Hope AF has not arrived



& hi not sure I have bumped into you yet

Hi All,

Just to provide an update, no luck this month, AF was three days late, it reared it's ugly head today, and with a vengance, all the symptoms seem to be amplified.
But to be honest i amrelieved that i now know for sure. Over the last two days there has been very tiny amount of spotting (later than normal, and only occasionly during the day when i wiped), and the delay gave me a glimmer of hope which I was hanging on to by a tiny thread that was driving me absolutely insane.

My Husband and i are going to stop charting and running it like a military operation and just leave it for when it happens it happens, it doesn't mean that I don't want a baby more than anything in the world, as does my husband, it's that the stress is killing us and actually winding us up even more which could hinder our efforts, maybe if we don't think of it as much we will have better luck, which is just so hard.

It's so sad that the one thing in the world which thousands of women for generations and generations have been doing succesfully, we have so little control over..... I know we haven't been trying as long as many other people out there, but both hubby and I are stress aholics and we need to calm it down for our health......and our future baby's.

I'll keep you updated on how things are going. And will of course be lending lots of support for everyone else.

lots of luck to all,

xxxxxxxx
