Hi Ladies
Chez - :hug: to you. Im sorry you had a bad day and hope that the one's following are better. My fingers are crossed for you next month!
Blessed - Just like Chez I cried when I read your amazingly beautiful verse for your babies. I too hope that the day is peaceful and that you get a lovely day for it. I will be thinking of Taite and Seth on the 3rd.
Teagz - how are you? I hope you are fighting fit and cruising along nicely! Lol about falling in or off the toilet I did that last time - caught me totally off guard :o
Beata - Oooh I hope your little one co-operates for you to see the bits! Good luck! I hope you are travelling along nicely.
Hi to anyone I have missed....
AFM - I am officially 1 day late for AF - according to the pregnyl injection that to make me ovulate on the Wed 2 weeks ago. I have huge bb's and tender nipples and just slight pulling pains in my uterus/ovaries not too bad though. Nothing like my AF pains. Very tired but otherwise feel ok. Maybe a little nauseous if i dont eat but thats pretty normal for me anyway. So as you can see it could still go eithier way, will just wait it out until Saturday. I want to be positive about it all but would be devastated the get the wrong answer! So fingers crossed ladies..... Time will tell :pray:
Take care

Hi ladies
Aries - wow! :o I have all my fingers, toes and eyes crossed for you for Saturday! :crossfingers:
Beata - very sneaky but I still saw the fine print! Congrats on a little blue bundle. How did you find out? Weren't you waiting for another scan or did you have that already - this week has flown by!
Teagz - :hello: good to see that you're still popping in to check up on us :D
AFM, had AP today which was nice and relaxing. Shame I had to rush back to work afterwards! Anyway, am feeling really positive about this cycle. I'm using the fertility monitor, I'm on new herbs, I'm exercising, eating well, caffiene free (and alcohol mostly), and losing weight. Now if only I could control everything else I'd be pg in a jiffy! :lol: Gotta go and cook dinner. DH should be home any minute.
Take care all

Aries & Cheryl, thanks ladies! I had a scan on Wednsday as two weeks ago bub had it's legs crossed!
Seriously, you two are in line for the next round of BFPs. I am very loudly and proudly cheering for you, praying for you and doing my famous 'baby' dance (like the rain dance he he he) so BFPs pleeeeeeease show yourselves!!!!
Aries, being tired is such a good sign, and Cheryl you're probably in the best shape and frame of mind ATM, so I am praying for the both of you girls :pray::pray::pray:
I'll be popping in everyday to check on you two!

Thanks Beata and Inanna! I can almost hear your cheering :D
And Beata, :ROFL: at you doing your famous 'baby' dance. I really hope it works :pray:
Aries, I hope the tiredness is from other things other than a big day. You're testing tomorrow right? I'll be lurking waiting for your post! :crossfingers:
AFM, I'm crazy busy at work ATM. I didn't leave until 5.30pm - I swear I was just about the last person in the building! Anyway, trying to keep calm and stay positive. I am SOOOOO looking forward to the weekend.
Take care all and have a relaxing weekend, and stay cool. It's going to be in the high 30s here! :o

Good morning everyone unfortunately I got a BFN this morning so I am not very hopeful. Thanks for your wishes and hopefully next month will be the one. I will come back for personals later. Just a question, how sensitive are the hpt's from the docs?
-
Hi Aries
Sorry for your BFN hun :hug: That must be very disappointing for you. I understand completely where you are at the moment.
And to answer your question, I have never used a HPT from the dr. I try to use the First Response HPTs as I believe they are very sensitive. I think the ones from Lullaby Conceptions might be too. Some of them actually say on the box or instructions inside how sensitive they are. e.g Lullaby is 10mlU/ML which I think is pretty good.
If you have any doubt and AF doesn't arrive, try testing again, maybe on Monday morning. You never know for sure until the fat lady sings (or AF arrives :D )
Take care hun.

Hi Ladies,
Oh Aries, I'm sorry hunni :hug: I hope next month is successful for you :crossfingers: I agree with Cheryl, First Responce HPT seem to be very sensitive, I think you can test up to 7 days before your AF is due and most times it shows a BFP is you're UTD.
Cheryl, hope things slow down for you at work. We are crazy busy at work too, since we've announced a week ago that our manufacturing part of business is closing down in March/April next year, and all of a sudden the customers are panicking and we have been getting heaps of big orders. That means heaps more work for me too! I just have that nice finish date in my sight now (22 Dec) can't wait until then!
Hi to blessedatlst, samcougar and anyone else lurking in this thread, wishing everyone lots of :bluedust: :heartbeat:

Just a quick post! I've been Crazy busy at the moment and i'm still lurking around spying on everyone :D
Aries i'm so sorry you got a BFN :hug: Maybe you could try with a more sensitive test??? i've never used a test from the dr.
:hello: to everyone else.well i really think we are overdue for some BFP's in here now. Some nice early Chrissy presents maybe? :pray: :crossfingers:

Hi,
I wanted/didn't want to come in here and introduce myself. I gave birth to our beautiful sleeping baby girl back in April when she was 28 weeks. It has been a very difficult year to date as i am sure you will all understand, sadly. We have been trying again for a while now and thought I might help increase my support to get through this. I have been finding the last couple of months quite hard. I miss her terribly and what our life was going to be like. Going through hell with family atm as a result. I hate this so so much.
We are trying our best to fall pregnant as I know time has not been on our side. I am 33 and it took 10 yrs to fall preg with DD. I have encouraged myself to try again sooner than i was really ready as i know that ttc after being pg is better asap. That adds a bit of pressure. Because a part of me wants nothing more...another big part of me doesn't want to share my life with another other than DD.
I am a bit full up at the moment to be honest. Not handling much well at all. Completely surrounded with Pg and Babies and I find myself wanting to be alone to handle my stuff. I am reaching boiling point often and I am just so angry all the time. So angry.
ANyway sorry to rant on. I hope it helps being here.
I am so sorry for you all to have a baby die. I am just so sorry. I understand to some extent the gap in your lives. I recognise your pain.
Love and thanks

Morning Ladies
Chez - I was too scared to test this morning! Stupid ey? I too like you thought that AF didnt arrive by today that I could still be in with a chance. The pregnyl injection I had was suppossed to make me ovulate so I dont understand why AF hasnt shown up yet...... I will see how brave I am tomorrow morn! Thanks xox
Beata - Thanks for your kind words too. I am still a little hopefull - only until AF arrives! No signs yet but sometimes she can show up without any signals. I have to say I have never had such clear skin before AF........... We will see. Hugs to you xox
Samcougar - Hello! Nice to hear from you - I hope you are doing ok. Thanks for your kind words also..... I will try a more sensitive test if it gets to next weekend without AF. Take care xox
Gigi1 - Welcome to our little thread, I wish it could be in better circumstances though. I am very sorry you lost your beautiful angel and I know the place you are in right now. I want to be pg again but I too am a little scared that I might be replacing my angel son and that I will compare what I should have been doing with him. TTC again is stressful after a loss. I have found the pressure to have another baby is hard too. I luckily have a supportive family but I can feel that they are holding their breaths until we announce again.
10 years is a long time (we took 4 years), how heart breaking for you. You are allowed to deal with this situation in any way you see fit. I found that it was a "damned if you do, damned if you dont" reaction by others. If I wasnt crying uncontrollably or looking really sad - I was heartless and didnt care. On the other hand if I didnt leave the house and just bawled - I needed to move on. People reactions surprised me the most - but I had to remember I was speaking to people who hadnt been in our situation and really didnt understand.
I hope you find comfort in this thread, the ladies in here are so supportive and know what you are facing. Take care xox
-
Aries, thank you so much.
I totally understand the 'damned if you do and damned if you don't' phenomenon(sp). I just want to scream somedays. I have stopped wanting to deal with other poeple and their reactions. Being made to feel that my situation make speople feel bad. Everyone seems concerned for how it might look, how I make others feel, 'casualties' and trying to please everyone. I am so tired of it. They say they don't feel this way but actions speak louder i guess. Both my SIL are pregnant and tip toe around me. Luckily my friends that are pg seem to understand a little better. They want to inclue me anyway and allow me the power to feel the way i choose about it. They don't make the assumption for me. I feel like family are exactly as you say...worried and think I need psych help if i don't answer the phone...and then on a good day they think I can handle the world. Mum made the comment that she wants to be able to speak to me without upsetting me. This was after she made comment for a tiny baby in a shopping centre and wondered why was stand offish and not going gaga. This is only 3 months after DD was born. I will always be sad for DD and some days more than others. I feel like pushing them all away. I think i resent having to deal with their stuff too. I just wish I was having to deal with me and I was allowed the space to do so. I know I am partly to blame for not standing up to people. I just dont't have a lot left for managing relationships. I guess i needed to lean on my family to pick up the slack for a while.
Thanks so much Aries for your kind words of support. It does really help to hear from others who understand. I think that is the biggest thing, finding that connection with other people to know you are not going mad and everything is as normal as it can be.
Thank you
HM xoxo

Dearest Gig1 (HM)
I am so glad that you managed to find your way to our little thread. You know that I understand very much where you are and where have been. It might not seem like it, but we have all journeyed a great distance these past 6 months :hug: and most of it has been very hard. I understand your anger and your sense of frustration, and wanting your DD and the life that you had planned to have with her. That is still possible, but your baby will be in a different physical body when he/she does come. That is what I believe anyway.
I can't remember if you are getting help from a counsellor or phsych. I found talking to a psych was very helpful and made me seperate my feelings of loss and longing for a baby, from the guilt that I was carrying around.
I also found several good books that helped, and made me cry, and made me realise that I am not alone. Those and the wonderful ladies here in this thread have really helped a lot. If you would like, I will post you the books that I found most helpful. Just PM me your address. I'm not using them anymore so they are just collecting dust on the bookshelf!
Take care and be gentle with yourself on those bad days
