Massive massive congrats to Teni and Hope!!! Wishing you both an uneventful 8 months. It is nice to see some BFP's ....lets hope some more are on their way....
ChrisW - sorry to hear about your false alarm - hope you are doing OK as it must have been a tough up and down couple of days. FX AF stayed away??
Dory - your poor furbaby...when does he/she come home? Will need lots of TLC as do you! Hope you have a speedy recovery from your cold.
Powelly - glad you had a nice time away though your PMS sounds horrible!
Chez - aw sweetie not sure what to say. Just sux. Big hugs.
AFM - no BFP. Just bitterly disappointed and don't think I have actually come out of my funk yet. On CD 4 now and feeling low. Shouldn't really have expected success on first month but you can't help but hope can you. Having weird AF as well....back to weekly accupunture for me to see if it will help.
Had a lovely time away (except for getting AF on last day!). FIL was also starting to get on nerves - trying to hold my tongue was getting hard! Luckily IL's have headed to Paris for a couple of days . They have been great with DS though so I should just suck it up!
Well there's been a reason for my crazy mood swings of late. I got a BFP this afternoon. My AF was due on Monday and never arrived and I've been cramping all week and in tears and my boobs were so sore but after POAS every day with negatives, I was sure I wasn't pregnant. I decided to try and relax last night on the advice of a friend and had two glasses of wine. With no periods again today I decided to buy a First Response and up came the BFP!
Immediate reaction: FREAKED OUT! (Especially because I had a couple of wines last night :-(
I'm extremely happy but also extremely nervous about getting to my 20 weeks and hoping that the wine I had didn't do any damage. Can't believe it!!!
OMG that is such good news!! We're having so many BFPs, FX the trend keeps on!
Teni, Hope, and Powelly - I hope you all have a very uneventful pg. Pop in occaisionally and let us know how it's going. We're going to miss you.
Chez - I'm so sorry that the clomid didn't work. I know it's hard to keep your hopes up, but IVF may do the trick.
SusieQ - Glad you had a good time (even if FIL was getting on your last nerve). Sorry that AF showed up. Try to keep your spirits up.
AFM - I want to thank everyone for their support, but AF showed up on Tuesday. Had a u/s the same day and showed several follicles, so I think I didn't O for whatever reason (sigh). At least the BDing was fun! I saw the RI on Wed and they gave me a thorough going over. It will be three weeks before all of the test results come back, though so I'm on pins and needles until then. One thing we did find out is that my uterine and ovarian blood flow is pretty poor (measured via u/s - very cool to watch). Unfortunately my left ovary is pretty much shut down (not surprising since it didn't respond to the IVF in 2008). I think they will put me on Lovenox to increase blood flow. Does anyone know of anything else that might help?
Congratulations to Powelly, Teni and Hope. Hope for us all. May your journeys in pregnancyville be happy and healthy. Love and congrats to you all. xoxoxo Hope I think it was much easier as horney teenagers!! dtd at our parents house etc...
Chez- Thanks for thinking of our DD hun. I am so sorry it has been a bugger of a month for you guys. To be given a glimmer of hope was a gift and then to catch up on your recent events just broke my heart. I hope you got some lovely rest for your time off and I am thinking of you sweet. xoxo Oh and well done on those results you clever cookie.
Chris- Sorry hun that this month was a no go. I hope you are getting some tlc right now. I am thinking of you too. xoxo
Dory- Thanks sweety, hope you are doing ok. I hope your little cat is doing ok too. It is horrible when they are sick. xoxo
Susie- Bummer that Af has turned up. Sorry it is another month down for you. We girls need to stick together in here i think. I am sure we are all just around the corner from a BFP.
AFM- I am back from a wonderful week away. We have nicknamed it our bogan holiday as I think we ate badly, behaved badly and had an all good time with very dear friends...remembering the good old days.
Today is the first opportunity since we got back that i can spend a moment to catch up with my girls.
It was awesome being able to just slot into someone elses family life for a week. It was just what we both needed. Stayed up late, woke up late, playing cricket in the park, boardgames...ate chocolate, drank too much wine. Great fun!
On the TTC front, we didn't ovulate this month...i don;t think anyway. CD28 today and CD1 also as Af has started. She is a little angry at me this month...no doubt for the way i have treated my body this last week but hey...all in moderation. We never let loose to that extent. Not sure i want to again either but time will tell. We gave it a good shot but not many signs for ovualtion at all. No CM, no ov pain, no desire or libido. Temps all over the place and Just a posiitve ov test. Not enough to go on.
I didn't expect to be pregnant this month. DH was so tired before we left loving turned into an argument and then a long and wondeful talk all the way down there. He got to find himself again and got to see how lost he allowed himself to become. Work had swallowed him whole and there was no balance. It is all very well that I am here to take care of all that is needed on the home front. But there is some satisfaction in doing things at home. Anyway...we have sorted that out and have got a whole lot more balance.
Our beautiful angel DD would have turned 1 this last week and if we were to forget for just a moment, we would be reminded with the birthday party of a friends' little girl born when DD should have been. We were not invited but i am comfortable with that. We would never have gone. We are not all that close and because of that i woul dmuch rather things be real and upfront. Our dear friends go to the trouble of thinking further for us and that is all we need.
We spent the week with friends that have lost 4 babys so they were aware and thoughtful. It is weird though, in saying that, we probably talked about it a little less as there was just an inbuilt understanding there. They understand your pain, they have their own, your thoughts are often intertwined. It was lovely.
Anyway...that was a nice chat...hope you are all well.
As usual this time of the month brings a bit of glum and gloom for me and within the next few days I feel renewed. It is funny but right now...I am over it all. Don't want to fight for it anymore. I am done, dusted and moving on. Hmmm how it all changes is beyond me...and maybe oneday it won't. For this moment i feel like throwing in the towel from sheer frustration and disappointment...and knowing I am in for an uncomfortable couple of days. xoxo
Don't know where to start, so I will start by introducing myself. My name is Tess and we are our 4th month of TTC after loosing our son Matthew (born sleeping during labour at 39w2d) I was trying to locate somewhere on the internet where there were women of similiar circumstances and that I also didnt feel like a huge thread killer, being a newbie.
I have 11 days before I AF is due... and once again I am highly anxious as a few things have happened this month that has made me very scared and excited all at once about being pg.
Hope to get to know you all and am glad to have found a group of lovely caring women.
Hi Tess, welcome and so very sorry you find yourself needing to be here. You will find a wealth of love and support not to mention the all elusive...understanding and knowledge that only experiencing this loss can give you from these lovely ladies in here. We have formed ourselves a bit of a group here...although three have fallen pregnant in the last couple of weeks...numbers are dwindling. Hope the fortune rubs off on you too.
I am so sorry that your baby Matthew grew wings too soon in life hun.
My fingers are crossed that you find yourself staying a short time. I hope your feelings this month are on the mark and you find yourself excited and nervous for all the right reasons. 5mths is not very long ago, take care and be gentle.
Good luck Tess xoxoxo
CONGRATULATIONS POWELLY!!!!!! 
Hello to all you other lovely ladies, i hope you are all traveling along well.
