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.
Hasn't been too much chatter, so I can't really respond to anyone (not that I do often anyway!) but I'll update where I'm at:
I've done about three more HPTs over the past week (like a silly person) and another OPK today. All HPTs were negative, but the OPK had a faint second line. I'm not sure about these things, could that mean ovulation has happened recently or I could be getting a positive OPK in the next few days? Or am I getting my hopes up? My CM has been all over the place - egg white one day, really runny and acidic the next (I have a small cut on my finger and it KILLS when I check if it's acidic!), then dry... My cervix has been partially open (from what I can tell) for a little while now, not going up or down or getting any wider... I just want to be normal!
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.
I have been stalking for a while now but have not been ready to pop my head in til now.
I had my 4th miscarriage (in 13 years) in June. I was meant to be 11.5 weeks but baby had passed away at 9 weeks. Two of my miscarriages were at about 5 weeks and the other one was another missed m/c at 9 weeks (baby had passed at 6 weeks).
I also have had two beautiful babies in between all of these losses so i know (and am so grateful!) that my body CAN do it. I have had some testing to see if i have some other problem but so far everything has come back normal.
We are TTC again. My DH is just about to start working away so it may prove difficult to get the timing right but we will see how we go. I was a bit worried about Asherman's as well Suzie, as after my last D&C they said i had a small fibroid on my uterus and they could also see some "white spots" which they couldn't explain and didn't go into further.. i don't think they were very experienced sonographers so, after doing some reading, i think i should probably get that looked at again.
I am so sorry to read of all of your losses and really hope that in time you all have beautiful, healthy bubbas in your arms. Life is so cruel sometimes but it also can be so rewarding.
Goodluck to you all and i look forward to getting to know you.
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...
thinking of you and hope you're doing ok
I just want to be normal!
