Lilo - you remind me of a friend of mine who has a 10 yr old and a 1 yr old. People just assume last one was either a mistake or a late decision - but she spent a full 8 yrs after having #1 (conceived easily) TTC#2. She had failed IVF, nothing worked, except going back on the pill for 6 months then coming off it again - she conceived first month after coming off it.

I know this sounds really stupid but I am already worried about number 2 (even thought there is no sign of number 1 yet). I always wanted at least 2 (I may change my mind after 9 months and a labour :rotfl:) and I worry about how hard and emotional it has been for number 1. I am not sure I can go through this again I am very (VERY) jealous of those that just look at a man and are suddenly up the duff. Never thought it would be this hard. A child was a given in my visions of the future. I wonder if the acupuncturist will be doing any counselling as well? I think I will be wreck in the session :rotfl:

I still have some years in me yet I guess.

Hope everyone has a good day. Qq - you are in the far east - that explains the 1am posts. I thought you were nocturnal!!! Just Lilo for the nocturnalness then

Hi ladies.
HCG of 93 yesterday, so levels have dropped approx 30 in 7 days, which is quite frankly pathetic.
I've posted on the miscarriage support thread now (although i'm not sure I belong) so as not to gloom up this thread more, I hope that some of the sunshine can makes its way in here and bring some more BFP's to you lovely ladies.
Thankyou for all the support, as soon as I am fit and well and discharged from the care of the hospital I will be back with our next plan.
Thinking of you all ladies, and good luck!!

Best of luck lisa. Thanks for your support too, and for being so upbeat when you must feel miserable inside.

EWw! I always pee in a cup so it's easier. I use internet opks until I'm getting areasonable line (have to do it two or three times a day) and then use clearblyue to make doubly sure.

Yuck! I hate peeing in a cup:o

I POAS IC OPKs now, so easy and clean:cool:
Whichever way you do, the trick is to look at your pee while peeing;) Pee a little, check the exact location, stop pee, put cup there.
In POAS no need to stop in the middle, but let some pee out, and then point it downwards in the stream;)

So maybe I'll settle for something little, like some bath salts.

I might settle for something like that:cool:

QQ - there is often a boost to yr fertility when you come off Clomid - I've read about lots of folk who conceive on a Clomid-free month after 6 months taking the stuff. Here's hoping! I'm on 5th month of Clomid, so I might have a Clomid-free month myself after month 6.

I've heard that too, clomid can act as a contraceptive by thinning the lining and drying cm:lipsrseal
