Angel Babies--I think working on your relationship is a great way to take your mind off getting pg! I'm told that's when it happens--when you aren't even trying. Glad to see you're standing up for yourself!
Natty--So sorry for your BFN. There's no words I can say to take away you paid, but my heart truly feels your pain. Praying for a miracle for you next month! God bless....
Not really sure how my cycle works, so I'm not really sure when AF is supposed to show up. When we decided to TTC it took about 6 mo's from the time I stopped the pill to get pg. During that time I only marked the starting day of my period, not how long it lasted. I don't even know when I'm O'ing. Any way to figure all this out without actually purchasing an O'ing kit? I guess if AF shows up I'll at least be able to calculate how long my cycles are. I had never really worried about getting pregnant then, I figured it would happen when it was supposed to. Then it did, and it just never even occurred to me that I would m/c. Now I'm so confused with when I'm O'ing, and how long my cycles are, and whether or not I should even worry about it. I just feel really selfish b'cuz I want to be pg right now! I don't want to wait, and I wish that those of you who have to wait, didn't have to wait! Sorry, just feeling a little anxious and needing to vent. Thanks to you all for listening and understanding!
Technically I could test today, but I am too chicken! Tomorrow is AF day (provided everything is finally back to a sense of "normal) I have no AF symptoms...not 1 pimple and I ALWAYS get 1 or 2. I feel a teeny bit nauseaous BUT I am sure it's nerves!
smilanatu--Hoping and praying you get a BFP! Good luck!
Arrrghhh - I cant believe it - I POAS this morning and got a :bfp:. So my head wasnt playing games. DH just said "oh well dont get excited because I dont want to see you upset like last time and I dont want to be upset either". Which I know he is right but he could at least have given me a hug. I know our m/c really affected him as well - he has been a total saint since, but.....
I just knew those vivid dreams werent normal for me. No other signs though but I guess I am only about 11DPO.
Angelbabies - you are so right about getting your relationship right and making sure you are treated the way you deserve to be. I waited two years to get our relationship right before we started TTC and I feel a lot more relaxed about everything and better about bringing a child into our family knowing that DH and I really do love each other. Our relationship was pretty bad at one point hence the two year wait!
Jodsan - did you test I am dying to know...
To all you lovely ladies - thank you so much for your support. I hope to see that you all have BFP very very soon.
Natty
angelbabies: as always, thank you for your inspirational words :)
i think you have the right idea, getting your relationship as strong as it can be first. all the best...
also, did you mention that there was a 2WW area on BB?
smilinatu: good luck with testing...let us know how you go!
jen805: i know exactly what you mean when you say "i want to be pg right now"!!! - me too!!!!!
hi to everyone else...
as for me, i feel much more positive this month, so fingers crossed that we will get some +ve news, i think im up to CD20 of a 33 day cycle, so well and truly in the 2WW :)
Hello Ladies
Wow i haven't been here for a week or so and look how much i have missed. I am still catching up on everyone so there will be no personals this post.
Welcome to all the newies i hope your stay here is short and supportive
Hello to everyone else...............How are we all doing? How are all our ladies going with all the BFP's?
What's been happening with me.............Well i have been a bit blaize about the TTC this month even though i had promised my self i was really going to focus on it as i really would like a BPF this month but as it has turned out my mind has been in other places. I don't even know if i O'd this month let alone BD around the right time. Well i am keeping my fingers crossed that this is a BFP month but if not it really is my own fault for not concentrating on TTCing.
Well sending lots of :bluedust::bluedust::bluedust: and positive vibes for more :bfp:
Natty - Yey, yey, yey, yeeeey!!! Congratulations! Crossing my fingers it is a sticky one, sending you some :stickyvibesboy:
Angel - This TTC really does take its toll on everything around us, and definately on our relationships. Taking a break sounds like a really good idea, just to be two people in love again. Just enjoy your time together for now, you'll know when you're ready again. Good luck, will be thinking of you.
Definately AF for me, heavier than I've ever had before, absolutely no chance it is implantation. Only a 25 day cycle this time, really strange. I was feeling fairly confident that I'd conceived too, I'm wondering whether I may have and it didn't implant properly so I am having an early mc. Dont know? I have made an apointment to see my unreal doctor next Friday (she usually takes a month to get into so I'm lucky) to show her my chart and see what might be going on with my body. Thinking I probably need a break from TTC now too, too many disappointments and it just seems too hard on my poor body.
Good luck to all of you for your next cycle, hope you dont have much longer to wait!
Hi everyone, I'm still in TWWing mode...
Angel Babies: I'm sorry. Sending cyberhug. I think it's great you and your DH do communicate, even if it's rocky sometimes
berecca623: good luck!
danielsgirl1113: I would call the doc
Katiegirl: best of luck
Magda: sending encouragement vibes
tina_k: I'm in the TWW, but trying not to get too crazy!
fiona264: my side effect from clomid this month was insomnia...and yes, it's a prescription, because it's pretty powerful stuff...
jen805 and prayingandhoping: welcome to our site. I'm sorry you had to go through that, and I'll keep you in my prayers.
Hi Ladies,
Wow, it has taken me a while to read all of the posts. I have to make this quick now because I have to get some work done.
AngelBabies: I am sorry to hear that you will not be so involved with our group because your posts always make me happy. But I do understand that you have to focus your energy else where so that you can come back and be ready, hey I bet that while you are working on your relationship you will get an unexpected suprise. I really do hope that happens to you. Do let us know how you are doing .
Jodsan: I am so sorry that AF showed up I was so rooting for you. Keep your spirits up, It will happen very soon.
Tina K; GL Gl:bluedust::bluedust: for you. I am keeping my fingers, legs and toes crosses for you hun.
Katiegirl: Congratulations on hearing the hb. I am so happy for you and I agree with everyone here you are going to have A DECEMBER!!!! or is it a November baby that is happy and healthy.
Berecca623: Congratulations to you!! I am so happy for you too. Another happy and healthy baby!!!!
Natty, Natty, Natty, CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! (when is your period due?) another December baby. I know exactly how you feel because I POAS today twice 1st time it was an ept and at first it said BFN and I got alittle disappointed I thought It is just too soon still. Then I went to get my son's clothes out for him and came back to the bathroom and there was a very faint vertical line appearing. At first I thought it was the sunlight and I kept moving around. But there was a + sign. Then I went out and got the Clear Blue that has a window that will say pg or not pg. And POAS early evening and it said Pregnant. :bfp: I can't believe it. I am in shock. I so hope this baby is ok. Oh and guess what too ladies I am going to be a Grandma. So I went from no baby to two babies, wow.
Congrats to Natty and Magda - 2 BFPs in one day! How wonderful. Here is some stick vibes for you both :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl:
Good luck to everyone on the 2WW - I hope it is not too agonising and passes quickly.
I am starting to feel that maybe this baby has a chance - and yes I am due November.
Magda - congratulations!! Thats wonderful news! Wishing both of us :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: Its both scarey and exciting isnt it?! My AF is/was due either Sunday or Monday. So by all accounts it will be due early December. A Christmas baby for us both!
Katiesgirl - thanks for your congrats. And lots of :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: to you too. Does that make you about eight weeks?
Jodsan - I am so sorry hun. I was so hoping that you were going to get a BFP. You had all the good signs. It will happen soon for you, I can feel it.
Natty
Magda, congratulations x 2, wow, mummy and a (young) gradma!! My mum was 37 when my brother made her a grandma! Hope it all goes well, I'm sending you heaps of :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl:
Yey, 2 BFP's in one day, has cheered me up already!
Thanks Natty, I'll hav a good chat with my doc, I'm sure she'll sort me out. She didn't conceive her 1st until 39 and I haven't seen her for a while so she may even be going through the same problem trying to conceive a second.
CONGRATULATIONS TO NATTY AND TO MAGDA:confetti::happyforyou: Wishing for the best christmas present possible for your families.
OK everyone that's two down, how many more can we achieve in the next few weeks.
Angelbabies - When your ready, come back and join us, just don't forget to pop in occasionally and straighten us out. You've really got a positive outlook on life, and you're right TTC does take a strain on any relationship, although I believe it does make our relationships stronger, so hopefully it won't be long before you get a :babyneutral: to add to your family.
It's been a while since i posted so i'll give you an update - firstly my car was supposed to be back from the smash repairers last week (unfortunately that was delayed) so, it looks as though i'll have it back tomorrow. I had it for 9 days, they've had it for 34 days, maybe i should get them to make the next repayment!!!;)sad huh.
i've just come back from my gyno - he still prefers if we go through IVF - although we don't feel that is for us as we already have two sons and if can't have another baby (the other way), we'll just resign ourselves to that's it. So, i've told him no IVF, he sent me for a million blood tests (about nine vials later), a lot of them related to the m/c. he commented that he wished he'd known about the m/c cause he would have ordered other tests at the time (he was the last person we were thinking about at the time). Also increased dosage of metformin and we're going to try tamoxifen - has anyone tried this? as clomid doesn't seem to make a difference, although i am ovulating.
Huge Huge Huge Congrats. I love it when people come in here and seem to go just as quickly.... Not that I want you to go but you know what I mean.... Not TTC anymore.... BFP instead.
All the best over the next few weeks.... our hearts and prays go out to you :pray:
As for me.... Well I m not going anywhere. I have decided I am still officially TTC. So therefore I can still come in here..... I just dont know when the official TTC as in conception will be..... For me now its step one... build on relationship.... then worry about sperms and eggs. (who knows... by then DH s might have learnt how to swim) So i m still going to be here to watch everyones progress.... to check up on how all the big fat tummys are going, bake cyber cakes, smack hands for negative thoughts and generally keep an eye on everyone.
Hello Ladies! Just read back thru the last 6 pgs of this thread... gee, a lot happens when I go away for 6 days...!
Anyway, congrats to any :bfp: and :babydust: to all in the tww.
Things are still cruising along here, symptoms are much, much stronger than last time, nausea is really bad (no red meat - cooking, buying OR eating - for me, it's gross!!!) and the bb's, well, it hurts to put a bra on some days...
OB appointment on 8 April, so :crossfingers: that all is well. Am guessing I'll be about 7-8 weeks then.
:hello: to everyone and I hope that you all had a lovely easter break.
Wow - what a day. 2 BFP's -
:confetti: CONGRATULATIONS Natty & Magda:confetti:
Wishing you both the very happiest and healthiest of pregnancies!
Jodsan - understandable that you might be ready to take a break. I felt so good after we had our 4 month break at the end of last year. It's so hard not to let it consume your life though. Maybe you need a nice holiday too?
ll80 - good to hear you are relaxed. Spread it around if you can, he he he.
Angelbabies: am now taking Clomid hence the chuck chuck chuck. Have been fine ever since but I'm only cd8 today so long way to go. I think working on your relationship sounds like a good idea. This month I have decided to focus on romance month so I went out and bought a stack of candles today. Have big plans for next week. Glad you'll still be here to bake our cakes ;)
smilinatu - did you test today? Good luck :bluedust:
The Mummies to be - glad you are all doing well. :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
Mollycat - Ah ha - same Ob/Gyn. Would be a tough to embark on the IVF journey. Good luck with the meds and hopefully things will happen.
Good luck everyone in tww!!!
So much has happened, sorry if I've missed anyone.
:clap:wow congrats on 2 BFP anybody else.
trying to keep busy, my opp is 11am monday, trying to think positive , after all this i am praying the doc will say yes you will be able to have children , deep down i am so worried he will say sorry you will never have anymore children , i just wanted to give my new husband a child .
Congratulations to Natty and Magda. Well done and sticky vibes for you both.
bettyboop Good luck for Monday. I too wanted to give my new husband a baby...you know, a bit of both of us.
Hi to everyone else......
Just popped in to check on everyone and had to say :happyforyou::happyforyou::happyforyou::happyforyo u:
to NATTY and MAGDA!!!!!
Congratulations girls and I hope you both have happy and healthy pregnancies!
Hi Ladies,
Thank you to all of you for the Congratulations and happy wishes.
Brockstar, As crazy as this may sound, all of your symptoms are wonderful. This morning my breast was hurting and I was like Yes!.
Natty: My af is due on Monday as well. And I forgot to tell you that my husband's response was the same as your husband's. I guess they don't want to be too emotionally involved.
Have a great day ladies.
:dance: CONGRATS on your :bfp: ladies!!!
I did POAS twice and got :bfn: both times :cry: so this wasn't my month...I am disappointed and since there are no signs of AF (due today) I am praying my cycle isn't getting ready to go haywire again! I had never had AF issues until I m/c in December
Hi Ladies
just wanted to wish you all lots and lots of luck TTC
When i was trying for number two we were delighted when we got a BFP it was very faint when i was 8 weeks i noticed spotting and even though i had spotting on my first i just knew it was wrong when i went to the hospital they kept me in and scanned me found an empty sac cyst on ovary and closed cervix said i was 6 weeks but i went on to lose they baby luckily it was complete and i didn't need an d&c
I was told to wait on till i had one proper cycle before trying again so feeling sorry for my self and so sad we waited for my AF to return and start TTC again 8 weeks later and no sign so i braved it did a test and got a bfp lept off the test he is 5 now
when we found out i was pregnant this time i was terrified it was going to happen again as it was a very faint positive again but thankfully baby a sticker and doing well
so good luck to you all and lots of sticky vibes :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl:
Until Aunty Flow knocks on the door there is still a chance...... and even if it isnt this month then it could be next month. Tommorrow is a new day!
Angel Babies...I absolutely adore you! Thanks for the smile! I aprreciate your positivity :)
first of all huge HUGE HUGE congrats to Natty and Magda - well done!!!! I am so so so so so so so PLEASED for u both!!!! :confetti::confetti:
I will bbl for personals - have been reading just haven't posted. Take care!!!!!
[QUOTE=prayingandhoping;1203918]
I want so bad to be pregnant again...
I am just struggling...with fear, apprehension and jealousy.
Is this too soon to start trying again? Why do I feel like I am going soooooo crazy?
QUOTE]
Prayingandhoping - welcome. What I have quoted above (and don't think I did it properly) is totally NORMAL. I felt so guilty at first about most feelings especially the jealousy but once I accepted that this feeling was normal I seemed to cope alot better.
I am really sorry that you are here but I'm sure you will find great support in here. Hoping you get that BFP and h&h pregnancy very soon.
Niamh75 - thanks for popping in. It's always so encouraging to hear stories like yours.
smilinatu - sorry about the BFN. Until af arrives though anything is possible. At the very worst I hope you have a normal cycle but will be happier if it's just too early for a BFP.
Bettyboop - good luck for Monday. I hope you hear the words that you need to hear.
It's nearly the weekend everyone - :dance:
Oh Magda, I know! I also promised myself that if this one was a sticky one, that I would NOT COMPLAIN about any of it. But by gees, I've been sick!! :cryinglaugh: As much as it sux feeling like this, it's also a good feeling as well.:
Brockstar, As crazy as this may sound, all of your symptoms are wonderful. This morning my breast was hurting and I was like Yes!.
But I'm STILL NOT PREPARED to post in PAML thread or add a ticker until I've seen the heartbeat.
I'm sorry I just cannot catch-up with everyone - there's no way I can do that mammoth post again and, as a result, I feel like I am failing u all by not being able to keep up :( I just feel for everyone in here. The BFP successes are like it is that much closer to happening to me!! The BFNs are so disappointing and I feel them too. The anticipation of those going in for procedures is almost too much to bare. The words of encouragement from some to others are like words of encouragement for me too. And I am also LEARNING so much from u all and drawing from ur strength and I feel bad that I can't always give as much in return, try as I might. I am in limbo in my own situation (altho we were VERY VERY naughty last night and did not use a condom but should be ok i think) but from next cycle on when we can actively TTC, if I get a BFP u can sure as heck bet that I'll be sharing it with u all first. :grouphug:
Angelbabies - bday buddy - u wanted details hun - there's not much more to say. Just hanging out for green light on 15 April, the ap has told me my kidney energies are unblocked and have improved heaps with general well-being, the naturopath has said all is good to go to. So 18 more sleeps.....
Hugs to u hun - blanket u and ur hubby in love and we'll see what results from ur time under the blanket :lol:
i thought yesterday was a bad day but it gets worse, my sister has just told me her 17year old daughter is pregnant, i left straight away and cryed and cryed, then my ex was being a pain, i went to see my doc my BP is up and my feet ar puffy and i am stressed and if my BP does not come down they will not do the opp. my sister could have waited till next after i had had my opp:(:cry:
oh betty, so so sorry. Sometimes our relatives are so insensitive.
i know its hard, but please just try to focus on being calm and getting your BP down, so you can get your opp and move forward..
take care of yourself, tina :)
betty - come on sweet, now's the time to just focus on u and ur body alone, you've been hanging out for this op for so long now, don't do ur body any injustices at this point by focusing on other stuff that is only going to make u spiral. Let ur sister and other family members focus on that now. you wanted this op and it is now around the corner so shut out the other noise and listen to ur own positive thoughts talking to ur own body and willing it to produce a positive outcome. This is ur pre-op chance to be selfish and nurture you and you alone.
You go girlfriend.... passing the batton to you...... between us both we'll just have this place full of positive thoughts people feeling better about themselves.... go you good thing :clap:
Oh Betty - :hugs: As the other girls have said, we need lots of positive thinking so you can have your op on Monday. Sending loads and loads and loads of positive vibes across the Tasman right to your doorstep.
Hello Everyone,
Magda and Natty~Congratulations on your same day BFP's:bfp:-How exciting! And I can't believe baby and grand baby will be born at the same time Magda-that should be fun!:clap:
AFM, I have been feeling better this week...My doctor called and said my recent blood work came back with normal levels of HCG so I definitely won't be needing a D & C which is good and I haven't had any bleeding in almost a week...Hopefully only a few more weeks until I can start the Clomid again, but in the mean time I am glad we have taken this month off to heal and relax a little before we start this whole thing over again...i am so scared that it will take a long time again and that when it works that I will m/c again-as you all know, completely nerve wrecking!
Hope everyone has a happy Friday!
MMteacher
bettyboop--I feel your pain, hun! I just found out last night that my cousin's pregnant. When we decided to TTC I had told her, and she told me that she was also TTC. Now she's pg with a GIRL! This is the same cousin that I was pg with back in '95 when I had a blighted ovum and 2 very early m/c. I actually went into the delivery room with her back then when she had her son, which was pretty hard for me after the m/c's. As soon as she had told me that they were also TTC again, I felt some sort of competitive streak (stupid, I know). We rarely talk, so I didn't even know she was pg until last night when my son told me. Of course, I would never wish for something bad to happen to her child, it's just hard b'cuz we had to be fairly close in due dates. The waiting and wondering is killing me! It's day 23 since m/c, and not sure when I'm supposed to start. Time normally moves so quickly, but lately seems like it's moving in slow-mo! Betty, don't lose focus on what's important right now--YOU. I truly know how hard it is trying to stay focused on yourself, but it's not just for you--it's for your child. Be selfish right now and take care of yourself. My prayers are with you for your op on Monday. Stay true to yourself!
Today I have mixed emotions...AF is here which means my cycle is back to "normal" BUT with that arrival comes the disappointment of not this time...oh well in about a week and a half I should ovulate again. I will be 37 next Saturday and while I know I'm not too old...I feel like I am getting there...
Hi Girls,
My Goodness! What a lot to catch up on. I have been away for a few days and so much has happened.
Firstly, Bettyb. Oh, girl, everytime I see your name on a post, I read it really eagerly, hoping that there is some good news. So, so sorry about your neice. (I guess she is a bit upset about the news herself?) Take everyone's advice and make sure you look after yourself. You are the most important person right now. let everyone alse in your life take care of themselves. I'll be thinking of you on Mon
mmteacher, Hi! I am so sorry for what you have been through, but I am glad that you have found us here. A month off TTC to heal and relax sounds like a good way to start. As for that baby shower- did you decide not to go? I was invited to one recently and was like: 'no way!' Had to invent an excuse. That would have been way too hard.
Jen805: Hi! Welcome, I hope that you have short journey here. I know what you mean about not wanting to wait.
Praying and hoping: Hello. thank you for sharing your story. As so many of the other girls here have said, your story is familliar in many ways. It is sad that this is what has bought us all together, but here is not such a bad place to be, there are lots of wonderful and supportive people here.
AngelB- Honey, BIG HUGS. You are so brave. It sounds as though you have made a really important decision. Look after DH and you, and well done for not letting TTC drive you insane!!
MAGDA and NATTY- YAY!!!!!!!!!! There is a pop up blocker, so I cant use emoticons, but HUGE congrats to you both- you are inspirational! Sending sticky vibes***
BERECCA- I cant remember whether I have said congrats to you or not, but congrats again anyway, plus sticky vibes!
Jodsan, Aww, booo to AF. I can still remember last month, when AF came to visit me. I was so dissappointed and cried and cried. I hope you are feeling OK. Sending you baby dust for next month. **
ll80- Hey! Fancy that, a condom breaking! Well, i'd better not make any more comments, or could get too saucy! (tee hee) Am I to keep my fingers crossed for you for an 'accident'?
plc1805- I have taken a leaf out of your book and am trying to reply to everyone- it is pretty exhausting! I hope you are doing OK. Still waiting for April 15th?
Fiona- Hiya! I agree with everyone who said the your Dr was unnecessarily nasty and that you need to find a new one. How is it going with the low GI diet? You have much more will power than me! Good luck!
Hi Pash- it is nice to meet a fellow Pomme! Lucky you, off to a wedding on the Gold Coast. I went to one nr Sydney a few yrs ago- perfect excuse for a trip to Oz. Hope you are having a good time
Smilinatu- Hey, hun. Really sorry for AF visit. Are you OK? I know it is dissappointing. GL for next month.
Danielsgirl- Are you still waiting the go ahead to TTC? Your charm sounds really lovely
AJC- Hiya, sorry that you are getting side effects from Clomid, hope it works, so fingers crossed for this month.
Trac- I envy you, not concentrating on TTC! I have found it really hard not to get too bogged down by it all. I reckon it is probably more likely to happen if you're not thinking about it
Mollycat- I hope your blood tests all come back OK
A big Hello to the 'pregnant, but too scared for PAML thread' bunch: Nickster, Starrysky, Brockstar, Katiegirl.... I think I would be scarred too. Take care of yourselves
And finally, a big hello to Tempus and Tina , I have come to join you in the TWW.
AFM: I had a FAB time away. Really lovely countryside, bike rides and snow (yes, snow- I cycled in a blizzard!!) We stayed in a gorgeous B&B. When we saw I room, I had a huge grin on my face, thinking, 'what a perfect place for our first child to be conceived in!' I am doing really well on not getting too hopefull or consumed by the fact that I may be pgt.- Although it is early days yet, only 2dpo!
Sorry if I missed anyone. Lets see some more BFPs please ladies!
Thank you all so much for your support. I am currently waiting to see if this cylce is relatively normal and then the hubby and I are going to start trying again. I've done a lot of thinking and praying and hoping...and I have decided that I am not in control of any of this. God is - he gives life and he takes it away. I've learned a lot about myself, my DH and my relationships with other people. I also have learned that my plan and my timeline don't really matter, because God is in control of everything. I am going to do what I can and then just trust him to do the rest.
Best of luck to everyone...you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you all...you are amazing women!!
Remember - It's all alright in the end...if it's not alright it's not the end.
:pray:
oh praying and hoping, your words really hit home with me, im really trying to focus on being positive. You are right, God is in control of everything, and even though i wanted to have ths baby so badly, He didnt think it was the right time for me. Ive done all that i can, and now i have faith that God will do the rest. thank you for your inspirational words :)
