Hey all

Sorry to hear everyone is having a difficult time atm!

I am trying my damnest to stay positive in many ways and keeping away from this thread has been one of those ways so I appologise for being absent! \

I find it too emotional some days and other days it is my solace! I guess when I can handle the pain and the reminder of what I went through (like everyone) Im here aaaall the time, but when I need a distraction I try to stay away too.

I am going to be back in the dreaded but much anticipated by wednesday or thursday at the lasest Im certain! Im pretty excited actually!

I dont want to think I am pregnant this month but I dont want to jinx it and be realistic (negative )either!

Hope you all find some comfort and ways to ease your pains xx

I hope everyone had a relaxing weekend, to all I hope this is our cycle!!!
Was shopping in mildura thisafternoon and saw a lovely dress that I could wear to my friends wedding in November, I didn't buy it because I don't want to be able to fit into it by then...I want a babybelly too. My girlfriend asked me to be her MOH at her wedding but when she found out I fell PG in Jan she gave me the boot BC she didn't want a pregnant fatty in her photoes. Now she has 5 other bridesmaids and I'm feeling a little left out, she doesn't call me anymore but as DH says she will be back hunting for friends after her "Big Day" when reality of life kicks in...... I sound like a cow but this is the place to vent our true feelings hey!

Coco I would love to give you all the info and advice you need re IUI. Hopefully it doesn't get that far for you to need it but knowing all about it can only be a bonus and it may even take your mind of things like......TWW for example! Nice to have plans if you need them x Ask me anything anytime. I added you as a friend too

Sparkles YAY for AF!!!! Never thaught I'd say that to someone here.

Maddison what shop do you have in SHill? I live on the river in R'vale I nurse at the hospital there and my DH is a blockie...I would love to see you next time I'm in SHill that would be great. X

Bookworm I hope AF eased for you over the weekend The day I get AF i'm useless, very heavy and awfull cramping, but only usually lasts for the day. I hope that you are feeling much much better now darling.

Cherished the Natropath in SwanHill had me on:
Endo Mix for endometriosis...have never been diagnosed with endo though
Iron Sustain
Ultra Extend for health wellbeing
B6
Metagen B12/Folate
Ovarianne for reproductive support
......................and Tran-Quil for nervouse tension and anxiety....sounds like a Tranquiliser....didn't think I came off that bad
Also has Accupuncture there too.
I got my BFP 4mnths after taking the natural supplements but in the end I was forgetting days and running out of this pill and that....so I dunno. Was costing a VERY lot of money.

In saying that the IUI is costing a total of $1100 a try so I guess I have just contradicted myself in saying that!!!

AFM I had my ultrasound today to see how my eggies are doing, but bad news was I hvn't reacted to the Puregon Inj as well as I did last month so I have to go thru anoth 4 nights of Puregon and have anoth scan Friday morn. I was hoping to have the IUI on day 14 which is Thurs but our bodies dont exactly like being told what to do I have worked that out!
Good news is that I do have 2 eggies at 13mm (only had 1 last month) so hope they both get to 19mm by Friday and then Saturdat is the day!!! Will keep you all posted on how things are moving along.

One good thing Coco is that I'm constantly doing something every day of my cycle from day5 so it keeps me buisy and excited but as you said that TWW is like watching lawn bowls in slow motion. AGONY!!!!

Chickybabe I hope that you had a restfull weekend and that you got good news today, you have been in my thaughts x

Kyrawolf TinaR Joshsmum I hope that you are all doing really really well and thankyou for hovering over us still. It's lovely to hear how you are all going xxx
Starangel, SammyP, Eliselouise, Sunny, Sparkles, Emmy, Zeppy, TwinSister and LladyR hope you are all having a great start to the week. Wow there are a heap of us here.
It'l take time for me to get to know everyone! ATM I'm writing little notes so I Dn't get everyone mixed up

[Tanya]

Hi all....

Murray, sorry to hear you have to stay on those awful injections for a bit longer.... I hope it does the trick!! xx

Coco... have fun BDing!!

Haven't had a chance to read what is happening but I hope all is well with you all.

I am now in the tww..... Banjo's edd is quickly approaching. I remember after my 1st m/c I got a BFP a couple of days after bub's edd... wonder if the same is going to happen this time.... bet it doesn't!

[Inanna]

I've got everything crossed for you Tan my love...

[chickybabe73]

Hi Ladies,

for you all !

I had my scan yesterday and the news was 50/50....

There is a heartbeat ! 114bpm and measuring at 6 wks 2 days. I have myself 2 days infront of that going off my LMP.

There is a seperate sac next to the baby which is where the bleeding is coming from. Apparently it will either just pass or it will cause me to miscarry.....
This is called a Subchorionic bleed ? Happened at implantation when all the cells and blood etc get together.

So we arent out of the woods yet by any means. I just go back to waiting now - again !
At least i know what is causing the bleeding, so strangely it doesnt seem as scary now cause i have an answer but still very much on edge knowing that it can all go wrong so quickly. Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!

So i guess this means you havent got rid of me yet - i cant leave - you all give me strength - i hope you dont mind if i stay ?

I hope you are all having a good day.
I am not feeling great so i am laying down alot and doing a bit of lurking...

Thinking of you all !

BBL

xoxoxo

[eliselouise85]

Chickybabe that must be hard still waiting even after having your scan. That is good news though that there is a heartbeat, will be keeping everything crossed for you in the next 6 - 8 weeks especially. Also its definately fine for you to stay on here and chat, we all like to know what is going on with you as well so dont feel as though you have to leave us just yet
Tanya good luck with the tww, hope its not too stressfull on you and i have everything crossed that this is your month
murraycod, thats no good that you have to go through more injections, hopefully your eggies will be right really soon and you can get a lovely BFP
Coco theres no need to apologise for being absent from the thread, i feel the same at times, sometimes it helps me to get through it and other times its just too hard. Hopefully you are feeling better soon and fingers crossed this is your month
Hello to everyone else hope your week is going well.
AFM af has left the building, thank goodness coz she was not nice to me at all this month. Now looking forward to ovulating, BDing and testing (only once and it will be BFP - hopefully ) It turns out that db should still be home around the time of ov so hopefully it will all work out.
Enjoy your week lovely ladies. Chat soon

[starangelk]

Morning ladies

CBG - I have been hoping and praying for you, so good to hear from you despite your news being both good and bad. Focusing on the good, yay! A heartbeat - wooohooo!! And also measuring 2 days ahead, that's got to be a good sign that the baby is growing and everything is spot on. The seperate sac.............I have heard of this before. Someone I used to work with went through this too - it all turned out well for her as I really hope it does for you too. This waiting time must be very difficult for you - I am really thinking of you.

EliseLouise - shame AF was tough on you this month, maybe it's because it's the last time she will be visiting for quite a while and she just doesn't want you to forget her

Hi to everyone else - there are so many of us now. Have a wonderful week.

AFM - I am waiting to O...........ff is being not so helpful considering I got a + OPK one night and then negatives ever since. It just doesn't line up but I knew this month would be all over the shop.

[coco1411]

Hi all !

Chickybabe: That's great news!!! Wonderful!!! Ill be keeping an eye on your progress, it does sound good despite the other sac...do they think that could have been a twin? Or just another sac. IYKWIM..

I have a little problem..well a question..

I did a OPK yesterday thinking I would be a little late and It looked like the bum end of a positive....so I did another one today and I am unsure as to whether it is pos or not??

Could I have some assistance??

Also...the book in the background is absolutely HILARIOUS! and I urge you all to read it!! So funny for us chicks trying to get utd!
It's by Melanie La'Brooy

Anyway...here is the photo..

Furthermore...
My temps look as though I am in my luteal phase. Not about to ovulate.

My CM is a mix between sticky & creamy..

[starangelk]

Coco - I've been counting my ones like that as negative.........but maybe I have been doing it wrong??

[maddison]

Hi everyone,

Chickybabe - Awesome news about the heartbeat. I bet that was wonderful to hear. Sorry about the extra news. I have my fingers crossed that it will just go away on its own for you.

Coco- The test line looks fainter to me so i would say its a negative. Hope you are doing well today.

Kyra & TinaR - anymore updates for us??

Eliselousie - Good to hear that a/f has left. Bring on that little eggie for you!

Murray cod - Wow i have friends in Robinvale and we visit a few times a year. My friend Ange works at the IGA in the office. Do you know her? My shop is next door to Wood and Co (real estate agents) just up a bit from the traffic lights in the main street.

Sunbeam - I miss your positive posts! Hope you are lurking and doing ok.

Ferrals - If you are lurking i hope you have found some wonderful ladies in your new forum. We miss you!

Big hellos to everyone else.... Cherished, starangel, .....Im having a memory blank..... Everyone!!

AFM - Im 10 dpo. Not much going on. Not feeling positive or negative... Just cruising along and not thinking much about it. Feeling like we need a little bit of happy splashed around here. Hope everyone is feeling lots of support and love in real life.

[SammyP]

Coco - Sorry Coco, I don't use the ovulation kits so I can't really say. I did try them once and the line never really went that dark, your photo is darker than any result I got.

Chickybabe - What a relief to at least know what your body is doing and why. I think this will be a sticky babe. Did they give you an idea as to when they feel the danger has passed and you can relax and enjoy the pregnancy?

Maddison - We went for a holiday in Swan Hill last year as DH had a conference there and I tagged along as I have family in Swan Hill. I remember going into a baby clothes shop as it was when we were just starting TTC and I was feeling clucky. Great clothes but they were really expensive labels and not something I was expecting in a country town so I had to pretend to the lovely sales lady that I just hadn't found anything I quite wanted and sneak out.

AFM - Not entirely sure whether I had ovulation or not but I think I did we took advantage of it so now I am in the TWW.

[bookworm12]

Chickybabe, that's so great you have a heartbeat! I'm praying that all goes well for you and you have a beautiful baby to hold in your arms.

Best of luck to everyone TTC. AF is mostly gone now, thank goodness. This cycle may seem like eternity for me, trying to wait. Per my OB's instructions, we can try after this next cycle is over. It's a little strange, using an OPK for the "opposite" reasons this time around. I have a lot of skin allergies, so condoms are out for birth control. We'll take a break when I get a positive O this month. I guess I'll try to concentrate on losing weight instead, keep my mind busy that way. I've lost about 5 pounds so far (a little over 2 k).

[Inanna]

Coco I would dtd honey. That's either the end or the start. Either way your window is open IMO.

Personally - I only got those type of results when I was about to ovulate..

[coco1411]

Thanks everyone

I did another one before and it was negative, no questioning it. So We'll dtd anyway and see how we go! I said this yesterday too, but tomorrow's temp will fill me in either way!

[murraycod]

Maddison I may know Ange if I saw her but dn't think I know her personally though.
I have lived here for 4yrs but my DH was born here and he seems to know everybody!
I will definately pay you a visit when i'm in SHill next.

Chickybabe I like that you hang around still, we all love to hear how you are going and I'm sure you have made plenty of close friends here that love to help you through this part of your journey.
Congratulations on the heartbeat!!!!!! I'm sure even though the news is 50/50 you have a very sticky bub there....what you have gone though in the last week would'v sent me to the psychiatric ward

Eliselouise good luck this month darling

Bookworm great to hear that AF settled for you over the past couple of days. Goodluck to you this month too!!

SammyP and Tanya wouldn't it be great if someone could invent a pill that makes you sleep for two weeks?!?
Keep buisy and healthy, hope it goes by fast for you both x
Tanya I'm sorry that your EDD is lurking close, mine is Oct 25. I have always said I could cope if I were pregnant again at that time, but will be a mess if im not. I hope that you get your well earned BFP this month. We will all be here for you x

Starangel and Coco I'm not much of a help with the OPK's, looks like there will be quite a few in the TWW if they were positive. BD anyway!!!!!

AFM no changes, hoping that Friday brings good news.

I do have a question though.

Last month I had my Pregnyl Trigger shot on day 13 and IUI on day 14........
This month Im having to have more needles and anoth scan on Friday which will be day15.
Is it possible for me to "O" natural before friday??? I'm a little worried that day 15 is a little too late for a scan and day 16 too late for IUI.
And if everything works out fine my *&#cycle will be 2 days longer.............2 more days I have to wait for my results

Can anyone shed some light??

[ferrals4]

Maddison of course i am lurking how can i not keep an eye on my girl's you all helped me through hell and back i read all your post's and cross my finger's and get excited for you all and also get dissapointed when thing's don't work out i miss you all but as i'm still waiting and not actively TTC just yet i'm in the other thread's getting as much info as possible on pgd ivf but i don't have long now next month if all goe's to plan about the 10th of oct if the testing is on time and i hope to see you in the pregnancy thread's if it work's.

[maddison]
