Since I am new I wanted to 'intorduce myself'..... (if there was a nervous smiley i'd do it now!)
I have lurked this site for a while, along with others, sometimes stumbling on them by chance when searching for what ever answer I want to hear at the time, however you all seem to be so friendly and supportive here so I have taken the plunge in joining.
I'm Kat, I'm 26 and have been trying to conceive since Sept 2006, I have been with my fiance for 5 years now and we are planning our wedding for next year. I was on the pill, microgynon, previously for 7 years. My cycles became regular and I started using opks. I was under the impression that if I did everything 'by the book' then I would have no problems and bundle of joy would be with me in no time, I joined every site under the sun that provided hints, tips, calenders and dates and spent a fortune on various preg tests. After months of no luck I distracted my self with wedding plans and my work, I also became distracted after an abnormal smear which required loop biopsy (I spent about a month worrying about a minor op which was taking place at the beginning of march.) Jump forwards to April now and all of a sudden I had very sore boobs, which naievly I thought were because I had joined the gym, I had lost track of my cycle and dates due to irregular and expected bleeding following the loop biopsy, so thought nothing of it. I still have no idea why but it dawned on me to do a pregnacy test, I actually did 7 and got 7 BFPs- i couldn't beleive it.
Less than a week later I miscarried. I don't know how far along I was as I don't know when my 'real' period prior the mini opp was, however doc seems to have calculated 10 weeks, what I do know is what and how I felt, how I feel now and what my thoughts are. I can't tell you if I have coped with this as I honestly don't know if I have!
Ignoranlty, after this I assumed (after finding what I wanted to find on the net!) that I would become pg staright away. I didn't/haven't and that leads me to where I am now... Here!
I want to be surrounded by people who are going through, or have gone through similar emotions, feelings and situations to those I have gone through, am going through and will go through and I think this is the right place for that- I am just after a friendly ear, and someone who understands why- at a certain time each month- I am a little in consolable! I want re-assurances from those who have been there and come out 'the other side'- I have become aware that it is soooo easy to find any answer you want on the net, search hard enough and you can find anything to suit your current predicament, I don't need that- I need 'real people'!!
To be honest, I don't know if this is more (or indeed less) than other people share when joining the site and I apologise if I have have made my second ever post too long, I just figured that this ithe best way to say 'hi, this is me.....!'
