Hi to all the newbies!

Sorry about your news Omi wishing you

.

Maz, I had my appointment in the end( nearly didn't as they wanted new blood work done)and saw the consultant, who has decided to put me on clomid. He said that we need to shorten my cycle lenghth and that this was the next and best option. Will be starting on it 2nd day of next cycle. Will wait and see what happens. By the sound of things they seem to recomend thios to alot of ladies, so they just might prescribe it for you too?

Anyways,

to all and lets all stay positive!

Hi there,
I am 31 and been trying to conceive since August 07. My hubby is 36 and we have been together since i was 17!!!!
I had an unplanned pregnancy 7 years ago, which ended in miscarriage at about 10 weeks. Since then haven't wanted to try until last year! I have had 2 very early miscariages about 4 - 5 weeks each time and i now wish we had tried for kids earlier!!!
I get so upset and frustrated each month when i get my period, i ca't tell you.
You are not alone!!!
I suppose we just have to keep trying!!????

Hi Emsi, and welcome!

First wanna say sorry to hear what you're gone though. Mc is a hard thing to experience (just recouperating after a d&c last friday- so i know) but well done for being strong and keeping at it!!

You're not alone in feeling how you do and luckily you have the support of your gp and your OH and that's great.

im 37 myself (38 next week) and although im late to the game (had to find the missing link-my OH

) i am positive since at least i got pregnant, which is the big hurdle, i think for many...

Im sure you will find this site a great place to find advice, help and somewhere to vent where you know you'll always find a friendly ear

Best of luck and here's some

Believe it or not I've managed to get to the ripe old age of 39 and this is my first ever visit to a forum. And, you've guessed it, managed to get to that ripe old age, without having a child. Have been ttc only for a couple of months but some strange things have been happening over the past two weeks - AF due in two days - and have become all bit pre-occupied with the thought that i might be pregnant. anyone out there who's in a remotely similar position. Would be great to hear from you. Here's hoping...

Hi I'm Kristie and I'm 35, DH is 38 and we've been trying to conceive for 8 months. I had a day 21 progesterone level test this month which was 29.8 and my TSH level was 0.7 and AF is 5 days away. From what I've read on lots of forums and the net this could be an indication of pregnancy. I don't want to get my hopes up. I've had a few cramps for about a week, been hideously mood (poor hubby), a spot of blood 3 days ago. Because I've read so much it could all be in my head. I am sure I am not the only one that happens to?.

Anyway, g'day (i'm from Australia) hehehehe :-)

Let me know what you think of my progesterone levels...

Thanks and good luck
Me

hi kirstie. you're from oz? I was there for five weeks mid-dec to mid-jan. sister lives in Sydney and she got married before Christmas so i stayed out to check it all out a bit. I had the best time!! anyway, back to business. From what you say, looks like it could well be a good month for you. Fingers crossed. I've also had cramps - for over a week now - they're not as strong as AF cramps and are, at times, concentrated on my right hand side - i've also been feeling twinges there especially in evening. But, like you say, it's hard to know it it's not just a case of paying closer attention to you body or whether it's really signs of early pregnancy. I had a v brief bleed on 8 dpo. never had that before. it really shocked me. Af due in one to two days' time so it's just a case of sitting tight til the. it's torture! Wishing you all the luck in the world - give a big kiss from me to down under!

kristie72 · Feb 27th, 2008, 18:41 PM

Hi Dawn.

I live in Adelaide. I got married in November last year how funny you were in Oz for a wedding before xmas. Where are you?

I think it "might" be a good month. I just can't test because it's so disappointing, just can't do it. The cramps are weird aren't they. It is like a constant dull AF cramp, I thought I was imaginging it. Sounds like you might be in luck too! I just worry that I've read so much and like you say have been paying such close attention to it all that's it is really in my head. Least you only have 2 days to wait. I have 5....eh!

Good luck and nice to meet you

Dawn · Feb 27th, 2008, 18:55 PM

I know, five days can seem like an awfully long time. but then, if you look at it anothe way, you've got five days of hope ahead of you. at least the prospect is exciting. I'm from Wales - beautiful in parts but a far cry from Adelaide. I think my sister did the right thing moving to paradise. have you had any other symptoms other than cramping?

kristie72 · Feb 27th, 2008, 19:10 PM

i've had cramping for about a week. i had that drop of blood. hellishly moody. i was at the gym last night watching biggest loser and i cried, then a pet rescue show came on and i cried and this was at the gym...OMG. today i feel weird, like you know when you've eaten something bad and you are going to get diarrhoea and that sick feeling in your stomach and throat. i have that. 2 people said to me yesterday that i was glowing, although that could have been my makeup ;-) hehehehehe (joking). oh and i've been doing #2 ALOT which is unusual for me and 2 days ago I was itchy all over all day.

what about you anything else?

I do think alot of these are in my head though.
