Yeay Nina 4 days until test day!!! The first one of us to get to testing stage. I'm so excited and have everything crossed for you.
Mrs BroodyPants you have to let us know how your temps go tomoorow. It will be a huge relief to find out you've ovulated - your body getting back to normal!
Cmc - ectopics certainly are scary. The more I think about it the more scary it seems. I had no idea until it ruptured and due to internal bleeding lost quite a lot of blood ( 2 pint blood transfusion). We had initially planned to go on holiday immediately after the 12 week scan but delayed it due to a big project I was on for work. We had planned to be in Yosemite National Park to do some walking. When it did rupture I went from feeling absolutely fine to being in such bad pain I was barely conscious in less than 5 minutes and we only live a 10 minute drive to a&e. I dread to think what would have happened if I'd been in the middle of a walk! The surgeon kept telling me how lucky I should feel. It certainly doesn't feel like it at times but when I put down what happened in words I realise he's right. I'm still alive and I still have all my friends, family and most importantly my dh. I realise that despite the dreadful reason we are all on these boards, most of us are very lucky to have the lives we live. There are so many people facing worse things. Hopefully in a year's time we will all be expecting or already have our rainbows and we will look back sadly but our pain will ease. Sorry - emotional outburst now over!!!
Sarah - stick with the temps. The more you do it the easier it gets. It really does become the first thing your brain thinks to do when it wakes up! You'll be amazed how fast you can fall asleep afterwards once you get used to it!
Having said that, I've not taken mine for the past couple of days ( I'm on holiday so got better things on my mind!) but plan to take it tomorrow just to confirm I've not ovulated. Still no sign of AF -grrrr! It's our 2 year anniversary tomorrow. I should be 19 weeks pregnant and in Yosemite/ California for 2 weeks but instead I've still got a huge bloated stomach but no baby. Not quite what we'd planned so I know it will be sad but will try to enjoy it.
Susan - I hope handing in your notice felt good - a new leaf and new luck!!
