Definitely there is still hope! What type of test are you using?

Just a cheap Ebay test (pregnow) they reckon they can test 10ml?

Ttc5- I never got a positive using cheap Internet ones... Dont know why but just didn't ... First response one positive straight away .... So don't give up hope!

I read yr birth story and sounds like my dd3 she too was a twin I had lots of bleeding and she is very much here!!!

I still feel really pregnant so just going to b positive and let my body do it's thing. I decided not to go back for an early ultra sound... Just wait to see my ob at about 11 wks. I just feel that this time I want to enjoy the whole pregnancy thing and stressing over not seeing bub today may be a bit silly as I am probably only 6 wk 3 days and I have a tilted uterus so that could also effect it!

Good luck with the testing!!

Sounds like a good plan

You would give up on ttc if you had thyroid issues? It's really just a small pill every day and finding the right dosage which you would need to do anyway. Once you get it sorted out there are no issues of ttc. I've been on it for a couple of weeks and had a normal cycle. The proof will be next time I O, but things are better already and it's safe to take w/ pregnant and nursing. GL to you!

FWIW, my ex-MIL had her thyroid removed as a child because of cancer, so has taken a large amount of thyridizine (sp?) most of her life to compensate. She got pg super easy and took it while pg and nursing all 3 of her kids.

It is really AMAZING how that one little organ can control so many of your bodily functions!!!!

FX yours continues to be a good little thyroid and give you perfect cycles and a bfp, Iluv! Layla, I hope that eases your mind a bit. Millions of people have thryoid issues and like Iluv said, a little medication can make you straight as rain again.

I don't even have the benefits of big boobs w/ my poochy tummy for like my shirts to hang better and not skin tight making my stomach stick out more. I don't want to buy a lot of clothes either since I plan on being pregnant soon. I think I have about 4 months to hide my pregnancy w/ my current stomach size. At some point bigger lower 1/2 and small boobs will just make me look awkward, at least I'm tall.

I love the DD2 theory though and that I'm not the only one. We love her, but she has been a challenge to say the least. Good thing she's cute.

There is no way that a Starbursts and Skittles diet could result in low nutrients. Don't you sweat it even a little. I'm going w/ that theory since I live on a mostly liquid diet of Starbucks and redbull. Could thing I've conceived 2 DS's on that diet or I might be sweating it a little bit more. Maybe I'll start my own forum with the Starbucks/Redbull diet to ttc sons. J/K!

Two comments: on fashion- my new style is big old baggy shirts with cropped leggings. It's my new thang. No belly to be seen and I feel quite boho also. On the redbull/sbux diet- I'm pretty sure that is what Britney Spears is on most of the time and she has 2 boys, LOL!

At least you have an excuse. I married DH the 1st time and I thought it was so cute that I got to balance his checkbook for him. Dear Lord, I had no idea what the really meant for my life. I married him again and there is no excuse, I sure has heck can't blame ignorance. I do LOVE my Dh though and I've put a lot of work into him, but it hasn't been easy at all and it still a work in progress. The fact that I'm perfect goes w/o saying.

You guys divorced then remarried? I gotta say AWWWW at that....it is cute. I think all marriages/men are a work in progress. My dad taught me the best lesson ever about how to stay happily married (which he and my mom still are)- he said when you stop caring for your spouse and doing those little things that you did when dating, then it starts to break down. He and my mom seem to wait on each other all the time, but it shows that they CARE for each other, kwim? DH and I made a deal with each other on our wedding night that we are not allowed to stop caring for the other person and going out of our way to do for them. It helps, we still feel like we are dating.

Oh and Cemas, vent away! That's definitely one of the reasons we are all here. Keeping my FX you get a BFP soon; you certainly deserve one.

Yes, Cemas....vent away, lady! One of the reasons I like this group so much is because there are a mix of newbies and veteran swayers, and we get a lot from each other. I gain enthusiasm from the newbies, and hopefully they gain some perspective and patience from us long-timers. I wish I had some long-timers in our old crew back in the day to tell me that it might take some time so don't freak about that.

And ya know what, I feel like there is only one way I can go right now if I am to get pg, and that is to keep BELIEVING in my self and my body, to believe that this year of ttc and the m/c's and pitfalls all mean something to my life and my perspective. That when this baby does come along, I will be so much the wiser and more appreciative of him or her.

My yoga teachers knows about my journey and such, and she told me from the very first class that when we meditate in class and outside of class, that she wants me to repeat this over and over: "Thank you for the life you are about to put inside of me." I just love that. She says I am to thank the universe for what I am about to receive....and the universe will reciprocate. I'm not some new-agey chick but I do like it and it keeps me positive and peaceful about it, in a very excited way.

Other than drying up CM I don't see how else Clomid could sway? That's the way I'm thinking and sticking to it anyway. Hopefully the Clomid will give those nice mature eggs a big boost. We were told to BD every second day as well from CD10 onwards.

I hope you are right for both of us! I am getting excited to try it. Do you think the odds of twins is greater if you can O on your own and you take Clomid? Are you guys going to use any preseed or ew?

Hi all sorry to be a pain and it seems I only come on here when I have a problem but only get Internet on my phone and I hate typing on there!

Well I went for a scan today due to some spotting but they could not see a yolk sac or fetal pole just a gest. Sac I know when I od so I should b about 6 wk 4 days. Should I be worried? Thanks

Hi AMS.....I am so sorry, I hope you are doing ok. Yes, TTC5 had the same experience. I had a different one this past pg....at my 8wk appt there was an empty sac with nothing inside. BUT that was at 8wks when there should be something definitely visible. At 6 1/2 wks, may still be early, and maybe the u/s machine just didn't pick your bub up. I know you can't help but worry, but do try to remember that at your stage, it is possible that you are too early, but also possible that you have an empty sac like I did, which I hope is not the case. How is your spotting going? Did it stop? I'm so sorry you have to deal with this. Did they schedule you for another scan in a couple of weeks?
