Hello - just on during my respite from two rampaging little boys (DS and his cousin), have managed to coax them into bed, whether they're actually sleeping is another question but as long as they're relatively quiet and in one place I don't really mind. Phew, got my nephew again tomorrow - got to think up a plan for the 2nd day as I expect the thrill of company might have worn off by then.
I'm feeling more positive today - probably because DH and I are back into action stations - always better to feel like you're doing something, right? Although bedroom activities are a slightly risky business we discovered last night
. Our house is all polished wood floors and the bed has castor wheels...it was true to say that it wasn't just the earth moving (slowly, from one side of the room to the other
) last night.
I did a bit of looking up recurrent MC stuff here in NZ and I think now that I have a bit more information about what would happen, where etc over here, I feel a bit more prepared for whatever happens. So really, it just needs SOMETHING to happen.
Mousebacon I saw you'd given up the work responsibility - I hope that the less demanding role does help with stress levels. And that it has a good knock-on effect of getting you the pg you want.
AandR you really have a tonne on your plate at the moment. I completely agree with you on the feeling 'stalled', I really try to concentrate on everything else that has progressed in my life, but it's hard not to focus on this one area, especially when it appears that others can move through the stages with such ease. Even when I know my two great friends have had difficulties either in the past with MC or with conceiving, now that they are both pg and past the first trimester, I do feel very
that they got through and I'm stuck on this seemingly endless game of snakes and ladders.
I think part of the reason I was able to contemplate stopping trying was that my SIL spoke to me about them only having the one, and it was nice to get the perspective of someone who isn't caught into this whole thing. Everyone else I know IS either trying or pg or has had no.2, so to speak to someone who has made a decision the other way was good.
YRMOTBFP thanks for the link. I did remember that website from way back. I don't know whether DH would be up for that - I guess I'm 'lucky' in that i know that I've gotten pg from not that much sex in the past - as ever, in our household there's a fine line to be walked between me getting stressed that we have enough sex at the right time, and him getting stressed about HAVING to have sex at the right time. I feel bad that it's an issue at all, but it is, and my best chance is always to try to delay and leave longer gaps at the start and hope like crazy my body doesn't pop an egg unexpectedly early 
MummyA you have excellent taste in names - that's my DS's middle one and he is very proud that it has an X 'like a kiss mummy'. That must have been scary, I'm very pleased that it all worked out and that it has helped you to take some positive steps towards accepting the shape your future is going to be.
Freezing breathlessness is one of my big pg symptoms - it's not always an anaemia thing, for some women the increased progesterone level affects them this way. It's eases off (and then comes back when you start getting very squished).
digi big about the results of the genetic screen. In some ways, I do find that comforting to know that even with the NK cells etc it can just be the normal random stuff that goes wrong. I do know what you mean about knowing that it wasn't a healthy baby that your body didn't support. That's one of the things I find/found extremely hard in my last MC, knowing that chances are it is somehow my 'fault' that the pgs don't continue - not through deliberate actions but because my body is faulty in some important ways.
Knitter I took a look at your chart, it's a lovely strong rise - not sure we can read anything into it past that but I've everything crossed that it stays nice and high for you and that you're lucky this cycle. Which reminds me...should probably start taking temps again this cycle...have started up with CBFM this month as I seem to have ov'd a later last couple of cycles but they were both stress-filled so not sure whether it's a cycle shift or just circumstances.
I should probably go get the boys up...or at least open their door. This has been a lovely catch up though, now back to the fray!
