Samcougar!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS! That is such wonderful news. Made my day!
AFM, AF due Saturday but I have awful cramps and am starting to get a little wound up so am thinking we were unsuccessful :-( Low blood pressure too but that's not unusual for me. Ah well, just so happy to hear someone get a BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cmegles, thanks hun. I have my fingers crossed too.
Samcougar, That is FABULOUS news hun. I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy. What a fantastic day for you. I am thrilled for you and your hubby. xoxoxo Nothing like a BFP to put you in a spin hey!
Chez, Go the bob babe. My DH was attached to my long hair too but he really loves the bob much to his surprise. I think he also sees a bit of my mojo back and a fresh look for me and that makes him happy. Do it i say hun.
I think the time away will be great for you. I just can't believe you are still in limbo waiting either way. The universe is really putting the breaks on for you atm. I hope that you are in the same boat as samcougar and BFP is around the corner much to your surprise. You just never know and I hold out hope. xoxox
AFM- Well, still in photo land and CD 20. Getting through it ok, keeping busy. Really bad sleeping earlier in the week, but last night was better. My body clock is way out of whack atm. Being so tired and sleeping all over the place, when i can get it, has really thrown me.
But I feel good, today is a good day. I have not even ventured into working out dates in hope that we are pregnant. I am trying not to even go there.
When the photos are done, my next project is mums bday present. I have some photo books to put together of the grandkids as I am the one with all the photos on file. I was also going to get her a mushroom inoculation and growing kit for oyster mushies or shiitake. So we shall see how I go with that. It is a living gift that i know she will love.
Anyway back to it.
Thanks Gigi1. Still have funny cramps and every time I go to the loo I expect AF to be there, but it's just CM. Did a test this morning and it was BFN and I'm not sure when I O'd (am thinking it was around 8th/9th) so who knows. I just wish AF would hurry up or something to happen. At times like this I'd usually have a wine but argh!!!
I just wanted to quickly drop in and say hello. I was having a pretty rough week last week and was coccooning myself at home with the furbabies. And it's taken almost all of this week to catch up. So I'll be brief, and please just because I don't mention your name, please don't think that I don't think of you, I do, and hope like anything that you'll soon be getting your bfp's.
Gigi - the pressie for your mum sounds great - I love the idea of the mushrooms, and especially the more gourmet variety. You know what? You do seem to have some of your mojo back - it just shines out so brilliantly from your post. It just makes me so happy to see.
Samcougar - CONGRATULATIONS GIRL. I am soo soo excited and happy for you. Seems the "C's" still have it.... I hope to see you in another thread soon? Don't worry if it takes you a while to gather up the courage... it took me ages.... and then took even longer to feel I could loosen the ties from this thread. And good work on your intuition about not having your x ray but hope your ankle isn't giving you too much worry.
Chez - thankyou so much for asking about the fur babies. #2 has recovered really well and is now on twice daily tablets for hyperthyroidism until his next check up on 3 July. He will have some blood tests taken then to see how his thyroid levels are, see if his weight loss has stabilised and if he has any other conditions that the hyperthyroidism might be masking. If not, then 2 weeks off the tablets and he'll have his radioactive treatment. I am not looking forward to being without him for 3 weeks, but the treatment is 95%curative and he is only 7 and I am expecting him to have a long and indulged life. He's good with the tablets - he doesn't like it, but he tolerates it. Makes our job a little easier.
Teni/Crumpet - I don't know why but I don't get those feelings of "this shouldn't be like this and I should be holding my babies" that often or too intensely. I do get them from time to time, and just try and find my way through. I wonder if those feelings are something we'll have lifelong, maybe not with as much frequency as now? I think so, from talking with women my mothers age and older who've experienced loss. There are special days, where it all comes flooding back, as if they were right there again, and sometimes even on unexpected days. I just accept for me there are all sorts of days - and I just try to be in the moment with each day, no matter what it is. If I am feeling a particular way, there's a reason for it and I need to honour it, even if I can't work out why or it takes me by surprise or I don't really want to feel that way.
I don't know, it's just so tough and hard and unfair. I just wish I had more than words to help you through, but that's all I have, and they're pretty cumbersome and ineffective. I suppose I really wanted to say, I am so so sorry for your pain and heartache and I wish I could make it better for you. Teni - as you can probably tell from what Crumpet said, the next part of the journey ( and you will get there), as much as you want it, is tough and at times lonely, and loss makes it more lonely and frightening.
Chris W - hope you are all ok now after the wasp attack!
Susie Q - how are you doing? A bit better?
Powelly - hiya - the waiting is so frustrating. Avoid the wine - you can do it. Hope you get something happening soon, but in my heart of hearts, hoping for a beefer (bfp).
Cmeggles - have I seen you post somewhere else or I am just losing my mind? Hmmm... losing my mind is likely. LOL.
Sorry if I have missed anyone else. All good here. Having some non serious but irritating reactions to some medication at the mo - very severe insomnia - lucky to get even 2 hours last night, and no nanna naps for me yesterday or today, despite being tired, quite thirsty and to boot - I look like an old wino, very rosy cheeks and nose and flushed. They should pass quickly as I had the last dose this morning, and some minor GI upset. Hopefully by tomorrow arvo, these reactions will be a distant memory! At least the fur baby's keep me in good company... have a safe and happy weekend. I am looking forward as always to having DH around. Saturday's are my fav day now, as I can "usually" sleep in and snuggle. I've never been a person to sleep in, so I am trying to make the most of it.
Hey Dory, YEp mojo is back in the building yesterday and today...it is great to feel good. My chiro appointment was a treat and really helped the process. I have faith it will keep going. I know things can be cyclical but i am ust concentrating on being happy and enjoying things...laughing again lots. Even if i have to force it out...make you feel better everytime.
Good to you here you are resting up and enjoying a sat sleep in with hubby. I am a big sleeper in erer! Love it.
I hope the reactions are walking out the door and you feel better soon.
Have you seen your bubba lately? Hope all is going well.
Chez – Happy to have amused! I have to say that DH was great once he realized what was happening, but he was just a tad slow on the initial uptake. Sorry your FS is going away for so long, but a trip to Sydney sounds great. Who knows…. maybe you won’t need the FS….
Tenibear – hope AF has gone and cleared the way for some serious BDing!
Angelic – good to hear from you (when you can sneak on!) Hope you are doing well. Are you still TTC?
Cmeglles – Thanks for the encouragement. Hope that you’re able to start relaxing some and enjoy your pg.
Dory – Glad that your side effects will pass soon, they sound awful! Thanks for asking after me. I had to take prednisone for over a week, but the swelling and hives are finally gone. At least I don’t have to mow the lawn ever again!
Powelly – Hope AF stays away and you get a BFP!
Gigi – Hope your sleep pattern gets back to normal, I know what a pain that can be. BTW - love the idea of a mushroom kit for your mom’s Bday. That’s the kind of gift I love to get.
Samcougar – I just can’t say it enough – WAY TO GO GIRL!!!!!! Are you having any symptoms yet? I have everything crossed for a H&H pregnancy for you.
Hi also to SusieQ, Crumpet, CharliB, Hope, Lemonade, and anyone else I may have missed. Hope you are all doing well.
AFM – AF due today….
No AF symptoms….no pg symptoms….and a BFN this morning (sigh).
I have composed a Haiku for my naughty HPT….
Horrid little line.
Solitary in stark white.
Why do you mock me?
Obviously I just don’t have enough to keep me busy!!! I guess it’s not over until the red lady sings. I’ll probably test again on Monday if she doesn’t show up by then.
