How are the rest of you lovely ladies doing?
Wow its quiet again in here!! Ihope everyone is bding lots so we see lots of BFPs. :crossfingers:
Bel, I hope that this cycle will bringyou a BFP and you and your 2 friends can share the pregnancy journey all together.:)
Hiya Ladies,
Sorry I have been MIA in the last couple of days, it's really weird to explain, I feel like I'm in a bit of a rut and I didn't want to take any of the glory and sunshine away from Michelle IYKWIM. I wanted the focus to be on her BFP and good vibes all round. I hope everybody understands.
Michelle - How did your latest BT go? I'm so thrilled for you. Is it secret squirrel stuff from the rest of your family? How exciting. Are you going to find out the sex of bubs? You have a boy and a girl already so are there any special requests on another boy or girl? I have zillions of questions so I'll pace myself! LOL.
Bel - Yeah, I have settled down from my splurge. In one day I bought six million Lindt chockies, 2 hand bags, 1 wallet, 2 pairs of shoes and a whole pile of tops. Not to mention the souvenirs I got from the Aquarium. I feel quite content with my purchases and as though I've got a bit of my groove back. I've dropped 5kg so I'm noticing the diff in my clothes and looking at smaller sizes which is AWESOME and I feel a bit stylish atm. I have had my hair cut & coloured, nice clothes & shoes and been getting into my makeup again. I always feel nice in myself when I have nice things. I hope that doesn't make me out to be a toffy-nosed cow, I'm quite the opposite, but what girl doesn't like nice things?
Kazz - Thanks for asking about me. How are your two little bumble-bee's going? I can't believe how quickly Declan's ticker is firing along. It's amazing. I'm feeling a little better, just felt a bit down & out, you know, having this wonderful trip & coming home to the usual ritual and routine that is life.
ShellStar - Good luck with the Lindt Cafe. It's truly a nice experience. Just try & get a seat outside cos they cram you inside like sardines. The cafe kinda is hard to notice, I expected a red & gold building, like the chocolate box (trust me, I know what they look like LOL), but it's silver & the sign just says 'Lindt & Sprugli' or whatever the last word is. I wish I had of known you come into the city & I would have organised to see you & steal Hayleigh!
Nola - Wow, your ticker is zooming by. You'll have the belly to boot in no time @ all!!!
Fairymum - I was never addicted to the fertility-watching until I met these girls. It's truly catching. I just do the temp thingy & also the OPK's when I *think* it's about time. I like the idea of every 2nd night & I bet my DH would too, but in all honestly, I couldn't be bothered!!! [/COLOR]
ME - Well, I have had a bit of a dummy spit this week. It's just hard coming back from a holiday that you've longed for for absolutely ages & in the blink of an eye it's been and gone & you're back @ home as though nothing has happened. Then to top it off I haven't ovulated and my temp has been going absolutely insane. I'm freezing one minute and roasting the next. It's so weird. I just feel out of sorts and my patience is frazzled. I AM feeling better, just still a bit down. Thanks for listening!
Good night all.
Jayne
Me too !!!! Let's all move to PAML and confuse them all there too:p:
Jayne you should have said what was upsetting you :hug:
My last BT was fine levels are now at 379 which the Dr said was a good rise.
Not sure what you mean by this Is it secret squirrel stuff from the rest of your family?
If you mean are we not going to tell our families then no we are not. We will wait until after the 12wks scan just to be sure everything is still going okay.
I know DH's family was thinking of coming for Christmas and we both know as soon as they are told they will want to change thier plans but that is not going to happen this time. MIL came just after i had Alex and i ended up looking after everyone even with just have a c-section two weeks before.
I don't really care what the sex of the baby is.
Next set of questions :)
Hey Michelle,
That's fantastic about the levels rising. How cool. I wonder if you'll have a Little Aussie Baby & deliver on 26 Jan! How cool is that. My birthday ALWAYS falls around the Queen's Birthday long weekend in WA & I always say the long weekend is dedicated to ME! LOL.
Yeah, I meant are you telling any of your family about the bubby in your belly? I think it's very clever thinking not telling them so they don't come over. I know what you mean about looking after everybody else when you are home from hospital with a newborn. It's tough work, people should realise but for some reason they never do. The must just be awestruck with a bub and forget everything else around them.
What names are you thinking of? I have so many names that I'll need 6 more children to fit them all in! LOL. Have you seen those baby hammocks from Baby on a Budget? They are fabulous. I want one. I'm trying to get my gf to buy one but she has already bought all her baby stuff. I sooooooooo will be getting one when I have another one.
Have you had any morning sickness yet?
LOVE JAYNE
Hiddy ho girlies,
How is all of your weekends going???
DH is out modifying his first love (the car) with a sports kit, im the one who mainly drives it, so now im going to look like this rev head chic, oh well he loves his ford, what can i do.
Jayne, Matey sorry that you have been feeling down, but i do know where you are coming from after your holiday, i always feel like that, we have decided not to go to the city this arvo as its very dark like its going to pi$$ down!, Good on you for making yourself feel better about yourself, i think thats the one thing that kinda went when i finished work and became a full time mum, i have also been trying to feel better about myself aswell.
Michelle, so great that your levels are rising, im sure this one is going to be a sticka!!!
Michelle71, hey its up to you and i now to get over to the ark to keep the Michelle's together!!
Candi, about your theory, im going to put that into place next month if i can, every second day of the whole dam cycle. i must catch the eggy next cycle cause this is becoming ridiculous!!!!
Belinda, I am happy for you that AF has returned so quickly, now you can get on with things and TTC again.
Tanya, Is the engagment party tonight?? if so goodluck, i hope you end up having a lovely time. or had a lovley time if its already been & gone.
ME.....well no news to report, just waiting for AF to show, from my calculations she should arrive on wednesday, i highly doubt she will be late or i highly doubt she will leave me with a BFP, so im not overly confident, just want her to come so i can get on with a fresh new cycle, think next cycle i will start taking vitex as my cycles since m/c have been quiet irregular, has anyone else used it before? i willl give anything a go!!! ......in reason.
Have a great saturday night girls.
Hey Girls...
Yes I know...where have i been???Well my Nanna had an op last week and was supposed to be having a Hysteroscopy and D&C but they accidentaly put a small hole in her uterus,so they didn't do the proceedure and we were at the hospital from 11.30 till 7 pm. needless to say she is ok and has to heal for 4 weeks before she has to go for the proceedure all over again...She took a while to get over the anaesthetic and she also has artritis in her spine and can't get around much,so i have been busy with her.
At nights i just collapse in a heap!! But now DH has just started 5 weeks holidays so I will be able to spend more time with you girls, trying to support you like you have me in the past...
Michelle...You little rippa!! I am so excited for you!! I know you have been trying so hard and now it all seems to have paid off...well done! I am sure things will be fab..levels are great and you will be fat before you know it!!!Hope the next 8 months go quickly and you have a trouble free pg...
Nola..Well how are you feeling chicken?? Aunty Jan is here, every step of the way..waiting patiently for the first piccy..OOOh I am so excited!! Give my little neice/nephew a belly rub..xx
Kazz...how is declan going??Seems to begrowing so fast..like you blink and they are not babies anymore...
Will pop back later on an chat..
Jan xx
Hey there all,
Jayne: I havent heard of the Baby Hammocks, but if you would like to buy one for me I would appreciate one....(only joking) but would love to know where I may be able to get one, they sound fab. great to see you have settled back home after your wonderful time away. Now it will be getting back into the bding and babymaking routine yeah!!
Shell: I do hope that AF gives you a wonderful surprise and decides to stay away for at least 9mths. Hope this post finds you well.
Aunty Jan: How are you my dear friend. I was just thinking of you and chatting with Kazz on msn when i pop on here and there you are. How are you? I am doing well, the M/s or should i say adms (all day m/s) has hit well. As I said to Dh the other night I have never been so happy to be so sick. Other than that I have a sore throat (pharingitis) and my Asthma is playing up a little but all under control, and after having a wonderful sleep last night i am feeling much better this morning. I am drinking lemonade like it is going out of fashion as it is at the moment the only thing stopping me from being sick. I send Michael down the street last night to get me some Gingernut biccies but they were horrible and I just put them in the cupboard. Must say they did help though. I have given bub a rub for you and sent a smile along with it.
I so hope you are well and Just love hearing from you. I have started a Journal on one of the other threads if you are at all interested in keeping up with my day to day pg journey. Thanks a gain for all your wonderful Love and support and :crying: :crying: I just wish i was truly sharing this experience with you :crying: :crying:
Tamara: i know that you drop in from time to time so just sending you a big hello and a sprinkling of baby dust......I have a feeling it is not far away for you at all.....hang on tight.
enough from me for the min....going over to my mums for dinner this evening so have the night of cooking.....thank goodness. Will chat with you all again in the next couple of days....Love heaps Nola xxx
Jan, its so good to see you back. I hope everything is going well with your nanna. Declan is going really well thank you. It is amazing they aren't little babies for long. He is now in 00 clothing. Its sarying to think only a few weeks ago he was in 0000 and 000 clothing.
Jayne, :hug: to you. It is hard coming home from a lovely holiday then bam hit with reality (so to speak) and back to your normal life. Hopefully you have ovulate matey and your body is just playing tricks on you. Please know if you ever need tochat I am here for you.
Shell, I still have everything crossed for you matey. I really hope AF stays away and you do get that BFP. Nola and Michelle need some more company to board the ark. I have a feeling you and Michelle 71 will be the next to board the ark. :)
Hello to everyone else. :bluedust:
Jayne - Only have a girls name at the moment which is Eleanor. The only boy name we seem to like is Sebastian. DH wants a nice long name like the other two have.
I've never been into baby Co but i am sure i will go out looking one day soon :) Waiting until i get passed 12wks to go looking and buying.
Shell - Keeping my fingers crossed that AF doesn't arrive for you.
Hi Girls
Jayne, I hope your body settles down very soon. It can be so frustrating being irregular, and having temps like you describe can't be any fun! I hope you are feeling a little better :hug:
Belinda, I am glad the m/c hasn't taken too much of a toll on your body and you are 'back to normal'... I hope you are doing ok
Shell, I hope your feelings are wrong and you do get a BFP!! How's DH car mods going?
Jan, I hope you Nan recovers with no trouble! I remember spending lots of time at the Hospital when my brother was ill.... it can be absolutely draining, mentally, physically and emotionally!
Nola, I hope your dinner was nice :)
Michelle, how are you? Any symptoms?
Me, EWCM this morning and my right ovary is a bit sore so I really think O will be soon.... in the next few days I hope! I am sure I had more to write than that, biut can't remember... Oh well an excuse to come back later when I think of it ;)
Tanya
Hi guys
My name is Naomi and i have had 2 m/c, one was 16th Jan this year at approx 6-7wks (unknown pg), Rick and I decided to move our ttc date up since the m/c, so we are currently trying.
I had a trying week this week. Af was late, and i got 2 x + on hpts on Monday, got a BT on tuesday, just to be screwed around and not get results til Friday, then to be confused by it to have another BT friday and got the results yesterday, both came up BFN, then AF arrived today. Im ok about it but now im thinking that i could have m/c again (i got to cd45).
So now Rick and I want to use opk's to predict ovualtion to avoid pg (well try to) for just a couple of cycles, just to see what my body is up to, we both couldnt handle another m/c.
Thank you, look forward to getting to know you all
Hello girls, how is everyone?? I am pretty relaxed and good. This holiday has been a heaven sent!!! My temps are looking great after our naughty weekend away. In fact, they keep rising.
I have been going to the toilet at least 15+ times a day now so Alan seems to think something isn't right... I don't want to get my hopes up... I mean we aren't supposed to be trying... does that make sense???
Will keep you girls updated.
Naomi welcome to a lovely group of ladies. Hope your TTC journey will be a short one when you start TTC again and that everything works out well for you.
Tanya i have no pg symptoms at all other than feeling tired at night. I get the odd twinge but not as much as i was last week.
Thank you Michelle
Ok with OPK's how do they work per say? like when would we start using them? what day? what time? and how long do i use them for? meaining start cd14 and use them until i get a +? or not?
Ive never used an opk before so i have no idea on how to use one? do i have to take temps aswell?
It depends on how long your cycle is to when you start to use them but as yours are all over the place i would start using them from CD14. As you don't want to fall pg just yet once you get a dark second line stay away from DTD. As once that line shows up you are due to O in the next 24-48hours.
Depends on were you are buying your tests they should have a good instruction book with it and a list of dates when to start using them.
They say use them between 10am and 10pm. I always did mine around 2pm and made sure i had nothing to drink for a least 2hours before.
ok so if i start using them from cd14 and say get a dark second line on cd15 when can we be safe do dtd again like 4-5days later?
I thought that if i got info from here about it im more likely to understand the information they supply with the tests iykwim
4-5 days later should be okay to DTD again after you get a dark + line.
Hi Girls,
Hope you are all having a lovely sunday,
well im about to succumb to the dreaded HPT, the pressure is far too strong and when its sitting in the cupboard staring at me..... i have started to notice today that my (.)(.) are feeling a bit fuller, but thats nothing new for me near AF time,
Will come back on a little later and do personals and let you know my result, which im 99% sure will be a BFN, but i have too know either way!
Welcome Naomi, hope your stay with us is short & sweet!!!
See you all later!
Shell
OH Shell, I am waiting waiting waiting......Please bring on a BFP....What a way to start the week....GOOD LUCK !!
Tamara & Shell - hoping like mad for you guys' success this month!
Well Shell what did the HPT say ??
Yes please Shell, what did the HPT say...???
Sorry girls, BFN, but i did expect it so not overly down about it will now wait until Thursday before i test again, that is if AF has not arrived.
Tamara, it looks like its up to you now to give us the next BFP!!!!!! im so :pray: for you!!
:pray: that AF won't show up for you Shell and that it was still too soon to test.
Evening girls!! Just popping in to say hi - I have other *duties* that need to be attended to tonight :p Very excited - lots of wet CM (sorry if TMI) but I have been so worried about it. There has been none up until today and this is the second month on clomid so it has been a worry (one of the *lovely* side effects that can happen). My acupuncturist did some work on that last week due to me waking at 5am in a lather of sweat (another charming side effect) so she was trying to increase the moisture creation and it looks like it has worked!!
Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend and I'll get back to doing personals soon.
Bummer Shell, hope that was just too early.
Michelle - you go get busy missy!
Keen, Great to see you poping in. Hope you are well. Look forward to chatting soon.
Love and hugs coming your way.
Hello everyone,
Shell, I am so sorry it was a BFN matey. :( Hopefully it still was a bit too early. :crossfingers: Thinking of you.
Naomi, welcome. I know wyou will recieve loads of support here. I wish you all the best when you and Rick decide to TTC again, that it will be a short and sweet journey.
Tamara, sounding very promising. I really have everything crossed for you.
Tanya, yay for Oing soon. I hope Wato allows you to try this month and you do end up getting a BFP.
Jan, how's your nan going today??
Jayne, how are you hun?? I hope you are doing well today. :hug:
Hello to everyone else.
Oh Shell, I am sorry toots!!
LOL - don't rely on me!! I can't even do that.
Hi Everyone,
Gee, its really quiet in here today, Nothing new to report today, have a horrible cold that's giving me the pip's as i can't sleep properly hopefully i will sleep better tonight, but i highly doubt it as im feeling worse today,
Will check back in later to see if anyone has any news, off to cook monday's specialty "spag bol".
See ya
Shell
Hello Lovely Ladies,
Shell - So sorry about the BFN sweetpea. You are exactly like me. I don't keep any HPT's in the house anymore because I'm a compulsive POAS-er. Even if I KNOW it's going to be a BFN I just have the URGE to do it. Lets hope it is still early.
Naomi - Welcome to our little group of gorgeous women all working towards the same goal. GL with the OPK's. Lets hope you will have a little bundle waiting at the end of the rainbow for you.
Michelle - I was thinking about you yesterday and how you like long names. What about Gabrielle for a girl? I love that name. I love Johnathon for a boy too. Just leave it to me and I'll choose your names for you! LOL.
Kazz - How are you Petal? Are you getting some gorgeous smiles from Declan?
Nola - I laughed when I read your post telling your Doctor you've never been so happy to feel so sick! I can just imagine you saying that. It's true though. Do you have any inkling to having a little boy or girl inside your belly? Your first scan must be coming up soon is it?
Tamara - I agree, you are one Chirpy Chicken since your weekend away, must have been just what the Doctor ordered for you & Alan. Lets hope it did the trick!!!
Michelle71 - Good luck with the bdfest. I bet your DH is loving this time of the month! LOL.
Tanya - Lets hope it's O time for Show Time!!!!
Me - Well, I'm on CD39, my chart is still showing no ovulation & I didn't get any + OPK's so I'm just waiting for AF to rock up. My first weigh in after my hols was scary but I lost 0.5kg so that takes my total loss to 5.5kg now. I'm pretty happy with that. This morning I put Jessica in the creche at the swimming pools and swam some laps with my sister which was great fun until I heard on the PA 'Can Jayne Shirra please return to the creche'. I just followed the wailing to get me back to Jess. Poor little munchkin. That was the first time she's ever been left in a creche or a day care or anything. She's only ever stayed with family. I'm going to try again on Thursday and try and give it two weeks and see if she improves. At least I got 45 mins of swimming in. I wish I had a HPT to do, I have been getting up during the night to pee & my bb's feel a bit more *meaty* (sorry for the expression, but it's the only way to describe it) & my nipples are quite sore. I know I'm not pg, but I just want to see if on the HPT so I can regroup and focus for the next cycle IYKWIM. Also, I have noticed in my chart that I only seem to ovulate every second month. How strange.
Big Hi's to anybody I may have missed.
Love Jayne
Jayne hope you have fun coming up with nice long names for us. I like both of those names but DH is soooo fussy when it comes to names.
Well done on the weight loss so far.
At least you got some swimming in.
I know i have aksed before but what part of Perth are you ? My mind has gone blank and i am sure you have said before. If i remember you are SOR.
Awww Shell, you poor thing. I hope you start to feel better soon and you get a better nights sleep tonight. Have some hot chicken soup.
Jayne, I am doing well thank you and yep Declan is giving me lots of cute smiles. :) Bummer it loks like you have had annvulatory cycle this time. Hoepfully it is just your body playing tricks on you. :crossfingers:
Hi Michelle,
I'm in Waikiki, which is Rockingham way but we prefer to say Waikiki as Rockingham doesn't have the best name!! LOL.
Shell - Hope you're feeling better soon chicken!
Sometimes you girls can get so busy...lol.. I am behind again!!
Kazz... Thanks for asking about my Nanna, she has recovered well and is now getting anxious about when she will have to go back again! 1 because she want to get it over with and find out if all is well and 2 because she is worried they will stuff up again and 3 she worries about me taking time from home to run around after her!!! She has too much time on her hands sometimes!! Wow Declan sure is growing...before you know it he will be mobile... and that's when the fun begins!!
Nola... Hope the m/s is treating you bad IYKWIM!!Treacle seems to be giving you a taste of what's to come...sleepless nights, feeling yuk...don't ya just love it??? well done for the 8 week milestone, i really know how much this means to you and how estatic you must be right now....hold on tight cause it's only gonna get better..the stuff dreams are made of...xxxxooo
Michelle... bet you can't wait for that u/s! Not long and you will see your precious bundle! Can't wait to hear the results...
Jayne...Hope your body is just being stupid and you did o after all...good luck sweets..
Shell...Hope you feel better soon, make ure you look after yourself...
Tamara...just when you relax and stop worrying about everything and least expect it...POW BFP!!! I can feel it in the air....brace yourself!! Your about to take a trip on the ARK!!!
Naomi...Welcome and good luck..this would have to be the luckiest place to be, we are the best group of friends a girl could ask for...hope your stay is short and sweet...IYKWIM!!!
Hello to everyone else...
Jan xx
evening all,
hope you are all well. Welcome Naomi, nice to meet you in these circumstances. Hope you dont stay too long here (IYKWIM).
Sorry to hear BFN Shell, hopefully it was just too early to tell. Look after yourself too, cant go getting sick.
Tamara, good luck with testing soon. I am feeling good vibes from you.
Jan, i am glad to hear your nan is ok, not good news that the hospital (doctors) stuffed up so bad. How old is she if you dont mind me asking? My nan (79) just had a fall last week, broke her nose and 2 or 3 ribs. She still works cleaning houses at her age for extra money to help pay bills and now has to take 6 weeks off... no good for her. ]
Nola i am glad you are feeling sick (IYKWIM) , means that its all working great!!:)
Jayne, i didnt think i O's last pgncy but i did, so hopefully you have too....
Hello to everyone i missed.
I am doing well, hoping that Af gets a move on. Man its been 4 days already get going. I used to only get it for 2-3 days. Not much from me, Holly has been a bugger, going to get on the forum re sleeping and get some very urgent advice fro everyone, so feel free to give me some for those that already have cherubs.....
Bel...my Nan is 72. She just moved here from QLD. Out of 7 kids(2 dec) there are none who are willing to take care of her. She can't drive, walk very far, has arthritis in her spine and one knee cap. She needs someone now and they all wanted her to babysit or sort out their problems...makes me so mad!!! I have 4 boys and love her to pieces and find time to do the things she neeeds done..why can't they?? Selfish i tell ya!!!No matter cause she has me and my family and that's all that matters...
Hope your nan gets better, she sounds like a real goer!! She sounds fit and I think she will heal quickly...
Jan xx
Hi girls - Welcome Naomi!
By the time I get on at night most of you are well and truly in dreamland... ah, the perils of living on the West Coast.
Amazing how many posts in the past 24 hours, I can't reply to all, but I'd just like to say good luck to everyone this month - new pgs, those hoping to ovulate, those waiting, etc.. it is all so draining, even the good stuff!
I am afraid I belong to the compulsive POAS group... I did a test last Thursday (day 21 of a 26 or 28 day cycle). Pretty dumb really. Anyhoo am on day 25 now was very teary last night so am thinking am pre-menstrual. Will try to hold off buying a HPT until the weekend (assuming AF doesn't show up before then).
Tanya, hope the Engagement party went Ok and that people were sensitive. People can be truly awful without realising it. I was at the shops the other day with my lovely Mum of all people and she kept pointing out all the pregnant bellies!! :doh: Clueless. Then my grown niece for want of anything better to say rubs my tummy and says "Are you pregnant?" knowing full well that I am not and that if I was I wouldn't be showing. Oh, and that comment was during the big 60th bash that I organised for my Mum - so even though loud music was playing, it could have been heard (or seen) by any number of people. :mad:
Anyway, just venting sorry if I got carried away.
Baby dust to every one of you gorgeous girls. Wish me luck on my knicker-watch!! :p
