Spring - What a day you have had... I am glad you finally got it sorted and now you have "come out" to everyone. I can imagine how excited your family is. The MIL situation was a tricky one, but I agree you cant really argue with his point huh, as much as you wish she would fall off the face of the earth. How is your belly going anyway? Do you think you will be able to hide it from work much longer?
Lynn - Sorry about your BT, but hopefully Wednesday will be a totally different story. We have already spoken about your MIL, but everyone is right she did cross some boundaries there. Hope your accupuncture went ok, some people say it hurts but I personally didnt think it did when I had it.
Deb - Your MIL sounds delightful! Lynn is right, you and anyone else is entitled to have as many or as few children as they like. She is not the one taking care of them or supporting them so what is it to her? DH has 3 to his ex wife and we would like a couple together, and then if you include Nicholas he will eventually be a father of 6! Some may say that is alot but we dont care, each to their own I say. How can anyone think anything negative of a new little bubba in the world?
Nat - Glad to hear your family is doing ok Its probably been a rough week (or 2 or 3) so no wonder your stuffed.
Bailey - Hope you enjoyed Nathan's site... It is so wrong that his record didnt reach #1
Not much happening on my end, kids are being really good this weekend and so far I have done a really good job being patient with them so I am quite proud of myself. We got them into bed early tonight cause we have a big day tomorrow. Its my dads birthday so we are going to meet up with my family at Fairy Park near Geelong so they are pretty excited.
Well today is meant to be "O" day and I happened to find 1 OPK left even though I though I had used all and I got a positive (YAY! If only it was a HPT) so... please please please - I dont know what I will do if it doesnt work this month!
On a different note, I saw my GP today for a different thing but he got onto the subject of TTC and asked where we were at so I said well today is CD14 and he started to give me all this advice on the best "positions" and how I need to make sure I stay laying down afterwards... LOL I nearly died, I felt so embarrassed. I know he meant well, but I just felt weird getting sex advice from my GP. Its not like I asked him or anything... and besides I have done all that research online already, hehe!
Anyway, wish us luck - to all either at or coming up to "O" time.
Firstly Mel on a positive OPK!!!!!! It is helpful to stay prone for as long as possible to give those swimmers the best chance of getting promptly to their destination! Some women just prop up their buttocks a bit - you can use a pillow or even just your fists under your hips for 10 -15mins. It helps to get the "goodstuff" up on your cervix. Keep DTD for the next couple of nights. Most women will ovulate between 12-24 hours after they surge however sometimes it can be up to 48 hours after. I am hoping and praying that this is your month too Mel... Wouldn't it be lovely if we both hit the mark this month and could journey the pregnancy trail together. I hope you have a lovely time today for your Dad's birthday.
Bailey - is it nearing o time for you too???
Lynn - I am hoping that this is your month too - wouldn't it be lovely to see 4 in here in the next few weeks? Are you having a follie scan on Wednesday (that would be cd13 wouldn't it?)? I am sending all of the "ripe follicle" and "healthy eggs meeting healthy sperm" vibes that I can muster...
Spring, Hi to you and Lil Spring. As I type away here all of you Sydney girls will be meeting for lunch - I hope you all have a lovely time...
Well, yesterday I had soooo much pelvic congestion with lots of ovulatory type pains on both the left and right sides. I felt incredibly uncomfortable. Today I have none of that so I am assuming ovulation occured last night. Of course we have been getting jiggy with it so all we can do now is hope and pray that we caught those eggs!!!! We are spending the day in the garden - next weekend is my Evie's 3rd birthday so we are sprucing things up a bit! It's beautiful weather here and I must get back to it...
Mel - It is criminal that nathan has not yet got to number one, but I think with you and I now on his fan base, we can spread the word and he should go triple platinum by christmas. Actually I might buy you the cd so you and your DH can set the mood for your BD'g tonight.... Yay on the + opk. This will be your month, I am sure.
Lotsa to you!
Flowerchild - Hoping his guys caught your guys! Lotsa to you too!
Dream, Spring and Lynn - You lot have probably heard enough from me for today, so I'll come back in later!
Mel - you haven't been in here for a while so I hope that means you have been busy Lots of positive thinking! I do the pillow thing under the butt after DTD, hasn't worked so far but this month it will Sending you heaps and heaps of Hope you had a nice day today for your dad's birthday.
Deb - I so much that you caught that eggie.I hope you enjoyed the day in the garden.
What about the biggest loser!!! That is not fair that my 2 favourite teams are in the bottom 2! I love this show - it gives me motivation. I want to lose 9kg in a week like Munnalita did - I am so motivated this week.......................I think I need to be after what I ate today
Lynn - Me and D-almost-H have been very upset with the Biggest Loser. They are my fave teams too, I so wanted Munnalita to get the boot. She is a pain. Though 9 kilo's!! How the hell can you lose 9 kilos in a week? I wonder who will go. Monotone Laura let the team down again, and she still showed no emotion. Well, I think that is enough *****ing from me for now.
Chelle & Jo - Welcome to our little group, it is sad that you have to be here but you will gain alot of support and, as Bailey said, I hope you graduate really soon.
Bailey - No it didnt get me in the mood... I have been waiting at the mailbox for the CD you were sending, hehe! CD14, your getting closer! Too funny on the censoring, nice one I am proud! LOL
Deb - Its a waiting game for both of us now, I hate this time. As you all already know I am the most impatient person on earth and I am not even past the (hehe) stage yet and already want to test... I am refraining though cause I reckon DH would get me locked up if I did! It would be so nice if we could all graduate this month.
Lynn - How are you feeling? I am at work this week. I was so bummed that I couldnt sleep in this morning, although it was probably good for me not to be sitting around the house crying as I have been lately.
Spring - I feel so out of the loop on all of this BL stuff, I dont watch it so have no idea who all of these people are... damn Foxtel! Have you heard anything from MIL or is she behaving herself so far? Hope your sick belly is gone, I would be only too happy to catch your sickness
Nat - I assume from the other girls posts that your Grandma's funeral was this morning - to you, I hope you are all ok. Probably totally emotionally and physically exhausted.
Well yesterday was a nice day, very tiring and I as soon as the kids got picked up I fell asleep on the couch for 2 hours! Got sunburt (will I ever learn?) so pretty much with all the freckles I have been getting lately technically we could call it a tan LOL.
I started work at my 2 month temp job today, everyone was really nice to me and at the end of the day the supervisor asked me if I was interested in permanent work, geez I have only been there a day! But I said no. Just my luck though, a lady walked in and said "can I have everyones attention please, so and so (cant remember the girls name) has an announcement to make" and then this girl says "Oh I am pregnant, and I cant keep it a secret anymore cause I am starting to show"... Well do you think I didnt want to get up and punch her in the nose! I kept thinking why did she pick today to make her announcement, why couldnt she have done it last week when I wasnt there? Anyway, I managed to control my emotions and just sat there tapping away on my computer and trying to ignore everyone gushing over her. A lady did ask me if I had any little ones and I just said no, it is easier that way I think.
Enough of that, you girls sound like you caught up on Sunday and had a lovely day... I am so envious, I will definitely have to talk DH into a weekend away in Sydney some time soon - I am pretty sure he wouldnt mind if we went away and I ditched him for you gals LOL.
Hi to anyone I have missed.
Take care all,
Mel

Hey Bailey: I think the more you reflect on the things we did in the lead up to losing Asha and Harrison, there are two many simularities between what we did and said for it to be a coincidence. The same feeling of dread just can't be ignored, as mothers, we need to learn to trust our instincts.
Mel: MIL has steered clear of me thank God. I am sorry about the announcement at work today, but you should have been proud of yourself for holding it together. I hope you enjoy the next few months there.
OMG!! I can't believe Greg and Mel are out of BL!!! Nooooooooo. I am going to miss them. But did you see how much weight they have lost since they have left? My god, if that isn't motivation, I don't know what is. I have done 2 big walks today so I feel ok. Tennis was called off.....again! Stupid rain, shouldn't complain should I, we do need the rain.
Bailey - yeah Wed for the next BT. Hopefully some good news will come out of that. What time is the support group on? Is it at Rozelle?
Spring - glad you got the card. I just had to send you one now that you are out and proud! I hope you are feeling a bit better today.
Mel - LMAO at your tan! That is too funny. I'm sorry about the announcement at work. It is everywhere isn't it! (except here ) Every tv show and every ad has a baby or preg person - has it always been like that or are they just being cruel all of a sudden! That would be awesome if you came to Sydney for our next catch up. Bailey is the event co-ordinator for the next catch up.
Nat - still thinking of you
Deb - hope you are starting to cook a little eggie
Chelle - I am so sorry for your loss. I hope your journey is very short here. We are planning on graduating by the end of March, so it sounds as thought you may be joining us. Hope you catch the eggie very soon
I forgot to mention in my previous post. DH and I have been having a few "discussions" lately about Cooper's ashes. As you know he is at home with us at the moment but we have a garden for him at the crematorium. Well DH thinks he should go up there but I am just not ready to let my little boy go. DH wants to lay him to rest, which I totally understand and want to do as well. I explained to DH that I still go into his room every day and hold him, and kiss him and talk to him and if he goes in his garden I won't be able to hold him again (only in my heart and dreams). I told DH that my empty arms ache so much that I just need to hold him now and that perhaps when our next bubba comes along, Cooper can 'meet' them and then our next bubba can help us lay Cooper to rest. He has agreed to this.
So today I took Cooper to the crematorium because he was in a temporary urn and I wanted him to be put in his bronze urn which has a plaque on it. I was going to wait until my mum was home tomorrow but now that DH and I decided we would put him in his bronze urn I just couldn't wait another day. It was hard going by myself but I know that Cooper would be proud of how strong I was. I even showed him his garden.
So my boy is home, in his perfect little urn and maybe I can stop crying and stressing for a bit as to when he will be going into his garden and can enjoy our time together at home
Goodmorning everyone,
Trusting that the Sydney women had a nice catch up yesterday.
Mel - hoping that you are baby dancing away and that you catch that egg this month vibes to you my love!
Bailey: thanks for the vibes and babydust - let's hope it works for us all this month.
Lynn: It will work this month - are you having a follie scan on Wednesday?
Spring: How are you and LIl Spring???? Hoping you feel great after spreading your news.
Yes, we had a lovely day yesterday - hard work but lovely! I we caught our eggs - now we just have to wait and see. I don't like the waiting bit much!!! I will have my progesterone levels taken next Monday. We don't have a pathology clinic open up here on the weekends so I won't get it done until cd8-9. That's okay it will give us the picture!
Congratulations on feeling that you can embark on this next journey. I know you will get lots of loving support from all of the gorgeous women in here...
Deb - woohoo on catching the egg. I hope that everything goes well next Monday
Yes we had a wonderful day yesterday. We can talk! I'm suprised they didn't kick us out of the restaurant. I'm not sure if they are doing on a scan on Wednesday. They didn't say. I will ask when I get there. there is something going on down there!
Bailey - you naughty girl - being censored!!!!
Mel - what are you up to this week? Are you working? I can't remember when you said that you start your job.
Nat - I was thinking of you today at 10am. I hope the service went as well as can be expected. May your Grandma rest in peace with her hubby and all our precious angels.
Jo - welcome. I hope that you find this journey short and sweet. You will find loads of support from these wonderful women.
Jlk - Welcome to TTC, I hope you graduate from here really quickly.
Flowerchild - Fingers crossed for you. Hopefully all that BD'ing will pay off for you this month. We all keep sating that this will be a good month for us all.
Mel - How are you going? Did thinking of Nathan get you in the mood for BD'ing? Sorry, couldn't help it.
Spring - How are you feeling? Still full from yeaterday? I will come back and post later when my household is not so chaotic, cos I have been thinking alot about something you said yesterday that was so close to what I have been thinking.
Lynn - When are your next BT's? It's wednesday isn't it? I just wanted to see if you felt like soming along to that support group, it is wednesday. I am going to go.
Dream - How are you doing today?
Hello to everyone else....I don;t think I missed anyone.
Hi all, I think Im ready to take part again as well... Its been a long road,(as I know it has for everyone of you beautiful woman) and I have felt so let down by my body! Im at cd13, feel alot like you deb, pains have been full on, and been lasting awhile, so hopeing 'O' day is cd14. Have only one OPK left, hope its positive tomorrow.
Hope I can keep up with everything that is going on, hopefully there will be a load of BFP in the next few weeks!!!!
Firstly Chelle and JLK I am so sorry for the loss of your darling little angles and I want to welcome you with open arms to our little group. Don't worry, we will take really good care of you but I hope more than anything that you graduate soon. Huge to you both.
Lynn: You are too cute, I got your card when I got home this arvo and I had a big smile on my face. It is now taking pride of place on our fridge.
Bailey: You are a rebel, the first person in the TTC thread to be sensored I think. And that sort of language from the Bride to be... Tsk Tsk. I hope whatever I said yesterday didn't upset you. I'll pop in later and see so we can chat a bit more.
Nat: Now that we have met I think I should call you Nat. like Lynn, I wanted to let you know that you have been in my thoughts and I hope that your Nan is now at peace with her Hubby. Big :hugs:
Flowerchild: I hate waiting to, but by the sounds of it, you did everything you could to catch that eggie Sending all the vibes I can muster.
I am doing ok, I had the sickest belly yesterday after over indulging with the lovely Sydney group. We can talk, almost 5 hours but I could have kept going for 5 more. Thanks to each of you for yesterday, you truly are gems.
To all you other spunk rats, I am going to cook some food and watch the BL. I don't think I am ready for the elimination. Greg is my favourite and Damien comes a close second so either way, it isn't happy days. I agree, Munnalita gets on my nerves, but you must admit, her and Courtney are interesting to watch.
Spring - No, no nothing you said upset me, it was just about the timing thing, about when our babies left us and how maybe they saved us from even more heartache (if that is at all possible) It was just exactly how I have felt and it was nice to hear that you thought the same way. I always think that everything that I feel is wrong or warped or just plain mad, so it was very validating (that word is very Oprah I know) I will come back on later and chat, I am trying, in vain, to get the monster to sleep.
Its probably been a rough week (or 2 or 3) so no wonder your stuffed.
- I dont know what I will do if it doesnt work this month!

Yay on the + opk. This will be your month, I am sure.
Lots of positive thinking! I do the pillow thing under the butt after DTD, hasn't worked so far but this month it will 
CD14, your getting closer! Too funny on the censoring, nice one I am proud! LOL

Sorry, couldn't help it.
