Emmykate - I don't think you're being *****y at all. Some women just don't realise how lucky they are. You should've heard some of the things DH had to say about some of the women he saw while i was in hospital for my D&C. From my room you could see the hospital entrance and he was shocked at the number of pregnant women smoking outside. One of them looked about 6 months (7 at most) and we had seen her in emergency 2 days earlier because her waters broke. Go figure!
Joey - Congratulations! We need you to keep in touch to give us hope around here.
Tam - I hope you get some answers soon.
Louise - I am so sorry for your loss. I think empty sums up how I felt and still feel now. I have bouts of sadness, crying, screaming, anger, frustration but emptiness is the one constant. I had a D&C and it was my first encounter with general anaesthetic. I felt completely disorientated after that. Some part of me kept hoping that it didn't happen. Afterall, I have no memory of it. But then there's the physical emptiness too.
Adele - I've been thinking of you too. I'm sorry that you're having a hard time A wellness retreat sounds perfect - I'm so jealous. Is your DP going too? It sounds like you could do with the time together. I can totally sympathise with feeling angry with your body. I didn't eat for about a week. I'd been forcing myself to eat when I didn't feel like it due to m/s for 4 weeks and I just didn't see the point in forcing myself if I wasn't hungry. It was only me that would suffer now. As long as DP lets you rant and rave and then holds you when you cry.
and to Babyfever, Ruthie, mannie, hannah, and babyonboard!
chappas--Glad to hear DH's scan went well and you got the green light to begin TTC again! :goodluck2:
smi--What a positive, and inspiring epiphany! You go girl!
joey--Here's some to carry over to the PAML thread! Wishing you a healthy and happy pg'cy!
mollycat--Ahhh... touche! I'm still here, just plodding along... thinking this won't be the month for me, despite all the BD'ing at the right times and the "high" conception score--today's temp went in the opposite direction than what I had hoped. Grrr...so I've kinda given up hope already for this cycle. *sigh*
I'm never going to give up on your miracle, going to keep those going! Are there no other options aside from IVF that you can try?
Emmykate--Sorry to hear about your cr@ppy day! Rant away...You are certainly NOT being a cow! It's absolutely ridiculous that some people are given such an amazing gift, yet they tarnish and pollute that gift by drinking and smoking.... while we go to such great lengths to be blessed with such a gift, only to have it ripped away from us! It's cruel and there's absolutely no logic to it whatsoever!
I recommend getting a BBT thermometer and starting up a chart on FF (fertility friend) so you can figure out where you are in your cycle. It's such a great help when you actually know what's going on with your body! Plus, it's something to do that makes you feel like you're doing something proactive and useful--but it's very addicting!
That sux about having to put off your internship... I think the world needs more women docs! Woo hoo--girl power!
issy--Now there's a familiar face that I haven't seen in a while! We could never forget about you, issy! Good luck with your BT's this week! Always good to hear from you!
louise-- I'm sorry that it's under such sad circumstances that we have to meet... Some words that come to mind when I think of how I felt after my m/c in Mar. are depleted, empty, angry, confused, bitter, overwhelmed by grief, and complete devastation. It's honestly the hardest thing I've ever had to cope with in my whole entire life! However, it does get better... it just takes time... and we're all individual, so it takes some of us longer than others. I assure you there is a light at the end of the tunnel--and we'll help you get there! Feel free to pull up a seat and join us on this bumpy ride--you've come to the right place for comfort and support!
Tam--:goodluck2: with your FS appt, u/s results, and DH's results!
dellydoo--Good for you, I hope the counselling helps! I'm so jealous of your 5 day wellness retreat--it sounds absolutely lovely!!
Hey Van! Wow, you and issy in the same night! It's like a reuinion! Saying lots of for your BFP!!
babyonboard & fifi!!
Fab 2/3 Chyan's--Special for my girls! Krystie, it's Jen'sday Wednesday! Have you figured out a good one for Thursday yet? I guess if you were having a cr@ppy day, it could be curseday Thursday! (ok, ok, it's the only thing I could think of!) Oh wait, just look how off I am--it's only Bluesday Tuesday for me--see not chatting with you girls is completely throwing me off base! Babydust, stickyvibes, and super big hugs for you both! *kiss* *kiss*

: stupid typos!
Hannah- I was wondering if the whole lining thing was a bad thing or a good thing. Thanks for the info. I'm glad to hear that things seem in order. I'm sorry they didn't give you an answer on your loss. Did they happen to run any Blood work to check for, blood clotting & what not?, Or did they just say well its your first pregnanancy we will see what happens next time? . Sorry once again for your loss. I hope you guys get a BFP very soon with a sticky bean.
Mannie-Yeah, I have heard other woman getting pregnant with a relaxed cycle. But, As for me I coudln't do it because the fact I'm already addicted to it, And since I have & you have had miscarriges its good to know when you Oed so you know when to go in for your progesterone checks and what not. I did concieve my girls when I wasn't thinking about it alot & I wasn't as obsessed with getting pregnant with them. Its like when your not trying to get pregnant you do. And when you do try you dont get pregnant. But, I found out this year that you can get pregnant when you try as well:-). I would keep charting and stuf if I was you.
EmmyKate-I cannot believe someone would do that WOW! People are so wrong!... I'm sorry that DH is away. Mine is too :-( he works out of state for a week at a time and home the next week etc. Have you tried ovulation Tests? I usually start testing at CD 10- I get a positive. Big I relaly hope you get your BFP.
ATM-I'm going in for BT here in a few. And, I have big BBS & Nausia. But cramping. I think its already over. Cramps are always a bad sign for me. But hopefully Im wrong and I get my BFP.
