Hi ladies, a new thread boy you have all been busy., I just cant keep up so I do apologies.
Jenuskha Good luck with the menevit I hope it works for you and I that and get your sticky lil jelly bean.
Jen Thanks for the advice about the B6 I will go buy some on my next day off. I am willing to give anything a go. I also have a question for you since you seem to be pretty good at the whole BBT thing. I am a shift worker and work different shift all the time would I still be able to BBT? I asked my acupuncturist and he said no just curious what you think?
Issy Well I dont know what to say about AF I dont want her to come as I am hoping you get a BFP. Maybe you could go get a blood test done and they can check your hormones and tell you approx where you are in your cycle?
Mollycat Good work with the spring cleaning I did it not that long ago but wasn't as successful as you I only managed to get one garbage bag full. Sending you lots of Hope those spermies done there job and and you get your BFP this month.
Rachael :goodluck2: in your I hope you get your BFP next week. My FS has just put me on 25mg of Clomid to start on my next cycle as they usually are 37 days long in hope that it makes me ovulate earlier. Did you find that the clomid helped you? Can I ask why the FS put you on clomid?
Tutame Congratulations on your healthy 12 week scan and that button is having a great time in your tummy
AFM Well I am a little confused I dont know what is happening in my cycle my CM has changed and the position of my cervix from low to high and then back to low again almost twice in each day so I am really confused about when I Ovulated. Well I think I am somewhere in my TWW but dont know where guess I will just have to play the waiting game now and see if AF shows up

Tam--I think as long as you get 3 consistent hours of sleep, you can take your temp at any time of the day--it doesn't just have to be in the am. Let me see what I can find..... OK, here's what it says about BBT and shift work on FF:
How can I chart my BBT if I work shifts?
It is not impossible to take your BBT if you work shifts, but it will be more challenging. Take your temperature at the time you wake up when you are most likely to have had the most sleep. Be as consistent as you can. On your days off, take your temperature after you wake up as well, even if it is at a different time. Make a note on your chart of changes in your waking schedule. You may take your temperature in the afternoon before you go to work if that is your usual waking time and the time after which you are most likely to have had the most sleep. It is not useful to take your temperature when you are already awake and active.
Hope that helps! Ooh, and good luck with the B6--I learned of it thru some of the girls here at BB, and it also helped them with their cycles!
issy--Hope things get worked out with your cycle.... it must be so frustrating for you!
mollycat--We're pretty good at predicting your O, aren't we? And good for you for getting some cleaning done Could you please come do my garage next?
Hey Toccara! Thinking of you! Hope you're having a great weekend with DH!
Fab 3/4--Missing you all! Hope you enjoyed your weekend! Love you bunches! *kiss*
Jen - my intuition is saying a girl so it will be interesting to see if I'm right. Of course I'll just be happy with a healthy bub - but it's fun guessing. Yeah, my belly is getting bigger now which is nice but now that things are warming up I'm starting to really notice the heat.
Tutmae - yay, congrats on an excellent 12 week scan. Such a fabulous feeling, enjoy every moment of it. From 12 - 20 weeks it really flew for us. Yay - am so happy for you!!!
mollycat - hi! Well done on the de-cluttering. DH and I have been trying to do that at the moment consolidating our guest room & computer room into one so we could clear out a room for bub. I think we're getting there but sometimes you just have to be strong & say 'ok I haven't needed it or even thought about it for years so I'm just going to chuck it'. Easier said than done huh.
Just touching on the bbt topic - I found that if I just used the first temp after waking (whether I woke at 5.30am or 7.30am) and it still seemed to be reliable. And well, I'm sure most of you know how much I love B6 - helped my body hold onto this little bub nicely. Good luck Tam.
Rachel B - my sister told me to ask the OB about starting on Clomid when I see him, however I don't know much about it and I am ovulating, she told me that I could have multiple pg's if I start taking it and am already ovulating.????? Advice??
tutmae - Congratulations on the 12 week scan cannot wait for it to be all of us that are TTCing....
AFM - watched this show on Foxtel last night about triplets and these ladies who were all pregnant with triplets....it was so amazing and I cried and smiled and it just made me want just one bub even more...I don't know about you girls but I just love watching shows about fertility and babies .....just drinking up all the information on these shows... We are hoping this month will bring us a sticky bean....Im wishing it on all of you too.........
By the way in regards to B6 - Im just taking the whole kit and koboodle of
vitamin B complex plus folic acid with iodine...oh yes and the acupunture and the chinese herbs....hopefully this time it will be a healthy pregnancy....
Have a great day ladies thinking of you all..........xxx
Mannie - it is true that there is a possiblity of having multiples on clomid but I think it's a very slim chance. I fell pg on clomid twelve years ago and only had one, and have been on since and never fallen pg at all. I have PCOS but I do ovulate by myself.
AJC - totally easier to say "i really need to chuck that out". That's why i had so much to go through (still have a fair bit to do). I know i put some things back in the box cause I was "not ready" yet to get rid of it. Maybe next time. I'd love to get back out there today but it's just too hot at the moment. I've also been working on the garage (that's another place where I hide things i might want later)
Jen - If I ever finish cleaning up here, I'll be on the first plane over
Whoa so much has happened in the last couple of days.
It's scary how much you can miss staying offline.
I am not going to try and catch up on all the recent news as I don't have a couple of spare hours to read all the posts but I would just like to say
to those of you trying to concieve heres some
to those of you who have recently gotten a
and to those of you who have recently lost their little angel you have my love and thoughts
I got very upset last night when I couldn't post in the old thread but a very nice lady cleared that up for me this morning. I am surpirsed at how quickly I got dependant on this site. It is now apart of my life.
So far I am thinking this could be the month. I am tired, hungry and moody. Will just have to wait and see.
Hi every one, thanks for the well wishes. fingers and toes crosssed for a postive result.
Tam & Mannie: i was put on 50mg of clomid as i have PCOS and could go 12 months with out a vist from AF.and was put on Clomid to help me ovulate which it did but unfortunately i m/c at 6wks.
Clomid does incrreases the chances of multiple pregnancies and unfortunately i was pregnant with twins but did not no after my m/c i was not given a d&c and after bleeding for 38 days i decided to see my specialist who sent me to emergency where blood test showed my pregnancy hormones had tripled i thought how can this be and the dr explained that i had an ectopic peregnancyand that the baby had now made its way to my uterus and that i ould now need a d&c i was devastated and crushed i had not just been robbed of one baby but now 2.
There's not a day that goes by that i dot think of the little angels i lost, but i feel ready now to embark on that challengeing journey again. its now been almost 3 months sine my D&C and am half way through my 2WW trying so stay positive yet not get my hopes up.
Im not sure if this answers ur questions or helps but i hope that we call stay hopeful and soon be blessed with the pitter patter of little feet soon.
my thoughts are with all best of luck and talk again soon.
p.s you girls are great, i love that i can open up and tell you the things i feel but never say to others.
hi my name is lydia and I have been looking at these sites for ages and finally decided to post! im 21 and been with my partner for 3 years we are both professionals and are settled so before i go on i dont want to hear the your too young business or u should be married because ive heard it all before no offense! it took 15 months to get pregnant the first time but had a blighted ovum and the sac measured 8 weeks! i had no bleeding or cramping so i didnt find out til 12 weeks it was so awful walking round for 3 months with an empty womb. i chose the d and c as it had not passed after 4 weeks and it was classed as emergency. i never got follow up bloods to measure hcg or a secind ultrasound and i wish i had now for piece of mind as i have a retroverted uterus and sometimes wonder if maybe just maybe there was still a bit of hope. BUT i will never know! my cycle is always exactly 28 days even one month after d and c i was back to normal! it has been another 6 months and im sick of getting negatives! my partner is healthy and im a bit overweight but have recently lost 5 kilos and hopefully alot more! we both dont smoke or even drink! EVER and still nothing has happened. im sure i ovulate as my cycle is clockwork. ive finally made an appointment for my partner to get his sperm tested and bloodwork so hopefully it will rule some things out. I never thought i would have so much trouble i want some answers so we can save for ivf or adoption and have a good 20 years to work it all out. im soooo frustrated im a nurse and see pregnant women ALL the time! and i still cry often especially now as my due date was november 17. the only thing i can think of is i caught clamydia at 17 and it took 3 lots of treatment to cure it but i never got PID and doctors said it wouldnt be that but im still worried as i could of had it for a year as i only found out when my partner had symptoms and we both realised what had happened. ANY help would be great or to talk to someone going through the same thing!
