Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ July 08 #4

[jen805]

smilanatu--Work can wait... Chatter time at BB is SO much more important!

[mollycat]

Wow - girls - it's just taken me about half an hour to catch up on all that's been going on while this one has her beauty sleep (i obviously didn't get enough last night LOL). Seriously I feel much better today, Like krystie, I thought this month was it, and it hits really hard when it's not. TTC is so much harder with PCOS, I really need to exercise more and eat properly. I think i'll just take my time with the diploma course. I don't really need it for what I do, I just wanted to extend my knowledge, so I'll complete the modules I have here in my own time and NOT STRESS OVER IT.

WTH - I hope that everything turns out ok for you, your little one has one tough mumma so with genes like that he/she has every chance of making it. Praying for the best for you.

Krystie - love the bibs, they sound beautiful, now what little girl could resist having some new clothes, shouldn't be much longer and she'll be able to have them.

PBStar - Ignore everyone else and concentrate only on you. YOU are what matters here. I had this a few weeks ago when my SIL had a girl only days before my EDD, my mother so joyfully rang me and informed me "I was the first she had let know" WHY?, then my in-laws visited the other day and they couldn't help themselves they had to make a big deal out of it too (they're not even related to my SIL). Even when DH told them we weren't interestered they kept going. SO, for you and your DH.

Jenushka - 9 weeks already - sounds like everything is going well.

Easha for testing, Tina and Joey needs friends in the July club

Sandygirl and Krystie - imagine the mods when we all head off to the PAML thread, they'll be so busy making new threads for us, seeing as though we fill this one up so fast.

Is everyone ready to catch - i'm about to throw some sticky vibes and baby dust around and I don't want anyone to miss out. Ready, 1, 2, catch I'm about to go and tidy through my house, I have a lady and little boy coming later today to see about day care, so want to make sure the house looks like kids love coming here

[pbstar]

morning girls

thank you all for all the - with you girls and DH i am nearly all hugged out!

here's one more big one for all of us

WTH- am saying extra for you at the moment, let us know how you're going.

[Easha]

morning all,

no personals this morning as I have to fly....

How do I stop myself from going nuts today.... The temp remained above the coverline and this morning I feel weird... I have a fluttery stomach - cant describe it but is bordering on feeling sick...

AF STAY AWAY !!!!

I'll test tomorrow as I cant stand the suspense

Have a good day !

[jen805]

Yay, mollycat, I caught some of your dust! Glad to hear you're going to postpone your diploma course for now--even happier to hear you aren't going to stress over it! Good luck tidying up the house--mine could SURE use it--I take cleaning donations!


Good morning pbstar! Hope you have a great day!


Easha--Sending out mega loads of stay away AF vibes! Saying LOTS of for your BFP tomorrow!! Nice temp--yay, it's still above coverline!!

[mollycat]

Jen - sending the cleaning fairy your way. My playroom looks really good now. I've moved everything about four or five times, my first little boy has just arrived for the day (almost 3yo) and my 11yo is sitting on the floor playing with him and our new "fire station doll house". Too cute. By the time this lady comes with the little boy, the room will looked played in. I've got an easy day today, two little boys - the one already here and a 2yo due in about 15 minutes. I'll be finished before 5pm (usually it's 6.30 today). Glad you caught some dust - bet it was the pink one.

[joey123]

Easha - Still testing, see AFM below. Thanks for being patient!!

Hope your curse on AF works!!

Can?t wait to hear your result. Great to see that you have more will power than me. Well done.

That little fluttery feeling sounds positive!!!!!! Can?t wait to log on tomorrow and hear the news!!!
KL - How are you going with the pushing??

Cheezles? Yummmmmmmmmmmmm!

Thanks for making the list. I think you should change me from 12DPO to 50000DPO. That's what it feels like!!

DH signed up for BB? That?s so cool.
plc - would love to come to PAML thread. Please please let the line get darker so I can come over!!!!
Angel Babies - I too forget all the chatter that goes on, so instead of clicking 'reply to thread' with my left mouse button, I use the RIGHT one and then go 'open in new window'. Then you can flick between the two and don't forget anything. Perhaps that's why my replies are always soooo long!!

So glad you are feeling confident. If I am not UTD, I might resort to accupuncture next month. Where can I get one of those floating pins from??

Thanks for your congratulations. I hope that I will be able to confidently accept it soon.

I?ve tried getting in at other dr?s but they are either too far away, or they are booked up, or they don?t bulk bill. See AFM for more info.

Hope you have a lovely relaxing 2 days off. DH in bed till 1pm? Ahhh wouldn?t that be nice!!

Sandygirl - Hi. Nice to see you. I hope you have seen the last of AF. I think the brown is just left overs. I?m sure it?s fine. When you figure out how to switch your brain off, please let me know.

Smilanatu - You recon your pulling your hair out? Hey, may be we could sell it, and they could make hair extentions out of it??

Glad to see AF has finally buggered off!!

Thanks for your chanting. I hope it works!!

Jen - Obviously you know me too well. Hold out till Wednesday?? I don't think so!!

DS & DD friends are a god send. I love having kids come to play / DD going to play. Keeps her occupied!

Your g-ma's place sounds awesome! Can I come and visit?? Well, perhaps if I ever get to visit the US?

What is Knott's Berry Farm? I have heard of it, but that's as far as my knowledge goes.

Hope you have a better night's sleep tonight.

I'm itching for you to add my name to that UTD list too! You sure are great with all the names.

Thanks for the babydust.

What?s going on with FF? It knows nothing!! If you BDed once while you were fertile, you can still conceive. So let?s just say that you will. And I don?t think it takes your O pains into account, does it? My fingers are crossed for you Jen, regardless.

OK ? So you?re back to a high chance. See, I knew it!! What does FF know?

I bet the fact that you?re wishing AF to turn up so you can get on with your next cycle will mean, she won?t bother showing!!!

Thanks so much for going grey over me. It?s amazing how much we care for each other, and none of us have even met. I am feeling very grateful for knowing you all.

Toccara - Yay for AF has left the building!!!!! And don't you come back no more!

My lines? See AFM below

Ruthie - Glad you found your way back. Save this to your favourites ... https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums...carriage-loss/

Do you have FF? Can you send me your link? How many DPO are you? I am the same - I feel preggo, but the line is coming and going and soooo feint.

Are you able to go for a blood test, or any other tests??

Your photos are beautiful!

I really hope you get to 6 weeks. Will be thinking of you on Monday. Lots of baby dust your way.

I thought I was starting to get a collection. DH will have nothing to complain about when I tell him you have 20!!

If you click on my name up the top of my post, it takes you to my page and my story is there.

I really hope you are UTD soon - maybe now even?? Can you get a blood test? Take care. I?m thinking of you. Just ignore all those ignoramuses that don?t understand. I understand, I?m stressing with you. We all understand how desperately you want this little bubba. I hope he/she comes soon. Lots of babydust for you.


Mollycat - That's *****ty about uni. Sorry to hear you're having a hard time. It?s sooo hard to go walking when it?s cold. Can you go in the afternoon?? I do that sometimes cause the mornings are such a hastle.

I think you?ve made a good decision about completing your uni in your own time. If you don?t need it now, that?s great.

GL with your additional day care kiddie. I?m sure your house looks beautiful!

Tina - I so want to come and join you!!! Thanks for the warm wishes. I wish my DH could write my a BT. I would have had 5 by now!! Thanks for your warm wishes.

AJC - Thanks. Normally I dont mind rollercoasters, but I have well and truely had anough of this one.

Issy - Sorry to hear that your feint lines resulted in m/c. I really hope that I am like one of your sisters patients. Thanks for your thoughts.

KL - I am using first resposne tests??? Hmmm. I used them cause they worked well and got darker each couple of days with my last preg. Not this time though??

As for the implaning late on day 11, the negative HPT's that I have added there are really +ve's but beacuse they are so feint I didn't really want to put +. I think I will change it to +, so I can monitor it a bit better.

So glad you gave AF what for. You tell her girl!

Thinking of you hun, during your 20wk day today. Hope you?re going ok. Take care. By the sounds of the bibs, I?m sure your bub will be there in no time to wear them. May be tell her/him a few times in case he/she wasn?t listening the first time.

Teen - Thanks. I think that?s a good idea.

WTH - So sorry to hear what your dr has said. I feel so sad for you. BIG HUGS. But hey 98% mc = 2%. And hey, someone has to be that 2%. Feel free to take your time, and pop in, or not, when ever you like. We are all here for you and share your pain. Until next time, take care hun. And hugs to your DH too.

Vanaithi - can you add your BDing to your FF charts?? Then we can stalk you a little easier. Hope you get a BFP in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for your congrats. I hope I can confidently accept them soon.

PBstar - If your SIL is going to be a b!tch, that?s her problem. Shame on her for being so selfish and not thinking about your feelings. Big hugs for you. Thinking of you.

Megs Mum - GL getting through the 2WW. It?s a killer! You?ll get there soon. Waiting ... waiting ... waiting ...

Jenushka ? Hope work settles down soon for you.

Chappas ? F&F really don?t understand, do they? We do though. You worry just as much as you want to.

Arcia ? Thanks so much. I hope it sticks!!

Sounds like you BDed at the right time.

Tutmae ? Sounds to me like you are having O pains. YAY!! Ramble away!! And hey, thanks for banning AF from us all. Go girl.

OK, so that covers all the personals. I had to finish them off at school this morning at school, cause DH was about to divorce me cause he thinks I love you more than him. It?s just that I really need the chatter and he gets so sick of hearing about the ?may be I am, may be I?m not, why am I feeling this, why am I feeling that, why is the line not getting darker, where has the line gone, why is the line lighter today, should I test now, can I get a BT ??. So unfortunately, I have stopped talking about all the little things and little feelings. It?s sad, but I don?t want him to be sick of the baby before it even gets a heart beat!

So here?s what?s happening with me ?.
I tested yesterday afternoon and the line was only JUST there. The thing that is getting me down, is that the line reflects the amount of hCG, so the longer the bub has been there, the more hCG there should be, so the darker the line should get, so why is the line light, then a little darker, then lighter again? Then also why is the more sensitive test not showing as dark as the less sensitive test? So I called the help line number for the ?first response? HPT and they say that you need 20 hCG and the other brand needs 10 hCG. So the ?first response? people said that it doesn?t matter how light the line is, if it?s there then I?m UTD. So, it?s official, I?m UTD!!! However, I?m freaking out cause the line?s not getting darker, so does that mean I?m not producing hCG? If that?s the case, my lil bubba is not going to stick. So I told DH this morning that I am UTD. He?s happy. I told him that I?ve made an appointment at the Dr for tomorrow and I?ll have some BT?s to monitor my hCG but I didn?t do a test this morning cause I?m sick of analysing those stupid little lines on those damn sticks and it?s stressing me out. Then he pointed out that I should prolly just let the pregnancy take it?s course and not worry about the BT?s either cause then I?ll be worried about those results. Damn logic ? he has a point! So I don?t know what to do. If I have BT?s, and the results are going bad ? I?ll just stress. Can the Dr?s do anything for me if it looks as though it?s not sticking??? I?ll ask my dr these questions tomorrow, but thought you girls might know the answers. I?m really looking forward to getting past NEXT Friday, cause that?s just after the length of time I MCed before. So if I get past there, I?ll feel a little better I suppose. So, do I get the BT?s or just mosey along???

Last night from about 5pm onwards, I had really sore BB?s, so that was wonderful. Seems as though my symptoms are more around in the evening and early early just before I get out of bed.

So UTD!! YAY!! Just hope the lil one sticks in there. I gave my tummy a good rub last night and had a few tears while I was chatting away to Aussie (our nick name for our lil one). I told him that he needs to hang on tight and that his mumma really loves him and wants him to stick around. I?ll continue to do so, and hope it works. Have stopped stressing out about school too. I used to spend up to 10 hours a day between teaching and planning, but just doing the basics now, and the rest will fall into place. I am using my energy instead to grow my little bub. Hope it works!!! Haven?t told anyone about my tests yet, just DH and BF. Don?t want to jinx myself by telling the family.

OK ? back to work I suppose.

Thanks soooo much to you all for being so supportive. It?s just been fantastic.

Can?t chart stalk at school cause you are all in my ?favourites? at home. Will have to do it this arvo. Hopefully I?ll get it all done before DH comes home so he doesn?t feel neglected and unloved.

[AJC]

Ooooh Joey - sounds good. Good luck - I personally would go for the BT's then that will put your mind at ease. I agree about talking to little one & rubbing your tum - I've talked to my bub since the beginning and I 'feel' that it helped. I also strongly agree in taking it easy and putting yourself first. Wrap yourself up in cotton wool & don't be afraid to be a bit lazy.

Lots of chatting going on in here - glad to see lots of babydust flying around. Smother yourselves in it!!!

WTH - posted for you in paml but just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you.

betty - thinking of you & hope you are doing ok.

[tutmae]

Joey- YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!
That is WONDERFUL news!! I say you should get a blood test just to put your own mind at rest. You'll be far more nervous if you let your mind run away with itself. Do it! Then let all of us girls know!!

AFM- Woke up today at 5am and was really hot, thought it was 8am and started to take my temp, then realised the thermometer wasn't even on, THEN realised it was 5am, then couldn't get back to sleep. When I did eventually get back to sleep and take my temp at 8:30 it was really low. So, I dunno. Maybe it was due to the interrupted sleep, or maybe it was the o temp drop. Or maybe I need to throw my thermometer out the window.
