where are you all? how is life, bumps etc?
i cant ebelieve i have been ttc for 11 months (14 cycles) already. i know there is more of us and ones who have been trying for longer but i havent heard from a lot recently.
i was pming the lovely michelle the other day and it really hit home how much i miss the girls who were here when i joined.
i know you are all about somewhere so why not drop us a line and update us on how you are doing? i do understand you are busy but remember we miss you and would love to know how you are getting on.

It's me!!! I'm doing great. I'm now 21w4d. My lil guy is getting more active in there. I feel wonderful, just tired. I still lurk alot. I reply sometimes, but I'm still around. I hope all of you will be getting your BFP very soon. Sarah, you will get there. I just know it. I have you in my t&p all the time. I love you all girls! I wouldn't have been able to make it as long as I did (10 cycles) without this board.

I'm still around but I mostly post in PAL and my DDC. I am currently 35 weeks and 4 days and feeling ok. Just getting more tired as the days go by but other then that ok. I have my c-section on the 31st so trying to get the house clean before then.

I still think about all your girls and hope that you all get BFP's really soon. Lots of going out to all of you.

Sarah, I'm still here! I don't know if I"m an old timer though. TTC for about 10 months, my loss happened almost a year ago. Wow. Good luck to all of our pg ladies. We miss you!

I'm still here. I've been lurking mostly, since I've been getting headaches lately (although they've been much better lately) and I've been spending my computer time on the PAIL slideshow rather than posting.


Other than the headaches my pregnancy is going well. I'll be 20 weeks (half way!!!) next Monday. I can't believe I'm almost halfway already. I have my big ultrasound on Friday (yay!) so hopefully this baby will cooperate and we'll be able to see if he's really a he!


Sarah... Like Michelle you are in my prayers and never far from my thoughts, as are the other ladies here in TTCAL.

I'm definitely not an old timer, but I hope you don't mind if I peek in anyway?
I've been lurking here, but haven't posted much.. I wasn't actually able to log in for an entire week. Kept trying to reset my password and never got validation e-mails so admins had to help me get back in.

Started spotting this morning, and Im scared to death

Sarah- I SO hope you get your bfp soon, you really deserve to!

thank you girls for checking in i know there is more but it is so nice to get updates from you once in a while.
i know, im a soppy mare at times, but i miss you girls and although im as happy as a pig in muck that you got your bfps and are doing well, i miss seeing you around here too. i guess i should really start checking in on pal but i find it hard to do that (you know, cos of the fact im an emotional hormonal physco )
i cant believe you girls are so far on in your pregnancies now. where does the time go?
angie i cant believe you will be holding your baby in less than a month! congrats girl!

britt i hope those headaches clear soon, hormone headaches are a nightmare!

michelle.. lots of love to you as always sweety

erika of course i remember you hun and yes you are an old timer (in a nice way ) i am sending you lots of extra bfp dust hunny

julia.. i pray that your spotting is nothing to worry about hunny. sending lots of hugs and prayers your way with all the sticky dust i can spare!

xx

i know denise, i miss them too but i do know a lot of them have a peek every now and then so im hoping they will still have enough love for us to say hi and let us know how they are.
i was sitting thinking today just how much has changed since i joined here (10 months ago) and it amazed me but showed how at home i feel here. i find it very hard to post anywhere now because of pregnany announcments etc but here, i love seeing them because i know how hard it is to be on this side of the fence!
im sure we will all graduate soon and one day il be able to say congrats on the BIRTH of your babies

xx

Still lurking and post here rarely, want to be sensitive to the members here.

I'm at 32+4 weeks now!!! With a very active baby. Everything has been going great although I'm at the stage where it's difficult to get comfortable especially for sleeping. We are all prepared for her big arrival and really can't wait.

I joined here back in Sept 06 after my August loss and it took us 17 months of trying to get where we are today.

I have to say I miss the ladies here and I miss the ladies that have had their babies and moved on long ago.

I truly hope and pray that this board gets more and more bfps!

Sarah, you're such a sweetheart, thanks for thinking of us old timers. Miss you just as much.

Let's see, I joined JM in July of '06, and joined TTCAL a monthish later...so August of '06. I stopped posting for a while, at the end of my pregnancy with Erin until she was about 6 months old. I'm happy to say that everyone who was here when I initially joined has moved on. So there IS hope!

I was mostly a lurker, but we did start TTC in december 2007. We're not avoiding now, but definitely not trying. Still not sure if our relationship will work out, and we try to avoid fertile times or use pull and pray on the rare occasions things are going good and we DTD. We didn't avoid this month, but with 5 days before O, it's not very likely that I am pregnant, actually it's highly unlikely, and I am just waiting for AF....which will sadly be due on the day I lost Marina, nice huh?

I like seeing the older members, I remember everyone from my lurking days.

I am still here too. I just don't feel comfortable posting much. I do lurk like crazy though! You girls know you are all VERY welcome on the PAL board...right? BFP or not...feel free to come over and post with us, if the PG talk isn't too much for you. I know I had days where there was no way I could handle that while TTC but others I was fine with it. What a roller coaster

I had a 3d4d u/s done the other day..... here is my little man .....



















Entire hand in his mouth...LOL


Stretching with his mouth open


Still a boy

haha i knew you were lurking there somewhere!
as for those pics.....
i bet you cant wait to hold him bobbie!
i find pal too much most days im afraid and the days where i think i could maybe handle it, it dont bother because i dont want to suddenly come back to earth with a bump.
im so glad you are all doing so well though
