Door sending you hugs as always XXXX

Wonderin, WOW, What more can I say,Thanks for sharing that sure is extreme, in a good way.

 

[Butterfly67]

Aww, amazing story LW

 

[LilSluz]

Oh Door, I'm so sorry. I am sort of the same way - a plan seems to help me look fwd. So, I hope DH can really think about what he wants & you two can come to some kind of agreement & plan to move forward when "its time". No matter what happens, unless you choose option #3, your journey isn't over hun. And we'll all be here cheering you onto DE, ED, adoption or anything else you choose.

 

[LilSluz]

LW - wow that's probably the craziest story I've heard yet! So from age 34 to 42 she ended up with 3 adopted & 4 biological kids! Thanks for sharing

Small - thanks hun & GL on your appt - let us know what happens.

Hi, La Berg!

 

[smallhelen]

Door - Don't know what to say, except it is good that you are looking forward.

Left - what a fantastic story. It sure gives me hope.

La Bergere - nice to see you. Hope everything is going well.

Lils - I have to confess that I haven't made an appointment It's tricky trying to get to see the GP that I usually see, and I'm going to Germany tomorrow for three days. So if I'm still achy when I get back, I'll try to see get in on Monday or Tuesday.

Nessa, Dwrgi, CC, Pebble and all other ladies -

Hi all glad my sister story brings hope she still can't believe it herself some days each one of her children has the most amazing story . It's weird to think her boy and the twins were conceived at the same time , but one of them is 3 years older lol.... The other two were frozen for those years !

I've often thought of adoption or fostering , and think regardless ill foster one day in the future . I've read some of the threads about the journeys of the women on that pathway on this site , there are so many happy endings

 

[nessaw]

[moondust7]

Hi ladies - just dropping back in here to say a quick hi, even though I've been gone for a couple months.

LW - I read the story about your sister. Wow that's wonderful!!

Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday.

 

[Left wonderin]

Hi Moon , I'm sorry for both your losses, sounds like you have been through a sad time
Hope you are doing ok ?

Hi Drwgi!!! xx

La Bergere, LOL yep - that's totally how it is. With the last one, I was like nah, I'm not pregnant. And I was. When I'm not, I have every symptom there is b/c I'm so wishful. I am a shameless symptom-spotter though. I can't help it, and it's fun, even if it ends in disappointment.

LW - thank you. I'm ok now. Just hoping that I can actually have a successful pregnancy at some point. There are lots of women on here that have been thru m/c's and more and they are happy moms now, so I'm trying to keep the hope up.

Hi, guys...

Long story short, been trying for a year now and am 41 years old with no health issues except low egg quantity and quality (expected at my age). On Day 3 of my cycle and starting my Bravelle injections tonight. This will be for IUI #5. Had one miscarriage in January: not sure what went wrong. Doc recommended acupuncture for increased blood flow, but that's not covered by insurance (neither are my $$$$ meds), so I read on the internet that many acupuncturists recommend castor oil packs to aid in blood flow, so I ordered a kit on Amazon.com. We'll see...

 

[Left wonderin]

That's the spirit MOON and KAT PMA ( positive mental attitude ) all the way we will all get there some day , will just take some of us longer than others . We will recognise each at the school gates ( we will be the ones leaning on the Zimmer frames

Seriously though its so good to have a great bunch of people to share this journey with , our own set of cheerleaders

Today I'm 8dpo ..... I'm on BOOBIE watch waiting for my BSB , big sore boobies lol ...... I'm thinking their a bit tender today but that could do with all the poking I also have a weird pain in my right hip bone like I bumped into something but I didn't ? Anyway still hopeful here for this month no other way to be , if AF shows up so be it and then on the positive side only 14 days to trying again

Hi Kat - welcome and best of luck to you!!

Have you researched the castor oil pack in pregnancy? I know I saw castor oil used to bring on labor once for one of the ladies on the US Teen Mom series. I think she took it internally though but still it seems to me that even if it's used in pregnancy externally, it's usually close to the end of the pregnancy. I don't know for sure but I feel like I would have questions about it in pregnancy. I know blood thinners like Lovenox and Heparin are used for better blood flow in pregnancy. Take care.

Hi ladies
Just a quick-ish question - have any of you ov'd earlier than usual due to a lack of stress?
I usually ov between CD16 and 18, but had a temp shift on CD15 this cycle. As I'm only on cd17 now, FF hasn't confirmed it yet, but I think it might be right. The difference this time is that I was on half-term holiday, and doing stuff I enjoy, rather than working. But I just wondered if it had happened to anyone else.
Thanks!
