Welcome Leigh - sorry to hear about your little angel bubs - wishing you all the luck in the world!

Trac - temping is the best thing I have ever done since we've been ttc. Just buy a basal body temp thermometer & take your temp at the same time each day. It will tell you soooo much about your cycle - the most important thing is it will tell you when you ovulate so you can time bd (although I do see we have a new term in here) sorry shall I say you'll know the 'right' time to get jiggy with DH. It can also unlock a few things about your hormones (ie: if your lutel phase is too short). my ob/gyn recommended that I started to temp and it's the best thing we've ever done. After m/c # 1 we tried for 6 months, just bd'ing when we thought was the right time - I was starting to get really frustrated and bought a bbt therm. At first I thought the temp thing was a bit of an old wives tale but we fell pg second month temping. Highly recommend it.

I also bought a maybe baby - it's a little miscroscope (small can fit in your pocket) and you put saliva on it each morning. When you are about to ovulate it can create a ferning pattern. I didn't find maybe baby too helpful (plus it's about $60 to buy compared to about $12 for bbt th) but if you use in conjunction with bbt it's ok. I wouldn't invest in one just yet - see how you go with the bbt first.

You can also check your cervical mucous - it's mean to be like egg white when you are most fertile. I don't find this really works for me so I don't bother with this but you might want to google it or ask some of the other ladies.

The thing I like most is the bbt method, saves you a fortune in pg tests and thre absolute best thing is that 18 high temps after you ovulate is good indication you are pg. I don't know about you but that single lonely pink line is one of the most gutting sights in the world - I just couldn't keep doing it to myself each month.

Anyway I've babbled on heaps - hope everyone is well and doing their best for a BFP this month. I was most pleased to see af this morn (as last month we weren't allowed to try until got some post m/c results back) so this month is it - we're officially ttcing again. Don't ask me why I'm most excited because I'll be all down in the dumps if af appears in another 32 days. On the other hand - DH is most excited about the hectic bd schedule I have planned, he he he!

Good night

Life has just gone nuts. As with you I m waiting on post miscarriage AF. I have absolutley no idea when she will be here but I cant wait. wait.... wait.....wait.... wait..... Probably the most common word with IVF or TTC........ WAIT......
