    Oh sweetie, I'm so sorry I wish I could give you a huge hug, and make it all better. I'm sorry this is happening to you. I would also recommend getting a BT to see what is happening exactly and talk to a doc to see if it could be something very simple that can be fixed, IF there is a problem. There might not be which could be more frasturating, but at least you're making a step in the right direction to find out if there is something that can be done.

    Big big hugs and I'm thinking of you sweets.

    Thanks so much. Your support means so much. I have just got home from spending the day in hospital. Had major dizzy spell this morning and thought it may have been ectopic but all ok. HCG level at 3 so miscarriage complete. Weird because I didn't bleed much this time but the ultrasound said all had passed?

    Can I ask some advice? Should i go and see an OB/GYN? I seem to fall pregnant easy, but it doesn't seem to implant. I'm so not educated about possible causes and am not sure I have the energy to start looking. I can get an appt in a fortnight. I've never had endo or PCOS? Just not sure what to do and don't want to continue to have miscarriage after miscarriage.

    Once again, thank you again. I hate being in this place but I know with each day it gets that little bit easier again...

    Go see someone. They may not have the answers but at leat you'll have tried. I feel for your losses. Hopefully they can help you "hang in there" next time. I know my SIL had to take drugs when she was preggas to "hang on" to her bubs so perhaps you need to investigate this.......just my thoughts.

    Oh No hun. I am so so sorry. I am going between a tear and anger for you right now. It is just not fair. I really thought this was it and all was behind you. Looks like the time was not quite perfect for you and bub. Oh god I am sorry Babe. This is horrible news.
    When you are back, have had a rest and ready to chat I will question why htis might have happened...Beata is right...there might be something small you can do-MAybe!
    Rest up sweety and replenish your mojo. You are not done yet! xoxoxoxo

    Yep...see someone. It ight be as easy as a bit of progesterone to start you off. You just never know. Also, consider a traditional chinese medicine side of things...i beleive they could help hold on to bubs too. xoxoxo Good Luck on the hunt for answers.

    Hi Powelly

    So sorry to hear about your loss hun It is just so hard and unfair. I hope you are taking things easy and being kind to yourself.

    I would definitely go and see someone. Not sure where you are but Dr Gavin Sacks in Sydney specialises in auto-immune problems and implantation problems. He does phone consults too if you can't get to Sydney. I know he has been very helpful for lots of ladies on BB to achieve and hold on to their pregnancies. There are so many reasons why you might be miscarrying at the same time and with some more testing they can be eliminated or treated. Don't give up hun. Sometimes it as simple as taking a baby aspirin everyday.

    And Gigi is right about TCM helping. My TCM makes a formula called fetal support that she has had me on for the first trimester in the past and I really think it helped. I plan to do that again this time around after ED.

    I really hope you can find some answers soon and not have to go through this sad and frustrating time again. Send you lots of love.

    Chez, thanks so much for the referral. I just checked him out and he sounds amazing. Gi, I chatted with a friend yest re CM and I'm very interested in this.

    I've booked in to see an OB/GYN in a fortnight. Just want to chat and get an opinion. If I can't get what I want there, I think I'll suss out that Dr you suggested Chez. I'm SOOOO hoping it was just bad luck, but two has scared me in a way I've not felt before.

    At least things have settled physically. Compared to last time, I didn't bleed half as much and it's almost stopped only 3 days on.

    The support in here has been truly amazing and I'm grateful to you guys for your help.

    Powelly - I have been awol, and I am so saddened to return and hear your sad news. I agree with Chez and Gi. One of my friends in another thread actually had the testing done and she had NKC ( natural killer cells) and she had to really push to get the testing done. She took some meds and is now utd - about 19 weeks now from memory. Glad the physical burden have been less this time around, but the emotional burden is much heavier. TMC worked wonders for me too.

    I've left my ticker on, not to upset you, but rather to announce our news. As happy as I am for her safe arrival in the end ( I developed preeclampsia and HELLP synrome and had an emergency caesarean), our little Hannah bear is at times a reminder of all the missed opporunities that we will never have with Amelia, Nicholas, Sophie or our wee little sprite. Then I feel guilty to be so blessed, and to feel sad for lost chances. So, even those I am so so very blessed, the burdens of our losses are never too far away for me. I wonder if that will be less in time? It's not all the time, I do adore Hannah bear in her own right... it's jsut sometimes I am struck by what could have been.

    Anyway, I had better have a rest. Take care.

    So Powelly my dear, go gently on yourself....

    Hello Ladies

    Powelly - I have been following your posts and I am saddened to hear/read your sad news. (hugs)

    Dory - Congratulations, I can totally relate to your post, even though we havent concieved as yet after the loss of Matthew.

    OK I thought I read up on everything about Clomid... This is my second month on it and have been in agonizing backpain. I did just want to let everyone know who is on clomid that this is a side effect, (relating to the relaxing of pelvic muscles).

    I will however march on, whatever I have to do to get the goal I achieve.

    Powelly- that is good hun. You sound empowered despite it all. Hope all the appointments go well and you find some answers hun .xoxox

    Dory- Hey chicka, love the ticker. I am sure the mix of emotions can knock you off your feet sometimes hun. Go with it...we are all learnt and you know so well...not worth questioning it or fighting it- embrace. We all have much more interesting and loving lives for it. It will most likely always be there hun. Part of being a mum i guess and how we embrace those burdens can make all the difference to our lives. I admire you hun and hope you are enjoying your new little girl. I have thought of you often. xoxoxo

    Lady tess, That clomid sounds like it is giving you a bit of a go. Hope you find it will all be worth it hun..I am sure it will be. Good luck and hope this cycle is a good one for you.

    AFM-CD5 and just about to finish up my AF thankfully. I have been able to pick myself up relatively easy this month and ready for the next and last round! I have a good feeling about this month. Went to a hypnotist and he questioned...why are you 'trying'...to which he followed- JUST DO IT! Well ok, we will then, if you are going to be like that. It was quite funny and very true that forever we have been TRYING very hard which still leaves room for failure! o if it is that easy...mind set has changed and we are on our way. This month which incidently was the month we fell preg with DD 2 years ago...looks like it will be the last month as 'just the 3 of us'. Ohh that gives me goose bumps.
    Well actually it might be the last month that we 'try' and mext month' we 'do' it as we have the wedding and trip down south this month and timing might make it difficult. Stay tuned anyhow.
    However, i have thought that if I take this seriously...the 'doing' and not the 'trying' than it may mean leaving this thread which unsettles me a bit. But as i will be pregnant soon, i guess that is ok. This space has been a seriously comforting and supportive place for me over the last year or so and breaking that is a big step for me. But hey...i am falling pregnant so that means moving on from here anyway.

    SO...love and thanks to you all and here I go....IN THE NEXT TWO MONTHS...YOU WILL ALL BE CYBER AUNTIES, AND I WILL BE PREGNANT! Pretty cool really.
    Love love love, laughter and peace.
    HM xoxo
