Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ February 2011

melzi - i hope everything goes as smoothly as it can for the op. you just have to think positively - which i know is hard to do. my brother has been fighting cancer since he was in high school and is now 28 and still beating the odds. I hope you have a good doctor that can help you through everything.

AFM - i have started the 100mg clomid this morning. was going to wait till tonight incase i get side effects but i was too impatient lol i felt like i was wasting 12 hours if i didnt take it till tonight! for those that have had clomid before - have you had any side effects and if so when do they start?

afternoon everyone,mimivini2b-welcome to the thread,sorry for your loss.I've been on clomid before & didn't find the side effects that bad,but of course everyone is different,good luck with it....shan85-how did you go at dr?..melzi-thinking of you,hugs...ladies-once again thank you for your supportive words....afm-i'm in the 1ww,bt is next thursday,but i think i'll poas before then,just in case it;s a bfp but with low prog (then ivf clinic might give me some prog pessaries).Haven't had any more spotting since night of transfer ,boobs are a bit sore but i have been poking them,seeing oesteopath tomorrow,acupuncturist next week

hi ladies, firstly melzi, my thoughts are with u and praying for a speedy recovery.
AFM- couldnt speak to my gyno as he is on a confrence til monday grrrr so went to the gp again this morning and he sent me to emergancy. Still changing pads every hour (sorry tmi) and feel like im gunna flood everytime i stand. Im borderline anemic so no blood transfusion but im on twice the promult n and on a coagulant now to stop it bleeding. U/S monday at 830

shan, I'm glad your GP was sensible - that's way too much bleeding, I didn't realise you were bleeding so much, that's not normal sweetie! I hope you're on plenty of iron too, even low normal is really too low on iron (take it from someone who's currently anaemic :( ). Take care of yourself, I hope the meds work quickly and the U/S shows nothing that needs to be looked after.

Praying for you and melzi - I hope that doesn't offend either of you!

shan-glad you got some more meds,hope your able to get some rest over the weekend,you must be totally exhausted,hope the u/s gives you some answers

thanks ladies, lol no rest for the wicked, gotta work tomorrow 3-9 so nice sleep in tomorrow and pray its gone tonight. Its only gotten really really bad over the last 2 days so im gunna rest tonight and see what tomorrow brings. Bit hard to rest with A NEW PUPPY lol

Ooh a new puppy! I'd LOVE a puppy but were going to have kids first so that's a few years down the track.

Friend at work told me today she is 10 weeks. She knows all about my miscarriage so she's saying how cautious she's being about obsessing and planning announcements and stuff. Strangely I didn't even feel upset. I think because I already knew she was off the pill so it was a possibility. Some people at work and myself have had our suspicions and from what she says, we knew before she did! Lol! So yeah, I'm not upset, just happy for her and I think it's because she told me privately and I didn't find out with everyone else (who will find out in a few weeks).

This weekend I am Oing, so I'm hoping I can get my BFP and tell her just as she tells the rest of work about her own... But then again that's me obsessing about 'perfect timing' again, which I did with my angel. And look how that turned out!

Breaking news!!!! AF HAS LEFT THE BUILDING!! thank god!! left this morning....and feeling wonderful now lol
Puppy has just had a bath lol
Anyways still going for U/S monday morning to see if there was any reason why and then to school. Friday Im making an appontment with my gyno to start again with a better more sensible plan!!

hi everyone hope you all had a nice relaxing weekend.

matthews mum - i havent had too much in side effects i dont think. ive had a dull headache since friday afternoon but nothing too bad. and it could just be from the heat so who knows!
did you notice your AF was shorter on clomid? my AF pre-D&C was always 7days in length (on and off the pill) but this was my first period since D&C and it was only 4 days? I dont know if this is a sign the clomid is going to work or if it is from the D&C? not that Im complaining lol - i just thought it was a weird change.

for all the girls coming up to O good luck! still not sure when mine will be depending if clomid works so could be anything from day 9 - 28 lol. hopefully it will come sooner rather than later. I have got OPK tests so hope to pick up O and BD all around that!

Hi ladies,
I was just wondering if I can join your thread? We have been TTC#2 for almost 3 years, and we have a georgous 4 and half year old named Xavier. I have PCOS and don't ovulate so we've done clomid to death (3 pg and 3 angels) and now I do injectable meds to induce ovulation. We just lost hetrotopic twins in Jan/Feb, and I'm about to start it all again...I think. Half of me is desperate to get pg again, and half of my is terrified! Does that make sense?

Anyway, I hope it's ok if I hang out here and share your journey too,
Bec

Grrrr I'm still not ovulating!!!!! Annoying!!! DH stayed home because we thought we could catch the egg! Gosh I'm sick of bding!!! :( never thought id say that.

Well this month will be out unless I have already ovulated...? And in that case we prob missed the egg because we haven't been bding much at all :(

Have a squiz at my chart if you like? It's in my sig!

Shan - YAY for AF leaving.... but still make sure you take lots of iron, both tabs, from meat ( if your're not vego) and non meat sources ( apricots, avocado, almonds, hommus, leafy green veges).. you still need to take care of yourself. GL tomorrow though, you're still going right? For your u/s?

Phebe - hope you catch that eggie.

Becnxavi - oh sweetie - so good to see you in here! YAY for taking the first step to admit you're going to TTC. So totally understandable to want to TTC but totally petrified to be. I am walking that very path now. Hope your stay is short and you get a sticky bubs very soon.

Melzi - I am only just re learning how to read charts. .... but I'll look at it and let you know what I think. Nah, it's so easy to get over BD'ing, when you're focusing on TTC and not feeling the love. But you've got soo much on your plate right now.... easy to be over it.

MM - how many days into your 2WW are you?

AFM - so excited. I might have O'ed. Noted a temp drop, and then rise, and also some changes in CM. So it's kinda exciting thinking that this might actually herald an official start to TTC. And maybe even my first TWW?

BACK AGAIN - Melzi - you could have O'ed... you had a temp drop of about .2 then a rise. But then another drop and rise. So it looks like you might have had a estrogen & LH surge Then your temp has stayed high ish since, which means progesterone is there. I have only just joined FF, and was surprised to read in their lessons that the ideal fertility window is 2 days before O and O day, but that as the LH phase can vary from woman to woman the "fertility window" is "longer" maximum of 6 days. But it is early in your cycle - what's your usual cycle length. I always wanted to make the most of the fertile window and so would BD from day 10/11 to day 21... just in cases. :P

BACK AGAIN - Mini - sorry about your brother sweetie - hope he continues to live strong and overcome his cancer.

hi everyone,welcome becnavi,i think our paths crossed in the clomid thread ,would be well over a year ago now,sorry to read your journey has been filled with more heartbreak...minivini-the clomid didn't shorten my cycles much at all,but i think that was due to my age...hugs to all..afm-bfn this morning,i'm 8dp a 5d transfer.Still holding out hope as i'm not bleeding,still got a few symptoms,hoping maybe late implantation???blood test due on Thursday

Temp down today no pos opk...

I somehow think that this is an anovulatory cycle :(

MM - hope it is just too early & the BT's tell a different story on Thurs - good luck sweets!
Melzi - hope your wrong - I was never great at reading charts so not much help......
Bexnxavi - welcome sweets - hope your future includes a BFP & a stucky bubba soon!!
Shan - yay for the witch finally leaving the building. Hoping you don't see her for a long time!!
minivini2b - I think clomid did shorten my cycles - I was always a steady 7 days but the clomid seemed to make it a more intense 4 days. GL x
Hi to Dory, phebee (yay on the puppy - nice distraction) & anyone else I've missed.
Hope I am ok to still post in here for a while as I am always keen to read up on everyones news.
xxxx

Mummytotwo- I was right. Not ovulating... I didn't last cycle either.

My lumpectomy is scheduled for next week!

Chatted to my new gp/obgyn today and she said that I will be able to ttc straight after the op. Feeling pretty positive (she told me that they take the lump out as well as a little surrounding tissues therefore limiting the need for radiation therapy!) and it's a day theatre so I will be home the next day. (I'm on the list for the arvo so they'll keep me overnight and I suck coming out of g/anesthetics!

In regards to ttc, they have figured out I'm defo not ovulating. So next cycle I start clomid... And ultrasounds and blood tests that go with it. Things are starting to look up. Although I am quite nervous.

Hey to everyone else, sorry I haven't been on much I've had lots on my mind. Hope everyone is well x

Thanks for the welcome ladies! Hi Dory & Matthews Mum, we have crossed paths before, and it's nice to know someone already!
Melzi- Clomid is not too bad, as Matthews Mum said. I had some bad sfx the first round and then just GRUMPY! Good luck with everything.
Dory- I hope you are o'ing! How exciting! GL for round 1.
Minivini- I found my clomid cycles were always shorter and not as heavy. It has to do with your lining or some such. It might be worth mentioning to your Dr?
Matthews Mum- I haven't read back far, but I'm assuming your IVFing? GL with your BT.

I'm still learning everyone's names and journeys, so HI everyone else!

AFM: I'm off to my FS on Wednesday to see what our next step is. Becasue of the ectopic I now only have one tube, although apparently one tube can still pick up from both ovaries (weird!), so I might still be able to do Ovulation Induction for 2 or 3 more rounds before IVF. We'll see what she says, as she doesn't know about the hetrotopic twin yet so that might change everything!

GL to everyone coming to the end of their cycles. :pray: for BFP's all round

Bec

Hi everyone! It's difficult to remember what everyone said when you're on your iPod, but welcome to becnxavi! Thinking of & praying for you with your op melzi. Hi to everyone else! Hope were all BDing & catching eggies :)

I think we missed it this time :( normally I O on CD 12 but FF says it was CD 10 & we didn't get a chance to DTD until CD 11. Not holding out any hopes at this stage anyway!
