Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ June/July 2006

Jayne, Im on my second cycle of vitex which i think is the same as the stuff you have taken, so hopefully i will have had enough in my system for it to do the trick while we BD over the week and hopefully then i shall only be 2 weeks behind you!!! don't go too far, you have a few passengers to take with you, im sure i will get a BFP once i get Kazzy's booties under my pillow!!

What did DH say to the good news???

Naomi, Take it easy Hun, do the HPT and then you will know for sure and i agree with Lisa or Liwa as she likes to be called:cryinglaugh: go and take a lovely bath and relax, thats what im going to do tonight, will check back in later to see how the test went!

Shell, hopefully you will recieve the booties tomorrow as I sent them off for you yesterday. :)

Hello to my Dear and very special Friend Kazz Just wanting to send my special boys a big hug from Aunty Nola xoxoxo

Will chat with you tomorrow.

Thanks Kazz, I will be waiting patiently by the mail box!!!!

Wow!! You've been a bunch of busy bees today!!!

First and foremost - CONGRATULATIONS Jayne!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you, you clever girl!! Don't worry about the cold and flu tablets you took - it was prior to implantation and *stuff* doesn't cross to the baby until there is a placenta so you'll be fine. Just remember all those children conceived in a night of drunken passion!!!

Lisa - hello gorgeous!! Yes, I am coming up to testing. 1 week to go until D-day (again) so I am hoping that Jayne has shared that baby dust Aunty Nola sent over (just kidding - I know she did. She even has bungee ropes to tie us to her!!!!) You have said some lovely things today for Naomi. Just what is needed when we have our moments.

Speaking of moments. Naomi - how are you?? I hope the bath, milo, cyber hugs have helped. We are with you in spirit when you test. Just feel the love!!! It is horrible to have a day where you feel so awful but remember that crying is good for you. Makes you feel so much better (eventually).

Shell - how's the other Michelle doing tonight?? Getting ready for some intense work!?!?! I think we have bungee cords attached to Jayne - so they will stretch .... there's no pressure (except what we put on ourselves!!)

Nic - I am so sorry. No words will help but just feel the cyberhugs and know we care about you very much.

Kazz - The support you have shown me since Caitlyn has been amazing and shows what a special person you are. Without those words the past 8 months (yep - it's almost that long) would have been so much more difficult. Thank you. Maybe your bootie knitting is setting off a new trend - BFP's!!

Kristy - the same goes for you. You have been amazing and such a support. I am so hoping you get the green light to try again ASAP.

Deb and Shan - welcome to our little group of slightly mad, but completely loveable, TTC women. We are a lovely bunch (even if I do say so myself!!!)

Moglie - how are you doing??

Nola and Michelle and Beccy - I love seeing your ever growing tickers. Soon we will have graduates to join Kazz.

I guess I am having one of those days where I realise the support I personally have received from you wonderful ladies has made my TTC journey after Caitlyn so much more bearable. The ups and downs are hard to bear alone and not many people understand the torture nor the changes in how you feel after you have experienced a loss. I just want to say thank you. I can't do this without you.

Me (besides having one of those moments) - FIL is doing well and may be home to stay with us for a week on Friday so that is great news. I like my IL's so having them stay won't be a problem. Saw the nuns today too (I love the *God squad* as we nicknamed them after Caitlyn's birth - they helped us arrange the special touches of an intimate chapel and a lovely priest and then brought a candle for Caitlyn too). They are such wonderful women (one is DH's great-aunt) and such a support. They are a blessing to have around.

I have a specialist appointment tomorrow to see if there is anything else to do before heading down the IVF path. Went to the gym today too (back on 12 hour shifts so I have more time again - yay!!!!) so I am hoping to be a successful loser like Jayne!!

Oops - a long post but I hope you all have a lovely evening (go the Blues). And Jayne - I am sooooooo happy for you!!!!!!!!

Evening all

I just wanted to say thankyou to everyone for their kind word, hugs and support. I can't express just how much I appreciate it.

Feel the love in here tonight!! LOL!

Naomi - BOL for your trial tomorrow and the testing, will be eagerly awaiting results of both! Sweet dreams to you my dear.

Shell - PMSL on the name jokes - it was a slip of the finger on the keyboard :p Im going to get me some of that vitex (where do I get it from?) I hope it does the trick for you this month.

Michelle 71- my cycle buddy im due in around a week aswell. My ticker says 8 days to go. Praying we can be belly buddies too!! You are absolutely right, bb and all the wonderful sweets on here have made the ttc journey bearable!! Thanks to all for embracing me when I joined up! I was a bit like Shan at the start, reading all the posts but never posting. Am I glad I did post - I got to meet all you wonderful ladies.

Jayne - ohhh its soo exciting. So what will your EDD be?? Thanks for your kind words too. I hope we can meet in PAML soon. Im coming up for testing just after Michelle.

Shan and Deb welcome aboard - hope your ttc journey is short and sweet. We are all in this together.. look forward to getting to know you both.

Shan - i notice your in Vic - a friend of mine had similar 'unexplained fertility' prob and was ttc for 2.5 years. She now has a bouncing bubba (5 months old). If you liKe PM me and I can give you the details of the wonderful woman/clinic that assisted her get pg naturally. Its worth a try.

ME - said goodbye to the family home - v sad moment. But I took video footage and leave with nothing but the best of memories. At least mum and dad are closer to me now they have moved.

Im due for AF in over a week but I was just having some serious cramping. All gone now but it was pretty severe for a few mins? I dunno what is going on with my bod???

Sorry if I forget anyone, oh yes Tanya and Moglie - c'mon girls hope this af is almost over for you so you can get back to the bd!!

Good night and good luck to all!
Lisa

Nic lovey, you are very welcome. Our thoughts are with you and we are all here whenever you need us. Big hugs to you, and I hope that one day soon we can support each other through a normal pg! Good night sweety.

Michelle...i have to say that i totally agree with you on this one. If it wasn't for the support i have received, and the knowledge that i too, have helped others, then this journey would be so much harder....You hit the nail right on the head.

I think we all need a big pat on the back and a big group hug.. :grouphug:

Lisa - I've PM'd you...thanks heaps..

Sorry girls, just a quickie tonight. feel like I am crying with tears of joy and sadness reading posts tonight.

Nic - I don't know what more to say.My heart breaks for you and this horrific journey you are on. Sorry is just not good enough good enough given your losses.
I hoope your Dr's cn give some advice on where to go from here. If they have no answer then maybe consider a second opinion. Anything is worth a try when you want a baby so much. Be kind to yourself and let your DH take care of you

Jayne - At the opposite end of the scale - I am SOOOO happy for you girl. Clever, sneaky little one you are. Come and join your old friends in PAML as soon as you feel ready. Lots more chatting to do for another 8mths!!!

Nic ~ I don't know what to say. :hug:

I, among all the rest of the women in here are so sorry to hear you're upsetting news. I was so hoping that you had o'd later in your cycle etc...but only time will tell atm I suppose. Just like Meredith said, it's like a rollercoaster in here tonight and we have two situations on both ends of the spectrum. I can only hope and pray that you go onto have a H&H pg and that it's just too early to really see what's happening. My thoughts are with you at this time!

Jayne ~ Ahhhh, the old "I took this, I drank that, I did this..and now I'm pregnant!!!..... Don't worry Honey..you are totally fine! Flu tablets two weeks ago, not worth worrying yourself over! I was very, very drunk with Chantelle and she's fine (except this funny tick that she's got)...kidding...lol. Terrific news on the darker 2nd line...you're on your way to PAML...pack your bags the Ark is waiting!!!!!

Beccy

Hi girls

Shan, I can't blame you for being scared to get a test, but I hope that you do eventually HAVE to get a test because AF is not coming to visit you!!

Jayne, So glad that line is getting darker... YOUR PREGGERS!!!

Naomi :hugs: I hope the trial went well.

Michelle, i hope your appointment goes well today.

Lisa, so sad to have to say goodbye to the family home! I suppose it's agood thing to start afresh, with new memories... I hope they are all good ones :)
I hope the cramping is pregnancy related ;)

STILL spotting here!! :confused: Not sure what is going on! I am hoping today will be the last of it! Maybe I am a bit low in iron... I might go and buy some sups today I think!

I hope you are all well

Tanya
