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

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 :ROFL: 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 :ROFL: 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!!!! :hug: 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..... :hug:

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 :bd: . 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.:clap:

Goodness me... Ohhh that pin... told you I m floating..... How on earth could I have forgotten.....

TINA K.... CONGRATULATIONS

JOEY..... CONGRATULATIONS... (I m going to give the congrats regardless of how faint that line is because AF hasnt turned up)

CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU

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.:wall:
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. :)

Morning ladies!

Krystie...:hug: I sure hope AF gets out quickly for you! We can't have a depressed Krystie...nope nope nope!!!

tina_k...YYYEEESSS!!! Congratulations!!!

mollycat...Aww...sorry hon...prepare for the new cycle...have a long talk with AF so she knows without a doubt she is not welcome in your womb!

Joey...GOSH!!! I am about to pull my hair out stressing over your BFP!!

Issy...BIG HUGS!!! Don't be a stranger!

jen...Angel Babies...*wavin*

Alrighty ladies...let's get started on the birthday gifts for myself and mollycat...APRIL BABIES HERE WE COME!!!

:goodluck2:

:pink-babydust::bluedust:
:stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:

AFM...looks like AF has left the womb...:dance:

Krystie--While it's good to wallow, we sure are glad to have you back! It appears your sense of humor is still intact, so that's a positive sign! OMG, I thought I was the only one that ate muffin mix! (Cake batter, brownie mix, and cookie dough--it's ALL good! :lol:

Sorry to hear AF is being so hard on you this time--maybe she's letting you suffer because she knows it will be her last visit for a long time! :crossfingers:


joey--Good luck with your POAS on Wed.--will you really be able to hold out and wait till then? I'm itching with anticipation! And your symptoms sound really positive!

You went on a tandem skydive? You must be as nutty as DF! I just don't have it in me to jump from a perfectly good airplane, call me a wimp, that's fine! I can live without the fear--I don't need the rush!

Not sure what I'll do while the 3 older kids are away--actually I know first thing will be to clean out their rooms! I'm really not looking forward to that--and I have so much laundry to catch up on, it's not even funny. Hopefully some of my younger DS's friends will help me in keeping him busy so I can get some work done. We do want to take Noah for a little trip--just for him--think we'll be going back down to LA to visit my step mom, then maybe back to G-ma's for one last visit. G-ma is amazing, she's 88 and still lives on her own. Her home is in the hills near Hollywood, and is worth over 2 million! Her home is a mansion--and they even have some old slot machines left over from
G-pa's gangster days! We even found a secret passage the other day when we were there! Anyhow, we may take Noah to Knott's Berry Farm, too, since we've never been.

Oh, and I plan on buying some Benadryl today to keep in the truck in case of future bee incidences--DF is allergic and has to have shots if he gets stung, so probably better to have some around just in case!


Easha--Sending lots of anti-AF vibes your way! :pray: she stays away and you're surprised with a BFP!!


plc--Please continue to be a full-time lurker! It's great when you check in on us and keep us updated with how you are! How's it going with the thyroid meds? Hope you're feeling a little more at ease, I know it's scary finding out something new when you have no idea what it all means! Big :hug: and take care!


Angel B--I have a mental image of Pinhead--isn't that his name? Some horror movie that has the guy with all the pins sticking out of his head? :rofl: Whatever it takes, right? I'm :pray: it helps bring you a BFP!


Sandygirl--Welcome back and good luck for this cycle!


smilanatu--Yay that AF is gone! :woot: Time to start working on that b-day present!


AFM... My temp shot through the roof this morning, but slept really sh*tty last night, so maybe that's the culprit. I had a stupid song stuck in my head ALL night long--not even really a song, just the opening for a show called iCarli that the kids watch. I even woke up with it still stuck in my head! :wall: I think this is going to be a loooong TWW!

Jen.... Ok.. we are not on a TWW.... we are just being.... and I m going to go with the most positive of thinking and say... I m 3 weeks....and I will just check on the exact dates next week..... Now It could be the Pin head talkin but hey... I m going to run with it. Accupunturist is convinced this is the month.... did all sorts of bits and pieces to me today that my tummy has not stopped twinging... Soooo I m just going to say.... Yep, 3 weeks..... I may regret taking this approach next week but until then, I m going to run with it..... As for the Pinhead your talking about.... have absolutely no idea... dont watch any horror movies... goodness me... no adult movies, no horror movies....Limits me in Blockbuster.

You know you're addicted to BB when:

1. You sign a 2-year contract and pay $60 more per month just to have wireless internet service for a 5 day camping trip!

2. Your significant other walks in on you checking the position of your cervix, and actually gets turned on from it!

3. You resort to becoming an adult film industry advocate in order to "keep things alive" during those fertile times!

4. You read, post, and then refresh to read again in case you missed a post while posting!

5. You dream of being the first to post in the new thread! :sleep:

6. You feel like you are wasting urine when you don't pee on a stick!

7. You see abbreviations in everyday life and try to work out what they mean in the TTC world (eg. DVD must stand for something like "Doing the vjay vjay dance"...)

8. When you get excited about choosing a new ticker....oh the choices!!!!!

9. You actually think in emoticons and abbreviations...and occasionally call your husband DH....and he says, "what the hell did you call me????".

10. And the biggest one of all....DH actually asks if it was a light or dark "BFP" (not positive test) and whether or not you used "FMU" to test!!!! (all in abbreviations...)

11. When getting a coverline makes you so happy, you feel as though you won the lottery!

12. When you look forward to going to bed just so you can wake up in the morning and add a new temp!

13. You say you are taking a break from bb and then spend 24 hours trying to do anything but log on, including cleaning, washing, ironing, shopping, all the while saying to yourself don't do it don't do it don't do it before finally breaking down and getting your bb fix...

14. You drag yourself out of bed at 6 am every morning even though you're still tired, just to have "quiet alone time" on BB while the kids are still sleeping!

15. You get the butterflies while logging on to read posts!

16. You keep your computer on all day long so you know as soon as someone has made a post!

17. You know you are addicted to BB when you go to put the date on something and you end up writing 9 DPO!

18. You're whole day is ruined just because you can't log onto BB, and you feel like you're going to go insane without it!

19. You climb a slide and drive up the tallest hills at your camp spot trying to find a signal so your laptop will work!

20. You bring your laptop to the drive-in with you so you can check on posts in between shows!

21. You check your chart at least every half hour, because what if somehow it changed?

22. You wake up at 2:30 in the morning to use the toilet, and contemplate logging on to see if there's any good news that can't wait until morning!

23. You wake up at 3 a.m. and have to pee so bad, but you know you'll wake up at 6, so you hold it for three more hours so that you don't ruin your temp!

24. You toss and turn every morning waiting for it to be time to take your temp!

25. When DH comments that he's your family, not the girls on BB! (What does he know, anyway? lol...)

26. You sign on from your mobile phone to let off some steam!

27. You post 3 times in a row, and twice was just because you ran out of smilies!!!

28. When you're reading and typing posts in your dreams!

29. When sitting on the couch watching TV, you position yourself so that you can see the computer screen so you know as soon as a message pops up! Not only that, but you end up watching the computer screen more than the TV!

30. You run to check posts during an ad break of a show you're watching, then an hour later you realize you missed the end of your show!

31. When new smilies make you smilie!!

32. When you stop a movie during the sex scene because it reminds you to check BB!

33. When you burn your dinner because you're too busy checking your posts! D'oh!

34. When you begin stalking people's charts and keeping up with their BD stats!

35. When you've got more than one (3) fertility charts--just to make sure you really know what's going on with your cycle!

36. When you feel jealous that your kids are on your computer taking up your BB time!!

37. When class is about to start and you're quickly typing away at the back on the computer, hoping the kids don't see what you are typing!!

Ruthie

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! :pray: for your BFP in 1 week!!! :bluedust: :stickyvibesgirl:

Angel - I love you - you're just what I needed - when I needed it. :p 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. :doh: 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).
