anna, can gps priscribe clomid if i have no luck in the next few months im thinking clomid, but last time i was on it, the speliast prescribed it, didnt know you could get it from a gp?

vix, everything is crossed for you, do a test!

[Anna**]

Neither did I Chrissy, but yes as I found out today, a GP can prescribe it... I think it is just that they normally prefer to refer you to a specialist in fertility first to check things out. I'm lucky in that my GP is an ex-OB/GYN so knows a bit about fertility stuff.

Rikki - I know, I know.... lets' just cross everything that I don't end up with twins! My GP assures me that there is only a 5-10% chance, more likely 5%.

Maz - How are you doing today after yesterdays' news?

Vix - Any sign of AF???

How reliable are Pregnow tests girls? Chrissy was kind enough to send me some a while back, I've nearly used them all... should I buy more or are there other cheapy brands that are better?

[maz]

Oh Anna heheheheh your naughty getting clomid..I hope you fall pg really quickly matie and thanks so much for the chat yesterday, I really needed it.
Hello everyone!
Im sorry if I came across all selfish yesterday about this baby being a boy and not a girl. I am sorry if I offended anyone in any way. Im just really upset cause if I have a boy, he has a high chanch of having autisum as Wilhelm has it and unless you have a child with a disability I guess you cant really relate. So again I am sorry if I offended any one. I am very happy that my baby seems healthy but there's been an itch at me that something wasnt right with this baby since the start... I had the same itch with Wilhelm. Its just me and I have to come to terms with it.
I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your support girls...I really do

[Boo Boo]

Hey all,

love that photo of Vy - you didn't come across as being selfish Maz at all, if you can't tell us how you feel then who can you tell???? And, it is very understandable with Wilhem having autism that you feel this way, but this little bubba will be as healthy as anything, you gotta believe it!!!

We had a bad night, Rylee's temp was up and down all night and I am going to the doctors again shortly, the dr yesterday couldn't really say what she had - the usual - viral infection - so I have to take a wee sample and test for a utd....she is very clingy and miserable and I have a headache but we will get through this with the help of a few strong coffees (for me that is).

Anna - wtg - good luck - we look forward to hearing your good news!!!!

Hi to everyone else, sorry this is a bit of a me post. Helen, don't be gone too long. Shell - how is Ash's cough - any better today??? Rikki - how is Ainsleigh? Rach - how did the under 5's day gone - lots of fun?

BBL
Laurin

Nessa - why are you sad hun?

[Cougar]

anna google lulaby conceptions, lots of girls in the TTC threads swear by them, also they have cheapie ones but good ones, i got some last month, but there was no need to use them, but also some girls, get -ve on some brands when others give them +ve.

maz, i wasnt affended.........god i cant spell atm

[ShootingStar]

Maz.. i wasnt offended either.. im going to be swaying for a girl so i know what you mean.. but im sure everything will be fine.

Anna**.. best of luck with the clomid!!

[rikki]

i wasn't offended either maz, we all understand your reasons and know that you are going to love your little bundle no matter what flavour it is....
i am coming down with a bit of a head cold so my brain is dead, i can never remember what anyone wrote....
there are a few girls MIA lately.... nelle, belle, ambz and anyone else i've missed... hope you are all just being lurkers like rach (nothing wrong with having a lurk when you need to, i'm famous for it!)

[caddie]

Im pretty open minded no offence taken here either.Im just hoping that things will be right for you maz.
Me,scrapbooking galore! I went out last night and hubby babysat then i will be going out for tea friday with some girlfriends then another scrap night on Sat night! Im so lucky, and hubby was glad to let me go.Its good fun and i like having a outlet to create!
Girls are good,millana still being toilet trained but only a couple of accidents here and there and ruby getting another tooth. Cant believe shes one soon.Its funny but i noticed her tanty's too.She lies on the ground and will put her head on her hands and pretend cry then look up to see whether im watching.Too cute.haha.

[Anna**]

Maz - You know you haven't offended me, especially after our chat on the phone. I'd be the same ('cept the reverse cos I want a boy). Besides, we all know how much you'll love your new bubba regardless of what bits it's got. Doesn't help the disappointment for you right now though - we're all here for you to support you hon.

Nessa - Hmmm 'blessed' maybe wouldn't be the word I'd use if I got twins!!!!!!

Caddie - Woo hoo that Millana is nearly TT'd

Chrissy - I've seen the tests at Lullaby, they're a good price (on special at the moment too!). Geeee... I wonder how good these Pregnow ones are? Maybe it's telling me fibs? (better not get my hopes up there.)

[**Helen**]

oooooh Anna goodluck.

Love

[Visitor7]

Maz - You definitely haven't offended me. I can completely understand your reasoning for wanting another girl. And we all know that if you end up with another boy than it won't be loved any less than your other children. You're just worried about the health of bubby that's all. Have you thought about getting another ultrasound?
How is your mum going?

anna** - best of luck with testing. I hope AF stays away and you get a real soon.

caddie - lol that's exactly what Nina does with her tanty's!! It's driving me crazy! Everyone warned me about the 'terrible 2's', but not about the tanty's at 12 months!
And thank you very much for Nina's birthday card. It arrived today. It was such a lovely thought.
That's great news about Millana's tt. And even better news that you can have time to yourself! I find scrapbooking so relaxing.

Laurin - I hope Rylee is ok. Let us know when you get her results back.

kel - are you sure you're not UTD? Heath and I are being so careful not to fall pg in this crucial 3 months, but a secret between us ... AF hasn't arrived for me for a while either ...

Well good and bad news here.
Good news, we can still go away next weekend Our babysitter lives around the corner, so between her and mum, they'll look after Nina. Mum can't do much for 6 weeks while she recovers from surgery.
Talking of surgery, found out that she needed a blood transfusion (sp?) during surgery as she lost a fair bit of blood, and the ct scan hadn't shown most of the cysts that she had, hence why she had both ovaries removed.
Bad news, she won't be discharged until Monday, and Nina's b'day party is this Saturday. We can't really postpone it either as we have too many things on for the next couple of weeks. I'm really upset that mum can't be there. I told her we'd see about postponing it, but that was before we realised how much stuff we have on in the next month. So now she has her hopes up. She's such a big part of Nina's life, that I'm devastated about it. What do I do? The earliest we could have the party is the last weekend in September. And we can't cancel any of our other engagements either.

Sorry, no more personals, dinner is calling me. I'm working 3 days a week now as I've got a new job. Same workplace, but different job. It's a better job too. I'll be working Wednesday, Thursday & Friday's. So very tired ATM.

[shellbell3]

Jodi- Let me know how you go doing that extra day. I'm still doing 2 days ATM but down the track will be thinking of increasing. Maybe with your mum you could have her over after she is discharged and just have a small dinner and cake or something for her own celebration with Nina? We have similar prob, IL's are going to be away when we have Ash's party and we couldn't do any other weekend so we're just gonna have them over on her actual b'day for dinner and cake.

Anna- Good luck with the Clomid, maybe you'll end up with 6 like that show I been watching on Foxtel, no I better not tell you stories like that! I'm not usre exactly what she was on though.

Caddie- Sounds like you having a good week, be nice to have a break and do something just for you that you enjoy. I'm actually finding myself enjoy going to work I find that is kind of a break for me.

Laurin- How is Rylee? I hate when they are sick, has her temp come down? If its viral it shouldn't stay up for long.

Maz- You didn't come across selfish at all, you have good reasons and I know most people are often hoping for one sex over another.

Yum I just polished off KFC, found myself starving after work so had to drive thru on the way home, the sign was calling me in!

Ash must be better cause she actually slept today without any screaming. Thank god too, I was stressing how the IL's would handle it! maybe she just wants to scream for me. I put eucalyptus in an oil burner and just turned blew out the candle when I went to bed. I think it really helped. I should've done that for myself when I had it.

[Nelle]

Hi guys. I'm okay here, just had such a busy week/weekend, my nan died the same day as Anna's (sorry to hear mate), and she was quite the matriarch, so my close and massive family kept me busy, and River had some spewy bug, and I forgot I'd booked an IKEA trip with my best mate (which was fun til we realised we had no way of getting everything home, put a pregnant lady and a scatterbrain together and what do you get - home delivery! Thank goodness for that) and I've just been getting through each day, and then falling asleep reading your posts in bed. Oh yeah, and I've felt nauseous most of the time on top of that. So I'm okay, thanks for missing me you sweet things you, I'll try to post, but honestly, I can't be stuffed. I smile and laugh and frown and feel sympathy in all the right spots when I'm reading, cos I care, but I fall asleep (or need to pee) at the end. Sorry. I'll try though.

I'm going to miss so much. But here's what's on the top of my head.

Jodi, can you just videotape/photograph heaps of the party, and have a 'party' at the hospital with your mum too? You can tell your mum she plays such a special part in Nina's life that they get their own private party. Better than nothing. Will the hospital let her out for 2 hours? Once again, better than nothing.

All the best with the clomid Anna, hopefully you fall fast and don't get too hormonally whacko. Remember with twins, I've got a mate who had her bub same day as you, and he's a high maintenance kid too, the thought of another soon is a bit scary for her, while the thought of more for me with a low maintenance kid isn't daunting at all...what I'm trying to say is, if you have twins, they might be really calm and mellow and awesome sleepers, all kids are different, and if you end up with twinnies, you'll deal with it hey. Hoping for one with you though!

Caddie, you'll be so relaxed with all that time off you won't know yourself! That's great that you can take some time out!

Hugs Helen, hope all goes well with the new carpet.

Congrats on a healthy bub Maz. Can you get what the chances are of another autistic boy from a specialist or something? Like if someone says 'moderate' chance I think 'oh no!' but when I realise that might mean only 20% or something it seems better...am I making sense? Hope that niggling isn't something wrong, and is just gas. Are you gassy? I'm so gassy.

Well...I'm running out of steam. (Although not farts, as I've just shared with Maz)

Oh, my parents know too, I've been too sick to hide it. It's been good, cos mum's been able to watch Riv some days, which they both love.

When's your scan Annat? I haven't missed it have I?

Hope everyone else is well. xo

[Rach75]

Rach my hubby's father has just bought a fram at agnes`waters,40acres.Looks nice.You go there dont you?

we have 4 acres there, beautiful spot great fishing

Well.. my AF was due 3 days ago. No no dont get too excited.. im not UTD.

mine is late too I refuse to think about testing I hate so shall leave it till after weekend and if she hasn't shown then go buy a test

Kellxx - My AF has gone AWOL as well I'm not UTD either (I tested a couple of days ago). Weird.

Sorry I've been off air a bit, just lots to deal with etc at the moment.

Xander had his 12 months jabs today. 3 needles is just mean. He seems ok now though after a dose of panadol.

Oh, and my GP prescribed me Clomid.

same message as above re AF

:hugs: for Xander so not looking forward to that in a month and for clomid I wonder if my dr will give me some I have seen my RE saw him in Nov and he said come back when I was ready to see him again for clomid but is 2 hr drive to see him

We had a bad night, Rylee's temp was up and down all night and I am going to the doctors again shortly, the dr yesterday couldn't really say what she had - the usual - viral infection - so I have to take a wee sample and test for a utd....she is very clingy and miserable and I have a headache but we will get through this with the help of a few strong coffees (for me that is).

Rach - how did the under 5's day gone - lots of fun?

gosh I hope Rylee gets better soon

unders 5's day was ok bit caotic I think next year will be better when jack is on the move and doing things was lots of craft stuff

Bad news, she won't be discharged until Monday, and Nina's b'day party is this Saturday. We can't really postpone it either as we have too many things on for the next couple of weeks. I'm really upset that mum can't be there.

:hugs: for your mum not making it, mabe you can have a little party when she is better with her and Nina

ok so have you all fainted now I posted big time

having a great day got the house tidied before brendan got dropped off at 8am just a little washing to do and will revac floor when he goes home, oh also have to make beds for IL's but house looks IL worthy LOL

[Vixstar]

Maz - no offence. I understand where you are coming from. Don't let the worry consume you though, pregnancy is a beautiful event.

Nelle - sorry to hear about you Nan.

Okay, brain has failed and I don't know what anyone wrote.


mmmm, did hpt. First one was inconclusive, I think I was still half asleep trying to pee on the stick! Second one has a faint line...they say a line is a line and a faint one is still a line. Have not told Rick but rang my gf.....who wasn't home...bugga! Think I might buy another test......or two. LOL

Gotto run, Bails is attacking our birdies. xxx to all.

[Rach75]

*fingers crossed* for a nice dark

[Freya]

Vix a line is a line chick, esp when your AF is MIA, as long as it came up within 10min of peeing on it Try buying a Confirm HPT, they always gave me the darkest most positive lines you can get even if AF wasnt due yet! Good luck!

As for all you other MIA-AF-ers, test will you! I dont know how you havent or havent tested a bazillion times by now, I would have used up all the HPTs in the world (and nearly did with this baby). Oh we're having a baby explosion I bet!

Anna, Im sure the clomid will give you ONE healthy bub like it did me! How many mgs are you taking a cycle? I hope your already preggo and dont need to use it afterall.

Im sick. After wiping J's runny nose for a week now I have to wipe my own. Im sick of tissues and snot. BUT he's at Kindy today (he always picks K-Day to sleep in the little bugger) and I have my 19wk appointment at 11:40. Im hoping he'll scan and give me another peek between the legs seeing as I have to part with $1200 today Then its off to lunch with a girlfriend who's kids are with J at kindy. Maybe some shopping if I find out the flavour.

Need to go eat my croissant and shower/blow dry my hair (OMG can you imagine, a shower with no child in, out of or nearby it!)

BBL to update
