Hello ladies
I'm back to feeling okay again (with this amount of ups and downs I'm beginning to feel like I've got a bipolar disorder!). I've made the decision to stop thinking about the "what should have beens". They're driving me insane and making me sad. I'm trying to think of these thoughts as poison for my brain. They won't bring back the baby so I have no choice but to look forward. This will probably only last until I see another pregnant bump

but it's worth a try!
How are you all doing today? MrsBP CD15 - not too much longer to wait until you ovulate. I know you have long irregular cycles like me - are you using OPKs or waiting until this AF to really go for it?
Ece77 - I still have massive bloating too. I look like a pot bellied pig as I keep saying to my DH. I've read that it can take around 6 weeks for the bloating to go down so I still have another 3.5 weeks to go before it's back to normal. Though I suspect it might not all be bloat after the amount of comfort food and lack of physical movement I've had since the op! I'm looking forward to being able to go to the gym, long walks and the odd run again - it feels like a long time ago since I've done any of them so I bet I'll be useless for the first few!
Nina83 - I too am confused by your cycles

. Wouldn't it be great if your body could tell you what it was doing, for exampe "Nina83, don't worry, just a bit of internal adjustments going on, we are gearing up of O on xx". It would definitely take a lot of the worry away!
Lune_miel - you are so right about the positive stories on here. I've spent my morning reading through a lot of the boards that started around this time last year and can see that a lot of the ladies are in their 3rd trimester or have babies already - it definitely makes me think more positively again! how is the bleeding going - has it slowed to a stop yet?
I'm still eagerly awaiting my lining to shed so that I can get OPKing again! I had some mild cramping last night but it's hard to tell as I'm still getting pain from the op. Fingers crossed something is happening in there though! From reading other ectopic posts it seems to usually happen 4-6 weeks after the op so I still have bit of a wait. So impatient to get started TTC and getting that BFP before October!!!!
