    Hi Ladies

    Thanks for your thoughts. I'm feeling better today. I tear up every now and then but it will all be ok.

    On another note I had the hospital give me an apology today. While i was in recovery after my D&C the nurse who was looking after me had a conversation with the other staff members about her 10 week pregnancy and her dramas with M/S cloths starting to get tight etc... I guess the conversation was for like 2-5 minutes but it felt like hours. I mean I was lying there after having my 10 week 4 day bub sucked out of me and i had to hear that. I mean gee a bit of diplomacy wouldn't have gone astray. She knew what I was there for. And then she popped her head in and asked if I was in pain as if nothing had happened. Needless to say I really had to struggle to keep it together. The curtains aren't exactly sound proof and I'm not deaf.

    So while i was sitting in the area they give you something to eat they have a customer satisfaction form for you to fill out. So I suggested that the staff be more sensitive to patients procedures and that seeing I had just had a D&C that I didn't need to hear about a staff members pregnancy.

    So apparently all the staff have been told not to have personal conversations whilst on duty and to leave it till their breaks. They appologised and said it was very tasteless and they were very sorry I had to hear it.

    Any way enough about that. I'm curious as to when I should get AF now. I think we'll wait until our 2 week appointment with FS to see what she recommends next.

    MASSIVE O…..M…….G……!!!!!! I seriously cannot believe some people. You poor thing Porsche. Yep I’m with Tammara, defiantly have a cry. Arrrrrhhhh reading that has just made me sooooo mad, most people just have no clue how hard it is to conceive. And LTTTC is just such a roller coaster. You have been so inspirational Porsche, I can’t believe how strong you are. That little miracle that is waiting just around the corner for you will be so lucky to have such a strong willed Mummy. You are doing so well hun!

    Hi girls,
    Porsche- I'm glad you wrote the feedback on that form. Otherwise it might happen all the time to other ladies in your position. Good on you! AS for TTC straight away, I did after both of my m/c's, mainly becasue I needed to throw myself into something positive. That being said, after I got AF after each m/c I fell to pieces, and I realised I really wasn't quite ready for the rollercoaster ride again. I think I knew I wasn't ready, and you will know if and when you are. If you need a break, take one, and if you don't think you do, then that's fine too. And we'll be behind you 100% what ever you decide (wont we girls?).

    Clamgee- I had the scans every 2 days up to ovulation for my first 6 cycles on clomid. It was helpful to get verification as to what was happening in there (if you get my drift!) and then I started recognising my own body signs more too. If they offer it, take it. It measn you don't have to wait the whole month to find out about ovulation.

    Julia- Any signs one way or the other yet?

    Keli & Mez- hope you're both well, and Kel I hope your m/s is letting up.

    AFM: 5 days until AF is due, I'm I'm sure she'll be here on time. BB's are no longer sore, still tired and a bit lethargic, but who isn't?! Time will tell, though. I've got a big weekend on, but I'd king of like to just curl up under my doona and hibernate!

    Talk soon,
    Stay well,
    Bec

    Porsche - So sorry you had to hear that insensitive nurse blab on & on. You have a very positive aura around you & I am in awe of you atm. I hope you recover well & GL when you decide to ttc again & of course whatever you decide, we are with you all the way

    Claudette - Sorry I can't help out re: the scans, I only had progesterone levels checked on CD21

    Bec - I hope you are wrong about AF being on her way. I am on another forum & a lady there got her BFP yesterday with NO symptoms - fingers crossed the same is for you

    Hello to Keli , Mez & anyone lurking

    AFM - Funny story..... I POAS yesterday & left it on the bench in my ensuite and my DD has taken the test but won't tell me what she did with it! I have been looking everywhere for this test but cannot find it so I POAS again this arvo but nothing. If I put the test to the light (lol) it looks like a line, but it is not coloured - more like an evap line, so I think it is just wishful thinking..... If no AF by Sunday, I will re-test. Apart from my bbies being sore & they feel heavy I have no other symptoms. Having said that, I get sore bbies when AF is on her way, so could be just that.... will know one way or another on the weekend (BTW I am on CD 25, so probably between 8-10 DPO)

    Just a quick note to Julia, the day before I tested positive I thought I saw exactly the same thing. I too thought that I was totally imagining it but it turns out the next day I was not! I'd test again if I were you! Oooo I would be so excited it you were! GL

    Porsche - I'm glad you are feeling a little better. I still cry sometimes & it's been over 12 months since my last m/c. Hugs x

    Still can't find that test! Thanks for the positive thoughts Keli - I really don't want to get my hopes up after being over 12 mths from my last m/c I think I will be in serious doubt if I am pg.
