    Morning Ladies

    Welcome sunshine6 so sorry you had to join us ! I hope you can find some comfort in here talking to all these lovely ladies all of us with a sad loss and all trying to get a big BFP. Some have been in here a while some stay only a few months but we all try to help in any way we can so ask away and hope we can help you on your journey

    Ferrals oh the suspense fingers crossed for you girl not much longer now only another week of waiting ! I am trying not to think about it but the fact you are nearly the same day testing as me HOW CAN I FORGET !
    Thanks for the reassurance I am waiting to get an appointment at the Pivet clinic so hopefully not too long a wait !
    My results are as follows but mean nothing to me and my GP didn't seem too clued up either he just read the ( borderline levels which are suggestive of early perimenopause )
    here goes anyways maybe you know more On day 14 of my cycle the results were,
    Follicle stimulatin Hormone 17 IU/L
    Luteinising Hormone 14 IU/L
    Estradiol 159 pmol/L
    Progesterone 2.4 nmol/L

    Means nothing to me and also I don't know if I will be on a 28 day or 32 day cycle so it may not be the middle day iykwim, My follicle was 11mm but they didn't say how many I had in the ovary so I guess I will have more tests at the fs who can tell me my egg reserve and also DHs sperm count ! seems we have come full circle after 21 yrs !

    SPfairy glad your doing well, Dory you had a lovely day yesterday so quiet and thinking of your little girl how sweet you are glad it was not too painful for you !

    sunbeam seems your getting stronger by the day good on ya girl !
    Murraycod you feeling anything as yet ! signs of AF or a big fat BFP you never know ! if you and ferrals move over to the BBuddies together oh how I want to come toooo !

    wouldn't that be something !

    Hey Crafty,
    Without looking at my old bt sheets I can't comment on your levels but I do know that by the time you o your follie needs to be about 18-20mm thats when it is considered ready to go. I can't remember how fast they grow but I can check that for you too. Either way if your follie was only 11mm you where not mid cycle ie not near to O day. Hope that helps as it may explain the low levels somewhat.

    Sunshine - oh my sweetie - I am so sorry for the loss of your little man. You are not a failure, absolutely not!! Although I know how you feel, but be gentle on yourself and don't blame yourself. The loss of your little boy is a sad and heartbreaking tragedy.

    Wow, at only two weeks in, your pain must still be so raw an overwhelming and you must still be trying to see through a constant stream of tears. It does change, and in time the tears do stop being so constant. I remember being afraid of what I might do and how I would cope once the tears stopped. I actually found a lot of comfort in the tears because it meant I was still close to and remembering my babies. I was honestly really frightened of not crying. I managed to find a way through that.

    Go gently, this journey you are now on, is one of the hardest, if not the hardest. Give yourself time to heal, but if you get really scared, ask for help.

    Stay and lurk as much as you need to in here, and when you can post. Know that we all in here, know your pain and the tough tough journey you are on now. Altough each of our journey's are different they are also similar. Don't be a stranger.

    AFM - thankyou so much for all your kind words of support. I actually have such a sense of peace today and I am just so overwhelming proud of my little girl and of DH and I. Not that we are "through it" but we have survived and grown in our love for each other and our angel babies.

    I'll write more later, just wanted to touch base. Take care.

    Sunshine Darling, welcome to BB.
    I am so sorry for your and DH loss of your little one. It reassures me though, that ladies like you, all of us, can find BB, have a lurk for a while and feel comfortable enouth to join in XXX
    Sorry you have to join this part of the forums, but so happy to help share your journey through this tough time.
    We are all here for you, we all have good days and bad, but the support is always constant XX

    Ferrals, as you know my IVF clinic is in Adelaide, 5 1/2 hr drive, and they let me get my bloods and scans done here where I live, hope that can be an option for you. Working shift work is always hard to juggle I know!X Sooo testing Monday huh?!? Fingers crossed for you my Darling XXXXX

    Dory, so glad to hear that you got through these past few days with comfort and a few cuddles on the couch XXXX

    AliCat, I hope that your endometrium becomes nice and thick for you naturally. Whats a few more needles I know, but would be nice if the O'l reproductive system got something done like it is supposed to!!!!
    Hey we may be pretty close to eachother getting out FET done, I try not to think about mine too much because I know the 50% thaw rate, but I dunno, something has to go right for me at some stage !!

    TTCALC, I have a better idea!!! Lets find a cure for Misscarriage and we can close this thread altogether!!
    If I could save one girl from going through what we all do, I would.
    I hope you are feeling well, and not too cold over where you are!XX Hows the snow? Stopped yet?XX

    Jahzara a few of my mates went to see Acadacca in Melb, they loved it!!
    Sorry you got AF, but glad she stayed away for the most of your time away XXX

    Crafty, me not that much help with levels and stuff XX
    But so glad that you are finally up and running to get things hurried up!!XX
    You can ask for what is called an 'Egg Timer Test', they fo it at most FS clinics that I know of, it would definatelly give you some clear answers on how many eggies you have left, and how healthy they are X

    Sarahrach, I have heard of a CL cyst 'annoying' the ovulation of an egg, but not sure it can prevent it, not sure. Heres hoping you are having late O pains.

    Sunbeam, Kirsten, SnugglyBean honey, Ric, everyone I missed, XXX

    AFM, nope no signs of anything for me, other than a few cramps, couple decent mood swings, and feeling just plain lazy and unmotivated, no idea when AF will show up. I am hoping either never, or on time! Never know, .0000000000000000000001% !

    Ferrals thanks for the info it was as clear as MUD ! no really I get the just of what your saying but because its day 14 of my cycle I have no idea what they should have been also I think i only ovulated on friday as I had clear cm and bad pain in my right side (hopeing it was anyways ) That would have been day 17
    Got an appointment for friday next week but as its day 29 for me don't know whether to change it to the next week or not ! part of me wants to keep it and part says wait,
    I feel a bit guilty as its going to cost quite a bit of money and I know my kids could do with me spending it on something else like saving for a swimming pool when our house is finished but I feel as if this is my last chance or do I go through the rest of my life miserable because I never gave it all the effort and help I needed !


    One more question I have been very wet down below and creamy white not itchy or anything so I know its not thrush but never had this before ,any ideas ? Also a bit crampy so I have no idea what going on with me anymore !

    Everyone else hope you had a good day Murraycod I feel exactly the same as you very unmotivated and lazy but the washing keeps coming and the kids need feeding so I best kick myself up the butt and get on with it ! This weather makes us lazy 38 here today and in the 40s the next few days ( thanks goodness for aircon ) doesn't help me in this weather as I am never sure if I am getting hot flushes or if its the weather
