Hi everyone,

Pash - I'm so sorry to hear your news. I hope it wasn't a molar pg as that 6 months to 1 year wait to ttc would be very difficult for you. As you say, at least you will get some thorough testing now. I hope you are feeling OK today.

Leyla hope you have a great day.

Belinda - I'm sorry to hear about your friends death. Brain tumours are a horrible way to go - a work colleague died of one a couple of years ago & it was hard watching her go through the downward spiral. How heavy has your bleeding got? It's probably nothing to worry about, when I was younger every now & then I'd get a major AF that would gush & be really painful & I would feel absolutely drained.... thankfully it's been a number of years since I've had one.



Well its 3DPO for me and I have sore BBs. I'm feeling a little better today but am still concerned about the whole situation. Maybe I'm over-reacting, maybe it wont be as bad as I imagine but I have a feeling that my SIL will only have one topic of conversation for months.


Sorry to those I missed when I lost my personals yesterday.

I'd made the following notes so here goes but I'm sure I've missed people.

las - glad the BT went well. Your symptoms increasing is a great sign.

Bun - I think you might be better off to beg off the work function.

Salt - A dip means nothing until your AF arrives. I totally understand your frustration with the whole TTC process. Just have a look at my post last night and you will see how messed up I am right now.

Timinik - At first I liked the idea of the secret, until I read some articles about it and saw some reports on TV about it. The Aussie woman who wrote it has been accused of plaigurising (sorry I'm sure that's spelt wrong) it from another Aussie woman who wrote a very similar book several years ago. Some of the passages were practically word for word. One of the guys who appeared in the video has been ripping off dozens of Aussie people by saying he will invest their money to make money for them but he won't give it back to them. No wonder he was preaching that all you have to do is ask the universe for what you want and you will get it. Experts also warn that the teachings are not healthy. For instance, if you go with what they say you will believe that you will not catch a disease if you truly believe that you won't get it. Very dangerous territory that one. That said I think that positive thinking is a great idea, but I think the secret has tried to take this a little too far. I fell pregnant whilst TTC but really I did not think it would happen (due to my history) - it came as a huge shock. Since then I switched to thinking that it can happen again and it's just not happening. I even tried the imagining that I'd already received my gift - ie that I was pregnant and all that did was left me more disappointed than normal when I didn't turn out to be pregnant.... I think maybe I should go back to thinking that it's not possible again.... that seemed to work for me. It's great if it works for you but it's just not my cup of tea.

megsmum - If your progesterone defficiency was diagnosed based on just one blood test then it's not likely to be accurate. My GP had told me that mine was low and that I wasn't ovulating well (and I'd had two tests) and that my estrogen was too high but when I went to my gyno he told me that my results were nothing to worry about. I believe a whole series of blood tests have to be undertaken to diagnose a hormone problem accurately so don't stress about that.
