I'm kind of excited for you PD! I'm amazed at your ability not to test. I stupidly tested because I convinced myself that I ovulated this past weekend and since I happened to have a hpt lying around I used it this morning (and this afternoon and this evening) and got a faint positive. I'm not happy because I'm thinking it's leftover hcg from before the d&c. I'm going to the ob tomorrow for my post-op appt so my guess is if her test shows positive I'll be doing some rounds of blood work. And I really was hoping that I ovulated so I could either get pregnant or start a new cycle. So much for trying to control things you should know you can't.

Ladies I'm around but not posting much as being tryn to relax an not stress.

Today I've been really moody an the least thing will set me off. Got a note from a preacher saying a few things so I went off on him. He was stating some things that don't need to be said. I usually don't go off but he said something doesn't need be said on trying to tell us how to live as a christian.

Hope you ladies are doing good an other things.

Hi everyone

I haven't been on here in ages (trying to get my head together). So, I'm sorry if I don't say hello to everyone individually.

Max: I'm so sorry to hear you're news. Its seems alot of us have had our happy news only for it to be taken away again. Still.... onwards we go.

PDMC: I can't wait for you to give us some news.

Pippi: If I didn't chart I wouldn't have a clue when to do the do with dh. I agree with Mistty, tiredness etc can get in the way. We have a very different pattern now to when we first got together 5 years ago and those golden couple of days when an OPK is positive gave us the motivation.


Garfie: I know you're not on here at the moment but just wanted to say I was sorry to hear your news about the fire. That's awful.

AFM: Have hospital appointment on 12th March to get my blood test results back. Hoping they can identify why MC keeps happening but I'm expecting they won't have anything useful to give me. My BBT is significantly lower now, does that mean something??? My AF is still AWOL so I think I'm in for a long wait until my cycles start up again. I'm fed up with this waiting business.

Thanks Barna. My RE says that prior to seeing a heartbeat the issue is usually hormonal and after the heartbeat it's usually chromosomal. Are you going to do anything different this cycle? I started taking OvaBoost, Prenatals and Royal Jelly and I'm thinking of acupuncture. I feel kind of stupid because I think those things are just me grasping at straws. I may end up back at ivf but we can't get that started until I get my period. Then I'd have to wait a cycle because my husband and I agreed that we'd discuss ivf 6 weeks after the d&c when I'm not "hormonal". Ok. He doesn't want to do the ivf because of how hard it was the last time as I delivered the twins at 28 weeks. They're absolutely fine and we could always just put one embryo back and freeze any others we have and we could do pgd but he's basically saying we have it all right now why mess with it. How do I argue with that? I say a singleton pregnancy may not result in preterm labor and he says but you're two years older and older women are at an increased risk of having preterm labor. I could go on. Well the official discussion won't happen till March 11th which will be 6 weeks and not a second before. Let me know what you find out Barni. I'm very interested.

Hi bigger!

Hi Max,

I will let you know if my blood test results reveal anything. I've been told the same thing, its probably age and chromasomal issues (because a heartbeat is always seen and then by 8 weeks something seems to go wrong). Well, thats from the GPs. In fact all the docs etc I've seen through this MC keep mentioning donor eggs.

I'm already (and have been taking for 6+ months) a whole load of vitamins which include Royal Jelly, Omega 3, Co-enzyme Q10, Vit B complex, Folic acid, Selenium to name a few!!! I stopped taking them while pregnant but now I'm back on them.

I had acupuncture for 3 months prior to my last pregnancy and she thinks that my MC is due to lack of care from the hospital but she's obsessed with me having sticky blood because I mentioned that they tested me for that after losing my son. Despite the results being normal she still thinks its an issue that needs treating. I'm not sure if its straw clutching but she knows her stuff. I've just started seeing her again to try and balance my hormones really. I'm sure she'll have something to say about whatever test results come back. I'm just praying my cycle comes back soon. It took 2 months for my first AF after my MC last time.

Here's hoping your discussion with DH goes well when the time comes. My hubby is much the same as yours it would seem. We're waiting for these results back before any discussions on what to do next. I think he wants to forget about the idea completely but I'm not ready to do that yet.

Pdmcd good luck with testing

I hope everyone else had a nice Valentines Day. We are into our final cycle of IUI after yet another chemical preg. Just jabbing and waiting now!

Good luck Maddy! I have a good feeling for you.

Barni - I'm doing acupuncture too starting next monday. I started before my iivf cycle so a lot of good that did me. But I figure it can't hurt. I'm taking OvaBoost, Royal Jelly and Prenatals. I just started those too and I totally feel like I'm grasping at straws. I know deep down inside that ivf is the smartest thing to do but since I can't do that now (didn't get my first period yet) I figure I'll try some other stuff that will give me the illusion of having control. My husband says our final convo will happen on March 11th which is 6 weeks to the day after my d&c. The idea is that by 6 weeks I'll have had my period and then he can be sure that what I'm saying is not pregnancy-hormonal induced. So we wouldn't start a cycle of ivf till mid-march at the very earliest if we do that at all. I figured that I'll have at least two cycles of ovulation by then so why not try something? He will absolutely do ivf if I ask him but he thinks that we had such a rough go of the pregnancy and birth of th twins last time that why should we mess with something's that not's broken. All the evidence points in his favor and I'm so superstitious that all I keep thinking is if I force him to do ivf it really will all go wrong. I feel very stuck.

So I tested and the test was a dud no lines not even the control I will get one tomorrow or the next day. I'm kinda scared though if the test is negative I will be devastated as the later af is the more optimistic I get

I am having some nausea but I'm not sure if its related to my going off the metformin and my body now trying to regulate my blood sugars on its own

Ill keep you posted

How is everyone else

PD - I'm really hoping this is it for you! It all sounds good. You've never been this late right?

I bought opk's and it looks like I'm inching my way towards ovulation. My husband goes away on business on Tuesday so hopefully I'll ovulate before then or soon after. I won't be testing at all this time around.
