Still No Af Following Loss

Tue, 14 Apr 2009 13:45:55 -0500

Dr. Q and Ladies,

I have been ttc for nearly 2 yrs following a tr in April 07'. We got pregnant on our own in February with a heartbreaking loss on 3/6, as the little one was in the tube.

I still have not had af.

I did get a +opk on 4/1. I have had very sore boobs, which seems to have gotten better today, and very tired and having alot of cramping.

RE is sending me for a beta tomorrow.

I keep feeling like af is coming?? Since my boobs aren't as sore I'm guessing, progesterone has already peaked and af will arrive in the next couple of days?

Has anyone had this experience following a loss?

We are waiting for af as we are preparing to do our first round of IVF in May.

Love & Blessings!

should i take some time before starting second IVF Cycle?

Wed, 04 Mar 2009 22:11:00 -0600

Dear Dr;

I did my fresh and frozen embryo transfer, both cicle is unsuccesfull. I had 4aa and 3bb for frozen and 3bb, 4bb for fresh.

If I try anather fresh cicle, do you think will have chance to getting pregnant?( they says second cicle will low chance then first).

If you think i have a chance can i start right now or should i wait for a while?

My frozen embryo transfer failed just a week ago.

My Dr says next time he can do "flare"

for me, is it means strongger medication?

Thank you very much

Clomid and long periods

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 14:16:22 -0600

I took 6 rounds of clomid and decided that in feb I was going to take a break from Clomid. My period normally lasts for 7 days including spotting. Last month it lasted for about 10 days and this month I am still spotting and Im on day 9. Does Clomid make you have longer periods or spot? I took an ovulation test today and it was negative.

thanks!

1st cycle clomid, cd9 and still af?

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 09:47:27 -0600

I have been ttc for 18 months now and just last month had bw done. They said everything looked good on bloodwork, except my thyroid level was a little low, so they adjusted my thyroid med's that i have been taking for quite some time. My last cycle was very irregular, almost a month long. My dr seems to think that i'm not ovulating regularly, so she prescribed provera to kick start my next cycle right away, and 50mg clomid on cd5-9. It's cd9 now, and I'm still having af! It's not heavy bleeding or anything, more like dark brown spotting. I haven't had any major side effects from the clomid, I actually feel pretty good besides still being on af. I was directed to start opk on cd11. Can I O if I'm still af? Is that normal to have such a long af on clomid?

Help!! Is a Faint + HPT Valid After 1-2 Hours?!

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 09:11:02 -0600

Ok, my dh just read NOT to read the results after 10 minutes but it is kind of my practice to pull the hpt out of the trash and look at it again sometime throughout the morning to "make sure" it is a bfn...and this morning I did and it was a +! It was faint, but now I am thinking it just sat too long??

Please help!

Much love & loads of babydust!

Flying long-haul at 8-10 weeks pregnancy

Wed, 18 Feb 2009 06:44:59 -0600

I would like to find out whether there is any threat to the fetus with long-haul flights? I will be 8 weeks pregnant & flying for 16 hrs with a stopover at 8 hrs, returning again when I am 10 weeks pregnant, with the 16 hrs flight and again stopover at 8 hrs.

I have read something about radiation on flights being dangerous in the first 8-10 weeks of pregnancy. I have not had any complications with my pregnancy thusfar.

Please advise.

What is probability of clomid still being in my system?

Wed, 11 Feb 2009 15:24:48 -0600

I have been taking clomid since January of last year, and I have not taken it this month at all. Last month I o late in my cycle so I was taken off of it, but I just started to get symptoms of oing two days ago cd17 which is when I did while on the clomid. Is it possible that my body is still reacting to the clomid even tho I did not take it this cycle?

Why would an ovulation test be positve for 3 days or more?

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 20:08:16 -0600

I tested positive for ovulation on cycle day 9. then negative for the next 3 days, then i tested positive again on cycle day 13 and again for 2 days after, i am hoping i get a negative tommorrow.

Why would i test positive so much, i am on no medication and i do not have PCOS.

When to test for pregnancy with long luteal phase

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 15:46:08 -0600

I'm 14DPO. Got a BPN this morning. My luteal phase is usually 16 days. That doesn't matter when it comes to testing, right? Did I test too early?

clear blue fertility monitor and long cycles

Sun, 11 Jan 2009 17:19:00 -0600

i have a brief question. I am looking to purchase a clear blue fertility monitor. I know it helps detect ovulation, but LH surges. I was wondering if this product would help me any considering my cycles are very long (aroung 75 days) and I hardly ovulate, not to mention when my hormones were tested they said I had high levels of LH, but did not have PCOS. Anyways, could you give me youe opnion on if this would be good for me or not! thanks in advance!

Confused

Tue, 30 Dec 2008 23:19:05 -0600

Okay, so after a 54 day cycle I had a very HEAVY bleed, then after a 42 day cycle had a very light bleed. Now after a 48 day cycle, I had a very light bleed TMI ALERT:(like 3 tampons in two days), the third day was spotting for half a day, then nothing on the fourth day and the fifth day one occurance of a good bleed when going to the washroom and then that's it. Strangeist thing I have ever incountered. Apparently ovulated on cd33, but started to bleed on 15 dpo. No bfp's yet and then had a blood test yesterday but they did not call me which would tell me that it was negative (they never call when it is neg.). What to think, why the light period, is it because I am/maybe anaovulatory?

* My updated Journey **

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 20:49:45 -0600

Well what a ride it has been! LOL

We have been TTC for 8 month since my dh's vasectomy reversal. He had a s/a done in June that showed a sperm count of 18 million per ml and volume was 2.6

The motility was 50% and 95% normal,5% immature,with a 4=sperm moving forward at a high speed.

We got pregnant 3 x's that all ended in m/c. That was month 4,5,and 6 of this journey. My dh went back about a week ago (in December) for another s/a and it showed a sperm count of 2.9 million per ml with a volume of 2.0,40% motility,60%normal,35%abnormal,and 5% immature. The doc thinks this is the reason for my m/c's and that my body was just doing it's job. Most likely he is just scarring shut from the scar tissue from the surgeries(which the doc warned us could/would happen) So we have come to a point where we had to make a decision what to do next??

a) reverse it again

b)sperm donar

c)give up

We decided to try one month with the help of clomid in hopes that it would "give him more targets" while also taking baby asprin,vitamin B6 and using progesterone after O

If that doesn't work we will do all of the above and also an at home insemination. If that doesn't work we are doing one more s/a and if the results are bad we are moving on to the use of donar sperm.

So that is where we are in our journey.

I sure hope to get my baby soon :)

It has been one long hard journey thus far, but I will appriciate my baby that much more :) Thank you for all of the support you have given to me along the way... ((( hugs to all )))

Hi everyone! I have been lurking for quite some time here at FT. This site seems to be a great support network for women in very tough situations.

Here is my story so far...

6/14/1997 - Married to the one I love!!! (The true start to this whole story)

Dec 2005 - purchsed Clear Blue Easy Fertility Monitor

May 2006 - 1st peak cycle!!!

June 2006 - BFP!!! We were so excited about a baby on the way!!!

6/14/2006 - Miscarriage #1 - Total devastation.

Long break until spring of 2007

July 2007 - BFP #2 followed very quickly by a miscarriage at 5 weeks. Anger and frustration...

Decided to go on birth control for a while...de-stress and enjoy life.

May 2008 - no more birth control!!!

8/3/08 - BFP#3!

8/14/08 - miscarriage #3 @ 7 weeks. Ugh...again? Heartbroken...losing faith...will we ever have a family?

Taking action...1st follow-up appointment with Dr to see why this is happening and how we can fix it is 9/15.

All blood work so far is normal. Got the go ahead to continue trying and use progesterone suppositories through 12th week.

I have a long somewhat irregular cycle...35-38 days

O very late - days 25-28 is where it falls most of the time.

12/27...I am on day 24 of current cycle with no +OPK yet...

This is my third attempt since our most recent miscarriage

Hoping for a BFP very soon!!! :)

Long and very heavy periods

Fri, 26 Dec 2008 16:43:00 -0600

DOCTOR PLEASE I NEED SOME FEEDBACK!!!

I have been bleeding since Thanksgiving, very heavy and big clots! I have been to the ER and all tests came back normal. I bleed heavy like this for a month or so and then nothing for about 3 months then another month it starts again. It affects my daily life when I bleed like this. I have to shower 2-3 times a day, my husband and I can't have relations and I'm ruining my clothes! Would I benefit from getting on birth control pills to regulate my periods?? I don't know what else to do!

How long is too long for a period? I have a 25 days long period

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 13:36:00 -0600

I am 25 and have just finished a cycle on gonal-f shots. We did NOT do the trigger shots because of to many eggs. I got overstimulated and have now been on a very very heavy period for 25days should I be concerned?
