I've been MIA for a few days but have popped in to spread some around the new thread.

Allyce & babymiracles- Welcome to TTCAML. Sorry for your loss You've found a great bunch of women for support.

Hi *waving" to easha, plc, mollycat, milla, ajc,megsmum, mel, tam, jonisteve, smi, mo3b, adele, wth, tutmae and anyone else I have missed.

AFM - I had a bit of meltdown this week. Its kind of ironic that I have a meltdown because my mother announces she's so unhappy she needs to move away. I was upset that I haven't been there for her but then I just felt so terrible that I was even less able to support her. But have finally snapped out of that cycle and am feeling much better today. It didn't help that DH's 2 best friends had babies born this last week. One is called Jacob which was top of my list of names for my boy(?) when he died. *sigh* Anyway, I'm think I'm feeling strong enough to see them this weekend.

I've also had a realisation this week. It is currently the chinese year of the rat. My father died 12 years ago during the last year of the rat. Both years started off really well with big holidays and a strong feeling of close family. Then a couple of months in everything turned to sh**. Also, jen, I googled jonas method to get the lunar cycle predictions and it turns out I have high risk scores for most of this year. Then next year (the year of the ox) I have 0 or 1's for the risk scores. Not sure exactly what that means, but maybe a break from TTC wasn't such a bad decision right now.

Anyway, sorry for the long post. Haven't been around much this week and there was so much to catch up on. Have a great weekend girls!
