TTC after Miscarriage or Loss ~ August 2007

Hi guys.

Treelo - thanx for the welcome back ... mum's place was great as she always cooks her yummy home made chicken soup! So sorry to hear about Lawson going missing but so glad it all ended up okay. I can't imagine the feelings you must have felt! And good luck matey! Hope your cycle is back to being regular and that AF stays away!

kbowman - lots of cm sounds like a good sign!!! Here's hoping it's good news in 2 weeks for you.

nexttime - have you tested yet hun? Good luck!

lizjessie - hope your cycle goes back to normal for you.. your journal for next month sounds exciting.

clairabel - thanx for your good advice about temps and LPs.

Satya - hope you are feeling much better hun. I am glad that you splashed out a little and had coffee etc... sometimes we need to break out a bit or life would be too boring! Hoping you are feeling heaps better.

las - sending you lots of love and support. Hope you are feeling stronger and better soon matey.

megsmum - congrats on your pregnancy! Hope ti all goes smoothly for you hun. your blood results numbers look great!

sweetpetite - that icecream idea sounds like a goer!!! Might have to try it...any excuse to eat yummy stuff, i reckon!

sharon19270 - hope AF stays away for you this cycle! (and guess what... my name and my hubby's name are both the same as you guys!!! Small world, huh?)

ems- - how exciting planning your wedding!!! What a beautiful joyous thing to look forward to.

hj1981 - hi matey and welcome aboard. I am sorry if you've had the same misfortune as all of us... hope you and all of us can board the next plane to Preggoville sometime soon.

Big hellos and howdys to everybody i've missed (a hug to you all).

As for me, we are currently in the BD phase!!! I hate how it has to be so planned... there's not much spontaneity at the moment! But here's hoping to get a few good 'dances' in this time round!

Take care guys and chat soon.

Well just a quick update....AF has showed this evening....almost right on time....lucky me.

Sorry about AF arriving, Treelo :hug: Hope next cycle is the one for you! :hug:

Welcome hj1981, looking forward to getting to know you! Good luck with your TTC journey. :D

Littlescottishboy, spontaneity = jump on him every chance! Well, that's what it means for me! :p Hope you get lots of BD action and that you both enjoy every moment!

Goodnight :bedtime:

Hi guys - I thought I would be the only one at the computer on a Saturday night!!!
DP has a cold so we cancelled out trip to the snow for tomorrow (no need to get up early tomorrow now!) - DS is complaining loudly about missing out on all the snow fun...

Treelo - sorry to hear that AF has showed up for you as well :(. At least it's a sign that things are back on track... How is DH doing? Has he recovered from Chickenpox?

hj1981 - welcome!

Kbowman - I have ordered stacks of OPKs from LC, they are sooo much cheaper!!:D Thanks for putting me on to their website. Lots of CM sounds very good - I cross my fingers that will see a BFP at the end of your tww :pray:

Littlescottishboy - have lots of fun :dance:this weekend - hope you'll catch the egg!

Goodnight everyone! Hello and hugs to everyone I missed

Treelo - At least AF arrived, and you can now start planning for the TTC end of things.

littlescottishboy - Thanks! I can't wait for next month already! :D

Managed to hold off testing till this morning .... was a BFN !! Am very confused now as cramping has stopped and have been getting alot of cm . So am now thinking I didn't ovulate two weeks ago and that it is happening now !! Makes for a very long cycle .... not sure what to think and just wish af would show up now so that at least i can start thinking about next cycle rather than being stuck in this one. Not often I am happy to see af but bring it on ! DH is very confused as well as I am making him perform just in case !! Sorry to be all about me but haven't quite worked how to remember all that's going on and type up a new post at the same time... will have to start taking down some notes and then type up my message.:wall:
Hope everyone else is going well and good luck with BD and testing.

Nexttime - Sorry to hear you got a BFN :(. Are you still charting? What are your temps like? If your temps are still up, maybe it was too early to test?!
That's the only thing I can think off...

Good evening everyone. yes, i'm on the computer on a Sunday night. I'm at my parents place at the moment.

Las: My wedding is on the 1st September. 3 weeks to go!!! Its mostly all organised but it's been difficult as I've been at my parents place a lot (helping them out) and they live 2 and a half hours north of Sydney where my DF is. It does make it fun when we get to see each other though. In fact, we barely saw each other in April and I still managed to fall pregnant so something's obviously working. How are you feeling?

Satya: I hope you are feeling better everyday. I am also eating all the things I couldn't when I was pg but will begin to be good again as soon as this m/c is over.

LizJessie: I hope your cycle goes back to normal for you- I'm sure it will. I'm sending you positive vibes.

Treelo: You are so extremely busy! I would be feeling stressed if I had as much to organise as you. Good on you for doing it though and don't orry about the other Mums, some people just don't know how to be supportive. I'm sorry that AF arrived, but at least you know it's all working well and you can start BD again really soon. You can catch the egg next time. :pray:

Kbowman: My appointment with my OB went well thanks. he said to wait a coule more weeks if I wanted and if nothing happened, I could have the D&c this week which will still give me enough time before the wedding. thankfully, it all seems to be moving on it's own, although it's very slow but at least it's happening. I will call him tomorrow to let him know and see what he says then. Super good luck for your TWW! :goodluck: I hope it will be a BFP 4 U!!! Where did you drive to?

hj1981: Welcome. I hope you are not here for long but I think while you are, you'll find it very welcoming and hopefully helpful. I'm glad to see that you are happy. :D

nexttime: So sorry that you had a BFN. :cry: Hopefully it will happen 4 U next month.

Hello to everyone I missed.

littlescottishboy wow what a coincidence with both our names and DH's names being the same.
treelo sorry to hear that AF arrived for you, hope she doens't stick around for very long.
kbowman just went and stalked your chart and it looks very similar to how mine looks, especially if you overlay them, lets hope that's a good sign.
Nexttime sorry to hear you got a BFN but maybe it was just too early, give it a couple more days and test again. When was AF due to arrive?

I am now 7dpo, and I just couldn't help myself this morning and tested, and naturally it was BFN. I don't have any other tests in the house and will try and hold off testing until at least 10dpo. FF says I shouldn't be testing until Wednesday week, but I think if AF is coming it will happen before then, and if it happens to come before the weekend I will have my scrapbooking retreat to take my mind off the fact that this cycle didn't work.

That's all from me for now, hi to everyone I missed.

Just overlaid our charts, Sharon, and yep, they're uncannily similar! :lol: So I hope you'll be getting a :bfp: at 10dpo! I'll be doing well to last until I'm 10dpo before testing as I've just bought another 25 10miu piac sticks. Will try though! :cryinglaugh:

Ems, three weeks to go woohoo!! :clap: You must be so excited! Glad things seem to be moving along all on their own but it is good to have a back up plan. Hmmm, where was I driving... Last week I got to Canberra, Narrandera, Wagga and Griffith and this week I get to go to Sydney. Yay for me that I don't have to drive all the way to Sydney, only as far as Griffith to catch a plane. I'm worrying about getting thrombosis from sitting so long on my big bottom. LOL

Nexttime, sorry you got a BFN. :( Hoping it's just too early to test for you. Fingers are still crossed for a BFP! *sticky vibes*

Yay, Penny, on your stack of OPKs. No chance of missing O now! :p

Off to bed for me - I've been singularly slack this weekend but was so tired I needed a rest today. Hope you all have a good week!

Kerry I just bought a 25pack of HPT's too, so hopefully they will be here by Tuesday since where they are coming from is only a few suburbs away from me, and you can guarantee that I will test as soon as they come LOL

ems - Good luck with the wedding :D

kbowman - Good luck! I'm crossing fingers for a :bfp: for you!

Sharon - Let us know how everything goes! :crossfingers:

As for me, I tested on Wednesday and got a :bfn: but I've got REALLY sore bb's now and I'm feeling sick - We've not done anything lately, but I still think I could be because we kinda DTD about 4 days before O'ing, so maybe I'm late, or maybe I've got to expect AF to arrive in 8 days ;) Either way, I honestly don't care!

ems - wow thats so exciting about your wedding, its such a beautiful time of year too. I got married in September and it was just perfect....i hope it all goes to plan.

LJ - i hope AF comes really soon hun, then you can get serious about trying. How is DF going?

Sharon - good luck with the testing !!!! hopefully you will only need one !!!!!

Nexttine - Im sorry about the BFN hun, fingers crossed that next month will be your month !!

Penny - I hope DH is feeling a bit better. Good luck for this cycle.

Kbowman - I hope you enjoyed your lazy weekend and got plenty of rest. Good luck with your testing, everything is crossed for you hun.

hj1981 - how are you doing hun? were are you with your cycle at the moment?

littlescottishboy - hope you catch the egg hun!!!!!!!

As for me.....i woke up to Lawson with some very big spots on his face....a few on his tummy as well.....no guessing what they are.....yep its chicken pox !
So more time off work and back to the dr's. I hate to think how many people he gave it to at the Ekka yesterday???
Well AF is being a nightmare.....worse than normal, but since its the first one after the m/c, im not too concerned. Im just really keen to get straight into it and hopefully catch the egg this time.

hugs
treelo

treelo - DF is going well. Since he saw the doctor in May, he's lost 24.8kgs in 8-9wks! I'm so proud of him :D

There is no way to do personals there is so much going on. I have been keeping up a bit but went camping this weekend and just got back today.


Treelo sorry about the pox outbreak and AF, trying times but it will get better just know we are thinking about you.

Satya~ I honestly have a really good feeling for you and I just know it will happen soon and stick, I JUST KNOW IT :)

I am doing ok, living life and trying to finish up school I am 3 weeks late Af but I am almost certain that I just skipped a month and it will be right on track this month. DH and I BDed on the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 10th and 12th we arn't "trying" the only thing I am keeping track of is bding I figure if I get AF on the 24th or so then I could have O'ed my regular time if not than thats ok. :)

Kiwigirl~ Your on my mind I hope the bleeding stops soon and your back on ttc. :)

I almost forgot... I graduate this coming Saturday and I have a huge project for a class due this week it is on relationships, trust, cell phones its completely annoymous but i need 200 people to take my survey by Wednesday it only takes 5 min. or less. just copy paste link and it will bring you to it. :) I would appreciate it soooooo much!!!

Diane

one survey completed !!

Treelo Thank you so much!! This whole summer school thing is nuts, everything happens so fast almost done. :) Again THANK YOU!

Hi everyone, I have been following these threads (best I can trying to work out abbreviations) it's strangely comforting knowing other people feel exactly as I do......I miscarried nearly two weeks ago I have stopped bleeding now and am nearly back to normal so I guess I wait to have a Period now before I can try again?
Please can you tell me with the abbreviations you all use what some of them are Like AF,BFP,DH? UM sorry that;s all I remember hahaha but any you think I need to know would be great! I have looked on this site to try find them but no luck....I can never find my login number so have to keep resetting that which is frustrating too! :) also just curious why all of a sudden is it time for a new thread? is there a limit on posts or something? sorry for all the questions but I would like to be able to get to know you all a bit better!
Thanks Dawn :)

Hi Dawnee,

There is a thread somewhere that does explain everything but here are a few.

DH - Dear Husband
AF - Aunt Flow = monthly period
BFP - Big Fat Positive !!
BFN - Big Fat Negative

try this https://www.bellybelly.com.au/forums/showthread.php?t=27731[/URL]

Im so sorry for your loss. Everyone here is very lovely and will definatly be able to help your healing process.

hugs
treelo

Thanks Treelo.......ahhhhh she says now they make sense must admit AF I would never have guessed :) Did I read you have chicken Pox? you poor thing if you have.....Don't they call it shingles when you are an adult?
Satya: I am sorry for your loss and I understand your returning to work Drama I have yet to do that.....I think I will return Monday though....I wasn;t in a hurry to return as I have been really sick and besides I am a Paramedic so I wasn't ready to look after lots of other sick people when I was feeling Crap! selfish huh?

Hi Dawneee, sorry for your loss. I can give you some more abbreviations DF=dear fiance, DP=dear partner, DD=dear daughter, DS=dear son. They create new threads when the old ones get too full. I hope your stay here is a short one.

Just a quick drop in. Have already had to deal with the news of someone else's pregnancy - luckily not someone I personally have to deal with, just someone I know of but it got to me because she's accidentally pregnant and doesn't know who the father is.... unbelievable.

My temperature finally went right down today (it had been dropping ever so slightly) so now I'm waiting to O. Last time it happened 2 weeks after the m/c so I will just have to wait and see if it happens again this time.... if it does it should happen in within the next week.

Sorry for the lack of personals but I have not had time to read through the posts. I will have to try and catch up on them.

Dawnee - No i dont have chicken pox, my husband got it two weeks ago and today my 3 year old son came out in spots. Im waiting for my older son to get it now. But it all makes me believe that everything happens for a reason. I had my m/c two weeks before my dh got them.

Satya - just want to send you huge hugs sweety....just take each day as it comes.

hugs
treelo

MegsMum :happyforyou: Congratulations on the BFP! Sorry this is so late. I wish you a happy & healthy pg with a gorgeous scrummy bub in your arms in 8mths.
Zennie :confetti: Congratulations on the BFP :confetti: I hope you and DP work something out. Neither you nor your bub need the stress right now.
TwoMums Megan I am so sorry to read about your dad. It must be a really difficult thing to go through, like entering another phase of your life. I hope you feel free to put down your feelings about that in here as well. Good luck with the tww.
Cherie I know this is a bit late, but your mum's poem is beautiful & touching.
Kerry I didn't get the job in the dodgy area. This job is a much better one, but I will be working with DH! Don't have to do nearly as much travel as you seem to do tho!
Satya I'm sorry you've had a difficult return to work. It will get easier. From what I've read, IVF sounds really really hard. There seems to be likelihood of disappointment at so many points in the cycle. You can concieve naturally, and that is the main thing that IVF seems to help. Although I think they can also screen for embryos that aren't growing well, and reduce the likelihood of m/c a bit that way. Have you thought of seeing a recurrent m/c clinic at the same time?
Rachael :hugs: You poor thing. A m/c is hard enough without having to go thru the same m/c twice. If it helps, its exactly what I keep thinking "I wish I was (still) pregnant". I assumed you'd taken a break from work? Can you not take some time off and/or get someone else to do your work for a while? Can your manager not tell the client that you are having some health probs and to lay off a bit? I hate it when clients treat you like a robot. I hope the bleeding stops soon and the anemia eases up. Big :hug:
zionsmom I hope your missing AF stays missing because of a BFP. Good luck with it. Oh and I filled out your survey.
SweetPetite How exciting! You are so close to starting ttc. I wish you all the best.
Las IVF is not an easy thing to go thru and to m/c after a successful cycle must be devastating. I hope it all gets easier for you, and that your break makes you even stronger.
Treelo How stressful! What a relief it must have been to find Lawson again! I hope you never have to go thru that again. Bummer about AF tho.
LittleScottishBoy Oooh! You're in the best part of the cycle. Happy dancing!
Dawnee Welcome but at the same time, I'm sorry you have to be in here. Its not selfish at all to look after yourself first. Its responsible.

I haven't started chemo yet. The last week my HCG has moslty been dropping but v slowly. So the doc is happy to monitor my levels for a while in case it goes down naturally. So at the moment, I'm living BT to BT. If I get a high result, I'll have to start chemo and not be able to TTC for 18mths. But if it goes down, I wait till the next BT. Makes my life hard to plan, but could be worse. After a long dark miserable period, I finally feel positive again. And have a little hope that I might be able to start ttc sometime this year instead of Jan 2009!

I've been keeping myself busy with shopping, picnic-ing, partying and am going to join the gym again tonight. I need to be able to fit into my new clothes after all the boozing!

zionsmum - I'll do it after my job interview tomorrow ;)

pash - good luck with the chemo when you do start it.

Satya - You know we love you here, so I hope you feel better soon. I actually had an episode today - I went to visit my grandmother and this woman stopped right in front of me... Pram and all and I almost bawled my eyes out because the bub was just so gorgeous and I can't believe that I'll never get to meet my lil angel *sighs* Sorry!

Me, well I'm ok - went to poker tonight and came 4th! Yay! Anyways, I've been getting really bad cramps, although my bbs really hurt and I'm smelling things alot stronger again - I'm not going to take a test yet, not until it goes past the 7days and I still haven't seen AF

Hi, this is my first post in the M/C thread. Thought I better introduce myself as I will be TTC again soon.
I had a D & C 6 weeks ago and I'm still waiting for AF, I think she might be due to visit soon, or so I'm hoping. I have continued to temp and FF said I O'd on 1st Aug, so I'm 13Dpo, I had a massive temp drop this morning and felt a little crampy today. Timing was not great for catching the egg though, which is not a bad thing, the OB did say wait for AF before trying again.

I hope I won't be around for long but also wishing everyone here also gets to graduate to a BB group too.

Just a quickie...more later.

Zionsmom: Filled out your survey. Much luck on your project! :goodluck:

Charlotte: Welcome. I am sorry for your loss. Seems we are almot TTC kin in here. I had a D&C 5 weeks ago this week (Jul 12) and also O'ed on Aug 1. And I'm still waiting for AF. Hope we both get it very soon! :crossfingers:

Treelo: My, my you are the busy bee! Sorry to hear about AF but at least you know everything is back to normal. And with all the stress and craziness you’ve been through lately, that’s quite an accomplishment! Sorry to hear that your DS has the chickenpox – I hope his case is a very mild one.

Hj1981: Welcome! Sorry for your loss. I think you will find this to be a good place to cry, rant, worry and rejoice.

Satya: I’m sorry going back to work has been so tough. I’m glad to hear this latest pg news is not someone in your immediate vicinity – hopefully that will help some. Those ‘accidents’ are so hard to bear when you’ve been through so much trying to get there. My sister had one last year (at least she knows who the father is!). So when I m/c’ed, she practically had a newborn. On top of that, we were giving her some things (like a bouncy seat) that she could ‘borrow’ but I really thought I’d be needing them back sooner than later. Now every time I visit and see that stuff it just reminds me that I won’t be needing it back as soon as I’d hoped. But I’m still taking it back when her DS outgrows it – I still plan on needing it again. And you’ll be needing all that stuff soon too. We are all pulling for you! :hug:

LizJessie: Its seems that sometimes not trying is the best time for that BFP! You never know. But if it stays a BFN for you, I hope AF shows up quickly so you can make it happen. Good luck on your job interview!

Well, I think I may have passed a hurdle with DH - what a relief! I hadn’t brought up TTC yet b/c I figured I should wait one cycle and that would give me time to figure out how to broach the subject. But DH brought it up himself! Seems he was under the impression we had to wait 6 wks after the D&C just to BD. I explained to him that it was only 2 and that’s when he said oh, maybe 6 wks to try again. So I told him about how technically we could try right away but many doctors recommend one cycle so that’s what I was waiting for. But I also told him that I was past the time when I might get pg so he was ready to get it on! And he didn’t even bring up using protection. So hopefully from here on out I can just do as before and let him know when it’s the right time. Come on AF!!

I actually thought she was coming. Friday I had a bit of bleeding but it was dark reddish-brownish. I figured it was just the end of the D&C before the beginning of AF. And for the 2 days before that I had to wee often and was in more chocolate than I should have been. I thought for sure AF was coming. But then nothing. Saturday I smelled blood which is also often a prelude and Sunday I had quite a bit of cm show up on my knickers. I don’t expect AF until sometime mid-end this week but could that little bit have been AF – just screwed up b/c of the D&C?

Sorry so long! Best to all!

Hey~ I felt weird asking people to take my survey on here but thank you to all who did, it really means a lot to me. :) I know we are all busy and stressed right now. :) Again I am soooo grateful! Grad countdown on!

Good luck with your project, Diane! I did the survey last night. You'll have a few Aussies there, now - hope we don't skew your data :p Happy graduation this Saturday - so close :dance:

Pash, glad you didn't end up in the dodgy area and working with DH will have its bonuses! Woohoo on the hCG coming down of its own accord, :pray: that every bt brings good news so that you don't have to have the chemo treatment. Been thinking of you heaps!

Welcome Charlotte77, you've landed in a very supportive thread. Look forward to enjoying the rollercoaster ride that is TTC after M/C or Loss! :)

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, LizJessie, well done on the fourth place!

Satya, hope it's O around the corner for you. Temperature drop is a good sign.

Hi there Dawnee, yes the threads tend to change after about 150 posts. The TTC 1-6 months turn over very fast so tend to get a bit bigger. Good luck with your return to work on Monday.

Yay on the HPTs Sharon! We can be PIACaholics together!

Ok must run - today I go to Sydney! Big temperature rise for me this morning, hope it's a good sign and not that I was just hot and didn't sleep fabulously. Look forward to catching up again on Thursday night.

Welcome to the thread Charlotte - I hope your stay here is a short one, unlike myself. I was almost on my way out of here recently only to find I had to stay.

Treelo - you poor thing having chicken pox in the household. I remember having them as a kid and I was miserable - must have made my mum's life hell.

Pash - I don't think we have recurrent m/c clinics here in Australia (if we do ladies please correct me) you just see a gyno or a FS which I've already done. I have written to my gyno with my thoughts on giving clomid a couple of goes (cos I know if I will chicken out if I went to see him, plus he doesn't want to see me til after the lap anyway) so I will just wait and see if he gets back to me about that. I'm pretty sure that's what I will push for anyway after it as I really don't think I need IVF, maybe just some drugs to help things along. I hope your HCG goes down soon so you can avoid chemo.

Lizjessie - It's so horrible when stuff like that happens. At least you held the tears away. After my second m/c I burst in to tears when the only top I liked in Big W was a maternity one - it was just awful, luckily my DF was with me so he just hugged and kissed me right there in the middle of the store until I came good again - it can hit you when you least expect it.

Anyway, I'd better get to work. Hi to everyone I've missed. So hard trying to catch up after a few days off.

Okay next question I feel really silly but what does the temp rise and drops mean.....I am very lucky to have conceived no problem before so have never had to know this stuff! and I've read some people saying they fall again straight away....without waiting for a cycle? I thought you would have to have at least one AF before trying again?

zionsmum - I have done your survey - good luck with it! :)
Pash - I hope that your HCG levels keep dropping down :pray:. Does that mean that you don't need chemo? I keep my fingers crossed for you!
KBowman - I had a look at your chart, the temp rise looks promising :pray: Hope that there will be a BFP for you at the end of your tww :pray:
Sweetpetite - my first AF after D&C was shorter than normal and very brownish (sorry for TMI), so I guess what you saw might have been AF?!
Charlotte - Welcome! I am very sorry for your loss :(. Hopefully your stay here will be a short one...
Satya - I am sorry to hear that you had to put up with more pregnancey news at work... Thankfully not someone you work closely with! Take it easy and big hugs :hug:
Dawnee - temperature rise and drops refer to temperature charting for those who take their temps every morning. Check out www.fertilityfriend.com for more info on charting your BBT.
My ob said it was ok to start ttc straight away without waiting for AF. Best to check with your doctor what he thinks...
Treelo - I hope that Lawson will get over his chickenpox quickly and that he is not too miserable... Hope that AF is over for you quickly and that you can ttc asap. (By the way - are you still planning on putting your every 2 day theory into effect? :D)

As for me I think AF is just about finished and I am off to my 6 weeks check up after D&C appointment today with my ob. Feeling a bit apprehensive about it since he has the waiting room wall plastered full of absolutely gorgeous baby photos...

Hugs to all I have missed.

zionsmom: Thanks for asking after me Diane... you know I really hope we end up PG at the same time after all our sagas!! I hope you get signs of something soon :) I did your survey.

Dawneee and charlotte_77: Sorry for your loss. I hope your time in this topic is short :)

satya: Are you going to try again this cycle? Are people at work being OK?

Megsmum: CONGRATS!!! YAY!!!

pash: Thanks heaps for your messages to me. In the end, my DH wrote to my client on my behalf and explained the seriousness of things and the client wrote a nice note hoping I feel better soon (didn't apologise but he's not the kind of person I would expect to). I REALLY hope your hcg keeps coming down. Mine took about 6 weeks?? I really want to go back to the gym and lose some weight I put on this year while pregnant as soon as I have the energy!! Yay about the new clothes (nothing like new clothes to feel fresh about life) :)

kbowman: Good luck holding out for testing, I really hope this is your month!! Have fun in Sydney :)

Penny: Hope the appointment goes well and you get the all clear.

Hi to everyone else I've missed.

I'm doing well. Over my low of last week and feeling much better since I stopped bleeding from the D&C; only took a week this time. I'm hoping I O in the next few days and that my cycle isn't too mucked up this month. The doctors told me to take two weeks off work, or work from home - which is what I'm doing. I have heaps more energy than last week, still not like normal but getting there.

sweetpetite - I know what you mean, we'd never planned the last one, and when I m/c'ed, it made me realise how much I actually wanted a child of my own *sighs* So now we're now ready to actually start trying now. I'm hoping I've either tested too early or I've got AF on the way so I can start properly charting.. Oh and thanks for the good luck, I need it!

zionsmum - Completed the survey :D

satya - I know, I really really felt bad when I saw it, but (and this sounds weird, but it's the only way I can think of explaining it) do you know that 'baby' smell?? Well, it was lingering in the air and I could smell it :dunno: It's just made me very meh at the time - You've got a fantastic DF if he does that for you in the shops

Dawneee - It's always best to wait for one cycle- or two even, reccomended by the doctor, but if you don't wanna wait, then you don't have to :)

Penny - Well AF seems to have stopped already?? It lasted 2 days - not that im complaining, and it was very heavy...but now nothing....cant wait to O now...i have ordered my pregnancy test from LC, so now im just waiting.
As for the every 2nd day, i guess there is no point after O, but the week up to O, yes every second day and more if i can convince him just around O time. He says im nasty ?????

hugs
treelo

Lizjessie - yep my DF really is fantastic, I am very lucky to have him.

Kiwigirl - we are trying this cycle. We can't afford to not try... that clock is ticking faster and faster. I am about to start the overdosing on the evening primrose oil as that seemed to do the trick last cycle... it's the only thing I did differently.

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to say a big, big thank you to you all for the messages of congratulations. Believe me, I really do appreciate them all, especially knowing from bitter experience how difficult it can be soon after a m/c hearing other peoples pregnancy news. I'm so touched just knowing what a supportive group of ladies this is!!

I guess its time I headed over to the PAML thread now, but I wanted to wish everyone here all the very best for TTC and I want to see heaps of BFPs coming out of here really soon!! :D

Heaps of :bluedust: to you all!

Looks lIke AF will be arriving tomorrow, I have had some spotting today. Which means the start of a new chapter.

dawneee and charlotte_77- welcome! I hope you havea very brief stay here with this fantastic group of Women. I'm very sorry for your loss and I hope that you find lots of support and info here.

Diane- I hope you get all the surveys filled out that you need. I found it really fun. Good luck with your graduation! I wasn't in the country for my grad which was a bummer. I hope you really enjoy it.

Satya- Good luck with trying again. :crossfingers: I want to start trying again ASAP. There's no time to waste. I'm only young but my DF already thinks he's too old. He really wants children now which is fantastic but sad that it hasn't happened yet. It will though, it will!!!

I rang my Ob yesterday and explained about my 2-3 weeks of spotting and the 3 days of light bleeding. he said that it seems as though my body has acknowledged the M/c but it's moving along a bit slow. maybe i should come in and see him. As I'm at Mum and Dad's working at the moment, I said I'd wait a couple more days. Today, i woke up, went to the toilet and it started to pour out! Sorry for TMI! :shhh: It's been continuing on all day but I still haven't had any real cramping, just a general ache and heavy feeling. Well, we'll wait and see. If it all comes out, I won't need the D&C. I'm having a balancing tomorrow, so maybe that'll help? :dunno: I can't wait to start TTC again.

Hello to everyone. I hope you are all well. Take care.
