    claireabel your BT results sound great, sending lots of sticky vibes your way, although I am sure all will be fine.
    sandielreese sorry to hear about you loss, I love the ladies in here and don't know where I would be without them, I hope your stay in here is a short one, and i mean that in the nicest possible way.
    Zennie sorry to hear about your loss, and your "bungled" D&C. I think it was very cruel of your workplace to treat you the way they did especially to the point where you felt you had to leave. I basically took 1 day at a time, and shed plenty of tears, but also got heaps of hugs from some VERY good friends. I hope that you can start to heal soon. :hugs:
    kiwigirl me, me, me I have tested that early many times and only got bfn's so don't feel bad, I am now 9 dpo and haven't tested once, but that is probably because I really don't think that I will have been lucky enough to catch the egg.
    satya sorry to hear that AF has arrived, but good luck with your appt on Wednesday.
    TTBP I hope that you did manage to catch that egg after all. As for the vitex, I have started taking it again this cycle, but only since O, and I was actually taking it when I fell pg in Nov. I take the liquid form but only because I hate tablets/capsules and I just think it would get absorbed into my system quicker, it tastes disgusting though.
    Salt how are you going hun?

    As said above, I really don't feel like we have caught the egg this month so I am just not obsessing as much. Also the neighbour I was talking about the other week who told me she was pg and had only been trying for a short time lost the baby on Friday, I feel really bad because when she told me I "pretended" to be happy for her and had some very "bad" thoughts and that is just not like me at all.

    Sandie - I'm sorry to hear about your loss. This is a difficult time, but I do hope that TTC is positive for you.
    Zennie - I'm sorry for your loss. What an incredibly long & painful journey you've had! I can't believe you still had the intact sac in your cervix after your D&C! I don't know what the Ob was doing? I can't imagine what it must feel to spend 8 weeks going through a M/c and trying to keep a job down. It seems like a good idea to take some time off work and just try to work through the pain. If it helps, I felt like I wasn't functioning after my D&C either. I wondered whether my life would ever get on track, was anything worth the effort and would I ever be able to cope? I did cope, and most of us have. For me, I cried continuously, sometimes without any thoughts in my head, I cried at home, I cried at work, I cried at weddings, I cried in toilets at pubs and I cried at night. Then I found BB, and found that I wasn't the only one going through this pain, my life wasn't falling apart, it was just temporarily difficult. And for me, it did get easier after about 3-4 weeks. TTC in the 2nd cycle distracted me and I think that helped too. I hope it gets easier for you. Feel free to put down all your thoughts on BB and you might find it helpful.
    Shoegal - Waiting that first cycle is frustrating isn't it? Hope it passes in a flash for you.
    Rachael - Isn't that too early to get a reliable result? Are you going to test again later? that you get a better result then.
    Positive - Great timing! Good luck when you test.
    Sharon - This is going to sound weird, but I feel guilty about your neighbour too. I was annoyed with my friend's gf for ttc or being pg and not telling me at the time that you first posted about your neighbour. I would never wish a loss on anyone, but I wasn't exactly thinking kind thoughts at the time, so I feel a bit guilty about your neighbour too. I hope she is doing ok.
    Claire - Great BT results! I'm very happy for you. You seem to write down my thoughts exactly. I'm too scared to get too excited about this pg, but then feel guilty, as though I'm not loving this baby as much as the last. DH is the same. He doesn't want to tell anyone cos he doesn't feel ready to get excited & probably won't be until we pass the hurdle of the first scan. And he'll feel like a bad father-to-be if he is less excited about it than our friends.

    So I promised DH that I wouldn't tell anyone until our first scan. But then I had lunch with a friend on Sat, and it was so hard to not tell her what was going on, especially as she asked me directly when my cycle ended & when I was going to test. I'm so bad at lying that I think she knows I'm pg, and she knows I can't tell her yet, but she doesn't know why. I don't know if I'm explaining my thoughts very well.

    I'll go to a medical centre on Friday, and I'll probably have to wait until 10wks for the first scan. Not sure how the NHS works. In the meanwhile, to keep ourselves busy and away from friends, we booked a train to Paris for next weekend. And I'm worried that my BBs aren't sore at all. Only symptom is needing to pee. Clairabel, have you had any symptoms?

    Sorry for hanging about in here for a while. I'm trying to build the courage to head to the PAML thread. Just doesn't feel real yet and am afraid to jinx myself.
