    krystie ..... they are outstanding bfp's - good work! Unfortunately you are now entering the 8ww and it's going to feel like a very long road until you pass 12 weeks but you CAN do it - just breathing is really the only thing at this stage! Hang onto all of your positivity from yesterday when you were determined to enjoy every minute of this pg ... last time I was pg I stopped temping but kept poas like a maniac after I got my bfp! Whatever gets us through though I guess. And we are all here for you...

    AFM - AF is here! Never thought I'd be so happy to see the old witch show up.... my body felt very out of whack after this d&c and was really worried as I had had bleeding/spotting almost the entire 5 weeks since. Today I feel really positive and it certainly does feel like a new beginning. DH and have decided to pretty much ttc, though not too manically this month but still... why not?

    So I unveil for your viewing pleasure my chart and ttc ticker below The ticker is one day out because the ticker site wouldn't let me have 8 Sept as the first day of lmp as it's in the future (crazy Americans!). I'll fix it tomorrow...

    I'm back!!


    Love, hugs and

    xx

    Jenushka - I agree with the "crazy americans" statement for 3 reasons:

    1. It wouldn't let you live in the future with your ticker.

    2. At around 2-3pm in the afternoon my ticker adds a day prematurely because the American site doesn't let me choose my time zone!

    3. Because they kicked Will of So You Think You Can Dance and I haven't been interested in watching it since!

    Anyway, so glad AF is here for you and that you are (bravely) trying to conceive again. Good luck honey!!!

    Joey - Don't forget a plasma screen!!!

    Fab 2/3 - Just wanted to thank you both again because I loves you both

    Good morning lovely ladies! I have SO much to catch up on since I posted last! I didn't even get to finish yesterday's persies, because DF stole my computer last night!! Will have to go back a few pages, so it may take me some time, but I'm convinced I can get it done!

    Woo hoo! Just want to start out by saying that I got my coverline!! :woot: That first OPK I did must've been a positive! And I O'ed on my EDD, so I'm really hoping that my angel baby was watching over me and will send me my miracle BFP!! As far as BD'ing goes, I think we got all the bases covered this month... even got a high conception score again--but this time got some the day after O, as well, and in all the other mo's of TTC, we never got any BD'ing in on that day....so hopefully..... I've decided that I can't just let Krystie be all alone in a belly belly group, so she's keeping a warm place for me there!

    Ok, going to read thru the posts real quick.... be back soon!

    Emmykate-- I'm so sorry for the loss that brings you to our humble little thread! After my m/c (no D&C) I bled for a week, then had my first cycle 25 days later... it's progressively gotten back to normal, but it takes time. It also took my body about 6 weeks for my hcg levels to return to normal, which was very confusing, as my body still felt like it was pg! I tried for 2 mo's to just chart my CM, but wasn't able to determine when I was O'ing, so I began taking my temps every morning, and also started using OPK's in the last 2 mo's. I warn you that this can become very addicting! But it's nice to actually see on a chart where I'm at in my cycle, where as before it was always in question--now I know what's going on with my body! I think it's a great idea if you decide to begin charting, it's really very helpful--and kinda fun, too! I that your TTC journey is short and sweet, and you're blessed with a sticky BFP!!!



    plc--Aww, sorry I missed you in chat last night!! Was waiting for you this am with Krystie, but you must've been a sleepy mama! I've got an awfully long swim ahead of me to get there in time for your dinner date with Angel and Krystie--better get a move on! Sending lots of



    mollycat--Congrats on your Bridesmaid status! What an honor!



    megsmum--Anyone who wasn't TTC might think you were some sort of addict after reading your post! lol... "popping your last pill" and "sniffing Synarel".... sure doesn't sound like anything TTC-related, does it? Wishing you the best of luck for this cycle, and saying mega for your BFP!!!

    Leyza--Sorry to hear your DS is sick! Hope he feels better soon!



    fifi--Sorry to hear that you hurt your back! Hope the bed rest helps! If nothing else, then at least enjoy being waited on--that doesn't happen very often!



    chappas--How exciting for your DD to be going to school! What will you do with your alone time? Hope you take advantage of it, and get some enjoyment from it!



    Angel Nuff of the Nuff Nuff's-- I thought the very same thing when I saw the cycle list and the way Pill Girl just kinda snuck her name onto the pg'cy list!! She's a sneaky little one, isn't she? Like she thought we wouldn't notice!!

    Hope you're feeling better.... and I hope you get your internet at home fixed real quick-like! It's too much to go without a dose of Angel a day.... Isn't there some saying...."an angel a day keeps the blues away"??? Ok, so I made that one up, but it still sounds good, and it rhymes at least!!



    Hannah-- I'm sorry to hear of your loss... I pray you find comfort and support from the great girls here--they're absolutely the BEST!! Good luck with your TTC journey--I pray your stay here with us is short and sweet!

    OK, time for some personals - DD is at preschool and all my work is done for the day

    Angel Babies - Hope you are feeling better soon. I hate getting sick in the TWW, I have been about 3 times this year.

    Krystie and Jen - I can change my sig to pill popping, snorting and shooting up if you like!!! Oh and I'm not needle phobic at all Krystie LOL I'm diabetic too and have been on insulin since 2003, so have lots of experience with jabbing myself with needles Jen - Yay for getting to the TWW! Good luck this month, I hope the O day on your EDD ( by the way) is a good sign

    Mannie - Glad you are feeling better now, all the best!

    larz - Oh I remember that feeling, I had 8 weeks of it when I was pg with DD. Never puked once, but felt like I was going to all the time! Hope it gets better for you soon.

    Babyfever - Good luck this month! You know with the HCG injection that it hurts a lot less if you take it out of the fridge for about 10 mins or so before you use it, and inject it really slowly? That's how I've been doing mine and they don't hurt much at all - HTH

    Joey - OMG, at least the police caught them! You DH was on the ball wasn't he? LOL at getting the three hours sleep, that's dedication for you

    Ruthie - Good luck for tomorrow!

    to anyone else that I have missed.

    AFM, just snorting my Synarel still and hoping that AF shows up tomorrow so that I can start injections this Thurs instead of having to wait until next Thurs, although I'm sure she won't. My clinic have this thing with IVF where they get everyone to start injections on a Thurs and if AF doesn't arrive in time, then you have to wait until the next Thurs. I'm sure that's what will happen to me, so a bit more waiting still before we get the show fully on the road, oh well....bring on the 18th! And the other bummer about it it is that my embryo transfer will be (if all goes to plan) around about the 1st anniversary of my last mc - 2nd Oct. Don't know whether that's a good sign or a bad sign a little ironic at the very least I think??

    KL - Plasma

    Smilanatu - oh honey

    Jen - How you doin? Thanks for the GL. Glad you've got a cover line, but where is mine!?!

    AFM - We had an almost break in last night. Geez. I woke to DH saying something like "You right?!" I woke up and he had his head stuck out our bedroom window. Seems he was awoken when he heard the window open, opened his eyes to see a torch shining in our window (two story house - one would have had to been on the others shoulders!)

    So we called the police and they brought the dog squad around to chase the smell, and they picked two young guys up, but don't know what happened from there. Imagine if DH hadn't woken up!! I wake up if DD steps one foot in our bedroom, but this strage noise didn't wake me? Ahhhhh!!

    I refuse to lock all the windows at night and live in a jail, I just hope they don't come back. Anyway put my meditation on my iPod and after than fell back to sleep quite easily - I had to, I needed 3 hours sleep so I could temp!!!

    Take care girls.

    Well, girls I had a follicule scan today at CD 13. And I had two very nice follicules in my right side, Which is were my pain was so I fugred thats were my egg would come from. So I got an HCG injection. AND OMG did it take 3 hours just to find a phamracy that had it. They said that they are having a world wide shortage on HCG pregnal/Ovidel injections finally found one. I was driving on an flat tire the whole time. And that stuff really burnt. I feel so tired now I never knew what I was getting myself into with injections. I never studied on it cuz I never thought Id have to have one done.. So, I will be ovulating very soon! and I have 2 nice follicules.!!!!

    Toccara-Oh hun how are you doing?? I really hope baby is okay as well as you hun . Keep up posted and I have you in prayers...

    Joey-OMG! are you okay?? I really hope they find those boys! Thank god was watching over you and DH woke up, I hope those boys dont come back.
