Congrats to those who have had BFPs!
Storm - was so excited for you when reading through, and really am so gutted and sorry that you have had to go through that again! x hugs x Really hope that they discover what's causing you to have chem pregs and can fix it.
I remember the positive shades - may they live on!!
AFM - roughly 5DPO. Not having high hopes bout this cycle - but I am pleased that I had more EWCM than in recent months, and timed BD quite well I think. So you never know I guess! WILL NOT test till 14DPO this time (and it's more than likely that I won't make it there anyway) so no wasting tests this month!
I'm going to buy more vitex, etc. As well as OPKs for the coming months. Think we will step it up again in December to try for a Spring baby (like me )

Oh Dunson sorry about AF "cheers" to a wine on a Friday then Rach nice to see you in here (even though I am no longer actually in the TWW)GL with testing - and holding out till 14 DPO Vitex has really helped my cycles so I recommend it. Had my doc appt, and she is sending me for bloods and also referring me to a specialist so it makes me feel a bit better about this whole TTC thing knowing that it's being looked in to. She had actually been to a conference on infertility 2 weeks ago and has two new things that they can run bloods on. SO I will be giving alot of blood by the sounds of it Hope you all have a nice Friday

Storm, I am so glad they are getting the ball rolling for you. Hopefully you will have some answers soon. I am so amazed at the things that can be done nowadays to help ladies conceive.
AFM tomorrow is ovulation day according to my dates. I am getting a few sharp twinges, the same as last week and we have been casually BDing it this week. DH doesn't want to get too serious about the BDing right now as it happened so easily the first time. However, I think he might be taking things for granted and that the first conception was just a fluke. I guess we will wait and see. What it does mean is low stress, no pressure, and a happy relationship so that's got to be a good thing.

Hi Rach!! *Waves* Storm - so good that you have a proactive doctor who is getting things sorted for you! Good luck Tan - hope this is the month for you! AFM, CD28, no ov yet. I've had some sharp spikes which I've never had before and a sort of bloated feeling but no actual stable temp rise. Went to see the naturopath this morning and she was disappointed it's taking so long for ov but is sending me for blood tests to check my thyroid in case that is playing a role. I've also just realised that it was two cycles ago that I didn't ov till CD33, so maybe one of my ovaries is just REALLY slow in releasing eggs? I am so sick of all the questions and no answers though!

Epic - I see you have been TTC now for nearly a year? Does that mean that if nothing has happened by November that you will be able to seek some help?

Hi all, I haven't been on in a few days as we've been flat out organizing my BIL's flights etc. he arrived Tues night (the night before I was due to ovulate) and I sooo wanted to try lol but we want to wait till the end of oct as I have dental work happening on Monday and I'd rather not use an xray-ed, antibiotic'd wee egg. So I am spending the next few weeks continuing to eat well and take all my supplements & get super dooper ready for this next try. I'm so stoked for all of you with the BFP's! Why a way to start the new thread. But storm, I'm so sorry to hear your didn't work out. It's great to hear your doctor is finally doing something about it. If you don't like your specialist, then my naturopath is the absolute best and she concentrates solely on fertility / infertility / miscarriage. I've booked in for a special fertility treatment called a lipiodol flush and when I spoke to both the nurses at Auckland gynecology & at Auckland radiology and they asked who had referred me both said that Loula was amazing and that they refer patients to her all the time. So I reckon if the real medical establishment people recommend her she must be really good! So I look forward to properly being in the TWW with you all in a few weeks!

So still spotting - still waiting for AF to arrive- took a big step for me and have bought some ovulation tests online and have also gone to health store to get some Vitex and B6- I know there are lots of info on this site about this but to save me time does anyone mind upskilling me on how much and when you take the supplements and if I have 35 dayish cycle when should I start doing the OV tests?
Thanks heaps
Sorry will read back over previous posts soon- great to hear all the plans Pepi

Yaye Pepi for having your BIL here and a nice plan in place. Dunson it took me at least 2 or 3 cycles of vitex and B6 before it finally lowered my cycles from 39/39 days to 33 :-) I take vitex 3x a day from CD1 until OV. only last month I ovd earlier than CD22 though. I go by my EWCM as when to take OPKs as that generally gives me a +ve OPK the same day or within a couple days. Good luck with it :-) Epic! So Annoyed for you that OV is all over the place, grrrrr why can't this TTC thing be easier! Positive shades

Gah that damn TWW really sucks. I am 10DPO today and next week can't come fast enough for me. I will try and wait it out though, rather then test. My period should be here anytime between Tuesday and Thursday.
Good luck to all others that are nearly at the end of the TWW

Here we go again, another baby on it's way!

Aaand the TWW is on! According to my dates I am 1DPO so a bit of a ways to go. Luckily I am on holiday and off to Wellington for a couple of days. Have things booked for the end of the week and then back to work the next week so hoping that time will fly.I am going to try and wait to test until a few days after AF is due (yeah right!) because I'm not sure how regular my cycle will be after M/C and don't want to get my hopes up only to have it arrive a bit late. Anyway, that's my plan for now!

GL with your up coming testing ladies AFM - def not in the TWW yet, but thought I would let you know some interesting info my doc has told me. She called today to say my form for bloods are ready to pick up as she wanted to get her notes from her fertility conference she has just been to. So she is now also testing both DH and I for genetic chromosomes.... see if there is something there causing me to MC, and also said there is now strong evidence that caffeine can really cut your chances of conceiving (as I finish the last of my coffee LOL) one cup of "coffee shop" coffee is pretty much the daily limit as most coffee shops have such high caffeine coffee that's it and she recommend that while it's "ok" for one of them a day, that I shouldn't have it daily. Home made coffee (instant/sachets)is different as not as much caffeine (I have one of the sachet coffees a day - think I will even cut that out!) Also, there is now research to show that if you were to conceive within 3-6 months of giving birth, your chances of MC are higher! There isn't any research to say if the same goes with having a MC then conceiving 3-6 months after, but it's recommended that you do wait, so she has said while her advice has always been, just keep trying, she is now suggesting that I wait! I really don't want to and wonder if that is true cause I had a MC in January and it still took 6 months to get preg again and then another MC anyway but she only said to think about it. And last of all, asked if I had Coeliac Disease or if anyone in my family has it as that can be a big factor. Sorry for the long post - now back to Monday work!

Hey everyone, I feel a little bit bad for hiding this from most of you but.....I got my BFP 2 weeks ago! I was waiting until my first scan to tell people, and since I know there a people I know in 'real life' here on OH Baby, I didn't quite want to spread the word. I was so anxious when I got my BFP and all I could think about was going through a miscarriage again, so yeah just nervous to put it out there! The good news is I feel like absolute crap! Sooo different to the last pregnancy. I will take this morning sickness and tiredness over the stress any day! I did mention to the scan lady that I never felt sick until 8 weeks with my son so she thinks this one will be a girl! (I'm just over 6 weeks). I'm sorry you are feeling down tiger_lily. I found it really hard when I didn't get pregnant straight after my miscarriage, but you have to believe there's a reason for timing and enjoy your time with your little girl before number two comes along!

Hi all, I am 5DPO and thought I would be quite casual and relaxed about the whole thing...but I am not! I am reading into every little twinge etc, checking for sore boobs etc. Oh dear! I did not want to feel like this! I have been trying to chart my temp, but it went up and then dropped down for one morning, then went back up and stayed there. I know that this could mean I am PG and this is what happened last time, but maybe I'm not doing it right, or I'm not OV yet after the M/C? Any advice? (other than waiting! LOL)
