Moschops you star! This is going to be a very lucky thread, I feel it in my bones. Moschops, we will be thrilled if you hang around a bit - we don't want to lose you and we'll be needing the babydust - so stay as long as you like!
oopsanta - you have NO idea how much your news cheered me up. I don't know teatime, but I love her already.
Tania - I think your doctor was probably wrong to suggest that blocked tubes can ONLY be caused by STD; I'm sure that's not right. It is true, though, that chlamydia is a major culprit and that it is very easy to be asymptomatic (specially for women). I had it for years (at least six or seven) before it was picked up during investigations for pelvic inflammatory disease. I know it was that long because they told me I could only have got it off sex with a man and... well, it had been that long. I had no idea at all and would still have it today had I not gone on to develop PID (which thankfully did not leave scar tissue in my tubes). They do not pick it up during routine smears; they have to look specifically for it. But you shouldn't get hung up on that - it may very well not be chlamydia in your case, so don't you and your dh start looking suspiciously at each other! SO sorry you're going through this.
Colinsmommy - sorry about AF, but don't give up entirely until it moves beyond spotting.
And as for me - AF arrived today. In the end it was almost a relief when it came. This week has been such hell - I was so convinced for a few days that I was pg - I FELT so pg - and then so devastated when the symptoms went away. I didn't know whether to I had conceived and then it failed to 'take', or whether it was just my mind playing tricks - I was so, so desperate to be pg for Christmas, to get back the baby I'd lost. Now I'm feeling that it doesn't much matter what happened; the fact is I'm not pregnant and I will have to accept that I am still in deep grief for the miscarriage and liable to be a bit crazy for a while.
The positive bit is that I did ovulate and I did then menstruate at day 30, which is only slightly longer than my usual cycle, so my system seems to have settled down again very quickly.
The negative bit is that this is the fifth year running that I have promised myself, 'You'll be pregnant by Christmas'. There won't be a sixth, because I will give up at some point over the next few months. I am struggling to stay optimistic but it is feeling very hard right now .
Really hoping kizzy and moschop's babydust will hit me soon!
