Megan, I really AF stays away for you hun! And have a few glasses of wine anyway, even if you're UTD it won't matter so early on. I hope you enjoy your holiday and come back to tell us your exciting news! And never think it won't happen hun, because it will and you know it. You're on the right track with AP so it's now just a matter of time. And you did have a good feeling about this cycle, so stick with it and don't let any negative thoughts enter your wee head!!
Well, AF is still not here but today being 2 days late, I got a fancy clear blue digital HPT and again it's a BFN. I rang the IVF clinic and the nurse said that it could be a bit of stress and anxiety before the cycle and because of that, AF can be late.
She said it if doesn't arrive by Monday, we'll have to do a BT to find out what is going on. It's so frasturating as I know I'm not pg, but no AF either! This has never happened to me before I think my body is subconsiously stressed and hence AF is staying away. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! I hate all this waiting!
Thanks for the encouragement Beata, I am feeling particularly stressed this month, I keep thinking that if it doesn't happen this month I just can't keep doing this Re: the alcohol thing, what is the reco on that? I wasn't sure when it could get to the fetus if pg, so didn't want to take the risk. If anyone has any facts on this it would be great to know. It is my wedding anniverary on Friday, 10-years & I would love a champagne but again, no risking taking here.
Beata, I hope AF shows up really soon if your not pg, so you can start focussing on the transfer. Have you thought of AP to get things going? I found one session really helped with my CM, so you never know. If there is someone (AP) close to you, it may be worth trying. If you are pg, the AP won't do any harm from my understanding. for you hun to get through this, your almost there. I can't believe how long you have been waiting, just around the corner now, you so deserve your bubba to come along really soon
Hi hun, they say it's probalby better to say off the ciggies and drinkies if you're TTC, but then again how many women get pg slightly intoxicated? Much more fun hey? lol.
Seriously, I don't think having a glass of bubbly is going to harm your bubbie even if you get your BFP this month (I so hope so!!!!!). I'm sure many women drink and even smoke right up until they find out they're pg and then stop.. I know of a girl who went to her sister's birthday and got absolutely blind, and then she discovered she was 4 months pg!! OMG.
Congrats on your 10th wedding anniversary sweetie!! I hope you have a fabulous time and a romantic get away! Have that glass of bubbly hun, it is a big occasion and a very special one at that, I'm sure it won't affect anything !
If AF doesn't arrive by Friday, I will go and see that AP my FS recommended. Good idea hun, thanks!!
Thanks Beata, I don't smoke, so thats one less thing to worry about, thank goodness - lol. I guess one drink is unlikely to matter. I'll see how I feel. We will still be on holiday when AF is due, so if that happens I'll be enjoying plenty of wines I can assure you
Re; the girl who was 4-months pg & got blind before she knew, I am sure that is very common, I have heard of many women who have done a similar thing. I know of a girl that complained of pains & said she was going to the doctor,turned out she was in labour and didn't even know she was pg, hrs later delivered a 7 something pound healthy boy - I'm sure she must have had plently of drinks during that 9-mths and never knew she was pg. Imagine that phone call to your partner!!! - lol. I would love to wake up one day 9-mth pg and never knew that it all happened - no stress, just a little surprise - ahh bliss
AF is here. Met her with both disappointment (cos I'm not pg) and excitement as I am now on a countdown to my FET. I will ring the clinic tomorrow and follow their instructions. I know that I have to track my O time now and go for a blood test when the LH surge is detected.
I'm still keeping everything tightly crossed for you and hope you get your BFP this cycle Megan . You deserve it so much, and what a wonderful wedding anniversary present that would be!!!!
Cheryl, I hope AF is not too far away for you hun so you can do some serious TTC soon hun
Bec, as O time is approaching for you, I really hope that your sticky egg catches a little swimmer!
Aries, I hope the next cycle brings you a lovely surprise. Bring on the BFP!!
Diana, I hope you feeling better hun. Take care sweetie, and take it easy
Dee, how are you going hun? Sending you big hugs xx
Aw Beata, well it was a winwin situation really. I was praying so hard your little mircle was in there! But hey, let the FET begin!!! And relax! Make sure you put your feet up, and stay warm because it's bloody freezing atm! And have yourself some mocktails to celebrate this weekend
Thanks Teagz, you're such a sweetie. But you are right, it is a win win situation, now it's FET time soon!!!! Yey! Thank you for your prayers too, I now pray my little embie survives the thawing process and latches on with all it's might...
Thank you Beata, Berry & Chez for your warm welcomes. Positive thoughts for you all.
Waiting, waiting, waiting. No sign as yet - not even a niggle but I am sure that she will come eventually.
Can anyone tell me how long it takes for AF after birth? I am guessing that everyone is different but just posting the question anyway (it passes time!).
If I can remember, I bleed for about 2-weeks after my loss,(more like spotting towards the end that would come one day and not the next), AF turned up about 3-weeks after that, so it took about 5 weeks in total, but yes you are right we are all different. Have you had a follow-up appointment with your OB or hospital to check that everything is ok?
Really hope AF turns up for you soon hun so you can start ttc. Hang in there, she will turn up sooner or later Also, don't forget that your will O before AF arrives for the first time again. I know that probably sounds obvious, but it was something I read after my loss and hadn't really consciously thought about.
Hi all, I have so much to catch up on! We've been in the Whitsundays for a week on holidays. Where do you live now Cheryl? We didn't spend much time in Mackay. Went to Airlie Beach for a couple of nights and stayed in a great caravan park with heaps of kids stuff, then Cape Glouchester eco resort for a couple of nights, then Broken River for a night to see that platypuses, then Mackay for a night. We spent lots of time swimming at beaches and in pools, and even went out in a glass bottomed canoe.
Berry, you must be half way though the 2ww now then. Sorry to hear you've got signs, but I'm still crossing everything for you. Happy anniversary. That's tops. Hope the opera and dinner were wonderful. Did you feel any sadness too? I've found myself feeling sad on happy occasions, because they are not as happy as they should be iykwim.
Cheryl, sounds like you are doing so well with your healthy eating and exercise! I hope your body rewards you very soon. Great to hear that your DH has been so encouraging.
All the best with seeing your friend's little boy. I have quite a few babies around me and sometimes it is more ok than other times so if you are there for a while maybe you can be flexible and visit on a day when you are feeling strong. I'm like you and see it as necessary to not always avoid the babies, but that doesn't mean it's not painful. Look after yourself. Maybe if you do have a set time to visit you could make sure you have some quiet time to yourselves after that in case you need it. The elephant sounds perfect - what a sweet friend you are!
Beata, glad AF made up her mind so you know where you're at and can focus on your FET next month.
Aries, welcome, though it's a welcome with mixed feelings. So sorry to hear about Alexander. The long wait to conceive would only have added to your heartbreak. It took us about a year and that was bad enough. Hope your TTC journey is much shorter this time around. I got AF three weeks after giving birth. I think that is unusually quick though.
I like the bit in your sig about taking the positives out of a negative situation. One book I read described that as the salvage from the wreckage which I thought sounded about right. I have a few - being able to talk to people about their friends and family who have died is a big one, and I've also lost weight. Do let yourself cry when you need to, though.
AFM, O time in a couple of days so need to drag DH away to bed
We did manage a little something last night despite DD being in the bed next to us (asleep of course)!
Berry, Just wanted to agree with Beata, When I got my BFP I felt like AF was on her way too. I almost fell in the toilet when I saw the two lines come up.
Still stalking you all. Hope you all enjoy some hot, steamy action if your nearing O time & Praying for some BFP's at the end of you TWW and of cause Beata I'm hoping your little frostie is a sticky one for next month
AF stays away for you hun! And have a few glasses of wine anyway, even if you're UTD it won't matter so early on. I hope you enjoy your holiday and come back to tell us your exciting news! And never think it won't happen hun, because it will and you know it. You're on the right track with AP so it's now just a matter of time. And you did have a good feeling about this cycle, so stick with it and don't let any negative thoughts enter your wee head!!
I think my body is subconsiously stressed and hence AF is staying away. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!! I hate all this waiting!
but again, no risking taking here. 
- lol. I would love to wake up one day 9-mth pg and never knew that it all happened - no stress, just a little surprise - ahh bliss 
to all.
(asleep of course)!
