    Hugs Sam, we've had a sh.itty year too. OH's best friend killed himself, my grandad (last one) is v poorly, was bullied out of my job at the start of the year and made myself ill worrying about it, we lost our IVF baby, and now OH and I aren't even speaking.

    Roll on 2014 - can't be any worse than this!

    Big hugs to everyone having a rubbish day. Time for a few dodgy group hugs I think...

    Samtoby - I miscarried at 9 weeks and it took 4 weeks for me to get a negative on a test.....I did get told that you need the HCG to get back down to 0, but you hear of so many people getting pregnant straight after mc....Think positive. Sounds like you've had an awful year - I keep saying 2013 is not a good year for us, hoping a BFP will turn it around.

    Sam. As your baby died at 9+3, your hcg levels will have been high. As a rule of thumb, they drop by half every 2-3 days but of course this may be different as your body didn't start the process naturally and I don't know what effect surgery has on everything.

    I ovulated about 18 days after I started to bleed with the m/c, but of course my levels were much lower than yours and they had started to drop long before I started to bleed.

    It is such a !!!!!! time and the waiting is the hardest part. Knowing there is nothing you can do to speed things up really hurts. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and everyone else on the thread. Take care xxx

    Oh yay... I won the July bfp guesses... Does that mean I will get mine in august?

    Sorry not been on much... Work is crazy busy. But im now on annual leave for a week... The dreaded 30th birthday next week.., yuk!

    So no high or peak on my monitor this month.... No peak last month.. Weird brown period last month.. No red blood at all.. And very light.. So.. Who knows what's going on.. Extremely annoyed. Month 8 of TTC. I'd like a normal cycle so at least I'm in with a chance.

    So this week I will mostly be drinking wine and eating my body weight in chocolate.

    Congratulations on the 2bfps!!!!
