Kristee - good luck with your results this afternoon. I hope you get the ok to TTC. You will know when you ready to try and when you are, we are all here to support you
Wow you guys have been chatting today so here goes, lets see if I can remember everything.
Lynn: I think sometimes when we feel overwhelmed, we remove ourselves from the situation (not physically but emotionally) so I am not surprised that you felt a bit out of it at your appointment today. I can't blame you, you had a lot to take in. Good luck with the first jab on Saturday, I am sure that you will be fine, you are a brave brave woman. Oh and you are under strict instructions to have a WONDERFUL holiday, that is not negotioable, make sure you give yourself a bit of a break and spoil yourself a little. I will miss you so make sure you post as soon as you get back on Wednesday.
Mel: Sounds like you have a Melbournian buddy in Klee, that is great if you can support eachother at the Sids meetings. I know what you mean about public hospital staff being overworked and underpaid but it is just so sad that people who are really in need care can't afford to be treated now and have to wait around. Oh and smarty pants, you are so sure that Lil Spring has a willy but I know you and I am not going to be tripped up you naughty thing. Don't worry, almost half way to finding out...nice try though.
Kristee: sounds like you are getting the tests that you need. I hope you got good results this arvo. When you get a chance pop in and let us know how you are going.
Klee: You probably won't see this until you are back at work on Tuesday but when to start TTC question is one that comes up often. I had a pretty straightforward vaginal birth ( well in the circumstances anyway) with no tearing, cuts or grazes so DH and I started TTC as soon as my bleeding stopped which was about 4 weeks. To be honest, I don't know how we started so soon but I think the urge to have an earth baby just takes over. So for us it was fairly quick. Everyone is totally different and it takes different amounts of time for your body and cycles to go back to normal. I got AF 6 weeks to the day after losing Harry then had two cycles and fell on the third. If you are having mixed emotions about TTC that is totally normal, I cried so many times because I felt I was dishonering Harry. But that isn't the case, he knows I love him and that he will always bee my first born. Good luck with the decision.
Hindonly: I hope you and your DD had a great day at Crazy Critters, I can't wait to be a mum of an earth baby and do those sort of things. I am glad that you are feeling welcome, we are all here for you so share as little or as much as you feel you want to.
Deb: How are you feeling today? It might be a stupid question but do you continue taking Clomid during the TWW or do you stop after O? I hope that you are feel happy and that the TWW is just flying by.
Well I am looking so forward to this weekend. DH is coming home and it is his B'day on Sunday. I just did the shopping for the weekend and got goodies. We are going out to dinner and a movie on Saturday night and I am making Bacon, Eggs and Hashbrowns for Breaky on Sunday (his favourties) I am also making a double layered chocolate cake with freash whipped cream and Flake chocolate bar sprinkled all over it. Trust me, it is going to be a fat weekend in this house. I just love him so much so I can't wait to spoil him.
Then I have my 19 week scan next Tuesday which is going to have sensational results (see positive thinking) and then I drive to Canberra for Anzac day, I am staying there for two nights and driving back on Thursday so I only have to work two days next week YIPPIE!!! I really feel like I need the break. I can't wait.
Anyway, I haven't even thought about dinner yet so I think it will be an orange and a peanut butter sanger. Just what every pregnant woman needs (not)
To everyone I have missed, sending you huge huggles.
Hey there everyone - I so hate working, I miss out on so much here during the day!
Klee - Wow I didnt realise you were from Melbourne - It would be nice to meet up at the meeting. I dont know why I am nervous, I just am. How have you found the counselling they provide over the phone and the 1 on 1's? I havent had any counselling since I had Nicholas, I did have 2 visits with a psych but they werent helpful (felt like she watched the clock the whole time and billed me $265 for it). I think it will be really helpful to go to these meetings, and to know that you would be there would make is so much easier. Re TCC - Lynn is right, it is such a personal decision and I believe you will know when the time is right for you and your hubbie. You may say no today and wake up tomorrow and think yes, but also you may not wake up for a while saying yes. Personally for me it was immediate, I started TTC as soon as I could (as Lynn said, as soon as bleeding stopped). But then, I am still not pregnant and it has felt like an extremely long journey so far. Maybe sit down and have a long think, and talk with DH, about what you want and how you feel right now and what your heart tells you. Whatever you decide, the time will be right for you if and when you start. If you need time to "heal" a little you should take that time. For me the healing can begin once I have a healthy baby in my arms, however I know others feel they need to take that time to sort through their feelings. The drs I found have differing opinions, some say wait 12 months, others say try straight away. One thing I would like to say to you is that dont let the thoughts enter your head that you are being disloyal to Phoebe if you do want to start sooner rather than later - I only say that because I know each and every one of us here have had those thoughts and I imagine you will as well. All Phoebe would want for you and her daddy is for you to do what you need to do to make you happy, if that happens to be having another baby then that is what she would want. You will never replace her, you will be having your 2nd child - Phoebe will always be your first born
Lynn - Cant believe you are going tomorrow, I will miss reading your posts BUT... I hope you have a really lovely time. As Klee said, take some time for you and have some fun if you can, you deserve it. Hope to speak to you on MSN tonight but if not - travel safely and dont even think about us while your away Oh, and you will be back well and truly before I would get any good news. AF is not due til the Monday after you get back. Good luck with all of your injections, I know it will be tough but you are a tough cookie and will get through it cause you know the outcome - we ALL (incl. Deb) get BFP's in the next few weeks - how awesome would that be!
Deb - We do have irrational thoughts though, like the other week when a lady at work left on maternity leave I thought to myself hmmm dont count your chickens before they're hatched - admittedly it was partly sour grapes but I really do believe you just never know what is waiting around the corner now. I know it is too early for symptoms but I constantly have this feeling that last couple of months that it is going to be a very long road for me - I really hope I am wrong but only time will tell.
Kristee - How were your results? Its well and truly past 4.30 now so spill...
Hindonly - I know what you mean by being ready now, I have had that feeling ever since I was pregnant with Nicholas and I found out 26 Jan last year so its 15 months and counting now... I had a baby, but dont have one iykwim. I hope you get a BFP soon too, I hope we all do!
Spring - Hope they havent worked you too hard today, lil Spring will get really mad at them!
Tommysmum - Hope your doing ok, how are you feeling? Still got m/s? Hope it hasnt gotten any worse.
Hi to everyone else.
Other than my personals I dont have much to say tonight. I made an appointment to have all my hair chopped off (well about 5 inches or so anyway) cause I am sick of being "me" - I need a change!
Your weekend sounds wonderful - you wouldnt mind sending me down a slice of that cake would ya? YUUUUUUUUM! Do you know what movie you are going to see? There are a few good ones coming out in the near future - Absolutely cannot wait for the Simpsons Movie (see big kid I tell ya).
Peanut butter sandwiches are ok - especially combined with fruit! So enjoy
