    kbudgie, my d&c cycle was 35 days. I know the hcg was gone (or at least low enough to get a BFN on the HPT) in less than 2 weeks and I tracked my cycle (OPK & BBT) to detect O. Try to be a bit kinder to yourself. At one month post-d&c I was barely finding my way out of the deep depression I had fallen into and I struggled for months. It wasn't until the EDD passed that I really started to move on properly. Not everyone would need that long, but there's no shame in needing more time. We all handle the grief differently. I know it has been a long wait, but this cycle will end and you will move on to the next. FX the next one brings you more happiness.

    kbudgie, some days are definitely tougher. Sorry to hear AF is being nasty. I hope the pain passes quickly.

    Rai, I asked a doctor once coz someone at work had shingles. She said it's only contagious if you have not had chicken pox and rub the sores. If you've had chicken pox apparently you can't catch shingles, you can develop them but that could happen any time, nOt from contact. However she said, try not to touch someone else's sores. Well duh! If unsure, call the nurses line for reassurance.

    I had chicken pox when I was three and got shingles when I was six...very rare for a kid to get it apparently but much better than getting it as an adult...don't take any chances!

    Just started all our PGD testing again as our clinic now uses a new clinic for their feasibility testing...hoping it doesn't take too long to get it sorted...fx

    hoping everyone is travelling well xx

    Mel - thats awesome news ... the old fashioned way is so much better and cheaper lol

    furbabies - any news, hoping they are all blastys

    me4ever - good luck!

    rai - I think we are all in the weightloss section.. I know i need to drop about 15kg to feel "better" about myself 4 of those kg crept on when I started last november and fell pregnant. My addiction to baking doesn't help, but it seems to be my therapy at the moment.

    AFM - CD 31.... come ON AF! I usually run like clock work but the d&c and boobie leakage has stuffed me around. Hubby found $400 extra in one of our accounts so we can pay off some of our money owing to our FS this week. Finally and what a PAIN that was. After having a fentons done during egg collection a few months ago then being told we cant DTD for 6 weeks, then falling pregnant, followed by me not wanting hubby to come near me, then the d&c.. we still really should have waited another 2 weeks.... but no matter I still think I would have been in glorious amount of uncomfy pain as what seems to be the area that was sutured sort of split open. Not sure if its entirely normal, but I guess not - booked back in to see the FS, its never ending, I swear they must think I am a hypochondriac.
