AF due 29th, anyone else?

Just found out I'm pregnant. Feeling very blessed. I'm only around 5 wks

Wow its a really long time isn't it!!

How's things with your love life? Are you working also or do you stay home with the kids? You'd be flat out.

How old are your kids now?

Sounds good Ab22. Everything is good on my end. The kids are doing great! Oh how quickly time flies :-D I was thinking back when we were both trying and we starting being buddies on this blog THREE years ago... What a journey!

Hi girls. Im new here. Alecia, 26, from South Africa. Have been ttc for almost a year. Af due on the 28th. Also need a buddy please

It has been a while! I'm good thanks. Havana is good getting big. 16 mths now! How are you and your kids? What's been happening?

I'm busy atm am working a few days this week.

How is everything Ab22? It's been awhile. How's Havana?

same as me AF 29th

I'm doing quite well! So happy to hear that Havana had an amazing time for her birthday!! So so awesome!

Look at zanaya in that pick! She's gorgeous.

Yes Havana was one 2 days ago! Had a big weekend of birthday and christening celebrations I am buggered haha

It's totally flown by I can't believe she's 1!!

How are you going?

Xx

Happy Birthday to Havana! She's 1 or nearing 1 right? Many Blessings :-)

Hey I'm

Good thanks. DD is growing. 10 months now! It's crazy how quick it goes but am loving it all :) how are you going? Xx

Hi ab22! How's everything? How are you and the family? Was thinking about you. Hope all is well. :-)

Hello there! Yes time is flying fast. The kids are doing well. Yes Zanaya will be 1 in two months! She is such a happy, smart and good baby!! Definitely a joy to have. Havana is is 4 months! How awesome is that! Babies are amazing :-)

Hi how are you? How's the kids going? Times flying. Your little one will be almost 1 right?

Havanas 4 months now! Getting such a cute personality. Xx

That will be great if you can reconcile but just to be able to get along & be friends is good too..wouldn't be real nice if you weren't getting along that's forsure.

Thank you :-)

Xx

You are so sweet and thanks for the support. I think we're going to try and reconcile and try once more in the future but for this moment, we're keeping the peace and becoming friends again :-) I pray for a very healthy and prosperous 2014 for all of us! Much love ab22 XxXx

That's lovely news that your getting along well. Will you ever reconcile or just keep the peace & be friends for your daughters sake?

Thanks. It's nice when people don't criticise me for what I do. If it works for us I guess it's the main thing.

Hope 2014 is a good year for the both of us xx

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! Glad to hear everything is so happy and pleasant with being a mommy. As far as the little on sleeping, every baby prefers something different and she just absolutely loves being in her mommy's arms :-) Shower her with as much love as you desire!

For me, the little ones and I are doing great! Feel so blessed to be a mommy and have the love of my babies.... It's an amazing thing! My ex and I are doing pretty good. Baby steps for recovery between us but for the most part we're getting along great and he loves his daughter. In time, I guess, all wounds will heal :-)

Merry Xmas and a happy New Years! How are you and your little ones going?

Havana is 11 weeks old now! Time just flies its crazy. Loving her lots & loving being a mummy.

I'm having problems with getting her to sleep. The only way she will sleep is if I rock or feed her to sleep but she's a great sleeper when she's asleep! I do hope she grows out of it but at the same time I don't mind doing it most the time!

But she's perfect!

How's things with your ex?

I've been doing great! Very happy with everything and loving my little ones up! :-) Glad to hear everything is going great w u and the little one. And kiddos to ttc again ;-)

You must be so flat out with 3 little ones & doing everything basically on your own!

We are doing great. Havana is growing so much already. I'm still breastfeeding. Hoping to breastfeed until she's 10-12months old then start ttc again :-)

How have you been?

Such a beautiful name for a beautiful baby! The love for ur child is like no other!! :-) I'm so happy that things worked out with you and the baby's health/well being.

I have been great! Doing very good with managing 3 little ones and everyone's happy :-)

Aww thanks hun!!

18-10 was a great day!

Yes we had our appointment Thursday Arvo & doctor said fluid is too low & placenta issues & baby was starting to show signs of stress so he said he wanted bub out. We went straight to hospital & had steroid shots then c section the next day! She's perfect am so in love!!!

6pd 4, 50cm long.

How have you been? Xx

PS her name is Havana Rose :-)

already had the baby, Lol. Plus, my little ones father's bday is 10-19 :-) Again, congrats!

I see ur baby was born on 10-18-13! My very close friend had her baby also on 10-18-13 by c-section. I actually rushed up to the hospital to b there w her but by the time I got there she a

Oh how beautiful she is!!!! I'm so sorry I missed ur message, been really tied up. It looks like everything went very well! I THINK I predicted that u were having a girl, Lol. She's very beautiful and I'm SO very happy for you!!!!! How did everything go? What is her name? When was she born? :-D

How are u and bubs??

I'm 37 wks today! So close.

Found out 3 wks ago I have low amniotic fluid & then last wk my

Placenta isn't working properly, it's ageing/dying. Bubs is ok but dr is seeing me weekly & I wouldn't be surprised if this wk or next I have bubs. He said to prepare myself for a c section I'm really quite upset about that but time will tell..

Getting quite nervous!

Hope you've been well Hun xx

I'm Glad to hear that.

It has to make things easier for you both, but for you especially.

How could he not love her, she's gorgeous :-)

Yes he has actually made a complete turn around for the baby once she was born. Him and I however are not together, just trying to establish a mutual/co parenting relationship. But he absolutely loves his daughter and taking great care of her.

Thanks your so sweet :)

Glad all is well. They grow way too quick don't they! Times flying for you too I bet.

Has your ex had any contact?

Xx

Great news! Almost at the home stretch ;) Everything is great with the baby and I. She is just growing and growing; they grow so fast!!

I'm sure ur baby shower is going to be great and you'll get everything that you need :) Many Blessing!

Hi ksbh!

I'm well thanks.

30 weeks now ;-)

I am wishing time away to finish work as I'm quite over it but then I feel bad as when I think about it I don't have much left of the pregnancy & it'll be over before I know it!! 6-7 weeks of work left.

How are you and bub?

Is everything going ok?

Our new house is great we love it. Been setting it up its

Good putting everything in place. I finished setting the nursery stuff up that I do have so far. Ill have my baby shower in 4 weeks so I might wait until then to buy anything else.

I hope your well xx

Hey Ab22! Been thinking about u. How's everything? How's the baby doing? How's settling in the new abode? Hope all is well :-)

That is so awesome!!! So very happy for you. All is well for me and the LO. She's an absolute doll! :)

Hey ksbh! How's bubba going?

I hope your well too.

I'm good thanks. 26 weeks 3 days. Everything is going well.

We move house this weekend finally so I can set the nursery up hopefully next weekend. I can't wait :-)

Xx

Hi there! How's everything? Not too much longer! :)

Glad to hear your both well.

I'm good thanks. Starting to feel massive. Times kinda going quick.

Oh wow! Look at the belly :) Too cute

We are doing good. How are u and the bean?

How are you and the bubs??

Miracles do happen :-)

Hope u and bub are well xx

Oh awesome!!! I'm so glad to hear that great news. I'm so very happy for u and ur husband :) baby will be here in no time ;)

Our little bubba is doing well! Measuring 4 days ahead so nice and strong. Felt massive kicks last night :-)

We kept gender a surprise

Wow your doing well!

Already to be back to your pre pregnancy weight. Hope I'm like that lol

Oh ok well I'm sure it's a healthy baby either way. I'm glad everything checked out great for you and the baby. Keep me updated on ur scan. Baby and I are doing great! Baby is doing amazing and I'm back down to my prepregnancy weight and shape so I'm feeling amazing!! Lol. Thanks for asking :) Xx

We aren't finding out. We have our 20wk scan tomorrow I can't wait ;-)

I had a scare last Friday I started spotting. I went to the doctor straight away and he checked my cervix and baby's hb and all was perfect. He didnt do a scan. But I've been feelin bub kick since then so I'm sure all is ok. Still nerve wracking & I'm looking forward to my scan for reassurance!

I was thinking of u. How's everything going? U home & settled in?

Any word on what ur having?

Wow!! Ur pregnancy is flying by! That's awesome. I'm doing great and the baby is so very precious. Keep me updated!

Oh look at ur pic! She is absolutely gorgeous. I'm great. 19 weeks 3 days belly is growing. 20 wk scan in one week. I can't wait.

How are u feeling? X

How's it going for u? How's the lil bean growing? Hope all is well. Xx

That's so good. Perfect size! Congrats Hun. Rest up & enjoy xx

6lbs 7oz, 18 3/4 inches long. He wasnt there for the birth, it was just me and my mom. The labor was excellent but I did have an epidural bc I wasn't sure of what to expect w the pain due to my other 2 deliveries. I'm extremely happy!!!

Yay congrats. Weight??

Was ur ex there for it?

Natural labour?

Hope all is well x

Delivered my sweet baby May 31, 2013 @ 3:06p! My labor and delivery was AMAZINGLY easy!

Sounds like your really close!! Goodluck and keep me updated

The cerclage was removed last week Tues and I was checked at 2.5 cm dilated, 70% effaced and -3 station and contractions every 5-7 mins but I was only 36 weeks and labor was stalling due to a lot of scar tissue in my cervix frm previous cerclages and surgeries so they sent me home. Since then I've been having strong contractions ranging from 3-5 mins but I knew the baby was too early so I decided to not go into L&D unless water broke. But I'm 37 weeks and 3 days now so I'm ready if anything happens. I'll keep u updated.

Any news?

Ok cool. So u will probably end up going around 37 weeks after stitch is taken. That's exciting :-) only 1 week off and anytime u might go! OMG

Yes I'm 16 weeks now. Times kinda going slow but then when I think about it it's gone quick. I am just hanging to move house & set the nursery up. It'll hopefully be here before I no it!

Well keep me updated xx

Oh wow! Ur pregnancy is moving fast :) 4 months that's awesome. They'll remove my stitch in 37 weeks and just let the whatever happen happen. If not induction at 39 weeks

How exciting is that. So will they let u go and if nothing at 39 weeks induce u?

My little bubba is good. 16 weeks tomorrow. Vey exciting.

I can't wait to move house and be able to set our nursery up!

Happy Belated Mother's Day! I'm so excited!! and so ready, Lol. Count down. Well I'm officially 9 months/36 weeks on Sat and I'm not going to go the whole 40 weeks, no longer than 39 weeks so only 3 weeks left for me :). How's everything w u and the lil bun?

Happy Mother's Day to u for yesterday!

U only have like 4 weeks left? Wow!! Going quick

I like that name!

How exciting not long for u at all!

I'm looking forward to all the things going to happen over re next few months :-)

Oh wow.. Well at least u know. Once u feel the movements, theyll be grand!

My daughter's name is gonna be Zanaya (Zah-NI-Yah) Symone. 6 weeks and counting!!! :)

My doctor told me my placenta is at the front and I wouldn't feel bub till 20-25 weeks. :(

U got names for ur little girl?

Really :-)

I'm happy with either but feel boy. It's going to be fun guessing lol

I think ur having a girl ;)

Thanks. Love the pic. It's waving its hand!! :-)

Yayyy! The baby is growing, looking great! :)

Great to hear!! Knew it would b ;)

Little bubbas perfect. Am soo happy

I'm sure everything is going to go great! Please let me know how everything turns out :)

Tomorrow is the big day. Am nervous, excited and all sorts!!

Haven't been able to sleep the last couple of nights lol

Wish me luck & ill let u no how if goes! X

Definitely! Everything is going to b just great w ur pregnancy, major accomplishment!!!

Aww that's so good. Not long at all for u!! Another girl I no from

Work is due in 6 weeks so she'll be very close to u!

I'm so relieved I'm approaching the safe zone. 12 weeks tomorrow. I no everything's going to be ok :-)

Oh wow! Ur almost at ur safe zone, very exciting. I'm doing really good just ready to have her already. Been having some contractions (Braxton Hicks) and great movement from the baby. I'm due in 7 weeks and get my stitches removed in 5 weeks, can't wait! Very excited about meeting her

Oh u have a pic of ur bub. Very cute. How u doing?

I'm good. 11 weeks 5 days now. So close :-) scans in 5 days

Oh ok so a while ago but still getting things set up?

Cool.

We will be moving in a couple months. Not looking forward to it. Wish we'd already moved but the house we are building the builder went bankrupt so its out of our control :(

Well I moved into my new home 2 weeks bf I found out I was pregnant but yes had a lot of help. Nothing from the ex.

Did u move house? That's cool. Big job for you to move though. Did you have people help?

Yes I bet very hard last 2 months. All big & Uncomfortable.

Any news with ur ex?

That sounds really great, glad to hear everything is going really good :) I'm doing good. Im in my 3rd trimester now :) Just been decorating my new home and getting ready for the baby. Sooo happy I'm nearing the end; the last 2 months are the worst! Lol

Thank you :-)

Ah I'm buggered today. We have 4 days off over the wkend for Easter. I've been eating too much lol

Feeling very sluggish.

I've already put on heaps of weight just from cutting back my exercise routine. Yukky. I'm back into the gym soon as I'm 12 weeks to do yoga and weights and cardio. Can't wait.

I'm going to try to go the whole pregnancy.

How u doing?

Sure. I was 13/14 weeks when I got the cervical cerclage put in. For this pregnancy my doc wanted to wait until I was 15 weeks to put it in so that certain abnormalities of the baby that only shows up around 15 weeks. Had the procedure done for all pregnancies

Hey how are u?

I'm good. 8 weeks 6 days now. Almost 9 weeks :-)

Can you tell me how far you were when you got your stitch put in? I am trying to help another person I talk to who is 12 weeks & her cervix looked short in her scan so she's worrying but they are seein her when she's 13 weeks to do another scan & maybe do a stitch.

I'm doing good. Always tired but that's about it.

305am wow! What are you doing up lol? Probably a toilet stop!

It's Tuesday march 19 here too but it's 730pm. So I must be about 12 or more hours ahead of ur time :)

Thanks Hun. So excited. What a blessing. How u doing?

What is the time difference between where u r and where I am? It's Tuesday, March 19, 2013 @ 3:05a... What about u?

Yayyyy!!!! I'm so happy for u Ab22! Such a blessing. Just when it was time to give up, the blessing came just in time! That is awesome news, I know the hubby is very excited as well :) well keep me posted on the great journey

Just got back from scan. Everything is perfect. Heart beat, measuring perfect and one bubba. I was nervous about more then one bubba. Oh I am so so happy. :-)

Scan is today. Wish me luck. Been praying every day!

About 8 hours time it is. I barely slept last night lol xx

Thanks hun. I heard the same thing with nausea. Today is the worst I've had it. Haven't vomited but just really uneasy and feel like I could vomit! I'm so happy though :-)

Yes that's what happened w me. I first started out w them extremely sore then it went away and came bck twrds the middle of the pregnancy. Nausea, I was told, in early pregnancy is a good sign of pregnancy progress :) Ur gonna b a mama soon!!!

I researched and they say its normal for the sore boobs to be sore then not sore throughout :-)

I am really nauseous this morning! So I feel good haha

Is it normal for my sore boobs to go away? Lol

They were always really sore but only at night and the last 2 nights haven't been sore..

Lol yep almost there

I bet u can't wait :-)

Seems to be dragging for both of us I reckon. It feels like you've been pregnant for ages haha

And me it doesn't feel like for ages but I just wish it was 12 weeks already.

By the time I'm 12 weeks you'll only have about 6 weeks to go. Wow

Very excited for u!! I'm good. Ready for my LO :)

6 weeks today. Am so excited :-)

Every day that passes is awesome but every week even better!! Only another week and 2 days till my first scan.

How are you? Xx

How's everything going Ab22?

That's great! I'm doing good. A lot of back pain but all for my LO. 3 more months left and I'm sooo ready, Lol

5 weeks today :-)

Slowly getting there.

How u doing?

Thanks. Glad all is looking well with your lo!! :-)

I can't wait to see my lo in 3 weeks today!! Yay.

Will keep you posted xx

Wow things r looking good! I'm very happy for u! Relaxing and staying positive is the best way to go. Enjoy ur pregnancy, iys the best feeling!

I have 3 months left and I can't wait! Got my 3d/4d scan of my baby and it was so good to see her so healthy looking and active :) I'm excited to meet her. June 8th is when I deliver.

Everything is looking good for both of our LOs!!! Keep me posted

How are you doing.?

I'm good. 4 wks 3 days. Time going slow but it's 1 week today since I got my first positive! Wow! Couldn't have found out any earlier lol

I'm not doing any more hpts and I'm not doing another blood test and just relaxing and being positive. I feel good. No sickness or sore boobs yet. I actually want it! I get a little nausea first thing in the morning but soon as I eat I'm fine..

When do you finish up work?

It seems like you've been pregnant for ages lol

I guess when you find out early that's why. Everyone else when u find out at 12 weeks it flies!

We aren't telling anyone else until 12 weeks now. Can't wait :-)

My first scan is 3 weeks today.

Great news! Glad to hear :)

Thanks heaps :)

Just tested and my lines heaps darker then yesterday. Makes me feel sooo much better!

I think I must have implanted about 9dpo and I was 11-12dpo when we had blood drawn so its reasonable but I will call about another blood test on Monday :)

I would definitely ring him about getting another hcg done... That's the only was of knowing of certainty that the pregnancy is progressing. I'm not sure y he wouldn't want to... To my knowledge that's standard protocol when taking the first one. Well positive thoughts and praying for healthy pregnancy.

Getting dark line each day is a good indication of progressing pregnancy so that's a good sign as well. Please keep me posted. Remember that whenever u get ur hcg checked again that ur looking for the number to double every 48-72 hrs from the previous the blood was drawn.

Right now I'm feeling nauseated and cramps so I think that's a good thing. Things seem to be improving :)

Thanks Hun

My doc said no to getting more blood tests but seems everyone else does?

Do you think I should ring him & request another one Monday?

I think I will. It'll put me at ease.

I am doing another hpt in a few hours. It's 3am here. Just want to see lines darker again and ill feel good :)

My hcg was 93 @ 11-13 dpo (10/8), not 100% sure the dpo, then jumped to 224 2 days later (10/10).

I'm definitely praying u have a healthy pregnancy. That first number really doesn't mean anything, it's that second number to see if it doubled or nearly double.

My blood test results are 38 from yesterday. About 11-12 dpo.

Do u remember yours?

I'm nervous it's low.

Doctor says he's happy.

Please pray for me we have a healthy pregnancy ;)

Xx

Yes but not "tied" bc that's reversible but cut and burnt.

Great news for u! You finally got ur bfp :) Awesome!

Wow lots goin on for u.

So hernia and tubes tied? Is that one u mean?

Well it's official. On a digital pregnant! So so happy :) :)

Xx

Everything is going pretty good. My lil one is growing good. Saturday I'll b officially 6 mnths and I'm gonna start playing w my registry (lots of fun!) I found out that I have an umbilical hernia so I'm looking to have that repaired during the time I give birth (praying on a miracle that my OB allows me to have an elective C section) and get my tubes ligated... all in one shot ;) We'll see what happens.

I'm so excited for you!!!!!!!! Many blessings

Thanks ksbh. Ur so sweet.

I go for a blood test tomorrow. Will get results day after, Friday. Pretty keen for them!

How's things with u!??

Yayyy! Yes we do. I knew that we would, I really felt so. Great great news :) Well the beautiful journey starts now and an amazing one it is! Please keep me posted

Thanks ksbh!! I am so excited. I just can't believe it. Still in shock. No way I thought I would be. Dh is away for work at the moment but been talking to him on phone and via emails. He is so excited! ;)

Ill call my doctor today in my lunch break and discuss blood tests to check my levels again hopefully tomorrow which will be 11-12 dpo. Yay so excited!

We get to be pregnant together

OMG!!!!!! I'm so freakn happy for u!!!!! God is good! Wow that's amazing news Ab22! I know ur filled w joy. Please keep me updated but w progesterone levels that high that's a great great great thing!!!!

How are u doing??

OMG I have some news!!!

Bfp 10 dpo!! First round on femara. A miracle has truely happened.

I am still very nervous but I got my progesterone results yesterday and they were 119 so I thought wow I should test. Was 100% sure would be neg as I feel the same so tested this morn. I am 9-10dpo and a line showed within about 1-2 mins so tested 3 more times and all lines. Just tested then 3 more tests showed lines with diluted pee, frer negative but I think it'll show tomorrow!!

Omg. Doing more tests in morning will keep u updated

Lol that would b good :) I could imagine how hard and difficult it could b to b surrounded by pregnancy and that's all u want but u have been so extremely strong since we started on this journey on this blog!!! It's definitely right around the corner for u ;)

I can't wait. Will just be so good for this pain to be over. It's getting harder and harder. More people falling pregnant at work and close friends. All my friends have kids now or are pregnant. It's so hard to talk to them about their pregnancys. They got it so easily u know. I try to stay positive & be strong but it can be so damn hard. It feels like our bfp is in arms reach now which is a good feeling. :-)

We might be pregnant together for like 2 weeks lol

That is so awesome

Oh ok cool :-)

Well I reckon ill have a bfp by time u have baby. Yay. If we do ivf ill no mid may-end may if its worked. I can't wait

Thank you. It's between June 8-15. Officially on June 15 but I seriously doubt I'm going 40 weeks; the 8th will be 39 weeks.

Thanks ksbh. Your such a lovely person.

When is your due date?

Hey Ab22! I'm so glad to see ur spirits have lifted a bit. Hopefully everything will come together to work out for u but definitely w the ivf you'll have ur bfp!!! That's awesome and ur right, 4 months is not long at all.

I'm actually 5 months now w 4 more months to go as of Feb. I'm happy to have made it this far and am excited about meeting my little in due time... All is well w me, just preparing my family for another new addition into our lives which is very exciting.

Well I'm anxiously awaiting ur news when it arrives :-) Keep me posted

How are you ksbh?

I am cd 3 again. Af showed yet again. I saw my old

Gyno last week who has put me on femara this cycle and next and if nothing onto the pill and ivf the one after. Not long to go I guess. Feels forever but I no it'll be here fairly soon. In 4 months time I might have a bfp. In fact, I will :-) that is just so exciting.

How's all with u?

I felt the same way exactly. Hoping for the best! All is well on my end.

Thanks.

We bd around when I should have o. No where near as much as we normally do but just over it. If its going to happen it should really happen after 1 bd and we bd 2-3 times around it so I am not worried. Takes the fun out of it when we bd like 5 or more times around it. Just get over it & it feels like a chore.

Hope ur doing ok x

Yes I do get paid a portion of my salary for 6 weeks but after that I'm pretty much on my on.

I hope it works out for u this cycle, FX

It's good ur so positive :)

I guess that's all you can be isn't it. Wish it was a bit different for you. Do you get paid maternity leave it any form of government pay when the baby is born? I can't imagine how hard it would be to pay rent, food and bills with not enough or any income. I'd be stressed!

My first day back at work today was pretty good. Better then I thought.

I am due to ovulate this week. Will try to bd every other day.

Im actually on Christmas break as well and will be going bck Mon. No my ex and I we don't talk at all, it's sad but it's reality. I do work, I'm a teacher at a high school and yes it will b pretty rough for me financially w no partner but I'll make a way some how. I'm really looking forward to the great things to come in 2013 for us all!

You did have a rough 2012 too didn't you :( it seems a lot of people I know didn't have a very good year.

That's good u having a girl. So u had girl, boy and now girl. Pretty cool :-)

Have you been talking to your ex at all? Sucks things couldn't work out for you there...

I am back to work tomorrow after the Xmas break. Am dreading it :-(

Do u work?

Is it going to be tough for u financially with no partner?

Lets hope 2013 brings lots of good things our way!!

Well I'm definitely praying for ur dog and hope for full vision recovery in the remaining eye. I'm so w u w 2012 being a rough year and happy for it ending! Congrats on ur home and I'm sure this year will bring u many more blessings.

I'm currently 4 months and just found out I'm having a girl. I just had surgery to close up my cervix until she's ready to b born. I have a daughter that's 6 and a son that's 3 so all my kids will b 3 years apart. Things have been very rough for me emotionally but other than that I'm doing good. Made a promise to forget about things in 2012 and look forward to happiness and blessings in 2013.

Did u find out what u are having?

How many kids do u have at the moment and are they boys or girls? I no u told me but I forgot sorry.

I am all good. Af arrived Xmas day of course. We didn't have a very good Xmas. We didn't think the year could get worse but it did of course. Our dog had one eye removed two months ago and Xmas eve all of a sudden went blind in his only eye left. We have had to drive him to Sydney 3 times to have surgery on it to try and bring his vision back. Cost us $3000 and he is still blind at the moment. Am hoping and praying his vision comes back! He is my little baby. We were both glad to see the end of 2012!

We look forward to this new year. We have our house which will be finished in a couple of months then we are doing ivf in may if no bfp before then.

How have u been?!

Xx

How did u get on Ab22??

I'm doing really good. Yes, I'm 13 weeks 1 day and find out what I'm having in 2 weeks to prepare for surgery. I'm glad things r starting to get back to normal for u. I'm also glad to hear about ur upcoming appointment! I'm praying and hoping for the best!! Please keep me posted

How u doing?? U over 12 weeks now ;)?

I am ok. We moved into a rental and kinda got life back on track.as much as it can be when going through all of this!

Am about to ovulate again 3rd time since surgery.

Appointment this Thursday to discuss medication for two cycles and ivf in march if that fails. My af this cycle is due Boxing Day, day after Xmas. Oh that is all I want for Xmas is a big far positive xx

I'm so sorry to hear of all of that about ur house! I can truly understand the stress frm all of that. Whichever route u decided to go for conception, I'm praying for u! I'm currently 11 weeks and 3 days, have an appt tmrw w OB for test I'm guessing. Saturday I'm officially 3 months... So far it's been good. No word, communication or anything frm the ex; I guess I was just inseminated just to have a baby, weird but that's what it is. Wishing and praying for the best for both of us

Hi ksbh. Am sorry been busy 2 weeks.

First the house we are building the company went bankrupt. We left with an unfinished house we have to keep paying mortgage payments on and now had to move into a rental and pay rent too until new house finished, could be 6 months :( been very stressed. Af arrived, am cd 4.

I have an ivf appointment Thursday. Am doing natural cycle this one, with fertilaid, fertiltea, epo. If this one fails I'd like to move to some other medication for one cycle and if that fails onto ivf.. Am nervous, scared and everything, just wish we would fall pregnant ;( can't believe we have to go through all of this!

How are u! How far are u now?! Has anything changed with u and ur ex?? Have been thinking of u. Sorry haven't been in contact xx

Hi Ab22, just checking on you... Blessings

Well he definitely knows about the bfp but we haven't talked since.

Trust me I know it's hard bc I remember what I went thru to try and have a baby bf I had any children and I thought it was just unfair that everyone around me kept falling pregnant and I couldn't have a baby!! I remember tearing up every time i saw someone pregnant or a newborn... I believe in my heart that once u do the ivf and u began to feel YOUR baby growing in u that all of these other feeling won't even matter... Well I'm definitely one of ur supports. If u ever need to vent or discuss anything or just ask question or simply to b someone to converse w I'm always here! U don't have to go thru this emotional time alone.

Oh really so he doesn't no? Hmm. Wonder if it'd make things different if he knew?

Time will tell. Hopefully things work themselves out for u..

My Hubby is pretty hard to deal with when it comes to ttc. He doesn't like talking about it, gets angry at me when I get upset. It's hard for me.

I'm not a nice person anymore. I just get too jelous and angry with people.

I said to dh I wish we could go back in time to when we first got married. Things were exciting, happy. Not how they are now. But he said no way, wouldn't want to go through what we have been through all over again. We are almost there. After this cycle will be booking iui in I think. I'm not waiting any longer. So that'll be my end of December cycle doing an iui hopefully.. Maybe January cycle.

He really doesn't... We haven't talked since my bfp, something is obviously going on w him bc this is totally out of character for him! But I'm not going to push the issue, whatever needs to b will b; I trust that God will work it out in the way it needs to happen.

How r u holding up? How does ur hubby feel about the struggles of this whole process? I know it's emotionally and mentally draining!

Thanks. Ur so sweet. I'm glad pregnancy is doing well.

That's not fair about ur ex partner. Wish things were different for u ;)

Its weird how thing have turned out for u though. Breaking up just as Bfp. So what does he say about it all?

Xx

Hey there! I'm doing fine. Pregnancy is doing good, so far so good. I'm 9 weeks today! I'm hoping and praying for a healthy and complete pregnancy. No news w my partner, it's like we've never knew each other and that's so painful bc I've known him for sooo long but it is what it is, life goes on... I thank God for this lil one that's baking in my womb.

I know it's hard to stay positive but u must bc it WILL happen! Even though I know u would like it to happen w/o help, at least u will have u precious lil one, no matter how they have to get here!! I know, easier said then done but I'm very excited (however means) for u to get ur baby :-) My prayers r continuing!

How u going??

Any more news with the split from ur partner? How's pregnancy going? Hope ur ok.

I'm 1 dpo. Didn't do opks or anything. Finding it hard to remain positive, I kinda just feel like it's not going to happen without ivf :( it should happen without ivf but I don't no., just not feeling it..

I'm sure all will be ok for u. I hope so.

I'm all good. Have purchased vitex to take this cycle then if bfn I have fertility tea and fertiliaid tablets I can take..hope we get it this cycle. Trying to do the natural thing though. If bfn this cycle am booking iui or ivf around January

Wow that's amazing. Yes I have a weak cervix. I had to get the stitch on my cervix for both of my children so its routine, it's just making it to that safety point now. How r u feeling?

Oh wow. Long way to go but I'm sure it'll be all good. Do u have a weak cervix? One of my friends I met on pink pad is Now almost 21 weeks pregnant and has a history of miscarriages. She got the cervix stitch too and so far all good.

She does already have 4 kids but has lost 6.

That's great news! I'm doing good. Had another ultrasound and saw the heartbeat. Both my doctor and I was relieve for that bc that seems to b a good sign. I'm 7 weeks today and just praying that I can at least make it to my second hurdle of 12-13 weeks; the rate of miscarriage drops dramatically... In which at 14 weeks, I'll have surgery to close/sew my cervix up until time of delivery. So have a very long road ahead of me.

Thanks. It will put a smile on my face when it finally happens. Feels like forever away but it will hopefully be here before we no it. We should find out an exact date next week but hopefully we will be able to move two weeks today. Worse case three weeks today.

How are u doing?

I know the move into ur new house will make u feel better, at least to put a smile on ur face :-) I'm hoping it all comes together for u and really soon!!!

How far were u at the scan? Id say just too early. Hope so anyhow.

Well I'm cd 3.

I have started acupuncture again. Once a week.

So expensive but if it helps I am willing to Try. I'm really hoping and praying it'll be this cycle.

I am feeling a bit better then I have been but still find it all hard to deal with.

We move into our new house in two weeks hopefully :-)

Can't wait. Hopefully new house and baby to come.

*meant to say "can't" reconcile the relationship

He was very untruthful about somethings and we can reconcile the relationship.

The first miscarriages began in 2001 and my latest on was this past Sept. I've had so many test ran and there's no known reason for them... Weird! The longest I went bf miscarrying was 11 weeks and that was w a blighted ovum, which could have been detected w routine blood work and early u/s. I had an ultrasound done yesterday, Sun, and they saw gestational sac and yolk sac but no fetal pole/baby yet. They said it maybe too early but my OB said everything is progressing well (I guess...) I won't b reassured and comfortable until a fetal pole and heartbeat is discovered, then it's a good sign. I had a friend that went in for a routine check/ultrasound for them to find no heartbeat at 9 weeks I believe. That's devastating! She miscarried :-( So I'm praying that this one makes it thru!!

I keep u in my prayers all of the time!!

Oh wow.

Do u mind me asking why u split? Is it just a little fight? I hope u get back together!! And hope ur ok xx

Also do u mind me asking when u had mc how far u were with them?

We've been together off and on for a span of 19 years w difference and separate life experiences in between. We were bck w each other this last time for 2.5 yrs

Thanks ksbh. U always lift my spirit :)

I'm just struggling big time at the moment. I just want to be a mum so bad.

I hope ur little spirit thoughts about me are right and it happens for me soon.

So how long have u been with the guy you just split?

I do hope u can work things out, u poor thing ;( I can't believe u had so many miscarriages. Not fair at all.

U have been through so much haven't u! Xx

No I truly, truly understand! That's what happened with my exhusband who is the father of my current children. We were together for 4 years bf we got married (Met in 2001 and got married the last day of 2005) and we were married for 6 years. I couldn't get pregnant for anything. And once I did, I kept having miscarriages... I had 4 miscarriages bf I had my first child... That really really hurt me bad!!! But then it just happened for us.

This one is from a person that I've known since we were 14 years old, we've known each other for 19 years and we decided that's what we wanted to have a baby but unfortunately it didn't work out for us...

I know it's hard to hear about pregnancies when u desperately want one of ur own! I use to become physically ill every time I saw a pregnant woman, questioning why wasn't I worthy enough to have a baby but trust me, it WILL happen!!!! The hardest thing is waiting and not knowing when... I'm a living testimony! It took 3 miscarriage bf I had my 2nd child and 3 bf this one.... I completely understand ur pain; trust me I do!!! I was there bf. I can feel a spirit of u having a baby of ur own, I really do! It's hard for me to explain but I feel like its coming for u

One of my friends told me this morn she is 12 wks preg. Accident. So devastated. It just doesn't get any easier for me at all hearing it, dh and I did it the right way by being together 4 years then getting married, buying our house and trying and now we are the only ones out of all our friends with no kids, it seems we get punished for doing things the traditional way u no..

Sorry to go on. Just so upset..

I'm actually not going to worry about anything next cycle, no opks, Clomid etc. Just bd every day around fertile time.

It's not worked doing everything I done before so I see no point.

Oh no, when did u break up? Were u married or just partners? Sorry to hear.

U definately split up or might get back together??

Please hang on in there! It WILL definitely happen for u! I know that making sure u use the opk properly and consistently, tracking ur bbt constantly to confirm ovulation, taking a baby aspirin frm the start of ur cycle and don't end it and pre-seed seemed to work for me... If u do all those thing PLUS w the procedure u had done, I'm praying for u to have results!!! Please continue to keep me posted :-)

I'm doing well. All is progressing well and my doc decided he wants to keep me on progesterone until after 3 mnths so I'm praying for sticky bean. This pregnancy is bitter sweet for me. I'm elated that I'm pregnant it's just the father and I officially broke up unexpectedly and I'm having a difficult time dealing w that right now but I have a strong support system that will get me thru this...

Many blessings Ab22!!!!!!

Thanks for checking on me. Yes I'm 10dpo today.

Bfn for me ;(

I feel the same too. This sucks so bad.

However it was only 2.5 weeks ago I had my operation and I ovulated 1 week after so maybe my body is still healing. Considering I did have endo burnt off on my left ovary and everywhere else it must make a difference. I am trying to be positive and think ahead and pray next cycle is it. I hear so many stories of people with endo and having the operation and falling the very next cycle. I'm most fertile now then ever before so it has to happen, right? :-)

Another girl from work said she is pregnant yesterday. Oh it gets hard.

Anyhow, how are u doing? All progressing well? I hope so. U deserve it. Xx

Hi Ab22! How's everything? I believe u should b 10-11 dpo... Any news? How r u feeling?

Oh that is so kind of u to say!! I believe whole heartily that it will happen for u really really soon! Even if iui is indeed an option for u and ur husband it WILL still b ur biological child that u will have a blessing to carry and experience all the wonderful things that comes frm it; I think personally its a great choice for ur precious miracle baby to introduce themselves to mommy and daddy :-) I'm really happy for the future for u!!

Thank u again for ur well wishes, I GREATLY appreciate it, it's definitely a long road ahead of me! Baby Dust Xx.

Ps I hope we will be pregnant together. Id love to be preggo with u!! Ur such a lovely person

Oh wow ksbh. That's so exciting. I'm really glad u got ur Bfp. I do hope I follow!

I am 6dpo today but not feeling any different and really don't think it's a Bfp :(

This is so devastating. But we are only trying one more cycle before starting the process of iui. I just hope it happens for us.

Ur numbers look great! Xx

Hi there!! I have great news. Got a BFP on 10/6, 10/7, and on 10/8 got pos blood test: ( hcg = 93 and Progesterone = 25.6 @ 12 dpo) and (hcg 271, Prog 27 @ 14 dpo)!!!! So everything looks pretty good so far! Thank God!!

I'm SOOO happy they found something for u and have resolved the issue! I've always felt that when it was time that we will be pregnant at the same time so I'm praying for that to come true for u :-) Fingers Crossed! Please keep me updated

Did u go to doctors??

Well I had my surgery last week.

All went well. They found I have endometriosis. They burnt it all during surgery. I was in a lot of pain for a few days but am feeling great now. I ovulated two days ago and managed to bd 3 times around o so I'm hoping we get our miracle Bfp next week.

So hard to not think about it or get my hopes up.

Hope ur doing well xx

Thankyou.

I will keep u updated. Goodluck at doctors x

I really really hope they can find something!! I think about u a lot and wonder how everything is going so I'm definitely praying for u.... As for me, I'm not sure what's going on w my body but I do have a doc appt to evaluate my situation. Please keep me posted as I will as well!

Omg ksbh. It can happen obviously. Hope u get a sticky Bfp very soon :)

I've been busy we moved to my parents until our new house is finished. Will be there for about 5 weeks.

I am back on Clomid again this cycle and am having surgery tuesday. Really hope they find something is wrong and fix it and we get our Bfp.

I will be beside myself if it still doesn't happen within a couple cycles.

Hope ur doing ok. So u trying again?

Hi ladies! Hope all is well. Just wanted to update you on what's been up w me. I got a BFP on Sept 8th but ended up having a miscarriage shortly after getting the BFP... The pregnancy was completely a surprise bc I decided to stop trying. Not sure what's going on w my body. But that's my update. Wishing u all much much baby dust!!!

Thanks ksbh. Your so sweet. Bring tears to my eyes.

I understand the whole emotional side of it all and the stress and strain. Sometimes it's easier to just have it in the back of ur mind and the mind set that it'll happen if and when it's meant to. Thankyou for yours prayers.

I say prayers often also :)

Gl to u both and keep me updated xx

Hey ladies :-) It's sooo great to hear from u Dee and my heart goes out to u w all uve been thru this year but u seem to b a very strong woman and I know ull make it!!! Ab22 I'm not sure what's wrong but I've tried Crinone which is for implantation issues due to low progesterone but it has not been successful for me. Ive also been on FertilAid which helps w CM and builds the lining of uterus for healthy implantation but also no success. The strain and stress it takes on my body as well as emotions is sometimes too much for me bc I have a lot going on. But like I always say, if it's meant for me I'll fall pregn w/o knowing I was trying :-D But all is well w me. Ab22 u r constantly in my prayers specifically bc u haven't had ur shot at motherhood yet but I know it's coming and I also pray for all of us for our happiness to be delivered!!! Many blessings ladies and I'm patiently waiting to hear some great news!!!!! Xx :-)

Hi dee, lovely to hear from u :)

Well it seems u are so close to getting a sticky bfp. Just hope next time will be a sticky one. Do u no if u have low progesterone or anything?

I no I'm out again. Feel af cramps :( Very over it. We are only doing one more cycle of Clomid and if bfn then waiting to get my tubes checked to try again cause I feel something must be wrong for it to not happen. We are young, healthy, all tests are great. So it must be something they haven't tested yet like my tubes or something. So there's no point putting more drugs into my system only to get shattered again if it can't happen cause of an issue with my tubes. Feels like a long wait but we will get there one day. I am on a wait list to get them checked and it should be septemer/October hopefully.

How Have u been dee?

I also agree, ksbh u shouldn't give up. I have been at that point so many times but if u give Up then you may regret it later. I think we need to just keep battling on. But I guess for me I have to cause I've got no kids, but I may feel the same way as you if I did have kids. But still, if u want to add to your family then I think you should. What was the issue with why you couldn't fall? It Was an implantation problem wasn't it? There's lots of stuff out there that can help with implantation. Fertile cm tablets are great. Helps with ewcm but also helps build ur whatever it's called lol to help with implantation.

Thanks. Ur so lovely.

I'm sorry for you though. :(

I will keep you updated. I think of you often x

Wow I'm so sorry to hear that about Dee... My prayers go out to her! I'm so glad that u updated me, I frequently check for updates w u. I am always praying for u and ur hubby. I have officially gave up w having another child.... Please check in w me when u can about ur status :-) Many blessings to u!!!

Hi ksbh.

How are you?

Dee lost her baby not long after I told you she got her bfp. It was a tubal pregnancy. I think she lost a tube too :(

I haven't heard from her since.

I am on my third cycle of Clomid now. Still hoping and praying we get our bubba soon.

Hope ur well..

Xx

Thanks for checking up on me Ksbh. I often thing of yourself and dee. Please keep me updated & I will keep you in my prayers. X

Omg!!! That's great! Well I'm happy to hear that for her. And u, that's great ur taking control over ur fertility, I'm wishing u the best!!! For me, I've taken time away frm it and just relaxing, not really trying or timing anything. If it happens then it will b a surprising gift :-) Well please keep me posted on how it's going for u and I'll do the same!

Dee got her BFP!!

She personal messaged me.

Stopped trying and used condoms and one of them must have broken at the right time! Amazing!

I am still ttc. Currently in my Tww & I have a specialist appt in a weeks time to look at more options like chlomid etc

Something to look forward to:)

How are you? Any news?

How is everything Ab22? Dee?

Dee- how are you??

Thanks Ksbh! Can't believe she change it to 2014!! That's ridiculous. Well I got another 2 readings. One from Jenny and one from Suzanne and they both said boy, like ruby and they both said find out feb I'm pregnant. So if I did fall I'd be due October which still lines up with ruby in a way. Not getting my hopes up or believing them till it happens though. I just get very emotional every month.

I have just been taking my vitamins and BD around when I should o and we will see!

How are you?

Hope you had a good Xmas and new years :) x

Honestly Ab22, I wouldn't rely solely on her reading for u. Although on her blog she has a high success rate, on the regular searches under her name, her success rate is not that great! I got 2 readings frm her and the first one said conceive or bfp Jan 2012 and that didn't happen... So mysteriously for the second reading (bf I read others thoughts about their personal experiences w her) it changed to Sept 2014 conveniently... So I'm just saying, don't stop trying like u were just bc of what she said, u just may miss out on ur BFP!!! GL

I'm taking a break girls. I did a ttc ruby reading & she says conceive or find out October this year..I can't take it much longer & am too down.. Ive become too emotional about it all & like you both I am down & out & give up..

I'll check in every now and then but won't be here too often.

Gl to you girls and you will be in my thoughts xx

So sorry Ab22! Great ur staying positive! Still keeping u in my prayers. Xx

Af arrived. Onto month 12;( new it was coming so I'm ok..

Trying to remain positive.

Will keep you posted if and when I get my BFP.Gl ladies. Keep me posted if anything does happen even tho ur not ttc anymore. Fingers still crossed for u xx

Hi girls,

Hope your well.

I'm feeling down today. 12dpo and feel Af on her way. Had all the usual 'symptoms', different to every other month but still nothing ;( I always get down at this stage of the cycle cause my hopes come crashing down..anyhow, got to keep looking forward I guess. I am going to start swimming and running from next wk to try feel better about myself..12 months next cycle. Going to keep just taking multi vitamins and hoping..next month we are going away so I'm going to drink and relax.. Thinking of you girls..I do keep you in my prayers. Xx

Please make sure u do and thank you! :-)

Thanks Ksbh:) that's lovely. I am sorry things haven't turned out for you but I do believe if it's meant to be then it will be. Maybe it'll happen now you have accepted that it hasn't and might not & if it doesn't happen then I guess like you said you do have 2 still..I wish you all the best..

I will keep you updated :) xx

GL Ab22 and fingers crossed :-) I have officially stopped trying and decided to accept the 2 I have and accept that it's not for me to have anymore. I do however keep a look out on here to see how u ladies r doing bc I'm really rooting for u Ab22!!! Please keep me posted on how it goes for u and everything!

Well I think I'm a couple dpo now. Not really sure. Had a full blown positive OPK monday morning but since I stopped taking soy iso I don't really feel o pains so I think it's happened but who nos! If it did then it means a 34 day cycle which is my shortest yet :) maybe my body just needed me to take elevit and nothing else to sort itself out. Am feeling really anxious already, hate the Tww so much!!

How are you girls going? Where are you in your cycles? Gl xx

Hope you ladies had a good Xmas and new years!!

I'm feeling very fat from eating and drinking too much! I am going to go for a walk/run tomorrow morning then back to work the day after that. Not keen lol

Hope 2012 is our year for a BFP:) Gl and keep us posted xx

Merry Christmas to you ladies! Hoping and wishing for the same!!!

Merry christmas ladies. Two more sleeps but thought I'd get in early as we will all be busy..

I hope the new year brings us all everything we wish for. Will keep you in my prayers xx

Thanks girls :)

Understand dee. You are right, if you got your two beautiful boys without 'trying' as such then it will happen when it's meant to. The advice I get from everyone is that it happens when you stop 'trying' & I can see they are right. The stress becomes too much. Mother nature will take it's cause and give us all what we would love and deserve..

This month I am probably not going to do OPKs or anything. Just BD when we feel like and I do know roughly when I should ovulate so I'll just make sure we BD around then but I'm not going to stress too much..

I have misplaced my HPTs which is probably a good thing so from now on there will be no testing unless Af is a few days late.

From my experience in ttc something I learned is that if I went off my symptoms from after o to about 10dpo could swear I am preg. Killer boobs etc. 10dpo it disappears and the Af cramping starts. This is because the rise in progesterone causes boobs to hurt etc and when it starts to drop off at around 10dpo that's when the boobs stop hurting and Af symptoms start. Makes sense to me! So don't even bother looking into symptoms until 12dpo or more if you don't notice Af normal symptoms. The progesterone increasing is what gives us hope that we might be pregnant but infact it's just false symptoms..

Well, Xmas in 1 week!! Hope you all have a great week xx

Very happy to hear the good news Ab22! It will happen in due time

I ended up being able to go to the doctors this afternoon and all is good. Feel better now. He said I Definately did ovulate with a progesterone level of 61. Other doctor had no idea lol and said my cyst is nothing to be worried about at this stage as I am ovulating etc so unless I stop ovulating or get pain then there is no need to do anything. Got Af this morning:( hate Af lol oh well cd1 again and no Xmas pressie for me. Just on to keep trying and see what happens now!! Gl to you girls and I hope you are both well.

Keep me posted. Hoping for someone to get an unexpected BFP for Xmas :) xx

Dee- sounds like you have had irregular cycles and I don't think you got a positive ovulation test the months you tested? Might be best to use this break time to get your cycles on track so when you are ready again it will be easier hopefully. Is everything ok? Is there a reason why it's on hold?

I understand Ksbh- it gets too stressful doesn't it. I find I can't just switch off, I relax a fair bit all month but when Af is near I become totally emotional, get physically ill because I so want a BFP and not Af. It's too hard isn't it! Its either ttc and give it our all or just quit lol I almost feel like going back on bcp just to get over this emotional rollercoaster and the stress but I no that it won't help because I'll have to go through everything again when I decide to go back off bcp so I'm better off just trying to forget about it, stress less and see what happens. Unfortunately for us we can't control this and there is no point stressing over something that's out of our control!!..

I have a doctors appt next Tuesday. Am looking forward to it so I can discuss options and get some good advice, hopefully. Dh is coming with me.

Af is due any day now- should be Friday. I can't find my pregnancy tests- I either hid them and forgot or dh hid them lol positive I'm not preg though, feel the same as every other month.

I really do pray everything will work out for us all very soon..

Gl ladies xx

I'm doing good Dee! Thanks for asking. I decided to give ttc a rest for now as well; was getting a lil too stressful for me, Lol. Hope everything is going good for u :-)

Ab22- I also think its a great idea to get that second opinion and ur resolution to all of this is very near :-) Please do keep us posted! Many blessing ladies!!!

Thanks dee.

I feel very down and upset today. It is silly but I'm just over the emotions we go through each month of ttc. I want it to be over. I'm going to see another doctor next week for a second opinion and what we should do. My husband spoke to his mum about it and she said two of his aunties had cysts and had key hole surgery to remove them & they clean you out and both of them feel pregnant straight after it so I feel better knowing that..

Thanks for your support girls. I do hope that I won't need to make an appointment ;)

How are you dee? Everything ok?

Xx

Thanks Ksbh:)

I will probably wait until the new year to see a specialist. I still believe I did ovulate because i had a positive ovulation test and pain so I'm still hoping that I'll get my BFP.

How are you doing?

I'm off work today and going to get my hair done :)

Have a good day, I'm also praying for you xx

I'm so sorry to hear that Ab22!! I believe that the fertility specialist will b able to answer all ur questions, concerns and doubts about what's going on... There's a lot that can assist w conception and just bc u utilize that help doesnt make u less of a woman or future mother; it just makes u strong and brave! I'm praying for u and I'm hoping that something will come up for u. The good thing is now u know why it's taken so long and now u know what avenue to take to go further. Don't give up; theres a bean w ur name on it :-) Many Blessings!!!

Thankyou for helping me also.. Xx

I had my ultrasound and blood test Monday to check I ovulated and make sure I don't have cysts. I went back this morning to get them and they said they couldn't tell if I ovulated again and also I have a cyst. They have given me a fertility specialist referral. Ive been crying all morning. I can't even be bothered anymore, just feels like it's not meant to be :( my cyst is on my right ovary and it's 14mm. My ovary is 7mm. Does anyone no much about cysts and if this is big and what happens etc? Might seem like a stupid question but is your left and right ovary the same as ur right and left hand. Reason is they said my right ovary has the cyst but it's my left ovary that has pain all the time- according to left and right hand..

;( so now I am not sure if I ovulated or not and when Af will be due. I probably will go to a fertilty specialist in the new year to get more tests to make sure I do ovulate and make sure the cyst is ok..

Gl ladies..xx

Thanks Ksbh! That's a lovely message from you :)

I had my doctors appointment this morning. Get my results in another 2 days time. The doctor said that from my ultrasound it looks like I have ovulated:) I am pretty confident I have..just hope we caught the egg!

It would be the worlds best Xmas present!!

I hope you are doing ok Ksbh..I think of yourself and Dee often and hope you are both doing ok.. I haven't been as active on pink pad! It's still good to check on you girls very couple of days though! I do hope there is a BFP amongst one of us very soon!

Have a good day xx

I'm so happy to hear the great news Ab22!!!! Doing big and great things, now that is awesome :-) I love how proactive ur being w making sure everything is going along w ur body and preparing for ur pregnancy; I think that's a wonderful thing to do..... This will b ur Christmas present!!!! A BFP! Fxxxx. Also so agree that u should b excited and want ur little precious bean; u and ur husband I'm sure deserve it and been waiting for just a beautiful and exciting thing to happen for u both and I know that God is going to bless y'all! GL! Keep us all posted and I can't wait to hear of the exciting news and journey :-) Xxx

Sdawson- So very excited and happy for u!!! Many congrats :-)

Dee- hope everything is going great for you! Many wishes :-)

Got my positive OPK this morning! Cd23 as always the last 4 months. Have BD this morning :) I also have my doctors appointment in two mornings time. They are taking bloods to check my progesterone levels to make sure I Definately did ovulate & they are doing an ultrasound to check I don't have cysts and everything looks good..something to look forward to I guess!

Our house building is going ahead. Our land exchanged yesterday. It's something to be excited about & has Definately been keeping my mind off ttc!!

Hope your both doing ok Ksbh and dee..

Have a good day xx

That sucks Ksbh:( I'm so sorry..hopefully you will get a BFP right in time for Xmas..

I'm due to ovulate today or tomorrow. Been having ovulation pains. We have been doing so much BD. It seems it's really just the luck of the draw. I'm feeling pretty relaxed and ok but deep down still want it more then anything. It's too hard to just forget about it as you all know..

Hope you are ok dee!!

Gl ladies, thinking of you xx

AF showed last night! CD 2....

That's great news sdawson. I seen on another post u got ur BFP! Must be so exciting!!

Gl to the rest of us still ttc..xx

that is good you all r taking a relaxd approach thay what I did this cycle to. I just bd every othr night and just didmt think about it as job just a way of being pleased and my df getting pleased.

Hope you get a surprise Ksbh. You seem a lot more relaxed which is good. I think it's good we are all taking that approach. Gl ladies and keep us posted xx

I'm dpo 9. I'm pretty sure nothing happened bc I wasn't trying this month (only had sex once) so just rooting for u all :-) Fx and GL!!!

Any updates?

I'm about cd 9. Been super busy and busy weekend ahead which is good. Times going fast:) you girls would be close to o or already have o? Gl. I hope at least one of us get a BFP this month..all would be fan bloody tactic lol have a great weekend xx

Sounds promising sdawson! Hope she is right :)

@dee I am doing fine. Af showed her ugly face. I started the smep this cycle and so far I think I timed it right. On cd14 I felt what I think was O pains. I had never felt that pain before on my left side. It made my say ouch and it lasted for a moment there. I got my reading from cheri22 the baby pyschi and she said November will be my month to conceive, find out, or give birth and it will be a boy. So fx for all. Next Af is 11/27 I hope she don't show. I am 1-2DPO.

How are you girls? I'm ok. Still got Af should be finishing soon hopefully. Not taking soy iso this cycle so will be interesting to see if and when I ovulate!! Work is starting to be boring as it's slowing down for the festive season. I'm looking forward to a week off over Xmas :) xx

BFP for Xmas would be the best thing ever :) hope so..surely at least one of US will get a BFP for Xmas!! Xx

Well I'm glad for u that AF showed up at least so u can start over. Ur plan sounds great! I think that it's just all in perfect timing and when it's for us :-) I'm hoping for BFP for Christmas for us as well.... Xx

Hi ladies.

Ksbh- sounds like a good idea to get tablets!

Well Af arrived this morning heavy!! ;( I am not feeling too down as I'm just glad it's showed so I can start over again. This cycle I'm using OPKs so I no when I o and I'm taking elevit multi vitamin and that's it..will see! I am going to take epo whilst I have Af but stop after that as I think it helped with cm last month but I think that's what made my cycle so long..I think I must have o around cd30 as I'm about cd45 today.

I think it's best to just test if af is Late Ksbh :)

Dh did a sperm test yesterday. Will get results in the next couple of days..looking forward to it! If Nothings wrong there then if say it's just bad luck so far as we Definately BD enough around o!! Am over it though.

Hopefully we all get our bfps in time for Xmas :) xx

Maybe after u test again and no BFP u should get a blood test to confirm if ur pregn or not bf u start the Virtex so if u r it won't interfere w ur pregnancy...... just a thought :-)

I'm feeling good :-) No worries, no cares, Lol. Not gonna try anymore; if it happens then it happens and the only time I will test is if AF is a no show. As far as my uterus, I was thinking about calling my doc for him to call in the progesterone tablets so i can take right after i ovulate but not sure... Fx for BFP for Christmas!!!

So sorry to hear that Ab22.... I just knew this one was urs :-( Been waiting all day for ur update....... I'm hoping for the best for u

Well it's another bfn on both ic and frer. So I think I didn't ovulate at all and Af will just show when she feels like it..so over it. Cd43/44. I just want it to hurry up so I can start a new cycle. I'll be using OPKs because I found it more stressfull not using them as now it looks like I didn't ovulate at all..I'll start some vitex today to try bring Af on..;(

Thanks Ksbh. I'm glad you'd still be happy for me :) no Af still. Testing tomorrow morning. Have no BFP symptoms but no Af symptoms. Will keep you updated :)

That's so exciting getting a house built!! I'm so happy for u and ur husband :-) I think ur pregnant Ab22!!!!! When r u gonna test? I can't wait (like it's for me) :-):-)

That's the best way to be Ksbh!! It'll probably happen in no time now that you will be more relaxed. Fx for you!

I'm hoping I do get my BFP but I am so over waiting. I think I'm on cd41 today! Longest cycle. I just want Af to hurry up and not tease me if I'm not pregnant!

Time will tell!

If I'm not pregnant then I will be doing the same as you and relaxing more again. We are building a house so I'm that consumed with that at the moment it's good!!

Gl for the new month ladies :) fx for you. Xx

I'm good. Not thinking about ttc, not trying, not keeping track of my temps, not using opk's. Just gonna let nature take its course. My partner and I do not live together and so I was stressing about timing but now if we happen to BD when I ovulate then there would b a chance of pregnancy, if we don't then there won't b. I realize that I've been stressing way too much over getting pregnant. I never went thru all of these hoops w tryn to have any of my other children so I'm gonna go w just going w the idea "if it happens then it'll happen. If its meant to b then it'll b" :-)

Things look very promising for u Ab22!!!! So excited to see what happens... BFP!!!!! Waiting patiently for ur results :-) :-) :-)

I'm now 5 days late for Af!! If shes not here in two more days ill test. I either ovulated late so af would be Due Any day now or I Didnt ovulate so ill need to try bring af on. I think I Did ovulate though..How's everyone else going?

I caved an tested. Bfn :(

I hope I either ovulated late and that's why otherwise it is because I didnt ovulate at all- first 6 months off bcp I didn't ovulate at all and Af never came, had spotting here and there and this was to be my third regular and ovulating cycle in a row. I really don't want to go backwards and not ovulate or get Af again as there is no hope then..wish me luck! I'll keep you posted if Af comes. I'm not going to test now unless she isn't here in another 4/5 days as if I ovulate late that's about when Af should be due..praying for a BFP still but not too Hopefull! Have a good day girls xx

Thanks dee;)

Af still hasn't arrived. I don't know what to think. I'm too scared to test, I feel like she's going to be here any minute but have felt like that for days now which normally I only get Af pains the day prior or day of. I think I either ovulated later-according to o pain and cm it didn't stop until about cd29/30 so maybe I am only like 10 dpo? I have no idea! Itd be a miracle if I got my BFP. I will test tomorrow morning if no Af again.

Dee- I guess if you did have 2 bubs without trying too hard that it will happen without you having to stress and spend money on OPKs etc. I think just take a multi vitamin- elevit :) that's what I have started & relax. In saying that it might be a good idea to get OPKs off eBay- I got more yesterday 30 for $8. They work great for me and are cheap! Id start cd14 once a day then Maybe twice a day if you haven't got a pos by cd21- I think your pos should be cd21/22/23 due to ur cycle length. Doing the OPKs might make you feel less stressed as you will no if you are ovulating and when so if this cycle isn't a success then next cycle you won't need to use them as you will no :)

I didn't use OPKs this month- I did a few times but didn't see my pos as I ran out. I think it made it more stressfull for me as I was thinking Omg am I ovulating? I haven't BD enough, I must BD just in case lol I'll be doing OPKs this new cycle (if no BFP but fx) mainly because I'm not going to be taking soy which normally induce my o so I want to make sure I am going to o without them..

And you thought your response was long! Lol mines huge!

How are you Ksbh?

It's my weekend. I'm going to do some housework and thinking of painting. We need to get our current house finished so we can sell it and build our place :) xx

Hi girls!

Dee- maybe vitex is making it less heavy etc- I think it's meant to help with pms so maybe it makes the flow and Colour change! Not sure. How are you today?

Well Af hasn't arrived. Not got my hopes up at all because I don't feel pregnant. I have felt like she's going to be here any minute the last two days and today but nothing still..I just wish shed hurry up and come if she's going to so I can start a new cycle..If Shes still not here sunday morning I'll test.

How are you ksbh? Feeling any better? You mentioned something about maybe having a problem where the egg and sperm find it hard implanting. Is there a vitamin or something that might help strengthen ur uterus make it more friendly lol? Xx

Hey Ab22! How's it going? Did AF stay away?? Please update us :-) Fx!!!!!

Thanks dee:) I'm sorry Af showed for you also. Us three aren't having much luck are we!! Hope we all get our BFP this new cycle so we get the best Xmas present of all. Dh and I have decided to build a house so I'm going to be flat out with that. I no I need to not let it get to me so much, as you both know it's so hard! I still haven't got Af yet but it should come in the next two days..

Here's hoping to three BFPs in December!! Xx

Thankyou :) I wish you all the best also. You are still young! Definately should be able to have a baby anyhow!! I understand what you are going through. I almost feel like going back on the pill and giving up but I know that is silly..might as well stay off the pill and it Will happen when it's meant to..I think we need to learn to be as healthy as we can and to enjoy sex in general and our lives as they are because god has a plan for us and everything happens for a reason..we will be busy over the festive season and I guess we have to take our mind off it and see what happens. Expect Af to show every month so we aren't so let down and if it doesn't then do a pregnancy test. It's easier said then done that is forsure!! Ttc is not fun at all...xx

Well, I'm 32. Thank u so much for ur kind words :-) U r very pretty as well! I really have just lost interest in wanting to try again; I don't think it's for me. I think ur plan of action is a good one, it really may help! I really feel the same about the support w u, ur very caring! I really wish u the best Ab22, I really want u to get that BFP!!

How old are you Ksbh? You def don't look old in your photo- you are very pretty:) well I can't stop crying. Bfn on Hpt and blood test. Af will be here any day now I can feel it coming. Onto month 9 and just feel so down. Have decided to not use OPKs, not take soy iso or drink green or red rasp tea. I'm going to take folic acid and elevit only and just BD when we feel like it but at least every second day around fertile time. I'll also use preseed. I have ran out of applicators. Can you buy just the applicators? Do you know? What's ur plan of attack this month? I'll still stay on this one thread for support but that's it:) I find it does help having someone- yourself and dee- to talk to..I've also got a blood test booked cd24 to make sure I ovulate this next cycle and an ultrasound same day to make sure I haven't for any cysts or anything like that..that will help me also. Festive season is near so here's to hoping we all get our BFP in time for Christmas..xx

Oh Ab22, I'm sorry to hear that but as u know, ur not out until AF shows so there's still some hope! But I totally understand where ur coming frm bc it's sooo frustrating giving it all u have and it's still not enough; I'm praying for ur BFP!!

I think I'm just totally too old to have another baby and my body is given up. I KNOW I'm conceiving bc I know my body, i feel the moment of attempted implantation and how my AF flows so hard, clotty and extremely heavy and that's not normal AFs for me. For whatever reason, my body won't allow the egg to implant and stay implanted. I feel like I'm losing control over my body and it's just not for me anymore :-(

Well I caved and did a test this afternoon at 11dpo on an Internet cheapie and a frer. Both neg! I no your meant to use fmu but I'm pretty much 100percent sure Af is going to visit in 3 days. Got the back ache today and tiredness and cramping- exactly like last month ;( I'm so down already and she hasn't came cause I know she's going to. I dont no what else we can do. We have BD every second day so sperm are stronger, have stayed in bed all night and hips up on a pillow for 30 plus mins, went away around o time so we were more relaxed, didn't use OPKs, relaxed a lot more etc and still nothing! I'm beginning to think it's never going to happen, I just want to see two lines on a test so bad and be able to tell dh we are having a baby..I'm sorry for ranting I'm just over it all, how is it fair. I no you feel the same Ksbh..it's just too hard!! I have long cycles which makes it even worse because it takes another whole 37 days to see if ill be preg again..

Hope you do get ur BFP dee. Gl. I'll keep you posted on what doctors say about my levels. I'm hoping there's a hormone that's totally out and that's why I haven't got my BFP so then I'll be happier to know I have hope once I get medication to fix it:)..xx

Sounds like you BD on the right days..not sure about the Af thing though. Have you tested? If so it should either be pos or pos within two days of ib..

Hi everyone sorry I haven't been on in a while. Just been busy with studying and school. Okay this is whats up. I started the SMEP this cycle 09/30/11. Tell me what you think about all this.

CD 3,5,6,7 BD had watery cm

CD 8,9 watery cm and 10,11 EWCM didn't get to BD bc my husband was out of town so we did it before he left and when he came home.

CD 12,13,14 Bd with EWCM

CD 15 EWCM and CD 16 sticky.

FF say O'vd between CD13-15. I think I O'vd CD 15 bc on CD16 I was non fertile. AF was due 10/29/11. I started having brown spotting around 10am ystrday and is still having it. Used 2 pads the whole time. When I look in the toilet it is red but brown on the pad and tp when I wipe. No clots or cramps like normally. It don't even smell like blood. Normally with my AF it has the smell of fresh blood. (SORRY TMI). What do yall think. Could this be IB or just AF. If I O'vd when I think I did on CD15 that mean my egg was fertilized on CD16/17. Meaning I was 14DPO when I started spotting and 12/13 DPO from when fertilization happen If I concieved. ANY advice would be APPRECIATED.

I got my blood test this morning. Will get results in two days! Mm want to know now!! Not feeling positive anymore- feel like I'm out again. Don't really have Af or BFP symptoms. Nothing at all. Trying to remain Hopefull though. How are you Ksbh? Hope ur feeling better?

I no- can't wait to go to the docs just so I no. Especially because if I didn't o then I can't be pregnant. Will see:)

I've been flat out all wkend has been great to keep me busy!

Hopefully you do get ur BFP and you will be surprised:) keep us updated! Gl x

How are you dee? Any possible symptoms? I'm ok..nothing major. Have had cramping on and off ever since the day I should have o so I'm hoping that's a good sign but who nos! Boobs are totally fine, backs not sore etc I go to the doctors tomorrow morning for a blood test to check all my hormones and to see if I did o! I'm excited about that as I want to know I did actually o and all my hormone levels are fine :)
