Hi girls! I've been quiet for a few days because I've been up in Stockholm for work again and haven't had a second over to check my own email or anything. I've worked 10 hours a day for 3 days and the nights have been kind of rough -- I'm getting into the same sort of sweaty insomnia phase as when I was pregnant with Beiron. Don't worry, I've got an appointment with the boss tomorrow to say that this work load can't go on! But it's pretty cool to feel like I'm actually capable enough in order to work for that long -- it wasn't that long ago I was doing waaaaay more surfing than working and sneaking out early...

When I read what you wrote, Jo, about having your arms around me the next few weeks, I teared up. It was just such a sweet thing to say. And that I come back after being gone a few days and see that Helen and everyone is asking after me... it means a lot to me!

Jo, AF is definitely very tough. It was the week or more in either direction of both AFs after Beiron that I was barely functional. I greatly admire the strength that we see in you here. I just hope that you're not being "too strong" if you know what I mean! *hug*

Helen, did your docs say anything about IC? I've thought and read a lot about it since it always comes up on pages about late miscarriage, but it always says that it's "painless." Mine was so far from painless (and the sac was intact when it came out) that I feel comfortable ruling that one out.

I'm glad to hear that things are still tip-top for you, Katie. Out of curiosity, do you know how the healthcare system in Australia handles possible hereditary breast cancer? That is, in the states I was always told that I should start having mammograms at 25 instead of the usual 40 because my mom had breast cancer. But I moved here to Sweden at 24 and don't know up from down about how they handle it here. I believe they might actually test me to see if I have the gene. Send your mom our love!

Laney -- like I said in the preg thread, it's so unfair to have to go through the two late losses you did and then get smacked with a "it could happen to anyone" chemical pregnancy. I wish you just could have had a break, because you're due for one.

Hammi -- mini congrats on selling your apartment then. It's still a while left then till your pre-conception counseling. Are you anxious?

I'm going to have to cut this short and whizz through the rest of my surfing so I can get to bed. I can't believe I have to go to work tomorrow! After these three days my body reeeeeally thinks I should get to sleep in tomorrow! Hugs to the people I missed -- Paula, Sue, hope you guys are doing well!
