Hope she stays away for you Cloudy! These last few days of the cycle are a nightmare aren't they?! You're right tho, that a little bit of blood at af time is common when pg, so there is still lots to hope for!

Hi Cloudy I'm not giving up hope!! That temp is still above the coverline!! If that evil does decide to show her face, you just have a shiny new cycle to play with!

Hey hun, hang on in there - look at my temp for 13 DPO and I had spotting around then so don't give up yet. Hope ur temp has gone back up today and AF stays well away - good luck hun

GRRRRR. Stay away My heart sank when I saw your latest temp- what is it with folks getting extended luteal phases & then showing her face at the last minute these days? UNFAIR. Am still rooting for you, anyway.

Big to all of you for your wonderful support and positivity. It was so comforting to read your posts - both to reframe my mind when AF came (SwissMiss, Miel and SJ) and to maintain hope that it could have been a (magic, SJ, jolyn, insomnimama). You're such lovely gals. Love you all!

Alas, it was not my cycle. She came right on time, good and heavy this morning. I allowed myself to pout in bed for a few hours before getting up. I'm slowly working back to being positive and seeing this as a shiny new cycle to "play with" (thx SJ!) and to try again. SwissMiss and Miel, you reminded me what I told myself at the beginning of this cycle: that I WILL get a ... it's just a matter of when! "Baby steps" is a great analogy - reminds me that each cycle is just one step closer to my .

So, on that positive note... I'm making myself a list of positives for this cycle:

• AF is back to being heavy flow... it was medium flow at most in the last few cycles... perhaps an indication that my endometrium wasn't building up enough??
• AF came right on time so I didn't have to wait even longer to start a new cycle.
• I bought myself some more time with my wonderful TTC pals!
• I still have two more cycles (this one and the next) to try to conceive with a 29 year old egg! (I know... silly of me to try to attain such a goal, but gives me something to work towards).
• I thought I bought too many prenatals last week (they were on sale)... now I don't have to go and return the extra bottle!
• I still have 4 HPTs on hand - plenty for me to POAS for more than one cycle!
• My cycle started today - 7/7 AND it's my 7th month of TTC... 7's a lucky number, right? And THREE 7s must mean something, right?

Well, AF is taking her toll on me today... I feel absolutely drained of energy so I'm off to do some lightweight chores to keep myself busy. Hopefully I'll have enough energy to check in on all of your journals tomorrow.

and es!

Aww sorry to hear the showed up, she can be a right mare sometimes! Send her over to me once you are done with her and ready to get on with Operation Baby with 29yr Old Egg!!

I read some interesting stats earlier today (was checking for something Miel posted earlier) and those stats are....

25% pregnant Month 1
60% pregnant Month 6
80% pregnant Month 12

So you know each cycle that goes by your chances of a increase!!!!!

Enjoy your shiny new cycle hun, hopefully number 7 is your lucky number!!
