Got my period last night.

I’m so confused, that means ovulation would of been later, and that the progesterone test would Of been 4dpo?

[mention]Blizzy[/mention] It is possible you could have had a miscarriage / implantation failure if your cycle is normally like clockwork.


Unfortunately I have to have a hysteroscopic removal of the rpoc on Wednesday. I’m scared to have another procedure but I also want it out of me so I can start ttc in earnest.

Yes it is possible. That would be 2 cycles in a row now for a chemical pregnancy, or the fibroid is messing with it.


Bad timing for me since I’ve just flown into cairns

I’m struggling right now girls.

I have about 8 friends who are pregnant. Several have newborns. I’m getting anxious it’s not going to happen for me. Or I’ll have another miscarriage. Not sure what to do with these feelings. I feel stressed and sad all the time this week.

[mention]summer08[/mention] Wow that must be hard, I'm sorry! I know we try to be happy for everyone around us but it's so hard when everyone seems to be getting the one thing we can't have.

My two best friends since high school both gave birth this week, I struggled through both of their pregnancies and hit rock bottom back in March. After trying to push them both away and isolate myself I ended up booking in with a psychologist and talking to someone, is that something you're open to?

There are places that specialize in fertility counselling too.

I definitely feel the same way. Had a few friends recently give birth and feel bombarded with their posts on social media so am trying to limit my exposure.


For the most part I still feel genuine joy and happiness for others but I am definitely starting to feel some anxiety for my own situation and fear that it’s just not going to happen for me.

Thanks [mention]StephA[/mention] & [mention]Blizzy[/mention], might be time to talk to a psychologist again. This anxiety and sadness is all pervading at the moment. I also feel so fricken selfish as I already have a son and daughter and it feels so greedy & makes me a horrible person to be upset my sister is pregnant. I am delighted for her but sad for me. Considering I was due September it’s another reminder that I failed.

Had my hysteroscopy today and the rpoc remove. It looks pretty gnarly in the pics they showed me but the cavity is all clear now - what a relief. A bit sore but not bleeding much and doing ok.


I ovulating in a few days and they’re putting me on estrogen to rebuild the lining. Probably will be too soon to ttc.

Hello all!

I am brand new here so thought I would say hello :)

Husband and I are trying for our first. We are both 32, have no idea what to expect, very excited but also pinching ourselves that we are about to go down this adventure!


I don't understand the acronyms at the moment, feel like a huge noob!

I never wanted kids so not overly maternal (until I met my husband and my nieces!) so I feel we will be taking a more casual approach eg not tracking everything like a mad woman as I know it will spoil it/stress me out - no judgement on those who do either! :)

Welcome :) I don’t think it’s particularly necessary to track if you know your cycle well. For example, I just had a miscarriage and they say you don’t ovulate until your pregnancy hormones are zero. Mine was still around 60 and I knew I had ovulated because I get pimples in certain places and get mucus... a scan confirmed that indeed I had. My cycle is still messed up, I just had a two week period, and it was suggested to me during a subsequent scan I had already ovulated again. I wasn’t convinced. Pimples appeared yesterday and I did an ovulation test and sure enough SMILEY FACE.


So in short, just be aware of these things and it should keep your journey fun and spontaneous but also productive :)

[mention]nomviv[/mention] it’s been 2 cycles since my levels were 0 since the miscarriage. Onto cycle 3 now. 0 day should be tomorrow. Good timing as my kids are at their grandparents! Imagine a sleep in & not having to lock the door lol


I’ve made an appointment with a top fertility specialist in Melbourne who Mums in my playgroup RAVE about and who is well known for getting older women pregnant. At 37 I think that’s me now. It’s for July so 2 more cycles of trying ourselves. It feels good to feel I’m being proactive if perhaps slightly OTT about it.

I hate all this wasted time. I’m sorry.

Thank you <3


I think I know the specialist - have also heard of her even though I’m from Sydney. Lucky you to get an appointment!!! I follow an Insta account (ivf tribe) who sees her and fell pregnant at 44 last year but unfortunately she had a miscarriage at 13 weeks. She’s very inspiring!

Oh gosh a miscarriage at 13 weeks, that would be so crap. I’m definitely having PGD done if we get to the point of IVF. Such a waste putting in embryos that don’t develop, like my last pregnancy in January. 10 weeks before D&C then another few months til HCG 0. Such a waste of time.

Yes I am lucky to get an appointment, but I have a friend who knows her (he’s a cardiologist) who pulled a few strings for me.

I’ll look up the Insta thanks for sharing

Got an email from my acupuncturist this morning letting me know she is pregnant, and understand if I want to pause or cancel future treatments. I’m not sure what I want to do

That’s tough [mention]Blizzy[/mention] - are there other practitioners you could see or do you have a particularly good connection with this one?

I have an amazing connection with her. I tried so many before I found her. She was so polite and i appreciate her email. She said she wanted to tell me prior to treatment so I had time to process, and that if I choose to continue treatment she won’t ever discuss it without me saying so.

That’s incredibly professional, empathetic and kind. I would probably continue to see her if I were in your position, finding that connection through acupuncture is so important - perhaps you could see how you go in your next session and if you feel any negative reactions maybe that will be the signal to move on?

That is the decision I think I’ve come to as well. I have a session with her Tuesday lunch time. I have cleared all clients out on Tuesday afternoon in case I don’t cope well.
