More great news! My hCG was 10 on Monday AND chromosomal tests came back negative so it was officially an unexplained miscarriage NOT a molar pregnancy. The ob/gyn said since my AF has come back I'm officially allowed to try YAY!
Well - I'm now a married woman - and what a weekend it was!!!! We had planned a very small private ceremony at home (no family!!) just our best friends. Friday night there was a knock on the door, 4 more of my dear girlfriends had flown down to surprise me (I'm in Hobart) and they live in NSW - so we had an impromptu Hens night and one or two bottles of wine and lots of laughs!! Then the service on Saturday morning. It was all so perfect and took my mind of baby making (kinda!!) for a bit anyway.
Thanks for all your well wishes, it was lovely to get these.
BUT - back to the serious business of baby making. I'm confused...........
I started doing OKPs on about CD10. I got a very very faint positive that day. I kind of thought it was an evap line, and wasn't expecting to O until more like CD 14 or 16. Well, I've done OKPs ever since (just used my last one), and here I am on CD17 and have not got a positive yet. The last week I hade had EWCM on and off, and the BBs have been a bit tingly - which indicate that O is happening - but just haven't had it confirmed by OKP. Should I assume I have O'd or not? The EWCM seems to have stopped at least today anyway.
Was hoping for a wedding bub, but am feeling a bit confused. Perhaps I have not O'd at all - and with all the excitement, have stalled the process?
What do you think?
Salt - good luck with testing, praying for you, you deserve this.
And sorry for lack of personals - but I'm reading and sending you all hugs.
Just popping in to say YAY to Kiwigirl, it is bittersweet finding out the chromosomes were normal, on the one hand it is good because at least you know you can make a normal baby and get pregnant, on the other its sad because there was no good reason for the pregnancy failing... but it does make getting "back on the horse" so to speak a little bit easier don't you think?
Saltprincess – have you tested with a digital HPT? I like the Clearblue ones since they say PREGNANT or NOT PREGNANT (sorry, not yelling!) and then there is no error on my part to look for a little blue line. Um, I don’t know what HyCoSy stands for! Wait! Google is my friend:
HyCoSy explained
Hysterosalpingo-contrast-sonography (HyCoSy) is a transvaginal ultrasound technique in which a solution of galactose and 1% palmitic acid (Levovist) - or a mixture of air and saline - is infused into the uterine cavity and observed to flow along the Fallopian tubes to assess tubal patency. The bright echoes generated by the Levovist makes tubal visualization easier, which is further improved by the addition of colour Doppler imaging.
Summary
HyCoSy provides a low-risk, outpatient procedure that is of comparable accuracy to HSG, indicating which direction further diagnosis and treatment of infertility should take. This technique, along with transvaginal ultrasound, is an ideal screening test for tubal patency in the investigation of infertility.
I too would be recognisable by my username too but I have nothing to hide, only in that we haven’t told many people about the MC. Hope things are on the up and up for you.
Gee, I haven’t really thought about TTC now. I think I would be really guilty going to see Mike Aitken and my GP if they have both told me to wait. DH thinks its best to wait so I guess I have to wait!! Grr!
Satya – good luck with the TWW, will be thinking of you.
*las* - sorry that the Clomid is messing you around so much!
Bun – how are things at home? Glad to hear DH is understanding you a bit more. Why do I need another cycle tracked? I think they want to make sure that my January cycle wasn’t just a one off with respect to ovulation and oestrogen levels. Plus, after this HyCoSy I want to make sure that I DO ovulate, just to be sure. My cycles are 32 days in length so not too bad. I go on another forum and guessed a member from there is the same one on here. We’ve PM’d each other and all I can do is hope she doesn’t out me on the other forum, she is lovely so I doubt she would.
I hope you haven’t lost your spark, that it is just hiding ATM. I know this for myself, but I don’t want to say that I will be happy when I have a baby. I need to be happy now, even though this terrible thing has happened to me. I have a beautiful and loving DH, great friends, wonderful family, job that is going great….so I have lots to be thankful for. But then again, I haven’t been TTC for very long so I hope I can just carry on this attitude for a while longer. This probably hasn’t made you feel better but I hope you can find some comfort in the good things in your life right now Bun. Hugs to you sweetie.
Kiwigirl – well done!
Heybacko – thanks hun. Good luck with the house hunting!!
So yesterday was my first day back at work, I am grateful for the distraction and just had a cry with DH after work yesterday. This arvo will be tough, going to see a friend who has a 6 month old to look at her new house. It makes it worse because her baby is perfect! Doesn’t cry and smiles all the time. God I wish she had a ***** of a kid, would make it so much easier!
Salt - just read your post. Wish I had some words of wisdom, but just want you to know that "I hear you", truly I do. The only thing we can do to really help ourselves is to try and keep the hope alive. We all have hope, frustrating road as it can be sometimes.
Lets see what happens today and tomorrow for you, you are really not even late for AF yet. I reckon if AF hasn't shown up in the next 3 days, you are still in with a good chance.... I REALLY hope things work out this month for you. You are so kind to everyone here, even when faced with your own hard stuff, you still give everyone else such amazing encouragement. Thank you
Sharon - thanks - I hope I have a wedding bub too!! And good luck with the new Doc.
Satya - I'm a firm believer in "signs" - and I reckon your brilliant timing with a good gyno!! I'm feeling very positive for you!!
Bun - I agree - ignorance would be very welcome. Hugs to you and your DH. I know we have many blessings and lovely things to be grateful for. I wish you nothing but the best.
Well, I'm CD18. And although I didn't have much success with the OKPs this month - I 99% sure I O'd yesterday, things sort of "peaked". Luckily my new darling DH is up for all the BD required!! So, now it's in the lap of the gods and we start the painful TWW. I really need to NOT think about it. It's school holidays here, so I'm nicely diverted anyway.....
Salt - I'm so sorry, I was checking today hoping that you had some good news But don't lose hope yet, you never know its over until AF arrives. And I know what you mean about why is this happening, and I don't think you are being whingey at all! If you are, then i must be too because I feel the same way!
Lee - Congratulations on your wedding! I haven't had much success with the OPKs either lately - I've gone and bought a different brand to try this month, hopefully they will work. But don't worry about it as long as you timed BD well, you're in with a chance Fingers crossed for a honeymoon baby for you!
Diane - I don't really know what to say to make you feel better I guess just take it day by day - corny I know! But good luck for when you do TTC.
Bun - how are you going? Is just seems to me like you have been through so much - hugs to you. I also want to wish you all the best for your TWW and for this month.
Sharon - that's great that you've been to your GP and are going to see an OB, hopefully he'll be able to find some answers for you. But all the best for trying in the meantime
satya - thanks for the info on the pineapple juice - I'm thinking I might give it a go this month, what can it hurt? I'm glad you're feeling positive and that's great that you're seeing a gyno and so soon.
shoegal and kiwigirl - that is great news for both of you! All the best for TTC very soon, and shoegal I hope AF arrives for you really soon!
Well I've had a bit of a crap day today I had a good friend ring me today to RSVP to DDs 3rd birthday party on the weekend, and after a bit off stuffing around on the phone she finally blurts out that she is pregnant. Please don't get me wrong I am really happy for her, and she was really nice about telling me, all worried about how I'd take it because she knows what has happened to me over the last few months, but they weren't really trying to get pregnant (although they had plans for another soonish) and now I feel really bad not because I'm envious or anything, but because she was so worried about telling me. And I don't want to have friends feeling sorry for me either! She had been holding off telling me hoping that I would get pregnant soon. So that makes two of my close friends that are pregnant now and they are two of the three friends that know about my m/cs. I'm just feeling really frustrated about all this TTC business today, I wish it would just hurry up and happen!! Actually I wish it would hurry up and happen for all of us! And I feel like I'm wishing the months away. Oh well, what do you do I guess? I think a big dose of patience is in order LOL
Hi to everyone I've missed, better get going and start cooking dinner for my hungry DD

Ladies - a quick question - do most of you get sore BBs straight after O'ing?? Mine are really tender, which is why I'm assuming I did O yesterday. They were sore this time last cycle (and I read way too much into it, thinking I was pg!!). Just curious, as it's a good way for me to pinpoint O.
YAY!
