    Ruthie--I wish I could tell you I saw the line, but to be honest with you, I can't find my glasses--so there's no way that even if there were one there, that I would be able to see it! I'm sorry! But I believe you that it's easier to see in person, because you can always see things better in person than in a pic! I'm those lines become darker and you get your long-awaited BFP!! Sending loads of Good luck with POAS on Monday!



    Hey mollycat! Big for Kelly dog...sorry again, the loss of a pet can be as hard as the loss of a family member How's DS's taking it?

    LOL..Thank you Jen...

    Yeah as it dried up its still very faint. I just haven't seen anything at all till today.. so maybe just maybe ya know?.. this is the first time I see two brands give me something faint ya know?.. just got my hopes a little up but of course I cannot overlook that it is too faint. I will not POAS till next week though maybe Monday and after that... if I keep seeing "something" then I know I should see a doc get a BT done and get any doubts I might have out of the way ya know?.. I just don't want to make the trip in vain going to the doc in US is a hassle. Sucks big time. So I want to make sure I have a BFP on my hands before I go. Do you know what I mean?

    I sure will keep you posted.. I just hope this is a sign that a dark BFP is coming soon!!!


    hugs momma!! How are you doing?.. Oh and about the glasses?.. I have been wearing em since I was 9 and I cant see at all without em my hubby could be with a girl cheating his ass right in my face and if I have no glasses.. well.. I wouldn't know!! ..LOL

    Jen - DS2 is doing ok today, he spent yesterday a little teary, he made a cross and put it on her grave.

    Tina - prayers and for you and DH. It's not an easy day to get through, we spent ours as a family, without anyone else around.

    tina - I had crampy feelings with this pg. It worried me a little but it does seem to be very common. I had the same feeling again around 9 weeks which again worried me but so far so good. Am sure bub is just growing nice & strong.

    Hi to everyone else.

    Mollycat:
    I'm sorry about your doggy... I went through that a lot when I was a child.. I know you can never replace a best friend... I hope you can have a new addition so you can have a new friend.
    You are in my prayers.

    Tina....You are in my prayers too... I know the pain of losing a baby and I know how hard it is that our babies would have been growing and thriving if they were here.

    I keep comfort in knowing that they are well taken care of in heaven by god, family and friends.

    hugs

    AF still has not show up but another this morning with a different brand of test

    Some very very slight bloody mucus but still not even enough to find on when wiping, cramps continue as well

    My temp also dropped this morning to 36.2 which is still above the coverline but only just

    Really dont know what's happening although I have lost a little hope with the temp drop

    DH and I even this morning to see if he could get my innards working and still nothing yet

    tina--Thinking of you and saying a for you and your angel baby! Enjoy your quiet time, and I think you should buy something for yourself, as well as your new little one! You deserve it!



    mollycat--Aww, were you able to bury her somewhere on your property? Do you think you'll end up getting another dog?



    AJC!!



    Easha--So sorry to hear about your BFN... your temp is still above the coverline, though! And it may just still be too early...have you gone through the chart gallery and tried overlaying your chart with other charts? I did that last month and found a lot of comfort in seeing some late BFP's, and -HPT's before +HPT's. Some charts were also BFP after 15DPO...so don't give up! I'm so hard that you'll still be blessed with a BFP!!


    Angel--You're awfully quiet today--everything ok?


    tutmae--You've been too quiet, as well! What's up with you girl?? Hopefully you're too busy and catching that egg!

    Hi Ladies,

    Sorry this is going to be a bit of a short one....

    WTH - Im thinking of you hun, and hope you are ok, saying lots of for you

    Mollycat - sorry to hear about the passing of your fury friend for you and your family.

    Joey - I hope you are ok hun and sorry to hear that AF arrived.

    Easha - sorry about AF arriving...sending you loads and loads of GL for next cycle!

    AB - Sorry about the BFN...is it to early????

    Big and hello to all you lovely ladies!

    Tina - CONGRATUALTIONS HUN! Wishing you a very healthy and happy pg'cy. About the cramping....ITS TOTALLY NORMAL!!!!! Everything is going to be ok...im sure. I had af pains with ds too, but they were more concentrated in my uterus...real AF pains are in my back as well, aching lower back pain. Apparently early pg'cy pains are more to the front, according to my mid-wife mum! Thanks mum

    And by the way, just in case I have never mentioned this...my mum is a mid-wife and has been for 20 years! So im very lucky and often ask her your questions so I can help answer you!!!(I hope you dont mind)...and yes, she has delievered both my DS and my nephew...her two beautiful grandsons! Lucky lady huh? And I dont think I have ever mentioned this before either....my OB/GYN/FS (a lovely 58 yr old man) was the OB at MY BIRTH (as in me, 25 yrs ago) and the birth of my sisters, and has worked with my mum for 20 yrs! And my FS nurse...is my mum's best friend!
    I come from a VEEEERRRRYYYY long line of mid-wifes (sister is also a mid-wife) and nurses. I have been surrounded by women who talk about pregnancy, birth, women and babies my whole life. When I grew up, my house was filled with books about pregnancy and birth (there was even a pelvis model with a baby in it in my mums office, which I used to play with when I was a little girl) pictures of women breast feeding and even birth videos. I was watching home and water birth videos at 6!

    Anyway, just a little background on me....sorry for the ramble!

    Ok ladies, didnt end up being that short.... but have a great day, Ill bbl for more later!

    Hi ladies

    I just had to post..even though I've been trying to stay quiet for fear of jinxing myself. But Af was meant to come today and there's no sign of her. usually I get spotting on day 25, but today is day 26 and there's nothing but creamy white CM. I've been exhausted (which could be down to working 6 days straight), and possibly needing to pee more. Also, I've been doing..em..number 2's..more regularly..which usually only happens if I'm sick or pg. So fingers crossed. I'm going to wait until Thursday morning to test..provided AF doesn't show. I've had basically no cramping, which I usually also get when AF is coming, just a few very tiny twinges. *fingers crossed*

    Sorry for the selfish post! I'll get back intothings more soon, I've just been trying not to think about TTC this cycle, but had to share my quiet hopefulness with girls who'd understand!

    Thinking of you all.

    tutmae--Aww, hon, I just read Lilah's story and I'm in I never realized how hard your pg'cy was for you, and that any future ones will be tough, as well. And yet you continue trying...it's inspirational what a strong woman you are! Lilah is so lucky to have such a strong mommy! Thanks so much for sharing Lilah's story with us, I hope it helped in some small way to be able to put it into words...

    Fly free, little Lilah You have a very special mommy, and I know you're watching over her!

    Big, big tutmae!




    issy! How lucky for you to have a family full of mid-wives!

    Jen - yes, we buried her here. She's between my clothes line and the fence, in one of the spots she used to sleep in the sun. I don't know about another dog, it's quite funny our other dog has just come into season, now I have to decide whether I want to breed with her now, or wait until next time. I only have a few more days to make up my mind, then I have to get in touch with a man who has a "dog" version of her. She's an australian cattle dog. We're picky on who we breed her with, she's got such a beautiful temperment. She's the worlds biggest sook.

    Acria that AF (or AB as we call her) doesn't show up at your place.
    Tina - enjoy your special time with DH tonight. Our thoughts are with you today. Buy something special for the new bubba.
    Issy - what an honour for your mum to deliver her little grandsons.

    Back again,

    Ruthie - I can make out a very faint blue line... fingers crossed it gets darker for you

    Tina - you are in my thoughts today - look after yourself

    Acria- oooohhh I so hope this is positive for you but let's just keep quite at the moment to ensure AF doesn't hear

    Issy - great to know we have access to midwifes and the like - i'll keep that in mind if I have quetions

    Jen - Great idea, I'll jump onto FF now and have a look

    AFM - there is no further spotting, it has stopped and so have the cramps, i hope it is just a late build up of hcg

    I wish my body would stop playing games and just let me know once and for all what is going on - good or bad

    If no AF by tomorrow I will go to the Doc and get a BT, I have to get test results back from a pap and toxoplamosis immunity I had a few weeks back anyway so I might as well

    Be back later

    Just a quick note..... weekends are really bad for me thats why you dont hear much from me..... Did another test.. another BFN... but I m just not worried by it all...... I am only 10dpo.... I think doing the tests now are actually good for me.... I m still convinced everything is pointing to a positive, but there is always that slight slight chance.... and I have been TTC for nearly 5 years... that slight chance that its not going to be positive... and these BFN will probably ease that negative in if thats the way its meant to be.... I dont quite know if I worded that correctly... but I know how this head space of mine works and I m going to just keep testing.

    I have to go again..... but will have more time to catch up with everyone tomorrow night.

    Angel - i have everything crossed for you my sweet
    Tina - hugs to you - thinking of you this weekend
    Van - my poop is as nasty as ever (and the gas....) - nothing remotely reminding me of papaya.....sorry......maybe an over-ripe papaya that's been left in the sun a few days is the best I can say.....
