    Hi guys,

    Lee - sorry to hear the autopsy results aren't back yet, and sorry that you have had a hard time at nights. I always find that is the worst time of day when something awful has happened - the quiet just gives you nothing else to think about I guess. I hope the HPTs arrive soon!

    jenjams - I hope you O soon and good luck catching the eggie!

    satya - sounding good! When are you going to test?

    Welcome Pash!

    kiwigirl - hope AF comes soon for you! I hate that wait!

    Sharon - not long til testing time now!

    Salt - how are you going?

    Las - sorry you don't feel you can cycle this month - that's a hard decision to make, but I think you're right in that you need to wait until you are ready and have the best chance for a healthy bub! That sounds like a good idea to have a weekend away.

    Leyla - so many things do have to go right to get a BFP, it is a wonder anyone ever has a baby! It is just soooo frustrating that when the dr finally gives me something to support a pg, we don't manage to get pg in the first place, when every other cycle we had no trouble falling, but just couldn't hang onto it! So typical!

    Hi Kerry - so sorry again to hear about your bub, but hopefully you will be joining us here soon and will fall pg with a healthy little bub before you know it! I know you have a FS appointment coming up - are you going to ask them to do the repeat loss tests? It maybe isn't necessary after only two losses (I was told that), but I think it is a good idea to get them done, even if just for your peace of mind. Hopefully they will have some answers or a plan for you. Flowerchild's post on tests for recurrent m/c is great, and I think covers everything you need to know. Feel free to ask me any questions, I have been where you are and I know how confusing and upsetting it all is

    Hi to everyone I have missed.

    I had another BT today and start my first clomid tablet tonight. AF arrived yesterday, thank goodness, so at least I haven't had to wait too long to get started on this. I am hoping the side-effects aren't too bad, as I have heard some awful stuff about this drug! I have warned DH that I may turn into a psycho, and he basically said I already am! Cheeky bugger. I must say, after falling pg every cycle we have tried, it is so much less emotionally draining to find you are not pg than to m/c again. That has been my only experience with TTC so far, and although I was disappointed to hear I wasn't pg, in a way it was actually a relief. How awful am I to feel that? I am just so sick of the stress of it all, and this means I can relax for a few weeks without that awful fear I usually get of just waiting for my bub to die. Sometimes I wonder what I really want. Of course I want a family more than anything, but the stress I am going through to get there has me questioning myself some days. Anyway, I am confident the clomid will do the trick, now we just have to fall pg this cycle! My next BT is in a week, so I guess I will find out then how my body is coping with it.

    Hey Girls

    Firstly a big hug congrats to maz and bekz, you go girls!!

    Lee I feel for you, waiting for the news, either good or bad, well there really isnt any good news, but you know what i mean.. just to have an answer or know that there isnt one...yep its so hard.

    Sorry i've been so quiet for a while, been tying to cope and been on tenderhooks waiting for the results from the D & C which finally came in today. The baby was normal, 46xx, so a little girl. This is really really good because it means that Kim can conceive and she can make a normal embryo (embryologist in the past has stated that Kim shouldn't have children due to both eggs producing triploidy in the ICSI cycle when she was to be my egg donor)...

    So it is a real relief... so now we just have to wait for kim's period to come. Because our doctor couldnt explain why she miscarried, i asked if he could test kim for other possibilities like ANA's and ACA's which he agreed to. Just to cover bases, dont want to ever go through this again...too hard. But i guess you just have to keep on keeping on dont you. So we are going to assume that it was the Subchorionic Hematoma that ended the pregnancy at this stage.

    I hope everyone is doing well and i'm thinking of you all, i read alot and dont post, i was sort of in limbo land waiting for our results. Its been really quite hard to think that we both might not be able to conceive(me) or carry (kim) a child. But i guess at least we have the benefit of having another option, most couples don't. So i guess we are blessed in that way.
