Powelly - welcome to our little support group. I am sorry to read of your loss. I think you will find we all understand where you are right now and sometimes it is hard to believe that we will feel any differently in the future. I have had so much support from the wonderful ladies here that I am sure you will too. I hope your TTC journey is a short one.
Samcougar - sorry I missed your post - big hugs for your BFN hun. Hope you're doing ok.
Dory - glad your furbaby is home safe and sound. They are a worry aren't they? I remember dropping one of my furbabies off at the vet and I bawled my eyes out because I was so worried about him. It was only a self inflicted injury from boisterous kitten antics that needed to be cleaned and stitched but still I worried. Have a great weekend too!
Gigi1 - hi hun. It is good to hear from you. Sorry that you have been unwell still. It must be your time to start feeling better very soon . Congrats on the nephew - wow 3 boys - DD would have been a tomboy with that lot around! Take care of yourself hun.
Tenibear - it is tricky to work out what is going on with your first cycle isn't? I had some weird first few cycles after my D&C it took 6 months for everything to settle down into a regular pattern again. I think a big part of that was from the stress I was carrying, even I thought I was dealing with it. It took a long holiday overseas for us to finally work through a lot of issues and learn to be happy again and not just exist day to day. For me that was a major turning point. I hope things work out for your soon and you get a regular cycle again, or a BFP, either one would be great!
Angelic - hope the blah days are almost gone for you. Thinking of you hun.
Hope - good work on the follies. Hope you get your BFP soon.
Hi to crumpet, charlieb and cmeglles. Hope you are all doing well.
AFM, still on clomid and managed to talk to my FS last night which was great. All seems to be going well and I have some fertile CM so hopefully I will be Oing any day now. I have another b/t on Monday so I will know more then. Otherwise I am doing fine - side effects of clomid seem to have dropped off so that is good but I have to keep my fluids up - I find I get thirsty very easily on clomid!
Welcome Powelly. I am sad you are joining this thread as it means you too have lost a much loved baby. I hope your new cycle is a bonus one for quite a while.
Chez we must be on the same time frame. I have a +OPK today and reckon by the feels of things that O is tonight.
Gigi funnily enough the cycles I had a cold or what appeared to be a cold are the ones I got BFPs on. Your body will conceive when it is ready and quite often does not depend on how sick you are. Look at the starving women in third world countries who still manage to fall pg and have babies. Amazing what the body can deal with.
Dory I had never heard of PCOS till I joined forums. It seems quite obvious now in friends I know. Even my neighbour when we lived in town. Had been married 10 yrs with infrequent AF and didn't even know she was pg. She only ever had the one though in her mid thirties. No assisted conception back in the early 70's.
Teni hopefully the wait is going to be worth it hun. I know how badly you want to see a BFP so I have everything crossed for you.
School holidays here so I may be absent. hugs and hope to you all

Well, I'm not on a 28-day cycle this time around, it seems. No AF, or any sign of her, but BFN on preg tests as well (Yeah, couldn't help myself so I've got no flipping idea when I Oed, and no idea when I should test. I'm still going to test on my birthday if AF still doesn't show up, but I'll also keep acting as though I haven't Oed either until something happens...
Chez, hope your blood test shows what you want it to show
Welcome Powelly I see from your sig that your DS has the same birthday as me - we Geminis are great, aren't we?
Gigi - Hopefully I am Oing twice and I've caught something (or two somethings!) and it's just not showing up yet
Angelic- I hope you theory is spot on hun. Good luck with the school holidays...hope you get some rest in there too. When I think of it, we were both sick when i fell pregnant with DD too. How funny is that.
Chez, thank you hun, woorkign on getting better...but always an eye on you guys too. Tell me about it. I thought the same thing about DD. She would have had a mountain of boys around her to look out for her. I smiled the other night in bed after you said that as i got the picture in my head that she would be in the thick of it with them, into trouble for sure. And she would have always have had a big cousin to call on to help her out if she needed some muscle! I would not have had to worry about her boyfriends either...they would have been all over it i am sure. xoxo thank you for that trip into my imagination. How is the clomid going hun. Hope they watch your symptoms closely and it all pays off. Hope you ovulated and caught the egg...or eggs, which maybe the cae. How would you go with twins or more??/ He heee Love and hope for you. xoxo
Teni, good luck hun and hope it was a bumper crop of eggies and you caught them...BFN might just change before you know it. Good luck abbe.
Powelly, Welcome hun and good luck. I say one day at a time would have to be a good thing. Take it as it comes and i hope you are here for a short time and fall preggas very quickly. Good luck
Dory, Thanks hun...yep, I am a nutter here that is for sure. A good aunty too. Feeling still under the weather but getting there. A bit depressed lately but all good in the hood and trying my best to taek care of me. Hope you are doing well too hun.
Cmegles, How are you travelling hun? Have not heard much from you...can't keep an eye on you when you are MIA. Hope you are feeling ok.
Crumpet, how did the Ob appointment go?
Hope, Charlie B, Samcougar, Lemonade...time to all check in and let us knwo you are doing ok. It took me a while to realise the no updates menat a new thread and I hope this is the case for all MIAs. Sending you all love, peace and wellbeing.
Powelly - I am so sorry to have to "welcome" you, as like Angelic said, it means you have experienced the tragedy of the loss of a much wanted baby. For that I am truly sorry and you have my heartfelt sympathies. But on the other hand I am also pleased to welcome you, as I reckon joining a thread like this is one the best things you can do! I hope your stay is short but rewarding.
Chez - it is really tough being thirsty huh? I am a massive nanna nap today for 4 hours and so didn't get to drink. Now I am a bit thirsty but regretting drinking to catch up, as it means leaving the warmth of my bed and doona and cats to go to the loo. I had a $1 bladder to begin with!
Angelic - how are you doing? Like a lot of things, unless you know someone or it applies to you, it seems like you don't know about something and then its everywhere. Not just medical stuff like PCOS. I hadn't heard of it til I was diagnosed. Also happens to me with music and movies ( twilight) all the time. Guess I can be a bit insular? Speaking of which I finally took the plunge and watched the Twilight movies on DVD. Just waiting for the 3rd one ...... I think I would like to read the books now.
Gigi - I liked Chez's image that DD would be a tom boy, and then your comment that boyf's would never be a problem. That really made me smile.
Teni - I hope you caught an eggie too! But just one sweetie. I do like the idea of keeping up the BD'ing until something else happens.
AFM - I am doing ok. I felt a bit isolated from the world today and my big nanna nap prevented me from coming on to BB this morning. But the sleep really helped me. I had been reading To Full Term by Darci Klien and I think it just really upset me. I usually find it encouraging, but not so much today.
Hiya to all our MIA's. Like Gi said - hopefully you've just wandered off the grid for a while and will be back soon. Know you are thought of and cared about.
Dory - hope you are doing better today. You're nanna nap sounds so luxurious - I wish I could have had one of those today!
Gigi1 - I agree, DD would not have to worry about boyfriends with all of those cousins around - but I am sure they would have been protective, not overbearing. It's nice to think about what would have been, but painful as well thinking of you and hope you're doing ok
Tenibear - sorry about the BFN, but maybe there is still hope if you haven't O'd yet, or you did O twice. I have hear of that happening. Hope you're having some fun while you are waiting.
Angelic - good luck for this cycle hun, I have my fingers crossed for you.
Hi to Powelly, cmgelles, samcougar, crumpet, hope, charlieb, lemonade and everyone else.
AFM, well I haven't O'd this cycle, even with the clomid. My FS doesn't seem too concerned but it does reinforce my theory of a dodgy ovary and therefore not ovulating each month. The worrying thing is that if we had done IVF this cycle then it would have all been a bit waste of time, money and effort. So now I am not sure what to do next. Do we keep on the original plan and do another one or two monitored cycles, maybe with clomid, or move straight to IVF? I haven't got an appointment booked with my FS so I might have to try to do that tomorrow, although she is so busy it might be ages until we can see her again. So I am just waiting for AF to arrive and feeling kind of blah and disheartened about the past few weeks.
Hello Im Linda i havent been on for a while.I was taking a break from clomid.Now im seeing a new doctor.He seems to know what hes doing. Last saturday i had to get a trigger shot and im also taking clomid too.The doctor found 1 big folical the egg!! So i was just wondering if anyone had concived while on clomid and and had a trigger shot.We have been trying to concive since last oct when i had my misscarriage. Its been a long journey.Im in the 2 week waiting period.Crossing my fingers.Baby dust all over for everyone!! bye
Linda - welcome, but it's sad that to be here you've lost a precious little one. Congrats on the follie - as my FS said once, "go home now and ravage your husband". Hope you caught that eggie. I can't help with similar experiences with clomid or trigger shots. Hope you get to keep the crazy lady at bay during your tww and your bfp is coming up.
Suz - you know what? Your post felt so much calmer, I will miss you but understand that you're on a different path right now. Go well my friend.
for your BFN hun. Hope you're doing ok.
so I've got no flipping idea when I Oed, and no idea when I should test. I'm still going to test on my birthday if AF still doesn't show up, but I'll also keep acting as though I haven't Oed either until something happens...
