    mollycat--Yay for positive thinking! I have complete faith it will happen for you! Ingenious idea moving the computer so that you can watch it and the kids!



    anneebee--While it's been 7 mo's since my m/c, it also took us 6 mo's before that to fall pg.... so feels like it's been a long time! There's other's who've been waiting longer than me, tho, and going thru far more extensive lengths in order to become pg. I feel privileged to be a part of this group, it's been a life saver for me! I your stay here with us is short and sweet,and you're blessed with a quick BFP... and of course I pray that your other tube won't get blocked, and you'll have a happy and healthy pg'cy!



    Leary--Thanks for looking out for our thread! I appreciate your input and your support!



    Toccara--Sorry to hear DH was sick... at least he got to be sick at home with you, and wasn't stuck away from home! How's the job hunt going, have you started looking yet? :goodluck2: Hope you're doing well, hon, and healing emotionally. Lot's of



    Flowerchild--Thanks for moderating! We appreciate you and all you do!

Going to send you another e-mail in a while... plc and I missed you in chat this am! *kiss* and for little Chyan



    Angel--I'm waiting so anxiously to hear how the IUI went! I've prayed so much and so hard for you and for those little spermies to do their job! You're killing me, girl, let us know how it went!!! *kiss*

    Jen - what's the go with your temps. I see they've gone back up - obviously that broken thermometer. Are you still getting cramps and twinges or are you going to POAS and put us out of our misery?

    Fificlaire & Rachelswirl - I'm sending all my to you girls. I'm so happy for you both. Keep growing strong little jelly beans. Little soft bubba for your little jelly beans.

    KrystieLove - You sound so happy. It's nice to hear. Step families add a whole new demension to your family don't they. So are you going to have the 1 year old full time? Is the one year old your step-son or daughter? You are going to be a busy girl, but it be nice to have a house full of kids, even if it for only some of the week. Here is some more . Little soft bubba for your little jelly bean.

    Babyfever - I really really hope you have a better day today. Well it's probably nearly night over there. You probably need a good sleep after staying up so late last night. Still no BT results???

    Jen - I'm still that you're blessed this month. Here's a big BIG for you. You now have an extra person (me) praying for you to progress from this forum, make sure when you get to PAML that you reach back and grab my hand and pull me through with you.

    I was wondering if our blessed ladies did anything different during the month they fell pregnant. I've heard of so many things - green tea, baby asprin (not sure if this is available in Oz), adult asprin, iron vitamins, Omega3 supplements .... the list goes on and on. Just living in hope that there is one magical thing I can do to help my chances next month.

    AFM - I'm hoping that October's my month. I have lots of love for October - DH birthday, my oldest brother's birthday (past away at 2 days old - little premmie bubba, unfortunately 40 years ago they couldn't save those little ones) and my little brother's birthday (He'll turn 28 this year. He's slow and can't speak properly, but he communicates with his hands, face and voice. He's remarkable and he's my best friend. He truly is love. )

    I seriously need to do some renovating today. The boss (I call my DH the boss during working hours) wasn't very impressed with the progress yesterday. Ha ha ha. I'll check on all you beautiful people later.

    mollycat--I don't know what's going on! Still had some slight crampiness today, but yesterday was worse. Will see how it goes in the am with my temp... it's just my luck, I'm sure it will go down again! Looks like we both got open circles on our charts today! Stop using my thermometer!!



    Babyfever--Sorry to hear your BT results have been delayed... DS is doing ok, thanks for asking.... he'll be back at school tomorrow--just has a cold and swollen lymph nodes, which is causing his neck pain.



    Thanks for that mollycat! DS asked if I would rather be sick than him, and I told him of course.... he said "NO, you wouldn't, or you would feel like you were dying!" He's a little dramatic, but I could tell that he definitely didn't feel good--you can always tell when boys are sick because they don't want to eat or play!



    smilanatu--Hey girlfriend! Thanks for that! Uugh.... :goodluck2: with the apartment search! I'm sure it will be a huge relief when you've got your own place.... can't you make Lee move out since you've got kids? Sorry to hear about Friday--ouch, that's rough! Big hugs, hon!

    Jen Yeah I'm glad he was home so I could take care of him I kept trying to get him to drink some tea but he hates tea so he would not drinking it ... I just talk to him and he said he is feeling better which is good he has a big test on Friday I also took this weekend off so we can go hang out and do something ...


    ATM ~ I'm going back to ttc in 3 months ... To all you girls
    Oh and my OB just sent me letter in the mall saying my iron was really low and needed to come get a prescription for iron I was wondering if that has anything to do with me m/c'ing because they never told me they are just now sending me a letter like 4 weeks later I'm confused should I be upset???

    OMG........I m burning smelly stuff and lighting candles...... the energy in this "room" is terrible.....

    Ladies Please.... we are all here to support one another.... we have this amaizing site where we can come and talk about things and find the support we just can not find elsewhere...... Please please please.....lets all just stop... breath... and remember that we are all meant to be here for each other.

    OK OK OK... .. GROUP HUG.... come on ... everyone...even lurkers

    NOW..... we all good... Ok...

    Sorry... I ll just sprinkle some baby dust around to just get the rest of those negative energies...... (now do you have the image of me tip toeing around sprinkle sprinkle sprinkle.....lol)

    Ok this is a me post just so I can update everyone and say thank you


    Thank You Thank You Thank You... to everyones prayers and thoughts over the last 2 days..... I really am touched and THANK YOU.

    Sunday at 3pm we went to the Accupunturist who cut her Sunday short just so she could come in and Pin DH so that everything was covered for his little floaters on Monday. We then got some DVD s on the way home and DH put the Plasma upstairs in our Bedroom and set up the DVD player there so that I had no reason to move on Monday.

    Up bright and early Monday morning ...... quickly "helped" DH with is Floaters and then off we went into the city.... Floaters in his pocket int there little container.....keepin them nice and warm. They then had to be washed and checked while we had Breakfast downstairs. Then with the little tube of all the goodies wrapped up and kept nice and snug (down my bra) off we went back to North West for the intro.

    Talk about romantic..... DH sitting next to me while I m on the nice comfy table.... holding his hand...... then further down south... bright lights, poking..proding..... why go candle light when you can have bright light.. proding and poking.... where s the romance in traditional

    The intro was made and then back home.... I layed in that bed for a good 3 hrs.... 2 hours of that busting to go to the toilet but refusing to...... finally i couldnt take it anymore... up to the toilet and then straight back to laying down in bed.....

    I ve now got peseries to use day and night... and am now on Fertility support 2 herbs...... I know that IF it doesnt work.... that we have done EVERYTHING we could have possibly done to make it work.

    I know its stupidly early days but I am confident.... I even saw a name on a DVD the other day and swore it was sign because I have been struggling with names...... It was Gabriel... which I thought was way beyond appropriate considering my little Angels up above..... (for those who dont know.....Arch Angel Gabriel)

    So now I take it super super super easy..... do a heck of a lot of sitting.... and wait for littlel Gabriel to stick.

    Again... THANK YOU... to everyone for there well wishes.... and huge hugs


    And Jen Jen..... Krystie... and BB..... Love Ya Love Ya Love Ya

    PS...JEN JEN.... I m waiting

    Annebee- Yeah it is 7:00pm here & I will actully be heading to bed around 9pm or 10pm tonight. I didn't get my BT results in maybe beacause they had alot of blood work they had been working on. I'm sure to have them by morning, There usually never so late with everything. The things I did when I fell pregnant was, used instead cups & pre natle vitamens, had DH cut out on Caffene & with the first two that I have that are living I just relaxed and really wans't into the whole TTC fourms thing back then. With the 3 that I lost I was trying really hard and doing the treads and the other stuff I listed above. So, not really to much that was differant. Wow, you have October babies in the Family that is awsome! Sorry to hear about your brother I hope that you get your wishes of a October BFP that would be great! Ugh oh with DH. I hope you have a wonderful Um (night, afternoon,evening there??)..lol..

    Toccara-I'm not sure if the iron would have anything to do with the M/c or not I'm sorry I'm not much help on that, I know that low iron can cause animia meaning you have a high chance of bleeding/brusing easier. I wish I could be more help. .

    jen-Oh bless his heart. Never easy when your babies are sick. Hopefully the sleep he gests tonight/the rest he got today helped him out better.

    Angelbabies= I was trying to sit there for a minute to figure out what you were saying about floaters.. LOL. Total blond moment. I really hope this does the trick for you darling. And, I hope that the perrsys and herbs help get things going for you. lots of 's for you and DH. I'm glad to see that you have posted.

    Toccara - I'm no expert but I'll tell you what my OB told me. After my op and d&c I had lost quiet a bit of blood and he made me take an iron supplement for a month. Your low iron level may be related to the blood you lost. I spoke to my chemist and he confirmed the same thing. At my follow up appointment with my Ob he told me to continue taking iron but only a couple of times a week as it will assist in becoming pregnant. He also wants me to take Omega3 supp as this helps the bubba grow once we're pregnant. This info has come from only one doc so I would check with you're own Ob before starting to take any supplements. The only thing I know for sure is to take folate tablets. My bedside table looks like a small pharmacy with all the vitamins/supplements. I even have 2 types of headache tablets - one I can take before ovulation and one during the TWW (but I try not to take medication during TWW .... just in case). I believe we're all doing our best and at the end of the day that's all we can do. I'm giving you a big in hope that you can find some solace today.

    Angel - You sound fantastic. I'm for you. Arch Angel Gabriel is a fantastic and very appropriate name. I love it. I'm all fingers & toes for you.

    Now I've gotta run and do some work before the boss comes home and catches me bludging again.

    Rachelswirl - Sounds like one tough little bean, probably just snuggling in tight. Early pg is scary though - just try to relax as much as you can. The best you can do at this stage is just try.

    larz - well the belly growing is a good indication that things are going well so Good luck for the 7th. It feels like the time has flown since our NT scan. I no longer count in gest weeks I count down to birth - that will be you soon

    issy - hmmm you are very strong not to have tested by now. Good luck and I hope there is a BFP waiting for you.

    Angel - it was lovely to come in here this morning to your lovely candles & smelly stuff. You are always such a great support

    smilinatu - big big hug for last Friday.

    Big Hugs and loads of babydust to everyone.

    Larz - Congratulations on your jelly bean. Being a fellow ectopic mama I was wondering if you lost your fallopian tube with your first angel and how long you were trying to fall (with this jelly bean). I totally understand if you would rather not talk about your ectopic pregnancy. I'd still like to give your little jelly bean a soft .

    Babyfever - I've still got nothing on the PM. I emailed a moderator last night to see if I could be activated, but I haven't heard back yet. Good luck tomorrow with your results. Fingers and toes for you.
