    CD13 here, and no sign of ovulation:(
    I have a bloodtest and scan tomorrow, but I'm always right re ov:(

    Sqirrels, the first FS appt is usually just talk. They'll probably schedule you for a blood test on specific dates (beginning of the cycle and CD21) and your DH a pot for SA or something like that.
    Bring a printout of your FF charts.
    Good luck:)
    codemonkey, no SSing:naughty:
    becca, glad you are better:wave:
    Birdie, no SSing:naughty: When are you going to test?:)
    Good luck with planning your Disney trip, tempting fate in this scale is bound to do the trick
    abis, glad your levels were down:o Fingers crossed the levels will be normal by 8 weeks:)
    Fannyanna, your friend is not superior just because she is pg. There's more to life than kids:o
    atton, you are not a failure (((hugs))). You will get your baby soon:o
    By the way, you changed your username:D
    lilymay, (((hugs))). Get over a death of a child? Never:mad:
    niknok, it's likely to be a pre AF spotting, but it could equally be ov spotting or breakthrough, so hang in there:o
    amus, (((hugs))) for your mc. Was it a natural mc? Mine was a missed one and had to have an ERPC op:o
    Welcome:wave: Would you like to be on the list on the first page?
    TeamLowe, I like the thought that babies try to come but not quite make it and tries again:o

    I'm glad you all think she is a !!!!!!! too. Anyway, I had a little cry and that upset DS so we had a nice cuddle.

    I agree with everyone who has said to do what you feel is right regarding pregnancy after loss. I'm sure KittenPie wouldn't mind me using her as an example; I think she said that 6 weeks after she lost her boys she was pregnant again so for her ASAP was best. OH and I started trying immediately too after DD. Yet I know another woman who lost her baby at 39 weeks and now, 5 years later, still can't face TTC again. It's an entirely personal thing and nothing is right or wrong. For me, having DS so soon after DD didn't replace her, but it did help to heal the massive gaping wound her death left.

    Anyway, Niknok - The red sounds like the start of AF maybe? I have never had any blood before AF, but i know others on here have.

    Hugs to everyone who feels as poo as I do. I'm going to put the tennis on to chear myself up xx

    Hi,

    Yes thanks you can stick me on if you dont mind!

    A natural mc is when baby comes out on its own without any medical intervention. I went for a scan on Tues they confirmed my baby had grown to 8 weeks (I was supposed to be 9 weeks) but there was no heartbeat.

    I was due to go in for medical management today but went to the EPU yesterday to have some bloods done and sign some forms and it happened there and then. Was quite relieved as I just wanted it over with. :(

    Sending out all my best wishes to the ladies TTC! xx

    Does that mean the pregnancy hormone? :o

    I have to go back on Thurs for a scan to make sure theres nothing left (I dont think there is as the lady said everything had come away) so I think they might do my bloods to check.

    I think it has gone down a lot as all my pregnancy symptoms have completely dissappeared and boobs have gone back completely/no soreness.

    ...took the plunge and bought the pro fertility friend, mainly for jinxing :D
    fyi the 'deep discount' on the fb page is $24.95 for a year. which i thought was a bargain. even though i've no real idea what the difference between that and the free on is, apart from the dpo count which i liked lol x x

    Lilymay - big hugs for you - what a horrid thing for yout "friend" to say :mad: I'm angry for you. I know some people don't know what to say when you have experienced a loss, and some can avoid you - but to be deliberately nasty :huh: Its just awful. Talk about your daughter as much as you would like to. We are all hear to listen.

    Teamlowe - Thanks for my wagging finger - I think I need one at the mo! I try not to think about it too much, but its just so constant at the minute. Hopefully i will be able to chill out about it all soon. As for the FF VIP thing,I know you can add loads of symptoms and stuff - tender breasts etc on the VIP version. I don't think that will help with the old SS'ing tho :rotfl: I've never heard the rainbow baby thing either in that way. I've heard that your babies spirit is the same one and just keeps trying to come back in a body thats strong enough for it - which I guess is the same kind of thing, but rainbow baby sounds so much more, hmmm, i don't know - peaceful maybe? I miss my baby so much - I hope that it finds me again :cry:

    Amus - As others have said, just take your time on your journey and try when you are ready. I'm forced into waiting after my miscarriage as there were complciations. I would have been very eager to start trying straight away under normal circumstances. In a way, its given me more chance to grieve for what I have lost and re-group if you know what I mean. I have had chance to have a few drinks, connect with DH again, enjoy the freedom a little. I am more than ready mentally now to TTC again, but am still not allowed to TTC again for now :o I guess it will be a wierd feeling for me when I am given the all clear to try again.

    Speaking of which - Teamlowe - did you sort out your counselling privately? Sometimes I feel like I could do with some outside help. I do ok for so long, and my PMA is good mostly, but when I do have down moments - I really seem to struggle, and even tiny things seem to become huge obstacles. I can speak to the molar nurse whenever I want to, but I don't know if theres anything else she can really help me with. :o

    Fannyanna - Hugs to you as well. You are not a failure at all, nor are you nothing. Its so hard waiting for our forever babies sometimes. I hope you manage ok with your visit to your friend tomorrow. I'm not as brave as you. I am distancing myself from all bumps and babies where possible :o

    Lemonmelon - I understand the cheese thing, lol!! I'm like Joey off of friends - I don't share food :p Especially when I have saved things specially. I once cried when I dropped the last part of my tuna sandwich. I was eating it in the car and the filling was squidging to one side - so I deliberately forced myself to wait until I was home even tho I was hungry. And then held that packet the wrong way whilst walking across the drive and it fell and splatted everywhere. :rotfl: And when I say I cried - I didn't just discreetly sob - I bawled my eyes out like a 2 year old would who'd dropped their sweets :o:rotfl: I wondered what I would do with the facebook thing with regards scan pictures and updates etc. I don't think I would want to not put anything on there, but I do think I would be much more respectful of other peoples feelings knowing how hard it can be.

    Am well jel of you ladies going to Disney :o I've been to Disneyland Paris 3 times now and loved it every single time. I would go back there every year if DH would allow it :rotfl: Would LOVE to go to Disneyworld. One day maybe :happyhear

    There has been some really bad storms and flash flooding in my town today. A couple of buildings have been struck by lightning, and one was on fire for quite a while. Quite a few houses / gardens are flooded. We're ok where we are - altho I did get a little wet cycling home on my bike :p I picked DD up from school and took her to her dads to save him getting wet seeing as I was already soaked. Was nice to see DD for a few minutes as well :cool:
    :love: Married my lobster in July 2011 :love:

    TTC # 2 since Oct 2011 - good things come to those who wait :o

    :dance: 2013 is going to be our lucky year :dance:

    abis with regards to facebook, what we did last time is opened a group where the scan pictures and updates went - any friend could join. Friends who wanted to hear about it could and those who didn't weren't subjected to our constant baby talk.

    This time we still haven't officially announced it although the news is now beginning to spread.

    Abis it was actually through the EPU but I guess it depends on if they have any funding for that, as I think theirs is shared with the assisted conception unit which is on the same ward x
