Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ September 2010

Thank you for your thoughts ladies it means alot to me...
Damprye- I so know exactly how you are feeling darl, my thoughts are with you right now.I'm so sorry darl sending you lots of cyber hugs.
AFM-Not sure about anything any more but I seriously feel like giving this up as a real bad joke, we have been trying to conceive now since Sept. 2008 and 1 MC and 1 Chemical PG and a crap load of BFNs I really don't think I will ever be able to give me and my DF our much wanted bub. My Dr doesn't want to do anything and just keeps telling me give it time it will happen you can obviously do it as you already have 1 beautiful DD. Yeah well I want more than just one why can't it just happen. There comes a time when you have to say enough let downs and heartache is enough and I truly think I'm nearly at that stage ladies. I'm more devastated now than what I have been since my MC. I feel like a total failure to our r.ship and feeling like DF deserves better than what I can give him. God this really really sux to be me today. Don't get me wrong DF would stick by me through thick and thin and would never leave cause of this but I just feel so hopeless right now it's cruel.

oh clairesmummy darling, you sound really down.

your stupid doctor!!! get a new one. if you've been trying to conceive for 2 years with no success (other than your 2 MC's) then i would find someone else who can do some tests and start making things happen.

you're not alone. and i bet your DF doesn't think you're a failure!

wish i could say/do more darling... :(
i'm so sorry.

Reet - I keep thinking I'm imagining it though, but then I get a 'strong' one, and it feels almost like a bubble bursting, or even being 'flicked' from the inside. It's really interesting, and I'm wondering how come I'm feeling it earlier. I'll try and figure out how to post my 14wk belly photo I took.. hehe. And yes, you ARE lucky not to be throwing up. I still get the waves of nausea though, and it's starting to drive me a bit crazy. I just want to feel great again! My energy has returned though somewhat. I think i was actually nesting yesterday, LOL.

Mum22 - That's a great HB. My little peanut's HB was only 118bpm at 7 weeks, and I was a little bit worried, but it's now up to 167, so feeling a lot better about that. Oh and I understand how hard it is to find things you feel like eating. Weird, but I am also a fan of the cheese right now. LOL

Clairesmummy - It's hard not to be shattered at a BFN, I remember how down I felt when I got mine, it's really difficult not to feel like that. I think it's only natural. Maybe have a plan in place like I will do 'x' to cheer myself up if it's a bfn. I don't know if that'll help or not... I just read on further and see you're 'pinking'. Please try not to despair, I'd never had implantation spotting either, but did with this pg. I hope you aren't out for this month... FX hun. And about your dr, perhaps see someone else? They are supposed to help you after 12 months... perhaps you could see a fs if you can just get a referral??

Kellie - 8 weeks, yay for that! I love the little lemon picture, too.. very cute. Good luck for your scan next Friday!

Melster - Well, I honestly didn't have a choice. I mean, what right do I have to force my wishes on him? There is no compromise when it comes to parenthood. You can't make someone want it, especially not my DP. All of a sudden one day (I was crying after a nasty b**** I know said something awful about my mc) he turned to me and said 'let's have a baby'. I cried even more, LOL. At first I thought he was just saying it to make me feel better, but here we are, and he's excited! After his reaction to our surprise pg, I never thought I'd see him so happy about a baby. He's been proudly telling friends, and showing the u/s picture... it's really sweet. Anyway I think I got off the track here, my point is I didn't wait because I love him, (I do of course) I did it because I love our baby. And I wanted him/her to have two parents who WANT him/her. Also, it's about respect. Nobody should be forced or tricked into something as huge as being a dad. (Surprises are different though, and I was keeping that baby no matter what) And finally, I was only 23 when I mc'd. I figured I had a couple of years to burn anyway. Turns out HIS clock started ticking hehehe. Enough about me though, sounds like some interesting symptoms there... I had all of those. Still do, actually. Good luck! I hope this is it :)

AFM - Posting some pics as per Reet's request. WARNING: U/S and belly pics. Do not click if you would find these upsetting.
Our Family pictures by ihavepms_18 - Photobucket
There are some rather old pictures in the other album... LOL, back from when I was 18 and having fun with my new digital camera. Those were the days! Try to ignore the oldies... :)

Shelby- Thank you for your lovely kind words darl, I usually always have plans to bring myself back up again after a let down and it always involves riding horses, this month I told myself if I get the dreaded BFN I was finally going to finish breaking my gelding into saddle and start riding him this stratergy has always helped me in the past but for some reason I feel totally gutted right now. I always feel dissapointed but not to this extreme IYKWIM. I think I will be following through and TRYING I say trying as we don't have alot of DR options out here, to find myself a good DR that will help me with this. I sit here typing with tears just rolling down my face and I'm not even sure why I feel so bad this time around it's not like anything has changed or I had any big symptoms saying I may have been UTD. Hopefully a good week end away at our Draft and a fair few rum and cokes may make me see the brighter side of life again......I usually have 0-1 rum and cokes at a draft this time I think I may have a few more than that.
Love the pics of your baby bump and US darl, congrats again I know I have said it a few times but after seeing your pics it's so much more realistic now and I am just so happy for you.

damprye...sorry to hear!!!

Clairesmummy....i think you need to get another dr as well....find one that understands and will do something about this......Please dont give up quiet yet!!!!!!!! has there been anymore blood....seriously i think you do a test....

Forshelby.....i loved those photos...its so strange when you picture someone with only there name and convo and then see a photo...

Yeah i know what you're saying...you cant force anyone to do something against there will...and you're right especially with parent hood...

Clairesmummy - Aw, I don't know what to say! If it helps, I've been there and I know how hard it is to pick yourself back up again at the end of the month. About the drs, all you can do is try, I guess it's a process of elimination. Perhaps even travel to the nearest built up area for a better selection of drs? :( Hopefully the rum and cokes and the Draft can cheer you up. I'm also really touched you would look at my pics with the way you're feeling. I hope it didn't make you sadder, and thanks again for your kind words. I do like the bump right now... speaking of, I need to feed it, STARVING! I'm about to head out and do some boring errands.. hopefully something amusingly unfortunate will happen to me so I can come back and cheer you up with tales of my random mishaps. I've got a jobsearch interview today (I KNOW... who will hire a pg woman, this is just stupid) so maybe that will make for an entertaining story! Or maybe I'll just have to have an alfresco pee? :grouphug: Hope you're feeling better soon, hun.

Melster - LOL, how did you picture me then? I hope you didn't look at the old pics... LOL..... I loved the camera back then.

Shelby- Your photo's never made me feel bad darl, they make me feel really happy for you darl, don't ever think that your pics or stories of your PG would make me feel down. I am truly thankful I get to see and read everybodies PG stories they are all wonderful and it does make me feel warm and fuzzy to hear all about everyones PG stories. LOL at you thinking you may have an alfresco pee that would make me laugh big time, picturing a PG peeing in some random inner city car park.......thank you far bringing a smile to my face darl.
Melster- No more bleeding as yet but AF is not due until Monday for me. I think it's a huge waste of time testing as I don't think I am UTD and I'm shattered enough now I don't want to confirm it with a BFN. Thank you so much for your support darl it truly means alot to me. FX for you and I truly hope you do get your BFP darl. Sending you massive amounts of baby dust and sticky vibes.

Forshelby greta photos love the bump!!

Clairesmummy. I'm sorry sweetie if it is AF. Tho it could still be implantation or just spotting (like me) and you could still have a BFP!! I would do a test if I was you :)

Forshelby.....LOL LOL i didnt picture anything bad...i dont know how to explain it..(i know in those photos you're younger) but i picture an older person/lady.... because of you're knowledge and posts etc..maybe short hair.....i dunno LOL

Clairesmummy....i know hun, i just want to take the pain away from you...especially if there was a chance you're pregnant...I know how bad it feels to get a BFN.......and why you dont want to confirm it.........im just worried that there is still a small chance you're pregnant.......see how you go in the next few days and if its the only bleeding you get.........

Thanks for supporting me at this time...im not so positive myself that i am pregnant..coz im scared.....i dont think i am but im wondering if i am surpressing any symptoms and feelings so the let down isnt as bad if i am not......maybe we will be able to TTC together next month as well and pick each other up......Dont give up darl......i know how bad it is right now....but if you're not pregnant in two weeks when you can start trying again maybe you're spirits will be lifted again....go have that drink, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 whatever it takes and release some of the stress and sadness....

Just wait and see Clairesmummy. Mine is def not implantation spotting... AF has actually arrived now :( it is so annoying cos my LP/DPO have gone 9,9,9,6,9 since my m/c I think it might be time to get assistance :(

try B complex Dampre I used it this pregnancy. Sorry to hear about AF nasty witch!!

Damprye- You must be the strongest person I have ever known to have AF arrive darl and still be giving out positive vibes to me, for that I say a huge huge huge Thank you and you are a true inspiration to me darl I wish I could just hug you right now. I have also been having short LP since my MC my last LP was only 7 days and the time before is when I had 2 faint +ives then the -ive HPT LP was 14days then the cycle before that my LP was about 8-9days I think. This one I am so far 9DPO and no more bleeding yet I have been to the loo 3 times now. 1st trip I had pink colouring when I wiped 2nd trip a teeny bit of brown tinge and this time even less brownish tinge I have put a pad on and I have so far got a tiny spec on brown discharge on it and it's only a spec so far. I keep taking my temp to see if it's dropping and so far it's alot lower than previous days so I'm guessing AF is on her way.

Clairesmummy it could be an implantation dip.

Mum22- I have no clue about implantation dips could you please fill me in with what it is and how they work themselves? As in how much does your temp dip with it and for how long for ect ect.....sorry to be a pain in the bum darl.

Forshelby- I love ur tummy pics!!! Gorgeous!! U really have popped out.. oh i hope i do early too.. it will make it all feel much more real! Good luck at ur jobsearch interview today.. what type of job are u looking for? same kind of thing u were doing?

Clairesmummy- So sorry to hear :( its awful isnt it :( How frustrating also that u still have a few days til CD1.. hurry up af and show ur face or leave forever! Enjoy the draft, yeah i say have a few drinks.. have a laugh..
Has ur df ever got his sperm tested? It might be worth doing. Mine just went to his normal dr and asked for a referral.. it was really easy! And if the results dont come back very good then i can tell u things that he can start taking to help the little swimmers to improve! Its worth a shot xx

Damprye- Sorry to hear af has arrived. Try maca! It works wonders for a womans cycle

Hi to everyone else too! Gotta go and have a nap before i have to go back to work.. im exhausted! :)

xxx

Oh and mum22- hhhmm it sounds like ur dd cld be onto something!! It will be very interesting to find out :) Wld u prefer to have 3 girls or wld u like a little boy? Or it really doesnt worry u in the slightest?! I know i wld love a little girl so i cld dress her up beautifully and dh wants a boy so he can teach him how to ride motorbikes etc.. but at the end of the day all we both want is a healthy little baby! :)

Melster- What do u mean ur feeling itchy??! Like all over ur skin??

Reet- No DF hasn't had his sperm checked I have been wanting to ask him if he will do it just as a check for us but I'm not sure how to approach the matter with him, not that he would be uncomfortable with me saying anything I'm just not sure how to bring it about. Before I fell PG then had my MC he had always said that his swimmers weren't much chop but he has never been tested either. I would really like for us both to be checked out to see what's going on and why we can't get UTD.

Clairesmummy - Do you ever spot early? My implantation bleed was a few days before AF was due. I'm so glad you found the mental image of a pg woman peeing alfresco in a carpark amusing.. LOL. I did actually have a bit of a mishap while I was out. I forgot the damn papers I needed to get copies of. LOL... I thought 'of course. I got dressed, got my butt out the door, drove here, and have no papers to copy.' So I chuckled, and got a donut to drown my sorrows. Let's hope tomorrow I can actually get my act together and get my papers in the mail! LOL I hope my random mishap has cheered you up :) Also, my dog has gas.... LOL. He's sitting against my leg and I can feel his tummy rumbling. Time for poochie to go outside, I think.. hahaha.

Mum22 - :) thanks, My bump is my best accessory right now.

Melster - Haha... no no, I'm a youngin. Only 25 this year. That's really funny though, you've described my complete opposite!As for the knowledge, I just have too much time on my hands and read a lot. :)

Reet - Heh, thanks, I'm loving the tummy right now. Oh I'm not looking for any work by choice. I quit my stressful demeaning job (because of that bullying woman) to RELAX, and now they've forced me into looking for a job despite being 5 months away from giving birth. Great. Of course I'll do what they ask me to, but it just seems like such a waste of time, and added stress for nothing! Nobody is going to hire a pg lady, especially since I'm less than 6 months away from taking mat.leave. What's the point of hiring me when they'll just be interviewing again soon?! Oh and I get to go through the whole apply, interview, be told 'NO'. That stuff is just depressing. Stupid. I feel like I'm being punished somehow and I'm STILL suffering because of that cow at my old job. I told them all about the harassment, and they said I still have to look for work. I told them I'm pregnant, and they said I still have to look for work. WTF. I'm just wasting peoples time here, and it's like because they're going to pay me they feel like they need to run me around as much as possible and put me through as many hoops as they can. I just want to cry even thinking about the whole process. I think I'd like to talk to someone about taking legal action against this woman, the company... EVERYONE who enabled this crap situation, and has caused me to lose my income, my identity... everything. I feel so trapped when I'm meant to be enjoying growing this baby, and relaxing. THIS IS NOT RELAXING. The system is screwed up, mostly because of people who take advantage of it. I genuinely need some support for a few months, and have to bend over backwards to get it, even though I am not at fault here. *BIG SIGH* I just might cry at my appointment today, that's how crap I feel. :cry: Enough about me though, that's the end of my pity party for today... thank you all for coming, I hope you had a wonderful time. heh...

Reet...i feel itchy over my stomach etc....i have put on some weight since the last pregnancy :redface: which im not happy about....maybe its stretching or something?

Forshelby.....Sorry about that LOL.....sounds like a horrible situation...i would take action against the work place and the lady...only thing is it might be a bit stressful being pregnant and you might not want to risk it...my girlfriend actually got hired why she was pregnant..we were shocked.....

Forshelby- I always get spotting the day before AF turns up. My cycles seem inconsistant to me since my MC in April my cycles have been April/May 26days, May/June 26days,
June/July35days this cycle I got 2 faint BFP then a BFN then AF showed up a few days later.
July/August 28days to this cycle being at CD25 so far. Before having my DD I was as regular as clock work you could set a day and time to my cycles but have never been able to do that since her birth. It's getting to be very frustrating. But anyhow I will let you all know how I am in the morning before we head off for our drafting week end away, looks like it's going to be a very wet week end away yet again.

Sorry girls wasnt getting updated thread.

Clairesmummy could last a day or two at the most with implantation dip. Google it. It is often talked about on the internet :)

Reet no I dont care not phased with what we have 3 little girls would be nice or a boy would be different I suppose :) so either way as long as it is healthy. We dont plan to find out what it is either.

Melster sorry sweetie I am not sure what to say but sending you big hugs your way :)

Clairesmummy - TEST... the suspense is killing me LOL

If the implant spotting and dip is happening now then it is best to wait a couple days just so that the body starts producing hcg and for it to get to the urine lol. Testing now would most likely be a bfn but in a few days a BFP :D

Now finally I have a minute to type :) Clairesmummy I am fairly sure I had an implantation dip the night of my + HPT in the morning as I have a habit of routinely taking my temps during the night when I wake for DD etc in case I miss the time. So that said my temp dipped so low during that night that I actually thought AF was on her way early again. So I even got up and got prepared for that. My temp post O was 36.67 and pre O was 36.27 and during the night my temps are withing .05 of each other regardless of the time taken etc. So the night of the + my temp dipped down to 36.25 and I thought Grrrrrrrr AF you cow. But strangely I had a really faded + dream so when I told my friend that she convinced me to test and here I am :)

Hope that helps

Mum22- Thanks for that darl, I totally appreciate I might do some googleing about it.
GlenGlen- Sorry darl, but I aint testing yet as I'm sure AF is going to raise her head yet again. I should know by tomoro might be able to get you out of your suspense if AF arrives darl.
Damprye- Thank you for your wisdom darl, it always amazes how brain dead I can be when it comes to matters of my heart. But I guess that's the way it goes, I have no intention of testing I am waiting to see if AF is defiantely coming, have had spotting all day as I have said but no blood as yet I started with a bright pink discharge on the loo paper and since that one it's been brown.
AFM- Still waiting to see WTH is going on with me after riding my horse today my temp had dropped down back to pre-O temp but have just checked it again and it's back up again to post O temps. Now I'm going to the loo to have yet another look. God I'm so gutted and confused right now it's ripping me apart.

Clairesmummy I have had a few moments of that happening this pregnancy where my temps dip during the day but it is just cos I am cold. I may not feel it but as soon as I sit still and rug up for 10 minutes my temp is back up so dont despair sweetie. Brown blood is old blood. Bit strange for AF to come with brown blood. ;) hoping it is BFP

yeah AF always starts pink/red for me.
brown blood suggests implantation bleeding to me.... :)

Goodness now I can't even remember how AF starts, I'm telling yah my head and brain have totally caved today. I know AF always starts with spotting for me now I can't remember if it's brownish or red spotting......I do remember though when I had my MC I spotted like this for 2 days then nothing then some more spotting and it was all brown and nothing heavy just light spotting and that one ended in my MC so now if I have any spotting or bleeding I think the worst AF or MC. Sorry if this is TMI but I have had a pad on today and have only had a couple of specs of brownish discharge most of the day but when I went to the loo about 10mins ago there is more brown discharge on pad but hardly anything when I wiped. I don't know how I will get through the week end with out all you ladies to help me if AF don't arrive tomoro. I so wish I had a laptop pc.

Melster - It is sucky... but I'll deal with it I guess. Either way it's going to suck. Feel demoralized for not getting a job, or feel stressed out getting a new job in the middle of a pregnancy and leaving right when I'm feeling more comfortable. Gah. Oh and it's worth the pain to get justice. The reason they get away with this stuff is because nobody does anything.

Clairesmummy - Oh, that ruins my theory then. :( I prescribe chocolate, dipped in chocolate to console yourself. Also, you might find this amusing. I drove home from my appointment today with my hair stuck in the door of the car. LOL.... ok so I need a trim. To drive along not even realising my hair is caught in the doorframe is hilarious, and I burst out laughing when I got home and had trouble moving to get out of the car. OMG.. imagine what people thought seeing me cruising along like that... haha I have to go and tell DP now! :o I swear, I'm having weird amusing mishaps just to cheer you up. :) Dang universe! And your spotting temp dipping/rising is really confusing me! I'll be really interested to see if this does turn out to be a BFP. Hmmmmm.

Mum22 - I also had a POAS dream before I got my BFP.. weird!

Forshelby- OMG that's it you are now my official make me laugh girl when I am feeling miserable darl, cause that just totally cracked me up.......only because I have done the exact same thing before....with your hair that is......and you feel like a total freak when you go to move your head and you can't.....lol....that has put a huge smile on my face....and I say thank you universe for making Forshelby get her hair stuck on her car door just to make me laugh......you truly are a treasure darl......and by the way before I forget what was your theory darl.......I'm open to anything right now......

Oh forshelby- My poor blossom! :( That really does suck. And ur so right.. alot of other ppl have ruined it for ppl like urself that actually deserve some help at times like these. How did ur appointment go?? So how does it work.. do u have to continuously look for work for the next 5 months and hopefully just keep getting rejected but still get a weekly payment?? I guess u cld kinda make that ur job.. going to interviews every few days only to be rejected cos they can tell u really dont want a job! :) Good luck with everything. And honestly try and forget about ur ex employer.. they're not worth ur time and thoughts. I bet they realise now exactly what they have lost.

Clairesmummy- Oh i hope this isnt af. Will u test tomoro if it doesnt show up properly just so u know if u can drink on the weekend?? And yeah i really do think its a good idea to get ur dfs sperm checked. Just say that u want to get urself checked out and he may as well too?? Why did he seem to think they werent too good?? We'll miss u over the weekend! xx

AFM- Have felt like crap allday.. but was craving calimari... so i went up to our local takeaway shop and bought some and a piece of battered fish.. mmm i think this baby likes greasy food too!

Reet- Not sure why DF had convinced himself his swimmers were no good, I think it came from his ex but that's a whole other story I'm not going to get in to right now......he has got me UTD once before even though it ended in a MC at just on 6 weeks PG. I'm convinced that our problem lies with me not sure why I feel like that I just do. But it's something I'm going to work on anyhow. Sorry to hear you have felt like crap today darl, but we all know it's for a very good reason why you feel like that. Not going to test until at the earliest will be Monday when I'm at home that's if AF don't raise her horrible head before then. I usually spot the day before AF so if she's not here tomoro it's anybodies guess from there. I will be on here before we leave tomoro to let you all know if AF has arrived or not, I still have my fingers quietly and tightly crossed that she won't arrive. As I think I have said last time I got my strong BFP I spotted for a couple of days then had nothing then had really light spotting again then about 4 days later I got my BFP. Thats the BFP that ended in my MC, so if I get a BFP this time around I am praying it don't end the way it did last time.

Good morning all my lovely BB friends- First of all I want to say I'm going to miss you all over the week end and it's now time for me to find that new dr that is willing to investigate our TTC journey and why we are not getting our BFP. I spoke to DF about it last night and he never said he would get his sperm checked but he didn't say he wouldn't either. If I know him as well as I think I do he will be thinking about it today from my point of view and he will get it done if i ask him to. He seems to be thinking that he would rather not know if it's his swimmers that may be the problem, I have my doubts that it is him as my cycles are not consistant enough and I'm only having very short LPs. So after I have typed all that you have probably all guessed the dreaded old witch AF has arrived this morning for me. :crying: I have some cramping happening at the moment not to bad for now but it seems to get bad then ease off, i usually never get AF cramps but this cycle and last I have been getting them. Last cycle was a bit clotty I'm hoping this one won't be. So it's off to our Draft and I will be doing my best to let my hair down and have fun and I guess at least now I know I can have a few drinks with out it hurting anything only my head the next day....Thank you for all your support and positive vibes they truly have helped me through out my journey and will no doubt continue to help me. Well I'm hoping to get back on here again to hopefully do some persies before we leave this afternoon but if I don't please all of you have a great week end and do take care. I have my FX for all those in your 2WW hang in there girls it's a hard slog but I know all your BFPs are coming real soon. And to all you lovely PG ladies take care of you and bub over the week end and I hope you are not struck down with MS over this week end. Have a good one girls, love to you all. :confused:

Clairesmummy - so sorry to hear that AF is knocking on the door, just a quick question how short is your LP?? Mine use to be 13 days before the m/c but after it was 10/11 days. I started taking vit b6 with the cycle I fell and it made my cycle the way it use to be before I even had Luke as well. Maybe look into it sweety. Hope you have a wonderful time away!!

Hi to everyone else, will drop in later and catch up on all your news
xoxoxox

Iona- Hey darl, this time my LP was only 9 days last cycle it was even shorter at 5 days then the cycle before that was where I got to faint BFPs then followed by a BFN so LP was alot longer at 15days then AF showed. I might try and get some in town today darl, how often do you take it? Thanks so much for your advice darl I truly appreciate it.

I was just taking one a day as i was also taking the nature's own pre-pregnancy conception support. I got the men's and women's kit so that way Mark could take them with me...hehehe

clairesmummy - so sorry to hear that AF has surfaced darl.... enjoy the weekend and have a drink for each of us. I'm so heartbroken for you :(

Why don't you take your DF to the doctor and let him/her suggest he get his swimmers tested? that is usually the first test that is done, if it doesn't come from you maybe it will be better??

thinking of you over the weekend.

Hi Lovely Ladies
Im sorry ive been MIA lately and with BB server going down and all im really trying to catch up but finding it difficult LOL

Clairesmummy ~ Very sorry for your BFN - :hug: I hate it when our bodies tease us like that and get our hopes up. Maybe your body just needs a little more time - but I hope not too much. Hope you can now focus on O'ing time again,:crossfingers: your BFP is just around the corner.

Forshelby ~ very sorry to hear about your job problems etc sounds very frustrating. I hope things work out for the best ASAP so you can stop stressing, GL.

Hi to all and hoping all those little growing bubs are doing well and for those trying still :pray: and :pink-babydust::stickyvibesboy: that our BFP's are just around the corner!

AFM ~ Had my appointment with nurse on Wed - she said my long AF was probably from going on the pill so its all systems go for our IVF #3. Just wanting time to scoot by now up to doing my 1st jab etc - getting the show on the road and hopefully have a BFP towards the end of OCT. But talking about shows - im off to the Melbourne show next week for a week showing cattle - FUN! So that will help to pass the time yay - exciting times.

Clairesmummy - Oh, lol.... now I'm laughing again. I thought of you straight away when it happened.. haha. My theory was that it was implantation spotting.. but since it's not uncommon for you, i could be wrong. Theory destroyed. :( maybe. Anyhoo glad I could cheer you up with my crazy antics. I hope today goes more smoothly! Just read on a bit more... :( stupid af. I hope you can at least enjoy your weekend and have some drinks for me!

Reet - The appointment was short, but still degrading even going there. And the lady kept eyeing off my belly. *sigh*. I'm not going to make it my job to get rejected constantly... sounds like a recipe for depression to me! How horrible. My job is supposed to be to enjoy my pregnancy :( I'm just really irritated I'll be forced to waste my time like this, when I haven't done anything to deserve this kind of crap. It's ridiculous. And if I just 'forget' about my ex employer, they win, and they'll do this to some other poor sap. It's important that I fight them and show them they DON'T have the right to ignore their employees wellbeing. I had a right to a peaceful workplace, and a right to my income and they took all of that away. Anyway enough about my boring problems...... Oh oh, now I want fish and chips.. damn you! lol..

Loops - Oops, missed your post. Hope you have fun at the Melbourne show! I'm heading down there in a few weeks time and I must say, I LOVE that city! The food is so much better, just better standards all round. Not to mention the shopping. *drool* :) Good luck with your jabbing, and hoping for a BFP for you very very soon!

AFM - Feeling a bit cranky today. One of my SIL's commented on my belly pic on fb, and said "OMG bubs is the size of a lemon and you're only 3 months gone! Better get your walking shoes on". WTF?! I was so annoyed... I just had to correct her, telling her that's the size bubs is meant to be, and that her comments are hurtful. I'm sure she'll want to make something of it, even though she's the one being harsh and well, rude!! She's the type that you can't tell her she's wrong, or let her know you're upset by one of her tactless comments. And I must say, for someone who knows everything about pregnancy and babies....... shouldn't she know bubs is a normal size for his/her gestation? Ugh, this has got me so frustrated. DP called just now so I told him what she said, let's just say he was not impressed. :( I'm not really bothered by what she said, just by the fact that she would say something so rude at all!! Anyhoo, I'm going to go out and get myself a smoothie to cheer myself up. Oh and a carton of beer for DP. And dang it, I'm going to get that photocopy I needed for the last 3 days DONE!
