Good morning,

Not much going on here... CD6

Good luck to everyone!

PCOS still kicking my arse! I see the RE next friday to see how the PCOS is going. Today is CD40... Last cycle was 55 days. So who knows.

Not much to report. I had bleeding for 14 days as part of the miscarrige. I got my blood drawn last week and I was still way too pregnant. My blood draw yesterday shows I am technically still pregnant but very low. So, they are making me come back next week because they have to see if less than 5 and see that my body is 100% not pregnant.

So, we are not really trying yet as I don't even know what my body will do and when I will ovulate or anything. We just decided we will have fun until August and no cycle charting or anything. We go on a trip in July so we are just focused on that.

Good luck to everyone TTC!

No luck here I'm on CD 6.

Haven't posted in a few weeks as we were in a holding pattern.  Started the Nuvaring a little of 2 weeks ago to get ready for our first IVF cycle.  That comes out next Tuesday and I have my suppression check on Wednesday.  If all is ok at that appt, start my stim shots the Sunday after.  I am so scared!!!!  All the IVF'ers of this board have given me so much hope.  I guess I am technically still TTC, just not in the old fashioned way although we were given a schedule as to when we need to BD before my egg retreival.  

Baby dust to everyone and prayers for all those these past few weeks who have had MC.  

Anita C 

Good luck everyone!!

Last round of clomid didn't O. So today is my last day of Provera to get AF going. Then Dr said to up dose to 100MG of Clomid, and to try that for a few months. I am planning on getting in to an RE but will do Clomid until I can I guess.

Hello,

I'm new to this message board.  Not to OH though.  Today is my 3rd anniversary of my surgery.  I have lost a total of 160 lbs.  Apparently I have gained 10 lbs of it back, but 150 lbs gone forever isn't bad at all.

On the TTC note - TTC for 11 years.  1 miscarriage after 4 weeks 8/05; 1 IUI - 4/29/09 BFN; 5/31 - BFN, now I am starting Clomid again today to prepare for IUI number 3.  I really hope it happens this time. 

Husband and I both really want our first miracle.  It almost seems like its fantasy island for us.

Has anyone had success after 11 years of trying - I am almost 39 years old too.  Hoping for the dream...Through me a rope, please.

I had three IUI's in a row and got pregnant. The baby lost its heartbeat at 8 1/2 weeks this month. We will try IUI again in August whenever my cycle comes!

I  wish you much success! I am hoping IUI #3 is successful for you and you get a BFP.
