TTC Thread 13.................Still send babydust our way please

were is every one today, its v v quiet.

are we still starting a new thread on monday?

Hi there all. Slink - being Rh -ve doesn't mean you are more likely to miscarry per se, it just means you have to be careful and only then if dh/dp is Rh +ve. If the baby is also Rh +ve and your bloodstream gets into contact with the baby's you will produce antibodies which could attack the baby's blood cells. This is why you would need an injection of anti-D after any bleeding after 12 weeks, a m/c before 12 weeks with D&C/ERPC, amnio and after delivery. The injection stops there being potential problems with rhesus incompatbility in the next pregnancy. HTH.

irish lass no that i want to get to personal but did u see AF? also how logn have you been ttc?

Huge CONGRATS to Hester I'm so chuffed for you. Hope everything goes well with your PG.

Went to gynae Mon evening. He did a very quick ultrasound scan with this ancient machine. Said I definitely OV'd (I'm now 11 DPO). He is concerned about my cycle being so long (am on CD67 now ) & as I have a history of irregular cycles (when not on pill) he is checking my hormone levels & is sending me off for proper pelvic US scan which will be this Mon evening coming. Was supposed to have blood test results back by now but couldn't get hold of his secretary on Fri. Going out of my mind imagining all sorts of things that could be wrong with me & will I ever be able to have a child of my own, etc, etc. Am trying not to think the worst but it's hard ya know?

To make matters worse, I have to go away on business for a few days on Wed which is the next time I could have seen him aftre my scan. Because I'm going to be away Wed that means I won't be able to see him until the following Mon Aaargh!! Talk about bad timing! How am I going to survive til then?!

Sorry for the rant, needed to vent!

Ernest, you were asking me about the saliva microscope. I'm not sure if I'm using it right or not to be honest because what I see seems to vary as the day goes on. I lick it in the morning when I get up & leave it to dry. But I'm not sure how long you're supposed to leave it for & it doesn't say in the instructions that came with it, so I tend to look at it in the evening when I come home from work. But I noticed that if I look at it 2 hrs later I may not see any ferning at all but by the evening I'll always see some ferning aswell as dots. So, I'm not sure I'm using it correctly. Anyone out there who uses one of these? How long do you leave it b4 you read yours & have you found a reliable pattern with it? Mine seems to suggest that I'm "transitional" most of the time. Maybe it's because I'm leaving it for so long between licking & reading? Anyone know?

morning ladies any one testing today? (it's MB here)

blimey, this thread moves so fast, can't keep up... hester, huge congrats on your bfp - 5 years - incredible. Who else is pg now?
Good luck with the persona, can't wait to get mine out again. Got another week to go b4 I'm ready to test, but don't think it's likely this cycle. Who else is testing this we? good luck & baby dust to all xxx

thanks munnzieb, it's so hard, cause everything i read gets me so confused. i took the 100 mg tonight, though hubby thinks i took 50, iam just wondering, and if anyone knows please advise. does the higher the doseage of clomid, mean the higher chance of having multiple pregnancies will be? i can't find any info. at all on that. thanks all, and good nite to you who have, or soon will be, hitting the hay!!

right theres two. ones called conception:some clomid questions, the other is called conception:urgent clomid questions please help (or words to that effect) good luck.

no idea about that hon, but i have read a clomid thread on here b4 i'm sure, will try to look it up again for u.

HELP ME LADIES, URGENT QUESTION

ok gals, i need fast help here. i got af 4 days ago and was depressed, but at least i knew i was going to the doc for some action finally!!! and today, about an hour ago, my doctor prescribed me clomid. well, he told me to take 2 pills tonight (which will be my first dose). thing is, 2 pills a day is 100mg (they are 50 each). i have never been on this before, and i ovulate on my own and all, so iam very unsure about what to do, since now iam reading the typical starting doseage is 50mg, not 100mg, i would think especially in my case, but he gave me the bum rush out the door, and iam afraid to take it now. what makes it worse is, the doctor's office is closed now and for the weekend, and i dont know what i should do. am i wrong, or do you normally start out on 50 mg, and then increase, months later if need be? has anyone heard of starting out at 100mg, i dont know if it has anything to do with the fact that iam getting iui this cycle, does that change things? from what iam reading online,it should not, but i dont know what to believe, and i think some of you girls may know better, so iam very confused now, and need advice! can anyone help this scared ttc girl?? i can't imagine the moodiness jumping right in at 100mg, plus i dont know if thats even safe to do, i assume you start out with 50mg, and then build up a dose. i would think he knew what he was doing, but iam so unsure and iam afraid something is going to happen to me---bad!! a quick response with anyone w/ knowledge about the clomid subject would be very, very much appreciated!! baby dust to all!!

lol tania, I'm sure it will be exactly the oposite! have fun tonight.

well on average then it should be the next couple of months hon, but don't worry about it if u can ( i know it's hard but we'll all get there soon enough!)

could it be because the stick expired in 99? (it's unused thou)

thanks rudy, it all works apart form the light s part, i'm pressing the M button in, but no lights can still see the 3 and book will try the stick teh otehr way around nope, right first time around

hI ME AGAIN JUST POSTED TO A MNETTER WHO THINKS SHE MAY BE MISCARRIAGING, WORRIED THOUGH AS I AM RH-VE am i more likely to miscarry becoz of it???? (didn't want to jump her post)

That's me done. The Archers are finished and I can hear my Indian take-out calling my name...

Will no doubt check in on you all later. Fingers crossed for some good news from someone this weekend

Hi i have just had loads of egg white having been to the loo does that mean i am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo fertile or i have 24 hrs??? i know i should know but would like advice been trying a while????

the m at the bottom was supposed to be in italics but it didn't work!

Munnzie - It says...Open monitor and wait for it to switch off (30secs). When it is switched off insert a test stick (used or unused) into the test stick slot, checking the position carefully as there will be no flashing yellow light to tell you that the test stick is correctly inserted.

Press and hold the M button while you complete steps 4,5 & 6 (better number them, then )

4. press the opening catch to turn your monitor on

5. a 3 & book symbol will be displayed. Continue to hold the M button and leave the test stick in position.

6. After approx. 15secs all 3 lights will flash briefly and all symbols on the display screen will be shown. A 3 and book symbol will again be displayed.

The M button can now be released and the test stick removed.

You should see - - /m/ on the display. Your persona monitor is now reprogrammed and ready for use

Munnzie - Five cycles with ds1 (I had just come off the minipill after 12 years) and first month of trying for ds2....

no user guide, just the instruction booklet on pg23 or that it says...... doing a test.... but there is a question... it says what to do if pressed M by mistake.... then tells you how to cancel m is that how to reset it? i imagion it is?

did it take you long with your other 2 mommyd?

Yes rudydudy - I am convinced you have those sorts of dreams PURELY because conceiving and baby-making is on one's mind so much.... nevertheless, I obviously hope it comes true.... SOOOOOOOOOOOON , if not this cycle then next which will be my third month of trying for number 3.....
