I'm starting to go back to the dark place I was in just after my M/C. I think it's because we BD'ed this month and I'm getting my hopes up - in real life, I know it's a long shot, but I am hoping so much for a BFP. It'll be crushing if AF turns up. I want a baby so much. I want to be pregnant again so much - there is nothing else I want in life at the moment.

:grouphug: I found every month was a reminder of what happened. Take care of yourself.

Hi All,

Sorry, been a little busy recently. Will catch up asap.

Just wanted to update you as I went to the docs yesterday, and asked him about the 'suggestive PCOS'and he said that as my periods are regular etc, all should be OK, but if we have no luck after a year, I am to go back and they will investigate PCOS as the cause first of all.

He's also now aware that I have Rhesus D negative blood, so that's on the records for future reference (in case I need another injection etc).

And, I spoke to him about me struggling with missing friends and family etc and he has referred me to a counsellor, and I've just emailed them to make an appointment. Don't get me wrong, I love it here, but nothing can replace dear friends and family and I haven't been out socialising much as have been trying to clear debt asap. Anyway, good news is, insurance covers me for 8 sessions, I just need to pay about €10 for each one I think, and hopefully, that should be enough for me to learn some coping strategies etc.

HUMONGOUS hugs for everyone who needs them!!!!

Oh, and be careful on the ice! My sister fell over on Monday and ended up in casualty as she really though she'd broke something! Luckily, she's only sprained it badly, but still hurts like h'll I'm sure.

Hugs to waitingforpost and double hugs ddebski. That's heartbreaking news No wonder you feel a bit down. It ok to feel sad sometimes.

That's a step in the right direction euronorris and great that it's almost free. Very MSE. I've always been keen to discover ways of dealing with different things. I'm really bad for letting things eat away at me when they're really not that important but I just don't know how to let them go.

With smaller things, you could try the 'rule of ten'. ie, will it matter in 10 minutes? Will it matter in 10 hours, 10 days, 10 months etc. It can help to put things in perspective and also recognise where or even IF you can do anything to change/improve something.

I find it helps me to stop worrying about the unimportant stuff.

Recently, I've been OK as I joined a Qi Kwan Do class which a) gets me out of the apartment and doing something, b) gave me the chance to meet new people and c) is good exercise, releasing those feel good endorphins. It's really helped, but I still need some help. Was nearly in tears last week. It snowed so much in my hometown and my nieces and nephews were all off school having loadsa fun in the snow for the first time in their lives and I couldn't share that with them.

Sometimes its the smaller things that really bring it home to you, but last year was quite tough too. Moving country, my Grandma died, finally faced up to my debt and started tackling it (but there were a lot of angry tears at first) and then not being able to get home for Christmas as snow was so bad. There are, of course, worse things that can happen and I have a lot to be grateful for, but that doesn't always make it easier to deal with.

Oh man, now I'm whinging and I shouldn't be. There are people dealing with far worse things right now.

Could be low progesterone?

Thanks QQ, yeah I thought that could be the problem, typical- the docs are so not going to take me seriously unless I lose more weight, anyone know of a way to up progesterone levels without seeking doctor's advice?
CD23 spotted this morning, nothing since though

Some links here for things to eat:)

TMI but i had EWCM yesterday? dont normally get anything after ov and today its creamy not sure what to think checked back over other charts as temps are still high but they dont seem to drop till after cd29 anyway so no further forward.

One can get ewcm just prior to AF, but it can also be a pg symptom.
Fingers crossed:o

CD1 for me.
I feel like utter carp as I'd really been getting my hopes up - we did everything right. I know it's only been month 2 of trying but I was kinda hoping we would be one of those couples who it just happened for without it being an issue IYKWIM!!

Even if there are it doesn't mean your feelings aren't valid.

Me too! I've been very lucky with a number of things here. I have good colleagues, good doctor, good dentist, all close to home, my commute halved etc etc.

I have a lot to be positive about.

And thank you SusanC. I am going to try and stay positive, and let out my more depressive thoughts with the counsellor, where I can do something constructive with them.

Seems my sister didn't realise about Rhesus D Negative blood, and that me and my Mum have it. So, she's going to ask the doctor about that too when she goes back for her blood tests (although her doc should know as we shared the same doc as a family for about 15 years).
