    Thanks for the information.
    I was a bit shocked that my multi vit that im currently taking only has 2.0mg of vit b6...... i really expected more.......
    wheres the place to get a vitb6 supplement, is it stocked in boots do you think? Ive got a gift card with some money left on it.... so thought i might use it on something worthwhile for my babymaking....

    from what i read twinklie its too short a time from the fertilized egg reaching your uterus and when the uterine lining starts to break down, so its got nothing to attach to.....

    that was my theory on it anyway....

    Pretty similar to be honest, bleeding seems to have almost stopped so physically ok, head is a mess tho!HPT was -ve today as well:cry:

    Onwards and upwards I suppose. We've pretty much decided to just keep trying straight away - I don't know why, but after trying so hard using birth control feels kind of wrong, so we'll see. Dreading going back to work though.My manager is being lovely, even phoned on his day off to see how I was, but no one else knows. I keep thinking I'm fine, then I'll randomly start crying even though I'm not thinking about it.

    Although I went to Asda earlier, and there was one of the absolutely awful stereotypical chav mums yelling and screaming and swearing at her brood, heavily pregnant, who walked out of the shop and immediately lit up a fag. It just seemed so unfair.

    Hi everyone,
    No sign of AF yet! Really don't know what#s up with my body at the moment. It;s been 6 months since I came off the pill and I really thought I had gone back to normal my last few cycles, but now I don't know. Felt really ill last night, sick and headachy - got convinced that there was something wrong with my tests and I really was pregnant. Even went as far as to buy another, different test today, but guess what? Still negative. Oh well, the wait goes on....
    Hugs to all who need it.
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)

    Ah Scotsgirl I so know where you're coming from on that front. We live near peterborough and whenever we go there shopping the place is full of teenagers with babies and are pregnant again smoking away. Sometimes life can be so unfair.
    Your head is bound to be a bit all over the place, it's very early days and you'll be a mass of hormones making things worse. Hugs to you and very brave to get straight back there trying. Hopefully you'll get a BFP soon and a sticky bean. And just think when you have your much longed for baby you will love him or her like nothing else and he/she will only be there because of the mc.I find that a very sobering thought. My mum had a mc after me and we all sometimes wonder what would have been if she hadn't, for sure my brother would not be here. It's very strange how things work out but maybe it's life's way of giving us the very best!

    We started trying straight away after the last mc too, and I had one cycle before I got my positive, apparently it's easier to get pregnant in the 3 months following an mc. I think we will probably get straight back into again too, but I don't want to get too caught up in it and start obsessing about it! I've not bled at all so it looks like I'll be going for the D&C again, though I'm not giving up hope that next week won't show something positive..

    Ah Catw0man, I bet next week can't come soon enough for you in some ways. I hope it can turn round and be positive for you. We know only too well on here how things can turn round completely as in Kencos case. Here's hoping that will happen for you as well.

    Yes...I am awake...and confused...although the two have nowt to do with one another. Our new house is in a close with a wood behind us and at 3am every sunday morning, a church service is held in the wood. A very loud, very evangelical service...and it continues to about 9am. Back home we had a denomination known as "the zionists" - President Mandela was a zionist. They would hold services wherever they could find an empty space big enough to accomodate the service - even at roadside. At easter they would all travel by bus to a place called Pietersburg (now known as Polokwane), where they would have a convention attended by millions of worshipers - the people in the wood remind me of the zionists. Only difference is that Africa is a land full of vast open spaces so noise could be made at anytime without disturbing anyone. I dont mind it so much, because it does brimg me memories of home, but it makes me sad for DF. Even though he was raised in South Africa, they were city people, and didn't see as much of the rural country as I did growing up. Couple that with the fact that he has always been against the principles of church of any kind, saying they take away from a real relationship with God - he is not a happy camper. He came downstairs with his fists and jaw clenched at 4.30 (he is working today too) saying if it were him playing Queen at that volume, he would be told he was a hooligan and slapped with an ASBO. I dont know what to say to him :confused:
    And then for my confused...my cbfm said that I was at peak and gave me an egg for two days last week but this morning I woke up with sticky cm :confused: Could cbfm have been wrong and should I pop in and get an opk for the next few days? I used to get them at savers and have to pass by there today...we bought a shovel at Wilkensons yesterday, brought it home, dug one bed with it and it snapped right in half :rotfl:I think I should take it back ;)
    Catwoman holding thumbs and saying prayers for you hun, I'm rooting for Bec's version of events :D
    Scotsgirl you're doing very well hun, dont feel bad about the random tears-I still feel like it very often and I had my mc on mothers day this year (I still cant remember...is that March or May? I think the dates here are different than in South Africa because I always get two lots of wishes)
    Twinklie Catwoman is right, the egg doesn't have time to implant itself, my research has told me that 18 days is an optimal lp-they say that it is in fact not the lmp that determines cd1, but rather ovulation. And that its more nessacary to establish a lp length in order to predict cd1. I still havent figured out how the body knows when to start a period if you've not ov'd but can only imagine it has to do with the lining losing its health and so the body assumes it would not be helpful to an egg even if one were to be produced later.

    I think I might take DF back up to bed now ;) you dont think the praise and worship will put him off do you :D

    Morning polkadot

    sorry to hear about all the noise - that must be a nightmare with your df having to get up for work!! how often does it happen?

    as for your cbfm and ewcm - i have had two lots of ewcm and my opk hasn't shown a surge yet so i'm sure your cbfm is working fine, i just think that cm can be un predictable maybe (this is what i'm hoping anyway!!). last month i had a + opk on cd 10. i'm on CD13 now and although the line seems to be getting darker, no surge as yet - this is confusing me so can anyone offer some advice?

    Also for those talking about vitamin B6 - my Tesco supplements contain 10mg

    ;)
