I feel like I'm about to O but still no pos opk. Maybe it's the crazy super moon.

Haha. Dont we all

I need your opinions ladies. I talked with the nurse this afternoon. She said as long as I'm not passing huge fist sized clots (which I'm not), that I can start my next round of clomid in a few days. I told her I was curious if I should take a cycle off and get my bloodworked rechecked (lh, fsh, testosterone, blood glucose) and check for any clotting disorders. She said it wouldnt hurt me to take a cycle off for myself to rest and regroup mentally. So she scheduled me for a papsmear next thursday and so I could talk with my dr about our game plan. But when I got home and told dh...he was upset that we could try again this cycle. The more we talked the more we both started getting depressed at the idea of not being able to keep trying. Reason...dh's family reunion is Sept 1st. That was the weekend we wanted to tell family we were preg. Since we cant do that now, I at least want to be trying rather than waiting to try. I just know me and know I'll be extremely depressed still stuck on this m/c. So, we're thinking about doing clomid again this round and seeing if I can still get bloodwork done.

So what do you think.....should I take a cycle off.....or just keep moving forward?
I think typing this out helped me make my decision.....LOL.

I'm also thinking about doing an aspirin regimen if my doctor gives me the go ahead. I've read about many PCOSers using aspirin cause we do have a heightened risk of clotting issues.

Lammy- I just never thought past the excitement .and I don't want to sound ungrateful .this is for sure what I want .but this journey is so terrifying .and for some reason I don't feel as connected to this baby :/

It's ok nicky. When you've been thru so much it's like a survival mechanism. I'm 110% sure that your bond will be very strong near the end of your pregnancy.

@Nicky - It is still early and perhaps the 'lack of bond' is just because you are nervous. Once you know everything will be okay, you will probably find it easier to connect with the baby. I know when I get pregnant next time, it will be touch-n-go in the beginning becase I've had a few miscarriages. I'm sure I won't be able to really get uber excited until I'm in that 2nd trimester.

@Waiting - You have to do what is best for you since it is your body. Don't let any outside pressures push you. However, I will say this. Technically, you had a chemical pregnancy, so you don't have to take time off from TTC - if you don't want to.

I'm curious - has your doctor conducted genetic testing? For example, have you been tested for MFTHR? That can be connected with recurrent miscarriages. Also, what about a Saline Sonogram to ensure you don't have any polyps or anything preventing sustained implantation. Especially since regular sonograms don't show these types of issues. I had a sonogram and it showed nothing...then when I had the saline sonogram that expanded my uterus, the doc found my polyps. I also found out I have the MFTHR and now take folate instead of folic acid.

If you are going to take off a cycle, getting more tests may be a good idea.

AFM - I had a BFN last night, so I stopped taking the Progesterone supplements. So...my temp dropped this morning and AF is probably just a day or two away. So we shall see.

Hi Ladies I'm new on here and this has to be the best discussion page ever. I really want to join you guys Cruz I feel like the craziest person. My dh and I have been trying for 2 years with 2 m/c and lots of tears and frustrations. It would just be nice to be able to talk to other women who ate going through the same thing. I am only 2cd so again we r starting over this month. But I am sure in my tww I'll be complaining :) hope to have some great convoys with u ladies.

Hi Praying! Welcome to the nuthouse! But first...i'm so sorry about your losses. It feels a lot longer than just 2 yrs doesnt it? My 1&1/2 yrs feels more like 10. If you dont mind me asking....have the drs figured out why it's hard for you to conceive and get a sticky bean?
