TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ February 08 #2

Jodsan you go girl! I'm trying to remember the last time I did that much exercise and I am sure the answer is NEVER! lol I'm inherantly lazy, and really need a big kick up the a$$ to get out and do some excerise.
In fact I'm sweating just thinking about it, i think that counts as exercise!

Well my waist line too has expanded since being pg then the m/c. I can only fit into one pair out of 3 jeans. I think I have lost a little weight but still need to lose at least 5-10kgs. If I was being totally honest probably another 5-10 after that. I just love my food too much and it's a real hard slog to stay at that "healthy" weight. Healthy to me is what I am happy with, I'd be happy fitting into my jeans again, so that's goal 1. Just not sure when this so called Goal 1 starts ;)

Going home tomorrow YAY! can't wait to see my DP.
Good luck to everyone in the TWW, hopefully won't be long until I join you!

..Laura

hi tempus- my temps have gone back up again yesterday and today, it was really cold the other night and my DH had a window open so perhaps my temp drop was just related to that...hope so anyway!

jodsan thank you for your concern, i really am not being too hard on myself trust me! the good things about what i am doing is that i am still enjoying the foods i like but just trying to stick to about 1300 calories a day. So if i have some choccy mud cake like i did yesterday i just have a bit lighter dinner...anyway like i said it has only been a week so we'll see!

agree with you on the exercise front, i aim for walking or a session on the cross trainer about 5-6 days a week and i feel so much better when i do it, really does exercise your mind not just your body... also helps me sleep better and have more energy which comes in handy with all the BD'ing! ;)

Katie girl: have you POAS yet today? Im still working up to it, and waiting for DH to get home from work. Still dont know if im brave enough to deal with a negative result...im at CD30. aaahhhh!
good luck to you and all the other girls who are testing soon
i think we are really needing some::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibes boy::stickyvibesgirl:

Gooooooood luck on the POAS but DONT let it be the end of the world if its not BFP. I m back to CD 9 after my recent 2ww. So best of luck but PLEASE dont work yourself up to the point where you will be devistated with a negative result.

If you try to find a positive out of it..... If you havent worked out yet, thats something I always try and do..... The positive is that they are short cycles.... its not like each cycle is 6 months or a year. By the time you get over the fact that it was a negative,its nearly time to BD again. I find the biggest trick at the moment is making sure i m not chitty at DH at BD time........ LOL

So absolute best wishes for your POAS..... many many many :stickyvibesboy: :bluedust: :stickyvibesgirl:

Tempus.... sorry about AF...... join me on the seat in the leading up to "o" I ve got a week to lead up to BD..... he snuck one in last night :dance: ..... TMI... but he can back off between now and then. Like I ve already said.... hopefully I m talking to him at BD time. There seems to be a pattern happening at the moment... when I m "o" I m peeved at hime..... when I m about to AF have to have it.... I know.... TMI again. But it seems to be the cycle for me at the moment.... not sure on how to work on that one....

ll80..... NEVER...... ohhhh toooo funny.... laughed at that one.... soooooooo similar to myself when it comes to excersice. I ve always said I was to busy. Well not busy no more.... I have it set now.... Monday mornings is cycle studio.... Tuesday nights is tread mill and boxing circuit (hey the boxing circuit might help get my frustrations with DH sorted so i BD on time.... heyyyyyyy love it when a positive pops up like that) Wednesday morning is body balance... thursday is tredmill and body balance and friday is body pump..... saturday and sunday are OMG it got throught the week and monday back to Cycle Studio again. Plus I ve got BL club website that counts it all for me... it has me on over 2000 calories a day.... Ohhhh well.... If i can do IVF and Accapunture then I can do this...... ONE DAY AT A TIME!

Jodsan..... Dont believe in excessive dieting.... eating healthy YES... eating silly... NO..... Exercise will be between and hour and an hour 1/2 five out of 7 days a week. Thats more to get myself addicted to it and a habit of my work week.... there is deffinately a theory there.... my head space if I do it every second day is "ohhh I ll do it tomorrow" and of course tomorrow never comes.

46...... 46......46..... thats 46 KG I have to loose so thats enought to get my butt (HUGE BUTT AT THE MOMENT.....LOL) out of bed each morning to go to the Gym.

Good Luck Angel. I'll try not to influence you with the tempting idea of cakes and all things that are naughty!
Perhaps now that you're all nice and motivated you can come and kick my butt into gear.
Actually ... I wonder how much BD'ing counts in your weekly excerise routine.
I'm sure I could amp it up to compensate a bit :p

..Laura

Katie girl and Tina K - Good luck for POAS and lots of :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:: stickyvibesgirl: for you both!

As for me, well I am pretty sure I have o'd by now. Monday and Tuesday were + OPK and tonight -. Think that is where I went wrong last time, I didn't keep doing the OPK once I got a + and then I think I missed out on night 2 of BD. Sorry for TMI but last night didn't think it was gonna happen either, we just couldn't seem to get it to work. Got there in the end, just. Sorry did say TMI. Today I have felt terrible as DH had been sore and then we still BD'd and this morning I appologised and said I hadn't taken his feelings into consideration, I am a cow, one tracked mind, etc, but he is beautiful and said he wants it just as much as me and that is why he was still willing to get there! Sometimes I remember why I love him so much!!! :bd:

So for me and everyone else in here close to or just o'd, and saving on hold for the rest of you until you get here:
:goodluck::fertilise::fertilise::goodluck:

Hey Girls,
All this talk of exercise and healthy eating has kicked my a$$ into gear, I'm off for a run in a few mins, so I will have to be quick.
Just wanted to mention PbStar- Well done on the 1.2kg loss! It IS a significant amount and you should be proud!:clap: Sorry, but as you may have already gathered, I am the last person to offer advice on staying sane in the 2WW period! I did notice that I felt really relaxed when I went away for the weekend, but it is just not practical to go away for two weeks of every month!:lol:

Thanks, tempus, for your charting advice and sorry to hear about AF arriving. Good luk for this month, I really think that March is going to be a good one for us all.

As for me, well I was a bit silly. AF should be today (CD32), but then I realised that, according to ff, I will not be 14DPO until tomorrow. Added to this, I became very impatient and tested yesterday to get a BFN. Booo. Feeling quite optomistic, though, as (I have already said, once or twice) March is a good month! I have all sorts of plans to increase my chances next cycle. If AF is not here tomorrow, I will test again on Fri because I want to have a glass of wine on Fri night!
Well, girlies, it IS Wednesday..... any BFP's, Katie and Tina???

Hi all- wow, am very excited about those of you POAS- hurry hurry hurry!!!

I am lurking, just not 'posting' at the mo- no particular reason (don't worry) just kind of 'waiting' and 'monitoring'. You lot don't want to hear all my woes (seriously- you DON'T!) even tho I know you're all so brilliant I just can't offload as it's all a bunch of twaddle really Lol :wall: I'm not leaving this thread and I'm not joining PAML yet.. not till I'm ready. I wanna stay here a bit longer :D

Tummy is protruding now, boobs have grown a bit (DH very excited) and felt sick tonight cooking dinner so symptoms are reassuring me a little. The '*****' at work snapped at my boss today while she was having a rant about me- she said 'is Nicki pregnant cos she seems quite pale and was really snappy with me?' (no that's just normal luv since I can't stand you!!) and my boss said 'How bloody insensitive considering what happened at Christmas' so that shut her up! :clap: I want to tell them all, but can't bring myself to do it yet (mind you, the belly will give it away soon!)

Big hugs and tonnes of :bluedust: for you all for BFP's very very soon
Extra special hug Angel- you so know just the right thing to say- you're a real mate and I really, REALLY appreciate it xx (note the ticker! Not ready to do a pg one yet- bloody coward are'nt I? Bet I get to 9 months before I relax- actually, probably not even then ha ha!!)

Well I'll take my neurotic body and mind away for a long soak in the bath! Love n hugs all! Still got everything crossed for you xxx

well, i knew it, :bfn: for me...ugh, feel like this is never going to happen. :crying:
I really hope that some of you other ladies who are POAS this week have some better news soon...

morning girls

well today marks the halfway mark in my TWW- yay! but knowing me i won't be waiting a whole week to test, i'll be lucky to get through the weekend....i guess you could say i am addicted to POAS...luckily this month i discovered the joy of the OPK so i got to POAS even more!!

to angel babies and the other girls getting motivated on the weight loss thing i wanted to recommend the biggest loser cookbook- i have been having some yummy recipes...last night was fish and chips and it was really yum, didn't taste healthy at all! and only 200 calories...

plus they even have a recipe for chocolate fudge cake...

tina- sorry to hear about the BFN- any chance it could be too early to pick up a positive?

hope everyone else is doing well

Hi all. Well I won't hold out any longer. I woke up at 5:30am and realised I was not going to get back to sleep, so I woke DH and told him that I was going to go and test. I did 2 tests - the brand I used yesterday (and on Tues when I got the negative) and a new one - Discover. Well.....the Discover came up straight away with a :bfp:!!! The other one - Pregnosis came up with a slightly darker than yesterday but still faint positive. So I guess this is all pretty conclusive. I am happy, excited, stunned, shocked, nervous, scared....you name it! I don't think it has fully sunk in yet. My kinesiologist made me up a flower essence mix yesterday and she told me it will help with my fear (which is high). I am going to call the GP this morning and try make an appointment for tomorrow to get the BT to confirm. I also need to call my Ob to let him know. The appointment we have with him in 3 weeks will be at the 7 week mark so that will work well.

Tina - sorry to hear about the BFN - when is AF due? Until it arrives you are always in with a chance.

Thanks to everyone for sending me positive vibes and support. I am like Nickster - I think it will take a bit of nudging to move me to PAML! I want to work really hard on being positive though, as I want this pregnancy to be a successful 9 months.

Katiegirl- congrats! so happy for you, that is such fantastic news :dance:

Try your best to enjoy this pregnancy, sending you lots of :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:

and some of these happy little men too!

:happyforyou:

Katiegirl: A huge CONGRATULATIONS!!! thats wonderful news!!!!fingers crossed for it to stick babe, you must be soo excited!

Thanks for all the words of enocuragement girls, i guess your right, its not over till AF shows her face! Im at CD 31 though, so im not sure what my cycle is doing at the moment...guess ill just wait and see :)

CONGRATULATIONS KATIEGIRL!!!
:confetti::confetti::confetti::happyforyou:
How fantastic for you!!!!!

Katie GIrl.... Katie Girl..... Katie Girl.... HUGE HUGS FOR YOU.....

CONGRATULATIONS :bluedust: :bhcontract: :bluedust: :bhcontract: :bluedust:

:thumbsup:

One Big Fat Tummy Coming Your Way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Taking mental note "discover" helps you to discover in a stronger way so your not guessing... ok... next 10 pack I buy its going to be "discover"

Hi to everyone else...... HUGE HUGS

Nickster.......tapping you on your shoulder to give you a mamoth hug..... I might not be on the same track as you YET but girl.... ohhh I understand. It is the thing that scares me the absolute most. While I m counting the days til BFP I know myself well enough to know that its going to be mentaly exhausting and damn hard. After what we have all been through.... we all know the possibilities.... we all know what 'could' happen. We just have to take ONE DAY AT A TIME! Ohhh and dont worry girlfriend.... when I get there .... you can hold my hand........ suggest you seek medical advice before agreeing to that one.....LOL

As for me well I m cycle day 10.... I know i must be close to "o" because I have the Chits with DH again..... OHHHH this pattern must stop if i m going to have any luck at TTC. I m also on day two of "get rid of that butt".... eating seeds, nuts and all sorts of crazy things.

Ohh well here s to a slimmer me..... just in time to add a big fat preggy tummy .

AF came with such a vengeance today! Been changing double pads every hour and a half since morning, and the clots were so big I had the awful suspicion it was a very early MC and not AF at all. So I POAS and got a BFN (to my profound relief). According to the internet, very heavy periods with big clots can be caused by severe stress which we definitely had this past month. So I'm redoubling my stress reduction techniques.

Katiegirl: Yayyy!!! Congratulations and I'll be praying for you.

Trac73: your temp should rise 24 hours after O and stay there until AF (14dpo) or preg. When did your temp first go up?

berecca623: awww, that story was so sweet!

nicksterUK: wouldn't it be better if you were just financially independent and not have to worry about some dumb boss?

tina_k: sorry...sending cyberhug

pbstar: I wonder if there's a 12-step program for POAS addicts like you...LOL

nicksterUK: wouldn't it be better if you were just financially independent and not have to worry about some dumb boss?

Hey tempest.... not every boss is dumb..... there are some good ones.... I have many staff...... we are nt all that bad.

Ok... running off to cry now.... sniff... sniff... :cry: :cryinglaugh: :cry:

Well I am glad to get on here and here some good news, congratulations Katiegirl :dance:

My GF is not good, only a matter of hours unfortunately. My parents are at the hospital now with him, just waiting for the phone call, arggh.

Oh Angel, your different of course, they must be talking about stupid middle age men bosses. Not all the fabulous ladies in their mid to late thirties who are now taking over the world! Hey, does everyone love Cashmere Mafia or what? Although they are perhaps a little too perfect, its lovely to see the world as it should be! Good luck with your diet!

Tempus - sorry about AF. It could be a missed MC, the night before my MC my hcg was only 7 (I knew it was going down) -so that wouldn't have shown up wit just a POAS. Just take care of yourself.

Tina K - still got my fingers crossed for you.

Pbstar - I just realised I'm soooo rude, I didn't even congratulate you about your weight loss before getting into my rant about not being too hard on youself and my exercise regime. Sometimes I'm just too dumb! Well done and keep up the good work, YOU go girl!

Canary - did you really go for a run at 5.30am!?! Go get em!

Kategirl - :confetti::confetti::confetti: Congratulations - so happy for you!!!

Jodsan - :hugs:

Tina - :SAAF:

Berecca - I know how you feel with the 'one track mind' around O time. It's difficult to keep it exciting when you know you kind of have to 'tonight' because you want to conceive.

Tempus - hope AF settles down, goes away and stays away (well for 9 months -ish- anyway)!!!

Nickster - look forward to hear about your growing tummy. Take care and keep us informed in here.

Wow - this thread has gone from a cake shop to a gym - geez. I had a bit of nougat honey log tonight then felt guilty :p

Not sure if I have O'd yet or not. Temp says no but body says yes, I am starting to wonder if my bbt therm. has had it's day? How long do they usually last? I've used this one since May last year (almost everyday). ??? Oh well, time will tell.

Take Care all - :bluedust: for everyone!!!

hi girls

feeling slightly guilty this morning as i broke my no alcohol ban on myself last night, had a couple of yummy pina coladas with DH but now i feel really bad...keep thinking what if i am pregnant and i've done some kind of damage...

my rationale at the time was that i have to stop letting TTC rule my life but now i just feel bad...i think deep down i believe that i did cause my miscarriage by having a big binge drink a few days before i found out i was pregnant and i swore myself off alchohol because it might happen again...

anyway i probably am not preg so shouldn't worry...

hey jodsan, thanks for the encouragement hun, i never thought you were rude though! sorry to hear what you are going through on the family front, sending you a big :hug: i hope for your GF's sake it is pain free and peaceful...

tempus- if there is a 12 step program for POAS addicts i think i have conquered the first step- admitting i have a problem!good to hear it wasn't an early loss for you and wishing you all the best with your stress reduction...

hi to everyone else and big hugs.

Jodie, :hugs: So sorry to hear about your GF. I lost my wonderful GF almost a year ago and I did not know that it was possible to cry so much. I hope that you and your family have all of the care and support you need right now. one bit in your post did make me laugh, I didn't go running at 5.30am! I am in the UK, it was 6.30pm. There is no way I'd get up at that time of day, never mind go running then!

Katie- Yay!:happyforyou::stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: I just knew someone had to get a BFP this week. Many congratulations, have a H&H 9 months. (don't be a stranger)

Pbstar, No, no, no. With all of my heart, I do not belive that you were in any way to blame for your m/c and you must never believe that. Just think of all the alcoholic mothers who spend a whole 9 months completely pickled and give birth to a live infant, and then compare that to your one night. And, dont feel bad about the Pina Coladas. During the 'great coffee debate' , someone (?Angel) said that by depriving yourself of something that you want, you are making yourself more stressed. A couple of drinks once in a while (when not preggers) might actually do some good! There. Lecture over, appologies for being a bit stern.

AngelB- I didnt know you could get 10 packs of HPTs? It sounds as though you have an in-built contraceptive device, going off DH at the wrong time each month!

Nickster, Ha! I really dont like that nasty lady you work with, I'm glad your boss stuck up for you. It's nice to hear that you are feeling sick (IYKWIM)


Tina, Sorry for BFN. :hugs: Like you, I'm also waiting for AF now. Waiting for her is much less exciting that wating to POAS.:(
Hope everyone is OK,
C

Hi everyone. Thanks for all your lovely messages and positive vibes. I am going to hang around here for a while, as I intend to have a few friends come over to the PAML thread with me! I am hoping to see the GP today - DH says he is not believing until fully confirmed - and yet he keeps smiling at me and this morning he woke up and started rubbing my belly.

Pbstar - please don't be hard on yourself for having those ****tails. I think it is really important to allow yourself some time out from TTC thoughts sometimes. When I had a huge night back in Jan for DH's birthday, I felt normal for the first time in a long time. We had started to TTC and I had considered not having any drinks, but in the end i did and I am glad as it allowed me to just be completely irresponsible. I think we all try so hard to be responsible all the time, that a little bit of irresponsibility is not a bad thing. You need to be kinder to yourself. And you DID NOT cause your mc!

Tina - I think you should test again in a day or so. I tested Tues afternoon and got a negative. I think my urine was too weak as I had been drinking a lot of water etc. If AF is still not on the way then you are still in with a chance.

Hey girl... your not out yet.... Until AF arrives your still a possible......... so now its a 2 and a bit week wait... thats all good.... until she raises her ugly head.... look at nickster... she thought she was out and now she has a huge fat tummy growin and at any stage now she will start the pukin.....LOL :bhcontract:... ohhh why isnt there a smiley for ms....LOL

Well today my alarm went off at 5.30.... ohhhhh I so wanted to push snooze. DH was lying there peacefully....... probably when I love him the most at the moment ;) ("o" is on its way).... anyway up I got and off to the gym.... 10 mins treadmill... 10 mins step thing... 5 mins rowing... OMG I was sweatin it up something cronic by the time I was finished... Ohh I also did "body balance" last night and walked out half way through... what a waist of time that was... I swear the instructer must have been as high as a kite... maybe if he shared some of the people in there could have been a bit more into it. But as for food... I just cant do it. I ve cut out all the junk.... I m eating everything I m meant to be eating but I just cant get it up to the 2000 calaries a day I m meant to have. Healthy stuff just dont have the calories :(

Well I m off....... time to wake DH and get ready for work.

Take care... and Canary... I want POAS every day off you until you get the BFP or AF arrives.... one of the other ok!......LOL

I had an FSH and estrogen today and the results came back normal. But I still think my progesterone is off. I'll find out next week when I get another bloodwork.

Angel Babies: well OBVIOUSLY not YOU. I meant those *other* dumb bosses!!!
so please don't cry...sending apology vibes and a big bunch of cyber flower.

Jodsan: keeping your GF in my prayers. keep us posted.

AJC: i've used the same Becton ****enson BBT since 2003, both to TTA and TTC...

pbstar: i hate to see you eating yourself up with guilt. Just remember all those party girls out in Hollywood drinking and stuff and still have healthy babies. Not that I recommend it, but you know what I'm driving at.

big congrats Katiegirl, wishing you all the very best!!

Well I'm home finally and getting stuck into studying, ick!! Alas no time for excerise today with study and a 3 yr old to keep entertained. Such a sad state of affairs lol I am so really very heartbroken as I am sure you can all tell :cryinglaugh:

Well i got what I thought was AF yesterday at the 27 day mark, but it turned out to only be some light spotting as today I have nothing. That never happens to me so I am not sure what my body is doing, very frustrating. See what happens over the next few days I guess, I am usually 28 days like clockwork, I wouldn't be pg as DP and I have been using condoms while I await the results of my blood tests to make sure we have the thumbs up. Unless a couple got away but I doubt it. Heart attack city if they did lol.

Could also just be my hormones re adjusting as this would only be the second AF since m/c.

All very frustrating!!

Howdy to everyone, Good Luck to all this month!!

....Laura

Hi ladies,

I have not been on for a couple of days and you girls have been very busy here, it has taken me a while to read everything.

Katiegirl: CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so happy for you.
NicksterUK: Believe me I can imagine what you and Katiegirl and Starrysky: are going through, I know that I will be feeling the same way WHEN I get a BFP. I am already thinking about the fact that everyday I will be wondering if everything is ok with the baby. And I just realized yesterday that on top of dealing with the emotions of just having a m/c I am 41 years old so I will be worrying about other things that can go wrong because of my age. What I am trying to say is girls try to relax and enjoy your pgs. I can feel that everything is going to be fine with all of you and your little ones. But please stay with us we all love hearing from you guys you give us hope.

PBStar, Angel Babies and Jodsan, I too have been putting on weight, I am eating everything in sight. Now you have to understand I am not a big eater, but then again I used to smoke a pack a day and quit in October. I weighed myself and I was shocked to see that I have to lose 20 pounds.

PBStar, Thanks for the CalorieKing.com I am going to check it out, and congratulations on losing weight. And no you did not cause the m/c because of a few drinks, I totally agree with Canary on that.

Angel Babies and Jodsan, you girls inspired be to get to some excersizing.

Jodsan sorry to hear about your GF.

Tempus, I am sorry AF came, I know March will be our month.

Tina_k, I know you got a BFN but AF has not come yet so it is not over.

I got my AF on monday, I was really hoping to have a November baby but when I found out about the mc in Dec and I was planning TTC again I figured it would happen in March so hopefully I predit correctly. Anyways I can't remember who said that they did not want a Dec baby, it really isn't so bad my son was born on Dec 25th and he still gets 2 gifts, I just had his birtday party 3 weeks ago. So hopefully I will have another December baby.

Hello to anyone I have missed.

Hi all 0- once again thank you for your lovely messages of support.

I am driving myself insane! I have just gotten back from the GP - and the test is definitely positive. She did warn me though that mcs are common - so of course I am now freaking out. I also had my blood taken but won't get the results until Tuesday. She told me that if i feel I need some peace of mind, to do another preg test with FMU tomorrow - if it as dark as yesterday's than I can relax. So I went directly and bought 2 tests! :D No stopping me. I am just one big ball of overwrought anxiety. I need to relax - breathe in, breathe out.

Magda - fingers crossed that March is your month. I have 3 nieces and nephews with Dec birthdays - I think you are correct - all it takes is ensuring their birthday is kept seperate to the other days.

I hope we get some more BFPs to join me, Starrysky and Nickster - I need someone to be neurotic with me.

I hope we get some more BFPs to join me, Starrysky and Nickster - I need someone to be neurotic with me.

---

I'll tentatively join you. Got a :bfp: this afternoon and now I am making myself sick with worry.

What if I get my hopes up again and have them dashed again? I don't know if I am strong enough to deal with that again just yet.

OH suggested 'putting out of my mind for a week' - yeah right!!! - and testing again next Friday. Which I will do - the testing, not the putting it out of my mind bit.

So, here I am, head-cased and excited and nervous and worried and sad and happy and confused and petrified....

wow brockstar great news

Hi Brockster -that is wonderful news. We can worry and obsess together. I hope all goes well this week and you get a lovely BFP next week.

My ob called to say that all but 1 of my tests have come back and they are all negative -so that is one less thing to worry about.

I am going to have a mantra for the baby - simple and short - 'You are coming home with me'. I can imagine myself saying that a million times over the coming weeks.

Thanks ladies.

I guess a big worry I have now is people saying 'oh gee, that didn't take long'.

When really, it's no one's business but ours as to how long we waited or how long it took to fall again. For me, this is a POSITIVE thing. I've had too much negativity in my life recently, so something positive is a GOOD thing. It doesn't mean that I am hurting any less from my m/c, it just means that we are healthily moving forward and not dwelling on what could've or should've been...

And I know that you all wouldn't say that, because we are all in the same boat and you all know the emotions that run.

Congrats Brockstar :happyforyou:

:clap: Katiegirl and Brockstar- YAY!!!! :happyforyou: I am thrilled for you- welcome to the 'every twinge is a panic' neurotic 9 month gang! I had a lump in my throat when I read your posts xx :stickyvibesgirl: for you both, and me too!

My mother rang to say my sister had a baby girl early this morning- Labour lasted 45 mins so she only just made it to the hospital! I am so relieved that I have BFP now cos I know today would be hard for me otherwisw, IYKWIM?

Anyway, I am quiet serene (spaced out more like) and chilled today and decided to take the morning off work to see GP and try to settle my nerves/anxieties a bit. DH says to be assertive (which I normally am, so he can't understand why Ive not stamped my feet a bit more- neither can I). Maybe I just know that no matter how many tests are done, or scans etc if something's going to happen there is nothing I can do about it. Still, I'll see what GP says and take it from there.

Throwing TONNES of :bluedust: over you all- get lucky soon! ;-) xxx

So whilst I'm sitting here in la-la land, can someone help?

I haven't had a period since my m/c 2.2.08 (5 weeks ago). OB said I O'd around 22nd Feb. And today the BFP.

So... how would I calculate my due date? I know this is getting ahead of myself a little, but how does this work?

hello ladies!!

katiegirl - huge belated congrats on ur fantastic news - well done and well deserved!:confetti::confetti:!!! look after your mind, spirit and bod now....sending you positive positive vibes to get u thru these coming months.
brockstar - congrats too hun - so very pleased for you! of course you are experiencing all of those feelings - I know I would be - just take it one day at a time, keep rubbing that belly and keep positive thoughts and tell urself that u deserve this blessing.
Nickster and Starrysky - you are both in my thoughts and I am wishing you all the best for continued health and happiness!
Magda - hey hun! glad to hear you sound more up-beat! you know, after my m/c in jan 07 we deliberately avoided (or didn't try as much to)TTC in march for fear of a Dec baby. but after subsequent m/c and TTC for the longest of time, a Dec baby doesn't matter so much. having said that, have to wait til April to TTC anyway. amazing how your mind changes on these matters. I have to say ur son is very special to be born on such a well-recognised day.
ll80 - it would be kind of cool if you got the go ahead to TTC and managed to conceive underneath the radar (wayward sperm) in the meantime. If not, I'm hoping it happens for you very soon....

brockstar - similar thing happened to me and my OBGYN suggested an early u/s to determine the weeks.

Hi Ladies,

Hope everyone is doing well today. I just wanted to quickly ask a question, I have to go get showered and dressed.

Brockstar: CONGRATULATIONS! So happy for you. And you know what who cares what people think, people are not going through what you are. You know I am going to go through that with my family but I don't care want they think.

Anyways, last night I went on FF and imputed my temps for the last week. This is the first month that I have imputed my temps, although I took my temps in January I did not imput it into FF big mistake because apparently I had my dates all wrong I actually just ovulated last Tues. a week later than I thought I did and I did not BD then. No wonder I did not become pg. So this is my question can you ovulated just 5 days before AF arrives?, because that what happened to me.

So in march I am forecasted to o on cd22. I always thought I o'd between 12 and 17.

But this month I am going to bd around cd14 and cd22 to cover my basis.

So I am actually feeling excited.

Have a great day.

Brockstar- congratultions! :happyforyou::hug:

Katie- Sorry I put the wrong name on my last post- hope you can forgive me?:redface:

AngelB- You always know what to say! You really cheered me up today.
I got another BFN this morning and although I kinda knew it was going to happen, I still felt sad. I rode to work on my bike and passed a young mum with a toddler. When I got to work, I found myself in tears in the ladies.:cry: Must be because AF is on her way. I thought that I was making a good emotional recovery since the m/c, but this BFN has unexpectedly stirred things up. I am felling much better now, though, after reading all of your posts and seeing Brockstar's BFP in there.

I also have some great plans for TTC this month and I'm glad to see that you share my optomism about the month of March, Magda. I dont know for certain, but I understood that the luteal phase (ie between O and AF) is usually the bit of your cycle that tends to stick to 14 days. It could be because of your m/c disrupting your cycle, but they should go back to normal within two months. HTH.

Sorry to be in a bit of a low mood today, ladies. I'll be my usual self next time.

When I had my post-op check up, OB did say he wanted to see me at 7 weeks, so I am just pin pointing that I o'd around 22nd, so in theory, that makes me about 4 weeks 1 day. I'll make the dreaded phone call this week and make an appt with him (last time I made the early call we suffered the m/c), so I'm a little apprehensive about it all! Will keep you all updated.

Hang in there girls, positive thoughts from everyone for everyone. March is the month! Go forth and multiply!! :)

Katiegirl and Brockstar - :happyforyou::happyforyou::happyforyou: Good luck ladies and hoping to join you soon :p

Just a quick question as I have weekend school today and I really need to hop in the shower!

I am now 4 DPO and today I had a temp drop of 0.1 which put me under the coverline. I know it can't be ovulation (well hopefully not as wouldn't that mean it would probably be ectopic????) so not sure what it is. If you wanna check out my chart and let me know that would be great! Cheers
