    Hi everyone,

    Apologies in advance for this negative post. I am sitting here in tears but I really need to talk.

    I just rang my FS for my results to see if I was ovulating and apparently I didn't ovulate this month. Well, that's put all the temperature crap out the window since I had a temp rise on CD13. I am so upset and disappointed. I really hoped it would be this month. I don't understand how you can ovulate one month and not another. I had to try so hard not to cry over the phone to the nurse. It's just not fair.

    Does anyone know what this means? Is it just a matter of going on Clomid?

    I have to wait 2 weeks to go back to the FS to get any answers. I also have adrenal deficiency which is linked to auto immune diseases which I think isn't helping.

    I just feel like I am letting DH down (I know he would never think that, he is so loving and supportive). He would make such a great father and it breaks my heart I haven't been able to give him a child.

    Oh well, at least I can expect my period now and won't get my hopes up as I know there is no chance.

    I will come back later tonight when I am feeling better (and more positive) to write persies.

    Thanks for listening

    Mel - I've had this happen a couple of times to me too - it absolutely sucks knowing that you have no chance, I'm so sorry hun.

    I would think that most likely they will suggest Clomid, it is the usual "first step" before other forms of AC eg. FSH injections, IVF. I have done Clomid a number of times, first time fell pg but miscarried, and used it again post m/c a number of times with very mixed success, which I put down to my "old age" I didn't always ovulate on Clomid and it badly affected my endo lining too, that's why I'm doing IVF now. Don't mean to scare you at all, I think seeing as you are only a young thing compared to me you've got a really good chance of Clomid working for you There are heaps of ladies on the boards here that have had success on Clomid! And with the extra monitoring (BTs and ultrasounds) you get when you are taking it, you will have a much increased chance of conceiving.

    Don't go thinking you are letting DH down I'm sure he doesn't think that at all. Just keep perservering and you will get there! This may be the reason that you are having trouble conceiving - it is better to know about it and have it treated than keep going along in the dark month after month hey? And how much sweeter will it be when you finally have your bub?!

    Take care of yourself xx

    Mel1979 - I'm so sorry you are having such a rough day. I don't know much about ovulation so can't help you there. But as for DH - I have EXACTLY the same feelings - despite the fact that my DH has been fantastic, doesn't blame me at all - but I struggle with the fact that I can't give him a baby...at least yet. I think he'd be a fantastic dad and it just breaks my heart that it's not happening and I feel like its my fault. I don't know what to do to fix how I feel, but thought it might help if I share that I feel the same way.

    Toccara and Mannie: CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
    These babies WILL STICK!!!
    My very best wishes going your way!!!

    All my girls here... Thank you so much for thinking of me.. I feel much better about my kidney stone..it looks like it was just one and I passed it that day.
    Things have not looked up here yet...but we are hanging in there AF has not arrived since my D&C on 9/12 and I don;t think she will come until I see a specialist... the only time I know we can see a specialist is maybe on tax return season in April.. yeah April my due date.

    There is only one thing I feel super bad about and that is.. that my son will turn 4 on Dec 16th and if any of us don't get a job by then it will be sad to not get him anything.
    Hubby has a few interviews for the first week of Dec but when you start a new job they don't pay you right away.. I just hope we can get my son at least a cake or something.

    If hubby gets a day job I will try to get a night job..( so he can stay with Erick Daycare is out of the question) I know we won't have a minute together but for now I think we will have to sacrifice that.

    sooooo tomorrow is thanksgiving and I'm cooking a few things.. hubby got his last check from his job and we have to be wise as to how to spend it.. we just don't know when we will get $$ again and it's scary.

    But we will try to make the most out of it tomorrow...
    Wishing you all a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

    hugs te you all.
