    HannahD.... Hannah I think that is a FANTASTIC idea...... I would do it myself but I have already told everyone..... lol..... I get a bit like that incase you lovely ladies have not figured it out... occasionally require a leg up so i can get on my high horse..... but this one I am determined to educate people.... sort of like its why my little angels were in the first place..... You are MORE than welcome to use anything I have on my web site below..... copy paste... do whatever.... I think its a FANTASATIC idea.... huge hugs hun... huge hugs..... education is the only way this will get any easier for anyone who has to wear these shoes....

    Krystie......Ohhhh damn.... that "orangutan cycle"..... ohhh crack me up.... having image of a bunch of bloody monkeys making monkey noises organising an IVF cycle.... hey heres a thought... they might actually act more humane than most FS....


    Tomorrow is candle candle candle day for me..... have to get DH to bring home my pin from work... its sitting on my desk waiting for tomorrow.... didnt know I would be taking time off work.....

    As for little chyan... flippin the bird... hmmm wondering if maybe she saw Aunty Angel.... I m sure I did it discreetly......

    Where There s Hope...... ANYTIME hun.... ANYTIME

    Larz...... I completely understand.... we build relationships in here that are so strong they are to hard to leave.... so come and go as you wish.... door is open... one day who knows.. we may lock the door on this thread because its now longer needed... but until then.. the door is open.... As for Ruthie..... I would probably think that she is taking time at the moment to get through the fog..... probably reading and keeping up with whats happening but maybe not able to post yet.... Huge Hugs to you Ruthie.... we are here for you when your fog lifts a bit more

    larz - Glad you are feeling more relaxed, take care of yourself hey?

    Angel - Thanks for the reminder about tomorrow. I'm a bit bummed that I won't get my pin in time, but I think I'll wear it when I get it anyway. And there's always next year, so close to the anniversary of my m/c I'll never forget it

    Krystie - Glad to see you are back in the land of the living

    Hannah - I think that it an excellent idea! I don't think you are being a coward at all - if more people knew about m/c and it's effect on us, then at least we might get a bit better support after one. I actually told a friend that I hadn't seen for a while on the weekend, I was a bit unsure about telling her but she was wonderful. She said all the things that you need to hear - that it is a real loss of a real baby, and that it needs to be acknowledged by other people and not ignored. It is so good when someone understands how you feel.

    WTH - Massive again. You are more than welcome hun, anytime you need to talk. I only wish that I could have changed the outcome for you Take care.

    Jen - Hi there cycle buddy

    dellydoo - Sorry to hear that you can't start Synarel yet Delays are just so frustrating! I hope you FS can help you out, and enjoy those tahini balls! Yum...

    jonisteve - Hi and welcome I'm so sorry for your loss and hope your stay here is short.

    Hi there everyone else!

    AFM, nothing much happening here today. Had my first injection for LP support today and getting heaps of cramps from it. Oh well....

    Jen - Enjoy your sleep honey! Thanks for the hugs.
    Hannah - Darling I think that is a wonderful idea. You are so brave. I have told most but still run into acquaintances and have to tell them. Be strong - you will get such a rush of sympathy and love.
    WTH - So sorry darling - my first cycle was almost cancelled and we ended up having to do FETs that did not work. I hope you get some answers from your FS.
    Kyrstie - ORANGUTAN CYCLE????
    plc - thanks honey - it feels nice to think someone is playing the cello just for me!
    Megsmum - to you to ease cramps!

    AFM - I just had a lovely lunch in Sydney with an old mate and I had a few glasses of wine. Sigh!

    Journeying through miscarriage & loss is a very difficult path. As such please think twice and only press post when you are certain that your post will not cause hurt or upset.

    Sometimes it's easy to get caught up in our own feelings and our own situations - try and step outside and look at your post from others perspectives.

    If a post has caused you to feel hurt or upset - please do not retaliate. Contact myself or Mistyfying or the administrator for this forum Niliac. Retaliation does not resolve a situation and only makes it more uncomfortable.

    Most often people do not mean to hurt or offend - and any such difficulties need to be dealt with off the forums - this treats everyone with respect and does not cause discomfort to others.

    Inflaming or insulting behaviour on the forums will be infracted as per our guidelines. You can view our forum guidelines HERE.

    If any member has any queries or concerns they need to be directed to a moderator. This is the only way change or intervention can occur. When you contact a moderator your issue will be discussed in a team environment - and your concerns will be treated respectfully and confidentially.

    Hannah....... I keep thinking about your idea.... I really do LOVE it..... The more I think about it the more I think we should all do something like that....

    My reason behind it is that it also makes it easier for the person you are telling...... when we tell in person there is it can be difficult for the person we are telling........ yeah i know... the "difficult for them.... they arent the ones who lost their angels"..... i know.... BUT i always believe that the best way is to always put yourself in the other persons shoes for a second so you can try and work out the best way of doing it.

    An email is a way of putting something together... giving you time to compose exactly what you want to get accross to them..... then when they receive it... it gives them time to take it all in and then time to deal with it and time to compose a response back to you......

    I love it Hannah.... I love it..... it educates openly..... in other words people who read it are not defensive or closed through to being uncomfortable.... they are "open" to what they are reading..... Love it

    Angel - you are so right, I think it also means you can spell out how need to be treated right now. It will have a lot more impact as it is coming from someone they care about.
    It is hard on other people because it is so sad and it is happening to someone they know and care for.
    I am going to send an email out to my friends tomorrow and let them know it is Remembrance day.

    Hi All,

    Just wanted to thank you all for your well wishes, NO AF spells and hugs - you are the only people who truely understand. DH is trying to be supportive by saying we always have next month but he just infuriates me more - poor darl

    We have decided to try a chinese herbalist as we are supposed to wait another month before seeing the gyno again. I cant go through another 4 whole weeks just doing nothing. Anyone had any luck with chinese herbs??

    Anyhow going to eat chocolate and sulk a bit longer on the couch and then I have to pick myself up, dust myself off and get back to normal tomorrow

    Thanks again

    EashaGood luck with the TCM hope it does the trick. And your right about the couch, chocolate and sulking. I feel that you are writing my posts for me. I read them and think to myself someone is going through exactly how I am feeling. In a way its comforting

    Hannah I think the email is a great idea. I hope that it goes well and that people are kind and considerate with what you are going through. I also like the fact that it will most probably stop the dreaded question, "So when are you going to have kids?" I get that question all the time and if the email you send at least stops that question then I think it's worth it.

    WTH Ohh I ma so sorry sweetheart that your cycle was canceled. On a good note if there can be at least you know you do still have a chance there are little eggs up there. I hope that and you get a sticky healthy little jelly bean and in 9 months your miracle

    Angel You make me your such a nice lady. FS put me on 25mg and I know I shouldn't have put i just took the 50mg. All the research I done everyone starts on 50mg. Even on the tablet information thing you get with the tablets state that 50mg is the usual dosage and not to take more then that unless directed to by your doctor. So only time will tell I guess. My FS is just over cautious I think. Thank you for you personal experience though it's much appreciated. I will let you know how it goes.


    Jensuhka Sending you lots of sticky vibes hun. I hope your next BT has those levels heading for the sky.

    Larz That's great news about your u/s so glad to hear that everything is going swell.

    Joniesteve Sorry that you have had to join this forum but you will find comfort in the hearts of us all hear. I am so sorry for you loss but I know that there is nothing that I can say that will make you feel any better. I hope that your stay is here is short and that you are blessed with a healthy baby soon.

    Mollycat I do apologise for the confusion I was trying to get to everyone. I will give it another go. Cycle day 5? am I right? AF should be almost out the door and getting ready to tie those shoes on.

    Mummy of three boys Dont be hard on yourself. I have those days. I actually had one yesterday. I am glad DH wasn't home because I think he would have taken me to the Phsyic hospital. I just sat in front of the computer and cried and cried. I blame it on AF showing up just added to the pain. I hope that today was a better day for you. I find that if I keep busy it helps

    delly I hope that the FS has some good news for you and that maybe you can still start the syneral this month if that's possible. Sorry I don't know much about it.

    plc Thanks for checking up on me last night that was very sweet. I am doing better tonight. I hope all is well with you

    Jen I have started BBT today 2nd day of my cycle so we will see how it goes. Counting down the days of your TWW with you.

    To everyone else that I have missed I am sorry I did try to include everyone.

    AFM I had my 1st tablet of clomid so that it does it's thing and I ovulate on time and get my BFP.
