evening all.
kaib - have fun in Sydney! Best of luck for testing. At least your mind will be pre-occupied whilst you are away. As hard as it is you should wait till Thursday I reckon to do another test; that way at least if you are PG you will get much stronger lines... fingers crossed for you hon!
Treelo - try and hang out a few more days hon; i know its hard but 7 dpo is still quite early. I would wait until at least 11dpo so you are not disappointed
Acria - good to hear you have found a midwife. Now we just need to keep :pray: for your bfp this month. I will be in a similar situation july is my birthday and if I fall this cycle I will be due about the 22nd (a week before my 30th birthday); would be awesome couldnt ask for a better birthday present! Fingers crossed for the both of us!
Anyways girls having a convo in MSN with my friend then gonna try and have a fairly early night. Gotta be up at 4.45 in the morning to open the gym at 5.30
Have a good night, catch up tomorrow!

I'm not currently in the TWW (still have AF) but I thought I'd see how you girls/ladies are going :)
-
Can i put a question out to you all?
I used an OPK last week - it said i O'd on CD19 - now DH and i BD'ed on CD9,16,18,20,21 - do you think by the end of this TWW it have a chance of getting a BFP?? did we cover our bases? im stressing cause we didnt get CD19!!!!
-
HJ, I wouldn't worry too much if I were you. You covered the day before, and 3 days before, so to be honest, as the egg was coming, there would have been plenty of DH's swimmers waiting for her. I reckon you have as good a chance as if you had dtd on day 19.
I O'd on the night between day 13 and day 14, and dtd on day 11 and day 14..and it looks like I'll be getting a bfp. I've never had breasts so sore..and that feeling of unwellness has returned. But we shall see! Hope everyone is doing well.

Thanks Lisa - i really want a BFP this mth - just wish i could find out now! im not good at waiting! haha
Woo hoo - sounds good for you! goodluck with testing! are u testing tomorrow? can u wait until tomorrow?
haha i would be testing now!
-
Yeah, I really should wait till tomorrow, or even Wednesday, but if I go into town today I think I'll buy a HPT and test. I'm feeling quite sure..but very worried of getting a bfn (sick of them!). We'll see if I can resist the temptation.

if i was you i wouldnt be able to resist! my fingers and toes are crossed for you! think positive!

It looks like AF might be here. When I just wiped, I have a bit of bright red blood, not rich red, but enough to almost over the toilet paper. It can't be implantation..I had spotting two days ago, and this is too much to be implantation. I'm so upset..I'm in tears here, I really thought it was happening this time. Why does my body consistently let me down?? Am I really asking for that much?!
I'm so sad..and we can't try again until next March at the earliest, as we have to fly to England at the end of July.
It's not fair. Why are some peopel given children so easily, and they don't look after them, they do all the wrong thigns during pregnancy. It's just not fair...I'm meant to be 7 months pregnant, I'm meant to have a toddler!Why aren't we good enough to have a child? It's like losing my babies all over again.

acria - i am so so sorry hon that AF has showed her ugly head, bloody witch! Are you sure it is AF? How many dpo are you?
Chin up, try and not stress too much about it. I know that is easier said than done but try and relax. Have you been temping and charting?
-
No, haven't been temping and charting. Just..never seemed to get around to it. If this is AF, and I'm not pg (which I think is the case), then I'm going to lose weight between now and march (about 40kg..god..), and start tempting and charting, and see the naturopath recommended to me by the woman who would have been my midwife.
13DPO right now..so it is a little early for AF. Maybe, maybe not..she seems to vary since my m/c in June. 35 days, 28, 25, 27..and now..27 I suppose. I'm still holding onto a little bit of hope that next time I check, there'll be no blood, and I'll do a test in the morning and will get a BFP. Realistically though, I don't think it's going to happen.
It's weird though, because I've had virtually no cramps, and I always get cramps and sore hips with AF, my nipples and breasts have been so sore..so thirsty..it's just weird. I really thought it was happening this time.

Acria - I'm sorry that AF is on the way again :( I wish there was a good reason as to why we have all suffered so much, but there isn't. And each cycle can remind us again and sometimes we try again, and sometimes it is crushing, because a little bit of hope flies out the window. But we have to hold onto the hope, and try find some positives to try again in the future - because one day you are going to be holding a beautiful newborn baby in your arms. *hugs*
-
missbelinda - what nice words! Noticed you have been TTC since 2003, best of luck to you hon. Wishing you sooooo much :goodluck: May you get your BFP you deserve this cycle!
Ren - where abouts are you on the Gold Coast? We should meet for a coffee?
Anyways I am just lurking .... catcha's all later on.....
-
Acria - im so sorry hun that this is happening. I understand your anger and sadness, and i hope that you can find the strength somehow to get past it all. Im thinking of you sweety
hugs

Thankyou so much for all your kind and supportive words ladies, Sasha, Treelo, Belinda, LSB. It really does mean a lot to know there are people who really understand how I'm feeling, and have been there. It gives me that little ray of sunshine I need to feel like myself.
My body can't decide what it's doing. I've had another bit of blood, but very watery. Now it seems to have stopped, for now anyway. I think I'll do a test with FMU in the morning, that will be cycle day 28, so a test should be pretty much accurate.
I'm feeling okayish now, compared to before anyway. If I'm not pg, it gives me from now to March to lose weight, which will give me greater chances of successfully carrying a baby fullterm, and likely better outcomes for the baby as well. So there is a positive...I'd just much rather be pg now. Fingers crossed.
I hope you girls get some good news of your own soon as well. Thinking of you all, and hoping this place gets cleared out!

Lisa - im sooo sorry if it is AF - i was sooo hoping you would be one of the first to get a BFP!
Try and keep thinking positive and i know its hard but cheer up!

Hi ladies,
I thought I'd pop in quickly to give an update. Am down in Sydney - DH is on conference for 2 days, and then we've got time to do our own stuff towards end of the week. Meanwhile, I'm taking it easy in a motel room - brought the laptop with me - hence the quick post now.
Firstly I just want to say thank you for everyone who posted their encouraging words & best wishes in response to my posts on Sunday (after my very faint BFP).
Although I took another test on Sunday later in the day and it showed up an even fainter line, unfortunately I haven't had a positive result since Sunday. I tested again this morning with FMU and no line - not even the faintest shadow! I definitely think that Sunday's result was a positive, but I guess I've experienced a chemical pregnancy. I am definitely sad about it, but because DH & I looked on the first tests cautiously, I guess it's not as hard to pick up the pieces & move on, hoping for a better outcome next month. AF hasn't showed up yet, but my temps have been down since Saturday (when I started spotting), and they haven't gone up at all, so I'm anticipating AF is on her way still. I'm not going to test again until Thursday, but I'm pretty convinced this isn't my month. I guess this highlights the risks in testing too early, as we're more at risk of identifying a 'positive' pregnancy that just won't be viable - if I hadn't have tested on Sunday, I would still be thinking that this again wasn't my month. I had a dream last night that two doctors were doing all these exams on me in an attempt to save my unborn baby - I don't recall whether the baby survived, but I remember the contraptions that they were examining me with, and they were horrific (a bit like a horror movie really). Not sure what all that means in the scheme of things.
After catching up on the posts, I just want to say before I go that Beaksie, I am really feeling for you. I know things may seem quite bleak and hopeless at the moment, especially given that you don't know either way what is happening with your body - and it's the not knowing that is the worst. I know this may seem flippant, but I'm being sincere when I say that I am a firm believer that 'all things happen for a reason' - we may not ever fully understand the reasons (as there is much in this world that we can and will never understand) - but I really believe there is a bigger plan and bigger purpose in everything we go through. If we always got what we wanted straight away, we would never grow emotionally and spiritually, we wouldn't learn patience, and we wouldn't experience the joy and gratitude that we would experience if we had have waited for something. I also believe that each of us will be better mothers because of what we've gone through to finally get to that 'pot of gold at the end of the rainbow'. Our little ones will always be wanted, always be cherised, and they will always be a blessing in our lives because they were 'waited for'. I watched Sunrise this morning and saw the story about the 13 year old who is 14 weeks pregnant but doesn't know what to do with the baby (ie to keep or terminate) - in a way I don't feel saddened for the girl as she can still make a life for herself either way (as hard as her life may be) - but I really feel for that baby, growing up with the possibility of knowing that he/she wasn't really wanted. Our children will know that they were, and are, wanted. Beaksie, I am thinking of you, and for whatever reason you are having to go through all of this, know that we're here to walk with you through it.
A quick hi also to Acria - am thinking of you today as you test &/or wait for AF. I really hope that AF stays away for you so that you don't have to wait until next year. And Lee - wishing you all the best with testing - I can't believe you've held off since Sunday! Am thinking of you.
Hi to everyone else - I will catch up sometime soon. (So much for the short post!)
