Amanda. I am SO sorry, truly about this. I will be praying for you too because I know how much that hurts :'(

Mirena, I have heard MANY things about it that are only bad things so maybe this is just a side effect of it until it gets out of your system. I mean regular birth control takes a few months to get out so hang in there :( It's not you I'm sure it's just because of it. If you ever need to talk we all are here :)

Amanda, I am so sorry about your news, m/c is heartbreaking. After my first m/c I decided to take baby asprin as I had read that it can help and is perfectly safe and I went on to have a successful pregnancy. Might be unrelated but I am taking it again this time just incase :0) It might be worth asking your dr.

I think I may have had another m/c last year when we wern't trying, but my dr said there was no way to really know so I figured if the asprin is safe, I should take it.

I am a little anxious about my age, I turn 35 this year is there anyone else of a similar age?

Hi ladies,

We have been on vacation for the last four days, and just returned yesterday evening. Thank-you so very much for your warm welcomes! I can't wait to get to know you all on this journey.

Amanda, I read through the last few posts today, and I'm so very sorry. I have had two miscarriages myself, and I know it's a diffcult thing. I hope the doctor can run some blood work for you, and you feel more at ease this week. My thoughts are with you. Keep us updated!

So, I haven't read too far back to know what day everyone is on? How is everyone?

I have had a ton of discharge today, so I'm off to get a opk pack to start testing. Every month has been different with +opk. Today is cd 8, and I have been getting a +opk the last few months at cd17, so this seems early to me. I feel like my hormones are so out of whack. sigh.

My cycles are in consistent, and I notice I get my period too early after an +opk (usually period arrives 11-12 days from the +opk). Since ovulation usually occurs 24-48 hrs. from that +opk test, it just feels too early since that would only be like a 9/10 luteal phase. I have had a lot of spotting too and cramping a whole week before my period even arrives.

I have a MD I was seeing for some things last year, and just saw him today. He is going to run some blood tests on my hormones, so I can take those labs in to my gyn/ob on May 1st when I see him. I see my gyn on May 1st for a "consultation". He told me last November to come back in a few months if we weren't pregnant. So, the journey starts with all of that. I honestly feel like I have a progesterone problem since I was so deficient before in pregnancy with it. Anyways, I'm off to grab a opk and start testing and see if I'm getting ready to ovulate!

I;m thinking about buying baby aspirin. How often do you all take it during ovulation? I'm supposed to O on sunday so I was wondeirng if tomorrow would be too late to start?

I started taking it about a week ago (was supposed to ovulate on Thursday). Don't think it's too late as it works quickly and is supposed to ensure that blood can flow to the baby, incase your body rejects it and starts clotting.
That's my understanding anyway :0)
Good Luck

Tanlianz: Girl....you are young! lol I am 40 i had a Tubal reversal done August 2012 @ 39. I turned 40 jan 1st. Oh, by the way my dh turned 50 jan 10th. I don't think you are toooooo old if that is what your wondering.

Sandra: welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your vacation.

I would love to be your buddy on our baby journey. I am working towards baby #3. following the birth of my last daughter (eight years ago) I went back on the depo, my last one was due in Mat 2012, but I did not get it because the hubby and i knew that soon we wanted another. It has been almost a year, my stopped while on depo but returned to normal as soon as I stopped it each time. IDK what to do I think I'm having baby blues.

Good Morning Ladies

Sophia: Welcome to the forum......

Momma: Did you O on sunday? I O on Saturday so I am inmy TWW. We went out of town and had to share a hotel room with the kids so we only go a chance to BD on Friday which was the first day of my + OPK. I only got two smiley faces one on Friday and the other one on Sat. So hopefully that was enough but if not I enjoyed it (that was our first time using per-seed) Im looking forward to hearing from you.

Sandra: Are you still on vacation? Or are you busy BDing?

Dbjohnson: Why are you MIA? Are you BDing too? If you all are doing all of that bding I know some BFP are going to be posted in a few weeks

AFM: I am tired from the long drive from Santa Barbra. I drove while DH and the kids slept. That seemed like the longest 5 hours that I have ever had to drive Anyway......just getting back in the my routine. Just dropped the kids off at school now its time to get some cleaning done. Hope you all are having a great Monday!

Amanda: I'm really sorry! Have you considered visiting a fertility specialist?...I'll keep you and your hunsband in my prayers.

Ladies: Thank you for your kind words...we're on this together, right? Hope you all have a nice week, and baby dust to all of us! :)

Saludos from (still sunny) Santiago :)

Hello ladies,

Just checking in! I'm still waiting on my +opk. Husband and I are doing the every other day method until we get our +opk this time around to keep things flowing and little guys healthy. =) We usually were waiting up until we got our +opk to go for it, but this month, we are trying to "the sperm meets egg" method a friend told me about. basically at day 8, you start every other day, then once you get a +opk you have it 3 days in a row, skip a day, then one more day after. I figure nothing hasn't worked for us, to try this route.

My appt. with the doctor is May 1st. But, so wishing I just end up pregnant this month, and we don't have to go down that route.

Lucasmommy, I totally understand your frustration. My body changed so much after my daughter, and we didn't even have to do much other then say 'let's go for it" to get pregnant previously. This time around, my cycles are off, my luteal phase seems short, and we are really struggling with anything happening. I'm 35 and everyone makes stupid comments that maybe my time has come to an end. Really?! I struggle daily with wondering if we will ever have any more children. I try to stay upbeat about it, but after each month of getting a period, it does feel discouraging, and like it will never happen.

Zuberi, we took the kids too on a road trip. We were in the car for 6 hours, and it get's challenging with everyone all piled in. How exciting to be in the waiting stage now. Hopefully Friday worked! and this is the month for you!

Anyways, I can't wait to get my +opk! Soon I hope!

Everyone else doing okay?
