hiya trac73- there is a whole thread dedicated to trying for boys or girls in the ttc section I think, great tips and tricks, from what anecdotal evidence I have gathered it seems to work!

welcome antheia- seen you around the traps a bit, so sorry for your previous losses and wishing you the best of luck with ttc this one, sending you heaps of babydust and extra sticky vibes!
just love your avie, I want to know where mine is too!

tempus- so sorry for your fil, and you and your family, sending you lots of positive energy and hoping for the best for everyone concerned- I meant to post earlier but it slipped my mind sorry, lots of hugs.

hopingsoon- hope u are feeling better today, not that theres anything wrong with having a down day, a month after my mc I was still doing pg tests to see where my hormone levels were, I think I was still getting faint positives then. but hey.....you never know.....best of luck!

smilantu- why you feel so yucky? big hugs luv, I wish (as one lady so perfectly put it) that I had the magic words to make everyone who "walks in these shoes" (wink, wink angelbabies) feel better.
but to be honest I cant think of anything but the usual plattitudes which just feel so meaningless after youve heard them a hundred times. I hope you feel better soon, big hugs for you.

plc1805- oh my, you sound like me, perfectly normal and then a total "head case "(as dp says it!)
i have been up and down so much in the last 6 months.

well, today at work I was having a chat with one of the ladies I work with and she told me about how her daughter is terrified of becoming preg, as twins run in their family, she told me that her son would have had a twin but she lost him at 4 mths but carried the other to full term, so I then told her about my experience, and I almost broke down in tears, at work!
this is strange for me, I mean i know I dont talk about my mc much, (no one wants to hear it, I can sooo take a hint! in my real life I mean, not u guys!) but I was able to talk about it without tears about 3 days after.....I had to ring a lot of people to let them know....not nice.....anyway, just wierd.
so I am getting my hopes up again (stay down, damn you!) am sure that I o'd, and that we bd at the right time, am now needing to go to the loo alot, telling myself its nothing, ahh well, I am sure you all know what I mean....
good luck everyone, sorry if I missed you in my post, I will get to you next time!
