Good morning Clare - sounds like you had a busy weekend at work. I hear you about Christmas lights. The people that live down the road from us have the most amazing display of Christmas lights. Our kids just absolutely love it - so we thought we had better get into the spirit! Unfortunately our dog ate Santa (deco of course!) That was a bit tragic however after the tears subsided the Christmas lights were a winner.
It has been quiet in here over the weekend...
Kirsty - that is so fabulous to have lost 5kgs - you go girl! This is most certainly going to be a big year for us all! My personal goal is to have a baby or babies (twins would be quite welcome!) in my arms by this time next year. There - it's out there so now I just have to work towards it! I am cd3 now and had my first clomid dose last evening. I remember last time I had some hot flushes and felt pretty emotional arount cd10. So a few days left. I will book in today for a follie scan on cd12 or 13. However, I will do opk's as well. I intend to catch that egg/s!
I hope Mel is having a beautiful time - perhaps she will come back with some good news to share!!!
Kirisivee, BecG, Michelle and anyone else I have missed have a great day and I will pop in later...
Kristee : I am sorry to hear the witch turned up, my first cycle after my loss was a shocker so I hope they are not like that forever. In fact I hope not to see another AF for at least the next 9 months I also hope this is the last AF you have to deal with for a while. I was LMAO when you said you were a POAS addict because because I ordered 50 from a site also and I was using them during the first day of my period!!! How silly is that, I thought there might be a slight possibility that it was implantation bleeding. I guess I was just really upset to see AF that I was in a bit of denial. I'm not sure where you got your HPT's from but I got them for about 75cents each and they were delivered to home within 2 days. I am not sure if I can post the name of the website but if anyone wants me to email it to them just let me know.
Kirsty: Hey hun. CONGRATULATIONS for losing 5 kgs. I know how hard it can be. About 2 years ago I tried really hard and lost 20kgs(mind you I had pleanty to loose). Before Harrison I put on about 4 extra and with my pregnancy excess Harrison I have basically got 12 to lose. So good on ya, 5 kgs is a real acheivement I hope you get down to your goal weight but I couldn't agree with you more that if you get the all clear then who cares about the weight.
Clare: Sorry hun that the dreaded witch seems to be on the way, but as they say, it is not over until the AF lady sings. I don't know if there is anything you can do to bring it on but I always find that if I think AF is on the way and I exercise, she tends to show up quicker. It may just be a conincidence but seems to work. I hope if AF does show up she is kind to you and you have the you deserve this cycle
Flowerchild: Good on you for setting the goal of having a baby (or babies ) by this time next year. I think that is a wonderful goal and I hope with all my might that it becomes your reality.
We had a quiet weekend. DH took the dogs to the beach with some of his mates yesterday. I didn't go because I just wanted some quiet time. My DH said it is the first time he has really just relaxed since we had Harrison so it was really good to see him smile. He is in a grooms party on the 9/12/06 so we spent the evening at the grooms house trying to get the organised (which mind you is like pulling teeth). One of my friends there has a 6mth boy and I have to be honest, it was hard at first but I managed to have a cuddle and didn't burst into tears. Big acheivement for me.
Bec G, Michelle and anyone else out there, I hope you have a wonderful day and I am sending a big sticky vibes your way.
I must have been typing when you posted your messages. Michelle, I am so excited for you having your 12 week scan soon. I can't wait to hear all about it and I think the idea of putting a pic in the christmas cards is gorgeous. I think that is so sweet and such a nice way of telling family and friends about your little bubba.
About how to celebrate christmas, I know there is a thread in the m/c and loss thread about it but I am not sure how to put a link it. It is called 'Angel Babies and Christmas' and was posted by Lisa. We are not going to put a tree up this year because we will have just moved to Canberra and I really can't pretend to be happy this year. Like you Flowerchild, Harrison would have been 11 weeks old for Christmas and I already have a little Christmas outfit that he will never get to wear. I did hear of a really nice idea though. You can get a christmas bauble with you angel babies name on it for the tree. I think you can get it done in most shopping centres.
I really hope that you have a wonderful 12 week scan. It is truly an amazing moment when you see your little baby squirming around in there.
I also hope this is the last AF you have to deal with for a while. I was LMAO when you said you were a POAS addict because because I ordered 50 from a site also and I was using them during the first day of my period!!! How silly is that, I thought there might be a slight possibility that it was implantation bleeding. I guess I was just really upset to see AF that I was in a bit of denial.

I hope you get down to your goal weight but I couldn't agree with you more that if you get the all clear then who cares about the weight. 
you deserve this cycle
