Hi all, can I join in too? I am TTC #2 naturally (DS1 was conceived via IVF last year). Af has only been back for a few months plus I am still BFing (although going to wean DS in about a months time I think) so it will be a miracle if we do get PG naturally but I can but hope! I've added my details to the bottom of the list

Good luck all! I have noticed some EWCM today so tonight's the night

Wishing · 03/11/2008 21:24

thankyou for the king though liaghen! glad you have been able to pass them on! good luck LJ!!

hey sleeves glad to see you on here! good look with bding! im still waiting for af to disappear - dh is raring to go!!

well today has been much better for me, but i need a new gp!! he has been rubbish so unhelpful and unsympathetic!! the blood tests showed not very much according to the gp, he didnt feel the need to see me, tyroid etc everything fine shouldnt be having any problems! i did have low levels of hcg in my blood but not viable to conf a pregnancy, i conf to doc that i had started heavy bleeding and he said well there you go then!! no are you ok how or anything?? i mean i dont know what i was expecting from dr but a bit more than there you go then!!

does this mean another mc?? i have passed quite a few clots one or 2 which have been large and it has been a horribly painful one! i just dont know! i tried to quiz dr and he just advised again that hcg levels were very low and when considering i would have been around 5 weeks when bloods were taken it wouldnt be a viable pregnancy. so i guess i have no option other than to draw a line under this now, i no i ovulated at the right time as i was testing myself and i think we gonna do that again this month, but once ov has occured im seriously going to have to chill out!! i cant wind myself up so much again this month its just not physically fair to me or dh.

so will be psoting while passing time up to ov but think i will have to ease off then to try and ensure i dont start obsessing and symptom spotting!! i will still be hear ladies and reading your posts! and sending the baby dust!

love to all
xxxxxx

liahgen · 03/11/2008 23:04

oh wishing, what a horrible time for you. I really really hope this is your month, even if it isn't mine. x

Issy42 · 03/11/2008 23:28

Hi wishing, sleeves and others from July thread. Sorry circumstances meant you had to come over here but glad to have your company for another month. Def think you should see a different GP wishing.

Have re-pasted the list as the hospital tells me I'm on day 9 as 1st day was stop and start so doesn't count. Might be back on for July though as Clomid seems to have really kicked things off this cycle - have four follicles over 1cm and one is already 2.3 so am having IUI on Wednesday.

Hi to all
Sorry wishing to hear that, I do really know what you are going through, it's horrible, but just take it easy and have a big hope for this month beacause through my researches I've heared that there is a high chance to concive well after some sore of early m/c like yours, so hopefully you'll concive next month. I am On CD6 now and waiting another couple of days to start OV test, so good luck to every one.

mickeylou · 04/11/2008 11:29

Hi everyone, i am still potentially in for a july baby as if it happens this month edd will be 30 july. but ds was 11 days late after about 3 sweeps.so i wouldnt be suprised to have an august baby even if all goes well this cycle. and if it doesnt - next edd would be 27th august - which is my birthday too!!

re the whole august/september thing,i started school a few days after my fourth birthday. think my mum would have liked me at home for another year as she was a stay at home mum and i am the youngest of 3 but to be honest being the youngest in the year never really bothered me. i passed everything i needed to pass up to post grad stage and never been to school on my birthday which was nice!

my mum did have to get me an age 2 school skirt when i started though!

VeryKeenForABean · 04/11/2008 12:17

Wishing, so sorry to hear your news - take good care of yourself, (and find another gp!) x

Issy, thanks for adding me to the list! Have no idea when am going to ov, so just trying the old fashioned way

Good luck all xx

bluesatinsash · 04/11/2008 14:03

ILickYourSlimySleeves · 04/11/2008 21:08

Hi all! Sorry to read what you are going through Wishing, what an unsympathetic GP you saw! Definately change I reckon. It does sound like an early m/c if there was some HCG in your system? I hope you are doing OK, it sounds like a nightmare for you.

Issy good luck for your IUI on Wednesday! Fingers crossed everything will go well and you are on your way to your BFP!

We BD'd last night and have decided to do it every night this month (how ambitious! ...and knackering!) so we will see what happens, fingers toes and eyes crossed, but not legs!

Issy42 · 04/11/2008 21:57

Thanks Sleeves. I really hope it works this time. It's a lot less exhausting than bd'ing every night for a month, but not so much fun . Good luck with that, hope it works for you.

Welcome to all the new people on the thread. Here's hoping for BFPs for us all in the coming weeks.

makka · 05/11/2008 07:40

Morning ladies- well cd 16 today so not much to be done soon bar the waiting game and symptom obsessing etc etc.I really have a positive feeling this month, don't ask me why but lik Wishing I had a horrible period last month- if it was a period. Extremely clotty but differently si iykwim???? I conceived my son after a 'proper' miscarriage so if last month was a smaller/ earler m/c then maybe this month is the month???
Yesterday was my 36th birthday and i would desperately love to complete my family before my 37th.....good luck to all!!

makka · 05/11/2008 07:43

'Scuse the typos ladies that should be like not lik and so not si. Is this a sign of pg...no just a tired lady.Hmmm.

beckyjamie1 · 05/11/2008 14:38

I've got the worse period pains ever even after being on for three days and I was convinced I was pregnant, I bd'ed a lot at the right time, I had a bit of spotting about a week later, my boobs hurt and got bigger. I've looked at one of those ovulation calculators and becuse my cycel can be between 27 and 34 days DH and I will be bd'ing between 13th and 24th of this month, lots of early nights and mars bars for energy. Bring on the BFP's for everyone.

If i haven't got it right, feel free to play with it.

LJ29 · 05/11/2008 20:41

Well CD 9 today and as I am completely unsure when I ov due to irregular cycles thought i woould make a start on the Bding!! Dh works nights for 7 and then has 7 days off, he's on his week of nights at the moment so got home put kids to bed and promptly dragged him to the bedroom for a quickie before he went to work!!!!

Planning on BDing every other day until about CD25 and hoping this will do the trick. I have also ben taking EPO since CD1 and can't believe the difference already. I definitely haven't had EWCM yet but there is CM in abundance where I don't normally have much at all (sorry if TMI!.

HomeintheSun · 05/11/2008 20:51

LJ29 what has EPO done??

LJ29 · 05/11/2008 20:56

EPO helps to increase the quantity and quality of your cervical mucus which ou need for sperm to be able to survive and travel to your egg.

liahgen · 05/11/2008 21:36

ooh, i'm getting some of that.
