Sorry Hope! CONGRATS to you too! I don't think we've spoken before. I've been in here for a couple of months. What an exciting month! Fingers crossed for more BFPS!

Hi Powelly: I don't believe we have. I have been MIA for quite some time. Last time i poster here was on the 27th May. Wishing you all the best on your Journey.
Teni: So it turns out that you do have psychic powers after all, you were just a month out. So maybe now you have a new occupation. All the best for this pregnancy. Looks like I'll be seeing you in a new thread.
Samcougar: Congrats on your BFP also. I just went through and read up on everyone and noticed that you had a BFP. That is great news. All the best to you and your pregnancy.
AngelicDragon: I am saddened to hear the you are quitting your TTC journey. All the best to you for whatever new adventures your life will take.
Susie Q: Glad to hear that you are over the Chicken Pox. You poor thing having to deal with that. I have never had chicken pox before so I can only imagine what it is like. Have a great time away in Italy. Hopefully it will turn out to be the trip that you needed.
ChrisW: GL with your appointments. Hope everything goes well.
Gigi: I totally understand about DTD in your parents house. DH doesn't seem to care and can't understand why I turn him down when we are away visiting. My M comes to our house often as she is recovering from Breast Cancer and she lives in a rural town so she comes and stays with us for all her appointments. I don't even like DTD when she is here at our home. Hope your time away at Noosa helped out. GL with catching that egg.
Crumpet: Have you had your stitch done yet or when will you get it done. Can you please fill me in on it (pm if you would like) as I also have to have a stitch done and am really worried about it. I don't really know much about it also. Have you booked in your 3D scan yet for your DH to see bubby? Does he know you are doing that or are you keeping it a surprise?
AFM: I am about to tell the story of getting my BFP so for those of you who will find this too painful to read, stop reading now. I really dont want to upset anyone.
My last cycle started on the 14th of June and pretty much as soon as it stopped I got really bad thrush. The worst I have ever had. The thrush cleared up for a day so DH and I DTD (once) and unfortunately the thrush than returned. I am still battling to get rid of it completely. It's nearly gone but just keeps giving a little niggle. This cycle was our first cycle with no clomid as my OB booked me in to do a lap for this Friday to check that everything was in working order as we hadn't conceived on clomid but was ovulating. I really believed that it was impossible for me to be UTD this cycle cause we only DTD once this cycle and I had thrush all cycle, blah, blah, blah. So I went out on a girls night out (something I don't usually do) and had a bit to drink, I am not usually a drinker. I have had canasten (sp?) tablets, pessaries and cream. On Friday last week I woke up with a cold so got straight into the cold and flu tablets. I had been eating all the stuff that I hadn't eaten in a long time (just in case) like peanuts, processed meats, lots of junk food. Anyway, DH kept saying to me that he thought I was UTD but I didn't think so. I partly thought he just hoped I was so I didn't have to have the lap. So when I woke up on Sunday morning I asked him if he would like me to POAS to make sure. So I went and POAS but came straight back to bed to not even look at the result cause I was 100% sure the test would be BFN. DH got up and looked at the test and said that there was a second line. I didn't know whether to believe him or not so I went and checked and to my surprise there were two lines. I still wasn't convinced saying that he checked it after 10 minutes so I did another test later that day (a digital one this time) and it came flashing up on it nearly straight away "pregnant". Just to be sure I did another test on Monday morning, and yep, it was a BFP also. So on Monday I rang my OB's rooms to cancel the lap and now instead of seeing my OB in the operating theatre on Friday I will be seeing him on Friday in his rooms. I also have a GP appoint today so hopefully she will do a BT so I know exactly how far along I am. So yeah, that is my story. I hope this gives you all a bit of hope also. I really hope that it didn't upset anyone. If you would like I can drop back in from time to time with updates.
Everyone in here has been through what I have been through or worse so I know that you would all understand how I am feeling right now. I am totally over the moon cause of the BFP but at the same time really nervous and scared that it will end the same way as the last two. I really want this bubby to be a sticky one.
I am also worried as I have to have a stitch a bit later on and really don't know what to expect from that. I just don't want anything to go wrong.
Anyway, enough about me now. Wishing everyone gets their BFP real soon. Hope that the recent ones rub off onto everyone here. All the best and I will keep checking up on you all.
Baby Dust to you all.

Hope, you have given me exactly that... hope! I'm pretty sure we missed O this month and only DTD 3 times so I have been feeling pretty bummed. It's nice to know it can happen like that. I'm CD22, moody as all get-up and pretty sure it's not my month :-(
All the best for you and well done! Sometimes not focussing on it works wonders! The nerves are normal and unfortunately expected in our situations, but just be positive and keep those good vibes :-)

Hi ladies
A huge congratulations to TeniBear and Hope! Fantastics news!
And Hope thanks for sharing your BFP story. Maybe your DH is psychic just like TeniBear!
Gigi - I hope you are having a relaxing time on your holiday. I understand about your DD should have turned 1 on the weekend; that is something that has been playing on my mind, and upsetting me, these last few weeks as August approaches for us. Keep your chin up hun, don't let that mojo disappear!
Dory - a new toilet! Wow - that is an unusual gift! Hope your furbaby is doing ok. Has he had his b/t done yet? I hope the tablets are working and he doesn't need to have radiation therapy. I hope you don't get any more scares... this little one has to hang on to full term!
Crumpet - thanks for dropping by. I can't believe you are 14 weeks already! You go girl!
ChrisW - I hope you managed to get your cycle sorted out. Sometime I wonder if it would be better to not test and just go with our body's natural rhythms. That is how we fell pg last time. I have no idea when I o'd that cycle, just that we got a BFP.
Powelly - I have my fingers crossed for you that you didn't miss your O this cycle!
SuzieQ - what a bummer about the timing of your best ever EWCM and the chicken pox! I hope your little one gets over it soon. I had it when I was about 22 or so - what a nightmare.
Hi to beata, samcougar, cmeglles, and everyone else.
Sorry for being MIA ladies, I had decided to take a short break from BB while my FS was away. I just needed to clear my head of all things TTC. I even stopped the weekly b/ts while she was away as I just couldn't face the phone calls of more bad news about my levels. DH and I have spent some time talking about ED and what it entails. I have also joined Aussie Egg Donors and posted a few times, but still haven't decided exactly where we are headed next. I guess I am still waiting for our appointment with my FS on Thursday.
I have taken the week off work to just relax. Work was so crazy busy and stressing me out to the max that even though DH couldn't take the time I decided to be indulgent and just have some me time. I spent a few hours with my dear friend who is 38 wks pg. We even went shopping for a few last minute baby things - it was my first journey into the baby dept of BigW for more than 2 years, and I did pretty well being surrounded by babies and pg mums. At her encouragement I had a b/t done this morning so that my FS would have an idea of what was going on (I still haven't had a period since being on Clomid). I was pleasantly surprised when I got a phone call from the FS's clinic with my b/t results. It looks like I will ovulate in the next day or two, and the nurse advised me that there was a strong chance of multiple pg if we did get a BFP this cycle. That would be the best 'problem' to have as far as I am concerned! So, DH will getting lots of loving from me when he gets home from work tonight!

Hi Ladies,
I don't want anyone to get too excited, but I did an HPT this morning and did see a very faint second line.
Going for b/t today and Thursday to confirm. I guess the complete lack of LH really was telling me I'm pg after all. Now regretting all of the vacation drinking.
I should be excited but I'm having trouble feeling anything but numb since we never seem to get past the 5 week mark. My best guess is that I'm CD26 which means my body ignored the progesterone supplementation and started making eggs even though I hadn't had AF yet. If I can make it to July 24th, then that will be the longest I will have made it in a pregnancy. DH and I will be holding our breath until then. I'm still going to my RI appointment next week since she may still be able to help.
Wish I felt more positive, but honestly I'm just scared to death. Now seriously unhappy that my RE would not agree to put me on low dose prednisone for the ANA when I was diagnosed last month. At least I know the RI will take it seriously. Maybe the folic acid and baby aspirin will be enough. Sorry for being such a downer, but I'm just really scared right now.

Hi ChrisW, Also quietly congratulating you. Can you ring your FI and tell them that you got a positive result on a HPT and see if they can get you in a bit earlier or is it this week that you are going anyway. I'm sorry, i know I said I am quietly congratulating you but I am just very excited for you, yay. I know this is way easier said than done, but try not to worry too much and stay positive. I have total faith that this bubby is a sticky one for you.
KUP hun.

Hi Crumpet. Glad to hear your stitch went well. Did you have any pain or discomfort from it? Were you under general or local? Hope you don't mind me asking these Q's but I will be having to have this done also and I am so nervous about it. Not too sure when I will have to get this done (what week). I really don't know what to expect. I'm so scared something will go wrong. How far along in your pg are you? I am only about 4 weeks at the moment. I will be seeing my OB on Friday. Thanks in advance for any advice/help you have.

ChrisW - wow! that snuck up on us didn't it? A quiet (but very positive) congratulations from me too hun. I am sending you truck loads of
Hope - I haven't had a stitch but I know some other ladies in here have so I hope one of them can answer your questions. Dory I think you had a stitch from memory?
AFM, DH was very keen to follow the nurse's instructions so we have been busy last night and then this morning. But I had the luxury of rolling over and going back to sleep this morning whereas my poor DH had to go to work. Oh well, it looks like I picked a great week to take a break from work! I just hope that there is lots ofgoing on. A BFP is just what I need right now... one, twins or triplets, I'm not fussy!
Oh and I just got my uni results - I got a HD! I calculated I got full marks for the last assessment, which was a take home exam. It's my first HD in this course so I am wrapped. And this was the semester where I wasn't trying for anything more than a pass. Just shows what can happen when I don't obsess over things and try to make them perfect. Now if only I could have the same result with TTC!
Take care all, I'm off to do some baking for DH as a treat!

Teni - I saw your post in the other thread before this one. Def a BFP in my mind! Again congrats. Awesome.
Hope - congrats on your BFP. I had a cerclage inserted at 14 weeks and its still holding nice and tight. Mine was under general and was day surgery only. I recovered really well and had no adverse affects to the light anaesthetic and had only very mild bleeding and cramping for a few days after. Emotionally and physically I felt so much better and stronger. My Obs says mine will come out at 38 weeks. From memory Crumpet's obs was thinking of doing hers under spinal/epidural and Crumpet was expecting to be in hossy at least overnight.
Crumpet - good work! Hope your are recovering well. Can't wait to hear more details.....
Chez - thanks for asking. The tablets did work well - but we decided to have the radiation treatment as he's a young cat and the treatment is 95% curative. Worth a try. He goes in on Friday morning, after me next obs appointment. Absolutely well done with your HD. You sound so chuffed and so you should be. I wish I could give you your BFP...
Gigi - hope your road trip has been peaceful.
Hiya to everyone else, sorry not too many persies tonight. All good here.

yep ur right hun mine was done with spinal and sedation.... and was in hospy over night, was meant to be 2 but i was to uncomfy so got my OB to release me early!
like u i have had light bleeding for 3 days, seems to have stopped over night which im rapt about, i get the odd twinge here and there but nothing im worried about, my OB did say id get achy here ans there.
we are going to take mine out at 37 weeks, OB's choice and im happy with that, im getting to close to xmas if i wait till 38 weeks! lol......
im doing ok recovery wise, bit slow on my feet and my BP is low from the nefedipine but thats ok, ill be off that in a few days..... have a scan next week to check on things and a OB appt to so ill be happy to see worm is going ok and to get a good report from my OB
Registered User
Dory: Thanks so much for your info on your cerclage. Between what you have shared with me and what Crumpet has shared, I feel I can go in to this with a little more understanding and confidence. If you dont mind me asking, did you have the nefedipine tablets also?
Crumpet: Glad to hear that your bleeding has now stopped. I bet that is a relief lifted off of you. All the best for your scan next week.
AFM: I'm off to see the OB tomorrow. I'm a little excited but at the same time worried. I want to know everything now about how we are going to approach different things but I doubt I will know all that by tomorrow, lol
Hello to everyone else on here.

Hope - I don't remember having nefedipine. It wasn't prescribed to me following the procedure. It may have been something I was given during?. I presume it's to stop/prevent contractions - as that's the purpose it has been given to me in the past. But then again that might be because I don't fit any classical definition of cervical incompetence. Sweetie - do as much as you can and find out as much as you can so you can make informed choices, but let go of the illusion of control, if you haven't already. At least for me, that made this journey a little easier. Good luck tomorrow.
Crumpet - good to hear you are on the mend and you've got a date with your little worm again next week. Got to love these little dates....
BTW - I have my cervix checked every week to every couple of weeks via either ultra sound, speculum or internal examination. That is certainly something to look forward to....
