Crumpet congrats to you as well on your BFP Wonderful news to have 2 BFPs on the board so close together.
thanks hun!!!
Crumpet - sorry you haven't heard about the job. The market can be pretty tough at the moment. We have just interviewed for a vacancy in my area. We had several good applicants but we can't give the job to all of them unfortunately! And I am so pleased that you felt much better after your counselling session. Are you planning on going again?


AFM, it's been an emotional week for me. AF arrived on Sunday morning so I was able to get my day1 b/t done. You might remember a while ago I posted about being concerned that I was only O every 2nd month well it appears that is not the case. I seem to be Oing normally around day 12-15 and then the next month around day 5-6. And some cycles I am getting EWCM around day 4-6 and then the Fertility Monitor confirms O on day 12-15 without any EWCM. So this cycle I decided to do an OPK yesterday - strong test line, almost the same as the control line, and today - even darker test line so I am definitely Oing now. I will also use the Fertility Monitor to see if it thinks I am also O later in the cycle. The weird thing (if that isn't weird enough) is that my cycle lengths are all around 26-28 days long. Surely I am not O twice in one cycle? Or maybe the egg is growing and then it stops until mid cycle when it releases from the ovary? I have heard of IVF cycles where the egg just stops growing for a week so without any known reason. Bizarre. Anyway, my TCM is going to research it and I will talk to my FS when we see her in 2 weeks.
yeah im disappointed coz it seemed to be looking so good, but oh well like u say u cant employ everyone!!!
the councellor will do a phone session with me this week and see how that goes, then if i want i can go there if i prefer or she can come to me or we will keep up the phone sessions.....

sorry to hear ur having issues with O timing hun ,hope u can sort it out asap!
AFM - I had my docs appointment, all routine. I have done one bloodtest for HCG and will do another next week to make sure it's increasing normally. No results yet.
I'm starting to get worried cause I have NO symptoms at all!!
glad ot hear ur appt went well hun!!
Hi Ladies,
A big congratulations to Crumpet and CharlieB That is so awesome, I am so happy for you! (Even though I am a little jealous )

I am going ok. I moved twice in 4 days because the 1st place I moved into was DISGUSTING.. Really filthy and I was so unhappy there, so was my cat. I don't know what I was thinkng when I agreed to move in, I think I just wanted to get out of my current situatuion before I changed my mind! Anyway, I moved again and now I am a lot happier. Even though I HATE sharing.. I just can't afford to live on my own though.. It's so hard to break the habit of being in a relationship. Thinking, what am I going to have for dinner, instead of we.. It's hard to get used to and if I'm honest it was REALLY hard to let go of TTC.. I know it wasn't the right thing to do when our relationship was in trouble but still. I want a baby SO desperately and that is hard to let go of . I have gone off my herbs obviously, but I started spotting again so I might go back on them just for the mere fact of keeping the bleeding away. I will see how I go.. I am still doing my temps as I think it is good for me to try to see a pattern and let me know what is happening with my own body, even though I am not TTC.. Well ladies, thanks for listening, thanks for all your support.
thanks hun.....

my heart breaks for u hun it really does.....
i couldnt even begin to imagine how hard it must be for u right now....
big hugs for u....
Ok so much to say!
Again charlie B and crumpet congrats! Yay- I am so happy for you and may I say a tad bit jealous.....

AFM- rough week. My EDD went better than expected, but made this week kind of hard. Sorry I haven't written much. The vacation really was nice. Unfortunately the weather was pretty cold and windy so I didn't get in much beach time, but just leaving home and not worrying about work and TTC was really great. We were on holiday when I O. Today is CD28 and no sign of AF. I have had a few elevated temps mixed in with reg ones, and was hoping it might be a triphasic chart, but I haven't been doing them continuously. I did test today and got a BFN. I am better with it than in previous months, because I have tried to distract myself with work. I don't know.....I am pretty frustrated. I read a statistic somewhere that said that in the under 30 group 96% of couples get pregnant within 4 months. I guess again we are in the minority. It is also frustrating because with wrok/school and timing of TTC, if we don't suceed in the next 2 months I am really going to have to re-evaluate my planning for going back to med school. I am thinking about going and talking to a doctor- we have been doing everything right. What do you think? Am I just getting ahead of myself? I am also wondering if I have a luteal phase defect.....It is only 11-12 days usually for me, which seems right on the verge...sigh. Lots to think about.

Sending everyone lots of
thanks hun!!

sorry to hear about ur BFN.... hope u can get some answers soon...
and glad u had a great time, and that ur EDD wasnt a horrible day


AFM: not really much to tell unfortunatly.......

am off to my GP this morning for my bloods to confirm everything but my tests have been getting darker and darker so thats a good thing!
