Jodsan - Thanks for the congrats about my degree. I've sort of stayed in the sciency field but am not actually using my degree at the moment (I know, silly huh?!). I'm a surgical vet nurse. Oh, except during the tww when I don't do surgery or xrays anymore "just in case" During the tww I'm pretty much reduced to admin and consults... I'm fine with that though because I'll do anything to help my "maybe baby"
I really loved my degree though. I loved all the biology and zoology subjects I did. And ecology, evolution, microbiology... ok I loved it all, lol!!
Is there any chance you could start a study group with some of the people at your uni to make some friends? Maybe DH could look after you DS for an extra hour or two while you study. I had a great group of friends at uni and a couple of them were older. Oh, and 34 is sooooooo not old :P
And finally, I'm sorry to hear about your hcg only being 2. I hope you don't have to go to a FS to have another baby, but if you think that it is needed, then don't hesitate to get a referral to one. There is no shame in asking for a little help to create a miracle!!

Tina - I read your story about bursting into tears when someone asked you "how are you?" and I have done that too. One of my bosses asked me if I was ok the other day and my eyes welled up and my face went red. I just turned around so he couldn't see and said "yup, all good" and walked off. I don't know why I tried to hide it though, I guess I was just embarrassed. I hope you are feeling better now.

Jen - Yup, AF was kicked out the door so hard I hope she's scared to ever come back!!
My adivse for the day: "Never ever forget the copy and paste shortcuts" LOL! It's a bit anal of me, but I always select everything I wrote in a post and copy it before I hit the button to post it just in case I lose it. That way if the forum has a spaz I can just paste it again
Now... what is your naughty temp doing? I had another look and expected to see a nice 3 day rise of temps, but nooooooo. At least your CM and ovulation pain are giving you the right signs. Bring on your little girl!!!

Mollycat - Sorry to see that you are back on CD1 And I'm sorry you have the hard decision of what to do about your tamoxifen dose. What ever you decide, bring on ovulation so you can make your little bundle!!

Katiegirl - We haven't really met, but I wanted to congratulate you on your pregnancy and send you lots of hugs. Are you in a belly buddy group? I bet all the other girls in there are a bit jealous that you get to see your bubs weekly I hope you feel much more confident in a weeks time!

pbstar - 18 DPO? Any news yet? I hope it's a bfp and not just a long cycle. Thinking of you!

Vanaithi - Yay for late ovulation! I'm so glad you are still in the game this cycle! Have fun in tassie.

Toccara - How strange is it to be happy about AF coming? Lol. But I'm glad that you have been giving your fresh start and I'm sure you'll have you bfp in no time!

Jenushka - Yeah, I'm going to wait until the end of my current cycle and if I think there's a chance I'm UTD then I'll get the BT done and cross my fingers. Your gp sounds great! My gp is pretty good, but I just can't seem to find a gp that I'm as comfortable with as I was with my childhood gp.
Try not to worry too much and enjoy your pregnancy!

Smilanatu - Yay for AF not showing yet! I can't wait to hear your news on Monday!

You know you're addicted to BB when:

6. You feel like you are wasting urine when you don't pee on a stick

7. You see abreviations in everyday life and try to work out what they mean in the TTC world (eg. DVD must stand for something like "doing vjayjay dance"...)


Me - CD6. I hate the first two weeks before O. Well, except the "ff period" ("fun fertile period")
I did some major cleaning today. You know how sometimes as much as you clean your bathroom, you just get the feeling it's not quite clean enough? Well I felt that today, so I got out the scrubbing brush, cloths, cleaning toothbrush and disinfectants and did a total overhaul. Pulled the toilet apart and scrubbed it. And even washed the walls. It looks pretty clean now!
