    Smi - Oh no! I am so sorry to hear about your uncle! Are you ok sweetness? Surely you've had your turn of "downs" so it muct be time for everything to be looking up! If you need to talk (or scream or cry or chuck things) you know where we are

    Toccara - Where are you honeybunch? I'm so worried about you. I hope you are bubs are ok and that you are just looking after yourself!

    Jen - I've been making seat covers with yours and Angel's names on them so no one can get confused. I even put in some little heat pads to keep your tushys warm!

    Megsmum - Jen is right! Do you need the number of a good NA meeting? :P

    Angel - Jen's on a role today because she is right again! "An angel a day keeps the blues away"!! And puts a drop of sanity into my otherwise chaotic brain! Miss you!!! xoxox Get better soon! I'll send you some cyber drugs

    Chappas - Thanks! I wasn't sure at first with the cheapy one, but had an inkly I could see something before the time limit was up, so tore open the box to the first response test, lol! I love first response, the lines are always extrememly noticeable even at low levels.

    Jenushka - The ticker is gorgeous. I bet it'll stick "tick" over at the wrong time of day for you like mine though

    Joey - How scary! But you've got me laughing out loud by writing that you had to go back to sleep to get the 3 hours of sleep for yourr temp! What a crack up! I hope the police did something nasty to the two losers that tried to break in!!!

    Babyfever - Good luck ovulating!

    Ruthie - Thinking of you and hoping that the nasty symptoms stay away and that all you get from now on is good news!

    Larz - Thank you. I was like you with my m/s last pregnancy with my angel. 24/7 nausea, but couldn't vomit! Hopefully it'll be easier to cope with this time round because I'll be at home and not in a foreign country. I was in Vietnam on my honeymoon last time!

    Katiegirl - What a sweetheart you are! Thank you so much! I missed out on your time here in this thread, but some of the other girls have the nicest things to say about you, so it makes me a little jealous that I never got to know you You must be so excited about the birth of you baby. It's getting so close now!!!

    Mannie - All steam ahead now girly!! Good luck!

    OK, as for me, I'm feeling a little foolish after my total freak out yesterday My temp jumped right up again today and there is no sign of AF. My DH said I was a "silly little monkey" But then he said it's not really my fault, it was "little chyan's" fault. Lol, that's what we've nicknamed the baby. But as pretty as it looks, we pronounce it "choong" I had a client at work with a cat called "Lemon Chyan" and when I asked how it was pronounce (thinking it was going to be pretty) she said what we think was "choong", lol. Then she explained that in Japan if you have a very close friend then you add that to the end of their name. So it would be "Jen Chyan" and "Angel Chyan" for example. Since then, my friend that I work with and me have always called each other Choong! And now there is a little choong!

    Anyway, that was a long rambling story hehe. I'm going to ring my ob now (and he better answer today) to get my BT results. Then I better get ready for my acupuncture and gp appointments.

    I just wanted to add... during my foolishness yesterday I was remembering how amazing you all are and how supportive and loving each and every one of you are. You should all be proud of yourselves!

As for head attacks.... with that brain of yours constantly on the go...... what else do you expect......I think your the only person i know worse than me... or at least as bad as me... that head of yours never stops...... tis alright.. i m here to spank it into line. Now Chyan I ll keep your mumma sorted dont you worry ..can you say "thankyou aunty angel"......

    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??

    joey--OMG! Sorry to hear about the break-in!! How scary! Lucky your DH doesn't wear ear plugs like my DF!! Just had to LOL at needing 3 hours of sleep to temp... sounds just like me! I won't even get up to use the loo if it's after 2, cuz I always wake up at 5:30, and I don't want to ruin my temp! Addicted much???



    Babyfever--Yay for 2 follicles! :goodluck2: with O!



    larz--I take it the lemon didn't work? What a bummer! I felt sick almost the whole time with DS2--on the plus side, I did only gain 24 lbs! Hope you feel better soon--I know it's a miserable feeling!



    Katiegirl--Aww! It's SO good to hear from you! So by "finish up at work" does that mean you're officially on maternity leave? :woot: Almost 8 mo's.... I can't believe it, Katie! How excited you must be--before you know it, you'll be holding your little Thanks so much for bringing us all hope! Big hugs and bellyrubs!!



    mannie--We're an addictive bunch! Good for you for working out! I worked out 1 day last week, and was SO sore for days afterwards! Haven't done it again since! LOL...

    Krystylove-Big Nice numbers there darling. Defanitly keep us posted with you and bubs on how your doing. Its funny how you have those names how adorable!..

    Megsum-Sounds like your Office can be complaicated I hope that everything gets sorted out for you so you can get BFP very soon. Also, I didn't give myself the injection the Nurse at the office did it shes like you cant give it to yourself and gave me dirty look. But untill I can see the dr again I'm pretty sure they will start to letting me do it. It took me 3 hours just to find the HCG injection because theres supposavly an world wide shortage on it, And I guess normal pharmacys dont have em here so I had to go to an differant hospital pharmacy then mine cuz she was all out and finally this place had it. So, The injection wasnt cold at all. I was rushing all over town just to find it and I was driving on a flat tire too!! I got luck to be home safe..

    Krystie Chyan--You silly little monkey (that's too cute!), I'm on a roll today?...haven't you figured out that I'm always right? Hey, and what's with these cyber drugs? Can you get me some? Can you? Can you? Huh? Huh?

    :woot: what great BT results!! Hope you have a relaxing A appt. and a great gp appt!

    Angel Nuff Chyan--Please come back to us.... the land of the living is beckoning you.....the chat room is calling.... hey, and break stash with those cyber drugs, will you?? Miss you bunches! *kiss*



    megsmum--You crack me up! lol....you big addict, you! I have to admit, your embryo transfer on your EDD is pretty ironic... reminds me of O on my EDD... I'm praying so hard that our angels will bless us so that something positive can come from something so sad...Wishing you the best of luck and saying lot's of for a miracle for us both!

    Jen - I sound like I am don't I? The things we do to get pg!! You know if someone had told me 4 years ago that I'd be here doing IVF I would have laughed at them. We never had any trouble conceiving DD - dare I say we were a little bit smug about how easily she was conceived I even remember saying a couple of years ago that if we had trouble conceiving our second that I wouldn't do IVF, I'd just be happy with what I have. Of course I'm eternally grateful for having my DD, but I just so want her to have a little sister or brother. I really hope that your angel and my angel are watching over us this month

    Babyfever - Oh my clinic is not too bad Your nurse sounds a bit scary though! They're funny some of them about you doing it yourself, at least my clinic actually encourage you to give yourself your own injections. And I bet she didn't inject it slowly either! Haven't heard anything about the HCG shortage, I just get mine off the clinic, so don't have to run around like you have had to. But glad that you got it alright in the end and got home safe after that flat tyre.

    KL - Excellent HCG numbers!! Love the name too I hope you've lost that thermometer now Get your DH to take it and hide it somewhere you can't find it!

    hello ladies! i've missed you all so i've returned!

    :woot: CONGRATS again to Krystie! great numbers! i hope i can join you soon!

    new friends, hope you wont be staying long in this thread!

    Ajc: love your baby pic!

    tina, plc: hello! glad your pg is healthy & happy!

    Angel: POAS please!!! please be a bfp! i'll be keeping my eyes on you...

    jen: hello! have you poas yet???

    me, i have my iui procedure this wednesday, last night i had dh inject me as i couldnt do it myself - chicken - had my eyes shut & was squeeling like a baby! but then it was over & wasnt as bad as i'd imagined it to be.

    my dh had his sperm tested & it turned out he had very low normal sperm. the average was 15% & his was only 5%. disappointing. we (esp. him) never thought he'd have a problem. kept telling him to stop having hot baths as i'd heard it damages sperm - he's had baths since he was born & both his parents like baths too so it's hard to kick it, so now at least he knows so he'll keep the bath water lukewarm. I just hope theres no other probs with us.

    anywho! will be back on wednesday after the iui...

    before i go: angel: can i ask where you are having your iui done? im having mine done at city fertility centre. is this your first iui & how was it?

    Vanaithi.....I am "expecting" AF today or tomorrow. If she doesnt arrive...then YAAAAAAAAAAAAA... if she does.... then my IUI begins. From day 2 of AF i will start Clomid. I am on that for 5 days and then Hubby will have to give me my needle... i m a big woose too.... then 2 days later he goes early in the morning with his swimmers, they are cleaned up and then returned to the FS and then up up and away with the turkey baster. The theroy being... if DH s swimmers dont know their freestyle from their backstroke and their doggy paddle... the turkey baster puts them all around the lovely little eggie.... maybe one will accidentally bump into eggie and away we go.......

    I m having it done with Terry Shean at North West Private in Brisbane.

    Megsmum - Thanks I hope the nausea stops soon, really can't handle it. Finding it really hard to take all my vitamins and can hardly even look at my herbs.


    Jen - Lemon didn't work, my poor husband is doing everything around the house. As soon as I get home from work I head straight too bed. No energy what so ever

    I have just gone to the loo and there is blood, not a whole lot, but it is fresh. I don't think you can have an implantation bleed at 5 weeks can you? I don't think this bubba is going to stick. I feel a bit lost. I haven't even been to my doctor yet and virtually no one knows I'm pregnant. I don't know what to do.

    Hi all,
    thanks for all the warm welcomes.
    I've just come back from my appointment with my gp to follow up on my m/c 2 weeks ago.
    She has suggested that we wait at least another month before trying again! Is she serious??
    DH and I have been getting pretty jiggy with it the last few days. I didnt need a D&C as i had a complete miscarriage so i didnt there was a big deal in waiting.. It's not like i am in any pain or have any bleeding or anything..
    Any advice ladies?

    Hi Leyza..
    this must be a stressful time for you.
    try and stay positive and think sticky thoughts. i know that is hard to do when you are so scared.
    some women have bright red bleeds and everything is ok.. so this is not necessarily a bad sign..
    the best thing to do is stay calm and positive (easier said than done).
    you could try seeing a gp if u r really concerned or perhaps go to your local ED. At least they could do a serum hCG and perhaps a transvag US or pelvic exam to see if ur cervix is open.
    I'mreally hard for you and your sticky bean.
    :goodluck2:
    Hope everything is ok.
    Emily

    Babyfever - Wow. I have been away for a little while, so don't really know where you're at. What's with the hCG injection? I didn't even know one existed. What does it do? And, I'm fine, Thanks. I too hope the boys don't come back!! I'm feeling ok about it. Was unsettled last night when DH was telling me (even felt sick in the stomach), but totally fine now.

    Larz - I so envy the ****ty way you feel. Take care honey

    Mannie - Addictive? Certainly is!!

    Angel Babies - Hope AF comes soon and hope you're feeling better soon too.

    KL - Me too. In jail I hope!! How's your little bubba going? I'm so glad your temp is up. Now throw away that thermometer! I hope there's not too much noise with that x-box going. And you better warn him/her about where to point that pool cue or you could end up in all sorts of trouble. I went for a walk this arvo. My bubba came too, but she/he had to use his/her treadmill !! Ahhhh KL, you're lovely too!

    Megs Mum - Well my temping has been really *****ty lately - all over the place, so I couldn't risk missing a day. I WANT MY COVERLINE Hope AF comes soon for you.

    Jen - Addicted? Yes, but, as I mentioned to MM, I WANT MY COVERLINE

    Vanaithi - Welcome back Cotter. Hope all goes well with your IUI. Take care hun

    LEYZA - GO TO THE ER STRAIGHT AWAY IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG THEY MAY BE ABLE TO DO SOMETHING.

    AFM - Nothing much. Just waiting for that cover line. Tomorrow it should come if my temp behaves. It's 3 high temps in a row before your coverline comes right??? I know when I O, but I WANT MY COVERLINE

    Lots of sticky vibes and baby dust thrown at you all.

    Love you girlies. You're the best.

    PS - I have a new address for my chart (see below). Had I mentioned that yet?
