    I second that Dory, look after yourself Sunbeam! (Loving the avvy by the way)

    I have a question, I'm on DPO 11, still having symptoms, the same one's I had when I got my first BFP, so SURELY if I was preg it would show up on a test (tested yesterday and got BFN), considering symptoms are strong? There's gotta be a direct relationship between HCG and symptom strength right? Vaguely planning on testing again on Thursday...

    I enjoy the first two weeks of the TTC month soooo much more than the last two.

    Kit - this TCC can be so illogical. I tested like crazy and got BFN's up until 14DPO, even though O was earlier than day 14. It was only after 14DPO that a got a faint BFP. Keep your head up and if you can wait at least a day or two before testing again. Glad you have some symptoms and I have my FINGERS and legs crossed for you! Now I can't wait til you post again....... oh I am really just so excited, I can't contain myself.

    hi girls. sorry it's been a while since i checked in.

    i went back to the doc asking if i needed the anti d injection and he said yes but that i needed to go to the hospital to get it. so off to the hospital i went and they had to check me over first and an ultrasound found i have bleeding in my stomach which wasn't supposed to be there! they said it's just from a cyst that erupted cause of pregnancy and that i'll be ok. but was a bit scary!

    i have stopping bleeding completely now but still feeling tender in the tummy a bit. question - my partner and i are going to start trying again straight away. i dont know if AF will arrive soon or whether the bleeding from the m/c is classified as AF. do i take my LMP from the first day of my m/c bleeding on the off chance i do conceive this month? sorry for the silly questions, i'm new to all this and have never taken notice of when i O so not sure what to expect this month.

    thanks!

    TFN3- Sorry to hear you had a scary time with bleeding. After my natural m/c it was 5 weeks till my AF returned. I don't think you can go from when you bleed but from when your Hcg returns to zero depending on how far along you were. You will likely O before your next AF and it is possible to conceive then but it is tricky to time it after a m/c using O predictor tests can help though you might go through a few.

    KitFaerie- I had very strong symptoms last time and my hcg was really quite low (only 19 to start with) hope you're headed for a BFP in a few days.

    thanks for that sunbeam. my hcg levels had dropped to 20 on friday so should be pretty much at 0 now. guess i'll just see how the month goes. we BP most days so wont worry about O kit yet, just see if nature takes it course. when we were trying in january i spend so much time worrying about if I was Oing, this time I think i'll try not to worry bout that and take each day as it comes. thanks for your advice!

    Kitfaerie-i wish i could help but to be honest my symptoms leading up to my AF confuse me sometimes i think i am pregnant with cramping and pulling sensations in my lower area and reallllllllly sore boobs and being very tired but AF turns up and then when i am pregnant i have had no symptom nadda nothing and even swear im not so my body is a mystery to me i wish i got M/S then i would know for sure but i will say don't read to much into the BFN just yet with my 5 pregnancies before abbi i got a BFP at 10DPO and with abbi BFN's up until the day AF was due so you still have a few days i will have my fingers crossed for you.

    Trying4number3-i think it is usual to class m/c bleeding as LMP as it is possible to ov 2 weeks after a m/c as many women fall pregnant straight away and don't get AF so the doc's will take LMP from your M/C date.

    Sunbeam-take it easy on yourself at work.

    Crafty-how are you today i hope you are feeling better.

    Murrycod-i rang the westmead fertility clinic today to get there info pack and prices just in case we don't fall pregnant by May they are a public ivf clinic and the cost is half that of SIVF they don't do PGD IVF but we have decided to speed up the process of getting pregnant and will see them if i am not pregnant soon i dont want to do ivf again but with our genetic testing dramas i am starting to hear that stupid clock tick again.

    AFM-still have a slight headache and feeling funny inside down low and feeling really tired maybe because i have been working late nights.
    Here is i paragraph i found on a pregnancy site
    Our data on September 4, 2008 shows that headaches are most common on 9 days past ovulation with 15.5% of pregnant women experiencing this symptom. Our data also shows that headaches is one of the top ten most common early signs of pregnancy
