Yeah.....i watched it Lisa, well most of it. I missed about 10 mins at the start, and just as they were preping her for the c/s, a friend of mine rang, and i missed the rest. Bummer....someone always tends to ring when i really want to watch something...
LOL Lisa - not watching it but I am taping it!!! Will watch it later. DH was reluctant to watch. Things are a little rough for him at the moment (not to mention managing the hormonal clomid driven me) with the TTC path so I am sure it isn't something he wants to be reminded of. I find the programs give me hope but he doesn't. How annoying AF is yet to turn up. Mine has gone for the month so it is onwards and upwards to the joy of O!!
I just wanted to thank all of you beautiful ladies for asking about me and telling me to take care of myself!! It means a great deal to have your support. I am working long hours but they are a nice distraction from the TTC journey. Plus I am enjoying work at the moment. The clinical challenge is stimulating my mind.
Kazz - I had a special delivery today of the most beautiful, tiny, finely knitted little booties. They are just gorgeous - you made a grey day shine!!! And they arrived on Tuesday (a special sign for me - but odd for others!!!). Thank you so much. There will be a return package on its way to you tomorrow. DH sat them next to Caitlyn when they arrived so even he thought they were special. I will put them under my pillow tonight and pray for the blessing they bring.
I'll get back to personals soon but until then - lots of sticky vibes for the pregnant and lots of baby dust for the rest of us.
Lisa I watched that too it was really interesting, Hope you are doing well and that as I said before af sorts herself out asap. are you going to go to the dr about it?
Shan That always happens to me too and its always right on the most interesting part or when you are really getting into 2what you are watching LOL
Michelle Glad to hear that you are doing well, and that is so beautiful about the booties Naomi has a pair and they are just presious I hope they make all of your dreams come true. Its great that you are enjoying work atm always makes it a little easier to work long hours.
me well I have been feeling like af is just around the corner my sore back has eased somewhat thankgoodness and now we are another month closer to ttc so that is good too, well hope you all have an absolutely lovely day today
:bluedust: for you all
Just popping in again to wish you all good luck on your TTC journeys
Nic - I am soo, soo sorry for your loss. I don't know what else to say. You have had such a rough time. I truly hope you get some answers soon so that when you decide to try again there might be some sort of plan in place. Have your Drs cosidered trying asprin/clexane for next pg?
Kirsty - special hugs to you too. I really hope you and DH can sort through this and come to a decision that you are both cofortable with. Loss of a baby does put so much strain on marriages it is unbelievable. I know my DH was very anxious about us trying again for fear of how we would hold up as a couple. Don't ignore your own heart - honestly, will you ever be truly happy if you don't try again for another child?
Make sure your DH knows that too - I don't mean that to "bully" him but how is the future going to be for you both if you are still longing for something you can't have.
Hopefully the specialist appt at RWH will help put things in perspective. Maybe if there is "medical plan" in place for the next pg, DH will feel more comfortable about it all. Best of luck for you both
Michelle - just wanted to send you big hug - sorry this round of clomid didn't do the trick - hopefully next time will be the "one". Glad to hear work is a good distraction
Naomi - glad you got the all clear from your scan. "free fluid" just means fluid floating around in your abdominal cavity. There is not meant to be any (so good for you that there wasn't) - its presence can have lots of causes eg peritonitis,ruptured cysts, bleeding internally etc etc. Sounds like a good plan to let your body sort itself out before TTC again. I hope the next couple of mths fly by for you!
Sorry to everyone else - hard to keep up with this thread but hope you all get that precious BFP very soon!
Hi all,
Michelle - Im glad work is going well for you. You sound much happier today :) And hoping that this month is the one for you!! God knows you deserve it. Ive been a bit down past few days as the edd is coming up in 10 days and im finding it difficult to cope, so yes I agree, having such wonderful support through bb does really help.
Amym - before you know it you will be ttc and pg!! I was right about the show! Given the way ive been feeling lately, I made a decision not to watch it.
Me - af has finally arrived this morning in FULL force. My pre loss cycle was 30 days ish with af always arrivning on 22nd. I really think my body is trying to go back to that, with today being the 19th. I will wait and see what happens before i see my gyno.
Have a great day sweets,
Lisa
Morning Girls,
Well it has been an eventful couple of nights.
Rick has again changed his mind on TTC, I want us both to be on the same committent level (as im sure you can understand), which we obviously arnt at atm, we have now (i say we but i ment i) put a hold on ttc, im planning on going back on the pill, and bring in the use of condomns, just to make sure, Rick says he doesnt want kids now for a year. again its the finacial reason.
Its fustrated the hell out of me, aswell as put me on another emotional rollercoaster, cos i get yes one min and then a no the next. The last thing i want is to fall pg and him no wanting it iykwim.
I so desperately want our own bubs, but im not willing to do it on my own, but i dont know if i can wait iykwim, i said we would start ttc at the end of this yr beg of next yr so that way by the time we have bubs its been a yr, iykwim, but now thats on hold to...
and im finding it hard to cope with, not knowing when he will be ready.
Just when i got the all clear too.........
So its unfortunate girls but i will be parting ways with you in this thread and all over ttc threads, i dont think its fair on myself or the other girls to participate on the ttc threads when im no longer actively ttcing. And the fact that I just dont know when and if we will ttc again.
But dont worry im not leaving BellyBelly, and i wont stop stalking all your progresses. I'll be around and never far away......
Take care everyone, loads of love hugs and baby dust to you all
You have all helped me tremendously, cope with life and ttc, i never would have thought i would have coped with a few issues but you have all held me up, thankyou. xxoo
:hello: this is just a see you around wave, followed by a :hug: bugger it :grouphug: lol
Oh Naomi my sweet,
I really hope that Rick changes his mind about waiting a year to ttc again. I know how much you want a little bubs, but I also know how important it is for both of you to want to ttc. Give him some time and yourself a bit of a break too and maybe you can talk about it again in a couple of months and re evaluate your situation.
I hope it all works out for you possum, and I really enjoyed chatting to you, I hope you will drop in to check on us every now and then and let us know whats happening in your life too (not fair if you can stalk us without giving up info on yourself :p )
take care lovey,
Lisa
:hug: Lisa im all :crying: atm lol.
Thankyou for your very sweet post, please rest assured like i said i may not be ttc but doesnt mean im leaving BB nor am i stopping my stalking with you.
I have very much enjoyed the company you have given me aswell and i will keep up to date with you. Wishing you all the baby dust in the world. xxoo
Naomi you are so sweet! Im glad your not leaving bb altogether.
It would have been great to see you leave to go over to PAML though!!
Hi girls
Naomi - I hope the near future brings you the results you want. It is so hard TTC with both of you in 100% so I can only imagine the distress when you are both on a diferent time path. Make sure you pop in here and let us know how you are going.
Lisa - what is your actual EDD?? It is a very difficult time but (in my experience anyway) the lead up to it was far worse than the actual day itself. Try to take some special time for you and DH to remember your baby in the way you feel is appropriate. I went to Mass (not a usual experience for me but it felt right at the time) and lit candles at home. I also cuddled Caitlyn (her urn anyway). DH was on nights which was even harder but we spent time together in the days after.
I completely understand about your body trying to go back to its usual cycle. I am usually 28 days exactly but I am currently 30 days. This has brought me back to a Saturday AF which is where I was pre-pill. I am happy too - the downs when AF arrives are hard to manage but that does go away (or ease) and now I am back in the hope stage where anything is possible. Sending you a big hug and know that you can email me anytime if you want to chat.
Meredith - thank you so much for your hug. I'm hoping the clomid will (finally) work too. Are you feeling better?? I hope you are and back to enjoying the movements of that beautiful, sticky, stubbourn, growing bubba!!!
Sarah - Huge hugs to you. I empathise with those very difficult emotions. I am desparately wanting to be pregnant but it doesn't take away the fears. It is the biggest decision - just making the plans to TTC again. And yet, to be pregnant takes away that special link with Caitlyn. At the moment we share an experience that is unique and that will change when I am pregnant again so where does that leave her?? I want to be pregnant, but I don't want to lose that connection with her. This is part of my morbid and dark thoughts that I rarely share (too weird for most to manage). Please feel free to email me any time you want to chat and don't feel like this is the forum (even though the girls are fabulous!!).
Kirsty - you need a hug too!! It is so hard when you and DH are at a different stage. My poor DH would love us to be pregnant again, but even so, the TTC journey is possibly more difficult for him than for me. He has to deal with me (and that isn't always easy!!) and the disappointment each month as well as knowing there is nothing he can do additionally to get pregnant. Probable more important for him (he's medical too) is that when we do get pregnant, it is back on the rollercoaster of the unknown path where he can't do a thing to make it safe for me (and a baby). Men have a desire to protect and *fix* things for their family. Pregnancy is such an unknown and it leaves them feeling vulnerable and weak (which they aren't). I hope the RWH gives you some answers and a plan that allows DH to reconsider the TTC journey.
Jayne - You make me laugh (and yet fearful - the loo paper checking all night makes me worried .... about me when I get there!!!!) I hope you are still feeling absolutely appalling (in the nicest possible way of course). Roll on Tuesday and the scan.
Bel - look at that ticker you clever thing!! I hope you are well.
Nic - a big hug. Know we are here for you.
Jan - good to see you back (although taking timeout for you is good too).
Amy, Shan, Kazz, Nola (and anyone I have missed - sorry!!) I hope you are having a lovely day.
Truckloads of babydust for all.
Michelle - You are so wonderful, thanks for all your kind words, not just for me but for everyone. As for Caitlyn, she will always be your firstborn, and you will forever have a connection with her. Being pregnant again will help mend some of the pain but it can never replace her or your connection. You will always be her mummy.
My edd was 29 July - and I think you are right about the lead up being so difficult. I think in the coming week I might take up your offer and email you.
dh has suggested that we do something special on that day. We are just deciding on what to do.
will do more personals and catch up with the rest of you tonight,
have a great day..
Lisa
Lisa - we named a star on Caitlyn's due date so every February it will be in the sky shining over us. My nephew believes people who die are stars so it fits nicely. But ultimately if you and DH are together then that is all that matters.
You are more than welcome to contact me at any time.
Hi everyone
Michelle that is just beautiful about the star what a lovely thing to do, I am glad you are feeling better today I hate when af shows up it sends our hormones all over the place.
Lisa I hope you are feeling ok and please know that we are all here for you diring this tough time I am thinking of you and your dh.
Naomi I agree with what the other girls have said give Ricki some time to diegest everything he might change his mind, and although it is a horrible thought and I wish you were ttc now but a year is not really that long ( sorry I know that is a horid thing to say just trying to make you feel better ) big hugs for you sweety and you know that i am here for you whenever you need me or to give my brother a smack in the chops LOL *mwah*
Hi to everyone else I hope you are all keeping warm and well
Hi All,
Michelle, i am so glad that you are feeling a bit better now that AF has left the building, here's hoping you wont see her for another 10 months! Thanks for your kind words, i really thought that things would be easier for me with pregnancy after i managed to get Lucy out without any complications but it just doesnt appear that this is so. I would email you but i dont know your address mine is kab2803@hotmail.com I also totally understand what you are saying about being pregnant again taking away a little bit of your link with Caitlyn, i felt the same way before i get pregnant with Lucy and i also felt a little bit guilty about being pregnant again (it didnt help me that i was pregnant again quickly before Katelyn was even due but thats another story). I can tell you with my whole heart that being pregnant again will not change your bond with Caitlyn in any way. Caitlyn will always be your first born child/daughter and she knows this. I used to tell my Katelyn that i wanted to get pregnant again not to replace her but to have a little bit of the joy that we felt with her in our lives back again and it was because of the happiness that she brought us while she was alive that i wanted another child. i dont know if this helps you at all but i am sure 100% in my heart that you having another child will not change the bond that you have with Caitlyn. In fact out of all the scans that i have had (i had 1 a fortnight with Lucy) my favorite and the one that i remember the most is the 12w one with Katelyn (it was at her 18w scan we found out things were wrong). So even though you will create new memories with a new baby your memories will remain strong with Caitlyn in your heart. Anyway i wont go on here email me if you want to chat.
Lisa, My heart goes out to you mate, it is such a hard time leading up to your EDD. I too found the lead up worse than the actual day because on the day you can do something nice to remember your baby. Its great that you and your DH are going to have some time together, i too have a star for my Katelyn that is always clearly visable around her birth date but there are lots of other things that you can do, email me if you want to chat about things i know its a hard time and you need all the understanding supportive friends that you can get.
Naomi, I was so shocked to read your message and really upset for you, you have had so much to deal with already let alone having to put off TTC for at least a few months. You might not think it but you are incredibly strong and you will make a fantastic mother when you are blessed with a BFP again. Keep coming around darl as you know i just float around hoping for that BFP (lol at myself).
Amy, glad to hear that you are feeling better.
Hi to everyone else although bugger i cant remember what everyone said...my darling Lucy turned off the computer (i had a full box of copy paper in front of the switch) and i lost my whole post and cant remember what you guys said lol. Hope that you are all well and hanging in there on this tough journey.
As for me my dad told me today that they might not be going away next year after all now (so where does that leave me with the waiting to TTC then lol) but they dont know whether they will or whether they wont.....hmmmm maybe i will just start trying for real and make up their minds for them lol.
Catch you guys next week i am off to perth for a few days tomorrow arvo and i dont think i have time to make it on here in the morning. Big hugs all round.
Love Sarah xx
Thanks Sarah. I have sent you an email. Enjoy Perth!!
Kazz - package on the way ;)
I hope you are all having a lovely night. Baby dust all round!!
Hi guys so sorry but really don't have much idea where anyone is up to :confused: coz I've been so slack.
To all who wished us well with our journey thanx heaps, DH & I have sat down & had another big talk & my session with the counsellor yesterday helped clear up a couple of things as well. Initially I had huge dramas with DH telling me he couldn't "deny" me another pg if it was what I wanted, anyway I had issues with the use of the word deny ~ made me think the worst. It wasn't until the counsellor said it is a thing done out of love for me, the fact that he can't make himself tell me that I can't have one more go at it if that is what I want ~ now I look differently at the whole situation! So we have been talking about my expectations from him in regards to travelling the TTC/ PG journey again & have sorted out loads of stuff. Now it is just a sit back & wait game until our appt & hopefully we can jump right back in. Made it really hard coz I've just O'd & all I wanted to do was DTD without the condom!! but common sense kicked in & we realise that September isn't that far away to wait after all.
So again thanx heaps to everyone & I promise to try & get in here more often & keep track of where everyone is at ~ Sorry :o
Thanks Michelle and Sarah for your warm words. Im feeling a little better and dh and I looking forward to doing something to remember our little angel next weekend.
Kirsty - Im so glad things are working out with you and dh on the whole ttc thing. Before you know it you'll be right in here telling us about O, bd'ing and announcing a bfp! we are all here to listen to you whenever you need it lovey.
Amy - thank you too for your nice words. Naomi is so lucky to have you as her sis!
A big cheerio to everyone else.
Lisa Thankyou you are such a sweety :) , I am glad you are feeling alittle better, its great that your dh is so suportive he sounds like a wonderful person I am glad he is looking after you.
Kirsty Thats great that you have sorted it all out with your dh, we are on the wait together here and I cant wait till I hear you announce a BFP and hopefully I will be there right beside you ( in a matter of speaking LOL )
Sarah I hope you have a geat time in Perth I would love to go there someday
So do you have a plan as to when you will be TTC Amy?
I think early October we will start ttc that way it gives us time for our private insurance waiting period to be over and we had planned for about a year after my last m/c as we didn't want to tempt fate again, so it wont quite be a year but 6 months I know that with in myself I feel better now and healthier too, its a little bit daunting but its really what we want to do.
I think I will make an appointment and get a referal for an Ob in late Augst early september to make sure I have the all clear and go from there.
Woohoo you'll be on that TTC journey before you know it.
We were a bit the same, I am champing at the bit to start now but know we can't until we see the specialist in September & I just keep telling myself it is only a few weeks away (won't say months as that sounds sooooo much longer). So it looks like we'll most likely be starting at the same time. Here's wishing us both quick trips
Hallo!! Where has everybody gone?? Its very queit in here...hope you gals are doing some serious bd'ing and thats why its been ever so quiet, or have some of you gotten a bfp in are trying to keep it a secret??? Mmmmmmm . I hope so!
Nothing new with me - af is about getting ready to leave town, so back to the budoir in a few days for me :)
Wishing you all loads of luck in your quest for the bfp this month, c'mon gals someone has to go over with Jayne, so who's it going to be? (who's up for testing??)
Have a great day,
Lisa
PS Amy and Kirsty - so glad that you two will be joining us soon, hang in there gals, it will be Oct before you know it!
Thanx Lisa it's the waiting that is killing me!! I wanna be trying NOW.
Kirsty,
I hope the 'waiting' goes super quick and that getting the bfp takes even quicker! In the meantime, you concentrate on getting your body pg ready missy. That goes for Amy too.
have a beautiful day,
Lisa
OH Kirsty, I am so happy that things are working out. I only know to well the ttc journey, But come September it will be all over for you and you will be announcing a BFP once again to us all. I am not sure if you have posted any of your test results or not (if you did I apologize as I must have missed them), but if not I would love to know how everything went. As I think of you often and just never get around to asking. Even if you dont want to disclose that is fine and I totally understand. Just make sure you are back in the paml before I leave and that is an order OK!.
A big hello to everyone else. Hoping and trusting that there are a lot of eggies getting caught and that we see you all over in the paml thread with Meredith, Jayne and I along with all the other wonderful Ladies in the very near future.
Love to you all
Nola & Treacle.
xoxoxo
Kirsty Yup I say bring it on now and am very much looking forward to it, Thanks for the well wishes the same goes for you I really hope both our journeys are short sharp and sweet, I try not to look at it in months wise either just sounds way to far away LOL.
Lisa Glad to hear af is going outa town I am sending truck loads of babydust your way so that this is your month I want to hear you announcing a BFP in 30 days heheheheheheh alrightie LOL, but seriously good luck I am praying for you I hope this is the month for you.
Hi Nola, glad to see your ticker I am always keeping an eye out for it woohoo at 15 weeks 5 days thats just wonderful
Hi to everyone else it sure is rather quite in here as Lisa said I hope its cause you are all b'dancing or hiding your bfp's LOL
Have a great day girls
*MWAH*
Hi all you lovelies,
Just popping in to say Hi :hello:
I have been keeping up with everyone's posts, but nothing happening on my end to contribute, gym is great i only hope i can keep it up as it is hard, sore work.
Sorry i am not as frequent as i used to be, i just find it easier to not TTC without being on here every hour of the day IYKWIM!!!
Lots of love to you all
Shell
Shell - OMG I was thinking about you about an hour ago!! I was just hoping that you were okay and doing well now that your not officially ttc. Good on you for sticking it out at the gym. Im pretty lazy like that, but dh said I should get back to my excercise as it will make me feel better and more energetic (I think he secretly wanted to tell me that the 7kg I put on is starting to show!1 LOL!)... You will have a hot new body in no time! Nice to hear from you sweets.
Amy - awwww your so sweet! thanks lovely , I really hope this is my month too - hoping for a little gift from my angel who was due at the end of this month, roughly when I should be getting ready to O.
Im so glad you joined us before your official ttc journey - its like your the new Naomi! LOL! How is that little possum anyway?
Michelle and Tanya - where are you two hiding??
Thanks Nola too for all your baby dust.... we are hoping to ship at least one more off to PAML by the end of the month, I just dont know whos up for testing this week.
Me - with all the spotting I had, AF is about to leave and its only the 3rd day. My cycle sure is weird. Ive heard drinking certain types of tea can help with weird cycles - but I cant remember the name - anyone know?
Im having friends over for dinner tonight (for lasagne .. mmm) and then doing some housework tomorrow, and Im going to see a psychic (havent told dh yet.. he would be against it) but I feel like I want to go and see what my future will hold. I know you cant believe everything they say but I havent been and I feel the time is right. So i'll jump on tomorrow night and let you all know what she says.
take care and hope you all have a great weekend.
PS Sarah - hope your enjoying perth!
Lisa Naomi is doing ok I think she is really disapointed in Rickis decission which is understandable as she feels ready now and the odds are against them a bit with Ricki having been on Medication that can cause a low sperm count for his Underactive Thyroid gland so I think she is a bit cross at him for not really thinking that part of it through very well but hey he is a guy after all LOL so hope fully she gets heslf all sorted out with cycles etc and Ricki changes his mind to the begining of next year.
I am glad I doined now too you are all getting me ready for my journey and making me feel excited about it again and not so much afraid.
Shell Thats great about the gym, I am hopeless at sticking to that sort of thing hehehehehehe once it starts hurting I am outta here LOL, you are going to be looking and feeling fab in a few months so WTG,
I'm here :rolleyes: Just in a low energy mood all the time.
The Dr's appointment on Wednesday was uneventful! She said if the spotting continues for another 2 cycles come back for further investigation. She was of the mind, because I am 29, that I am in no real rush to be pregnant. To which I told her that it is very stressful, so the shorter time getting pregnant the better!! She also said (after I asked her) that it may be harder to conceive with the spotting.
I had a 0.21oC dip in my temp today, not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing :confused: I suppose tomorrows temp will tell me a little more. I am going to test (despite the bad BD timing and spotting) tomorrow I think, if my temp is substantially higher than todays... wish me luck ;)
I hope you are all well
Tanya
Lisa - I am here!!! Just working. On night shift tonight so off to have a snooze so I can make it safely home - the shift isn't the problem, only the drive back. O coming in around a week ish so at the moment the BDing is just for fun and to remind us that we actually like doing it without a purpose too!! I am not much help with the tea though - my stuff (although I have been slack and not doing it for the past month) is chinese traditional medicine so I have no idea of the exact contents.
Amy - how are you doing?? Naomi is very lucky to have your support (and to smack her DP / your brother up the side of the head when needed). Not long to go now ... in my terms, your start of TTC is the end of this session on clomid (a total of six months) and for me that is waaaay too close so it can't be too far away for you either!!
Shell - I am so proud of you and your work at the gym. I need to get there - my motivation is just poor at the moment. But I WILL be there next week. Or else!!
Hi Tanya!! and a big hello to everyone else.
Well, I just had coffee with a friend and neighbour and her beautiful little 7 month old baby (where did the time go???) who is gorgeous and a pleasure to play with. Such a happy baby. We were pregnant together for a while. I just would REALLY love one of my own ..... sigh. Made a very cute little pair of booties for a friend who is over half way and we have yet to see her (DH and I work with him). I feel like he is avoiding us and excluding us to some extent. I have moments where I just want to tell him I am not a leper and I won't curse his child. I am only a *black widow* with my own (which I hope will shortly change). Just having a moment - it is hard enough they are due around Caitlyn's birth date, without them (mainly him) avoiding us. The reality is he probably isn't but we used to go out more often and are good friends. I just feel like they have moved away since getting pregnant.
Anyway - enough venting. I have to sleep or be VERY grumpy at 4am. Will catch up with you all over the weekend.
Hello Ladies,
Lisa - You are a mind-reader! I was just hopping in here to see who's up for testing so I know who's name to write on the back of the chair next! LOL. How are you going?
Michelle - So sorry to hear you've been black-listed to an extent from your friends who are pg atm. That really isn't fair. If only they realised it's 10 times harder for you to be around them! I wanted to say again, how much I love the star naming that you did for Caitlyn. Absolutely gorgeous! So the O time is looming? Maybe you could make a special dinner that night or something to take the pressure off? Even go to a hotel and have a wild ravishing bdfest on hotel sheets! LOL.
Tanya - Your Dr obviously doesn't have children or has never had to actually TTC. I think she could have put some more effort into her investigation. Were you happy with the appt? If you were, that's the main thing. Just from the sounds of it, she was a bit la-di-da about it? I'm just being selfish cos I want all of you KNOCKED UP!
Shell - How are the workouts going? How is Hayleigh liking the creche? I bet you're looking fab already!
Well, I have been as sick a dog. I haven't been vomiting (cos I have a phobia), but I have felt like I've been on a rollercoaster that it on a boat for the last couple of days. The constant m/s is helping my mind and my constant knicker-checking, but I'm still terrified. I'm scared of seeing a hb on Tuesday and then losing it between then & the 12 week scan. I'd prefer to lose it before I saw it IYKWIM? The fear is ruining the pg experience as well as the m/s! LOL. I'm sooooo needing some of you to join me to make it easier! Once again, I'm being selfish. Oops!
Best of luck to you all about to O and if anybody is in the TWW.
Love Jayne
Hi Tanya - sorry your feeling a bit down - I was like that for a few days, starting to feel better now though. Yes at 29 the dr's think oh your sooo young and have plenty of time, but the yearning for a child is not dependent on your age, its about how you feel inside, and I want a baby so badly, Im 28, so does that mean I should go away until Im 40 and then they will help me? Whether your 19, 29 or 39 the yearning for a child is the same, if its in you its in you and thats it. My dr said something similar to me after the ectopic, and it was like HELLO?? I want a baby now, not in 10 years time, I feel I am ready now - obvsioulsy my body isnt aligned with my brain - LOL!! So I totally understand where you are coming from. You just keep on bd'ing my dear, and you will get that bfp! How are your little princesses?
Michelle - aww shift work - joys of being in your proffession, but I do admire you lot heaps :) who else will look after us simpletons?? As for your friends, some people think that once you have had a loss that you never want to be around pg people again - but they dont realise that sort of approach is isolating and only highlights your loss further. Maybe you should initiate a dinner date with this couple? Sometimes being around babies and pg woman can be theraputic and give some hope. Chin up missy, you will be with a baby in your belly soon. I can feel it in my bones.
And LOL at being able to bd when you feel like it - Ive forgotten what that feels like! My DH is so funny - he gets all excited and procliams ' lets make babies' and he doesnt want to bd unless Im obulating! (ive taught him that its with a v not a b! ),
Amy - send my love to Naomi, I hope it all settles down soon and she can ttc before the end of the year!
Big hi's to everyone else,
Lisa
Jayne - we posted at the same time! Im sure I will be the same when I get pg checking the knickers and crapping my dacks before the first ultrasound. I know the m/s is horrible, but as you say its reassuring as you know your pg hormones are alive and well and little bubba is doing a good job at making mummy sick! I will be praying for you on Tuesday.
Wish we could be over there in PAML with you, but we are all here if you need to talk about your fears etc.. Cant wait to hear how strong little bubba's hb is on Tuesday,
take care matey,
lisa
Hi Ladies just wondering if I could join you here in this forum, I am going to embark on my 3rd IVF ICSI cycle starting in 2007, just needed a break for a while.
I have 3 little angels, in 1993 I suffered an ectopic pregnancy at 6 weeks in the right fallopian tube which ruptured, I then suffered another right ectopic pregnancy in feb of 2003 in some stump that was left behind, a couple of months later in may 2003 I suffered a left ectopic pregnancy and had to have my left fallopian tube removed, so I guess I have been trying to concieve since 2003, we have had 2 stimulated IVF ICSI cycles and 3 FET'S which all resulted in bfn, I have been a member of belly belly for some time now but always seemed to be in the LTTC and AC forums, I hope to get to know you all more over the coming weeks.
Good luck to you all and I hope your TTC journeys are over soon.
Cass
Hi...
Welcome Cass :) I hope your stay here is short and sweet cause us girls in here sure are sweet ;) )
Lisa and Jayne, yeah, the Dr was a little unsympathetic to my cause... but I didn't expect her to be. I just wanted a Dr's advise on my cycle. SO I am ok with it :) She did offer a pelvis U/S but I said I didn't think it necessary at this point in time
Michelle, Hi right back at yu ;) Night shift... BLUGH!! Sorry to hear you feel you friend may be avioding you... I hope that isn't the case.
Well it's a BFN for me... I thought I could see 'something'(may have been my eyes...LOL), and now that it is dry it is easier to see, but it's a BFN. It was one of those super sensitive ones from lullaby too.
Temp is back up despite taking it @ 5:10 (usually around 6am), so that is a good thing. I was getting AF cramps last night (I don't get af cramps before af, but during) so not sure what to think about those.
I have a busy day here... nephews 11th bday in benalla today, so we are taking our bbq over there for lunch... fingers crossed for nice weather.
Tanya
Welcome Cass, I am not ttc until late Sept early Oct and this will be for my third child, good luck with your journey I hope its a short one for you.
Tanya boohoo at the BFN hopefully it changes over the next few days I hve my fingers crossed for you, * pokes tounge out * @ that dr I hate dr's that think you are there for nothing and are not sympathetic. Have fun at your bbq today hope the weather stays nice for it
Well girls I wrote a big post last night and then when I hit the post button I lost it waaaaaaaaa I think its cause I was trying to post at the exact same time as Lisa and Jayne LOL how often does that happen that 3 of us were trying to post at the exact same minute heheheheheheh was quite funny but I wish I had saved my post grrrr @ me cause I usually do but just didn't for some reason silly me.
We went to bed last night and DH fell asleep pretty quickly but i could not sleep so I laid there for about 1/2 hour and heard this weird noise outside so I nudged him and we both ran out and it was some drunk guy had drived right over this massive mediun strip we have on our street which drops of on our side about a meter and a half and landed on the car on its side on our side of the street LOL what an idiot he was yelling ' my ute my ute its totaled the guy went that wat he ran it of the road and left'
when the police got there they asked him who's car it was he said mine and the police man said well who was driving and he said 'I dont know' hehehehehehehe so the officer asked him why he didn't know the driver of his own car and he said 'I was in the back I dont know who it was' what an idiot he had the police laughing and all of the spectators laughing cause he was so blomin drunk he expected them to buy his lame story I bet he is feeling sorry for himself today hehehehehehe lmao
oh Amy.....as dangerous as that was, i probably would have been laughing as well. I love going out and not drinking just so i can watch all the dumb things that drunk people get up to. Yes...occasionally i like to be those drunk people, but since TTC i haven't had many big nights out, so it's fun to watch....ps. glad noone was hurt...
Thanks Emma....and i will gathering up some of that babydust that you have just sprinkled around....hope it works!!!!
ps...not too much longer until you can meet Gaby....bet you are getting excited now hey...
Hi Everyone,
I am back from Perth, had a lovely lunch with Michelle from PAML and Layla (used to be in this forum and PAML).
Kirsty, I am really glad that you have managed to sort things somewhat with Stephen, i understand exactly that the words that they use dont actually mean what they want them to mean if you know what i mean about him using the word "deny" when he really wanted to do something for you because he loves you so much! Hang in there matey September really is coming look its almost August. I realise too that August is going to be an extremely hard month for you, rant away to me if you need me you know where i am.
Lisa, How are you feeling now, AF has left?? How are you feeling about you EDD coming up too? What have you and DH planned? I really really hope that this is your month too!
Tanya, i am really sorry that you got a BFN and a nasty doctors appointment. Did S/he elaborate on why its harder to conceive with spotting or am i missing something?
Michelle, I will reply to your email very soon. Bummer about your friend too, if they are actually avoiding you it might because they think that they will upset you rather than you going to put a hex on them IYKWIM. They are probably thinking about your feelings especially if they are around 25 weeks pregnant. Like i said i will email you later.
Jayne, Yay on you having MS i mean that in the nicest possible way but you have to take this as a very good sign that this bubba is in there growing strongly. I know that you feel terrified of going to your scan, i have been there and it is an afwul feeling but you are doing the best for your bub by having a look so that when you see that heartbeat pounding away strongly your confidence in this pregnancy will grow. Im sorry that any of us have to go through such scared feelings with a pregnancy after losing a baby..... hang in there you will be holding that bub before you know just try to take one day at a time and rant away we know how you are feeling (which is completely normal btw but it doesnt make you feel better).
Cass, Welcome i am so sorry to hear of the loss of your babies. I dont know much about FET etc but there is loads of support for you here.
As for me...now my mum and dad reckon they might go up north in June or July for 6 weeks rather than go to the UK...aaaaargh when exactly am i supposed to fit in a baby lol. So we have decided to start trying without trying if that makes sense...no contracteption (doing that already lol!!)...and not avoiding the O timing but without going overboard...This is all DH's idea. As we tried for both Katelyn and Lucy he wants this one to kind of just happen without out the whole "i am o'ing now jump on board and then laying with my bum on a pillow for the next half hour" lol at myself...so who knows what the next month will bring....hopefully i can read my body signals right and get in a bd at the exact right time without giving too much away to DH!!!! We will see.
Lots of love to you all and sorry if i have missed anyone. Hugs to All.
Love Sarah xx
