    Angelic - wow girl! You have my wholehearted CONGRATULATIONS. My theory is to take the good whilst we can and when we have it!

    I know it's hard to get excited with your journey being so hard and heartbreaking up to this date. Hoping this is the turnaround BFP for you. Hoping this bub is well and truly sticky... Sending you all my love and strength. You can do it. Lots of positive belly rubs..... you know when I first read your post, I thought you meant OPK's lines... LOL. I am really really happy for you and have to say I have a good feeling today.

    Chez - bugger ole AF.

    Sam - I am loving the addition of a feline fur baby to your household! What did you call your little cat warmer? Winter is the best time for cats - they are so snuggly, if only because they want to use us as heaters.

    Teni - Oh sweetie. Is it usual for SD ( Scotty Duck) to be turning you down? I know he's having his own internal struggles at the moment based on what you've posted previously. I know on the rare occassions I have been turned down, it's usually for a pretty good reason, like illness or tiredness. It's always been a big shock to the system to get turned down as my DH always seems to be keen.... I don't know how to help.... I suppose the candles leading up to a luscious you didn't do the trick? What about a racy stint in the great outdoors? Just be careful, don't want you guys getting caught for lewd behaviour... or caught on some cctv and uploaded to utube or something. That would be a real downer.

    Chris W - how are you doing?

    Hope - you've been quiet since your post - are you ok? How are you doing. Sending you some cyber hugs.

    Aries - wotcha up to?

    The big news for me today, is yesterday I taught myself how to cast off and cast on in knitting. I did have DH read the instructions just to make sure I was on the right track... can't believe he sat down with me and genuinely read a knitting book. I wonder what my pay back will be? My next goal is to do a particular stitch. I have tried it but really muffed it up. Will just have to keep trying. I think I know what I am doing wrong - just have to see. I know it doesn't sound like much, but it represents something I have achieved for myself. Apart from that, have been feeling a bit glum because I can't otherwise do too much for myself or around the house. Have a few strategies to get myself over the hump. Will see how they pan out.

    Blessed - you're welcome.... I wanted you to know we were still thought of and loved, even if you weren't posting. No fairweather friends here girl. Same for you Gigi. It always lights up my day when I see your green coloured font on a post.

    Angelic - WOOHOO Congratulations to you! I know those two lines are just one step in your journey but they are such a huge, momentous step. STICKY STICKY VIBES to you.

    ChrisW and Hope - welcome to you both. I really really hope your stay is short - maybe really short for you ChrisW if AF stays away this week!!

    Dory - well done on the knitting front! When I was preg with DS I had a bit of time on my hands after taking early mat leave and managed to knit a very cute hat for him. I then started a lovely cardi but never got round to finishing it - definitely a step up in difficultly from the hat! Knitting is very on trend Dory!!!

    Samcougar - would love to hear what you call your cat. When I was a kid - we lived on a property and ended up looking after so many dumped cats who then had kittens etc etc that I think all up we probably had over 30 cats over 10 years. Most of them were called after rock groups or football stars when named by us in our teens....poor things! After 25 years mum is on her last cat - or so she says. She is 17!!

    Chez - sorry your AF arrived. She seriously sucks when she arrives....fingers crossed for this month

    Tenibear - good luck with getting DH to BD....a few candles, sexy lingerie....couldn't possibly say no!!

    Hello to everyone else. Good luck TTC'ing.

    Now its time for my own pity party. At this point I would love to actually just BD at all!!! I kid you not that with all the problems I had with my preg and since then with all my bleeding etc I think I can count the number of times this year on two hands. How depressing is that!!! Arrgghhh. I am so sick of this. I am seeing my gyno again on Fri but I just feel as though there is something wrong. After D&C, bleed for 5 days and was nearly finished when I started bleeding heavily again. Spoke to my gyno who said he thought it was my period! I didn't even know you could get your period so soon after D&C since they scrape the lining (will talk to him about that again). However, my temps actually agree with that - go figure. So now 6 days later it has nearly stopped again but I am getting lots of mucousy discharge (Sorry TMI). Also feel very tender. So no BD'ing at the moment as I am worried something is wrong. Of course I google and make myself feel worse with all sorts of complications that could happen. At this stage not feeling very positive about ever getting UTD.

    TO top it all off there were so many heavily preg ladies down the shopping centre this morning - obviously all just on mat leave - that I barely managed to hold it together before I got home. I should be about ready to pop....it just hurts so much some days.

    Hopefully I will be more positive my next post....just needed a vent.

    Angelic – OMG!!! Congratulations on your BFP! I was grinning ear to ear when I saw your post. Sending lots of hugs and sticky vibes your way!

    TeniBear – fingers crossed that DH has risen to the challenge!

    SusieQ – Thanks for the welcome. I hope you’re feeling better and able to start TTC again soon.

    Dory – hope your knitting is going well. I could never get much beyond making squares or rectangles (knitted LOTS of scarves). Sweaters were totally outside my capability.

    Gigi and Samcougar – thanks for the welcome and encouragement.

    AFM – BFN yesterday (I just hate that solitary pink line). I will test again tomorrow (17dpo), but if still BFN, then I’ll have to stop the progesterone and invite AF for a stay (sigh).

    Hope everyone else is doing well. Big hugs all around!

    Hi Dory, yes I am still here. Been a little busy over the last week. I get on here quickly and have a read of everyone's posts but don't actually get around to adding to them. Not intentional, I promise.

    Once again, a huge thanks to everyones warm welcome.

    Angellic: Wow, that is wonderful news. I am so very happy for you.

    SusieQ: I really hope you are feeling alot better today. My heart goes out to you. Sometimes it can get very hard when it seems that when you go out every second female is pregnant or pushing around a new born baby. As much as you are happy for those who are fortunate enough to be in that situation, it still can hurt as you long for that so much. Keep that smile plastered on your face, your day will be here soon. GL with TTC.

    AFM: AF arrived on Monday so no such luck this time around. Now i am back on the clomid. Maybe we will have more luck this cycle. Other than that, I have nothing to tell.

    Hello to everyone else on here.

    Angelic- Wow huge congratulations. Sending you lots and lots of sticky vibes.

    SuzieQ- I agree with Gigi, try and stay off google if you can, It only makes you worry too much. Leave it to your Dr to find out whats wrong. Big hugs though, its so hard to sit arround and wait. Wow you guys had a lot of cats! I can't even keep up with this one.

    Dory- Congratulations on the casting off and on! I could never get it right. I hope your pay back isn't too bad I agree about cats using us for heaters, that and to be fed! I read somewhere that 'Dogs have masters and Cats have servants' i think this is quiet true!

    ChrisW- Sorry you got a BFN, fingerscrossed for you tomorrow.

    oh nearly forgot the new furballs name is Jasper. Hope you all have a wonderful day today.
