Hannah--Honey, I'm so sorry to hear about d@mn AF and your vacation troubles! Sounds like you could use another vacation! I've had a couple cycles where I passed some large clots, and I know what you mean about the 'tenseness' that comes with the pain prior to passing it, then the feeling of being more relaxed once it's passed. I may have asked this before, but did you ever have an u/s to rule out that there may be any leftover tissue remaining? I still have to ask my dr. about it... I kinda ditched my appt. on my b-day However, I was nice enough to call and cancel, I didn't just completely ditch it. It's just that I was spotting already, plus it was my b-day, plus DS was with me! At almost 8, he's definitely a bit too old to be in the room with me while I have a pap! Anyhow, still have to call to reschedule, but I still plan on asking about the dye thing and the u/s to check on remaining tissue or blocked tubes. Are you going to start temping/charting with this new cycle?



charm--I'm praying that the results of the loss of your baby girl help to bring you peace and closure! Did you ever get an answer as to why your right ovary might be swollen?



Krystie--My fave chart stalker! For what it's worth, I think it's very appropriate for you to post here.... your avi brings back a flood of memories that always put a smile on my face! Luv ya lots my fellow FAB'er! *mwah*



Mel--It's ok and completely natural for you to have your down days, please don't apologize for it! You've been struggling with this for so long, and now you've put a lot of pressure on yourself, and on your body--it's a tremendous burden! It doesn't matter how long you were pg--your baby was instantly a part of you--and will still be forever in your heart! Please don't let the amount of time you were pg detract from the emotional angst of losing a child--a loss of life, especially that of a child, is soul-destroying! We're all here for you!



MO3B--Thinking of you, and hoping you're not feeling any better! lol....IYKWIM! Sending lots of vibes your way!



mrzbaby--While I'm sure it was tough, one day you'll be grateful that you bought that charm for your bracelet in memory of your little angel! Big *hugs*



Easha--Thanks for the b-day wishes! *hugs* Congrats on your mini u/s, and best of luck on your NT scan coming up next week!



Rhi--Your positivity is inspiring! I'm glad you feel good about AF and getting your body and cycle back on track! Best of luck!



boble--Are you only going by CM, or do you also temp/chart your cycles? Have you tried an OPK?



Sally--I'm so very sorry for the loss of your little angel! Unfortunately, those feelings of guilt, loneliness, and emptiness are all too common. Hannah said it perfectly, tho, in saying that a m/c is not a punishment from God for anything you did wrong/or didn't do right! We've all felt that way.... it's certainly the hardest thing I've ever had to go thru! Don't push yourself.... there's no time limit on grief.... you just have to take it one day at a time, and know that eventually it does get better! This forum and these girls.... this is my haven.... I don't know where I'd be without them! Remember that you're among friends that understand, and we'll be here to help you along the way! Big *hugs*
