Hi inkdchick

Been thinking of you, we were supposed to test on the same day. So sorry to hear your news. Got my period yesterday. Feeling really low this month, thought it was supposed to get easier, but lots of tears today (m/c at 12 weeks in November 2010)

 

[Reb S]

Poor Spoomie and inkdchick, life is hard. Keep your spirits up, spring is coming, everything's getting fertile - us too! I feel like such a traitor as I just O'd and we're not supposed to try this month. Feels like such a sin to waste an egg!
Off to USA for a week so will buy lots of good vitamins at half the price of UK! I'll try to check in during the week, but good luck to everyone x

Hey Ladies. Wow it's so nice to see this thread really picking up with so much going on.

Glitter - Words cannot express how over the moon I am for you. No nasty IVF for you.

Pip - Tokyo Tits!

Miss_C - I hope you bring LO back for good and very soon.

Jax41 - I'm glad you're all good to go - I've got my fingers crossed.

Flumpsy - So sorry to hear about your MC's but on a brighter note you are obviously a fertile myrtle so I hope you get your forever bfp very soon.

Glowstar - Interesting prediction - Roll on March

Reb S Sorry you had to miss a month - it's so annoying when that happens. Here's to the next one being yours.

Tishmouse - What a bunch of tossers your work colleagues are. So glad you got the polyp removed there and then in the end and got home to an all clear smear - Here's to good news for you very soon.

Inkdchick - I'm so sorry the old hag bag got you - I had such high hopes for you this month.

As for me - well, I'm taking 50mg of Clomid for the first time - started yesterday CD5, so far no side effects but I'm working outside all next week so was rather looking forward to a hot flush or two

 

[Jax41]

Hi Lovely Ladies - just a quick update from me before I jet off to Devon for a short break. AF got me yesterday arrrrghhhh!!!!!!! Old hag!!! I was so excited and suprised to be late but I might've known it wouldn't last esp as I didn't really have a lot of symptoms even though I convinced myself I did and at least I got to do a test!!!!!! Thank you so much for having your fingers Xed and thinking about me - roll on next month......

Inkdchick - I'm so gutted for you hun

Tishimouse - thanks for sharing and letting me read your posts, you're one generous lady with your kind words and advice

Glitter - congrats, so pleased for you!!!!:

Reb S - we must be on the same kinda cycle? I hope AF hasn't got you though? Like Tishimouse said in her post we MUST keep trying, keep trying, it will happen......

For you all and everyone else Nise, Pip, Miss_C, Flumpsy, Glowstar, Spoomie, love and baby dust xXx

MMM3, hi. I am 42 and have also suffered 3 m/c, the most recent being last November at 12 weeks. However, I wanted to post and give you some hope that, although it may not feel like it, getting pregnant is the hardest bit and you are able to do that! In amongst my m/c I managed to hold on to my beautiful 2 year old son (and I had pneumonia when I got a BFP with him!) A midwife friend once told me that getting pregnant is the difficult bit and if your body can do this I'm sure it's just a matter of fine tuning and some luck. In fact, after my last m/c the consultant who discharged me said that I had been very unlucky, my reply to her was that I feel bl**dy unlucky but what she was trying to say is to keep the faith and one of these times it'll go all the way, I just wanted to pass this on to you. I hope you don't think I'm being flippant, I KNOW there are real medical reasons why women have recurrent m/c, I just wanted you to know that it can also be bad luck (after all, the medical profession doesn't think there's anything to investigate until you've had 3, even though that's a million miles from what WE feel) and that you shouldn't automatically assume it will continue to go wrong. You WILL get your beautiful baby xx

sorry guys im out well and truly bleed heavy this moring with lots of cramping off to docs on tues morn so will let you know xxx

I think I'm out too. AF wasn't due until the beginning of next week (around Tuesday). However, I had some unusual spotting on Saturday morning (watery red and brown mucus) but no cramps. Still had sore boobs and felt nauseous. Today the boobs don't hurt quite as much and are now very soft. Still feel nauseous and the spotting has turned into a very light bleed. (It's not even soaking a regular tampoon over 2 or 3 hours use.) Still no cramps but an occasional soreness on my left hand side. yesterday morning and haven't bothered testing today.

Not sure whether my cycle is messed up post m/c or post mirena coil. I fell pregnant as soon as mirena removed (after 14 years of IUD/IUS), but miscarried on 26 December at 10w3d after contracting swine flue. My first "normal AF" (cramps and heavy bleeding) came 30 days later on 24 January and lasted 5 days. On CD25 there was some brown blood once when I wiped (at 9DPO which I hoped was implantation bleeding) followed by this "strange AF" (at 11DPO).

Very confused

to everyone who is having a c*** time. Stick with it ladies. We CAN do it!!!

Leaving a little bit of extra to one and all.

Lovely load of positivity here.

Girl Power for Mother Nature to grab hold of.

I'm a happy bunny today as my SIL shared that her baby is arriving by appointment on March 1st. She's 41 by the way and conceived naturally. OK, she has gestational diabetes but that's all under control and my new little niece will be introduced to the World very soon indeed. Inspiration for the over 40's there.

[Glowstar]

Good Luck today Ink...hope you get some positive answers...let us all know how you get on

Any chart stalkers out there? my temps have shot up today, I did wake up with a bit of a runny stuffy nose so not sure if that's why tested BFN yesterday

 

[inkdchick]

wel doc said when i walked in that he was looking for a bookin in form for our first antenatal appt but he said i couldnt find one so i guess its bad news, he was gutted for us asked me lots of questions and said that he has a really close friend who is a fertility specialist who will see us urgently at the local hospital as he says that we are falling pregnant but looks like i cant keep it in there so he thinks i could need a progesterone suppliment to help with it for the first 12 weeks and this fertility friend of his will be able to help. I gave him a list of all my period dates, gaps and lengths for the last 2 and half years and he found reading that i had actually had 12 early m/c's so says enough is enough and he will explain it all to his friend and he recons with his help we should be heavily pregnant before the end of the year so fingers crossed and a lots of prayers from all you lovely girls, my hubby , my doc is even doing it for us he is so sweet and concerned for us and says that now is important so he is rushing it through x
