Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss April 2007

Satya - OMG thats wonderful about your little 'blob' I'll be expecting to see you get a BFP in about 3 - 4 days.
Lee - im so sorry your little man passed away so quickly. He is lucky to have found such an extrodinary mummy like you to cuddle him before he got his wings.
Bekz - I cant wait to hear your u/s results.
Just wanted to give you a little run down on me (sorry if I bore anyone)
I got my tubes clamped after having WIlhelm because we thought we wouldn't be able to handle another baby with him being Autisic. I woke up from surery and kew I had done the wrong thing. My brother died in the following june and I asked him for a sign to let me know if I had done the wrong thing. I went to my doctors cause I was feeling cr@p and had a 'lump; im the middle of my groin. Thinking the worst (my sister had an emergancy hystercomy at 27 due to cancer down there) the doctor sent my for an u/s only to see a 'sac' and embroy that had died at 7 weeks. I was gob smacked. I fell pg 2 more times after that and then decided that was it, I wanted a reversal cause I knew I still had to be a mummy. I had my reversal in october 2005 and fell pg with Vyolett at my BIL wedding in december 2005. Vy was born in septebmer last year and lo and behold - I had a m/c last november. We decided to start trying again in October this year but I did a detox and went off the pill and we really weren't fussed if we fell pg again...and yep first cam the m/s straight away and VERY bad! oh yucky. Started bleeding on the friday and it stopped on the monday. Wednesday woke with cramps and more bleeding, so I went to the emergency department to be told (after u/s) that there were 2 and I had a complete m/s no need for a D&C. We had no idea until we m/c that we were expecting twins but they say the older you get the more chances of a multiple birht there is....god im only 32
So I just wanted to share a bit about me so you have an idea of who and what i am. I cant wait to add to my family and would love to have another baby by mid next year. Im planning on trying to get my body right and chart everything so that I dont m/c again.
thanks for listening guys

Hi ladies,

Lee - I had tears in my eyes reading about your sweet little boy and what you and your family have been through. I truly hope that you get some answers soon about what happened. We are all here for you if you need to vent, cry or just have a big virtual hug.

Maz - Wow, sounds like you have been through quite a bit to get here. You have definately come to the right place, hope you get your sticky BFP soon.

Sharon - so sorry to hear that AF showed, must mean you are meant to have a 08 baby, like the rest of us I am sure!

Jenjams - Sorry that you are feeling down honey. Sometimes you need to have a down day and thoroughly wallow in your doubts to allow you to move on. I know I have them all the time!

Janeo - glad the natropath went well, hopefully your body will decide to give you a BFP soon!

Satya - Glad AF stayed away so you could have your ultrasounds. Keep us informed!

Bun - Hope you are doing ok, and that the doc's get some answers for you asap.

Las - Do you set an alarm in the morning? I am usually pretty crap with remembering things, but I put the therm right on top of the alarm so I can't turn it off without being reminded to temp... I have to be really cunning with myself in the morning...

Herbie - I'm so with you on the waiting thing. It is the pits! Just think though, you might be getting your BFP in just a few more days.

Anyhow, not much going with me. I'm on CD 12 and have had 2 temp rises over the last 2 days, so started BD'ing even though I dont usually O until day 16 as a min. Feeling pretty down about the whole TTC thing, and not too optomistic that it will happen for me. I know I really need to snap out of it though. Just seems that everyone around me is having healthy happy babies.

anyhow, big hello to everyone that I missed, hope you are doing ok.

love

Thanks for your responses and kind words, it really does help. And thanks Alex, your story was similar to mine - although all my blood tests came back totally normal through my pregnancy. I really don't know what happened to my baby, it's like he "forgot to breathe". Very sad, broken heart.......

On another note - after the birth, I bled for about 2 weeks - normal loss. Then it all stopped. This week, 2 days ago - which would make it 6 weeks after birth - I had (what I thought) was my first AF. It was normal AF type blood - i.e. not 'left over' dark blood. But it came and went, pretty lightly, but definately there for 2 days, and has now stopped. I do assume this was AF, but just a bit 'out of sorts' after birth. I am a pretty healthy person, and even with such a huge trauma, I am amazed at the human body's ability to bounce back. I just guess I expected AF to be heavier.

I got online and brought some ovulation tests, so will start testing in a week or so. I'm getting "information obsessed"!!

Sending you all positive vibes and my deep appreciation for your support and also sending you all very very very positive vibes for having your dreams come to fruition.

Lee

Lee - So sorry to read of your loss. I hope you find out some answers for you and your family. *hugs*

Hello to everyone else. Not much happening here, besides lots of mood swings (my DH is blaming the Clomid). Just don't feel like communicating with anyone much at the moment, IYKWIM. I should be due to O sometime in the next week, so I guess I'll have to start being nice to my DH. lol

Cheers
Belinda

Hi everyone,

Maz - I don't think I there will be a BFP on it's way as I'm spotting and I don't feel pregnant. I guess I'm still hoping that I will be but it's more likely to be a clot sitting there. When I miscarried it was less than a normal period (apart from a few small clots) so I expect there will be something left over.

Leyla - I know how hard it is but try to keep your thoughts positive. The negative ones never get us anywhere. Wednesday night (the night before my ultrasound) I was in floods of tears and I couldn't even tell my DF why - I just did not know. Since having the ultrasound I've been OK again.

Belinda - Those mood swings on Clomid are foul aren't they? I remember them well. I'm so hoping I don't have to go back on it because I know I became a cow on it.

:)

Still spotting so I guess AF is on it's way. It had stopped by the time I went for my u/s but came back afterwards, yesterday it was red, today it's brown so maybe that's all it is. I'm still keeping the fingers crossed for a BFP but all the "symptoms" I had a week ago have disappeared so I'm pretty sure I'm not pg.

oh Satya - I hope that Im crying for you. Sorry but im very emotional and it just sucks when this happens. Im still praying for you. When I had my m/c I had an internal scan at 5 weeks and saw a 'blob' the chick couldnt tell me how many or anything but I got so excited to, then 2 days later I started blleding. I just hope that your little bugger sticks.
Could someone please educate me about clomid?

Good morning girls,

Way too many people in this thread.

Satya- You know what they say, it aint over until the fat aunt sings. Or something like that anyway! Hopefully it will be positive for you!
Belinda- Does chocolate help with the moods? It seems to help for a lot of things!
Lee- Positive vibes right back at ya.
Leyla- I'm with you on the whole TTC thing. Some days optimism just wont cut it. With luck you BD'ing this month just may be it for you.
Maz- After what you have been through, I am willing any m/c to stay away. In fact no girls deserve any m/c.

Will I am on CD37. According to FF I am 13 DPO so I guess AF will arrive tomorrow. Have been spotting for over a week now. I wish she would just hurry up so I can try next month. It was nothing worse when I had a good BD month in April and then the spotting started so it was worth nothing. A bit disheartening.

I almost forgot. Bekz, good luck for the ultrasound. Let us know how it goes.

Jen

Morning girls,

Well, my FS appointment went totally different from what I expected. We are now TTC this cycle! Apparently I have a healthy follicle and am about to O in the next couple of days. He has finally agreed that I need clomid which will lengthen my LP and hopefully help to sustain a pg. However, it is too late for this now as you need to take it in the first half of your cycle. So instead, I am on pregnyl injections that I need to take every three days for a fortnight after I O. I was soooo confused by it all at the appointment, but after cruising BB for a bit this morning, I am feeling a bit better about it. My FS really didn't spend much time with me and the whole appointment was a bit of a whirlwind, and then he left me with the nurse to explain it all to me a bit better.

I really never thought it would get to this. Injections seem so serious and I am a bit overwhelmed. DH used to have to inject himself for a medical condition a few years ago, so he is fine with it and will be able to give me the injections, but my head is still spinning. Oh, I also have a script for clomid next cycle if this one doesn't work. Why he couldn't have just given me the script months ago when I first asked for it, I don't know. Also, this is the much more expensive option (I don't even know how much yet). But anyway, at least something is being done and he seems to think this will fix the problem. I should be happy but I really am feeling quite overwhelmed by it all. I had accepted that we were not TTC this cycle, and in a matter of minutes I was told I am trying, I am having injections and it's all go go go. I know this is what I wanted, but sometimes it takes my head some time to catch up!

Welcome Maz and best of luck!

Bekz - thanks for checking in. It is all sounding very positive this time. Make sure you let us know how your scan goes.

Satya - I'm glad they found no sign of PCOS. What a pain having to wait over a week for your dr appointment. I hope the black blob doesn't turn out to be anything bad. I don't think it matters if one ovary is hard to see - sometimes I have had people take a while to find one and other times not, and my specialist has never commented on it at all. They do take a while doing scans - I think they have to measure everything and stuff. It's a pain when they are doing the internal and you just want them to hurry up and finish!

Hi to everyone else, sorry for a mainly selfish post, but I am all out of energy!

Bun xx

Thanks for your wishes everyone.

Bun - Wow I have all fingers and toes crossed for you this cycle. All the very best.

Satya - Sounds like you are having a hard time, hugs and I hope all your results etc come back a ok.

Hi everyone else, hope you are all very well and busy ttc.

Well, I am feeling ok atm (just ok). After having days of strong symptoms they have suddenly stopped. I hope it is just a pause and that everything is ok. I guess I will have to wait until Tuesday.

Hello to you all,

Farout there has been some chatting going on in here.
Hello & welcome to maz & lee & sorry you have to join us in this thread. You will have lots of support in here though as all of the these special people are very suuportive of each other.
leyla-Best of luck over the weekend with your bding & we will not expect to hear from you until Monday as we all know how busy you will be over the weekend LOL. Have lots of fun & talk to you soon. Don't feel down we are all here for you, I do know what you mean though sometimes just can't help it, :hugs: to you
Belinda-I am sure your DH is understanding if he isn't at the moment he will be in the next week, it is amazing how they change for BD LOL
Satya-I really hope AF stays away & she is just tricking fingers crossed for you
maz-I am with you on the clomid, I have no idea what it is or why it has to be taken, would love to know a bit about it though, hopefully someone can help us
jenjams-I am with you on the good bding month, I have had a great one too, I am 8DPO so still have all crossed but am very optomistic about the whole thing. I always think the worst so am telling myself it won't happen again oh well S@#$ happens I spose. I hope AF hurry's up for you so you can get back into it. I am following you so maybe we could become pg buddies as not far apart on cycle. Does this make sense cause sometimes i dribble a bit, sorry LOL
Bun-qwoo hoo for you, you will be with leyla this weekend, we all know what you guys will be up too!!!LOL, Don't worry about your head catching up just yet, do what the nurse says and get pg then it will all fall into place I am sure. Not very nice of FS to jsut dump you in it though, should have spent a little more time.You have DH for support & to help with injections, I am sure all will go well, :hug: Let us know how you are going, not over the weekend though, too busy you will be
Bekz-I am sure all is fine, bets of luck with appt Tuesday, let us know how you go. Have a relaxing weekend & don't worry yourself, will only make you feel worse :hug:

Sorry to anyone I have missed
Not much going on here, just the TWW which is agonising. I have been a bit gassy, sorry for the horrid details. I also have tender bb but only on the side,IYKWIM. Maybe nothing same as gas, I am jsut being a little too hopeful, cause I am sure I know what the answer will be in a few days. I am sometime sure I am pg other I am sure I am not. I only think I am cause I have learnt so much about myslef since talking to you guys & FF chart. Sorry for all the Bulls@#% I will go now.
Have a great weekend to you all, I will try to pop in but internet at home does not play nice sometimes
Lots of :bluedust: to everyone

Hi everyone,

Maz - Clomid is a tablet that is usually used by women who don't ovulate regularly. I used it years ago but didn't conceive until 3 months after going off it.... not sure if it had anything to do with it.

Jenjams - If the spotting is because of AF being on its way I hope it arrives soon. If the spotting is caused by an early pg then I hope it just goes away.... you never know.

Bun - I'm so pleased you got some action from your FS. Don't worry too much about the delay in getting Clomid. From what I've read on it Pregnyl is probably more suited to you anyway as you don't seem to have trouble with Oing, it's more the sticking which is the problem & Pregnyl is good for that. I hope this is all you need to get the next one to stick.

Herbie - waiting can be really bad, but what else can you do but wait? Things are sounding promising so far.... good luck.

:)

I'm CD 29 today & I'm getting some very light bleeding so I guess AF will be well and truly here by tomorrow morning. Trying to not let the disappointment kick in. I'll have to just try to think positive thoughts - I don't have PCOS & I had two follicles this month - these will have to be my mantra for the next week until I see my doctor.

ARGH!!!! I have been faithfully taking my temps and noticed that I had a dip the other day (CD10), but thought, 'no, it's far to early for that to be my O dip'. Anyhow you guessed it, FF has given me a coverline! I am so upset. We did not BD this cycle until yesterday (2DPO according to FF)! I never O on CD10! What the?

I am so very disapointed. I was so hoping that this month would be it. My CM and OPK's dont indicate O yet, however. Does anyone know anything about how much trust I should put in my temps? I am so confused.

So sorry for the selfish post... really need some advise if anyone knows anything that could help!

Did you have a normal sleep?? Did you wake at a different time or anything that might have affected your temp??? I really hope FF is wrong... I have just noticed that it isnt a full coverline so it might still change still do temps/opks and check cm cos it might change... Hold in there..

Thanks Janeo... no I did not do anything abnormal to cause the temp rise. I have been really good with taking it at the same time in the morning, as soon as the alarm goes off. I have been under a load of stress at work, but that's nothing new!
Yes, I'm really hoping that it does turn out to be a mistake. I have long cycles, so it just feels like you have to wait for ages when you miss an oppotunity.
I wish I'd taken a leaf out of your book and not temped this month!! I would feel a lot less stressed then!

thanks anyhow matey...

Well you will have a short cycle this time if you Oed at 10.. You must normally O late!!! Im sure it will change i think sometimes the littliest thing affects our temps so could be stree could be the change in the weather.. Oh well keep dtd and all the rest and see what happens...

maz hi, welcome back, sorry to hear about your losses, I hope you manage to get a bfp nice a quickly. And it definitely sounds like you are meant to add to your family.
BekZ I have absolutely everything crossed for you that all is OK, and I hope that Tuesday comes around nice and quickly and/or that ALL your symptoms come back, try not to worry too much hun :hugs:
satya ooooooh, I hope that your 'blob' turns out to be something great for you :crossfingers:
Leyla I agree with Janeo about FF may change your O date if you get other signs, like ECM and +ve OPK and cervix position, so maybe just get in some BD'ing now anyway.
Lee my first AF after my D&C was extremely light, even to the point of me thinking it could just be spotting but the timing of it was 'right' so if I where you I would just assume that it was your normal AF.
missbelinda77 sorry to hear about your mood swings and your not wanting to 'communicate' but I think we can all understand, bugger that you have to start being nice to DH though, you'd think they could just take it like a man and still be able to perform in the bedroom when needed.
satya it's not over yet, praying that AF stays away from you, especially since she is being a real cow with me.
jenjams hoping that AF stays away from you also.
Bun wow what an exciting appointment, glad that he has decided to do something right away for you though, and hopefully if you can catch you eggie this cycle and the injections work, you won't need the clomid.
Herbie when I was pg the last time, it was only my right bb that was sore to start with and it was only on the outside of the bb iykwim, so I hope you get your bfp in a couple of days.

All I have to say today is that AF has given me hell the last 2 days, I can not believe how much I am bleeding, am usually a Medium to Light person for 2-3 days (normally) and usually with very little (if any) pain. Last night I was in so much pain I was crying, we didn't have any panadol etc so dh gave me daytime cold and flu tablet that had paracetamol in it which did work (thankfully) but the pain I felt was so low down in my abdomen it was like the pain was also in my cervix iykwim. in the space of 3 hours today (and sorry if this is tmi) I literally flooded 2 pads and then had to use a tampon as I was up the coast at my brother and sil's place and the tampon started leaking after an hour. It has started to slow down tonight, but geez, I think the last time my AF was THAT heavy was after I gave birth to Jordan.

Morning everyone

Okay, okay - so you Aussies thrashed us Kiwis at the World Cup this morning- but you DO know we were just saving ourselves to beat you in the final don't you????

BekZ - stupid to ask you to try and relax and enjoy your weekend, I know, but Tues will come quickly and will put your mind at rest, take care til then

Lee - hope I didn't confuse you - all my bloods came back normal for the whole pregnancy too- Group B Strep is bacteria (nothing to do with bloods) that can be passed to the baby after your waters have gone or during delivery, you may not even know you have it, it is a normal condition BUT it is a huge cause of breathing problems in newborns within minutes of delivery and cause lots of other problems too. Try and ask whether they have ruled out GBS with Luc.

Sharon - sorry to hear AF is giving you hell, it sounds like you have really been put through it this month - perhaps the old red witch knows this will be your last one for this year and decided to make it a biggy!!!

Satya - praying for your blob - if this is good news, we can call your pgy Blob all the time!!

Leyla - hoping everything is coming together, I am SO dire at temping, nothing looks normal so I can identify with you!

Jane - have I missed the picture of the ring yet?? Have been looking but lost the plot on how busy this thread is.

No news here - am STILL bleeding 18 days post D&C but GP says this is because my haem is still low - normally not bad enough to stain a pad, it's just there when I wipe THEN yesterday I stained the pad quite a bit and then today it has gone - Sharon, does this sound like your first AF after the D&C - am SO frustrated as for the first time in my life, I have no idea what or where my body is up to!! Grrr!!

Big hugs to all those I have missed, hoping for good news for you all very soon

Morning Ladies,
I have been low key in this thread for a while as it has been 8 mnths of TTC since losing my Angel. Well, I have some news...........BFP BFP BFP BFP!!!!!
I tested this morning at 13dpo & to my absolute SHOCK 2 lines came up!. The test line is as dark if not darker than the control line (internet cheapies 10miu/ml). I am in a state of shock to be completely honest. Th first cycle of clomid appears to have done the trick so I am stoked to say the least. Now the fear will start to set in as I lost a baby last Aug at 12 weeks BUT I do have a H&H 2yo so.......
Symptoms: NONE really - my boobs feel as soft & unsore as always. I got up once to wee through the night but that was days ago. Tiny flutters here & there but thought it was just cos I was a bit windy So please don't write off your chances just cos you don't have symptoms (PS: O'd cd 15, BD: cd12, 13, 14 & 16). I will go for a BT soon to ease my mind. It is early days for me yet but I know with the support of my BB friends everything will be ok.
Please don't lose hope guys, it will happen for you. I will be praying for you all for a BFP really soon.Take care....

OOoohh, lovely news!!!

:bfp: - can we all have one please!!!

Well done you, here's hoping you will have to change your user name to Mummyto2!!

Hi everyone.

Mummyto1Congrats on the :bfp:. Sending you lots of :stickyvibesgirl:

Leyla That's the thing with Oing. It can happen early and sometimes you will only realise it after the fact. I've read heaps of posts from women who's temps are so irregular that they give up on it. I think that temping just doesn't work well for some women. Unless you have a history of long term ttc it might be best to leave the temping alone for a while and just bd when you feel like it. Since starting to ttc my DF and I have been bd'ing pretty much at least every second day, and since the m/c almost every day (even when I don't think I'm fertile), just to cover all bases. I've noticed that a lot of people accidentally fall pregnant very early on in relationships and I think this is because they are bd'ing all the time, not just around fertile times like many of us who are ttc.... just something to think about.

Sharon I feel for you. Your AF sounds very nasty indeed. I woke with mine in the early hours of this morning and it was full on - the most blood I can remember getting at the beginning of a period for years and far heavier than my m/c was. I hope yours improves over today.

Heybacko That's a long time to bleed after a D&C. I had one years ago (was not pg at the time though) and only had bleeding for a few days. The worst thing for me was all the blue dye that was coming out for the first few hours - it was very freaky. I'd had some kind of test for infertility as well, and that's what the blue dye was for. I hope the bleeding stops for you very soon.

:(

Well my AF did show up as expected today - in the early hours of this morning. It came on full force. I can't remember having an AF this strong in years & as I've probably already had more blood this morning than what I did in the 3 days of bleeding with the m/c. Obviously everything didn't come out when I m/c and that blob on the screen must have been a clot which is yet to rear it's ugly head. Not looking forward to that.

I put my jeans on this morning and I'm so bloated I burst in to tears. I just looked awful. My DF suggested I put a different pair on - ones that aren't so tight - and that seems to have done the trick. I'm feeling a lot better now.

I really feel like just staying in bed today but I've arranged to see a friend that I haven't seen face to face for months and I think I really need to do that today. It's time to tell her what I've been going through over the last month. I know she will be a huge support to me. We used to be the best of friends but both being in new relationships we have drifted apart but today is the day we have decided is our day for catching up on each other's lives. I know she's been going through a lot with her DP so it could be an emotional day but that said, I'm really looking forward to it.

WOOHOO Mummyto1 on your :bfp: . I'm sending you all the :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl: that I can muster. I'm so happy for you. When you feel comfortable please come on over and join us in the pregnancy after m/c or loss.

I'm sending lots of baby vibes to all you other great ladies in here.

And congratulations to Mummyto1 from me, too! :dance: Sending you lots of :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl: Woohoo!!
Fingers crossed for everyone in the TWW, waiting for O or waiting for AF to come or go! Thinking of you all.

Satya - enjoy your day with your friend. It will be good to have a girlie talk & get everything out. Hope you feel good afterwards. I know what you mean about the jeans too. I have all these cool jeans hanging in my wardrobe but can only wear one pair - have stacked on a few kgs over the last few months. Thinking about it I think it has stemmed from the stress of the m/c & TTC again - you know comfort eating & all that.
Hope af eases up on you & does what it needs to do to prepare for a BFP this cycle. Same goes for all you gals!!
Thanks Mako - will mosy over there once I am used to the idea. Still feeling very scared at the moment but I will be working on that......

Morning all!

jenjams - any news yet?? Hoping AF has stayed away.

Bun - glad your appointment went well and you are ttc again!! The whole process of injections is a little overwhelming inititally, but once you get started, it won't seem so bad! Hoping everything goes to plan this cycle, good luck!

BekZ - Good luck for Tuesday! Keep thinking positive thoughts!

Herbie - sending you lots of sticky vibes!! Hang in there.

Satya - bugga AF :( It's just not fair, I'm so sorry. Hope you had a nice day out with your friend though.

Leyla - sorry about your results. I'm hopeless with FF and just don't get it.

Sharon - How are you feeling now?? AF has been crappy here too, I'm guessing because it's my first cycle after the m/c...but I've always had bad cycles due to the Endo. Hope it's eased up a bit for you by today.

Heybacko - Sorry you are still bleeding :( You must be feeling a bit drained by now?? LOL @ cricket!! I would expect nothing less of the Kiwi's ;-) Should be an interesting finals series!

mummyto1 - Congratulations!!!! So thrilled you've got such wonderful news! Wishing you a healthy few months ahead!

Phew...caught up on this thread! No news here, AF just finishing now, only 10 days now until FS appointment, this 6 weeks has dragged by. We are going to try naturally this cycle, DH has been taking some zinc, so will see how it goes, but we've never conceived naturally, so not holding much hope. I have lost 2kg's though, so happy with that!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend! It's a bit dark and drizzly in Melbourne, so our plans for a bushwalk have gone out the door :(

Mummyto1 - your going to have the best christmas ever this year. That is the best news ive heard all week. Im wrapped for you.
Sharon - I hope your alright today and that the bleeding has eased off. Have a hot chocie and crawl in to bed.
Satya - IM so sorry that it wasnt your month. I wish I could give you a big hug.
I did a HPT last night and got a BFN...still no AF but hey, I just cant think about it yet, I know I'll get to upset and look to deep into why I havent got AF yet
OH its raining... YAY, winters coming. I might go do some garderning to keep my mind of things.
Thanks all very much for the welcome again girls. Starting to breath again. YKWIM

Hi everyone,

I've been a bit quiet this week, haven't really had much to report. I'm in the TWW at the moment 4 DPO, so just have to wait until the end of next week. Although i am really quite nervous about what is going to happen this month - I really don't want a repeat of the last 2 months :(

I do have a question though, if anyone can help me, I normally have a 25 day cycle with a 10 day luteal phase. What is the earliest you would do a HPT if you were me? I have some of the 10miu ones coming. I'm going to post this q over in the HPT section as well.

Congratulations mummy to1 - that is great news. I hope everything goes really well for you.

*las* - good luck for this cycle

satya - what a bummer about AF :( I hope catching up with your friend makes you feel a bit better

Alex - I hope that bleeding stops for you really soon, it must be horrible to have it drag on. LOL at your comments on the cricket though

Sharon - that sounds terrible :( I hope things get better for you soon

Leyla - I so know what you mean about FF, it was done wierd things to me this cycle too. It said that I O'ed on day 16 and I'm convinced it was day 15. Oh well, what can you do? Goos luck for this cycle anyway.

And welcome to Lee and maz, I too am sorry that you have had to join us here. Hopefully we'll be getting out soon!

Hello and all the best to everyone I've missed :D

Hi everyone,

mummyto1, las & megsmum Yes I did have a great day out with my friend. We had a lovely lunch & did some retail therapy. I really enjoyed catching up with her & it was very easy to discuss the m/c with her. She had heard through another friend that we were trying and was really shocked to learn that we'd had a m/c. After spending time with her I've really reassessed my own life and although it's been tough getting through the last month I consider myself very lucky. I have a DF who loves me to death, a good job, a beautiful house that I will one day own, the cutest little dog in the world, an awesome step daughter & two great cars. I really don't need too much more in life than that.

Maz I'm thinking about buying some shares in a HPT company. The way we ladies who are TTC go through the damn things I'm sure I'd make a great profit.

:)

After such a nasty start this morning my AF has almost disappeared. I've had only light bleeding for the last few hours..... all very strange I think.

Awesome news Mummyto1. Now all we need is everyone else to have BFP

Well I am still spotting so lightly today. Cramps keep coming and going. I have had slight nausea for the last couple days too. I have the gut feeling I am not pg but I tested 2 days ago in the arvo all the same which was a BFN. I hope AF arrives soon. FF tells me I am 14DPO so I was expecting it today but not yet. So hurry up so I can try next month.

Hope all are having a good weekend.

PMSL Satya. I went through 5 packets last time with the twins...shhh dont tell Jed
Susannah - im not sorry to be here (ok a little maybe) but its great to be able to share with others who are going through the same and give each other cyber cuddles when we feel like $hit.

Ok girls so im officially out of here now.. I have decided with DF to get married THIS YEAR not next..

I was started to freak that i wouldnt fall pg in enough time to have bubba, lose weight and get my dress so to ease that stress we are looking at Nov/Dec this year.. Going to make some calls tomorrow and hopefully i can get the Venue i want and band and Photography.. Fingers crossed.... Then in Oct ill be back as we will be back on the TTC journey... But NONE of you will be here and hopefully no one else but as we all know there will be someone in here needing support and guidance through this horrible time.. And thank you to all of you for being here for me and to those that i hopefully helped that little bit along you journeys.. HUGS AND KISSES to all and wish you all the best!!!!!!

Good luck with it all Jane0.

AF arrived for me this morning..... Its a 2008 little tacker now.

Happy Sunday

mummyto1 - CONGRATULATIONS!! that is wonderful news! Sending you loads of sticky vibes.

Janeo - How exciting! You are going to be a busy girl!

Satya - Sounds like things with your friend went well. Sometimes its good to be reminded of how much we have, its so easy to take things for granted.

Sharon - So sorry that AF is so nasty, hope things get better soon.

Jenjams - Poo to AF! 2008 will be it for you for sure...

Las - well done on the weight loss, they say even a little can have a huge affect on your fertility. I hear that zinc works wonders too. My DH is taking zinc and also heaps of Vit C, some study proved that a min of 1000mg at day can improve sperm count by 140% (that was for smokers, which DH is not, but it can help non-smokers too).

Megsmum - I'm with you on the strange FF thing. I've decided to ignor it for now and just keep on dtd. My temp dropped again this morning, so I am thinking that I might be O'ing at my usual 17-19CD. I'm really not sure about when to do a HPT for a 10 day LP. I would guess it would have to be aroudn 9 or 10 as it takes a while for the hormone to build up. Most people don't get BFP's before 9 days as far as I know.

Alex - hope things sort themselves out soon. Does not sound like you are having a good time of it.

hi to everyone else, hope you are enjoying your weekends!

BIG Hugs Jemjams!! 2008 will be a GREAT yr!!!!!

Hi Ladies,

Thanks for all your well wishes for Tuesday. I am nervous but at the same time I am visualing every thing working out well and that my little bean is growing healthily.

Sharon - So sorry that AF has hit you so badly. Hope it has settled down for you by now.

Mummyto1 - WOW congrates. I wish you all the very best hon. Hears to a easy peasy stress free pregnancy.

Janeo - Congrates on deciding to get married this year. I had a November wedding and the weather was perfect. Just remember if you are planning on coming to QLD for your honeymoon that schoolies week is on at the end of Nov and you wont want to stay at the Gold Coast or Sunshine Coast then!!!! sorry you prob are not even thinking of having a honeymoon up here but I thought I would just warn you.


Wishing everyone else well and I will drop back in next week some time.

Thanks Bekz.. Date has been set at 15th Dec... So honeymoon will be early Jan when im on holidays as we have school holidays off... And might think about gc but maybe Port Douglas as we hae been to GC a few times LOVE it though sooo much to do...

Jane - How exciting about setting the wedding date! You won't even have time to think about TTC with all the preparations and stress that is coming your way hehe!

Bekz - Let us know how you go, but I'm sure everything will be perfect!

Jenjams - sorry that AF arrived. 2008 is going to be a big year for lots of us :)

megsmum - I have just started the TWW, so I am not far behind you - so looks like we will be bellybuddies together!

las - congrats on losing 2kgs! not long to go to your FS appt now!

mummyto1 - Congratulations on your BFP!!! That's wonderful news!!!

Hi to Leyla, Satya, Maz, Sharon, Alex and anyone else I missed!

Thanks to everyone for your understanding advise over the last week. I made it through the week, just! I got a +ve OPK on Friday night when my DH was at work so I went psycho at him again, but all is well now. I got another +ve OPK again yesterday morning so we have been BDing like crazy and I also had intense ovulation pain on my right side yesterday - So i'm pretty sure I O'd this month and that we BD'ed at the right time. So now I just have to get through the TWW before I can make any announcements (I'm thinking positive thoughts!). If we conceive this time, then my EDD will be 12 Jan 2008. And FF tells me to test on May 7th - but gee I'm getting so ahead of myself already. I'm either going to be ecstatic or majorly disappointed, but you've got to dream right?

:dance: YAY Mummyto1...congratulations sweety. That's to best news. Wishing you a very H&H Pregnancy. :dance:

Jane- Congrats on getting married this year. How awesome. I'm so happy for you and now you have something to really keep your mind busy. WooHoo...

Hi to everyone else....hope you are all doing okay.

Hi Shan!!
How are you travelling? Sorry to crash the thread but just wanted you to know that I've been thinking of you. There's always a warmed seat for you next door! and I want you in before I'm out!

Bun,
Sorry to hear you are a bit up and down at the mo. I've been checking in on you from time to time and am sending truckloads of babydust your way!

Janeo,
Congrats on the upcoming nuptials-- how excitement! You've got a lot of planning to do before December so it sounds as though you'll have your hands full without fussing about TTC anyway! What a fantastic way to keep your mind and body busy! I remember we renovated our kitchen, livingroom and DH's studio after my first loss and the time really flew by, I hope the same happens for you-- but not too fast you must make the most of celebrating being engaged!

Belinda,
Don't work that DH of yours too hard-lol! I hope you catch that eggy this cycle!

Kerry,Mako,Mummyto1&BekZ,
I'll be seeing you lovely ladies on the flipside! Belly rubs to you all!!

:bluedust: :bluedust: then :stickyvibesgirl: :stickyvibesgirl: to all the TTC girls!

Hope xoxo

hyebacko AF is finally easing up. As for my 1st AF after D&C it was really borderline spotting and light AF probably more spotting, but decided to class it as light, as there really wasn't very much staining on my sanitary pad at all.
mummyto1 that is just fantastic news, CONGRATULATIONS lots of :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl: for you
*las* feeling a lot more 'human' today thanks :0) congratulations on losing 2kg that is great.
maz instead of going to bed yesterday I decided to have a night out scrapbooking with the girls, told DH wouldn't be late, but I still didn't get home till 1.40am, which for me isn't late as I don't usually get home till about 4am :D
megsmum it is really quite nerve racking waiting to see if you get your BFP after a m/c I have my fingers crossed for you. AF seems to be showing signs that she may bugger off soon, so that's good.
satya hope you have got off lightly with AF this month.
jenjams I really hope that you get an answer one way or the other, the spotting must be driving you nuts. (just finished reading the thread, at least you know now, and we can be cycle buddies)
janeo That is great news about bringing the wedding forward, as I can totally understand why you would be worrying about everything all at the same time, good luck with everything and hope to see you around the forum in November some time :hug:
Leyla happy to report that the old cow is packing her bags as we speak (well type) she should be gone in a day or two.
BekZ good luck for tuesday, let us know how it goes hun.
missbelinda77 hope your timing has been great and you caught your eggie, don't worry about getting ahead of yourself, I did the exact same thing with my last cycle, I just have to know everything before it happens LOL

I am so glad that AF is packing her bags and getting ready to leave, she has been a real witch. I have been in the foulest of moods the last 5 days, a real "snappy tom" and DH had the nerve to ask me why I keep biting his head off lately, well, hello honey, I have the period from hell and my hormones have taken over my mind and body, LOL I even went and sat out the back garden on my own for about an hour after that because I just wanted to punch someone in the head, and his head was looking mighty fine (hehehe) but more hormones seem to be retreating a bit as well today so all in all I am feeling much better.

I really just wanted to say thank you to everyone! I have been lurking for almost 2 weeks now and so many of you have been giving me more hope. My name is Diane and my husband Jeremy and I have a wonderful 5 year old son named Zion Joshua. We have only been married 9 months and are fairly young. I am 25 and he is 26 years old, we found out I was pregnant again on Feb. 26th and everything was great.

I had a little bleeding at 5 1/2 weeks and went to the ER where they said everything was normal and good so I proceeded to make my regular OB appointment. My appointment was April 10th through ultrasound they couldn't find the heartbeat and although I was 10.5 weeks baby measured to 8.5 weeks. I am finally able to go through most of my day without crying family has been supportive and everything. I am physically ok after d & c.

Anyways I know this thread isn't the place to share my story but I just barely stopped bleeding and my husband and I want to ttc very soon. I think it took us 4 months to conceive this baby, but does anyone know if its true that you are more fertile after a mc or pregnancy? Also I know that its still fresh so I need to wait a little longer but I am just so anxious and scared I don't know when we should really start trying. I am sorry to bombard this thread I know that most of you know eachother a bit but I am just so confused and scared and I don't know who else to go to for these questions. I appreciate all of your experiences and what you have come through. Thank you for your time ladies.

Diane
