I know exactly where youre at ABC. Take your time it’s such a big path we’ve been on and it’s hard to think of diverting but there is happiness either way I’m sure of it.

Thanks!!! It's starting to creep me out - an ultrasound tech and my D&C doc both said my uterus is "beautiful" and today the RE said it's "gorgeous"! I'm like, so what, should there be pictures of my uterus hanging in an art gallery or something?? LOL!!!! But seriously if it's so beautiful why can't it just carry a healthy baby!??!!
Did you get another BD in?????
It could be a prized collector piece [emoji23]
It really just sounds like it’s been bad luck, I am hoping upon hope that we both can leave that behind and conceive our healthy babes now.
We BD just after midnight, so still technically the CD it was due, just not the full 72 hours. Having full on ov pain atm which started about 8am so 🤞🏻

Abc so glad to hear of your beautiful uterus :D if it helps at all my uterus isn’t beautiful I’m 26 and have adenomyosis so the walls of my uterus pretty much look a mess and I’ve been a nervous wreck thinking this can mess my pregnancy up (still am and I’m 12 weeks)
But my 20s have definitely not been care free :p think I’m to blame though I’m a natural born worrier!
Thank you all so much! My next scan will be next week on Wednesday and I'm sure by then I will be a nervous wreck again, but at the moment I really try to enjoy.
Parying4agirl can't you get a private scan? At 6 weeks maybe to see the heartbeat? I don't know how much private scans are though. It's really cruel to have to wait for several months not knowing what is going on :heart: So far I only have some mild symptoms. I have to get up at night to pee once, which I only have in pregnancy. By 6 pm I get so tired that I can hardly keep my eyes open. Which is fun with two boys not sleeping before 9 pm ;-) Feeling weak and shaky, especially when I stand up. And some mild waves of nausea. I think that was worse in my last pregnancies at 5 weeks so I really hope it won't get that bad this time, but I guess I will know in two weeks. That was when I started vomiting with DS1 and 2. Do you have any symptoms yet?
Hannah that's a beautiful line!!! So happy for you! How crazy, in your last month that you wanted to ttc ever!
ABC that's so good to read! Having a gorgeous uterus must be very reassuring! :D I don't want to get on your nerves and I know I wrote this before, but maybe you could really think about taking femara. I read that clomid is good for quantity of eggs and femara for quality. Maybe this could make the difference for you, or at least give you some peace of mind to do something different than before?
Eighme I'm so sorry AF arrived. Good luck for next cycle!
Mummy2boys DHs can be such a pain! Mine was not fully on board to ttc as well and before each BD he started a discussion whether to pull out or not. SO annoying. I could always convince him not to pull out but I couldn't really enjoy BDing in those moments anymore because I was not sure what he would do. I'm glad you are well covered with O-1 and O-2 attempts! I think you are in the UK so it should be the morning after O-day for you? Did you see a temp rise? FX for you!!!
Emshe your timing looks perfect! FX for a temp shift tomorrow!
I could possibly go for a scan but worried if i go private, i’ll want to make it a habit and go everytime im worried!
Will see how things so, still very much on edge about it all.
Your sysmptoms have started showin slowly ey, the only thing i am in hungry all the time and no matter how much i eat, i dont feel full. I have started drinking more water so thats whats causing the toilets trips as opposed to the preg sysmtoms. Again I am tired but thats normal with my boys, they dont like sleeping and love waking up loads throughout the night, with early starts! Sounds like we have similar stories atm hehe
All the best for next scan too - will they be weekly?

After 3 losses had DD 2018 [emoji178]
It’s been a while since I’ve been on the boards. Took a break trying since the beginning of the year. Did a quick run through and congrats to the positives and I’m sorry for the losses!! I’ve missed a lot. We have actually started seeing a specialist and looking into ivf. Started running tests and apparently my amh level is pretty low, which measures ovarian reserve. Not exactly sure what that means since we haven’t had our follow up yet but the year of no success and a miscarriage seems to be an issue with me, which is hard to take after having two other babies easily. Good luck to everyone this month.
Girls if u speak about age maybe i should worry... im really afraid i wont conceive again:worry:
No, that’s not what I meant momma. Just the constant worrying is all I meant. I wouldn’t trade this pregnancy for anything. [emoji4] Atomic was well in her 40’s and had a healthy baby! ❤️ so was my mother in law.

Mine is also perfect lol. I'm constantly told my uterus and lining are "beautiful." My problem is it's TOO perfect and tries to grow unviable babies -- maybe that's what going on with you too?
And hi guys -- in here depressed because it's CD18 and I'm nowhere near a positive OPK :( I normally ovulate CD16-19. I'm getting cramps and have had on and off EWCM and O pains for like a week. I'm worried either my chemical or the drugs from my FET have messed things up, even though I've ovulated normally afte losses before :(
And of course this is the month I don't temp because I thought I would stress too much. Ugh!
TP it's so good to see you on this board! Sorry I haven't responded to your last PM yet - will still do so!! I'm sorry your cycle seems to be weird :( Probably like you said because of the chemical and the FET stuff. I still feel like my hormones are still out of wack after my D&C/ miscarriage. It's annoying!!
Huh. Maybe you are right! DH and I get pregnant basically every time we try - 5 out of the 7 cycles we've tried, we've gotten BFPs. That fact alone doesn't seem normal LOL!! Maybe my body just implants and tries to grow every egg that is fertilized regardless of whether it's viable, where in other women the body rejects most nonviable eggs before they even implant? The percentage of fertilized eggs that never implant is pretty high, isn't it? Hmm... that's interesting and not something I had really thought of - maybe it is my issue!
Temping stresses me out too :( It's such a pain!
I've never heard of adenomyosis before!! Do the doctors think it could cause issues during your pregnancy? Things seem to be going great so far though & I'll keep praying it continues to go well!! I saw that you had some other tests that went well! Was that the nuchal fold/ blood work type of test?
Verena yea I'll research more on Femara - neither my obgyn or RE have mentioned it so I wonder if it's not something they prescribe much. I don't even know if egg quality is really my issue - my FSH and AMH numbers are good.
I'm still so excited about your beautiful scan yesterday - and you get another one next week yay!! Maybe you will see a heartbeat by then if you'll be a little over 6 weeks?
No worries! I'm always around, haha!
And yes, that's exactly what hyperfertility is suspected of being! A small study was even done that observed the endometrial lining of hyperfertile women "reaching out" to grab everything compared to women of normal fertility where that only happened with viable embryos! There's also a Professor Quemby in the U.K. who's a big investigator into it who has other observations on it as well.
That's fascinating!!! Have you talked to your doctors about this? I'm definitely going to research it!! So if that's what's going on with me do I just keep getting pregnant and hope I finally grab a good egg? My first two losses were at 5 weeks and my betas at 4 weeks were awful so I feel very sure those were not OK from the beginning. The 3rd one makes less sense.
It would seem like hyperfertility would sway more boy but if you got a girl with it I guess I'd still have a chance!
I also have the perfect environment thing going on. After test after test.. It's diagnosed with unexplained infertility for us bc hubby has no issues either.
I feel like any woman who has gone through ivf feels like it's a bloody miracle anyone gets pregnant at all! You start with X number of healthy eggs and X number get fertilized then less than 50% of that makes it to day 3.. Then less to day 5. Then once you send off for PGS you find maybe only half of that number (if you're lucky) are normal. I think after age 30 it gets tougher for chromosomaly perfect babies too.
Such a numbers game! That's why we did IVF bc I was sick of having chemical pregnancies or NOT getting pregnant every month.. that and my second trimester loss.

That's what my obgyn keeps telling me - that with everything that has to go perfectly right, he thinks it's a miracle that anyone ever has a baby! I wish at this point we could do IVF/PGS but the funds definitely aren't there for it. Have to just keep hoping we catch the right egg I guess!!
This times a MILLION!! The true miracle is that it happens successfully as often as it does!! SO many things have to go exactly perfectly and we are talking about countless chemical reactions and DNA replications and perfect hormone levels all happening in precisely the right order!! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
We can only try, to believe & to follow our dreams. Keep trying & hope.
sending you the biggest of hugs ABC

CD16. What kind of temp spike am I looking for? I had two negative opk tests today at 2pm and 530pm, not drinking fluids. Last night I woke at 4:45am because I had to pee, temp 98.22 (before moving out of bed). Slept until 6:45, temp 98.27.
Mucus is close to egg white but thicker. Not school glue consistency, less sticky, but more creamy than EW. I think last cycle pos OPK CD19.

Sorry for multiple posts. It looks like I have to wait a day or two. First time temping so I don't really know what to look for there yet. I suppose I just want reassurance that it makes sense to keep waiting for the positive. That's the plan!

Only one RE has agreed that its hyperfertility -- it's still a controversial/new diagnosis! But yes, our official prognosis ven after IVF was "keep trying until one sticks." In our case, it's about getting that one good sperm since DH's sperm are messed up :(
I keep joking that I must have soft boiled eggs -- they keep letting the first sperm to make it in, I've joked, when we know now the first sperm to get to the egg are NOT the god ones but the ones meant to crack open the shell :P
Thank you! You're probably right. I had to have ovulated normally after my first IVF cycle based on my pregnancy. It must have been that damn estrace from the FET :(
And now I'm having menstrual like cramps on CD18. I'm scared AF is just going to come early and I won't ovulate at all :( I have intense ovulation usually but this is something else!
