Assisted conception after recurrent miscarriage

[duggs1976]

Hey super ovulators and those struggling with infertility after miscarriage this is where we are! Come on over ...

Belly so sorry to hear your news, a holiday sounds like a good idea.

Ari so sorry it wasn't good news at the scan and other than that we are here for hand holding. Xx

Mel great news about your daughter, she must be very excited!

Brown whispered congrats and totally understand the mentaling over pg tests. Everything crossed for a darker line soon.

Ari just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about the scan. I had been hoping that everything would turn out OK. A big hug to you. Here for a bit of hand holding

Thanks ladies.

oh ari I was hoping this would be your miracle baby, I truly am so sorry

belly I am sorry it did not work out for you this time

mel well done to your daughter

brown whispering congrats :)

Those of you who saw dr gorgy ... If you go on a Saturday can you get bloods done for dqa alpha? Or does it have to be mon, tues we'd? Do they go to Chicago?

Ari so sorry to hear about your scan. Had been holding out so much hope for you and a little miracle.

Thanks for all your kind messages. Duggs it was our first attempt at ivf. Not quite in the right place yet to decide what we will do next.

ari really hoped all would be ok but I think you knew all along it wouldn't go anywhere. It just feels like so much wasted time when a pregnancy doesn't work out, all that hoping and waiting to have your dreams dashed again. I just wish it would be different for all of us.

belly I had an inkling it was a bfn as you had gone quiet. Have you spoken with ZW yet to see what they suggest? I guess again if money was no object you could keep going for ivf seeing as you responded ok to the stimms.

brown its up to you now to have some success on here! Maybe the dhea you were taking has helped your bfp? My ones from the US arrived today so I started them this evening.

Belly I'm so sorry to hear your news too :(

Ari I'm so sorry. Big hugs to you. Look after yourself and talk things through with Oh when you feel ready to look at the next steps. But take some time now, you've been through a hell of a lot in the last couple of months xx

Belly so sorry to hear your news too. My last mc would've been due about the same time as the royal baby too. I'd forgotten about it until all the "when's it actually due" stuff started in the press. Always nice to have a very public event to trigger unpleasant memories eh?

Waves to all. I'm heading back to bed to catch up on some sleep having got up for breakfast and Pred... :)

Ari. Just want to echo the other condolences on here. You have been through so, so much. You know it was probably a strong embryo so you've learnt that it is really is probably down to the close DNA match with your man?? It does seem you got so far this time. Take the time to consider your next move. Just repairing and rejuvenating yourself over the coming weeks. If you need anything research or otherwise let us know. X

Thanks girls, really appreciate your thoughts. We're due to fly out to Spain for 2 weeks in just less than 2 weeks time (second time I will have had a miscarriage on holiday now :( ) so I'm going to try to forget about it for the moment. We'll have to wait and see what the job situation is going to be like I think, if we survive this round of redundancies then perhaps I can broach the subject of one last go with OH. Until then I doubt he would even consider it.

I will still be reading the thread and rooting for you all, but I might be quiet for a bit. Best of luck to you all xx

Have a good rest, Ari. We'll all be thinking of you.
I don't think this is the one for me either. After a veritable test-fest these last couple of days, the lines are definitely getting lighter. So much for early implantation boding well.

ari I hope you get some rest while you are away

brown how many days dpo are you ??? My fingers are crossed for you

Thanks Buzzy, I'm only 11dpo now but at 8dpo (the first day I started testing - makes you wonder if it would have been positive at 7!) the line was stronger than now. I've spent a fortune on First Responses (by the way, they're 2 for 1 on double packs in Boots at the moment)! It's definitely on its way out and I wouldn't be surprised if I start bleeding tomorrow.

brown stop with the POAS. It will just send you mental. We all know that the line colour can change for number of different reasons. So take a step back and retest at then end of the week if you feel you must. The other option is a blood test at least then you would get a better idea of what the numbers are doing.

ari I hope that you have a nice time in Spain and get a chance to recharge your batteries. I think you are amazing, coping the way you did with being in Limbo.

I know duggs ages ago (probable 6 months plus) talked about a thread met up. I just wondered if anyone would be up for this or feels like organising this. It is just I feel like I do not have anything in common with the pred thread and I do not go on there often now.

Ari I hope the holiday will give you a well deserved rest especially with the threat of redundancy looming. Maybe it will be a good time to broach another IVF round with OH - I know mine is easier to talk to about the whole TTC journey when we are away.

Brown I echo what lemon is saying - stop testing and wait a few days. It drives you mental though. I know when I am due to test, I can't sleep properly the night before.

I also agree about the royal baby - its driving me mad!!

Lemon I would be up for a meetup, feels like I will never leave this thread at times so I know what you mean about the pred one. I rarely post on that one now.

Me too, I'd meet up...sue and I have been on here so long that I'd probably be invited to her 50th birthday we know so much about each other... Choccy and pebbles too.. And lemon... In fact we've all been around so bloody long it's ridiculous, but useful for sharing info and for support. What place is best..? I live near maidenhead now after we sold our house.

I would certainly like to meet up. I live in Kent, so the London area is easy enough.
Ladies, I know what you're saying makes sense, but, .... you know. I have actually stepped away from the tests... but only because there are none to step away from currently. But don't worry, I've still got a pot of morning urine waiting for when I get some more this morning!
After a day of rubbish tests yesterday, I used my last test in the evening and got my best line yet. I don't know what's going on, but it was nice to go to bed hopeful, although I'm sure my hopes will be dashed soon enough.

Sticking my nose in briefly to say, I'd be up for a meet-up too, if I can get to it. I'm in Woking, so the London area is easy enough. Know what you mean about being here for ever duggs, my first posting on the pred thread was 10 Aug 2011 just after my third miscarriage, and here I am, almost 2 years later, still here :(

brown I meant to say, those hpts are the work of the devil, but I understand completely the compulsion! Got to be a good sign that you got your strongest test ever on an evening test, don't you think??

Me too - re my upcoming second anniversary on this and the Pred thread in Sept and about meeting up. So much has changed yet so much stays the same...

I'm in Surrey so London is fine.

i'm keen for a meet up,

yay to lines being sronger

The lines have all but disappeared now ... well, at least it gave my liver a nice break from wine for a while. Only to be replaced by pred though ....
I'd really like to meet up and put faces to names. When is everyone free?

I'd love to meet up too but in York but ill try.
Af arrived this am :( brown sorry to hear your lines are lighter :(

brown that is rather odd with the lines, are you able to get a blood test, still haven't given up on it being your time
