Hi girls

Thanks for all of your support through my never ending cycle I know I probably did my fair share of whinging Anyway, I am feeling much happier and positive now that I know what's going on... Now to catch this eggie. But DH is travelling this week for work and and will be away for 3 days/2 nights. I really hope that I don't ovulate while he is away That would be unfortunate timing. As for ttc this cycle, my Dr didn't say not to try, in fact she gave me the masks and Tamiflu just in case I am pg when we go away. So I am back temping again, and doing OPKs to try to maximise our chances this time around.

We have been busy this weekend preparing for our trip. DH has just come back from the shops loaded up with heaps of antiseptic hand cleanser and small first aid items as well. It's not like him to think of those things, so I am very pleased that he did.

It's been nice to pack up my study stuff now until next year. It has felt like a load has been lifted off my shoulders. Now to get the washing and ironing finished so I can put my feet up!

Samcougar and Beata - hope you are over your cold quickly.

Megan, don't worry about what people are thinking. It's not important. They will know well enough in a few months time why you are looking a little heavier than usual.

to everyone. Hope you are all having a great weekend.

Hi all,

I was very excited to find a when I PedOAS this morning!!!! I'm very very happy, though did have a little teary in the shower when I thought back to not so long ago when I found out I was pregnant with Luca.

I go back to work tomorrow. I'm quite anxious about it. I'd love to fast forward for a week and not have to worry about the settling in part.

Next monday night there is a memorial service at the Womens and the pastoral care lady has asked me to take part in the ceremony - should be really lovely. Although such mixed feelings towards the hospital, as they didn't give me proper treatment with Luca, but I'm relying on them to bring my next bub safely into the world. I'm hoping the service there brings some healing.

On the weekend DH and I planted a mulberry tree for Luca at my dad's weekend property in Araleun. It was a very special occasion for us. Our surname means mulberry in Italian so that's what we chose. They grow very large! I have pictures on my facebook page if anyone would like to look Log In | Facebook

I've got lots of news all of a sudden!

Chez, you must just about be on your holiday by now! Hope it works wonders. Nudge nudge.

Bec, my DH is awful sick too. Anyone would think the sky is falling in. Heaven forbid if they had to have the babies. We'd be extinct!

Hi to everyone else too.

xx Bec.

Bec, that is fantastic news congratulations I am so very happy for you . It sounds like you have lots of mixed emotions at the moment. Really lovely thing to plant the Mulberry tree in honour of Luca, a beautiful way of having a 'physical' reminder of him in the form of a lovely strong tree. I hope the memorial service is also another healing time for you. I wish you a happy & healthy 9-months

Cheryl, count down to your holiday now. Have a ball won't you! You really deserve this break and I pray that your BFP is just around the corner hun

Speak soon

I wish you a very uneventful next 8 or so months (in the nicest possible way of course!)

Hi to everyone else, I hope you are all travelling along well.

Hugs

[Samcougar]

Congratulations Bec that's fantastic news!!!! I'm sooooooo happy for you!!!
Planting the Mulberry Tree for Luca is a lovely idea, we would like to do the same thing for Riley when we move to our new home. I hope the memorial service gives you some healing and i can understand your mixed feelings towards to hospital
DH tells me that men have a higher pain tollerance than women and when they are sick they're REALLY sick!!! It's ok though i slapped him good!!!

[Chez67]

Bec - woohoo! Congratulations! That is amazing news. I am SOOOOOOO happy for you. Wow that's three BFPs in as many weeks isn't it? Or at least it feels like it is!! I can understand your mixed feelings at the moment hun, but do try not to worry too much. And I hope the memorial service helps you along your grieving pathway. You are such a strong lady and I am sure you'll be an amazing mother to your new bub!

[Chez67]

Hi ladies

DH tells me that men have a higher pain tollerance than women and when they are sick they're REALLY sick!!! It's ok though i slapped him good!!!

Samcougar - I loved it! As if men have a higher tolerance level to pain than women! Just see one of them have a bikini wax and all doubt as to who can handle pain disappears - of course it's us women who are the stronger! They're just kidding themselves!

Hi Aries - not many of us non-pg ones left in here now... hopefully it will be our turn very soon and we can start our own run of BFPs! Or even better, join onto the current ones. And everyone else in here who is still waiting and testing and waiting...

Hi to Beata, Megan and Bec, our pg sisters-in-arms. Sending you all lots of positive thoughts and

to everyone else!

AFM, started taking fresh royal jelly yesterday (yuck!) but apparently it is very good for improving egg quality (and sperm quality too) and general health and wellbeing. My AP suggested I take it when I asked about it. I had read a bit about it on another BB thread. Had some EWCM today and even though OPK is still a faint line, we DTD anyway, in the hope that we catch this egg. I have felt definite pains in the ovaries over the last few days so hopefully things are finally starting to happen in that department. Wouldn't it be great to come back from our holliday with a BFP! Speaking of which, 2 working days to go

Take care everybody,

Lol i totally agree!!

Oh and it's you last working day today!!! YAY!!! I'm so excited for you! I hope you both have a really good time and i really hope you come back with a big suprize Goodluck hun, have fun and we'll miss you!

[Chez67]

Thanks everybody!

We're going out to dinner tonight to celebrate being on holiday.

Driving home from work was a little sad this afternoon. The last time I was leaving on holiday was back in February when we were getting married and going on our honeymoon, and I was almost 16 weeks pg. So that was a bit sad. But I am determined to enjoy our holiday and relax.

I'll be thinking of you girls. I really hope that we see the run of BFPs continue in this thread

Take care everybody See you in 5 weeks!
love

Hi Girls,

Cheryl, I hope you have the best time ever on your holiday, make the most of it and it would be so so lovely for you to come back with a nice little suprise in your belly!!! I so hope so hun .

Girls, I won't do personals as I just popped in to wish Cheryl a nice holiday. I have been suffering m/s pretty much all day, and although I can't complain as that is a good sign, I am absolutely exhausted when I get home from work so haven't been on Belly much. Have been going to bed at about 9 each night, then wake up at 3 or 4 am and need to eat something so I don't feel sick. Anyway, hope everyone is good and I will continue to lurk on everyone. Aslo, a message from Diana to say thank you so much for everyone's well wishes, she is now 26 weeks & going strong!

Big hugs and lots of for Cheryl, Samcougar (loooooooove your avvy hun!!) & Aries This thread is getting thinner by the minute!!!! Wow, I don't think there will be anyone left in here soon!

Hi Cheryl,

All the very best for your holiday, I hope you and your DH have an absolute ball and I also pray you come home with a lovely surpise Enjoy your dinner tonight to celebrate your holiday, great idea!

Will catch-up on everyone else soon.

[Aries]

Hi Ladies

Just wanted to pop in and say hi and see how you were all doing!
Hubby and I thought we were going to wait but after extensive chats we realised that we want to be parents and therefore have decided that we are back on the bus - so to speak!
So currently I am 2 DPO - luckily for me my cycle seems to have stayed at 28 days which is crazy as I have never been this regular
I am on a stay-at-home two week holiday to catch up on things and give myself lots of rest - also on my TWW. Fits in perfectly. Lots of walking and resting.
Hugs to you all

Hey girls, just popping in to let you know I still stalking you all. Mummabec, big congrats on your BFP! I added you to my FB too, incase you're wondering who that strange girl is

Beata, sorry hun but Woot Woot for MS! I hope your BB's are killing you too haha. I hope it all starts to ease up soon though, it really is the pits when it's so severe.

Aries, Good to hear your back on the bus. I hope you get your BFP ASAP and have some fun along the way

Chez, hope you have an amazing holiday and come back with a little holiday gift, too!

Samcougar, oh really! My DF thinks he's dying whenever he gets a sneeze! Men are shockers when they're sick, I'm glad you put him back in his place & Chez, just to add to your bikini wax, I wax Df's eyebrows (he has a bit of a mono, but sshhh don't tell) and oh my god doesn't he sook!

to you all. I love popping in here and seeing everyones spirits so high. You're an amazing bunch, don't forget it!! xx

[mummabec]

Hi everyone!

Teagz, thanks. I thought that must you on fb!

Aries, lovely to have you back. Staying at home for a couple of weeks sounds perfect. Hope this is the month for you.

Beata, hope the MS settles down soon. Normally it's fun to have midnight feasts, but the feeling sick part would not be fun at all. What do you eat at 3 or 4am?

Hi to everyone else and thanks for all your congrats.

AFM, work was terrible. I didn't realise that I would come across people who didn't know (because you don't talk about stillbirth ). And then there's the stuff I got everywhere else months ago... people pretending nothing's happened, and the few that say anything say things like 'well at least you can get pregnant'. My boss has been particularly crap. Needless to say I haven't told anyone at work that I'm pregnant again. I was going to but everything just gave me such a bad feeling.
I know in some ways that no one can say the right thing. You just aren't meant to return from maternity leave without a baby.

Sorry for the winge! I'm hoping next week will be better.

xx Bec.

[Miss.B]

Hi lovelies,

Bec, I know how you feel when you go back to work and some people don't even acknowledge that you were pg. I was petrified people would swarm me when I came back to work, but when some of them kept their distance and said nothing, that really HURT. But, some people just don't know how to handle tough situations like these, so they keep their distance (that's what my only brother did )

Teagz, thanks hunni! lol. I know what you mean, it's a good sign, I think I just have to shut my pie hole and put up with it. I know it's such a teeny price to pay! How's everything with you hun? How are your wedding plans coming along??

Aries, I'm so glad you're in the game again! Woo hoo! I wish you so much good luck hun and I hope you'll be telling us all your good news soon!

Cheryl, I hope you're having a ball! Lots of & coming your way!

Megan, hi hun, how are you going?

Samcougar, hi hun! What have you been up to? Sending you heaps of and

Well, I'm off for my scan today, I'll let you know how it all goes.

Big hugs and all my love,

B xxx

[helle]

Beata, ROLF, no there needs to be an outlet sometimes! I promised myself I'd never whine once about this preg but every now and again I can't help but tell DF about my growing belly pains!
Everything is good with me! Plans are coming along nicely. For our wedding gifts we're giving the guys shooter glasses and the girls measuring spoons that are hearts and have mushy things like "a teaspoon of devotion" etch into them. They all arrived today! Very exciting & they're very pretty!
Boofhead if ticking along nicely as well, he is very active, and i'm starting to get a few big jabs now which I love!
I hope your MS settles soon, it is the pits. Bring on 14 weeks!
Good luck with your scan today too. I'm sure you won't need it though
