Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss June 2007

Hi all,

Megsmum - being hungry is a good sign. I'm about 17dpo and tested positive on 14dpo. But a few days before that I suddenly couldn't stop thinking about food and was extra hungry. Fingers crossed for you! I got a bfn on 10 and 12 dpo if that helps you!

Salt - thanks for your good vibes. I'll tell you something funny that my DH would say to me around O time - he said he'd be sending in his "pack sperm" to track down my egg - just used to make me laugh. So I hope your DHs pack sperm get to your egg this cycle!! Pray for you.

Kiwigirl - what dpo are you? I'm about 17dpo today and still only getting a pretty faint-ish line - so hang in there, you're still in with a chance. That was another sign for me too - I just didn't feel like AF was on her way, and I also felt hot in the face, like I was flushed, mainly at night.

Bun - I'm sure your little bubba has got a good strong grip on you and won't be letting go for another 8 months OK!! All is going well, hooray!! You have to believe all will be fine, I reckon book your fave OB and put that ticker in place. I don't really have any major symptoms, other than feeling a bit tired, but in the past morning sickness doesn't kick in till about 7 weeks for me. I'm hoping to avoid it this time round. Great result from your blood test - see all is fine!!

Claireabel - it's a good sign to have MS - it'll pass. I ate bagels with peanut butter to curb it!! Whatever works!

Satya - have a great weekend! Hugs.

Sharon - how are you - when are you going to test? Fingers crossed!

Leyla - I didn't have much success with OPKs. I just BD often for a couple of weeks!

Hello to everyone else and have a great weekend.

Love Lee xoxo

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't been around much but I am really trying to stop obsessing about the whole ttc business.

Salt I thought my chart was looking really good too until I had the pretty big temp drop this morning, and then spotting this afternoon, didn't even bother testing. Also just to let you know, that since my 1st cycle after the D&C I have been O'ing around CD 14 when I was like you and wouldn't O normally until around CD 21 so maybe the m/c have done something to our hormones.
Bun your BT results sound excellent and I think that you can start to get a little excited, and like you said if it doesn't work out this time (but I have a good feeling for you with this pg) you can keep trying and you will get your baby one day.
Lee didn't bother testing today as my temp took a dive this morning and then started spotting this afternoon, starting to get a little depressed about it all really.

sorry to anyone I have missed, but there are way too many posts to catch up on. Also sorry to all you new ladies, hopefully you won't have to spend too much time in here.

I had my Ob/Gyn appointment today, and he really didn't seem too concerned, and said that I had probably had 2 chemical pg, he is going to give me some blood tests, which I couldn't get done till Monday because one of the tests was for Lupus which apparently is a "special" kind of test that can't be done over the weekend (or something like that) but didn't think he was going to find anything wrong since I have already had 2 f/t pregnancies, he has basically told us to keep 'trying' but if nothing has happened in a few more months then he may consider putting me on HCG or Progesterone. There was one interesting thing that he told me and that was that MOST sperm actually only survive for 24 hours but that the egg lasts for 48 hours, I always thought it was the other way round :dunno: so I really haven't come back from the appointment feeling any better.

And with the spotting, cramping and temp drop today I feel certain that AF will knocking on my door in the next day or so. TTC SUX!

Hi everyone,

I'm not around here much lately - I'm too tired and don't seem to find the time to get on here as much as I use to, which is probably a good thing, as I'm not as obsessed about TTC anymore.

Just wanted to pop in to say congratulations on all the BFP's in here - Claire, Bun, Pash, Lee & Sarah - wishing you all a happy & healthy pregnancy!

Salt - I had a look at your chart, but couldn't tell when you O'd. I can't even understand when I O myself, so sorry that I'm no help! I hope you BD'ed like crazy, so you can tell us about your BFP in 2wks :)

Sharon - just wondering which ob/gyn do you go to? (if you feel comfortable in releasing his name) Hopefully AF won't show up and you will be posting on here in a few days about your BFP :)

I've had AF for 16 days straight, very light thankfully - don't know if my cycle is going crazy again, or if it's because I have had the flu for the last 2wks? I just feel very tired, and drained, and I hope it sorts itself out soon.

Hello to everyone else, and I hope you all get BFP's real soon, and clear out this thread, so I don't have to read too much haha

Hi girls

Mouse, that sounds very promising! good luck visiting the doc on wed, hopefully she'll be able to confirm the bfp for you!

Leyla, i have never noticed spotting around o time but i have heard of it, and i know it does happen. apparently it's the result of the sudden drop in oestrogen just before ovulation, before progesterone has been released to sustain the lining. some girls use this sign as one of their ovulation 'indicators'.

Satya, the time away sounds lovely, i hope you guys enjoy yourselves. i don't know a whole lot about fibroids but i didn't think they could cause m/cs?? i'm not sure, but i know friends who have them and haven't had them removed because they haven't really impacted them badly. in any case, good luck with it all, i've got my fingers crossed.

TimNik, when i first started charting over a year ago i started on day 6, so no, it doesn't matter if you start after day 1. it does take some time to get used to, but once you get the hang of it it's great, i really love knowing what my body's doing (except when it's doing something bad...). i can recommend a really good book on charting if you're interested. Sorry about the termites too - that sounds like hell!!

Megsmum - fingers crossed for you! the hunger and needing to go to the loo are great symptoms. i hope this is your month.

Salt, that's a fantastic temp shift today! i reckon you ovulated yesterday, but i guess time will tell. hopefully your temp stays up there. i hope you start to feel better soon too.

Kiwigirl, have been stalking your chart too :p it's confusing but that rise yesterday has got to be good! it's great that you can't feel AF on her way, only a few more days of waiting.

Bun, you sound like you're in a pretty good place at the moment, considering the huge emotional turmoil that is pregnancy after a miscarriage! your bt results are fabulous. i hope the next couple of weeks zooms past so you can see your little baby at your scan.

Shellbell, i'm sorry AF arrived and for the effect it's had on you and DH. i just wish there was something i could say to make you feel better.

Sharon sorry about the spotting, the first few days of AF are such a downer. it's interesting what your doc said too, but one thing i've found with this whole TTC/pg thing is that everyone, even doctors, seems to have a different opinion. but i always though sperm lasted longer than the egg too.

Hi Belinda, 16 day AF sounds awful. are you taking iron? hopefully it sorts itself out soon, it must be hard to deal with for that long.

i have been very teary lately, last night i just sobbed with the anxiety this pg has caused. and as i write this to a forum full of girls who would love to be pg, i feel enormously guilty, as i know i am very fortunate to be pregnant, but it is just hard to be positive and not worry all the time. i've been snapping at DH all day (he's smart and has gone out for a few hours!) as i dreamt last night that at my scan on tues i saw two heartbeats, but one of them stopped beating on screen while we were watching. then when i woke up this morning my boobs weren't nearly as sore as they have been, so the anxiety/worry has gone into overdrive. the first scan is a few days away now and feel sick at the thought of it. even though my last experience in that room was good (when i saw my baby's heartbeat for the first time) i just can't stop remembering the feeling of being told at my 12 week scan there was no heartbeat anymore.
anyway, sorry to whinge, i don't want to seem ungrateful for what i have been given. i just have to accept that i have no control over this pregnancy and it is a waiting game. in the meantime, i have arrived at the wrong end of a pack of choc orange tim tams...

missbelinda77 had another temp drop this morning and more spotting so I think I am definitely out for this cycle, if DH hadn't been so stubborn around O time then we probably would have caught the egg. My Ob/gyn is Dr Norman Blumenthal, he is a very straightforward man with no pussyfooting around and doesn't 'baby' first time mothers, just tells them how it is which is what I prefer really, he even delivered my gp's wifes babies.
claireabel I am sure that everything will be fine at your scan, sending you heaps of :stickyvibesboy: :stickyvibesgirl:
Salt from looking at your chart today, I would say that O happened on Friday, hope you caught that eggie girl will :crossfingers: for you

I have come to the conclusion that I just want AF to hurry up and get here since the last 2 cycles she has hung around for 6-7 days when pre preg last year I only ever got to medium flow and never really went any longer than 3 days (4 days max) have also noticed that I have started O'ing around mid cycle too since my d&c which I don't mind because I hate waiting for O. It is a cold, wet day here in sydney and I think I will go and snuggle on the lounge with a blanket.

Hi all!

Mouse - Good luck with your appointment next week, hope you get the answers you want, particuarly the BFP! Thinking of you!


Leyla - I don't remember having this much cramping last time, more around the 9dpo mark and that was it. Hope this is a good sign! Already into my 2nd week, counting down fast! A friend recently had spotting when she O'd this month too! Hoping it's a good sign for her...and you too! I don't know that it's common, but obviously not unheard of. Good luck hun!

Satya - Glad you are feeling a little better. Hope a few days here in freezing cold Melbourne does you both some good.

Timnik - I'm no good with this side of things, but maybe a bit too late to start temping now :( I've been using mayby baby OPK's and HPT's for a while now and found them to be pretty reliable. Hope it works for you!

Megsmum - We are about the same stage this cycle! I'm 8dpo now. Hoping those little signs are what turns out to be a wonderful positive! Good luck!!

Salt - sorry hun, you aren't feeling well again :( Hope this doesn't affect your chances. Hope you are feeling better real soon.

Bun - You're results are amazing! Congratulations! Fabulous news!! Hope things continue on this way!!

Sharon - glad your appointment went well. A friend of mine had 2 successful pregnancies then later found out she had Lupus (which I have also been tested for!), so it is possible, even though it can make things hard (lets hope its not that anyway!). Hope you get some answers, the not knowing is so frustrating. Let us know how the tests go!

Belinda - Hope you are feeling better soon! 16 day AF sounds awful, and would be enough to make you feel exhausted.

Clairabel - Good luck with your scan, hoping all is fine and helps ease your anxiety.

Hi to everyone else!

I'm 8dpo, feeling a little crampy but nothing else that jumps out at me (or that I think 'may' be there but it's really my mind working overtime!). Otherwise I feel fine! Trying to keep busy and hope the next few days fly by!

Claire - don't feel guilty about sharing with us your thoughts. I am sure that noone here would begrudge you for being pregnant. Plus you are experiencing all the fears and doubts that we will or have gone through. I hope you are feeling better and good luck with the scan, I can't wait to hear the positive results, and hopefully you will feel a little bit relieved? Ps..what I really want to know is, when did they invent choc orange tim tams? yummmmmmm

Sharon - I haven't heard of your ob/gyn - but it must be good to have one that tells it how it is. I cancelled my appt that I was suppose to have in mid May as I am over dr's, and i am procrastinating about whether I should go back to him, or find another one. I hope you stayed snuggled up inside today, it was a miserable kind of day for doing anything and hopefully AF will show up and put you out of your misery. *hugs*

Lisa - thanks for your well wishes, AF is still with me so I have no idea when it will stop and when I will O, oh well :( I hope the TWW flies by for you and you get a BFP!!

*las* I have heard of lupus just don't know anything about it, will try and do some googling before I get my results back, which apparently take about 5 weeks!
missbelinda77 my ob/gyn basically does the Western Sydney area and has rooms at Blacktown hospital and Baulkham Hills Private hospital. AF turned up this morning.

Well everyone I am now back to CD 1, the good thing is that since I have been O'ing ealier since D&C I will be due to O on a Fri, Sat or Sun night so I hopefully shouldn't have any problems getting DH to BD with me, anyway, will probably check in again after my tests tomorrow. Enjoy a nice lazy sunday everyone.

Sharon - Sorry that AF is here :( but at least you can get on with this cycle and plan when to tie your DH to the bed ;)

Hello again! Still not eligible to be back in this thread but wanted to stick my head up to say hello (yep, I have been lurking) to you all.

Belinda: Don't know if you got my email - so sorry again for my terribly tardy reply! I'd love to catch up with you next time you're in the Riverina :D Hope you are starting to feel a little better.

Sharon: Sorry to hear AF has arrived for you (wish she'd come my way) but having O day on Friday/Saturday/Sunday sounds great to me! And snuggling up on a wet day sounds like a lovely place to be. If you could send some of that rain out west, that would be brilliant!

Las: Good luck, sweetie! Those symptoms are sounding good. Not long to wait now!

Claireabel: IKWYM about the anxiety. Hugs to you and wishing you lots and lots of *sticky vibes* - drink glue if you have to! I have everything crossed for you for your scan and beyond!

Lee: Sending you *dark-no-mistaking-I'm-up-the-duff* second lines on your HPTs! When are you going to the doctor's? Lots of *sticky vibes*

Salt P: Hope that you are in the TWW and that it flies for you with a big fat BFP at the end of it :pray:

Bun: Woohoo!!!! Great BT results!!! :bellyrubs:

Shellbell: Sorry that AF has been a cow for you - *hugs* for you and your DH. Tell AF she's needed over my way.

Kiwigirl: *hugs* for you. I've got everything crossed for you too for next time. Still hoping to graduate from the Waiting for AF to Arrive After D&C club so that I can join you here - but I won't be upset if I need to follow you over to the PAML thread either!!

Megsmum: Praying for a BFP for you! Have you tested yet? :crossfingers:

And that's as far back as I can go!

Still haven't had first AF since d&c (seven weeks this Tuesday) but had a positive on an OPK on Friday (Yay?) - so looks like AF might be a week and a half away... or not? Bah! Anyway, still hoping to be back in here next cycle with you, my lovely understanding friends! The only upside of this whole ordeal is that I've been enjoying sharing some lovely bottles of wine and bubbly with DP, as well as steaks that haven't been cooked to a cinder and fried eggs with soft centres, the occasional real coffee, take away meals... And the "practice" TTC hasn't been too bad either :p

xoxox

Kerry - I got your email! I'm just about to send one back off to you, so we can meet up on the weekend. Good luck with the +ve OPK, I have a feeling we are going to be belly buddies again real soon.

*sending positive thoughts out to everyone*

Hi everyone,

We had a great (but freezing) weekend at the beach. We went on the ferry and saw two hump back whales & 3 dolphins - it was a very unexpected and fantastic experience. We also had lots of time for just the two of us before DstepD arrives again this weekend.

Las - I hope the rest of your TWW goes really quickly.

Bun - I read in a mag the other day that having 1/2 an apple before you get out of bed, followed by a light breaky and then the other half of the apple has helped several generations of one family through morning sickness. It sounds a bit weird, but I reckon it would be worth giving it a try. Your level seems pretty high.... maybe twins on the way..... Clomid does increase the odds of course, and they say m/s is always worse with a multiple...... i so hope me suggesting this does not freak you out.

KBowman - you can post here whenever you like. The other thread you are on was only created recently. Before it was, those ladies were all posting here and you are all welcome.

Sharon - Sorry AF arrived. Glad your appointment went well.

Miss belinda - have you done a HPT since your AF arrived? The only reason I'm asking is that when I had my firt m/c a decade ago I bled for a couple of weeks from CD28 but I was actually pregnant. I'm particularly saying this as you are saying you are feeling really tired as well and have had flu like symptoms, both can be pg symptoms. Just a thought.

Claire - we will all be as paranoid as you when we are lucky enough to be pg again so feel free to post away.

Timnik - clomid can really mess with your moods so it probably is it that's getting you down. I became a shrew when I was on it, I'm actually quite thankful my specialist didn't suggest it for me this time around as I hated being on it. Good luck with the termites.

Megsmum - good luck with the CD21 test.

:)

CD9 already for me. Has anyone noticed how quick the first two weeks of the cycle go and then how slow the last two seem to go?

Hi everyone, unfortunately I too will be joining this thread soon'ish. DH & I aren't 100% sure when we're going to start again. I need to get my rubella booster this week, then we defintely can't fall within a month after getting that. I'm just sooooooooo cluck at the moment. As soon as I see a newborn, I HAVE to hold them and don't want to let go! And I missing being pregnant big time!! AF is due to rear her ugly head this week for the first time since my m/c. Wish me luck it arrives.

Princess Confused - so sorry to see you in here as well, are you going to start trying again straight away?

:bluedust: to you all

Salt - yes, I have finally tentatively got myself a pg ticker. I just hope I get to keep it til the end this time! Yay on Oing so early - that's great! I think your temps are fine - it's staying above the CL and that's all that matters. I really hope you will be joining us pg girls too! Your timing was great this cycle, so the chances are looking good. I may ph the OB today but am still not sure if I have the strength to do it. DH said he will ph and cancel if we end up needing to, so maybe I will just do it today.

Satya - yay on seeing dolphins and whales! How exciting! I only had one follicle with the clomid, so my chances of twins are the same as anyone elses, but whatever happens is fine with us! I would be very surprised if it was twins, though. I am still getting m/s and have decided I won't have another BT this week, as the stress is just too much. I have symptoms now so as long as they keep up, hopefully all is ok and my first scan will be next week, so I think I will just wait til then.

kerry - glad to see you are enjoying yourself while waiting to TTC again. Sounds like it won't be too long now!

Claire - sorry to hear you sounding so anxious about things - it is only natural for us to feel this way. I still have a cry everyday when I convince myself it is going to die like the other times, and the hormones certainly don't help us to keep a level head! What a horrible dream you had! I still remember vividly my last pg scan and the news I was given, so scans terrify me too. I can guarantee at my first scan I will be crying and will refuse to look at the scan - same with DH, so it is not going to be an enjoyable experience.

Sharon - good to hear that your OBGYN doesn't sound too worried about things. I am confused about the egg and sperm lifetime too - I thought the same as you. Confusing.

Hi to everyone I have missed. I hope you are all going well.

Love Bun

Hello all,

And sorry to our newcomers here, I hope your time in this thread is short, very short.

Bun - all is well with you - hooray!! You will be so relieved when you have had your scan and seen that flashing heartbeat - can't wait for you to report in after that!

Salt - fingers crossed for you this cycle!!!!!! Roll on 2WW, urghhh! :pray:

Satya - glad you had a lovely weekend away from it all, amazing how good that is for keeping down the stress levels.

Jodi - hope AF arrives real quick!!

Sharon - good plan to BD over a weekend, I'm sure you'll catch that next eggie :pray:

Kiwigirl - how are you, have you tested again????

Claireabel - hugs to you during early pregnancy, it's an anxious time.

kbowman - thanks - I've not tested again. But I will soon!!

Hello to anyone I missed.

I'm just gone 5 weeks, still sooooo early days. Not having any symptoms other than feeling tired. I'm going to my GP in the morning. He has been so lovely to me and DH after our baby died, and referred me to a good OB for my postnatal checkup. So, I guess he'll do the blood test and I'll know better where I am at. Hope all is well, I feel a little apprehensive about it. Haven't told anyone except you ladies and DH of course.

Will report back in when I have something to update.

Hugs to all,

Lee xoxo

Hi Everyone,

SP - Yay you got your coverline!!! If you are finding temping too stressful then stop it, or keep doing it but don't read into it iykwim. With my last cycle I paid more attention to ewcm rather than temps. If I had have gone by temps then I would not have fallen pg. Fingers crossed for you hon.

Sharon - Glad to see your doc is doing somes tests.

Hi to everyone else

Hi everyone,

Lee - good luck at the GPs, I'm sure everything will be fine :)

Bun - hope you are going well

Jodi and Princess Confused - hi and welcome! I hope you don't have to hang around in here for too long

Salt - Yay for the coverline! I know its hard, but try not to worry too much about the temps going down, you never know tomorrow they could be back up - says the person whose temps are all over the place!! LOL Mine definitely get wilder the more I worry about it, I think I'll only do it for another couple of cycles and then I'm giving it the flick!

satya - that's great you had a good time at the beach, hope you are feeling nice and relaxed now :) I just love seeing whales and dolphins - we often get them off the beaches here

Kerry - thanks for the well wishes, unfortunately they didn't help because AF arrived yesterday :( but thanks so much anyway :)

Sharon - sorry AF arrived, we can be cycle buddies this month - I am on CD2 today as well. That's good that your OB thought everything was OK too, sounds like pretty much what happened when I saw mine - I think they think that because you already have a child/ren that there's unlikely to be anything wrong - I don't know....but I'm definitely planning on going back in a couple more months if I'm still not PG - this is our seventh month trying now and we're not getting any younger in the meantime

las - thanks for that! I hope you have better luck this month than I have had!

Claire - unfortunately the hunger didn't turn out to mean anything :( maybe it was because of the cold wet weather here over the weekend and last week LOL Oh well....hope you are feeling well

Belinda - hope you are feeling better and that AF goes really soon

Well, as I said above, its CD2 for me today. I am just so OVER TTC it is driving me nuts! Poor DH, he had to listen to me having a hissy fit over it all on the weekend :doh:
I'm just really starting to get worried that it is never going to happen for us, or that it won't happen without some assistance. I'm just so peed off with it all at the moment, I just feel like chucking it in. The only thing that makes me keep trying is that I don't want Megan to be an only child, but gee I wish we'd started our family now when we were younger!

Well, if you've got this far thanks for reading my little ranty.

I hope everyone else is doing well and hi to anyone I've missed.

Yes!!! I got the OB I wanted! I have been so scared about calling, and after getting off the phone I just had a little cry to myself because I am so afraid of having to phone back and cancel soon. He was actually all booked up for Feb (not sure how that is possible but I know he is v popular). Anyway, I asked the lady who else she would recommed and told her my history and she ended up saying I sound so nice that she will squeeze me in!! I am sooooo happy. Maybe this is a sign that things will go right this time? She was soooo nice. I really needed that; I am an emotional basket case right now (on top of the near constant nausea).

Sorry guys for still hanging around here. I just feel so comfy here because I know all you guys and you are so lovely and am afraid to get too used to the pg forums in case I have to leave soon. I promise I will make the move and leave you all in peace soon!

megsmum - sorry to hear that you are feeling over it all. I know that feeling well. You will get there, but it sure does test your patience in the meantime!

Lee _ I am sure all will be fine, but I understand feeling apprehensive! Let us know how the GP goes tomorrow.

Hi to everyone else,

Love Bun

Hi girls

Las - not long to go now!!the cramps are a good sign, fingers crossed for some good news for you soon.

Belinda - LOL about the orange timtams! i saw them in woolies on the weekend for the first time, bought them for a friend in the UK who loves timtams, but had started them before i even left the carpark! says a lot about my emotional state on the weekend...

Sharon, sorry about AF but that's good timing for o this month. when we were ttc last cycle i was terrified i was going to o the night state of origin was on and we'd miss the boat!

Kerry - hopefully you'll be in the 2WW soon. the mention of fried eggs sent me straight to the pantry for a snack - yum!

Satya - the whales and dolphins sound amazing. where abouts were you?

Princess confused, sorry about your miscarriage and d&c. you'll find this place is fantastic for maintaining your sanity during this time and when ttc.

Salt - yay for the coverline! i wouldn't worry too much about a temp drop and you're still well above the line. my good friend stopped temping after o when she was ttc after m/c a few years ago. i was always very envious of her willpower but i know i would cave and temp anyway! i really, really hope this is your month. you're got every chance too, perfectly timed! hope the next 11 days goes quickly.

Jodi, welcome! i understand about you being clucky, you're in the right place! i'm so clucky at the moment, and am just lucky i've got friends with babies that i can see and cuddle and play with. i thought you had to wait 3 months after rubella to ttc - but someone please correct me if i'm wrong. there's so much conflicting info out there.

Bun - cute ticker! did you end up calling the ob today? hope everything is going well for you.

Lee - good luck at the gp tomorrow. i'm sorry you're apprehensive but that seems to be part and parcel of being pg after a m/c. good luck.

Megsmum - :hug: i don't really know what to say, except i hope it happens for you guys soon.

Thanks everyone for being so supportive, at the risk of sounding a bit soppy, it's really touching.

I've got my scan tomorrow and am still extremely nervous, but would rather have the scan than not... because at least i'll know one way or the other. i've had a funny ache today in my back and i'm sure it's nothing sinister but have worried all day anyway.

i told my family on the weekend, i just had to talk to mum about it. we spoke for half an hour on the phone, hung up, then i called back and told her i forgot to tell her i was pg... she was shocked and happy, but i asked her not to get too excited yet, just in case. she was really good. she's had a m/c too and also fell pg right away afterward, so she did a good job of calming me down a bit. my dad and my sister reckon they already knew (sis says she dreamt it and dad said 'male intuition' - ha!!).

anyway, i'll check back in tomorrow after my scan, hopefully with some good news. i don't even know if they'll be able to see a heartbeat at 6 weeks actually. i'm preparing myself for the worst, but also trying to keep positive.

Hello lovelies,

Bun - How exciting that you could get the OB you wanted! Must be fate... I'm sure everything will go smoothly for you this time. Hope that the m/s is not too rough on you.

Las - What day are you planning to test on? Good luck with staying strong!

Missbelinda - Hope that AF stops soon. How frustrating!

Sharon - Sorry that the witch arrived. Hope you are doing ok. How great that you are O'ing earlier though. Nothing worse that having to wait till CD22.

Satya - You are so right about the first part of the cycle... Hope O comes around super fast. Sounds like you had a wonderful weekend. How special to see whales and dolphins!

Princess Confused and Jodi - welcome and so sorry for you loss. Hope your stay here is very quick.

Salt - Congrats on the coverline! Sounds like you hit the nail on the head with BD'ing this month. Keeping my fingers crossed for you! We are almost cycle buddies... I'm on 4DPO. When are you planning on testing?

Bekz - How are you doing? Hope your symptoms are not too nasty...

Lee - Good luck with your appointment in the morning! I'm sure everything will go fine. It's great that your GP is so lovely, makes a big difference.

Megsmum - so sorry that AF arrived. I completely feel your frustration. If only we had known how hard it was to get pregnant and stay that way huh! I honestly did not think that at 28 I would be having trouble getting pg.

Claire - Male intuition... how cute. I love it how people always say they knew! I'm only impressed if they can tell me BEFORE I've told them. Big hugs and well wishes for your scan tomorrow. I'm sure everything will be moving along perfectly!

Well, I finally got my coverline on yesterday so am now 4DPO.
Salt... like you my temp has already started moving south, so I am completely hearing you on the not temping thing. I'm just so worried that I will miss out. Last cycle I got coverlines a 4 separate times during the cycle! ARGHHHH!! Still makes be crazy.
I'm hoping to hold out testing until at least 14DPO, but well see how that resolution goes...

Big hello to everyone else.

love

Bun, such wonderful news, surely it's a good sign that all is going so well.

Hope everyone else is doing well.

Don't think I'll be getting the news I want this week. Got my period on Friday. It was quite heavy, but only lasted about 24 hours?? I'm sure I'll get to the bottom of it on Wednesday.

Hope you all have a great week!

xo

Lee - Congratulations! I am happy for you :hug: Wishing you a sticky sticky baby.

Princess Confused & Jodi - I am sorry for your losses. I hope this forum helps you deal with the difficult time you are going through.

Hi everyone else. Sorry this a selfish post.

I am wrecking myself with anxiety. I went to see the doc today who referred me for an early scan tomorrow. I started having cramps while I was in the doc's waiting room, and then once I got home I spotted twice (two little brown drops, sorry if TMI).

I'm convinced that I'm going to m/c. I feel like I'm to blame cos I couldn't get excited about this baby and therefore maybe didn't love it enough. My head is so messed up. I had a big fight with DH on Sun night, which was so unfair on him. His grandpa died on Sat.

DH & I have been taking turns to get upset & comfort each other. DH about the death of his much loved pop and me about the impending m/c & my selfishness.

I know they won't find a heartbeat tomorrow (its too early anyway, 6w4d), but I am petrified that I'll lose it before then, or I'll lose it in a hideous mess in the waiting room or they'll tell me for sure that its not viable.

I might be joining some of you on the Waiting for AF thread soon. Is it too pessimistic to start a Waiting for M/C thread?

Oh Pash... big hugs to you honey. I'm keeping you in my prayers and hoping for the best for you. Spotting is not always a bad sign... try to keep positive (hard I know). We are all wishing you the best. Good luck with the scan.

Hi everyone,

Pash - You poor thing, it can't be good feeling like you are. I'm sorry but I can't remember what your history is, but just remember that most women have successful pregnancies after a m/c so the odds are probably very good that all we be OK this time. Good luck with the scan, and try not to stress when you don't see a heart beat, remember it is very early so it's not likely to be there.

Mouse - sorry our AF arrived. I hope this cycle is a more successful one for you.

Megsmum - I think the doctors are less likely to intervene early when you already have a child as they don't see it as urgent. Also most doctors will not act until you've had 3 m/c and that's because one or two are so very common. I think I'm only getting such action because of my age and not having had any kids of my own.

Claire - We were on the Sorrento to Queenscliff ferry when we saw the dolphins and whales. Dolphins are there regularly but it's pretty unusual for whales to be around at this time of year. We only went on the ferry on a whim when we drove past it, and just got on as it was leaving so I think it was meant to be.

Lee - I'm glad all is well with you.

Welcome Princess & Jodie - I hope your stay in this thread is a short one.

Salt - If you are not 100% well your temps can be all over the place.... like mine was last cycle when I had a cold.

Bun - Great news that you got in to the OB that you wanted. It's also good news that there was just the one follicle as that's makes it very likely that it's just the one bub in there and it is clearly thriving with results like that. I'm so paranoid about multiples as when I was scanned last I had two follicles and that was without clomid.... but that is just one of the downsides to ttc later in life like I am.
:)

Well it's CD10 for me today. I've started taking evening primrose oil this cycle and am having a daily dose of full cream icecream. Both are said to help with fertility, in particular fertile CM so here' s hoping it will help. If it doesn't at least I will have had a nice dessert each day. I'm trying to lose weight seriously now as I know IVF has better success rates in women who are within the healthy BMI. I haven't worked mine out but I know I wouldn't be in the healthy range. I'm 79 kilos and only 5 foot 3. In my estimation I need to lose at least 10 kilos - probably more like 15-20. I've lost 2 kilos in the past three months so if I keep going the way I am it would take forever to lose what I need to. So from today onwards it's healthy food for me.

Sorry to anyone I've missed.

pash - thinking of you heaps. xx

I'm so busy at the moment I need some proper time to catch up with everyone's messages.. just a quick note to say AF came and it was way more like normal than last time (mainly just spotting) so I definitely feel like my body needed another cycle to get back to normal. Plus (TMI) two tiny pieces of tissue came out which was another sign to me that I needed another cycle. Going away for a long weekend around O time so fingers crossed this month.

Hi all!

Sharon - so sorry hun that AF arrived :( Praying that this will be your month.

Kaz - thank you! Yay for the positive OPK, that's sounding really positive! Maybe you won't need to wait for AF ;-) Fingers crossed!

Satya - Sounds like you had a fantastic weekend! How cool seeing the whale! What ferry did you go on?? I totally agree, why do the first 2 weeks fly by, and how sucky the last two take so long!! CD 9 already! Hope the break away was just what you needed for this cycle!

Princess confused - so sorry for your loss hun. Hope you don't need to be here for too long.

Salt - I too get very confused with FF, so can offer you no advise, sorry! Hope that it really doesn't mean anything! Good luck! 3 days to go for me! Trying VERY hard not to test early, but I know I probably will :)

Jodi - welcome, but so sorry you are here :( I also hope your stay is short.

Megsmum - I'm so sorry AF arrived already :( It's so defeating.

Bun - so pleased you got the OB you wanted! Love having you here still, so don't worry about that! (but do hope that you have to leave us and enjoy a nice healthy pregnancy!)

Clairabel - Good luck with your scan!! I'm sure all will be going along perfectly! Look forward to hearing how it goes!

Leyla - Oh congrats on the coverline! Good luck to you! Hoping this is also your month!!!

Pash - Really hoping the cramping is nothing to be concerned about and your scan goes well. Thinking of you xx

I had the biggest scare on Sunday. Went to the toilet and when I wiped there was blood. Straight away burst into tears and told DH AF was coming a week early (this happened on my last natural FET). I went 3 more times and each time there was pink blood (and LOTS of CM). Last time I went it had stopped, and I've not had any since, but lots of cramping. And lots of CM. Hoping like crazy it's a good sign of implantation bleeding, although the cramping is intermittent, it feels more like AF coming, so a bit confused! BT is booked for Friday morning, and trying to hold off testing early, but know that I probably will tomorrow or thursday!

Hi to everyone else!

:hello:just dropping in I'm so sorry for your loss Princess confused & Jodie sending lots of :stickyvibesboy::stickyvibesgirl: your way. I hope everyone gets an :bfp: pretty soon :grouphug: is what we all need at this moment.

:angel: Jan 3, 2007.
twenty weeks
We miss him and love him with all our hearts.

Hi all,

Pash - how are you???? Any news, hopefully NOT. I'm praying that you are fine. One of my best friends is 18 weeks pregnant and has spotted every other week from week 5 of her pregnancy. It's not uncommon, but you could do without the extra worry. Praying that your scan went just fine, please check in with us. Hugs.

:)

I just came back from my GP. He's a nice bloke, but doesn't think I need to see the OB till week 12. My blood pressure was fine, as it's been pretty high, so good to know that's settled down. I can't recall if I've had blood tests done now, but he didn't deem them necessary - does this sound right to you ladies? So, it seems it's a case of "sit it out" till I see the OB in another 6 weeks. I don't have any history of miscarriage, so hopefully that won't change. I am feeling a bit anxious, as after loosing a full term babe, I'm now finding myself thinking so much more about "what could go wrong". I guess there's not much I can do but take the best care of myself as possible, and think positively, and hopefully at my 12 week check-up I'll get to see a healthy little person.

Waiting, waiting, waiting......

Hello to everyone else, sorry for lack of personals, but I'm on the scrounge for food :rolleyes:

Hugs to all.

Lee xoxo

Hello everyone, especially to the newbies hope your stay in here is short and you have good news sooner rather than later.

pash I am thinking of you and sending lots of positive vibes your way. I am sure the scan will be fine. My sister was able to see a heartbeat when she had her six week scan. Fingers crossed it will be the same for you and put your mind at rest.

satya LOL at you talking about your bowl of ice cream every day then saying you are trying to eat healthy! They did an 'experiment' here on the radio a while ago about eating ice cream and how it makes you more fertile, didn't actually hear the results in the end. But if it works, why not? :lol:

kiwigirl Good luck this cycle for a BFP, fingers crossed for you.

las Good luck with your testing when you do, hope it gives you a BFP so we can add another confirmed pg to the list for this month!

lee I think it is pretty normal for you not to have a scan until 12 weeks at least if there has been no m/c history, I would have thought however that they would have sent you for BT? Not sure? :dunno:

clairabel How did your scan go today? All good news I hope!

I am on cd12 at the moment and think that I am about to O soon, seem to have the EWCM happening and a few twinges in my belly which I think could be O pains? Have already started the BDing and will continue for the whole of this week I think (even if it's every 2nd day) just to make sure I don't miss out this month :lol:

The waiting is the hardest part! Feel like I am thinking about trying for a bub all day every day! Anyhow I hope everyone is having a good week.

Hi gals

Pash, are you okay? I'm so sorry you're going through such an anxious time. If it helps, i bled during my last pregnancy - not at all related to the m/c, it was several weeks earlier - and my obs told me that 25% of pg women experience bleeding and the majority of them go on to have healthy bubbas. One of his patients started bleeding at 7 weeks and didn't stop until week 35, then delivered a healthy baby. There are many reasons for bleeding and not all of them relate to the health of the pregnancy.

Brown blood is old blood, so that's good news, and cramps can be an early pregnancy symptom, i have them as i type, promise. I'm sure they will pick up a HB tomorrow but if they can't, ask for an internal scan.

I'm thinking of you, and praying this has a happy ending.

Satya - v jealous of your ice-cream, i might have to get some, it's just what i feel like tonight. i think there's a cough medicine (robitussin maybe) that helps with fertile CM too.

Kiwigirl - sorry AF arrived, but like you said maybe your body is getting ready to welcome a little bundle on your long weekend!

Lisa - i think maybe that's implantation bleeding, doesn't really sound like a normal AF to me. Good luck with the blood tests on Friday, let us know how you go.

Lee - i don't think my GP normally takes blood, she only did this time because i insisted. i understand your anxiety and wish there was a pill we could all take to get rid of it! taking care of yourself and thinking positively sounds like the best plan though. i've been doing my best to think positive and imagining myself seeing a live baby at the 12 week scan, getting big, feeling kicks and holding my new baby. It helps a bit... at least it's something positive to focus on.

TimNik - good luck! i can relate to thinking about babymaking (or babies) all day every day!

Salt, the chart looks fab!! not too long now...

I saw my obs today and it went well. He couldn't pick up a HB at first so had to use dildocam :redface: but we saw the tiny heart, flickering away! i got very emotional, needless to say. He said I was about right with my dates (6 weeks today) and was very reassuring. He told me to come back in 2 weeks so i 'wouldn't have to worry' and told me the stats were in my favour. i know there are no guarantees but i feel pretty comfortable with the whole thing. anxious, but happy.

Hi everyone, Thanks so much for the reassurance. It really did help calm me down, or at least helped me feel like I might still have hope. The cramps have stopped and I've had no more bleeding, but I'm afraid to get my hopes too high.

Claireabel - I am so glad your scan went well. And you saw a heartbeat! How exciting! It really does give me hope (I don't know whether that's good or bad at the moment).

I feel so nervous, like I've got a big job interview coming up. DH is stressed out too, with trying to cope with work, what could go wrong at the scan, putting together photos for his pop's funeral and maybe flying back for it.

Sorry for another selfish drama-queen post. I'll BBL for personals.

Hi everyone, I'm sorry that I haven't posted in a while. We decided to take a much needed mini vacation and went camping for a few days.
Lots of hugs for the new girls, so sorry that you are having to experience such a sorrowful event.
Congrats to all the new preggers! I'm sorry I am new and I'm still having a hard time remembering all your names.
The one name I can remember is Pash. Congrats, and I totally understand how worried you are right now. I wish I could say it will get easier, but it won't. You will worry every step of this pg. But take it from someone who has been there MANY times, try really hard to enjoy every moment you can, because if you don't, and end up having a successful pregnancy, you will feel like you cheated yourself. Also just so you know, your beta numbers (hcg)can determine whether or not you will be able to see a heartbeat. Anything after 4000 you should see a heartbeat. I know that I've seen a heartbeat as early as 5 weeks 3 days, and as late as 7 weeks exactly. So don't give up yet. And yes, BROWN blood is old blood!

Now for my news. I am going in for a beta (hcg) this morning, as I tested this morning and it's positive. I just can't even believe it. It's only been 3 weeks and 3 days since my m/c . Part of me doesn't believe it, it must be leftover from my m/c, BUT i tested every day until I got negative tests three days in a row and then stopped testing. It's been over a week since I tested with a negative and today I tested on a whim and it's a light, but definitely easily visible line. So I'm off to take a shower, adn then go get my blood drawn. I just can't believe with all of our infertility issues that I could possibly be pregnant again so soon!
I'll keep all of you posted.School is out, so my computer time is a bit more limited than usual!
Good luck to everyone else!

Hi everyone,

Salt - I hope your temp stays up and doesn't go down this cycle.

Kiwigirl - Sorry your AF arrived. I think your long weekend could just be the thing that could get you your BFP.

Claire - I tried the cough syrup bu that didn't work for me. I also read that some believe that it can cause birth defects. It must have been a huge relief to see the heartbeat. You are so lucky to have been able to see it so early.

Pash - try not to stress about things as that will do you nothing but harm. It's time for some positive thinking.

Las - Things are sounding very positive. I hope a BFP is on its way to you this cycle.

Lee - I thought basic blood tests were standard after a BFP. I'm presuming the doctor has already done a blood HCG test. If not I'd be going back and asking for one.

Timnik - I need to eat more dairy anyway as once you hit your 40's you have to up it as you are heading towards osteoporosis territory and I don't eat enough of it. I've read heaps of articles that it's only full cream dairy that will aid in fertility so full cream it is. Good luck Oing.

Sandielreese - I hope it's a BFP when you get the blood test results.

:)

CD11 for me now. I've started to notice some EWCM so it looks like either my icecream or evening primrose oil is doing it's job nicely. If I follow my last couple of cycles I will O either on Friday or Saturday. I'm not going to stress too much about it all this cycle, nor til I get my lap done as if it is a fibroid I could well just m/c again. Also if I conceive after another 3 months from now (I think) I would be able to use my long service leave as part of my maternity leave. That could well be worth waiting for... that would allow me to have 4.5 months off fully paid by the time you add paid maternity leave and then my annual leave would stretch it out to around 6 months I think. Look at me.... planning so far ahead..... how's that for positive thinking!

satya - I am so glad to see your positive thinking - that's the way! It is all sounding good, maybe that yummy ice cream has done the trick!

pash - I'm glad to hear the bleeding has stopped. As others have said, it is really common, and all is probably fine. I know how you are feeling right now. I am sooo scared all the time, and I feel like there is so much on my mind there isn't room for anything else. I can't manage anything right now, and there is no much I need to do. I can't even think about my holiday which is only 3 weeks away now, as I am convinced something will happen and we won't even get to go. This sucks!! But we will get through it.

claire - yay on seeing the heartbeat! That's great - it must be so reassuring. Now your odds are really in your favour, after you have seen that little heart beating away. Yay!

sandie - great news! Godd luck on your BT today!

Salt - yay on your chart! I so hope this is the month for you. My first OB appointment is 9 July, only 3 days before our holiday, so I hope I don't get bad news. I will be soooo scared; I have never even been to an OB appointment before, as I didn't have private cover before. I will be so afraid of him telling me it has died again. My anxiety levels are sky high right now. I will definitely be hanging around here for a while yet, I just don't feel comfortable leaving yet. It still doesn't feel real, and it is sooo early anything could happen.

Hi to everyone I have missed. I am still feeling quite nauseous most of the time, and my bbs kill, and I am so tired. I went to bed at 8pm last night! Had the best sleep and I really needed it. How many of you actually threw up with m/s when pg? I haven't been sick, I just feel sick, which was the same with my other pgs and I am wondering if that is ok? As horrible as throwing up is, I kind of wish I would for reassurance! I tend to have a v strong stomach and always have so I don't throw up easily, but it would maybe reassure me that all is ok. I can't even think straight, and am getting nothing done right now. It's like I just can't think of anything except trying to guess when I will find out that this one has died. I am not even excited about my holiday!

Bun - I had ms for 8 weeks with Megan and never threw up once. Mind you I had my head over the toilet bowl a few times! LOL I just had a constant sick feeling (a bit like a hangover) that gradually got worse throughout the day - bah to "morning" sickness!! I wouldn't worry at all about not throwing up as long as you are still feeling sick KWIM?

Well its going to be a selfish post from me today - I got my CD21 blood results back today. The tests for recurrent miscarriage are all OK as are the autoimmune tests. The only problem is I have a low progesterone :( and my ob thinks that I should give Clomid a go. He thinks that I may not be ovulating (although my charts seem to indicate that I am??) or that i am not ovulating "well". I can't start this cycle because its too late (he says I need to take it from CD1 to CD5 and I'm CD4 today) so will have to wait till next month - bring on another short cycle please, please!!

I'm really not sure whether to feel happy that there is something wrong that can be treated, or upset that I probably won't conceive and/or not have another m/c without assistance :( At this stage I am thinking that we shouldn't TTC this month - mainly because I am worried that if we are successful that I'll have another early m/c, and I don't think I can handle that at this stage of proceedings. Also DH has some work stuff that he needs to go overseas for and if he gets it out of the road this month, then we can start trying again next month when I have started with the Clomid.

And obviousIy have got a few questions and worries about taking Clomid as well. I guess once I sort out all my feelings I will post some q's in the Assisted Conception forum.

AAARRRGGGHH, why can't this just be easy!!!

Hello everyone!:D
Things are looking good in here at the moment with all the BFP's and a few of you are in the tww how exciting!
Bun- I am so glad things are going so well for you i am so happy for you! Before you know it you will be watching your healthy baby on the ultrasound heart beating away. How long till that app?

Meg- I am sorry you app wasn't exactlly what you wanted to here but at least there is a plan of action in place:) and that will hopefully bring you a sticky baby!

Satya- I am CD 11 today as well and also noticing the same! I am also doing OPK's and the line is getting darker each day so it cant be too far:crossfingers:
How long till you get your lap done? Hope all goes well!

sandielreese- How great! congrats! Let us know how your bt results go, all bfp's in here are a sign of hope for us all!

Pash- I hope you are feeling better? I know it doesn't help much but many women do spot and I got cramps in both my pregnancies. The fact that both the cramps and spotting has stopped is a great sign! Keep positive for your little sticky baby!


Salt- I have my fingers and toes crossed for you this month! It seems one by one everyone is falling pregers and you are next in line!

Kiwigirl- my body has done exactly the same as yours! I feel so much better since my cycle just finished. I actually had a proper af this time so I know now my body is rearing to go! Hopefully we will all get BFP's this month!

I am finally getting into the swing of things with the TTC and am charting my temps as well as using opk's. So hopefully I will catch the egg this month. I am getting really excited but am worried if I dont how let down I will be, its all apart of the process I guess (and lots of dtd!) ;)

Bun- I have not actually been sick but do have an occassionaly sick feeling in my stomach.
I know definately where you are coming from. I keep thinking something will go wrong with me and every thing that happens to my body I get scared and analyse. The first 12 weeks are way worse than the tww. Stay positive... you will get there.

I have been lurking and are silently supporting you all. You all deserve to have that much wanted baby. If you dont mind, I would like to keep coming in and hijacking every now and then.

Salt, Satya, Pash, Lee, Kiwigirl, Sandie, Mouse, Cherie, megsmum, Sharon, Las, nikilove, leyla, timnick, bun, claireabel :goodluck::grouphug::bluedust:

Pash~ I hope and PRAY you will be fine! Be confident and try to stress as little as possible. I know thats easier said than done but you just have to believe.

Sandielreese~ CONGRATS!! Only more good news to come, right!! Enjoy the next 9 months.

Kiwigirl~ I haven't posted in a while but I was thinking of you, I am glad to hear to feel this AF is more normal. Lately all I have been looking for is if what I feel is normal. I have a question for ya.

I usually get my AF the 23rd or 24th of each month and after my mc/d&c I got my AF on May 10th so I was expecting it June 10th give or take a few days. It still isn't here but I test neg. a couple days ago could it just be that my cycle will go back to normal or to how it used to be??? I want my next AF! Cuz I know I am not pregnant. Anyways enough about me! I hope we continue to get good news from more people!!!

Diane

Good morning everyone.

Zionsmom - I m/c in March and my cycle is still not back to normal - I've been getting shorter cycles.

Bun - Don't stress about your morning sickness or lack of throwing up. My mother had two healthy babies and never got a moment of morning sickness. I'm hoping it's a tradition that gets passed down to me when I get pg again! When is your holiday? Have you checked with the airline about their rules on flying when pregnant? Each airline seems to have different rules.

Megsmum - It comes as a shock when you get told that you need medical assistance doesn't it? I get a little annoyed at the doctors who just throw clomid at you when you are having ttc difficulties. Yes it can help when you are not ovulating or not ovulating well but they also seem to throw it at ladies who have no trouble with Oing and ladies with hormone issues. I would have thought that if you have low progesterone that they would put you on some kind of progesterone support, but it appears that most doctors don't seem to do this until you are actually pregnant.... it's a bit of a catch 22 really. I guess they must know what they are doing.... they are the ones with the medical degrees after all but sometimes I wonder. I was put on clomid 10 years ago but it didn't work for me. I was already ovulating and had unexplained infertility (for 3 years at that stage). I suffered major mood swings whilst on it and was glad to go off it. Lots of ladies have had success on it though so it's certainly worth a try.

Cherie - I'm on a waiting list for the lap so who knows how long that could take. The last one I had (10 years ago) I was only on the list for 1 month but I doubt it will be that quick this time. Due to my age the specialist said he will do his best to pull some strings to get me moved up the list. I'm hoping it won't coincide with my work colleagues 3 days off next month (wishful thinking, I know it wont be that quick) as we can't take time off together, but if I couldn't say no or I'd go to the back of the queue. She's not doing anything for her holidays so I guess I could twister her arm if necessary.
We are cycle buddies this month. Let's hope it's a successful one for us both.

Satya - Your weekend sounds amazing! Whales & dolphins! Wow! Its great that you have EWCM, so something is working for you. Also great that your new doc has a plan for you. I think, while being a bit scary, it would also be comforting? Let us know how you go with the lap. Do you have to have general for it? And 6 months paid maternity leave? Sounds fantastic. Who wouldn't be day dreaming about that?
Lisa - That does sound scary, but its good that your spotting stopped. It can't have been AF. Good luck for the BT.
Lee - My GP in Sydney did BTs for loads of stuff for my first PG. I thought it was important to check for Rubella & other stuff as well. But then both times, the GPs here didn't do anything. Not even a HPT. Personally, I'd prefer if they tested for everything & then you can feel good about having a good iron count, etc. Maybe you could see another GP on the sly and get some BTs done, if that would make you feel better. BTW, I think it is soooo romantic that you got that honeymoon bub! I think it will all work out beautifully for you.
TimNik - You're at the best part of they cycle! Enjoy, and we'll understand if your posts are short & infrequent right now ;)
Salt - You're almost half way through your wait! Got my fingers crossed for you.
Claireabel - Its fantasic news that you saw your bub's heartbeat. You must be very relieved?
Sandie - Congratulations! That is fantastic! I don't think it could be leftover HCG, if you've already had negative HPTs. I think its a real BFP! I hope your BT results confirm it.
Bun - I think only 50% of ppl get m/s at all. I've never had it, and neither had my mum or auntie. Besides, you actually have the best of both worlds: reassurance that you have m/s, without actually throwing up all those good nutrients the baby needs. I understand about your anxiety though and I think I am pretty close to it. I am too afraid to leave this forum too. Have to just beg the other ladies to be patient with us.
MegsMum - Its horrible finding out that your body isn't doing something very well. But you're better off knowing about it now, than spend months ttc then find out afterwards. Maybe if you look at it that way, waiting a cycle won't seem that long (*arrrgh* who am I trying to kid, waiting a cycle is torture). Its good news that your recurrent miscarriage & other tests were ok.
Cherie - Good time in the cycle for you too! Good luck with the BD!
Diane - I'm sorry you got a BFN. How frustrating! But until AF arrives, you may still have a chance (late ovulation maybe?)
Rachael - How are you going? What stage are you at now?

Ladies, I'm sorry for still posting here, but I feel like I still need your support. I hope it doesn't annoy you too much when I whinge about my probs.

OK, I don't know what to think after my scan. There were 2 embryos (great news, except that this is riskier and chances of both surviving are lower), but no heartbeats and they were also a 5 week size instead of 6w4d. I have to wait for another scan in 2 weeks.

So I could have gotten my O date wrong by a week. So bubba & bubbe are only 5wks old, and that's why there is no heartbeat.

Or, I am still cramping & spotted once more. So I will m/c before the next scan or they will find no heartbeats at the next scan. The nurse did keep telling me to go straight to Accident & Emergency if I start bleeding, so I think she doesn't hold much hope.

Also got told that my work is finishing up at the end of July, at which point I'll have to look for more work or be unemployed :(

I'm in a very weird excited-scared-happy-worried-morbid limbo at the moment. I have no idea what's going on.
