    Oh my lordy girls-- sooo much info to compute!! V. difficult for me today as I'm a little hazy this morn!

    Naomi-- Sounds like you can pretty safely be assured that you are "duffed"! CONGRATS! I know it's hard not to be tentative after a previous bad experience but all you can do now is look after yourself-- the rest is out of your hands so try to ENJOY.

    Megan-- HHmmmm that is a head scratcher!!?? You must be hanging for tomorrow to arrive. I will stay tuned for the update. Do you have an ETA for the results?

    Kerry-- Don't ever think that you are "indulging" in self-pity. It's still fresh, you're just healing and I'm sure the scar is a constant reminder. Maybe think of it as a battle wound on your way to victory (cheesy I know).

    Sez-- It is absolutely understandable that you're apprehensive about this pg. I can certainly relate. All the fun and innocence is taken out of early pg. after you've experienced a loss-- I was a compulsive undie checker 2nd time around. It's hard too to come to terms with the fact that you're not incontrol of your body so all you can do is sit back and try to enjoy the ride. When is your first scan?

    Kelly-- Yay for you and your (soon to be) buxom bbs. It's nice to hear someone thinking of the upside during what can be such a stressful time for PAMLers!!

    Shan-- Don't you just love house hunting-NOT! It's closely trumped however in the list of "horrendous things to do" by actually MOVING into the aforementioned dwelling! I do believe I hate moving much more.

    TWWers-Paige & Belle & Michelle-- Well I suppose I've joined you now- though I am a little behind- think I've got a 9 day wait ahead of me?!? I hope that you have all not gone too mental in the lead up to testing. Easier to focus on the excitement/anticipation of it all. Can't wait to read about your BFP's!!

    Lisa-- Good on you for sticking with your TTC journey. That's how I felt after my recent loss as well. Waiting didn't help me last time so it was "back on the horse" (he,he,he) for me! I hope that after af disappears you can start to feel positive about the whole thing again. I have found that the good thing about not waiting is that you have less time to dwell and look back because you are focussing on the now and the future. I hope this is the case for you also.

    Jools-- welcome, welcome, welcome!! You'll love all the girlies in here. I'm pretty new on this thread myself and have found all ladies most friendly indeedy!

    As for me...I'm not holding out too much hope for this month. It is my first "proper" cycle after my m/c and d&c six weeks ago. My temps have been all over the shop-- I did get o pain earlier on and had a couple of +opks though. I really started temping to see if I was o'ing too late in my cycle and if that was possibly a reason for my m/c's. I haven't got FF fully sussed yet but I think I probably o'd on Day 18?? Is this too short a luteal phase if I normally have a 28-day cycle? I'll obviously have to keep an eye on my temps to see if I have really o'd. I'm having a progest. blood test this week so that should give me some more info. I've heard that low progest. levels can be a reason that a pg. can not be maintained. I'm kind of scared that if I do fall this cycle the same thing will happen before I can get into see my specialist (Nov. 6th).Oh well if I am fortunate enough to fall this cycle I'll just have to ring the ob.gyn's office and cry until he'll see me!!! Not positive that we "caught" o either as we've had lots of family gatherings, social commitments, etc. Might have to get another one in today just in case
    You've got to love a public holiday!!!
    I'm off later in the week for a little hol so don't know if i'll be able to check in-- aargh. Just realised this will be the first time since I discovered BB that I won't be looking at it everyday!
    Rabbiting now will bbl today to check in.
