    Megsmum - Congratulations! It's about time the thread had something to celebrate! I know it must also be an anxious time but at least it sounds like they will monitor you closely. Sending your way. This might sound a little selfish but I am glad you will stay in this thread a while longer, you have really helped me!

    Mannie - wow, we can now all say congratulations officially! So happy for you hun. you have a sticky bub in there!

    Indy - Definitely go and get checked out again. I m/c in Nov 2007 and we are still waiting. I wanted my GP to do tests 6 months ago but he insisted we wait 12 months to see a FS. Now I have just found out that I am not o every month! Pretty bummed we have wasted so much time.

    Possums - Thanks, I saw an endo specialist just over 12 months ago and she put me on prednisilone. Funnily enough I feel pg just the month after I started taking the medication but no luck since

    Maddies Mum - So sorry to see you have found yourself on this thread but it a great source of support and advice. The ladies here have helped me so much since I joined. I wish I had found them all sooner!

    Hannah - Hang in there, not long to go now! Going to the toilet a lot sounds promising.....

    WTH- Try not to lose hope!

    AFM - Feeling heaps better today and more positive. I think I will feel better once I see the FS again and know for sure the next course of action. Trying to see it as a positive. Clomid seems to have quite a good success rate and if I already o sometimes I am hoping it will work for me!

    Sorry, have to go. DH and I are going to the movies.

    Hi to everyone else!

    Megsmum YAYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! That is AWESOME news hun, wishing you the happiest, healthiest and stickiest nine months out!!!
    Maddysmum - I am so sorry you had to come in here to join us but you are in the right place for loads of love and support to help you through this. As for your bleeding, my first m/c which was at 10 1/2 weeks and had a D&C for took a good two weeks before the bleeding stopped and my second which was a natural m/c at about 6 weeks, I bled for about 5 days. I think my dr said at the time, if I bled more than two weeks or had an accompanying fever, that something needed to be done. I hope it stops soon for you so that you can concentrate on the emotional side of recovering. .

    Hannah - , hoping she stays away and you get a lovely BFP instead!!
    WTH - wishing you heaps and heaps of luck for your BT Monday anyway, hoping you won't need to partake in an xmas baby-making BD marathon
    Mannie - , wow BFP at 7dpo is AWESOME, hoping that you too have a h&h and sticky 9 months. So many BFP, its fantastic, bring them on!!!
    Indy - sorry about the bfn, hope you can get a wonderful xmas pressie instead!
    Mel - that really sucks not o-ing but I am glad that you are feeling more positive. Will your FS have you on clomid for your next cycle? Then you could have a lovely chrissie bfp too
    Big HI to Jen, PLC, Hannah, Possums and the rest of you awesome girlies
    Not a lot happening here, in a tww of sorts then it is all on for my xmas BFP!! I am currently at work on a Saturday night - how excviting is my life!!

    Thanks for your kind words Melissal. Ur right - I can't wait for it to end so I can concentrate on dealing with the emotional side of recovery. I am just so thankful that I have a gorgeous little 2 year old daughter and a beuatiful understanding hubby (I love them both to bits). Hopefully we will look to TTC again in the new year.
    Just a bit off the subject here - how do I get me one of those gorgeous avatars, and decorate my signature with hubby and my lil' Maddison. Also would like to track my cycle (once I am back on track) like at the bottom of your message.
    Sorry for all the questions sweetie.

    Hi Melissal,

    No I won't get to start on Clomid this month as I am going to FS a week after AF is due so I am guessing it will be too late to start in Dec (don't know alot about it). I would go back to him sooner but I am waiting on a couple of other test results (Lupus, ovarian resistance - don't think this is an issue since I didn't o this month!). I reckon the FS will want all the results before he decides what we do next.

    Although I would love to start now DH and I think we have waited this long so we can wait another month. Decided have the month off and enjoy the festive season instead and when we want instead of when we have to!

    Maddysmum - I bled for a couple of days after the m/c. Bit like a period but much heavier bleeding. I m/c at 6 weeks and didn't need to have a D&C. I think everyone is different but make sure you get checked out if you have prolonged bleeding, cramping or a fever. Sorry I can't help with the avatars question, I am still trying to work out this forum thing (bit sad considering DH works in IT!).

    We put up our Christmas tree today (a little early I know). DH turned to me and said how he hopes we have a baby by next Christmas, it brings a tear to my eye. I that 2009 is the year for all of us.

    Megsmum - WOW. What wonderful news, congratulations.

    Maddysmum - Welcome. Sorry you have to join us, hope that your stay here is short and you can jump over to the PAML thread with our BFP'ers. To answer your question, to get an avatar, you need to be a paid member, not sure if you have to have "so many" posts before you do or if you can just pay. To get the bits at the bottom, go to user profile at the top and click on edit signature, you can add your information in there. There is a limit to how much info you can put in. Hope that helps and doesn't confuse you.

    Hi Ladies,

    Sorry but I'm really confused and need some help!

    I just entered my temp for this morning into FF and my o day has changed from CD13 to CD22! I had a BT on CD 20 and was told from those results that I hadn't o'd this month. My question is, does anyone know if the BT would've picked this up on CD20 that I was about to ovulate or is this why the BT said I didn't? I am so confused.

    I had really bad cramps and was very tender around my ovaries on CD21 and then apparently o'd the next day. Luckily we ended up on the right day although we didn't on any of the surrounding days. I guess it only takes one!

    I usually o at around CD17 or 18 so it is very late for me but CD 13 was too early! Although I haven't had any CM this month which I usually do (sorry if TMI!).

    Mannie & Megsmum - How are you both feeling today? Hope you're both still on cloud nine and are not too anxious.

    Hi to everyone else! Sorry for lack of persies but I'm completely confused at the moment!

    Have a baby shower to go to this afternoon *sigh*.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Hi Mel,

    Just got back from Mass and was praying very hard for this bub to stick and be healthy and that I would be lucky enough to bring it to term. Its in God's hands now. Feeling ok today temps still up and feeling a bit off, but happy at the same time. Trying not to be too anxious. Have had a few crys but pg does bring on weepiness so its out of my control.

    by the way we only did it once and it was on the morning of OD day and then we did it again the next day which I think wouldve been too late to catch the egg, so I believe we caught the egg on OD day...so for the record you right it only takes one!!! so goodluck and you may get your BFP before Xmas after all.....

    HI to everyone else, we have a BBQ to attend today its so hot here and I'm not looking forward to standing around outside on a hot day in my condition...phew....I'm glad its only from 2 til 6pm! I'll be wanting a cold shower as soon as I get home!

    Have a great sunday ladies....persies this week ....thanks for all your support too.
