Hi Everyone. So much to catch up on!
Tempus - I will keep you and your family in my prayers. It must be a very difficult and upsetting time for you, but I can tell that you are a caring person and I am sure your FIL can sense that.
Good luck to all those in the 2WW - I hope it isn't too maddening for you. I am CD9 and getting ready to O. Why is it better to BD every other day? Is it more so you can see what kind of CM is being produced without getting it confused with BD? If that makes sense?
Berecca - I understand how you question what would have happened if you had not waited. I married in Nov 06 and DH wanted to start trying straight away but I kept putting if off. So now I often think what was I waiting for! I think we all assume that when we decide we want to fall pregnant it will just happen with no problems (and why shouldn't we believe that) and then when you MC or have difficulties it comes as a complete shock to the system. Don't be too hard on yourself. It is very hard and cruel losing our first so I understand your feelings. I feel that the innocence and pure joy that I experienced up to 20 weeks has been stripped from me forever.
DH and I had a great talk on Friday night and I think we really got to understand how each are feeling. It was useful because we now both feel we are on the same team again and wanting the same things. Grief can make it very difficult to remain a close relationship so I am really happy that we have worked through this.
We are also attending a SIDS support group on Tuesday night for the first time - there will be parents there who lost children at all stages from MC through to still birth and beyond. It is the night before my birthday so I am hoping it is a helpful experience and won't bring me down - but I doubt it will.
That is it from me for now, have to go as am very hungry!!!
