Bella I really really hope that your body is letting you in on a little secret. Finger crossed!
When is the first day you plan to test? So cautiously optimistic for you.
DCgator - you are such a nice supportive presence on this board... thanks for the encouragement. Dust coming your way. Enjoy yourself in NYC.

You are all so sweet! I am still feeling crampy/pulling/twingy...since about noon today with no stopping. Not sure what is up with that...I guess we''ll see. DH and my BFF are sick, so we aren''t going to go up to Syracuse to see my BFF
so I think I am just going to start POAS tomorrow and use up all the cheap Amazon tests I have.
I ate a pint of Ben and Jerry''s Peanut Brittle ice cream last night, and am now throwing all of my POAS will power out the window as well

morning
I''ve been having a wee break from the ttc madness for a few days to get my head right and well its nearly there. Thanks Catlover for your kind words and to all of you for your kind words and concern they mean a lot.
Bella honey, I really hope this is your month and that you get that 2nd line. Just ''keep the heid'' as they say here in Scotland and don''t drive yourself batty with the 2ww craziness. And don''t poas too early for fear of disappointment.
Will check back soon......
Have a good day everyone.

Awww...thanks.
Unfortunately, this month is not it for me
I''ve been thinking about you too.
I have my fingers crossed that you''ll spring the good news on us soon.
I do have a FB account. That would be me w/ my little girl w/ 2 pigtails.
Bella
I have a good feeling for you this month too.
Lots of luck in the coming days.
Hope you''ll be the 7th for the month.
If not, the first for the month of June.
Lily
Any news?
I hope you get the answer this weekend.
DC
Sorry about the fleeting BFP.
Maybe June would be our month huh?
Well
Congrats and lots of sticky dust to you.
Ryan
So happy to hear that your new cycle started!
Lots of dust to you this cycle.

So sorry to hear your crappy experience w/ Kaiser.
I feel like it''s my fault promoting them w/ my stellar experience w/ them.
They did change their routines from before, but I''m still getting the same treatment. The nurses and doctors were so accomodating and expedites my treatments. My doctor even called me personally several times trying to squeeze me in the earliest time possible for my D&C for my missed miscarriage.
I guess not all Kaiser all the same. I''m getting treatment in the harbor city branch btw. I hope that''s all the hoops they''ll make you go through and it''ll be fast from here on out.

Well, I don''t mean to be a debbie downer right now as I am super excited for all of you ladies here and I hope everyones 2WW goes well. This AM I woke up and just didn''t "feel" pregnant anymore, no symptoms etc.
Freak that I am I POAS, cause I have some left over and there it was "Not pregnant" WTH???
I know that I was because I took like 8 pregnancy tests, all different brands, because I was in such shock when it happened.
I started having some cramping the PM, and now I''ve got some light spotting.
I''m holding out hope, but I''m thinking that something just didn''t "stick" this time around. I''ve just got a gut feeling about it. It sucks because DH is still away (he wasy away when I found out, and now this) and I was just starting to get used to the idea of being pregnant. Perhaps this is all a weird fluke, but, what is meant to be is meant to be, and if I do end up losing it, we can always try again soon.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Good luck to the rest of you!!!!!

Oh wellinism, I am so sorry. Do you have anyone you can call so they can be with you right now? Do you think the test was wrong? It can be normal to have the symptoms come and go. And spotting can be normal. I know this is very frightening and you must feel terrible right now. Sending you all my prayers right now. I hope things are OK.
Bliss- Thanks so much for your kind words and I appreciate the thoughts. I've spoken to one of my friends and my mom, and I did talk to my DH a few minutes ago. I don't know what is going on with the test, but whatever will happen will happen. I really don't think that this test was wrong. It's just a feeling I have in my gut that this one wasn't meant to be. I hope that I'm wrong, I just think that my hcg levels are decreasing and it didn't stick for whatever reason. I think that because it was such a fluke that we got pregnant (I O'd on CD 19 according to FF, and we only BD once on CD 14) that there was just something wrong there.
My DH is being very supportive (as much as he can be over the phone) and once I talk to my doctor (of course it has it be a holiday weekend, everything like this always happens to me over the weekends!) and maybe I can get in for a blood test to check the levels, or maybe not, if I end up having a full blown period. I don't know if it would be considered a period or a miscarriage...it might have been a chemical pregnancy that lasted for a while before my body realized that something wasn't right.If it is considered a period, unless my doctor says otherwise, we will get right back on the TCC bandwagon. Well, we weren't really on it before (this was a surprise), but we'll get on it again. I know that I can get pregnant so that is something positive to focus on and get going for real.
I hope that this is all a big fat oopsie and I'm overreacting, maybe my urine was super diluted because I've been drinking water like a crazy person, and the super light spotting I'm having is late implanation bleeding, but I'm not going to grasp at straws. I'd rather deal with the situation face on and go forward.
After reading how many of the ladies on here had miscarraiges and other such problems and are now pregnant and doing well, it really gives me hope and strength.
Just trying to stay postivie no matter what the outcome is!

Oh Wellinsm, I am sending you huge hugs. Since you want to stay positive, I just want to agree with you that if things aren't meant to be... it is a good sign that you are getting a negative HPT. One of the hardest things for me was to wait until my levels went below 5 (or a BFN). This hopefully means (only if things aren't meant to be) that you will be able to try right away. And the recovery period is much easier on your body if it's this early on. ((HUGS))
It's hard to say right now what's going on... maybe it is just a fluke test. I am hoping and praying that it is. But either way, you WILL have a beautiful pregnancy and be able to hold your baby one day soon. It *will* happen, if not this time then the next time. Of course I am hoping that this pregnancy is OK. I'm so sorry. I wish I could say more. This is such a hard road and I wish fewer women had to experience such heartbreak.

wellinsm-I am so so sorry you are having to deal with this
and I hope everything works out. Truly a sucky situation, I hope your DH gets home soon!
Bella, I so hope your symptoms are the real deal! I would warn you not to read into things too much, but HOU warned me and I know I didnt listen
lol, I hope Tuesday brings you a BFP!
Po, I hope you are well! Hang in there, lady.
lili I LOVE your av. So much.
Today is CD 2
Really bummed out, Instead preseed AND pineapple. Blah. Just 2 more months left and then TTC break. We went to my cousins house for a party last night, and there were 4 babies there. Hers is 8 weeks and I LOVE HER. One of my cousins friends kept saying how good I am with the baby and called me the baby whisperer. She has a newborn too, so I was flattered but also sad
Just have to believe that my time is coming!

Micska, I know, it can be hard. I nannied for a long time and get called the baby whisperer by everyone. All my friends want me to babysit, and I do, but sometimes it amkes me sad
Today I feel no symptoms, except I passed out for a 3 hour nap this morning (I think DH being sick is keeping me up plus I had a stressful week at work). So now I am like, did I imagine everything
Who knows...TTC is so mysterious sometimes.
Hugs to you all and I can''t wait to see who will be BFPs for June

Lili - please don''t feel guilty about my circumstance. It is NOT YOUR FAULT! I would have switched to Kaiser anyway, because the coverage was better than what I formerly had at Blue Cross. It was just teh dang Rubella immunity that got me in a bind. However, everything happens for a reason - and honestly, I couldn''t imagine myself pregnant right now. I''ve been saving some kitties outside, and I wouldn''t have been able to dedicate so much time to them if I were mid-pregnancy. While getting the run around has been annoying, everything will happen when it is supposed to. I appreciate your concern and am thrilled that you are getting excellent care. Truly.

this must be an excrutiating long weekend for you. it could go either way. if you are not pregnant any more, at least you can start TTCing right away. and yes, you are absolutely right in your positive thinking that you know you can get pregnant and that is already a humungous step in the right direction. most women who miscarry go on to have a normal pregnancy. unfortunately if you google it, most of the posts will be from women who have repeated miscarriages so it can get you down, but that''s just because people tend to share bad news more than good news. we are all here for you, if that is at all a little reassurance.

Thanks noelwr. Bliss and Miscka- I appreciate it.
However, it was not meant to be this month. I started bleeding last night. It was a long night and I''m glad it''s over. I wasn''t able to sleep at all, but onwards and upwards. I will call my doctor first thing Tuesday AM. I''m assuming that they are going to want to see me to check everything, however, I''m glad that it occured so early, rather than later and having to go through a D&C or any of the other options. I''m super emotional right now, but I have super supportive friends (and support here too!) so I''ll be OK. I''ve had my crying jags here and there, but trying to stay positive (as much as i can) especially since DH is gone right now.
I''ll ask my doctor for sure, but I think that because this was so early in the pregnancy that this can count as a "period" and I won''t have to wait until I get another visit from AF to start trying. I''ll have to talk to my DH, but I think that we might want to get back on the bandwagon. I wish I knew the reasons why, but I know that really is never the case. As long as my doctor says it is OK, I''m feeling right now like mayb we should go for it, but I''ll give my emotions some time to regulate before making any big decisions.
Thanks to you all for your support!

wellinsm - even though the whole situation sucks, at least you have some "closure". I was told, even if you are further along, if you naturally miscarry, it is ok to start TTC right away because your body is already naturally finding its balance. after a d&c you have to wait one cycle because you kind of "forced it", if that makes sense, and it takes a while for the body to catch up. of course only you, with your dr''s advice, can decide when will be right for you.

Hola chicas. Apologies for being AWOL for so long. A combination of family health issues, several out-of-town trips, and a new volunteering role has kept me busy and distracted from obsessing about TTC. May is our first month of no longer 'pulling-and-praying' so we'll see what comes out of it.
I'm currently on CD18 and what I think might be DPO 1 but I'll know for sure in a couple of days.
wellinsm, I was very sorry to read about your miscarriage. I hope you're taking care.
To all the newcomers,
. I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
May appears to have been a good month for this thread. Let's hope the trend continues into June.

Hello Ladies!
Thanks for all of the thoughts. They must have worked because I am feeling mucher better today (even though i did take the day off of work today). I called my doctor this AM and spoke to his med assistant. When I told her what had happened, she said, "Oh, OK", nothing else. Apparently, I do not even need to be seen??? I am quite surprised about this, as I thought they would have me at the very least come in for a blood test or something. Now, I realize that it was quite early on (5 weeks), and everything occured naturally, but I do have some questions for the doctor, who apparently is not in today anyways. She said that she would leave a message to let him know what happened.
So then I told her that I had some questions about everything, like how long should I wait to TTC, anything I should watch for or do this time around to take extra precautions so this doesn''t occur again. She said, that they normally say to wait 3 cycles before trying again. WHAT??? You don''t even want to see me, it isn''t a big deal medically I guess, and if I hadn''t taken an early pregnancy test I wouldn''t have even known that I was pregnant and would have simply thought I had a bad period this month, and wouldn''t have waitied to try again.
I decided to keep the appointment that I had for next week Monday to ask my questions directly to the doctor, but now I''m irritated. When I called the on-call doctor on Sat. AM before I started to bleed, I was dismissed and treated with a huge amount of attitude, and now this. I have been with this medical practice since I was 18 (I''m 32 now), and I really like my doctor, but if this is how I''m going to be treated by other staff, I don''t know if I want to continue going there. I''ll wait and see what my doctor says next week Monday (aghhh so far away!), but I can tell you unless he can give me a solid medical reason for waiting 3 cycles, I am not going to wait 3 cycles.
I could see waiting if I had to have a D&C, or even if I was further along, but in my research (and granted I''m not a medical professional, so what do I know) I don''t want to wait 3 cycles. especially since they don''t seem to think it was a big deal medically, and if I hadn''t asked that specific question, would anyone there even have told me that?
I''m just beyond frustrated right now. But, at least it is beautiful day outside, and I''m not at work, so I''m going to enjoy my extra day off.

Wellinsm - I''m so sorry for your loss. So many of us have been through the same thing. As sad as it is, it is so much better for you that it happened naturally and that it happpened early. I''m sorry that you are dealing with such insensitivity from your doctor''s office. That certainly doesn''t help at all.
With respect to waiting, my RE told me that we could start again as soon as we were ready emotionally. If it had happened naturally, they would have treated the first day of bleeding as cycle day one and would have started treatment that very cycle!!! Because I had to have a D&C, I had to wait for my next natural cycle to begin. We were ready emotionally, so we started again that cycle.
I know you will not know the cause of your miscarriage, but rest assured, chances are it was caused by a chromosomal abnormality. Most miscarriages are caused by chromosomal abnormalities. The only good thing about having had a D&C, was that I was able to have genetic testing, which determined that a chromosome error was the cause of my miscarriage. I found this immensely helpful toward understanding what happened and moving forward quickly.
Ultimately, it is up to you and your DH re: how long you wish to wait. I think doctors commonly suggest 3 months because it is assumed, that on average, this is how long it will take a couple to deal with their loss. I am not aware of a medical reason for a 3 month wait, but then again, I am not a doctor!! I think you should meet with your doctor as planned, explain to him that you feel ready to move forward, and press him for a reason to wait.
I hope you find comfort in reading through the m/c thread and seeing that many of us who were there are now expecting or are on their way to getting there SOON!

Hey ladies,
I hope you all enjoyed your long weekends (at least for those of us in the US). Now, we only have 4 days left in the week, woohoo!
Bella: So, how did it go this morning? I am on pins and needles and hoping that this month will be it for you! Good luck and LOTS of sticky dust for you!
Ryan Claire: How is the Clomid treating you so far? Any side effects or are you good to go? I really hope that it does the trick for you and that June will be a great month for both of us!
Wellism: I am so very sorry to hear about all that happened. It sounds like you were able to gather some good friend support and I''m sure your husband will be back soon to give you more support as well. I think the bright side of this awful experience is that you can in fact get KU, so that''s definitely a positve. And like other ladies said, you should be able to get right back to it, if you feel like it. I am sending you an extra large ((((HUG)))). Btw, I just saw your post from this morning. I would be fuming mad too
. I would definitely keep your appt with your OB for next week and I would explain to your Dr. how you feel that you were dimissed and your concerns not taken seriously. If your Dr. brushes it off, it may be time for a new OB. If he seems geniunely concerned, I would hang around for a bit longer. Sorry for that insult to injury for your OB''s office, but hopefully it will never happen again.
Lili: I really hope June is our month too! Fingers crossed...
Miscka: Sorry that May didn''t work out for you either. But, if you are anything like me, you work better under pressure, so maybe you body just wanted to get closer to the "deadline" before kicking its butt into gear
. I know being around babies can be a real bummer, but I just tell myself that maybe it will get my body thinking and acting like a future mommy
. Hang in there my dear and hopefully it won''t be too much longer for you.
CDNinNYC: It''s nice to see you back again. Sorry for any health/family issues going on, but hoepfully they have worked themselves out. I wish you lots of sticky dust if this is indeed the start of your 2WW! Cheers to a prolific June indeed!

Well, I am CD11, and having a light fade in on my OPK''s and an elevation in my temp, so I am thinking that I will have my drop then my sustained spike in temp and my positve OPK and O in the next 2 or 3 days. I started my BD''ing marathon last night, and I am hoping that we can keep it up for the next couple days, and get that "high" probablility on FF (good idea Bella
). I tried a small amount of the preseed last night. I didn''t really notice too much of a difference, but I guess that''s a good think since we didn''t have any hot dog in the hallway epidoes, lol. Otherwise, I am trying to stay relaxed and think happy thoughts...
.
I wish all you ladies luck in your 2WW and BD''ing and look forward to a great June!
I hope you all enjoyed your long weekends (at least for those of us in the US). Now, we only have 4 days left in the week, woohoo!
Bella: So, how did it go this morning? I am on pins and needles and hoping that this month will be it for you! Good luck and LOTS of sticky dust for you!
Ryan Claire: How is the Clomid treating you so far? Any side effects or are you good to go? I really hope that it does the trick for you and that June will be a great month for both of us!
Wellism: I am so very sorry to hear about all that happened. It sounds like you were able to gather some good friend support and I''m sure your husband will be back soon to give you more support as well. I think the bright side of this awful experience is that you can in fact get KU, so that''s definitely a positve. And like other ladies said, you should be able to get right back to it, if you feel like it. I am sending you an extra large ((((HUG)))). Btw, I just saw your post from this morning. I would be fuming mad too

Mornng ladies!
Bella - I really hope this is your month!! Sorry for the BFN...did you POAS this morning??
Dcgator - thanks for the welcome! How was your trip to NYC?
Wellinsm - I''m so sorry about your M/C. I have never been through that, but I''m sure it is very difficult to deal with and I''m sure you do have a ton of questions. I hope you get those answered when you see your doc next Monday. And I''d be PO''d if I was dismissed as well. I''m sure dealing with M/C are common to those working in a gyn office, but it is still devestating to the woman experiencing it and should not be dismissed.
I''m so sorry they did that to you.
Miscka - Sorry that AF showed up. I know how it is when everyone around you has babies!!! Your time is coming!!
CDNinNYC -
back at ya!
KeepingtheFaith - Yay for CD 1!
Hola to LAJennifer, Lili, Ryan Claire, Smurfy, PO, Armandine, Brighlight and anyone else I may have missed
______________________________________________________
Today is CD 7 for me. I will start using OPKs on CD 11 since I''ve been ovulating between CD 13 -17. Question though, when should we BD once I get a + OPK? That day? The next day? We really aren''t an ''everyday'' couple. 2 days in a row (maybe 3) is probably going to be a max for us. I''m just trying to make sure we time things as close as possible. Also what part of the day should I use the OPK? I just don''t know if I can get a cup into the bathroom with me at work, lol. I''ve got to walk past a lot of desks to get to the ladies room. Is it ok once I get home? Any advice is appreciated!

KTF-Yay for CD1!!!! It''s weird how excited you now get to actually get AF, because of the possibilities that it means
dcgator- I have clamed down now, and I canceled the appointment for next week Monday. I figured, what ishe going to say anyways? He is supposed to call me tomorrow when he gets in, so I''ll just talk to him over the phone.

When I called back and got the med assistant she was much nicer this time around. She asked if I was going to wait the 3 cycles and I said no. Then she asked if I was going to wait 2 cycles and I said no. She said I should wait at least 1 cycle to ensurethat things go back to normal, but that if I wanted she could check with another doctor to be sure....if you''re not sure...don''t say! I told her I was planning on waiting for at least 1 cycle anyways. I have decided that I don''t think that I would be ready in about 2 weeks to start trying.
This experience has made me realize that I truly do want to be a mother and am excited to be one. It also woke my DH husband up as well. At first he was like me, very surprised and shocked, but was starting to look forward to it and then BAM! I think a month of waiting and getting ready will do us both some good. I also want another month to track my luteal phase. It seems to be on the "shorter" side as I appear to ovulate late (CD 19 or so), and I have anywhere from a 28 to 31 day cycle (with a wonky 34 day cycle thrown in). I think I might take 50mil of vitamin B6 this month to see if it helps any. I don''t want to go overboard on the B6, but a little extra couldn''t hurt anything. I''ll ask my doctor whenhe calls tomorrow. If he doesn''t call, I will be calling him
I wasn''t able to temp this AM as I didn''t sleep well at all and didn''t have 3 hours of uninterrupted sleep to temp, but here I am now at CD4. Hopefully I will ovulate this month on time and be able to get to business in July. This does give me time to buy some Pre-Seed over the internet. When I looked it is only soldhere at one of the hospital pharmacys. It is easier to buyit online. Also- where have some of you ladies bought OPK and pregnancy tests online? I like the OPK strips I am using now as they seem very easy to read (from CVS) but I think it would be cheaper to buy them online. Same with the pregnancy tests, that got expensive last month!!!! Any suggestions?
I am going to enjoy the 80 degree day (can''t complain about that in WI), my day off from students (just wasn''t in the mood to deal with the screaming and tantrums today, plus since it is the end of the year they are all a little batty and I''ve had to restrain kids all last week and I''m not in the mood) and plant more flowers that I wentout and bought this AM!

About to go into a mtg, but a quick drive by...10 DPO and BFN this morning
...so I am going to test again on Thursday or Friday...Hopefully I''ll know one way or another by Saturday and it will either be BFP or CD 1. I had more cramps yesterday, so unusual, but today I feel fine
I think my body likes messing with me...
