not so gd af showed up bt quiet right having a little drink sometimes that can help when u feel like that

i was going to buy preseed bt im going to wait till i have my blood work done to see if all my levels go up

best of luck this month baby dust for u :)

I can feel what you're going through. I had my mirena removed in August of 2010 and when things weren't happening I began tracking my cycles in May of 2011. Got pregnant in October just to miscarry and now everything is getting thrown off with my period and my body. It seems that every week another of my friends from high school is expecting and so excited. It gets harder and harder. And I will have to admit, I have not been handling it very well at all. In all honesty the only thing that has kept me hopeful recently, is knowing that I have a doctors appointment next Monday to find out what is wrong.

I wish all of you ladies luck! Hopefully it will be our turn to share our excitement soon!

Welcome HkateS. I know exactly where you are coming from! It is just not the easy, fun journey that I dreamed it would be.

Good for you on the wine mrsbaurs! The days that AF shows up I wish I was a wine drinker! But I drink beer instead!

Well we have our monitoring appointment tomorrow and may be taking my first trigger shot tomorrow as well. AS long as things have progressed as they should be... I am kind of nervous! But hopefully everything will turn out good! Our mini vacay was good and much needed!

welcome hkateS
jst like dolphin1204 said its no the easy journey we had all hoped for
i hope everything goes ok for u at the doctors when u go and get some answers and help

hey dolphin1204
glad to here you enjoyed your mini vacation
hope everything goes ok at your appointment keep us posted :)

baby dust :)

Appointment went ok on Tuesday. I wasn't ready for the shot, which I knew I wouldn't be cause clomid makes me ovulate later. So I have another appointment tomorrow for an ultrasound and bloodwork. So hopefully I will be ready for it then. Than O day should be Sat or Sun! I am glad it is on a weekend this time as it is more relaxing to get down to business! They are still not 100% sure on the PCOS. I don't have a lot of the symptoms, but she said that I may just have it under really good control right now. So we shall see once they run a few more tests.

I'm just playing the waiting game to O. I have been temping this time and they have ranged form 96.9-97.7 so we will see what happens. I shouldn't O until sometime next week.

Glad your doc visit went ok dolphin. Good luck at your next one!

Baby Dust!

P.S. On a side note, I have been thinking about adoption a lot lately. Not in the sense that we can't have children, but just in the sense of giving a child a loving home. I don't know if I have been thinking about it more because I am getting stressed about month after month of no results or that God is leading my husband and I do adopt. I have been praying about it.

Hi everyone. This is my first post here. My DH and I have been actively TTC#1 for 14 cycles now. We had two miscarriages last year. The last pregnancy I had in August, I was over the moon. So excited, I knew in my heart that this would be it. But God had other plans. After the 6 week mark, I started bleeding. Went to ER and the doctor told me I had a Subchorionic bleed. But they did an ultrasound and baby looked okay. Had another ultrasound three days later, and my regular OB/GYN said that the baby looked perfectly fine. Well, a week later, that same doctor told me that my miracle baby had stopped growing and I would eventually miscarry. I'm not sure if my bicornuate (heart-shaped) uterus is to blame for the miscarriage. I needed to take Misoprostol to help the miscarriage proceed. I lost my baby in October. When I passed the sac and the cord, that was the worst thing I had to endure in my lifetime.

Months prior to this pregnancy, I found out I had two instances of skin cancer. I had surgery in the summer of 2011 to remove the Melanoma from my face and back of my leg.

DH and I were simply devastated about losing our baby, to say the least. Every cycle that passes is just torture for me. Everywhere I look, I see pregnant women. I see parents with multiple children. I am angry at God and I question WHY the Lord allows some parents to have more than one child, while other couples struggle to have just one baby. Why some women are into drugs and booze yet have healthy pregnancies, and for women like me, who don't smoke or drink, women like me who take prenatal vitamins 'just in case', never have healthy pregnancies at all. I see baby clothes and toys and furniture that I will never be able to own. And every cycle that passes, I get more and more down on myself.

We can't afford fertility testing, and we have no health insurance because we can't afford that either. I am a stay-at-home wife due to anxiety disorder, and DH works two jobs just so we can stay afloat. We are financially in the negative each month. We also have three angel babies in Heaven.

God bless you all and remember that you aren't alone.

baby dust to you all :))

I'm a high school science teacher in an inner city school. Wehave girls at school who are pregnant and I am reminded everyday how unfair life can be.

Welcome erica. I too suffered a miscarriage in October. I have a friend who is pregnant and i would have been 3 weeks behind her. I am constantly reminded every week at church that she is pregnant and i no longer am. I do know that God has a plan that is better than I could ever imagine. It is just hard waiting and wondering what that plan is. We just have to keep praying and follow the Lord.

Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge him,  and he will direct your path.

P.S. read the book called "Heaven is For Real" if you have not already. It is a great book and I recommend it to anyone who has gone through a miscarriage. There is a special chapter that brought me to tears.

Welcome Erica and sorry to hear of your troubles. I suffered an ectopic in November and a miscarriage in July. Nothing has worked for us since.

I too would have been due a few weeks behind a friend of mine mrsbauer. I am constantly seeing all the cute things she is doing for her baby and it makes my heart hurt. Thanks for your words and thoughts about following the lord. I used to pray and attend church regularly but have found my self moving away in the last few years. I think it is time I go back.

AFM not too confident about this cycle.. Ovidriel is a trigger shot that I was supposed to take just prior to ovulation, but I didn't end up taking it cause I had a natural lh surge last Thursday. So bascially missed the chance to take it. The biggest follicle I had was 14mm which didn't grow from day 11 to ovulation on day 14 yesterday. I had 6 total follicles all small. So my chances are really low... not sure what will happen in the next few weeks but I will be praying any way!
