so, long story short - i work for my father at his manufacturing company, my uncle does too. we were all having lunch & he got a phone call that his daughter (my cousin) is in the hospital in labor. I knew it was coming because she is due next week. I could tell by the look on his face exactly what the phone call was about & i could tell he was hesitant about telling me (he knows about my m/c). I am super happy for my cousin this is her 2nd baby & the gender is a surprise! I have been over the entire ordeal & havnt cried in weeks, but that sent my great mood into the sh!tter! Not to mention my other 2 cousins just had their babies 5 weeks ago 2 days apart. & today is a month since we found out there was no baby in the sac. blah

I guess ill grab my bitter shirt & head to the party! thanks for listening ladies

The secret's out on OPK's - go to amazon and buy wondfos. I got like 40 of them and 10 HPT's for I think like $15. They don't come with directions but are easy to use.

I, too, had a blighted ovum and know how you feel. One of my best friends called me on the day of my D&C to tell me she was preggo "by accident" as they weren't planning on another baby for at least another year (she had just had a baby three months prior). I was happy for her... but I'll never forget the way I felt after I hung up the phone... my DH had to chase me up the stairs. It's a bittersweet feeling for sure.
Lots of hugs!
(((HUGS))) I think we all know how you feel.
My co-worker has PCOS and has been TTC for about a year now after their loss. Well, they recently decided to take a long break after she had a really bad reaction to some fertility drugs
In the midst of all of this going on, she and I got really close because we had both experienced losses. She asked me yesterday if DH and I had were TTC yet and I told her yes... well today she brought in a bag stuffed full of early HPT's and OPK's that she gets for free from her fertility clinic. She's been absolutely great and just saved us a ton! She also told me that amazon.com usually has tests online for much cheaper and you can usually get more in a box that way.
