Saltprincess – how long until you test? Fingers crossed for you, I really, really hope it’s a +ve. Well, netball was really difficult. Saw a few friends there with their babies. DH came with me and I had a big bawl on the way home too but I am glad I made myself get out of the house. We’ve decided if we aren’t PG by October then we are going to get really serious about seeing Mike. It’s just ovulation tracking ATM so nothing invasive is going on. My GP told me that she would have referred me to an FS anyway if we weren’t preggers after 6 months of trying. Hun, I would love to give you a really big hug, sounds like you need it. Sending you through a big cyber hug sweetie and that you don’t have to see Dr Aitken!
*las* - hope you are enjoying your country getaway. I have never been on Clomid nor claim to be an expert but I’ve heard symptoms are less severe if you take it at night time??? This may be of no help to you at all but just thought I would pass it along anyway.
Satya – I too am terrified of someone identifying me here so have not volunteered too much personal information about myself. Would you believe that I did tell two very dear friends yesterday??? I cannot believe how much better I felt last night. Have started back at work today and feel a little down but no cries today (yet!) so that is good.
Leyla – sorry haven’t heard anything about Maca root, glad AF arrived though!
Timnik77 – welcome, I hope your stay here is short. I am sorry for your losses but you have come to the right place! Don’t worry, it won’t be long before you know soooo much more than what you did before. BB is a great learning tool.
Bun – hi there! Will you be making an appt to see Dr Hart before you make your break from the clinic? I had a BT today to ensure my HCG levels were coming down, haven’t heard yet so just waiting for AF to return so I can track again. I’m not at the point yet where I feel frustrated about having BT’s but I bloody hope I’m PG soon so I don’t have to keep doing it! These cold mornings make it extremely hard for the phlebotomists to find a vein! Not totally sure why I have to have a HyCoSy but since I MC’d they want to make sure there is no blockage or something not quite right with my uterus. I really hope your DH can try to understand the things you are going through.
Kiwi girl - good luck at the OB today.
Salt - Don't worry about the temp drop - some women get those and are till pg. Good luck with testing again. You and I somehow have to beat our SILs.
Trying - hope your AF hurries up so you can get on to a fresh cycle
Las - I wish your scan had gone better. The doc tells me I have too much estrogen - I wish I could just give you some.
Leyla - I've never heard of macca root. Glad your AF arrived
Two mums - good luck with this cycle.
Cherie - you might actually be pregnant. 3 BFPs & spotting are very good signs. Some women just take longer than others to show up in blood tests.
Welcome timnik77 I'm sorry for your losses. It must be incredibly hard with your lil sis being pg now. Just a little heads up. When I turned 30 I had been ttc for 2 years (unsuccessfully, no pregnancies at all) and I took that milestone really hard. I kept thinking that I should have been pg by now, in fact I should have had a baby by now, that kind of thing. For me it was far worse than turning 40. Try not to let your mind go in that direction. Try and think of all the great things in your life and be thankful for those, like your partner, your health, your family and friends.
Bun - Sending you:hugs: . Men don't realise how lucky they are in the TTC process. The worst that most of them get is to have to do a sperm sample and even then we tend to have to take it to the clinic as they are too embarassed to do it. My DF & I have had some huge fights since the m/c and we haven't even started to get medical intervention. Ours have usually been if he feels too tired to bd & I think I'm about to O or when he doesn't agree with the money I'm spending on vitamins.
Shoegal. It really is amazing how much better you feel after you stumble out those few words to your nearest and dearest isn't it. I'm glad you are feeling a little better.
I'm up to CD15 now. FF has given me a dotted coverline at day 12 but I don't think it's correct. I think I O'd yesterday (CD14) as I had what I think was O pain for hours yesterday. Last cycle I O'd on CD13 & my post O temp is exactly the same as last time even though it is only .1 higher than yesterday. My coverline got shifted last cycle too so I think that will happen again. Now it's on to the hard part - the TWW.
timnik77 - welcome! I'm sorry for your losses Good luck with the clomid, what dosage are you starting on? I too thought I'd have my family completed by 30..I'm nearly 34 and still going!
Bun - sounds like you have had a rough few days I always try and remember that even though DH doesn't go through what I go through, he is still going through it with me and still has to cop my emotions and try and be the strong one for us both at times. Doesn't mean I don't think your DH is being too hard on you...maybe he's just trying to stay strong, and is going about it the wrong way??? You've had such a tough journey so far and we are here to support you when you feel like you can't get what you need away from here I truly hope this is your month!
Shoegal - I tried taking it at night, when we were using clomid to conceive DS, it kept me up all night, couldn't sleep and felt anxious. I wish I could sleep through the side effects...LOL! Oh well, took the last pill on Saturday, now just waiting for the effects to ease, should be better by the weekend (I hope!).
Salt - oh hun, I'm so sorry Let us know how your FMU test goes. I'm still hoping like crazy that it's not AF. Keep us posted! I too worry about people I'm not sharing ttc'ing with finding my posts, but I guess putting ourselves on the www puts ourselves out there, doesn't it
Satya - will happily take your excess estrogen!! Good luck on your TWW! Hope it's a quick one and I have every body part possible crossed for you!
Salt - how did you go? Did you test this morning? I sooooo hope it's a BFP for you! I am so sorry to hear about the troubles you and your DH have had - m/c really does put a strain on a relationship. I'm glad things are ok now, and that you took DH along to a counselling session. I am still having counselling, and she said I could bring DH if I wanted to, so maybe I will sometime. It would be weird, but maybe good for us. I know that he just reacts to things differently from me, and that is why he is the way he is. I need a different kind of support to him. I talked to him about it the other night and he said that when he was going through a difficult time (he has a brain tumour and had to have some pretty serious surgery a few years ago), he wanted people to act like nothing had happened, and that was how he liked to deal with it, like it's no big deal. So because that's how he likes to be treated, that's how he treats me when I am going through a difficult time. The trouble is, I am totally different from him and want a hug and sympathy when times are tough, I don't want him to just ignore it! So at least I know where he is coming from. He stayed home and cooked me dinner last night rather than going to training, so I think that is his way of acknowledging that he maybe hasn't been terribly supportive lately.
Las - I hope the nasty side effects go away soon. When is your next scan?
Satya - sometimes I wish our DHs would realise how easy they have it! My DH has never even had to give a sample - all he has ever had to do is BD and he winges! I have been through hell and back with m/cs, scans, appointments, poking and prodding, and I think I have just notched up 30 BTs so far this year!
Shoegal - I am glad you handled netball and work ok. It really is the hardest time getting back out there again. I am glad you felt better after telling some friends. I hardly told anyone, and only told one of my closest friends a couple of weeks ago and was surprised how much better it made me feel. I don't think I will see Dr Hart again, unless I m/c again or have trouble falling. I don't think there is much he can do, as he hasn't found anything wrong with me and we haven't had trouble conceiving yet. Fingers crossed it will stay that way! I have had heaps of trouble with veins too - it is so cold in the mornings and my veins are bad at the best of times! Why do you have to have your cycle tracked again? I have only had 2 cycles of tracking (but my cycles are loooong), but a lot of tests the month before that, and before that I had 2 m/cs in 3 months, so the process is starting to drag a bit for me.
I sometimes worry about people stalking me here and identifying me from some of the things I have said too, but I figure they are unlikely to firstly find the site and then secondly pore through all my posts to figure out who I am! There is actually a girl on BB who had a bub in March that I know (an old housemate), I could tell it was her just from her intro post! But I would never stalk her or pass on any info that I may read here to anyone else. I guess we just have to hope that others are that sensitive too.
I am 4DPO today, so not much happening. I was a bit teary last might for some reason, I think it's a mix of grief over what we have lost and fear for the future. DH said last night that I have lost my spark after all this. I hate to think that I have changed, but how can you not change when something like this happens to you?
Great news! My hCG is less than 1! My GP just called to let me know but recommended for my physical and mental state to leave TTC until after AF returns in what she thinks will be 4 to 6 weeks.
Good luck with the clomid, what dosage are you starting on? I too thought I'd have my family completed by 30..I'm nearly 34 and still going!
I truly hope this is your month!
