Hi All-

Finally got some time to check in!

Leyla, Shoegal & Megsmum: Congrats! What wonderful news to return to! Wishing you great success (and some relaxation!) in the coming months

Dawnee, Junebug, Ems, Laui59: Welcome. So sorry for the events that led you to be here but I hope you find the comfort and support here you are looking for. May your stay be short and your departure be a joyous victory!

Satya: I’m sorry your first day back at work was a tough one. I hope each day gets a bit easier for you and that you’re back in the saddle (er, so to speak ) before you know it. I truly admire your ‘no time to waste’ attitude so soon after your loss. These things always send me into a hole of despair it takes me so long to dig my way out of – and it takes my poor DH even longer to climb out of the hole I throw him in each time too. That I’ve seen, every gal in here is amazingly courageous and I feel good to be able to draw such strength from this group.

Treelo: This goes back about 2 threads now but just wanted to say congrats for your DS’s hat-trick. That’s wonderful! Sounds like he’s quite the little athlete!

TwoMums: My deepest condolences for your dad. I hope you are finding the support you need to get through this most difficult of times.

Pash: I hope things are moving forward for you quickly so you can get past all this hardship and finally move on with things.

Ems & LizJessie: Congrats on your upcoming nuptials!

Sharon: Good to see you back again!

Hello to everyone I missed! It’s amazing how fast this thread moves and if you’re out for a bit, there’s so much to catch up on!

As for me, according to my little O tester, I Oed Aug 1 so I’m hoping my first AF since m/c will show up in the next week or so. I seriously considered TTC at my first O but my DH would have said it was too soon and I didn’t have the energy to argue w/ him. At least now I can say I’ve passed the recommended wait time. I am still up and down a lot (down a lot on vacation) but more up than down now I think which is an improvement. My DD turned 1 on Aug 3. Mostly happy times save for I would have been at week 12 which is a bummer. But as soon as AF shows up, I will start with my little tester and try again. My hat is off to you gals who can temp. I guess I’m just not disciplined enough. But I found FF before my last pg in May and b/t my tester and checking my uterus position which I learned about there, it worked. I have hopes it will work again (although I’d like a *sticky* one this time please!!)
