    Morning ladies, hope you're all having a good one.
    Satya- hi. I'm not sure of the tests that I had to be honest. I had a couple regarding clotting after my 2nd MC, but they didnt do the full gamut because I wasnt technically "recurrent" at that point, and as it turns out was preg with my daughter at the time. This time round, I was actually a suspected partial mole so that involved weekly bloods until 0 Hcg, which took about 6 weeks, then they blood tested for pretty much everything under the sun, antibodies etc. All I know is it took about 7 vials and even the pathologist commented it was alot. It's hard when you have to put your faith in the docs, abit like trusting the mechanic, but I do implicitly trust my gyn so that helps.
    What I want to know is how you guys stay so positive? Now I know there's nothing "fixable" I worry that its all chance, and It's going to keep happening. How do you keep going? I know I desperately want more children, I just wish I didn't have to be the one to be pregnant to achieve it! I feel like just when I'm all positive and go go go, I hit a snag, and end up where I was before (emotionally exhausted). Sorry for such a long venting session, thanks for listening

    Beaksie, it is very hard to stay positive sometimes, but I think that coming in here and talking with women who are having similar and the same kind of experiences as you helps, especially when you see them getting bfp's it used to make me think, well if they can do it, then so can I. I hope you find the strength to carry on on this emotional rollercoaster of TTCAML :hugs:

    Hi Everyone,
    So glad I came to check in...

    Sharon - CONGRATULATIONS!! What fantastic news! So very happy for you! Hoping you have a long healthy pregnancy! Yay!!

    Starrysky - So sorry for your loss Hope the bleeding eases soon.

    Satya - I'd be getting frustrated at the wait too, hope it doesn't take much longer.

    Curl - The wait is frustrating, isn't it It's been nearly 7 weeks since my latest m/c and still no sign of AF...wish it would hurry, if anything just to indicate this cycle is finally over!

    Penny - With OPK's, the test line needs to be the same color or darker then the test line....not sure why your dr would say otherwise???!!! Hope you get that darker line soon.

    Beaksie - Glad your appointment went well - sometimes it's easier to know, than not know, isn't it. I've had a few friends take baby aspirin after recurrent m/c and have had success with it.

    Kiwigirl - Looks like the signs are pretty good, everything crossed for you!

    Kbowman - Hi hun, how are you going???

    Lizjessie - Yay for AF! Now remember to send her this way

    I'm finally feeling better about everything, and the most exciting thing happened last week, I ovulated on my own, first time ever! We got so excited that we are now considering transferring my last frostie while my body is doing what it should...but I need AF to arrive before I can do anything!!! Will see what happens over the next week or two now!

    Hope everyone is well
