Berry, My party is this weekend, in 2 hours actually... I'm not really looking forward to it at the moment actually I'm not feeling very festive.
Well I have just spent all day cleaning and helping my dad help me tile the splash back for our kitchen! Now him and DF are outside mucking around with the bore pump to try and get it to work but I don't think it's going to happen.
DF gave me my birthday present today... a violin!!!! I have always wanted to learn how to play and well.. I feel rather spoilt It was quite a surprise!
DD, Hun I have my fingers crossed for you on Monday
I'll have a celebratory drink for everyone seeing as I don't have anything stopping me!! May as well
Sorry I haven't been on earlier, I had my computer stolen today (well, my DF's daughter Jayde actually hi jacked it most of the day to do her uni stuff as her computer is broken) so now here I am!
Teagz I'm sorry AF reared her ugly head, had my hopes up for you sweets. I guess both of us have AF visiting at the same time this month (grrrrrrr).
I hope you're enjoying your 21st birthday party (your actual birtday is 10 March right??).
Have a drink on me hunni, and let your hair down!! When you're UTD you're not gonna have any!! he he
Diana, I really hope you're resting up this weekend and secretly celebrating your great news! I'm that your BT results on Monday are great, and then we can really celebrate!!! I remember when I had my positive pg test, I had another one a week later and then a 3rd test a week after that. So 3 tests in 3 weeks. I think my progestrone levels were a little low too, so keep dreaming big and thinking positive sweetie!
Always holding your hand hun xxxxxx
Dee, I hope you're getting all those positive vibes I'm constantly sending your way, and keep my fingers crossed for you for your BT. Remember, not all women 'know' they're pg before they get their BT done, sometimes there is spotting, sometimes no signs at all, and sometimes cramping. Still, sometimes, the results are good!! So will keep and hoping for a BFP for you hun xx
Lan, it looks like you'll be getting some hot action soon!! Keep up the good work and I'm for a BFP for you this time. Remember we want a sticky one this time, so keep visualising that little swimmer catching your nice little eggie! Keep picturing all those things in your head all the time, and it might just happen
Megan, fingers crossed for you too honey for BFP. It really sucks being in the 2WW, I know...lets dream big.
I thought I was going to have my transfer in May (F/S told me it will take 3 months for the uterus to heal) so I assumed I would have the transfer in May, but I'm only having my lining checked on 8/5 and then 2 weeks later I see the F/S to discuss the transfer so he indicated early June. i think he wants to waint until the uterus is well & truly healed before the transfer. I am so excited and impatient now, I wish it was June already!!!!!
Nae, you're poor hunni. I was out with a few girlfriends last night in the city, and mum called around 9pm and said there was an earthquake!! I thought she was joking. I asked DF who was at home watching the footy, and he didn't feel anything (must have dosed off poor love). I hope you can get some good rest soon hun. I love your new avvie!! It's beautiful that you've put your little angels in it. Just gorgeous.
What CD are you ATM hun?
AFM, I am so tired today, AF hit me hard this month. BTW Diana, my bbs are getting sore again before AF!! Great news my hormones are really coming back to normal. Yey!!! (not for the sore bbs, for the hormones balancing ).
Hello to all our lovely sexy mummas and babydust & sticky vibes and lots of bedroom action to all of us girlies TTC!!
Teagz, I hope that you ended up getting into the grove and enjoyed your party. What a lovely gift that your DF gave you, that is very special and something you'll always remember.
Beata, I can imagine how difficult it would be to wait until June, but I am glad that there is progress and you are moving forward. I love how positive you are, I need to try and think like that myself. We just found you that DH's cousin & his wife are pg and due in Sept, I had a little cry because we were meant to be the next ones in the family having a baby. That probably sounds really immature & stupid! I am really feeling sorry for myself at the moment and keep questioning why this happened to me. I think that it's going to be a tough month for me leading up to Jasmine's EDD on the 26th
Megan, big hun. I can understand the way you feel ATM, with someone else celebrating some exciting news, while you were supposed to be welcoming Jasmine into this world in a couple of weeks time. I also think it's extra hard for you as you haven't had your EDD and technically you're still supposed to be pg, it just isn't fair hun. Why has this happened to us hun????? I believe our little ones weren't ready to be with us and they will came back when they are, some other time. I truly believe that there is the 'right' time for everything that happens in our life, and I guess the time wasn't right for us. But it will be one day hun, I can promise you that. And now, when you're shedding tears of sadness and anger and jealousy and unfairness of it all, one day they will be tears of joy and happiness and awakenning of a brand new dream unfolding before your eyes, when you're welcoming a beautiful baby into your life.
Life teaches us many lessons, perhaps ours was one we needed to learn, in order to go onto greater things. I am here for you 100%, all the way leading up to Jasmine's EDD and beyond, and I hope that you can celebrate Jasmine's very short but beautiful life here on earth. I believe that we have been blessed to have had our babies with us, even if it was for the briefest of time.
Big hugs hun, let's get through one thing at a time. One day everything will fall into place.
Love and big hugs
Beata xxxxxx
I have to make this post quite short as I have a very sore back and neck so can't catch up on proper personals atm, sorry.
I forgot to mention that after my bt on Friday, DH & I were involved in a pretty bad car accident and I instantly felt pain in my back on impact. I got checked out by ambulance officers and thankfully it seemed I only pulled a muscle. Yesterday I woke up to a huge bruise on my back and I can't really move my neck so it hurts to do anything atm. This bloody stupid woman WITH 2 BABIES in her car was speeding like a demon, swerving in and out of traffic lost control and slammed into us from behind. She got out of the car yelling abuse at DH (when it was her fault!) and DH calmly said to her "instead of standing here yelling at me, I think you should check if your kids are ok".... unbelievable! Went to my GP yesterday arvo to get checked out again and he reckons I need six weeks of physio to help my injury.... this is all I bloody need.
Anyway I am thinking of you all and will be back with proper personals soon.
Just had to wish Teagz a super 21st Birthday for the 10th and I hope you enjoyed your party last night - oh and sorry that witch showed up. We so hate her....
Big hugs to all and all my love.
PS: Thanks for the whispered congratulations, you girls mean the world to me.
Diana, that's terrible news and the last thing you & DH need right now. Did the GP say that little bubs should be fine? I guess at this early stage they are burrowed in nice & snugly, so I am sure he/she is fine. Get all the physio you need to feel 100% again, that' womens insurance should pay for it. It's so ironic isn't it with you & DH doing everything you can to have a baby and this selfish, careless women not protecting her own, frustrating beyond words Hopefully after a couple of days the stiffness will also go down a bit. Thinking of you, you poor love. I really hope you get some good news tomorrow with some great results
Beata, thank you for your encouraging & kind words. The dream of having my own healthy bub feels so far away at the moment, but I know I need to be more patient. I am very blessed that I can conceive naturally, and just need to be patient for that to happen and for my little one to appear when he/she is ready. The waiting game feels much harder this time around then when I was first ttc. Thanks for your support, it means a lot
Teagz, I hope you enjoyed a couple of drinkies last night
Just a quickie post, have been feeling a bit off today...
Diana, please look after yourself and I'm sorry you've had such a hard time lately. The last thing you needed was a car accident (I would have slapped that stupid woman with all the energy I had left)..I just hope you're OK and please go to the physio if you're in pain as it will get worse if you don't. Always sending you and your little embie lots of positive vibes and love xxx
Good luck for you BT tomorrow hun, fingers crossed the results are great .
Dee, I hope you're OK hunni. Good luck with your BT test as well, I pray it's good news hun Sending you lots of positive vibes and praying for a BFP for you sweetie
Teagz, I hope you've havd a great party hun, and a few drinkies on us!! 2 more days and you'll be the big 2 1! Woo hoo!!!!!!
Megan, patience is something I don't really have, but lately I've realised that to achieve my dream of having children, I must do all the right things and make sure I'm 100% if it's gonna happen. I had to wait for my op, now I have to wait for everything to heal, and only when the doc gives me the green light, I will go ahead and give it my best. I'm learning to be patient, and I know that when my little one is ready to come to me, he or she will. It's really out of my hands, and I respect that, although it's frasturating sometimes!! Hun, you will have your baby to hold soon, let's practice being patient together!
Berry - Yeah you know what they say when it rains it pours!! Like most things you just have to take the good with the bad. Gippsland (as a whole region) does have earthquakes reasonably regularly I guess it was just this area's turn and made it a big one. There are a number of fault lines out here which is why there are open cut mines etc where the minerals are. I believe we're heading for something big but I wonder how big is big considering we are not on a major fault like San Fransico .... all we can do is that when it happens it happens in a non habited area.
Beata - whats wrong hun hope you not too sick or sick with a 9 month bug I have no idea where I am in my cycles. Its been 29 days since all the mc stuff stopped. I have made an appointment with a Dr for Thurs so if I don't get AF or a positive result by then (testing Thurs not fri) I will be a bit concerned about my symptoms.
Teagz - hope your party was awesome and one you will remember for years to come, thanx for the compliment on the Avatar I got the idea from yours You little trend setter you!!
I am still soo tired, I have sore boobs, tummy cramps, bloaty, and still a bit light headed. I am hoping I am UTD but if I am not I hope AF comes before the 20th coz DH and I are having our first weekend away in 2 years. Was gunna do some Prom walks but considering its shut I will be happy just to lay around in the cabins.
okay girls poas was BFN am totally gutted had to have bloods done as well and won't get those results untill wednesday, but as the doctor said 99.9% of poas are correct, just want to curl up and cry. will come back later and post when feeling a bit better.
Dee, I just wanted to send you a big hug - I know the feeling, its gut wrenching. You might feel just that little bit better if you spoil yourself today - go and buy yourself a lovely bottle of wine and some really expensive/tasty food. But I understand how nothing people say can help right now - but just letting you know that I'm thinking of you. I really hope that one day none of us recognise the names in this thread - that its one big empty part of our past that we'll one day tell our kids about.
Dee, forever the optimist I am. 99.9% POAS are accurate. 0.1% they are not. So I will keep hoping the evil stick is wrong (like loads of times they are I have heard). When I tested 2 days before my BT I thought I got a BFN too. So there is still hope and I'm praying for you it's still a positive for you hun. And if it's not, we'll all be heart broken for you, but will be there with you all the way next time hun.
Love always
Beata xxxxx
Firt Dee, I'm so so sorry. I'm with Beata though... I'm going to hold on to that little 1% for you and hope for the best. The battle isn't over yet!
DD, All my fingers & toes are crossed for your HCG level rise check this morning! That's awfull about the car accident!!! Some people are a worry, I hope your back and neck will be on the mend quickly. We had a similar experience on a trip up to Perth. DF was driving and overtook a guy just at the last bit of the overtaking lane (he did cut it fine, but not THAT fine... he still had plently of clearence between cars) and the car that he "cut off" made it his duty to make our life the whole way home a living hell. At once stage he almost ran us off the road... he'd pull in in front of us and then slow down, so we would overtake and he would start coming over to the next lane as we were pulling out iykwim. He was crazy! I have never been so scared in a car in all my life.
NaeNae, All those symptoms look very promising!! Only 4 more days til testing! that AF won't come for you.
Beata, great news about your hormones! Glad you can get excited about it haha. Not long til June now!!
AFM, Party went pretty well actually, I enjoyed myself in the end and let my hair down. I was a bit peeve with my Dad though, he ended up paying for EVERYONE'S meals & drinks.. and there was about 40 odd people there
And rest assured I definately had a drink for everyone because I felt rather seedy yesterday morning!
I'm feeling very excited this morning. We had planned to get married on the 3rd of oct, (a date we planned before I even got pg) and we had decided (well DF had decided) to put it off after Jayvan as we wanted a baby first, plus we were expecting to fall quickly which meant I would be rather fat and/or giving birth on our wedding date. But yesterday DF made an executive decision that it's back on. Yay! I'm so looking forward to something else to plan instead of TTC. something I have a bit of control over
I can't keep up with you girls! Congrats to Jas, good on you for pumping up that ticker!
Diana - I hope your BT is all good today, and that you are feeling ok after your car accident, stupid women!
Teagz - after reading your post about AF and that you should be 10wks away from having your gorgeous baby not trying again, I felt every string in my heart pull for you. I remember those days very vividly, still now I stop and think how I should have my 7 month old, but now we have a new life coming that we would never had, it is bittersweet. I do hope you managed to enjoy your party though.
Can't remember who was talking about it, but earth quakes????? I didn't hear that! My God what is going on in this country, horrific fires, floods, cyclones, recession and now earth quakes!
Hi to everyone else, far too much going on in this thread for me to do more personals!
Thanks hgris It was always a bit of a joke that I was going to be heavily pg on my 21st, so AF did hit me quite hard this month. I am over my tanty though, and I'm going to throw myself completely into this wedding and let nature take care of the rest, I think!
I'm in complete awe at you girls soemtimes. Some of you have had your heart broken more than once and I can't believe how strong you are, I don't think I'd be able to do it.
Dee, hold on to that 1% sweetie. My HCG would not have shown up if I POAS before my bt due to it being low, so it's not over yet hun. I have everything crossed for you
Got my results from bt this morning and my levels have risen but FS still thinks they are a little low - so another bt on Friday. He said he has seen women go on to have healthy babies with levels lower than mine however we should be cautious, particularly because I'm still spotting a little.
Here are the numbers if anyone has a comment or advice :
So last Friday HCG was 100 and Progesterone was 30 (16DPO)
Today HCG is 440 and progesterone is 39 (19DPO)
Diana - I checked out this website The BetaBase and if you look at 19DPO you are definitely not looking too bad The HCG ranges are pretty massive though so I guess that is why your FS is being cautious. So, I will continue to celebrate quietly for you...
Dee - I am sorry to hear your POAS was a neg but it isn't over till that red flag flies so I am with the other girls in hoping you are in that 1%.
Teagz - happy 21st! Good to hear you had a great night and that is fantastic news about the wedding plans being back on. I think it is important to have something other than just TTC to focus on as it can take over your whole life, that's for sure.
Joselyn - not sure if I have already congratulated you on your BFP, so just in case...
Beata - You have such a positive attitude about everything and so inspirational to all the TTC ladies in here. Just wanted to send you a hug
Hi to everyone else I missed. All good here - 33 weeks today which is great as it means that even if I go into labour this week, I can still deliver at my hospital. They only deliver from 33 weeks on and yay, we made it!
Had my baby shower yesterday and got very spoiled. LOTS of pink pressies
Dee, my heart goes out to you, how very disappointing. Sorry I'm not completley sure of your dates, did you poas early at all? If so, that can definetly give you a false negative, that happened to me when I was pg. I really pray that there is a little one in there hiding Thinking of you hun, hang in there your dream will come true one day
Diana, I'm glad that your levels have increased and keep praying that they continue that way and you have a nice sticky one in there
Teagz, congrat's on deciding on the wedding date again very exciting and something for you to look forward to.
ALM, wow 33wks is fantastic and I'm sure all will go well through to full term. I'm glad you were spoilt at your baby shower.
AFM, in the dreaded TWW. Sometimes I feel like I have AF symptoms, arggh, stay away this month, please.
