    Lynn, I am sorry my love that ovulation isn't going to happen this cycle :hugs:. However, you have a plan! Do you love a plan? I am a plans girl so plans always make me feel "safe"!
    Injecting every day isn't a hoot but it really isn't that bad. I had ten days of injections last month when I was pregnant and truly it's all over in a flash. I will be on FSH next month also if I don't have a few follies on the increased doseage of clomid. FSH gives an increased chance of pregnancy for many women without the effects of the endometrium that the clomid has. You are going to get that baby Lynn. It's there just waiting for the right time. :hugs: What a great friend you are to go with Spring for a Lil Spring sighting!

    Spring: So glad my love that the u/s went so well and Lil Spring is doing everything he /she should. I understand at keeping the sex a secret. You know about names... I told my DH that if I had another son I would like to call him Saul. Saul means long awaited one. My husband has an issue with the name due to an association so it's not going to happen here. I am one that likes a name to have a meaning... I thought I'd share...

    [Klee: I hope you are okay this evening... :hugs: We are all here for you as you go through this time...

    [Jo: Have you thought of using opk's or temping? That will help to give you an idea of what your body is up to. I found opk's took a few cycles to get right but after that I have found them a fabulous tool. I hope you get that positive soon. Remember it can take a good six months for your body to return to optimal fertility after birthing. Sending you lots of love...
    Mel, Chelle, Bailey - I hope you had a lovely day...

    I have been making hot crossed buns today (among other things!)- yummo I made a batch that disappeared in no time and batches 2 and 3 are on there way. I had better go it's bath time here!
    *See* you all tomorrow...

    Flowerchild, we must be on the same wave length. I have spent most of the afternoon searching for a name.

    It is really important to me that the name honours Harrison. I am trying to find a name which means little brother/sister or kindred but I am not having any luck. Saul is a gorgeous name and one day I know that you and DH will have a chance to name your child that if you so choose.

    I am about to post a thread for a baby boy/girl name with the meanings I want so lets see how I go.

    Thanks Deb. I do love a plan. It is what gets me out of bed each day and a reason to keep going. A plan to me is a positive step and my FS is positive that this next plan will get me to where I want to be. I think the hardest thing for me is accepting help. Help from meds. I never ever thought that my body would fail me and that I would need intervention. I have struggled for 3 years to hold an earth baby in my arms and I feel like I am running out of energy. I don't know if it is because I am also grieving and this takes away so much energy as I feel numb and empty. I just keep thinking how cruel and unfair life is that I was dealt 2 blows - fertility problems and a stillborn. I just feel like everyone around (excluding BB) is falling pg and having healthy babies. How can I be happy for other people when I can't even be happy with myself. I cry every day and I find it hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am not the same person I was 4 months and I don't think I ever can be. I feel like people around me don't understand how I am feeling and I can't even write what I am feeling because I don't know how to write it. I want to be that happy and positive person I once was but I just can't find her anymore.

    Hello everyone, you guys have been talking alot!!

    Spring - C'mon, give us a hint, you know you want to. I know a girl who called her second son Brody and apparently that means brother in Celtic or something. It is great to hear that Springlet is doing well, but that sucks that you had to tell them your story all over again.

    Mel - So sorry to hear that AF turned up. Also about the swimmers. But at least you have a reason now, and that gives you something to work towards and Flowerchild said, there are vitamins that DH can take to help the little guys. But you guys have the proof that he can father children, so I guess it comes down to lots more DTD and then waiting. I hope the wait is not too much longer for you. That's so exciting that you are going to get yourself into lot's of debt and build your house. I would love to build a new house on our block, but our mortgage is huuuuuge (for a ****ty little 2-bedder) just because we live in Sydney!! So that rules out a new house for me.

    Lynn - So sorry to hear that you won't O this month. But, at least the FS has a plan for you. Even if you have to inject yourself, I am sure in a little while from now when you are holding your miracle in your arms, you won't care about how you had to get him or
    her. Oh, yep, I will send you a copy of that article, can you email me your address?

    Klee - I am so sorry that your results are making you feel so mixed. I was told my daughter had passed a day or two before I noticed but I thought I could feel her. As Spring said, if you go back through our post's you will see that each one of us has blamed ourselves or felt guilt at one stage or another.

    JLK - If you can't have a whinge here, where can you? I can't give you any advice on how ovulating etc works, as I can't work my own out, but maybe try the OPK's as some of the others have suggested. I don't think that they worked for me, but I could have been doing them at the wrong times, I have no idea.

    Flowerchild - Can I come and stay at your house? It always seems to full of fun and adventure Barbies, Hot crossed buns, chickens, it just sounds fun.

    Nat - How are your plans going with Europe? I meant to say the other day, if you need any help, advice or quotes let me know. I am away from this week, but I will be back in the office in a couple of weeks so I can give you my email if you need anything.

    Tommysmum - Did you get AF yet? How was today, sorry I didn't come, the monster was outta control this morning. I think he's really missing his dad - and he's making me pay. He told me today that he is going to drive the plane to Baaaarly on saturday, lol, and he would probably be a better pilot than the current Garuda ones...oh that is terrible.

    Hi to everyone else too.


    Well, thanks to everyone for the anti-AF vibes. I hope you are all right, but I doubt it. To answer someones question, I didn't test for ovulation with a OPK, I just guessed by CM, but it is back to normal today, so I have no idea what on earth is going on. I guess I will just wait til I am able to test. When do you guys think would be the best time to do a HPT? AF is due on monday. I know we said this before, but it really does seem that wherever you go, everyone is either pushing around a newborn or is about to pop one out huh? It suck's. It didn't used to bother me, but that was when I thought I would be UTD by now. Oh well.
