Teni - happy belated birthday. Hope your cycle has sorted it self out and that you do get you BFP on your birthday. I will always remember when I got my BFP with DS cause it was Xmas day!!! Best present ever. I'm so sorry that you are having problems with your cousin. I don't think people really understand until they go through this themselves (which if i had one genie wish it would be that nobody did have to go through it).

Dory - your poor furbaby. I hope he/she is OK and that he/she is loving all the extra cuddles and attention. Also good to hear that things are moving along for you with your bubs (stalking you on the preg forum)

Gigi - well done girl for striking out with the new hair do! Me - hmmm tried the bob once but didn't work. Have had the same long (Rachel from friends type) hair do for the past 10 years but would love to have the guts to do something different!!

Crumpet - Oh sweetie, I am so sorry your DH is having such a tough time. Men grieve just as hard don't they but show it in different ways and also dealing with the anxiety about this pregnancy must be hard on both of you. Take care of each other. Good luck with the stitch also. Doesn't sound pleasant but then I was surprised how quickly I recovered from D&C's so I hope you will recover from your surgery quickly also.

Now, I know this may seem absolutely unbelievable but my year of hell is continuing. I have the chickenpox at the ripe old age of 35!!! With everything else I have been through it is almost so ridiculous you have to laugh. Somehow DS managed to avoid it (though I imagine I picked it up at some kids class we go to) but he is bound to get it in a couple of weeks. So just as I will get better, he will get it and we will probably be house bound for a month (a fate worse than death with a toddler!!) DH has been awesome and is taking time of work to look after him as it isn't fair to keep him locked up all day with me and also I have been feeling like the hell the past couple of days. I am feeling a bit better now that the worst headache of my life has gone along with the fever but now I am starting to itch. My DH has a list of products an arm long to take to the pharmacy, Calamine lotion, anti-hist, calendula cream. Hopefully the anti-hist will make me so drowsy I won't remember the next week or so!!

The only up-side to this was that when I was pregnant with DD I was always paranoid that I or DS would pick up chicken pox somewhere. At least next pregnancy I won't have to worry. Also, this last D&C seems to have been successful as I haven't had any bleeding. Just have to wait for next period now as there definitely will be no sexy time with me being pox riddled!!!! I really do look like a plague victim from the middle ages.....
