SILVER (i think buy the time i post as it will be long lol)

Hi lovely ladies.

Im back for personals. Here goes:

Gisses - Any more news? Have you tried a first response? Feb is turning out to be a dud month for everyone. Im in the FEB is my month thread too and only had a few BFPs so far and were nearing the end of the month, last month we had heaps though. lol to the kitchen floor baby while i had a natural birth 6 days early i was in prelabour for 9 days and it sucked, + 11 hours of normal labour. I hope the next one is quicker and easier to push out!

Psst - Sorry you didnt get a +OPK but at least you got some good BD'ing in. What ever works is my motto too. I hope you get your BFP soon!

Mumma - Thanks for the costs about IVF im hoping i dont need it. I said before i probably wouldnt do it but that was for the assumed costs of 10K but for a few grand i would look into it if needed but of course im praying i dont! So glad that the eggs are fertilised good luck for Monday! I reckon you are going to be our first BFP for the month.

Bellefin: Im praying for a 2012 baby too but maybe im gonna end up with a 2013 one. Glad your DH decided to do a SA hopefully there isnt anything wrong there. Hopefully the bloods and pessaries help you out this month for a BFP!

Smileyhappy - Goodluck for the BFP sounds like you got lots of BD'ing in! I dont usually stick my bum in the air BUT i do make sure that i dont get out of bed all night lol

Cheri- Im also swaying for anything now, i really wanted to sway for a boy but i decided im happy if i have 2 girls and my DD can have a sister i always wanted one when i was younger. I do have a sister now but was only a baby when i was ready to leave home so it didnt count lol Im also addicted to TTC i think its also the nurse im me which likes to know all the ins and outs so i can help other people if needed. Im praying the Vitex works for us this cycle!

Carol - Not sure about the herbs besides the Vitex which i decided to take myself after research and email advice from my natropath friend ive decided to try it for a little while and see how it goes. Maybe just do the same?

Jess - Hope your feeling better but i have to agree with the others that your chances seem really high with the quality of eggies you have so fingers crossed it works for you when they finally put them in. Medicare are usually pretty good for me sometimes i get the money back before the money is even taken out of my credit card!

Duck - Sorry AF arrived. I would be freaked out by the Cadavers too we didnt have to deal with them for my nursing course thank god and so far i havent had to deal with any dead bodies yet either but im sure my time will come. Not sure on the CS scar issues either sorry.

Andrea - Do you have an Ipad or laptop you can take on the plane to entertain your LO. We did that for DD and she was quiet the whole trip. We bribe too it works lol

Aurora - Your making me jealous all this talk of Paris and holidays. Ive never been to the UK i hope we can go when the kids are a bit older

V's Mummy
- Welcome i hope your stay is short. I take the Vitamin B6 as recommended by my gene specialist at first i didnt know what it was for but learnt that it increases LP dont think its working in my case though cos my LP is only 8-10 days, so i decided to take Vitex this cycle as its also supposed to help.

Hi to everyone else i missed!

AFM - CD11 today, managed to BD last night and going to continue every 2 days until i see clear thermal shift. Did an OPK this morning and looks to be getting darker so i hope thats a sign that O will be a few days away and not CD18-19 like it has been.

BRONZE woo hoo!!!

Hi ladies!

mummamajeena - fantastic news on 6 fertilised and healthy embies and possibly some more!! Great news and hurry up Monday!!!

clm1982 - yeah DS loves to play some games I downloaded for him on my iPhone so that keeps him pretty occupied. And before we flew to Malaysia last year I brought him a small magnadoodle (well that's what they were called when I was a kid!!) and he loves that. We also take it everywhere with us now, out to tea etc! Plus he loves sticker books etc so we can normally keep him pretty occupied on a flight! At least 1hr 35mins to Sydney is better than 8hrs to Malaysia!!! Ooh sounds like you'll get your positive OPK a little earlier this month, great news!!

OMG triplets!!! ohmy.gif Does she already have any kids?!! Wow instant family!!

V's mummy - actually I don't know how I'm managing to resist peeing in a cup?!! I guess because we've kept up with the BDing it doesn't really matter! I know I haven't O yet though based on CM and CD! so did you get your positive OPK today??

Hi everyone else!

Nothing new to report from yesterday!! Based on CM haven't O yet, only CD12. I'm guessing Monday but wait and see!

Proud BFAR mum 12 months!
Morning all!

Duck-o-lah I have heard that CS scarring can prevent an emby from implanting if it tries to implant on the scar. But I'm no doctor obviously, just trying to rule out things for myself.

gisses CD11, one of the most exciting days of the month! All full of hope. Good luck. My birthday is 21st December and it causes nothing but trouble now, I hate Xmas time and I don't want a babies birthday mixed up with it all. I will keep trying naturally but not going to take any drugs to force it that month.

V's mummy Hi waves.gif I didn't have a CS, but a have a friend that did and went on to have a drug free VBAC and was fine.

Hi AJ 29 weeks! I still remember when you got BFP...crazy!

Mummamajeena DH wanted to give DD chocolate for going to the toilet and I said no! Don't open that can of worms, because she is so demanding. So we used stickers and after about 3 days she went to the toilet and forgot about the stickers anyway. I work in behaviour management, we use the word positive reinforcement, not bribery haha. Incentive is also a good one. You must be getting excited, only days away. It drags doesn't it? I was reading in an AC forum that the main thing with AC is waiting and more waiting. So you have 6 ready to go? Do they choose the strongest looking one to put in?

Andrea DD wanted to wear undies to daycare a few weeks ago and wet them twice so I sent her in a nappy the next time. Then the time after that she wore undies and they said they found her in the toilet more than once taking herself! She's only just turned 2. They learn it really quickly. She wouldn't do a poo so I had to put a nappy on her to do a poo but after 3 days she did it in the toilet too. She still can't tell the difference between needing to do a poo but she knows once it's on the way out. TT is awesome, I love not having to do the whole nappy thing.

clm1982 Twins I would like but triplets ohmy.gif wow does she have any other kids? Was that a natural conception? Exciting though as long as they are healthy and stay on the inside long enough. Send her on over to Baby Names, we love helping decide names for multiples!

Jess How you holding up? You have been waiting soooo long, what's a few more weeks right? Remember they kept delaying you by another month and month and month, but you are getting closer now, I'm warming up for my dance, I know we all are.

Hi everyone else, all busy with OPKs, vitex and everything!!

AFM- DP got his SA results. It was 146,000,000 per ml which is super A+. Is that 146 million? Per ml? And great mobility so he is feeling all manly now, told all the guys at work haha. I am 11dpo and no sign of AF and temp still high which means I will be having a longer LP yay. Last two cycles have been 9 and 10 days. I keep having dreams about getting BFP, they are so real, I come on here and post to you guys and I go about the thing I was going to do that day, it's soooo real. And then I wake up. Blah.

Hey Bellefin! We must have been posting at the same time!! Oh wow your DD is a clever little vegemite, got TT done at 2! Nice work! Totally agree with you about the nappy thing though! So nice not to change them! Not that DS was going through many a day but still nice, not to mention the money!! Not sure what DS will do when it comes to a poo, I think he's a bit unsure about doing it on the toilet so will probably wait for his night time nappy or something!!

Wow no wonder your DP is feeling very manly!!! I have no idea what's "normal" with a sperm count but that's a lot of swimmers!!! Fingers crossed for you, things looking good this cycle so far!

clm- triplets OMG? conceived naturally? i have to say that would be my worst nightmare too, I couldn't cope!

bellefin- awesome news about the spermies. it's good to get that concern out of the way. yeah we used stickers for DS TTing also and yes he also forgot about teh stickers in a few days.

jess- how are you doing? any news about what happens next in regards to a frozen transfer?

Nothing here, no embie updates today. Have spent a lovely day with DS at a gorgeous beach so we're both happy original.gif

Hi Ladies, How are you on this friday afternoon?



Mumma- Thats very good news about your 6 fertilised eggs, cant wait for your next update and goodluck for monday to.

V's Mummy- Hello, and welcome. Its hard to take the relaxed approach, I find myself after 4 unsuccessful cycles just take the relaxed approach but its easier said then done. DH and I also have a daughter she is going to be 18 months this sunday, arent girls just so much fun? all the best on your first month will be looking for your BFP in a couple of weeks for sure!.

clm1982- Holy moly triplets! what a blessing. What a shock it would of been for her though. p.s have fun catching your egg over the next couple of days.

Andrea- Very good idea not peeing in cups I felt the same last month, this month I was back doing it and well 3 days of positives just about did my head in so who knows if we dont get pregnant this month next month I'm throwing the cups and buying a temperature taker. CD 12 already times flying.

Bellefin- Nice result for your DH! and 11dpo and high temps looking very good for you. ME TO having dreams on BFP twice this month I've woken up and it felt soooo real only to be not real, if only life were a dream hey?. all the best for you this month be checking in to see your BFP I'm sure in no time.

Aurora- You never know you may have still got the timing right, goodluck when you do a test of the 22nd. p.s your little boy Levi is adorable your picture is just devine those eyes so sweet.

duck o lah- How are you going this month? oh I would cry to if I were in your lab.

gisses- I hope you get a good answer in the next few days and AF does not show.

jess- How are you going? have you got plans for the weekend? Our list that you do so well seems to be getting longer we need some BFP's this month to make it alot shorter dont you reckon?

AFM- CD20, Im in my TWW but we are still BDing every second day just incase this is a longer cycle but I have a feeling it wont be. Tesing on the 25th hope the next week goes fast. Have a great weekend everyone and those who are catching the egg GOODLUCK!!

Nawwww Jess!!! You made me SMILE!!! I see you put my mantra in our thread list - love ya work!! You inspired me to add it to my signature!!!

Hi girls! AF has taken it out of me this month - been a weird one ... spotting, then 3 day AF and now back to spotting. I'm wondering if it's always been like this but i've always classified it as 5 days. Weird. Anyhoo.

Well - i did hot yoga today and dedicated my practice to 'becoming more fertile' haha ... i hope it worked, I know one thing I was soooo tired afterwards that I slept for an hour on the couch this afternoon! yikes!!

Also - quick question ... how do you decide the difference between 'light' and 'spotting' on Fertility Friend? I'm a little confused right now ... my herbs seem to have given me the 'power AF' all out and fast! I had a really heavy painful first day, then medium 2nd, then light 3rd and now i guess spotting! Anyone else experienced this?

I'm so tired right now that i'll pop back later for more in depth personals!! Please don't think i've missed any of you - i've ready everything just so knackered! Hope this is a good sign!!
