Awww, Hope!!!! Too adorable! Isn't that the most beautiful photo....truly a blessing!!!

Hope ~ WoW!!! It feels amazing seeing that little beanie, mine was half the size of yours when I last saw him/her on the screen. I have the pic with me. I look at it all the time. Needless to say, I'm so in love with my lil angel.
My next apptt is on 5/5 when I get to hear the heartbeat. tick-tick-tick...
Sorry about your m/s...guess I have to continue with my part time job...

Indie ~ Ok here's a jig from my side too...

I remember Hope or Nikki had some herbal ginger tea to bring on their AF. Our part of the world, sesame seeds is also considered good to bring on AF. So next time you can add that to your wide range of cuisines.

Kbat ~ This is your time dear!!! Sending lots of PMA and yes, a very strong chi!!! On an interesting note, (don't consider me mad!!!) but I changed my bedroom curtains to red with orange colour just before ET this time and the result was BFP!!! I don't know whether this was the reason but this was one of the things I did differently this time. I read somewhere that in China, red colour is considered as a sign of fertility. So with PMA sending loads of RED your way!!!

Nikki~Have a relaxing and happy weekend, enjoy every moment of it, because you deserve it.

Mia ~ Well, I am missing my bundle of papers/notebooks... But not complaining...the cost is worth anything else in the world. Oh..ya...this vegetarian doesn't even like fish
We are totally relying on lots of veggies, dairy products like yoghurt cheese etc., rice, fruits etc.etc. and with lots of spices. So my tacos will be different than yours but I bet you will relish it too.

Chris ~ Hope you are having a nice time with your new...no now slightly old RE. I bet he is lucky for you.

WISHING ALL MY SISTERS A VERY HAPPY AND RELAXING WEEKEND!!!

[IndieBlue]

LOL, I put some sesame seeds in my marinade tonight for our teriyaki pork....so we'll see I have some tea (non herbal) with cinnamon and ginger...etc but I don't think it does anything LOL I'll have to drink some more this evening.

I said on another board that I'm amazed that my mind is this strong....I feel like a Jedi! LMBO! Maybe I should try to harness this brain power for good....

[nicaliw]

Indie, it was me that used ginger tea to bring on AF and it worked. Well, it could have been a coincidence but its worth trying. Hope AF arrive very soon so you can get going with your cycle.

Hope....SO amazing to see you baby picture. Very, very happy for you. I hope to have one to share in a few weeks. You're probably already doing this but in my first pregnancy in 2000 I read that one of the B vitamins helped m/s so I tried it and it really helped me a lot. I can't remember which B vit but it wouldn't be hard to find out. Sorry you're feeling icky. In a morbid way I wish I had some m/s......maybe I'll be wishing the opposite in a few weeks.

So, only 2 more days til my beta and I'm so curious to know what the number is. Actually, as long as its positive its all good. Hpt's are still BFP and the lines are getting darker. I am still stunned. Really doubted this would work since my RE recommended cancelling the cycle!!
I have to say I am very emotional. I cry at everything, even stupid stufff like yesterday I was watching Roseanne and cried cause Dan and Becky were fighting. Oh my goodness! I'm also exhausted! Right now I am laying on the couch....seems to be a common place to find me now. Just have no energy left by about 4pm. Wah.....wouldn't trade it for the world, though.

[IndieBlue]

Awww Nicaliw!!! I remember being so tired too, midday naps and 7pm bedtimes LOL I was NOT the life of any party...hahaha. Oooo, my son just turned it on a 3D ultrasound show, be right back!!!

Okay...that was boring LOL Mostly showed how they used it on heart patients with just a few quick clips of baby ultrasounds. Speaking of, do any of you plan on having a 3D or 4D done? A local fertility office offers it for 100.00 here in town....I don't think I'd do it though? But, I'm not even 1/2 way there yet so who knows LOL

So back to you Nicaliw, I'm so glad that the line is getting darker...YAY!!! I can't wait to hear your beta, and more importantly...your first ultrasound to count those little ones!

Well, off to bed....tired tired tired. Side effect of AF, although she's still NOT here!!!! Of course hubby is using this to his advantage....like he's trying to 'help' me start!!! Men, LOL!!!

[sonu911]

Ladies...pl pray for me.
I had brown spotting hour and a half back. Though it was n't much but that colour has struck the panic chord within me.
I am terribly worried.

God, pl...make this happen, don't break my heart!!

[kbat]

sonu--I'll pray for you...

From what I've read, brown spotting isn't a bad thing. It could be implanting bleeding....

[kbat]

Sending out good vibes to you Sonu.

[IndieBlue]

Praying for you Sonu!!! I've read a LOT about women spotting though, early in pregnancy...so just take it easy for the rest of the day and tomorrow!!!

[sonu911]

Dear Kbat and Indieblue,

Thanks for your prayers. It means a lot to me.

The night has passed without any uneventful happening. I checked my pantyliner several times at night (sorry TMI), I haven't spotted after that....fingers crossed!!! So hope everything is fine.

((HUGS))

[IndieBlue]

Sonu....checking mine every few hours right along with you! LOL Argghhh, will that AF never show!!! I'm so glad you made it through the night without any other spotting. It's probably just a bit of blood/spotting from all those blood vessels and things stretching to accomodate your little one! Again, I've read it's pretty normal....but I'll keep praying for you.
