Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

[Mum 2 Quigley]

yeah, actually...the pulling feeling is probably a better description. It didn't feel like it was the same spot as AF cramps...like not so much near my ovaries, but more like in my mid abdomen...but right down low.

the more i try to explain it, the more crazy I sound to myself...clutching at straws much?? lol

 

[Trying2b2mums]

Hopefully there's enough straws for both of us!!!

But location and description sounds like mine, as well as the way others have described their implantation. so if its possible to grasp and cross my fingers at the same time....

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

I think you can do it!!!!

Hi everyone. I know I'm chiming in late but better than never! I'm from Brisbane. It's nice seeing Aussies on here. So many americans talking about medications and other things that just aren't available here.
Yay for Aussie mums.

Hi Giddy and Lisa

LLPM - glad to hear that you LO is alright and it's just a matter of time Hope you get some more good news in terms of a BFP very soon!

The type of cramps I had were very similar to AF - but not quite the same. I'm not sure if they're actual implantation cramps though since I started getting them on 8DPO and I got my BFP the next day? So seems a bit quick for the hcg to be in my system from implanting?

Anyway, tomorrow AF is officially due and I'm so nervous! No spotting today though which is a great sign since I usually spot for at least one day before AF.

Hope you ladies don't mind me hanging around, it's just so nice to have an aussie group and I don't feel ready to really participate in any pregnancy type threads yet.

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Hey Giddy! You found us!

I agree - nothing at all against americans, but every time I see a new drug I'm like 'oohhhh cool...where do I get that' and it's never available here, I get too confused. lol

2Mums - it'll be so nice for you to be pregnant...it's such an effort for you to have to plan for it! It will be nice to sit back & relax! On the other hand, at least you only have to be intimate with your partner when you both feel like it...sometimes I feel like my poor DH thinks im just using him for his spermies! hahaha

I just re-read that...sounds like I'm making intimacy a chore.....that's not what I mean! I'm sure you all get it though! lol

 

[Trying2b2mums]

Ginny - your BFP from this cycle?? Sounds very promising, fx she stays away!!!! yay for you!!!! and i think - more the merrier!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Yeah Ginny, stay here for sure! It's nice to have you here just to chat even if you're not in TWW! I'm sure you'll be fine with AF being due...she wouldn't dare show up!

OOhhhh that makes me excited, cos I was expecting AF any time from sunday...masybe I will get my BFP tomorrow!

Actually, come to think of it...I normally feel a little bloated & uncomfortable before my period, but never actually have cramps until the day of...so hopefully it's good for me to have my cramping before my flow!

 

[ginny83]

yep - this was my 3rd cycle after my miscarriage, so I feel very lucky but very anxious at the same time.

Thank you, will be nice after all the time, money, and effort we put in, its hard not being able to just go to the bedroom and try, but I know what you mean, well.... hahaha, no but from reading others posts, i do sometimes feel sorry for the DHs, it must be hard for them to be ready on command. I hope it our month mum 2!!!

 

[LLPM]

Yep the more the merrier! I'm also not Aussie, I moved from the UK in 2007, but now have citizenship!
Yeah I've been saying this week will either be awesome (good news for Maggie & a BFP) or totally rubbish, both bad news! So we'll see...

 

[Trying2b2mums]

LLMP - halfway there!!! sounds good for you this month, fx!!!

Ginny- so excited for you

and Mum 2- still sounds great for you, and since our symptoms are similar, im hoping for me too, just to be a bit selfish--the american in me, hahaha!!!

more for us all!!!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Haha, nothing wrong with wanting it for yourself! Anyone here who says they're not is lying through their teeth!! So do you pay the donor? or is other costs involved?

Ginny, how long did you try before you conceived before miscarriage? Had you told many people that you were pregnant before you lost it? It makes me sad to see when it happens *hugs for you*

 

[Pauls_angel]

Ginny - I'm glad you're sticking around... some of the other threads are great but because most of the ladies live OS you often post something and don't get a reply until the middle of the night or next morning I'm so happy we've got a nice little group of Aussies (and welcome ring ins) here ... fx for all of you fending off AF... may she stay away!

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

thanks angel! and I hope your Ov is strong this month! a nice egg on the look out for a little sperm!!

 

[Trying2b2mums]

Angel- I'm sending big, strong, and happy egg thoughts to you as well!!

Mum 2- We compensate him for his petrol, that is it (as its illegal to actually pay for the donation) We rent accommodation near to him and cover all our costs and provide him with what he needs, and then like I said just cover his petrol, generously, this cycle for example, we saw him 5 times in 4 days and it was $300-$400-- he drives a huge SUV, has 4 kids to fit in it, hahaha. (plus our petrol $200, food while we're away $100, our home insemination kit was $175, and the accommodation for the 4 nights was $525 this time) So it adds up,(we're on cycle #8) like I said sometimes it would be nice to just be able to go to our own bedroom and ttc. But at this point, still cheaper than IVF, I think....

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Yeah, I thought that. It'a a good way of going about it though, so it's like more of a business relationship. His partner must be a great woman, it takes a special person to be ok with that!

are you allowed both of your names on the birth certificate? or does the bio dad have to appear? and does he have any rights as a father?
