Hey grumpy, thanks for the welcome! Yes, the pg announcement thing is so hard to take isn't it? For some reason, I find it a little easier on these threads when people fall pregnant than I do in RL, but it still feels hard.
I never in my wildest dreams thought this would ever happen to me. TBH I kind of assumed that once I'd had one DC, I'd be okay. It's a particularly cruel twist of fate to miscarry and then be completely messed up because of it. After a year, I think it's unlikely that my body would just suddenly correct itself! We've been trying for DC2 for 2 years now and I'm beginning to think my DS will never have a sibling remotely close to him in age. Thank God we started trying when he was only 6 months is all I can think, though we're not there yet!
Thanks for the info re tracking. I have an appt on Friday which will be day 10. Even taking Clomid is hard for me because I have about 5 days of spotting before AF kicks in, so I'm constantly hopeful that it might be implantation bleeding, but it never is and cd1 is a bit of a mystery! I have to just try and wait until I know I'm definitely not pregnant. Does anyone know if the day you take it has to be an exact science? Everyone seems to start taking it on different days from what I've read.
Can't imagine the impact of metformin and clomid. The things we put ourselves through eh?
Hi jobo. I'm still not entirely convinced that I'm not ovulating. I just think that if it happens at all, it happens in week 3 of a 4 week cycle, so I obviously have a LP defect and know I have progesterone problems. I tend to get a temp spike around day 22 at the moment. Does Clomid make you ovulate earlier or later? I'm concerned that my scans/ blood tests will always make them think nothing is happening if they do them too early. Sounds like you went through a lot to get your BFP. It is comforting to know I'm not the only one this has happened to and that there can be a positive outcome.
I am taking my clomid at night, as I'm told it's easier to sleep through the side affects, although the night sweats can cause disturbance. Maybe I'll try them at a different time next month, always hoping that there won't be a next month! 
confu3ed So sorry to hear you're in a similar predicament and had such an awful time too. Though I always find it reassuring to know I'm not alone. I've researched hormone imbalances after mc and there seems to be so little info out there about it. I basically bled for 3 months following my mc and nothing weird showed up in any scans so they just left me to it. I was so desperate to stop bleeding so that I could TTC again that I took the pill for a month to try and regain some normality and move on. I don't know if it made things worse or not, but I doubt things could have got much worse in all honesty! I find it astounding that in some places they don't track you and just leave you to it. Surely this puts you at greater risk of multiples or hyperstimulation, though I guess it depends on the dosage you take. In some ways, I quite like the idea of being left to it though. Makes it seems a lot less clinical if people aren't sticking things up your fanjo and telling you when to DTD all the time!
nonu Fingers crossed! I was there about a week ago and fully empathise with the endless POAS battle. Best of luck.
Ooh one other thing. Do any of you bother with OPKs and charting while on Clomid? I have heard that it can cause false readings and be a waste of time but, given that it's my first month, I want to do everything I can to SWI at the right time. Can you use OPKs effectively if you don't suffer from PCOS? So many questions...
