Hey girls.... I know it's been a while since I posted.... just had to tell Mannie that I'm so sorry for your loss... It's so unfair, and I'm just so very sorry. You're in my thoughts and


Will post more tomorrow.... sorry girls.... it IS O time, after all! Got a +OPK yesterday, and temp this am starting on it's way up. Should see a coverline in 2 days.

Mannie: ( stretching out my arm to lock it with yours....) We will be TTC buddies in Jan!! Pinky promise!! we will both have our spirit babies. COUNT ON IT! ♥

Now heal hun.. do so both physically and emotionally cry when you need to.. I broke down today about my angel baby.. not even 15 min. ago with hubby...just stumbled upon an old pic of Erick (my son) when he was newborn and the tears started flowing on their own.. hubby heard me sniffing and he came to hug me.. I just sobbed. . Healing doesn't mean forgetting.. healing means accepting what it is and embracing what will come in the future. Our time will come ♥
My deepest sympathy. I am here for you! We all are. Glad you like the story.


Mollycat and Mel:

Jen: Catch that EGGIE!!!!

Hi,
Don't know if this is the right place to ask this question but here goes anyway, i'm starting to get really frustrated with my body!!

We're ttc after missed m/c in july. I've been using OPK's to seeif i'm ovulating. Last month I got a positive result day 16 (no joy though, AF arrived 16 days later ). This month I have had negative results with the OPK every day. But just now I did one and it came up positive - this is on day 24??!!?? My cycles is normaly 32 days so I am thinking that this is a bit late in the game to be ovulating, as i'd be expecting a/f next monday??

Also have been monitoring other fertility signs (cervical position and cm) - sorry if TMI - but I have what i would assume is 'fertile' CM for at least 5 days now (including today) and also my cervix is so high I can't even seem to reach it (for about 4 days now) - apologies again if tmi!

ALso have had spotting this month and last month around day 14-16 (last month too around day22 as well) - I'm getting SOOOO angry with my body, feel like it is letting me down! (not a good way to feel about it, i know....)

Any clues as to what may be going on??? It's frsutrating not knowing when it's going to happen (the 'o' i mean)- I feel like I have to do it everyday to be in for a chance and unfortunately DH is just not up for it!!

Thanks ladies

Hi rach!
Don't stress too much hon (I know, easier said than done). Each cycle is different. Sometimes we don't o at all!! The cycle I conceived this little one I was told I hadn't o'd, so really take it with a grain of salt. Your body is probably still getting back into gear, and unfortunately it takes a different time for everyone. But patience (sigh) and perseverence will get you, and all of us, there!
Big and I TOTALLY understand the frustration!!

Omg Af has NOT kicked in full throttle. It's just this stupid spotting. Today more than yesterday..so please can you keep sending AF vibes my way??... UUGHHHH I just want to have a normal period!!!


Rach78: I'm sorry about your loss. Tutmae is right.. sometimes it takes a few cycles for your body to kick back in gear.

Now I do have a question for you. Do you have PCOS?.. If so then even if you have all the symptoms of ovulation..it is very likely ovulation does not occur..even if you feel like you did. See many women can have their periods like clockwork and with or without the diagnosis.. it doesn't ensure proper ovulation. Many women Do ovulate.. but the egg it;self is not good quality..result in in early "flushing" or early miscarriage (many women don't even know they are miscarrying cuz it all happens so early and right away)

I did use OPKs with my Angel bubba ( I miscarried on Sept 11th this year) and for the looks of it.. I ovulated WAAAAYYYYY later on... my cycles range from 44 days to 150+
My first hint of a BFP was on cycle day 60 and I was around 3 weeks preggo..meaning I ovulated like on Cycle day 40ish ....CRAZY!! But I have Infertility I have PCOS.

That being said... women who have longer cycles ovulate later on.

I hope the OPKS do work for you. If not have you thought of seeing a specialist??..sometimes you don't have to have any diagnosis.. many doctors are giving many women w/o infertility Clomid to help with ovulation.

Good luck TTC girly. I hope to hear news soon from you ♥

[Where there's hope]

Mannie - I am really sorry about your test results. I know the stress they cause and doubt you got much sleep over the weekend. If you need to talk, feel free to PM me. Take care hon' - just hoping your numbers are a little low because of a late ovulation

AFM - As you can see by my new sig I got a BFN for my OI (which was never mean't to happen anyways). The whole process had me really fooled because last week I had the strongest PG-like symptoms I've ever had before a BT. So now I understand how IVF girls get their hopes up so high each time. You really do feel PG! Then I had a massive hormonal crash Friday and was greeted by AF. Spent the weekend in Sydney having some wonderful escapism. It was just what I needed. Am now on Day 3 of my new short cycle on a higher dose so will be curious to see how it goes. Does not feel as exciting this time around. Just hoping we get some embryos to biopsy (and hopefully transfer) so we have a better idea of the quality of my little eggies.
