JOeve - so so sorry this isn't the month. Sucks at any time but somehow more at the end of the year

HB - HUgs to you too. AF is such a cow! I hear you on the birthday thing too. I was totally depressed at gaining an extra yr this year but as everyone will tell you - success still happens ALL the time in older women. Just may take us a bit more time and heartache.

N2L - Go that natural miracle!

Marushke - Hope those lines are getting darker and your BT shows good solid levels

AFM - I am officially confused. Definitely thought I was out - really bad cramping ( which isn't always an indicator one way or another), some spotting and I admit I did test at 11dpo and got BFN. I have tested many times at this stage in the past and never got a false result either way. Anyway, we are going away tomorrow for the weekend, so I thought I'd better just test again last night so I could be sure whether to take my whole pharmacy of meds or just a pack of hygeine products. Much to my suprise, I got a reasonable BFP. Not as strong as I'd probably like to see at this stage but defnite. I don't quite get how it could change so much in just 1 day and am still VERY anxious that the levels may not be great and possibly another chemical. MY BT is not until MOnday so guess I just have to wait and see. Happy I am still in with a chance but still it just doesn't seem quite right.
Also wondering if the crinone may be causing some irritation as the blood I've seen is only mixed in with the crinone "leftovers" (sorry TMI) - not just blood on its own. Anyone else had this?
