Great idea for the thread!

My Story:
DH and I have one son who just turned 10, and been spending all these years since then on and off TTC. Some months during some of the years we tried hard...and when we did try hard, we got pregnant....but they ended up in losses. Our most recent loss was a 7w4d pregnancy with a heartbeat. I had a subchorionic hematoma that protruded in to the gestational sac and cut off blood flow to the baby, causing its demise. Genetic and chormosonal testing after my D&C revealed a healthy, normal female with 46 chromosomes.

Can't wait to start some great discussions on this board!

Hey ladies!!!! I have a super long story lol I'll try to make it short. I am very soon to be 33 hubby is 37. He has a set of 7 year old twins from a previous ex-wife who has the nerve to call herself a mother! It's been over a year no contact with the children, no phone no texts, no letters/cards no NOTHING! We are going to start adoption process pretty soon and I'll be able to legally adopt them after we have her parental rights terminated :) We have been trying since sept 11 found out in may/june hypothyroid and PCOS :( been on meds for both got my girl parts working just no baby yet :( I really hope we ALL get those BFP's real soon!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all!
I'm so glad this has been started! Thanks Jazzy!

DH is 32 and I'm 25 we will be married 4years in April and have been TTC since March 2011.... The first year we took it easy and if it happened it happened! I didn't start charting my temps or using OPKs till January 2012 and that's when we really started trying hard!! In May we got pregnant! Found out on DH birthday!!! But we mc on Mother's Day.... Started TTC right away and after long months of TTC I went to the doc on September cycle and got clomid!! I ovulated first month on 50mg... October cycle with 50mg I also ovulated and got pregnant!!! I mc at about 6weeks! It was sooo much harder the second time!

I found out that I'm RH- and that means I should of had the Rhogam shot after my first mc.... I started acunpunture after the mc like on day 3.... And went 4 times and I ovulated on cd17!!! Amazing!!! I got my cycle back right at 4weeks!! Right now DH and I are really stressed out! I want to give up but I know it will happen!!!
DH has low libido and it sucks!!! So I have to push to get BDing on!! That sucks! We just went 21days without anything!!! Ugh!....

This past cycle I started acunpunture, evening primrose oil, chastberry, red raspberry, and I started clomid again!!! I'm on cd10!!

Good luck girls!!! I believe 2013 will be a baby boom for us!!!

Wow! Each of us has such different challenges, but what we all share is hope!

Now I did not want to make this thread seem cliquey, so if there are any other ladies who have been around a little while who want to join us, feel free!

I propose that we stay together on this thread until ALL have !

So where is everyone in their cycle? I am 5 dpo. It has been a longer than usual cycle for me. PMS normally starts at 1 dpo for me, but it just kicked in yesterday. Fun fun!

I have no idea where I am in my cycle sadly! I can't ovulate until my hcg levels come down....and they are still at a pregnancy level. My temps go up, come down, go up, come down....all part of the withdrawal from the pregnancy loss.

Maybe I'll ovulate in a month?! LOL.

An October/November baby would be great....one of my favorite holidays is Halloween. Would just love a Halloween baby! But,........I can't count my chickens before they hatch! Or something like that....when you learn to deal with disappointment, you can't plan for shit.

I'm just plugging away, taking my temp every day....will start OPKs back up once my hcg level is negative. Until then, I'm doing a lot of deep cleaning in the house....prepping for when I might not have the time to do the things I've put off for awhile.

That is exactly what I have done to pass the time while TTC! I clean, clean, clean. Dust doesn't stand a chance!

It must be a difficult waiting game, what with the uncertainty of not knowing when your cycle will regulate again, but give it time! It will!

Another thing that helps me pass the time is exercise... And allowing myself to become addicted to a few good tv shows... And immersing myself in my work...

Hopefully you will be back on the train sooner rather than later!

Ha I feel ya I LOVE the fall and would love a fall baby as well! I am have very weird cycles lately :( I am 15 dpo BFN :( and not sure when af will be showing not really having any cramping just a little spotting. So I suppose I will be on cycle day 1 pretty soon :(

Me too! I work a lot!! I work a full time and part time job :( then after I get home from those I have cooking cleaning laundry and taking care of everyone. So I am pretty busy myself!!

So get this....from all that BDing this weekend.... I have a terrible UTI! I just told hubby we need to stick to our regular positions.....LOL. Drinking lots of water, taking cranberry tablets and doctor just called in a script for me. I had a UTI before my son was born, so haven't had one in over 10 years. OUCH. They HURT like HELL.

What we do to make babies............LOL.

No kidding! You are Super Woman Michelle!

I felt like Super Woman today when I got all my xmas shopping done! Almost got run over in the Chapters parking lot, but made it home alive! I have been nauseous today, but I don't think it could be a PG symptom. Too early. Probably just got a little stomach bug.
