Yeah the month you dont expect it is the month it happens.

Someone I work with was ttc for 5 years. They didn't want to have IVF so decided to adopt. About a month after they stopped trying she was pg. She still thinks its wierd 2 years later.

Well if you can you could just not test. Impossible probably, it would be for me.

i know, and if we get past 6w then that a big step, its just that the naivete(sp) has gone now. and that part of the reason i now put off testing.

You never know what can happen. You (fingers are constantly crossed for you) can go on to have a perfectly healthy pregnancy and healthy little baby.

he does, and for the most part he's great, but he's scared too and i suppose we just know that pregnancy/birth is never going to be how we've imagined it, and thats quite a hefty thing to come to terms with.

OP posts:

I honestly cant begin to imagine what you are going through.
TTC really gets hold of you though. We were meant to be waiting until ds was about 2 and he has only just turned 1.

I suppose its hard to think about anything else during the 2ww. I know it is for me and I dont have any added worries.

I'm sure your dh understands.

thank you. dh and i had a bit of a row last night because im getting down (always do in the 2ww) and i was trying to explain that Im really, really scared of getting a bfp, part of me doesnt want to know. but im also scared that we will never have another baby...

NJ, im sorry my period was all over the place after each of my mc's, keep an eye on the tummy thing though.

so, 9th live test? am quite optimistic, despite backache. im exhausted really cant keep my eyes open, and had a real need for cheese, tomato and pickle sandwiches for lunch. heres the kicker, i dont like cheese or tomato!

Sorry to hear your news NJ. At least you know what is going on now. Good luck for May .

NatalieJane · 05/04/2008 12:11

Tried to work it out but now I have no idea how long my cycles are, have had 30 days, 29 days, and now 32 days, since the MC. I guess it should be in the first week of May, then we can TTC, testing will start beginning of June I suppose. God that seems so long away!

NatalieJane · 05/04/2008 11:18

LOL Jackstini I have no idea yet, am just popping round the shop (need Galaxy, can't do period without them!) will work it out when I get back....

Jackstini · 05/04/2008 11:13

PS - Nat - what date in May will AF be due then - will have to start countdown..
