~ Happy 6 month birthday Phoebe ~
Bigs :hug: to your Mummy and Daddy
Oh Klee, your message to Phoebe is beautiful and it brought a tear to my eye. I know I have already said I am thinking of you today but just wanted to get a message in fine print too ;) I am glad you are feeling all warm and good, I believe it is Phoebe around you making you feel that way :)
Hi to everyone else, I am so sorry I cant do personals - dont even have time to check mail... cant wait to the internet at home again, im dying here :wall:
Have a good weekend everybody :hello:
starbright - just wanted to send you wishes for both your angel anniversaries tomorrow. hope you and dh get through the day as best you can, big hugs to you both
mel - toilet break, sure.
think the warmth might more be from the headcold lol, remember the saying, we may be mentally disturbed but thats what makes us special
on that note, have a wonderful weekend everybody
Happy 6th month b'day Phoebe!
Happy 6 month Birthday sweet little Phoebe, big :hugs: to you and DH Klee
Lv Spring
Starbright - I'm thinking of both your angels today as well as you and DH. Take care :hug:
morning all, wow what a quiet weekend its been in here. hope everyone is well and doing okay.
no whinging from me this morning, well there is but I just can't be bothered with it all and the people it involves, cause i am feeling good again so just want to leave it like that.
Goodmorning!!
Happy days to Klee, Pheobe and partner!! Thinking of you all
Thankyou everyone for your thoughts, each month it is still hard. Its been 9 months, that is longer than i had her with me and it means pretty soon it will have been 1 year. Not sure how that will go, it doesn't feel like it has been that long, it feels like just yesterday some days.
Still on the tww, i am trying to ignore that i may be feeling crampy and like AF is coming. I have realised i wasn't imagining the other feelings, because i noticed when they stopped, i am feeling fine now, no yucky taste in mouth anymore. I will wait and see, but i think we just nmay have gotten close. Better luck next time. Still 4 days to go though, i am trying to keep positive without being delusional.
Good luck with the new Dr jo, i hope you hear some good news!!
Take care all!!
Me xox
morning ladies, still very very quiet in here :( , gonna have to start replying to myself again ;)
well i'm outta the race this month and again a little confused, (well a lot actually as to what my body is doing, i thought temps and opk's are supposed to actually tell you something, she says clueless), but am feeling positive for someone in here, c'mon ladies you can do it.
I'm still feeling good even with the let down, but basically lacking in any other emotion other than confusion, its a strange feeling, i know i shouldn't be feeling good but I can't feel anything else
Hey all,
You don't have to start replying to yourself just yet! I'm still here! LOL!
Well, I should ovulate either today or tomorrow, so fingers crossed!
How is everyone?
Don't worry, I'm here too. I don't post in here so much, but I keep an eye on each and every one of you.
Klee: Sorry that the witch showed up. Hopefully she is kind to you and you don't have to see her for at least another 9 months :hug:
Jo: Get :bd: girl and catch that eggie. Good luck with this cycle hun.
Startbright: I still have everything crossed :crossfingers: for you on Thursday hun. How are you feeling? Any symptoms.
Lv Spring
thanks ladies
jo - sounds like you might not be in here for long, lol, go get bd'ing
wow spring, not long for you now, how's you feeling and hows lil spring going? would love to see some pics when he/she arrives
Klee: I am feeling ok. About to get some CTG monitioring (don't ask me what that stands for) but it is when they monitor bubs heartrate, momement and any contractions you are getting for about 30 mins to an hour. I am having it twice a week because it gives you a good indication of the health of the baby. I am getting a little impatient but I am also so disorganised that I'll need the next few weeks to get ready.
I'll pop in later today after my appointment to see how you are.
Lv Spring
hi i am here too - feeling weird.
No sign of AF yet - still peeing every half hour or so (TMI)
I am getting a bit crampy, and really hungry. That could be my new vitamins though.
I am so good at convincing myself i am pregnant, and i'm also pretty good at convincing myself i am not. I can go either way depending on the time of day......
And someones poopy DH is against HPT.... He asked last night if i think we have made a baby yet, i said i will know on thursday, if i dont get my period i will be doing a test. Grumpy bum said there is no point - if i get my period its pretty obvious i'm not, and if i dont get it i am.
Well, i am not going to spend the next week wondering if AF is going to show. I am doing a test on Wed or Thursday - unless AF shows before that.....
Doesn't he realise there are only a few happy moments i will be 100% thrilled about in this pregnancy, and one of them is the TEST!!!!! I try to explain , but i cant get past his male logic.
Not to worry, if he wants to be a spoil sport, i will do it without him and share with all of you !!!
Back to work for now - i have some catching up to do.......
take care all
klee- will pm u dear. So sorry :(
well good luck with your appointment and let us know how you go
Klee - I am so sorry babe :hug: I hope the wicked witch is kind to you. Have you thought about seeing a fs to help you with your cycles? Thinking of you and sending you a HUGE :hugs:
Jo - go get busy girl!!!! :bd: I have everything crossed for you that this is your month.
Starbright - sending you heaps of positive vibes. I hope those symptoms are the start of something beautiful! :hug: Doesn't your DH know that you are a test junkie and you NEED to test!!! I would test when I knew it was far too early but just couldn't help myself! Good luck babe :pray:
Mel - how are you going babe? Have you tested or resisted the urge? Thinking of you and you sending you heaps of :bluedust:
Hi everyone
A message from Flowerchild
Deb sends all her love, she is abit tired at the moment. Flu has hit her hard.... Her thoughts are with us all......
SB
Hey all,
Well there will be lots of bd'ing (especially as dr told DH to refrain from it until ovulation, he's been waiting for 10 days! LOL!)
But if that dosen't work, DH had his appointment with another Dr today who has referred him/us to a fertility specialist, I can't beleive it was as easy as that, especially after the stuffing around from the other Dr.
Lynn - how are you feeling?
Starbright - who could ever understand male logic???? LOL!
Spring - Hope the appointment goes well!
Klee - hope the wicked witch has paid her last visit for a long time!
hasn't it got busy in here lol
starbright - lmao at your dh's male logic, i'm sure to him it all sounds reasonable in his head! its going to be your month, i've got a funny feeling in my loins its going to be good news (as my dp would say, now that i wrote that it sounds a bit odd)
mel/stalker - i know your out there lol. the loin feelings there for you too hon, the good vibes are rollin'. must be close to testing, or you thurs like starbright?
jo - can just imagine the look of lust in dh's eyes and in his loins (sorry gonna keep going with it). fantastic that he's been referred straight away, if only it had been that easy from the beginning
lynn, spring - good to see you pop in, been reading up on lil spring and hope, so glad to hear they are going well, they'll be here in no time
deb - hope your feeling better soon, hope colleen's resting up well too
Klee - :cryinglaugh::cryinglaugh::cryinglaugh: As you could Imagine, My poor DH is feeling very um..... friendly at the moment :dunno: Can't for the life of me imagine why! LOL!
I shouldn't laugh but he is so patheetic at the moment!
They all are!!! pathetic i mean!
but seriously- jo that is fantastic news!!!! i am so glad that you found a nice doctor. That other quack was a wan#er. I hope this brings you more luck in the future!!!
klee you and your loins girl!! you make me laugh!!!!!
I wish more doctors could understand how heartbreaking all of this is- it is more than just their day jobs, it is our sanity and our dreams that they just brush away as they move on to their next appointment. I had a bad experience with a doctor who didnt care enough and hearing things like what has been happeneing with jo and her dh just re-affirms to me that sometimes there are doctors in this feild that just dont get it. And that is really sad for women and men in our situations. Especially when they get paid so much to be such wan#ers.
sorry bout that, i feel better for it though!!
a quick YIPPEE for all the good doctors out there somewhere!!
let me meet one soon!!!
Hey girls my appointment went really well and should give me my fix until my next appointment.
Klee: all this talk of loins has me in stitches, glad to hear that you sound upbeat. Tell the witch I have my eye on her and if she dares come back next month I am going to kick her butt.
Starbright: Wow you are stronger than me girl resisting the urge to POAS. I tested like mad when I was trying to get a BFP, I even tested when I had AF just in case it was implantation bleeding, I put that one down to a moment of insanity. Well I am sening you every little ounce of :bluedust: I can muster.
Jo: 10 days, I'm surprised he hasn't burst (lol) My DH used to be away for long stretches with the army so much he has had to learn to deal with it. He turns into a animal when he gets home though (lol) Enjoy tonight ;)
Well girls, i am nearly heading home for the day. I have tomorrow off... if there is anything to report, i will make the effort to come in and share... good or bad.
i usually get together with my mum on wednesdays, and if i tell her how close i might be, no doubt she will encourage me to test. without ganging up on DH, we will win!!!!!!!!!
I will test!!!!!
one reason i think i am so set on waiting til i am actually late to test, is subconiously to do with my missed miscarrage- from memory i think i did test early, and then had a missed miscarrage, so i am set on waiting til i am late.:(
WARNING VENTING ABOUT DH
I dont want to do it like behind his back, but he is taking all my fun out of it. he is going to be the same when i want to find out the flavour.... he just gets this sad little boy look and says," cant we do any of it my way?" or "i dont care what sex it is, it doesn't matter, so i dont want to know." if it doesn't matter to him that much then why cant i know????? it does matter to me.... not so much one sex over the other, i just want to know what is inside me. Men just dont understand.
Have a great night everyone (especially jo ;) )
catch up on thursday.
Love to all
My Dh just called and said to say hello to all the baby bellybelly baby people who help put a smile on his wifes face.
Aint that a smack in my face after my little waffle. He is good value! God love him!!
He was calling to let me know dinner will be ready at neighbours time when i am finished on bellybelly. Yummy silverside and cheesy white sauce. i have said it before and i will say it again- i am a lucky woman to have a house bi#ch like him!! ;)
LOL! Starbright! & hello to your DH too!
Spring - glad the appointment went well!
How is everyone else?
morning ladies
starbright - dh must have known you were b*tching bout him, just to make you feel more guilty he even has dinner on the table, what i'd give for that!
hi jo - how you feeling? how friendly is dh today?
spring - fantastic to hear your appointment went well, give lil spring a rub for us
Oh, beleive me, DH is still very friendly this morning! Last time he's allowed to go that long without, he's driving me nuts! LOL!!!
jo - lol, poor dh, bet thats what he's been saying too
Deb/Nat - mel has asked me to post on her behalf, the computers at her work are pretty slow but she basically wants to know whether she should ask to have further bloods done re her anticardiolipin antibody levels. she's been thinking that maybe if the levels arent as low as the OB originally found it might inhibit her ability to conceive and that maybe its something to do with the blood condition. Basically she is just wondering if you can think of anything she hasnt done or tried or any tests she hasnt had.
thanks ladies, mel if your reading I hope thats okay I just put it as you typed it
morning ladies, how are we all this morning?
jo, exhausted i bet! ;)
mel/starbright, waiting with anticipation ...
Still waiting......
Had a little scare yesterday,(TMI) i had a small amount of blood when i wiped once, but nothing since......still feeling crampy tho so i am expecting flood gates to open today. I was stuck at home with no car and no chemist within 5 km so i couldn't get a test- and the one day i am counting on mummy to come and drive me- she decided it was too wet and windy to drive up and see me. :(
I didn't tell her what i wanted to do coz i didn't want to make her feel bad. but i will be making my way to a chemist today and i will be sharing my news soon- just have to do pays and a few things then i should be able to slip away....unless Af shows her face first.
I know that sometimes people have said early preg can feel like AF, and i feel so either way at the moment i am going with that theory. POsitve thinking!!!
For mel- i am taking aspirin already for my ACLA - i had one doctor recomend i start taking it from 12 weeks, but another suggested i should be on it all the time regardless of whether i am pregnant or not- he said blood clots could appear anywhere at anytime, so for my own safety i should take it forever. He also said if i am having trouble getting to 12 weeks (or concieving) that i could go on another drug- called Heperon or something like that- but it is a full on course of meds and we told to wait and see if we mis carry a few times first. How thoughtfull of him- loose a few more babies first and then i might help you some more.
Not sure if that helps at all mel, i will try to call you this arvo and see if i can help anymore. :) Been missing you... HURRY UP PRIMUS!!!!!
Jo hope you are feeling good today!! Keep up the hard work!!!!
I better do some work now, BUT
I"LL BE BACK!!!!
xoxo
starbright - sounds like implantation bleeding, here's hoping!
Starbright - Fingers crossed af stays away!!
Klee - Lets hope all that 'enthusiasim has the desired result! LOL! Now onto the tww!
jo - take a deep breath, now relax, visualise those swimmers catching the egg, yes they are gonna catch it.
starbright - good luck with the testing, lol on the not going to the toilet for fear of af, if only it was as easy as that
Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you all know I am back. I have been laid up with the flu but I am beginning to feel more human.
Starbright - wishing you luck. I hope that you get that :bfp:. I will go through and read what you have all been up to now. :hug:
Jo - here's hoping there is lots of this going on!!! :fertilise:
Starbright - how did you go today with the test? I hope you have some great news for us :pray:
Klee - how are you going? Have you tested? I have everything crossed for you babe :crossfingers:
Auntie M - are you still away???? Where are you?????
Hi girls,
Just a quick question, It will be 4 weeks this sat since i lost my twin girls :-~( Well since my last post i have had a lot of on of bleeding, never completly gone but almost, last week it was very heavy on the thursday fri sat and sun so heavy that the doc sent me to the hospital on the friday. had a scan monday to check for left overs and they siad there is only the tinyest bit left and it would come out on it's own as it has no supply.. however i i'm still very lightly bleeding e.g when i wipe only.. and have been getting a pinching feeling in my right side all day.. What do you think the chances of last week being my monthly and today been o' pain.. desperate to get on with ttc and not sure if i can if i'm even slightly bleeding..
Also i am on anti-b' just in case and iron as my blood test came back low h/globin (9).
Any advise would be great..

howdy everyone! it took me a bit to catch up on everything, but i think i have it now, shew!
Judy- thanks for putting Yeti's name in the sand with the other angels. it means so much to us to have his name honored somewhere besides in our own hearts. good to see you back, whenever you wish to join!
Jo- sounds like you have a good doctor for dh, and maybe some fun last night too! would he be up for a counselor at all? men can be so touchy about those things, but fertility issues so cut to the quick of who we are . . .
Klee- happy late 6 month birthday to Phoebe. hugs to you a little late. what a beautiful saying to hold her close in your hearts. :hug: i'm sorry af came again. maybe the charts can work their magic next cycle (fingers crossed).
Starbright- hugs to you for your angels this past weekend. :hug: any news on the test?
Laura- i've got no medical knowledge at all, so i'm not much help. i did have cramps for 4/5 weeks after Yeti's birth, and the midwife said it was my muscles returning to normal after stretching to hold Yeti. they were just like menstrual cramps.
Lynn- so glad to hear that Hope is doing well!
Spring- I love to hear about lil' spring -- the arrival is so close!! i'm holding my breath for you all.
as for me, our hiking trip was wonderful and rugged and loads less rain than we expected. no bears, but i did see a bull moose up close and personal. fortunately, our dogs saw reason and didn't pester him. i started the trip on such a downer, because i had spotting for the first day and knew af was on her way. then Yeti's 5 month birthday seemed to creep up and grab me to make af's certain arrival so much more painful. but then, each day, af didn't come and the spotting didn't continue. dh asked me to wait as long as possible to test so that the chance of a false negative wouldn't be as high, and we only brought one test along to save on weight. the hiking took my mind off of testing, and on tuesday we got a BFP!! :dance:
i feel so sure that Yeti is close to me now and is happy that he has a little brother or sister who will (!) stay longer with his mom & dad. i'm so happy to be pregnant right now, and i'm just hoping to be able to enjoy that for a bit. i know i can tell you all that i can't imagine that this pregnancy will end with a live baby, but if i can enjoy the pregnancy that i do get and love this little critter, that will be good in itself. i told my dh that, and he said he understands, but that i might not want to tell others, because it sounds a little twisted to folks who have not firsthand experienced the loss of a baby. so there is my lovely news, and it is my hope that each of you will have similar lovely news as soon as possible! love to all :heartbeat:
Auntie M: OMG OMG OMG :happyforyou: :confetti: :dance:
A huge congratulations honey on your :bfp:
Wow, I am so happy for you and DH.
You will bring this baby home.

Honey my deepest sympathy for the loss of your little girls Imogen and Sophie. What wonderful names you have given them. Big :hugs: to you.
It may be possible that you are O'ing but it is also possible that you are still bleeding from birthing your girls. My bleeding continued on and off for about 3 weeks and I didn't get AF back until week 6. It isn't uncommon for the bleeding to get heavy and then light. If you have other signs that you may be O'ing you could try using an Ovulation Prediction Kit (OPK) you can pick them up from the chemist or the supermarket. You can also get them online but it may take a while for them to arrive.
Hope this helps.
Take care sweetie.

thanks, Spring. i so want to think that we will bring this one home. you are very close, Spring, to bringing lil' spring home. i am sending good thoughts across the ocean. love, m
