TTC after Recurrent Miscarriage/Stillbirth or Loss after the 1st trimester SEPT/OCT07

[~StarBright~]

Hello everyone!!

Feeling crampy and yucky today. In body only, my head is doing quite well!! No crazy lady stick for me today!! Its weird, yet good that i am focusing on trying hard this month- so i am just counting the days till AF goes away so i can get right into trying!! It was funny, i sort of wanted AF to come so i could try out my opk's!!! Of course i would have been ok with wasting my money on them too- but its nice to be excited about trying new things this month!!
i think it will help me put my mind into a postive out look, which i can carry through. Fingers Crossed!!!

Thankyou everyone for your messages to Ben- i will pass them on!

AUNTIE M>>> I dont really rememebr too much about america- i have a few scattered memories which suprise my parents sometimes!! Like the drive through bank- i rememeber that when we went shopping my mum would drive into this brick building and they gave her money!!! At the time i didn't realise it was her money- i thought they just gave it away!!! We dont have drive through banks here in aus- that i know of anyway!!!
How are you feeling? It sounds like you have found yourself a really nice dr- i am so glad for you! Its so important for us to have a dr we are comfortable with and who will give you the attention that you so need!! That is a great step!! When is your first scan?

SMILEY>> Hello, how is Nathaniel going?? I think its great you are jumping right in for another!!! I rememeber you were thinking about it while you were still preg with nathaniel!! Good luck!! I never knew the story about what happened with the d&C- Goes to show they can get it soooo wrong sometimes!! I bet you thank your lucky stars that you waited!!!!!!!!!

SHEERJOY>>>> So you are a few days ahead of me!! I am on day 2 today. I printed a copy of sperm meets egg too- so we will be trying the same thing!! Let me know how you go. DH says he doesn't want to know what is going on (says it takes the romance out of it and puts a bit too much pressure on him. poor baby.) But he says for me to do what ever i need to do to prepare and just jump him when ever the time is right!!! I tried to tell him how often that will be (so he was prepared!!!) but he still doesn't want to know!!! He's gonna be in for a shock come day 10ish!!!!!!
I did explain to him that i will be doing tests in the middle of the month that look like pregnancy tests- and there might be two lines on them- but it doesn't mean i am pregnant- just in case he see's them in the bin and wonders why i am keeping the good news secret!! Pink ones for ovulating and purple ones for being preg!!! I bet he still gets confused!!

LYNN>>>>HI there!! How are you going? How is Hope? i hope this is my month too!! I wasn't really putting much effort in this last month- sort of having a break so i am all revved up to try hard this month!! Please say hi to all the big bellies for me in the preg thread!!

FLOWERCHILD>>> Thanks for popping in and giving us some advice!! I think a few of us are quite motivated this month!! Lets hope we get some 's out of it all!!!

JO>>> Hello!! How are you feeling today? I haven't had a chance to look at your pics yet, I will do it soon. Cant wait to see what yuo look like!! I am going to scan some photos in this week!!

Hello to anyone i have missed!! I have to do some work now- i will be back later!!

Lotsa love Kattixoxox

Katy, we are gonna be belly buddies this month ok You are one crazy women wanting to try your OPK's, hehe. Where did you get them from?



Has anyone ever tried Vitex Agnus Castus? It is a traditional herbal remedy used to relieve pre-menstrual symptons such as breast pain, breast tenderness and fluid retention. It can also assist in regulating the menstrual cycle. It is a Chaste Tree extract equivalent to 660mg of dry fruit.

I used this for Lachlan and first month on it we conceived and the same with the twins just recently, thought I would give it a burl again, and yep sure enuf preggas! Now you can't say that is a coincidence..... Well I just started again last night, as I forgot to start at the start of my cycle, so here's hoping this is our month. I really think it got things happening in there. You can't take it when pregnant, so basically as soon as you ovulate you must stop taking it.

Doesn't EPO increase cervical mucous too? Gosh I knew all this stuff when trying for Lachlan, but of recent times I am a little too slack about it all.
