Congrats Have3Wanting4 wishing you a sticky and boring 8 months.

Welcome mrsbully7 sorry to hear about your mc, I hope your cycle sorts itself out soon and you can pinpoint O.

Jane23 yes I know what you mean. Goodluck with the fs hope the week goes quickly for you.

AFM well I should be getting AF sometime in the next 2 weeks as its been 4 wks since my d&c, so fingers crossed it turns up quickly.

BRONZE!

Congrats Have3Wanting4! Great news xx All the best for the weeks and months ahead
MrsBully1 - sorry you find yourself here! hope you work out your cycle and get that fat belly soon xx
MrsBoof - any BFP yet??
rara12 - hope AF shows up soon!
Hi everyone else! I lost track with the personals, sorry.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. Anyone testing soon?
AFM, my period has been awful this month, really heavy and drawn out. Guessing things are still not back to normal really. Going to try to focus on being a bit healthier this month, improve my diet and get some more exercise. It will be a good distraction too!
Splendid xx

splendid - sorry to hear af is being a real cow this month, not nice for her to turn up at all let alone make her presence so painful

rara12 - hope af turns up for you soon, getting it for the first time after m/c is always a releif I find.

afm - just a quick one on how my fs appoint went. I thought I might be up for IUI before IVF but she said we should just go straight for IVF. She said the advantage for us is that they can put the "good" eggs back in so we have a better chance of no chromosonal abnomalities (well less likely). DH and I have decided to do a couple more natural cycles and see what happens first though. She has put me on asprin full time as I'm ANA Pos and also I'm to start taking Progesterone Pess from around day 20 (so after I have ovulated) and she thinks this will help with the spotting between O and AF. The other thing I found interesting re my cycle is when I mentioned my pos OPK she said well lets do a scan and have a look. And it showed I was still at least 3 -4 days off ovulating. She (and my gp for that matter) don't really beleive in OPK's as a good indicator of O. The other thing I learned was that I could have a luteal phase of between 10 to 14 days - I always thought I was bang on 14 days each time but not true! So I could be days off when I've been thinking I've O'd and that's why I keep missing the egg as we are stopping BD too early. So we are really going for it the next few cycles, all the way to day 19 is we can make it - omg we will be exhausted

Hi ladies,

Sorry, I dissapeared for a litle while there.

But yes, AF did eventually arrive. It was just being deceptive in turing up 4 days after expected - some spotting on Monday and then arriving fully on Wed. However, that in itself isn;t a bad thing. DH is heading overseas for work for 1 week leaving Sunday - so at least now he should be back in time for O, whereas if AF was on time them maybe we might have missed it. But I am wondering if my cycle is correcting itself back to the 35day cycle I had before DD.

Jane23 - It sounds like the FS appointment was very helpful. And nice to know that you have a plan in place for the future - but hopefully you wont need it and you will get your BFP soon!

rara12 - any sign of AF yet (or a BFP if your trying)? It took 5 weeks for mine to arrive after a natural m/c

congrats have3wanting4!!! Yay!!

Bugger about AF splendid, and thanks to my AF being later we wont be testing around the same time this cycle - hope this month is the month for us both! I am also focussing on health this month - particually back to exercise. I am wondering if my few weeks of sadness about my m/c finally catching up to me last month affected my fertility?

Anyone seen SusieBlue around? Maybe I'll have to go stalk her and to see how she is going after her BFP a ocuple of weeks ago.

Mrsboof - Thank you for thinking of me I'm still following the group, although I haven't been posting because I didn't know if I should or not. I'll let you know whats happening so you don't need to stalk!

Well, I'm still pg (almost 7 weeks going off when I think I Oed). Pregnancy after mc is a totally different experience. I'm either a)just trying not to think about it, or b) totally paranoid that something will go wrong. There actually really hasn't been any moments of just happiness. I seem to have more symptoms this time, and they seem like the symptoms I had when I was pg with DS so that is giving me some comfort, although I am still reasonably well. We're going on holidays for a week todau, and then we have a scan when we get back - I thought I might enjoy my holiday more this way.

Anyway, DS is around my feet and making it difficult to type!! I hope to see more of you graduating soon

Hi again everyone
SusieBlue: glad to hear things are going well so far! Enjoy your holiday and good luck for your scan.
mrsboof: sorry to hear that AF did show up, but at least your cycles might be getting back to normal. And also good that your DH will be home in time for ovulation! I imagine it would be frustrating to know you are ovulating and not having DH there!!
Jane23: glad you got some useful advice at your FS appointment. And like mrsboof said, it's nice to know there is a plan if nothing happens over the next couple of months!
rara12: any sign of AF yet? Hopefully not too far away now.
Hi everyone else!
AFM, CD 8, I think. I am counting the first day of heavy bleeding as CD 1, even though I had spotting/light bleeding 4 days before that. I was at my GP during the week for an unrelated thing, and spoke briefly with him about what's been happening. He isn't sure that I'm regularly ovulating, as I've had a few short cycles. I've also still been producing breastmilk, even though I weaned DD 4 months or so ago, so maybe that's afffecting my cycle. He said we can give it 2 months, and if nothing happens we'll do some blood tests and maybe try to clomid to reset my cycle. So nice to have an action plan in case I need it, but fingers crossed this will be my month anyway! I've got loads of uni work to do which is a good distraction. Although crawling into bed late after a big night of assignment writing hardly lends itself to much BD, but I guess I will have to try to make an effort!!
Have a good weekend everyone, the sun is shining where I am, so that is nice!!
Splendid, xx
