Excellent news!!! Congrats and sending lots of

You'll be fine

**STARRYSKY** · February 21st, 2008, 12:10 PM

okay, I have decided that I will do another test tomorrow, but I will not get excited by this until I see I doctor, I will wait till mon, as af is supposed to be due in 3 days, then if no af, will go see said doc and get another test then demand bloods, to confirm pgcy and for hcg quantitive test.
I have just spoken to dp and we have decided to not tell anyone this time until 3 months if all goes well.

Starrysky - that is wonderful news, I am so happy for you and sending lots of positive vibes your way. Try to stay relaxed and enjoy being pregnant.

You deserve some little green men

and some sticky vibes

Barbara

**STARRYSKY** · February 21st, 2008, 01:30 PM

thankyou for the little green men

!!and do you know what I have just realised? dps dad will back tonight! hes been living in QLD while we have been in his house, judging from how I felt this morning,which is only (hopefully...) gonna get worse, how the hell am I supposed to hide it?

"oh must be something dodgy I ate, "
cant say that EVERY morning can I?
and my mother will be poplectic if she finds out that dps dad knew before her!!
ohh this could get messy.

i was feeling really down today about TTC, it finally hit me that i have been convinced that i will definitely get pregnant this month (first real month trying after the missed m/c) and then i realised that maybe i won't...i think maybe i needed to face the reality though...

anyway it is so good to hear a good story

Congratulations Starrysky, wish you all the best, here have some more green men!

**tina_k** · February 21st, 2008, 01:41 PM

starrysky,
thats so wonderful

just try to relax, and have good vibes, were all praying it sticks for you.
hoping for lots more BFPs on here

**STARRYSKY** · February 21st, 2008, 01:43 PM

pbstar, I can soooo relate to how you are feeling. when I had my missed mc back in aug, we started ttc straight away, disreguarding advice from docs, parents, rellies,friends etc. they dont understand!
month after month has gone by with me in this ttcaml thread, watching most of my new ttc friends graduate to paml was really hard for me, at the beginning of this year there was only 1 or 2 of us left! ( that were here periodically, no offence meant to occasional posters!)
I hope this is the beginning of another clear out as we ALL DESERVE BFPS!!
good luck hun,
xxx

hi starrysky

thanks for your support- it's so nice to know there are happy endings!

It's funny because i try really hard to believe it will happen this month (trying to be positive) but then i think by being so positive i am probably setting myself up for a massive fall...i guess i need to try to find some middle ground

i can understand how hard it would be for you to see everyone graduating to paml, i am so happy that it is finally your turn! try to relax and enjoy it all

**tina_k** · February 21st, 2008, 01:55 PM

PBSTAR,
i also know how you feel. i had my fist AF after MC 2 weeks ago, so i am not even sure when or if i ovulated. All i want is to be pregnant again. Im so hoping that it will just happen again straight away, but im afraid that is not realistic thinking. I have all my fingers and toes crossed anyway..
TWW here i come....how do you ladies keep from going mad during this time? any helpful tips would be appreciated!!!!

**pbstar** · February 21st, 2008, 02:03 PM

hi tina

we are pretty close, i am on CD12 so hopefully i will ovulate soon....just bought OPK for the first time today and this is the first month i am charting temps and CM- so doing everything i possibly can!!! oh and most importantly we are BDing as much as possible!

i guess we can just try to stay positive but at the same time remind ourselves that if it doesn't happen we just have to pick ourselves up and keep going...

now that i have found this forum i think the TWW will be a lot easier than doing it on your own- at least you can talk to others in the same place

Good luck and my fingers and toes are crossed for you too!

**Katiegirl** · February 21st, 2008, 03:17 PM

Starrysky - a big congratulations! Such exciting news and so happy to see another BFP amongst us.

Well I have been working at a tradeshow the last couple of days so have not had time to write anything. So many pages to read through this morning, you have all been busy. If FF is correct than I am 6DPO but trying hard to pretend I am not in order to save myself from the agony of the TWW or disappointment if AF arrives. I have noticed today that I have a couple of spots on my face, which is not good. I used to always get a pimple or two 1 week before AF, that is how I always knew it was on its way. So will just have to wait and see. I see my naturopath on Monday, so will have her look over my temps just to make sure my body is behaving correctly, as last time she thought my temps were 'sluggish'.

Tina or possibly someone else mentioned that their Ob was not supportive of naturopaths. I would not take much notice, a lot of doctors do not go along with natural alternatives etc. I could tell my ob thought I was wasting my money with the naturopath, but I am a great believer in herbal and natural remedies so will continue. I also see the new Ob next Wednesday and am looking forward to it. I now have to get up the courage to call my original ob's office to have my file sent over to the new one. Tina - did you want a recommendation for a new ob? After I see Mark Umstad on Wed I will give you a report. From all I have heard (other women on BB, my naturopath etc) have all said he is wonderful. And he has his office at Frances Perry. Whoops - Tina just realised it was not you asking about an Ob at Frances Perry! So confused today.

**bettyboop** · February 21st, 2008, 05:50 PM

wow that is great news starrysky
hi to everyone elsestill no AF, talking to doc tomorrow

**plc1805** · February 21st, 2008, 08:19 PM

Firstly

congrats to Starrysky - sending stickiest of

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Secondly, just a quick note to say I had my Lap, all went well, they found early stages of endo (to be confirmed by pathology) behind my uterus and near my ovaries and they've cut it out. MY OBGYN said it could have been there for up maybe up to 12 months. So once I get AF in 4-6 weeks I should be good to go depending on how DP goes with his little sample.
Ironic how I need to wait now to TTC anyway.........

Thanks again ladies for all your support - very much appreciated!

Thirdly, hello to my birthday buddy AB - we have a double link now

Fourthly, special hugs to rest of you and let's get some more

in here!!!!

**STARRYSKY** · February 21st, 2008, 08:25 PM

thankyou plc, i will take all the stcky vibes i can get!!
Im so glad the lap went ok for you and all that nasty stuff is cleared out. are you in much pain? I know I was when I had mine a few years ago, I had a hysteroscopy at the same time as well as d&c (just for good measure!!

)
and then I went to work the next day!! I am sur I ripped a few of those internal stitches!! yowchies!!

bettyboop, I hope your doctors appointment goes well tomorrow, Its about time they did something for you.

**plc1805** · February 21st, 2008, 08:32 PM

A little sore and light headed but pretty good otherwise. Yep, had D&C & hysteroscopy as well along with dye studies. I'm thankful for the comprehensive investigation all at once.

**Shanti** · February 21st, 2008, 08:55 PM

Bettyboop - GL tomorrow with your appt

StarrySky -

you deserve it!

Girls, do you mind if I join you in here for a while?? *sighs* I feel a bit lost... all my ttc friends have moved onto the pregnancy threads now and left me in the ttc thread! Mind you, there are some lovely ttc'ers in there still that I chat to aswell!

DH & I are both 27 and ttc our first baby....I'm happy to hang in here for a change anyway and make some new friends if possible... I had a early m/c in Nov and since then, haven't been able to fall pregnant again....

I've been off the pill since March07 and actively ttc since Sept07 but it just doesn't seem to be happening... *sighs* i guess I'm just feeling so very very frustrated that words can't describe and I know you all know how this feels..... I just hope it happens soon...

I feel bad saying that though when I know others here have been ttc for longer than me or lost a bub at a later stage than me....
Thanks for listening! I look forward to getting to know you.... hopefully we all get our BFPs very soon.
