    OK, the OB called me back at like 6:30 tonight (bless him) Flowerchild if you are reading James Orford is such a lovely man! He said that I will most likely need a D&C as left over tissue is really the only reason for bleeding so long... The earliest I can get to see him was Tuesday but I can't make it until Wed so I will see him then and most likely have a D&C next Friday..... I'll keep you posted...

    Good on you Ferrals for saying something. Some people just dont have a clue. I cant believe people knowingly put their unborn babies in harm like that. I can just imagine the look on her face but i bet she didnt go home and stop drinking and smoking!

    Coco - your in my thoughts today. I hope it all does well and you arent feeling too uncomfortable afterwards. I have my fingers crossed for some positive news for you. And also wanted to say how good it is that you are taking a step forward and getting the testing done.

    Cherished - Hopefully a d&c will get you back on track and it wont be long before you are posting your BFP on here.

    Zstar and our other BFP buddies - How are you all feeling? Can we have an update?? I hope everyone is feeling sticky and well!!

    Sunbeam - I have my fingers crossed for an early BFP from you tomorrow morning.

    Anila - Where are you up too? I hope you are feeling well.

    Big hellos to Joshsmum, toomanyshoes, Sunny09, Tanya, eliselouise85, TinaR, SammyP.... and anyone i have missed.

    AFM - Im alive, I have a wonderful husband, a gorgeous puppy ( she's 16 years old ) and im thankful for my life... and its almost the weekend! A few things i want are missing but life is good so im happy.

    hi everyone

    firstly good luck with everything today coco. i set a reminder on my mobile so i didn't forget. i am thinking of you

    still have everything crossed for sunbeam & anila!!!

    hello to all you other amazing women out there.

    afm - i have been trying to keep things real and business as usual. of course i am over the moon but trying not to get out of control! weird feeling. dh has put his foot down and we are not to tell anyone this time - only my mum. last time we told everyone and i don't think he coped very well when we m/c having to send the word out. i don't feel pg. i will only be 4 weeks on saturday so it is sooooo early. i have done 2 tests and both bfp so that is good. seeing my gp on monday for bt. it is all sooo different to the 1st time. i feel very confident this one will stick. i never knew that we could m/c numerous times until i joined this forum. it has really opened my eyes. my gf has her egg transfer at 7am this morning so i have everything crossed for her too. 3rd time lucky for her i say!

    hi maddison. your positivity always shines through. big hi to sunny09, eliselouise, sammyp, toomanyshoes, tinar, tanya and josh's mum and anyone else i may have missed. i have been lurking and not posting.

    enjoy your thursday...

    Hi All,
    Ferals, I can only imagine how good it felt to say what you did to that woman.... (((hugs)))

    Melissa, sounds like you are in a good place right now I am sure it won't be long until you have even more to smile about

    Cherished, that sucks about the prolonged bleeding. I really hope your cycle gets back to 'normal' soon.

    Not too much to report here.... I have a bit of yuck taste in my mouth.... not sure if it's due to obsession or something else, LOL.... Other than that, just plodding along...

    hey everyone

    coco, good luck today hun, i know i said it on fb, but i hope all goes well for u, and im off to the shops to get ingredients for ur cookie recipie, so ill let u know how it all turns out.

    cherished, im soo sorry u are still having issues since the mc, but the dr sounds lovely and i hope having a d & c will make ur cycle retun back to normal.

    Anila - Where are you up too? I hope you are feeling well.
    well i am now cd25 and am still spotting have been since cd22, on cd23 i thought af was comming but it didnt, and spotting went light again.
    I highly doubt it has to do with the mc, as i have since ttc the last 7 and a bit months, had some kind of spotting in each cycle.
    This however is the second time this cycle.
    I looked at my diary to see what the excat cds were that i have spotted on to compare with my angel baby, and i spotted on cd 13/14 with angel baby, got faint bfp on cd31, this cycle i have spotted cd14 to cd16 and again cd22 to now.
    I have had low line cramps like af ones but not as severe, and weird stabbing all over my tummy, i have sore boobs and a metalic taste in my mouth. But i had a metalic taste before af last cycle, so i dont hold too much on that being a sign.
    I tested on cd 22, of course bfn, its way too early.
    I am too scared to see a bfp this cycle, with all this spotting, im afraid it will end in a mc again.
    I doubt it is implantation, although in 7 pregnanys i have never had it before, in 4 of thoose 7 i had early trimester bleeding, 2 of thoose ended in a mc, so i wouldnt even know what implantation should look like.
    I thought maybe pre o spotting, but i thought i had already o, and if it is then i havent dtd enough this cycle.

    gee look at me rambling on.
    im almost in tears, im so stressed, anyway thanks for listening its good to get it of my chest, hubby doesnt quite understand.

    Sunbeam... Ahhhhhhhhh so you dont' have porn on the brain heheheh, this whole thread has gone to the gutter since I have been gone

    Tanya I had to laugh at your post DON'T TEST (Did that help)??????? NO, I didn't think so I find if I am tempted I get out the old trick like put the wedding ring on a peice of string and do kinesiology with it or get dh to muscle test my arm to see if it gives a yes or no to being pregnant hehhehe, it's more fun and doesnt' cost any money

    Hi ladies,

    I just wanted lo let you know that I will be taking a break from BB and TTC for a while. I had my Dr appt yesterday, and found I have thyroid problems, which explains the problems with getting pg, and then not being able to sustain it.
    I am on some meds, which although I should feel the effects beginning to work in a few weeks, won't really have fully kicked in until about 3 months.
    So we will be having a bit of a break. We'll still be BD, and I still have to take my temp (my BBT should increase several degrees overall and I need to montior this), but I won't be using fertility monitor or OPKS etc. Basically I will TRY not to be obsessing about it as much.
    Although it might take 3 months for the meds to have fully kicked in I just may concieve before then, but if I'm not trying, then it will be a nice surprise.

    I hope that when I do come back, my stay will be short, and the board will be full of new ladies because you will all have moved over to PAML and I will catch up with you there.

    Hi Sunbeam - I think I was on 50mg (it was 1 tablet a day). I was lucky the drug worked first time. It made me ovulate on day 14 or 15. I was in agony the night I ovulated so I thought that it had got my eggs going! (not the most romantic night for concieving but did the trick!) My Gyn said it was normal for me to have bad pain at ovulation time as I have PCOS. I was put on clomid as after I came off the pill I had annovulatory cycles of 72 and 60 odd days! Then the following cycle I fell preg naturally but that was when I lost my Bub. I honestly think my hormones were so out of whack and thats why I M/C. After the D&C In Oct I didn't get AF or ovulate so in late DEC /JAN my gyn put me on the mini pill (for a week) to induce AF. It was then that I started the clomid. He wanted me to have AF before starting the clomid so that I would have shed the lining after the D&C. I also had a blood test on day 21 to see if I had ovulated and then I did a test 10dpo and got my BFP. I know how lucky I am for it to have worked first time especially since I NEVER seem to ovulate. Im pretty sure my gyn told me that if the clomid makes you ovulate then it should happen around day 14, as its stimulating your ovaries from day 3. I hope this helps. Please don't give up hope. I know how incredibly frustrating it can be, its hard enough TTC without any fertility probs or prior losses. I wish you all the best. Let me know how you go. I lurk in this thread often as some of my previous Belly buddies are in here and I know the pain they and all of your are going through and I was an active member in this thread after my loss and I loved the support I got!

    Cherished - I'm well lovely, everything is going along nicely at the moment (thank goodness), still finding it hard to believe its real but gettig much more excited and relaxed as time goes on. I really hope your bleeding stops soon so you can TTC again and I hope the docs get to the bottom of your M/C's. big hugs!

    afternoon ladie's

    Sunbeam-No i havn't heard anything so i rang them and of course no one is there today i have to ring back monday ARRGGGG!!!!!! But DH and i have decided if they have to move on to D.N.A sequencing we will try natrually until they find it i feel optimistic that 75% is ok odd's and i think the amount of bad luck we have had losing abbi and everything after that went down hill and nothing went our way i feel we have had our bad run and we are due for some good luck the only thing that is worrying me is once i'm pregnant is waiting for the testing and result's at 12 week's but the way i see it i could wait for the pgd ivf and it might not work anyway i have a bit of time my appt is on tuesday and AF is due then so i will see what my FS say's and go from there and thank's for asking i hope your RB dosn't show and you get to test on sunday wouldn't it be nice for those 2 lines to show up while your DD is there with you.

    Zstar-hope you are relaxing and feeling confident this little one will stick.

    Tanya-i also get the metalic yuk taste when i'm UTD hope it is a good sign for you.

    Cherished-how are you feeling today i hope the bleeding is settling down for you and the porno boob's i laughed at that also and i did hear someone else use the term before in this thread not sure.

    Tanya-[DON'T TEST JUST YET !!!!!
    i know you want to but give it a few more day's hope that helped.

    Milly-sorry to hear you have to take a break but i'm glad you now have some answer's i am also having a break until i know what is going on i need to stay here so i have someone to talk to who understand's what i am going through and the support is what is helping me get through each day maybe when you come back i will be starting my pgd ivf and still here so we can support each other.

    To all my other BB ladie's hope you are well

    Well i think i have raved on enough i am feeling good today i went through abbi's things and put them in the the draw's for our next baby i have set up the room so i can go in there when i want to and hope and dream

    Awww Milly At least you have a bit more of a clue as to your ttc issues and possibly why you may have lost you bubbas. I hope you have a great break and I hope to see you back soon.

    Hey there *waves*
    My name is Kyra and we lost our precious bundle last november on our wedding day..

    I was 5 weeks or so but we'd been trying for him/her for over a year before hand ... Me and hubby have a 2.5 yo son and origionally wanted our gap to be less than 2 yrs.. its really hard to go month by month with no results and keep a positive mind.

    Anyway I was hopeing to get to know people in my position so i have someone to relate too..
    I just got my cycle back properly last month *YAYS!* so im hopeing this will be our month.. Its so upsetting watching everyone around me have there kids and tehn watch those kids grow up while i am STILL trying to concieve mine. sometimes it feels like they and i know we will never have ours

    Im guessing this feeling is normal??

    anyway feel free to add me to facebook (my name is Kyra wolfe and dp is azula from avatar on nickelodian (yes im a bit of a child myself he he) if anyone feels the same as me please tell me! its driving me crazy feeling so alone.

    i dont know how to do the lil signature thing so i will just write it at the bottom..

    Me (21)
    DH(22)
    DS (2)
    MC ( 06-11-08)
    TTC again since jan 09

    HOPE THIS IS OUR MONTH

    I spoke to the gynae's assistant and they said they found endometriosis and they cut it all out

    I didnt think about endo and whether I had it but just read up on the signs and I have all of them! Why didnt I think of this??

    Pain may be in any of the following forms:? Period pain ? immediately before and during the period
    ? Pain during or after sexual intercourse
    ? Abdominal, back and/or pelvic pain
    ? Pain with opening bowels, passing wind or urinating
    ? Ovulation pain, including thigh or leg pain [B]<---OMG! I HAVE BEEN WONDERING ABOUT THESE PAINS FOR THE LAST 4 MONTHS!!![/B]

    Bleeding maybe any of the following:? Heavy bleeding, with or without clots
    ? Irregular bleeding with or without a regular cycle
    ? Premenstrual spotting
    Other symptoms may include:
    ? Bowel or bladder symptoms, including bleeding, constipation and diarrhoea, increase in
    urinary frequency or change in your normal function
    ? Tiredness
    ? Mood changes
    ? Bloating
    ? Premenstrual symptoms
    Infertility
    Infertility is present in about 30 per cent of women with endometriosis. It is believed that chemicals
    may be released from the endometriosis cells that:
    ? Interfere with the ability to conceive or
    ? Affect early normal development of the embryo
    In moderate to severe cases, scarring may cause interference with the release of the egg (ovulation)
    and passage of the egg along the tube because of damage or blockage.
