Happy New Year everyone! Wow, a lot of activity on here today! 

Isra- Thanks for starting the new board this month and year ;) Uggh, I hope your cold is getting better. It's not fun at all. I'm feeling a little better with my throat, but the congestion has started in. 

Simone- I'm glad that you are feeling more positive about this month. You aren't over until AF arrives. Your chart is looking good still. Mmm, your dinner sounds really yummy!

Brie- Still so sorry about Turk. You lost a member of your family and that is extrememly difficult. The bleeding doesn't sound all that normal to me. I think you should be persistent with your doctor about it cause you never actually stopped since you had Layla. The should at least make sure you don't have a retained peice of placenta. I suppose some of it could be from the Mirena. Hmmm.

Amber- Glad you are feeling a bit better and you got your US! Glad your cold is improving!

Gina- Yay! Congrats it's a boy!!! Now Olivia and Lily will have a little brother! So neat!

Haley- It's nice to hear from you! That must be really relieving to have that insurance stuff figured out. ANd congrats to your DH that got a raise. Wooo hooo! 13 weeks seems to have flown by!

Nicole- When is you next doc appt! 11 weeks and counting :)

AFM- Still fighting off this cold. Praying this Year brings wonderful things to all of us!!! When I got up this morning...wow, my breasts were so sore. Yesterday they were itchy. Hope it's for a good reason and not just the pre AF symptoms. 

Nicole - Hope you enjoy your holiday!  I was about to post on the December board, and then realized we start a January board - no one else is on (it was 5am EST, 12pm here), so why not

Brie - Yes, you have.  Maybe even for a week or more.  It's just that they've been short reprieves, instead of the complete cessation that you imagined you'd have (and should have).  It's tough, though, when it keeps being on-and-off, and it's really frustrating.  But, you need to be able to give your doctor a complete picture.  Try to backtrack and date it all.  I never had the whole color range, either.  It was red, brown/black, and maybe, maybe, maybe a lighter red/pinkish.  Nothing else.  Yes, it could be Mirena, because before that, it was regular PP bleeding.  You will feel the loss of Kasey for a long time to come, but it will gradually get less painful.  ((HUGS))

Gina - Congrats!  That is really exciting!  Did you save the ultrasound for New Year's?  I forgot... 

Simone - Sure, just give me your address!  (Actually, there are two problems: 1) location, 2) we keep kosher.  If you can solve them, let me know. ;))  I am glad to see that you are back to yourself today, and back to your high temps and symptoms.  Hopefully you will get your BFP, and it will turn out to be a double-X'er this time.  ;)  I have a feeling you are pg, just not sure of the gender yet.  You're like my MIL, just given another chance: she had five boys, but had to have a hysterectomy after the last one because of the risks to her health - #4 (DH) was induced at 34 weeks, because "we have to get this baby out before it kills you, and dont you try to have another", and #5 she did better but had to be on strict bed rest and dietary guidelines; he was induced at 36 weeks because of complications.  She's hoping for a girl from us.  Hm, interesting dream...hope it's a good sign!  Why is Amber pregnant with a girl?  Yes, your chart does look better like that, but leave it in...
