part 14 of the thread

stats to follow

15 DPO*

If you are able to get any First response Laylas i would try one of those in the morning with FMU. By 14dpo i had a faint, but clear, ine with those, whereas with my internet cheapies it was a very very faint shadow. Good luck hun.

afternoon ladies, Thanks on all the positive vibes, i haven't had any more bloody cm, am just getting really frustrated with it all now. work made me laugh apparently there's nothing to worry about it i bleed cause it rarely leads to anything. this was apparently the advice he was given.

laylas sorry you're going through all that uncertainty at the moment. some times the hormones can just take a little while to be detected. last time it was a few days after my af had been due that i got a positive.

harassed hope dr's goes well.

angela sorry your dd is misbehaving as well, it's scary to me just how much he's changed over the last few months.

oli sorry you're feeling unwell. i had that last time as well. i saw the hb a few days before it died and i hardly had any blood at all until after the bad news scan.

bump we don't have any walk in ones and you have to be referred by the dr which is what happened last time.

sorry if i've missed anyone.

harassed how did the gp go?

Glad the bloody cm has stopped Cep, sorry you havent had much sympathy at work, how unsupportive!

Fx for tomorrow with fmu, laylas x

We had a lovely afternoon at the park, hope you all have a nice evening x

cep try not to stress as hard as it is! brown is really normally so remain positive hun!!!

goodluck for you today harassed hope all goes well.

Yes please melies move me up and then fingers crossed you can move me on to the BFP next month ;) the onlyyy way iss upppppp lol im in a good mood! sun is shinning :)
xx

More BFNs here :(

FMU this morning - CD36 of a usual 29/30, although that was pre mc - gave me BFN on a cheapie and I even cracked out a CB digi because I am getting so sick of it!

Going to doctor next week - apparently they are better here at listening and taking you seriously (probably because you have to pay a bit...hate to be cynical)

Morning ladies,

I'm back and feeling a bit more positive again - thank you everyone that posted kind words after my last post, it means a lot, and I know a lot of you are going through exactly the same thing. I went to see a new consultant yesterday and he's extended the Clomid to 6 months instead of 3, and also prescribed bromocriptine as my prolactin levels are really high (anyone else any experience of this?). He was really positive about everything which helped enormously.

Now, fish at the ready everyone, how early is too early to test? I did one on Wed afternoon (CD22 - BFN) because I knew I was going to see the consultant. My cycles seem to be back to a regular 28 days....but now I've got indigestion and sore boobs. Worth a try?

Sorry for the long post and the mememe, promise I'll be on more often again now, and hopefully offer some support rather than being on the receiving end from you lovely ladies.

Wellie sorry to hear your body is messing you about, hope your doctor is some use.

Cep hope you are doing ok, I think its only natural that you are going to worry every step of the way but I'm sure that doesn't make it any easier! I do think EPU could be more understanding though. How is your DS sleeping now?

Collie how did your appt go? Hope all is well.

Chloe wow your job sounds exhausting and your glass of fizzy well deserved I say. How are your Clomid symptoms this time around? When do you go to see the new consultant? My new one is much better and actually took some blood to check progesterone levels to make sure its working - good start I thought!

Blackkat how are you doing? Hope you are ok and your dad too x

Just trepidatiously joining in here. Just had my 2nd MC, just been given the all clear (HCG levels dropped, empty uterus) and ready to go again. Feeling a lot more devastated this time around than last time - the test positive was much stronger, things felt better and then it all stopped again and.. well you know.

Am ready to try again asap (have to really as am 43 already) but can't see the consultant gynae until 7th June so won't be able to start Clomid until then (if she agrees). Fingers crossed I won't need to but you never know (I really don't want a multiple pg).

So - I have one DS who was conceived very easily when I was 39, had him when I was 40 - he is now 3.4. Been trying since he was 9mo to have a second but it's not gone well - got pg in late 2009 but MC at 8w on 19th Dec; not even sure when exactly I fell pg this time around, possibly 24th Jan, and MC 30th March. Was due to have dating scan this week but it turned into ?complete MC scan instead :(.

Bonuses = I can have a glass of fizz again; no need for D&C; am still ovulating (although no idea how regularly).

morning ladies.

thumbwitch welcome, i'm so sorry for your losses.

lily some good nights some bad, he slept through last night. (without a nappy dh forgot to put one on, thankfully he managed a dry night)

Brooke did I get your CD right?

Wellie :( about the bfns, good luck with the doctor x

Lily if you've got some cheapies, go on, test! (I would! ), good luck! I'm glad that your consultant is monitoring you properly.

Hello to thumbwitch, sorry for your losses, everyone here is very supportive. Do you want to go onto the list?

How is your dad blackkat?

I'm very jealous of your dry night with ds cep, dd still wakes with a soaking nappy, we have been trying this week to train her to use a potty at night, unsuccessfully! She's been dry in the day since 20 months but still wears a pull up at night, apparently it means that she doesn't have the right hormone yet to wake up when she needs to go.

The weather is lovely here, going to be 18 degrees apparently! we're going to have a picnic in the garden at dd's request. i hope its as nice for the rest of you.

Morning Girls!
The sun is shining, and its going to be a good day!
mellies i did a test and got a bfn last week, so i know all the hormones are gone from the mc. feeling sick again this morning, and the light bleeding seems to have stopped. Don't want to test just yet, too scared i'll be disappointed if its neg. Then again, not sure how i'll feel if its pos. only started trying so soon after mc cos i didn't think i'd get pg first time round again!....Just in case, does anyone know if there is any risk getting pg so soon after, or if they only tell you to wait for dating purposes???
thumbwitchWelcome. So sorry for your losses. Really hope all goes well for you this time round. x
laylas did you test again today? any news? hope all is well! x
Hi to everyone else! xxx

Morning all!
Sorry to see so many new faces here, but glad you've found this lovely buch of ladies, and I'm sure you're being well looked after!
Just popped in to wish you all continuing good luck, and to let you know that I don't mind being moved to the Grads list now... think it's about time I started feeling a bit braver!

Hi Ladies, lurking this week whilst on holiday, sorry for the losses thumbw, have you made a decision re this month bump fingers crossed angela hope a bfp awaits.

I haven't waited for AF following mc 3 weeks ago as feel ready to try again and it seems the only risk is dating. I am using a CBFM which says I Ov'd on tues weds so lots of SWI and sticking the legs in the air - easier since we're on hols! So am on the 2ww but trying not to obsess and start calculating due dates already.....

Fx for all, will lurk for remainder of hols and catch up next week x

Morning ladies!

Hi Thumb so sorry to hear about your losses. You are in the right place though. Everyone on here is so nice and hugely supportive

Loup hope you are having a nice hols! Nope not decided what to do yet. Still have AF at the mo. DH had a bit of "action" last night and it did cross my mind that if we do do it the sperm will be fresh!!!

Suspect I won't say anything next week and see what happens. If he doesn't reach for the condom then I'm just going to do it!! I do feel ridiculously excited that I am due to ovulate this time next week - such a loser!!

Cep so glad you had a good night's sleep. Are you feeling a bit more positive today?

Wellie I hope the doctors goes well. Sending you a hug

Laylas any testing this morning?

Hi to everyone else I have missed off! xx

Thank you lovely ladies - yes, I would like to be added to your list, I guess under TTC as that will be what we start doing again asap. :)

Hello, hoping all well with you all

cep hope you are ok? See you got agood nights sleep.

lily pleased that the consultant gave you positive news, every time I saw mine he made me feel like getting pg was possible, and he said he would let me take Clomid for up to 12 months. Not experienced the prolactin thing but sure someone else will have good advice. Sorry.

welcome to thumb so sorry to hear of your losses this really, really is a helpful place to be and these ladies are a real source of strength. Good luck!

chloe how are you?

olis hope you're feeling better?

Mel hope you're enjoying your time off and the sunshine all ok with me thanks, Dad has surgery next week so trying not to stress too much about it.

laylas hope all is ok and you've had good news xx

Bad dream here last night, so had to POAnotherS this morning bcs I was convinced I'd made it all up, but all seems ok, if you can judge by piss-sticks only, off to mental loll about in the freak out room.

Hope you all have lovely weekends xx

afternoon all. hope you are all ok.

mel i would be too jealous, i'm not brave enough to try again yet, it was only cause dh forgot to put him in one.

blackkat sorry about the dream, they are horrible.

bump hide the box of condoms.

ladies i'm not too bad, apart from being bloody furious with work. went to have my break in the break area, and got congratulated on my pg from someone in a different section, as my pg has not been announced yet, it means someone from management told her. i've told 3 people outside of management none of them (1 only this morning and hasn't had time to tell yet) would say anything, and 2 of 3 don't know this other lady, so it had to have been one of the bosses. But as there are a few of them at lest 7, i don't know who it was, the lady couldn't remember. the managment team are all saying oh well you could have been overheard, but the 3 i told were all in private with noone else there, so don't know how. sorry yet another whinge from me.

Cep that is awful! It's like that where I work, nothing stays secret for long!

loupe and Angela I was told by the epu nurse that we could try straight away so go for it!

Any news laylas or harassed?

Well, I'm day 17 and although I've had no signs of ov apart from cramps on and off I guess I'm in the 2ww, let the mental symptom spotting begin!!! At least I've got the sun to distract me...promised dd a trip to the beach tomorrow and meeting a friend I haven't seen for about 10 years on Sunday.

And I should add that ATM I am being lazy chilling out on rug watching dh put the trampoline together!

Cep that's awful!! I really think you should reiterate that it was told in the strictest privacy.

Mel enjoy your sunny day !

Bump I've just ov'd, and was ecstatic that everything was working as it should. I've become much more aware of my cycle since ttc.

Layla hope you're ok.

Blackkat ooh nasty, I think it's your homones though lovely!! I've had my worst nightmares whilst prg.

Thumb welcome, sorry you have to be here with us.

Doctors was ok, but not great last night. Blood tests all fine which is good obviously, but doesn't give me a reason! My gp is lovely and I've been with her for 20ish years and she was just so nice about it all, but she can't send me for any tests yet. She said it's good that I can obviously get prg, but that chance of mc increases with age etc etc. I'm 40.....ancient!! Anyway, she says try again, and go back in as soon as I get a bfp and she'll book me in straight away for a scan as I seem to mc early on. First one the baby stopped growing at 7 weeks, and second one was at 5+1. So I suppose that's something...

So, talk to me about supplements to encourage stickiness??? Any ideas?? I'm already trying to cut out processed foods, have cut out aspartame completely apart from odd glass of diet coke, minimal alcohol....... please don't let it be the chocolate!!!!

Cep I can totally understand why you are so annoyed. Is there someone who could look at their emails (e.g. if management had to email HR to tell them or something like that)?

Melies I hope you get some symptoms soon and a BFP at the end of it!

Harassed glad the doctor was good. I know nothing about supplements and all that but hopefully the others can advise us both. Pleased to hear you ov'd!

Blackat glad you had a nice result after your bad dream.

If I do go down the TTC route this month have decided I want to give it a really good shot (at least for this month anyway) and use OP tests. I think I'm going to follow that SMEP plan! Which OP tests shall I use? I don't think I am going to get on with the line ones as I will get confused whether it is lighter or darker and I don't want to buy a load on ebay as that will mean I do it every month.

Am thinking about clear blue with a smiley face but then I read somewhere someone said Tescos own were good. Any recommendations??

So excited for a sunny weekend!

bump I find tescos the best of the cheapies but they are line ones and I didn't get a positive this month (not sure if that's me or the sticks!) but I've just discovered that the clearblue digi ones are £11 on amazon compared to £30 odd in sainsburys so i'm buying those next month! And if this lack of pg carries on I may even invest in a cbfm!

Not sure of any supplements to prevent mc harrassed but brazil nuts help with implantation.

Are chocolate covered brazil nuts counter-productive because of the chocolate? I love them!

What's this about grapefruit juice? Did I read Cep say she's been drinking that?

xx

ps thanks Melies am so tempted to order now but then that really means I am going to try!

Hi everyone

It is such a lovely sunny day. Feeling really cheery today (bit of my grumpy posts the last couple of times!)- even done some gardening!

harrassed sounds like you have a good gp. Fx it helps.

thumb hi, sorry for you have to be here but everyone is lovely. Good luck with the trying

loup I'm using CBFM too. I like it but trying not to get obsessed with it as it's not working as quickly second time round!

Trying to encourage my DP to cut down on the beer and majorly strong coffees at the mo as read somewhere it might help. He's not that chuffed about it- especially as he just got a new espresso machine! He is trying though bless him- got the decaf out this morning

Enjoy the sunshine xx
