Morning ladies! This is going to be a long day for me... It's only 7:20 am here, which means it's just after midnight there--I have a long time to wait for all my Aussie friends to wake up! Hope my state-side friends are just lurking around here somewhere, I'm feeling a little chatty! Hope to hear from you soon!
Hi all,
I am waiting to for either BFP or AF, i am 2 days late for Af and i think thats 16dpo, have done several tests and still getting BFN, don't know whats going on,my uterus and left ovary are aching, it's all very strange.

Hi Jen, Im up...its 12:04am here, Im going to go to bed soon but just thought Id get on here and see if anyone was about!
I have just had a long day of retail therapy, ended up spending about $500 on clothes for myself, DH and DS. Its great while you're doing it and then the guilt hits :wall: Oh well, at least we are all set up for winter now....we need it, its about 6 degrees (celsius) tonight...windy, raining, thunder and a bit of hail....ahhhh, I love it! Getting all cosy in my pj's, sitting by the fire and watching the footy, nothing better. I was definatley ready for winter, after our horribly hot weather in March, it reached 41 degrees celsius which is 105.8 degree Fahrenheit....hot hot hot and we had 16 days straight of that weather, I dont cope well in the heat!
Anyway, my bb are still a bit sore and only getting worse by the hour. Its definately going to be a long 2 weeks with these babies...swollen, tingly and aching...oh the joys!
issy--I LOVE retail therapy!! That's usually the one thing that actually makes me feel better! Don't feel guilty--relish it! Ok, so it is winter there? It's just about to be summer here, but never gets up to 105! Further up north it does, but I live on the coast, so the ocean helps keep it cooler than it would be inland.
Sorry to hear about your sore bb's! This is something normal that happens every month? Must be very frustrating not knowing whether it's from your cycle or from being pg! :fingerscrossed: that it's b'cuz you're pg! Hope you sleep well!
Mazibelle-- :welcome: I'm in the same boat at you! I haven't tested since Thursday, and have decided that I'm just going to wait it out at least until next Thurs. to spare myself from seeing that horrible BFN! :fingerscrossed: that we've just tested too early! I've felt some twinges for the last couple days on my left, and also felt the same twinge on the left when I think I was O'ing. Not sure if that's common with AF--I always thought my whole abdomen hurt when AF was around instead of being on one side or the other, but maybe that's just wishful thinking! And mine isn't really an ache, it's more like a pulling or stretching, then it goes away. I don't really know what to make of it, so I'm probably not much help to you! :confused: Sorry! Good luck, hope you get your BFP!
Hi jen, yeah you're right, I should just enjoy the retail therapy, it is lovely having new things and I definately find it therapeutic ;)
As for the weather, its not winter yet, its autumn, it will be winter in june, so we have a real mix of nice sunny days and cold wintery days...you never know what your going to get! I also live on the coast, but in Aus it gets that hot even on the coast, especially where I live, which even though is south is still one of the hottest places in Aus. Nobody really lives too far inland because it reaches 131 degree Fahrenheit there almost everyday (in one place the entire popluation in town lives under ground...truly), and there is no such thing as winter. Up north there really is no such thing as winter, they only have a dry and wet season, its tropical so its about 86 degree Fahrenheit consistently all year roung, it just rains for half the year and is dry the other half. So we have an entire country of people living mainly along the coast. We all grow up on the beach, you have to here, the summer is just unbearable if you dont.
Have you ever been to Aus?
issy--I usually get an e-mail when someone responds to a thread I belong to, and for some reason I didn't get one after your last post. I've been checking out this new site called twoweekwait.com. Check it out, it's really interesting! Let me know what you think. BTW, no I've never been to Australia, but have always wanted to!
smilinatu, treelo...sorry to read AF has come. i'm on 1 DPO officially but i do think i did it on the 10th day, my usual trick before the m/c. anyways, i'm back on the TWW rollercoaster...:goodluck2: girls, :grouphug:
:hello: karan, I don't think we've met. Welcome back and hope your rollercoaster ride ends with a BFP!
Looks like i'm out - my temp took a nose dive this morning so AF should be here tomorrow.
mollycat--Oh, cr*p, huh I'm sorry! Could it be implantation dip?
Ok ladies, I'm completely confused about something :help: Was at FF and entered in that DF and I BD last night. Next thing I realize my forecasted AF day, which had been the 24th, has disappeared and I don't even have one now for April. So I look ahead to May and it says my forecasted fertile days are 1-3rd with O on 4th. Finally shows AF on 19, but then on 26-28th I'm supposedly fertile again, with O AGAIN on the 29th! :wtf: How could I not have AF for April (and how the heck do they know this?), then O again before she even shows again?!?! I don't get it! :confused: Then, how can I O twice in the same month? Anyone have any input on this?
jen - honey u have the most bizarre info on ur chart - i have no clue as to why this is? but I am perhaps not the best person to ask cos I am fairly new to all this. Can u contact someone at FF for some advice as to why it might read like that? btw, so cool that u still don't have AF - how many DPO are u now? R u thinking u might test again soon?
mollycat - sorry hun about the temp drop - is there any chance it could be imp dip like jen said? can u feel any cramps coming? i still have my fingers crossed for u, just in case.
karan - hey great to see u again sweet!! GL and positive vibes that this is ur cycle!!
issy - so wonderful to hear of ur retail therapy - not a bad idea at all!!! how u doin in general?
mazibelle - hey honey welcome - had some really sharp pains too in my left ovary and some milder ones in my right last night in bed. it was pretty sore but subsided at least - have ur pains gone now? keep me posted on how u go with those.
hi tempus honey - hope ur doin ok and looking after urself - mind body and spirit.
sorry if i have missed anyone - :hug:
afm, temp rise this morning made me happy mainly cos I haven't temp'd that hi before but fully aware that it is just as likely to take a dive tomorrow....
As my avatar suggests, I'm always ready if u want to join me for a cyber cuppa and a chat, it's what I love doing the best
Jen - someone up there is playing with your mind. Will you test again today? or go to dr for blood test?
No it isn't implantation dip (i think cycle is too far along for that, but would be nice). no cramping or anything and i've gone off meat (so was feeling really hopeful) the smell of it just sends me. I don't really cramp before hand just get headaches which so far i haven't got. :crossfingers: that my temp goes back up (but I doubt it)
plc - i hope your temp keeps rising - we really need some BFP's around here.
:goodluck: to everyone in the TWW.
plc--Bizarre is right! I don't know what to make of it. And I have no idea what DPO I am, cuz I'm not even sure when I O'ed! I noted on my chart that I had some mild cramps on 14 & 15th, then watery CM on 16th. Fertile days changed to 16-18, but doesn't ever show O. Of course, I don't temp and the only day I noted CM was on the day it was watery, so there's probably no way for the program to accurately predict when I O. I would assume that maybe the day after my fertile days? But that's curious b'cuz the crampiness was before my supposed fertile days! I may have to break down tomorrow and go get another test if AF doesn't show by then. Stay away, stay away, stay away!
Jodsan--I've been reading the gender swaying thread today, and you seem to have so many ideas about everyone's charts--any idea what could be going on with my chart? I also had a question on the Jonas Method you were talking about. You got me so curious I just had to check it out. Put in my date and time of birth and found out I was born when the moon was in Leo. So then it's showing me a calendar for April, and the only day that the moon is in Leo in April is on the 12. It said:
11:31 VOC, 11:32 FQ, 20:40 8d, and 23:30 Leo. So I'm a little confused. Does that mean that the only day I could have conceived was on the 12th? (which happens to be a day that we :bd:) Then does it mean at those times listed, or just on that day--cuz I know we BD'd earlier in the evening than that! Then, last thing, it said B (was hoping for girl, but right now would just be happy with healthy!) with a risk factor of 1. :help: :confused:
Hi ladies, hope you're all well today,
Plc- Yes the retail therapy was wonderful. AFM ? Im doing ok, started to get very tender bbs the other day at only 3dpo, which I took as a bad sign, but they seemed to have settled down now and are now normal for this stage of my cycle, so im happy. Not feeling really confident this month, but hey, I?ll get there?.one day!!!. I hope you temp stays high, that?s great that its higher than usual?.could be a very positive sign :crossfingers:.
Mollycat ? sorry to hear AF might be on her way?..still, as we say, you never know!!!
Karan ? GL for this month?.fresh start, new chance, hopefully it will end in a BFP for you
Jen ? Weird weird weird cycle for you hun. I don?t know whats going on with your dates. How long are your cycles usually, cause don?t you usually ov at about half way through? For e.g. I have 33 day cycles, which means I usually ov cd 15-19 (about 14 days backwards from your AF due date is when you most probably ov?.i think!) Sorry I cant be of much help to you hun, but Im praying that AF just stays away for you and that you don?t see her for another 8 months. BTW ? I checked out the TWW site ? it was great, I ended up being on there for a few hours without even realising, I got so caught up in reading other peoples stories :D
Mazibelle ? Hope AF doesn?t show up?:pray: for a bfp for you
Smilantu, treelo and Ciera?s mummy ? hope you are well and happy?sending :goodluck2: to you all for this new cycle
Tempus ? GL with testing this fri (I think that?s when you said you were going to???) Wishing all the luck in the world for a BFP :pray:.
AFM - Im just plodding along, trying to be patient and distract myself by doing lots of work. I'd like to try and be as relaxed and carefree as I can be about this cycle, so im trying really hard not to think about it. Im not temping and charting so I have no idea whats going on with that, and I keep losing track of my cd because im not writing them down on the calendar....all in an attempt to relax about things, lets hope it works ;)
So anway a big hello and :hug: to all including those who arent mentioned in this post :redface: sorry - im thinking of you all.
issy
p.s sorry about the questions marks everywhere....I DID IT AGAIN !!!!(grrrrr)
Hi issy--I wish I knew what was going on with my cycle. For Mar. my cycle was only 25 days, this cycle already on day 30. When I count back 14 days from my original date AF was due (24th) that puts me O'ing on the 11th. Which puts me closer to the original chart which showed O on 9th. I also had headache, increased hunger, and cramps on the 9th, so I really thought I had O'ed when it said. Strange, though, because CD 16 & 17 also had cramps, irritablity, and even some spotting on the 16th. And then the chart changed and showed fertile days were 16-18. Seems like I showed O signs for both those weeks! The only thing I do know is that the last 2 times we BD'd around that time was on the 12th & 14th, so I'm not even sure it's possible to have conceived b'cuz I'm not sure of when I O'ed! Can a woman just not O one month? Then can she O twice in the next month like my chart shows I'm going to? Sorry for all the questions--I'm just so confused. :confused:
Good for you for not temping and charting this month! I hope it makes you feel less stressed out and helps you get your BFP!
Ok, friends, no more confusion. POAS=:bfn: "sigh" I'm actually ok with it, though. I mean, I'm not thrilled, but I had already had that "feeling", you know? After the last test, I just knew that it didn't happen this month. And since the 14th was the last time we BD'd there's pretty much no way now that I could be. Actually we did the other night, but that one doesn't count as far as TTC! Still no AF, now I just wish the old hag would show and get this over with. FF chart better be wrong--I better not have to wait until May 19th for her to show! Although it shows I'll be fertile at the beginning of May, I just don't see how that's possible if no AF yet. ????? C'mon AF get your *$$ here!
Jen - like i said in the other thread - so sorry hun!!!! Where to from here do you think re AF going awol? :hug:
Mazibelle - any news re AF yet? or otherwise?
hey issy, mollycat, tempus and karan - how ur all ok.
Me - just a little temp drop today. Had the distinct sensation last night in bed that something let go or released in my lower abdomen. Time will tell if that means anything....
hi all
i think i am ready to move over here to the TWW although not 100% sure i have ov yet- usually i ov on CD19 which is today but have had EWCM since Friday so maybe i did earlier this month? anyway am just feeling a bit down this morn- i wanted to BD this morning just in case i do ov today but DH was too psyched out IYKWIM- we ended up having an argument and i got all teary and emotional...it's so stupid because i have definitely relaxed so much more over this whole TTC thing and have been so concious of not putting pressure on DH and not making BD a chore etc but he still says thats what i am doing....feel like i can't win. i asked him if he doesn't want me to tell him when i am fertile but he says no of course i should tell him because otherwise we might not BD but when i do tell him we dont do it anyway!!!
grrrrr anyway we did manage to BD quite a bit over the weekend so fingers crossed i am still in with a chance this month
sorry for the selfish post, needed a vent, feel much better now
will catch up with how you are all doing later today
pbstar--Sorry you're feeling down :hug: Please don't feel selfish about needing to vent--that's what we're here for! Hope you're feeling better!
Hey ladies! I was all set to check my emails tonight when my next door neighbor called me to watch her kids while she ran out to the pharmacy. (No emergency or anything, thank goodness). So long story short, cant' write personals although I'm thinking about all of you.
On another note, I actually have breast tenderness this months. But I'm not, repeat NOT putting any significance on it other than I haven't had it in a very long time.
But this is the only place I can talk about my boobs on the internet and not feel pornogr@phic LOL!
Best of luck to all!
tempus-- :rofl: you crack me up! What CD are you now?
Girls - I don't know how to tell you this and I am shaking as I write but I am very weak and couldn't help POASing this morning even tho I said I was going to wait til Sat when AF is due. Anyway, I got a bfp - and it wasn't even FMU. I am only 12dpo so I guess I just need to wait til Sat to POAS again and then see how I go from there - day by day. I am very very nervous but totally aware that I could m/c early and even if I don't, my past m/cs have left me with a lot of issues about seeing u/s's with no heartbeat present. If all goes well and I get to see a heartbeat, I will truly feel this one's for real. I can't believe I am actually giving you all this news, I knew I felt strange and just had to know if it was in my head. Whatever happens, I am not robbing myself of the joy of receiving a bfp ...... finally! U all r the only ones who know besides my DH (not telling anyone else for the longest time) and I'm getting teary just thinking of how much you all mean to me and how grateful I am of ur support and strength. From the bottom of my heart - thankyou.:grouphug:
plc-- :happyforyou: Already posted in other thread, but just wanted to tell you again how happy I am for you!!! Here's some more :stickyvibesgirl:
Thanks Jen - I pray that u cop a break and get an answer one way or another.
I'm joining Jen - i posted in the other thread too, but am so happy for you just needed to say :cheer: again.
plc- yay :happyforyou: how exciting. Im so happy for you....now just take it easy and relax and enjoy your pg ;) :pray: that its a healthy and happy pg for you hun....WELL DONE!!!!
Jen - sorry to hear about bfn, but I guess at least you now know whats going on....i think???? Anyway, here's to a new cycle (when it starts) and a new chance, im sending :pink-babydust: to you hun.
A big hello to everyone else, and here's some :pink-babydust::pink-babydust::pink-babydust: sprinkled for all....(and maybe a pinch for me ;))
Issy
Thanks issy - i'm trying hard to relax but DH and I scared out of our minds. It's going to be a slow acceptance process - not being negative - just trying to protect our bruised hearts. Thanks again!!
I finally got the results from my day 21 blood test - Dr in surgery all day but got results from secretary who said anything over 30 is good mine came back at 56.8. I'm still sure that AF will be here tomorrow as temp took another dive this morning, so we'll see what next month will do.
PLC - :hooray::stickyvibesboy: just wanted to say that again before i head off for the night.
For everyone else in the TWW i just want to sprinkle some :bluedust: around
plc - i completely understand your aprehension. But as they say, we cannot change what we have no power over, we just have to let it be and go along for the ride. This is now my new mantra....I cannot change what is not in my control, so I will take it for what it is and make the best out of what Ive got...whats meant to be will be. Easier said than done right???? Ill be :pray: that everything will be ok for you hun. I know its hard to be excited when youve been through m/c, its horrile because it taints every future experience with pg. I guess we all just have to take one step at a time.
AFM - I had heaps of watery cm today, it felt like I was leaking all day (sorry tmi). I dont think its from ov as Im pretty sure I have already o'ed, so im not sure about that, will see how we go. I did have some weird pain in the shower this morning though, almost like a kind of little scratching in my uterus. I know I felt that pain the night before I m/c. Luckily I know im not having a m/c this time....im only a few days past ov! Im not one to look into things too much which is good, I usually know when im going to get AF and when im pg. The 3 times that I have fallen pg, I absolutely knew it. Luckily I have never been fooled into thinking I was when I wasnt....im just too sceptical and I know every twinge in my body. Anyway, im certainly not looking too much into this, as I dont feel pg, IYKWIM. We shall se hey????
Sorry for the rant, :hug: to all you lovely ladies.
Issy
issy--I like your new mantra! Although I would much rather control my own life than just go along for the ride! :lol: :pray: that this is your month! :bluedust: :stickyvibesgirl:
Hi everyone!
Firstly I want to spread some :bluedust: for everyone!!!!
It's been a little while since I've posted here. Been very confused and just trying to keep busy. Started a new job and trying to get back into the swing of things. Had a few friends give birth recently and a few due in the next couple of weeks, so I guess I've been trying to keep myself distracted. AF is almost 2 weeks late now, and I've POAS about 3 time and each time it's been a :bfn:. It is my first proper cycle since I lost my little girl, so maybe that's it. But I still can't help being scared that there is something wrong and I wont be able to get pg again.... Sigh. Just a bit down I guess!
I'm keeping my fingers crossed for lots of :bfp: here this month!!
Love to you all!
Hi tutmae--It's been a while since we heard from you! Welcome home :) Sorry to hear the witch has gone awol for you, too! I'm having the same problem right now, although not for 2 weeks, but it's still very frustrating! It's much easier to deal with a BFN when you know your cycle's starting over, but to be in a state of limbo without knowing when she's going to show... :wall: Don't worry, our time's coming! I'm sure, like you said, it's just because it's our first cycle--I hear it's very common. Sending you lots of positive vibes! And something else I think we both need--AF vibes (c'mon flo, bring it on!) We need to get back in this game! Take care and chin up! :hug:
tutmae - I have known the feelings you are experiencing about wondering whether something wrong with me is causing me to not get pg. Chin up hun - ur body has been thru a battering and needs time to get sorted again. For peace of mind I always suggest to go to GP but try to relax (yeah right!) and put some beautiful energy into ur bod. I hope both u and jen get a visit from the witch so u can both get back in the game.
Thanks again issy and mollycat for ur good wishes - love the mantra issy. I've been making up some chants on another thread to try and boost the vibe in there and that mantra would do the trick in there too.
Well to all of you lovely ladies as well as tempus, pbstar, mazibelle and anyone else I am sure to have missed, I want to thank you for ur amazing support and I now bow out of this thread and try to work out where I fit in next. I am doing some serious praying for myself but I have a lot of prayer left for all of u and I sincerely wish you all the best.
Aww, plc, you're going to leave us so soon? Please check back in with us now and again to let us know how you're doing! I'll be :pray: for you! Good luck!!
AAAwwww Jen - I only figured that I am not in the 2ww anymore and didn't think I should still be here. I'll still see you on the other thread though - not leaving there in a hurry.
plc--I saw the post in the other thread after I posted this one! Somehow I had the two threads mixed up, so I thought you were leaving the other thread already! Then I realized it was the TWW you were leaving and I felt much better! We'll chat in the other thread--see you there!
I actually finally have a little news...AF coming. Started spotting earlier :clap: :hooray: AF! lol, I must sound crazy! So I guess that means I have to leave for now, too. But I shall return--and I'll still talk to you guys in the other thread! :grouphug:
hello ladies, i'm baaaack! lol got to do something to distract myself now i'm officially back in the TWW...i'm 3DPO according to the chart, but as i've mentioned in other posts i'm actually thinking i'm more like 7DPO. still i'll try to be strong and not POAS till the AF is due chartwise. BB's are tender, or should i say i'm very aware of them, and in other times it's meant that i'm pregnant. but still, not going to get my hopes up too much. yet. i should be due for Af about mother's day...looks like i'll have to keep dusting and blogging to keep myself distracted...TAFE tomorrow, thank goodness...
hi ladies
just thought i would pop my head in and see how everyone is going with their TWW
i have been out of action computer wise for a few days but glad to be back. i think i am around 5dpo but not sure when exactly i ov this month. i am pretty sure i am not preg though because i didn't BD as much as i wanted to...and just not feeling any symptoms either way.
anyway fingers crossed for everyone else, hope you are all well
