erybery - That is such great news! I hope by the next scan all the fluid is gone and your little girl is growing happy and healthy. I'm so happy for you and your DH

sally - Wow, that is some statement from your acupunturist. Let me know if it works and I am happy to fly to WA! I know what you mean about giving yourself time and not wanting to mess with 'nature' so to speak. You do what feels right for you I am a bit hesitant about IVF (hopefully we don't need it) but I feel like it is our last resort and if it doesn't work then what? So I completely understand your reservations

charm - Hope the dream is a good sign and turns into reality soon! Good luck with testing Dealing with the insensitive comments can be so hard so if you need to hide away to deal with it then do what you need to do. I have done my fair share of hiding over the last 20 months and I don't let myself feel guilty aobut doing it anymore.

Boble - Whether you are ttc for 2 months or 12 months it all feels like an eternity so don't feel bad about venting. Sure, some people have been trying for longer but it doesn't mean your journey has been any easier or less heartbreaking. Every month ttc feels like an forever and the only reason we all keep going is we know the result at the end will be soooo worth it. I hope you feel better soon and your DS hand is ok

sunny & shortcake - Car shopping went well, thanks for asking. We have found a really nice liberty wagon (family car) that we both like. DH said it is up to me as I will be the one driving it the most but I am a little hesitant as I feel like we are tempting fate once again and jinxing ourselves by getting too far ahead (iykwim?). We built a family hme 4 years ago and so far it is still just the 2 of us....Anyway, we are not going to rush our decision, will let you know what we decide!

sunny - Another one for you - I that line gets darker day by day!

cherished - I know exactly what you mean. I was best friends with a girl for 17 years and we no longer speak. We went through everything together and were always going to be in each others weddings and we didn't even end up going to them as guests. He parents split up and nothing was ever really the same after that, she didn't want anything to do with her old friends and got new ones. I have a great support system of friends but it didn't make it hurt any less and I have really missed her being there through this journey. So I know exactly how you feel and how hard it is to make peace with it, I still struggle at times hug:

Bedtime, better go!
