Sharon - good luck for this month! I know what you mean about the OPKs - I've been using them the last 3 months. The 1st month everything was good - got a positive on day 12 and Oed 2 days later. But the last 2 months I've got nothing - and no idea what's going on. Oh well, I guess I'll just try again this month with them.
Bun - I hope the injections work, I've got all my fingers crossed for you this month!
las - that's good news about your trip to the FS. All the best for this month!
satya - I hope your DF is feeling better really soon - what rotten luck for you
mummyto1 - hope everything is going well
Well I'm now on CD2 - AF arrived yesterday obviously What a bummer! I'm just getting to the stage where I've got no idea what's going on with my cycle anymore, and its really starting to p!$$ me off. I thought that after an early miscarriage that things would get back to normal pretty quickly??
In the 3 months that we have been TTC I haven't had a normal cycle . The 1st was a miscarriage definitely, the 2nd I'm certain was another (32 days) but didn't confirm it with a HPT, and this last cycle lasted for 28 days. My normal cycle is 24 days and was for months before we started to TTC so I don't know if I've had a chemical pregnancy this month or just a wierd cycle. I did a HPT on day 27 and it was neg, but I've had sore boobs for about a week (which I never get) still have them on CD2. This is really driving me nuts - I'm just about over all of this TTC business! And it's still another week until my appointment to see my OB - God only knows what he'll say about it all!
Anyway, sorry about the vent, hope everyone else is doing well.
Salt - I so hope that the clot is gone soon. I think the worst thing about TTC is the waiting factor! Strange how we seem to see glam pg women and beautiful babies everywhere as well!
Bun - I think we are all hanging out for your results next week! I truly hope that this month is your month.
Megsmum - Stupid AF!! Hope your cycle sorts itself out soon.
Satya - I would be pretty annoyed with my DH too! Hope he lives up to his end of the bargain and you catch the eggie.
Jenjams - I totally planned to temp 'downstairs' this month, but just kept forgetting! FF finally gave me a coverline - unbroken too - which it has not done before. I really don't know what was going on as I have been really good with temping and last month seemed to go really well. Oh well, I guess my body just has a mind of it's own. I hope that your chart goes better this month, I'll be keeping an eye it to see if downstairs temps make a difference.
Sharon - I'm with you on the OPK's. I've used them over 4 months now. First 2 it worked perfectly, and the last 2 I never really got a full positive. I decided this time to just list the 'most' positive one as a positive on FF as I am guessing I just missed the peak surge. Very annoying though, cause it cost to much to test twice a day when you have a long cycle with an unpredictably O day.
Big hello to everyone else. Hope things are going well.
Salt - yay for you! Glad the clot has gone and you can get on with it. I have the same problem with OPKs and have decided to ditch them - first I used the darkest negative as a positve, then I deleted all the info because it wasn't certain. FF put me back a day.
Still getting this weird cm, it can't be EWCM so maybe it's "rubber cement" creamy? I only get it if I check internally.
Sharon - thanks for the FF info. I had checked the sleep deprived box & did again this morning even though I took the temp at the normal time & now I have two white boxes.
Bun - thanks also for the FF info. Try not to think anything of your symptoms. As you say they could be caused by the drugs. Just think what a nice surprise it would be to get a BFP with the blood tests if you are thinking that you are not pg.
megsmum - sorry about AF arriving. Although you may not have had sore BBs before AF normally you may find that you will get them for a while. Premenstrual symptoms can change over the years so you can get new symptoms and others can drop off. I find I get certain things for maybe a few years and then they evolve in to a different pattern so that may be all that was.
Salt - glad the clot has finally gone. I'm with you on the pregnant women. I see them everywhere I go. I am so envious of them. I want that big bump.
Well I'm CD12 today and it looks like DF is on the mend. I just may get some action tonight. I don't think I've O'd yet as my temp hasn't raised yet. I normally have a 28 day cycle (although I have had a couple of 21 day ones in the last year) so I'm thinking O is about to happen in the next couple of days.
Hi everyone!
I was wanting to ask a question in regards to your first AF after D&C/Miscarriage. I got my first AF 4 and a half weeks after my D&C and it was light to what I used to get and it only lasted 4days. The thing is that on CD8 and 9 I had a little spotting only when I wiped and it was mixed in stretchy CM and I also had slight cramps. My question is that is this normal to have some spotting after AF is over as I never had any prior to the D&C so I am totally confused so if anyone at all can help PLEASE!
Thanks heaps Salt! I just hate all the waiting and wondering. I even did some ovulation tests to see if the spotting was due to that as I read somewhere that you can spot during ovulation but the test was negative. At least I know now I am not the only one!
Thanks again
Las goodluck BDing this month hope you catch that egg
Bun fingers crossed for your BT hope you are properly UP THE DUFF
Well as for me I got a referral to one of our specialist OB's here at work so I am just waiting for her to send an appt time out for me. I am only today late for AF so I'm still not sure this is going to stick and I dont think I could handle another M/C so am super stressed and keep having bouts of panic and tears thinking about it all specially since the nausea has all but gone and no other symptoms at all.
Salt - so glad to hear the clot is gone!!! You must be so happy to hear that news. It is about time your luck changed. Now you are on your way!!! I see beautiful pg women everywhere too, usually I have seen at leat one before I even get into work in the morning!
Sarah - I am glad you are getting an appointment with a specialist OB. It is so hard not to worry but remember, each pregnancy is different and has nothing to do with previous ones, so there is no reason that this one will not end up with a healthy and happy bub. This is such a stressful time for you, and I am thinking of you. Most people don't have symptoms at all this early, so try not to worry about that.
las - that's great news that you got the all-clear to try clomid! Best of luck!
satya - glad to hear DF is on the mend, and before O so good timing! Good luck!
Leyla - congrats on your coverline!
megsmum - my cycle was a bit weird after a m/c too, hopefully it will start to straighten itself out soon! It is so frustrating!
Sharon - I use the same tactic with DH - I don't want to overwhelm him, so don't tell him what I expect beforehand! Good luck!
Rae - thank you so much for your kind words. You really are the most beautiful person to pop in and send some babydust. I read your journal and have been following your progress (sorry I don't write anything, but I get a bit sad sometimes thinking that my bub should have been due on the same day, but please know that I am always thinking of you). Not long to go now and you will be meeting Tia! So glad to hear things are going so well.
Well, I still have all the pg symptoms I usually get but am trying not to read anything into it. I am just so scared that even if the problem has been fixed with the injections, there is always a chance ot m/c, like if it is a bad egg or sperm, or doesn't implant right, or the chromosomes don't match up properly, so it could still not work out, and I don't know if I can go through that again. I am also p***** at my dr as I received the bill last night. If everything works out, I certainly don't mind how much I pay out, but I am just annoyed that he wouldn't give me clomid until I had an appointment with him, but then at my appointment it was too late in my cycle for clomid, but he gave me a script for it for next cycle anyway, in case I need it, but told me nothing about it and in fact barely spoke to me at all, he just left me with the nurses. So now, because it was too late for clomid, I am on hugely expensive hormones and have to be injected every three days, when clomid would have cost a fraction of the cost, not involved injecting, and would have done exactly the same thing if he could just have given it to me when I asked for it! Grrrr....
Anyway, I am just plugging along and waiting for my BT next Tues. In a way I am hoping for time to go slowly because I am so scared of whatever the outcome will be. If they say I am pg, that is when the terror sets in, but if they say I am not pg, I will be sad too. I hate this!!!!
i got los tin transit......
SP - fantastic news that the clot is gone...all steam ahead.
i hope that this thread empties out a bit in the next 2 months... BRING ON THE 2008 BABIES!!!!!
Flowerchild - YAY honey im so wrapped for you
Bun - you poor thing. Obviously the doctors bill came as a shock to you. I'm very annoyed at how expensive fertility treatment is. How about the government stop throwing baby bonuses at people who just pop out babies with minimal effort and fund fertility treatment for those of us who are having difficulties. It would be bound to increase the population. OMG that sounds so bitter doesn't it. Sorry if I just offended anyone. I'm sure the injections must be far better than just taking clomid so don't worry about skipping that step, and clomid makes many women moody so you aren't missing anything there. I'm sure you will have a successful pg soon.... fingers crossed it will happen this month.
I'm pretty sure I O'd today - CD13 - my skin has broken out, I had a higher temp and I had cramps last night then lower back pain this morning. Just as well I got lucky last night... my DF's illness had improved just enough for us to manage it.
Sorry no time for other personals. I hope everyone is doing well.
I have just realised that my big personals post I did yesterday has disappeard, grrrrrrrr. Oh well, will try and do them again, but I apologise to anyone I miss
megsmum got a +ve (not a true one though) yesterday and had some excellent EWCM so I am pretty certain that I am 1 dpo today. It really is horrible when our bodies do what they like, and it is definitely stressful, hang in there, and hopefully your OB will be able to put your mind at ease. saltprincess think I am going to have to do a lot of sweet talking to DH tonight, I only JUST managed to convince him on Wed night LOL. I seem to notice a lot more pg women too and feel so jealous. Fantastic news about the clot being gone, fingers crossed that you end up with your +ve this cycle. Leyla I am completely over the OPK's, and if i'm not pg this cycle, I really don't think I will bother with them any more. Great news about the coverline too. SallyJ I only ever get internal CM, it is very very very rare for me to get any when I wipe. satya Hope you managed to get some BD action before O (just read ahead and found out you did ) lets hope you caught that egg. Oh, just realised, I am certain that I O'd yesterday too, so that will make us cycle buddies. *las* hope the clomid works for you first go, good luck
sarah066 glad to hear that you have got an appt with an OB, and I am sending you a heap of sticky vibes. Bun I am getting so excited for you (and nervous for you too) I really do hope that all the injections pay off for you and they weren't for nothing, it is complete daylight robbery the amount of money some of these OB's/FS charge. I have everything crossed for you for Tuesday. BekZ hi, thanks for popping in, i'm doing ok, managed to BD 3 days before, and the day before O so lets hope we caught the it must be hard trying not to worry, but I know that I will be worrying with my next pg. You had bleeding with your other M/C's didn't you?
As for me, I am fairly certain that I O'd yesterday, got some great EWCM just hope that dh's spermies found their way to my egg since we only BD 3 days before and the day before O. Please, everyone keep reminding me that I said I wasn't going to test until 14dpo because I know that I am going to get the urge well before then LOL
Salt - great idea about the positive visualisations. I hope that goes well for you.
Sharon - it will be great to have u as a cycle buddy.
Bekz - with all the positive vibes being sent your way everything is sure to go well this time.
I'm feeling really positive about this cycle. Yesterday I saw two rainbows and I think this is a great omen seeing that I think I O'd yesterday & my ticker is a rainbow. We don't see too many rainbows around Melbourne these days due to lack of rain so it's got to mean something, surely.
FF had originally given me a coverline on CD10 but I felt this was wrong. My temp had only gone up by .1 for a few days but it shot up today so it has now taken it away. I'm feeling confident that in a couple of days it will show my O day as yesterday.
I've made an appointment to get a blood test on CD21 to get my hormone levels checked. I am going to a different doctor at the same clinic that I normally go to. My DF says she's a great doctor so I guess I will see next week.
Fingers crossed that you got an egg this month Sharon. I am a big believer in not testing too early...so stay strong lovey. Last pregnancy I had spotting all the way through every few days until I had an u/s at 9.5 wks and it confirmed that the bub died at 6.6wks. So far (touch wood) no spotting for me this time, but now I am worried about the 12wk scan and having no heart beat. You know how we ladies who have had a m/c think....always the worst.
Satya - Good to see that you are positive atm and all the best.
Looks like I will be popping back in here in around 10 to 14 days to see if we have any
What a bummer! I'm just getting to the stage where I've got no idea what's going on with my cycle anymore, and its really starting to p!$$ me off. I thought that after an early miscarriage that things would get back to normal pretty quickly??
. The 1st was a miscarriage definitely, the 2nd I'm certain was another (32 days) but didn't confirm it with a HPT, and this last cycle lasted for 28 days. My normal cycle is 24 days and was for months before we started to TTC so I don't know if I've had a chemical pregnancy this month or just a wierd cycle. I did a HPT on day 27 and it was neg, but I've had sore boobs for about a week (which I never get) still have them on CD2. This is really driving me nuts - I'm just about over all of this TTC business! And it's still another week until my appointment to see my OB - God only knows what he'll say about it all!
(for some reason, can't find the pink dust but sending that too!!!)
) lets hope you caught that egg. Oh, just realised, I am certain that I O'd yesterday too, so that will make us cycle buddies.
it must be hard trying not to worry, but I know that I will be worrying with my next pg. You had bleeding with your other M/C's didn't you?
