Hello again everyone and "top of the morn'n to ya 'al" hehheheheh
Well I woke up from the best sleep after my totally relaxing day yesterday and saw some more silver linings in my dark cloud! In my heart I truly desire to have at least 12 months off work when I have my first bub... As it was I would have had 6 mths, than hubby was going to have a month off so we would have got 7 months solid looking after them before juggling grandparents looking after them while I go back to work 2-3 days a week.... In many ways we are blessed to be so flexible anyway and to even have 7 full months with bubs.... AND would have been totally blessed to even just 'have' them!!! Anyway the silver lining you ask?... Perhaps now I will get my 12 months (or more) with that little bit more time to save and perhaps bring in some extra $$$.
I am a true believer in actively creating my life and co-creating it with my hubby... Time and time again I see evidence of it and it blows me away... Then other times I see evidence of it showing up in ways I hadn't really expected just to find that when I had manifested it I hadn't been 'specific' enough! SO, I am going to do some meditating and clear visulisation of getting my period back in 4 weeks and ovulating 16 days later than 'hey presto' get pg, then give birth to healthy and happy twin boys in Feb 2010!!!! so that works out to be early May for the conception date.... If it does happen to take 6 weeks it'll be mid may... sallyk61 will you be strating to try again in May?
Ok so I might be stretching it a little bit with the twin boys We would like 3 children and had wanted a boy first and twins but I wasn't ever 'really' sure about the twins, I have a romantasised vision of one baby at a time so wasn't really sure but now I really would like the twin boys and I know hubby would... BUT then on the other hand I see so many adorable little girls so we don't really mind what we have! However I do need to visualise something and make the image clear, so it does need to be one or the other so it'll be twin boys!
Regardless of the outcome I know everything is perfect and this tradedgy in the midst of it must have happend for reasons I can see now and for MANY more that we will discover later and don't have a chance of knowing about right now either.... Girls my positivity may drive you all crazy at times so feel free to tell me to go away if you are in the midst being so disappointed that you just don't want to hear it... AND I pray I am not TTC for too long and have all my positive vibes slaped out of me with some harsh reality YICKES CANCEL CLEAR that comment! I will conveive in MAY!!! We will all conceive VERY VERY soon!!!!! heheheh I haven't seen many of these happy bounce little faces on this thread.
Toccara - Its great you have found a doctor you like and who will support you. I hope she helps you to get your sticky BFP real soon.
Abbey - Glad your feeling more positive. Hope the preseed helps.
sally - Its great you get to attend a ceremony to farewell your angel. I hope it brings you some closure .
greenslw - You have had a busy weekend! Goodluck with the new job.
cherished - Good on you for taking the time to pamper yourself . Glad your feeling so positive.
boble - Sorry AF showed , and with such bad timing. I hope she's not being too hard on you.
jen - cycle bud!
AFM - I've started the sertraline and am feeling pretty doped out. I'm in another kind of TWW, waiting for the side effects to stop. Thankfully they aren't too bad, just enough for me to feel sh**ty.
Good morning Ladies,
Had such a fun night last night. We had our 18 month nephew sleep over last night. Had a lovely picnic at the park for dinner, he loves watching the other kids!! Poor baby has a bad cold but our house has this calming effect on him (apparently their is a very old soul here and they must be very calming).. Poor thing was in a coughing fit at 12 last night then slept till 7:30!! He is such a good boy for us now. Just chilling drinkning milk and watching Mary Poppins now (he LOVES musicals!!).
Hannah - I am really looking forward to Thursday, so so nervous and know how tough it will be but so good too. i spoke to a lady at work who had a similar thing to me 16 years ago and she was such a mess talking to me last week. I felt so distressed, like how was I going to cope if 16 years later her wounds are so so raw still?
Ive now realised although we have had terrible luck, we had it in a time were help was expected to be taken and readily avaliable. even this ceremony shows how the views have changed so much!! That is a huge saving grace I guess!!!
Cherished - Hopefully I will get my cycle started very soon. Started Acupunture last wednesday so hopefully I'll have my period in 2 weeks or less.
It is so wonderful your so positive, you should run with it and never worry!! you sound a lot like my girlfriend!! I cant quite turn things but I get there in the end just takes me 10x longer then her!!!
I reckon well be mid to end of April. I think we worked out if we get preggers 1st time well have an early feb baby too. Perfect for us, I'll get the long school holidays paid then straight into being the best mummy ever!!
Greenslw - Good luck tomorrow. Im sure our mantra will work with that too!!!
well... im not sure what is going on with my body. AF seems to have gone MIA??? After last nights efforts, i woke up this morning and there has been no spotting (so far) and no AF in any way shape or form... i know i should be glad about this... but it scares the heck out of me because a similar thing happened last time I was preg.. and you all know how that ended up.
guess I will just wait it out and see what happens. I dont' know if I am for a bfp or for af to show up quickly so at least I have the "my cycles are shorter" silver lining *sigh* oh well... one or the other will happen soon enough and at this part of the game there isn't anything that i can do to sway it one way or another.
Sally - glad to hear you had a good night last night. he sounds like a cutie
Hannah - i hope the side effects ease up soon
Cherished - I love your positivity! i think we often need a bit of that in this thread, it kind of balances us out at times when we need some chucked in there, im sure everyone will agree - so don't you go anywhere... at least til you get your bfp in May
Jen - glad to hear FF is being good this month.
to everyone else i hope you all have had wonderful weekends xx
Hey all again,
Just thought I'd ask has anyone tried 'Maybe Baby', the thing you lick?
We used it and got pregnant first try we are going to use it again this time.
xxoo
kazaraz--I'm sorry to hear that you've been dx with PCOS. Best of luck with your BT's and DH's sperm analysis! Sorry, but not sure about your question about fertility meds increasing the chance of multiples--hope someone else can answer that question for you.
Shortcake--Happy Saturday! Hope you're enjoying your weekend, and aren't spending the whole time packing! *hugs*
Hannah--Hey, cycle bud! You got yourself a ticker! Sorry to hear the meds are making you feel doped out--at least you don't have some of the more profound side effects that some people get. I hope your body adjusts quickly, and you begin feeling like a new you soon! Big *hugs*
megsmum--Congrats on your (maybe) baby girl! Hope she behaves on Monday and gives you a clear shot for confirmation!
Milbindi--It is with heartache that I welcome you to our humble little thread. A m/c is so traumatic, and even with the most supportive partner, we are still left feeling so isolated.... how tragic that you were away on business and without a supportive hand to hold! You're in my thoughts and prayers!
Rhi--It takes a while to get back into the 'swing of things' as far as feeling the pleasure in TTC. The men are always ready and willing, where as we tend to feel like we're going through the motions for the specific purpose of getting pg. I remember I was waaaaaaay less inclined to be in the mood when it wasn't an opportune moment for conception. In my case, DF was patient with it for a while, but helped me realize how important it is to enjoy being with each other just for the enjoyment ofbeing with each other--without the added stress of 'making a baby', so to speak. Hope that everything works out with O today!
mollycat--You're standing on the edge of the gutter..... we're calling you.... "join us in the gutter.... it's much better here!" C'mon, you know you want to! If nothing else, at least out of morbid curiosity!
sally--I like that saying "fake it 'til you make it".... sounds a bit like my last year! I'm glad to hear that the kids made for an easy-going day for you on Fri, especially after your rough start. Kids have a knack for picking up on things like that.... like they can read your soul through your eyes!
I pray you find peace and closure at the ceremony for your angel on Thursday--it's a beautiful way to say goodbye. It will be tough, I'm sure, but I'm sure you'll be so grateful that you were able to do that--it's very honorable! *hugs*
How fun that you got to have a sleep-over with your nephew! I'm sure it wasn't only your home that had a calming effect on him, but all your love and attention that you showered upon him!
cherished--I'm glad to hear that the D&C went well, and you're not feeling much pain. Your positivity is inspiring--don't apologize for it! Keep it coming--we can ALL use a dose of some positivity in our lives! I also wanted to tell you ( a little late, I know!) that I don't think it's strange at all that you preferred the D&C over a natural m/c. In my case, I was having contractions every 1 min. while I was driving with my son in the back seat... to come home and 'deliver' my angel while on the toilet--alone, with DS in living room, and DF at work. It was only less painful than a full-term birth because of the size (8 wks.), but the contractions were just as painful as normal labor--without the joy of holding your baby in your arms at the end. It's horribly traumatic--not that a D&C isn't, because I've also had one of those--but it's.... less difficult than facing that feeling of having to flush your angel down the toilet. Well, that ended on a depressing note.... sorry! Maybe I should've said that bit here, NOW about your inspiring positivity! lol...
Sorry about that..... had to step away for a few.... continuing on....
Angels 1&2--You make me You sound just like me.... finding comfort in knowing that you're always right, with him just thinking that he is!
Oh, wait.... what's that I hear?.... Do you hear it, too? It's the gutter.... it's beckoning you! Come join us! LMAO!
boble--Not sure about the magnets.... but I'd be interested to know what you find out! Hmm... how weird for AF to go MIA so quickly! Hope things get worked out soon!
Mandy-- and of course you're welcome to join us! mollycat responded beautifully about what to write. Sometimes you may not feel like posting, but you may find comfort just from reading what other's are saying. Other times you may feel like no one else in the world understands what you're going thru, and you feel like you need to vent to those of us that 'get it'. And we won't just cluck our tongues and sympathetically shake our heads and feel uncomfortable because we don't know what to say the way those IRL tend to do. Just be yourself...
mrzbaby--Hope you found a new vehicle that you're happy with! How exciting--I love that new car smell!
erybery-- You're in my thoughts and
Argh.... have to go again for a few.... big for everyone! Always thinking of you all!
