Hi girls,

Jane - glad to still see you around, even if only every now and then. Can't wait to see your ring!

Satya - when is your u/s scheduled for? They usually do an internal, so prob not best to get one done during AF. Sorry about the BFN, but you never know, sometimes these things surprise us.

Tonners - WTG on the faint BFP. I hope it turns into a nice dark one in a couple of days. I am pretty bad at waiting to test, esp when I have been having pg symptoms, and I think why wait? I am going to try and be strong next time (remind me of that in a couple of weeks when I am feeling weak!)

SP - it does feel weird to be writing about how small the chances are of getting pg, but in a good way! At least it's not long now til your appointment and hopefully your OB will sort out this clot. I am lucky in that I think my boss would be pretty good if I told him what has been happening - he was great when I took time off for the first m/c, but he doesn't know about the second as he was on leave and I just worked through it. I will tell him as soon as I feel it is getting a bit much and the time off is too obvious. I also worry that he and other colleagues must have noticed that I am different lately and often my door is shut and my eyes puffy. Who knows - they are nearly all men, so probably haven't noticed anyway! I'm glad that the counselling is still helping you - I am finding it so very helpful.

Claudia - I am glad your 6 wk checkup went well and you are clear to TTC. I would definitely recommend counselling, it is good to be able to talk with someone about things, esp when a lot of people don't know what has happened. It is so hard with family and babies and no one understanding. I'm not sure if it is better to tell family or not - if you don't tell them, they don't understand, but in my experience, if you tell them they still don't understand and in a way you feel even worse! I guess the only good thing about telling them is that it stops the 'so when are you going to start a family' questions.

Hi to everyone else.

Well, the clinic told me to get my next BT done tomorrow, but going by previous cycles, I think I am going to O today or tomorrow, so getting a BT tomorrow would be too late, as the idea is to get me in for a scan BEFORE I O, and it takes a day to get the results back, and then they schedule a scan for the following day, so that def would be too late. Now I am worried that maybe I am wrong and they will tell me off for not going when they said. Oh well, it's done now, and so far I have been right about everything and they just haven't listened to me. Only two days til my appointment when I will be asking what his plan is now and whether he will actually do anything, as clearly there is something going on. I am still flitting between feeling v positive and thinking that it may just take time and I can wait, and then two secs later I am about to start crying thinking that it will never work out. On the whole I am not too bad atm, but I would be lying if I said that I am feeling great.
