Powelly - awesome to hear from you... sorry about your lumpy scare too - how goes it? Where can I find you if not in this thread if I want to stalk how you are going? And what you said to Gi is what I would have wanted to say, but you said it heaps better.
LnD - good decision sweetie - you might be surprised about a few things in this new phase - just how hard it can be to let go of all the things we do that really just adds pressure to ourselves but we do anyway, and secondly, just how liberating it is not to do them. I hope you get your bfp during the time you're not really trying to.... IYKWIM. FX for tomorrow - have you done something nice for yourself? I think it's pretty good advice.... Gigi took it and look how she's got her mojo back. You deserve to indulge yourself.
Gi - how is that bathroom coming along?
Hello to those I've not done persies for - Lollylegs, Tashy, Kate, MissB, Lady Tess... anyone Ive missed... sorry. Need a nap.
AFM just wanted to share....Oh funny moment here yesterday. DH, Hannah and I are out walking. Its dusk. We're on a concrete path ( so the contrast between light and dark is good) and see a dark gray snake - about a foot long, and maybe index finger wide, wriggling towards us. DH is pushing the pram, thankfully, as when I see the snake, I utter f**k, f**k and bolt in the opposite direction to the snake. I couldn't really control my reaction. When I am far enough away I turn around and start laughing at my reaction only to see DH backpeddling too. He managed to do it without the profanities. The snake continued to slither towards us and then off the edge of the path. It's not the first snake we've seen out walking, but the first to come towards us. It didn't look like it was attacking or being defensive, just more scared of us really. It was sort of coming down a hill and across the path when we came across it. Anyway, I am only sticking to the path, cause then at least I can see the little things.
Here's a quick question about threads - I've been thinking about it for a while - would you find it helpful to have somewhere in the thread a list of all who are subscribed to it? I have so much trouble remembering sometimes, and I hate to leave anyone out for fear they'll think they're not in my thoughts, but I know that I do leave people out if they haven't posted for a while. Anyway, just curious if it's something you think you'd like.
Yes yes yes, that would be great Dory. I have often had the very same thoughts but then also thought it was not possible.
Look at you...changing the world already, i love it!
Powelly, HI!! It has been a while. Thank you for your words sweety, you are just so lovely. I do feel much stronger at the moment and it blows my mind too how one can hit such depths and manage to come back. When you are down there it often feels like it could never happen. Thankful for the miracles of the human heart, mind, body and soul to heal- no matter what the path.
LnD, I am quietly so so happy you have made this decision. You know me, the hippy, go with the flow kind of girl. You have so much going on right now. I have such faith in you to be able to handle anything that comes your way but i also worry for you that the load can be too much for anyone. Good on you as i know this must have been a very difficult decision to make.
I hope hope hope that this is the perfect path for you and you get a big surprise. It will be a chllenge to let go a bit, but i bet you do it easier than you think. xoxox It will take time hun. Good Luck and this post has just filled my heart. You have such strength. Heal my friend and find yourself all over again. xoxo Thinking of you tomorrow.
Dory, bathroom happening but very slowly. I promise to do something on it today. I am trying to take the tiles out of there so very slowly to avoid tile dust throughout the bedroom. So i am removing some and then letting the settle, then removing more. We are getting there. xoxo
Hi girls! how are we all?
Lysndan, i like ur decisioin hun, u can alway do it for 6 months and if nothing happens then come back to actively TTC, hopefully it happens for u though.
not much going on here CD...something, not 100% sure, all i knows is we'll be doing some seeerious BDing aroung the 10th

Just popping my head in because we are going to be ttc in a couple of months. Dr said wait 6 months after c section but we are going to try after 3 especially with my ovulation issue so here's hoping af comes back very soon

Hi Everyone - (too many to remember lol) Clomid round 2 starts today, let the mood swings begin (actually I don't think they ever stopped!) Even one of my friends commented very carefully that she had noticed I was "More snappy than usual" How embarrassing.. Whoops!! Blame the clomid!
Powelly, hi nice to hear from you. Hope all is going well.
LnD, sounds like a very sensible decision and I know from experience that making decisions with your head rather than following your heart is particularly difficult. I hope that you get a nice little surprise very soon as we found when we fell pg with our DS, it was when we weren't trying and had essentially given up for the year. FX for you for today.
Dory, the confrontation with the snake must have been a bit scarey at the time, but you're right it was probably more scared of you both! Good on you for getting back to the running, it is something that I always enjoyed, but definitely not running around in circles! I always needed a destination or a route to follow to keep things interesting.
Gi, so glad to hear that everything went well with your SIL. I hope the naturopath is onto some good things for you. GL with the bathroom reno. Talk about a project to keep you busy! And I am sure you will be able to convince the body corp about the guide dog. Surely one neighbour's objection can't stop it?
Ahurani, hi and welcome to our thread. I hope your stay here is a short one. I don't know much about your story but I know that the ladies here are a wonderful source of support and strength so you have come to the right place.
Blessed, GL with the clomid hun. I did one cycle and didn't have any mood issues but I did get heaps of headaches with it. I hope it works for you.
To everyone else I have missed, a big hello and baby dust to all.
AFM, 24 weeks today so we can quietly let out a sigh of relief. If bubs was born soon then there would be some chance of survival. When I was in hospital at 22 weeks I was told that the baby was not viable if born then. Still we are hoping that splodge will hang quite a bit longer but it is another milestone for us. This is my second week of 'bed rest'. It is hard with hubby still not having the full use of his left wrist/hand. I am taking things easy but it is such a beautiful sunny autumn day here I might go out for a short walk around the block. I have managed to trial ironing while sitting down and its not too bad. I have my next uni assignment due on 15th so that will keep me busy. I am so glad that this is my last subject as I can't imagine trying to study while looking after a baby!
yay for 24 weeks chez!! thats so awesome hun.
Hi A, good to see u in here babe
Hey BAL, hope u had a great weekend
hi too everyone else, hope this week is kind to u all
xxxx
Hi
I have never posted online in any type of forum before so I hope I am doing it right. My husband and I lost our beautiful son on the 8/4/2011. Words cannot describe how I felt when at my 27 week check up no heart beat could be found.
As it has only been 2 weeks today I know it is too early to TTC but I just cant stop thinking about how desperately I need to try again.
I would love to get to know the other women on here and hope to chat to some of you soon.
EmilyJames - I am so sorry you lost your precious boy Welcome to BB I'm sorry it was tragic circumstances that brought you here. I am sure you will find loads of support, as unfortunately many of us have gone down this road
Dory - Anymore mad stabs in the dark??
Gigi - It is definitely hard to hear pregnancy announcements from your family. That feeling of being jealous as hell, but happy for them aswell. It'ss hard to manage..
Hi to Mummydreamer, Tashybabe, MissB and anyone else I have missed.
AFM - I have updated in the clomid thread a while ago saying that once again my r'ship is very unstable, however being the sucker that I am, he romanced me with a nice ocean view room, dinner and champagne and it just so happened to be last w'end right on O!!!! Considering I didn't want to waste my clomid cycle, it was perfect timing, (although probably not the most responsible thing to do)
Anyway I am 6DPO today and going for my day 21 progesterone test this morning.. Sure enough I have been dreaming about breastfeeding a baby. Happens every month in the TWW I have noticed! It's awful to wake up and feel like your boobs should be full and your baby should be there
Things apart from that are up and down, I hate this time of the year with Easter and Mothers day, I haven't been able to sleep and I have been working every day.. On a good note though, I have a job interview in 2 weeks for a hospital's grad program. There aren't many places so i really have to make an impression! So wish me luck!
in between solictors and the health commissoner prodding into our case about Matthew. I was ready to swear up and down and black and blue that I did not ovulate this month. Went of the clomid about January so we have been having a "break" organised a new lot of Clomid to start this coming month, woke with Cramping yesterday. it felt like ovulation cramps, but I wasnt due for AF till today.
Curiosity got the best of me and I decided to test with a Ovulation Pee Stick thingy, peed and realised soon after that it was a pregnancy stick and went into my bedroom drawers to get an ovulation stick... (as I had peed in a cup) on my return I spotted those precious 2 lines..... I was dumbstruck. I fell to the floor and bawled my eyes out for what seemed to be an eternity. Immediantly (thank god for iphones) I took a picture of the test and sent it to a girlfriend who confirmed she could see 2 lines.
We have done it... Although I have worries very very early. I still have cramping and spotting when I wipe (which is just new today) tomorrow is my appt with my GP to have a blood test and an Ultrasound later in the afternoon. I am so scared about what they will find. I have almost convinced myself it was implanation bleed as today is my due date for AF.
BTW I had confirmed with a more expensive Pee stick test last night... 2 lines showed right away. Then for fun I peed on 5 cheapos... haha all showing healthy lines.
Yet I am not sure how mentally I would handle loosing even a 5 week old fetus... we have been trying for simply forever.
I will come back with personals when I get back from my appointment tomorrow with news......
Fingers crossed ok?
editing to say please ignore my sig..... 7dpo is wrong....
Tashy - you are welcome, about the support. Just glad my unique experiences have some use. I just wanted to add something... when you spoke about not crying, you could have been writing about me. For the longest time, there was no real anguished crying.... and then when it did come, it was overwhelming, but different to the first time. I just checked your tally, and Jude did it! He raised his target, and more. Isn't he amazing. Go gently my dear.
AFM - feeling better physically, but emotionally wiped out. Lots of tears from me lately... I am hoping that it's just being over wrought from the last few weeks and not anything more serious, but all of us here are candidates for pnd.....a bit sobering.... anyway, off to bed for me.
Sorry no more persies from me, but you're in my thoughts.
Skybie, you know m/s can come out of the blue when you least expect it! How many weeks are you hun? I didn't have any with no.1 but with n.2 it started from 6 weeks. Both my mum's pg were m/s free, she breezed through it like a champ. Lucky duck! If you like I'll pray for m/s for you, but do you really want it? lol.
Dory, bugger about your cold!! Can you get your hands on a good garlic and horseraddish tablet? They used to help me heaps with my colds (as in I didn't get that many on the tablets). Hope you darling Hannah Bear gets better too
Judy, what a bugger about your car hun! I can't believe how close you came to me, I'm next suburb down from Mordi!
Emily James, congrats hun! Wishing you a happy & healthy pg hun!
Gigi, those muffins sound delish! Hope your chiro app. went well gorgeous
Oh Kate, I can really sypathise with you about setting up the new baby's nursery and sorting Ellen's things. Must be pretty heart wrenching. Thinking of you. On the upside, 33 weeks hun, that's so close now! GL sweetie!
LadyTess, hope your app.went well hun. Try and not think the worst, I'm sure all will be well sweetie.
Mummy2two, GL in your 2WW hun! There is no reason to think you can't add to your brood, even if your hubby's swimmers are on the dud side! lol. My DF has a zero count but he is convinced there is one good one in there.......I just let him think it but then again, maybe there is just the one!lol.
Hello to anyone I missed!
AFM ladies, I had an aweful call yesterday from my IVF nurse. It seems my egg reserve count has dropped from 13 to 3.8. I am devastated to say the least. We go in next Thursday to talk to our FS about it.
Oh B...that is not nice news. I hope they have some solutions for you babe, something you can do. xooxoxxo Thinking of you xoox
Skybie...hang in there sweet. The early stages are so hard. You will 'feel' something soon, so find your peace, quiet your mind and i hope symptoms pop up to reassure you. xoxoxo You can do this my friend. xoxo
so here's hoping af comes back very soon
(actually I don't think they ever stopped!) Even one of my friends commented very carefully that she had noticed I was "More snappy than usual" How embarrassing.. Whoops!! Blame the clomid!
Still trying to work this out!
