Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

While I'm hoping to stay at home it may by hubby that has to as well as I earn a fair bit more - his wage barely covers the mortgage at the moment! He loves kids but babies freak him out a little - maybe cos he is 6'4" - he does want a bubba but I think he'd go a bit crazy on his own all day at home! He is hoping to re-train as a tafe teacher though which would mean maybe I can stay at home - depends on if he can get a job... so many unknowns - trying not to think too much about that end of things just yet and worry about falling pregnant for now :) We all know it has enough worries all of its own!
 
Haha 2mums the charting obsession has started already...lol!!
 
Im finding it very hard to keep up with the lot too, but loving the amount of women in this thread, so much support... so thanks for all the updates, im getting excited for everyone!!! :happydance:

(been having cramps/twinges that are definitely more centered than AF cramps, but still feel like they'd be to the right side of uterus, that area at least- now all thats in my mind is ectopic preg, bc someone was talking about it in another thread and of course now my brain cant leave it alone):dohh:
 
My day is going ok... although I am off work sick... I have a sinus infection and am on antibiotics... it has been very restful though - watching chick flicks and chilling out on the lounge :)

What does everyone do for work? I am a primary school teacher - I teach Year 2 and have 19 lovely children in my class - 11 boys and 8 girls :)

IT Manager.

Oh 2mums! It's so hard not to wonder about the what ifs! The other night I had really bad cramping on the right side (where my tubes would be I guess?!) not in the middle but not in my ovaries! (I know exactly where my ovaries are - I've had so many ultrasounds in the last 2years - I had a complex cyst removed from my left ovary last July!) I freaked out thinking it could be ectopic but thinking more about it, I was 4dpo and it was probably the egg (hopefully fertilized!!) moving down the tube! Try to be positive and not stress - we can't help all the awful things that happen! Fx'd it's just a tiny little embryo moving down to get implanted!! :)
 
Thank you Ll, it is so hard not to let your mind run crazy and get the better of you... Im trying to stay positive, and if AF doesnt come next week, i'll get a blood test and then I think my gp will also let me go in for ultrasound to see if they can see anything in the wrong place. But until then, anything is possible :shrug:

Getting out of the house for awhile, taking my furry children to the dog park, bc between this wait and waiting to hear about the job, im going crazy!!! :wacko:

I dont know about any of you, but since i've moved to aussie land i've gotten obsessed with NRL, so im excited for the footy tonight and this weekend to take my mind away too!!!
 
2mums... we have fur kids too - 2 kelpie cross doggies and one little kitty who thinks he is a bit of a dog too :)

I used to follow NRL until I met hubby who is Rugby Union obsessed and said (jokingly of course) no wife of mine will be watching league! I still like it but rarely watch it any more - I have been converted to a union girl :)
 
Wow there has been plenty going on here!!!

Here's hoping the weekend flies past and drops some lively little eggs & rolls in some beautiful pink BFP's!

It seems we are over due for another one now then :)

I think its going to be a long week for me.... (even having slept half of the first tww away already lol).

I am so praying this is the cycle for us...i know its only #4 attempt, and others, including others here have been trying for longer, but it is just SO hard to have to wait now that we have finally decided that we are ready!!!

Patience patience...lol
 
Hi Ladies,

I've had a busy morning cleaning the house. Finally finished so I can enjoy my weekend yay!! I am 9 dpo still trying to hold off from testing but only have two more days & then I will. Haven't really had symptoms today but it could be because I'll had a busy morning cleaning & running around after my daughter. Who thinks its funny to chase the dogs & cat around the house.

I hope you all having a great day!
 
Hi girls - you may remember me telling you about my friend going through ivf who was having her scan today... Anyway she just sent me a text to say all is well and that they have a healthy 6week old embryo with a heart beat of 150bpm! So happy for them - 5th round ivf - really praying she can carry it full term now!

That is wonderful news to end the week with :)

Have a great weekend all - let's hope for some more good positive test results over the weekend! Who's testing this weekend? Anyone?
 
that's wonderful news Angel! I really hope her little bean sticks around for another 34 weeks or so!

Has she made it to this stage before with any of the other rounds?
 
Hi girls!

I have to go out tonight, a friends BBQ, not too keen, but will have fun while there. I thought I'd just check in with my new friends tho! lol

that's a good link from Newbie, but I did read in my FF training that it's better to avoid adjusting temps. It's easier for FF to interpret the correct data when you just enter all of the details (including correct time etc)

2Mums - don't be worried about ectopic pregnancy...my mum had one, she said it was the most excruciating pain ever and bright red bleeding...you will know if it's happening! try not to think about the bad things, it will consume you!

Angel - WOW!!! congratulations to your friend! fxed for her that she will carry it full term - she will be fine, I'm sure!!

I'm at the same place as LLPM - I thought I Ov'd around the 6th - FF picked it up on the 20th...so here I am back to the start of tww...I have been feeling lots of aches & pains , fairly crampy, very tired, but haven't been sleeping very well, so not looking too much into it. Also been feeling sick...threw up in the shower this morning. yuk! I dunno if that's because of the tiredness too though...

I'm feeling like I'm getting all of these symptoms and it's silly being too early, but then I think what if I am preg, and my 'ovulation' temp rise was just me jumping up in my tww and staying high cos I'm preggy?

I think that's just wishful thinking, but I'm just really wanting AF to show up now and not to have to wait another week or so!!!

have a great night girls!

and by the way, I really love talking to everyone on here, there is always someone on, so it doesn' tseem like a pointless waste of time commenting on threads just for the sake of getting a response... it's good to have someone to talk to all the time! and so good that there is such a mix of people here too!
 
As expected I'm out of the running for this month as AF arrived this morning, 1 day early. Onwards and upwards for the August round!
 
Maddy - sorry that you're out :(

Mum2 - It can be hard to interpret a chart if you're staring half away through, so try not to worry too much about it. Hopefully you'll get your BFP and won't need to temp next cycle anyway, but otherwise you'll be able to see what a full cycle looks like.

Regarding the adjusting, sometimes I adjusted - but it was within an hour of usual waking time I just left it. Charting is good but you need it with something else - cm checking or OPKs or something else. Even then I'd get EWCM after O sometimes too!


AFM - I'm going to the movies tonight with a couple of girlfriends. We're having cocktails before hand, so I'm going to try and order a mocktail without them noticing. I'm not a big drinker anyway so it's not that usual for me not to drink, but since we're specifically going for a cocktail I think they'll be a bit suss if I only have a soft drink.
 
that's wonderful news Angel! I really hope her little bean sticks around for another 34 weeks or so!

Has she made it to this stage before with any of the other rounds?

2 tries ago my friend got a bfp but had lost it before her scan - she was so disappointed - am so happy that she is already half way through her first trimester this time round with a healthy bub in her womb :)

Enjoy your nights out ladies! Ginny I'm sure you can get away with a mock tail - are you driving - you could use that excuse if you are and just have one mocktail :) we have friends coming for dinner tonight so I'm about to get stuck into cooking... Chicken cacciatore for dinner and lemon meringue pie for dessert :)

I've had lots of EWCM today so think I might get that temp rise tomorrow :)

Oh Maddy I'm sorry that you're out for July! Yay for August though - hopefully it will be your bfp month!
 
Angel- we have two lil furry girls, a shitzhu/maltese 3 yr old, and shitzhu/poodle 9 months. And my fat cat, brought her over from the states with me, she's my love!!!(9yrs) I love the NRL, lucky for me we are an NRL house, I dont understand union, or AFL at all!! But the Olympics are going to out shine all!!! :happydance: Enjoy your O :sex: hahaha, much stickiness to you!!!!!!
So so so happy for your friend, hoping her lil angel sticks this time, she deserves it, having to go through all those IVF cycles, great news and thanks for sharing, gives me hope!!!

Newbie- being on cycle #8, i understand the impatience, its so hard when you are ready and want the family!!! :wacko:

Lisa- good luck with holding off POAS, I'm in the same boat, and with each day and each 'symptom' it gets harder to wait!! :dohh:

2woohoo- im trying to wait a whole more week til testing, but may on Sunday morning before partner goes back to work, but will all depend how I feel this weekend, most likely I'll test next friday - start of our weekend!!

Mum2Q- enjoy your night, once your out there it will be fun!!! Thanks for ectopic news, i'll push it out my brain at once!! And fx for you, that those symptoms mean a BFP this month!!! :happydance:

Maddy- sorry to hear darl, but sending you happy sticky egg thoughts for next Ov!!

Ginny- you'll be fine with your mocktail, tell them you drank last night hahaha, or like Angel said you're driving. Enjoy the movies though, what did you see???

We're having spaghetti with tuscan meatballs, salad, and choccy ice cream for dessert- a great friday night footy meal. Didn't hear from the job, but not too crushed about it, we think its for the best in the end. (still having twinges, but no where near ovaries and not AF type, I get horrible AF cramps, but shes not sure for 4-5days from now)
 
WOW hello everybody!! You have all been very very chatty today :) I have missed heaps yet again hehe...

I am so happy for your friend angel that must be so exciting :) :hugs:

I really hope everybody has a great night tonight with all that they are doing :)

Ginny Mocktails are great hehe Nobody will know the difference :hugs:

I haven't read through everything but hereshow I am feeling at the moment...

STILL NO AF!!! Had little butterfly cramps in my lower stomach but they have gone now! I was convinced that She was on the way because I felt 'wet' down there but nothing! Still convinced I am not pregnant but will see! Will keep testing 'till she arrives :happydance: "my IC came in the mail yesterday so hehehehe POAS ADDICT!!!!

hugs to all you wonderfull ladies xxxx
