Were all here for each other, we keep each other going. I am so glad i did find this group, you all pick me up when i feel like giving up and i hope you feel same hun. :-) xx

Lis you are such a strong woman. I've been crying and praying for you today. I know that this is your loss but it has broken my heart for you. I wish so badly things could have been different. I admire your strength to carry on and head into your next cycle. I pray with all my heart you get pregnant with your forever baby this time. Just for peace of mind, I would like for you to ask your RE to do a progesterone check or put you on progesterone right after you ovulate this cycle. I know you never had a problem without in the past but since this is your last try I'd rather you be safe than sorry. Big hugs Lis. Try to relax this evening...maybe have a glass of wine or two.
Kraken praying for you too Hun. BIG HUGS

Sorry to hear this Lis. I admire your courage and strength to carry on, as you say you're a tough cookie. All the VERY best of luck for you going into the new cycle. It's never the end, you'll be holding your baby in your arms very soon xx
Karen is right, we're all here for each other and to draw strength from one another when life kicks us down. Praying for all of us xx

The RE called back, and they want me to wait out this cycle. My requests for the next cycle are to have estrogen after the clomid to thicken my lining before the IUI, to let the follicles grow past 20mm before triggering, to have a 3dp or 7dp progesterone check and PIO injections if necessary, to have a booster shot of HCG at about 7dpiui (I've read some things that say it can help support an early pg), and to have a serial beta req with progesterone in advance, so that I don't have to wait for them to fax the lab if I get a BFP. I'm also going to get acupuncture treatments throughout the cycle (I'm going to phone to start those probably next week) and I'm going to take EPO before O and low-dose aspirin after O.
If all that fails me, I will at least know I gave it my very best effort.
Thank you again for all your kindness and love. This was one hell of a week and its been an incredibly long year. I hope my next cycle is the one that is finally successful. If it is not, I still know I will have another child.
I hope those of us still waiting all find success soon.

*hugs* Karen. I wish you could have some answers.
I'm going today for my last beta to confirm the HCG is gone. I haven't had any spotting or anything since about Wednesday, so I'm not sure if or when I will get AF. I don't know if I should count the "period" I had before the rising HCG as CD1 or not. Either way I have to wait for another AF before starting meds again, so I'm technically on break for now.
Jess, hope you get your headaches under control. So soon your little man will be here!
Shea, how many weeks are you again?
Jani, how's it going?
Jen...where are you?! Hope all is well.

Hi ladies - I got lost hehe, was still following the other thread and I thought it had been quiet the last few days, do'h!
Lis your plan sounds amazing! Good luck and enjoy the break, a little break always helps bring you back to yourself :) Strange that the bleeding has stopped, hopefully it doesn't come on suddenly and heavily!
Shea - wow 20 weeks already, amazing! So very happy for you :)
Karen - sorry AF is so heavy and gross this cycle. Wish there was an easy answer for all of us. Keep at it hun!
I'm 10dpo atm and I don't feel pregnant, but boy has progesterone kicked my butt this cycle - I'm extremely fatigued, nauseous and my bbs are so sore and tender. Took a hpt yesterday at 9dpo and bfn. AF due (I think!) on Fri/Sat this week, so time will tell. I don't feel confident this cycle though...
Anyway ladies, have a good, happy and relaxing week!
