    Jen - Congrats on your coverline!!! And well done on your high schore. I always wondered if there was anything better than good, as that is all I have ever received. Well done, and congratulations on winning the comp. Have you told DH that you won??

    How did DH go on his skydiving? My DH and I have been skydiving once. We went tandem of course! I bought it for him for his 30th birthday, 4 years ago, and of course, I went with him. It was awesome!! Such a rush!

    What are you planning to do while your kids are away? No need for BDing now!!

    That's scary about the bee sting. It may be handy to keep some antihistamines with you. You know, like for hayfever and stuff like that? Might help a little if it happens again. May also be an idea to go to the Dr and get tested and see what he recommends if it happens again.

    Birds and the bees!!

    Glad to hear DH's parachute opened.

    Mollycat - Sorry to hear the wicked witch has arrived. Glad to hear that you did nothing on the weekend. I think sometimes we get caught up in all the stuff we're supposed to be doing and forget to have some 'quiet time' for ourselves. Good for you.

    Pbstar - Thanks. I too hope that it's really really dark in 2 days time when I test again.

    Dam AF. What's going on with her? How can she possibly be in so many places at once??! It's good that you're on a 28 day cycle. Like the others say, "if she's going to turn up, better early than late".

    Glad that you're being strong. Although often I feel better after I have a big bawl.

    Issy - Thanks!! Hey, don't be a stranger!! I hope all goes well with uni, and you get your little bubba just as soon as you are ready. Are you just not TTC or are you being super careful so you don't conceive?

    Teen - Thanks!!

    Tutmae - Thanks for your stalking. I liked the look of it too. I was talking to the thermometer as it was in my mouth, "keep going, keep going"

    Good to hear that your chart was able to be split in two. Did you actually split it on FF? I'm pretty sure you can do that.

    Tina - I really hope that you lines continue to get darker, and mine too. The first one was sooooo faint, the next one, two days later only a little darker. Thought after 2 days it would have darkened up a bit more than that. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that I did it in the middle of the night??

    KL - So sorry you're feeling $hity hun. Get into that muffin mix!! Didn't someone say you can get rid of AF earlier by pushing it out? Worth a try!! May be a spring clean is just what your next eggy needs??? Take care hun.. Thinking of you

    AFM - Really sore BB's today YAY!! And I had heartburn SLIGHTLY just before I went to bed last night YAY!! Won't test in the morning, will wait till Wednesday morning to do another one, and hoping for a really FAT positive by then. I think that will be 14DPO then. First day back at school was $hit. Spent all day in a useless course, and ended up spending from 8am - 5.30pm at school with no real lunch break - just eating on the go. It sucked. But I was thinking that I had a little bubba in my tum all day long, so that made the hours go by a little quicker.

    Chart stalking time...

    Easha - Temps are looking good still!!

    Jen - You too. And congrats on your cover line!!

    Vanaithi - Why don't you have a coverline??

    Tina - YAY YAY

    Me - Keep up there temp!!

    Sweet dreams girls. Chat again tomorrow night.


    You girls are the best!

    firstly... stupid computer aaarrggghh, took 4 goes to bring up screen for reply, the smilies etc are playing up to so this wont be as animated.

    Jen - great coverline... hope the foot gets better, my brother had a small bee sting and ended up in hospital for 3 months... it is amazing how many people are allergic to bees

    Mollycat - sorry hun about AF - hope your doin ok

    Issy - best of luck for the next few months... I hope a BFP creeps up on you when you least expect it

    Tina - glad to hear your feeling awful (if you know what I mean) - hope you continue to feel ill each and every morning... only for the 1st trimester though

    Joey- please, please, please be UTD... cant wait to see the results in the coming days

    AFM - waiting, waiting waiting, praying the temp stays high.. only 2 days until AF usually arrives. I have put a curse on her though so she wont be back for 9 months !!!

    Joey - I'm sure your line will continue to get darker and darker! I'm trying to push AF out just like you suggested Oh, and instead of eating more muffin mixture, I ate a box of cheezels for dinner! How disgusting is that?!

    Easha
    - Now why didn't I think of a curse?! I don't mind if you sacrifice my AF to the AF gods if it will help with your curse Good luck with the temps! I'm anxiously waiting for you to test

    Jen
    - I was wildly allergic to mosquito bites when I was a young, so you can imagine my mum's panic the first time I was stung by a bee! Turns out I'm not even slightly allergic to bees though, hehe. I still hate mosquitos though! Hope you are feeling better. I have to admit that I wish I could have listened to you trying to speak with a swollen tongue, hehe. How mean am I?!

    Hi guys - still here of course. I'd like to fess up and just let you know that I am a full-time lurker (like AA for BB "hi my name is plc1805 and I am a full-time lurker", "hello plc1805"). I'm going thru everything with you all and just wishing you all the very very best. I'm on the organising commitee for the big party we're going to have in PAML thread to celebrate the arrival of each and every one of you when you come over - plenty of room for everyone!!!! Take care xxx

    GOODNESS ME.......Talk talk talk talk talk.... Its just taken forever to read up on everything..... and in true me fashion, I ve already forgotten most of it.

    So I m not going to embarress myself by forgetting someone.....

    What I will say is that AF has just showed herself far to many times. *enter swear words here*.....*enter more swear words*

    Ok... well now that she know s how I feel about her........

    pbstar..... I m sooooo sorry that your EDD will be before a BFP...... There is nothing I can say that will make it any easier... hopefully the support you have here will help a tad...... I will add one thing that you know I will add..... ONE DAY AT A TIME HUN.....

    Mollycat..... Sooooo sorry about AF.... very hard to find something positive to say when that wicked witch arrives and we dont want her..... ironically there are other times when we do welcome her....but for you and the other ladies in here that have had her turn up unwated.... once again *insert swear words here*

    AFM....Well last week was the week... lots of . Friday and then today was Accupunture...... Everything is pointing to a positive...(as far as the accupunturist is concerned)..... so we will just wait and see how it goes...... I must say, my favourite pin of all is the one she puts in my head.... Ohhhhh its a blessing.... all the pressures, stresses... everything just vanishes... and since then I ve been floating..... I know tomorrow I will wake up and feel all the normal stresses but for tonight..... I love that pin.

    Hi Girls,
    I just wanted to say that I'm still here, ocassionally lurking. I love reading all your posts & it makes mw smile knowing exactly what you are all going through. One minute I think i'm going to throw in the whole TTC thing. The next minute i'm getting my thermometer out again. It's such a rough ride.
    KL- My AF hit me hard this month as well. I think we lost our bubs at roughly the same time & it feels like we should be UTD by now. why do we have to wait a whole month to O each time. It's not fair.
    Anyway, I have no chance of doing any personals at the moment, but am thinking of you all.

    Toccara--So happy to hear AF has left the building!! :woot: Good luck this go 'round!



    Ruthie--I've been wondering about you!! I kept posting you wondering about your BFP!! Each thread lasts for about 10 pages, then the mods give us a new thread. On the last page of each thread (usually pg. 10) they'll give you another link to the next, current thread, then they close the old one. You can always check up at the top under "bellybelly Main Site", then click on "forums". We're the TTCML (trying to conceive after m/c or loss) thread, so if it ever happens again, you can always find the current threads there. Your symptoms sound very promising! for your BFP in 1 week!!!

    Angel - I love you - you're just what I needed - when I needed it. I really thought this would be "it". So disappointed this month, then got a letter in the mail - you know the type that kicks a girl when she is down. Purely my own fault, just the timing couldn't be worse. I'm doing a diploma course by correspondence, so far i have handed in one module, working on the 2nd (should have been sent in long ago) - so you have someone who works 50 hours + a week, has a family, is TTC, coping with ill (and old parents), yada, yada, yada, then this place tells me, I can't do the course anymore cause there funding is stopped cause I haven't handed in my modules up to date. I can do more but I have to pay extra money. AND I WONDER WHY I HAVEN'T CONCEIVED. Hmmmm. Maybe it's good timing and I should just let it go, it's one less thing to worry about.

    Hi Ruthie - glad to know your still around, is there anyway the doctors can give you a blood test, or doesn't it show up for you yet?

    Tocorra - Onwards and yes, lock the door so AF can't get back in. Countdown to your April baby.

    AFM - Smilanatu - I'm talking to AF now (sort of), letting her know she's not welcome anywhere near me or my wonderful bb friends - i've told her to go and annoy my annoying SIL (and all those other ungrateful people).

    Oh mollycat, you sound so down and stressed out! I'm so sorry! Can you maybe just take a break for a month or two to decide what you want to do? They say everything happens for a reason, maybe you just have too much on your plate right now, and a break could be the best thing for you. One more thing, can you put a word in to AF that she has my permission to hunt down and stalk DF's ex wife??? That would be lovely!!

    Hi Jen - yep that request was just told to AF - hope the ex lives a long long long way from both of us, so AF can't visit all of us Thanks Jen - maybe i'll have to share krystie's cake mix, no can't share, getting my own, yep, feeling a little down, but i'll get there, I think ttc gets us all at one stage or another. I'd better pick myself up for now so i don't look like a horror when the kids arrive. (I don't watch horror movies either, i'll sit with Angel on that one)

    Exclamation

    Sorry, no time to read posts or do personals now ... will do them tonight

    Just an update ...

    Tested again this morning. wasn't going to, but actually slept through the whole night (I don't think I got up to go to the loo??), so thought I might have a higher level of hCG. NOPE Grrrrrr. Still very feint. Darker than the original, but the same, or maybe even lighter than yesterdays.

    How frustrating. It's my B'day on Thursday, and if AF shows then I'll be soooooo angry

    Hi...

    Thank you Jen805!!.... I have all these symptoms.. ( I know them being mental is a high possibily) but how can I "mentally" make my nippies & areolas (sp?) darker ? How can I mentally make my cervix remain so high it's hard totouch?.. Ya know?.. just stuff like that.. I feel like a slug.. CM is abundant but not foul or anything bad.. just creamy abundant stuff..LOL (sorry if TMI)

    Mollycat: With my first son I did a blood test that came back negative (notto mention endless HPTs all negative) 3 days after the neg blood tests doc did an ultrasound to reveal ..this...

    http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/f...cture009-1.jpg

    I was 6w2d

    on my 1st m/c I got a BFP...went to doc to confirm and doc said he saw "hemorrhaging"... meaning blood hadn't yet come out but it was "happening" inside.. and finally my last preg.. ( a m/c also) I did get a BFP... went to doc next day to confirm..yup 6w4d and not even 2 days later bleeding again..that night I went to ER and the u/s revealed that once more my baby was gone..


    I did a due date calculator for women with longer cycles.. and it said I would be 5w4d today.. I want to see if I reach the 6w mark without AF coming.. if it goes like that then I am POAS like a maniac..LOL

    Baby/ Sticky dust donations accepted..

    How about you girlies.. what have I missed?.. oh BTW thanks for the input I will def "look" for a link when the posts are closed.. I didn't know that..sorry I'm such a noobie...


    LOL

    all around and I hope to hear from you girlies!!
