Jen - I am so sorry to hear your news, I know exactly how you feel right now, but time does heal. I don't think it matters when you m/c it hurts like hell whether its at 4wks, 5wks or later.

The positive to come out of it is that you can get pregnant and those embies are obviously little fighters which all bodes well for Jan. Take time out to grieve, take each day as it comes and it hurts a little less each day.

Am sending bigs hugs to you and Adam, hang in there - we will both be preggers in the new year!! :D

Hi Jen,

In answer to your question it took nearly 3 weeks for AF to arrive for me and then it took almost another week for the m/c to happen properly. It was a real waiting game especially as I didn't know when the embie had stopped growing. My placenta was still growing, the consultant showed me on the second scan that we had that it was bigger even though there was nothing in it.

I hope it happens quicker for you, acu is meant to speed the process up. I was told that if there was no sign of AF after 2 wks to phone my GP and arrange a D & C - thankfully she did show. Feel free to ask anything if it helps.

Thinking of you

Did everyone have a good w/end??

Mine was so so......Had planned to go up to Lincolnshire, but due to the bad weather and Marks panic attacks, we didnt go.... Long story....
So just been at home, went to rememberance sunday service in our village, and then decided to paint kitchen, which wasnt good, as paint didnt dry in time to get 2nd coat done, so will have to finish that 2moz now!!!

anyway, just thought i'd pop by, before i settle down in front of tv.....

Hugs to all xxxx

Hi Girls

Jen - How are you hun? Been thinking about you. Glad went on with your in-laws. Hope you and Adam are finding comfort and strength in each other and the sickness has subsided. Sorry AF is so hard but glad came so soon so you can recover. Take care x

Nikki - Well done on the weight loss last week! Great that you lost espec with AF etc. Hope you manage to get the kitchen done today. Annoying isn't it when you set your mind to something and run out of time!!

Judy - How's you? hope you and DH are healing too. Fill us in on the doner egg pilot x

Lis - How is our new mum? Hope you are enjoying every second and aren't too tired!! How is daddy? Bowled over no doubt. So happy for you both x

Kate - How's you? Any updates? Hope school is being kind to you!

Gail - Hope you and Katie are still doing well. Has the time flown? Bet it has, when do you plan on going back to work?

Lucy - A hello to you on chance you are dropping in. Let us know how you are.


As for me, I am fine. Very tired but fit and well. Been really busy with the in-laws staying with us but they have gone now so had a good tidy up yesterday (anally houseproud and an extra 2 adults in the house damages my karma!!). Had a bit of a sort/clear out too to make such much needed room for when junior appears. Feel like I am nesting early! At the midwife on Friday to have bump measured again. Hope I have slowed down a bit from last time as measuring too big for my term. Not necessarily an indication of a big baby tho...

On countdown to finishing work (5 weeks to go) and everything is racing ahead so quick!!!

Hows your plans coming for Crimbo? Can't believe mid Nov already and SO COLD today!!!! Take care all xxxxxx

Hi girls,

Just got back from a weekend trip to Palm Springs with sister, mom, and some girl friends. I didn't feel like going after the BFN, but as it was a planned trip, I didn't want to flake out last minute. Now I am glad I went, the weather was great, did a lot of shopping (why does a new purse rarely fails to cheer you up? :)), and rode the aerial tram up the mountains.

Jen - So glad to hear from you. It's great that your in-laws are so supportive. I find it so helpful to talk to family and friends about this. And thanks for the info on the other thread. I have a ton of questions on donor egg selection etc. I'll be sure to post there. Currently my clicnic is telling me if I go through them, there might be over 6 month wait for a donor. But they did refer me to a local agency if I need it sooner. Yes, of course i'd prefer it sooner!

Nicki - How are you feeling? How's the B&B business plan going? The pilot cycle (it's actually 2 cycles) is the test to make sure your boby responds to estrace as expected, I guess. This whole treatment is so mentally And financially exhausting.. I can only hope the outcome is good. I have to keep telling myself STAY POSITIVE. Here's my fertility background:

- 3 natural pregnancies, all miscarried, last 2 was due to trisome 16
- attempted a PGD cycle, not enough fertilized eggs for PGD, converted to IVF, BFN
- 3-4 IUI cycles, all BFN
- The reason we're going to egg donor now is even if I get pregnant with IUI, the chance of it being 'good' is not looking good. I really don't want to go through another miscarriage..

Julie - Enjoy your pregnancy! Must be fun decorating the baby room..

Hi to everyone else and have a good week.
