I have been ttc for the first month and have af due on the 24th so will have 3-4 days to find out. Pains in both ovaries a tiny tiny bit so maybe I ovulated from both this time, that would be great, twins. Just joking I only have one baby at a time.

Hi everyone

Hope your all well and have survived the "Holiday" season well!!!!

Sorry I don't contribute much, but I am often here - lurking - just to make sure you're all OK and to hopefully see some BFP's....... not too many new ones, but I am sure 2005 is going to be a good year.....

We are off to my OB on the 2nd of Feb hopefully to get the go ahead for TTC again, it has been over 18 months since our girls were born and passed over, and it's been a long hard 18 mths, but I am so ready for this or as ready as I've very been...... EB has helped heaps, just knowing you girls are with me helps so much, I don't feel so alone...... I am also reading a book called "Pregnancy After Loss", which is fantastic, it's american and the quickest way to get it was from Amarzon (I'll post author later tonight), but it is so comforting, the girl who wrote it also had a loss, but went on to have 2 healthy boys, and she is a Journalist, so it is written well......

Just had a quick look at last thread & wanted to say congrats Kim and 2nd June is a good EDD - my Birthday..... keep well

Hedley - sorry AF arrived, it's a b@$(@%d

Good luck mums the word......

Well I'll keep in touch to let you all know what happened with OB..... scared he's going to say loose more weight sad.gif

Hi Ladies

Well I had my scan today and everything was great apart from taking ages and the pressing on my belly trying to get the bugger in a good position.

We thought that we were going to miss out on finding out what we were having but at the last minute it decided to turn and ................................

Lilly is getting a Little Baby Sister

Yes it is another GIRL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her name will be Charlize Olivia.

Everything was good but I will be having scans every 4 weeks to check on growth which I am really excited about.

We didn't great shots of her face as she was being stubborn and kept putting her hands in front of her face. I will post some photos when I get a chance.

I hope everyone is doing okay.

Hi girls. I think this charting is messing with my brain! Remembering to take my temp, putting data into FF, counting days ... aarrrggghhh! I'm becoming obsessed!

I've had the worst week emotionally. I've been on the verge of tears all week. I seem to be in this depressed state constantly. I hate the world, everything is unfair, I want my little girl back. I think I should take myself back to the counsellor and have another chat with them. This is no way to live.

I hope you're all doing well. Sorry about the self-absorbed me post blush.gif. Love to everyone x

hi girls, hope all is well, gosh we're a little quiet in here at the moment, aren't we.

Kim congrats on a little girl, the name is lovely.

Cass, i know exactly where you're coming from, i find the closer i track my cycle, the more obssessed i become and when af arrives, i start mourning for a couple of days. 2005 i've decided to step back and whatever happens, happens. yeah, this is in theory, i'll probably be a wreck again next month.

Tina, are you lurking - what's happening girl.

Hello all. Congrats Kim on a little girl.



I tested today as my temp was 36.8 this morning and its supposed to be af today and nope not here.

















IM PREGNANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sharuth
CONGRATULATIONS mums the word!!!!!!!!!! I am soooo happy for you. May it be a VERY long and uneventful pregnancy for you.

Nothing exciting her happening. We are about to emback on yet another BD fest though! I have my appointment at the specialist in 8 days....and counting.
I am still taking Vitex and hoping that again it will make my cycle that little bit shorter. I have once again (due to holidays) fallen short of buying OPK's on ebay. As I will need so many I want to get them there. Ok so if nothing this month "I WILL" be going and getting them on Ebay.

Sorry this is short and no personals.....I have to go out soon and I get a little caught up on here sometimes.

Ok so I am back.....I have a question.

Does anyone get those "fake kicks" and "movement". The over the last 4 dayish I have had two times where I got the "fake" movement/kick. I was just wondering how long it usually goes on for after a stillbirth?!
After I had Amey I had them for a while but only for like a couple of months "MAX."

Please note I am not trying to read anything into this. As by now I would have thought I would "know" if I was pg or not. Although it would be a great way to explain that waist wink.gif

Hi Everyone

It has been a long time since I posted. But I have been checking in every week or so to see how you all are going. I needed to take a break from it all and stop obsessing over TTC. To those of you who are pregnant CONGRATULATIONS especially to Mums the Word on your exciting news. Sandy, I have been following your "babys first site" constantly, COngrats on 30 weeks!!!!! To all the newbies I am sorry you had to be a part of this group but I am glad you have found some support and understanding original.gif And as for those of you still TTC 2005 will be the year for sure!!! I have a good feeling about this year.

I am still TTC and it has been 6 months trying and over 8 months since I lost my little girl Asha at 29 weeks. Of course I still cry often but I have come to terms with a lot of things and havent felt this good since I was pregnant. I am seeing a psychologist and she has been really helpful. I am have also been having blood tests to check that I am ovulating and when. I am eating healthily and exercising. So I really feel I am doing everything I possibly can.

Sharon - I know what u mean about the fake kicks thing. I still get them all the time, and it freaks me out a little. Sometimes I imagine that maybe I am pregnant and quite far along and just dont know. Now thats hopeful thinking!!! I WISH!! Hope you are doing ok.

Anyways just wanted to reconnect with u all. Best wishes and lots of postive vibes going out to you all.

2 weeks and one day, thats all I would have had to wait for Jamie to have been born. Its hard isnt it. I would have had him at 38 weeks and so it wouldnt have been long now, I would be huge by now and suffering heartburn and snoring etc. I wish. At least now things are happier knowing a new life is growing inside me, I am not scared yet. I am just enjoying knowing a beautiful little baby is in my tummy snug and warm and alive. I am so very happy and blessed about that.

COngrats Mums the world - Lucky yOU! It didnt take long.

Sharon - good luck wth the appointment.

Hedley - I so know how you feel. It has been 7 months for me and nothing. I have had enough of it too. I so wish it would happen and give me somehting to look forward to.

two of my friends had babies on the weekend, both girls so i was happy that they were girls and not boys. Made me sad though wishing it was me. Not a lot else is happening for me. I ovulated 4 days ago and we only BD on ovulation day so I dont think I have much chance. I am off to queensland in 11 days whihc is something to look forward to.

Good luck everyone

Hi Everyone

Hope you have had a good Australia Day. I ate way too much but you get that..... I was a bad girl and at 10 DPO, I tested this afternoon and I was so sure it was going to be my month but no, another BFN. (of course there is still that little bit of hope that it is just too early). I am p*ss*d off, so I am going to make myself a nice drink and try to forget about it for now (wishful thinking).

Good luck for your appointments Janene and Sharon.

Morning girls, i had a terrible Aus Day yesterday, my little c*ckatiel died last night. I know it sounds pathetic but i had him for 12 years, even before i met DH, so he was a part of my family. Didn't sleep last night and feel a little emotionally exhausted, not even upset anymore, just drained. Anyway that's my sob story for the day.
Congrats mums the word - hope your 9 months flies without any hiccups.

CD 7 today, so BDing will begin again this weekend I suppose. Lets hope something sticks this month.

I have tears in my eyes feeling so sad for you girls who deserve your little babies so much. I couldnt believe it happened so fast either alexsmum, all month I was taking the pregnancy vitamins, blackmores so do you think maybe because my body had the stores it helped??? Dont know, I didnt think I would be so blessed and I feel so much pain at heart for your still waiting for your little ones. I hope it wont take too long now and just wanted to say thanks and to give my support, your not forgotten, Im thinking of you all.

Hey girls, well i'm back from my appt with the OB and he's booked me in for a laproscopy on Tuesday. He's just a little worried that maybe i got an infection after the caesar or my tubes are blocked or something. It was a shock, but now i'm glad someone's looking into it a bit more - i think 7 months is quite sometime, especially considering that af is regular and i'm ovualating regularly. so hopefully this time next week, we might have a good idea if something is wrong or not. DH also has to have a sperm count test just to see everything is ok with him, which he isn't happy about - well i'd rather know now than go on like this for another 6 months.

This also means i'm out for this month as the surgery is on the day i'll probably O.

ANyway hope you all have a great weekend

Hi everyone, I'm newish here and I've just read all of your messages - it's so wonderful to not feel alone and not feel like a total phsyco obsessed with getting pregnant. Congratulations to mums the word (I just can't wait until we all of similar stories to tell). My baby girl (Kate) was only born 12 weeks ago (stillborn at 39 weeks) and I've already started trying again - I just have to have a baby in my arms. Luckily I recoved really well - already back to pre-baby weight and eating and excercising really well.
Does anyone have any TTC tips for me (I'e never really tried to get pregnant before - we weren't trying we I fell pregnant with Kate so it's all a bit foreign to me.
I am taking Elevit multi vitamins and basically trying to get my partner to "do the do" on ovulation day and for the 3-4 days leading up to o day (is this about right???) - I've also stopped taking any caffine and alcohol.
I would appreciate any other tips.


Love to all of you and your angles.

Hedley - I will looking out to see how you go next week. At least as you say things are being looked at. I hope there are answers there for you.

Ali - Sounds like you are doing all the right things there. I would say that you have it all covered. You would use OPK's just to make the BD fest a bit more accurate.

HI everyone!
it's been a while since i last posted in here.... have been having a lurk though, when I can.
The Due in July group just dont stop!!! I am struggling to just read their posts, let alone actually adding any of my own!
Sandy, I am soooo sorry I missed Pipers anniversary day. I think of you and Laci all the time... cant wait to hear about Laci's safe arrival (but I will wait, if I HAVE to LOL)
Hedley - best of luck with your surgery - it must be daunting for you, but finally, they are doing something a little more involved to help you. I am really sorry to hear about your c0ckatiel - Vince had Nancy, his c0ckatoo for about 16 years, and he was devastated when she died, too.
To everyone else... I really hope your ttc journeys are not too long. hugs and STICKY vibes to each and every one of you.

How is everyone else?

I have nothing exciting happening here. I that appointment tomorrow but thats about it. Amey is going to be "sleeping over" for the first time tonight. I know she will be fine but I cant say I will be. Although I wouldnt have seen her till the morning anyway its just nice to know that shes in the same house safe and sound where I can hear her if she needs her mummy....*snif snif*

HI everyone

Just wanted to wish Hedley goodluck for tomorrow! I hope that everything goes ok. are they doing anything else? when i had mine they did a d&c and dye test while I was under.

Not a lot happening for me, I am 10 dpo and I am getting my hopes up way to much. My chart is completely different to last month, I have so (.Y.)'s and I did a crystal clear HPT today and got a very very faint line. I have heard that you can get evap lines on these so will have to test again in a few days. ARGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I hate this! I am sooooo over it!

Tina, sweetie, they are only evaporation lines if they show up after about 10 minutes.

Did you get your faint line in the 5 minutes they say? If you did then it sounds like you are with child!!

I got very faint lines with both Benjamin and Corinne. With this one I had a dark line in the arvo then the next morning it was really faint.

Has it faded to a darker line now?

Oooh, I am sooooooo excited for you preshy. You've waited a long time darls and you have been so patient.

I really hope this is if for you this month.

Well, I can finally go on the TTC list offically...... Yesterday we received the AOK from OB...... he's very happy with my weight loss and thinks if we are careful we should have a good outcome........
The chances of me having pre eclampsia again are about 30%, but he feels if we have a singleton it would be lower and I shouldn't get it as early if I get it at all..... the chances of having a fit (eclampsia) again are about 1%, again if it's single chances are better..... this means if I fall with twins again we will have to discuss a (I think this is the right term) fetal reduction..... I hope this doesn't happen.... twins scare me now....

So the BD fest is on..... I only just came off the pill so will wait 'til next AF before counting my days...... Silly question girls but how is all this counting etc done?.... I've never actually been on the TTC trail before........

We are off to Hawaii on the 1st March so I am hoping we can really start then......

Hedley - good to see you are feeling well, mixed emotions and all

Sharon - What is clomid, I hear this all the time but not sure what it is.... what would be the best outcome for the swimmers test???? Hope it all goes well....

Tina - how are you today, I still have my fingers crossed for you, try not to loose heart

Lori - I hope the High risk doctor can help answer all your questions

I will PM Sandy to change my status on the list.... God I hope it doesn't take too long, as my OB said I'm not getting any younger!!!!

Just thought I would pop in to say hi. There doesnt seem to be many of us chatting at the moment. I hope thats because there is lots of BDing happening.

Hi all, Sharon, yes we are quiet in here at moment. I actually think it's because there have been a lot of BFP's in her over last couple of months, so now there's only a few of us left. I suppose that's a good thing, but i'm hoping to move onto the other "pregnancy" thread this year also.

Tina - hope you have a great time, i'm in qld, you should have let me know where you're going, we could have caught up for coffee.

Littleman - look how gorgeous your bub is, great to see you pop in once and a while.

I'm off to this holistic guy at lunch to see if he has any miracles for me - fingers crossed. Will let you know how i go.

Hedley – Your right that is the reason why there aren’t many of us here now. I hope also to be going over to the pregnancy thread as well. Cant wait!!!
Let us know how you go at the holistic guy. Id be really interested to see what happened.

Hey Sharon, went to the dude yesterday and he's an acupuncturist who specialises in fertility - so i go acupuncture yesterday which was a bit different. He says that his success rate is 60% of customers fall in the first month while the remaining 40% are usually pregnant by the fourth month. Well we'll just wait and see - i have to see him again this Friday. I also go back to the OB on friday who will tell me the results of DH's sperm test. I'm presuming that if they were bad, he would have contacted me by now.

I must admit, i'm wanting AF to come early so we can start TTC again, i'm excited about it funnily enough.

Congratulations Sandy on the birth of your daughter Laci. She is just gorgeous and bringing you so much love and joy and pride. I am so happy for you.

I would need to be taken off the pregnant list and put back in ttc please. Heres hoping all goes better next cycle, It was just too good to be true. Yoyo emotions at the moment.
Love to you all.

Hedley - That is great! I hope that its quick from now on in. How was accupunture though? I have heard of ppl using it for bringing on labor but not to sure if I could do it at all.

Katrina - That sucks! I am sorry to hear that you are back here. I hope your stay is just as short as last time though.
