Hellooooo ladies! I feel like I've been away FOREVER! LOL
Damn work has just been crazy lately and I don't have a moment to scratch myself! It's driving me bonkers! Soooooo, I've logged in from home today...although we only have dial-up which is pathetically slow so I can't stay on for long :throw_computer:
I just wanted to say that I'm thinking of all of you every day! I promise to come back tomorrow morning and do personals before work starts.
Hope you've all been busy getting the :sperm: to the :egg: LOL
Love & babydust
Belle

Hi All,
Michelle, My friend my heart goes out to you, there is nothing that i can say to ease your feelings but i am here to support you 110% however you are feeling. Our ttc journeys are so different and you are so strong to have made it through all you have been through and still be in one piece so to speak. I am positive that you are going to have another baby. I understand your fear that Caitlyn will be your only child as i felt that aswell however i didnt have your wait to contend with going into your next pregnancy. You know that i am here for you anytime day or night so yell out if i can help in anyway. Hugs to you...
Sez, Oh you are so funny, i think you better keep dtd aswell! Its so great to hear you sounding so positive about all of this and i am really glad that you have decided to try this cycle as i do think that you guys are ready. GL hon i am sending you lots of sticky baby dust (and of course this goes for all of you so ***sprinkle sprinkle***). I wouldnt feel too bad about not dtd with your dh for 8 weeks, i am sure he understands and maybe he even felt the same way. I think from memory it took me about that long too because i had given birth to Katelyn i just couldnt do it and then we got pregnant with Lucy first go. So he had to stay away for awhile then lol...
Tanya, I can understand your desire to ttc right now, but i also understand you wanting to wait until your diet is sorted out. GL though maybe if you catch it right on O you will get that long awaited boy anyway!
Shan, Hi lovey how are you doing? I have been thinking about you with your sons anniversary coming up this week and i hope that you are managing through ok. Are you going to do something nice to honour him on his edd anniversary?
Paige, I am really sorry that AF arrived and dont ever feel silly for feeling sorry for yourself, you have every right to feel this way after what you have been through and we have all felt this way at times this is a hard journey and you need to take care of yourself at this time and lean on us for support.
Belle, Hope work eases up for you soon.
Lisa, How are you doing? Getting any closer to testing?
Love you guys
Sarah xx

Hi Everyone,
Hope you all had great weekends!
My temp took a dive this morning, but still no coverline :( , I think because I didn't have sustained temps the last few days. So I'm not sure if I Od or not. Time will only tell! Didn't bd last night, mainly because dh is so tired from working 12 hour days for the last however long, and I felt like crap all day. Also because I started getting nervous about ttc again when we weren't going to, I had all these thoughts and scenarios running through my head last night when I was in bed (Iwon't put you all through them.....!). I feel very abnormal, but I've decided that if we fall pg this cycle, it's meant to be. If not, we'll just try harder next time!
Will try to get back tonight for personals, dh birthday tomorrow so got family dinner tonight. I've made a yummy cake! Mmmmm!
Have a great day!
Love Sez xoxo
-
Awww Sez! Hang in there! I was sure you would see a temp rise today :( (seems like every time I think that it doesn't happen! Sorry for jinxing you!) Well it means you still have time to get another BD in. I think you need to give DH an early BDay present ;)
Sarah, thank you for being supportive :hug: I think a lot of ppl think I am being stupid re: ttc a boy and the diet etc. So i try not to say too much about it.
Belle, good to hear from you. I hope you get of repite from work this morning, if nothing else but to catch up on here :)
Had a horrid couple of nights with Violet. Last night it took a couple of hours to get her to sleep, the night before she went to sleep fine, but woke when I went to bed and it took until 3am to get her back to sleep! *sigh* I ended up having a shower with her and Emily (Emily eventually woke with all Violets crying) and read them a story and put them soundly back to bed!
Anyway, will be back later

Morning all,
Well...newsflash....
I am a crazy, cranky, mental, hormonal, self-sentred *****! I have NO idea what is wrong with me....this morning I gave hubby a bit of lip when all he was trying to do was be cute...and I wasn in NO MOOD for it. my reason for this is b/c:
1. he says he's getting up at 5am
2. then my alarm goes and he cracks it b/c it woke him up after he's just gotten back to sleep (mind you its now 525am)
3. he then says he's getting up at the same time as me....540 usually...so at 530 I cracked it and got up so I wouldn't be late.
4. then he comes into the bathroom while I'm doing my makeup at 550 :mad: and tries to be cute! NOT HAPPY JAN!!!!!
I felt justified for about 5 minutes and then apologised. Why do I do these things?? I think I'm due for AF in a few days....I don't feel right. :(
How is everyone else? I hope you all had a good w/e. Are there any BFP's?
Luv & hugs,
Kate x.

You sure you aren't preggers Kate?? ;)

Good morning lovelies!
Ok well I've just read through 5 pages of threads so I'm going to attempt to do some personals! LOL
Tanya, I'm so happy to hear that your ultrasound went well. Did the doctor give you any indication about what caused the clots? So are you going to go for it again after this cycle?
Kirsty, I hope the next three months fly by! You'll be TTC again before you know it!
Michelle, I am so so sorry that AF arrived in your house too :( I'm sure it will do you the world of good to take some time off. As Lisa said, it's amazing what miracles happen when we're not trying so hard! Please take some time out for yourself, but stay positive...you WILL have a baby when the time is right.
Jayne, WOO HOO on reaching the 2nd trimester! I agree with Lisa, you don't make me feel uncomfortable in the slightest...you just make me almost wet my pants everytime I read one of your posts! LOL You are a funny funny girl and a delight to have around!!
Sez, LOVE the sexy new av! You and Lisa DO look like twins! LOL I had a squiz at your chart and I wish I could offer some advice, but it looks crazy to me too! That having been said, there are plenty of girls who have fallen pg with crazy charts so here's hoping that you're one of them! It certainly sounds like you DTD around the right time.
Kelly, you poor love, sounds like you've had a rough time of it lately. I hope you get over the gastro bug very soon. You really need to just relax sweetie, or it's going to be a torturous 8 weeks for you! Can you possibly take some time off and go away with your DH for a mini break? I'm sure it would do you the world of good.
Sarah, how are you going sweetie? How wonderful that you have a beautiful little bean baking away in there! :D Has it sunk in yet that you're going to have another bundle? Has the m/s started up yet?
Kate, I hope AF stays away and it's just pg hormones!
Hello to everyone I've missed!
Work is still crazy so I haven't had as much time to log onto BB. But it doesn't mean that I haven't been thinking of all of you! I think that AF will be leaving the building shortly. I can't remember it ever being this heavy...and sooooooooo many clots! :eek: (sorry if TMI) I feel like my body is having a huge spring clean in readiness for the next bub! LOL I was a bit bummed when she arrived but DH has been gorgeous as always...had a huge bunch of pink day lilies delivered to my work AND bought me a few bottles of perfume. If only I could give him the greatest gift of all... *sigh*
Love & babydust

Hello lovelies,
well I tried to post over the weekend and Id written a whole page or more and then the laptop froze up and I havent been able to get back on!
Sez - you are one funny chick...get back into the bedroom woman! You are going to be preggers soon, I can feel it!
Belle - how are you going? Is this the first real af since your loss? If so then maybe its why you had the extra bleeding and clots. I hope your right and its all clean and ready for a new pg! And how sweet is your dh! He could give my dh a few lessons...
Tanya - did you manage to refrain from dtd around O time? After three beautiful girls, its totally understandable that you would like to have a little boy. Im praying it all works out for you and that a blue bfp is on its way next month!
Michelle- if your spying - thinking of you babe :hug:
Kate - oooh sounds like you might have a case of raging pg hormones LOL! How are you feeling otherwise??
Paige sweety - so sorry af has reared her ugly mug. She can be such a cow and its normal to feel sad and sorry. Chin up sweety - you will get through this and fingers crossed at the end of this new cycle it will be a bfp for you.
Kelly - hope your feeling better hun.
Sarah - how are you feeling?
Kirsty, hope all is going well with your bloodwork etc. It wont be long before youre in here full swing! Look forward to having you on board.
Me - well af due in 5 days. I feel some af type pain but mostly I feel bloated and have been having some sharp pain in my bbs - but I have noted they are not as sore or as full as they normally are when af is due. I had a little cramping a few days ago but nothing to write home about. So Im not really confident of a bfp but as always I am queitly hopeful.
Oh and how wonderful - my team won in the footy!Go doggies!!
have a great day!

How's this weather in Sydney...raining one minute....cyclonic the next!!! I'm looking out the window (I'm on the 58th floor here) and it's white...I can't even see the harbour bridge anymore! It's insane!!!!
Well, I'd like it to be preg hormones Tanya but I think it's too early to test. I mean, I'm only up to cycle day 27. Last cycle was 35 days so I'm going to wait a while to test...can anyone of you luvlies the best test to buy? Like is there a REALLY sensitive one??
Other than that I feel ok - I felt crook on Friday night but I think that was b/c we drank wine and ate too much...lol...went out to dinner with a gf and we were reminiscing about the days when we were both single and the trouble we'd get up to....needless to say, hubby was in hysterics cos he couldn't believe the things we used to do....NAUGHTY!
Sorry - off topic there for a minute....
Kell - hope you're feeling better. gastro isn't the best thing to go through at the best of times let alone when you're preg. Hugs - hope you feel better soon.
Sez, - I'm hearing you on the crazy charts. I'm joining you on that...mine still hasn't detected a coverline...stupid thing!...lol...I'm only going to keep charting for the rest of this cycle and if I don't fall, then I'm chucking the charting thing and just going with the theory of shag and shag alot!
Jayne - I'm glad you're around. I'm not uncomfortable at all.
Belle - I've got my fingers crossed for you. Spring clean indeed! I'd say you will be getting ready for a new little human bean soon :)
Sorry to anyone I've missed - I'm trying to do this in a hurry. I'm thinking of you all *mwah*
luv & hugs,
Kate x.

curettes!
OK...I don't know if I'm in the right spot but I just found this site after trying to look up on the internet when you should get your period after a currette. I had a miscarriage and D & C 6 weeks ago and still don't have my period which is starting to get annoying. Reading through some of these posts i was just getting so confused with all the shorthand and i feel like everyone out there seems to know more than me about all this stuff! I was reading about people wanting to get a negative preg test after a currette and I'm not sure why and what everything means! My ob. told me not to start trying again until after i have a normal cycle and i have no idea where i am in my cycle. Can any anyone help i am really confused as to where i am at!!:mad:
-
Megan,
Hi sweety I am so sorry that you had to go through a loss and d&c. If its any help, I didnt after af for 10wks after my d&c. My obgyn told me it was normal to get it anywhere from 6-12wks aftwerwards. I guess we are all different, but if you are concerned maybe speak with your caregiver.
take care
-
Hi Ladies!!
I hope everyone is well.
I just had to pop back in this morning to let you all know that I'm feeling soooo much better. Thank you to everyone for your lovely words and for putting up with all my stressing and crap (he he he - literally)!! Sorry, that was a really bad joke but shows that I really am feeling much better!! Thankfully the gastro settled down on Saturday afternoon, so yesterday I lazed around the house and hired a couple of DVD's. So today, all is good and my spirits are FINALLY high again - I guess it helps that I'm on HOLIDAYS! I've even started getting sore bbs, so I'm secretly feeling confident again! If the little bubs can survive severe gastro, then it can survive anything!!!
Megan76 - Welcome honey - this is a great site and I encourage you to sick around and ask heaps of questions! The girls in here are absolutely amazing and offer sooo much support and encouragement. As for your questions, everyone is different. I'm afraid for me, it took quite a while for my body to get back to normal after the d&c, however on a positive note, after my first completely 'normal' cylce, I fell pg (and am now 6wks) - so there's definitely hope!! After the d&c, I bled for a good few days, then had brownish CM for about 3 weeks!!! I think it took a total of about 7 weeks after the d&c for me to bleed again and even then, it wasn't normal. I would bleed for half a day, then it would stop. A week later, I'd bleed again etc, etc. It was so hard at the time and after a couple of months, DH and I decided to just stop being careful and hope for the best. A couple of weeks later I got a 'normal' af for the first time (almost 3 months after the d&c) and the rest is history. So although my story isn't quite what you may want to hear, I did fall pg again really, really quickly, so there's definitley hope for you - it's just a matter of playing the waiting game. You'll find heaps of support in here though, so stick around!!! Hope that helps you a little.
Lisa - Hope all is well and my fingers are crossed for you!! You never know what this month could bring. I'm sending you all heaps and heaps of sticky **babydust**.
Kate - How are you honey? Don't you just love female hormones?? I'm praying for you too and must say that it is a good sign to be a bit crabby! Sounds like you're fairly relaxed otherwise, which is great. As for tests, I like the Clearblue tests. Tried a different brand (can't think of the name - Crystal Clear or something ) that was supposed to be able to pick up a positive earlier and that's the one I got a BFN on, so then went back to the Clearblue a few days later and got the BFP. GL. Oh and I'm going out in search of the book you recommended this week too - so thanks again!!
Belle - So gald af has nearly left the building - I love that you're looking at it so positively - I'm so sure you're body's having a good clean out and next month will bring you a BFP!! Your DH sounds so gorgeous - how beautiful - he could totally give mine a lesson or two!!! GL this cycle!!
Tanya - It's completely understandable that you would want to try so hard for a boy - don't let anyone make you feel otherwise!! I'm so sure all your hard work will pay off - I really admire you!!
Sarah - Hope all is going well sweety!
Paige - How you are feeling is completely normal and remember everyone is different. As I mentioned above to Megan, my body was all over the place after my m/c and it drove me mad!! But now, I'm pg again, so there's definitely hope for everyone! Vent as much as you like, it definitely helps!!
Shan - How are you? I've completely lost track of where you're at but hope that all is well!!!
I hope I haven't missed too many people - it's been hard keeping up with everything and it certainly doesn't help when you're feeling so down on yourself. I'm pleased to say though, that that phase of my life is now over and I'm looking onwards and upwards. No more complaining and feeling down - the good old, happy Kelly is back in the building and I want you all to get to know her - the other Kelly's been rather annoying and is soo outta here!!
Sooo, I've got my first appoitment with the OB on Wednesday afternoon so wish me luck. It's going to be hard going back there as that's where I found out last time that my bubs had gone but as I said above, all positive thoughts now, so it should be good!!! I'll finally get some piece of mind!!
Love to you all.
Kelly xxx
-
Kelly - wishign you heaps of luck for your ob appointment, glad your back to yourself again sweets - the positive attitude is great. Now you have to keep it up for the rest of the pregnancy!!
jayne - sorry I missed you before - but dont think you will be allowed to stay away from this thread for one minute, well not until we all join you in PAML. Hows it all going?
Well I forgot to tell you guys before - my godmother (from NSW) called my SIL this morning to ask her if I was pg - mind you she called at around 7am! Apparantley someone did a reading of some sort for her and told her id be announcing a pg very soon and i'll be having a pink bundle. So looks like im not the only one obsessed with ME getting pg!!
I'll be going to visit her in November so Im hoping I can confirm this news for her when I get there LOL!!
-
Ooooeeerr Lisa!!! Sounds sooo promising!! You have everyone predicing you'll have a baby soon!
I forgot to metion that I O'ed yesterday (well I am pretty sure I did!) The earliest I have ever O'ed (CD14) And we did BD, But we used the good ol withdrawal method ;)
Tanya
-
Tanya - you cheeky devil! Well I hope a little boy spermie managed to escape and is on his way to the eggy LOL!
Id really like a bfp instead of all those predicitions! I think its funny, but nice to know they care and think about me. Oooh I hope she is right, then I can have my very own little Violet! (I have told you thats the name I want havent I?? Well I do - i love it)
Where is everyone today - very queit in here...
-
Lisa - that sounds great!!! I'm definitely praying that everyone's right and a little pink bundle would just be incredible!! Hang in there, not long to go now before testing!
Tanya - Good on you - I'm with Lisa, I soooo hope a little boy spermie managed to slip through for you! lol.
It certainly is quite in here today!! It's so great being at home but after being so unwell, we've got NO food in the house, so I'd better get myself moving - have a trolley load of food shopping to get done!! I could totally get used to this 'housewife' stuff!!!

Hi girls (yes Lisa - I am lurking around ;)) Feeling a little better but still taking some time out to focus on me. DH is working opposite shifts to me at the moment so that is making it harder when I need the extra hugs. So ... I am meditating and just about to pop in for some reflexology just for the fun (and feel good factor) of it. Your ongoing love, support and words of encouragement mean so very much to me. Thank you. And I will be back in a better frame of mind soon.
Sarah - I will have an email sent to you soon. Thank you. :hug:
-
Hi Girls,
Sez, Oh honey, i certaintly hope that nature takes its course and decides that you are having another baby this month! Your emotions are all over the place right now (as i can remember mine were). GL i think that you have the right attitude, if it happens it was meant to be and if it doesnt your DH better look out next month! GL i hope it works this month!
Tanya, Hey you, all of our ttc journeys are so different and we should not judge each other for our different feelings. I think its great that you and your Dh are going to such great lengths to try for a boy - and i hope it works for you very soon. You need to follow your heart and do what you want and dont listen to anyone else, you are doing whatever you think is right for your family!
Belle, Im sorry you are having a hard time with AF. I certaintly think you have the right attitude... I remember the cycle that i got pregnant with Lucy i was telling my OB that i didnt think that i would get pregnant that cycle because AF went for about 10 days (OMG) and was very heavy...i think the same as you my body was sorting itself out to carry Lucy and im sure glad it did!
Megan, I am sorry about the loss of your baby and you have found the most wonderful group of caring supportive women, i truly hope that we can help you as much as i was helped on your road to another baby.
Lisa, You HAVE to get pregnant soon (if your not already lol) with all these dreams and premonitions girly! Seriously though it all sounds good and how is your tww?
Michelle, Glad to see that you are lurking, bummer about you and Dh working opposite shifts because you sure need each other right now, i am sending you a (((((hug)))))) i know its not the same but i hope it helps!
Love Sarah xx
-
Thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly girls! It is all so confusing! Do you guys think I should definately wait until I have one normal cycle before we try again, or given that its already been 6 weeks is it ok to start trying? I'm not sure if the reasoning behind waiting is mainly for dating purposes or if there is stuff going on inside me that needs more time to heal or something? If anyone has the time could they please fill me in on all the shorthand!! I am pretty naive when it comes to all this pregnancy bizzo! Thanks again, its great to listen to people who have been there before.

Morning all...
I have a confession to make....I went home last night and did a HPT. I know Iknow...it's too early to tell, but you know when you just can't get something out of your mind and you just have to do it or it will drive you insane??...well, I did it and naturally it was negative. But, I'm ok. If it doesn't work this month, then we try again next month. I did have another temp drop this morning so maybe that is telling me something. I guess I'll know more tomorrow when I temp again.
How is everyone? I'm so busy at the mo' I can't scratch myself. I've got to spend the entire day in my boss's office doing loads of filing and fixing invoices and I'm supposed to be trying to find time through the day to create some advertising stuff for my own business (shhhh....don't tell anyone in my office, I'm not supposed to work on my own stuff on company time..ha ha ha).
Luv & hugs,
Kate x.
-
Megan, I think if you are ready to ttc now, then you I don't see why not.
Kate, you never know when you will get a BFP on a HPT, there seems to be girls getting ++ earlier and earlier!! When is af due?
Michelle, I hope the reflexology helps (((hugs)))
Lisa, when are you due to test? I can imagine you woould be starting to get sick of all these pg predictions pointing toward you esp when AF rears her head!!
Yu know it's funny, every cycle I try to get great timing when BDing and this cycle, because we weren't ttc we hit the nail on the head!! Urgh!

Tanya

Hi Megan,
Hope you're feeling ok today! I just wanted to say that I would wait for one 'normal' cycle before starting again. I feel you really need to make sure you're body's cleaned itself out correctly. I guess when I was in that situation, I kept thinking that if we did fall again before one normal cycle and then lost the baby again, I'd blame myself for not waiting longer (although I'm sure it would be nothing to do with that - it's just what my brain would make of the situation).
I really think you're better of just taking the time to deal with your loss and come to terms with everything. It's such a difficult time and I know just when I thought I'd dealt with it all, I'd break down again. It should only be another couple of weeks at the worst, then you'll really be able to keep track of where you're at!
Just my thoughts though - you should know what's right for you!! Good luck. Oh and as for the shorthand - I think there's a listing of it all in the main Belly Belly Forum, with all the introduction information etc - so have a search around there.
Kelly xx

Hello ladies!
Lisa, how many people have asked you if you're pg lately??!! LOL It seems like someone is asking you almost every week!! I'm sure their predictions will come true very shortly, sweets. Do you think you'll test or just wait it out? Are you and your DH still taking those awful herbal concoctions?
Megan, welcome to our (not so) little group! You couldn't have found a lovelier bunch of ladies to share the journey with. I had a D&C a couple of months ago and it took 30 days for AF to arrive (although I bled for the whole 30 days anyway!) The reason that we want to get a BFN after a D&C is because our bodies won't ovulate unless our hCG levels go back to zero. Once AF arrives, you know that your body is ready to go again :) Hope that helps!
Tanya, ooooh I'm hoping that some cheeky little boy swimmers have snuck their way in too ;)
Kelly (oops, I almost wrote Jelly then! LOL), how are you feeling sweetie? Has the m/s fairy paid you a visit yet? Do you have any OB appointments, etc coming up? You lucky duck being at home...I'm so jealous!
Michelle, I'm glad to hear you sounding more positive and taking some time out for yourself. I'm sure some mediation will do wonders for you. Please don't be a stranger...we're all here to support you :hug:
Sarah, how are you going hon? It's amazing how fast your ticker is moving along! You'll be holding your beautiful little bundle before you know it.
Kate, it was probably just too early. When is AF due?
Sez, where are youuuuuuuuuuu??? LOL
Nothing to report here. AF has pretty much left so I'm just waiting (impatiently!) to O. I can't tell you how excited I am about getting to use my OPK's again...I love them!!! ROFL There is something seriously satisfying about seeing two little lines pop up :D
Just off the topic for a sec, DH & I have booked a flight to Fiji for our annual Xmas holiday. We're so excited!!! When we got married there last December we fell in love with the place and people, and just can't wait to go back! Here's hoping that we'll be taking a little stowaway along with us... hehehe
Love & babydust
Belle
-xxxooo-
-
Belle - hellooo. You lucky gal - off to Fiji. DH and I are thinking of going in March. Where in Fiji are you going? Wouldnt it be nice if you could have a bun in the oven when you go! It will be your first 'family' holiday :)
megan - how are you going sweety?
Tanya - maybe you should *not* try more often! i have big hopes for you getting that blue bundle.
kate - its hard to resist the temptation sometimes isnt it? What cd are you? I hope its early and when you test again you see two very dark lines!
Michelle - take all the time you need for yourself sweety and you know we are always here for you.
Sez - where are you lovey? Did you end up doing more bd'ing?
Paige - are you still around hun? I hope your doing well.
Kelly - are you fully better now?? You must be excited about ob tomorrow?
Me - Im not sure if I should test or not or just wait it out. TBH i dont know exactly which day I O'd (i dont chart) so I cant remember when it was and I have no idea how many dpo I am which might make it a bit tricky. But I do know af is due in around 4 days. Ive been having some af type pain but bbs arent sore as they should usually be aroudn this time, so maybe thats a good sign? ha - gees I have no idea, im sure if I read more into 'symptoms' i'll find some more imaginary ones and convince myself im pg LOL! But seriously the only thing I have is some sharp pains shooting through the nips - but thats all! LOL I think I just convinced myself not to test... I'll wait - if no af by monday then i'll poas...
Im going to see the naturopath tomorrow - apparantely she can read aura's and often tells ppl they are pg without them even poas :rolleyes: So if that is true - i should know by tomorrow arvo.
oh and I found two lots of $$ this morning - one in a paper bag I had in the linen closet and the other in a jacket - so totalled $50 this morning! DH reckons its a sign of good fortune coming to our home. He is so funny and naive :p
have a great day:hello:

Okay lovely ladies time for a new thread over here
