Coco - hi.
Like many women on this thread, I perfectly understand the feelings you are going through. I have lost four pregnancies and never felt confident enough to announce my PG's to friends or family. I would go to playgroup and it felt like every month there was a new PG announcement. While I am incredibly blessed to have DD, I have felt like I have robbed her of a sibling. She is such a lovely little girl and the guilt in me has been overwhelming. I felt I was failing her. It has been my love for her which has made me never give up.
It has been very hard keeping a brave face. Some days have been so hard. I couldn't go anywhere without seeing PG women - Medicare, the supermarket, the beach. Early after my MC's I have been a little introverted, not wanting to go out, because it has been so emotionally painful to see larger families or PG women. And when I did the Miscarriage Investigation Program and tried IVF, I had to attend clinics and ultrasound rooms full of glowing PG women.
BUT...... then something occurred to me. I did not know THEIR story. For all I know, that PG woman standing next to me in the Post Office may have been through the rollercoaster of ten IVF's before successfully falling PG. Or that family playing in the park may have suffered recurrent MC just like me. Maybe that PG woman at hairdressers has been through the agony of losing a stillborn or a child.
Your feelings are perfectly normal. I know them too well. But I thought I would tell you about this, as it is what has kept me sane and kept my head above water. I hope this has been of some help xx
So sorry sweetie. I so hoped it was our month 
I think AF is on her way here as well, haven't had any symptoms but I am so crabby today and that is a sign she is on her way. Poor DH. We all know exactly where you are coming from. I too, am so sick of seeing prams and pg bellies EVERYWHERE I go. It's like they are following me! I am so over putting on a happy face as I certainly don't feel happy! Unfortunately we can all try to do the right things but it still seems to be so much easier for the couples who don't plan or really want it. 
we don't have to wait much longer.

CONGRATULATIONS FIFI 
so pleased to hear about the welcome arrival of your little man 
. I love the name, "Charlie" 
I often think about things like that too and than I come across the teenagers, people drinking or smoking while pg (I can't believe some people still do that!) and the women who tell you all about it who have obviously never been through a mc or ttc hell because if they had they wouldn't be talking to you like they are... Then there is my favourite.... The pregnant woman who stands right in front of you asking you when you are having kids!
. Thanks for always thinking of me. I have everything crossed that this is your month (seeing as now I can cross my legs 
vibes your way. It ain't over 'til she shows.
that spotting is implantation. And you are right too. There are always pg women who are ungrateful.
to everyone else.
i hope this is some how implantation spotting for you all.
its a lot of little tablets. So hopefully that will fix us both up in terms of yin. Generally we have to try to eat a little healthier - not that we eat too much naughty stuff, but I am not a fan of salad.. I really really don't like how it tastes. So yeah, we need to try to eat more of that. And I am trying to make sure I make steamed vegies with each and every meal. *sigh*
aim high i say :P
