Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ September 2006

Hi girls,

just popping in quickly to say hello to everyone and spread a bit of baby dust around again.

Lisa, When are you going to test?? Sending you positive baby thoughts!!

Sez, Thanks for asking about me, im doing pretty good, having stressful days here and there but on the whole things are going well. I am going for my first scan next week so am looking forward to that (and dreading it at the same time). Thinking of you often chicky and i hope that your body sorts itself with a BFP!

Kate, Not sure about the CM? GL though.

Big Hello to everyone else, i hope that you are all well!

Love Sarah xx

Kate, i hope it is implantation!! How many DPO do you think you are?

Kell, awwww poor DH!! I hope he gets better very soon! For the benifit of everyone!!

Lisa, gl Darl!! I hope AF stays away and you are experiencing very early pg symptoms!!

Just went and watched Ten Canoes by myself! LOL ... Dp took the girls to his mum and dads and Alecia is over helping set up for youth group, so I thought, Why not!!??

OK guys I want in! Sorry to intrude but I really just need some advice re: TTC after m/c.
AF has arrived after my second missed m/c nearly five weeks ago. GP sent me for "usual" battery of tests for recurrent m/c and they've all apparently come back normal. I'm scared
s**tless but have to decided I might as well get back on the horse (pun intended!) I have an appmnt with an ob.gyn in November and am wondering if I'm being too impatient by not waiting until after I've seen him??!! :confused: BUT my GP seems to think there;s no reason why I shouldn't try now. I waited five months after the first one and that obviously didn't make a diff! Maybe :crossfingers: this way I'll have something for the specialist to monitor??!!
I'm temping and going to OPK as well to pinpoint O day-- might get GP /to refer for 7dpo prog. test as well? What do you think girls? Am I doing the wrong thing?
Thanks in advance-- Hope you guys can squeeze in one more (I find it easier to read about and talk to BB than my close friends at the mo).

:)

Hey Everybody,

Hope - Welcome to this lovely group of ladies where you'll laugh and cry right alongside with them. I have been in hysterics so many times in this forum and it's my personal favourite! If your Dr sees there is no problems in trying again, then hell girl, get your leg over that horse and ride! LMAO. Also, if you are charting & temping then it's good information/data to take along to the specialist appt in November. I really hope your stay here is short, in the nicest possible way of course. :)

Lisa - You might think that AF is on her way, but guess what? she's not!!!! I just *know*. You cracked me up about your naturopath jumping around exclamining your ovaries are perfect. She sounds really *colourful*.

Tanya - Good on you spending some time to yourself. You deserve it babe! I love the name Violet also but it's strictly off limits as my sister has had dibs on it for YEARS!!! I have a few names up my sleeve myself though. I can't use any more flower names because I had a Lilly cat & a Poppie dog so I can't go naming children any flower names. :doh:

Kate - I sat on the computer nodding my head in agreeance when reading your post. I had mountains of creamy CM until I was around 12 w with this pg. I never noticed it with Jessica but I have had lots this time around and before i found out I was pg I actually thought I was going to O and had read the signs wrong when I actually had O'd. DYKWIM? So, I'm remaining very positive for you honey! Lets hope the HPT is as positive as me!!!

Sez - My chart was crazy with this pg too and FF couldn't identify a O day so I'm really hoping that your chart is going to end up the same as mine!!!! BOL sweet-cheeks.

Michelle - My drinking partner, where are you? I miss our funny chats. Have you delivered any babies at work today? I still think back to that day! How awesome!!! Have you had anybody ever had anyone present themselves in emergency with a bedroom accident??? LMAO. I have so many questions for nurses and doctors, it's a shame I don't have any personal friends who are so I can hassle with my questions! LOL.

Me - I took my first round of belly shots today but I will not be having a pg ticker so I can't post it on there and I don't have a website so I can't post it on there but if anybody wants to have a laugh, send me your e-mail via PM so I can forward it on. I must warn you though, don't look at it before a meal, it will put you off. LMAO. While I was grocery shopping today, Jessica kept on reaching over and pulling my shirt up, when I asked her what she was doing she said 'Show Lady Baby' meaning she wanted to show the checkout lady I had a baby in my belly. How adorable, but how embarrassing too! LOL. I"m not impressed, Jessica woke up at 9:50am this morning after 2 hours up from 4am this morning coughing and so she wouldn't go down for a sleep this afternoon, so just now at 5pm she lays herself down on her winnie pooh couch and is catching some z's! I'm grrrr! There goes my blissful early night while DH is out fishing and she is in bed early! I'm going to be a cow of a mother and wake her up in a minny. That way at least she might go back down around 7:30pm. She's only been asleep 40 minutes, I'll get her up at 6. .

Have a beautiful weekend everybody and lets hope that some eggies and spermies will meet up!!!

Love Jayne

Okay girls, before I get started on personals, I have to tell you that I threw up today! Now I never, and I mean NEVER vomit. I had nausea all day, starting from an hour after I got up, it disappeared before lunch, but then reappeared culminating in me losing my lunch! Mind, you I still felt very sick until about 6pm. Not like like I have a bug, but nauseous and SEEDY. Yes, of course this could be a very good imaginary symptom, and I shouldn't read anything into it, but I can't help myself! Hopeless chick that I am! Still got the creamy cm, which I'm gathering is a good sign? I hardly had any symptoms last time I was pg, only about 5 mins of nausea, and just felt very tired and bloated all the time, so I don't really know what to look for. Still got the crampy pains too, don't know if that is a good thing or not, and have had the tiniest bit of pink in my cm tonight. Also, I tested tonight with my least strong brand of OPK, which normally only gets ANY sort of line when O is just about to happen, and I got a faint line. That did happen last time and it sort of tipped me off. I read about using OPKs as early HPTs on this site, before I ever posted on here! Of course, now I just have to be patient, and wait until a decent testing day (thursday) or until af arrives.

I know I sound like some sort of desperado, but if I can't share with you ladies, then who can I share with?! LOL :p

BBL with personals!

Looking *good* Sez (assuming vomiting is good :rolleyes:). We need some more heading to PAML and you are looking just the ticket!!

Oh Jayney - I miss you so much!!! I am so excited that you are going well and have a nice little tummy to show for it. It would be so lovely to join you on the journey to babyland. I still have my fingers crossed although I am resigned to it not happening. As for the drinking ... half way through a lovely bottle of red :D No more babies lately but yes, I have had some *bedroom incidents* and some other funny stories that amuse us (and usually gross everyone else ;))

A big hello to everyone else and I hope you all have a lovely weekend. Lots of baby dust to you all xx

Hi Girls,
Just trying to catch up on all that I have missed.
Saturday is the only day that I get some time on BB.

Still not up to date with all the replys, but I am still around.
Will be back to have a crack at personals later today.

Sez - I hope you chucking is a fantastic sign!!

Megan - I'm fresh here to, and the girls here are really supportive.

Me - BDing like crazy.

Okay girls, I have convinced myself overnight that I am NOT pg. I think it's just way too much to hope for this crazy cycle, when we weren't even really trying! I guess you all know it's so easy to read into these *symptoms* and I just got carried away yesterday. Didn't I tell you all, once I got to the weekend, I knew I would be a wreck! LOL

Mind you, although I didn't share everything with dh (don't want to get his hopes up too, and you know what males are like - so naive!),I did tell him about me chucking. Once he ascertained that I was okay, he didn't worry about it. About two hours later, he was in the shower and he called out to me. He asked "did we finally agree on ---- as the boys name?" I couldn't believe it! We haven't discussed anything like that for months! So I think he must be hopeful for this cycle too, but daren't ask too much!

Okay, will DEFINITELY BBL for personals today!

Sez honey - things are sounding pretty good. I'm still extremely hopeful that this is going to end in a BFP for you - sometimes things happen so much easier when you're not REALLY trying! It's so hard when it gets to that last week before testing - so many *symptoms* start appearing and all. Hang in there, we're all here for you!

Paige - Great to hear from you again and hope all is well.

Hope everyone else is well. I'm not bad today - have a bit of hayfever but other than that, feeling quite positive. Actually got some good sleep last night, for once, so all is great.

Will BBL for some more personals!

Kelly xx

I hope everyone is enjoying this wonderful weekend!

Lisa, you haven't mentioned testing yet. Are you going to test tomorrow? Please tell me to rack off if you're wanting to keep it quiet! It's just that I'm so nervous and excited for you! I am really :pray: that it all happens for you this cycle.

Tanya, don't worry about jinxing me. I think I jinx myself! If this month isn't it, I'm going to start temping vaginally cos I'm sick of FF screwing up my O date. Maybe they are right, but I really have a good gut feeling on these things, and I usually trust my instincts. I must look into the pregnow tests, I take it they are online? I hope af has arrived! Good on you for going to the flicks, I love going on my own! (very antisocial, I know) Was the film good?

Kate, I'm sure those rabbits are purely green! Congratulations, and enjoy your anniversary. I can't wait for our 1st wedding anniversary! I think I'm going to have to renegotiate our test date. You'll see why at the end of my post.......Your symptoms are sounding pretty ace, so I hope you're willing to reconsider!

Sarah, what day is your scan? I want to know so I can be thinking of you at the time! All the best sweetie, can't wait to hear the results! BTW I seriously hope you are enjoying that beautiful weather over there! It's gorgeous here today too, but you know how much I love WA!

Hope, if I were you, I would be going for it! As you said, waiting didn't help you last time, and you'll feel so much better if you can get back into it again (take it from someone who knows!) Ultimately, it's your decision. You will know when you are ready to ttc again. If that's now, then get bding girlfriend!

Jayne, thanks for telling me about your crazy chart....look at you now! Jessica sounds sooooooo adorable!

Great to hear from you Michelle, I hope it was a *good* vomit too! I hope you are going well, enjoy that wine! I think I'm going to miss it next time! Last time it didn't bother me one iota, but I have gotten quite into wine of late (seeking solace at the bottom of a bottle LOL!) so I think it might be more difficult!

Paige, good to hear from you, glad that you are bding like crazy! Those spermies and eggie will have no chance but to meet up and get it on! Where do you live?

Kelly, I'm so glad to hear you sounding happy and relaxed! What day have you moved your u/s to?

Belle, it must almost be O time! I'm sure you're getting in heaps of practice this weekend! With the sticks and the BD ROFL!

Well, I am in that stage of changing my mind about what's happening evey two minutes. I bought five , yes FIVE different brands of HPTs while I was out today, so clearly I am still holding out some hope! (just remembered I also have some lullaby ones here too!!!!) The nausea started up again at about 10am and it is getting progressively worse. I hope it doesn't end in another chuck! As I didn't have any m/s last time, I don't know if that's what this is. It comes in waves, I sort of forget about it, and then it hits me again. I have this feeling in my mouth like I've sucked on a lemon! Weird! Less of the creamy cm today, but it's defintiely still there. The thing that's really making me wonder is the cramps I'm having. Sometimes they're still like af cramps, but I'm also getting some *stretching* pains (only way I can describe it) which are sort of like I had last time. In fact, after pushing a very heavy trolley around Bunnings earlier they got quite bad, which I remember happening previously. It's like my body telling me to rest IYKWIM.

Gosh, after reading that I really hope I get a BFP, otherwise I have some imagination! Please don't write me off as loopy........not yet anyway! Is anyone else this bad in the tww?
I'm now thinking that six different brands is overkill, wouldn't you agree? I'm just such a POAS addict! When should I test????????

Love to all my girlies, Sez xoxo

Hi Sez,

I just have to say...you are absolutely fantastic!!! You're certainly not loopy and probably don't remember that I was TERRIBLE during the tww - particularly towards the end!!! It's the most difficult time but you do have to try and trust your instincts. Its funny how you start second guessing yourself though isn't it. After some of the things I posted in here, I was so scared when testing but it all worked out in the end. Just like I know it will for you!!! Try and hang in there and test whenever you're ready to test. We're all here to hold your hand. It is difficult getting a BFN when testing too early though, so bear that in mind. I wish I had of waited a little longer before testing - now it's completely stressed me out with my dates and all but you get that. At the time, I think I was worse than you - so just do what you feel is right and go with it!!!! No-one could have told me to wait and finally getting the BFP was just wonderful - it was nice to know I could trust my instincts again!!!!

It's certainly sounding good for you though and I'm praying that you're going to announce a BFP really soon.

Well, not much is happening around my place today. DH is out mowing the lawn like the good husband that he is!! The bloody lawnmower died today, so we had to go buy a new one - not good but we've got heaps of lawn (or should I say weeds), so we really did need it!! The weather is still gorgeous but I think it's going to turn ugly tonight, damn it. I've been loving the sunshine.

I'm still feeling pretty good about everything. Don't quite know how I'm going to get through next week but hopefully it will go really fast. My next scan is Tuesday week and I just can't wait to get it over with. I think we've told far too many people that I'm pg, so we're getting lots of calls and messages asking how everything is. It's starting to stress me out. Either way I can't seem to win. When I don't tell people I sit there stressing about lying to them and desperately want to share our news so they don't think I'm a completly loopy, then when we do tell people, I feel all this pressure to keep the little thing growing!! Crazy stuff. Nah, not letting it get to me as much at the moment, so all good. Might go have a nap on the couch and prepare myself for the big footy match this afternoon - after the Dockers win last night, the Eagles better play well - we just couldn't handle it over here if the Dockers won and the Eagles lost. I do love them both though but my hearts definitely with the Eagles!!!!

Take care everyone - I know I promised to do personals but I just don't seem to have the energy at the moment - sorry!!!!

Kelly xxxx

Hi,

We just lost our baby to an ect pregnancy and my right tube and I was told that I should give my body 4-6 months before ttc. I know that it has only been 3.5 weeks since it happened and I haven't even had my first AF (sorry tmi), BUT I don't think I can wait that long. Does anybody have any advice?? Thank you for listening.

Thanks for the warm welcome Jayne and Sez!
It's really comforting to know I can embark on this journey with others who've had similar experiences. I just know I'll be a mess when I am preggers again-- after two missed m/c's and no previous bubs (the cat and dog don't count right?) I can't say I have much faith in my bod to do what it is supposed to do. I actually kind of wished my tests had shown something so that there would at least be a "plan of attack" next time around. BUT I'm once again getting ahead of myself-- before I start worrying about being UTD I need to actually get duffed. So here we go again!

Jayne- Jessica sounds like a doll!! Hope she didn't kip for too long this arvo and dream about how she's going to "party" all night!

Sez- Bestest luck for a :bfp: and a nice sticky bubba!

Lisa............HELLO (((echo))) Are you there, or are you hiding?!!!!!!!!

Where is everyone else this weekend? It sure is a quiet one!

Thanks for reassuring me Kelly! I feel better, but still like a bit of a loop!

Hope, I definitely count my staffy as my baby.......in fact I call her my baby girl all the time! I know what you mean about the test results, but honestly, it really is for the best that they all came back okay. GL getting duffed hun!

Welcome Kez! I don't know about the waiting time after an ectopic, but I sure understand your impatience - I think I'm the president of that club! I have a great friend who suffered an ectopic though, I'll ask her what she was told. Lisa might be able to help you too.......if she ever arrives! (JK Lisa!) If you DO have to wait awhile, please hang around in here. I'm supposedly not ttc yet (not that you'd know!) but I have found the gals in here to be just fantastic, so supportive and wonderful.

Well I am one hungry hungry hippo! Even though I ate a really good dinner last night (despite feeling sick, in fact still felt sick when I went to sleep) I woke up at 5am STARVING. I managed to hold out until 6.30am to eat brekky, but then couldn't go back to sleep! Just waiting to see if the nausea kicks in again today. Cramping has settled, is that a good or bad thing? :dunno: Trying to be patient, but have now reached the foot tapping stage...............fidget fidget! Well, I'm going to go and buy a new telly today, so that should distract me for awhile! And I might hit Eastland or Knox while I'm at it! Maybe I could buy some more HPTs? JK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No, really, I think I need a new ensemble for the races. Although, if I'm going to be pg I'll have to think about what sort of dress.....see, no matter what I do it always comes back to the tww!

Happy Sunday lovelies!

Morning Lovelies,

Scanlon is having his morning sleep and I am feeling reasonably good.

Hope all are well.

Kelly - As far as telling people go, my approach has been that I have told every body about my 2 M/C, so I might as well tell people about pregnancy. I did not wait the "standard"12 weeks (except at work). It can be a bit stressful when everyone is asking all the time though!

Sez - 2 of my 3 pregnancies started with SEVERE cramping on the day AF was due. I was so sure that I was not pregnant. This included the pregnancy that resulted in "Mr Moo" as we call him! Based on my experience, I'm hoping its a good thing for you.

Kate - I know you posted your question re a possible implantation bleed a few days ago. What you described sounds like what I attributed to an implantation bleed. Fingers crossed.

Hope - Hi there. I hope hanging out here will ease your pain some. It has for me. One of my M/C was missed. I had to have a D&C, and DH and I did not wait to TTC again. AF came 6 weeks after D&C, and that month Scanlon was coneived. As far as "other" babies go, I count my 2 Jack Russells, Chester and Ruby as my babies. They gave me a lot of comfort after my first M/C. Dogs are so intuitive. They knew something was wrong and just wanted to sit on my lap all the time, it was beautiful.

Kez - Sorry for your loss. I dont have any advice about ectopic, all I can say is be kind to yourself.

Today is CD10 and DH and I are working on our BD. What approach do you guys take? Do you go "like rabbits" or do you take a slow and steady approach? Previously we have BD'ed on CD 8 10 12 14 16 18. What do you think about this?
Also wondering if any of you have come across many women who have been breastfeeding children when they are pregnant with a new baby?
I am still BF Scanlon, and though my Dr says it does not matter, BF causes the uterus to contract after birth, so I think it stands to reason that this may increase the risk of mc.
Any ideas?

Sorry to the people I missed,

Ciao for now.

Paige Hi & welcome to the group (I'm just hanging around a bit at the moment instead of full on posting due to some waiting issues). When we fell last time we DTD every second day from CD10 to CD20 just to make sure & it worked!! Here's wishing you all the very best for this month.

Huge hi to all you wonderful women, I am stalking you all & your progress but for my own peace of mind I am a little absent in posting. Just need to get my head around a couple of things first & then I'll be back full time (well as soon as we get the green light to TTC again anyway!)

Hopefully this place will be soooooo empty by the time I get back in here.

Best of luck ladies.

Hi Ladies,

I hope you're all having a lovely weekend!!

Sez - It's still sounding really good for you honey!! I'm so sure you're going to be announcing a BFP later this week!!! I've got a beautiful staffy aswell - aren't they just the greatest dogs!!!

Paige - I think you've just go to do what's right for you in the BD'ing department!! DH and I just went for it like rabbits but also tried not to do it if we really didn't feel like it, I didn't want him to feel completely used and abused (although he loved it and now regrets not taking advantage of it even more as I'm far too worried all the time for any of that now!!)

Hope - I'm not sure if I welcomed you or not, so if I didn't - welcome honey - you'll find the most amazing women in here - so supporting and caring. I also had a missed m/c and now being pg again is just so stressful, so when it does happen again for you, I'll be here!! I didn't have any symptoms last time and so didn't know when I'd lost the bub, that's whats freaking me out the most, I just keep wondering if everything is ok and going to have a scan is just the worst!!! Not much I can do though, but be patient and positive!! Oh and I DEFINITELY consider my goregous staffy as my baby!! I always call him my beautiful little boy (and we're mummy and daddy to him!!) - they're the best!!!

Kez - Welcome!! I'm afraid I'm not sure about the wait after an ectopic either but do wish you all the best honey! It's such a difficult time and we're all here for you! I feel that as much as it's important to take the advice of your doctor, you also need to do whats right for you. GL.

Kate - How are you going honey?? I hope af stays away for you - when will you test, are you still thinking you might do it on Thursday? I'm praying for you and we'll all here for you babe!!

It sure has been quite in here over the weekend.

Tanya - How are you going sweety? You still haven't told us if the movie you saw was any good??

Lisa - Hope all is well and I'm praying that af hasn't arrived!! Please let us know how you're going!!!

Megan - How are you going?? I've been thinking about you and hope that all is well. It's very weird to say but I do hope af has arrived in full force so you can confidently start the ttc journey again.

Belle - I don't think we've heard from you for a while either - how are you?? Do you think you've O'd yet?? I hope you're busy getting heaps of BDing in!!!

Shell - How are you going?? You must be on top of the world still about your great scan - it's just wonderful. Bet you can't wait to see your gorgeous little bub again soon!! Take care.

Sarah - How are you going?? I hope the weekend has been a good one. Have you started getting any more m/s yet?? I'm still feeling fine, which really sucks!!! I can't help but worry a little. Trying to stay positive and even had a really good dream last night about our bub but I'm scared to tell you all now because someone mentioned if you tell people, the dream won't come true - and it was a really good one!!!!!

Jayne - I hope you've had a lovely weekend and that Jessica is feeling a little better. She sounds like such a cutie - I just loved reading about her pulling up your shirt to show everyone your tummy!!!!

I'm so sorry if I've missed anyone and hope that you're all wonderfully well.

I'm ok again today. Just wishing the week away to get closer to my next scan. Was feeling a little down again yesterday afternoon - until the Eagles won!!!! Very exciting stuff over here in WA. DH still isn't feeling too well but at least I've been sleeping a little better!!! He's just gone down to the beach for a surf, hoping that the salt water will clear his sinuses a little, so he should be feeling a bit better when he gets home. Then he's promised that we'll go hire some DVD's and lie on the couch!! Can't wait - we NEVER to that. I have a DH that just can't sit still - he always has to be doing something, which is great and bad all at the same time!!

Take care everyone. I'm back at work tomorrow (yuck!) so may not be able to post as much - damn it. It's been so great keeping up with everything!!

Kelly xxxx

I'm really hoping that a whole lot of you ladies are going to spring up and say SURPRISE! tomorrow, and announce BFPs! Obviously, I am having a quiet weekend..........

Well, the cramps have pretty much gone, but I still have a few stretchy pains. Just a little nausea this afternoon, but not nearly as much as Friday and yesterday, and it only just started. I don't understand why I'm fine in the morning, but then feel sick as the day goes on????? Anyhow, still have a bit of really thick creamy cm, so I am holding out some hope, but not a lot. Don't feel like af is coming, but don't really feel pg either. If af doesn't arrive by Wednesday I think I might have to test then. Will talk to dh about it. Probably should wait until Thursday, but I don't think I can hold out that long! And I know dh will just say TEST which is why I haven't discussed it with him yet!

Hope you are all going marvellously well. I was about to go out into the garden.....but it's started to rain! Bloody Melbourne weather, it was beautiful this morning! Never mind it will just have to wait. Mind have to find some chocolate mmmmm..........

ETA by the time I am finishing this post the nausea is kicking in a bit more! I wish my body would just do one thing or the other..........maybe I won't have the chocolate after all :(

Oooooh Sez sounds like you need to POAS honey!!

Desperately Kirsty! But I'm too scared of getting a BFP from doing it too early!

BTW it's great to see you around, can't wait til you can ttc and join us FT! Good luck with everything :hug:

Hi everyone,
I've been lurking for quite some time so I'm quite familiar with you all but haven't posted, a little slack. :rolleyes: haven't even changed ticker yet which is wrong.
Good luck for everyone.
Just needed to say :crossfingers: to you Sez, I hope you get a bfp this week, I keep checking in to see whether you have tested yet or not, I can't wait too much longer, it's killing me. This may be our next journey we spend together. Good luck
:hug:

Hi all,
Gee its been busy in here this weekend! I had lunch with all my girlfriends yesterday and i actually did it pretty tough - two 1 year olds, one 3 month old and my best friend is 8 months pregnant. I couldn't help letting the jealousy leak in as its the first time we have all been together since i m/c, couldn't help with the "it's not fair" thoughts! I have been spotting now for a few days, and i actually nearly threw up the other day too and my nips are red raw! My body is ridiculous and i have no idea what is going on. I just wish af would come so i could get back on the wagon! I am on holidays for two weeks so i will be checking in with everyone regularly....i hope all those "signs" result in BFP's. Enjoy your week everyone!

Lilylou, it's so good to hear from you! Thanks for dropping in. It means alot. What's going on with you? I really hope we can be belly buddies together! Please come around again :hug:

Megan, you poor thing! I know, it's so hard going to these things! It's perfectly normal to feel a bit jealous, I'm sure your friends understand. Know that we are here for you whenever you need to vent, and most of all, know that one day you WILL have your own bubba to hold. And then you'll have to eat one-handed LOL! I hope af arrives soon for you sweets..........

ETA, Lilylou, I just re-read your post.....are you trying to tell me that you're pg???!!!

Hey Sezjm,
Had you going there for a little while, but, unforunately, no I'm not pregnant. Didn't realise till after I posted it looked that way
I'm on day 12, thought I would get a + OPK today but it wasn't, may do one more tonight. If I knew how to put my chart up, I would show your?? I was going to try Tanya's boy diet this month but never got around to it, although I did buy cranberry juice, but was pretty shi**y with everyone here because they drank it on me :angry: It's so expensive.
I had weird cycle last month like you and Belle, mine was weird because it was almost textbook perfect? Ovulated on day 13/14 and had a 13 day LP which is not normally me :confused: I normally o late and have shortish LP's. Perfect cycle but didn't end in pregnancy. The ttw was one of the worst, I was testing everyone 5 seconds, stressed myself out bad. This month I will try to not be so impatient and relax a bit about it, if that is possible :p
Better go, everytime dp wants me, I'm on computer, I can tell he is sooo sick of it, like I'm having this affair with it:rolleyes:

Hello my loves -sorry have been mia for a few days but no pc and now im at my cousins and thought id steal a quick minnie to say hi. Sorry no time to catch up on personals - I will do that tomorrow I promise :)

Ok af was due around the 16th - still no show. Im having af symptoms on and off and still feeling queasy (sp?) but I did do a hpt on the weekend and it was a bfn. So im going to hold off until thursday and if af doesnt show then i'll do another hpt.

Thank you all for asking after me,
luv hugs and bfp's to you all!

Hello All,

What a bunch of busy bee's you all have been over the weekend!

Lisa - I was wondering where you were. I'm sorry about the bfn hun, but test again on Thursday, I think that might be your day!

Sez - You have had me in stitches girl! You're so funny! You think exactly like I do and then you post it and think I'm going to look like an idiot if nothing eventuates. I have to tell you, it's all looking mighty fine to me and hooly dooly on the 5 HPT's! Did you buy them all from one store? I would have bought them all separately so I didn't look strange! LOL.

Lilylou - Tell me about the price of Cranberry Juice. I really like it and I used to buy it for Jess because she had some kidney problems and it's meant to be good for UTI's which we had to avoid like the plague because of her kidney's and I found I would drink the whole bottle in two days. I ended up stopping buying it because Jess went off it and I was right onto it!

Megan - You're completely normal having those thoughts about your gf's. YOu wouldn't be human if you didn't think that way. It was a really brave and outstanding thing you did accepting the lunch invitation, it shows a lot of courage and you're the better person because of it! Good on you honey!

Kelly - Guess where my referral for my next scan is? Yep, MURDOCH! I knew that place was still going! I'm being sent there so I can have a 3d scan and he said it's the best place for the anatomy scan. He said there, West Leederville or Attadale. So sounds like we're both on a winner!

Me - Got my results back from the 12w scan. The ratio was a 1:18,894 chance of a problem so he's pretty happy with that. I'm off to have my anatomy scan next which will be when I'm 19w and then an appt and then booking into the hospital. I just can't believe it's still happening. I noticed a big diff with the Ob today, he was more chatty and very happy with my progress and I felt a bit more comfortable with him. Considering he's going to be looking right up my hoo-haa I need to feel comfortable with him! IYKWIM? Jessica is much better thanks for asking but damn she has been one major BRAT today. She even tells me 'Jessica naughty girl'. grrrrr. We'll get there.

Big hello's to everybody!

Love Jayne

Hi Girls,

Hope, Welcome to this lovely group, i am very sorry for all that you have been through.

Sez, Oh honey, you are rivaling me in the stress stakes just kidding. You know that it is entirely normal to feel the way that you are feeling and more or less we all feel the same. Things are sounding really good though - how are you feeling today? You said you are not sure about morning sickness, well it does sound exactly how you are describing it. It does come in waves and can be different in intensity from day to day. I have everything crossed for you! My scan is next Monday (i will be 7w 4d) thanks for asking.

Kelly, Go the Eagles, i am like you in that i love both the eagles and the dockers but my heart lies with the Eagles! Rowan and my dad are going to Melbourne for a week to go to the grandfinal lucky buggers!

Kez, I am sorry for your loss and you have found a great group!

Paige, You asked about breatfeeding and pregnancy...One of my good friends in my mothers group has 2 kids (14 month age gap). The first one is 18 1/2 months and the second is 4 1/2 months. She is still breastfeeding her first aswell as her second and has been very successful in this. She got pregnant straight after her first period returned. The only thing of significance that i can remember her saying is that after Lavender (her second) was born her milk became much more creamy etc as it had been thin like Water before Lavender was born and that Elowyn (her first) wanted to breastfeed more since Lavender was born. Hope this helps you somewhat.

Megan, I think that you are incredibly brave going to lunch with your friends. Any of us here would have found that really hard so you deserve a big pat on the back for making it through!

Lisa, Oh honey i was hoping for good news from you today and i guess in away that i got it. From what i know so far you are always right on time with AF so it HAS to be a good sign that it is late, Im sorry about the BFN and am so so hoping it turns into a BFP for you in the next few days!

Hi to everyone else how are you all doing?

Love Sarah xx

My oh my isn't it quiet in here today? I think I've scared everyone off LOL!

Belle, how was your weekend hon? Hope you had a good time;)

Lisa, so glad you're okay. Thanks for the quick post. Sorry about the BFN hon, but don't give up yet, it's such a good sign that af hasn't showed her ugly mug! I'm hearing you on the nausea, it's yucky! (Not that I'm complaining LOL!) Can't wait for Thursday sweets.......:hug: I'll be holding your hand all the way!

Sarah, I really didn't think I'd be this *obsessed*. Imagine what I'll be like if I really am UTD LOL! Doesn't bear thinking about.......Thanks for the m/s tips too. Just think, one week from now, you will have seen your little bubba YAY! I'm so excited for you (will be holding your hand too, I know you'll be nervous. In fact Lisa, you'd better get your BFP by Monday so my hands can fly over to Perth to help out Sarah!!!!)

Jayne, so glad I can entertain! I know what you mean about *posting before I think*! But it just makes me feel so much better to get it out there IYKWIM? Good results from your scan, that's great! I'm so pleased you're feeling more comfy with your Ob, it's so important (as you would know). I can't wait to see mine again, he's a doll! Hope Jessica starts being *Jessica good girl*again!

Sorry, no more personals girls, I know that's very slack of me but I'm BUGGERED! Big hi and :hug: to everyone though.

Well after discussion with DH, I think tomorrow is testing day! Sorry Kate, but you never showed up LOL! Still having nausea as we speak, still have creamy cm, and today I've had cramps that have had me convinced that af is around the corner, but I know that can be a good thing too. So unless af shows overnight, I will be POAS at about 5.30am Eeeeeek! Andy goes to work early, and I don't want him to miss out, and think I should definitely use FMU since it's so early (to test I mean). Will go back to bed and then post before going to work.

See you in the morning........

Lots of love Sez xoxo

Hello!!

I hope everyone is well. Sorry, don't have much time but just wanted to wish Sez all the very best for the big test in the morning!!! I'm praying that it results in a BFP for you BUT if it doesn't, remember not to get too down - it is early for you, so it might just be too early for the BFP!!! I just know it's going to come up for you though!!!! GL.

Lisa - Great to hear from you too - things are sounding pretty good. Remember I got a BFN before I got the BFP too, so hang in there - we're all here for you and I'm sooo thinking that Sez and yourself are going to have nice BFP's by the weekend!!!

Hope everyone else is well. I'm not too bad - very, very, very busy at work, so not worth having holidays!!!!! Can't wait for next week - I'm hanging out for my next scan. Oooohh that reminds me - GL for your scan Sarah - can't believe you're going to Murdoch - so strange. Not to worry - West Leederville were good to me last time (even though they confirmed I'd lost the baby) - very scary stuff.

I'm thinking of you all.

Good morning girls!

Well, I think I can VERY tentatively announce a :bfp: !

Tested with Fortel Ultra using FMU and I have a VERY faint line. Since dh has gone to work have retested with Crystal Clear and have another VERY faint line! In fact both of them are so faint I keep wondering if I'm imagining it, and then I see it again. So I won't be doing much heavy celebration yet - especially as I have been awake since 4am! I'll wait til I get a darker line before getting carried away. Now I know what everyone means when they say to wait! I'm feeling quite nervous now - am I or aren't I? And dh thinks I am, but now that it's happened I think he's quite nervous and although happy, is going on about how we were supposed to wait! Poor man!

Anyhow, I'll keep on waiting, and let you all know what happens. Hope you all have a great day! (Only two sleeps to go Lisa......!)

Big :hug: Sez xoxo

Congrats Sez, what did i say!!!

Talk soon and lots of love, LOU

Wooo hooo Sez!!! A positive is a positive sweety. Check again in a few days and get that dark line smiling back at you. Well done you clever girl!!

Now Lisa ...... have you POAS yet?? There are plenty of us ready to hold your hand when you do. :hug:

Hello, it's that crazy obsessed girl back again......I just tested with Discover and found a faint but definitely there line! YAY! I just don't think I can let myself believe it IYKWIM!

Yayaayayay Sez!!! Congratulations! Heaps and heaps of Stickies coming your way!!

Lisa... Oooerrrrrrrr... I hope AF hasn't showed up! Thursday seems so far away ;) I hope you can jump back online and update us.... GL :D

Had a good w/e. We had a Party for Talk Like Pirate Day (which is actually today!)... so I got a little bit ****y eyed! First time in a veeerrry long time!
AF Due on Saturday.... I wish it would hurry up so I can get on with it ;)

Tanya

:happyforyou: CONGRATULATIONS SEZ!!!

A positive is definitely a positive, no matter how faint the line. Sounds like exactly what happened to me (only I got a BFN first) - a really faint line on the Sunday morning, then retested on Tuesday, just to make sure and got a darker line!!! It's definitely a BFP - how exciting!!! :confetti:

Kelly xxxx

Congrats Sez....couldn't wait hey?:p ....am thrilled for you.

Sorry girls, can't hang around - I'm so flat out today (already!). Just wanted to drop in and say hi.

Take care all,

Luv & hugs,

Kate x.

Woohoo Sez, congrats to you on your BFP

Morning Girls......

Sez....YAY...congratulations hun...a very well deserved BFP. GL and wishing you a H & H pregnancy....the best news i could here fist thing in the morning after not being on for a few days.

DH got a new job so we're heading back to Melbourne. He'll stay with family until we find a house and then i'll come down, so we've been busy packing the house and getting things organised for the big move...

Saturday was our angels 2nd EDD birthday, and i was okay. Shed a few tears with DH in the morning but kept busy with the packing and stuff, which helped out heaps. The last 2 years we've had really lazy days so i think i was thinging about it constantly and getting myself into a real state, so this year it was a lot easier...still hurts, no matter what, as you would all know, but i think from now on, it'll be jam packed days full of fun for our little one.

My gf also had a baby Sunday morning, so i've spent the last 2 days looking after her other two kids and spending lots a time at the hospital with them, which was lovely. Another perk of having the kids was that we actually went into the delivery room about an hour and a half after she gave birth so the kids could be the first to meet their little sister and i got a cuddle....the newest baby yet, so that was really nice to be able to share that with them....

AF still hasn't showed up for me yet, having lots and lots of creamy CM, really sore bb's and cramping on and off....keep doing HPT's, but still BFN....although i haven't done one in a week or so and that's been about how long the bb's have been killing me....maybe i should do another one, just in case...hhmmmm....knowing my luck it will be BFN again and a waste of a test....oh well...not much i can do about it hey!!!!

Okay girls....hopefully i'll be able to get on a bit more...but i just had to jump on and try and catch up before you girls really left me behind....love you all and i'm thinking of you always...

Oh yeah....hi to all you newbies....mwah...xxxxxxx

Hi Sez :hug:
Congratulations, that is fantastic news. Wishing you all the best for the next 9 months.

CONGRATULATIONS SEZ! :)
The first BFP since I've been in here...well done (see you weren't loopy after all!)
It is definately positive so enjoy it, can't wait to hear all the details in the next few weeks!! YAAAAAY!
I have been a busy bee in the last few days! We had a new bedroom setting delivered and because DH is at work, and I'm holidays i was in charge! Needless to say the house is now covered in boxes and sticky tape and there is polystyrene (spelling??) stuck to everything including me! But it looks good!
Sorry i am hopeless with the personals i am still getting to know everyone and i nearly have to take notes as i'm going to remember who says what! I will get there, but thanks everyone for the support and advice.
Still no AF, just some very brief spotting, and i don't know whether to count that as af or not cos the ob. said my first one would be heavy after the D & C. But my temp dropped heaps so it seemed like it was coming. Honestly i am so confused and feel so helpless to do anything as it is all out of my control. The frustration! Does anyone have any clues as to where i might be in a cycle??? :help:
Good work again Sez, and good luck to all of those growing little ones, and those (like me!) who are still trying!
Love Megan
