It may be desparation here, but I'm thinking of going for some reflexology treatment to see if this helps with getting a sticky bean. Any thoughts, ideas, concerns etc, I'd welcome experiences and advice.

I'm now counting down the days to TTC again when AF turns up hopefully sometime this week. Today is 5 weeks since I had methotrexate, and its nearly 4 weeks since the loss of the pregnancy. I had a positive OPK fri/sat (so I make it 10dpo today). DH and I have had a most unwelcome return to...

I am a "moderate" drinker. I enjoy alcohol (usually more so at weekends!) and particularly after 2 consecutive losses was worried this might play a part despite the hospital saying no. I always found it odd that certainly my mum's generation always continued to drink (and smoke in most...

Hi Bit of a pointless thread really, but I got my letter for the recurrent miscarriage clinic today. It felt a bit weird to be getting excited about it, but I couldn't help it. This business is weird for what feelings you get. I think at least there are some people here who will understand...

Hi girls, After all the posts I've made so far, I'm still here! Got BFP 2 weeks ago today. It was a weird one, as i thought i'd had AF and had moved onto next cycle and was using opks and getting confusing positives. So, I rang EPU and went for early hcgs and progesterone test and they...

Hi ladies I'm sure loads of you have seen me bleating on now, but got called from EPU today again and now hcg levels are going up. Went today and today's figure in 1152 (originally 275 just over a week ago). I know its not doubling, and I have come to terms with this not being a viable...

Hi ladies, I don't know if this is the right place to be, and I don't want to upset anyone by lodging myself in here. I guess I am LTTTC as I've now been trying to have a baby for 2 years ish, not including a 5-6 month time out. I had a MMC last year at 12 weeks, and just had a...

Ok, so I had methotrexate yesterday, and as a result loads of skin and hair has fallen off, and i feel sick as a dog. Hcg count is going up still though, and no bleeding. Does anyone know how long this can take? I've got to go for more blood tomorrow and scan on friday. Why oh why is the...

So I'm at home now following treatment for an ectopic pregnancy. Just mulling the difference between reality and the film world: Film World (I've got the scene of Marley and Me in my head): Lady has the traumatic news/treatment in hospital, goes home cries quietly and prettily and loving...

Hi lovely ladies of tri1 I really am a mess of worrying, not helped by DH up all night as he is worried too. Did some hpts with a good concentrated fmu today to see if lines are getting any darker from friday's tests. Well, they're not and they're if anything fainter. I think I have to face it...

Morning ladies of Tri1! Yesterday I got my BFP which was totally unexpected as I had what I thought was AF from last thurs (ie over a week ago). I was moving onto the next cycle and did an OPK which was strongly positive, and so did a HPT as it seemed a bit early to surge for me. Bit...

Ok, so I defo have a BFP on cheapie. Was doing an OPK this eve as thought I may be CD7 at a push and ov'd early last month. OPK came of very positive, so thought I better to HPT as I've had a really weird AF this month. TMI alert, but had spotting every day for 5 days from last thurs until...

I went to see a friend yesterday who is undergoing IVF (implantation today - :dance:), she showed me the list of things she is meant to do and not do and most of them are obvious but some of the dietary stuff was surprising to me. Most surprising was the amount of milk she is meant to drink...

Just curious really as I'm not sure it means much. When I do bbt checks, my temp is usually around 37.3/4 in the first half of the cycle. In the luteal phase it goes up to 37.8-38.4. I'm 5dpo I think and bbt 38.0 this morning. Does anyone else get this? It can't be a fever as I feel fine...

As it says on the tin! Looking for some buddies for the long tww.... Pretty sure I'm 1dpo today. Had some niggly pains since what I think was ov yesterday, but that could be wind:shock:(tmi!) Come on girls - join me in some good ole symptom spotting!!! :dust:

Hi ladies Just want to share as i am so happy. After months of really tough interviews, I finally have been offered the most awesome job. Real career progression stuff, and over the moon. Have decided to just let the ttc pan out this month, if I am preggers will just have to deal with...

Was trying desparately to be cool this cycle since getting back from holidays as really didn't think too much about ttc while away. Oh how the mighty fall..... At least this will only be a 1ww I have sat with a calendar and worked out I'm probably 9DPO and today got some brown spotting:)...

Hi ladies! Good to be back, have just been catching up with what you are all up to. Really sorry no more BFPs, what was up with September??? I've had a complete break from TTC/POAS etc but been away with DH over best time of month so effectively lots of BD around the right time...

TTFN ladies, will be off for 2 glorious weeks of holidays! Look forward to coming back to see lots of BFPs especially from you SMEP'ers!! Hoping I can find a Fountain of Fertility in the good old Deep South - maybe a little voodoo would help me! xxxx

I have a nasty feeling AF is nearly banging at my door. To help my sanity, each month since my MC I have done something new to amuse/distract/give hope for the next cycle whilst trying to keep to SMEP'ing:bd:. I am lucky enough to have a pretty regular 28-9 day cycle and ov pretty consistently...
