I'm in. I must like being punished or something. I just cannot bring myself to not try. Not when I feel like I am running out of time already. I am going to be working with my primary care physician (hopefully) to get some tests done and maybe find some answers.
I'm doing a lot of research and I've decided that it's seriously time for me to be my own advocate. Obviously no one else is going to do it for me, and if I want answers, I've got to ask the right questions.
So, plan of action for this cycle.....Clomid CD 3-7, baby asprin, prenatals, folic acid and B6 daily, EPO before O, progesterone cream after O. I'm going to be using OPKs this cycle too. Hopefully this gets me a sticky BFP!

I can only have 1 drink or I end up like that too.
Stephanie, sounds like you are going full force this month. I hope you end up pregnant!
Me, I am not doing much this cycle except lots of BD'ing! No OPK's, no extra anything except folic acid. It is just been so draining for me and so I am taking a month off from all of the doctor visits, testing, poas ect...

Count me in! I'm definitely getting some tequila!!! I'm on cd4 now...just left it at what FF had...don't think it's going to make much difference.
And I'm home sick from work today. I feel like poop...sore throat and nasty head sinus thing...and DH is out of town for 2 days...how convenient...he was sick last week and I took care of him...he will pay when he gets back! 
This month for me will be the usual: prenatals, OPKs, preseed, evening primrose oil. I'm debating on prescribing baby aspirin for myself ...I've taken it before Oing (I've read that it can help increase the blood flow to help release the egg) but haven't taken it after Oing. Also read that it can't really hurt...
And I'm going to BD every other day again. Seriously...the only 2 cycles out of 8 with a BFP were every other day as opposed to daily. Hope it works a 3rd time...
And I'm going to put in a call to my Dr's office today...but they have 3 days to call me back so I may not hear anything soon.
Stephanie...sounds like a good plan!
Kimberly...keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Hope we all get BFPs this month!!!

I am STILL waiting on AF. Wed. will make 9 weeks post d&c with no AF. I really hope it is only the thyroid meds being out of whack. My mind always goes to the worst case scenario, so I keep worrying that it is scarring.
I have been on my new thyroid med for just under a week and I all ready feel sooooo much better. My endocrinolist wants me to have all the recurrent miscarriage antibody tests run, even though I have only had 1 m/c. I will be in to my OB's office this week to have the blood work and discuss the lack of AF.
This cycle, assuming I start a new one: Started sublingual vit. d to correct a borderline deficiency, my prenatal and the new thyroid med.
I hope there are lots of BFP from our group this month!
Kat.

Hey gals, i'm back. It was very hard to recover from my last failed cycle. I really thought it was our month. it sucks when you're convinced and then you were wrong. really sucks. but i'm back on track now, as AF has left the building. How do you stay positive after so many failed cycles - i keep asking myself this question. but i don't have the answer...
Let's see, i'm using CBEFM and OPKs, preseed and I agree, we are going back to every other day BDing. The times I fell pregnant were on every other day cycles. So i'm with Krystal!!!
Stephanie, i'm sorry you are going through this. I know not having answers is difficult. But the good news is you can get pregnant!! that really is half the battle. now we just have to figure out how to stay pregnant right? heavy sigh and big hugs!!!! i'm glad you are back in the game though!!!
Ok ladies, let's make the cycle very successful!!!!
oh, i'm on vacation this coming saturday so i'll be away for all of next week. Oing while i'm gone - yay!!! i will try to check in and see how you are all doing!!

I'm on CD 8 and am trying to talk DH into TTC this month. He may want to wait until December to start TTC again but I'm hoping that I can talk him into this month, it will all depend on what the doctor says today. If she gives her ok to start TTC this month then DH will readily agree. I'm not temping this month but I will be keeping track of CM to try to determine when I O. I'm usually pretty regular so if my cycles are back on track I should be O'ing around Nov. 10th. And if I don't see AF by Thanksgiving I will be testing.
I hope this month is the month for all of you and I see lots of BFP's in a few weeks.

Today is the first day of no spotting.... I go for my ultrasound next Monday... I am off Thur,Fri,Sat,Sun,Mon... SO on Monday I should Ovulate... (Or hope so)... I am off to work.. so I get to peak at my blood work that was done on Friday. So who knows what that will show... I will also have swabs done on the day of the Ultrasound checking for any infection. And than I will start theProgesterone. I am not happy about starting the progesterone... since it will give false IPS... I need you guys to keep me grounded!!!

I am all confused, or at least my body is confused! I made a small adjustment to my chart and my dotted ch went away. I suspect that I have not ovulated since the m/c - feel free to check it out and give your opinions. I am very new to charting, so any guidance will be welcomed.
The change in Thyroid meds has made all the difference in the world! It is amazing how quickly your mood and how you feel can change with the right medication. It is very possible that my high temps are related to too much of the wrong medication and not ovulation.
I did have a lot of ewcm yesterday, cervix is high and softer and my mood is that of o week, so maybe I am about to o for real?! Maybe?! Hopefully?
I am going to refuse to do much IPS watching (yea, I know but I can at least tell myself that) and do the same thing I did the month I got my BFP - sign up for a half marathon in Feb! DH also wants to compete in an Ironman next year, so I will start training with him. I am back to weight lifting for the first time in over a year and since I am getting into a solid intense routine, it should guarantee a BFP, right? At least it will distract me and maybe I can lose the 10 lbs of thyroid weight in the meantime!

I agree that your chart does look annovulatory at this point. Hopefully you are ovulating soon.
I am going at this cycle full force, but I am also starting an exercise regimen and I do know that in the past, that has messed up my cycle somewhat. I am hopeful, but not optimistic in regards to this cycle. I have to admit..... I am pretty depressed right now, and fighting that depression is my main priority. I'm not even sure if I will have a chance this cycle, but I don't know how to stop trying, so here we go again.

:dothugs: Stephanie. I will say the exercise routine gives me something to focus and it takes up a lot of time that I might otherwise spend googling things I have no business googling  and driving myself mad. Are you going to have any testing done? There has to be a reason for the recurrent/early losses.
The more I study my chart, the more I feel it is anovulatory and it makes sense as TSH too low will prevent ovulation.
Always here if you need me....
Kat.

I am going to try to get some testing done very soon. I just have to work up the courage to actually get things scheduled.
