Kirsty : babe, a BFP is wonderful news.. Congratulations on graduating from the TTC club. I hope you have a H&H pregnancy and that you have a wonderful little Christmas surprise.
TommysMum: Babe, what you are feeling is totally normal. The yearn for Tommy will not fade just because you have a BFP, if anything, it only gets stronger because you begin to pass the same milestones such as your first scan, and every step reminds you of your little boy. I have found it to be a time of mixed emotions. Grieving for one child whilst trying to get excited about another child is just so confusing. It will begin to sink in babe, I hope that that BFP only gets darker and darker as the days pass. In some way I found it easier to grieve for Harry once I fell pregnant, I guess I had a reason to go on, a bit dramatic I know, but I felt like I had to pull myself together for the little baby inside me. I talk to Harry every day and ask him to look out for me and his little brother/sister. I know he is taking care of me so that makes me feel safe. It will be ok honey, those feelings of guilt will fade, you are not dishonoring Tommy by having another child, he would want his mummy and daddy to be happy :hugs:
Mel: How are you feeling hun? A cold is no fun at all. I hope you are on the mend. I prescribe an insane amount of Chocolate as the cure (lol) do you think you could handle that? Best of luck for getting the loan for the house, if you could email me the plans also I would love to have a look. I find playing around with designs to be so much fun. PS, thanks for your sweet message on Friday.
Flowerchild: I am glad you had a nice break. An Easter Egg hunt.. How much fun must that have been! Having tonsillitis is no fun though, I hope you are on the mend also. Good luck with your scan tomorrow, I am sending you some huge positive vibes your way.
Lynn: How has your Easter been? I hope it has been ok. That you for your sweet text on Friday, it means a lot to me. Have you started the injections yet? I am not really sure how it all works but I know you were waiting on AF to arrive. I hope that the injections are just the thing that you need to get ovulating and that you can have your magical BFP soon.
Chelle: I agree with Tommysmum, CD 33 and No AF, test babe!!! It can't hurt. I hope you get a wonderful surprise. Kick those kids off the computer and make sure you tell us ASAP.
Bailey: I don't know if you have had a chance to log on to the net over there but if you do I just want to say that I hope you are having a sensational time. Enjoy yourself babe, you really deserve it. If AF hasn't shown up yet, then I hope you can get your hands on a dodgy barrrrrrley HPT and test. I can't wait to hear all about your honeymoon, well not ALL about it IYKWIM
Nat: boy you get wifey of the year award, meringe baskets and banana cake, mmmm yum. I hope you and your DH and DS had a wonderful Easter break.
Klee: Thanks for your post about Harry's birthday, I hope you are doing ok. As I have said before, just take it day by day, moment by moment, that is all you need to worry about now.
Well after my major cyber-vent about my MIL I am feeling a bit better. Told mum about it today and she said that my MIL has psychological problems, there is a long history with my MIL that I won't bore you with, but she isn't a rational person who can be reasoned with. DH and I have agreed that she is not worth getting upset or angry about. I won't stop her from being involved in her grandchilds lifes, but I also wont be going out of my way to include her in our family. My mum and dad are such wonderful caring people, that I want my children to grow up in that sort of environment, not an emotionally charged, irrational angry environment.
I am feeling a little bit down that I haven't really felt movements yet, but with Harry it wasn't until 20 weeks that I was sure that I could feel him move. I just hope it happens earlier this time. Anyway, I have another crazy woman scan this Friday so I get to see Lil' Spring then.
I hope you are all well. I am going to stalk BB for the rest of the afternoon so hope to catch up on all you gals.
Tommysmum - congratulations! That is fantastic news. I can only imagine the feelings you have right now but I am sure they are all normal. Everything Spring and Flowerchild have said is spot on.
Flowerchild - It sounds like you had a great weekend away. Hopefully nice and relaxing so that your body is ready for the big month ahead because it is your month! I hope your scan goes well and there are lots of beautiful follies. Sending you heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps and heaps of good vibes. I hope your tonsillitits is a little better.
Spring - Wow! Where to start with your MIL. I am just so sorry that you have to deal with this. It is not something that you should have to worry about on top of grieving the loss of Harrison and growing a healthy bubba. I think Mel said it perfectly. I just can't believe that she thinks she has done nothing wrong and that not speaking to you for 6 months is ok!!!!! Unfortunately you can't pick your in-laws!
Say hi to lil Spring when you see him on Friday. Do you have the whole day off?
Nat - hope you had a good Easter weekend. No doubt you were very busy. How have you been?
Mel - hope you are feeling a little bit better today. Did you spoil yourself with chocolate??? You should, you deserve it. How did the meeting with the builder go today?
I hope everyone else had a good weekend.
Well no AF here! I know this is a TTC thread..........but I just want the witch to arrive!!!! This feels like deja vu - I was waiting for AF to arrive last month because my body did nothing. I can't start this month if she doesn't arrive. She is so annoying. Comes when we don't want her and doesn't come when we do want her It is just a waiting game. I am getting a bit frustrated to be honest. I just hope that this month works because I haven't even started the injections but I don't want to be doing it for month after month. I think I am doing as much as I can - I have the moonstone and rose quartz under my pillow (thanks Deb) and I have another rose quartz on my bedside table with a beautiful pair of booties (thanks Michelle) and some babydust (not sure where that came from!) and I'm doing acupuncture and meds................if there is anything else I should be doing, please let me know! (besides being put in a straight jacket LOL!!) Obviously a lot of this when the time is right (gotta love it - haven't used it in a while!) I just need to be really positive that my body will finally do what it is supposed to do and that it responds well to the injections.
Tommysmum - CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am sure what you are feeling is pretty normal, but Spring is right - Tommy would want his mummy and daddy to be happy and he will know that this is the only way happiness can even begin to return to your lives.
Spring - I am feeling a little better today, and yes I have eaten an unbelievable amount of choccie - I feel a little sick now Good decision about your MIL, it is hard to stop contact as I guess she is your childrens family but definitely let her do the hard work. Dont worry about feeling a little down, that last few days have been full on with worry and I am sure Harry's 6 month birthday has left you a little worse for wear. You will start feeling lil Spring soon, although it wont take your worries away (if anything maybe make you stress more - mind you isnt that what motherhood is anyway - worrying?) it will be another step closer to meeting your bub in person, I cannot believe how time is flying. My life seems to be dragging severely but everytime I look at your ticker I realise its flying by. I will email you the plans of the house by the way.
Lynn - Went ok at the builder, my Mum came with us to have a look at the house and she thought it was beautiful. They gave us costs and said their promotions change all the time so it may vary slightly when we sign up so we asked her to give us the absolute maximum price we would be looking at with all of the inclusion we want and we were reasonably happy. The lady said they cant put any paperwork through until the land is titled and because DHs work hasnt finished designing it as yet it could be a few months but that is ok we can wait. Now all we need is to meet with the guy who owns all the land (a "friend" of DHs boss) and try to work out a price for our block, although they have our chosen one on hold for us until we make a decision. Did you end up being able to view the house in the end? I know when we chatted the other night you said you couldnt view it but I cant remember if you ended up seeing it or not - my mind is awful huh! I am sorry that AF hasnt shown as yet, I am sure she will soon but I can imagine how frustrating it is. Do you have any symptoms that give you a feeling she may be on her way? Any bloating or anything? It is so true that when we dont want her she rears her ugly head but when we do she takes her jolly old time... B!#@H!
Deb - So glad to hear you had a great weekend and a lovely easter. I love an easter egg hunt, usually there are no eggs for me though which makes me sad but it is funny watching how excited kids get. Last year my nephew did one at my parents house and he had this bob the builder tin and he would find the eggs and put them in and when he wasnt looking one of us would take a few out and put them around the backyard again, he got so excited when he found more and had no idea what we were doing - it was the longest easter hunt ever but so much fun. Good luck for your follie scan, let us know how you go. I hope you see some beauties!
Chelle - How are you going? Have you tested?
Bailey - Hope you are having a ball and relaxing in the sun. Same question for you - have you tested?
Hi to everyone else.
Well not much to report for me, but was reading through the threads and found one on something called Ovulex which is for female infertility - but I was googling (as you do ) and found a remedy called Amberoz which is apparently for male infertility. Does anyone know anything about this? Deb thought you might have some info. It says it increases male fertility and sperm count, well DH doesnt have a low sperm count but poor quality sperm so I was wondering if anyone know if this would help make his swimmers more healthy? God, since we got those results I spend every night online trying to do research, I am such a nutcase.
Oh well, post is long enough so I'll be off now
Mel
