thanks hannahd for the info, also I had my d and c in may and since then every period i have had has gotten worse! i never had cramps before the procedure now i get sore breast sometimes 2 weeks before ( i hate it coz i always think its a pregnancy symptom) and cramps before, during and a much much heavier longer period. I think my body changed after thats all i can think of!
also milla thanks for the info, it gave me ...slight ....hope
now im on CD 23 and the sharp pains are more frequent, i sometimes get them while i HAVE af but never before and it started a week before its due so im stumped, since d and c every month im always 28 days but keep getting different things happening! i am not going to test unless i am late, im going to start vitamin b6 next cycle and it will be my 2nd cycle using the fertility monitor ( didnt get a peak this month) so hopefully that will help! good luck guys! also I found out my partner may be going to the middle east for an army term in Feb 2009 and we dont know whether to keep actively trying or just see what happens or stop all together! so confused!
tried to post yesterday, but laptop was playing up!
Megsmum - good luck with the scan today, for you.
Dellydoo - I am lost for words, but please know my thoughts are with you.
to everyone else
AFM - Starting to get a little nervous with my nuchal scan on Monday, this is the final big test for me and just hoping everything works out. I have plans to fly to Cairns on Friday to see my beautiful niece for her 1st birthday, really want to be there for her big event so I'm ok.
larz - GL for Monday. Am sure Bub is doing fine. Can't wait to hear how it all goes cause I just know you're going to be beaming when we hear from you.
The news is all good from me One 20mm follicle and a 10mm one, so we are right to go for the IUI on Sunday! Thank goodness, I thought we'd never get there. Fred has to the most slow growing follicle in history LOL But crikey you should see me now. When she had taken my blood, the nurse put a bandaid on my arm because it had just about stopped bleeding. So I got up picked my handbag and then gushed blood everywhere All over me and the floor! And yesterday I stubbed my little toe on a chair and it's really sore today too. So I now have a hobble and a bandaged arm as well Oh well, we have finally gotten there, so I am very happy and relieved.
larz - All the very best for your scan! Stay positive, all will be well!
21 - I hope the pains are a good sign I've never had anything like that so can't really help, but anything is possible. Good luck!
HannahD - Good on you for telling him, I'm at the stage now where if it comes up I just tell people about my m/c too. I agree with the other ladies, if we just hide it then the subject will always be "taboo". It's amazing (but really sad) the number of ladies who tell you that they have also had one whe you tell them about yours. I hope your cramps ease up soon.
Jen - Thanks for that cycle buddy Will be joining you in the TWW on Sunday - finally!!
dellydoo - I'm so very sorry about your darling Charles hun I wish I could say something to help. All the very best for your FET, you will have a baby to hold soon I'm sure!
mollycat - Stupid AF!! I'm sorry she's knocking you around You'd think she'd know she's not wanted by now!! I get the horrible headaches the first couple of days of AF too, so I know how you feel.
plc - Hi there!
Easha - I hope AF stays away for you!
Hi to everyone else that I've missed! Hope you all have a nice weekend!!
Megsmum - so happy for you, glad everything went well. everything for you during your TWW. Nothing worse than wondering if your are PG or not for 2 weeks, wish they'd discover an extremely early pregnancy test!!
AJC - Thanks for the well wishes, I really do believe everything is fine, but I sometimes wont let myself believe it because I'm worried about jinxing myself. Scan is at 8am so I'll be on here straight away to tell you all the news. Still haven't told my friends, I've been avoiding them as my bb's and tummy are so big it's hard to hide.
My next BT result has come in. E2 was 126 on Tues (after 4 injections). On my increased dose of Puregon, it was 490 this morning (after a further 3 injections). Considered a steady but slow increase.
My guess is I either have a small group of small follies or a couple of developing ones. I have another BT and my first ultrasound on Monday. Decision will likely be made that day as to whether to continue my initial forray into IVF.
Feeling a bit flat - I thought the result might have been higher
mollycat....funny that you mentioned that DH had a bad day..... If I m in tanti mood and I see that DH doesnt look so good... I listen to whats wrong with him.... if my tanti is more important then I tell him it is..... ..... then I tell him when i m finished with my Tanti then he can have his... normally tell him I was in tanti mode first so he will just have to wait his turn..... only one tanti at a time. If his is more important then I put mine on the backburner.... but when it gets brought back out its normally a double tanti scarey stuff
HannahD... I think we all do.....some of us try to be all "mature" and stuff and keep it to ourselves... others..... like myself i must confess.... chuck bigger tanti s
Jenushka...Huge Congrats..... for a smooth 9 months
Easha... Friday nights are Friday nights.... its my social night of the week.... in years gone past it might have meant night clubs or drinkies..... now it means loggin onto the computer to chat to a group of weird women all around the world...... hmmm hold on a sec... i m one of those weird women.... I m in QLD so no time change here.
Milla.... I think its the same for pretty much everyone.... you feel so alone.... My DH, while he isnt to impressed when I dont answer him cause i m busy on here....... loves this site... he knows that without finding this site I wouldnt have managed to the degree that I did. Knowing that your not alone, knowing that you are understood is a vital part of the process. You are treated as if something is wrong with you because you are so destressed...... you feel so bad.... then you find this site and realise those people who were making you feel that there was something wrong with you..... are the ones that have NEVER lost their child or children. They have never been through it. So for those people.... a big tongue sticking out at you (sorry... am I being a 2 year old again...... my bad)
Jen Jen I went a bit over board.... I brought badges for everyone at work to wear...... lol..... "and a part of your uniform on the 15th of October will include a pink and blue ribbon" ohhhhh and I got the diamonti one (yeah ok..correct my spelling teach) I really dont know what to do or how to do it.... but I know that I have to find a way of reaching more women out there. I know I ve got the web site but there has to be another way as well... I just havent found it yet.
BB..... Daylight savings doesnt kick in for us. But just so you dont have to be up toooooo late I ll log on at 9.30 my time so that its still 10.30 for you...... Hopefully I can keep you awake long enough for Jen Jen...... also I hope Krysties MS settles down between 10.30 and 12 tonight.
I have to say I m very open about mine. I have a braclett on that has 2 hearts on it with my sons names on it... it also has 2 sets of booties on it with the twins names on it. If someone asks..... The hearts are for my 2 teenage sons and the booties are for my little angels who didnt make it....... If someone asks me how many children I have...... I have 4....... 19,16 and 2 who didnt make it and went back up above and are waiting for me there..... I dont say it to make the other person uncomfortable... I say it firstly becasue it is my life and its my reality but secondly I say it to get it out there... to get people thinking about it... to get it into their heads that even though I never held my angels in my arms does not stop the fact that they are my babies.
Megsmum...... sooo glad everythign went well for you..... for the IUI ..... the hard thing is the not knowing... the hoping... the expectations.... not to mention those bloody injections Did i tell you that I had to do one at the football semi final...... it was half time at the Melbourne/Brisbane semi final (league)..... DH and I go down to the disable toilets.... where I sit on the damn toilet while he injects me...... ohhh it was soo dignified...one of my many memories that i will ummmmmm... ummmm "cherrish"...... Oh well... the injections hopefully are over for you... other than your trigger..... hopefully those little work out what they are ment to be doing and
Where there's hope.... As with what I said above..... Its not an easy road to be on..... but if you have ANY questions hun... PLEASE ask...... If I dont know then answer then I ll know someone who does..... There are some amaizing people on this site who continue cycle after cycle with IVF..... I know some long termers who are now very very pregnant... I also know many who were successfull on their first cycle..... Dont forget though hun.... the medications... they will mess with your head... and make you feel pretty bad.... just lean on me if you need to.....
Ok... well thats me for persies ... havent done them in a while..... Its strange cause there is no AFM to add to the end... but thats fine.... or maybe I should add... AFM.... its one day at a time.....and each day I m feeling stronger
I just sent you a PM Please please please don't give up hope yet!! I will be over the weekend for lots (but not too many) of follies growing. At least you have had a rise in E2 and have got a bit more time left to do more injecting. Hang in there, and I've got everything crossed for you!!
