    Hi Aussiechic, I'm also an aussie and just joined. I am also (day)dreaming pink. I have ds1 nearly 3 and ds2 4months. I am 35 and DH 36. Between my sons I had a mc too, I'm sorry for your loss. We are planning to ttc in the next few months but look forward to getting inspired from the stories here. Good luck!

    Hi twobeautifulblues,
    Thanks for your message...great to hear you are trying for pink soon too! So sorry to hear about your mc. It's really tough to go through. How long did it take you to fall again after the mc?
    Are you going to sway for pink? Happy to be your buddy through the journey...

    Hi Aussiechic, we had a break for 3 months after mc although I wanted to try again ASAP. It took that long for my cycle to get back on track and I also think I needed time to grieve. The sadness used to creep up from nowhere but it did pass for me when we started trying again. I got my BFP after 2 months. I am hoping to sway pink around April 2013. It will be great having the support!
    Good luck, look forward to sharing news!

    Hi Aussiechic,
    Yes, it's really catching me by surprise sometimes - that first week was just like post-birth day 3 blues. But then sadness overwhelming me from time to time - sometimes it has felt like hormone imbalance, and sometimes about the emptiness if that makes sense. We also have the added (?) issue that many of our family were not yet aware and we have decided to keep it private due to other family circumstances. As my psychologist explained - it's a whole grief process that will flow through for weeks / months.
    We (I??) am thinking earliest March, through July but need to get thinking through the holidays about the details (which month/s will be good, what strategies). Fortunately my appetite has eased off so that might help with our pink sway.
    I'm so hoping this will be a good year for us (-:

    Hi Lollylegs,
    It's a horrible process to go through with the grief. I seem to have good days mixed with bad days....if I'm tired I tend to be tearier! If you ever want to chat I'm going through the wild emotional swings atm too. Hoping that things will look up for us soon xx I'm on the FB group now...so might try to catch you on there!
