Flowerchild, Angelbabies, KrystieLove and Jen - It was nice to hear your encouragement, but never fear, I have not given up by a long shot I am a very stubborn woman. I figure as long as I have AF (the witch that it is) I have a sporting chance at giving DD a much longed for sibling.

Jen - I think I got the Jonas method mixed up with the Lunar cycles Krystie (?) was talking about a couple of months back. But I did type my details into the calendar. Surprisingly, I o'ed about prior to the best time for conception this cycle. And the risk factor was a beautiful zero. But I have light cramping this AM and feel AF may be on its way. Bugger!

HannahD - I am so proud of you holding the newborn after your recent MC. I still go out of my way to avoid putting myself in that situation. On the one hand I feel selfish, but on the other hand I just don't want to do things that make me potentially miserable. It is wonderful you are moving forward with such positivity!

Mannie - Hip Hip Hooray for your BFP Stick li'l bubba!

Issy - nice to see you. Love your ticker

MegsMum - Happy sniffin', m'dear. I'll be just a few steps behind and right beside you along the way.

Babymiracles - good luck with your new IVF cycle.

Mel and Dellydoo - Sending you both lots of babydust during the 2WW

KrystieLove - I understand how new births are reminders despite time passing or even being PG. It keeps happening at my DD's playgroup. Seems everyone (who is in a releationship) has now had No.2. Some are even contemplating No.3. So happy you are now 11 weeks - nearly at that 1st Trimester milestone. Not far to go now, hon

Mummy of 3 boys - I am so sorry to read things have been so difficult.

AJC - that was a beautiful story about the bear. Your new bubba will love that bear and you can hold them both. Sending you some cheery - you must be absolutely blossoming now.

Ruthie - Hi there. Good luck with the new specialist.

Smi - Great news about your Marching Band

Melissa - I am sure I can speak on behalf of the wonderful ladies here and say: "sorry you have to be here, but we are here for you and we hope your stay is a very short one". I hope the birth goes well for your SIL but understand how difficult the idea of supporting her through it must be for you. Personally, I think it is a little inappropriate, even selfish, to ask you to be there. It has only been a few months. Glad the herbal concoctions are making you feel well and wish you the best in your TTC journey.

AFM - mild AF cramps this morning. Perfectly fine about it as we will be allowed to start our Orgulaltron (Orangutan, for you Krystie ) cycle immediately. Bring it on!
