Damn witch.

Awww - so sorry to hear that Fluffette

I don't really have much to report. The u/s was uncomfortable bordering on unpleasant and I have no official word from either the tech or my OB. I have the unofficial word from the doctor's assistant that nothing was found.

Honestly? That doesn't tell me that it's bad, that just tells me that nothing showed up. Maybe I'm thinking this wrong, but I don't think I've read anything about blighted ovum's without even a sac being seen on u/s. I guess one thing it COULD mean is a chemical pregnancy? I don't know. It will *likely* be a couple of weeks before I get the official word on it due to the holidays.

Regardless of anything, I don't think this was conclusive. I think it warrants further monitoring and probably at some point another u/s. Anton and I had decided going into this that even if we got actual 'proof' that it is a blighted ovum, that we'd want at least several more weeks of monitoring and another u/s or 2 before we'd be convinced that it truly wasn't viable.

Today's test honestly made me feel like I'm more in limbo then ever before. Maybe I'm in denial? What do you ladies think?

Aw hun I am sorry that you have to deal with all the uncertainty.

AF arrived.

I'm sorry fluffette

Happy New Year everyone! Just so you know I officially have declared this the year of the baby!

I got a great New Years Eve present...AF! I know that is usually not exciting but this is the first time in 12 months that my period has started on its own with any medical intervention. I'm choosing to believe that this is a sign of good things to come this year.

I also got a second opinion from a different specialist and he started me on metformin to hopefully regulate my cycles (yay!) and then as soon as these blasted cysts are gone we are going to try Femara. SO excited!

Hope everyone else had a good new year. Remember it is the year of the baby so we all are going to have good things happen to us this year!

Good sign that af showed up of it's on accord trishg and sounds like a great new plan of action. Love the idea of 2012 being the year of the baby for everyone!

OMG Trish!!! Af showed up for me first time in 8 months and it came on it's own. 2012 is certainly going to be a great year. Especially since it started off with a natural af for both of us!!! I can totally relate to having af come and being super excited by it. I was so excited I even told my brother

Hope the metaform helps out! Good luck shrinking those cysts!

Happy New Year ladies!

I like "the year of the baby" as the slogan for the year

Someone posted this picture in another thread and I just loved it. Never give up is my motto for this year.

Hey folks, The Year of the Baby. Love it. Feeling really optimistic about this year. Hopefully lots of good stuff ahead for all of us.

This cycle we aren't temping, monitoring CM, using OPK's and we haven't even worked out when we think I'm due to ov. It feels incredibly liberating.

We will just have to wait and see what happens!

 

[MrsReiver]

Woo Hoo! A lovely dose of thrush. Just what we didn't need.

Mother Nature really is a bitch sometimes.

hope it clears up soon Fluffette!

Rushed to the ER last night and had surgery to remove my right ovary. It was to 3x its normal size and had twisted 5 times, cutting off the blood supply. By the time they got in there it was too late to save it, it was black and dead. Feeling really sore from the surgery and empty inside.

Hiya,
I hope you don't mind me tagging on to this thread! I have been reading all the posts from the beginning over the last couple of days and I think that this is the right thread for me. So here is my story;
My DH and I decided that we were ready to TTC after being married two years. I stopped the pill in March 2011 after taking it for around 2yrs; (I used to tri-cycle the pill due to a diagnosis of probable endometriosis to elevate symptoms) I had a normal withdrawal bleed straight away and another 27 days later. Since then my cycle lengths have then been as follows, 44, 34, 36, 46, 26, 42, 40, 28. I know this is nowhere near as long as some of the cycle lengths I have seen on here (and for that I am very lucky) but by main concern is that from cycle date 14 to the next bleed (which obviously varies) I feel really rubbish, stomach ache, no energy, sick, sore breasts just generally unwell really...but no pregnancy. I saw my GP who referred me to a fertility consultant who sent DH for a SA which showed slightly low sperm count (14000 instead of 20000) and only 4% of normal shaped sperm. My DH has to have another SA done in April and for now is taking Well man conception, does anyone know if this is any good? I am also taking the pregnacare conception vitamins (again are these any good? if not what do you guys recommend?) I have been referred for a laparoscopy and dye test in April to see if there are any endometriosis patches and to check tubes etc. My questions are: are the vitamins any good? In you're opinion/s do you think my varying cycle lengths could be as a result of stopping the pill? (the doctor didn’t seem to know) Also does anyone know if by having EWCM it definitely means I am ovulating? I did think about trying the ovulation kits but I have heard difference in opinions on how reliable they are so any advice would be gratefully appreciated. Sorry for sure a long babbling post I am new and haven't got to grips with all the acronyms.
Thanks guys

Oh and Trishg21 I am so sorry to see that you are going through such a tough time. I wish you a speedy recovery
