oh no Saffy thats awful ! so frustrating and upsetting if you have missed it, when will you get the blood test result ? have you felt any ovulation pain ? (do you usually). fingers crossed it shows it hasn't happened yet for you
thanks hun, I forgot to say my UTI is better thanks, got ABs that night and it felt better by the morning- luckily!!
Haven't felt any O pain ( used to but don't much anymore since starting ivf), had ewcm on sunday but nothing before or since, don't know wtf is going on I think my body has lost the plot since my chem preg.
Hope oyu catch your egg!
Saffy - If you only had light lines that's not positive for O were you testing every day? What cd are you on? I really really hope you have not missed it sweetie
Minniemouse - How did you go on the clomid, any side effects? I hope there is a great eggie lining up for you.
Loops - Yay for IVF in September but I so hope you can get another natural BFP and a sticky one before then.
Crafty - How you going babe?
AFM - Sorry I have not been in lately my cold is nearly gone but I have been flat out with my new job and trying to see my private clients as well. I am getting a scan on monday to check if I'm heading towards O. I have been having O pain so I'm hopeful. I'll be starting my OPK's tomorrow to make sure I don't miss it. I have been keeping in contact with donor daddy to try and keep him calm about the whole thing I guess I'm still a but scared he'll find it too overwhelming and pull out, I'll feel easier about it after our first cycle (let hope we don't need more.)
Huge hugs Saffy, I am so sorry darl. This journey we are all on is very cruel at times. Sending lots of cyber hugs darl.
Minnie~ Haven't heard from you in awhile hope things are going along nicely for you and you are going to O early again this cycle. I have everything crossed for you that this is your lucky cycle darl, good luck.
Sunbeam~ Hope your cold leaves you soon darl, mine has been hanging on now for about a month and I just can't seem to get rid of the rotten thing. Good lick with your scan on Monday hope everythiing goes well for you there, FX.
Crafty~ How are you going? Hope all is cruising along nicely for you darl. Thinking of you.
AFM~ Well going by my last cycle AF is due to come today, which if she does that is twice since my last MC that I have had an LP of 9 days before my last MC it was only 5-8days. My appointment is now only 6 days away and starting to feel very scared now of what I am committing myself to as I really don't know if I could handle yet another MC any time soon as if it wasn't for my very good friend Minnie I would not of got through the whole thing at all last time. I couldn't even get myself to come on here to talk about my problems I was having at the time which contained a whole lot more than the MC, OUTLAWS who needs them IYKWIM. Anyhoo Pete is coming to my appointment with me and I am praying like crazy that this time there will be light at the end of the tunnel. I have a million questions to ask my DR and I am hoping that he aint like the last one I had and push me out the door without listening to a word I had said.
Saffy - How totally unfair, I can't believe the s#@t we have to go through in here sometimes! After that huge long cycle with no AF you now O early WTF! Hugest hugs babe I hope AF hurries and you can get started again, sounds like they need to be doing bt more often so they know what is going on.
Clairesmummy - I really hope this FS is the bomb and can get to the bottom of the issue. I can totally understand you not wanting to do anything that might end in another MC I think we can all relate to that. Lets hope that there are some clear answers.
Graphic Details Ladies sorry. Need Advice before Thursday please.
Sunbeam~ Thanks darl, I am really hoping he will be great also. I posted a thread in another part of BB asking if anybody knew of anything about my new OB/GYN but I have had zero replies so I guess nobody knows anything about him or maybe he is not worth talking about, I don't really know. Guess I will find out Thursday morning though at my appointment.
Minnie~ How are you going darl? Any signs you may be going to O early again this cycle? Hope you and DH are ready to get your BDing boots on..... Good Luck darl.
AFM~ First of all I am so sorry if this is gut churning for any of you but I really have a few questions I would like answered by ladies in the know, who is not me, lol. Well AF arrived for me yesterday which gave me a 10LP this cycle much to my shock I haven;t had an LP that long for many many years. But my question is that I would like help with is when AF arrives she is always very clotty, not big huge clots but clots she never seems to be just bleeding for me like it was before having DD nearly 6 years ago. And is always pretty dark in colour as well. Does this mean anything or is it just normal for some women to have clotty blood with AF?????
Thank you in advance to anybody who can answer this for me.

CONTAINS TMI- DON"T READ IF YOU ARE EATING TEA
HI Claresmummy,
my acupuncturist doesn't like clots in AF but I'm not sure why. I get them too occassionally. Sorry to ask this question but did you have a D&C after your miscarriage in Feb? Only asking cos whenever i have had a D&C, my AF has been much more 'clotty' than usual for a good few months. After I do a lot of acupuncture , my AF is just bright red blood and no clots, which apparently is good, but usually it reverts back to darker red and clots if no acupuncture. I'm not sure if it actually is good to have no clots, it muight just be in Eastern medicine/ acupuncture terms.
Sorry you can't get any good news about your new OB/Gyn, but give him/her a chance, and hopefully they will be on your side!
Hi everyone else, I am back on track after a night out on the booze last night, I guess I'm in the tww now as we had dtd around when i apparently o'd but won't hold my breath on that one lol, babydust to all xx
Saffy~ Must of been a night for it last night, DF and I did the same thing, we had an awesome night and it was so great to let our hair down and forget our troubles. All 3 of my MC have been natural never needed a D&C for any of them thank goodness. I have some bright red blood but not alot it's mostly always darker and clotty and sorry if this makes you feel violently ill but it also seems to always look kinda like slimey a little like EWCM as well. Maybe a good question to ask the Ob as well hey.
Hi all saffy so sorry your cycle has been a let down lets hope AF hurrys along and you get back into next months cycle, will they check for O early next time ?
sunbeam fx for you and your new donor guess you'll be moving out of here real soon !!! ( such a young donor has to be good )
clairesmum over the years my AF has had clots and sometimes nothing just red and bright and other times dark dark almost black and I have got BFPs before so didn't seem to make a difference to me back then but now not so sure as since taking vitex the last 5 weeks my AF this time was almost none really dark brown almost black treacle and last few months has been bright red and watery so I have no idea if its the vitex making the difference or just my old body giving up on me !! sorry can't be of more help.
afm well AF arrived last weds very light and dark so not my usual so not sure whats going on but with my age could be the big M I guess ! Had a major meltdown after being so postive all last cycle and feel so hopeless with this TTC after 2yrs of knowing which day it is cycle wise DH still insists we can do it again and is proping me up and is more observant about what day it is in my cycle so I have to be happy for that I guess he is not ready to give up on me !!!
I know it must seem selfish to some that I have kids already and get so upset over TTC but the age factor for me is a biggy lets face it how many women do you know 46 and TTC not many and statistically I am a lost cause !!!
Good luck everyone and BFPS all round for JULY !!!
Hi Lovelies,
I'll pop back tomorrow for perssies just wanted to pop in and say I had my scan and lining is great 8.5mm and follie a big fat 22mm and positive okp this arvo and donor boy is on his way right now which is why I can't stop. Whoo lets hope this is the one.
Big hugs to all of you.
Saffy - how frustrating!! Life sucks. I hope AF is just around the corner and you can move on to the next successful cycle.
Sunbeam - all very exciting. Fingers crossed for you.
Crafty - Have you had a test or a scan to determine how many eggs you have left? One of the things that helped me keep going was that I was told I had a lot of eggs left. I think they determined that by the scan I had done of my ovaries. I believe I told you but my OB has patients 46, 47 and 48 that have all fallen pregnant naturally (he is the local specialist in high risk pregnancies so he ends up with all the oldies like me)
AFM - almost at 26 weeks. Getting very uncomfortable and tired and can't wait until October.
sunbeam: i hope things went well for you yesterday, sorry for being confused but are you having iui ?
crafty: sorry you are feeling down, i feel the same way at the end of a cycle, hopefully you can pick yourself up and move on with another try
saffy: good to hear you were able to have a big night out and put this cycle behind you. i hope af arrives soon (or she stays away cause you are utd naturally)
indiasmum: wow 26 weeks ! sorry to hear you are uncomfy, i hope october gets here quick for you
clairesmummy: good luck for thursday, you know i am cheering you on from the sidelines. just remember he is just a dr, a normal person and you are paying him so go get what you want !
loops: how are you going ? where are you up to ?
matthewsmum: you have been so quiet, you ok ?
afm: nothing new really, we have started the bding cause i don't want to miss it, today's opt is close to positive (although i forgot to check it until it had dried so hard to say really), im hoping its another early ovulation for me
Crafty ~ I def don't think you are selfish, some people just really love kids and also are highly deserving, you are one of those! I truly hope you get the 1 more you are after!
Clairesmummy ~ sorry I can't offer any advice on the clots, doesnt sound right after 6 yrs but also it could be common and we wouldnt know, perhaps a question for the docs. Hope you get some answers!
Sunbeam ~ best of luck
India's mum ~ wow all the best, bring on October for you!
Minnie ~ sounds like we'll be in TWW together, have fun BD'ing!
AFM ~ Like Minnie - this mornings O test was almost positive - start the fun tonight
Crafty - You are so not selfish wanting another baby, the heart wants what the heart wants and given my line of work I would rather see an awesome mum like you with 20 children than so many of the women I come into contact with that obviously couldn't give a damn about their kids but seem to pop them out endlessly. I really hope you get your chance. Your DH sounds like he is a lovely supportive guy.
India'smum - 26 weeks congratulations! I can't wait to be at that stage.
Clairesmummy - It's so hard to know with clots and stuff. I always figure there has to be some clots and that's the lining coming away. I think so long as they aren't too big its not a problem but definitely another question for the FS. I go to mine with a page of questions each time, its much easier than trying to remember all the things I want to ask him. My AF has changed from 5 days when I was younger to 2 days now no idea why all these things change so much.
Saffy - OMG that would be so excellent if you ended up UTD after what you thought was a lost cycle. I remember being convinced I'd never get preg. on the IUI when there was a count of less than one million and ta-da it worked. Some times negativity seems the best things no idea why. How many dpo's are you?
Whoo Minnie and Loops go catch those eggies All 3 of us in the TTW together heheh are our cycles synchronising?
Minne - I'm not doing IUI just home inseminations (turkey baster method basically).
AFM- I feel like I should be really happy and excited but I'm so focused on the fact that last night and tonight's samples were both only a little over 1ml each. I keep telling myself it only takes one and that its been enough for him to father 3 children already. I think the stress of having to "perform" on cue and at someone else's house kind of gave him stage fright a bit. Today's OPK was not nearly as strong as yesterday and judging by the pain I think I O'ed about 2pm this arvo. I guess there is not much point in us doing another one tomorrow night, what do you think? I might see what my temp is in the morning. Sorry for not being more upbeat I think I am also quite exhausted from working 2 jobs and having had 2 full on weekends, doing as little as possible this weekend, I need to rest.
sunbeam: i think you should be covered, they do say the egg only lasts 6-24 hours after ovulation so may not be worth doing it again tomorrow night. i wouldn't worry about the amount, as you said he is already a father so im sure it is fine ! poor man having performance anxiety, hopefully this time has done the trick and he won't need to do it again, it is funny that 3 of us are heading into the 2ww together !
loops: good luck catching the egg, i take it you are using pre seed this time ?
afm: opt line darker tonight i'd say equal to test line so i think tomorrow it will be darker and i will ovulate, can't believe it can happen so early for me ! yay to have 2ww buddies !
