Hi,

Cessie, nice to 'meet' you!! I am glad you went on to have your beautiful babies!! Hmmm, drilling your ovaries sounds like Not fun. How long was your recovery? How long to fall pregnant after that?

Plucking chin hair?!?!?!?!?!?!? I wish!!!!!! I would be there for a month of Sunday's!!! Wax on Wax off, lip, jaw etc etc, full on production!!!! Must admit, no skin tags!! YET?!?!

Belinda - frustration!!!! My DH would be 6 feet under if he was here at the moment!!! How can they drive you crazy from QLD??? As a matter of fact who invented the mobile phone? DH wants his boat trailer registered so I am trying to move heaven and earth to get it done before the long weekend (i refuse to tow it, dear brother in law had volenteered) and he says to me today (after waiting for an hour at the rego office for a stupid permit to drive it!!!!!!!! Because he is lazy and let it run out of rego and now it needs a rego check!!!!!!!!!!) that why am I so worried, he doesn't care if we take it to the coast!!!! MY A@$% he doesn't!!! He would whinge the whole time, nice for some to be on holidays, while his poor sick wife works and runs around after a BOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!

Well, I feel better now, where were we??????

I must (calmly) admit that I find 'if it happens it happens' very frustrating!! What do you do??

Oh you are THAT old??? I can see old father time running down the street after you!! I am 30, it is horrible that women have to think in terms of reproductive age, men can still father in their 90's!! EWWWWW!!

How long have you had the low libido? Have you mentioned it to your practitioner? Have they tried to help? I dont think it is weird, if you are trying to have another baby, even if you are trying to let it not bother you, I think it would be in the back of your mind, could it become a little routine, not spontaneous? Hows the ovulating coming?? Fingers crossed!!

Losing the twins was really hard!! I am sad to say that I didn't really realise that I was pregnant, I went away with some friends and before I went I had thrush (that is not fun) and I had diflucan tablet to treat it, at the time I thought I wonder if I should check?? But I had checked so often and it was always negative so I thought I was being stupid, so I went away and I remember one morning my arm brushing by my breast and it being painful (again this is strange, never had sore boobs in pregnancy) and it crossed my mind again and again dismissed it, couple of days later I began to spot, then got the grossest heaviest painful bleeding, assumed it was another weird AF.

Got back and a couple of weeks later started feeling bloated, thought I was constipated, sharp little pains occasionally on my left side, promised myself I would go to doctor that week, it was on and off for a couple of weeks.

Picked up my little one from school, got shocking pain really low on my left side, and back pain, worse than child birth, a friend rushed me to hospital (DH was away with work), being a nurse I suspected by then it may have been an ectopic preg, I Googled it before I left(nurses like to diagnose themselves), heaps of morphine later, they told me I was pregnant but low hormone levels HcG, even though I sort of suspected, it shocked the hell out of me. Had the scan next day, it seemed the baby was right at the end of the tube and had ruptured out of the end of the tube and into my pelvic cavity, bit of internal bleeding, accounted for all the pain. Luckily I had conservative treatment and kept my tube.

So, they think I had twins, M/C one uterine preg and the other ectopic, as to how far I was?? They couldn't be sure, the hormone levels can't be used to determine how far you are, they guestimated between 7-10 weeks, because my last AF was months before that!!

So that is my story, I was a bit mad that I never got to get excited about being pregnant, I felt guilty for taking Diflucan but apparently that didn't do it. Most of the time I am okay, other times in those brief moments it is all still very raw, but I have always gone with what I felt and not tried to bottle it up to much, I acknowledge my 'butterflies' because if things were different they would have been my babies here. Do you know what I mean?

I dont know that PCOS was directly related to it, but why have a stupid disorder if you cant blame it for everything, I have read that it can lead to higher miscarriage rate (I think).

Well that was a VERY long reply and you must be nearly asleep now!!!!

PS Can you explain Chemical pregnancies? I think I have a rough idea. How many times have you been thru this?
