How are you feeling now, how is the spotting? Thank you for your words when you have your own worries too, getting a BFP causes a whole set of new anxities, I remember the feelings well. I have taken progesterone for a while now and it can cause some spotting, also if it was old implantation blood the residue from the progesterone will make it look much worse than it is. I hope this can put your mind at rest and will be keeping my fx'd for you xxx.

Hi, Im still having brown, but I think the progesterone is makinvg it look like more and much worse. Its messy stuff the progesterone as its oily, waxy stuff and as its picking up some brown in there by the time it comes out its looking worse. I have really sore boobs still so trying to be positive that the pregnancy is still going. Only time will tell on Thursday.
I hear you - its ok for people to tell you to take time out and get strong but we all know all too well how life consuming it is. That sounds like a plan that you should look into - IUI with you only having one tube. As you say it sounds like you may have Ovulated from your right/tubeless side this month but that left side has got to have its turn soon. Pity you couldnt have one more try this month even if on teh fly. But I can see why your husband feels like he wants a break now, its destroying for both of you. On Thursday night when I cried my eyes out that when I seen my husband breakdown aswell and realised just how much its affecting him too. You cry as much as you need just now and enjoy comforting yourself with you wine, furbabies and dvd xx

Amos- Glad the evil witch finally turned up. Now send her packing!

Lee- A fur baby cuddle and some wine sound like a very very good idea. I hope they are smothering you with affection... you deserve it.

Hi Amos. According to FF and OPK I ov'd last Sunday so AF should be here tomorrow, wish she would hurry up I have the worst PMT ever, can't stop crying today, even at the most stupid stuff on TV, I'll probs take the soy CD 2 again just incase.

Just, the progesterone is a nightmare, very messy I wish I could fast forward time for you. I have every faith this will work out for you. and yeah I know it must be hard for dh too but sometimes I just don't think they get how life consuming it all is.

Sara, thanks. My Lil fur babies always have a hidden agenda, they want play time and treats lol.... I'll post a pic up of them so you can all see how cute they are x.

ohhh would live a pic. I want drown myself in cuteness right now.

Lee I say go for one sneaky soy cycle as you know I swear by it. Stopping ttc must be such a hard decision to make especially having gone through what you have. I really think its a brave woman that can make that decision. Ttc takes up so much of our lives. Cuddles with your fur babies sounds good. I am actually finally starting to feel. I have been numb and angry and thought I had protected myself well. Guess not. Certainly has not hit me as bad as the last. I'm feeling empty. I too had really bad pms on soy mind.

Amos so sorry af arrived but good luck with this cycle. Was it the tequila that flushed her out? Lol.

Justkeep god do I know that rollercoster well. Sending hugs.

Hi all, can I join you? I just found out on Good Friday (the irony) that we've lost another bubs (no heartbeat). I'll probably have to go into hospital as things arent happening naturally and I still have strong symptoms. This will be my 5th MC (second MMC) and I'm finding it really hard to find somewhere to talk without sounding like a moaning minnie or so ungrateful. This is my second MC this year.

Very quick and brief history: I'm 37, have had gynae problems since my early 20s ranging from no periods (female athlete triad) to one or two a year, to being diagnosed with a 'hostile' womb , and finally in 2009 diagnosed with PCOS and an inverted uterus.

My MCs normally occur at around 8-10 weeks, altough the one I had in January this year was at 5 1/2 weeks. Although it can't be proved I strongly believe my MCs are linked to the PCOS and not keeping my sugars level as its an insulin related disorder.

In late 2009/2010 I completely changed my lifestyle - cut down the booze, went on a low-GI / diabetic type diet, kept fit, stayed off dairy products and took agnus castus. I fell pregnant within 2 months after a couple MCs and then a few years of trying with no luck. We lost that one but I got pregnant a few months later and stuck to everything above and was blessed with my DS in November 2010.

Yes I am grateful, and after I stopped breastfeeding late last year and my periods returned my DH and I couldnt wait to try again. Easy to conceive this time but just not to be, and all I'm hearing is you're lucky to have one. Please don't get me wrong, I know I am but doubly I am finding it even more difficult to cope with the miscarriages as with my DS I see and feel even more what we have actually lost. Does that make sense?

I relented with my diet after I conceived this time and just have this sinking feeling that it contributed to this bubs also not blossoming. I'm hoping I'm barking up the wrong tree but like everybody we're searching for answers aren't we?

Sorry, I'll stop rambling now. Looking forward to getting to know everybody and sending baby dust to all.

Hi Serenity. Sorry to hear about your losses. I'm not really in the recurrent loss category, I had 2 losses last year, but the girls on here are so fab I kind of gate crashed. You won't hear "you are lucky to have one" on here. I am blessed with a 2 year old girl and never forget how lucky I am to have her, but I totally understand where you are coming from. We all have different circumstances but the support is fantastic.
Just, how are you today? Lee how are you?

Lee I'm so sorry And also you can't beat yourself up for getting your hopes for a bfp again as we all do!! How many years have you been trying for now if you dont mind me asking? I was wondering about iui for you too, heart and hopeful swear by it for obvious reasons. I am thinking of doing it myself with fertility meds. But still haven't had a period!!!! Hope you don't mind me butting in with this but I don't think you should stop trying for a year, just do quenbys protocol instead and go on the steroids AT bfp. I only think you should have a break if ttc is more awful that not thinking about ttc and not trying iykwim. x x x x

Just I have a really strong feeling that everything is going to be brilliant for you at your scan. Bleeding is so common but I know for us pals that's no reassurance at all!

Mandy Im really excited about your ivf! As you know we looked into it. We have provisionally booked the treatment which is ivf/pgd, a day 5 embryo second polar body test on all the chromosomes, then they put 2 back. We are doing this after one more try naturally so I'm going to get my day 3 bloods done when my af arrives so it's done. I'll be stalking!! I hope you get your forever baby from it and it all works brilliantly for you x x x

Amos glad the witch came eventually but also not so glad for obvious reasons

Hi angel, welcome but so sorry you find yourself here I have a few things to say in response to your post. First of all you should not feel 'grateful' for your ds in that sense and no one should make you feel like you're lucky to have one and count your blessings etc that just makes me mad! You have really suffered and you're continuing to in your quest for number 2 and need as much support as possible because of what you've been through whether you've got children or not. It's not your fault you've suffered all these losses so the food thing you mentioned is just you blaming yourself as we all do as a symptom for mc's. In fact how do you really know for sure your change in diet helped at all or was the only reason for success? I do know that pcos can cause mc's. I've heard that clomid can help with pcos, is that true? It will happen again for you I'm sure and you'll find loads of support on here,
