fingers crossed for you porscha, hope you get preggers first go.
I think you have a good way of dealing with it, as hard as it is it must not have been the right time for you. Next time will be a keeper :)

Hi everyone
I've been away for a few days and feel like a lot has happened. I know I am on the other side of the world from you all but I really felt for you Porshe. I know exactly how you are feeling. I felt the same by thinking if there was something wrong it was better happening sooner rather than later. After waiting so long for a positive, it just doesn't seem fair. My thoughts are with you.We did start trying straight away after mine but im not sure if I was ready for it.
AFM after 3 rounds of clomid - my progesterone results this month came back at 5 so I obviously didn't ovulate. Very disappointed after it was 42 last month with a 29 day cycle. This month I am still on day 32 with no signs of a period. I cant wait till I see the FS in June. His next plan is to give me more Clomid with regular 2 day scans to see if the 'follicles' are developing. Does that seem normal for all you Australian girls - or do the docs do it differently down your way? Obviously my treatment is on the NHS and I am very aware that yours is a different approach.
I am hoping that next month comes sooner. It's hard to keep up the pretence that I am coping fine!!!
Hope you are all well.
And it was very cold in Spain!!!

Porsche im so sorry to hear that, You are truely an inspiration to all of us your positive attitude will get you thru. That perfect little one is still there waiting for you
Big hugs..
Hi Ladies
Thanks for your thoughts. I'm feeling better today. I tear up every now and then but it will all be ok.
On another note I had the hospital give me an apology today. While i was in recovery after my D&C the nurse who was looking after me had a conversation with the other staff members about her 10 week pregnancy and her dramas with M/S cloths starting to get tight etc... I guess the conversation was for like 2-5 minutes but it felt like hours. I mean I was lying there after having my 10 week 4 day bub sucked out of me and i had to hear that. I mean gee a bit of diplomacy wouldn't have gone astray. She knew what I was there for. And then she popped her head in and asked if I was in pain as if nothing had happened. Needless to say I really had to struggle to keep it together. The curtains aren't exactly sound proof and I'm not deaf.
So while i was sitting in the area they give you something to eat they have a customer satisfaction form for you to fill out. So I suggested that the staff be more sensitive to patients procedures and that seeing I had just had a D&C that I didn't need to hear about a staff members pregnancy.
So apparently all the staff have been told not to have personal conversations whilst on duty and to leave it till their breaks. They appologised and said it was very tasteless and they were very sorry I had to hear it.
Any way enough about that. I'm curious as to when I should get AF now. I think we'll wait until our 2 week appointment with FS to see what she recommends next.
How insensitive of her.
You sound like an extremely strong person. I see nothing wrong with tearing up, i say cry as much as you like :) I dont know about trying after mc so i cant offer any advice accept lots of luck to you and hubby
MASSIVE O…..M…….G……!!!!!! I seriously cannot believe some people. You poor thing Porsche. Yep I’m with Tammara, defiantly have a cry. Arrrrrhhhh reading that has just made me sooooo mad, most people just have no clue how hard it is to conceive. And LTTTC is just such a roller coaster. You have been so inspirational Porsche, I can’t believe how strong you are. That little miracle that is waiting just around the corner for you will be so lucky to have such a strong willed Mummy. You are doing so well hun!
Hi girls,
Porsche- I'm glad you wrote the feedback on that form. Otherwise it might happen all the time to other ladies in your position. Good on you! AS for TTC straight away, I did after both of my m/c's, mainly becasue I needed to throw myself into something positive. That being said, after I got AF after each m/c I fell to pieces, and I realised I really wasn't quite ready for the rollercoaster ride again. I think I knew I wasn't ready, and you will know if and when you are. If you need a break, take one, and if you don't think you do, then that's fine too. And we'll be behind you 100% what ever you decide (wont we girls?).
Clamgee- I had the scans every 2 days up to ovulation for my first 6 cycles on clomid. It was helpful to get verification as to what was happening in there (if you get my drift!) and then I started recognising my own body signs more too. If they offer it, take it. It measn you don't have to wait the whole month to find out about ovulation.
Julia- Any signs one way or the other yet?
Keli & Mez- hope you're both well, and Kel I hope your m/s is letting up.
AFM: 5 days until AF is due, I'm I'm sure she'll be here on time. BB's are no longer sore, still tired and a bit lethargic, but who isn't?! Time will tell, though. I've got a big weekend on, but I'd king of like to just curl up under my doona and hibernate!
Talk soon,
Stay well,
Bec
Porsche - So sorry you had to hear that insensitive nurse blab on & on. You have a very positive aura around you & I am in awe of you atm. I hope you recover well & GL when you decide to ttc again & of course whatever you decide, we are with you all the way :)
Claudette - Sorry I can't help out re: the scans, I only had progesterone levels checked on CD21
Bec - I hope you are wrong about AF being on her way. I am on another forum & a lady there got her BFP yesterday with NO symptoms - fingers crossed the same is for you :)
Hello to Keli , Mez & anyone lurking
AFM - Funny story..... I POAS yesterday & left it on the bench in my ensuite and my DD has taken the test but won't tell me what she did with it! I have been looking everywhere for this test but cannot find it so I POAS again this arvo but nothing. If I put the test to the light (lol) it looks like a line, but it is not coloured - more like an evap line, so I think it is just wishful thinking..... If no AF by Sunday, I will re-test. Apart from my bbies being sore & they feel heavy I have no other symptoms. Having said that, I get sore bbies when AF is on her way, so could be just that.... will know one way or another on the weekend :) (BTW I am on CD 25, so probably between 8-10 DPO)
Just a quick note to Julia, the day before I tested positive I thought I saw exactly the same thing. I too thought that I was totally imagining it but it turns out the next day I was not! I'd test again if I were you! Oooo I would be so excited it you were! GL
sorry Rhi but that is funny hahaha, i would be at the shops buying more tests.
Im so impatient i did about 6 before i got my official bfp lol
I so hope your line comes up fingers crossed for you and everyone :)
Ha Ha that made me laugh. Kids are funny aren't they?:
I had a little cry this morning and I feel better.
Porsche - I'm glad you are feeling a little better. I still cry sometimes & it's been over 12 months since my last m/c. Hugs x
Still can't find that test! Thanks for the positive thoughts Keli - I really don't want to get my hopes up after being over 12 mths from my last m/c I think I will be in serious doubt if I am pg.
Hi my name is linda,im new to the web site.I just started taking Clomid last month.Im having these weird feeling right before my period.My boobs are not hurting like they usually do.I feel a little nauses but thats usually nornal sometimes before i start my period. Any suggestion on if you think i might be pregant ,anyone else had these sythom and become pregant.I took a early preg. test it came out negative.I start my period on the 19 of april 2010. thank you !
Hi Linda and welcome to BB & this thread. I have just completed my sixth & last round of clomid and are currently in the tww. I have 'heavy' bbies - in the past my nipples (sorry of tmi) would be sore, but this time they are 'heavy', no nausea though. I did get side effects on Clomid such as insomnia, hot flushes but no nausea. I took my Clomid in the evening & this was suppose to lessen symptoms. I know nausea can be a side effect from Clomid but can indicate early pg. I am not sure when you O, so perhaps it is too early to test for pg? I did a test yesterday & it was neg but I am still hopeful & will re-test tomorrow when AF is due. Best of luck to you
Hi Linda
And welcome. I usually get tender BB's before my AF. That was one of the side effects that would confuse me when I started taking clomid but now I know it is just part f it.
Do you know if you have ovulated? That might help to know if you are testing too early or not. Has your Dr done a 21 day BT to see if you have ovulated?
I really don't have alot of information to tell you as your question is a bit vague. The signs your having can all lead to a pregnancy but then clomid does give you those side effects as well.
Hello thank you for answering my question.I did ovulate on day 18 when i usually do.Since i had my misscarriage in october of 2009 my period seem to be irregular sometime.No my doctor did not do a test on me on the 21 day. which was werid i keep reading about that.Usually i used to start on the day of my period or maybe 1 day late. I notice today i started to get bloated and my boobs still dont hurt either. I have a 28 day cycle. Last month i started my period 3days early ,I started taking the clomid last month on the 25 day 3 thru 7 of my period.I was on clomid before and got pregant with my son but never has these werid side affect before my period had period sythom but got preg..This time is different.I was on 50 mg and got pregant the first round but took it days 5-9.Which is werid my doctor said once i recive a postive to have intercourse the day after i get a +.Every other day. For 1 weeks.It so differnt now since i took it a long time ago. any suggestions! thank you.
I took the clomid start on april 25 the 3rd day of my period not the 25 days.Sorry about that.
Hi girls,
Linda- I have had nausea on clomid, right across my cycle. The only solution, unfortunately is to wait and see! There are months when I'm soooo sure I'm pregnant and I'm not, and when I was sure I wasn't I fell pregnant (m/c both unfortunatly). The waiting is unbearable I know!
Julia- Have you tested yet? I hope AF has stayed away!:noaf:
Porsche- How are you mate? I hope you're on the mend, physically and emotionally. You are very brave, I think.
Clamgee- Any change with you? How's it all going?
Mez, Keli, Tammara- Hope you are all well.
AFM: well, I POAS this morning (even though I swore I would wait till AF was due this month...who am I kidding, I never do!) and just left it on the bathroom counter, assuming it would be negative and I hate sitting there for the three minutes to see no change anyway. SO I took myself back to bed for maybe 20 mins/30mins, and I was getting up to get DS some brekky, and I thought "I'd better check it and chuck it out..." well lo and behold, the bloody thing has 2 damn lines! One is very faint, but I can see it quite clearly. Now I don't know what to think becasue I left it too long, and I don't have any more tests! AHHHH! Any advice would be welcome.
P.S. DH's response when I said "There's two lines on this thing.." He rolled over (still in bed and hung over from an engagement party last night) "S'Probly lying." I could have smacked him over the head! Although I know he's just trying not to get my hopes up after our last 2 m/c at 5 weeks. But still!:wall:
Sorry for the long post!
Bec
Hi all
I'm starting to get really attached to this site and finding myself checking it very regularly to see if there are any developments!
Linda - I feel nauseous most of my cycle!
Bec - get out and get another test! Sounds very positive tho - everyting crossed for you! Makes me feel more positive when I hear positive news!
AFM - i'm on day 35 and I think my period has arrived (what does AF stand for - think it means period but don't know the exact words!!) Very slight though and im feeling sick tonight! Boobs are no longer tender - hating my body for tricking me this month!
I'm gearing up to go back to work on Monday - been off for 2 weeks hols! Deep depression is setting in! However to ease the pain I have counted only 49 working days till my summer holidays!! Can't wait - no plans to go away though! As we're playing the baby waiting game - we're leaving booking anything to the last minute!! Hopefully we won't be going a holiday........
Can't wait to hear some positive news
Claudette
Claudette- AF stands for Aunt Flo, colloquial term for period. Thanks for the luck too!
Oooh Bec I so hope it's the positive you've been waiting for. I wouldn't be able to stand not testing again. Go out and get a FR one! It sounds very promising. My FX for you.:
Looks like i might be back here with you ladies. I had a lot of bleeding and clots today, i dont find out officially until i have an ultrasound tomorrow but it doesnt look good.
Guess me and Porcha are doing things together
Oh, Tammara, I hope it's not. GL, everything crossed for you.
Ooh Tammara No! I really hope not. I'm praying with all my might for you. :hug::hug: My heart is aching for you right now.:
Tammara, I'm so sorry that you *might* be having a m/c - I hope not. Please keep us posted & I will be thinking of you tomorrow. Hugs:
Bec - A feint positive is a positive, so you are UTD! Congratulations! You need to go out & get a test that does the word 'pregnant' so you will know for sure.
Porsche - I hope you are doing OK
AFM - Tested this morning & it is neg so I assume AF will show up later tohight/tomorrow. Am off to the OBS/GYNO to chat about the next step. Will keep you all posted. x
Hi to everyone else
Hi guys,
hope its ok if I join you in here, I'm also posting in TTC after miscarriage thread ( Hi porsche).
I'm on my 2nd month of clomid ( first was a dud though cos DH was in hopsital over my fertile days so I didn't count that one as real). Af is just about to start so seems this month is out also.
Just a question for you wise ladies- I'm thinking of taking my clomid day 3-7 instead of day 5-9, reason being I O quite early in my cycle approx CD 11-12 usually, and feel like I've already O'd by the time my clomid kicks in (I feel a bit swollen in the ovary area around CD15/16.)
I did a bit of research and it seems theres a lot of people taking at all different days, has anyone got any thoughts?
thanks ladies!:D
Hi Saffy, and welcome. There are many of us in here who are also TTC after miscarriage, and you are most welcome to join us. It's a god send having someone (or lots of someones!) to talk to about what we are going through. We all hope your stay here is short and sweet!
AFM: DId another test (had to go and buy some more!) and got another very faint line in the three minute time limit. Still very faint, but it's most definately there. I'm not posting BFP yet becasue my last two pregnancies m/c before 5 weeks, so if I make it to next Tuesday, I will post it and be excited! It's funny the things we do to protect ourselves, isn't it?
Tam, hope tomorrow brings good news and not the other. Julie- hope that AF didn't turn up!
hugs to all,
Bec

Hi Saffy:
I take mine all over the place. I know I probably shouldn't but I experiment a little. Normally I take it from CD2 - CD6 but I have taken it from CD1 - CD5.
What I found is that I don't O any earlier or any later than when I would take it normally (CD2 - CD6). I usually O around CD14, 15,16. I guess we all react to clomid differently. Some have 28 day cycles and others (like me) have 35 day cycles. We all differ.
Perhaps give your Dr a call and ask if it is ok to take it at a different CD. He/She may have a reason for you to take it on a specific day.
Bec - I'm going to be watching for your BFP announcement. A line is a line and it all sounds very promising.:D
Tammara - I'm thinking of you today. I hope it's all fine and bubs is going strong.
Linda - I'm baffled as to why your not being monitored. How do you know if you are Oing or not? Are you using OPKs (ovulation predictor kit)?
I wasn't being monitored either for the last 4 cycles as I was due to have a lap and the FS decided that I should keep going with the clomid to keep my cycles regular and then after my lap I got pregnant.
Might be different this time though. But I'm not concerned if she does monitor me as I monitor myself through BBT and OPK's. It will be different IF we move to IUI/IVF.
AFM first day back at work. Not sure how it will go. Bit nervous really.
Hi i was using the ovulation kit and got a + on the 15th day of m y cycle.Im pretty sure i felt my self ovulate on the 18 day.I can usually feel it when im ovulating. I dont know why my doctors not monitoring me.I keep reading about everyone being tested on the 21 days but my doctor just said to call in if i start my period or if im pregnant. The nurse make me a calendar from the day i started my period and when to start testing on the 10day of my cycle till i get a postive and have sex every other day after i reach a post on the ovulation kit.Thanks .:
Morning Ladies,
OMG out for a few days out so much is going on.
Firstly, Tammara, oh honey my heart just sank reading your post. I have everything crossed for you today, GL and I hope that you bubba is still sticking in there for you!
Porsche, hope the crying has helped heal your pain a little. You have been so brave. GL with whatever decision you choose to make about when to start trying again, I know it will be the right thing for you. Hope your first day back has gone ok for you.
Julia, lol, still can’t believe you can’t find the test, that is very funny. Heavy bb’s, that is the term I now use, they were always ‘sore’ before AF arrived but once PG they were heavy, not trying to get your hopes up but just having some positive thoughts for you. I’m not saying your not PG until AF arrives, fingers crossed for you!
Linda, welcome to the thread. I never had any nausea whilst on Clomid, always had sore bb’s right before AF arrived though, and then not when I was PG, GL hope this is your month. How many DPO are you? It may still be too early to test.
Bec, OMG OMG are you serious? Early on I had 2 tests that came back negative in the timeframe then changed to positive after woods, think my urine was too diluted and it was very early on. OMG so excited the next one has come back with 2 lines also, fingers crossed you get to next Tuesday, when would you be due if you do? Try not to stress about DH’s response, my DH said to me the day we found out, well we’ll just wait and see cos it could be wrong you know. Your right though he is just trying to spare your feelings I’m sure.
Clamagee, totally know what you mean about getting addicted to this site, it’s so nice to have ppl experiencing the same things you are and to know that you are not alone. Sorry to hear AF (sort of) arrived, has it properly come now? Fingers crossed for no holiday for you, IYKWIM
Welcome Saffy, this is a wonderful site I only hope that your stay is short. Not sure about changing your Clomid days, you are right plenty of ppl take it earlier than others but not sure of the reasons. I think it’s just a Dr’s preference so can’t see it doing any harm, maybe just try it for a month anyway. I found that something new was always helpful to keep me going.
AFM: all going well, today is the first day I have only thrown up once, nice for a change. Having our first scan next Friday, nothing else to report though.
Hope you are all well and coping with the rollercoaster. Very anxiously awaiting lots of BFP’s. Good luck to all, chat soon.
What do you mean by dpo? I hope its a good sign then with my boobs not hurting.I hope and pray i dont start tomarrow! Crossing my fingers,thank you for your support? everyone on this web site seems to be so nice.:
Sorry Linda, the abreviations can be quite confussing at first. I was asking how many "Days Past Ovulation" you are? Fingers crossed AF does not show!
Hi Keli
All is going ok here today. Not as scarey as I thought it would be. It helps that I'm not "friendly" with the other staff members here. So I didn't need to explain myself.
No news from Tammara yet?
How are you with M/S? Hope it's not too bad for you. Good luck for your scan Friday.
Hi Porsche,
Glad to hear it is not going too bad, yes I often wonder what would be better, people knowing or people not knowing. You are so brave. How's your body recovering?
Nope, still no news from Tammara, I'm hoping that's a good sign.
Honestly I really can't complain about the ms, it is my reminder that this is all real, it's really not too bad anyway, it's quite frequent but goes again quite quickly. Thanks, will let you know how we go next week.
Take care of yourself, chat soon!
Hello to all! Hope you enjoyed or are enjoying the weekend!
Porsche - Thinking of you today returning to work, but sounds like it has gone fairly smoothly so far. Just remember we are here if you need to vent or whatever. Hugs
Tammara - Thinking of you too. I hope you are ok. Please let us know. x
Keli - Glad to hear all is well for you.
Bec - Where is your BFP post?!!!
Saffy - Welcome! I have always taken Clomid on days 3-7 - no idea why but that is what the GYNO/OBS said to do & I now that I ovulate prior to CD 21 as I have gotten a progesterone test a few times throughout my cycle & it confirms that I am. My cycle has shortened to 28/29 days now. Prior to Clomid it was all over the place.
Linda -Fingers crossed for you. When will you do a test?
Claudette - Hello! Hope you are well.
AFM - AF showed up at some ridiculous time this morning - it was still dark..... I knew she would show up after my neg test yesterday. So I went to the GYNO this morning & he has scheduled a lap & dye study on the 25th May - this was the soonest I could get in. In the meantime he has given me another prescription for Clomid but I am going 'rouge' and not going to take it, just going to take Vitex.
Be back later to check in on Tammara.
Hugs to all
x
Hi Again:
I'm so over the bleeding. It's driving me insane. FX it settles in the next week. Then on to our last clomid cycle. I don't think I'm brave I'm just coping. I think we've all waited so long I'm just not ready to give up. I've proved to myself I can do it so we CAN do it again.
I'm stalking this site for news that Tammara is OK.
I'm glad your M/S is manageable. There is nothing worse than not coping with it. You've only got a little longer to wait and hopefully it will be gone altogether and then it will all just happen for you.
LOL we must have been posting at the same time. Bugger AF she is so not welcome. Does the Vitex keep you regular? Oh that sounds funny. I kept going with the clomid to keep my cycles regular during my lap. Who knows when she would have returned?:
Hey Julia, so sorry to hear AF arrived, that is fantastic news about the lap though, just might be what you need. Yeah I had a break from Clomid leading up to my lap, I think it really helped me to relax, and in actual fact it turns out I managed to O 2 months in a row without Clomid.
Oh Porsche, I'm so sorry you are still bleeding, that sux big time. I too hope it settles down for you soon.
Just poped in to say i have my ultrasound at 3 so no news as yet. Thanks for your wishes and thoughts
