Decided to start a new thread! Hopefully this one will bring some more :bfp: The last thread brought a lot of them!!!

I'm here! Subbing! Hopefully this thread will go down the history as my BFP thread in a couple of months!!

Good luck, girls :hug99: I hope this one is it for you!

I'm here! Subbing! Hopefully this thread will go down the history as my BFP thread in a couple of months!!

Me too!!!

Thanks Deb!!

Praying this is a good one for us all!

Hey Girls, when the GP said she was referring me to the fertility clinic she said it would be 6-8 wks. Now I'm wondering if that's 6-8 wks until I will receive my apointment leter or 6-8 wks until I will actually get seen.
It will be 2 wks on Mon since I went to see her so if I haven't received a letter by then should I call up and ask or is that too pushy??

I don't want to wait 2 months and then chase it up and then they say they haven't even sent the referral letter yet (which happened when I was waiting to get a mole removed)

What D'ya think?

Lottie, I would call and just say you were wondering if that letter had been sent out, as you want to make an appt as soon as you can... i do not think it's pushy at all! :nod:

:yippee: Subbing!!!!!! :yippee:

I really hope that this one turns out lots of BFPs!!!!! Good luck girls!!!!

Lottie, ITA with Lena. :nod:

Thanks Girls, I will give them a call on Monday:ok:

Sending lots of +++ vibes!

:hug99:Tabitha! How are you feeling?

Okay, girls... can someone describe O pain to me... I know, I'm 30, I should know these things by now, but it has been *SO* long since I have had one... I'm CD12 today... I've been EXTREMELY moody the last 2-3 days, feel bloaty, nauseaus in the mornings, headachy... is that kosher with O time?

:hug99:Tabitha! How are you feeling?I'm doing good. Thanks for asking :) I think we are taking a break for awhile but you can keep me on the stats so I know where I am. I put a hold on my FF account as well.

Shanna, the timing would def be around then. If you have a regular cycle it's normally around days 12 to 16.

Tab :hug1:

Shanna: When I have O pain it feels like cramping just more severe. I would say the symptoms you are having are normal. People usually O between CD12-17 depending on your cycle length(and other things as well) Of course, everyone is different.


Tab: Take care of yourself and check in and let us know how you're doing. :hug99:

Crap! I don't feel good. We went to Epcot yesterday and I feel like poop. My throat hurts, my sinus are swollen and my ears hurt a bit. I hope I am not coming down with a sinus infection. :rolleyes: O time is coming this weekend I don't have time to be sick. This past week I have had 2-3 dreams about me having a baby. In one of the dreams I was sitting here at the computer and the baby started crying and I asked David to take care of her 'cause I was to busy playing on line. :whoa: What?? She was only a few days old at that. :rolleyes: Weird dreams I tell ya! :lol:

Well, we DTD lst night, so I'm sure hoping it wasn't O pain :shuffle:

I am sick as a dog. Running fever, sore throat, sinus' stuffed!~! Went to the dr yesterday and have nasty sinus infection. She said that I need to be careful, apparenly this crap is turning into pneumonia(sp). :rolleyes: Just what I need on my O week. :sigh:

Oh no girl! :hug99: Well, take care of yourself and try not to get that damn pneumonia! You've still got time to get well before you O and I've often heard that being sick and having a fever often delays your O, so don't lose hope, okay? :pray:

Feel better Melissa!

Amanda

Thanks Amanda. I feel 98% better. Trying to gear up for O fest! :brow:


On a side note: a girl here at work went through IVF and just found out yesterday that she is pregnant.
:gah: Why not me???????????????????????????????????????

Not that I want to go through IVF but still....It's just so not fair!:sigh:

Glad you're feeling physically better Melissa!

:hug99: Sorry about the TTC frustration! I cannot even begin to imagine what it must be like....

Well let me go ahead and whine a little more. I just got a call back from the interview I went on a few weeks ago.....I didn't get it. :bawl:

Shanna, It's a shame you don't know what your natural cycle is yet as it is easier to work out when you O. Normaly 14 days before AF arrives. How would you feel if you did get Pg?

Melissa,:consoling I am so sorry that things seem to be against you at the moment. Keep your chin up girl and go catch that egg!!

As for me I called the Dr Mon and they hadn't even sent the referral letter yet (2 wks after my appointment!):banghead: I was kind of expecting to hear that as it has happened before and everything is so slow over here!! Anyway if I don't hear in another 2 wks then I have to call them up to chase it again. It just sucks!

Lottie, I would feel fine about it :) I would feel kinda silly for it having happened, but I would welcome another child with open arms. I wish my body would get back to normal. I had an appt with my endo yesterday. I hadn't taken my Synthroid since last Tuesday, since I was feeling very hyper-stimulated, and when I had my blood draw on Monday, my levels were perfect, even missing that much, so he is having me take 3 more weeks off of my meds and re-test in a month. Since I had my IUD out, my whole body has been wacky! :lol:

coming by to sub as well

sorry for taking so long we got back from our holiday yesterday evening man I am due for some rest now :lol:

so finally after millions of phone calls got first b/t results
HCG = 110 Prog = 63 was a little worried about this number

anyway got 2nd results
HCG = 440 :bliss: and prog had shot up to 96 :bliss:

had 3rd draw done today mainly for my peace of mind and scan is booked for 8th May

Sounds good Rach!!

Lottie: sorry you are having to deal with so much crap!

As for me the pity party is over...they never last long. I just pulled myself up by my bootstraps had a good talk with God and all is well! He never closes a door without opening another one. If you stare to long at the closed door you may miss the one He opened for you! So I am off to look for that open door!! ;)

Ohhh better go..dh just got out of the shower!! Time for a little :sex: :giggle: Good night girls!!! :giggle:

Hooray for the great numbers Rachel!

Sorry about the job Melissa. Have fun with dh tonight. Ah...I think I am going to miss DTD. I am taking a break since my cervix is being weird.

Lottie, I am sorry your doctor's office is so slow. I would probably call then again next week.

Shanna, we'd love to have you in the pg group. BTW, you know my sister is pg with her 2nd set of twins... :lol:

I'm sorry Melissa. It just sucks.
Rachel - Great numbers!

Kika: I'm sorry that you can't dtd...that sucks! Especially since R has been away for so long... :hug99:

Rachel: I'm so happy to see the fantastic numbers!!!! :yippee:

Hey! It looks like my phone call worked as guess what has just arrived in the post... my hospital appointment!!:ura1: It is on the 2nd of June at 9am. Why couldn't they have just done that 2 wks ago!! Oh well I am more happy now and feel like we are actually getting somewhere finally.:)

Rachel, :cheer: for the great numbers!!!

Nope. Me neither!!!!! :puke:

Nope not really...every once in a while I get it but not that often.

Hmmmm....:scratch:......just thinkin', that was my very first symptom at about the same exact point with my last three pregnancies. I'm just sayin'.....:crossfing :pray:

~ Melissa

:crossfing: Melissa!!! Sounds very promising!!!!

Oh! :pray:

Thanks Melissa! I am trying not to get excited...but who am I kidding. I have been peeing a lot today, heartburn and nausea. If I am not pg then this is just a really cruel joke! To top it off my VIP subscription runs out in 5 days...I am trying to hold out on renewing...just in case. :crossfing Ohhh I pray this is it!! I think I have been patient enough. May 8th was 4 years ago that I had my d&c and lost my tube. It's about time to get some good news from my end of the world!! Every one is got knocked up!! ;)

Thanks Tab and V!

Tab how are you doing? About ready to come back or are you still T.A.B? :giggle: That's your name and the initials for taking a break. :giggle: Sorry I am easily amused lately.

Melissa, I am :crossfing for you!! Feeling crappy sounds like a very possible sign!! Sorry to say, but it's true!!

Well, we kind of weren't on a break from DTD :heee: but I did take a break from charting/temping, it was just to nerve wracking, and I felt if we done it we done it and that way I'm not obsessing over every little thing by charting everything :lol:

Melissa, I am :crossfing for you!! Feeling crappy sounds like a very possible sign!! Sorry to say, but it's true!!

Melissa, crossing all thumbs and toes for you girl!

So I had my yearly today with my new doctor. He explained to me a likely reason for why I had so many problems with my IUD - and that was just after talking for about 10 minutes. He said that the emergency D&C I had to have just a few hours after the twins were born likely left a lot of scar tissue, which wouldn't show up on an ultrasound. He said that alot of times, doctors are so frantic to stop the bleeding that they "scrape a little too hard" and can leave some serious uterine scarring. He said that in mothers who have the hemorrhaging like I did and the D&C, they are typically poor candidates for IUD use because the scarring ends up much like a labrinth (sp?) and the device never settles properly and can keep the uterus inflamed as a result. Which explains MOST of my problems. On the other hand, he also said that typically, that much scar tissue can lead to infertility.

I'm glad to have a (probable) explanation of my problems, now if I could just re-lose the 10 pounds I have gained in the last year :giggle:

Melissa! :pray: Your temps are still looking good!!!! You've got 5 or 6 more days before you'll test, right? ;) So...no use bugging you, huh? :giggle: I hope this is it!!!!!!!

Shanna: Wow...you got a lot of answers. How do you feel about everything? Good luck on the weight loss!

I'm okay with everything. I guess unintionally-caused infertility can be a blessing? Of course, he would have to do some actually testing, etc., to find out if it has caused infertility in my case, but he said that I may not need to worry about birth control because of it. :dunno: I'd be fine having another child, but John isn't so keen on it. I told him that I have already put my body through hell, I am not doing it anymore. If he wants to guarantee no more kids, it is on his shoulders now, as far as doing anything more than condoms, etc. :dunno:

...I told him that I have already put my body through hell, I am not doing it anymore. If he wants to guarantee no more kids, it is on his shoulders now, as far as doing anything more than condoms, etc. :dunno:

Yeah, I think that's a good idea. :hug99: I'm glad you're okay with everything too...

And, my new doctor is just great. He agrees with me and also wondered why my old doctor even recommended the Mirena in the first place :dunno:

Yeah I probably won't test until the 26th unless I have a undeniable possibility on my chart that I will probably get a bfp. Don't want anymore bfn.

Shanna: What is Mirena? Glad to hear that you are ok with everything!

Melissa - it is the hormonal IUD :nod: I got it at my 6-week checkup after the girls were born :nod:

Ahhh I see! Thanks! ;)

Goodness, Lizziebeth!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome back :wavey: !! So nice to see you again :bliss: !!! I will be starting to TTC again in a month or two!

Hello Lena!! So nice to see you too!!!!! Thanks for the welcome back. We'll be on this journey together again!

Hey Lizzie!! :wavey:

It's great to see you again!!! :hug99: You have to start a journal or something so we can all see little Daisy being her sassy toddler-self. :lol:

I'm still TTC #2 as well.....I'm just not on the list. :shuffle:

Welcome Back Lizzie!!!!!
I hope your journey to having #2 goes quickly and smoothly.

Amanda

Oh my gosh! Welcome Back Lizzie! I can't believe your little one is 2 already! :faint:

Hi Lizzie :wavey: I remember reading through the thread when you were TTC #1 before I joined. How funny to now be speaking to you! Good luck with TTC #2:babydust:

Melissa, no symptoms of AF is always a good sign even if no symptoms of pregnancy. It's not over till AF actually arrives, maybe it's just too soon to get any pregnancy signs yet.:crossfing for you

Welcome back Lizzie!! Good luck TTC #2! There has been a lot of bfp's in here lately so hopefully you won't have to wait to long!

Shannon: I would be happy to add you back to the list..just say the word girl! ;)

As for me, temps are dropping but that's about it. I have this weird crampy twingy feeling but it comes and goes..not sure what that is about. I am pretty sure this is it for me this cycle. I notice that I ovulated really late this cycle so maybe I O'd on the right side (tubless) which means next cycle should be Oing on the left and I may have a better chance and getting knocked up. I need to really focus on losing as much weight as possible before getting pg. I don't want to be a big ole heifer pg. With David I gained 40 pounds and I really don't want to add 40 to my already high number!! Need to get serious about my weight loss!!

I hope all had a great weekend!! See ya around!! :biggrin:

Hey girls - will you throw me back on the list too. We are starting round 2! :) I am CD3.

Gottcha Erica!! Good luck!

Thanks everyone!! It's so nice to be back.

Shannon, great to see you my friend! I would start a journal but I'm so crap at updating it, kwim? Maybe I will stick something up on my old journal with some piccies.

Alysia, hellooo again!!! I know what you mean, where does the time go?

Amanda, what a lovely surprise to come back and read about Zachary in your siggie. Huge CONGRATULATIONS!

Lottie, that's great that you read my ttc tales from way back. So no need to introduce myself - lol! Funnily I read it again myself the other day and it made me very broody indeed!

Hello again Melissa and thanks for sticking me in. I'm now on CD 3 today - would you mind switching my days? I've still got all fingers crossed for you this cycle!!

And welcome back Erica too!

Welcome back Lizzie :bliss: I can not believe Daisy is 2 already? Aww I bet she is a beauty!


Welcome back Erica!

Hey Lizzie!! Welcome back! I saw you were online last night just before I logged off to go to bed and was hoping it meant you were back! I hope you have a short journey ahead of you and this time round the baby stays put for longer than Daisy did. :hug99:

Wow. The TTC list grew overnight! Good luck everyone.

Melissa, can you usually tell which side your are O'ing on?

I usually can Kika! Not all the time but most of the time. Temp went back up this morning but I didn't get a lot of sleep so not really counting on it.:dunno:

Good luck Erica!
It's nice to have an active TTCing group here.

Amanda

Why on earth would eating a banana make me want to :puke:? Oh and did I mention that I am cramping off and on now??? :gah:

Lizziebeth - there is *NO WAY* that Daisy is 2! :faint: Glad you're back around :)

When are you planning on testing Melissa?

I won't test until at least Friday before we head to Orlando.

Melissa, thinking positive thoughts for you!!

Why on earth would eating a banana make me want to :puke:? Oh and did I mention that I am cramping off and on now??? :gah:

Sounds promising to me. I cramped A LOT during my first 2 weeks or so. Remember?
I think you need to test. :nod: The suspense is KILLING ME!!! Lena, I need some help here!!!!!!! :poas:

:lol: It won't work V!!! I am stronger than that.................I think:shuffle:

Good luck to you ladies!!!! :pray:

:lol: You're too funny. And I'm NOT getting any help over here!!! :tapfoot: (Lena)

Seriously, if you don't have a good feeling about it. I understand. Although...I NEVER had a good feeling about my last cycle either. I'm just sayin'... :whistle:

honestly, if I were Melissa, i'd talk about waiting a couple more days, too... i know i asked you this before, Melis, but your longest cycle was like 35-36 days, right? and you are on day 30... so I would wait until maybe you are 13-14 DPO.. (but then again, i think we all know i would be testing by now :whistle: ) so i'm really no help, sorry :lol:

Melissa, I thought your longest cycle was only 31 days? So, if you don't have a good feeling about testing tomorrow morning, then test on Wednesday! :nod:

Oh and remember this conversation? http://www.onceuponalife.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1151073&postcount=937 and this one? http://www.onceuponalife.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1151254&postcount=945

Melissa, looks like you usually have a 13 day LP, so if nothing by Wednesday, I am going to be pestering you to test!! Continued :pray: for you.

~ Melissa

I have no problem testing as of 15DPO. So it's agreed. If I get to 15DPO then I will test that morning...so when is that??????????? :heee:

ok..just looked and I will be 15DPO on Thurs. Can you guys wait until then?? :lol:

Oh and my longest cycle was 37 days...:yawn:

The suspense is killing me too and I've only been back 2 days! There's no way I could hold off til 15dpo. That said, I do understand your reasons. Such great willpower tho!

Um no I CAN"T WAIT UNTIL THURSDAY!

Sorry y'all. I just can't handle seeing another bfn. :sigh: I would rather see af than bfn. I need y'all to be a little patient PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Okay...:shuffle:

Thanks girls!! :) I promise if af hasn't shown by thursday and my temps are up I will poas just for y'all! ;)

should we get a bunch more pregnant women in here to help pester Melissa? :lol: Cause you know, she wouldn't want to go against a bunch of pregnant women, right?

I started temping again on Saturday because I woke up so stinken hot and it was 98.2, Sunday 98 and today it was chilly in here so I'm assuming since we had our ceiling fan on it was even chillier with a temp of 97.9. AF should be here soon but I have been so nauseated but thats normally the norm for me when AF should be arriving :lol: We DTD this morning and I thought for sure AF would come but nope nothing so I'm assuming by tomorrow or Wednesday she should be here. I know I O'd too since I had major, major O pain but wasn't charting so I can't remember when it was but it was around the middle of the month which would be my normal time of O'ing :lol:


Good luck Melissa :crossfing: are you sure you can't test any sooner? :whistle:

ETA: I took my temp 45 minutes earlier this morning so I did a temp correct and it took it to 98.5 which I round mine up to the nearest one which would be 98.10.

:hug99: Melissa, I would do exactly the same thing in your position. I hope that you are proved wrong. My fingers are crossed for you.

I never had a good feeling during my bfp cycle either...I was just so freakin' hot in December that I said "Enough already!" and pulled into Starbucks and took a test.

:whistle:

Melissa, we are going to Orlando next Friday. Can't you go then instead? :gah:

Melis, I will go against my nature and totally support you. I think you should wait 'till Sunday... (well not really but I did say I'll support you), so Sunday it is!

Yay, Glad to see some more cycle buddies:jump: , we were starting to get a bit low.

Roll on Thurs Melissa........:poas: :poas: :poas: :poas:

Thank you Haydee and Deb!! At least I can get some support somewhere in the midst of all these addicts!! :lol: Well testing will more than likely be out this cycle. Temp dropped more this morning and I have a trobbing headache which is normal for AF showing up. She will more than likely be here right on schedule Wednesday. :(

Kika: Girl we have annual passes!! I can always come back up for the day Saturday and say :wavey::heee: You have my number right???

Sorry Melissa. I hope AF is not on her way.

And I do have your number. I will text or PM you. We may be chilling at the pool...Maybe I can cook out and you guys join us? I am sure my kids (and my niece) would love to swim and hang out with David. I am still undecided on taking on Disney in 90+ weather.

:sigh: Okay, Melissa.... I'm still holding out for you! :pray:

Can I be the voice of dissent? :shuffle:

Melissa - after looking at your chart....I won't be pushing for you to POAS. :shuffle:

Sorry...... :hug99:

Thanks Shannon. I truly don't think I will be seeing a bfp this cycle. :sigh:

Melissa, :hug99:

Hugs Melissa. Sorry about the temp drop.

Thanks guys! I figured it would happen. :sigh: I just wish af would hurry up and show so we can get on with it!! :tapfoot:

:hug99: Melissa.

:hug99: Melissa. I think testing every cycle is one then when you haven't been trying for too long, but after 4 years I totally understand how painful it would be to see that BFN, hence why I support the fact that you will never POAS unless all the signs point to it being a BFP! I am sorry your temps are going down, it's so unfair. On the plus side of things though atleast you know you are going into an O from your tube side so get ready for the BD fest :brow:

:hug99: Melissa. Way to go for not throwing in the towel!

Do I know my body or what?? Guess who arrived this morning! That freaking bitch! Ya know just one time I would love to be wrong!! :sigh: Oh well...grab some advil, a beer and let's get this dog and pony show on the road. Luckily it will be lighter by the weekend and won't ruin my Disney fun!!

Sorry about AF Melissa! I had everything crossed for you :hug99:

Thanks! Like I said I knew it was coming which is why I didn't want to test!! :(

Melissa, I'm glad that it will be nearly gone for your Disney weekend. On to the next cycle. Lots of :hug99: and :pray:.

~ Melissa

So... I get a call from my new OB's office yesterday and I have to go back for a repeat pap... :gah:

I hate repeat paps!! It's bad enough that you have to go through them the first freaking time!!! :gah:

No joke!!! :gah: Oh well.... not much I can do, I guess :lol: Necessary evil!

Do I know my body or what?? Guess who arrived this morning! That freaking bitch! Ya know just one time I would love to be wrong!! :sigh: Oh well...grab some advil, a beer and let's get this dog and pony show on the road. Luckily it will be lighter by the weekend and won't ruin my Disney fun!!

CRAP! :hopmad: Grrrr. I think I'm more upset than you are! Dang it!!! :hopmad: Damned ole witch...

How are you feeling, you okay? :hug99:

Shanna, Ugh...so sorry about the repeat pap. :gah:

hey girls - sorry to drop in and add my name to the list and then disappear. :lol: I was at my parents last week and didn't have much time to check in here.

Anyway, I'm excited to be going down this road again. Hopefully, things will go as smoothly as they did when we were TTC Dylan. It only took us two months with him so I'm hoping for something similar. We are traveling to see Eric's parents this weekend right during the time I'll likely be fertile so I'm pretty much already counting this month out. Ah well, what are you going to do?

And now after only 45 minutes Dylan has decided that his nap is over. :silly:

CRAP! :hopmad: Grrrr. I think I'm more upset than you are! Dang it!!! :hopmad: Damned ole witch...

How are you feeling, you okay? :hug99:

Yeah..I'm fine. Like I said. I totally expected it! Just a bit crampy and emotional..but I think the latter is due to my uncle so.....................

I'm sorry. :hug99:

Yeah..I'm fine. Like I said. I totally expected it! Just a bit crampy and emotional..but I think the latter is due to my uncle so.....................

I am sorry Melissa. Maybe you were right about it being the tubeless side.

When you said "uncle" I thought you meant some relative to Aunt Flo. :doh: I am a dense person sometimes.

BTW, I saw this magazine called Conceive during my last visit to the OB. It had some interesting articles. Have you ever checked it out? I think it is only published quarterly...

Ugh, sorry the witch is here Melissa but glad you are feeling not too bad about AF. ETA: sorry also just seen your thread about your uncle, :hug99: (http://www.onceuponalife.com/forums/misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=80#)

What a pain about the repeat PAP, Shanna. I've had that happen a couple of times to me.

How are you doing Tab? No sign of AF yet?

And V, hi, sorry I missed your message last time. Thanks for the good luck wishes!

I'm on CD 6 so seems like forever before things get moving again but in reality, suppose it's only next week. Melissa, would you stick my chart in as I've decided to temp again? Thanks a lot.

I don't know what they will be doing as it is my 1st time at the hospital. I have had a US scan on ovaries already. I am expecting more tests before they give me anything... :sigh: Roll on Thursday ...

Lottie, yeah they're not always great at following up in writing, are they? Could you call up the clinic and check you are definitely booked in? Well good luck with it and let us know how you get on.

Yes, some how Erica was dropped from the list. :scratch: Not sure what the hell happened but I'll get her back on there tomorrow. She is the same CD as you Lizzie!! Good catch! ;)

Erica, aren't you the same CD as me? Just noticed you're not on the list anymore.

Thanks for noticing. :) And yes, I am on the same day as you. I've been out of town pretty much since May 15 so I didn't even notice. Thankfully, we have no travel plans for awhile.

We've been doing out best to make Dylan a sibiling. :giggle: I know it's still a bit early in my cycle but signs are indicating that I'm starting to be fertile. Of course we'll probably continue our lovefest through the weekend because it's just fun.

I forget who said it, but someone said that they have a harder time waiting at the begining of the cycle than they do for testing. I agree! I just want to be fertile so we can give it our best try. After that, it is out of our hands and there is nothing we can do.

I got a positive OPK today so all set for O, I think. Only prob - DH went away last night, back late tonight. Great timing eh?!

I'm not certain when I O, as I don't chart. But my cycles are pretty regular and are usually between 27-29 days. Things have started to get slippery and I haven't been able to sleep. Those are sure signs for me that I'm ovulating.

Lizzie - Just attack DH when he gets home tonight and keep your fingers crossed.

Good luck for tomorrow Lottie and hope it goes well. Keep us posted.

Think I O'd yesterday, had a bit of a temp rise this morning. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Good luck Lizzie and Erica! :crossfing

Good luck girls!

Well I am here...just trying to lay low for now. Getting ready to get busy.:brow: :heee:

So I had the hospital this morning.... It went ok but not the most pleasant experience :blush: She looked at my cervix and said that it looks healthy so the bleeding after BD must be menstrual blood from where I haven’t had proper AF for so long. She took some swabs and some blood tests.

She has given me some tablets which contain progesterone which I need to take for 3 wks and then when I stop taking them it should bring on AF. At this point I need to make an appointment to go back and have the dye injected into my tubes so they can X-ray and see if they are clear.

I have to keep track of any irregular bleeding and if it still continues to happen after BD then will have to stay on the tablets for another 3 months :disbelief which I am really hoping I don’t have to as we cannot ‘Try’ while I am on the tablets.

Dh has also got to give a sample.:blush1: Fingers crossed there’s not a problem with both of us!

We will eventually have another appointment to get all the test results and hopefully my cycle will be a bit more normal by then and they will be able to focus on getting me to O again, probably through Clomid.

So anyway I suppose we are heading in the right direction and I need to be patient :wait: for a few more months and see what the results are.

If I am a bit quiet then you will know what’s going on with me. I think I will just be lurking and Cheerleading:rahrah: for a while until we can start trying again.

BTW good luck Lizzie and Erica. Catch those eggies

I'm glad you finally got your appt, Lottie!!! it's a great step in the right direction. I hope the results are good and you are pg in no time, Clomid or not!

:aok: That all sounds like positive stuff, Lottie! Atleast they are being proactive. My husband had to give a sample too before they put us on clomid, they didn't see the point on giving it to me if he had a problem too. He passed with flying colours and was oh so proud too :rolleyes: :lol: On the plus side of things a lot of woman get pregnant the cycle after having a HSG (the tube dye thing) as it's supposed to flush it clear. I hope that all this leads to you getting clomid and catching an eggie. :hug99:

Lizzie It looks like CD14 may have been your O date. Wait a couple more days and see if your temp goes back up. Was there any difference in the amount of sleep you got last night or the temp of the room? That will always make a difference in your temps.

Thanks Melissa. No there wasn't any difference last night, can't think of anything. I wondered about fallback rise. Well guess will just wait to see what the next temps bring.

just a quick hello, still around been very busy we got Jack christened on the 24th and have been sick ever since all better now though

decided not to temp this month just go with flow seems to be working I ma not stressed :lol:

Ok.. you guys will notice that I am not that chatty in here at the moment. I am going through another phase of my life. I am still TTC but more on the OTL side of things. I am not temping but I do want to keep track of my cycles. I will continue doing the lists for now and will cheer you guys on but the actual temping, checking things and all that..I am done with it for now. I just can't continue at this time. It hurts to much. So for now we will be OTL and I will be focusing on trying to lose weight AGAIN. :rolleyes: Good luck to all of you. :grouphugg

Hang in there, Melissa. :hug99:

Welcome to my club! :woot: You definitely deserve to focus on yourself for a while. If there's one thing I've learned in the past 3 years, it's that I have very little control in this whole baby business. :lol: Our responsibility is just getting the gametes in the right place at the right time....the rest of it is just plain magic. And magic is rare for some people, like us. :hug99:

Thanks Shannon. I never imagined it would take me 4 years to conceive a baby. It's just so depressing. :(

:hug99: Melissa :hug99:

So I'm finding myself getting anxious during this 2ww period. I thought I was going to just go with the flow and whatever happens, happens. HA! I'm sitting here analyzing everything.

I'm was feeling a little crampy last night and this morning so of course I'm thinking implantation. It's probably too early for that but who knows. I had some spotting last weekend which could be a sign of ovulation so it's 7+ days past that. I think I'm going to drive myself crazy until AF shows or I POAS. :giggle: I've already been looking at the calendar to figure out when it would make sense to test. Somebody shoot me now!:rr:

Hugs Melissa. The charting and temping is definitely stressful, it's hard to think about anything else when your mind is focused on taking your temp every day. Glad you're not leaving us though!

Erica, agreed, it's hard not to analyse. Do you normally spot around ovulation (is it a good indicator for you?).

Still no confirmation of O for me but I hope it happened on Day 14.

Melissa:hug99: I am so sorry you feel this way at the moment. You have been so patient and deserve you miracle. Hang in there Girl!:hug99:

Erica, how exceiting :clap: When do you plan to test?? Don't keep us waiting too long:wait: !

Lizzie, :crossfing you caught that egg first time!!

Erica, agreed, it's hard not to analyse. Do you normally spot around ovulation (is it a good indicator for you?).


Since AF returned after Dylan was born, I've spoted more times than I haven't. I never used to spot so this is still pretty new to me.

Not until I am officially late. So probably the 12th or so. I'm not a big tester. I tend to wait until I know that AF should've been here.

I decided to put my account at FF on hold for now. I figured there is no reason to just waste that money. So it will stay on hold until I lose some of this weight and feel ready to actively tackle TTC again! It's amazing at how much peace I have over this decision. Good luck ladies and I'll be lurking behind the curtains...and posting the list! ;)

Wow! I forgot what CD I was on. I didn't realize I'm getting so close to the end of my cycle. :silly: I guess having a house full of company over the weekend will do that to you. :giggle: Only a few more days and I will know if I should test or not.

Oh, I wanted to add, I'm not feeling like AF is on her way but I'm not feeling pregnant either. :lol: So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I have no clue! :giggle:

Good Luck Erica. No symptoms of AF is good, might be too early to get any pg symptoms

I broke down at Target this morning and bought a couple of tests. I'm trying to hold out but we'll see how long I last. :lol:

Good luck Erica.

I caved and I POAS and got a :bfn: . The tests I bought were in a 2 pack and I refuse to use the other one until I'm late. :lol:

Sorry for BFN but it's not over till it's over and maybe it just wasn't strong enough to detect yet.Lizzie I only just noticed your CD, Sorry for AF, Hopefully this time....

Sorry about the BFN, Erica. :hug99: Maybe Lottie is right and it's just too soon.

I am now just waiting for AF and my numbers (beta) to go back down. I have been doing a lot of reading and research and I read that some doctors say that you're most fertile the first cycle after a miscarriage. The evidence that supports this theory says that your progesterone is higher as a result of a recent preganancy, so that in turn makes you more "fertile". I think it only applies to women that has a "low" progesterone issue in the first place. Has anyone ever heard of this?

I think it's interesting because when I talked to Dr. H's nurse on Monday, she wanted my numbers to go down before we start ttc again, but she didn't insist that they return to zero. She just said, "they need to be low". Not that I think this has been the only infertility issue with me. I know I have had low progesterone levels, because my previous ob/gyn put me on clomid a year and a half ago...but with this last pregnancy my (1 week after O) level was 25. But it makes me wonder if I will be more fertile, kwim? I plan on asking Dr. H's nurse when I talk to her again...

I'm not upset over the BFN. I really didn't expect it to be positive. :lol: I'm going to wait until Sunday morning to take the other test. That is of course, as long as AF doesn't show. If it is + I will have an extra Father's Day present for Eric.

Sunday will be CD31. My longest recent cycle has been 29 days. But pre-Dylan I remember having a 33 day cycle so who knows? :dunno: I still don't feel like AF is on the way or pregnant.

V - I hope you find the answers you are looking for. I do know that a good friend of mine had a miscarriage and the following month was pregnant again. So there my be some truth to being more fertile after a miscarriage. :hug99:

Sorry I haven't been around since the end of May alot has been going on with my MIL and SIL :(


OMG V :( I am so sorry!!!!! My heart just breaks for you sweetie :hug99:

Erica :hug99:

I'm 5DPO today.

Hi all, sorry haven't been around. We went away for a week and I only had about 10 mins internet access the whole time. AF showed up while we were gone and as you've spotted, already on CD5.

Good luck with the test on Sunday Erica, fingers crossed.

V, no I haven't heard that about the progesterone but would make sense.

V - I also read that you're supposedly more fertile the first three cycles after m/c. I fell pregnant the third cycle after my m/c..... which was quicker than before where it took me 5 cycles to fall pregnant with the one that ended in m/c.... Let's hope it's true for you!!

No need for me to test on Sunday, AF showed up this morning. She was sneaky this month. Oh well, here's to another month on having lots of fun with Eric trying to make a baby.

Sorry Erica...sounds like you're still in high spirits though. :giggle:

Good news for me:
HCG (beta) numbers from last week: 1476
HCG (beta) numbers from this week: 659

Going down...good. I was a little nervous since I didn't have a D & C. OB/GYN nurse said that since numbers were decreasing significantly, I had nothing to worry about. Dr. H's nurse said that when the numbers were low enough, we could start trying again!

Great attitude Erica :thumbsup:

V, glad you are ready to give it another go. I hope there is some truth in what you heard. I truely believe it will happen for you soon :hug1:

Tab,:crossfing for you

june 15 is cd1 for me

V ::: I am so sorry I didn't realise things didn't work out for you :bighug: can I ask a quick question when you say prgesterone (beta) I am confused beta and prog are 2 different hormones :confused:, but yes after a m/c you are considered more fertile due to lining be all ready etc, adn prog levels being higher which makes for sticky baby lining, if she is waiting for numbers to go to 0 I expect that is your beta HCG levels, prog levels never go to 0 unless you are in menopause and then you can expect levels of <3 HTH!!!! just go for it, we did, although it didn't work but can't hurt. :goodluck:

ok quick question would it be bad of me to take 150mgs clomid rather than the 100mgs I have been prescribed, I have never overstimulated only ever get 1 follicle on clomid so no risk of major multiples, excpet I wont be having cd12 scan as I am going away..........:silly: or not????

Sorry about AF Rachel and Erica.

Rachel, I don't know about the clomid...Did your doctor say that upping the dose to 150mg would be the next step?

V, I am glad your body is returning to normal so you can try again soon. I have also heard that your body is more fertile after a m/c...I have heard of women who became pg again right away.

V ::: I am so sorry I didn't realise things didn't work out for you :bighug: can I ask a quick question when you say prgesterone (beta) I am confused beta and prog are 2 different hormones :confused:, but yes after a m/c you are considered more fertile due to lining be all ready etc, adn prog levels being higher which makes for sticky baby lining, if she is waiting for numbers to go to 0 I expect that is your beta HCG levels, prog levels never go to 0 unless you are in menopause and then you can expect levels of <3 HTH!!!! just go for it, we did, although it didn't work but can't hurt. :goodluck:

Rachel...yes, she said HCG levels. (I made the corrections above) Your question made a good point. I thought they were the same...I obviously have some questions for the nurse today when I talk to her. :nod:

As for the clomid; I say if you can handle the side effects and if you have never overstimulated, go for the 150mgs! I couldn't handle the side effects of the higher dosage when they increased mine from 50mgs to 100mgs... :lol:
