I agree with all of the above! I think Ashoxox has a agood point - thyroid problems may have been the problem this time or may not, but at least now you know they are sorted and it's onwards and upwards.

I too have tried since last Aug and had no joy except one mc in Nov, so I know exactly how you feel. And I have also been a bit shy about going over to LTTTC....maybe we should go there together? Hold hands!

Anyway, rant away....thats what we are here for.

Hi again...

Don't have time to reply properly...will do that tomorrow morning. I just wanted to say thank you all so much for your replies and your thoughts. I've been so positive about things recently that it just caught me by surprise this morning when I felt so down. Am still feeling 'fragile' but I'm sure my glass will be half full again soon.

Anyway..thank you all for being so fantastic.

Aw, I feel for you. It's bad enough for me and I've only been trying for just over a month (I know, I'm impatient) so I can only imagine how you feel.

With regard to an underactive thyroid, my friend has one of those and she is the most fertile person I know. It seems if ever she misses a pill, she is pregnant (she now has 3 boys!!). I know it doesn't help but it just goes to show you can still get pregnant with that if you were worried about that.

Hope you feel better soon xxx

Ladies...just wanted to say thanks again. You all really helped me on Saturday as I was in a bit of a black hole! Am climbing out now and will soon be back to my usual self!

DolceBella & boobaby04 - thank you...and yes, I'm on meds now. Have to have another blood test (though not till Nov) to check levels. But, like you say, fix the problem and hopefully it'll fix my ttc troubles too. Finger's crossed!

vickie83 & kristy87 - thank you for the invitation to join you over in LTTTC. Maybe it's time......

sjkirkham, sinead & lyrah - thank you for your thoughts. They really helped.

omi - my glass is filling up and will soon be half full again. All your positive thoughts are absolutely right, I just had a major 'blip'. Guess it happens to us all from time to time!

AshXoXo - Thank you for sharing your story. Good luck to you, too, on your journey.

honey08 - I sympathise. It's so painful knowing the due date will come and go and we are still ttc. I think I'm going to plan lots of things to do that day to keep me really busy. Big hugs to you for 23rd. I haven't started charting yet...I joined FF but all the 'lessons' are waiting in my inbox...I have just been too busy to go through them recently. I can't remember all the blood tests my doc did, but def thyroid and progesterone (has to be done on CD21). Good luck with your appt.

Loo - Ha ha ha...yeah let's hold hands and go over to ltttc together. I always hate turning up anywhere by myself!

susan_1981 - thanks for telling me about your friend. It's good to hear stories that give you hope. Good luck in your ttc journey.

I've been finding it really difficult to read "Am I Preg?" posts, and "OMG I'm preg" posts when I have a painfully empty belly. It's just jealousy, but I find it so hard to see people who've been ttc for just a few short months get preg. Of course I'm happy for them and wish them all the luck in the world, but I'm still empty.

I'm on CD2 now and am having a period from hell which is probably why I'm feeling so down. Sorry for TMI but I'm getting through the super strength tampons in no time at all and just feel utterly crap, having 'leaked' in bed for the first time in 15 years. Just feel drained and sad. My baby would have been born this time next month. I was dealing with that quite well when I thought it was a chromosome-type problem which caused the mc. But now I've been diagnosed with an underactive thyroid, I realise it could have been a healthy baby and my body just couldn't sustain the pregnancy.

Sorry for rambling, just feeling s**t and don't want to do anything. Can't post in LTTTC board as feel they have all been trying for longer with serious problems and I don't want to insult them.

Sorry, I'll shut up now. I'm not expecting any replies, I just needed to vent somewhere before I go loopy.

to all.

hey hun, i am with you on this one, having AF from hell, spent most of the night on the loo and today have super plus tampoon plus super pad and having to change hourly.
we have been trying for years too. all i can say is that at least you know now about the thyroid and maybe solutions can be found. Also you dont know what caused the Mc but for your own health you mustnt blame your body ( i know i ahve spent a year blaming my failing body)
big hugs and take care of yourself
