Hi girls!

Welcome Nomsie & Aden2005!!

How is everyone going? I've still been feeling really sh!tty, I rang to try to get an appointment to see my Dr next week but he is now on holidays and the receptionist said that the only way I will get an appointment with the replacement Dr is to ring at 8am each morning and see if they can fit me in :hair: I want to go see someone because a) I've been feeling like my emotions are so out of control this week and I can't handle anything without crying, b) I want to ask to be tracked with blood tests so I don't have the stress of trying to figure out when I've O'd by myself and c) I want to ask why I am still ovulating so late even now I'm on clomid. So hopefully I can get in to see the replacement Dr, might even be good to have someone different look at my charts and give their opinion.

Katiesmum- that is shocking, surely they understand the urgency of this sort of thing :hugs:

Swizzle

08-02-2008, 08:17 PM

OMG!!!!! That is FANTASTIC news Ains!!!!! :yelclap: :thumbsup: :flowerz:
I'm so happy for you! And great timing AF!

Hello girlies! :wave: Hope you're all doing well. Nothing too much to report for me. DH has his 'semen analysis' request from GP, just has to pluck up the courage to do it! I have my scan on Monday, then seeing GP again on Thurs, so will hopefully know if it's PCOS or not, so we can get on with something...

Has anyone temped without a cycle? I started about 10 days ago & it's been a bit all over the place, but I get excited when it dips!

Swizzle

08-02-2008, 08:39 PM

Hi Katherine - If my diagnosis is as predicted, I might be asking a few questions as well as bubfee. I really don't know much about PCOS, but hopefully I won't have to worry for too long.
Good luck to you & your partner - 2008 is going to be a wonderful year! :)

aden2005

08-02-2008, 09:03 PM

Oh oops yeah on top of my thyroid problem i have a mild case of PCOS.

Hey at least i cant forget my son's Birthday huh :laughing:

Ains- its good to be back, and OMG you get to do IVF yay finally :) your soooo close to that BFP i can smell it :hugs:

KatiesMum

09-02-2008, 01:15 PM

Hi Girls

well I have calmed down a bit :D. I suppose a few extra days in the whole scheme of things is not going to make a great deal of difference....especially as it is unlikely I am going to get to see the Dr before my next cycle starts anyway ....

just have to try naturally for a bit longer

Katherine - welcome and I hope that you get a BFP nice and soon ..... taking so long is really really hard.

Ains - get the tickers here (http://www.bubhub.com.au/tickers/)

Bubfee - so glad that you are happy with where you are. I was like that the first time around....happy to try naturally but to have IVF booked in ....and thats actually when I fell pg with Katie ....

Grace - :wave:

and Hi to everyone else ...... have a good weekend :D

Nomsie - :wave: - good to see you in here

Haylie - :hugs: hun. Hopefully you get in to see him and get to have blood tests ....

Well my weekend was great. I had my best friends mum and her golf team come to the pub and play a few holes and sink a ship with all the grog they consumed!!!!!!!:smiliedance: But it was sooooooo lovely to see my best friends mum. She still gets really upset soooooooo easily, but you cant blame her! It was really nice just to talk about todd (bestie) and not have to worry about crying....:( it was warming.

But besides that i have all my dates for nasal spray and injections and egg retrieval.....:ecomcity:.

I am soooooooo excited! :goodvibes:

Well girlies.

MUCH LOVE

Have a lovely day and massive :goodvibes: to you all!

KatiesMum

11-02-2008, 07:16 PM

Hi everyone

Bubfee - most clinics only let you transfer 1 - though many will allow 2 for an FET cycle (frozen), if you are over 35 and/or have had at least 2 failed cycles. I too am a bit suprised that Ains has found one who will transfer 2 on her first go .....but that is great news for you Ains!!!

I am only having 1 transferred - but my FS wouldnt have let me have 2 even if I had wanted .....

Ains - have you had the demo of how to do the injections? it isnt that scary.....

Haylie - did you get in to see the Dr?

Hi Grace - glad to hear that bubby is treating you well

Hi Everyone else. hope your having a good day.

Hello Ains,

I'm floating around on here, just reading everyones posts.

But DS is still chatting away in bed.

DH is also at Uni tonight, so even if I go to bed, I probably won't end up falling asleep.

Suzie- whats going on hun.....Are you ok!? :hugs: And i am always sending :goodvibes:!!!!! much love!

Grace- how you feeling?!?!

Julie- Westmead does let you transfer 2 but they STRONGLY dont recomend it. But as i see it, heaps of women fall pregnant with twins natrally. I can imagine their haste with huge multi pregnacies, like 3, 4, 5.....but 2.......i think that should be ok.

much love girlies!

11-02-2008, 07:40 PM

I agree totally Ains. Lots of people naturally have twins.

My two scallywags are finally asleep. They had dancing tonight, so they were still on a high.

Sorry hun i am just hoping your positivity will rub off on me.

I am a little worried about dh he has to have a sperm test on friday. Plus it is coming up to 12 months of trying, and i guess i am just getting discouraged.

It will be all good.

Sorry for crashing the thread too by the way ladies :D

Grace - I'm glad you're doing well & hope the next few months are just as good!

I had my U/S today. Will be seeing the Dr on Thurs. I don't know results yet, but on the scan there are dark spots on a section that has been circled by the sonographer - could they be cysts?

IVFcrazylady

11-02-2008, 08:40 PM

oh suzie.....:hugs: i am thinking of you honey!!!!! Even if everything isnt fine, at least you know. And there is something that you can do!!! Oh and by the way DONT take the first sperm test as the final result......cause dh's first test was terrible.....and the 2nd test was perfectly normal. So normal that my fs told me i could do injections and try normally for another 6 months or so.......or do IUI but i said no we are doing IVF this is silly! So my dear friend.............go back for more and more tests as many as possible. It puts you more in control of this crappy situation of TTC!

Julie- if i get twins we would be soooooo happy, but if we get 1. I would be totally as happy!!!!!!! would just like anything!!!! :goodvibes:

Grace- thursday is great btw. where abouts?

what are you doing on so early ains??

Thanks hun yeah i know i will ask to have another test done if it is not good. My dh is so slack but he is hard to get organised! He works from 7.00am to 6.30 to 7.00pm monday to friday so he is hard to send for tests. He has a rdo once a month, and lately i have been o'ing each time he has a day off!

anyway i guess i should know by next week!

:fingerscrossed: for you ains hope the IVF goes good and u have your twins :D

Thanks Katiesmum i guess i am just finding it hard because i have no one for support here right now (Other then you lovely ladies). MIL is close by but has Absolutely no idea of what i am going through and is totaly no support and my mum is 7 hours away.

Well DH is another story. I have come to the conclusion that no man understand!!

Oh Swizzle don't stress about it. Just wait and see what the dr has to say.

Nomsie

12-02-2008, 07:15 AM

Oh Susiebabes :hugs: thinking of you! I am coming up to a year of TTCing as well, and the PMS symptoms I had the over the past few days during O sent me almost insane!

:fingerscrossed: that all the tests and everything works in your favour, but I'm sure you wont need luck, you'll be just fine.

Swizzle- good luck with your results. Try not to stress too much. I had my u/s done to check for any problems and I opened the report before I saw the Dr. I stupidly googled everything and had myself convinced that my endometrium lining was too thin, I'd never carry another baby and would need to ask my sister to be our surrogate :rolleyes: :laughing: Turns out everything was AOK!

How is everyone else?

:hissy: that sucks!!!! Is that legal!?!?!? Call the unions! :yes: is it a big company?!?! that makes me :mad:.
unfortunately it probably is very legal. bonus time is just that a "bonus" on top of their load. I imagine (SB i could be wrong) that they get extra pay if they don't take sick leave, it wouldn't account for all of his bonus

we had a restructure here and went from a department that paid 1/4ly bonuses to one that doesnt pay them at all. such is life :no:

In the workshop they gat a $200 bonus $100 of that is made up of the "Attendance" so if they were to have one day off regardless if they are sick or not or if they have a medical cert or not they loss that $100!

So he thinks it is not worth going to the Dr when he losses $100 for not going, then money for Dr and if we go to specalist it is more like about $150 (out of pocket expenses).

I am just a big sooky la la.

On the topic of fair / unfair work practices....

I was just going through my companies maternity leave entitlements.

I find it terrible that you cannot take maternity leave and paternity leave concurrently. Thats sad. You can have a week off together after the birth but then thats it. Maternity leave is shortened bu the length of paternity leave taken and vice versa. Too bad if you want to stay home together with your child for a couple of months and you have no annual leave.

Oh that sucks! Big companies suck!!!! We own 2 businesses. We are in a family company with dh's family. So mil, fil, bil me and dh are all very intertwined!!!! It sometimes bothers me only cause bil isnt a "team player"! I have many threads about how freaking annoying he is! But it is working for us.......$$$ wise anyway!
DH and i live in sydney and dh runs the excavation company. BIL MIL and FIL live just outside of golbourne and run a pub. I swan between doing nothing and working sometimes in the pub! I use sometimes VERY loosly! :laughing:
I used to nanny full time. I have qualifications in special needs children. Mainly kids on the autism spectrum! :yes: but not now with IVF being sooooooo important!! :D

oh and at the pub we give all parents, families and ttc couples "time off" to do what they need to...That is 1 thing about my in laws, they really respect families and want the parents to be able to go to school concerts, drs appointments, school carnivals ect! I am very proud of our maternity and paternity rules!!!!!! :D

ok so i have just noticed i am :ecomcity:!!!! as per usual! I spose i am just soooooo excited about you all being here and chatting!!! :smiliedance:

ok lovers.

Would be lovely if all companies adopted the same approach as your in laws. In an age where it is difficult enough financially to have one person stay at home for an extended period of time with a child, I believe it should be encouraged by companies that the family have a couple of months together AT LEAST - before both parents usually have to return to work anyways.

IVFcrazylady

12-02-2008, 12:43 PM

We just see it as being human. We all have feelings and issues and i spose our employees are just lucky that if they cant make it to work, i generally can! I mean dont get me wrong, we do say no sometimes, but only to stupid requests like our head chef asking for 2 weeks off during school holidays! UMM HOW BOUT NO! He is our only chef and being in school holidays that is our busiest time!!!!! Mind u we did negotiate and he did get 1 week in school hols off!

My MIL and FIL are parents they understand how important it is for parents to bring up their children. Unfortunalty something they didnt get to do......hence the reason BIL is the spoilt child he is!!!

HI Everyone - wow chatty group today.

Well I am an accountant .... seems there is a few of us on here atm ...

I work Mondays and Tuesdays (so was not on much today as at work :laughing:)

I am contract, so only get paid if I work .....which actually suits me fine as I am not exactly the most reliable of staff members at the moment. Between Katie, setting up for IVF and some other stuff I have going on, I have averaged about 7 hrs a week since before christmas .....

Anyway - hope you are all having a good day.

I have 3 jobs - 1 paid and 2 volunteer!

My paid job is in Administration for a University - in their medical school and based in a hospital (where i have unlimited access to lots of journals and research findings!) Obs/Gyn is one of the medical specialities here, very handy!! I've just finished studying Community Services Management and would love to go back to working in the non-profit sector in the future.

My volunteer job #1 is as a telephone counsellor for lifeline. I do about 6 hours a fortnight, but am on a break at the moment. Very rewarding work, but very draining if you are not 100% emotionally.

My volunteer job #2 is working on a Top Fuel drag racing team believe it or not. DH works full time and i get to travel around with the team. I look after catering and merchandise, as well as the odd mechanical job on the day. It is really fun, something i NEVER thought would be interesting. But it is great watching the team on TV and seeing their achievements.

I used to work in sales and marketing, however once i had connor my focus changed. so i am now a doula and it is the greatest job i have ever had. its very very rewarding, however, due to some family members being VERY unsupportive of it, i am now hopefully going to uni next semester and doing teaching. im sure i will still enjoy it but not as much as my doula work :no:

Hi girls :wave:

What's everyone been up to today? We did a bit of shopping this morning, we got a new curtain for the dining room and I ordered a jewlery box for our god daughter who turns one next month and is having her naming day thing. It's so cute!

Prior to being a mummy I did the accounts for a nursing home- accounts receivable and payable as well as other admin stuff. Being a mummy is much more fun but I do miss the adult interaction at times.

p.s I am sick of having long cycles :thumbsdown:

:thumbsdown: for long cycles M2M

KatiesMum

Long cycles do suck. :(

Moonstone Mumma - it must be very hard to give up something you love 'cause your family dont support (or understand) it. :hugs: Though I am sure nursing will be fantastic.....

Haylie - the adult interaction is one of the main reasons why I went back to work. :D

I never thought that I would - thought I would be a fully time mummy .....but I actually do like my work, (and they are really really flexible with hours and stuff). I actually have found that I am a better Mummy for having that time to be a person too IYKWIM. Have MUCH more patience!!! :laughing:

Katie loves daycare so it works out good for us.

p.s I am sick of having long cycles :thumbsdown:

I looked at your charts M2M - waiting ages to O on CD28 and then short luteal phase must be frustrating. Do you think the clomid helped lengthen your lp out to 11 days last cycle?

My luteal phase has been 9, 9 and 8 days last 3 cycles so I will draw inspiration from you if clomid works to lengthen yours! Will be more excited when you get your bfp this cycle!!!!:yelclap:

MORNING!

:smiliedance:

Mummy to Mason

13-02-2008, 10:32 AM

Good morning Ains how are you today!

ayse- yep O'ing on day 28 is frustrating!! :hair: I really don't know if it was the clomid that lengthened my luteal phase or if it was the VitB6. I tend to think it was the VitB6 because my first clomid cycle I did without it, my luteal phase was the shortest it has ever been, however I did start mid cycle that time so it could have buggered up all my hormones and thrown everything out of whack. I highly recommend trying to VitB6, it can't hurt and is actually really good for you. 8 and 9 day luteal phases make it really hard for a little egg to implant so definately you should try to lengthen that if you can. Are you starting clomid? I am hoping my luteal phase is even longer this time, well I hope I won't know how long it is as I will get a BFP instead of AF!!!

welcome to the thread! hope you are not here long at all (in a nice way of course! :))

def look into homebirth. it has been found (in low risk pregnancies) that it is just as safe as at the hospital, and in most cases even safer. thats the path i will be heading when we have our next one. i think ains was also pondering on the subject as well.

Yay! Good on you :yelclap:

While I think homebirth is FANTASTIC, it is not for me :no: Well not for #2 anyway, I don't have the confidence in myself after Mason's birth that went horribly wrong and so therefore it will be off to the hospital for me. I would consider it for #3 if #2 goes well. I have such admiration for women who choose to homebirth, to have that much confidence in your body is nothing short of amazing.

I understand that women rave about homebirths.

But in honesty, I loved my hospital birth. I wasn't stressed at all. I was very comfortable and delivered two beautiful children. DD was completely drug free. AND I had the best OB in the whole wide world and DH I should add.

Hope you're all going well.

Haylie hope you've o'd already this cycle and caught the eggie.

Grace hope that lil bubba is going well.

Ains I can't wait to hear all about your IVF journey (and tips for me!!...in particular how I can convince my FS to transfer TWO embies!!! :baby::baby:)

Katiesmum how are you going hun after that frustrating letter incident??

Hi girls....

Well i had a nice evening with my parents.....it was ok i suppose. My mum has gotten 1 of Australias best quiters to make her a pattern for a king size quilt wall hanging. It is for our baby nursery!!! :bee: It looks amazing well the colour photo!!!! It is all different african animals, so it looks like my original idea of an african theme room is going ahead!!! :smiliedance:

:goodvibes: for the first cycle for my jungle child/ren!!!!

ayse08

13-02-2008, 10:32 PM

ayse- yep O'ing on day 28 is frustrating!! :hair: I really don't know if it was the clomid that lengthened my luteal phase or if it was the VitB6. I tend to think it was the VitB6 because my first clomid cycle I did without it, my luteal phase was the shortest it has ever been, however I did start mid cycle that time so it could have buggered up all my hormones and thrown everything out of whack. I highly recommend trying to VitB6, it can't hurt and is actually really good for you. 8 and 9 day luteal phases make it really hard for a little egg to implant so definately you should try to lengthen that if you can. Are you starting clomid? I am hoping my luteal phase is even longer this time, well I hope I won't know how long it is as I will get a BFP instead of AF!!!

:fingerscrossed: for your BFP!
I have been taking VB6 all this cycle, hopefully it will help. It's only my 4th cycle TTC, so I think I'll try VB6 for a couple of cycles before I go to see Drs. They probably won't have anything to do with me until I've been trying for a bit longer, I guess.....

Ains & Grace- enjoy your date ;)

ayse- if the VitB6 doesn't work and you want to go to the Dr's but think they will turn you away cause it's not been very long, just go anyway. I went after only TTC for 5 months because I knew the luteal phase thing was a problem. And if you have to you can alway lie and say you've been trying for longer than you have.

MoonstoneMumma

14-02-2008, 11:10 AM

OMG now i have NO idea!!! went to the dr and i have not o'd at all this cycle. he was going to put me on 3 lots of clomid (didn't tell him i was planning to stop) and to take it now half way through my cycle. i am also insulin resistant - so there would be very very little chance of my fall pg without the metformin.

so, the reality is that if i go off the meds i have sweet fa chance of it happening naturally. i mean i am interested to see if the clomid does eventually work. and what if i run into all this trouble later on? what do i d do ladies????

KatiesMum

14-02-2008, 12:08 PM

Hi All

While I am not into homebirths much myself, I certainly applaud anyone who decides to go for it.

Unfortunately today it is not seen as a mainstream choice ... which is really sad as many people who would like a homebirth end up having a hospy birth out of community (family etc) pressure - and cost!!! (dont get me started on that :laughing:).

I had a c/s for Katie (as she was breech) which actually ended up being a really positive experience for me, so will have another c/s - if I ever manage to have another :baby:

megaminz

14-02-2008, 12:11 PM

I also think people who have homebirths are brave,

I am terrified of the thought of giving birth at hospital let alone at home!!

My husband has a history of 12-14 pound babies with BIG HEADS :o in his family so there is NO way if I can avoid it that I will be anywhere that does not have the drugs on hand that I anticipate I will need to get through the experience!!!

KatiesMum

14-02-2008, 12:15 PM

Shea - :hugs: Hun. No advice ..... just more :hugs:

As for me - I just had some really great news.

I have an appointment with the blood specialist next Friday!!!! YAY!!!! That will be cd20, which gives him a week (or a little longer) to do more BT's etc and decide that all is ok with me - and then I can still do the March cycle. YAY!!!!

Even if it takes a bit longer, at least I know that I am moving forward and will definitely be able to start the next cycle.

I was actually quite prepared to sit out March as I thought it would be much longer before I saw the specialist ....so am really happy!!!!

YAY!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!! YAY!!!!

When I had the scan done in the last trimester they said he was already 5 pounds and would be at least 9 pounds born "and would you look at the size of that head" :eek: I was scared to say the least! :laughing:

SammyG

14-02-2008, 06:51 PM

We all want to keep doing it though! In the scheme of things the birth we all obsess over is over very quickly - even 2days of labour (started wed, had him on the Fri) is nothing compared to the lifetime you have with your kids!

Nomsie

14-02-2008, 06:59 PM

Yeah! Now all we have to do is fall pregnant! I have never been in labour, but I reckon in 20 years I will be saying the hardest part was TTC, not labour! :laughing:

(please tell me I will!:laughing: )

KatiesMum

14-02-2008, 07:08 PM

:laughing: Nomsie

I have never been in labour either, but I can honestly tell you - TTC was absolutely definitely a million times harder than the c/s. :yes:

The lap surgery I had when ttc was also heaps heaps worse than the c/s in terms of recovery and stuff as well .....

I predict that you will get a BFP very soon, have a nice easy pregnancy, breeze through labour, have a wonderful natural birth with no drugs in sight and have a sweet and gentle bubs who sleeps and feeds and smiles beautifully from birth :flowerz:

I was 5 pound 4 & my brother was 6 pound something, don't know how big DH was but hopefully when we do finally fall pregnant the baby won't be huge.

My sister was 5 pounds and I was 6 pounds, DH was 7 pounds so I was expecting a 7 pounder at most. Lol what a shock!

Mummytomason, my DS1 was induced on his due date, 9lb4oz with a 38cm head (no wonder he got stuck) They say bubs are meant to get bigger but DS2 was also induced on his due date and was 8lb10 with a 36cm head (still above average but at least not bigger)

OMG our DS's were the exact same weight AND had the same head circumference :yes: Mason was delivered by the ventous suction thingy though so I think it was so big because of the swelling.

Nomsie- yes TTC is much much harder than labour! At least with labour you know the end is near and your bub will be snuggled in your arms soon. With TTC you have no idea where you stand from one month to the next :rolleyes:

Ains- wow, I wish I could have any car I wanted! You are very lucky! :D What will you get?

Note to self - need to buy a new crystal ball ..... this one is getting a little fuzzy ...I am getting a huge sea of BFP's ...and lots of pink :D

LOL thanks hun i am in the ttw but i would love blue stuff! lol but hey i will not be fussy!

DS2 arrived so quick (4cm dilated to delivery was 16mins total) 3 pushes, no intervention, no Dr, just midwives! It hurt but it was quick!

Ains, while you are in the area check out Baby Kingdom up on the Hume Highway! Warning about Emmy's - they are gorgeous but terrible at steering and very heavy to lift in and out of the car! So gorgeous though! Especially with white wall tyres!

Shairo

wow Ains congratulations, not as exy, but I can highly recommend the subaru forester, fantastic car. how is the quilt going? and :smiliedance:congrats on your award, u are very deserving :yelclap:

Evening girls

Ains thats awesome news about the new car!! You have picked my v v fave car!! Perfect for the twins :D

Haylie how are you doing hun?

Katiesmum any visions for me? :D

Shea have a lovely time away. And come back on here when you get back!!

Grace sending you :goodvibes: for the lil one.

Hello to everyone else too. I am gonna be on here a whole heap more from next week so will bring myself up to date with everyones news.

As for me, I'm heading into O time. I have decided to send my :babydust2: to you girls though because for some reason I'm not fussed as much about this month. Signing up to IVF has made me relax a little bit about ttc for the next couple of months (I am still going mental thinking about it all the time though - I think I am just trying hard not to fall in a heap like I did when AF arrived this cycle). I will need a lot of :babydust2:at the end of March though when you all already have your :bfp:!!!

KatiesMum

14-02-2008, 10:25 PM

Bubfee - my prediction for you is unlike Ains, you will not get a BFP on your first cycle .........

Pregnant women do not need IVF!!!!!

:D :flowerz: :D :flowerz: :D

ayse- if the VitB6 doesn't work and you want to go to the Dr's but think they will turn you away cause it's not been very long, just go anyway. I went after only TTC for 5 months because I knew the luteal phase thing was a problem. And if you have to you can alway lie and say you've been trying for longer than you have.

M2m - Thanks for the advice - might use it if no luck in next 2 cycles.

However, all the talk in this thread today of baby's head circumferences and vacuum suction did make me cross my legs and wonder if the whole thing's such a good idea...

Hope everyone else had good Valentine's Day. I hit the jackpot with roses and A spa treatment voucher! :valentine:

HI HI EVERYONE!!!

Hope you all had wonderful valentines day.

Matt got me a bunch of roses, a teddy bear, took me to dinner at the River Arms (vry vry nice restaurant in Ulverstone, about half an hour away from here) AND to top it all off he's booked us a spa room at a motel down near the beach for tonight. I'm so spoiled :yes:

Well by the looks of it I am 4DPO having LOOOOOOONNNNGGGGGGGG cycles... grr (on CD34)!!! But finally my temp has evened out after it being up and down ALL MONTH... I had a big dip and then the last few days its been around 26.25 so I suppose all is good...

Katiesmum any predictions for me???

KatiesMum

15-02-2008, 11:01 AM

I got nothing for valentines day either!

Well FF now says I O'd on day 19 like I suspected :yelclap: Check out my chart- http://www.fertilityfriend.com/home/1c1c78 And the best thing about it was that the times we BD'd leading up to it were really really good, we were relaxed and not forcing it because we thought that O was ages away! I really feel like I'm in with a good chance this month. I'm still not 100% believing that I O'd because it seems like such a miracle to be so early for me but all signs seem to point to it so I just need to watch my temps over the next few days. And it would probably explain was I was so sick this time from the clomid because it was kicking in like it's meant to.

My step dad said this morning to me that I look different and I'm glowing. He doesn't know I could be pregnant! :bee:

Not sure Ains. It could be all the medication your taking.

Maybe some of ladies from IVF, have had similar experience.

MEKISS

15-02-2008, 01:24 PM

Not sure if it's the medication Ains, but lately I have been feeling like that, the other night I didn't even want to go & sleep in the same bed as DH & it wasn't even like we had an argument or anything. I have found that in the last couple of months around certain times in my cycle I have even had really bad thoughts about our relationship & they just come from nowhere & I act like a total biatch (like when I was 16 & not using any contraception). It could be your hormones.:no:

A family friend (my parent's age) said the same thing to me at a party last week! I was wrapped! :flowerz: I pointed out that I'd had a drink, so they wouldn't think I was PG. :laughing:

I was worried about over-analysing my results too, so I left it up to the pro's. My GP says the results are not typical of PCOS, but she thinks it is. She can't confirm though :rolleyes: Will have to leave it up to the Gyno/Endo... Only a week til I hopefully get a confirmation. Then we can get some treatment & make a baby! :goodvibes::smiliedance:

Grace hun you know you have to stcik around til we all get our BFPs - you're only gonna have to wait til March/April everyone is gonna have a BFP by then.

I hope it's soon too!!! I'm on cd 14 today - normally I o around now - but my temps are doing crazy things this cycle (the story of my life :D) so who knows when I'll o. Also DH goes away from Monday to Wednesday next week so think we may be out this month. We are getting plenty of BDing in just in case! I figure early Mon morning and late Wed night should at least put us in with a chance!!

There is still a chance of an amazing natural BFP for you too isnt there?

Nomsie

17-02-2008, 04:17 PM

So, continuing the conversation with myself, just got back from the supermarket. You can always trust good old safeway- when TTCing isn't hard enough, every second woman there will be pregnant and glowing or have a little baby or toddler.

And then, once you realise and high-tail it out of that offending isle full of contented women, you find yourself in the baby-needs isle, with all the little clothes and tommy tippee stuff, and formula, and lotions and potions! I feel weird lingering in that isle. Like people would look at me and say "She's obviously not a mother, why is she looking at that stuff!" (How they would know I'm not a mother is beyond me, perhaps in my imagination it's written on my forehead!)

I thought about buying some HPT's, but unless I am late, I just can't bring myself to do it anymore. Not the least because it brings back feelings of being a naughty teenage girl who might have gotten herself into trouble! (Not that I ever was a naughty teenage girl, but again, I think that's how people would perceive me if I was to buy one!) :no:

ringneck

17-02-2008, 05:04 PM

i always fell weird buying hpt's it feels like ppl think oh no another young one up the duff by accident to a one night stand i just want to yell its not an accident and we're engaged stop staring at me :o dp normally goes and buys them anyway. its funny had to buy one once when i was 17 and i didnt feel nowhere near as guilty and naughty as i do now :laughing:guess i'm just a nutter

Nomsie

17-02-2008, 05:14 PM

That's EXACTLY how I feel! (Without the engaged part! :laughing: )

DP would NEVER buy a hpt, he is worried someone he knows would see him buying it! :rolleyes:

I find if I am buying it for someone else (as you do when you are young) I never felt HALF as guilty, because I KNEW it wasn't for me!?!?!?!

thats the same with me. i get so nervous going in to buy a hpt always waiting for someone i know to pounce out and catch me :laughing: my dp has no problem buying them he's a prince. my bf in highschool had a scare and her older bro went and bought her one so sweet he even waited at the door to see if she was ok

Oh lol that's so cute, both for your DP and your friend's bro! :laughing:

Friends are wonderful in that they have no qualms in buying HPT's for others!

I like the idea of buying them on the internet, in bulk, but I haven't heard the best things about them!

I can't even bring myself to go buy a BBT thermometer! Because the check out chick would KNOW why I'm buying a BBT therm!!! Do I have issues or what?! :laughing:

hi all, *huggles*

Ains - back still paining but gotta push through, life don't stop :laughing:, see the surgeon again following monday and should know by then what he decides to do :hair:

Aww Nomsie and ringneck :hissy:its horrid isn't it, I have been doing market stalls last few weeks and I swear every 2nd person is pushing a pram :crying: and a few weeks ago was in a supermarket (just ran in 2 get a coupla loaves of bread for mum) and ran into a girl I haven't seen for about 5 yrs, and she says Oh Hi Kim, pats my tummy and says bub in there yet, I curtly replied no just fat and :crying: all the way home.

but on a positive not I am 5dpo and had a huge dip in temp this morning, :fingerscrossed: it was an implantation dip hehe ;-) (although more likely due to only having 4 hrs sleep) but 1 can dream, would soooo love to prove the baby predictors right hehe,

Blessings

Bubfee- that's great we will be testing around the same time!!!

SSM- enjoy your nephews birthday dinner tonight :party:

Nomsie & Ringneck- lol I am the same. Usually I like to take Mason with me when I have to buy HPT's and make a point of flashing my wedding rings while I hand over the cash, mostly because I look about 18 (no offense to any 18 year olds who are TTC!) :laughing: But now I order online anyway. Noms, you can get a BBT thermometer at lullabyconceptions.com , I have one from there and it's only $16.95 and will only take a few days to arrive.

Shairo- good luck, hopefully it was an implantation dip! :fingerscrossed:

I am now 5dpo and nothing exciting to report other than sore boobs but it would be too early to be a pregnancy sign I would think. I'm just really hoping my luteal phase is nice and long again and not all out of whack again since I O'd so early :fingerscrossed:

Oh Ringneck, he is so sweet! :laughing:

M2M, now I just have to convince DP to let me use his debt card to purchase it with! (I can't have one, the house is in my name!) Although, I did mention today that I wish I could have a debt card, and he said and I quote: "What for? Just use mine!" :devil6:

And, cool, all I need to do now is to hijack someones baby to take with me next time I need to go buy a HPT! :laughing:

hey Nomsie lol, have u seen those reborn dolls some of em look sooo real, u could pretend :laughing:

This is true- I have seen them and they are amazing! I would like one to just sit in a bouncer in the lounge room- it would never spew, poo, cry or need feeding and will always look cute!

Good luck tomorrow ringneck!!! I'll keep everything crossed for you :fingerscrossed:

Grace- how has your day been?

:sunshine: Good Morning all

M2M - My birthday has been ok....Dh had to go into uni to study.
DH really struggles. I really don't understand why. Ok I'm going to have a little winged, but I would love it if the kids made me cards, but DH buys them and writes in them from the kids. I gave SO MANY hints for the kids to do something, but I didn't work.

Is it just my DH? or are others like this!

Only 4 more sleeps until I have my first OB appoiontment. :goodvibes:

Grace- you are not alone there :no: Usually DH buys the card on the day of my actual birthday or he will spring out of bed the morning of my birthday and quickly run in to write on the card and wrap the present. How hard is it to do it the night before?! And he never does anything sweet with Mason for me. I'd be more happy with a painting from Mason than diamond jewlery but I get neither! :laughing:

Yay for your OB appointment!

I understand that women rave about homebirths.

But in honesty, I loved my hospital birth. I wasn't stressed at all. I was very comfortable and delivered two beautiful children. DD was completely drug free. AND I had the best OB in the whole wide world and DH I should add.

don't get me wrong i had a great hospital birth with DD and don't mind having another, but want to see if things happen diff at home eg quicker labour, doing it alone no intervention (sp)
