Hi everyone, just a quick post before I have to go to work, then on to vacation!
I'm in the TWW. I really hope this time it's a pregnancy--a healthy one.
So I explained to my FS why I didn't want to go on the $700-per-month stimming meds. They were okay with it (like they have a choice, but you know what I mean). Clomid is enough for me.
Hoping everyone had a fantastic weekend. I can not believe the amount of reading I had to do to catch up. You go girls!!!
Hello Hammi - have you done any temperature charting etc to see if you are ovulating?? I found it quite soothing to do this as it lets me take more control and at least I know that I am ovulating.
Please please Tildy look after yourself and be healthy - I can understand where you are coming from. With going through IVF and other fertility drugs, having another miscarriage, I find that I am putting on weight and the worst part is - I cant lose it!!! it is so frustrating and I am trying so hard.....
Rozzie I am so glad you have found a good Dr. It is so hard to do and I find most Dr's are so blaze about everything.....
Jo76 You poor thing. It is really hard for people to understand in what we have all been through and that we watch every sign. Though I look forward to hear from you on Wed to say that the scan when all fantastic and bubs had all feets and hands moving around.
Tempus - I am like mad that we both get our well deserved BFP this month....
and hello to Katiegirl and Denek.
Well with me, I am going to the natural therapist tomorrow and catching up with her. I found this to be very beneficial. The hardest part is eating for my blood group, though I did break out on the weekend and had some chicken - yummy!!!.
Hope everyone has a good day. BFP this month for all of us who are trying....
ok guys!
Rant # 10,657: Medicare. For those in aust i probably don't have to say too much more but today i went to get my refund on the $205 i spent on our ultrasound 2 weeks ago. (i lost the receipt -oops). Anyway the lady at the counter says that there is a problem and did i have a 17-22 week ultrasound last year. I said yes and she said so how far are you for this one i am holding and i said i was 17 weeks when it was done. She looked confused and i said that last years ultrasound was to tell me my baby had died and she said that because through the system it considered only a "full term" pregnancy and i did'nt have enough time to have gone full term and then be 17 weeks agin i could'nt get the refund and she had to refer me to head office. I was so shocked, in a happy perfect world none of us would even be in this forum and if there is anything that this site has taught me it is that there far too many of us around so how can medicare not factor this into their system. Yet again, got the tears and the lady was lovely but i felt so s****y at them. Man, i tell you i HAVE to come out of this pregnancy stronger after all these little blocks along the way. But good news - this baby after a 3 days hiatus has decided to kick and move around again. Cheeky bugger, so my comfort movements are back again!
katie - we have pretty much mirrored each other and although devastating we are in this position to have got to know each other, it is also a comforting thing also. I hope your feeling better!!! My nose and throat seem to have started clearing up! HOORAY!!!!
Tildy - i love blogs so i jumped straight on, you are a great writer! No wonder your DH insisted so much! This might be a really great negative energy release for you so good luck with it and keep it going!!!
sryan - if you ate the chicken and enjoyed it you obviously needed it! i believe if you really crave anything then you need it for a reason only your body knows so take it as a good thing, even if it was a naughty slip from your blood group diet. I think your are strong enough for even sticking to something like that! i am hopeless!
TM - thought about you the other day - you are sounding happier, poss the thought of vacation time most likely! Take care of you and i will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you!!!!
hammi - hearing other babies being born was probably the worst part of delievering Jack. Not long before he was born i heard that newborn cry from the delivery suite next to me and it almost killed every part of me because i knew we were both here for the same thing, just mine would'nt have the happy outcome at the end.
rozzie - hope things are looking up for you also...how are you going????
take care everyone -i'll update wed night after the ultrasound!

Jo - I had the same experience with Medicare. I had to explain that I was pregnant last year hence having 2 x 12 week scans within their period of allocated time as well as the 20 week. I couldn't believe I was standing there having to tell this stranger that the reason was that I lost a baby last year at 20 weeks. I was lucky that I didn't cry but I was so angry. She said they would refer it to the head office and it would take a few weeks to get the money back. Lovely!!! And yes it unfortunately isn't unusual to have a late loss -so why are we made to justify and explain our scans. I just adds to the difficult nature of what we go through! Vent over!!!
Glad to hear that bubs is kicking you again. I have also been getting some nice kicks to has helped my sanity. I am looking forward though nervously to the scan tomorrow.
Sryan - glad to hear you are keeping up with the naturopath - I am too. And don't feel bad about the chicken = just eat it! I am craving (and this is gross) a McDonald's hamburger - but I cant' eat gluten so it is off the list - but god I want one....
TM - good to see you back. I will say a prayer that this is your cycle.
Hammi - I have heard of Francesca Naish - do you like the book? If you haven't ovulated or suspect you haven't - would you consider seeing a naturopath to help kick things along?
Tildy - your blog is excellent. A great read.
I am starting to feel better as well but have a busy few days ahead of me. I think I have been run down and the baby is taking any good stuff I have and leaving me with not much else. I will let you all know how the scan goes tomorrow.
I also had the same issue with Medicare... I agree, you would think that there are enough of us out there that they would sort it out. I too fell apart and the lady behind the counter was lovely and I made quite a sight I am sure...
I remember when I woke up from the anaesthetic (I retained the placenta after my Angel Son was born) - and heard the first new born cries coming from the theatres. I felt incredibly and totally gutted. It was hideous...
