Hi all - just dropping into the new thread to wish you all some baby dust... you are never far from my mind, even though I don't post much in here anymore.
AFM - all seems to be going swimmingly now - 31 weeks can you believe it? I can't, this is truly a miracle. I won't do persies, as there are so many new names in here at the mo, I need to go back and catch up.
dory - 9 weeks to go - into the single figures sweety...hoping the next couple of months fly for you
wishing all you lovely ladies a great weekend especially those that are about to do the bd bonanza, those waiting to 'o', in the TWW and waiting to test
I'm doing this one from memory so forgive me if I miss anything.
Possum- I am so sorry this has been so hard for you sweetie. I have my FX that this mc resolves itself without you having to take any hardcore drugs. Hugs for you..
Clairesmummy - So sorry, hun... what terrible news. How are you holding up?
Matthews mum - Your positive attitude is wonderful. It must be hard having to wait another cycle for another fet, but I hope the doctors are right and next month you have a MUCH better shot at this.
Hi to Iona, Reet, everyone else...
AFM, ms has kicked in bigtime. I had to go to bed at 7.30 last night because I felt so rotten. Even just watching masterchef I was gagging seeing all that meat prep. Ughhhhh! Today has been pretty good, except for some random bile appearing while I was trying to swallow my massive football sized vitamins. (sorry for TMI, lol..) I did manage not to lose my vitamin though, don't ask me how... haha. Also today at work someone asked me if i was hungover. I must look terrible! Still looking forward to my scan on Monday, but feeling a little bit nervous as well. I guess ms kicking in is a good sign. I don't remember feeling so awful last pg. Anyway, sorry for so much me-ness, I've been a bit out of action the last couple of days, finding it hard to keep up in here now.
I hope everyone is well and looking forward to seeing lots of BFPs in here this month. And remember... Sore Bust in August!!!
So sorry Clairesmummy. I really am feeling for you!! Hugs to you!!! If it makes you feel any better mine was a pos followed by a neg and AF showing up early. Dr said it was simply day 1 of cycle and it wouldnt make this month any harder to get preg again!!
Mrs Macca- Im glad the drs went ok.. and i really hope af shows up early for u!! Theres nothing worse then waiting and waiting for her when u know shes meant to be coming. Hopefully ur hcg levels will be right down by next week. Fx!
Minnie- I take the clomid from day 5 to day 9.. and usually O 5-10 days after that. Did u get ur test results back?? How was it all?? Did the dr prescribe u what u wanted??
Kezza- Im defintely NOT an early tester anymore.. i did it one month and it was enough to cure me forever! I HATE seeing a single line!! Wld much rather af just come. And i think i had heard that clomid can thin ur lining but i forgot all about it.. maybe thats why this af has been really light..?? I might stop taking it for a couple months after this cycle.. just hopefully I O by myself.. or even better dont have to worry bout anything cos ill be utd! Good luck with ur weight loss.. i have tried so many times to go on a health kick but never succeed.. Can u pass some of ur willpower and motivation onto me pls??!
Claires mummy- Sorry to hear ur sad news enjoy ur weekend away.
Possum- Oh i hope u dont have to put more drugs into ur body. Did the dr say that if u had to have the methotrexate treatment that u wldnt be able to ttc for a few months?? Lets hope that doesnt happen. FX ur hcg levels drop over the next week.
Forshelby- Yay for the full on ms!!! Is dp looking after u?? Those pants might start getting a bit looser again now that u wont be able to stomach food as much! 2 days til scan.. woohoo!!!
Matthews mum- I hope this cycle doesnt roll on for toooo long.. TTC always seems like such a big waiting game. Glad u can still be positive tho xx
Mum22- What day do u normally O on?? Yay for the bd bonanaza comin up!
Dory- Wow! U are so close!! The next 2 months will fly past.
Iona- How are u feeling?? as bad as forshelby??
Bons- Hope u caught that eggy!!! How did it go at the parents house??
Sorry if i have missed anyone.
AFM- Still slightly spotting.. which is annoying! Only really notice after bding tho. Hopefully once i finish the clomid it stops ready for O time! Dh is going away monday.. i told him he must be home by friday.. that will be day 14.. hopefully this month will be the same as last month and i wont O til day 18.. FX!!!
Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.. we had a public holiday yesterday for the show so im enjoying a relaxing 3 day weekend! We went to a mates place last nite and i had 3 drinks and got a headache.. how sad is that!!! Is was a good nite tho.. he has a big property so we took the dogs up.. they loved being able to just run free for a while.. I sometimes wish i lived somewhere in the wilderness.. but then i think i wld become a depressed hermit! i dont get out enough as it is!!
Hi Ladies!! So... I just spent the last 2 days catching up on everything that happened in the last month... and I just have to say... holy cow I missed you guys!!!
Obviously its a lot to do persies on 30something pages, but I have a couple;
Possum I'm really sorry you're back here. How are you?
Iona Sorry for your loss last month, but big congrats on your BFP!!! How are you feeling?
Dampyre Sorry for your loss . Uhmm... I do have to ask... has your DP had any more luck with his new "toy"? LOL
Reet How is your dog going? Did you get her in to training?
Forshelby Congrats to you!!!!! I'm so happy for you!!
to all the new ladies. I'm sorry you've had to join us, but I hope these wonderful women are helping you like they've helped me.
AFM: Life has picked up 100% since they realised I have a thyroid issue. I decided to stop TTC and focus on fixing me for a while. I started seeing a dietition, and realised I'd put 10kgs on since the m/c in Feb . AF has still been all over the place. I tested when she was 3 days late and got a BFN, then tried to ignore her for a while until I realised on wednesday that she was 3 weeks late again. I was going to ignore her again, but decided on the spur on the moment to do another test, and I got a BFP
DH and I are happy but hesitant. I'm at the same time now (7 weeks) that the little one stopped growing last time, so I'm just going with the flow. I don't think I'm ready yet to move to the PAML thread. I hope that's ok?
Reet - dp has been pretty good about things. He grumbled a bit about cooking dinner 2 nights in a row (cue violin music) but I didn't take any notice. If I need help, dang it he's going to help me. When i felt violently ill the other night he was sympathetic, and kept asking if i was ok. I think he's getting better at this. Oh and he does the kitty litter no questions asked. 3 drinks is pretty good.. I can usually barely finish 1. Now i'm glad i have an excuse not to drink... i'm so not into it at the best of times! Glad the furbabies had fun too. Oh and bring on the bd bonanza! This is your month, remember?!
Mskara - Thanks, i'm 7wks today too! Also the same stage my mc began. No bleeding yet.... feeling more confident with each passing day. Don't worry about not feeling ready for PAML yet... I'm not either. TBH, I don't really like it in there...... I feel weird and out of place. I just want to stay here with my girls forever. And finally... CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! Take it one day at a time, hun. Have you had bt's etc done?
Loops - I'm dying to hear if you've tested yet!
Iona - How are you doing today??
Dory - HI!!! 9 weeks to go. It won't be long now until you're holding that precious bundle. Thinking of you!
I know I've missed some of you, I'm sorry... brain not workies properly. Hehe.
AFM, I'm feeling pretty good today, (7wks today) no ms so far but a bit of stretchy crampiness and a VERY bulging belly. Damn bloating......I had a fun morning shopping with my sister though. She's getting married in 5 weeks, so it's been really fun having so much exciting stuff going on in our lives lately.
In other news, I got a pair of cute flats today for $6. That's right. You heard me. And they're silver! And I got them at Diana Ferrari!!!!! I LOVE YOU EOFYS SALES!!!!! LOL.. I never realised how much I would miss high heels though. I was genuinely sad looking at all the pretty shoes I just can't justify buying anymore. I'll have to live vicariously through my sister for a while. And she's definitely getting me a pair of post-birth heels so I feel fabulous. LOL...
Ok, I'm rambling again. Just had a really fun morning and am SO looking forward to this scan. I'm starting to feel like this little one is in it for the long haul. This is exactly when the bleeding started last pg, and so far no sign. Everything feels good and 'right'. I thought I would be so much more terrified. I just have this overwhelming calm feeling going on. Like someone is telling me everything is ok this time. I can't explain it, it's just instinct or something. Last time I knew something was wrong right away, I just ignored my instincts thinking 'what would I know about being pg'. Turns out more than I thought. From then on I decided never to ignore my gut feeling again.
LOL MsKara, no more toy for a bit. I done well last night though, avoided temptation.... found other avenues to take instead though When the time is right we will start trying again but until then I seriously need to lose weight, at least get under 90kgs.
clairesmummy, sorry to hear your hpt is now neg, have you started bleeding ?
mskara: congrats to you, you can be belly buddies with forshelby !
forshelby: tell your dh to "suck it up princess" when he complains about cooking dinner lol my DD says it to my DS when he sooks !
damprye: im with you in the weight loss, pm me if you want to join forces. what was the story with the person coming to your house the other day ?
Reet: i hope your dh gets back im time for a good few bd episodes, a bit strange you are spotting, now, maybe your hormones are not right
possum i saw your other thread, did you reach any decision about the drugs the dr wants you to take ?
afm i saw the specialist yesterday, all my blood tests were fine with the exception of my insulin levels which are slightly elevated but my fasting blood sugar was fine so that confused the dr, i'd say its probably because of my pcos and insulin resistance but i have to have yet another 2 hour blood sugar test, i had one last year and it was fine. so he gave me clomid but said to wait for 3 months before using it to let things settle down since my m/c, he said you cant have too many doses in your life so he advised making sure the times i took it gave me the optimal chance of a positive outcome. said when (if) i get pregnant to go and see him at 5-6 weeks and when he sees a heartbeat on u/s he will them start the progesterone and clexane support, i wasn't sure about this, asked if i should have it sooner but he basically said if it can't get to 6 weeks on its own it wasn't a good one to begin with.......i spoke to a friend who works at a fertility clinic and she suggested when i get bhcg done to get progesterone done too to see if its low then i can contact him and start it all sooner, this makes good sense to me so i'll do that
so we wont be trying yet but i am planning on hanging around and following you girls if thats ok, hopefully by the time we try most (all) of you are gone (in the nicest possible way!) onto the pregnancy threads (although selfishly i would like to go through it all with you girls !)
for starters, had finished my messaged. persies and all when "the server encountered an error" and completly wiped my page clean... ahhhhh so annoying! so here it is, for the second time around..
clairesmummy - so sorry to hear of your loss. we are here, and we understand. i hope that mum22 is right and that this wont effect your cycle too much. and that you can start ttc asap or as soon as you feel ready.
dory - you are so close. i bet you are getting excited. i think i would be getting impatient right about now, just wanting to meet bubs so bad.
forshelby - ms is a great sign, so i hope it sticks with you. i mean that in the nicest possible way =) i lost my baby at 7 weeks too and i know that next time i am utd, reaching that point is gonna feel like such a milestone, and like a huge weight has been lifted! good luck with your scan =) they are such a beautiful thing.
reet - i really hope that the clomid has got your body back into a rhythm and you can O on your own. there seems to be something in the air with these ladies thou so im hoping that this last cycle of clomid is a lucky one for you! does your DH go away to work? for how long? mine does too and its a pain in the bu*t! hehe. also there are a few easy things you can do for weight with little effort. the first is not eating after 7/7.30pm. and the other is portion control, we always eat so much more than is necessary to satisfy us. that was all i did and i lost 4kg in 3 weeks. give them a try!
mskara- congratulations. everyone always says it happens as soon as you stop "trying". so much easier said than done thou. take care of yourself and as you said "go with the flow".
damprye - good luck the weightloss. set yourself realistic goals and allow yourself to be proud when you achieve them.
minniemouse - sorry to hear that you have to wait, but i think that when you start ttc i will probably still be here. DP works away and we miss O alot so hopefully we can share our journey together one day, sooner rather than later =)
AFM: not feeling confident this month. i am either 8 or 10 DPO depending on whether me or FF is right and i feel just normal, no signs. which is a little depressing. i think i am going to give up charting next month and just have a bit of fun with it for a while. i dont seem to be getting pregnant either way. and i think i will have more of a chance once they done my laporoscpy anyway.
Kezzy- Oh doesnt that annoy the hell out of u when u lose a post! gggrrrr! yeah my dh works away.. sometimes 3 weeks..sometimes 4 and then 1 week home. He works on satellite towers..erecting them etc.. so he travels around a lot. 2 months ago he was working away when O time came around so i put the dogs in the back of the ute and drove 500ks up a dirt track to get to him! very sad i know haha but i just cldnt let a chance slip! unfortunately my body let me down and i had random spotting for the 3 days i was with him. Taught me not to force things tho i guess! How long does ur dp go away for? What does he do? Oh i really hope u are utd this month but if not i really hope that waiting list hurrys up so u can get that laparoscopy.
Minnie- Yeah it is a little weird that i have spotting still..altho clomid has always made af drag on a bit longer whenever i have had it.. i think its almost stopped now tho.. thank goodness. I hope u dont end up needing the clomid and u fall pg all by urself in the next couple months!
Forshelby- Im so happy that ur relaxed and calm.. thats excellent. If i were u i wld be freaking out i reckon! U must be right tho..something is telling u it will be all fine.. ur intuition is a very powerful thing. Pls remind me to be calm and at peace when i finally get pg! Has dp got some time off on monday to go to the scan with u?? Have u got the day off or just an hr or so??
MsKara- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!! So happy for u!! I really hope everything runs smoothly and u get to meet ur little bub in 33 weeks!!
Reet: i actually dont want to try without the clomid because my two kids are from clomid and my 3 m/c were from natural pregnancies, i dont know if it is coincidence but im going to wait and use clomid
kezzy: i hope you are successful this month, if not we might get to do a cycle together in the next few months
u girls with the husbands away a lot must find it so hard and frustrating especially around ovulation time !
still sick here with the cold prob didn't help that i went to the races yesterday but have woken with lower back ache so hoping it's from wearing my heels on grass all day grr as i don't have spotting or anything.....but did feel queasy when i woke up this morn so here's hoping it's just pulled or over stretched muscles lol
Here's another lazy 'from memory' post which tbh is not working all that well. I'm so tired I could pass out in an instant! Apologies in advance to those I don't mention by name. It's not on purpose, I'm just really slack today and DP is nagging me to do his tax and arghhh!!! LOL
Reet - I thought I would be freaking out too, but it just didn't happen. I didn't even cry when I got my bfp. I just stared at it, and in my head all I could hear was 'OMG OMG OMG OMG' lol. Unfortunately I don't know of DP can make it to the scan tomorrow, as we're both working (at the same place conveniently, not sure if I've mentioned that) but being a truck driver it's hard for him to know exactly when he'll finish. That and the despatch guy FLOGS him and sends the others home early. Ok, so the overtime is good, and that doodle head in despatch (LOL) is only lining our pockets... but it frustrates me that DP misses out on things like this because of it. AAAANYWAY... I booked it in for 4.10pm since I finish work at 4, so I'm hoping he'll only cop an hour of overtime, and be able to come with me. If not, I just want to see a heartbeat. That's all I want. Oh and pictures. The waiting for pictures will be a killer... So I suppose that answers your question, no, I don't have the day off for the scan. As if. LOL.. I work in a department with this stupid wrinkled selfish old hypochondriac battleaxe who is sick every day. And I mean every day. She hasn't been to work for the last 2 weeks straight bar one day, so I'm not really able to take the leave I need. It makes me angry... cause if you can't do your job properly, you should retire. Anyway, I'm ranting.... she irritates me so much with her rude behaviour and generally disgusting habits. (coughing in your general vicinity, not covering mouth, blowing nose while ON THE PHONE to customers....... eating FISH of all things at her desk, making 8 cups of tea a day while ignoring her ringing phone and evil-eyeing me to answer it..........) Come to think of it, I hope she never comes back to work. LOL. I feel gaggy just thinking about her ludicris behaviour.
Iona - What are you doing wearing heels you naughty girl! LOL... I've banished mine to the hallway cupboard until after the baby is born because they just hurt my feet/back etc. I'm in comfy mode right now. Try not to worry about the lower back pain, I get it on and off, but it's never severe, it's just a warm slightly achey feeling. As long as there's no cramps, spotting or severe lower back pain, all is well.
Once again, apologies for my weird disjointed rambly post. I'm tired, but wanted to say hi to you all. Those of you i didn't mention/reply to, I am here, and paying attention (I am, I am!) I will make it up to you next time. Pinky swear. Will update after my u/s tomorrow. Eeeeeeeeee.....
Forshelby Yep I had bts on friday. I'm going to ask my GP for am early peace of mind scan this week, as my m/c stopped developing at 7wks, but I didn't actually bleed until 10wks. This time I will be keeping a closer eye on things! Unlike you, I cried for hours when I got my BFP. I was so shocked and terrified! All I wanted was a cigarette!! LOL (I instantly quit in that moment don't worry!). I composed myself and went to work. I had to go and speak to my old boss when I got in, and he took one look at me, asked me what's wrong and I instantly burst in to tears again LOL.
Dampyre I hear you! My goal was to get there as well. Now... well I think I'll keep up with the dietician's meal plans until i see her next week and add extra snacks if I feel dizzy or hungry!
Minnie: I think you're still TTC even if you're not trying right now ;-)
