Treelo, I'm really sorry to hear that AF arrived. Afraid I can't help with the cycle questions as I've never had a cycle without ovulation being forced by drugs. From what I have read, it's not that unusual for things to get out of whack after a miscarriage. I hope that you can still enjoy your birthday when it gets here despite the bad news.

Starrysky, thank you for your welcome. It is certainly making it easier for me to see so many familiar faces here.

On my side of things - I'm still getting interesting hot flushes from my ovulation induction drugs, still feeling pretty unwell, but can feel that I'm improving now. DH finally comes home tonight (he's been gone since Wednesday morning for work), and I have my first blood test tomorrow morning. Feeling excited and scared about it, despite having had this drug work for me twice before, I'm starting to get really quite anxious over whether it will work this time... I'm starting to suspect the increase in anxiety levels is from hormonal changes, as I stop feeling so anxious once I ovulate. Does this happen to women who ovulate naturally? I'm trying to work out whether it's a natural response to the hormones my body is now making, something specific to me, or something specific to the drug that I'm using.
