TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ January 08

[Canary]

Hi Everybody!

Like Laura, I am so pleased that January is finally over. It was a really sh*tty month and a bit of a struggle to get through. I was so convinced that AF would arrive on 1st Feb, that it came as a bit of a shock when she didnt. I am a bit confused because I have had mild cramps for the last 4 days now. Also, my temp was 36.4 when I started temping (admittedly, not that long ago), but for the last 3 days it has been 36.7... A sure sign that AF is due?? Maybe I bled so much at the beginning of the month, I cant possibly lose anymore?

When I got up this morning, everything was covered in a fine layer of glistening snow!! It was so beautiful, but by the time I had been to a step class and back, it had all gone. The last time it snowed, DH and I were in the hospital after the m/c and we were watching a security man build a snowman out in the carpark.

Angelbabies, I liked your poem. You sound very optomistic, I hope that the herbs are helpful. Do they taste yucky?
Laura, did you get a car? I hate car shopping too, we got ours between Xmas and New Year, but thankfully DH liked the first one we came accross, so we bought it.

Is there anybody else waiting to POAS after Sami?

Betty B, don't know what to say other than thinking of you and sorry that you are still waiting. If you need to vent, you know where we are.

I'm off to try out my new bike, although I'm still p*ssed off that the last one was pinched, I cant help being excited about the new one!
Take Care everyone.

Happy groundhog's day! In case you don't know what that is, on February 2, the groundhog Punxatawny Phil from Hobbler's Nob, Pennsylvania checks for his shadow. If he sees it, then six more weeks of winter. If he doesn't, then spring is just around the corner. He saw it, unfortunately.
(I've heard there's a crab in Atlantic City, New Jersey who predicts the weather, too, but obviously he's just a cheap Phil rip-off)

nicksterUK: no! not the laptop! but at least you can still post

ll80: maybe your masters degree is meant to be--and the universe is taking care of it for you? Good luck with the new car thing, too

Angel Babies and Katiegirl: sorry about AF, but you sound like you both have a real good attitude about it.

Do any of you ladies

Well I am going to give myself a big pat on the back. I just had a client of mine come in with her newborn and I proceeded to design the interior of her house for her as she walked around breast feeding it. I couldnt bring myself to talk about her baby which im sure she would have felt strange about because with such a tiny baby i m sure it is the constant point of conversation with people around her......... But I did it!!!!!!! I constantly felt the twinges inside that wanted to just scream out about how unfair everything is but I kept them under control Now considering AF is currently visiting, my emotions were kept together....... Good On Me!

As for AF..... Ohhhh goodness..... she s not here for a visit..... she s here for a spring clean! I have NEVER been so emotional or so heavy..... has anyone else experienced such a change in the first AF after m/c.

With my herb,I m not sure whats actually in them. They are chinese herbs and the taste like ..... ummmmm ..... ummmmmmmm CHIT!....... I bascially take it, then quickly before even taking another breath i eat something or drink something. I m not complaining though. Having just finished an IVF cycle where you are having injections every day.... I can live with 5ml twice daily of a yucky drink.

Well thats it for me, hope every one is having a great weekend, I m at work at the moment but taking 5 to keep myself together after a complete design... (couple of hours)... with newborn in toe.

Good On Me!
