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...

[Tanya]

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...

Tanya

[Anila]

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.

[Inanna]

He is a lovely man Cherished - very kind and compassionate. Also thorough...

[Tanya]

Awww Lisa, you poor thing. You sound like a big knot.... Maybe try and get some alone time and have a nice warm bubble bath with a bit of lavender. I hope the spotting knicks off very soon!!

Hi ladies

Well Im home, in bed and feeling like crap but that's to be expected. They didnt give me any news or details so don't know whats going on.

The gyne asked whether im close to ovulation time and I said pretty close, and she asked whether we "did anything" about it and I said, no I didnt think it was going to matter because I thought I was having a d&c, and she said "we'll only take a small strip of uterine tissue for testing so you can still try this month, if you want to BD tonight you can but you just might be a little sore."

I came home and Ive had a snooze and some couple of sips of water and I had to pee so i thought "might do a POAS OPK" because I think I am about cd 11 or 10 and there was a positive there I tested yesterday and it was negative and todays is only a smidgen lighter than the control line and Im expecting the pos tmo so we're able to try!!! We wont until tomorrow night though, DH is away tonight and I wouldnt want to anyway because I do have a little bit of bleeding

Im SO happy we can try!!! I asked DH does he want to try and he said enthusiastically "yeah!" so we're going to!

Thanks for your well wishes everyone, sorry for no persies, Im going to watch some sex & the city and zone out. Im feeling good except for the shoulder tip pains

Lots of love x

[Razzberry]

Hey Coco, Just wanted you to know I've been lurking and wanted to say I hope they can give you some answers after today! Yay for the pos OPK! xox

[Tanya]

Yay Coco!! So glad everything went ok. I hope you catch the egg!!

[Sunbeam]

Coco- I'm so happy for you that you get to try this month , such a good sign with all the ewcm too. Hope you are not too sore and results are all good when you get them back Enjoy your chill out night.

Erybery- I was going to pop over to PAML to ask about your clomid experiences. I have decided that if I'm not UTD this time I will take it next cycle but FS now wants me to take 100mg as 50 and 75 did nothing for me. What dose were you taking if you don't mind me asking? Also when it does work should I expect to o much earlier? My other concern is the overy pain which I now get EVERY month since taking it last time, did you get that? I mentioned it to FS but he did not seem too concerned and said he'd be happy to US my ovaries at the time to check they are okay.

afm- I'm off clothes shopping (yuck) as my porno bbs now only fit in 3 of my work tops !!! Maybe they are a good sign, but having sort of crampy feelings too so maybe just af on the way!

[Cherished]

Hi erybery my lovely how are you ging hon?

Coco that's fantastic news!!!!!!

Sunbeam Porno boobs

Tanya what could that yuck taste be from? Are you on meds?

AFM I am still bleeding (light today) so I really think a D&C will be on the cards for next Friday... I am looking forward to seeing the OB and asking about other tests etc to see why I have had these miscarriages. We will also be getting dh's swimmers tested on Monday so we will have the results for our visit Wed along with a long list of questions!

[Sunbeam]

Good morning girls,

I have decided not to test today as I'm pretty sure a/f is on her way so if she's not here by sunday when I catch up with donor daddy i will test then.

Cherished- I can't take credit for the "porno boobs" term, someone said it on her last month and I thought it was hysterical I hope the bleeding settles down and you don't need a d&c. Hopefully OB will shed more light on it all on wednesday.

Coco- I hope you are feeling good today and not too sore to bd to catch your egg

Anila-I sorry to hear your body still causing you worries. Have they done bts to see if the spotting is hormone related? Maybe low progesterone or something like that? I hope you can find the answer and put your mind at rest.

Tanya- I hope the yuck taste is a good sign we are due a few more BFPs they seem to come in clumps.

Ferrals-any news on your probe yet?

Zstar-thinking of you and hoping you are not stressing too much. Its so sad we can't enjoy our early pg now the way we should because of what we've been through. Really hope this one is a sticky stayer. I hope your gf's egg transfere goes well and you can be pg together.

Hello all my other BB friends hope you have a great friday, bring on the weekend

[Tanya]

Cherished, a metallic taste in the mouth can be a pregnancy symptom, I had it with all my pregnancies...

SB, I hope you feeling that AF is going to turn up ends in a BFP... Fingers crossed!!

I really wanna test!! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna! I wanna!
LOL.... That didn't help much but maybe you can talk me out of testing!! I am only 6DPO!!

[Cherished]

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

[milly5]

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!

[maddison]

Milly5 - Wishing you all the best. Thank you for being so supportive and sharing your journey with us. I hope to see you back here sharing your BFP news very soon.
