado/ and Iowa.

Jen- You should really wait till atleast 10 DPO to test. I got the lucky wind with the last pregnancy and got the 8DPO positive test. With my 2 children that I have that are living I didn't get a positive till I was 14 DPO (day of AF). I was really shocked REALLY shocked I always hoped to be like the girls on the FF pee stick gallery and finally I did. So, I pray that you get your BFP early on if not early I pray that you get a bfp all together.

Tut- Congrats on the M/s :hug: I really hope your scans keep going well.

WTH- I'm sorry that this has been going on for you :hug: I'm glad they found whats going on but sorry this has been going on... I really have you in my prayers. I think theres a possibility that me and DH have a chromozone problem as well with our losses, though I wasn't far enough for testing. I do know he has low sperm count and in order for us to get pregnant he has to take fertility blend. I really hope that you have a pregnancy that will stick very soon.

Jen -- yuck what a mess. Your temp's look great.

Where There's Hope - It's so good that you got an answer, not that that changes anything, but sometimes an answer helps with the process. I've been looking further into PCOS and found a book that says taking metformin may decrease the risk of m/c, although the risk of m/c with PCOS is fairly high, makes me wonder if my GP hadn't taken me off the metformin would I have m/c? one of those things i'll never know.

Tutmae - Yay for m/s.

Easha - all the best for whenever you decide to test.

AFM - Well, I'm having one of Jen's old fashioned clean-outs. Just went and visited my MIL in hospital (she had an operation - nothing too serious), come home and had to shower (tmi) very messy. We finally ripped out the old kitchen this morning, so i've started to rip up the rest of the old lino and start on the wall boards. there's some pics of a before and after shot of the back of the house and the new kitchen, although things have been slightly moved around now somewhere in the gallery. I'll have to add some more of the inside, it's so different to what we used to have.

WTH - Honey my 1st m/c was due to one of the Trisomy's - i think it was 16. An indication of egg quality which happens with women who are (ahem) a little older. My
2nd m/c was unexplained but knowing what i know now about my thyroid, that could have been the culprit. So far this pg is ok. I know of at least 2 or 3 other women on BB who are pg in their 3rd trimester and who have previously had m/c's due to one of the Trisomy's (def one lady in particular had Trisomy 15 as a cause) - all of whom are in their mid to late 30's. It can still happen for you honey and it WILL happen for you ;).

OMG you two.... I was reading through and laughing so loud I had to read out to DH what you were saying.... Pillgirl... he cracked it when you mentioned your ex.... use the force luke... use the force....

Was a great night... felt so naughty sneaking off from the conference.... managed to get away with it though and even pull off the presentation I had to do today...... Mind you I kept thinking back to friday night thinking.... ya dag.....LOL

Now if your ever in Melbourne and this big dark 4wd lookin thing comes towards you.... .. RUN... FORREST RUNNNNNNNNN...... it will be pillgirl lookin for a park.

AND... just remember girl... who was the organised one.... who was the one that was havin chit put on her by you and DH... but who was the one who had the umbrella hidden in her hand bag when it started raining... ohhhh hold on.... ohhhh... ohhhh.. the answer is coming to me.... OMG... it was ME... yes i ll repeat that for you.... Capital M... Capital E!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! .... that s ME

Huge hugs hun... it was a great night... I loved it.....

Jen Jen.... watch out when she heads your way... i ll fill you in later when i talk about her in front of her back :ROFL:

Well dont want to put a downer on it all but i do have to let you know.. that AF has raised her ugly head..... But I m being positive... I had a good night last night......and nothin s going to spoil that....

Use the force luke... use the force


OHHHH and Birthday Buddy....... your invitation will be handed over in person next time i am there which is in about 10 weeks.... which will be wonderful because you will have the biggest fattest tummy by then and it will beat mine......hehehehehehehe... see it is always about me.......LMAO...

Angel nuff - Soooo, when are you booking in to go back to the snow? :ROFL:
Thanks for having dinner with me! I'm glad your DH didn't mind me calling him "MR Angel" :)
Thanks for the idea about possibly putting the herbs in capsules. I am definitely going to ask my acupuncturist if I can do that when I go back on tuesday. There was one lot she put me on once that I had to stop taking because it made me nauseous for the next couple of hours.
Use the force... Omg, I swear I was laughing so hard it hurt. And then today all I could remember was how much I laughed and I couldn't even remember where the "luke skywalker" thing came from! Took me like an hour to remember! I still have no idea about the one-handed part! :ROFL:
Ok ok... so miss organised had a brolly... can't help but wonder what else was in the bag too. My mum always said to keep a spare pair of underwear in case of an accident... any pretty panties in there?

Jen nuff - Ewwww, toilet water! I am soooo glad that I've never had a toilet mishap before. I'd freak out if I had to clean it all up.
OMG your temp is higher again! This is so exciting! :D
Hmmm, commando huh? I'll have to think about that.... ;)
Oh, and don't worry about what Angel says. You'll be completely fine when I come over. Well... you'll be fine as long as you keep a brolly in your bag like angel. Even if it doesn't rain at least you'll have something to beat me over the head with ;)

Smilanatu - How did you know I'm a part-time stand up comedian?! Can you get me some gigs is the US? ;)

Tina - I hope you and bubs are doing well my little friend! We miss you :hug:

Van - We miss you too sweetness. Hope the realxing time away is working for you!

Mollycat - Is it just me, or does it seem that quite a few of us in here would like some pink balloons?
I'm glad you are starting to feel better. The old saying that "sharing is caring" doesn't always apply, lol.

pbstar - I hope Issy info has put your mind at ease and that you are able to having some relaxing special time with you baby :)

Babyfever - I have absolutely no idea what herbs in particular I am taking. My acupuncturist has about 50 bazillion different powdered herbs and when she makes up mine she takes a certain weight of powder from lots of the containers and mixes it into one for me. The only one I know for sure was when she put me on deer antler pills. I couldn't swallow them until I found out the the antlers fall off naturally each year! LOL! I thought it might have been like elephant tusks :O

Issy - I'm sorry that you didn't get a surprise bubba, but I'm very glad that your body decided to behave after such a naughty start to the cycle. I wish you all the best with the rest of your studies and I hope that you join us again in your TTC journey soon! :hug:

AJC - So you are going to have a "surprise" at the end of the birth :) It'll be so cool to find out whether your dream was right!

Megsmum - I hope you find that you have no need to start the IVF process. I guess the next few days will give you an answer, and I hope it's a great answer ;)

Larz - Your hcg levels are looking great! I'm so very happy for you!

Tutmae - Is it weird that I am totally jealous that you have morning sickness? :ROFL:

Easha - My fingers are crossed that your temp behaves itself tomorrow morning and does exactly what you want it to!!!

WTH - While I am still devastated about the loss of your little boy, I am glad that you were able to find out why he was not able to stay and be your earth baby. I'm sure there are many many woman that have been in a similar situation and have gone on to have healthy successful pregnancies. Please don't lose hope sweetheart :hug:

plc - I'm already counting down for 10 weeks! Hope you don't mind me and Angel touching your belly! Hehehe.

hey smarty party.... we are in the room

Easha--Hey there, my plodding buddy! I'm :pray: that was implantation spotting you had--especially since it was only for 1 day! :crossfingers: for another high temp for you this am! You're symptoms sound SO promising!! Wouldn't it be cool if we ended up being belly buddies?



WTH--Aww, hon, I'm glad you finally got some answers. I can understand how bittersweet it would be... I'm very grateful for the fact that you now know without a doubt that there was nothing you did, or could have done differently to prevent losing your precious son--that's a major huge thing! I hope you're able to find some peace of mind now--I know it doesn't lessen the hurt, but I :pray: you find some small comfort from it! :hug: Have you given your son a name?



Thanks, Babyfever! If I get an equally high or higher temp tomorrow, then I may POAS then... I'll just keep in mind if it's negative it may just be too early. Is it time for bed yet? I'm ready to take tomorrow's temp! :lol:



mollycat--Oh no, AF turned psycho cleaning lady on you, too? Hope she packs her bags real quick-like, leaving a nice, sparkling clean home for baby! :hug:

Saw your reno pics in the gallery! Looks great, but like a lot of hard work!



Nuff--Thanks for filling me in on all the goss about Pill Girl! She must have been worried, and that's why she posted and ran without chatting with us! Note to self: Bring umbrella when meeting PG!!

Sorry again about AF--your spirit seems light about it, tho, so I'm grateful for that! I'm so glad that you got to ditch your meeting and meet up with PG--sounds like that had a lot to do with your lighthearted attitude! Next time you throw my ticket out in the wind, throw it in the opposite direction!!

:goodluck2: with your FS appt. on Tue!!

Hey Pill Girl, you poster and runner, you! Where were you this am? We waited for you in the chat room!!

Nuff has warned me about you... but I'm not too worried--I'm more worried about everyone else when trouble and trouble-er get together! ;) I think we could cause a big ruckus! Our poor DH's! :lol: Have you been in touch with the travel agent yet? Make sure you let her know that you already have a free pass to MM and 3 $25 passes--I bet it's cheaper than any deal she can find! Can't wait!!



smilanatu--What up G? :lol: Enjoy your weekend! Go catch that egg!!



chappas & Rachel--Hope you're enjoying your hols and having lots of fun!



:hello: Van & issy! You're never far from my thoughts! :hug:


Hi's and :hug: to Toccara & Sandygirl!


megsmum--My cycle bud... :crossfingers: for you! When will you POAS?



joey--Did you get lost on your trip? Can't wait to catch up with you! :hug:

nickster & Canary--You two have been MIA... hope things are going well for you girls! Hope you're enjoying those :bellygrowing: and having a happy and healthy pg'cy! Do either of you know what you're having yet, or will it be a surprise? Sending tons of :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: and lots of :bellyrubs:



Also want to send out :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: to fifi, larz, pbstar, tutmae, Ruthie, tina, plc, AJC, and Katiegirl :bellyrubs: for you girls, too!

Jen-I looked at your chart and it looks like you had a possible Implantation dip at 6 DPO so I'm assuming that when your 8 DPO or 9 DPO you should get a faint line!! Like I said 2-3 days after an dip or Implantation bleeding you should get a extreamly faint positive. Do you have first response tests? If you plan on testing early you def need to use that... Yeah, I'm ready to temp myself to see if I have a Implantion dip like I did last month, I'm praying for an early BFP again. I doubt I'll be lucky again and get that but we will see. It still amuses me how temping can show EXACTLY when the baby implants in you & when you should get the BFP...
I pray that your temp stays up hun..Take a look at my June/July chart you will see were I got my dip at. COMMON JEN'S BFP!!!

KrystieLove- Um, I'm only 4 DPO today Saturday the 16th... lol..And that is an interesting herb deer antlers?? Whoa didn't know there was such a thing to take... ROFLMAO.

KL & BB - u r on!!!10 weeks and counting. BTW, I'm one of the minority I think who loves to have her belly rubbed, so :bellyrubs: are fine. Glad you both had such a great night!

Jen - I'm checking out that chart sweet and I am so hopeful for you especially after the latest rise. I'm concentrating on some special :pray: for you.

WTH - :hug:

Mollycat - oh hun! i'm gonna have a look at the gallery after this and check out the renos. I think another house-reno-warming party is looming!!! YAY!!! Hope ur ok in general sweet.

easha - i have everything crossed for you :hug:

tutmae - glad those pg symptoms are coming on thick and fast - at least for the reassurance. take care hun

BF - how are you and your family going? thinking of you....

Special hello to Issy, LJ, Sandygirl, Chappas, Smilanatu (lunar age buddy), Toccara, Van (how are you sweet - uv been a little quiet), Joey, Fifi, Megsmum, Rachel, Larz (:pray:), pbstar (hope ur well), Ruthie, Tina, AJC, Canary, Katiegirl, Nickster. ok so i copied KL's list - but it's nice to see your name on another post (esp when the sentiment is there) ;).

All well here. Just waiting for u/s next Tuesday. I find I can't stay away from you all so i'm a serial lurker (and part-time poster :redface:). Love for some of you wonderful ladies to join me in PAML - it would just make me so happy.

Hi girls,

I'm back from an awesome week skiing, but brought a cold back with me, so feeling a bit *****ty today. Also, did a HPT yesterday as soon as I got back, and BFN. Did another this morning with 2 different brands (forlife and first response) with FMU and BFN on both :( . Off now for a BT just to be sure, but unfortunately I don't feel UTD this month.

Will catch up on all the news in the next couple of days.

:pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust::pink-babydust::bluedust:

Babyfever--No, I don't have a First Response test, the one I have is a Wal-Mart brand called Answer. It was a 2-pack when I bought it, but used one last month and threw the box away, so all I have is the test. I believe that it could be used up to 5 days before AF--which would make me POAS on 13DPO. I don't know if it will pick it up any earlier than that! :dunno:



plc--Thanks for the extra :pray: I sure could use 'em! So excited to hear all about that beautiful little :heartbeat: after your upcoming u/s next Thurs! I think I asked this before, but can't remember what you said, but do you plan on finding out the sex if possible? I always loved :bellyrubs: as well, so sending you lots of them!



Hey joey! Sorry to hear you brought a cold back with you, but hope you had a great time! Glad to hear you made it back safely! :hug: Sorry to hear about your BFN's... but :crossfingers: for your BT results!!

Babyfever--Forgot to tell you in my last post that the Aussie's are 17 hours ahead of us, so that could explain why your DPO is a little off--I'm actually 8DPO, but it's Sunday there for them, so technically I would be 9DPO on their end. ;) It's gotta be tough getting it right all the time, eh Krystie? :think:



Easha--How was that temp this am???? I'm so anxious for you! :pray: :crossfingers: :goodluck:



Krystie--You've got some 'splaining to do! (my best Desi accent!) Where's your temp for this am, missy??? :hug:

Morning all,

WTH - sorry to here about your little boy - i suppose there is some comfort in knowing why he couldn't stick around :hug:

Mollycat - I am a firm believer in a good clean out once in awhile, think of it has rejuvenation

AB - sorry about AF :angry: but sounds like you had a great time with the girls

KL - thanks for your :pray: hope all is well wtih you

PLC - best of luck for your U/S

Joey - yayayaya joey's back, bugger about the cold and the BFN. cant wait to hear more about your trip

Jen - your temp looks great again - still going up :dance: it would be awesome if we could be belly buddies :bellygrowing: (Jen):bellygrowing: (Easha)

AFM - the temp behaved itself and remains high, dropped by .01 but last time it plummetted much more. Last month I also had spotting 3 days before AF and this month nothing :crossfingers:

I will buy a HPT today but will use all my willpower to not test until tomorrow if the temp remains high

Speaking of using the force I am having to be the best supportive wife today - I am being dragged to the new Starwars cartoon :doh: but I will enjoy my fav gooey thick spanish hot chocolate - yum

Speak later

Easha--My 7 y/o wants to see that movie so bad! :lol: What a trooper you are! :goodluck2: with holding out till tomorrow to POAS!! I'm :pray: for both of us that our temps stay high! :crossfingers:

Jen- Answer is the same as First Responce, So I recomming you using that :hug: I had Positives on First Responce before I really got a good line on the walmart equates. So def use that test I'm very familur with those too. Oh so Aussy is 17 hours ahead okay, DH has been to sydny and forgot what time it is there when its like 10pm here. Thank you. Yeah I'm going to be 5 DPO on Sunday so shes just a little behind doesn't matter lol...I was like Ugh??? Wait I had to think a minute there.

I'm back although it is very quiet in here today.

Jen - the Star wars cartoon was alright - my husband enjoyed it so surely your 7 yr old would too as really it is aimed at kids (dont tell hubby that though:shhh:) he is the biggest star wars fan i know

Babyfever - I bought first response today for testing tomorrow. I was thinking of testing but DH has hidden them til the morning as he thinks it is too early and does not want a miserable wife this afternoon. 14DPO should be ok right??

I sooo want to test but soooo dont want to test IYKWIM :wall::doh:

:pray: for a hight temp tomorrow too

Please send extra loads of :pink-babydust::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy::bluedus t: my way

Easha- My DH loves star wars he wants to see that movie too (BARF) I hate those movies and lord of the rings.. lol. Yes 14 DPO is normally the time you should test, I don't think it will be too early. My fingers are crossed for you hun.

I have decided I am so over renovating. I wonder if DH will let me ring the builder and get him back in. I've just stripped two and a bit walls - as high as the picture rail (only cause I can't reach any higher and cause I was working by myself didn't want to climb a ladder. I've also stripped the rest of the lino tiles and masonite off the floor. I'm so tired. I've got muscles where I didn't know they existed, I'm hurting all over. But it looks great. One more weekend and I should be finished stripping out that room. Next up is the old bathroom. Then DH's boss can come in and measure up for the walls (he's a plasterer). So it should only take the day to put the walls in - if I can con him into doing it for us. :D

I'm now about to clean up the house for work tomorrow - and i've got stuff everywhere.

Easha :goodluck2: for high temps tomorrow :crossfingers: that you'll get a BFP. :pink-babydust::bluedust: just for you

OK girls - I'm reading right back to where I left you all, so sorry if these replys seem a bit dated!

fificlair - Hi and Welcome. Sorry the welcome is a bit late. I hope you have made yourself at home by now. I'm sure you have. Hope everything is going well with you. I am looking forward to reading what happened at your Dr's appt.

Chappas - So glad you have a supportive and understanding DH. Make sure you let him know he's great.

Jen - so did you get that BD on O day? Thanks for your safe and happy wishes while I was away swooshing.

Babyfever - so sorry to hear about your grandpa. I lost my step dad last year to prostate cancer. It's a b!tch. I wish all your family well :hug: Thinking of you. I MCed at 5.5 weeks, and then fell again immediately, and then got a very feint BFP, but AF came on the day after she was due. Went for blood tests and I was actually preg again. Went to a FS and he said that you don't have to wait, and that basically it was just bl00dy bad luck. So if you feel up to it, go for it. I have chatted to and heard about many that have carried to full term straight after MC, so I hope you are one of them. I can't believe the amount of pills you are taking! But if it works, go for it girl. I hope you're good at maths!!

Easha - I didn't know there was such a thing as a TTC mag. What's the name of it? Any good??

Angel babies - You mentioned that in the chat room there was a thread about IVF and it was getting 'heated'. I thought everyone was supportive around here?? What was it all about?

KL - Glad to hear that your DH is supportive. Sorry to hear about AF. Your trip to the accupuncturist sounds great.

Tutmae - No wonder he was staring at your clevage - I'm sure they'd be growing by now!

Pbstar - Great to hear that all is going well with you!!

Rachel - My name is Jo-lene, but I usually go by Jo or Joey.

Easha - Any BFP's yet, or is it too soon?

Jen - Great to hear that FF got it right, and gave you a high score. Don't know if you fixed your ticker or not, but just click on it, and then it will take you to the site where you created it, and then you make the changes, and then it will give you a new URL and you copy and paste that into your BB signature.

Mollycat - Glad to hear that my DH is not the only blanket stealer around!

Babyfever - The night time dream thing ... I get that sometimes, but have never taken notice of what time of my cycle it happens. I'll take more notice in future!

Larz - That's a b!tch about your HCG levels. I hope they come up for you. Looks like they are increasing!! YAY!!

Jenushka - So sorry that the universe is being unkind to you at the moment. :hug: Thinking of you lots.
Who is the herbalist / natropath? PLEASE can I have her details?? With a record like that ... !

WTH - :hug:

Angel Babies - You went to Peisher and didn't call me???!!! Bummer that you didn't have a good time :(

Smilanatu - Let me know if you come up with some tricks that work with DH. My DH is just the same, loves the sex, but hates BDing.

Easha - Hope that spotting what implantation!!

Jen - No, not lost, just spending hours catching up!!



AFM - Sooooo p!ssed off that I'm not UTD! It's all my fault. I know DH can't perform under pressure, and I got so excited a couple of weeks ago, and said "come back to bed, by temp just jumped" and I stressed him out and we couldn't get those swimmers in there. If I had have just been patient and waited till that night, I could have just made it happen, but noooooooo I have to have it right now! So that put him off for a couple of days and we missed the lead up to O. I am soooooo p!ssed off. I am sure that is the reason I am not UTD as I have fallen so easily the last two months in a row. Grrrr.

I feel so ***** today. Did a test this morning and have looked at it 10000 times, just incase it changes on me!!! And went for a BT this morning in the slim chance that I O late, and I'm just not showing up on the HPT's yet. Yeah right! I will prob get the results from my bt tomorrow, but I feel certain it will be a BFN (and it's not like me to be a pessimist, so all the more reason that it will be one). I can't talk to DH about it, cause he's all "it'll happen ... stop worrying abouit". I feel so jealous when I hear you guys talking about how your DH's take you out to dinner when AF arrives etc. Mine just pretty much tells me to stop worrying about it, and that's why it's not happening, cause I'm worrying too much. He even said yesterday that he's so over all the baby stuff and sick of hearing it that he's going to despise this baby before it even arrives. I though that was very harsh - even though I know he didn't mean it. I feel so ***** right now. I can't talk to him about it, I am soooo glad you girls are all here.



So what's the deal with accupuncture? My mum is an accupuncturist, so I should be asking her, but would rather chat with the ppl who have been through it personally, not just done the treatment to others. And I really don't want to talk to anyone who is not TTC right now, cause they don't understand. I am so lucky mt BF is TTC now too. And she is just like me with wanting to do it right, and charting and all that. She has been such a support while we were away skiing. I was texting her several times a day (DH has the *****'s with that too, cause he knows that we're talking about baby stuff!)

Anyway, back to the accupuncturists ... They can help you fall preg / stay preg? What's the deal?? So sick of TTC (after only 3 months - I know, impatient, sorry) and just want it to happen, so how much money do I have to spend, and what do I have to do? Tell me and I'm there.

And what is IYKWIM??

As for the trip... it was great. Some days were a bit blowy, but there was heaps of snow. The best day was the Tuesday, where is was almost a complete white out. It made it so much fun. I was in fits of laughter cause I couldn't see where I was going, and we lost our way (while still feeling safe). Can't really explain it, I guess it's a 'had to be there' moment. DH and DD had not been skiing before, so while they took lessons, I skiied with my dad and step mum. It was a really great time, but I get cold easily and the last couple of days I started to feel the cold pretty bad so didn't enjoy it as much. DH is keen to go next year, but I am telling him that we will have to wait till the following year as we WILL have a bubba next year!

Ok - so that's it for me. I am back to school tomorrow, and have a student teacher in at the moment, so I should have some spare time in my lunch breaks for a change, to catch up on what's going on. So see you tomorrow. Won't be on again tonight. DH would kill me!
