    Canary--I think you're right about this being a lucky month. It is Spring, after all, which always means new birth!

    plc--Thanks for doing the google search, I guess I could've just done that myself! Wow, so 17 hours--so it's Mon. here, and Tue. morning there? So do my posts always seem a day behind, or what? Lol, jk... Good luck at your appt today! Here's hoping April will be the lucky month for us all!

    pbstar--That's funny, I definitely wasn't up posting in the middle of the night! When I wake up in the morning it shows the posts from there as being very early in the morning, as well! But now I know, 17 hours--it's crazy! Hope your feeling better!

    Mel--Strong woman! Four days, how exciting! I hope I'm as strong as you next week--next Fri. is the day for me! You must be a very patient woman!

    ll80--So sorry about your grandfather! Sweet of you to stay with grandmother. Take care of yourself and your little one, too!

    Trac--Stay positive, honey! It's nice that the dr's office was so understanding. Can they just do an earlier u/s? Try to stay calm and relaxed, and try super hard not to stress--everything's going to be great, you'll see! Remember, you've had 1 child so that's a very good sign that there would be no complications with this one! I had my youngest after 3 m/c! So relax and be happy--it'll be perfect!

    Jodsan--Sorry to hear your still sick. Hope you feel better soon! Same thing happened with DF last night and this morning On a happier note, it looks like our cycle days are only 5 days apart! Woo hoo! Gotta be lucky this mo!

    Hi Issy! Hope you're doing well!

    Having some slight cramps tonight--oh, please, oh please, oh please be from implantation! The only other thing I could think of is that maybe my chart was wrong and maybe I'm only just now O?? Although we've been trying since Sat. 5th, so technically it really could be from implantation, right? Hope I'm not just grasping at straws... Also been spotting for about an hour now after bd'ing. Going to keep my eyes open for anymore signs (actually I'm going to get ready for bed, so I guess I won't be keeping my eyes open for these signs tonight!) But tomorrow, I will be desperately searching for any sign I can find! Hope I don't sound as desperate as I feel! Sweet dreams everyone, will check in on you all in the morning!

    Well.. today my partner and i decided that we are activly going to TTC from this month on.

    Im very excited but cautious at the same time. I know how difficult it is to concieve and if i do then there is that over hanging thought of "will i m/c again?" which im sure that people in here would know all to well


    Hopefully i'll get a BFP soon.... Good luck to all you ladies trying as well!!

    Hi everyone

    To AJC, Bettyboop, pcl1805, jen805, smilanatu, canary, and jodsan thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. It's great to know I have support here, especially since I haven't told anyone except dh, and a close girlfriend who I'm hoping will come with me to my scan. You know, I don't want to make the mistake again of telling people only to tell them when they ask that I had mc.

    pbstar - You can deffinately do this ttc thing. Just know what you've gotta do, but don't focus entirely on it. Have some fun along the way and before you know if you'll be staring at a .

    issy02 - Stay positive in your ttc journey. DH and I have been ttc for nearly 4 years and had 2 mc along the way. I understand how you feel. :goodluck2:

    ll80 - I hope your grandfather is okay and your grandmother is coping. It will be a great comfort for her to have you by her side for support.

    Abbey B - Goodluck on your ttc journey.

    trac73 - cool pg buddy. for both of us. I've had 3 mc too. We both are probably elated with a bit of stress and nervous energy mixed together. My u/s is on the 3rd May, when's yours. Here's hoping we can support each other all the way to the end and come out of the journey with a healthy baby each.

    Hi Ladies,

    I have been lurking for a while and would love to join this thread - just wanted to say straight off the bat that I have been reading your posts for a good few weeks now and they provided a HUGE amount of support to me. And the amount of encouragement and positivity in here is just lovely - it seems like a very safe space.

    My story (25 words or less!) - conceived bub number 2 in Jan this year on our first month of trying and we were ecstatic. Had a scan at 6 weeks and saw a lovely heartbeat at 120 bpm. Went to ob for initial appt in March at a bit over 9 weeks only to find out that the bub was there and measuring good for dates, but there was no heartbeat. No bleeding or cramping at all (missed miscarriage)... D&C the next day...

    I'm sure you all understand the emotional wreck I was for a while so I won't dwell on that ... BUT .. I have a wonderful 2 year old to give me lots of chubby-armed cuddles and goldfish kisses, a lovely husband and the other good news is that my first AF arrived yesterday meaning that I am pouring every ounce of energy I have into looking forward and TTC a brother or sister for my DS (even though the thought is a bit terrifying)

    Thanks for listening and lots of and the stickiest to you all...

    Hey Everyone!

    Sorry it's been awhile for me-just lots of craziness going on...
    AF came this weekend right on time which I guess is good because I can't start taking Clomid again this week and hope for a BFP. Obviously O'ing on my own didn't work out so well for me last month. Also, don't know what it has been like for all of you the first month after m/c but AF has been AWFUL-super terrible cramps and medication doesn't help...they lead to migraines and then the migraines make me sick to my stomach-YUCK! Hopefully I have seen the worst of it! On a good note, DH was very sweet this weekend and cuddled with me and took care of me-not always usual for him! Anyhow, looks like I'll be starting Clomid on Wednesday and hopefully we?ll get lucky the first time with it again, but after almost 18 months of trying I am not sure...I have decided that the TWW is really the worst time of the month for me as I wish the days away and am consumed by every possible thought of being pg-I am going to try VERY hard this month to let go during the TWW and remember to keep living instead of being so darned focused on what I can't control! When I had my m/c this little poem from when I was a kid came to mind and it has been helping me keep going and put this in bigger hands than my own...hope it helps a few of you!

    Broken Dreams

    As children bring their broken toys
    With tears for us to mend,
    I brought my broken dreams to God
    Because He was my friend.
    But then instead of leaving Him
    In peace to work alone,
    I hung around and tried to help
    With ways that were my own.

    At last I snatched them back and cried,
    "How could you be so slow"
    "My child," He said, "What could I do?
    You never did let go."

    Let go and let God

    Congrats to the BFP's and GL relaxing to the TWW's! More persies later!
