Tempus -So sorry for you FIL, it is hard to watch and wait and know there is nothing you can do except try to make their passing as easy as possible for them.

Starrysky - I too have got my hopes up and am beating them down with a stick. I am only 6dpo and have to go to the loo heaps, tender breasts, constipation, and I feel wierd bloated in the stomach, not like when AF is coming. I keep telling myself that its because its still a short time since m/c (Nov 25) and I am just reading things into it, but it is hard to stay sensible and calm!

I realised I never shared my story with you ladies so here is a shortish version. DH and I were married in Sept 06 and went on a 6 week honeymoon in Europe. DH had been wanting to have children from about a year before the wedding but I felt that there was so much to do, so much time as we were still young, and personally I wanted to be married first (not that I am knocking anyone who chooses kids first as it could have gone that way for me too!) We got back from the honeymoon and I went off the pill the day we arrived. For 4 months no AF but nothing but BFN's. I had so many tests. B'ding started to hurt a lot and then in March 07 got the news I had pre-cancerous cells in my cervix so I had what's called a cone biopsy to remove them (they take a part of your cervix). Of ocurse being me I haemmoraghed after the op and was rushed back in, DH hadn't been informed and when I wasn't back in recovery when he expected me, and no-one could tell him where I was he panicked. Needless to say he cried when he finally got to see me. Anyway we were then told no babies until at the very least I got the all clear at 6 month checkup. That was in early Nov 07 and got the all clear which was great because nothing was certain and we may have had to wait longer, or more surgery. A week later we found out I was pregnant and felt like FINALLY something had come easy to us, we hadn't been seriously trying but in all honesty I wasn't careful as I was hopeful to get the all clear. At 6 weeks I had the m/c and was devestated. It happened the day I told my family I was pregnant. At times I kick myself for not starting our family all those years ago when my DH was pushing for it, I could already have a child now. Sometimes I think that if I could have at least one I would be able to handle it better if that was it. Then again probably not. So there it is.

Fingers crossed for a BFP next Sunday! I am testing a day early as it is the weekend, DH and I have the whole day together, unlike any other day in the week, and I can sleep in a little and still use FMU. It will also make it easier if I am going to get AF I would prefer to see the BFN instead of blood being the first sign. That's why I decided for a slightly earlier test (only 1 day though!)
