Trying to Conceive after Miscarriage or Loss ~ May 08 #4

[Jodsan]

Hi girls, must try to be quick as DS is all over me.

Firstly - AJC - Yey!!! You must be soooo relieved. It was really worth getting into that appointment early, now you can relax instead of waiting til next week. I am so happy for you!

Issy - You sound much brighter today. Dont lose sight of conceiving naturally if it is only 4 months that you have been in with a "proper" chance. I am sure it's going to happen in the next couple of months (hopefully this one!).

Vanaithi - Maybe you should check to see if your cervix is open if you are having O pains. Sometimes I get pains about 4 days out from O so I just check my cervix everyday to make sure I dont O early. Mine usually opens about 12-24 hours b4 O, so I figure this is my most fertile time.

Mollycat - Ditto on what I said to Vanaithi above - I suggest checking your cervix if you are having O pains. I suspect it only opens when you are about O, that way you will know for sure.

SaraJane - Yey for finding somewhere to live!! Good luck with your TWW!

Mel, I agree with AJC - I'm sure the short plane trip to NZ will be fine (though I do understand your nervousness after a loss o/s). Hope it all goes well for you.

Megsmum - Thanks for your answer. I was kinda thinking along the same lines. I'm a bit anxious about getting the progesterone test cos I'm not sure I'll want to use the supplement anyway since my cycles are so regular. I might just stick with the trying to clear the excess estrogen for now and hopefully they'll rebalance naturally over the next month or two. Sorry to hear it looks like you might be moving onto assisted conception. Dont give up on this cycle yet though, sometimes no symptoms are a good sign. Have you tried a naturopath or acupuncture? I am such a big believer in trying to rebalance our bodies with natural herbs and diet and exercise. Maybe worth a thought if you really dont want to have to go on clomid again (I have heard so many horror stories about Clomid so I really feel for).

KristieLove - Yey for O!!! Good luck with your TWW!

Pbstar - We must have posted the same time. There is only a chance you can O at lunar time, do lots of BDing on 5th of June and see how you go. My lunar day is 5th June too!! I dont do teps, I just go on CM, cervix position and pains. It sounds to me like you O'd. Has it been colder in your bedroom that previous months?

Just a quick selfish post ladies.... I did another opk tonight and it was very positive - for the first time in my life my test line was darker than the control line. Whenever I've seen that written in the instructions I always thought the opk manufacturers where making things up!!

Looks like my body may finally be trying to get back to normal after the m/c....

Here is a great big and of course loads of to all

back to bed for me and dh - no rest for the wicked!!

KrystieLove--Woo hoo for O!! It sure makes for an easy cycle when things happen the way it's supposed to! you caught that egg!


megsmum--You're far from out of this race at only 8dpo! Chin up, hun, it's going to happen!


Mel--Yay, I'm glad you're still stalking us! We'd hate to lose you so soon! Have a safe trip to NZ--is this for business or pleasure?


SaraJane--Congrats on finding a new house! You've got a lot of work ahead of you, but always nice to do some spring cleaning when moving--you get to get rid of all the crap that's accumulated over the years! Good luck next week with the move! If anything, this should make your TWW fly by keeping you distracted!


mollycat--See we really ARE cycle buddies! Looks like we both had really late O for this cycle. Due to increased watery CM my fertile days were changed to the last 3 days, so I'm assuming I'm something like 1dpo. (?) Cervix is still very high, but seems like maybe it's closed, well it's definitely not as open as it was 2 days ago! It's still a little hard for me to tell, as this was the first time I ever noticed anything different about my cervix at all. How funny it would look to some outsider to see a woman checking out her cervix! Would probably turn my DF on! Did you ever try any movies of those movies with your DH? You said he would be shocked--shocked can be a good thing! Sounds like the extension's coming along great!


Hi Vanaithi! Glad AF was so easy on you this time around! So what's going on with your cervix? Now that I can tell a difference, and I know I actually have a cervix (lol), I'm sure I'll be checking more often!


AJC--Oh, I'm so happy for you that you got to get your scan done early! What a relief for you! Now you can have some peace of mind that all is well! I'm sure the bribery trip to Disneyland was all the incentive needed for your sticky little bub!


issy-- about the pole dancing! My mom always called me "Grace" when I was younger due to my lack of it! Not really too sure when I'll test now since I O so late this cycle. Am supposed to test on Sunday, but looks like my TWW just got extended, so I'm sure Sunday would be way too early. Just going to wait it out, what else can I do? You were great on all the personals, but didn't fill us in on how things are with you! Hope all's well!


pbstar-- Sorry you're so down. I know how hard it is not knowing if you've O, and not knowing what's going on in your cycle--it's been the same for me this cycle. Can't our bodies go easy on us for a change? you feel better about things soon. We'll miss you if you take a break from us, but we'll all understand if that's what you need to do!


Jodsan--What's up doc? Thanks again for all the lunar info--for all the info and advice that you always have to offer us!


jenushka-- :woot: on the +opk!! Sounds like you're enjoying your BD fest! Go catch that egg, wicked girl! At least you came up for air!


plc--How's it going baby mama? Haven't heard from you in a while, hope things are well with you and your little one!


mmteacher--Hi my preggie friend! Hope things are going well with you, as well!


smilanatu--Hey girl! Hope you're not too swamped with work!
