Stickybean sorry to hear you are out
Barbiegirl great news on the appt!
Well I've been doing tests every day and all positive, period was due Saturday and no sign of it. We are still not letting ourselves get excited as we have learnt how fragile things are from last month. Going to make an appointment with the Doctor for tomorrow so once we talk to her we'll know the official story. Wish we could be more excited but we're cautious.0 -

I got it into my head that my baby wasn't really gone, it was just taking a break and I'd have it back again. I got pregnant almost straight away the first time and foolishly thought it'd be easy the next time. So far all I've been getting are negative pregnancy tests. I know that baby is gone but I desperately want it back I don't know how to cope. I think I'm so sad recently as I'd be 6 months pregnant by now but all I feel is high emptiness. How do people cope?
I'm so sorry for your loss. I've not experienced it but I know a good few boardsies have and they may have some input. I don't know how I would deal with it, but maybe marking the fact that this baby existed like the fire lantern, planting a tree, maybe a little box of things that you may have collected from that time like the preg test or maybe a baby thing you bought.
Above all else, talking about it would be important. There are several specific forums for pregnancy loss and if you want to speak to someone (ie; not your partner or family) who has gone through it and really understands you then there are helplines as well for it. Probably the best place to start is www.miscarriage.ie I think that's where I would start, I'd want to talk to someone who actually understands what I'm saying and feeling.
Take care of yourself and definitely use this thread for TTC when you're ready, it's great.0 -

Hi Killerkity. Your baby will always be your baby. It is not easy and can't be brushed over. You will have good days and bad days, but on the bad days let the tears flow, talk to your hubbie and get through it.
I've found on this TTC journey that having focus' other than babies really helps to keep us sane. We've had 3 losses and I have named each one, and I know they are with my dad waiting on us to meet them someday. On special days and in special churches I light candles for them.
Acknowledge your pain and your grief and feel free to come back here as a lot of us have been weher you are.0 -

Over the years I have had many m/c's and you will have good days and bads days. I had a total bitch of a week last week. was really upset and I off loaded to some of the other girls on this fourm and that helped lots. Also had a mega cry with my husband. Now I am back to my happy positive self. No matter what from the second you find out about your baby it is your child, the dreams and hopes you have for that life and the loss of your baby takes away so much from you. I have named some of my babies and have done something each time to say goodbye in our own way.
A lot of my due dates I dont remember, I think I have blocked then out to cope but some are very much in my mind and i do find those days hard. For some reason I have 3 dates that knock me but I know they will and make a paln for it.
Its also good to plan things that are not to do with TTC and to get out and enjoy life. Myself and my husband really try to not let all this take over all of our life. After all we had and wanted each other before this and we have each other still. Thankfully we are a very close couple who cn talk about anything and we make each other stronger.
I think the main advice I can give you is to talk, cry and allow yourself to feel sad but be mindful if you are going into a deep depression to go see your GP. you have the right to cry and feel sad for your baby and for what could have been,

Hi meggysmom, I had a scan on my first clomid month which showed several follicles. One looked stronger than the others so the consultant guessed that was the clomid follicle which would mature further. The blood cysts did dissappear so maybe I will just continue to have cysts appear/disappear causing some discomfort. The pain isnt a big deal but I think when you are ttc you are aware of every ache, pain and movement in your pelvic region
I too have been using preseed. So we're synced up again this month. hopefully this will be a lucky month for both of us

Well we had our first Napro appointment today, and it was a lot to take in.
He suspects I have endometriosis and I've to book in a laparsocopy to check for that, I've had bloods taken for food allergies, I've been put on Naltrexone for my dopermine levels, lots of vitamin C, Vit D, Fish Oils and free radicals.
We've to meet our teacher in 2 weeks to start blood tests and are due back with him the end of July
I feel positive that we are doing something and that he feels we have an 80% plus chance of a successful outcome, whereas the time we went to SIMShe said 60% chance of mis-carrying.
Overall a very positive experience, so fingers crossed girls 0 -
What do you think about some good news?
I last posted here six months ago with my small thin positive, which unfortunately quickly became a miscarriage. I followed this thread before then, and continued afterwards too.
Well this morning I got my Big Fat Positive
I had caught a virus last week, was dying in bed for a few days, along with my husband, but while my husband´s cleared away after four days or so, I still had lingering headaches and queasy feeling. Started getting suspicious over the weekend, cos something just felt different about my stomach/boobs. I also recalled that the week before I had wanted (and had) a certain type of sandwich for lunch every single day, for ten days in a row. Very unusual. Well, so this morning it was confirmed. Just gotta get on to the doctor today. So happy, and am staying confident about this pregnancy.
Hope more good news piles into this thread too,

hey everyone just saying hello!
Congrats on everyone's good news, makes my day to see positives on this thread!
just a thought, i know you all know your bodies but for those of you who are pms-ing, i could of put money on my period being on the way when i got my bfp - so dont count yourselves out until the fat red lady sings !
10 weeks to go till my baby girl is here!
I was the same. If you look back on this thread I was certain that AF was on the way that month. All the pms symptoms, I even went to bed with a sanitary towel on I was so convinced that my period would arrive overnight (á la UPS
) I was in a mood where I just wanted it there and gone again so I could move onto IUI from OI.
Congrats to all the mammies on this thread. I spent a while here so know its not easy month after month. Hugs to all.
Java, cannot believe you are 10 weeks to go!0 -

Oh congrats FSS!!!! Kind of thought you might be run you were talking about your symptoms. Such great news pet.
Girls I'm cd16 today. I think I should have ovulated a few days ago as I'm on clomid but today I have the worst backache and tummy cramps and bloated ness. Did anyone else get odd symptoms with clomid? TMI coming but realised I have alot of discharge on pants too. The cramps are so bad now that there is a terrible ache trying to pee. Sort of worried now. If I have them in the morn, I think I'll be ringing the hospital again.0 -
Hi everyone, hope you all good weekends. Its so quiet here at the mo I can only assume you're all around cd14
I had such a bad weekend with backache and cramps that I think it was ovulation but it really was very painful,...nothing like I've ever experienced before. Im not sure if I should put it down to clomid or not.0 -

I hadnt heard that at all and doc didnt warn me about it...I thought I might be dying Anyways, it looks like i ov'd later than expected so by then my hubby was exhausted from being on the job so we missed the key dates Hoping that egg and his swimmers have a decent life span!!! 0 -

We did analysis after one year. We knew that my husband had been ok as well but did the tests anyway to be sure. Results were perfect. we also did them at the beacon and they were about €120-€150...cant remember now. Good luck this month 0

thanks yellowhen,did you just call them direct or do you have to have gp referral?I would much rather just go straight to clinic rather than do it publicly through gp!!
Good luck to you too,if your hubbys spermies were all great and normal range,no need to think you may be out as long as it was somewhere around 4-5 days pre-ovulation,fingers crossed for you:)0 -

Hi all, I haven't been on in a while. FSS & Popel - congrats!
We had a disastrous cycle last month - both me and hubby were sick for the whole week around ovulation so there was no "doing the deed", and my bloods were a complete mess too! Anyway, back on track for this cycle!
I'm day 16 today and I had terrible ov pain last night (really bad, difficult to walk!) - so we didn't get up to anything. But we had got up to plenty the previous night so I'm hoping that might have had an impact. And we'll be getting up to plenty again tonight! And then the 2WW sets in - the worst bit! Here goes nothing...............0 -

Ok so did an early pregnancy test...not due AF till Sunday but it's saying pregnant 1-2 weeks! Now I kind of wish I hadn't done it cause of how many don't survive past when your period is due! And I'm feeling really crampy today too, just like when AF is coming I def won't be doing the early one again! 0

Hi girls I need some advIce from those who have taken clomid. I ovulate on my own but am taking clomid to increase our chances. My cycle was averaging about 30 days before clomid and with clomid last month it was 27 days. This month is my 2nd clomid month and based on mucous I think I ovulated on cd12/13 but based on the excruciating pain later that week I think I more realistically ovulated on cd17/18. Well low and behold my period arrived yest on cd26. I thought clomid was meant to lengthen you lutheal phase. I'm not sure whether to start taking the final months clomid prescription today. I am so dissappointed, had high hopes for clomid What would you do? X 0
