Thank you all for the welcome.

Thanks again...

Bons- So is Dh home at the moment for the big O?? Hope so!

Damprye- sorry to hear ur results werent wat u were after.. I guess now atleast u know the spotting was just ur body trying to sort itself out. I hope ur next cycle is normal.

Matthews mum- Thinking of u!! Ur almost there! Feeling any different yet??

Possum (if ur lurking)- Ur story sounds almost exactly like kits! So happy that u have a snuggled up little bub inside u.. sorry to hear u loss a twin tho. I hope the rest of ur pregnancy runs smoothly.

Forshelby- It sure does as tho u had ur timing spot on! Lets hope its our month!

Kellbell- About 6 days til i lay my egg! Yay!! Im going to start opks in about 3 days i think.. hopefully they tell me the truth! Dh is home tomoro for 9 days so im sure he will be wanting to bd everyday anyway.. lets hope his swimmers are up to it!! Are u using opks?? sorry i cant remember. U will have to let me know how ur temping goes.. it seems like a lot of hassle.. but i may just have to start doing it one of these days too!

Iona- We are basically cycle buddies too! Yay! its going to be very quiet in here next week!

Dory- Lovely seeing ur name pop up as usual i cant believe how far along u are! u are so close to being there its not funny!

Sara- Welcome xxx Dont be shy!! Trust me thats nothing compared to some of the questions we ask eachother!! After my m/c in feb i wanted to start trying straight away.. my annoying body didnt let me tho... my hormones were all over the place.. only just sorted them now.. i think. Just do what u feel is right. Good luck x

AFM- Dh is home tomoro.. Woohoo! So the bd bonanza begins in this household too! I cant wait to start using opks.. i have to wait another couple days cos clomid can give false positives. Like i said to kellbell.. i hope the opks dont lie to me! They havent worked for me in the past.. but hey my body hasnt worked for me in the past! Lets hope this month is different!

Nite nite all xxx

[Iona Macca]

woo hoo reet another cycle buddy

[kellbell]

Been trying to temp but still waiting my for thermometer - been using my DD's baby thermometer.
i have put it right next to my bed so i take it as soon as i wake up. My DP has looked at me half asleep wondering what im doing but he hasnt asked yet
I have some opk's still left from last month will start using them next week my cycles have been long so dont want to start them too early. Silly body better not lay my egg early lol im counting on the end of next week.
i don't like the opks so when i run out not going to use them anymore i always seem to miss the surge just get the faint lines then nothing
My DP wasnt in the mood last night hopefully tonight let the bonanza begin!!!!!

Hi Lovely Ladies
Well Ive been trying to catch up - seems a lot has been happening.

Iona and Damprye ~ So sorry your pregnancies didnt end up being viable
Good luck to you both - keep trying ladies!

Murraycod ~ Im so very Yay. All the best for the next 9months!

Sara ~ Im sorry for your loss and welcome. I had my very early m/c in Feb and my body is still trying to get back to normal - im currently at CD44 and still no AF but not pg. Hope that doesnt seem cruel in telling you that, as I know what its like you just want to get pg again but unfortunately our bodies just need a bit of time. Mind you that didnt stop DH and I from DTD - you still need to live normally and give everything you've got. Good luck! Hope you get into the pg threads very soon.

AFM ~ Things are starting to finally look up for us, we've sold our tractor! So may be able to do another IVF earlier than October afterall. Also just found out im going to be an aunty again - which Im very excited about. My (34 y.o.) sis is 9weeks with their 1st. Im just so happy they havent had the same issues as us. Im still not going to track my cycles for a while and just live normally for a bit - try not to stess - see if I can anyway

Hi everyone and wishing you all the very best!

[Reet]

Loops- Lovely to see u in here! I had a smile on my face while reading ur post.. one second ur saying u are on cd 44 and then next ur saying u are trying not to track ur cycle.. hahaha.. ur exactly like me!! I m always saying I am going to just let things happen and relax a bit.. but it never happens.. i still count everyday!! Isnt it frustrating!
Have u been to doctor to get progesterone levels check.. i had to do that.. they cld then tell me if my af was on its way or if my body was just way of whack. Or maybe u can do what u said u want to.. and try and forget about it for a while!
Good luck x

Hi all!

Thank you for you kind words of encouragement and sharing your own experiences with me

I am still quite up and down with my decision but I am more leaning towards waiting until I have finished Uni.

I have a few oversea's opportunites coming up next year which Baby would have been well and truely born for so I think its probably best that I wait.

In saying that...you could see me back in here. I'm just going to let fate take its course.

Thanks again for all your support. Its really helped.

Wishing you happy and healthy journies to land!

Take care!

Reet ~ LOL, I kinda meant once I start on my next cycle. I was already waiting a long time for AF so I know where I am now and am hanging out wanting AF to come and then I'll forgot about it , well try anyway :P Thanks for the idea about the P4 check though, I never knew you could do that. Although I feel she is just round the corner now as I have sore bbs, mucous and slightly achey. Hoping by Sunday.
Good luck with your cycle this month, FX!

Sara ~ Good luck with everything, the universe will decide for you as I believe everything happens for a reason. All the best x

[dory]

Loops - welcome back... good to hear about the tractor!!!! What a drawn out process its been.... that does mean $$ for IVF - yeah!

Reet - enjoy the weekend....

Bons - is your boy home for the weekend too?

Sara - welcome and goodbye and I am sorry about your angel. The shortest I have waited is one cycle ( well did sneak in a sneaky BD...) and the longest I have waited is 3 cycles. The time frame was to give myself and DH time to heal physically and emotionally. You'll know what's right. Don't put pressure on yourself about it, you'll know.

Forshelby - so this month I can call you Emu? Hope the different strategy works..

AFM - well the "do" is a colour and foils...... it's come out a little too red toned for me, rather than brown. Oh well it will fade. I didn't get a cut, I was too exhausted after the colour etc. But will go back for a trim soon. Rushed one of the fur babies to the vet this morning as he was vomitting most of yesterday and then through the night. All good since the vets and all he got was some fluids and a recommendation to fast. Seems like he just had a tummy upset. It's nice he seems to be feeling well again, and even had a great cuddle with me this arvo.

Have a god weekend

[damprye]

Dory- I'm glad your furbaby is doing better. It is always a scare when we don't know what is wrong with our lil ones.

Loops- Horay abput the trailor.

Sara- I hope things improve and you get your baby at the right time

Reet- I know I can't help but constantly think about TTC lol.

Kellie- using DD's thermometer is fine. I used DS's until I could get my BBT one

Baby dust to yoy all

AFM- According to FF it is time to start the BD bonanza but by the looks of it I wont get to DTD until at least Sunday if at all during my fertile window. I hope FF is wrong and that O day is a little further on. I have been using OPKs for the past three days (they're even more addictive than HPTs lol) and so far coming up negative but a second line is there. I hope they help pinpoint my O even better and that the timing does work out

[forshelby]

Hi Ladies! I've been MIA for one day, and here we are in a new thread. We decided to go out last night to check out the night markets in surfers, it was actually really good! DP bought me a lovely candle which looks like a ****tail in a fancy glass. Love it! Every stall he would say 'do you want one?' I am spoilt! Ok on to persies..

Iona - Ooh, freaky coincidence, I just dyed my hair a reddish colour. It was a little too red for my liking but it's fading to a nice colour. Glad you had a good time at the hairdressers, though you're brave for letting the apprentices at you... lol. I wouldn't be that brave! Good to see you're staying strong after your early mc. You're amazing, girlie!

Sara - Welcome, and goodbye sadly. I missed you! Hope you're still lurking though. To answer your question, the right time is when you feel ready. You'll know. I waited just over two years, but that wasn't my choice. I did it out of respect for DP. He was not the fathering type, and freaked out when I got pg the first time. A lot has changed in 2 years. Good luck with Uni, and we hope to see you back in here soon!

Kellie - Hehe, yeah FX I don't need a thermometer at all! Unless it's a baby thermometer. I was giong to get some more OPKs today but thought I would wait until AF is due so I don't waste all that money. I'm feeling optimistic!

Reet - I'm quietly confident. But I'm sure I'll get louder as af or BFP hopefully approaches. There's no reason I can't fall pg quickly, my body is well behaved. I'm sending 'well behaving body' vibes your way. Have fun with the OPKs, and the bd bonanza! You're so lucky your DH is so up for it..... I'm insanely jealous lol. How is the clomid going for you? Any horrible side effects? You seem well, which is great.

Loops - Good to see you again! Congrats on being an aunty, I must say it's the greatest joy I've ever known, to have nieces and nephews. Yay for the tractor sale, too! Keep us posted on when you go for IVF.

Dory - lol, yep, you can call me emu. Or maybe ostrich? So far so good, the plan seems to be working and I haven't gone too crazy yet! DP has been wonderful, getting all clucky with me over babies and small children we see when we're out and about. This might sound stupid too, but my monthly horoscope said something about 'change will be forced on July 7'. That's when af is due! Our anniversary is the day before, so it would be lovely to give him the gift of a peed on stick. LOL How's bubby going? Kicking your insides to smitherines, I hope. I'm so glad your furbaby is feeling better, it's so worrying when they aren't well. I think we're all very attached to our furbabies.... how could we not, with those adorable little faces.

Damprye - Is everything ok with DP now? Hope your O day co-incides nicely with some bd. good luck!

AFM, I'm on a deadline again, DP wants to go out for some more manly shopping/browsing. Lol.. love him. In short, cm came back with a VENGEANCE yesterday, (2dpo) but I'm trying not to read too much into that. I was dry for about a day, but not like last month. I guess every month is different. Nothing else very exciting to report.... just hanging in there waiting for the end of the TWW. I'll probably remember more I wanted to post while we're out and about so I'll probably be back later to update.

Have a great weekend everyone!!!!

[Ilithyia]

Hehehe - Yep I'm still lurking!

Still in a battle with my head, my heart and my body though.

I think its because I have nothing to keep me busy. I'm on Uni break now and I don't go back to my Girls until next week.

So I think I just have to put up with the ups and downs till then!

Thanks again for all your support!

[kellbell]

Gotta rush today so will do a selfish post will come back after work tonight and catch up with everyone else

I have gotta work the next three days cant see much action happening here! though did get some "sausage sizzle" this morning so guess the bonanza will have to wait till after the weekend should time in okay as only day 9 so Monday will be day 11

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!!!!!!

[Ilithyia]

.....though did get some "sausage sizzle" this morning......

You know your back in the TTC forums when we relate sausage sizzling to BD!!!!

Have a great weekend Kellie!

I hope you girls don't mine me poppin in and out like this....

[damprye]

It has been 10weeks since I lost my angel and it has taken this long to bring myself to stop my weekly update emails. I think I can finally begin to cope again.

[Iona Macca]

damprye - hugs sweety, it's another step closer

forshelby - oh the surfers nite markets haven't been to them in years hmmm mite have to plan to do that one soon. I don't mind the apprentices doing it - been going there for 5yrs and do their books so have seen a lot of the young ones turn into seniors and at least they know I can correct them with things even tho I'm not a hairdresser I could prob do it myself with the amount of training I've seen these girls go thru lol

sara - of course you can lurk in and out hehehe we don't mind at all

kell - let the bonanza start - we are starting tonite cd8 and dtd every 2nd until cd12....seems to be dragging

AFM: went to a party lite party (candles galore) this arvo....first question mark asked me when I got home was how much did I spend - I replied $122....he said I'm not allowed to go to anymore parties, as I can't help myself hehehe oh well all for a good cause (to make my house smell yummy). Well the bd bonanza will be starting tonite and OMG I reckon taking the vit b6 has increased my CM (TMI WARNING!!! I swear at times today I had that feeling when AF is here you can feel it so I was always checking)

[trea]

Oh geez I just lost another huge post arghhh!! Anyway typing really quickly and can't go back to check where everyone is at so I'm so sorry if I have misread or miss anyone. hi to all.

MCod - Awesome news on the scan - go little baby go!!

Mathews Mum - GL in the TWW.

CM9 - sorry you didnt get the better news at your appointment. Hang in there and make the most of your brood.

Snbeam - congrats on your BFP!!

Saffy - glad the counselling is helping.

Porsche - GL with your cycle this month.

Iona - so sorry to hear about your chem - they suck you in and get your hopes up and then dash them so quickly. Take time to heal.

I can't risk going back to check the others so to those for whom this month was not yours here's to July being the one.

AFM - found out Monday we got our miracle BFP!! Had a scare Friday with a drop in prog but then it shot through the roof so they think it was a lab error. Anyway just enjoying it for what it is as we have never ever gotten this far.

Cheers Trea
