Hello my lovely ladies...

Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas. I had a lovely time with my family....DH's is another story, for another day, but hey....i'm over it, so who cares..right????

Yay for Santa.....he bought me and DH a new lawn mower...(thanks mum...hehe)

Once again, i hope you all enjoyed yourselves....

Love and kisses...xxxxx

Merry Christmas to you all :)
I hope everyone had a great day :)

Hi Girls, not much going on in here!! I trust everyone had a nice Christmas/ Boxing Day - we sure did! DS got soooo spoilt - he now has more cars & cars memorabilia than you can poke a stick at (cars the movie that is.....).
I trust everyone is travelling along nicely - anybody due to test or feeling particularly good this month?
Me? Well I'm 7dpo today & my temps are still high but you would expect that either way at this stage. I wish I got some symptoms when I get pg but the last 2 times there has been very little so....who knows.
How are all the pg bellies? Any good stuff starting to happen yet (m/s, peeing all day long etc...).Anyway bbl. Love to all:D

Hi girls thought i would come in and say hello i have only just miscarried but im very much would like to be pg again soon i really want a bubba b4 christmas next yr so i can enjoy the time more then i did this yr and we were soooo looking forward to having a bubba for christmas.. My Partner Andrew is keen to so i think why our angel baby will be watching over us protecting us.. Then in the next minute i think i cant do this i cant go through this again... Then i think oh i really want to be pg again.. So hard.. My bleeding has just started to settle down going to wait until i get another period then i think i might start temping again and start ttc. I have odd period lengths sometimes 30 days others 40 days so temping is a must to work out my cycle pattern only temped for one month b4 we fell pg with angel baby so im hoping it will be the same with the next one...

Im just wondering how long did you guys wait b4 ttc.. One dr says 3 mths and another says one peroid.. Thanks girls

Hi my lovely ladies :)

Just popping in quickly to say hello and see how you are all doing.

All is going well here... I think I have a sticky one :) My nausea is getting worse which is very reasuring!!

I'll pop back in soon

Tanya

Hi ladies, i just lost a huge post coz i put a stupid 'percent sign' in it and it timed out the server before i realised...silly thing.

Jane - As much as we hate to see new people in here, you are more than welcome to join us. As for your question, it's a question that gets asked a lot in here, and my opinon is...Start when YOU are ready. Everyone says different things, so do what you feel is best for you. Your bleeding is slowing up, so why not start temping straight away and get back into the swing of things. There's no harm in it, and even if it shows nothing until you get your next AF, at least in your mind you can feel as if you are doing something IYKWIM...good luck hun...xxx

Tanya - Hi lovey, I'm so pleased to hear that things are going so well. That m/s sure is a good sign...xxxx

Hi to everyone else. I hope you are all doing okay...xxx

Me - Well, I THINK i've O'd, but not 100 percent sure. My temping has been all over the place. I either have really bad nights and don't sleep, or get woken up startled and jump out of bed withing grabbing the thermometer first or i just completely forget....Who know's what's going on, but you girls can check out my chart if you want to. Have a great day everyone...xxxx

Hi ya girls,

Hope everyone is doing well.

janeo - I am sorry for your loss sweetie, you will find tones of support in here... like Shan said you will know when it is right for you to start again xxxx

Shan- Hope you caught the eggie!! I have a great feeling about this one :D

Tanya - Yay to a sticky one :lol:

Me well I had a u/s today just to make sure bub is in the right spot this time, we saw a sac yay :P and I am 5weeks and 1 day so they want me to come back in 2 weeks because it was too early for to see a fetol (spl?) pole. So I am relieved but a little anxious about waiting 2 weeks hmmm oh well I am sure it is me just being a worrier :lol:

Hope everyone is well xxxx

Oh Kez, i'm glad that things are progressing nicely, and everything will be fine....

I hope your feeling about me is spot on....fingers crossed hey..xxx

Hi everyone! Hope you all had a great xmas and are gearing yourselves up for your new years celebrations!! FYI I had my 12 week scan yesterday and all was GOOD!! Low Downs Syndrome risk and heart beat ticking away. I am a BIT more relaxed now and am enjoying telling people! Thanks to you all for your help this year!! Have i missed any BFP's????

Megan, i'm so glad that things are going so well for you. We hadn't seen you for a while and were starting to get a bit worried...

As for the BFP's...how long has it been since you were in here...maybe you need to read up and check them all out....we've had HEAPS!!!...well except me...boohoo

Hi girls well i have decided to start taking my temp from tomorrow got a check up with dr tomorrow.. I have a couple of questions.. What is with getting saggy boobs and funny looking nipples just had a shower and i had noticed my bbs getting smaller but odd shaped now one pointy and one round boob what the??? Plus one nipple has gone back to normal and the other funny looking is this normal??

I had a talk to Andrew and wants to let my body go back to normal b4 starting again but i really want to start straight after next period i really want to get my mind off our angel baby and into the future had a really bad day today and all i could think about was i really really wanted to be pg again and couldnt wait..

Hi peoples....
Shan -I hope this is your month too - I think our cycles are similar. Are you about CD20? I am now 8dpo so the wait is well & truly on!
Megan - glad to hear your scan went well - what a relief that must be!
Kez, glad all went well with you too!
Janeo - so sorry about your loss & hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. Speak to DH about how you feel re: TTC again & see if you can come to some agreement. I think it is totally natural to want to be pg again ASAP - I know I feel that way & my loss was in August (still waiting for that elusive BFP though - hope this is the month!!).
Hi to all the other lovelies.....
PS: I thought I had attached my chart to the ticker but something went wrong somewhere. Can anyone tell me how to get my ticker showing & how to link to my chart!?!?

Go to Sharing on the rhs of your chart page in ff then go to home page set up and at the top in a long box is a the link (http://www etc) highlight it copy and then paste it to your signature in bb good luck i hope that makes sense.. I had a talk to him and he says its ok to start after my next period he understood where i was coming from which is good...

thanks Janeo, I think I've got it this time!

Jane-- Your bb's will sort themselves out eventually. I remember thinking how "deflated" mine looked too. Your nipples may stay a little larger than what they were originally and may even be darker than they were-- this is normal. I totally understand what you are saying about trying again straight away. After my first m/c we chose to wait and focus on other things-- our new puppy and our renovations!! which were great distractions. I also found that I needed time to digest what had haapened. After my second (and hopefully LAST) m/c we only waited until I got my first 'REAL" af then started TTC again. It only took 2 cycles and it looks like we have a nice STICKY little bubba! It's very personal but do be prepared to feel differently in a few weeks time. I found I was really up and down-- really positive one minute then scared and wanting to wait the next. You'll find what works for you-- just don't put your grief to the side. Feel what you feel when you feel it. Goodluck! I will be thinking of you!
Hope xoxo

Hi girls,

I hope you all had a happy Christmas. I have so much to catch up on!

mummyto1 - good luck! I hope you caught the egg!

janeo - welcome (but hopefully your stay will be short!) I totally understand where you are coming from - I was the same after my m/c, I just wanted to be pg again, but at the same time was afraid of being pg again! It does get easier with time, and we are all here to make it easier for you. I think it is normal for your body to change a fair bit. My bbs still hurt days after my m/c, and then one day when I was getting into the shower I suddenly noticed how much smaller they had gotten again! Bugger!

Hope, Tanya, Kez & Megan - I am so glad that things are going well for you all!

Hello to everyone else - I hope you are all going well.

Well, I am 11DPO today and wouldn't usually be testing this early, but am seeing my dr today anyway, so thought I may as well test. I got an early response test, used FMU and got a very faint but definitely there BFP.... I am not getting excited, and am so unsure if this is for real or not. Is it possible to get a BFP from left over HCG from the previous pregnancy? It has now been 11 weeks since my m/c and I have O'ed twice. I had assumed that if you have O'ed, you mustn't have any hcg left in your system. Is that right? It is too early to show up in a dr's test I think, as they are usually not as senstive, and my doctor had told me to wait 3 months, which I haven't, so I hope he doesn't tell me off. Part of me is scared it is just a chemical pg as it is so early. I am just going to try to assume that I am not pg for the moment. The only symptom I have had is feeling a little nauseous for the last couple of days. This is so hard - it is just not exciting anymore and I am just expecting to lose it any second...

Bun, OMG, how cool is that!! I will try & stay calm & not get you too excited but CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I hope this one is super glue sticky for you. I also hope your Dr is understanding. Well done girlfriend!!

OMG Bun - :happyforyou: That is great news!! Yes it will be the stickest buba ever!! Postive thoughts babe, I know its hard because I struggle too BUT we must be positive :P xxx

Good on you BUN!!!! Just enjoy it as much as you can. CONGRATS! :hug:
Hopexo

Bun - Congratulations!! I think it is only natural to feel like you do. Go to the Dr's and get a blood test. The HCG levels from 11wks ago shouldn't reflect on this BFP *hugs*

Thank you girls! You are all so wonderful.

I just got back from the doctor's and he said I am definitely pg, the blood tests he had me do last week were all good and my progesterone is nice and high and there is no way that the BFP is HCG from the last pg. So, I have my blood test and u/s forms, but will wait a while before I do anything. I am going to just pretend that it hasn't happened for the next few days at least, as it is just soooo early.

I hope you guys don't mind me hanging around for a bit - I don't feel ready to go to any other forums yet, so I might keep posting in here for a while...

Bun - You are funny :lol: of course you can hang around, gee babe I am still here xxx Fab news on your results, I now that it is scary but we are all here for you anytime hun

YAY Bun exciting news... It s nice to be reading exciting things again instead of crying when reading posts iykwim...

Oh my god Bun...that's fantastic news. I'm so very pleased for you, and this WILL be the stickest bubba ever....Congratulations...you soooo deserve it...xxxxx

GOOD WORK BUN!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Shan - 2007 is YOUR year for a BFP!! If you can get that temping down pat.....ha ha

I hope so Megan....did you have a look at my chart though..it's all over the joint..lol.

Hiya girls,

I trust you've all ahd a fantastic chrissy.... the question is.... were we naughty or nice? ;)

Wooooooo Hooooo Bun, congratulations hun. Sending you heaps n heaps of :stickyvibesgirl:

Congrats Bun!! Hope this one sticks!

Hello to everyone else! Sorry I haven't been around but Christmas was hectic and a difficult time for us. Then I got the wild hair to paint our bedroom and my kids are also home from school. My niece had her tonsils out and so my nephews were here and the neighbor kids. At 1 point yesterday, there were 9 kids in my house. It was nuts!

I will try later for personals, my arms hurt so bad from painting.

Bun, how are things going for you. Is it sinking in yet?
Shan, what are we going to do with you re: your charting? I must be some kind of weirdo 'cause I actually look forward to waking at 6.45am to take my temp (to see what it is - even on weekends!?!?)
Missykg - sounds like a pretty full on festive season.I can only imagine how tough Christmas must have been with all you've been through this year. At least you have 3 beutiful children & DH to share it with. Hope all is well with you & you are back on track to being where you want to be...
Hi to everyone else - hope everyone is good!!

Hi girls,

I hope you all have exciting plans for tonight to welcome in the new year. And I REALLY hope that 2007 is the year for all of you!!

Missykg - sounds like things have been busy around your place!

Well, my news still hasn't sunk in. We are just pretending it hasn't happened which is kind of hard when I can't drink and need to be careful about what I eat, etc. I bought some more tests yesterday and went to do one this morning and it didn't work! No lines came up at all, not even the test line. The info sheet said just to try another one, but I don't need to go yet!

This is soooo hard. I feel like I am in limbo-land, I don't really believe the one BFP I have, and I don't even trust that it will stick. I have decided not to get a blood test to confirm it for at least a couple of weeks in case I lose it during that time, and I will have my first scan at around 7 weeks, and until then, just pretend that I am not pg at all.

Hi Ladies,

Just popping in quickly (whilst the hair dye is doing it's thing - hhmmm should i have trusted DH with that one!!!), anyway..i just wanted to wish you all a very ....


*** HAPPY NEW YEAR ***

and may 2007 make all of our wishes come true....

Love, Hugs and Laughter to each and every one of you.. You girls are my rock..xxxxxx

HAPPY NEW YEAR GIRLS!!!

LETS RAISE OUR GLASSES OR WINE OR JUICE TO A HAPPY AND FERTILE 2007!!!!!!!!!!! I hope you all have a fun night...

Well i have started temping YAY at having to wake at 8am every morning when on holidays! But dont want it to get all confused when i go back to work will only have to drop the change half an hr to 7:30 get up i had set my alarm for that time but the first two mornings i had the TMI ****s and didnt have 3 hrs between them to alarm going off so changed the time to temp.... But still spotting so have no hopes of oing or anything this chart but just getting into the swing again..

Happy New years to everyone!!
I hope 2007 is a very fertile year

Here I sit tonight alone. dh is asleep as both he and I are not well.. *yay* :/ I tested this morning and got a neg yet I am on CD 34 of a 33 day cycle.. So I expect she will show in a day or so..

How is everyone?

Morning Ladies, well I am out of the race again this month as af showed up yesterday! This cycle was unusually short for me (24 days) so I don't know how much use my charting will be if my cycles go back to 28 days. I am very disappointed & this is not the way I had planned to start the new year. Mt temps had looked pretty good too until today so guess I will keep this up & hope next cycle is the one.
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all & look forward to chatting in 2007!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear af arrived.. But im sure the rest of 2007 will be great....

I'm sorry the old witch showed!! It can only go up from here! I am just glad that 2006 is done with!

It has been pretty slow in here. I will find out tomarrow with temping if I O on Friday. I have had higher temps since then and all I need is 1 more to confirm it. I finally got a negative hpt so I now know that all the hcg is out of my system. Now it's just the waiting game.

Now I need to go catch up with sleep from last night. I hope everyone is doing good and hopefully we will all get our BFP really soon and we are out of here!!

Oh Mummyto1, i'm so sorry AF arrived for you. It was a short cycle, wasn't it. We were on the same days, so i'm sad to be losing my cycle buddie...

Missy, fingers crossed you caught that eggie...xxx

Hi to everyone else...where are you all??? Hope you're all okay..xxxx

Hi girls,

Not sure if I have posted here before but hi to everyone. I hope you all had the best christmas possible and heres to 2007 I myself am glad to see the back of 2006!

Its been 6weeks and 6 days since our last angel baby went to heaven.....and after consults with my Dr's, test results and change in medication we are going to jump back in and try again. Not sure about how I feel but this seams to be our last ditch chance... there not much more we can do (medically) so while we are this frame of mind we are going for it.

Janeo: I was very sorry to hear about you baby, I hope you are feeling better and taking each day as it comes, after 13 miscarriages I can understand how you feel and where you must be at. Im glad to hear you are starting again... this time with a babe at the end, my prays are with you both.

Once again best wishes for a wonderful year and hope 2007 is a good one for all of us.

Hi Dream, welcome to our little thread. I am absolutely in awe of you. You must be the strongest woman to continue in your quest to have another bubba. I've only had the one m/c and i have no idea how i would cope if i were to ever have another, but for you to have had 13 and still keep trying...wow...you are truly an inspiration. All the very best for you hun..xxxx
