Hey Everyone!
Sailors - Hello! So sorry for your loss. *hugs* I remember wanting my tests to turn negative which was so weird.
Pink - Wishing you a smooth and as pain free as possible labour. You must be so excited!!
Eyemom - FX'd the twinges mean something for you. One of us has to get a BFP this month!!!
TTC baby - Counting today as ovulation so I think we'll be quite close in our TWW together that will be nice!!
As for me. I have managed to fit in 4 rounds of BDing in the last 48 hours so I think I've covered my bases! Officially 1dpo tommorow as my tests faded from around 8pm last night and are faded again today
I am new to this and I just want to start off by saying it has been a joy to hear all of you guys stories.
Just a little background on me: My name is Dee Dee, I'm 28yrs old and engaged to my highschool sweetheart. So last April me and my fiance moved in together (we were long distance) and a month later I found out we were expecting aon May 7th. It happened so damn fast. We were more than excited. I had an ankling I was preg because I would wake up in a puddle of sweat, very sore breast, cramping and brown discharge. Had my OB appt on May 14th to confirm pregnancy. During the appt the OB was concerned abt the spotting and advised us that worst case it is a threatened abortion
.. well the spotting stop and the pregnancy was progressing beautifully.
Well at our 20 wk US we found out we were having a beautiful little girl. Mariah Brooklyn. But before we could get too excited we were advised I have a short cervix measuring at .8cm. Had to see a MFM doc right away. Long story short we lost our beautiful angel Sept 8th. Doctor said there was an infection from the bacteria B-strep (I believe that is the name). Now 3months later we TTC **Fingers crossed**...HOPING FOR THAT BFP!
They have gone as follows:
02.12.13 = 996
04.12.13 = 830
06.12.13 = 822
More blood tests on sunday
Keep thinking of you pink.

I would like to introduce the most perfect lady in all the land, Miss Stella Moi Shallis-Liddell
She arrived at 7.40pm on fri 6th dec it was so speedy that I had no time for an epidural.
I went to the labour ward at 4ish I was only 1cm dilated despite the dr last night saying I was 2-3 so they put a cannula in for the hormone drip, the contractions were so bad she face me some pethodone that was the one I didn't want but I agreed as it was so bad from there I was so drowsy and out if it I don't know what happened and all of a sudden I'm screaming I need to push, so with the help of gas and air I pushed and she was there at 7.40 the midwives were so surprised with how fast it went, they did shift changeover at 7.30 and at 7.40 out she popped.
She came straight onto my chest just as I wanted and she snuffled to breast feed all on her own tho we had some latching issues and I'm scared about the next feed.
She was bang on 8lb they had estimated about 10 so I got lucky tho she won't fit in the lovely super baby grow
Now I have to go get some sleep before this 3am feed that I'm going to have to wake her for.
Congrats pink!!! She's gorgeous!!!!
Hey ladies
Wanted to join since we're going for a January bfp! It's been a really tough year with 5 losses but we're going strong for our take home baby! I had a d&e on Oct 15, O'd twice in Nov, and just had another chemical a couple days ago. I knew there was a higher risk since my uterine lining was thin. I'm on CD2 and this is my first period (other than mc bleeding) since July! It's a lot lighter than I expected but hey! That's alright! Hope to get to know y'all
LeahLou, so sorry for your losses
....sooo tonight I caught myself doing something embarrassing and I felt so pitiful but I had to laugh. I was feeling myself up for any hint of breast tenderness since that's a symptom for me. I think it I were sore enough for it to mean anything I wouldn't have to grope my own chest.
Sometimes I forget i'm sitting at my desk at work and i do it right there.
I mean, now I can't....which is fine as I only ever drink once or twice a year anyways...but if ladies feel the need to indulge over the holidays I highly endorse that! How did your cheapie opk turn out? In any case, good luck! I understand feeling desperate to be pg after a miscarriage, 100%. Hoping so hard for you. It's not stupid to feel that way, no matter how long it has been. I feel it now (a year and a half later ) just like I did when I was at your stage of the game. I think most people get pg quicker though so keep on hoping. In the end though, you persevere because you have no choice but to persevere! 
But I think a woman's entitled to a special drink after something like that. Because you can so why not. But for me I'm more likely to go get a soda or eat sushi or a deli sandwich, lol. I was in rush-out-the-door mode at the time anyway, so just as well, but it is still frustrating that I missed it. On the plus side, DH also works for a hospital so his calls also come up as "Unknown," so at that hour I probably would have answered thinking it was him. So maybe I was just saved an embarrassing situation. (To be clear, I wouldn't have answered any weird way, 
just much more casually than I would have for a nurse's call.) Unusual for them so I'm sure they were just tied up, but it's still a bit frustrating. Hoping we can connect tomorrow somehow so I'm not left the whole weekend wondering what we're going to do.
