Not belated at all, Susie, you're right on time :) Bummer about having chickenpox :(
Not belated at all, Susie, you're right on time :) Bummer about having chickenpox :(
thanks hun, he seems a lot better now, might have been a bad 2 weeks i think.....:
i had a D&C almost straight after delivering coz my placenta disintegrated due to the infection and i did ok after than so hopefully the stitch is the same, although my OB says he doesnt want me completely asleep, mind u im not telling him i tend to zonk when anything stronger than oanadine forte is in my system!! lol......
wow chicken pox u poor poor thing!! i had it at 14 and it was hell!!!
hope it goes away soon!
Hello Ladies!
First and foremost – HAPPY BIRTHDAY TENIBEAR!!! It’s still the 9th here in the states but I think you’re already onto the 10th where you are (or are you onto the 11th and I missed it?). Hope you have (had) a great day. My fingers are still crossed for you for June!! Did you test today? Also big raspberry to your cousin! :wtf:
Dory – Thanks for the encouragement. I am looking at Dr. Joanne Kwak-Kim at the Chicago School of Medicine (RFU). She worked closely with Dr. Beer during his time in Chicago prior to his starting a private clinic in California. Her philosophies and treatment strategies are comparable to Dr. Beers and it is much closer to us than California. BTW, I read the Beer book you recommended and it is really great. Thanks for the turning me on to that! Hope you, DH, and all the furbabies are doing well.
Crumpet – Glad to hear the results of the scan were normal, even though the journey was eventful! I’ll be thinking of you and hoping that your procedure goes well. I’m also sorry to hear that DH is sad and that it is so hard for you to envision a positive outcome. After so many early losses, the sight of a BFP is enough to make me cry and start the grieving process almost immediately. We must still have some hope, though since we still keep trying. DH and I did much better this last time around in terms of embracing the baby and trying to be happy for every moment we had until we lost our angel. I like the idea of a 3D scan. It gives you a little more to hold on to.
Powelly – I know what you mean about being afraid to fall pregnant. We lost all of ours at 5 weeks so for me, that BFP usually brings fear and dread. I’m afraid to love the baby. I’m afraid not to love the baby. It’s almost like I’m afraid that either wanting it too much or not enough will make me lose the baby. I think Dory and many others here have said it numerous times – one day at a time, be grateful for every moment for however long it lasts. Hopefully I can be as strong for our next BFP.
Gigi – LOL, I’ll have to remember that joke! I do have a great GP and endocrinologist, so I know there are good doctors out there, but I have unfortunately been to some real doozies. Also – props for having the guts to whack your hair. I usually have waist-length hair, but occasionally get fed up and get it cut short. I then instantly regret it (you’re right, it’s way more work than long hair) and start re-growing. I’m glad you still love it.
SusieQ – Hope you are doing OK, hun. Chicken pox?! You’re just having all the fun!
Hi also to CharliB, Hope, Angelic, Chez, Samcougar, Lemonade, Cmegles and anyone else I may have missed. Hope you are all doing well and that we hear from you soon.
AFM – I was being kind to DH last Sat and mowed our backyard – that is until I hit a yellow jacket nest in the ground. Did I mention that I’m allergic to wasp stings? So I’m stung multiple times, racing at top speed from the yard to our kitchen door, and completely freaking out. I’m yelling for DH at the top of my lungs, in excruciating pain, and flinging items at random out of our freezer until I find a suitable cold pack (peas). DH FINALLY makes it downstairs from the office and tells me that I should really tell him what the matter is when I call for him so that he will know whether or not it is an emergency. Now really… the whole screaming incoherently at the top of my lungs didn’t tip you off? I didn’t actually think I was being that subtle. To top it all off, my epi-pen was completely buried in our kitchen junk drawer and when we finally found it…. it was expired by 4 years. Thank God I didn’t need it, although I did swell up pretty spectacularly. I’ve been on steroids for four days now and the swelling has finally just gone down (although I’m still a bit itchy and have some hives). On the bright side, I now have a ready-made excuse for why I can no longer mow the lawn!
Hugs, baby dust, and sticky vibes to everyone! xoxo
SusieQ - oh sweetie - I had the chicken pox as an adult too ( 26 I think) and it was awful. I still vividly remember it. The fever and headaches preceding the outbreak of the blisters and then dealing with the physical discomfort of the itching and unsightliness of the blisters. Do everything you can to get some relief and try not to scratch! I hope you don't have them on inside your eyes, nose, throat, lips, private areas..... PINETARSOL worked wonders for me when other products didn't. Hopefully DH doesn't get it. I even got my DH to drive me around at night so I could at least get out of our apartment, and it was dark so not many people could see my pox ridden face. Anyway, feel better soon.... thinking of you. And thanks for stalking me in other threads.... it's really touching. :) hugs.
ChrisW- OMG - that is so scary and boo hoo to DH for being an idiot about it! Maybe that's just his stress reaction? Are you ok now? Hope you got your epi pen script re filled. Good that you haven't needed it for ages.... Has DH smoked out those wasps? I didn't realise they nested in the ground. I think most wasps here in Oz nest in trees/vines. I am glad you found a clinic much closer to home than Cal. I love Chicago btw, been there a few times and honestly never tire of it. It's cosmopolitan without being too crazy. Of course they have made the most of the lakeside although I can't for the life of me imagine what possesses people to swim in Lake Michigan. I heard the tox levels are quite high of Chicago. It does look so blue and inviting though....admittedly I have never braved Chicago in winter..... but its great in late spring, summer and early autumn. I think the last time I went was summer and it was very much like a summer here but without the oppressive humidity. And I love squirrels and their flambouyant tails.
Hello to everyone else. Hope, Angelic ( busy busy as usual?) Samcougar, Lemonade ( have you had your appointment with your new Dr yet?)
Crumpet - good news girl.
Gigi - how are you feeling?
Cmeggles - hows it going......
Chez - you ok?
Teni hope you had a nice day. What did you do?
Powelly - It's ok to be scared, of everything. I think it's normal after loss.
thanks chris, im hoping when/if we get to 28weeks it will be a nice suprise for DH to see worm in 3D only not just the usual scans.... he says he can see why ppl get them but cant see the point of spending the $$$, to bad if he doesnt know that he is going to one!!! lol....:
:o OMG u poor thing!!! dont worry my DH doesnt react when i yell either, yet if there is a massive bang or something he comes running :rolleyes:
:birthday2::birthday2:HAPPT BIRTHDAY TENI!!!!!!
hope u get everything u wish for this year!!!!:birthday2::birthday2:
Chris...OMG, you poor devil. I bet that hurt like mad. My husband is allergic to bees but not so much that we need aan epi pen. That is crazy business. Do you think hubby felt bad for not coming to the rescue so just blamed it on you??? Men do this sometimes. Boot him up the bum!
Hope you feel better soon.
SuzieQ... Oh dear, what a year you are having. I hope the universe has got it all out of it's system and will start leaving you be ...as of now. That is incredible. I had when i was a bub so i can give you any advice, but it sounds like you have all unders control. Get well soon babe. No scratching! Oh I know ice is good to stop itching so if there is a naughty spot...pack of peas.
Dory, Flu is gone and i don't think i have been into it too much in here...not like my blog, but as far as gloominess and depression, I am doing ok today hun. Actually I was doing really well for the last few days. Hit a bit of a set back today. Visited the family and caught the girls making funny looks to each other about something i said. God it feels like high school and I know i am being a bit sensitive. But it really urks me because you starts the paranoia...they are in cohoots with each other and it is giving me the pits.
Anyhoo, going to have an egg muffin and watch some box to chill out. I won't let them get to me, I am too big a person for that. I am a good person. All i can say is i hope i don't make people feel that way. Silly people.
Right, my 5 mins is up.
xoxoox
CD13 today but no real signs of ov yet...wierd for me. I am usually spot on. I had a few signs in CM earlier on...CD8 but who knows what is happening. xoxo
:bfn: Ah well, I'm not even sure it's the right time to be testing. I just wanted to top off my birthday with a BFP *sigh* No biggie, I'll keep testing every now and then until AF shows up or I get a BFP ;)
Hope everyone's well xox
Sorry Teni, hun I hope you have a nice birthday and have all the things you can't have when you are pregas. Happy Birthday sweet and take care. xoxo
Sorry about the BFN Teni, but AF hasn't shown up yet and you also have that u/s coming up. You may still be in for a little birthday surprise! I've got everything crossed for you sweetie.
:crossfingers::goodluck::crossfingers::goodluck:
Sorry Teni, hopefully you just tested too early. Hope AF doesn't show up. FX!!
Had lots of EWCM yesterday (which was exactly 14 days from last D&C). Forgot to take my temp this morning to confirm...annoying! No sexy time anyway. At least it would appear things are starting to go back to normal. There is going to be a lot of BD'ing in July in my house! DH will be a very happy man lol.
Over the worst of CP I think! Spots starting to dry. I look like hell but I think I haven't had it that bad in terms of itchiness. I have one annoying one in my throat though that is making it painful to eat and drink - can't eat much so hopefully I might lose a kg!! Dory - love the driving around at night thing! Was thinking a burqa might work for me lol!!
Susie - good to hear you are feeling a bit better... you could always try a motorboke helmet... about the weight loss, something good has to come of feeling yuk.
Just did a stupid thing and read most of what SHOULD be my baby buddies group :wall: Why can't I just go back to February and make everything okay again? I don't WANT to be in this thread, I don't want to be TTC, I just want my baby! I don't want to be awake at this time of morning for no reason... :cry: I should be up feeding a little chubby baby...
Sorry... I needed to vent but didn't think it warranted a new thread...
Teni, you go ahead and vent just as much as you want - whenever and wherever. I wish I could give you a big hug for real, sweetie. I read your blog and I'm so sorry AF showed up and that you're still in the TTC pool. You're right. You shouldn't have to be here and it's grossly unfair that you're not holding Ianto right now. As a matter of fact, none of us should have to be here and I think we've probably all felt something similar.
As for reading the baby buddies post... I still look at a due date calculator site that tells me where my baby would have been in their development today. Apparently I like self-inflicted punishment too! :wall:
I also have a friend who got pregnant at the same time I did the first time around (in 2006). We both had an early m/c (didn't find out about each other until later though), but she got pregnant the very next cycle and went on to have a beautiful baby boy. He's 3 now, and every time I see him and hear about everything he's doing, I can't help but think... my baby should be that old and doing those things too. Why couldn't my baby have lived too? I'm better now at squelching that urge to compare them than I was right after her son was born (really had a hard time even seeing them early on). Sometimes, though, I guess I just feel the need to pick that scab and open up that wound again. I guess you did too.
I hope daylight brings renewed hope.... Give yourself a big hug.
Chris, so well put. Thinking of you too hun...TWW can be a trial.
Teni, I am sorry hun that another cycle has let you down. I often fall into the hole where you find yourself now and I have past DD's anniversary. It is still so raw for you. I still find myself overwhelmed with grief sometimes and it feels like yesterday. I can only imagine how you must be feeling right now. I know we are all different but sadly we share something horrible- an understanding.
I am so sorry it is a hard day for you. Keep your hope and if it evades you today, know that somehow it will return. Thinking of you. xoxo
AFM- CD17 and amidst TWW. I am very nervous but also excited...kind of equal servings of both. Every now and then one will tip the scales and they seem to take turns. I am not sleeping well at all and find myself all over the shop.
My dear friend who has lost many bubs in first tri has just found out that her 8 week pregnancy is a Phantom. I don't understand fully how they work but she now finds herself yet again in familar shoes waiting for her body to miscarry. They are both devastated and grieving. God i wish life weren't so cruel. Sometimes there is just no rhyme or reason to break a heart. I am gutted for them and it leaves me in familiar shoes hoping that if and when i fall pregnant, i don't want my news to hurt anyone i love or care for. Her last loss was a month before we fell preg with DD. I silently thought that her body and spirit introduced our DD before she came to us. That she gave us the greatest gift of all. She had once or twice said to us that she wish she could sarrogate for us and maybe in some cosmic way she did. She has two beautiful children 14 and 10 but her family feels incomplete. I think it is magical and incredible a woman and a man can have such strong intuition to just know that is so. Hmmm...life, a full on journey.
Going to see Train this weekend which shoud be fun. DH has only one day off this week.I have more photos to take this week and i have one more day to develop what i have so far while big w has a sale on. That should keep me busy for a TWW...without me delving into the world of planning a pregnancy's life too much. Here's hoping. xoxo
hun i know how u feel to a certain extent...:
please dont take this the wrong way i dont know exactly how to word it....
i dont want to be struggling with pregnancy stuff like morning sickness, like u i should have a porky new born to be looking after and what not, but here i am starting this journey all over again......
its a bloody hard ride isnt it hun...
big :hug::hug::hug::hug: for u
Hi ladies
ChrisW - after I read your story about the wasp stings while mowing and knew that you were ok, you had me ROFL about you yelling at your DH and him not realising it was an emergency! Sometimes they can be a little slow... my DH runs at every bang or yelp from me so I know I have to be careful otherwise he worries too much.
Teni - happy belated birthday and sorry for your BFN hun :hug:. And I understand where you are at completely missing your baby and feeling the way you do. I see babies in prams that the age that Ryan should be ATM and I get a sinking feeling in my heart. It's just so damn unfair!
Crumpet - I am sorry that your DH is sad right now. I think the 3D scan is a great idea but that seems like forever away to wait until then. I hope some of Dory's suggestions might help out. Maybe he is just catching up with the grieving as seeing you pg is reminding him of the hope that you felt when you were pg with Gus? I hope he feels better soon.
Gigi - love your Dr joke! And congrats on the new hair do. I did the same thing before we fell pg with Ryan and then spent months trying to grow it back for our wedding. I have been getting about 3 inches chopped off mine each week, so it is now about shoulder length rather than shoulder blade length. I had thought about going to bob on Saturday as well but I know DH prefers me with long hair so I am sneaking up on it! I am pleased that you are back TTC again and I have my fingers and toes crossed for you in your TWW. So sad to hear about your friend's phantom pg. Again, it so damn unfair!
SuzieQ - I had chicken pox at 22 so I know how you feel. I couldn't sleep for about 3 days in the end, so I got up about 2am and cleaned my whole house top to bottom until I collapsed in exhaustion. Then I slept for about 14 hours straight. I hope that doesn't happen to you! And yay for moving back to Perth - that's where my inlaws are I really like it there.
Dory - hi, hope you are doing well and your fur baby's op went well. They are so important and rely on us so much for their needs. I hope he/she is recovering beautifully and you are spoiling him/her rotten!
Hi to Angelic, lemonade, CharlieB, cmeglles, Powelly and everyone else.
AFM, I have kind of been in hiding waiting for this cycle to finish. I am CD33 today and am pretty sure that the clomid has thrown my body completely out of whack. I thought I was getting AF last weekend but still she hasn't arrived. I have occasional cramps/twinges but not even spotting as yet. I am having another b/t tomorrow so I guess I will know more then. My FS told me last week that she is going to be away from the end of this week until mid July. She is going to a big IVF conference in Rome apparently so there is no chance of us starting IVF any time soon until she gets back. All of the other decent FS in town are all going to the conference as well so not even the chance of a referral or locum. I actually feel pretty good about that so we will just keep doing b/t and monitor things while she is away. So DH and I have booked a weekend away in Sydney next month as a treat for us and a kind of birthday gift for me, so that is nice to have something to look forward too.
Anyway, gotta go as DH is calling me for dinner.
oxo
Don't worry crumpet, I know what you mean :) I expect I'll feel that way too once it happens for me *sigh* I know I'm not the only one going through these feelings, I suppose I just feel lonely a lot of the time and forget it...
AF is starting to get slower (thank goodness, I'm down to my last pad and need to wait for Scott to bring some home after work!)
just a very quick hello coz it seems I am not allowed near my computer
Hello lovely ladies,
Sorry a selfish post today, I'm feeling a bit down. My best friends sister had their second bub, a beautiful little girl yesterday (I am wrapped for them don't get me wrong) but their first bub was due on the same day as Riley was and it kind of hurts that they have had another happy healthy little bubba and we haven't even been able to conecive our second little one.
I am now 3 weeks over due for AF and i'm not pg :cry: , it's just getting a bit frustrating. I haven't had an on time AF since before i had Riley. My MIL goes to a natrapath (I think thats spelt wrong :redface:) anyway she suggested that i go to her also. I'm actually thinking that i might go, maybe she can help me?
Sorry for ranting i'm just sore and sorry for myself, I sprained my ankle at hockey training last night and can't get a dr's app till tomorrow (luckly i don't think its broken, but its bloody sore!)
Gosh i read that back to myself and i do sound like a wah wah!! :lol: Sorry just need to vent!
I hope you are all well. :D
Bec- Vent all you like hun. We are listening and understand. Hope you ahve a better day tomorrow. I am so sorry today is so hard. I an thinking of you. It is really difficult being pulled from their happiness and your own sadness. That speaks to me atm. I have fertile people and babies around me too! Big hugs hun and hope you find answers at the natropath. I find natural help a real benefit as far as regulating life. xoxo
:o OMG!!! Out of sheer frustration this arvo, after not having AF for 7 weeks I POAS for the 10th time, I fully expected a BFN BUT I have a faint BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG :o I can't believe it!!! I think i may have ovulated very late (I did have my suspisions) OMG :o. I shouldn't get this excited but OMG!!! :dance: I went to the drs today to have them look at my ankle and they wanted to send me for an xray but i got home and called the xray place and cancelled it, it just didn't feel right to have one. Maybe this is why! I will test again in a couple of days, I'm praying that it's right and that beautiful line gets stronger.:pray: OMG!!! :lol:
:jawdrop: :happyforyou::
Congratulations! Keep us updated, hey? :) Good luck with it all :)
:clap:[COLOR="red"]WOOHOO!![/COLOR] Congratulations!! That really was a sneaky BFP. So so so pleased for you. :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance:
:clap::confetti::leap::confetti::clap:
WAY TO GO SAMCOUGAR!!!!!!!
Sending lots of sticky vibes your way hun! :stickyvibesgirl::stickyvibesboy:
xoxo
HOORAY SAMCOUGAR!!! CONGRATS!!! This just made my day.
Hopefully much more soon!
Ok time for a real post- I said I would stay away, but I love you ladies too much!
Chez- that is terrible about the IVF conference. Maybe try and think that your doc will come back much better and you will succeed right away!
Gigi1- So sad about your friend. It just breaks my heart to hear of someone suffering another loss on top of what they have already had. Plus it scares me. A LOT! I am really hoping for you this TWW- it is time! (at least in my opinion)
ChrisW and Tenibear- I think we all see things that remind us of our dear lost ones. I still seek them out. I don't think it is bad, and although it is really hard, I always try to remember that I am upset because of the love I have in my heart for my child and how much I miss them. Sending you a hug to be with you during those hard days.
SusieQ- how is the CP going dear? When we were trying this last time- we missed our 'perfect' day to do the BD. I was SO mad. Dh wasn't feeling well- and I was mad at him.....(not so good huh?). But things turned out ok. Hooray for BD July--sounds like it should be much more fun than June... Wishing you good luck and no scars!
Hi to everyone I missed...
AFM- things are going well- nothing scary to report and I am too scared to be excited by anything. Holding my breath and going day by day.
:leap::leap::leap:
massive congrats samcougar!!!
:happyforyou::happyforyou::happyforyou::happyforyo u:
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.
Love, luck and laughter to you all xoxo
Powelly, I am sorry hun. I hope you are wrong and i still hold hope for you .xoxo
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!!!
SAM COUGAR - awesome girl! I am soo soo happy for you. It is just the best news. Congratulations on your bfp, and well done on just going with your intuition. Look forward to seeing you in another thread soon? It's ok if it takes you a while to gather the courage. Took me ages. Thinking of you especially in this exciting and daunting time. Stay snuggly.
Gigi - good to hear you've got your mojo back, it just shines out of your posts. The mushrooms sound like a great pressie.
Hello to all my other sweet lovlies, I am just catching up but am looking forward to reading your posts. Take care. Hope you have a nice weekend.
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.
Love to all xoox
Hello Ladies!
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). :shakehead:
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.
Have a good weekend everyone! :D
xoxoxo
ChrisW - I loooove your haiku!
And yes, AF has packed her bags and buggered off again :dance: I also asked DH if he was alright with DTD every second day, and he was fine with it (:rofl: he thought it was a compromise and I really wanted it daily!) We've "practised" two nights in a row ;) and if I have a similar cycle as the last one, I'll be Oing on or near his birthday :) He can't turn me down for "special birthday sex" :lol:
...wow, I use a lot of emoticons...
ChrisW, we are on the same timeframe! My AF is due today as well and I honestly feel as if it's coming, had cramps for the last three days which I usually don't get until it arrives. Every time I go to the loo I think, this will be it, but NO! No other symptoms apart from big boobs but that could mean anything. I got a BFN yesterday so will test again tomorrow. The waiting game sucks. I just want SOMETHING to happen! Good luck :D
Chris and Powelly that makes 3 of us then. I am on day 31 or is it 32.. but no lines at all and a tiny bit of spotting dark colour (old) but that's it. No other signs of being pg or AF.
Chris I am quitting TTC so I will only pop in here every now and again. I figure at my age now it just is not going to happen and I'll end my child bearing years on a m/c of identical twins back in April.
I am grateful for the children I do have and I love being a mum. I will forever miss my sweet Annabelle and all she could have been.
Big hugs to you all and may you all hold rainbow babies before too much longer.
Thank you for the friendship and support during my stay here.
hugs
Jude
Oh wow so much happening.
Firstly,
Chris and Teni, you crack me up- the pair of you.
Jude- I send you off with a big hug. It was a pleasure knowing you and I do hope you get a surprise oneday if that is your dream. Until then, wonderful mumma I hope you enjoy life. I will think of you and your angel DD as she is born the same month as mine, not the same year. I wish you every happiness and I thank you so very much for being a part of our little group. THe group no one wants to be part of. Take care my friend. xoxo
Chris- I hope mum will like it. She will i think, it is her thing! Loved the Haiku thingy...clever and funny. We all need that. xoxo I hope it is wrong though. Fingers crossed.
Teni- Good Luck and sounds like some fun ahead. xoxo
Powelly- My fingers are crossed for you that the hormones are on the rise. I hope this month proves a surprise for you hun. Good luck.
AFM- CD22 and my creative mind is going MAD with ideas for different things. Now have to capture them and put them on paper or do something about them. My dreams are going right off the scale right now, can hardly keep up.
I am doing well, staying busy. Looking great with my new hair! LOL and staying our of mischeif. Feeling quite my peppy self actuall which is nice.
Better go xoxox
Oh...today nearly took a bad turn but we saved it. Went to a market and found it was all baby and kids stuff. I thought it was going to be artsy and crafty. OMG there were bugaboos up my heels, babies crying, children running and bellies just staring at me. It just took me by surprise and i was really proud of myself, i decided to pull the pin and go anohter time. It was a beautiful market but i felt like a deer in headlights with no where to turn. We were meant to be meeting people there but luckily they were running late and we cancelled on them. Too big for today and too my by surprise. It is nice to recognise and pull out early when you can...save yourself and keep going. Phew! LOL Big thing for me today and I am proud of me!

Hey lovely ladies! Well nothing to report on this end except that I'm LOSING patience so fast and am confused as to what's going on with me. I've had bad cramps on and off for almost 4 days, have the tears and tantrums happening and yet no period. As of yesterday morning a BFN yet again. Am I over thinking and can that really make your periods late? It's driving me batty and it's only my FIRST month! haha
