andi you are the same as me we are both in our 3rd cycle since m/c. i am cd17 but no sign of ov yet which cant be good.
already preparing for next months challenge!

we have been bding near enough everyday if not every other day..but i think its been in vain.

was talking to a friend today and she seems to think maybe its a mind thing

desperate2bmum · 17/09/2006 19:56

oh andi i have just been reading your post on another thread...i am so sorry to hear of your losses..
and i hope today has been easier for you as expected its nice to hear dp has been being supportive and you have enjoyed a special day together.
in some ways i know how you feel..i am dreading new years eve as that would have been due date of my baby...i am just praying to god i will be pregnant by then as it will make it easier for us all. and i really hope this is your month so so sorry xx

andi0411 · 17/09/2006 20:20

D2BeM- thanks so much for your kind words- i'm so sorry for your loss too. Both of us on our 3rd cycle and you cd 17 and me cd 19- how close is that?

I do hope you get your bfp by NY Eve and me by Xmas Day- although it won't take away the pain it 'll make the time a happy one again- a new start and a new year.

I've dtd alot this month and started temping/ charting/OPK's etc etc - so I hope it pays off for us- I'm a bit like you though I s'times look at my chart or the ov stick and think- what the hell does that mean? But like Trace and the others have said it's a learning curve and hopefully it'll all get clearer.

Off to do the ironing now but back later if you're around!! I haven't ironed all week and dp has nothing to wear..i do though because I have too many clothes and could go for months!!!
Thanks again.
xx

MrsMcJnr · 18/09/2006 09:53

Hey September ladies how are you all? feeling positive I hope!

Andi - really, really hope you get "picked" this month . For me, the temping etc makes me feel more in control and that is one of the reasons I do it, for sanity!

Desperate - you too. Sorry to hear that you don't think you've OV hope it has not all been in vain. I do agree with your friend, I think the more stress and pressure we put ourselves under to conceive the worse it is for our bodies to do the deed but it is really out of our control isn't it? I am so sorry for your loss and hope that your body and mind recover soon

desperate2bmum · 18/09/2006 10:49

mrsmcjnr - thanks for your kind words. i am feeling fine about it which is odd because i ran out of ov sticks today so not sure if today would have been the day. (i hate not being in control) didnt use anything last month so cant be sure if i ovd then either. i will wait and see what happens in my next cycle and even though i know they wont do much i may take a trip to the docs just for reassurance more than anything.

my friend should be having her baby in a few days she was due yesterday...i have been reading up on episiotomys and tears and oh my life!!!! its not for the faint hearted is it!

i hope you all have a good day i shall be lurking around and this is my last day ofpiece as back to work tomorrow

MrsMcJnr · 18/09/2006 11:00

ugg - why are you reading about those?! I think it is best not to know these things, I used to share a flat with a midwife and I can tell you, I never ever felt broody with her around! Let your CF be your guide if you have run out of OPKs - all the very best of luck to you and enjoy your last day of peace (I am meant to be working but am being VERY naughty )

desperate2bmum · 18/09/2006 11:22

i didnt actually realise you tore hilst having a baby until about a year ago..there was me thinking it popped out quite smoothly (how naive was i?)
but tbh thats the one thing the terrified the living daylights out of me when i was pg before! i just have to know these things

DD1ofcolandgerry · 18/09/2006 13:30

Hello everyone,

well all my excitement is over. I miscarried yesterday. I started getting serious cramps and spoting on Sat, then yesterday I had full on AF. I went to the hospital, and had all the tests/scans and they confirmed it. They said that I had done nothing wrong, and couldnt offer any explanation as to why it happened. I Am completly gutted, but will just have to get on with it. My DH is heartbroken, and I am so worried about him that Im trying to be the strong one.

On the plus side, at least I know that the Clomid worked for me, and that I can actually get pregnant. The doc yesterday said the only thing stopping me from immediatly restarting the clomid would be my mental state, and if I could cope with it, as pysically there would be no reason not to restart it. So today I popped those magic pills, and have jumped on the bandwagon again.

Im going to use the preseed and cough medicine again this month as Im sure it helps DH's little swimmers reach their destination.

Baby dust to all

dd1 xxxx

MrsMcJnr · 18/09/2006 13:35

Oh DD1, that is so very sad, poor you and your DH, sending you huge hugs. You are being so brave, and so positive, I really hope you get another BFP very, very soon. Don't feel you have to be strong on here, if you need us to listen to how you feel, just let us know.

Babymad4num3 · 18/09/2006 13:45

DD1ofcolandgerry so very sorry ((((((((((((big hug)))))))))))))) to you and DH thinking of you!

dd1 so so sorry sending out huge ((((((hugs)))))) and sympathies to you and your husband xxxx

Natty1806 · 18/09/2006 14:20

DD1 you are being very brave and positive like you said you know you can get pregnant and hopefully you will fall again soon. x

DD1ofcolandgerry · 18/09/2006 14:26

MrsMcJnr, Babymad and Desperate, thanks for all those kind thoughts and hugs. I really appreciate them and will pass on to DH (who is currently in bed...so not like him to go to bed mid afternoon...also so not like him not to go to work.) I havent seen him like this before, and am not sure how to deal with it. Hes usually the brave one and supports me. He said he just wanted to sleep and that he was ok, but I know to look at him that hes not ok, and I want to help him but dont know what to do. I decided that I would just leave him, and have thought that later we could go out for dinner, and have a nice night out to cheer ourselves up.

DD1ofcolandgerry · 18/09/2006 14:27

thanks Natty....hows the clomid doing, have you had any of the zillion potential side effects???

dd1

Natty1806 · 18/09/2006 14:50

Had hot flushes during the night when i was taking it and a bit of spotting once AF had finished but apart from that nothing. I just want to know if i is going to work as i don't feel any different IYSWIM.

Meal out sounds like a good idea maybe a few drinks as well.

cutiebabies · 18/09/2006 14:57

hello all
i have been ttc for a couple of months now i just need a little help i am using ov test sticks and temp but no luck yet what do you use cough medicine for and what is preseed? xx

aprilmeadow · 18/09/2006 15:00

Hi there ladies, just popping in to see how you all are. I still have my fingers crossed that you will get BFP's very soon.

DD1 - so sorry to hear of your loss. I am thinking of you.

DD1ofcolandgerry · 18/09/2006 15:02

Natty,

I didnt feel any different either, but my consultant told me to have faith in the drug, and to be positive about taking it, as so many start taking it with peconcieved negative expectations. My friend had concieved on clomid, so I already believed that it would work, so I stayed positive(not always easy I know)and after 2 months it worked. Im hoping that this time round that it willwork again.

Basically, my advice is the same as that of my consultant, and at all times stay postive

dd1

Natty1806 · 18/09/2006 15:11

Thanks DD1, i will try and stay positive i suppose some of it is frame of mind. Can i ask why you were prescribed it?

MrsMcJnr · 18/09/2006 15:29

DD1 - have a lovely dinner together and just really, really look after each other until you feel strong again. Big hugs to you both.

Tili · 18/09/2006 15:47
