Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ June 08

[Where there's hope]

Vanaithi - glad you are enjoying the PreSeed.!

PLC - hope you are feeling better. A friend of mine is almost 8 months and she has caught everything possible going round this pregnancy (she already as a DS). Hope you enjoyed the movie.

KrystieLove - sounds soooooooo promising! Your ob sounds really nice.

Jodsan - so impressed with your application of this lunar business. I looked up my chart and the fertile days were past O. So we may do some extra BD. How does doing it twice bring on spontaneous O? Very interested!!

BettyBoop - sorry about your appointment. That type of thing drives me crazy, especially with short notice.

Jen - with the BBT - I have developed a silly habit of waking at 4.30 every morning. Dh hates it because of the "beeping" at such and ungodly hour. Then I rewake after 6. I use the 4.30 temp on my chart because you are mean't to have 3 (or is it 4) consecutive hours sleep for it to be your resting BBT. Your 4.15 temp would be more accurate than the 6am one because you did not get back to sleep. On the PreSeed - it was me who recommended the cough syrup syringe. Though now that I am using it again I can see what you mean. Maybe cut a hole in the other end and use the syringe each time. Glad wrap the original applicator. Sterilize the syringe in boiling water. For me, if there is some left over, it is nice to apply the left overs to DH for a treat. Sorry if this has sounded too intimate

AFM - sporadic bleeding on day 8/9 has well and truly left. I have narrowed it down to weird hormones or maybe endo on my RH ovary and will probably investigative surgery next month. Still not understanding whether follicles should be present in both ovaries on Day 9 and would still value anyone's input? But we are TTC this month anyways. DH has a mild flu, so it is just wham bam thankyou mam, rather than a smoochy love-fest. But very greatful for his efforts.

Have a great weekend everyone

I'm at work but had to sneak on to let out my frustration and fear...

My temp went down a bit this morning!! And my chart is looking more like one of my non-preg cycles. I'm trying not to read too much into it, but I think AF is going to come before I get the bt results back (have to wait until Tuesday because of monday being a public holiday). FF says AF is due tomorrow

Sorry about the downer post. I'll pop back later today, hopefully a bit cheerier.

krystielove; your temps are still sitting higher that your pre O tmps, so its not over yet!

DH and i have been chanting the mantra "this months our month, this months our month"!
lets hope it works!

[Jodsan]

Hey where there's hope - Apparently you have a better chance at Oing on your lunar time if you are having lots of sex, so we went for it

Kristielove - I agree with Tina, you may have just been a little colder or something. It's never over til AF comes!

Thanks Tina and Jodsan. I know I shouldn't loose heart yet. I'm still feeling a little down, but I'm going to hold onto a little hope, and I think my temp tomorrow morning will tell me what I need to know.

And Jodsan, I hope you managed to spontaneously ovulate! 2 chances are better than one

Vanaithi - I'm so glad that the preseed went well for you! I also peeked at your chart again, but I'm not sure what's going on for you. Sorry

Jen - The silly public holiday means I get a day off work (yay!), but also means I have to wait until Tuesday for the test results. I think I'll probably know one way or the other before the test results come back. I'll still keep my fingers a little crossed.

WTH - I'm been seeing Dr Pregs Pillay and he's been really fantastic. Even when I was crying after we found out we lost our angel, he was just so understanding but at the same time talked to me about the situation.
I'm glad your bleeding has stopped. I'm still not sure about the follicle thing either... My ob said he could see follicles on my left ovary where I ovulated from, but didn't mention much about my right ovary other than to say they both looked nice and healthy. Not sure if that means there were no follicales on the right though, or if he just didn't mention them.

Toccara - I agree with everything Jen said. It's really hard to know if you've ovulated unless you have bloods/ultrasound done (I think) or if you are temping. I find temping really enjoyable as I get to know my body more and because I feel like I am doing something productive towards conceiving. I can always feel when I ovulate, but I know a lot of ladies can't. If you are still TTC, I would probably suggest to continue bd'ing every couple of days until you are sure that you have ovulated. Good luck!!

Hi ladies,

Just dropping in to say and let you all know that I am now on my third of five days of taking Clomid. As yet I have had no side effects I am so pleased. AF has left and everything is going well at this stage this cycle, into the clinic on Wed for BT and scan to see how things are progressing.

Will be back in the next day or so for persies, hope you are all well and enjoying the weekend!

The extension is finally finished. YAY. The shower screen was installed yesterday. Now the rest of the reno is up to us. Time for that cyber house warming party - break out the cyber drinks, PLC you can have as much as you want and it won't hurt a bit.

I'm having a very quiet day today, DH and DS's have gone camping for the night, they'll be back tomorrow and then we are all going up to our friends house at the Bay, (near the beach) for the night, we'll be staying with our friend and his three sons (his wife is in Sydney for the weekend), so should be very noisy but lots of fun. I've spent the day doing lots of retail therapy.

Megsmum - that's great that you have no side effects this time, hope that clomid works for you.
KrystieLove - hope your temps go back up for you, maybe you were just a little colder this morning.
Tina K - THIS IS YOUR MONTH - I'll just help you with your mantra
WTH - All the best this month, hope DH feels better soon
Jen - your chart looks great, lol, looking forward to seeing lots more dots and in a few days there will be a red cross as well.
