Nic - Id wait til at least 10dpo - even though you are feeling nauseas, your hcg levels might still be too low to pick up on a hpt at 5dpo. I know its hard but try and hold out til then :D

Hi Girls,
I just want to pop in quickly to wish MEGAN all the best with her scan. We'll be thinking of you hun...xxx
Oh yeah - Lisa, the job hunting sux....i'm getting absolutely nowhere!!!!!
I'll try and pop back later, but wishing you all heaps of babydust...
Just had a read and tried to catch up, but honestly, my brain is too focussed on this damn scan and i can't concentrate! So sorry everyone, i hope you are all doing well.
Two things i do remember...
Hope - i hope you are ok, i can just imagine how you are freaking out and i think you should have a scan just to ease your mind....thinking of you!
Lisa - i just freaked out when i read your post about having Hope or Faith for your daughters middle name...I have been thinking the EXACT same thing!!!!!! That is so so weird. I just think it is so perfect after everything we have gone through and i actually started thinking about it cos of the Hope in here!! Also, i went to a hen's sat night too, wonder if it was the same one...ha ha!!
Good luck with the BDing and testing and symptoms and everything everyone!!!!!!!!!
P.S - thanks for all the good luck wishes for tonight everyone!!
OH Shan I hope something good comes out of all the job hunting. It can be a frustrating time can't it. I hate the fact that you go to soooo much effort in getting resumes out there and employers don't have the decentsey to even send a letter of aknowledgement. Anyhoo best of luck sweet.:hug:
LisaL, my feelings are mixed atm. One minute I'm happy as I have a direction and another minute I'm quite sad that we may actually need to go down this path IYKWIM. Deep down I'm really hoping that I'm preg now so I don't need to worry about any of this, But only time will tell.
Aussinic, I can test anytime now but think I'll wait out til Friday. I would love to know now but my last cycle went 38 days and I'm on cd 36 today so I'll wait until then. I also don't work Fridays so either way I'll be able to deal with the outcome no matter what it is, at home instead of at work.
What cd are you on atm? And when is af due??
Will pop back in later:hello:
OMG Megan - how freaky is that about the name thing - I think we will both have girls anyway so we can use them! Yours will be a bit older than mine though ;) Praying really hard for the best results for your scan sweety. I was at Moonee Valley and then to an Irish Pub in Essendon.......
Mako - I totally KWYM about being sad but optimistic at the same time. Whatever happens hun, just know that we are here to support you and help you towards that bfp :hug: Praying that af stays away though.
Nic - lets revisit the 'should I test' question again at 10dpo - cause then you might really want to test especially if more symptoms kick in. Praying for you sweets.
Shan - so your officially in the tww?? Hope the job hunting goes quicker than the tww!
Tanya - I feel overly optimistic this month, and like you I have had months where Ive had the same feeling and nothing - af turns up - but this month i'll be praying extra hard for all of us! I hope our 'feelings' are right though!
have a great night - I will be back later to check Megan's scan results - but thinking of you Megan and cant wait to hear happy news :)
Hi everyone - well pretty sure af has come to visit me. V. light though and not much cramping either. But it must be I s'pose!
Not too bothered since it will be the first cycle after the m/c so we'll be in full swing in the next 14 days:-) For Sure. At least I'll know where I am now CD wise!
Funny I actually thought I was pregnant. Been feeling nauseas on and off for days now - Oh Well. Next time!
GL to everyone else waiting to test:-)
Just dropping in to say GOODLUCK MEGAN!! I'm sure it will all go swimmingly. I'll be checking back in later and will look forward to hearing your good news. MEGAN I must also let you know after your previous comment that Hope is not actually my real name-- oooh a reveal!! It just seemed very apt when I joined BB as hope was all that was/is keeping me going. My real name is Leah but let's keep it on the quiet. I quite like being Hope in here. The other funny or rather coincidental thing is that my sister's name is Meaghan (not the same spelling I know but coincidental nonetheless)!
GOOD LUCK MEGAN :hug:
Thanks so much everyone for all your "good luck" vibes!
Well after waiting for an hour in the waiting rooms and getting extremely nervous (i think i pee'd 3 times).......all went great. There was a heartbeat, woo hoo, and i actually saw it this time. The weird thing was the baby measured 7 weeks, 3 days - exactly the same measurement as when i m/c. I thought that was weird especially considering we didn't think we were that far along. Ob. wants me to come back next week to measure again to check the length as its bigger than the dates expected. But I guess that is better than being smaller! Thank god that is over! Now i will be able to get back to some personals again soon cos i will be able to think again!
Hope - for some reason i had an inkling that might not be your name, but i love it anyway! Cheeky bugger!
Lisa - i was in the city for the hen's, we actually did a nude life drawing class, it was a classic!!
Will catch up with everyone tomorrow!! Thanks again!
Megan- That is wonderful news hun, I am so very happy for you and your dh. It must have been a very special moment for you both :happyforyou:
Kez xxxx
Great news Megan. The fact that the dates measured the same as when you lost the first pg. might be a sign that bub is telling you it's OK--"look Mum I've made it this far already"!! Glad to hear it went so well.:p
Well done Megan....that's awesome news. Congratulations....I know it will be hard, but now you can relax and enjoy your bubba a bit...oh yeah..and good stuff about the Nude painting class....i had a little chuckle to DH about that one...hehe:hug:
Nic - I'm still bf dd too. She has about 3 feeds a day. Was feeding 5 times a day when I fell pg last time. I get O pains too - can tell which side is popping a googie each month. Hope you get a BFP at the end of the week!
Lou - How's the packing going? Here's hoping you get a new little bundle with your new house. I found out I was pg 1st week in our new place earlier this year.
Shan - I hear you on the mum thing!
Janine - g'luck!
Susie - You're right about others not understanding - gosh, I know I didn't understand when friends told me of their losses before I'd been through it myself. Hope you're not in here long! I had a d&c & was told to wait until after my first full period before trying again. That was almost 3 months ago now.
Hope - hun, we're all sending you sticky, sticky, sticky baby vibes! Hang in there, babe.
Lisa - love the Faith or Hope middle name - you made me all sooky there.
Megan - oh, oh, oh! First scan! how cool! Whoo hoo boom boom heartbeat - that's the best thing in the world, isn't it?! Congratulations! Hope they gave you a piccy. LOL re the nude drawing class - that would've been great!
Nic - you can get tests for 5 days before af due - go get one! Hope it's a BFP!
My news - a very disappointing BFN. :( Crazy, I was so sure I was UTD this time. Was getting nausea bouts & even told DH I thought I was pg. The wicked witch arrived Sat morning. Still, as disappointing as it is, I'm using this week & next to get everything sorted out healthwise. Dentist for this wisdom tooth (all the sympathy in the world for DD while she's teething too!), skin cancer check, girly bits smear (yukko - sorry if tmi) & new chiropractor. Then bring on the Pretzel!
Hoping for many mini pretzels amongst us this time round!
xx
Yay Megan!! That is fantastic news!!!
Cilmum... I am sorry you got a BFN... it truly is heartbreaking, huh? But just keep in mind that it aint over thil AF arrives!!
Not much going on here... only on CD6, so very boring!!
Tanya
Megan - that is wonderful news! I am so happy for you hun, hope you can finally relax and enjoy the pg ride :)
A big to everyone else, bbl for personals
Lisa
Hi everyone
I am in my first cycle of TTC after the loss of my little by Harrison and wanted to join you all in this journey. I have to be honest I have been reading this thread for a while and now feel up to joining. You all sound so sweet and I hope that we all get a special BPF Christmas surprise.
I am so nervous, sad, excited, anxious about this whole process but nothing will stop me from having a healthy little baby and taking them home. It is going to take me a while to catch up on everyones story and do personals but can I just say congrats to Megan. I know how absolutely terrifying scans can be and to hear that heartbeat is the sweetest sound there is.:bluedust: to everyone....Spring Angel
Spring Angel, I'm so glad that you have joined us. I'm so sorry to hear about little Harrison, and also his twin, but you have definately come to the right place.
I think we all end up here the same way as you have, well, i know i did. I read the thread for ages before I felt ready to join in, but it was the best decision i have ever made.
You are a very strong woman, you will get a baby in your arms and we're all here to help you along the way. We'll support you 100% just as we support each other and you are welcome into our little family with open arms....
Wow! Lots of new people here. I am going to give a shot at personals so bear with me.
SpringAngel-So sorry for your losses. I hope your TTC journey goes well and you have a BFP really soon.
Hindonly-Did AF really show? I hope she stays away!
SusieT-I haven't had time to welcome you yet and tell you sorry for your losses. You will find it comforting to be here.
Megan-Yeah! Congrats on your good scan. I bet it was wonderful to see your precious little one.
Cilmum-Sorry about AF showing up. Hope she doesn't stay long and you can get to the BD and get your BFP really soon!
Tanya-Still bored? Hope time goes fast and you O really soon!
Shan-Where are you at in your cycle? I've lost track of you somewhere along the line. I hope you are doing well.
Lisa-How's the BD fest going? I hope you haven't totally worn out DH. As my husband would say, "I'm not a machine!" Although it would make it easier for us if they were and we didn't have to put anymore effort into it. I hope time goes fast for you and you get your BFP really soon. You so deserve it.
Hope-How are you doing? I must keep missing your posts. I hope everything is going good for you!
Sorry I haven't been here much. I was gone on a shopping trip with the women in DH family. We had such a good time but it was hard shopping thinking I should be buying clothes for Dawson right now and that hit me pretty hard. I have been having some tough days lately and have been missing my son really bad. I am already having some pretty big fears about this baby and realizing how bittersweet this all is. I am so grateful to be pregnant but it is so scary all at the same time. Sorry for the downer attitude but I guess I needed to get this out somewhere and you guys are so wonderful! I have my doctors appt next week so I hope that will give me some peace of mind. Thanks again!
Hi gals,
Missy - oh sweety dont feel bad about feeling down we are all here to help each other through and im sure there will be plenty of times where you think about Dawson and how things would be now. He will always be around his beautiful mummy. As for my bd fest - not O time just yet but we have been dtd every second day JIC - will start full steam ahead from tomorrow - whooo hoooo!! DH better charge his Duracell's - I need him to keep on going and going and going LOL!
SpringAngel - welcome to our ttc 'family', we are all here to help each other through the ups and downs of ttc after a loss. I hope little Harrison is watching down on you and has a word to the angels about bringing you that bfp for xmas. I hope that your new journey is short and sweet.
Hind - ohhhh :crying: im so upset that you got af - I was really hoping this was your month, but onwards and upwards lovely, you will get there soon. Still got time for a xmas bfp for you! So have you had any more bleeding? You dont think it could have been an implant bleed?
Tanya - sometimes i think the tww for O is worse than the tww for bfp!! Im waiting too - had a line on an opk the other day, tested yesterday and nothing. So will wait for some ewcm and continue testing. Hope yours comes quiclkly.
Cilmum - sorry for you bfn - will that nasty witch ever learn to STAY AWAY! Hope next month is your month sweets.
SusieT - how are you going hun??
Shan - how you going? How weird has this wheather been?? How far into the tww are you now??
Nic - any more symptoms?? Keeping it all crossed for you babe.
Mako - any news? Praying for you sweets.
Hope - how are you going my sweety? Are you feeling better - and when are you going to have your scan? Sending you loads of :hug: and even more sticky vibes.
Megan - oh you must be absolutely stoked about those wonderful results and the fact bub is measuring bigger!!So you must have O'd earlier than you thought.
A big hi to everyone else :hello:
Me - im off to NP tonight as im almost mid cycle so she has to tinker around with my naughty ovaries. I feel all bloated and have been having a bit more cm than usual for this time of the month (its not really ewcm but just more of the normal cm). Ohter than that still feel really positive. Im going to get that bfp before February if its the last thing I do!! - and i have a feeling when it does come its going to be a pink bfp!
Sending loads of bfp vibes to you all,
Lisa
Afternoon all,
This night sound really strange... but here goes. It's only been a week since our m/c but we are really looking forward to trying again. I've never been so enthusiastic about af turning up that I can't wait to see the old bag!! We want to have a family so much and I feel guilty that I don't spend 24/7 crying over our angel baby. Its sooooo hard to know what I'm meant to be feeling at the moment.... I need guidence please!
And for something a little odd... I just looked out our office window at work and saw a couple of DONKEY drawn carts.... hmmmm unusual!
Hope everyone is having good afternoons
Hugs :hug:
Susie xo
Hi All,
I hope you dont mind me joining in. Ive been reading everyones stories over the last week or so, some with absolute delight and others that bring tears to my eyes.
I've been on IVF for 3 & 1/2 yrs and got an exciting BFP earlier this year only to lose him in June at 11weeks - heartbeat disappeared:( ! Straight after that I just wanted to get back on the horse and give it another go, however my body wasnt playing and I couldnt start until about 6 weeks ago. I had a TF last Wednesday of 2 perfect blasts and am serving my sentence on the 2ww. I would say I just want the 2ww over, but only if its a BFP! My mind is playing trciks on me - making me think I should understand more about what went wrong last time....... but the doc assured me that it was natures way & that I shouldnt necessraily expect that it will happen again. :pray: to go it doesnt, but now I worried that if I get a BFP that I wont be able to enjoy it.
ANyway heres hoping the next week flies for me a& anyone else that's waiting for their moment.
:bluedust: :stickyvibesboy: To all.
Susie - oh love - dont feel guilty about wanting to have another bub again, its perfectly natural and normal to feel that way. There will be times in your life when you think about your angel bub and you will cry and think about all the 'what if's' - its a real rollercoaster and you will learn to ride the emotions as they come. I was the same as you - wanting a bub again straightaway - unfortunately for us it didnt happen and now its coming close to the anniversary of the loss of our first angel. I hope that you dont have to wait so long and that you are blessed with a bfp soon. I think it might make the grief for your loss easier if you have a new bubba to love and focus on.
LOL at the donkey's - where abouts do you work?
Drembub - hello sweety and welcome to our little group - I am really sorry for your loss and wish that you didnt have to be in this thread at all, but I know you will find lots of support in here and we will all be here to hold your hand through a new bfp. As much as Im desperate to have a little bub, a bfp would absolutely scare the crap out of me - but with all the wonderful gals in here its so much easier. I hope your TF is successfull and you have a new little sticky bean in there. And what you said about the tww being a sentence - sooo true. Praying your only days away froom a bfp hun.
Im about to leave work and have just been given the orders - no one is to leave the office as the Labor party's planning policy has just been released and we have to be here to answer q's etc etc etc... BUT I have an appt with my NP for accupuncture on my ovaries as im almost mid cycle, so there is no way this election is going to interfere with my baby making! One of my mates here just said to me - well put your foot down and say "what about MY LABOUR POLICY"!! LOL!! So im off to test the waters and see what reaction I get when I tell them im leaving at 4.
Take care and chat to you all later,
Lisa
Hi:hello:
Lisa, Good luck with your NP appointment, and good on you for not letting your boss and election rule your life.
Welcome to everyone who is new here and I hope you all end up with bfp's in time for christmas. Remember to be kind to yourselves and however you are feeling is absolutely normal. We all have days were we are very happy and other days when we are very sad. It is also ok to want to try for another baby straight away or if you want to wait some time thats ok too. Good luck to you on this journey.
Megan, I'm soooooooooo pleased everything went great with your scan hun. Try to relax now and enjoy this pregnancy.:)
Missy, I'm thinking of you sweet. All the best with your drs appoint next week. Make sure you let us know how it goes.
Hi to all you lovelies out there who I've missed. Hope you are all ok. And I'm sending lots of baby dust around for everyone.
As for me I'll be testing on Friday, unless the ugly witch shows up. Atm I have absolutely no signs of anthing either way, so who knows?????????????
Lisa - they're always banging on about having a child for you, a child for your husband & one for the country - just tell them you're doing it for Australia!!
Fingers crossed for some BFPs (Big Fat Pretzels) in here this time around.
I'll be getting some OPK's this time - when should I start testing? I think I O on CD12 which will be next Wednesday. BUT, silly me went to ask a Dentist (a dentist, of all people, how silly can I be??) about my wisdom tooth (not very much wisdom in that one, obviously) & he says they have to come out! They? Yes, they! Not just the one coming through now, but 2 of them have to come out! Still, can't make me any sillier... And when do you think he wants to do that? Yup. Next Wednesday. Under general anaesthetic in hospital. Aaaarrrrrgggghhh! I'm still bding. It ain't gonna stop me! But, does anyone know if a ga will affect conception or the safety of the baby if we do conceive? Or will it affect O-ing?
Hi everyone
How busy is this place????
This is just a quick one to say hi to all of you wonderful ladies and to send lots of :bluedust: to everyone. A warm welcome and huge :hug: to both Spring Angel and Dream Bub. I hope your time with us is short and ends with someone sweet.Great news for Megan and the scan. You and DH must be so relieved - a heart beat is fantastic and you have the added bonus of being a bit further along.
I am absolutely exhausted after 3 long days at work. I'm not noticing too much with TWW symptoms....will wait and see......and I am NOT doing an early HPT. Will do some personals tomorrow after a good night sleep.
Take care and sweet dreams.
PS How funny is this- Sam often watches me with great intrigue when I do my OPT. The other day he got a cup out of the draw pulled down his pants and copied me. WHAT THE....:eek:
Hi girls, :hello:
I have been following this thread for a while and finally decided to post.
I am currently in the TWW of my first cycle of trying...have had 2 - tests so far but the witch hasn't appeared yet. Not feeling very positive though.
Well i hope everyone is going well with all of you.
A little insight to my losses was posted in here before.
I am umming and arrrring about whether to put them in my siggy, but i think if they were there i would always be reminded of them. i know thats not always bad but sometimes it is not good either mmmmmmm dunno.
Anyway i will be following and posting a little bit more no i am not just a lurker or stalker lol.
Welcome June Mummy,I'm sorry to hear of your losses.I understand what you mean about the reminders too. Good luck with your journey and all the best on your upcoming wedding (ooohhhh how exciting).
Chicken, PMSL at Sam, how funny, kiddies pick up so much don't they??? Wishing you all the best for this cycle. When are you up for testing?:)
Cilmum, Sorry hun but I can't help as far as the effect of ga. I'm sure someone in here will be able to help. Good luck with everything next Wednesday. I'll be thinking of you.:hug:
A big :hello: to everyone else.
As for me I still haven't tested and still no sign of af. I will test tomorrow and will let you all know how it goes. One of my friends who knows where we are up to rang today and tried to talk me into testing today. She is soooo funny. She says she has a good feeling this month for us but I just don't want to get my hopes up and the be dissappointed if its a bfn or if af shows up. Oh well will find out tomorrow. Will keep my fingers crossed.
hi girls,
A quick one for now - welcome Kristee - im glad you have found us and hope you get a nice sticky bfp at the end of your tww. As for your angels, they will always be in your heart so if you dont feel its right to put them in your sig, then thats what you should do.
Me - went to NP last night, and my appt lasted forever! she massaged my ovaries and 'felt them up' :eek: She told me that I hadnt ovulated yet and then she kept rolling over my left ovary and she said it feels like its fluttering like a butterfly inside and that the energies are really good and I would O from that side - yipee (thats the side WITH a tube). But she wants me to go back in one week so she can check on my ovaries again to see if Ive O'd. She says my little one is so close but she wants to know why it isnt here yet! She suspects that my LP might be a bit short so she included vitex in my new herb caps that I have started taking this cycle. She also told me to go home and do heaps of bding until I go back to see her next week. so tonight its off with the clothes and tomorrow night its helloooo sexpo! going with my gal pals for a laugh and might stock up on some new lingerie to get dh really going!! LOL! Oh and she also told me to have a few drinks if it helps me relax when dtd!
So I guess its one step closer to being a mummy for me! ive been doing alot of talking to that eggy, and the NP did some prayers and stuff over them and was talking to the eggy too (she is v spiritual and is a medium).
Wishing you all healthy bfp's - its time we had another mass exodus!!
Your appointment sounds wonderful Lisa!! I have everything crossed that you will be joining us soon in the rollercoaster ride of PAML :hug:
Now get thee to sexpo and jump that husband of yours. I am sure he won't complain :D
Oh Lisa that sounds wonderful!!! I hope that little eggy pops out over the w/e sounds like it would be perfect timing!
Mako... I hope that when you do decide to test you get your BFP!! GL!
Kristee, good on you for joining us... ttc after a m/c is definately diferent than ttc without having experienced it, so if you feel you need to join in go for it :) we ae happy to have you!
Lou!! LOL @ Sam!! I don't do mine in front of the girls... I am sure they would think I was nuts!! LOL
Cilmum... I am sure you will be fine at the dentist, lets just hop O happen b4 of a few days after ;)
Been feeling very down about my edd :( 16 days :( I thought I would definately be pg by then, but... so I think it is making me feel even worse! Oh well...
Tanya
HI gals,
Tanya - oh sweety, the edd is always so hard. I found that for me too it was even harder as I wasnt pg yet. And now im approaching the date of my loss (9th Dec) and its getting a bit hard that im not pg yet. Are you going to do something special on that day to remember your angel? I wrote a poem on a balloon and dh and I set it free into the heavens from our backyard (i wanted it to be released from home). I felt it was very good for me emotionally and I felt some relief afterwards.
Cilmum - LOL at sam copying you!! I normally start the OPK's around cd10-12. Good luck!
Michelle - thanks hun - I really hope i can get to ride that rollercoaster soon. Im glad your feeling better though (I have been spying on your progress in PAML ;) )
Mako - ooooh sweety I am keeping it all crossed for you!! You are a brave woman - I would have caved in and tested by now! Im already jumping up and down at the prospect that you might be UTD!!
How is everyone else going?? Where is everyone else??
Kate (aka Miss Kitten) are you out there somewhere?????? Just wanting to know if your ok sweets.
bbl for some more chatting,
Lisa
OMG you wouldn't believe it. I just typed out a huge post - took me about 25 mins to get it right, and i must have taken too long coz it made me log in again and i lost the lot....god i hate computers sometimes.....aaaagggghhhh....
Well i'll come back later to do my personals now....but i wanted to say a quick welcome to Shaz and Kristee....
Hi girls,
Tanya i know how you feel it wasn't that long ago when i came up to my anniversary as when one of mine would have been 1....it is so hard. I never did anything to celebrate or remember and now i wish i had.
Well i haven't caved in....i thought i would have tested again today but so far no....thats not to say that i won't cave this arvo or tomorrow morning.
Do any of you know i this is true i read it some where: 'if you have recently given birth, as in 5 months and less ago then it takes longer for the HCG hormone to get in your urine stream"?????
I guess i am clutching at straws.
Talk later
Hi girls, i hope you don't mind if join you in here!
I'm looking for something proactive to do since my m/c earlier in the week and looking forward to the ttc journey is something positive isn't it!? I still have bad 'moments' but they're becoming less and less. I'm really keen to 'get back on the horse' (so to speak) and try again, hopefully we'll be able to ride off into the sunset iykwim!

Thanks Lisa! i think its the best way that I can cope with the loss.. is to just get into the swing of things.. its hard but I want that Buddah belly so much!!
Where in melb are you?? we're out Frankston way.
getting more and more excited about sharing this next ttc journey! :)
Hi :hello:
Lind, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss earlier this week. Remember to take care of your self during this time. I still have bad days regarding my m/c's.
Tanya, I wish I could come over and give you a huge hug sweet, but I know I can't so I'll send you one of these ones instead:hug: . I completely understand how you are feeling atm. Just be kind to yourself and allow yourself to cry when you need to. Remember we are here for you sweet.
Lisa, I glad your appointment went well last night. Fingers crossed that you catch that googie egg.
June Mummy, Is af late or are you testing early? Good luck to you for a bfp.
Thanks Tanya and Lisa for your support. I'll pop in tomorrow and let you know the outcome no matter what it is. OOOHHH I hope it's a BFP for me:pray: . Oh well not long to go untill I find out.
Shan, Don't you hate when that happens. Where are you up to hun?
Michelle, How are you and little ALF going? I hope you are both well. Has the bleeding stopped that you had the other day?
I'm sending loads of :bluedust: to everyone.
