Hey girlies,

Moon, I'll be praying for ya (or my equivalent anyway) sorry it's rough, Stella is just fine, squirming away like a lil squirmy thing lol.

Left glad your doing well hope your gd test goes well, I'm still on rationed sugary things but I had apple pie and cream at lunch today yummy!

Starry I know it must be super hard for you, we'll all be hear for you and in 6 months time you'll wonder what you worried about.

Unexpected don't count yourself out just yet, still a squinter it could just still be early, I do hope it darkens for you, but I know only too well how painful it is to have the hope.

Kat glad your feeling good about time away, you do hear the story sooo often about it happening when you stop trying tho it's very annoying when people tell you that lol

To everyone else much love.

I'm exhausted again today, I went out for a lovely lunch with my folks, and I went over to my parents and put my pram together! I was delivered in the week and I love it, and the car seat too so now I can bring her home just need to get the car fixed now lol
I started drinking raspberry leaf tea aswell it doesn't taste too bad, I figure 2 or 3 cups a day and we'll see, I'll never know if it helps as I won't have not used it if that makes sense, I'm also borrowing a friends TENS machine I figure I may as well try everything lol
I'm soooo ready for her to come now I just want a lil Stella cuddle!
 
I try not to complain about pregnancy stuff here. I just worry that it's all for nothing. But trying to stay positive.

pink - it really isn't all that much longer until Stella will be here. She'll come when she's ready.
 
Hi ttcmoon! Yes my rational brain tries to keep me in check, but the irrational/emotional/wants-another-baby-so-bad part of me will grasp at any little thing to keep my hopes up. ;) Thanks for the kind words. Sorry the meds don't aren't working as well as everyone would like. Praying for you. <3

Hi left! Thanks for the hugs. :hugs: Glad you're doing great. Hope you don't find the drink for the GD test too yucky. I was worried about having to choke it down and I didn't think it was too bad really.

Thanks starry. <3 Hope you're feeling better soon and that in a couple of weeks you are breathing a sigh of relief. Sounds miserable right now. :hugs: I don't know if I've thrown up since childhood, but if I had to throw up even now, I think I'd still want my momma to hold my hair back!

Unexpected, so sorry for the BFN. I had high hopes! I have had several ICs that don't have a line with color but you can still see a "line" at certain angles where the line WOULD be if there was one. This most recent batch of ICs I got don't do that, but silly me--last couple of days I find myself wishing I had something to look at even if it's not a real line! I suppose it could still be early even with a frer so I will keep on hoping til the witch rears her ugly head.

Hi Kat, thanks for making me feel like I'm not actually crazy, haha! :hugs: It is totally yours and garfie's turn, so come on rainbows, get in their bellies! All our bellies for that matter! Good luck with the last of your meds and your at-home insems. It would be so so awesome if this did the trick! Glad you are enjoying your time away from the fertility office. Seems like that place kinda sucked your joy, even apart from the obvious hating that you have to be there. Time off from that may be just what the doctor ordered. :thumbup:

Pink, sounds like an exhausting day but a fun and exciting one. I've heard that the TENS machine is basically like magic, haha.

AFM, 11 dpo, another BFN this morning. I know I should wait longer after testing yesterday but I figure this is why I just buy ICs, haha. No symptoms today either way. AF due probably Tuesday.

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend. <3
 
Eyemom, I'm so sorry you got a bfn :( What's the plan for next cycle?

AFM, though we're taking a break from the fertility office, we're still going to try at home again with the syringe. I'm tracking my ovulation using the Clearblue system again. Today is CD 10 and I got my first blinking smiley. Last time I got 3 days of blinking smiley before I got a solid smiley, so I'll assume I have at least one more day of blinking before we should try the syringe at-home insem.
 
I don't know, I guess I need to think about that. Dr said after a couple of cycles after the hsg, next would be meds or iuis. I think I may want to ask about a couple more tests though first. So I may ask about doing some more blood work in the next cycle while giving it one more try. Then try either the meds or iui (I'm somewhat inclined to try meds first but I'll need to ask more questions). Feels weird to do meds when I've always ovulated on my own. But maybe it'd help with egg quality if that's the issue?

I just wish I knew what was going on. Last pregnancy, I conceived on just the second cycle of trying. So how come it just quit working? Meds or IUIs might work, but it feels so much like just throwing a bunch of stuff and hoping something sticks.

Good luck Kat!
 
Kat just a thought but both times I've fallen pg , we DTD min of 2 days before ov . I read somewhere that the little spermy being inside for at least 12-24 hours prior to meeting the egg gives them a better chance for insemination as they have to go through some transformation to be viable ?? Was in a doc I watched on u-tube . Might be worth a deposit before ya get a solid face ????
 
Left, yup, that's the plan! Since I got three days of blinking smiley last time, I know I have at least one more day of blinking smiley. I figured we'd start the insem tomorrow night. I don't want to use his "good" batch too early and have them all die off before I ovulate, ya know? It seriously takes him a few days to "recharge" so I figure tomorrow is better than today. I think I might ovulate Thursday, so really, Tuesday is the Best Night for his Best Swimmers. Hrm...I'll think it over. Though sperm "can" live for "up to" 5 days inside a woman's body, I think most are done after two. Since I'm not a spring chickie anymore, I need as many viable sperm as possible to hit that egg on ovulation day. So maybe Monday/Wednesday is my best bet.
 
I should be on the same schedule as you this month Kat, if my cycle returns to normal (and not last months crazy long one!). I'm guessing I'll ovulate Thursday or Friday. Trying to get the timing right---DH can't perform too many nights in a row (we're old!) Think we'll try Monday and Wednesday and see how Thursday goes too. DS has the stomach flu, so hoping we don't get it too---yuck.
 
Dang! There is so much to catch up on! I'll do personals tomorrow, I promise.

Just wanted to say I'm feeling much better emotionally. I really have this feeling that everything will be ok. I saw an episode of Grey's Anatomy where the main character Merideth wasn't able to have kids, so she adopted. And the look on her face when they finally got the little girl......well it was just so joyful. So I started thinking about adoption, and how I'd totally be ok with that. It gives me a peace of mind to know I have more options. My husband is kinda diggin the idea too. But first things first. Back surgery! Can't come soon enough!
 
es, my niece and nephew are adopted. after 11 years of trying my sister decided that's what she needed to do to be a mom. about 3 years after bringing those wonderful kids into our lives, she asked me why the hell nobody talked to her about adoption sooner. she's happy they tried everything they did, but she wishes she had been more open to adoption about 5 years sooner. they are beautiful children and part of a blissful happy family. I encourage thinking about it. fertility issues are common with myself and all my sisters so dh and I had discussed it as an option after my miscarriage.
 
Eswemba, I am glad you are feeling better. You are just as much as much of a mom if not more to children who you take into your home. You are doing something extra special if that is the route one chooses to go.
 
ES adoption is something very close to my heat too , I've got 2 adopted nieces and one nephew . There is a thread on bnb adoption journys that I stalk :cloud9: as at one point I also considered it . The thread is filled with wonderful stories of the journeys of the women . And SO many happy endings :)
 
Hi Everyone, hope your all well and had a great weekend :)

AF got me! A day late which is a good think because it means on average my luteal phase is about 12 days which I'm happy with!

I have quite long cycles of 31 days and ovulate day 19 but it works out ok.

It was silly of me to think it'd happen first month both times (Even if the last time did end in MC)

Also in regards to adopting. After my miscarriage I did think that if I have more than one miscarriage I might think about adopting because I don't think I could continuously go through losses. I'm just not mentally strong enough.
 
I think that's wonderful es as an option for you like others have said it's such a wonderful thing to do, my granny was adopted it wasn't particularly 'happy' but hey it was the 20's things were different, I did think about it but I'm older and have mental health issues so I don't know that I would be viable, like you say get your back sorted first, your immediate pain is priority.

Ok ladies I think I might be single, my oh and I had a thing well it wasn't even a thing really he's so angry all the time and I just spend all my time telling him off I told him that our relationship just doesn't work anymore and he said that it's not worked since the miscarriage, I didn't think it was that bad but obviously he's not happy, he slept on the sofa last night and I was awake from 5-7 having contractions convinced it was the real thing but apparently not, he's gone off to work and I don't know if he'll be back.
So I'm 3 weeks off giving birth and my partner has left me, I seriously don't know what to do, I can't do anything on my own, I'm scared and my heart is breaking.
 
Unexpected - I am sorry that AF has caught you especially after those nasty evaps. But try to see it as a chance for your body to recover and get healthy for a beanie to snuggle into.

ES - glad that you're starting to feel better emotionally. I hope the physical pain heals soon too! I think adoption is a good thing to look into though it's not always an easy decision to make. But if your dh is on board that makes things a bit simpler. I hope you both find peace in whatever you decide and that however it happens, you WILL be parents one day. :hugs:

Pink - ah, sweetie, I'm so sorry to hear about your blow-up with your dh. TTC and pregnancy can be so hard on both partners and open up any cracks. It's such an emotional time. I do think it's not a good time to make huge decisions like break-ups due to hormones, etc, but you can't control his actions either. I hope he does come back from work or is willing to at least talk about why he feels unhappy. Do you have any close friends or family nearby? Someone who can come and check in on you?
:hugs::hugs:

I'm sorry to hear that.

Relationships are hard. Our son was an unexpected pregnancy only 6 months into our relationship and we had loads of blows ups when I was quite heavily pregnant. Once he was here and things settled down we got stronger than ever.

The miscarriage however has made things really hard again. I'm emotional and angry a lot of the time and he didn't really know how to deal with it.

Hopefully your partner will come to his senses and realise this is the time you need him more than ever and he needs to put whatevers going on aside and be there for you and bump.

Fingers crossed for you that things get better xx
