Silver

Dammit! the colour thing wont work! Ok got it on the edit!

Haha!

Hubby asleep on the couch just tucked into bed.

Glad to hear you are ok Rosie sweets.

Good job on the list Rua!

Thanks for all the jokes guys. I only know rude nurse type jokes and they usually make people sick so i will keep them to myself for now.

Sharna

I remembered this one!

POSH FART!

A woman walks into a shop that sells expensive Persian Rugs.

Looking around, she spots the perfect rug, walks over and inspects it.

As she bends to feel the texture of the rug she farts loudly.

Very embarrassed she looks around nervously to see if anyone has noticed her 'little accident' and hopes a sales person does not pop up right now.

As she turns back, there standing next to her is a salesman. "Good day Ma'am, how may we help you today?"

Very uncomfortably she asks, "How much does this rug cost?"

He answers, "Lady if you farted just touching it, you're gonna crap your pants when you hear what the price is."

bronze

I hope that today is a new day and you are feeling a little better. Im sending you some


hi everyone elce will post personal later to all. have a great day.


Belly rubs and baby dust to all!!!!

Yeah new thread!
I am crap at jokes so I won't even bother I've been having a good chuckle though reading back through the posts.

tiff - when do you test, today or tomorrow?

hi guys, sorry no jokes for me. I've been hiding out and not checking in much lately, since I've been in an entirely different two week wait.

Basically, I went along to my scan last monday, thinking i was 7-8 weeks along, but the scan showed a gestational sac, yolk sac but no baby or heartbeat. The sonographer just merrily said 'too soon - you're only 6 weeks' and told me to go back in two weeks. Later that day we saw the doctor, and got out the calendar. Based on the date that I got my BFP, I should be later than 6 weeks. He had my HCG levels tested to try and learn more. My first result was 25000, which fitted fine with 6 weeks, but the second one was 27365, so it is going up, but not by much. Basically, the doc said that it was inconclusive, so i've gotta wait for my scan. He seems to alternate between being positive and telling me I have a blighted ovum. I'm booked in for the scan on lunchtime on Monday the 10th.

In the meantime I've had such bad m/s etc that I've had to tell my staff at work, and i've decided to tell close family and friends, because I'd rather have them know why I'm all over the place.

I've been trying not to read too much online, because you tend to read the negative and miss the positive, but when I did tune in I saw RoseM's bad news. i'm so sorry sweetie

I'll be back next week

me - 26
dh - 28
bfp - 29/1/08
no lmp date

good morning Ladies

Well tested to yesterday and got :dance:didnt really believe it, so i took my stick with me to the doc yesterday and he say yep its . We did bloods and will get them back today , they have to be repeated on monday also to ensure that the level is going up.
So I tested thismorning and yep again

I dont know whether to get excited or not yet due to m/c last time. but we have told our parents. We dont care that you should wait till the 12 week mark. at least if we drop off the planet they will know why.

So yeah will hace ti change my sig now. Doc says 3 weeks and 4 days preg and EDD will be 14 november 08. OMG...

will be back tonight to chat more. would love to post my pics of the BFP but dont know how. Can anyone PM me the insructions or tell me where to go.

P.s Can I stay in this group please!!!! love you guys

Have a great day everyone

cherry Im keeping everything crossed for you that all is fine

I CALLED IT!!!! I knew it!!!

CONGRATULATIONS TIFF!!! YOU GO GIRL!!



I am for a sticky one honey!!! You deserve it!! And OF COURSE you can stay... it wouldn't be the same without you!!

Cherry - I am that you just have wrong dates sweet heart... if you want to talk, let me know.

Love the Posh Fart!! hahahahaha

anywho - off to watch a pool get craned over my gf's house....

Congratulations Tiff!!! Sending you lots of sticky vibes The only way I know how to post a pic is to upload it to photobucket and then copy the line that has the /img tags at the beginning & end and paste it into your post. If there's an easier way I'm sure someone will tell you!

cherrytomatogal, I have my fingers and everything else crossed for you...

CONGRATULATIONS TIFF

So happy for you hope that it stays as a sticky and will be you. Best of luck hun. So exciting YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY

Congrats Tiff! I am so excited for you!!!

Congratulations Tiff!!!!!!! That's fantastic!

Here goes for my pics hope the link works

http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj146/tiffany-78/BmConfrence017.jpg

CONGRATULATIONS TIFF!!! for you that its a sticky!

Cherry, that the scan is good news. Hang in there and think positive! Surely the increasing HCGs are a good sign??

How is everyone else doing? Anyone due to test??

Me - I am alternating between excitement and busting to tell everyone....and worried because all nearly all my symptoms have disappeared - no cramps, no hunger pains, no m/s. I know I shouldn't worry, but its pretty hard not to.

Shell - With your symptoms, that can happen... Your MS will kick in, don't worry!! (be careful what you wish for!!) In the meantime, ENJOY this secret with your DH - it won't be long before you tell everyone and then the "advice" will come at you from all directions!!! hahaaha

Yay Tiff that is great news.

it is a sticky one for you!

Sharna

CONGRATS TIFF

Sending lots of sticky vibes your way

Just a quick post

FS rang today to confirm that bloods were back and its a definite BFP. said levels looked good YAY!!!!!!!

kind of feels weird hey??
Im pg!!! ( not sure if Im used to it yet)

Still feel like AF is going to arrive any moment IYKWIM and have found myself checking everytime i go to the loo that AF is not here ..... Sorry if TMI

Well good luck to everyone and i hope you all have a great Friday night

DH is cooking Pork chops!!! YUM!! Um can I eat them?? Sh*t does anyone know what I can and cant eat or a website to find out

hehe

Preggo Info!

Here you go hon...

Basically just make sure it's well-done...

Yay Tiff, great news!

I think you just need to stay away from sushi, right? I had German sausages tonight, soooooo good, especially here in the land of the wiener. I miss good sausages. German beer too - during AF so I figured a drink won't hurt. Have decided to have a break from charting this month so am trying to relax.

Hope you enjoy every step of the way Tiff

Tiff it is exciting and kind of surreal at the same time. I know what you mean about worring what to eat. I am not sure what Rose's link was but at the beginning of the pregnancy forum - what month are you due - there is a pinned topic on what you can eat.

The only thing i have been careful about really is pre-prepared salads (not washed properly and can have listeria) undercooked eggs (salmonella) sushi (apparently it is the rice that is the problem! cause it is prepared a day early and sits there cold) and deli meats (ham and things that arent cooked but smoked are a no no) australian soft cheeses are ok if they say on the packet that they are pastuerised.

Enjoy!

IKWYM about the AF symptoms. I think it is down to pelvic congestion and the uterus stretching. I feel like that all the time!

Well done honey!

Up nice and early to take hubby to work, then picking up my mum and dad to take them to the airport, they are off to Turkey for 3 weeks! My dad who is a kiwi has only ever been o/s once since he emigrated to Australia. I couldnt believe it when they told me they were going! NEVER thought he would get on a plane. My mum is in shock!

Have a great days ladies.

Belly rubs and baby dust!

Sharna

I know I swore I wouldn't tell anyone until 12 weeks, but I've already told 1,2,3,4,5,6...7 people at work already! I had to tell my boss, the CEO and HR straight away, because we have a situation where I'm already having to recruit my replacement. Its a looong story. Then I told two girls I'm close to, one who recently had a bub as I HAVE to be able to talk about these things! But no family until 12 weeks....they would be too emotionally attached if something did go wrong, IYKWIM??

I'm still doing that too!!! And POAS after a symptom-less day!

Tiff YAY, you're in my Due In group....though I feel a bit like Rose et al did, its pretty crowded in there!!

Re Food - I would have sent you the same place as Rose. I have printed out the coloured chart and pinned it to the fridge. Its almost painful, there's so much you can't eat! I went for a fancy schmancy dinner at the Opera House on Thurs night, and there was only ONE entree I could actually eat. DH thinks I should sue them for being discriminatory to PG women!

Elegie are you in Germany already???

Congrats Tiff!!!!!! so very happy for yiz!!!!

I tested this morning, but no luck
no AF yet so very small chance still

tiff - I still check EVERY time I wipe whih is a lot atm as I seem to have turned into a total pee machine which gets worse at night so lots of interrupted sleep happening here. Obsessive I know but I tink I have gotten into the routine. Once I have my 12 week scan I'm hoping that I will relax a bit...assuming all is well in the scan.

Telling ppl - We have only told family and one close friend. I haven't told work but we have these 'professional consultation' meetings with the principal next week. Mine is;t until friday so I am going to tell her then. I was going to tell her on the monday the week after so it's only a few days early. Not telling the rest of the staff and friends until after our scan.

Food - Most of the time I don't feel like eating much anyway so it hasn't been a problem. Hot chips and wedges, the occasional milky way (although I am off those now too!), any basic food like lasagne and salad has been ok. Anything mushy like yoghurt has to be forced down but I have it because I know its good for me.

WDYT?? - I range a friend to tell her that I couldn't come to her engagement party tonight several weeks ago. I actually told her that I was pregnant and sick and tired etc especially at night time. She was fine about it on the phone but earlier this week I got a FYI email with a poem about realising why people are in your life and why they won't be in your future. I have emailed her but got no response. She isn't one to hold a grudge but I feel like she was making a point, or maybe its just because I feel guilty?

A friend of mine had a little girl yesterday afternoon. They named her Lara. Can't wait to cuddle her sometime this weekend. I'm meant to be going with the above mentioned friend so I guess if she won't come wih me then I get my answer

Sorry for the long ramblings today....

hi everyone

would love to join this group
my dp and i have been trying for a baby for nearly 3 years, without any luck of course that bit is painful enough but at the moment we are concentrating on our wedding which happens to be on 22 march yes very very close...then after the wedding we will be going to our first fs appointment so hopefully will find out if anything is wrong in the meantime we just try the normal way until we learn any different i guess..

i am from perth, live in canning vale i am 30 my dp is 25

nice to be here and look forward to sharing our ttc jorney together...

hugs gemma
got to change my sig, somehow

Welcome Gemma,

It is a lovely group. So nice in fact that those of us who got our BFP's are staying around... nice of the buddy group to let us do that!

Best of luck for your wedding and i hope you have a lovely day. I love weddings.

Sharna

Welcome Gemma!! Are you all prepared for the wedding?

Ash - I know what you mean about yogurt. I've found its much easier to eat if you mix it with something solid - my fave is a vanilla yogurt with frozen blueberries. Leave it 5 mins, then the berries are still cold, but mix nicely through the yogurt. Mmmmm, eating some right now. And even nicer is adding a bit of Carman's museli to the mix. Helps provide....relief!

Sharna, how are you feeling? Any m/s?

Rua, are you overdue? Fingers crossed for you!

Welcome Gemma

Welcome Gemma! Best of luck with the wedding, hope it goes beautifully!

Shell - no not in Germany yet (but I booked our tickets the other day, yay!!!!). We had a german BBQ night at work, as one girl knows a German butcher.

Also booked a couple of days over Easter up north at a hot spring. I know hot baths aren't good for spermies, but it's so nice to sit in a hot hot bath outside while the snow falls down around you! and Japanese guys have hot baths every night and they still manage to have children here, so I figure it's ok...

Got the news today that our friends (the ones who suggested the shaking up & down by the legs thing...) had a (second) little girl. Very happy & a bit jealous

thanks for the kind welcome

i am mostly prepared still stressed out tomorrow is my kitchen tea so been baking and of course eating the samples..
as for the wedding just got to do church book and name tags for tables, and our music for church and what songs we want played at reception etc..
as for ttc. our story is that we have been trying for about 3 years i have tried the ovulations kits, bd ever second day (this gets tiring esp with no results ) and charting my temp, i guess the fs will do tests on me and my dp...bit nervous about the fs aptmnt i hate medical tests etc, needles..

well i am off to bed...long day tomorrow no doubt...

gemma

Congrats Tiff

Welcome Gemma, I too am about to start out with a FS. Our first appt is 30th April but we have heaps of tests to be done before then. I'm not bothered but DH is a bit nervous.

welcome gemma

the girls are lovely in here, nice to be able to talk to other people in the ttc group, and those that have fallen preg, let us know what we can expect when it happens for us.

congrats tiff, big news....

well af arrived again, so back to the drawing board.

tilly

tilly - sorry to hear AF arrived. The positive is that it's bringing you another day closer to when you'll get a BFP.

oz - what kind of tests do you have to have done?

RM - are you around and how are you feeling?

Matilda Sorry the witch is here.

AshDH has to have a sperm analysis done. I have to have hormone levels done and an internal ultrasound. Then we have our appointment and maybe a laparoscopy.

Had my second ultrasound today. Our baby died

DnC Tuesday night

So sorry Cherry hope you are doing ok.

Cherry I'm so sorry to hear about your U/S. Please take care of yourself .

So sorry to hear that Cherry My thoughts are with you

Oz Hope you get your test results soon!

Welcome Gemma!

Not much to report here... yet again, am certain that I've O'd, but my temps are going down instead of up. If I calculate correctly I should be 3dpo today but my temps are not cooperating at all.

Cherry, I'm so sorry. Hope everything goes OK tonight

Me - I am starting to really freak out and think I'm not pregnant any more. Everyone around me keeps saying "you'll be fine" "stop worrying", but I can't help it, I just know something is wrong. My symptoms are diminishing, rather than increasing, and I had terrible pains in the lower abdomen last night. So I went for another blood test, to check my HCG levels are still high. Will get the results this afternoon hopefully.

Cherry - Im so sorry hun My thought are with you in this time.

Shell- hold on girl, you may be just lucky that you symptons arnt going to be really strong. let us know how your HCG test comes back. Im for you.

Not much happening at my eny of the woods really. Had my second set of bloods come yesterday and all is looking ok. first scan is booked for April 2nd at 11am. Cant wait!!!!

Take care everyone

baby dust and belly rubs to all !!!!!

cherry - so sorry to hear

shell - I'm sure the results will be fine. I have moments every single day when I feel worried. I have plenty of symptoms but I still worry myself sick...literally

Cherry thinking of you today hon.

Shell I get cramps, AF symptoms, and am constantly worring also. You will be ok. It is normal to stress but try to relax abit. I hope your HCG levels are fantastic!

Rose, Rose where are you?

Sorry to hear about AF Tilly, but as was said, one day closer to getting your BFP.

Sorry i dont have personals for everyone but i have been exhausted lately. Working too much and alot of stress going on there too.

Have a few days off now and will catch up then.

Take care,

Sharna

oh cherry, my thoughts are with you and dh at this time, there is nothing i can say that will help you guys thru this, remember, just drop a line when ever you like, we are all here with open ears and heart.

tilly xx

af over now, so going to actually really try this month with the ovulation kits.

Hi All

Sorry for being MIA - I was just too depressed to be online... I wasn't dealing with it too well it seems...

But I think that DH chased me down with the happy stick and I am much better now....

Oh Cherry I really feel for you sweet...

Welcome Gemma....

Don't stress Rose... I was fine (well, I thought so) straight after mine, but fast foward a month and I was a mess!

Glad you are feeling better

Thanks Leaky... Yeah - I was not good at all... But it was really weird because within the space of 5 minutes, it was like a switch was flicked... that probably doesn't make a lot of sense... but that was the difference between depressed and "happier"(not happy mind you)....

Thank you all for all your kind words... It's no wonder no one actually "leaves" the group after getting their BFP!! Why would you when the ladies here are so supportive???

Hello. Not sure if i should be in this forum ?? maybe or maybe not. I am embarking on TTC #1. I only just came of the pill 2 weeks ago and trying to prep body, hoping my bodies natural functions remember how to work without prompting. I all new to this stuff and not sure really what to expect but hoping it wont be 2 long for things to take place. Would just love to interact with ppl going through same thing.
