TTC After Miscarriage or Loss June 07

Pash I am so very sorry to hear about the loss of your twins, it is so sad. I also hope that it wasn't a molar pg for your sake. Sending big :hugs: to you and your dh.
Salt glad to hear that your parents' op went OK I hope they both recover very quickly. Bummer about the spotting today.
Beaksie sorry to hear about your loss too, and like Pash I hope it doesn't turn out to be a molar pgncy for you as well. The girls in hear are just fantastic, you definitely know you aren't alone in the way you are feeling.

hello to everyone else, way too tired for personals tonight since it is 12.30am and I have to be up at 7am.

Will try to get on tomorrow night. :hugs: to all those that need them

Thanks everyone for your kind words & thoughts. I think I am going to take a break from BB for a while. I can't imagine reading everyone's ttc posts while maybe having to wait 6mths. At the moment, I don't even feel like ttc at all. I'll pop in & post my results when I get them.

To the PG ladies - Good luck & I hope everything goes wonderfully smoothly for you, and you have an even smoother bub in your arms soon. Bun, I didn't mean to scare you further, I am sure everything will work out. Claire & Lee, thanks for your support & for getting angry for me :)

To the TTC ladies - Good luck to you as well. I hope your journeys are short, enjoyable and filled with DTD ;)

Rachael - Thanks for the info. Good luck with your journey, I am sure you'll get a BFP soon.
Beaksie - Thanks for posting. I feel less alone. Good luck with test results when they come.
Belinda - I'm sorry to hear about your friend. And you're right, these things give you perspective, don't they?

Also belated Happy Birthday !! to Leyla & Claire. I hope you both had fantastic days.

Wow this seems so melodramatic! LOL I've tried to quit BB before, and lasted less than a day! So I'll probably be back & posting tomorrow ;)

PS I'd totally recommend a book called A Child Against All Odds, by Robert Winston. Its a really good explanation of conception & fertility treatments, but written in an interesting way. I started reading it cos I hoped it would tell me to stop trying, but I'm continuing to read it cos its so interesting.

Hi everyone

Pash - I understand you need to disappear for a while. Do keep us posted on where you are at, and don't feel you can't join in!! We are all here for you.

Salt - are you okay?? Really relieved your parents surgery was successful, you must be to happy about that. You will get some good news to tell them soon enough. Now to get focussed on the next cycle and well timed BDing!

Satya - I hear you re. the family dramas! My family are painful. I didn't invite any of them to our wedding, as we wanted a very small, non dramatic, non-family-issues day! We had our VERY best friends here and had a brilliant day, I was so relaxed. BUT the family did not understand and have made it all about them. Blah blah blah I say! They have only phoned me once, maybe twice in the 3.5 months since my baby died, so they are not exactly supportive, and they wonder why they don't get included. Sorry to rant, it just amazes how much people need to make things about themselves, and can't just be happy for you. Hope your mob sort themselves out soon! Hope you are feeling better today.

Claireabel - hope your cousins little bub grows and thrives straight away. Why did they need an emergency c-sect?

Beaksie - hello, welcome. So sorry about your little bubsies and thanks for joining us.

Bun - 7 weeks - YAH!! It's good to tick over another week. All is just dandy with you, so start packing that suitcase and look forward to your holiday, with bub on board! My baby was conceived in France in June last year. I have lovely memories of the places he came with me on that trip.

Missbelinda - hope your AF has settled down. My first proper af after my baby was born was so horrendous, the heaviest I've every had. I fell pg the next cycle after that. I think I'd had such a good "clear out", and everything was ready for pgcy. Fingers crossed for you...!

Hello to everyone else.

:)

I hope you ladies don't mind me staying here. I know I'm pg, but I won't be getting a scan until 12 weeks, and I won't fully believe I'm pg till I see that little bub on the screen. I feel quite apprehensive too, but I know that worrying about it will not help. I'll I can do is look after myself and try to believe all will be fine. I'm hope that you all fall pregnant asap, waiting is truly the pits.

I've started walking the kids to school, a few kms there and back, and must admit, feel so much better for it. Wishing you all a relaxing weekend filled with things you love.

Big hugs to you all.

Lee xoxo

Girls...I'm so heartbroken.

Had another BT and my levels have barely risen.

FS has asked to see me next week, he no longer thinks this will be viable and I guess we'll be discussing a D&C. :(

Hoped I wouldn't go through this again so soon. Tomorrow is DS's birthday, I just hope I can pull myself together to give him a wonderful day.

lisa i am so sorry to hear that. that is so sad. a d&c wont be to bad it does help.
and a big happy birthday to your son 2morrow and im sure you will give him a lovely day. all the focus will be on him you wait and see it will be lovely. just keep smiling chick and you will get through the day fine.

lee well done i hope the bubs stick.and hope everything goes well for you till your 12 week scan. when i fall pg again i dont think i want to look at the screen till they tell me that they found the baby then i will look. very scary for me ecspecialy after my last 12 week scan last week.

pash hope you have a nice relaxing time from bb. dont be away to long. hope you have good news for us all when you get back.


love susan

Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry! That is heartbreaking news! :( Thinking of you.

Pash, what a body blow. I am terribly sorry you've lost your twins. I was hoping, hoping, hoping that everything would be all right. Now I'm praying that you get your results back soon and that they show it wasn't a molar pg. You poor love! I hope you won't need to be away long.

Lee, wishing you big fat *Happy Scan Vibes* for your 12-week scan.

Belinda, guess what!! AF arrived today!!! 8 weeks and 3 days since d&C!!! What a wait! I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's death. One of my workmates, someone I was very close to, died of a brain tumour and I then had to write an obituary for him and something for the funeral. It was really hard but I was glad to have the chance to write something for him. I hope the funeral wasn't too difficult for you. *hugs*

Hello Shoegal! Thanks for beckoning me over to this thread! Hoping we have a few more escapees from the Waiting for AF thread soon. Felt like I was on the time-out table FOREVER.

Back later for more personals, it's been hard to catch up! *WAVES* to everyone in the meantime. xoxox

Pash - I'm so sorry honey! What a horrible thing to endure. I truly hope that your test result come back neg for a molar. Just take some time for yourself now and let things happen as they will.

Lisa - Oh... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. It's just not fair, you really deserve a break. I hope that are ok.

Salt - how are you going sweetie? I hope that everything is well with your folks. Looks like we might be cycle buddies again this month. AF showed her ugly head today.

Big hi to everyone else, sorry for the scant personals... feeling really crap thanks to AF. Starting to think this will never happen for me. DH has convinced me to give it one more go before seeing a FS. I just hope it happens for is this time or I might just freak!

Oh, well. Patience is a virtue I guess.

love

Pash- You will be on my mind, fingers crossed for positive news very soon from the doctor.


Leyla- I totally agree with how annoying it can be, with each AF we kind of have to take a deep breath and wait for this new cycle to bring new hope so here is to hoping that this next month is our month.

las- my heart is breaking for you right now, lets try and keep some hope as you don't know anything for sure quite yet.

Satya- I am sorry for all the drama I hope your doing good!

Come on girls I can't wait to hear some positive news very soon

well girls one week till my dp and i can strat ttc again which is great cant wait, and it works out that i shout be ovulatinga couple days after we can start trying. so fingers crossed.hopefully we wont have to try again after this month.

love susan

Not pregnant, on clomid again, 50mg, go for scan on day 11 next friday...hope everyone is well.

Hi everyone,

Las - I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear of your loss. I hope you got through the birthday OK, it must have been really difficult to be cheerful with everything that's going through your head right now. I hope you are OK.

Bye Pash - not that you are probably reading this, but just in case you are, please take care of yourself and we will see you when you are ready to TTC. Even six months down the track, I could well still be here!!!

Welcome Beaksie - sorry you've had such bad luck with pregnancy. I hope your next bub is a very sticky one.

Lee - of course you can stay until you feel ready to move on to the pg threads. Things have settled down with my DF's family dramas thankfully.

Leyla - damn that witch for arriving.

Zionsmom - Thanks I am doing well today, everything familywise has finally calmed down.

Susan - I hope your wait over the next week is a nice quick one.

Two mums - sorry that it wasn't your lucky cycle but I wish you the best of luck for this one.

:)

Well even though I'm absolutely convinced there's no way of me being pregnant this cycle (due to time of BDing) my body is doing a very convincing job of trying to tell me otherwise once again. I slept 12 hours straight on Friday night. I've had headaches, felt crap on and off , almost threw up once, had indigestion and went to the loo heaps last night.... so much so that my mum asked me if I was pregnant. I broke out majorly yesteday. I've refused food that's been offered to me that I'd normally want but it has just not seemed at all appealing. I woke up with cramps this morning but they've gone now. I'm only 6DPO so it's way to early to have any real symptoms so it's all just ridiculous.... I wish my body would stop doing this to me.

satya

im sorry to hear that your body does that to you its bad enough when we are pg never lone having it when your not thats just not fair.

well i got my af yesturday the first one after my d&c as i never had one straight after. and i am feeling really depressed it doesnt matter what i do or think the drepression i just can not hide.its like im in a trans. if any one could help me out on why this may be please do cos i have never had depression with an af before.

two mums sorry to hear the bad news hopfully you will have a good month this month fingers crossed.

Susan,

Most of us in here get really really down when our AF arrives. It's like it makes it official that you are not pregnant. It happens even on cycles when you aren't trying or didn't think that you would be pregnant. You can just hit rock bottom instantly. I've been like that every cycle I've had since my m/c. That's one of the reasons I post in here. All the ladies in here understand the ups and downs of ttc after a m/c and that's something that those that have not been through it cannot understand.

It's all quite normal so don't worry about it, it generally lifts after your AF disappears and then you get excited about the thought of getting pregnant again in this cycle. Then if it doesn't happen and you start to feel your AF coming on you start heading down again - your mood tends to just follow your cycle like that. At the moment I'm in great spirits (even though I'm annoyed with my body right now) but give it another week and I'll probably be heading downwards again unless shock of all shocks I get a BFP (not very likely I'm afraid).

satya

thankyou for that i have never been through this before so my body is all new to it. never normally am i depressed.excpecially when i have my af. i do try to keep my mind off it, but yesturday i broke down in tears and just cried for no reason at all. today my dp is going to take me to a pub poker tournament to try and help me get my mind off things so hopefull that works. then 2morrow im back at work which is good cos then i can keep myself busy.

Britkane, I knew I wouldn't handle my last m/c as I barely held on after the one I had last year. I knew my emotional behaviour would have been erratic. M/c are traumatic events and I feel that there's only so far you can bounce back from them. Each time it's harder. This time I asked my GP for a prescription for antidepressants and I found they helped me as they have in the past. I'm no longer taking them, I feel okay.

Meditation helps, having friends to talk to helps. Bellybelly is where I've found the most support - I've spent so much time on here and I wish I could give back more. I'm trying to.

Britkane, if you need someone to chat to, my MSN address is accessible. Click on the little man under my join date, location and post details. Ok? *HUGS*

Just wanted to add that I think what Satya says is also really true. Our emotions follow our cycle. But if you're finding that you can't get back up again after AF has gone, then that's possibly a sign you might need a little extra help. Some people also find counselling works well for them, too. Thinking of you!

kbowman

thankyou very much for that information. yes i agree with you there on getting support from belly belly it has helped me alot. i have also found out answers and information on alot of things which is good. i think it might just be a af thing as i was feeling fine up until yesturday. fingers crossed it goes away.

i have added you to my contact list on msn thankyou for that.

this is the first time i have m/c so i am all new to this but you guys have helped me heaps with it all more then what a dr could help me. its good sometimes to talk to ppl who have been through the same thing cos well all understand each other.


love susan

Anyone heard from Bun? She is having her scan today.

Hi guys,

Well I am happy to report that I had my scan this morning and all is well. We saw the little heart beating away, and all the measurements are right on target. I am so relieved it's over. I was terrified. I didn't sleep all night and was crying in the car on the way there. The nurses were soooo nice and supportive and told me everything is as good as it can be. Of course it is still very early days yet, but at least we are doing well so far. I have a little picture and can just work out the little head and body. It hasn't really sunk in yet.

Bek - thanks for checking in on me! I am about go over to PAML to post there too.

las - I am so very sorry to hear your news. You really don't deserve to go through this yet again. :hug:

Claire - have you had your scan yet?

Salt - how are you going? I hope your parents are well on the way to recovery.

pash - sorry to see you go sweetie, but I can understand it would be hard to hang around here if you have to wait to TTC again. Make sure you pop back and let us know your results, I will be thinking of you.

Hi to everyone else.

I think it is about time I left here, although I am certainly not out of the woods yet. I will always pop back to check on you guys and I wish you all the best. I am really hoping this is the sticky one for me. I even started packing for our holiday last night! Hopefully we will make it!

Thinking of you all,

Bun

Hi everyone,

Well its a new month with a brand new internet allowance so I am back! LOL Sorry for the lack of personals last time I posted.

Susan - I hope you are feeling a bit better today - I don't have any words of wisdom to add, satya and Kerry gave you very good advice I think :)

satya - don't you hate it when your body does that to you? I hope things settle down for you soon! I'm a bit the same this cycle and I'm really just ignoring everything as best I can because I am absolutely convinced it won't happen for us this cycle

Two Mums - sorry you had no luck last cycle, but good luck for this one!

Leyla - dratted AF!!!! I hope you are feeling better today. Good on you for having another go though - I will have fingers, legs, everything crossed for you!!

Lisa - I am so sorry for your loss, but hoping against hope that maybe things might still be OK for you? I hope you managed to have a nice day for your DS's birthday

pash - I am so sorry again for what has happened, it is not fair! I hope you are keeping as well as can be expected and that you don't have to wait 6 months before TTC again :(

Beaksie - so sorry for your losses :(

Salt - I'm so sorry to hear that rotten AF arrived :( Damn! I hope you are feeling a little bit better today. That is great that your parents op went well, that must be a big relief to you too.

Bun - I hope you are doing OK? All the best for your scan :) I know everything will be fine!

Also, I know its very late, but happy birthday to Claire and Leyla!

Hi to everyone I've missed, hope you are all well

Well DH and I have given it our best shot for this month, now its in the lap of the gods so to speak LOL But I don't have a lot of hope really. I'm fully expecting to be starting the Clomid in about a week or so.

My DD decided to be of such a caring, sharing nature LOL that she gave me her flu - I have been sick as a dog since late last week with fever and aches and pains as well as snot everywhere!! At least I'm better today though :)

And of course the flu and the fever were on the critical days of the month for temping and BDing *rolls eyes* We managed to BD on 2 of the nights I was sick (barely!!) but I reckon I could have ovulated anywhere between day 11 and day 14, even though FF has given me a coverline for day 11. I guess it just does the best it can with the temps that it has? I had to take 2 days of temps out of FF and could probably take 1 day either side of those out as well because I think they are suspect - oh well though, what can you do? And of course the OPKs didn't work this month either! Although I may have stopped them a day or two early - I was just too sick to care.

So I think that between me being so sick and the supposed low progesterone that I'm in with little to no chance this month - I just can't see how you could get pg when you are as sick as I was. But I can't say that I'm mega bummed about it considering that we almost didn't try at all, so at least I won't be disappointed when AF shows up this month! And I think I'll also stop temping for the rest of the month too - I'm really over it and can't be bothered when it's probably a waste of time for this month anyway. I think I'll just chill and start again fresh next month.

ETA - Bun you must have posted at the same time as me - that is fantastic news! I'm so happy for you - you must be so relieved!

hi there girls

well i think it was just the first few days of af that got me down feeling much more in control of my body today which is good.it feels good to be better now i just have to shake off this cold.


bun wow that is great news i am happy for you that everything went well.lets hope it sticks.

megsmum im sorry to hear you have the flu it is horrible.you never know what the gods might do they might decide that it is your turn this month fingers crossed.


well a hi to everyone else and i hope you all enjoyed your weekend i will be back on later to see whats happening.


love susan

Just quickly to say "Great News Bun!" So happy for you sweetheart!!

Hello everyone, just wanted to ask a question. I am in the last couple of days of TWW, with AF expected on Friday. How early can I do a pg test without it really being a waste of time? The pg test says on the packet I can test up to 5 days before an expected period? I was feeling fairly hopeful that this month might be the one for me but when I woke up this morning I saw a tiny spot of colour in CM which I think may be an indication that AF is on her way :cry:
I am not totally giving up hope just yet though and am thinking of testing on Thurs as that is the day I can ring through to get my BT results for CD21 from my gyno. I know the CD21 BT was to test the progestrone levels but I wonder if they would pick up if the HGC levels are higher than normal??

britkane8 you have already been given some very good advice and from the sounds of it you are starting to feel a little more positive. I really do HATE the tww as I get my hopes up EVERY time, oh well, lets hope I get my coverline in the next couple of days.
Bun I am absolutely thrilled for you, and I am sure that this is going to be your sticky pgncy, keep packing and then go off and enjoy a wonderful holiday.
Lee stay on for as long as you feel you need to.
Salt how are you feeling hun, hope your parents are doing well with their recovery.
Two Mums damn AF better luck for this cycle.
megsmum sorry to hear that you have had the flu, and especially since it was around O time, I have to say that myself and Jordan have been very lucky to avoid the nasty colds going around my house.
kbowman glad to hear that AF finally arrived, she took her own sweet time!

hello to anyone i've missed.

Well I think I o'd yesterday, just have to wait and see what my temps do over the next couple of days, my pre-O temps have been scarily similar to my pg cycle back in Nov, hope that is a good sign. I am going to try not to obsess this cycle over every single little twinge etc, although I also said that last cycle and the one before that and I did exactly what I didn't want to do, oh, well. Don't know if I told you guys but my dh is a big softie and told my eldest ds that his g/f could move in with us until she finds a place of her own since she got kicked out of home (she is only 16), she was going to go and stay with some friends in Newtown and sleep in a cupboard!

Hi everyone,

Congratulations on everything going so well at the scan Bun. Goodby and goodluck. I'm hoping to join you in PAML soon.

Megsmum It sucks when you are sick around O time. I was sick last cycle and my temps were all over the place... it made it impossible to tell what was going on and it gave me symptoms that made me think I was pg.... ha ha nothing unusual for me... but gave me some new symptoms is what I mean like sensitivity to smell. It sounds like you and I are pretty much thinking the same this cycle - that it's very unlikely that we could be pg. Who knows we could just be wrong.

Susan I'm glad you are starting to feel a little better. Just take it one day at a time there will be good days and then the odd bad one, followed by more good days.

Timnik When they do the CD21 test they don't test for HCG so a pregnancy will not show up in your results. When I got my test results I was half convinced I was pregnant as I had really high estrogen levels but I wasn't pg at all. That was just a little warning not to read anything in to your results. My GP also told me my estrogen was too high and my progesterone was too low but my specialist said it wasn't anything to worry about. I hope the results come back completely normal so you wont worry about them.

Sharon I wish you the best of luck with your tww this time around. I too say I'm not going to stress about "symptoms" and then find I can't help myself. In week 3 I've had a few symptoms but as per usual they've died down again so I'm now thinking that they must actually be my post O symptoms.

:)

Well it's CD24 for me & I'm 8DPO if fertility friend is correct. My chart is a really weird one this cycle - big jump after O and after staying up for a couple of days it has gradually gone back down to about 1/2 a degree above my coverline. I've not had this happen before so I have no idea what that means. I usually go up and down a little until I get a huge drop & then get AF a day or two later. I've been getting slight cramping for a couple of days on and off, my skin broke out for the second time this cycle (it usually does at O and when I get AF) and it's worse than it normally is. I was also extremely emotional last night - cried driving home from work and I have no idea why and had a couple of moments whilst at home. As these are all pre AF symptoms for me it means absolutely nothing. I got pinkish discharge after BDing last night so I'm convinced AF is on her way a little early again. CM is clear again this morning though so maybe not. Can't wait til tomorrow morning to see what my temp does.

Apologies to anyone I've missed.

Hi everyone,

So much to catch up on!! Bun I'm SO so SO happy for you and glad you're making the move to the pregnancy forum and have a more positive frame of mind about it all :)

satya, you're 4 days ahead of me -- when do you plan on testing (if at all)? I am determined this month not to test as early as last month (8DPO lol).

sharon, that's SO good of your DH. Hope having one new person in the house is a smooth transition and things get sorted out for them soon. I can't believe anyone would kick their own kid out of the house at 16!!

Hi britkane8 - nice to "meet" you and hope your stay in this forum is short and we all move to pregnancy after m/c soon!!

las, hope you're hanging in there OK. Have been thinking of you. How did the birthday go?

kbowman, so glad your AF came and you're able to move onto a new phase :)

Hi to everyone else -- been trying to catch up on all the messages.

I had a wonderful relaxing long weekend away after a bit of a stressful week (the random bleeding). Not sure if that counts me out this cycle or not. I rang up a nurse and she didn't think it happening once was much to worry about, even if unusual. She asked if I was on contraception and I said no, and then she said the fateful words "Well you might be pregnant and it could be implantation bleeding. Maybe you should take a pregnancy test in a week or two." I held back saying I thought it was impossible to have that so early in my cycle since I'm monitoring my temps etc. So... the weekend was even more needed than ever!

I'm now 4DPO according to FF but really cautious about this cycle so who knows!

Hello! Kiwigirl, that's a very interesting chart you've got there! Intriguing. Hope there's a BFP at the end of it!

Congratulations on the EXCELLENT scan, Bun :dance: Hope a few of us will be following you into PAML within the next month of so - it's lovely to have a forward scout!

Glad you're feeling a bit brighter, Britkane, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel for us all. It was good to chat with you on MSN :D Hope you had cleaned up at the poker tournament!

Thanks everyone for your congrats on AF arriving, lol. Be one of the few times when I've ever been sooooooo excited about AF coming :cryinglaugh: Looks like she's on the way out already though- wouldn't that be nice! and then I can start chasing my DP properly! I'm at his place at the moment so not at my computer but his (takes me a while to get used to his Mac system) so I'll try to catch up on personals properly once I'm back at my desk.

Big *WAVES* to everyone - I will be back again properly in a few days xoxo

Hi girls

Pash, I'm so sorry to see you go :cry:. I hope to see you in here again soon, I'm just so sorry.

And Las, my heart goes out to you too. It really isn't fair. We're all here for you when you need us.

Lee, hope things are still going well for you! It's not too long now until your 12 week scan and I'm sure it'll be a happy one.

Bun - hurrah!!!!!! That is fabulous news, yay! i hope you and DH have a fab holiday, you deserve it!

Sorry to all the girls who have had AF turned up or have found out they're not pg. I just wish you all the best for some happy news soon. Try to hang in there, although that's easier said than done.

I had my 8 week scan yesterday and all was good, bubs was even measuring 4 days ahead! the relief was huge, although of course i'm still worried. we were told that our chance of m/c is now 2%... but we were told that last time so i'm not sure how i feel about that.

I had a big chat to my obs about miscarriage and how i really don't think anyone expects to feel the anxiety and worry like this when they first decide to ttc. he was fabulous, really worth his weight in gold. he reassured me as best he could and really seemed to understand what i was going through. i left his office feeling much lighter. i know i'll be okay, come what may.

I gotta go, not well today and home sick.Sorry for the lack of personals but will be back later.

x claire

hi girls


kbowman yes it was nice chatting with you on msn.i am feeling much better now think it was just a af thing.but its good cos now i know i have a proper cycle again.

kiwigirl thankyou and i hope everything settles down for you and who knows maybe you might hear some good news.i had spotting for about 2 months with my first and i didnt find out i was pregnant till a few weeks after it stops so could be possible maybe get a blood test done.


sharon thats good to hear and good luck for the next 2 weeks hope you hear some good news at the end of it.


satya the body is a weird thing you never know what it is going to do.thats all im doing taking it day by day thats what my mum said i can only do.but it seems to doing well at the moment havent had any bad days since saturday.


timnik77 just wait till you are ment to get your af and if you havent got it by a few days after then do one you can get a blood test done and that would show if you were or not.

hello to everyone else hope all is well


love susan

Thanks everyone for your congrats and well wishes. I hope the news stays good for me and that you will all be joining me in PAML as soon as possible!

Claire - yay on your scan! So happy for you, and that's great that it's measuring 4 days ahead! All is looking good!

Love Bun xx

kbowan no unfortantly not i didnt clean up but i did take my dp out it the second hand of the day. it felt soooo good.i am going again next sunday so lets hope i have better luck this week. i think i might have a little more practice during the so i can surprise everyone. anyway how have you been????


love susan

Hi all. First post in here (well, almost), as Dh and I have made a plan for our TTC. Having said that, AF hasn't shown up since D&C 4.5 weeks ago and I used to havea regular 27 days cycle. Oh well.

Claire - so great to hear all is going well for you. It has to be a relief to see that things are progressing as expected. You and bub are in my thoughts.

Karen - I seem to be following you everywhere you go on these boards. Hopefully you move onto PAML soon and I'll follow in about a year :)

Lisa xx

Hello everyone!
It has been a little while and I see there are some new girls in here too so WELCOME! Lets hope we all have a quick TTC journey and can join bun in the PAML.:crossfingers:

Salt- Sorry AF arrived. Your Chart always looks so perfect and are bedding at the right time i can see why it is making you so frustrated. Just remember you can get pregnant your body has done it before and will do it again it is just waiting for the right moment! I really hope it is soon!

Bun- Goodluck! I am glad the scan went well we all knew it would!

Kbowman- Yeah on af it is so exciting now you can offically start ttc again!

Kiwigirl- I am jealous of your relaxing weekend away but glad you had a good time! We are exactly the same DPO so now is the dreaded wait to test! I hope I can hold out.

Satya- You never know this could be your month for a bfp. The pinkish discharge could be implantation bleeding as it happens between 7 to 10 dpo! When do you think you will test?

Sorry if I missed anyone there is so many people in here now we need some bfp's fast!

I had a pretty horrible weekend on the day I o'd I got a stomach bug from my DS and so did my husband so we were bedridden all weekend. So we bd the day I got my positive opk and got my coverline on ff the next day so hopefully I am still in with a good chance! How do you temp though when you are sick when you have high temps?
Currently 5DPO and counting. Oh my gosh how much do you get your hopes up!
Hope everyone is having a good week!;)

Hi everyone,

Quick post today. In answer to those who've asked I'm not planning on testing. My temp has been gradually dropping over several days and has stayed at 36.3 just above coverline for two days now. There's no way I could be pg this cycle with low temps like that so I will not be testing. I've had more cramping today so AF must be on her way. As usual the thought of AF coming on is making me sad again so sorry can't deal with personals today. Hope all is well with everyone.

Hi everyone, I just had my scan too, I am 7 weeks and 6 days and it is due on Feb 14 .
We had all the great signs like the heartbeat etc.

I tell you, I was very worried with all the cramping. It was just wind build up. It puts you on edge.

I hope everything works out great in the future for everyone.

I find that thing turn out well when you least expect it.

Hello girls. I think I am out for this month as well with AF looming. I have woken up and had a pinkish discharge for the last three mornings in a row. I did a pg test yesterday morning and nothing came up not even the test line! I went back and had another look at it much later and the test line had come up quite dark with the pg line there also but very faintly. Not sure if that means anything though because it was about 8 hours later. I will get some more pg tests this afternoon but I am not really hopeful. Bummer.

Timnik..hoping I'm not getting your hopes up falsely here..but as far as I know, the pg line on a test can only show up if HCG is present. I'd definitely do another test soon if I were you!

2 please - excellent news, congratulations! I can imagine how worried you were, you must feel like you're walking on air now.

Satya - big :hug: for you. It can get hard to keep your chin up each time when AF shows up. Just take care of yourself, and before too long I'm sure you'll feel positive about the next cycle.

I have to admit that I'm so jealous of your girls who are all TTC now, it must be so exciting, but yes, stressful and heartbreaking at times as well. It's frustrating sitting around waiting and waiting to TTC. Starting to wonder if that ticker was such a good idea..11 months! If I for pg now I'd have the baby by then and we're not even TTC yet!

May I ask why you are wating 12 months TTC again?

I hope you don't think I'm being rude.

Hey all!
Timnik~ my fingers are crossed for you, it seems pretty promising!


satya~ I'm sorry but lets not get sad yet, af hasn't arrived so far.

cherie~ sorry you guys were bedridden but the good news is you were able to fit in a bd! Yay for that.

claireabel and bun~ CONGRATS!! for the good news and relief you feel gives me hope thats for sure.

kiwigirl~ so glad you were able to relax and heres to hoping for good news to come from you. :)

Nothing much going on with me, I went away this last weekend it was dh and I's 1st wedding anniversary so we went to stay at the coast for the weekend it was romantic and relaxing and we were able to bd often!!! I know I am not officially o'ing right now but I am going to BD every day or at least every other day until I'm supposed to O just to play it safe. :) My husband said hes starting to feel over worked and under paid ;) but then he winked. He cracks me up! Anyways have a good one ladies.

timnik77 when you are only bout 4 weeks pg there is only ever a faint line there and it does take a little time to come up maybe wait a week then try again if you have got your af.

2 please great to hear that your scan went well lets hope it stays that way for you and bubs.

well i hope everyone is doing well i will be back later to do some more posts in the middle of house work

Not rude at all shoegal :)

Basically, we're waiting 12 months for a few reasons. Firstly, I don't have a job atm (job hunting and hopefully getting one soon) and with our debts, we can barely survive with just the two of us on one income, so want to wait until I have a job and our finances are a bit better able to support having a child.

Secondly, I'm about 40kg overweight, and would like to be able to provide a healthier environment for our baby than I can right now. So I've taken up walking each day and eating more fruit, etc. Within a year, I can lose the weight at a good rate, and it gives me and Dh lots of time to eat the right things, learn what we need to take etc. I'm wondering if my weight has contributed to my two m/c's, as I've read there is a higher risk of m/c for overweight/obese women.

Thirdly, we're going to England next July for my brother-in-law's wedding. If I get pregnant now, we'll have a very small baby to take with us (not impossible, and I'm sure it can be done, but could be tricky), and I'd rather not be pregnant when we go over there, as I want to be able to get to my healthcare providers straight away if I feel something is wrong when I'm pregnant next. So we're planning to start TTC again at the start of next July.

To be honest, most of this is due to DH's wishes. If he said to me 'I don't care about those things, let's start TTC now!' I'd say "Righto! Off we go!' and march straight to the bedroom. but basically, he's the sensible one in the marriage, and I provide the spontaneity and giggles. I know the reasons make sense, but I'd still secretly rather be TTC now. Still, Dh has said if I was pregnant now he'd be completely thrilled. Hejust can't help being so damn practical.

Hope all that makes sense :)
