A big welcome to Claudia and Lalla, so sorry you have to join us here but you are most welcome - the support here is incredible, it has certain stopped me from going crazy this last few weeks.
Jenjams - sorry to hear you are feeling down with the whole temp thing, (you know I hate it and just couldn't understand it!!) - I can say though, that the time I did try using it, I was dipping and peaking all over the place for both months and still got pregnant when it said I shouldn't have so never say never until evil AF shows her ugly red face!
Satya - just awful news for your colleagues, just the worst. I have read the stories of Cooper, Nicholas, Lucia, Jordan and others (I am SO sorry for not remembering the names of these angels mummies) and the tears just flow and flow. Their mum's are the most brave, brave women - and they are still able to come here and support others. Perhaps you could ask them for advice as how to help your colleagues, or offer the forum address?? Theyll never get over it but they do need to get through it.
BekZ/Sharon - hoping you are on the receiving end of good news, we are all praying for you with all our hearts.
Bun - hope you are having a good day, I too have been peaking and dipping over the easter break. One day I was quite 'up' and positive and the next I couldn't be bothered to get off the sofa, wash my hair, do anything really and felt totally s**t.
I hope this next bit doesn't scare anyone but i wanted to share it in case there is anything in it, it's advice I was given in the UK from both my Ob and my GP. I suffered from UTI/cystitis for the first time ever last July (I was 10 weeks pregnant) and it was so bad I ended up in A&E, and it subsequently went into my kidneys (pyelonephritis -sp??) - it took 3 lots of consecutive antibiotics to get rid of it.
I then went into premature labour at 16 weeks, poor little bub dated at just over 12w. The Ob said he couldn't rule out the UTI/kidney infection as it is known to cause premature labour. My GP said practically the same thing and added two bits of advice - (i) ALWAYS wee after sex and (ii) take cranberry, either in juice or capsule form. I don't think this is relevant during BDing but def. later in pregnancy. I had no idea of the consequences at all and I'm an old hand at pregnancy, it was still news to me.
To finish on a lighter note:
JaneO - when are you going to change your signature to read 'DF' instead of 'DP'!!!!!!!
