Seratec opk positive this morning. EWCM and sharp pains on my right hand side last night. So I guess I am about to ovulate.
Too late for biopsy though. I have rescheduled for next Monday.
An interesting thing I thought I'd share - I have been using Lullaby Conceptions OPKs for 10 days (including this morning). Still no positive. That's using the same FMU as I got the positives from the seratec. Not that reliable IMO.
The HPTs are still okay I think (at least they have worked for me with testing out the trigger).
N2L, that's interesting that you're getting +opk with FMU. Generally, it's advised to not use FMU because we only start to metabolise the LH into our urine after we wake. I always get my +opk quite late in the day. Are you at least getting a dark line on the LC ones, even if it's not as dark as the control?
Vic, I hope today passes as quickly as possible, with no complications.
Juniper, I always tested at around 2pm until my last transfer in May when my FS and nurses said the latest thinking was to test with FMU. So now I do! I did do one yesterday too (the first seratec which was an almost positive).
Like I said, I had pain and ewcm last night. Just checked again. EWCM seems to be gone.
eta - the second line on the cheapie tests is still pretty faint.
Waiting for EPU/O/IUI/FET or just something to happen!

Thank you girls for all your lovely words. It made me cry reading them. The day has been one from hell. Not only dealing with them takinb my baby, but I have bled and had huge clots, when I shouldnt have been bleeding at all. I ended back in emergency dept for the afternoon, writhing in pain. My ob and staff were amazing. I am currently tucked up at home on the sofa, fire roaring, with dh waiting on me. He has been amazing. We are struggling together and its hard seeing him in pain as men dont like to talk about stuff, but he has been open with me.
I miss our baby. I hate that I am no longer pg and that feb will come and go with no arrival. I hate that we now live in fear. Fear that we wont get pg again with our 2 frosties and fear if we do how we will cope. I hate that life has lost its sparkle and is no longer fun.
I know that there are so many people worse off than me, and I keep reminding myself we are both healthy and have each other, life could be a whole lot worse.
Thanks for listening girls, I will be forever grateful xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Vic - sitting here with tears in my eyes - can't imagine your pain - i hope with all my might that in time you find that sparkle in life again. But for now, vent, scream, cry, do whatever you need and know we are all here to support you however we can.
Vic what an awful day you have had, you have every right to feel everything you wrote. Losing a baby is the hardest thing, I will never say you forget it but in time it gets easier to accept. My DH always says to me that their was a reason it didn't continue and I always think of that on days when I am not coping and angry with it, although we will never know why and that still makes me angry.
If you need to talk, cry or vent about it make sure you do cause it needs to come out to help you if that's what you need to do to work through it and we are all always here for you.
I hope in time your pain eases and you can enjoy trying again with as little fear possible. I hope all of that came out right.
Sending you a huge hug and thinking if you xo
Vic, I'm sorry to hear you ended up back at the hospital later for the bleeding and pain. I didn't have clots, but I certainly did have bleeding after my d&c (for 18 days), so I'm surprised you were told you shouldn't have any. I also found that, while it was light to medium at first, almost exactly a week after the d&c I was suddenly bleeding heavily and the same again another week later. (My lap was on a Monday afternoon and both lots of heavy bleeding were Sunday nights.) I only mention it because it surprised the heck out of me. But everything else you describe, I could have written. All of those thoughts and feelings are very normal for the situation (I hope, otherwise we're both weird ).
I'm glad to hear your hubby is looking after you. I'm even more glad to hear that he is being open with you. Mine still doesn't talk about what happened, even after 6 months. We have also lost his dad since then, and he doesn't talk about that either, so I think he thinks he has to bottle everything up and "be strong". I wish he wouldn't because it makes him so angry. Talking is good.
Im not sure if I would qualify to be in here but I thought Id pop in and see because I dont entirely feel like I belong in the usual TTC threads anymore.
We've been trying for 2.5 years to have another baby. In that time Ive had 4 miscarriages (7 overall), the last of which was in May, which was very physically and emotionally traumatic. Its taken me awhile to decide whether to continue on or be happy with what we have; and to brave the uncertainty of miscarriage again, but we've decided to keep trying for a little longer now my cycle seems to be back. Unfortunately the fertility specialist up here have been absolutely no help (was previously diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome in Sydney) so we're going solo and hoping for the best. I used to be a member of this thread way back when we were TTC our first baby, and finally graduated after 2 years.
Im feeling a little lost these days. All my friends that have been TTC have gone on to either be currently pregnant or have had babies (sometimes 2 separate babies!) while Im still struggling along.
Many of the girls in this thread are doing some sort of assisted conception, but not all. Even those who are have months in between treatments when they are trying naturally. You definitely qualify.
Hope your stay is short (for all the right reasons!)
Thanks guys. Im apparently supposed to be doing clexane injections but I cant get a Dr up here to do anything for me in regards to that. My problem appears to be carrying babies rather than getting pregnant so short of a uterus transplant Im not sure ART could offer us anything, but at this stage Id do anything that could help.
Myturn - Im happy to go on the list (Im a bit slack at counting my cycles so it would be handy lol); waiting for ovulation, CD 8 today.
