I have to believe that because right now while im at work I have a 16 yr old girl prg with twins (after a loss in March). If I didn't belive what you beleive then I would be sad, but im not, im just waiting for my turn to have a H&H prg and baby.

Hi All
What do people consider to be the first day of AF. Do you count the very faint spotting as the first day or wait until you see the red blood? I'm trying to work out my luteal phase.

Anyone else heard the latest groud breaking research about DTD and sperm production???????? My DH is VERY happy!!
I'll have to find out the Prof's name, but the research suggests that DTD more often is better for TTC couples as the sperm is of a higher quality if a male ejaculates frequently. They agree that their is less sperm due to increased ejaculation, but the quality is so much better so it balances out the odds, apparently.
So off I go AGAIN to chill out and try with DH.....................he thinks we may have got it this time..........................we'll see, just need to chill!

Morning all hope evryone is having a good weekend
Sunny hadnt heard that new research last time i was speaking to the doc she said its better not to dtd to often but im sure all the dh out there will be very happy to hear that news. Im glad you are holding out hope and believing and you will get your H&H pg really soon, hopefully this is your month
Coco hope your bleeding and pain clear up soon and a normal AF arrives so you can start TTC real soon and hopefully get your BFP.
zstar the babies in the special care nursery are just beautiful arent they i had a niece & nephew in there earlier in the year and they are just so gorgeous, hopefully you can have some lovely time with your little niece and you will get your very own BFP
maddison i love your positive attitude and i to believe that we will all get our happy little families very soon
Jules i hope you are starting to feel a little better, at leats now you know whats happening and they can do something to sort it all out
Hello to everyone else and hope to see some more BFP's in here soon
AFM after the d&c on tuesday i thought the bleeding had stopped but it came back again on friday, not as heavy as it was but still there. Dont know whats happening the doc said it should stop in 3 or 4 days but its still hereI have a checkup on tuesday but hopefully it stops by itself before then. Other than that ive had a good weekend though, had a win in netball on saturday and db took me out for a lovely dinner last night which was very yummy. Gonna have a nice soak in the bath now i think which will just top off my weekend.
Talk soon

Read it to hubby and since he hasnt been working he has been very co operative in dtd sometimes twice a day, im the one not wanting to dtd that often, lol.
So i have been reading but not posting as i havent had much to say, im cd14 today and at 1 am i went to the loo and i had a pink smear, but now nothing, it was a bit wet down there but i didnt know if that was because we dtd at 9.30pm, so im confused, its too early for implantation, so maybe its o?
I also have a runny ish nose and bloody nose also?
coco, im so very sorry that af is making an appearence. :hugs:
Afternoon ladies
I have been reading all the post's but havn't had a great deal to say.
Maddison-I agree we will all have have families one day whether it's a first baby or a last baby to complete a family like we are trying to achieve i have to believe it will happen otherwise i could not get through each day.
Zstar-the angel is in the other smilies where you type your reply post,at the top is a smilely face next to the big A click on that and it brings up a heap of them and the angel is in there.
Sammy-first day of AF is when there is blood not spotting.
Sunny09-i also read the info the more you dtd the better the DNA in the sperm and the better the quality.
eliselouise-I hope the bleeding settles down for you and i'm glad you are having a good weekend it sound's like you are doing ok.
To all my other BB girl's i hope you are all well
AFM-I am fertile as had a pos OPK and for the first time i had EWCM i havn't had that since my early twenties i am also h###y as a cane toad DH and i have been having the best sex because we havn't had to BD at a certain time and would you believe it we are both off work on my fertile days every other month i was fertile when we both were at work and had to have quickies in between now we are trying to avoid getting pregnant for a while and look what happen's the timing is right the CM is right everthing is right but our stupid gene's but we are being strong and making sure no spermies get in there it is so hard i keep thinking what if it could be the month and the baby would be ok and then i think what if i get pregnant and it is an affected baby AARRRGGGG!!! so i just have to keep waiting for oct to get my healthy babies

Good morning girls,
Sorry I have been MIA all weekend but was at my friends and she has a computer but no internet access at the moment.
Juleswa- sorry to hear your ultrasound news but at least it is something very treatable and you may have an answer now as to your difficulties getting or staying pg. Good luck and I hope once it is gone it will be an easy path to a BFP.
Eryberry- thanks for the answer, mt FS had me taking the clomid day 2-6 but I still either didn't o or o'ed around cd17-25 as I would normally but the pain for my overies ever since has been terrible.
Zstar- hope the TWW flies by with a BFP at the end of it.
Ashlily-welcome to our threat hope you are feeling the loving support that is here.
Elise- I hope the bleeding has stopped after your d&c.
Ferrals- isn't that just sods law that everything is in line for you to TTC and you are trying not to. I hope you enjoy making the most of dtd with out the pressuse of TTC
coco-please don't leave us I understand your frustration with AF showing up, I was so hopeful it was your month. If you are having pain weeing maybe you should see your doc it doesn't sound right.
afm-Thanks for the info on cd1 being blood not spotting I didn't know that so I must be a day earlier than I thought. Anyway still bit confused, temp has been going up and down like a yo-yo (36.1-36.5-36.2-36.5) at the same time each morning. Had a positive OPK on saturday night (you should have seen me dancing around doing my little o dance) and still positive yesterday so going on previous 2 months I should have o'ed yesterday but this mornings temp still only 36.5? We did inseminations, 2 on friday then 1 saturday lunchtime and 1 last night so REALLY hoping for a temp rise tomorrow or I will be very concerned that I had TSH surge but no egg released. Trying to think positive.
Hope everyone has a good week.

hi bb girls
i had a good quiet wk end. visited my friends & their 7 wk old twins. georgous! i wanted to steel one....
SammyP - angel all set up - thanks
eliselouise85 - hope things get back to normal & you get the all clear frm the doc tomorrow
Ferrals4 - pos OPK & EWCM!!! Massive!!! Bring on October!!!!
Sunbeam - positive positive positive.....
Sunny09 - my girlfriend in on 3rd IVF cycle and ff told them to DTD every 2nd day - keeps sperm active and healthy
coco1411 - i feel for you. i eat choc as this stage and it helps me. this whole af is such a head game. you don't want a baby - it is a welcome relief - you m/c and you hang out for it so you can TTC again - you want a baby and its the last thing you want to see. over it!
afm - cd17. i keep touching my b's to see if they are sore - if i don't stop checking i will make them sore! hilarious. had a great 2hr chat with my g/f on ivf yesterday. did me the world of good. she is a beautiful girl and i have told her about this site so i hope she gets on board.
better get back to work.......

Im sad and in in shock, i just got a text message from a gf who went to have a us, she is about 8 weeks and a few days, anyway her baby died. I feel so sad for her, she is trying for bub number 5 and had a mc at 4 weeks then fell pregnant with this one.
My heart is breaking for her, and i feel guilty cause she fell pregnant straight after my mc and was always telling me about how sick she was, i got jealous, now i feel so terriably sad for her.
afm, im waiting to o, but not sure if i have cause i didnt have all my signs, but a few things that said i maybe did. i dunno

Anila - Your girlfriend will need you more than ever now. We have all had those feelings of jealously but you never wished this upon her so dont feel bad about that. Just be the best friend you can be to her.
Registered User
Thanks maddison, i just dont get what is going on lately, all these losses, is it enviromental or what, i dont get it.
way too many good people have lost their beautiful bundles, and its just 1 to many.
My friend is in mourning atm, and its hard to help her cause we live in different states, but i told her to call me to talk when ever she is ready, im not good in these situations, i never know what to say, and although i have been there myself, words are so hard for me. iykwim.
Registered User
Anila - A good friend of mine lost twin boys at 23 weeks a little over a year ago and like you i had no idea what to say to her. I didnt think i would even be able to look at her without crying. I knew she would want space and to be alone so i let her know that when she was ready that i would be there. Its all you can do really.
I know what you mean about it happening so often now. But it still seems to be something that you shouldnt talk about. People need to talk about it. Thats what is great about this forum. I cant talk to my friends or family about my m/c. For them its something sad that shouldnt be spoken about.
Registered User
anila & maddison - i agree maddison. my brother lost his son 5 years ago. he was born at 24 weeks and lived for 2 weeks and the family doesn't talk about it. my brother needed and needs to talk about it so on little izacc's birthday i always call my brother and let him know that i know its izacc's birthday and chat about what he would be like if he was here and we have a cry and a laugh.
anila - maybe you could text your gf once a week and let her know you are thinking of her. take care of yourself and don't beat yourself up. jealousy is a natural feeling in our situations and we mean no harm by it.

I know what u mean, i cant talk about it with my sister, she just tells me to get over it!I cant talk to my friends or family about my m/c.
She has never had one, i have now had two, and yes emotionally i need to move on, but no i dont wanna get over it!!
like u i am glad i have this forum, my firsy mc was shoved under the carpet and walked all over like it didnt exsist, so i never delt with it, this time, it has been so much easier to deal with it, its still sad, and i will always miss what i could never have.
how are u going atm?
hey there zstar, i didnt see u post, lol, yeah i will sms her just to let her know i am here. She just text me to say that the obgyn, estimated 4 days ago, as she had a scan 5/6 days agao and had a heart beat, but bubba was measuring small, she said he thinks it was growth retardation, she is in her 40s, so i know she will worry if age had anything to do with it.
