Angel - Congrats! I wish you all the best.
AFM - showed up this morning right on time. I think it's time for a break from the CTP family, although we are going to continue ttc we are going to do so with less involvement. My son is possibly coming home at the end of the week and will need 24 hour care for a few months. I'm forgoing the clomid and going to let nature take its course. I had such high hopes for this month, as I found a tiny baby hat on the way out of the hospital last week and thought surely it was a sign from God but apparently not so much. I'm feeling overwhelmed and exasperated. I wish you all the best and to those of you with your BFP's!!

Pix- sorry to hear you are feeling down. I know how overwhelming this can be. Who knows you may think you are taking a break and get that BFP next month. I know last year after seeing the RE and having every test known to man done and going through a complete remodel of our home I needed a break too, and stopped the clomid. The next thing I knew I was so busy forgot when my last period was took a test and BFP. Even though it didn't stick I think the break from constant meds, temps, tests and POAS I was completely relaxed and it happened. I know it can happen for you and I will kmfx for you and prayers for your son to have a speedy recovery!
P.S. I hope you kept the baby hat because you will need it in 2013!

Pix---i am so sorry, (((HUGS)))...I have to agree, i know it certainly helped alot that I just relaxed this cycle, not as stressed..although still a bit nervous to accept that this BFP is real...I have heard from others that when more relaxed it makes things a bit easier...I know i have been so obssessed over ttc, that this is the hardest time I have ever had getting preggers...My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family (((HUGS)))

Pix, take care of your boy, and things just may happen naturally. I'm so sorry that is happening to your son, and I hope he heals quickly and completely!
Angel, I'm so excited for you!
AFM, my first doctor's appointment is tomorrow. I still have very few symptoms. Just tender bbs on the side. No nausea, food cravings/aversions, or anything else. A slight backache today. I will be 8 weeks tomorrow. Not sure if around when AF would have come if women experience AF like symptoms or not, so I hope the backache is b/c of a strong little Junebug. Had my first pregnancy dream last night (twins!).
Good luck everyone! Many prayers for you all!

Hi Ladies, I havn't posted for a while but have been keeping up to date with whats going on.
Angel...I too see a faint line. I got a faint +ve at 11DPO then bled for a week and am now 10 weeks gone!! Be realistic but positive. Its early days for us all with BFP's but I think the relaxed BDing and charting really helped you this cycle and im so pleased for you
Pix...you have been through a total nightmare. I think you are right to take a break, concentrate on yourself and your son. TTC is so stressful and im convinced taking a few months out will do you the world of good. Thinking of you
Faith....good luck at the Docs today. My symptoms have virtually gone now and although its slightly worrying, its also a nice break. I never had any symptoms with my first two kids so try not to worry and let us know how you get on
Deyzer....we were ttc for 9 months. We would've tried IVF if it had gone on much longer. I think you have to do whatever feels right for you as id hate to have regrets further down the line
Toronto...hows the bladder issue. Sounds awful, really hope its sorted for you and hope your well
Welcome to all the newer ladies. We seem to be having a run of BFP's so I hope you are next
AFM...im 10 weeks now. Really tired but other than that my symptoms have virtually gone. I read that when the placenta takes over you start to feel better I have a scan booked for the 19th, should look more like a baby then!! I am also waiting for delivery of a doppler so I can try and hear the heartbeat whenever im feeling worried.
Wishing you all the best xx
