    Ruthie - I know you may not think so, but I can't believe how strong you are. I think you are doing incredibly well and a miracle comes your way very soon, you deserve it

    Jen - Thanks Jen

    me - appointment was ok, all the doc could do was feel my belly and weigh me. All good so far but guess you never feel safe untill the 12 week scan. I haven't really let myself get too excited because I know what dissapointment feels like, guess all I can do is hang in there and just wait out the next 3 weeks.

    Babyfever: Oh YAH!! People can say the stupidest things and that males me furious ( even if I'm so good at hiding it) When I was TTC ( which will be soon again) when I got a BFN I HATED when some dais.. oh you can try next time.. I am like SHUT UP!! I've been saying that to myself for 3 years!!! Ya know??.. people
    Even my parents said something so stupid to me yesterday I just changed the subject... They said "oh you know how many women miscarry every day??..its "natural".." I'm like Mom please STFU!!!! ( of course I didn't say that) just because "many m/c on a daily basis) it doesn't mean it won't hurt! Parents can say the stupidest things too.

    I am praying you get GREAT news! 1You sure know I will do the happy dance for you!!!

    Larz: thank you so much momma.... Good luck on your next apptmnt.. hope they do an u/s ASAP.... Demand it.. I did.. they were not going to do one till I was 12 weeks imagine that?.. I would have been 3 weeks with a dead baby inside!! Demand it if you have to.. I did and unfortunately you know what happened but in a way it would have been worse ya know?.. I could have gotten serious infection from the dead baby.
    You and your baby are going to be just fine!! Yo will see your lil swimmer doing somersaults inside you and his/her heartbeat will be PERFECT!!! Wishing you a H&H pregnancy and healthy baby!!!!!

    Ruthie - thanks for the kind words. I booked my nuchal scan for the 7/10/08 which is 12 weeks. Don't think you can do a nuchal any earlier, but if I need to I will in insists on going for an earlier scan to make sure everything is still ok. Don't want to get myself all worked up and stressed out but it's hard not to as you know. I also had some questionable comments from my husbands mate when I had my ectopic, people like that will never know what your going through untill it happens to them. I know it's hard and a pain in the a_ _ but we just have to ignore people like that and get on with TTC

    Mannie - Don't want to dishearten you, but I found MAYBE BABY a big waste of $80....never worked for me and obviously I did ovulate, I found the urine test strips to work the best.

    First of all, everyone. I'm still trying to catch up with your stories.

    Jen - Thanks so much for the chat last night. We had some pretty wild weather yesterday and combined with a full moon its no wonder I felt a little nutty. Today the weather is better and I feel calmer too.

    Fificlaire - If you really want a scan, demand it! When I saw my GP the other day, I asked about what could be done next time round. She told me the earliest they could detect a heartbeat was around 6 weeks, so I could have a scan then if I didn't want to wait. I think sometimes healthworkers try to fob us off. Then if we insist on getting what we want, they'll do it. Maybe its their way of conserving resources, only giving tests to those that really want, rather than those that are getting it just because they can. In the meantime, it doesn't feel like we get much support.

    Babyfever - The fact that my lining was building up again was just a good sign that things are back to normal. This was my first pregnancy, so no one is very interested in why - it was just assumed it was a chromosomal abnormality. I'd conceived in my 3rd cycle of TTC so I guess DH and I just do what we did before.

    Ruthie - I read your full story yesterday. I can't imagine going through all that you have. I feel bad for whinging about how I feel. You and Toccara are both in my thoughts and prayers.

    In regards to WTF comments, I think the only thing we can do is be forgiving. It sucks because we are the ones who need the understanding. But, I don't want to turn into some bitter, whiny cow who refuses to talk to people because they just don't get it. To do justice to my friend, I did catch up with her after that comment and she was really supportive and just listened while I told my story. I just remind myself that if I wasn't going through this, I probably wouldn't know what to say either.

    thanks babyfever....yes I agree it has worked at times but because I haven't had a proper cylce since my m/c I thought I'd use that until I got AF again then I'd be able to start charting again...even though doc said I should just forget about the charts and temp taking etc and just relax it will happen naturally WTF ! at least when Im charting I know when Im ovulating and I know when I should have s3x so I have the best shot! doctors sometimes they just don't have a clue!

    Ruthie - yes I had noticed we had the same due date, so was really watching your progress and wishing you all the best because my bub was due the same time and it would've been a bit of comfort for me to see a bub that made it on the same day, alas and curse the Gods it was not meant to be for either of us this time....Im TTCing and I havent yet had one full cylce so have no idea but am trying anyway, but I did m/c naturally so maybe its different. Wishing you lots of stickyvibes and make sure you let us know when your TTCing!!!
