    Sweetpetite-- my doc said to call if AF hadn't shown by 6 weeks post m/c. I think it took almost exactly that. Have you had the beta blood tests? It can take quite a while to get back down to zero.

    Sweetpetite, It took just over 8 weeks for AF to come back for me and I was able to stop worrying when I actually got a positive OPK just after 6 weeks. I don't think it's abnormal to wait 8 weeks. If I hadn't have had a positive OPK, I think I would have gone backk to see my GP to get some assistance to get AF happening. I was told that a D&C pretty well clears everything away, so there's no gradual dropping of hCG like there is for a natural m/c. HTH.

    Littlescottishboy, sorry that AF turned up *hugs*. BTW, I love that picture of your little boy, he looks so cute and cheeky!

    Wowser, I recommend LC too. Bummer about getting sent OPKs instead of HPTs. Although some people say they get positives on their OPKs when they're pregnant. I tested that theory out when I was pg and yep, a very convincing positive on the OPK I used.

    CONGRATULATIONS on your BFP, Dawnee!! Hope some of us can follow you to PAML! Sending you lots and lots of

    Hugs LizJessie for having to hold off a little while. Maybe focus on getting yourself as healthy and pregnancy ready as possible! Or enjoy spicing up the romance factor in the interim.

    Beaksie, definitely sounds fertile! Go get 'em. BD, BD, BD!!!

    Not much to report my end. Thought I was in for an early O but my temps aren't reflecting that so don't think so. I'm also taking antihistamines for really bad hayfever (allergic conjunctivitus in my left eye, itchy legs and generally feeling blah) and it's recommended that you shouldn't take antihistamines if pg or trying to get pg. So trying to get on top of the allergies at the moment before O time.

    Happy first day of spring, everyone!!
