    Megsmum - congrats on the BFP.

    I went to my GP today to see if there was anything more we could do but she wants to wait for the BT results tomorrow. If the HCG level has gone up I will be going for an ultrasound, if the level has gone down, then we all know what that means. The spotting has got worse but it's still not what I'd call bleeding. Not feeling confident about this at all. My BBs don't feel tender today and I don't think that's a good sign, however I almost vomited when I took my vitamins this morning so who knows.

    Oh Satya - sending you lots of hugs and hoping like crazy that your levels are still rising. Will check back in on you soon xx

    Sharon - So great to hear from you, but so sorry you are still going through this Truly hoping this month proves to be a better one for you xx

    megsmum - Congrats on your BFP! Wishing you a long, healthy pregnancy!

    Laura - welcome. So sorry for your loss and that you need to be here. This is my 2nd time back in here (2 consecutive losses this year, 4th in total). I truly hope you have that magic BFP again soon.

    timnic - GRRRR to AF She is a witch, I'm so sorry.

    How is everyone else going that was waiting to test or with appointments???

    No exciting news here, have to go for another BT on Friday, turns out I was given the wrong result 2 weeks ago My level was still at 9, but it should be ok now, but still not happy about the confusion....again!

    Back later to check in on those waiting news.

    satya - Sending you lots of and your way

    kbowman - Haven't tested yet, but DF wants to go to the shops later, so I'll pick up one then and let you all know. I'm still expecting it to say but it's just to keep my mind at ease - this Friday will be 6 weeks since m/c so now it's only 'Time Will Tell'

    megsmum - thankyou for the congrats about the engagement! It's still trying to sink in! :P

    Wow - there are so many posts!!!
    Satya - I am sending you lots of hugs and I for this little one to stick.
    Kbowman - Thanks for the info on OPKs, I will give the lullaby ones a go next cycle. I am glad to hear that you and DF could get together after all and hopefully you might have caught the eggie this month!!
    I have decided not to go o/s, how boring!!!! I am too obsessed with my cycle, I know I would go bananas ovulating over there and passing up on a chance to bd... I need to relax, I know
    Treelo - what a pity about the party! You have every right to feel the way you do. It is perfectly normal and part of the grieving I think. I feel the same every time I see my pregnant SIL (practically every Friday) and I am trying not to be too , but it is soooo hard!!!
    Littlescottishboy - good luck with Wed's u/s. Your previous charting is really valuable info for your next cycle. You'll be able to spot similarities etc... I started charting straight away after the D&C after one of the girls in this thread had recommended it and I am so glad I did now. I have been comparing it to my old ones a lot and I think I will also get onto fertility friend to check whether I am drawing the coverlines correctly...
    Enjoy your time at your mum's!
    Laui59 - Welcome to BB, I am glad you found us. I am so sorry for your loss, sending you a big
    Sharon - Hope you feel better soon. The positive OPK and CM sound promising - hopefully August will be your month!
    Zionsmum - I resisted charting a long time after a friend had passed on her thermometer to me (she used charting to conceive all her 3 kids). I think I had it lying around in the medecine cupboard for nearly a year! Now I am really into it as I find it the only reliable way for me to pinpoint ovulation. I have it next to my bed ready to go first thing when I wake up.
    Megsmum - Congratulations and lots of

    Hi to everyone I have missed!

    kbowman hope you got your nice strong +ve OPK today and got some BD'ing done. I am really starting to think about my m/c more lately and that is because 4 weeks from today will be my due date and I know that if i'm not pregnant by then I don't think I will cope with it very well at all.
    timnik77 sorry AF showed up hopefully she leaves nice and quickly.
    satya hope you get good news tomorrow, have my for you
    *las* thanks, I hope August is my month too.
    LizJessie did you test yet, or are you waiting until the morning?
    Penny this is the first time since my last pgcy that we actually managed to bd on the day of Ovulation, so hopefully it has worked.

    BBL to check if there is any more news.

    Sure did get my positive OPK today, Sharon, so we can cheer each other on over the TWW. My first EDD from last year's pg was in early June. To have miscarried a second time the month before it was awful. And I felt like a right failure when Mother's Day came and went. Fortunately, I had all you guys to give me lots of cyberhugs and sympathy. I'll be here for you whatever happens. If that's OK with you! In the meantime, let's think positively and imagine and Yes, please!

    Penny, with that go-get-'em attitude I think your TTC journey will be short and sweet! IKWYM about not wanting to miss valuable BD time. I get very frustrated if I think I'm going to miss out! lol

    LizJessie, good luck with your testing. Hoping good things for you!

    Las, arghh at the mix-up with your results. It's not good enough, is it. I'll be thinking of you on Friday.

    Satya, not that I'm glad that you nearly vomited, but it is a good sign that things are progressing okay. Hope the spotting has stopped and that the BT results tomorrow show a happy but naughty embie, burrowing in. Throwing bucketloads of stickyvibes your way!!

    Sorry to hear AF arrived for you, Timnik. Sometimes taking a break is the best thing to do. Hope it's not too long though and that you keep popping in to let us know how you're going. *hugs*

    Goodnight everyone. Will catch up properly tomorrow!

    The spotting turned in to light bleeding last night and it hasn't stopped. It's not looking good at all. I don't feel pregnant anymore if you know what I mean. My appointment is at 12.50 today and it's going to be a very slow morning waiting for it. I didn't go to work again as I knew I'd just spend half the day crying and the other half trying to explain to workmates why I was crying so it just seemed easier not to go. I started to cry while I was telling my boss I wasn't coming in, that will sure teach him for asking a female worker what's wrong with them!!!

    I will pop back in after my appointment.

    Satya -oh hun i dont really know what to say. Except that many women do get some sort of bleeding in the first 4 weeks of pregnancy, although im sure you know that and it isnt going to stop you worrying, I think that you really do need to think positive and just rest until your appointment. Hang in there hun, i know thats easier said than done. Im thinking of you so much, if you need someone to talk for a while you can get me on msn - treelo_9@hotmail.com

    sending big hugs to you sweety

    I'm home for two weeks, too exhausted with anaemia to get up and about. Feeling fine other than that though and keen to start TTC again. I decided not to wait this time for AF so when I stop bleeding from this D&C we'll try again.

    Goodluck Kiwigirl.
    I too nearly needed a transfusion from the heamorrhage that i had, and we started trying straight away once the bleeding stopped, which was about 4 days after my baby came out.

    I hope everything goes well for you and your time hear is short.

    hugs

    Hi ladies.

    The news was not good. HGC was down to 11 so there is no hope. I basically just have to wait for the m/c to complete now. So far it's taken on the same pattern of the last one so if it continues that way I should have no pain apart from a little lower back pain and it should all be over by the end of tomorrow. If it follows my first m/c then I will bleed lightly for two weeks.... again no pain. I have not passed any clots yet.

    I am absolutely gutted. I was pretty sure this would be the result as my gyno warned me I could m/c again if I did conceive before the lap (due to the suspected fibroid) but my GP disagreed.... looks like the gyno was right. I just felt different this morning so I knew it was going to be bad news, but I couldn't help but hold out for a miracle (I've seen it happen to others), which didn't come.

    Back to work for me tomorrow. The women I work with will know something's up as I have a reputation for not taking sick days and now I've taken 3 days off out of 4. I think I will just tell them what happened - get it out there and over and done with.
