    So nice the BFP keep coming !! and it is only 2nd April !! Congratulations..

    In this front nothing to add, just AF arrived, I am just confused, I had no AF in March and i am always so regular... i bet it is stress. My DH and I had a very difficult month in March, especially me with my parent;s health and only BDed once, deep down i knew i had no chances really but kept thinking yes maybe i could be lucky... and then AF was 7 days late. Can't believe it yet... your body can play such tricks..

    Oo TTC40, how can you clain acupuncture costs back? DH has private healthcare from work and Im on it, so could I do the same?

    What do you claim it under?

    Still really exp here and have looked at a few clinics now, Im going to have to travel a bit for cheaper acupuncture, but Im sooo lazzzyy

    You would need to check if it was covered on your policy. I would recommend Westfield Health to people as you can claim for various stuff - glasses, dental etc. There is also a maternity payment WHEN you give birth. There's a waiting period before you can claim on some of it but worth reading up & making a decision based on your personal circumstances.

    Hello ladies :)

    I know I'm more of a lurker than a poster these days but some of you have asked I keep you posted on how I've been getting on (for the newbies I [STRIKE]spent all my time[/STRIKE] was a regular poster on here for a year or so but took a step back after 2 mc). I had a BFP this morning :eek:. I'm in complete shock, my first pregnancy took 7 months and my second 5 so to concieve again two months after my last mc has knocked me for six :o.

    If it helps anyone this is what I've been doing.....
    OH and I have both been taking pregnacare conception since the mc. I've kept up with the acupuncture. I had a massage on ov day to keep me nice and relaxed (did this last time I concieved too and who cares if it doesn't make a difference, it's nice!). Was trying to follow SMEP but only managed to dtd day of CB digital smiley and the following day.

    Also decorated the room I'd kept "spare" for a nursery since moving in 18 months ago as decided there was not going to be a baby in there anytime soon and started to look at new cars which I now can't afford :D

    No symptoms at all, don't know if that's good or bad. Going to try and get an early scan (not unreasonable I think considering I've had two missed mc) but will pay for one if the GP won't refer me.

    Hoping it's third time lucky for me:o and I will of course stalk you guys and hope you all get your bfp's very soon.

    PS OH doesn't know yet so please don't tell anyone :rotfl:

    YAY! Congratulations - hope this is your time.

    QQ - hope today is your time too!

    Hi ladies, do you mind if I join you? DH and I have decided to start TTC #2. We were originally going to wait til DS turns 2 in November as I have this ideal of a 3 year age gap, but I'm not getting any younger (37 now) and who knows how long it will take to catch a sticky bean, so I figure better to start sooner rather than later.

    I have a Mirena coil fitted at the moment which I need to get taken out. Does anyone have any experience of these? I've not had AF for months so no idea how long it'll take to come back? The bumph I got when it was fitted says fertility should return pretty much straight away, but I guess they would say that!

    Congrats on your BFP colli, here's hoping that it's a super sticky bean.

    I'll have a proper read back now and see who's who...

    I recognise tinkwings tho - hello! :wave:

    TMI ALERT TMI ALERT

    So now on cd3

    My AF this month is bright red not had this before and seems heavier than normal.

    Is that normal???? :o

    Hoping it's a good sign. :o

    I did a craft fair on Saturday (which was also CD1 ) for my bunting and they had a lady doing acupressure massage free trials I had a free session and she said that my body was not yet ready for another child that it was still protecting me from the last loss as I hadn't grieved for that angel yet. :cry::cry::cry::cry: I cried & cried & cried.
    I think she may be right :o

    Huge Hugs to all those in need :A:A You are all amazing wondeful lady bugs :D:D

    Hi *BigBird*, welcome to the madhouse :)

    I had a Mirena fitted before I started TTC. I had it removed in mid-May last year, and got a BFP in July. I don't think I ovulated in my first month without, had two proper periods, and then got my positive result. Unfortunately it didn't stick around, but my fertility went back to 'normal' fairly quickly, with my usual 27 day cycles coming back after the first bleed.
