Do sometimes wonder where we are all scattered about x

Me too. I'll sometimes be in a shop or something and wonder if there's anyone from here in there. I did it a lot when we were having IVF, I'd sit in the waiting room at the hospital trying to match usernames to faces

PLMBL.... nope it was a very large hospital ! And the week wait would have been longer but I got a cancellation .... it was the longest week of my life x

Have come straight To Sun Days. A beauty place in Rugby, have been here with mate a few times. Really recommend.

Now have hot pink nails - so even if I feel glum I can look at my nails And try to be a bit more upbeat :-) xx

Before I left home earlier I nipped into bathroom and started to sing - the first time I had felt upbeat since this had happened - I stopped as soon as I realised- felt strangely guilty :-( xx

That's a lovely thing to do ttc! I planted Rhododendrons in memory of my last mc as my due date was May and they flower in May. Will have to think of something else for the twins as not much flowers in February!

Tooold I'm still amazed you had such a long wait, especially at a big hospital. I'm sorry you didn't get a more conclusive answer at the doctors either Xx

Hey Ladies

Your nails sound fab TTC39, and glad to hear you had a good day at the pub. Nothing like talking to mates who know you really well.

It is such a nice idea to do something to remember our seedlings. OH and I already had a name for our baby. I thought I might put a dedication on my PhD (if I actually manage to finish it!).

I've been back doing some work this week, going to the library is good - getting out of the house a bit. I still have really mega mood swings with times of real sadness and anger. I have stopped thinking about going back to normal and just forward to wellness. I have been getting some reflexology every week for the last three weeks. It is relaxing but I am not sure much else. But I guess that is enough atm!!!

Hugs to all xx
