I seem to remember there was a year thread when I first joined for 2013 but that didn't go my way. I can't see a 2014 one but I am determined to get my BFP in 2014 and hoping positive mental attitude will help.

Thought if see if anyone wants to join with 2014 goal to get upduffed rather than a monthly bus - some of us just need a longer term strategy!

cotton - i think cb diggies are notoriously bad at detecting the weeks. It depends on so many factors - like time of day, concentration of pee and other stuff that the indicator bit is unreliable. I think the only way you can be sure you are ok is to go to the docs, get them to do a blood test and then repeat it to check your levels. FX you are ok. Please keep us posted. Thinking of you Thanks

I guess I want someone to say yes this happened to me and it was all fine.

cottonwool4brains · 15/02/2014 18:25

Well I think I am driving myself mad. On Wednesday I convinced myself I was going to bleed (horrible abdomen pain) so I did a cb digital which said 3+, all good as wad 4 +4. Supposed to be 5 weeks today... Stupidly used the other test..... And now it's saying 2-3..... I don't think I could be more anxious... My DH is cross withme for doing another test. Are these thing inaccurate? Or is this another chemical?

Hey Ladies! I am back again. I had clomid from CD 4 in my last cycle for 5 days. Then I had my Fluroscopy... all good, no issues :-)
This was the first time ever, that I couldn't figure out my ovulation days. No Ovulation because of the Clomid, else I never had any such problem.
I had my serum progesterone test on CD 21 and level was 11.9, quite low.
The doctor has now advised to have the Laproscopy in next cycle, I am really afraid and reluctant. I'm clueless what to do.
I'm sipping on the green tea and apple cider vinegar as usual, and will start some orange juice too.

Thanks jenny and m33r really appreciate your replies. Am going to call doctor on monday as nice doctor I spoke to there last week only works monday and Tuesday and some of the others there are a bit patchy and don't want to get fobbed off. Am going to try and rest and recover a bit at the weekend and hopefully will feel a bit stronger next week.

m33r · 06/02/2014 19:17

Oh dog, I am so sorry. Thinking of you.

Nothing here 13dpo; usually 16 day lp so still 3 days til I'm out. Didn't test today but I'm pretty sure AF is coming. Just trying to stay postive which is not easy as you know. Do you have support in RL?

So sorry again. Thinking of you x

JennyOfOldstones · 06/02/2014 14:58

So sorry DandB, sending hugs. Have you been to the docs? I don't know much about it but they can give you progesterone to help with mc I think? I hope it is over soon and you can get on to the next one which will hopefully be sticky. Take care x

DogandBeth · 06/02/2014 09:25

Hi all as I feared, mc started today. That makes 3 in 11 months.I'm pretty tough but even for me this is getting a bit too much to take.
Just hope it will be over quickly and not too painful.
M33r any news for you as yet?
Cotton am keeping it crossed for you too.

m33r · 06/02/2014 08:33

dog it is a roller coaster and I suppose I just didnmt expect it to be which makes it worse. Try to think positive. Have you been to docs? I think that the amount of dye in the tests can keep the line feint even if the hormone is increasing... Can you get a digi and see what it says?

cotton I have everything crossed for you!!! I bet it was a long ten months!

cottonwool4brains · 05/02/2014 22:58

M33r, about 10 months, still don't quite believe that things will be ok but I guess only time will tell. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

DogandBeth · 05/02/2014 11:01

Hi m33r so sorry to hear you're feeling low. Maybe you've just tested too early? It's a horrible roller coaster of emotions when you're ttc isn't it?
I did a test this morn but was such a faint line and I'm getting period type cramps so I'm sure it's just a matter of time before the mc begins.

m33r · 04/02/2014 17:25

dog I agree that maybe you're wee isn't concentrated enough. Give it another go in the morning. Let us know how you go; will be thinking of you.

cotton I'm really pleased for you. Hoping and praying it all goes well. How long have you been ttc again?

I'm on 12dpo; ttc 1; cycle 14 and just got a bfn. Just devastated. I know I'm not out yet but I am just gutted. And sad. And a bit lost. Don't want to talk to anyone (have DH who understands and friend in RL who understands) but donmt want to do anything else. Just numb.

DogandBeth · 04/02/2014 17:12

thanks jenny. Maybe I'll try another test in the morning, if I make it that far. :(
Good luck cotton- sounds promising. Hopefully this will be your time.

cottonwool4brains · 04/02/2014 16:05

I have been staring at an imaginary line on an ic all day. Done a frer and.... There is another line! I am shitting it now. The last 2 times this has happened it ended in a chemical.

JennyOfOldstones · 04/02/2014 15:46

Oh no Beth, I hope its not what you think it is. Maybe try another test? It is so early still, maybe you just had a lot of water and it diluted the hormones? Hoping for good news, what a horrible worrying time for you x

DogandBeth · 04/02/2014 14:44

Just did another test today and got the result of 'not pregnant' so I guess it's just a matter of waiting for the mc to start now. Teach me to think that something might go right for once! :(

gwenabee85 · 04/02/2014 13:28

Yay, congratulations! :)

DogandBeth · 03/02/2014 16:51

Things have taken a positive turn, did a clearblue test today and it said 'pregnant 1-2 weeks' which is just about possible as it's only just 2 weeks now since I ovulatied. Also had a funny turn at a friends house and was then sick in the car on the way home. Don't want to get too carried away but hoping it's a good sign. Ended up confessing to friend about it and about mcs last year so at least someone go rl knows now. Sorry for the long and multiple posts and thanks for all the nice replies I've had x

DogandBeth · 02/02/2014 21:25

Thanks Gwen x

gwenabee85 · 02/02/2014 21:15

Exciting! Good luck beth!

DogandBeth · 02/02/2014 21:01

thanks jenny. I appreciate it. Nobody in rl knows we've been trying so I don't have anyone I can talk to, so it means a lot to post here . Think I will wait till tomorrow to test now as have left the tests in the room ds is currently asleep in and don't want to risk waking him up! I'm keeping it all crossed x

JennyOfOldstones · 02/02/2014 20:40

Awww I hope this is it for you DandB keep us posted. Lots of luck. Try not to second guess yourself I know it must be hard.

DogandBeth · 02/02/2014 19:17

Hi jenny yes I did re test this morning with fmu and the line was a little bit stronger but still very very faint. Will test again tomorrow morning first thing I guess although am tempted to test again this Eve. Still doesn't feel right though so reallm really trying not to get my hopes up!

JennyOfOldstones · 02/02/2014 17:01

DogandBeth did you retest? Good luck!

DogandBeth · 01/02/2014 20:10

Hi Gwen good news about the tubes. Know what you mean about the frustration of waiting for results, ds has had some pretty major tests recently and I know at least one set of results has come back to the paediatrician, but we've still got the best part of four weeks to wait before his next appointment.

I did 2 tests today, both had a very very faint suggestion of a line.
But, the lines were so faint, you could only see them with a lot of light. I don't feel pregnant ( which i did from early on with both successful pregnancies )and instead I feel like I did in march of last year, when I only made it to six weeks.
So I'm 99% certain that it's just a matter of time before I mc again.
Will try testing tomorrow morning with fmu so fingers crossed the line might have got a bit stronger by then.
