well I am cd17 I don't feel positive about this month for some reason, but I hope I am wrong! So many things are running through my mind, I am nervous and scared that if we are pregnant will I have another miscarriage. Something I have no control over! I am trying not to get my hopes up too because I don't want to get let down if Af showes up! I am trying to have the attitude that if it isn't this month it we will have to just try again, i never thought getting pregnant would have such a mental hold over you! well if anyone else is in this 2 week wait I hope we end it with a smile!!

One and only,
Stay positive girl!  I know it is the most difficult thing to do.  I agree with the wanting a baby having so much mental control over us!  It has completely consumed my life.  Just try to relax and don't worry about all the other stuff.  One step at a time.  That is what my mom keeps telling me, and it is true. 

I wish you a BFP soon!  When do you test?  Keep us posted.

One and Only

I am on cd18 and saw a specialist on 8 and 15 April.  Just like you I don't think this is the cycle for me.  He got me on started on Ferti-boost and I am undergoing treatment at his clinic.  I am aware maybe this is out of question for some people, but I invite you to visit site www.lagrangeinstitute.com to see the kind of treatement I have started on.  Throughought this journey I have learnt that there is little I wouldn't do.

Dont' stress too much about the m/c, I know how hard it can get, but you need to be positive and not anticipate disappointment.  I've also learnt to tell myself that GOD knows how much we can bear and He loves all of us we just have to wait for His perfect timing.

I know how you feel.  I really felt this month was going to be my month, and I actually thought that I was pregnant.  But, took a pregnancy test this morning and it came out negative.  It really is hard not to think it will never happen for us.  I'm trying not to loose hope.  Today is just a hard day.  I hope your's comes up positive.  Good luck.

One and Only, I'm on cd20.  I still have hope for this cycle.  My 1st IUI was done on cd15.  Don't lose hope this could be our month   What's making you doubt this month?  I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and try to take it easy and not stress so much.  I have turned all my worries and stresses over to God and believe me it feels good.  I have already claim my victory in the name of the Lord...now I just have to wait on HIS timing, not mine.

Take care

Oh tigger I'm so sorry about the dissapointment, maybe it will still work out. I just started over again myself and it was a big let down but you just have to pull yourself together. A new month of hopes and dreams awaits us....

Thanks everyone for your support!  I don't mean to sound negative, I guess if I think that then I won't be too disappointed.
Babybound- the two times I was pregnant I had felt the wet days during ovulation and they actually continued on even after I tested positive, this month I don't have that. after trying for so long you start to know every thing your body is going through and maybe I am over thinking everything. I wish you luck too keep me posted
Tigger- sorry for your disappointment and I wish you luck. I had many months that I would of sworn I was pregnant and wasnt' so I completely understand how you feel.
wantsbaby2- thanks, my mom says the same thing and they say mom knows best!
I do believe the statement God only hands out as much as you can handle, but I also think through out my life I have gone through soo much that I think ok I have been handed alot here and that is enough, but it keeps coming!!
I hope we all end our waiting game with a BfP!!!!

One and Only,
I know what you mean.  Everything in my life has been so difficult for me too.  You would think that something somehow would come easy for once! Grrrr!  I have a friend who just wishes for things and they simply "show up on her doorstep!"  It's frustrating to be her friend sometimes.  When she wanted kids she told me she had sex twice and boom, she was pregnant!

I sometimes think the direct pathway for crap leads right to my doorstep, and it's on auto pilot!  If it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen to me!  I know God knows what he is doing but I want to say enough already!  Hahaha!  You are in good company my dear!  Just keep trudging along and try to keep the faith.

well cd 22 I gave in and took a hpt which was yesterday and it showed a faint, very faint positive, this morning I took another and it was darker! I am not trying to get excited because of being let down, but down deep I am jumping up and down. I know I am testing pretty early, I think I am addicted to hpt!!! when I was pregnant in Feb, I took a test the same day (cd22) and each day it got stronger, so this was our first month trying since my d&C in March! I am a little shocked because we tried for 2 years the first miscarriage and then it took a year this last one, and this one only 1 month! I just want to get on the lovenox as soon as I know! good luck to all of us!!

Sounds like a positive to me .  When do you test?  I'm wishing you a lot of luck.

babybound- I am going to call today and set an appt for friday, that is when my period would be due, I tested again this morning and the second line is still there! I hope it doesnt' fade! I know testing this early could be disappointing, if af should show I will just cancel the appt. I was told when you test this early you could have an early miscarriage that you wouldn't even know about.  Thanks for the luck I need it, I am so nervous about having another miscarriage!

One and Only,
Did you do IUI this month?  Did you take an hcg shot to make you ovulate?  The hcg shot could give you  a false positive.  If you are still trying on your own it sounds like you could be pregnant!!!!

I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
