Sparkle - good luck for Friday hun xx

Becks - hope you do get a longer LP.

Yay, Regina - really excited for you. Can't wait hun xx

AFM - did my first regular Wednesday shift as Fitness Consultant at gym today so enjoyed that but was so tired with driving to York and back in one day yesterday. Funeral went okay and I sat with ex's first ex-wife and their daughter (used to be my step-daughter) and her baby. Her little boy reminds me of my little angel as mine was due one month after hers. He is such a cutie, 14 months old. So was a bit sad when I got back home and DH was there, I tried to tell him about the baby reminding me but I couldn't actually get the words out, just got upset. Think I just felt emotional with the day. I actually gave me ex a hug when I left (only physical contact since over 10 years, normally when we meet its a 'hello, alright?'). So all in all, a very strange day.

DH has told me he is on courses over March, grr, I am certainly losing my patience with this. You think I would understand being ex-military but no, it is seriously annoying me. He has now gone out to pub. So all in all, not a very good couple of days but....can only get better! Think I am just tired.

Sorry for whingeing.

Lisa - how is Caitlin? Bless her, she still looks adorable, glad it is not bothering her too much. Such a sweetie.

 

[Oasis717]

So sorry you've had a rubbish couple of days Jo, you are right it can only get better! Totally understand how you feel as I said my friend has a little girl that was born a month after my lo would have been due, she's a year old this month and my lo would be 13 months old now. So upsetting. I know we have Brooklyn and I will always always be so grateful for that but I don't think ill ever get over losing my angel hope tomorrow sees a better day for you hunni xxxxxxx

Hey Ladies!

Just figuring out y'alls (I'm from Texas!) names!

Fi: As I was diagnosed with diminished reserves several years ago, I am SO ALL about egg quality. It is not quantity...it is quality. The two things I take daily that are supposed to help with egg quality are micronized DHEA 75 mg daily and COQ10 750-1000 mg daily. The COQ10 is really pricey, but so is everything else I am doing. Eesh! Also, I take 2100 mg of L-Arginine daily to improve my uterine lining to make it plush for implantation. I also do acupuncture weekly with a center that specializes in fertility acupuncture and it is awesome. Acupuncture increases blood flow to the ovaries and uterus and helps with overall stress relief. NOT, that this is a stressful process or anything. Yeah, right! I say make sure you have all the information you need before you call it quits. My ovarian reserves were barely on the charts and I still got pregnant. The issues with my pregnancy had nothing to do with Luke. He was a perfect egg. There is HOPE! I am hoping for one more perfect egg!!! I hope the same for you.

Regina: Yay! Sounds super promising! Exciting!!!

Thanks Becks. xxxxx

Hi Sparkle - yes it certainly is expensive ttc. I daren't even think about how much I have spent on opk's, HPT, vitamins etc over the years. Never lose hope though eh? Good luck.

Even I have to think about the names lol (I am Jo, Dance is Lisa, Oasis is Becks, Garf is Fi, Cry is Crystal, Left is Regina), Soanxious - I am not sure of your name, sorry hun. Sorry if I have missed people xx

 

[garfie]

Hi Josie - Thanks for the link I have ordered some BIG for you for the last few days as well - it's been a bit crappy for both of us in a different way

Becks - How are you feeling and more importantly how is Mr Becks?

Lisa - Aw bless her - hope she's not suffering to much

Cry - Thanks for your help too hun - yesterday I was in a very dark place today I feel a bit more renewed I am still angry though

AFM - I had a chat with hubby - basically he is still of the same mindset - that we will try until my Birthday (August) and then I (not him) have to sort out BC his reasons for not having the snip - I'm not putting myself through it -

Hi Fi we are ok thank you. I took Brooklyn to the docs this morning as his cough has been going on 3 weeks but all is ok the doc said it may take him another 2/3 weeks for it to go. That's great news about you trying til Aug! Plenty of time for a bfp!!! Just a couple of latest pics of Brooklyn to share xxxx

just me writing really quick... just done an internet HGC test, well an am one. and it had a faint line, when I used inverted image its also glowing like the normal line but faint .. not sure when I ovulated if going from last mc im due AF tomorrow I had a tiny show possibly implantation a few days ago but it was a one off, breasts are sore and I feel sick with rosy cheeks on and off. plus im grouchy lol xxx

 

[crysshae]

Becks - He is so cute! Just wanna squeeze him. Glad his cough is nothing serious. Your chart is looking good! How are you feeling about this cycle?

Jo - It's so hard when you see those little ones that remind you of yours lost. I hope everything gets sorted out and you have your rainbow soon.

Sparkle - I'm from Texas too. I thought about trying DHEA, but decided against it since I don't know what my levels are other than progesterone, and it can disrupt things if you don't need it. I'm going to look into L-Arginine though. I remember coming across it in my research at some point. I pray everything works perfectly for your IVF and your rainbow baby will be on its way.

Fi - August is a good long time to get your rainbow baby! Were you able to find OvaBoost anywhere else. Pregnitude is made over there, I believe. Might be easier to find. It doesn't have as many ingredients but does have the myo-inositol and has been around a while. When reading your post, I fond myself thinking...if he's the one who doesn't want to try anymore, shouldn't he be the one worrying about birth control??

So - I hope that faint line turns into your rainbow baby! Fingers crossed for you!

Lisa - Hope Caitlin is doing well.

Regina - How are you doing?
