Aa
carry on from "still waiting"
the last one was getting long so im starting a new one.
to update you all. not much to see on the test this morning. As I said, I think im looking too hard!
I BD with DH and there was more blood than just spotting but still brown and not anything like AF. but since then nothing much to show at all. I am actually getting rather sore in my lower abdomen, not like the usually pain I feel. Im trying not to worry about it, but its hard not to.
Erica- have you found in your findings anything on implantation bleeding and BDing? maybe what I saw after BDing is what was spotting a tiny bit on my liners, but not enough to for all of it to come out. sorry TMI!

Let me know how the scope goes. You're right, you shouldn't be having consistent pain. I agree that it warrants further investigation. Isn't that always the way?! We got preg. with Lily using b/c (plus I was told it would be v. unlikely that I could get preg.) and now that we're trying it's almost impossible to get preg!! arrgh!! Good luck sweetie! Keep us updated!
i have AF for sure. its heavy now. I actually phoned the nurse and am waiting to hear back for an appointment to have the scope done. the nagging pain I always have is still there. i figure while im not going to OPK this month, like the dr told me not to, I may as well get the scope over and done with. I know the nagging pain isnt going to go. I was lifting heavy boxes down form a top shelf this morning and that shouldn't hurt even though i have AF. I think ive just been hoping it will go but it not and i think it needs more investigation to put my mind at ease of find whats wrong.
when i wasnt on birth control and not trying to get preggers my cycle was always regular. getting preggers and having a miscarriage really messes things up!!!!

nunu-- are you still cramping? did AF fully arrive? It is possible to bleed during early preg. after BDing or med. exams..
mikaleen-- I would test again in the next couple of days if I were you!! But I am a poas addict..lol! It took me until CD48 before I got AF (2nd AF, 1st real cycle since m./c) and I know how hard it is to be so irregular! I really hope you get an answer one way or the other soon :) Here's hoping it's a BFP! Good Luck!
nunu-- I completely understand your frustration about irregular cycles!! How do you know when you're going to O, when you should do some extra BDing and such. I never knew it would be so hard in all manners to get preg. again after m/c. Good luck to you this month! (DH and I are taking it easy this month) :) Keep me posted on how you're doing :)

I'm sorry nunu. I was pulling for all of you who had no definate answers either way. I am CD 35 with a bfn on day 33. I am waiting now for AF or to test again. Sure wish I knew. One thing for sure is that so many of us are having such a hard time b/c we're all having such irregular cycles after m/c. Here's to going back to normal and knowing when to BD and when to test!
nunu - I sent you the message before I read this and knew you were thinking about trying Clomid. Would you try to see if you could start at this cycle? But I'll for sure give you full details of all my experience with it including the effects on OPK's.
I had also mentioned Femara in the other post. This is the generic form of Letrozole. Here are the details on I have on that:
"Letrozole is a newer oral fertility medication. It works in the ovary to decrease the amount of the hormone Estrogen that is produced. This decrease of Estrogen is sensed by the Pituitary Gland in the brain and it responds by producing more of the hormone FSH. Because of the increased levels of FSH, the ovary is able to produce more than one egg. This incredases the chance of pregnancy. Because Letrozole is cleared from the body more rapidly than Clomid, there may be a better uterine lining produced and better cervical mucous.
Letrozole was intitially used as a medication to prevent recurrence of breast cancer. Many breast cancerrs are sensitive to Estrogen and by decreasing the levl of that hormone in the blood, it might prevent the cancer from spreading. While studying Letrozole in breast cancer patients, it was discovered that the woemn were producing multiple eggs. While Letr4ozole is not approved as a fertility medication, it appears to work bettter than Clomid and has fewer side-effects. Similar to Clomid, this will result in ovuatlion 5-10 days after the last pill is taken. Letrozole is dispensed in 2.5 mg tablets . . "
So it appears that when you stop your last Clomid (or femara) dose that O soon follows. If we went through the RE, we would get a trigger shot that would induce O and therefore know when to BD. Since I think we are going the Clomid route, I'm going to use the OPK, but still BD every other day for the window of ovulation. I hope this helps.
The last thought I had is that since you do have a problem with cycsts, I don't know how much the Clomid would effect that, if it would make it better or worse? But i would for sure ask your dr about that.

kgokgo- if my DH sees a line then there is a line. thats why i got my hopes up so high because he could see a line as well. im tempted to get the scope done just to make sure noting is wrong in there. i cant say that the pain I have been feeling all these months is as bad though.
Dani- to be honest I cant say the line is gray or blue. DH thought they were a faint pink but i couldn't tell. the lines are very obvious in the right light.
I was just reading up on clomid. they say to start either CD 3-7 or 5-9. I cant decide if i should ask the dr for a script. any thought?

Nunu! I am so sorry! I really thought this was it for you! I hope you are doing OK with everything. I do have a question though, I was reading up on the $ store tests and some said they could see a faint line, but it wasn't a pink faint line, and that was the difference...they said any faint pink line was a positive, but gray or blue may have just been an evaporation line. I am just wondering so no one else has to go through what you did.
I guess it would be so hard not to OPK and try bedding, but maybe if you skipped even a month your stress level will go down and mayble that will help :)

So sorry about af. Its so weird because the same thing happened to me 2 wks ago. I definitely saw lines and dh (he is as pessimistic as they come) saw them too. AF came 4 days late with the worst cramps and I`m still cramping. I hope your situation is not the same as mine and you can start bd`ing soon. We have decided to find out whats wrong with me before we continue to tcc. Having said that, we had unprotected intercourse (sorry tmi) this morning but I`m going to arrange to see the DR tomorrow coz the pain is not getting any better.
Here`s to lots of bfps by the end of this month.

the last time I went to the dr he told me not to test for anything (not even OPK) the next few months. how can i even try and time BDing when ill never know how long my cycle is going to me. between 25 and 31 days now.
he did say that in March he will feel ok giving me clomid. how does that work with timing O? do you still have to OPK or do you take it for so long and when you stop it causes O to happen?

Now I'm so bummed for both of you :( I hope this year does bring all of us our little bundles of joy! We are all going to get the BFP's we deserve soon. SSBD all around!! you both need some *BIG HUGS*
Oh nunu! I'm so sorry! I know exactly how you feel!! AF came last night for me. :( I really hope you get your BFP soon!! (hopefully x2) Here's hoping for a baby filled 2009 :)
