    Bec - Oh my god, sounds like things are full on for you at the moment, sounds like you have a really challenging job hun!! RE: Kakadu juice is essentially a superfood juice that is made from a combination of some wild Australian fruits and other super fruits from around the globe. It delivers a super high dose of antioxidants & vitamins. it is more of a medicinal dose i.e. 1L will cost approx $70, but you will only need 30ml per day. If you google it on the internet it will have more information on the food and studies etc. I think that this product has so much merit as some of the fruits native to Australia (i.e. Davidson Plum) have an even higher antioxidant level than a whole cup of blueberries.

    Keli - hehehe - still talking about my Kak juice I will stop now!! RE: me, I am doing good, sore bb's - I think I am now getting close to 10C - wahoo!!! Sweating really bad at night, nauseousness and bloating. I have started having AF type cramps, but no spotting or anything. Am trying to remain calm, but am pretty worried that something is going to happen. I am 5 wks and 5 days today. I am getting a dating scan on the 16 August (so a week and half) I can't wait to see the heartbeat and know everything is OK.

    Hello to everyone!!

    Hello to everyone!!
    Hope all goes well with your scan Pumpgirl! & thanks for the info on the Kakadu juice. I think Bec you mean Kykiyu grass - lol. My DH work sin the turf industry....

    Well good luck hun, I have everything crossed for no pre eclampsia, diabetes and for a safe arrival of your gorgeous little girl! I cant believe how close it is now. I remember when you fell pg, sooo exciting!
    Yeah, same here Tammara. FX

    Bec - OMG ferral children! I feel for you cos teaching is sooo much tougher than people realise. GL with catching that egg & GL for your upcoming appt with the new FS. I definately think no more CLomid for you too!

    AFM - I called Monash re: bloods & the HCG is nil, so that is good then I called OBS/GYNO office re: HCG taken when I started m/c & the level was only 24, so I never actually progressed at all in that pg, which is a little weird. In the past my levels have been spot on to when I started m/c so this one shouldn't have even been a pg by the looks of it... am a little confused. Anyway am keeping my SO/IUI appt & counselling for next week & then see what the Prof. says on Monday 16th - I don't think he will suggest anything else other than SO/IUI & I have requested the HCG bloods to go to him from OBS/GYNO so he can see that I was pg but it just didn't progress & see what he says to that.... probably nothing :S

    Sorry for the slack perssies. Take care all

    Just a quick one as I went home in my lunch break and have to go back soon .

    Bec, hopefully you catch that little egg this month, fx'd for you posting a BFP this cycle. The lovely perks of working as a teacher. I work in childcare and a few years ago I had a little fella that would just flip out and throw the furniture at us, tables, chairs, the whole lot.

    Pumpgirl, I'm sure everything is going to be fine, must be exciting, knowing you're going to hear that little heartbeat soon.

    Rhi, goodluck with the appointments, hoping it doesn't take long for your new cycles to begin and you find out what is going on with the m/c.

    Wow Keli, 20 weeks sooo exciting must be feeling the little one tumble around in there.

    Tammara, I'm sure you are going to be in fantastic hands for the delivery of your little girl, and nov isn't far away.

    Sorry if I have missed anyone, just a quick one today as I have to go back to work, my lunch break is nearly over and I am at home. I am feeling a little s*** at the moment, one of the girls at work has found out that she is pg and they weren't even talking about TTC. AAAHHH I just don;t know anymore and I'm thinking why should I even bother with putting myself through all of this. Anyway, Bec for your table, I am still waiting for AF to start, hopefully will over the weekend or by early next week. I better be off. Babydust to all.

    Afternoon ladies,

    Pumpgirl, yey for bb’s growing and yey a scan on the 16th, cant wait for you to see that little heart beating, best feeling eva. Oh and try not to stress about the cramps, I had exactly the same thing at the start of this pg, I totally thought that AF was on her way just running a tad late, I had the cramps for weeks.

    Jules, how very frustrating and confusing for you hun. Hope your next few appointments sort things out a little better for you.

    Oh Bec, I do hope the abuse you are coping stops very soon hun, totally not fair for you! GL catching that egg.

    Liz, yeah getting some good movement now which is the best thing. Just a constant reminder that bubs is growing nicely. I love it! As for the pg announcement at your work, arrrrrr I feel your frustration hun. I still can’t stand it when ppl tell me they are pg and weren’t even trying, or got pg on the first shot, they have no idea what we go through. Do keep trying though, it is totally worth the wait. Sending big hugs your way!

    Hey I had an idea for you ladies. Reet has a ticker for her cycle down the bottom, not sure where she got it but thought if everyone could put one of them in their signature then it would makes things easy to keep track of, just a thought cos I know how confusing it gets.

    Hope you are all well, GL to those catching eggs. Baby dust to all.
    Xxoo

    Hi girls!
    I got my all my medical records from my old FS today and was having a bit of a look through them and picked up a few interesting inconsistencies. At both my first m/c and my 3rd, my progesterone was 1.9nmol/L. By the looks of it, that's very low, even for 4 weeks UTD? Does anyway know anything about progesterone? I am just wondering becasue my Dr never even mentioned anything?
    Sorry for no persies,
    Bec

    Red face Hi...Can anyone join this thread????

    Hi
    I hope I am not intruding but I would love to get some advice/information from you guys. I have just started my first round of Chlomid (serophene). I am taking 100mgs and I am on day 4. This is the first step in what I hope will be a short assisted conception journey!
    I have posted about my "issues" elsewhere on these forum pages but basically, I am 39 (biological clock ticking loudly - I have an 8 year old but have been trying for another for a couple of years now), I have PCOS, Adenomyosis, endometriosis (My FS suspects but not confirmed), etc, etc
    I am seeing Dr Kate Stern at Melbourne IVF and she has been really good so far! She wants me to do three cycles of chlomid, then go straight into IVF. It has kind of happened in a blur so it is a little overwhelming.
    The chlomid isnt as bad as I thought. Slightly queasy a couple of times but nothing bad. Reading some of the posts on this site and it seems 100mg is a high dosage. Did anyone else start on this??
    I was also thinking it would be better to try more than 3 cycles before moving onto IVF. Has anyone got any advice around this??

    I would love to hear from anyone who can help

    thanks!!
