television, I am so sorry for your loss. Hope you get your sticky bean.

mailcmm - thank you for starting this thread - feels good to just talk about this for once -( haven't told people we are ttc after our loss yet)

Have any of you watched "The Great Sperm Race" on you tube? It has 6 parts and is a total of about 50 min long but I found it very interesting and informative. It explains just how that sperm makes it to the egg and the struggles to get there. After watching it, I actually feel better. It is a miracle that the egg gets fertilized at all, so now I understand that it can take some time! Ladies, just because you haven't conceived yet, it doesn't mean that anything is wrong with you. Sometimes it just takes longer. The average time it takes to conceive is 6 months and 85% of couples will conceive within a year. You only have a 20-25% chance of conceiving in any given month. If you haven't noticed yet, I am a fact and statistics kind of person, lol! Which is pretty ironic because my DS was born with a right club foot and the odds of that are 1 in 1000!

I have watched. I found it pretty interesting. I think everyone should watch it.

Same for me. I really haven't talked about the MC with anyone. No one wants to talk about it. They jsut say I'm sorry and it's natures way of saying it wasn't meant to be. If I hear that one more time I may kill someone. And I swear it will be nasty. lol

I know how you feel. I've had people say "oh, it was just a chemical". Like I wasn't really pregnant and didn't experience a loss. I don't tell anyone about it anymore for fear that they will say something like this again. Even though I had a very early loss, it was still a pregnancy to me and I grieved my loss. Sometimes people can be so insensitive.

I watched part of it, I will have to go finish it sometime. I know that the adds of conceiving each month is very low, but I guess it is hard not to worry!

Sorry people have been so insensitive to you! The best thing I ever did was join a support group. I think if people around you haven't experienced a loss they can't understand the emotions that it creates. It really helps being able to get all those feelings out and not be judged. The girls at my support group don't care that my loss was @ 7weeks, they understand the pain that I have still. That is another great thing about BnB! There are so many people here that know exactly how you feel!

This sit has been a life saver. It's great to have people to talk to.

Good afternoon everyone! :wave:
So, still same ol, same ol here.... hubby finally got over his stage fright last night (sort of)... so, at least we're on track with that. I did forget to go pick up my OPK's though...

On the flipside of that... I just had a friend message me on facebook asking about my baby and when I was due. It was quite hard having to explain all over again what had happened and then getting the obligatory "Well, you can always try again".
I've really come to hate the phrase. When everything happened, everyone I spoke to kept telling me... "Well, at least it was early", or "You can always try again"... and the worst, "Well it wasn't really a baby yet".
Those phrases just burn me! To me it was a baby, it was MY baby... I had already picked out names, I was already figuring out what I wanted for my nursery... I had dreams and hopes and was so excited for my little munchkin... so don't tell me that it wasn't a baby yet... because it was to me!!

Anyway, off my soapbox... how is everyone else doing?

People can be so mean. If you dont mind me asking wht was the names you had picked out? Mine were Olivia Grace or Ryder (no middle name yet). My Oh and I agreed we would pick out differnt names next time cause it just didnt feel right using those. I also already had my nursery theme picked. Actually my OH is up there now working on it. We have a dream and we plan to fulfill it one day.

While he is working on the room I am doing my usual Sunday activities cleaning and I am also cooking 5 pumpkin rolls to have for Thanksgiving.

We too have a nursey in motion. I know it was early but our house was hit by a tornado and we were having it renovated so instead of paying painters to paint it neutral and then us painting it we decided to plan the nursery. It's gender neutral but gorgeous. Can't wait to fill it one day. We didn't plan on any particular name. we have started a list though. Our top 2 are Ryuu for a boy or Primrose for a girl. I really like Nixie for a girl as well. We really strive for original. lol

I have two girl names picked out Lacie Marie or Lena Marie, boy names are harder, I like the name Owen or maybe Jerrek. The middle name will be John.

LMAO!!! Yeah, he's thankfully back to normal But no, it was quite depressing to have to explain everything all over again... it kind of put me in a funk for a while. Ah well... not much you can do about it I suppose?

I know how you feel! Mine wasn't gone until the morning of cd7... so, fingers crossed for you!

As for names, both me and DH have decided on Emmett for a boy and either Hailee or Zoey for a girl. Despite everything we're still sticking with those names. We also have a nursery theme picked out... Light yellow and limey green with white accents and zoo animals!

I love Sunday nights. Best night on TV. Waiting to watch Once upon a Time and Walking Dead. Berdc99 I hope you are able to watch. Tonights gonna be good. We record Dexter and Boardwalk Empire. Doubt I will make it through those to tonight. I have to work in the AM. Only 1 client so not a busy day. Actually this week will be pretty slow. Guess that good just coming off a cold. Anyway. We should all be done with AF soon. For those of us who already kicked her to the curb... Get to work. We have bfp's to post. And for all those who still have your vistor... Hang in there only another day or so. That's about it for today. I was just thinking how the TWW is gonna be hell.
