Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ January 2007

Hi ya sexy girls,

Hope everyone is brilliant... Just a quickie from me absolutley buggered

Mako - :lol: You crack me up, please don't apologise it was ok I am always confused! Thank you for your lovely words xx

MissBelinda- Have a brilliant holiday sounds like heaps of fun

mummyto1 - Dh and I found it hard b'ding and we didn't b'd as much as I wanted to during that cycle but hey it worked out :D

Misskg - Fingers are crossed for you babe

Had some sad news today a wonderful women that I worked with in Syd, her husband took his own life on the weekend :crying: .. I didn't know him but if he was anything like his wife then he must have been a lovely man.... sorry to dampen anyones moods I guess I am still a little shocked by it xxx

Kez - that's horrible news. I hope your friend is coping and has her family/friends to support her through this time. :(

missykg - your chart looks good! When are you due to test?

mummyto1 - why are you on here chatting when you could be BDing? lol

I haven't been around today as I went over to my aunts to show her how to use a computer. I thought I would only be there for a few hours, but it turned into about 8hrs - and I think she is a long way from getting onto bellybelly! lol

Cilmum - hiya! I have a wonderful feeling about your pregnancy, so I agree that you should be positive and get excited :) We are staying at Mt Lofty House, I heard it is beautiful, so I can't wait. I haven't been to SA in nearly 10yrs, so I'm sure things have changed.

Janeo - how are you today? Hopefully you are in bed by now! Where abouts along the Great Ocean Road do you recommend staying overnight? I haven't booked anything yet, I was thinking of just booking in when we get there, as it will be out of school holidays time. But then I like to be super organised and want to book somewhere there. I'm such a conflicted confused person lol.

I had a sneak peek at your chart, hope you don't mind. The overlapped cycles look very similar in spots. But I guess with your strange sleeping patterns that could throw things out? Are you going to test in a few days?

I take my hat off to you girls that can remember to temp each day, I'm hopeless at it. I forget to take my metformin each day - thank god I only ever had to take clomid for 5 days!

Mako - how are you going? I bet you are wishing the weeks away, to you can get on with your plan. I'm wishing the weeks away, so I can go on holidays!

Tinsel - I hope you are having a good day :) Sometimes it must be horrible to be the ultrasound person - they have sad moments and exciting moments, such a rollercoaster for them as well in having to deal with both sides of the coin.

How is everyone else? Still on holidays???

Well, today I spoke about my angel baby without crying or getting upset. My three cousins that I were visiting asked me why I don't work anymore, is it because I was going to have a baby and it died? Is it still in my tummy, well then where did it go? What were you going to call it. Their parents were horrified, but I felt comfortable talking about my angel, I wanted to talk about it, because no-one has broached the subject with me, and I didn't want it to be a taboo subject. So I feel a bit better today, although I'm getting teary now telling you all about it. I'm to weird, I don't even understand myself lately :confused:

You Girls, I can hardly bd on my own so not much to get up to when DH is at work! Had our last baby making attempts for this month last night so think we are both due a rest. FF has me ovulating at day 13 (now cd 16) which I agree with so last night was a "just in case" (why are all the best bd's when it doesn't count!?!?). Sorry girls I seem to have been over ananlysing things this month so hopefully that will pass...
Missbelinda77 - well done to you on being strong & talking openly about your Angel. Sometimes I still mention our angel thinking I will be ok but then find myself tearing up.
I don't find the temping too bad - I find it pretty exciting to see what my body is doing so that keeps me motivated, I was the same when I took Clomid....
Chepie - hope your good & thanks for sharing your experiences with me - hopefully things will turn out well for me too!
Cilmum - good on your for holding out on the bloods etc it really isn't going to make any difference in the end - hope you are feeling good (or bad depending how you look at it) & pls try & enjoy being preggers!!
Mako - thanks for explaining IUI - I swear us girls could almost open a consultancy re: all matters fertility - you just learn soooo much in here!!
Missy - all thre best for Thursday!!
Hope everyone else is good & chat soon!!

Hi girls... Well another temp drop and i had a better night sleep last night woke at 4 with bad pains and cramps...:frown: TMI and the ****s (can be a sign that af is coming for me).. So im thinking Feb is the month..lol

Belinda so good that you are feeling better about talking about your angel im lucky in that i talk about it well, what am i saying a talk easily about everything... The first time i had the girls i am babysitting after the m/c they knew we were having a baby and there mum had told them about the m/c and went through all the questions with them but the oldest 7 wanted to know some of it from me.. SO i got the questions of where is it gone?? Do you think it died cos your so young?? Not married?? or because you ate something you wernt meant to?? Gotta love how kids think....

On the holiday!! Are you in Melb then coming down the coast?? If so i would stop at Lorne really nice place yummy places to eat at if thats where you decide on let me know and ill give you some yummy restuarants to eat at.... BUt Apollo bay is good too... Then if you want head off further down the road and stay at Port Campbell and do all the 12 apostles and all that... Dont go straight to Port campbell though as its a BIG drive stop off somewhere... Port Fairy and Warrnambool are great places too..... I hope that has helped a bit... Have you got msn?? I can chat to you through that if its easier.... :lol:

Im still on holidays cos we get the school holidays off but not really on holidays when you are babysitting most days.......

Bloody computer and internet i got to that point b4 and the girl i am babysitting knocked the usb and internet went out and now i have to prop something under it to work ARGH!!!!!! Will have to ring telstra to get a new one....

I official feel like **** again..... I have just spent lunch with my heavly pg friend that was all fine but then i had to go and pay all my medical bills from the m/c SUCKS BIGTIME... $171 bucks and thats not all of it i had paid one bill already and i have one to come waiting for cheque from medicare.... I wouldnt mind paying for it if it was to save my baby or for my baby but it isnt.... ARGH.... sorry...

well im off to have a colour reading in half an hr looking forward to it but at the same time nervous and curious especially with mood im in now... OH and its HOT!

Hey everyone. So many messages,

I am a little confused with my cycle right now, I started bleeding again on CD 14 :/ I don't need to use anything though. I do if I go out just in case but its there but not. So would it be classed as AF or is it spotting even though it is heavier then spotting. Does that make sense? i took a test on the 31st and it was neg (af was 2 days late) My cervic is high and closed. The hole is closed more then normal. I don't feel pregnant so I don't think thats the case. Also lots of hairloss...
I am going for a check up next week,,

I am very hesitant to post this but I tested today and........................................

















































Very faint BFP!! I am waiting to get excited until I test with something more reliable. I tested yesterday but it was so faint that it looked like an evap but decided to test again today after some strange symptoms. It showed up in like 2 minutes and kept getting more defined. I will keep testing to make sure. I am only 11DPO so I'm going to be very hesitant for now. Pray for this little one to stick!!!

ooo how exciting.. Congrats.. heres to a sticky baby

Oh, how exciting!!! Congratulations, missykg!!!! :happyforyou:

CONGRATULATIONS Missy. I'm sending you lots and lots of :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl:

Aussienic How are you doing today??? Has the bleeding stopped yet? Maybe its an implantation bleed???

Kbowman How are you hun?? Haven't seen you around for a while, hope you are doing better now.

Hi to everyone, hope you are all ok.

Hi Ladies,

I took a test today and I got a positive test! I am excited but really nervous. Praying that this one is a sticky one. :bfp:

Missy- Congratuations, I am so excited for you and my prayers are with you. 2007 is our year!

I will check back tomorrow and see how everyone else is doing.


Tory

Hi Mako. Yes the bleeding is completly gone again :/

It wasn't heavy enough to use anything but it was heavier then spotting. I wish I knew what was going on. Last night I was so exhausted at 7pm but Jacob was still awake so I had to wait for him to go to bed and by the timehe did half an hour later I was wide awake and then I couldn't sleep. I am so tired today. I did have sore bb's just around xmas and thats why we did the pg test on the 31st plus I was 2 days late with AF. So who knows maybe it was to early to test then. I am going to make an appointment. I guess I am nervous to go to the Drs but I know I need to

Woo hoo Tory.. congrats

OMG! Missy & Tory! Congratulations ladies! That's fantastic news!!! Big sticky vibes coming your way. Yaaaay!

Aussienic, I hope your Dr can help you figure out what's happening. Hang in there sweets.

I can't remember who else posted on the last page now... sorry! Hope everyone is okay. Big hugs. xx

PS Missy, I knew it was your month!!

missykg & tory - Congratulations on your BFP's!! Don't things happen in 3's? Who else is testing today??

missykg - when are you going to the dr's to get it confirmed? what weird symptoms have you been having?

Nic - when are you planning to go to the Dr? gee, our bodies do some weird things sometimes. What do you think the hairloss is from?

Jane - how are you feeling today? I got a bill last week for my initial blood test when I went to a medical centre to see if I was pregnant - it took them nearly 4mths to send me a bill for $23? Stupid ppl. How did the colour reading go? Thanks for the tips on where to eat and stay. We still have over 2wks til we leave - which seems like forever at the moment.

mummyto1 - I don't think there is any such thing as a good BD or a bad BD, just as long as you did it at the right time hehe. I remember one month (when we first started TTC) we decided we were going to BD every single day, so I definitely wouldn't miss O - but after 4 days I was exhausted and over it LOL. Now if my DH every whinges about how long it has been, I just log into FF and prove to him that he is exaggerating - so I do love that side of charting.

Kerry - how are you? enjoying the last of your holidays before you go back to work?

How is everyone else going?

Belinda: I am going to make an appointment for either monday or tuesday, and the hairloss I just don't know. Although DH and I were talking about it again yesterday and we noticed it isn't as bad. It was 2 days ago but yesterday it seemed better. I was worried I was going to wake up bald one morning lol. I always lose my hair after pregnancy and the only thing we can think of is that I may have had an early m/c a couple months ago. There was no confirmation or anything, I had a couple very faint pos tests then I got Af a few days late so who knows. I never lost any hair after my previous losses though so we really are grasping at straws there I think

Missykg and tory -:happyforyou: That is just fantastic.....

Come on who's next :biggrin:

Missykg - I can understand your hesitation but lets hope it's sticky - all the best!
Tory - congrats to you too!
Missbelinda - you know what I mean...a good bd is one you really enjoy ;p & a not so good one is when you don't feel like it but know you should!!
Aussienic - hope you get some answers to your body's behaviours. Have you done the obvious & done a HPT?
Cilmum - hope it is smooth sailing for you....
Hope - what is going on?? I too got a bill from the pathologist today from my d&c in August -I tell you what I'm over it!! I hope you are feeling a bit better today...
Me, 4dpo...sigh....no symptoms for me but then there never is so won't let that get me down. I am ever hopeful that this is the month for me & all the other lovelies in this thread. Bye xxx

Hello again and a big happy congratulations to Tory! Well done, you! :confetti:
Thanks, Mako and Belinda, yes, back again and sorting out what happens next for the big move. I've got the thumbs up on some teacher housing where I'm going, I've given notice on this place and paid the rent out and I've been getting back to the removalists that I contacted prior to Christmas. Two have been around today to give quotes. Which has prompted me to clean up the garage! What a mess! Brisbane was good and it was great to see my Dad and stepmother. Tomorrow morning I'm off to see an endodontist to save a tooth :eek: And I think I'm about to ovulate, some ewcm and o-pain. But still showing negative on the OPKs, yesterday's was a stronger line than today's tests, so maybe tomorrow or Friday. :crossfingers: Catching up with DP on Friday so here's hoping!
Lots of love and hugs to everyone X O X

mummyto1: I did a test on the 31st and got a neg. Maybe I should get another test before I go to the Dr

No time again for personals but someone asked what my wierd symptoms were. I was very dizzy, I had hot flashes(and it's only 5 degrees F outside,brrrr!), and I had some hot pain on my inner thigh and lower leg. I have also had terrible heartburn after eating gentle things like cereal. I tested again this morning and I'm going to call it a BFP! I don't know when I'm going to go in. I am hesitating to get my hcg measured. I don't want to obsess but I would like to check my progestrone since there is something you can at least do about it. I guess I figure it is in God's hands and I'll leave it up to Him.

Now I want to see some more BFPs around here!! Who's it going to be??

cautious congrats then :) all crossables crossed

Aussienic - I would do a hpt before the Dr's if I was you. It is a good couple of weeks since your last one. You must have nerves of steel not to have done another one earlier!! Do what makes you happy though.....
Missy, congrats again!
KBowman - I really hope it happens for you & the timing is right for your rendevouz (sp?) with DP this weekend. Good luck saving the tooth as well - does that mean root canal?
I'm taking DS to Raggs (a kids show - it's a dog character) today so should be fun. He'll either love it or be petrified so should be interesting....CD 18 for me so not much to report....
Hi everyone else - hope you're all good!

I am going to buy a test tonight. and do one in the morning., also making my Drs appointment today for either tomorrow or tuesday, I think tues suits me better though.

Ia m so seriously tired and I got 8 hours sleep. I do wonder if this constant tiredness is more then just a few late nights and early morning bvut I don't want to jinx myself kwim??

Have fun at the show. My DS 3 was so disappointed it is no longer on tv . He asks everyday if Raggs is on

Hello gals,

A big congrats to Missy and Tory - whoooo hooooo - wishing you both a H&H pg!

Sending truckloads of baby dust to you all and hoping you all get a bfp soon :)

Lisa

Hi

Tory CONGRATULATIONS to you on your bfp. Well done sweet.
Missy I pray that this little one is the stickiest bub ever for you.
Aussienic Please make sure you come in here tomorrow as soon as you've tested. I have everything crossed for you.
Kbowman I wish you all the very best for Friday with your dp. Sending you lots of baby making vibes. And good luck with the move too.
As for me, not too much to report. I'm on cd 15 and am trying to make the most of this week iykwim. I'm not sure when I'm due to O so I'll just have to keep dh busy lol. I'm due to go for progesterone b/t next Thursday. I'm seriously thinking of starting the process for IUI next month if af decides to show her ugly face again. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how this cycle turns out.
Hi to all you beatiful ladies that I've missed today. I hope you are all well.

I surely will come in.. hopefully pay will go in this afternoon so I can buy a test. cross all for that first lol...

HI girls busy times in here... Ive been really sick and went to the Aust open last night GREAT game but was soooo sick i have a really bad throat infection it started Tuesday night then yesterday i woke up soooo unwell.. Had hot and cold flushes all night at tennis and aches and pains. Got some drugs today from dr just want them to kick in..

YAY Missy and Tory fantastic news!!!!! :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl: ........

Cant remember who had the hair loss but earlier last yr i had heaps of hair loss my hair got thinner and thinner i had a appointment to see a specialist then it stopped.. I put it down to the stress i was under with a bad back that got fixed and hair stopped falling out but when i fell pg it started falling out again and still is a bit.. Maybe the stress of ttc or you are pg....

My reading was amazing brought alot if things to the surface but was very helpful with alot of things.. I learnt alot about myself and also helped to explain some things that have happened in my life.... I learnt about my past life out there i know... But all the colours i chose really reflected what im going through at the moment... And things are looking promising for my life in the near future...

:wavey: Jane
I had the hairloss. Thats the thing though I don't feel stressed or anything I feel really well and I am not worried about falling pregnant or anything like that. I will buy a test when DH gets home from work and if I can hold out I will test in the morning

How cool to go see the Aust open live. I personally am not interested in Tennis but I think seeing things like that IRL would be kinda cool. its more about the atmosphere

Well I tested and it was neg so I can rule out pregnancy. I am making my appointment tomorrow for Tuesday. I wanted to wait and see what the test said. I am a little disappointed but more because now I have ruled out pregnancy I am worried that there is something wrong with me

Oh Aussienic I'm sorry you got a bfn tonight:frown: I'm sure there's an explanation as to what's going on and I'm sure your dr will find the answer.

I have a Drs appointment at 3:30 and I am so nervous LOL I hate going to the Drs even when I am sick and I guess I just feel silly going.. Anyways I will come back tonight and let you know what she says

Yeah it was good i go on and off watching tennis have to be in the mood at home... Im watching it now but am on here at same time....

On hair loss i didnt feel stressed either really just had a sore back but when back fixed and hair stopped falling out i assumed that must have been the problem see how you go at drs but on the hair thing they have no idea.....

Well u think af has arrived at my house got some spotting when i got up at lunchtime :D didnt sleep well with sore throat.... And feeling a bit crampy and like its getting heavier but all good cos now i can seriously start ttc get back on the band wagan... HERE I COME FAB FEB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello girls - how are we all travelling?
Missy - hope the BFP is sinking in for you!
Janeo - you lucky duck gettig to go to the Tennis - shame you weren't well! Hope your on the mend now & that af starts a new slate for you...
How are all you other ladies - can't remember where everyone is at so feel free to remind me!
Me, I'm 6dpo now so waiting waiting waiting.....2WW is not too bad this month although I'm sure I will test at first opportunity!!
Bye for now!

The Drs went well.. I am to have an US next week and some blood tests. also a pap smear. She was great and listened to me and seemed quite keen to get to the bottom if it.
Anyways I feel less scared now after going :) I see her again in the last week of January

Hi
Aussienic I pleased that your dr is running some tests for you. You must be somewhat relieved now. I hope all turns out well for you and you get some answers.
Janeo How are you sweet. I hope the throat infection is getting better. I'm glad you had agood time at the tennis. I don't mind watching it on telly but I don't think I could watch it live like that though.
Missykg and Tori, How are you doin girls, I hope you and your little ones are well.
Shan I hope you're having a good time away.
Miss Belinda How are you doin sweet. Not long now till you go away. How exciting for you.
Mummyto1 Good luck to you this month. I hope the tww goes fast for you and you get a bfp.
As for me nothing much to report which is kind of boring I know but that can also be a good thing. I'm on cd17 so should be o'ing soon I think( not too sure on that one as I don't test or temp) So dh and I are just trying to bd as much as we can lol. I'm due to have a b/t next Thursday to check progesterone levels again and wait and see what happens.
I hope you all have a great weekend:D

Thanks Mako. i do feel relieved.

how is everyone today. Any plans for the weekend

Glad the dr was a help Nic all the best for the upcoming appointment..

Well af has decided to stop... I only got 4 spots of brown/red blood yesterday morning then when i wiped it was brown until mid arvo then went to light brown today nothing... So im not taking it as af not really sure what it was.. Will do a test Tuesday if nothing has happened to see.. Then i might contact dr and see if i should just say that was a af... Not sure....

Hi girls, I know I am a very irregular poster on these boards but had to share
I just Pee'd on a stick and BFP!!!!!!!!
I am really confident this time round as I tested 2 days ago and got nothing then today and it is as clear and dark as possible!!! Last time my hormones only gradually increased (lines were very faint for so long, up to 6 weeks) but I am 4 weeks today and Boom :)

Just had to share as this site was the most amazing help when I miscarried back in November. So thankyou all,

a Big sticky vibe to all you lovely women TTC.

Linda
