Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ May 08 #2

[ElleJay]

Thanks Jen! I think I might just PIAC and then go to the post office and collect them (I had ordered them online and wasn't home when they came so I have to collect them from the post office) and hopefully get home to a
It's hard, because I've tested so much and seen sooooo many flashing back at me. I'm looking at some FF charts that are pregnancy charts, and the BFPs range from 8DPO to 13DPO to 18DPO so I guess I shouldn't give up yet.
It was stupid of me to test with a test that says 'Shouldn't be used until after 4 days before AF is due' and even if I did test with it, it needs to be FMU! Silly silly me!
It's nice to be able to talk to someone at this time Jen

[jen805]

LJ--I know, it's so hard seeing those BFN's! I saw 3 last month! On a lot of tests I don't think FMU is necessary, but you should feel better about using the one that says to wait until 4 days before AF--at least that's a good sign that it was just too early!!! So, what, it's like 3:30 am there, or what? D@mn girl! At least you have 3 days off to recuperate! Ok, gotta run with DF to do the rounds, he's on call this weekend. He works at a water/wastewater treatment plant, which lucky for us is only 1/2 a block away from home! Will be back soon! Hope you have sweet BFP dreams!

[ElleJay]

Jen - Nah, it's only 1:30am here - I'm glad I've got the three days off, but it'll be spent looking for a new place and planning the wedding and doing house chores, all of which I actually don't mind. As long as AF doesn't arrive in 3 days, I'm gonna be happy I'm looking at alot of charts that have had a BFN at 8,9 and 10DPO only for them to have a BFP on the 11DPO one, so Im hopeful a little still (also gotta be hopeful it's sticky if I am!)
My DF is a primary school teacher, and he's sick at the moment but he's got work today (Monday) so he's in bed resting up and I work in the Staff Cafeteria at the local casino - not bad money but alot of hard work.
I know all about the BFNs as well - I had one cycle where I started on the 22nd of November 2007 and I didn't get AF until the 28th of Feb 2008! In that cycle alone I spent $40 on HPTs because DF kept bugging me about being preggers because of being so late - I think I saw a grand total of 9 BFNs in that cycle *sighs*
Anyways, have fun doing the rounds with DF - Hope there's nothing majorly wrong with the water today!

Morning everyone

Well my cycle is still up to I don't know what. Still bleeding, I must say I don't enjoy AF once a month, this twice a month is just wrong. I spent yesterday in bed cuddled up under lots of blankets, the heater on, I just couldn't get warm at all, felt so ill and ended up sick last night, still don't feel so great and my temp flew back up this morning (hoping it's only cause i'm sick). It was lovely to see DH and DS's clean up the house yesterday afternoon cause I was too sick to, that doesnt happen very often without me directing.

Issy it gets very disheartening month after month when nothing seems to work, you know you BD at the right time, when I was trying for A it took me three years which was a total shock after falling on the pill with R, then knowing that we hadn't done anything to stop another pg, and it took 10 years for the last one. I hope you enoyed your treats, a little bit won't hurt you and if it makes you feel better, so be it.

LizJessie - hoping all works out for you

Jen hope you catch that eggy.

morning girls

issy- big big for you cycle buddy. totally know how you feel and it is a relief to know you are actually human- i was starting to think you had some kind of super powers with your massive strength and positivity! don't get me wrong, it is great that you can be upbeat most of the time, but don't feel down on yourself for having down days too. i was like that all last week so didn't post much, just hid out in my little black hole. but all of a sudden you wake up again and the sun is shining and good things happen and you realise life is good and there is plenty to smile about. i'm sure you will get there again too, just let yourself feel and get it all out. every cycle we go through we are one step closer to getting our BFP's and i'm glad we can go through those cycles together. once again a big big for you.

AJC- i am on the nature's own b6 too- i really hope it helps me as much as it has helped you! are you going to keep taking now that you are preg?

plc and angel babies- a belated happy birthday wish, hope you both had great days

mollycat- can't believe you have had to go through two AF's in one month- extra big for you

i'm running late for work now, to everyone else big big hope you are all well

[Vanaithi]

Congrats Ajc!!!

[jen805]

LJ--So is it working at the casino that made you a poker junkie? lol... I checked out your public profile and you happened to mention poker a time or two, or four! Wow, that was a really long cycle you had back in Nov.--was it the first cycle after your m/c? That's crazy long... All's good on the water front, although we took the kids down to the aquatic center and he did get called out... but nothing major, and all's good now! So when do you think you'll test?


nickster! Always good to hear from you. How's that sticky little bub treating you?


mollycat--Did you get to the dr's today? Oh, it's probably still a little early there, isn't it? Hope you figure out what's up, hun! In my mind you're still my cycle buddy b'cuz I just like the sound of it! Hope you're feeling a little better today than yesterday. So sweet of your DS's and DH to clean up for you--especially without being told! Good guys you got there!


plc--No, No, No, you won't be looking for those 2 pink lines any time again soon! I'm so excited for you to see that strong tomorrow!! Are you keeping your mind occupied, or driving yourself crazy? It's gonna be great, you'll see! I knew you were pg, and I know you'll be giving us great news tomorrow after your scan! I'm so excited for you!


issy--Hope you're cheering up, love!


pbstar--Hope the B6 works it's charms for you! Is that to lengthen your LP? Or is there some other benefit to taking it, as well? I've heard lots of talk about it, so now I'm definitely curious! Hope you have a great day at work! It's still Sunday here, and I'm NOT looking forward to tomorrow!


Emmy-Lou--Just realized after checking the TWW thread that I didn't list you under the preggie section! I'm so sorry, it's been fixed and won't happen again! Hope things are going great with you!


AFM, still not sure if I've O'ed yet... no noticeable change in my CM, so I'm kinda guessing not yet. Although would've thought by now that I would have since I'm CD19. I did have some very light cramps yesterday and the day before, but aren't you supposed to feel it more on one side or the other, and not through your whole belly? I was also very irritable yesterday--does anyone else get irritable when O'ing, or near O?

Saw like 3 pg women at the pool today, all looking extremely uncomfortable and waddling... couldn't keep my eyes of their bellies! The people there probably thought I was a pervert or a lesbian!

Morning ladies

LJ - sorry about BFN, but it may just be too early yet.

mollycat - af is a cow, sorry you've had to endure her earlier than expected. Hope you get some answers. Glad DH & DS have been looking after you though.

nickster & vanaithi - thanks for the congrats.

jen - I know what you mean about the preggie bellies, I find I stare more at pregnant women than I do at babies!

issy - sorry you were having a down day. The rocky road & wine sounds like just the thing to help ease your pain - don't feel guilty about indulging!!! I hope and pray that you have your two pink lines very soon and a bouncing healthy bubba for your DS to play with.

afm - still just trying to be cool, calm & collected. Going for BT on Wed so fingers crossed I get good hcg levels. Still doesn't feel real.

Hugs and babydust to all!!!

[AJC]

pbstar - yes am still taking b6 for the moment. Will talk to ob about it when I see him next, hopefully in about 2 weeks.

Cngratulations AJC, and Canary! Woo hoo, thats wonderful girls, so happy for you both...

AFM, AF arrived at DAY 39! i was so over it by the end, stopped testing on CD 35, as i couldnt bear another bfn...

well, back on the bandwagon again...looks like im going to be in Syd and away rfrom DH right on O time, so there goes another month...im so over this...its been over 5 months since the MC, and i so desperately wanted to be pg on my edd, but im not sure it looks like thats going to happen...sorry for the dampener, but i just needed to release my frustration! off to make the appt with the accupuncturist (thanks plc)....
