Hi ladies,

Thought it was time for a quick drop by, it's been a while since I visited.

MrsK - I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. You just have to take each day just one day at a time. Some days will be good, others will be bad and that can go on for a while. I've had two m/c a decade apart and have no children of my own, but am very fortunate to have a lovely stepdaughter. I'm 41. I too am about to head towards IVF as the gyno told me that you can't leave things to chance at my age and it will give any future pregnancy the best chance of surviving. I don't know what I'd have done without BB to get me through the last few months. It's not something you want to talk about in the real world but somehow talking about it in here does help you. I've typed many a post and cried while doing it but that rarely happens now. Nothing you or your partner did contributed to it.... it's just one of those things.

Hi to everyone else.

I'm in my TWW again and for once I'm not obsessed about it. Yaaaaay!!!! I'm pretty sure that we missed DTD close enough to O as it looks like I O'd on CD16 instead of CD13or CD14 like usual. With the pressure off this cycle I can have what I would normally call "symptoms" and not think anything of it. I've been feeling yuck all arvo & almost threw up at work today & for once I haven't attributed this to an upcoming BFP.... it would be way too early for that anyway but it hasn't stopped me from imagining it in previous cycles. Instead I think its stress from family dramas and too much work to do.

I've had my paperwork from the hospital network and I should get my lap done within 90 days which is great.... looks like on average its about 90-120 days for the hospital that I'm likely to end up in.... so a few more chances of conception up my sleeve before things start getting official.
