I'm still about...but not tracking my cycle this month. DH had his test, but has not been sent results and will not contact the doctor, so I am stuck again.
My cycles have been 25days for two cycles, which is better, but DH not really bothered about the whole thing

Take care Claire.

Hugs to everyone else.

beanie[angy] at your 'friend' FWIW i was very drunk (tequila slammers drunk)at my house-warming party 3 days before i got BFP with my DD!! tell your friend to bugger off!! it WAS NOT your fault that you had a MC it was just one of those awful things that happened
xx ei xx

Claire - hope you are ok

Just needed to rant and I have no where else to put it but here. I have been trying to be more positive, not to wallow and not to worry about still not getting pregnant ...

So just been talking to my work mate who I otherwise get on very well with and who also had a miscarriage many years ago so was very supportive when I had mine and I really appreciated it... but... sometimes she says the most inapropriate things!

Was just talking to her about a friend of mine who is due in january, the week after I would have been, and how she most probably got pregnant at the wedding we both went to at the end of April. I was saying how I must have been just a week or so pregnant by then and not known it, and my friend possibly got pregnant while at the wedding. Anyway - work mate says

"can I ask a question... did you drink that weekend! "



Implying that because I did (I had a couple, my friend had much much more) then that is why I miscarried. FFS.

And relax.... back to being positive I go.

Grrrrrr

Ei and Beanie sorry to see you back at the top

Starting to get some aches and pains now, I've pulled a sickie today but was in yesterday. I'm sitting here wishing my body would just get on with things - we're going to Edinburgh for the weekend and I'd much rather not be lying in a hotel room feeling shit and sorry for myself.

Btw I am sure I saw somewhere that Glasto is pregnant - can't remember how far on now.

Claire So sorry it wasn't happier news, you sound as if you are taking it well, but don't beat yourself up if hormones kick in later and you fall apart a little. Remember where we are if you need to talk x

Claire, I'm so sorry. Hope you're able to have a peaceful weekend and that nature takes its course sooner, rather than later (I hope that doesn't sound mean and callous). Big, big hugs.

PTx

Not good news from me, no development since around six weeks. We were pretty much expecting this with the problems in the last few weeks and knowing my existing problems and tbh it doesn't feel as raw and painful as the previous miscarriage felt for either of us. In fact it's taken us by surprise how OK we both feel, very sad of course but even seeing a few newborns in the supermarket wasn't at all upsetting.

I think I'll just go with letting nature take it's course which may take a couple of weeks but I'd prefer that to a general anaesthetic.

I'll be back with you all in a few weeks once things get back to normal.

Hope you're all OK and just wanted to say thank you all for your good wishes it means a lot.

I think i'm due 22nd June. Had job interview at work this week and didn't get the job when i've been working really hard and have done everything they wanted. Balls.I won't be moaning on here though!

I'm only 6 + 3 and it feels like things are crawling along at the minute. Feeling very cautious due to age and the fact that i take medication which hasn't proved to be harmful in pregancy so far

Crossing everything for you all.

Claire hope all goes well today as well.

Beanie, I'm crossing fingers. I hope your body isn't being cruel. Hugs.

TGE Congratulations! You must be so excited. When are you due?

Hrrmmph. My body is playing tricks on me. yesterday afternoon when I wiped I had a very small amount of brownish gunge (TMI!) so went to bed with a sanitary towel which was clean as a whistle this morning. Been waiting all day for something to happen (period due tomorrow) but only had one small trace of brown gunge. I never really have spotting and haven't had any of the usual symptoms apart from a complete emotional melt-down on Monday.

It's about 13 DPO now and I just want my body to work so I can start back on the clomid. Or if it's not going to happen I'd like some pregnancy symptoms please! Haven't tested yet.

Thanks Beanie. I am 6 weeks today and only people told are you lot and DH! Would like to keep it secret but i work in A&E and with the swine flu, other infectious diseases etc sometimes you have to blab for safety reasons. I'm currently trying to find out about the jab and will have a look on the thread on here.

I think i will be showing quckly too, already look a bit podgey and my family are not the type who are polite enough not to ask if you are pg! We shall see. Iwould much rather have a scan under my belt but will have to go with the flow. Have also had sore boobs.

Oh that's great news thegreatescape CONGRATULATIONS to you and your DH. Do you think you will tell anyone else or are you going to keep it a secret for as long as you can?

Am about to get my period, hopefully in the next two days because it's been a killer of a slow month for me and if my body starts playing tricks on me and I go over my usual cycle length of 26 days then I will be very annoyed.

Boobs are throbbing so am assuming this is the period coming rather than pregnancy.

Wave to all. PL hope you're ok and Claire good luck for Friday. x

Hi all

I was on the 'strictly come baby dancing' thread but haven't been on for a few months. Have now got a BFP last week and am approx 6 weeks! Had to tell someone! apart from DH of course.

We'd been trying about 16 cycles and I'd had the blood tests, scan and told all was well. Word of warning about ovulation kits though. I used the digital ones from days 10-20 same time every day and got a negative every day. My cycle is fairly regular at 27-28 days so I must have ovulated but it didn't pick it up.

Good luck to all on here.

Claire, I hope all's okay with you and the baby. Let us know how it goes on Friday, I shall be thinking of you.

Jaamy Sorry you are back at the top after a hopeful delay, it's just awful the way our bodies will tease us sometimes. at your neighbours, makes you sick doesn't it!
PL So sorry to hear your news Hope DH is OK too? Really hope you won't have to wait too long for treatment. Hopefully you will get some answers when you go back this week but don't expect not to cry again, your on a highly emotional journey x
Shayer Good to see things moving in the right direction for you at last, any idea how long it will be until your first go?
Beanie How lovely of your Mum to offer to pay for IUI, bless her Wonderfully insensitive of your colleague, maybe you should have just said what you felt, that would have made her
Claire Good luck for Friday, the spotting may well be nothing to worry about, I really hope so and I will be checking on Friday for your good news

Oh Claire I hope that the scan has good results, will be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

This Cycle has been pretty much the same as the others with the usual imaginary signs starting to happen the last couple of days like slightly sore boobs etc. I didn't manage to get a positive OPK result and apart from the one show of EWCM which was possibly just pre-seed from the night before [blush} I had no signs of ovulation but did get another 21 day test (On day 19 as my cycle is short) so will have the results back next week some time. Only a month or so until I see teh consultant again and we're going to ask about IUI.

PL sorry your news from the docs was not good, I hope you can quickly get treatment. Is there any limit to the number of IUI cycles you can do? And will they do the sperm washing thing? Am thinking of you and your DH too.

Beanie your mum sounds lovely and supportive. I hope her offer won't be needed but just knowing you have that option there is great. I hope you're OK, how is this cycle going do you think?

Shayera do you know when your ICSI/IVF consultation will be?

Jaamy sorry you're back at the top and about your neighbours, it's so unfair.

I've got a scan Friday, I'll be 8 1/2 weeks by then, had a scan a couple of weeks ago and no heartbeat but was on the cusp of being too early. Have been having spotting for the last two weeks so not feeling massively hopeful about things but only time will tell.

Just updating. Jaamy have left your cycle # the same for now.

I know, I hardly know what to say myself to DH, and we're the ones going through it. I think kind thoughts are always appreciated though, so thank you very much.

I hate it when doctors are just business like. Although maybe that's a male/female thing? My DH likes his doctor because he doesn't faff around and just gets down to it. Whereas I like the more girlie, human touch!

Maybe keep your Mum's offer as an ace up the sleeve to be played if and when you need to? I'm sure she wouldn't have offered if she didn't want to help you, and if you do need it, and it did work, she'd be the best granny in the world.

PL am sorry to hear this news. Hopefully this will mean that you can get straight into IVF or IUI once you have time to think about it? I hope you get referred soon.

I wish I could do or say something more helpful than I'm thinking of you and your DH and I am so sorry it wasn't better news. Take care of eachother and don't be too hard on yourselves, though I know that's so easy to say when not going through this kind of thing myself.

My mum is lovely and I will take her up on the offer if I need to. She said it was to make up for all the things I didn't have as a child but really I had a very happy and simple childhood and I don't really want her to have to pay for something which may not even work. I have 2 more months of clomid and an appointment at the end of November where I'll ask about IUI. My Doctor is ok, just a bit business-like.

Oh, and I forgot to say, the doctor said it was very likely that the problem was caused by the tortion DH had, and said it's possible he had a lesser one too on the 'good' testicle but that wasn't picked up either at the same time or when he was a child. DH said that made him feel a little bit better about the whole thing but also told me later that this is the lowest he's ever felt in his entire life.

Hi guys, thanks so much for replying and asking after me. Doctors was today and it was pretty rubbish. She said that there were only 3% 'normal' sperm on top of there only being a quarter of the number that there normally would be, so basically we've very little hope of getting pregnant naturally.

She said it wasn't impossible but if it happened it would be akin to a miracle. DH then suggested we go to church on Sunday morning :D

Anyhow, she said to think about it over the weekend and to let her know if we'd like to be referred to a fertility clinic. Apparantly we get one shot at IVF on the NHS but there are other options too - I guess she meant IUI.

Ah well, I pretty much knew that was coming but I was so upset I hardly asked any questions at all. Poor doctor, I did proper snotty sobbing crying for about five minutes. Shay thanks for all the info, hopefully I won't be such a mess next week and will be able to ask proper questions instead of unintelligible rubbish.

Beanie your mum sounds really sweet. Do you think you'll take her up on the offer? I suppose it's a lot to think about. How many more months on Clomid can you do? What's your doctor like? Do they have any other suggestions for you?

PL - Hope you're ok. Is it today you go to the doctor?

Had lunch with my mum today and she has said she will help me if I want to have IUI - I am really grateful but I feel really guilty too. I sometimes forget how much my miscarriage upset her, she found it really hard to see me so upset and I guess she lost a potential granchild as much as I did a potential baby

Just had a woman in the office who suffers from horrendous endometriosis which has meant several operations and hopitalisation. Anyway - she's pregnant. Was telling my work mate all about 'a fertility drug called Clomid' and how it worked first time etc etc. I am so pleased for her but just knew that as soon as she left my work mate would say something ... She did 'See beanieb, it gives you hope doesn't it' .... hrmph. Not really it doesn't. I got pregnant on clomid after 18 months of trying and niscarried and haven't got pregnant since ... she got pregnant first time on clomid and hasn't miscarried... so it doesn't give me hope at all!

And this is meant to be the good part of my cycle.

Sorry to be in such a grump. Hope all are ok?

Hey PL - here's what I know, although not sure if you're further along with the process than me.

In order to get the OK for IVF I've had to have tests as well - scans, lap & dye, blood tests etc. I don't know about number of eggs but the fact that I have them and they arrive at the right time appeared to be enough for the NHS.

Berks used to have the starting age for IVF as 35 - therefore seems unlikely that 34 would present you with a major problem, although guess in our kind of boat there's no benefit to waiting (could take a while etc.)

I don't know much more than that yet - waiting for first proper consultation about IVF ICSI and then will know more, but I don't think you need to worry.

I think the not talking is a normal male reaction - DH took the whole thing very personally, very difficult for him to accept that the problem was with him (although apparently wouldn't have been an issue if it had been me... go figure).

Hi PL. I'm really sorry to hear that you are so worried about this and am still hoping you get some decent news on Friday.

If the number of eggs you have is something you want to ask, then do so. If you would like to be checked out then you should ask about that too - you need to make it as easy as possible for DH's little guys. It might vary from region to region as to which test they will carry out but you don't know unless you ask. I'm sure you'll think of other things before Friday and the girls here will have some ideas too. I don't have any experience of IVF but perhaps you could post on an IVF thread to see if there is anything else you should consider, if that is the route that you are advised to take on Friday. x

Alternatively you could just move in next door to me as that seems to be baby-making central. DH has just found out that she is pg with DC4 with DC3 1yo next month (This will be DC5 for him). They have screaming rows, throw things at each other and she often makes comments about not even liking him or his family, never mind loving him - her very own words. They making no secret of the fact that they don't speak to each other for long periods of time and usually as one arrives home, the other goes out. He goes on holiday by himself or with the lads every 6 weeks or so because she can't stand to go with him. It makes me very sad that they are bringing another child into this mess when (I think) that we have a loving home and can offer another baby so much and get can't have one.

Hey Jaamy, sorry to see you back at the top. HPTs always do the trick for me too

Thank you for the buckets of positive vibes. I'm really worried and hardly slept last night. DH in the meantime won't really discuss it. I think he thinks it's his fault... obviously I've told him it's not and that it's just one of those things and that we'll get through it together.

I was wondering, can you think of any good questions I should be asking the doctor? I read an article in the Times yesterday which said that one of the considerations as to whether to start IVF or not should be how many 'quality' eggs a woman has left. I hadn't really thought of that before - as I'm 'only' 34 and my mum started menopause in her early 40s I've always thought that there was a fair amount of time but now I'm wondering whether I should ask about that as well?

Also do you think I should ask for tests on me too? Just because DH's swimmers are few and far between and are lazy little beggars, doesn't mean my eggies are any better does it.

Isn't it ironic (is that the right thing to say?) for years DH wouldn't agree to starting a family and finally he agrees and now it's a PITA. Grrrr. Why isn't anything simple.

PL - sending you and DH a huge bucketful of positive vibes. I really hope that DH's little men are good quality, it only takes one, you know and at least if you know what you're up against things can be addressed. Have you got plenty of things planned until fri to keep both your minds busy? x

Buddha - lovely to hear from you. Sorry that DH was made redundant but kind of glad he is there to look after you and your poorly back. Good that babybuddha is doing well - when are you due?

Claire - how are you? Hope things have settled down and you are taking it easy with bean.

beanie - rooting for you as always!

Did a HPT on Sat which kind of sealed my fate!! Don't know who I was kidding. Not sure my cycle# is right. Will have a think and get back.

Hey Buddha lovely to see you and sorry to hear about your DH's job .

Claire - hope you are ok. I only saw the update on your other thread last night. Hope that you're taking care of yourself.

Any news Jaamy - crossing my fingers for you.

Wave to Blackrock and to her DH for doing his bit Me and mine didn't really make up until the day after so am not sure if I have missed it this month I am not even sure when I ovulated as I don't know if the massive show of EWCM was pre-seed or not. OPK's have been useless. Anyway - if fertility friend is correct I ovulated on Thursday and we had sex on wednesday and Friday so maybe I will be in luck.

Blackrock Glad to see you "persuaded" DH

I am still lurking when I can girls, RL has taken over quite a bit, DH was made redundant, he's got a temp job but hates it and the money is crap so bit stressful in our household tbh. Also got problems with my back due to growing buglet baby! But hey ho that's life and I am very grateful that I am in pain (if that makes sense ) I just want the rest of you girls to be in my position too x

Hope everyone is OK and Jaamy hoping you have good news for us.

PL how are things with you?

Still no sign of anything here after (more than) spotting at the beginning of the week. 28 day cycle is normal for me, though so will see what happens over the weekend.

Hope everyone's week is going nicely.

Oh beanie !

DH did his bit

Am thinking maybe what I thought was ewcm was actually pree-seed from last night doh!

Be optimistic! It's a good thing. Hope is what keeps us going, after all...

Fantastic news, Shayera! So, your next appt will be just before Christmas. Here's to a great 2010 for you! x

Yes, voice of reason is keeping me from getting too excited...but can't help being a bit optimistic.

Ooh, I missed Claire's BFP! How exciting! Many congratulations. And also to Lou

Back from the hospital today - cyst was nothing ominous, just plain old dermoid, everything else is in working order and Berks have now lowered the age limit to 30-34 so we get one free shot @ IVF ICSI with 45% chance of success. So good week all round, other than the pain (lap & dye NO FUN.) Next appt in 2 months - need to get back on the weight loss thoroughly, as although consultant says a BMI of 28 shouldn't be a barrier I want to get under 25 just in case.

Jaamy - voice of reason says that if you were late last month then maybe that's just how your cycle's going now, and that it's always best not to get your hopes up and that sometimes cycles have odd bleeding. Voice of non-reason wishes to point out we've had BFP's on this thread before from people who did the deed once that month at the wrong time.

beanie - jump him . It's a good way of apologising for having pissed him off (whether your fault or not!), and a great destresser!

Thanks Beanie - don't know what to make of it all. Wait, I guess, again!!!!

Gosh it must be something in the air, all these marital rifts. Grit your teeth and ask your DH for a good old seeing to. What's the worst he can he say??? No? You'll be kicking yourself if you don't and this could be THE ONE!!

Blackrock - hey how are you??? Any feelings about your luck this month? Did DH do his bit, yet?

Oh Beanie....know your exact sentiments. Positive though in that it sounds like you have a healthy chance this cycle

OH GOD! I have just had the hugest anount of EWCM ever, have been taking cough medicine because of the clomid. Trouble is that I have managed to piss my DH off plus he's extremely stressed with work and so, unless I ask him outright for a shag and tell him why, I very much doubt we'll be getting it on tonight! meh! grrrr I hate this. Maybe the fact we did it last night means it'll be ok but then I have a smear on Thursday so was planning on not having sex on Wednesday so I feel like I have to tonight! Bah and double Bah.

Jaamy I have never had implantation or mid cycle bleeding so am not sure what to advise but am crossing my fingers for you. I know what it's like though when you don't want to get your hopes up.

Zen - how wonderful! A pink one!!! Enjoy the last few months of your pg and stay well. x

Hope this is right...

I need a bit of support from you ladies, please. I had a bit of bleeding yesterday morning (CD24) more than I would class as spotting (I thought AF had arrived early and used a tampon) but for me to have a 24 day cycle is completely unheard of. I have been checking and checking all yesterday and today. No more bleeding. I have cramps, but no more bleeding.

Now, ordinarily I would be convinced that that was an "implantation bleed" because that is what I do every month when symptom obsessing and then be horrendously disappointed when I don't get a BFP. However, we have only BD once this month, (first day after AF finished) due to mad decorating/DIY schedule to get house ready for putting up for sale. PLEASE tell me not to get my hopes up, that my body is once again playing cruel jokes on me like last month when AF appeared 2 days late.

DH and I aren't speaking at the moment due to some stupid car related incident (I think, though it is hard to tell when he gets in one of his sulks - he is currently ripping up bathroom floor so he must be in a bad mood!) Though he knows I had bleeding yesterday and hasn't enquired any further.

So, I need to hear your voices of reason before I get carried away and buy a load of babygrows!!!....

Sorry about the post x

Hey everyone , just thought id congratulate Lou, was due some more BFP's!!

Just wanted to update everyone as I often think of you all , i hope your all ok and hope somewhere deep down you have the strentgh to carry on TTC and eventually getting your BFP.

Believe it or not im now 28 weeks pregnant, how time flies when your having fun eh?? We are due on 10th Jan so not to long away now and were having........... a little girl!! Have not posted details before now as have not wanted to tempt fate as you can understand.Were very excited now and actually had a 4d scan on sat which has made everything a bit more real and let us now enjoy this time xx Its taken a while but we are getting there.

Thinking of you guys xxxxxxx

Oh, Very BIG congratulations to you, Lou! Thanks for coming back to let us know and giving us all some hope. Take care of you and bean and pop back and let us know how you're getting on. x

Beanie - I'm sorry. You really deserve to get your BFP but that's not the way life works, is it? Please don't say that there is no point in carrying on TTC. You've already proved you can get pg. Take it one month at a time...I know you've been doing that for a while now but loads of women don't have their first children until they are over 40 so you still have plenty of time. I think you should book a big holiday somewhere, odds are you'll get a BFP and have horrendous ms and not enjoy the holiday at all but you wouldn't care as long as you had your bean. Will give you something to look forward to and think about other than TTC. Go on, spoil yourself. You definitely deserve it. x

Shayera - Hello lovely lady! Glad you've been enjoying not TTC. Hope your "spring clean" goes well this week and your bits will be thoroughly cleared and raring to go. Hope Mr Hol gets on ok, too. x

Hello to everyone else, hope all ok. x

Congratulations Lou that's wonderful news, so very pleased for you!

Hi ladies,

After Polycystic Ovaries,a Colposcopy, 2 MC's and several months of Clomid I finally got here.
Just wanted to let you know (those who remember me) that i am 11 weeks pregnant today and although I had a ittle bleed this week we have had a scan and been told everything should be ok. Nice strong heartbeat and right size for my dates.

I know I'm a random visitor, but this journey has been long and painful and I have often just come on to read how people are doing but not said anything.
Just wanted to say thanks again for all the good wishes and support. It has always helped to know you are not alone.

I really hope that all the people who are still here get their BFP's really soon. Good luck everyone,

love Lou xxx

Hey ladies,

V quick check in from me - had a lovely 3 months off thinking about baby stuff , but next week is the big bad d-day - cyst removal, lap & dye and something else for me & Mr Hol's appointment with the geneticist. By next Friday we know if we can try IVF or not. Then just have to work out timings etc. as not sure if Berks have lowered the age yet.

No idea what cycle I'm on any more - yes, it really has been that relaxed! Guess around 25. But am day 3 anyways, so can someone update me on the next round?

Have I missed anything exciting?

Just called the IVF people to ask about having a scan to check the Clomid isn't giving me any cysts and they said that I would have to 'fund it yourself' WTF. Apparently they will only scan me again when the 6 months is up! Here's hoping I don't have any Cysts then!

Have booked an appointment for the end of November to discuss my options beyond the Clomid. Not sure there's any point getting a higher dose really. Infact I am not sure there is any point carrying on trying at all

hope all are good.

Pistachio, sorry to hear about your dh results, but at least you can tackle it now!! I am sort of excited for you, bc that was what our problem was and after dh had surgery, it wasn't a problem to get pregnant anymore!! Do they know about the cause?

Beanie just seen sorry she got you hope you are OK today.

Just updating, Claire I am just adding days to your cycle because I don't want to remove you or graduate you before you're ready

Day 26 for me and my period is tomorrow.

PL I'm sorry it isn't better news

I think beanies advice is excellent and all you can do for now, reassure him etc and look up what can be done - DP looked in to this all a few months ago and there are things that you can work on like diet etc. Fingers crossed for the quality results and take care x

beanie keeping fingers crossed for your sore norks being a good sign

Thanks Claire and Beanie. Well it's not great news to be honest. The volume is less than 50% of what there should be and mobility isn't great...and we still need to wait until next Friday for the quality check to be available. I'm trying to be positive for DHs sake, but to be honest, between us lot only, I'm not holding out much hope

Beanie, I'm crossing fingers for you. Try and hold out as long as possible before testing.

PLx

PL, hope everything is ok?
Crossing my fingers for you too.
If there is an issue with your DH's sample then get them to repeat it if they can and also if he does think it's his 'fault' or problem try to be positive and stress that at least now you can work towards correcting the issue. There will hopefully be things you can do to improve the situation.

Hope it's all ok.

My boobs are throbbing and have been for a couple of days so either my period is coming or something good might be about to happen. I stupidly did a test yesterday. Far too early and obviously negative. I have just bought two more cheapie Sainsbury ones and am going to try to hold off until Monday morning. I've been getting my DH to poke them and tell me if they seem bigger or firmer but he thinks not.

I will hold your hand. I hope it is just as you say, results back early. Fingers crossed for you both.

Guys I'm so nervous right now. Please come and virtually hold my hand and tell me it'll all be okay.

We had a call from the doctor this morning asking if DH could go in this evening at 5pm about his sperm test results. He did the test on Wednesday morning and they said the results wouldn't be back until next Friday.

I'm hoping it's just come back early and the doctor wants to set our minds at ease, but I'm so scared it's bad news. DH doesn't want me to come with him either so I'm just sitting around waiting for this evening now.

DH is quite keen to get going once my period is finished though

But DH went for his test this morning so that's good news

Don't worry - I'm OK - in fact you inspired me to start a thread asking for any advice. Like I say my dsil carried my niece to full term so DP and I have agreed to think positive

Oh I hope I haven't upset you by bringing it up. Am so excited for you. Try not to stress.

I don't know beanie - both the doctor scanning me and then the gynae consultant going through the notes said mc chances higher but not always the outcome.

My sil has a bicornuate uterus and her pregnancy with niece was fine except breach and needing a c-section.

The gynae did say that there is a procedure to correct the shape of my uterus and that if I get to three mc's he will refer me to a specialist in London. They say these things 'after three miscarriages' in such an offhand way as if expecting someone to start a pregnancy knowing it is highly likely to end in mc is not unreasonable.

Oh well, I am just getting myself upset thinking of it. I may work at home tomorrow and see if the GP can see me.

Claire, I just looked up bicornuate uterus, can they do anything to help you along with the pregnancy?

BFP this morning. Feel so shaky and shocked it has happened after so long. And worried about mc again with age and my bicornuate uterus. But happy for now.

Hi,

sorry it's getting to you too, even if perfectly understandable. btw, I read a paper where they gave women with unexplained infertility baby aspirin ( I think 53mg?), and it helped quite a lot of them to get pregnant. I took some too when I conceived, but of course have no idea whether it helped or no. Anyway, can't harm though i thought.

Hang in there! Hugs to all.

can't understand why I am on here at 3 am, specially as I am tired after a fraught day and not much sleep last night.

Managed to work myself up into another 'it's never going to happen' tizz today everyone seems so much luckier than me. Should I just give up. Such a long wait until I can test too.

Some people are just so insensitive or maybe I am just so over-sensitive.

hope I have updated this ok.

Hi PL & Beanie - I rang the centre I saw her in and they got her to call me back. Apparently it is fine in the quantities given. The cramps were very mild and quite short. It could be because my period is due, I think due next Tuesday. Thanks for your advice. Am keeping taking it for now because would really like the mid cycle bleeding to stop and also I get spotting for quite a few days before AF which is quite a recent development.

Hi Claire, well I'd probably go back to the herbalist and ask her about it - say about the contraction and about what you've read and see what she says. Then you can decide whether to continue taking it or not.

How bad was the cramp? When I was taking agnus Castus I had cramp a bit but not very badly. If she has said only take them up to ovulation then that's ok but I wouldn't take them after just incase you do get pregnant.

Blackrock and Jammy sorry you're back at the top. How long do we all have to keep waiting?

Went to see the medical herbalist last night - she couldn;t see anything obvious that may have caused my hormones to be acting up. She hasn't given me agnus castus but what she has given me has motherwort in - can you have a look at this link if you have a moment please and tell me honestly - would you take that?

'It should be avoided in pregnancy as large amounts may cause uterine contraction and potential miscarriage.'

I took it last night when I got in and I immediately had a cramp - within 30 mins. This was before I googled what she had given me. Haven't taken any today.

Updated, hope it's right. Blackrock MEH! sorry to see you at the top again.

Am feeling miffed because I went to see a friend at lunchtime who started thrusting evening class booklets at me and telling me that perhaps if I took my mind off things I might get pregnant. As I left she asked me if I would adopt. What annoys me is it took her 18 months to conceive her first child so she should surely know what it's like. Or maybe she just suffered in silence

Anyway - and trying to be relaxed this month despite one or two issues here and there.

Hope all are well?

Oh pooh, Blackrock! One thing at a time, cycle length sorted. DH next... You'll get there. x

We are moving. Well, having the house valued, looking at possible new houses, etc. Have decided that if we throw ourselves into a new project something might creep up on us.

Hope everyone ok?

Sorry to hear this Jaamy.

I had my scan, all normal, two eggs spotted, about to launch. Twenty five day cycle predicted from scan, so maybe in with a chance this month ? Day 23...dodgy stomach, so looks like its on its way, but a better length cycle.

Do you still get symptoms of AF if your are PG ? I am not going to spend more money on tests until after day 25.....

DH still needs to do his bit...

Oh, Jaamy, that's terrible. Hugs.

and

Had to go down the baby aisle in Tesco to get some sterilising tabs and had a little cry.

No news here. I was on a course today and was going to the loo so much for knicker checking that I'm sure everyone thought I had a problem! Am a bit emotional today, though so think AF is on the way and been playing a very horrid trick on me.

Will test tomorrow am and report back. Am quite nervous because I think this might be our last chance.

Hope Mrs and Mr Beanie are having a lovely shagathon!

Ei - yes, we are in good company here. Though I won't be sorry to see any of you lovely ladies graduate. HOw did the interview go, Ei?

Happy Friday night, everyone.

Hi EI, sorry also to hear you have hit 2 years. I will hit it next month, though I have done more than 24 cycles because they are so short.

I had EWCM today so here's to me doing lots of shagging

Hope I have updated these ok, I am on CD 11

xx ei xx

Thanks girls, I'm hoping that I will be jammy this month and finally get a sticky bean.

Still no sign of anything and I have been quite regular lately. Knowing my luck AF has been waiting to make an appearance because I've dared to do some exercise this month! Resisting the urge to test until the weekend when I will be 3 days overdue.

Claire - good luck with the herbalist. Hope they have something effective and not too weird and wonderful (though if it does the business, who cares!) at the same time.

I was having reflexology when I conceived DD1 after 4 years of TTC. But that was also shortly after a HCG so may or may not have helped. Was lovely and relaxing anyway!

Beanie - let's hope the cycling works...and the clomid. God to hear you've got more stock in, even though we know you won't need it all.

PL - hope you are merrily bonking away!

Good luck Jaamy! I always type Jammy even though I'm thinking Jaamy, then have to go back and change it. Brain and fingers not connected.

PL hope you get that 3rd bar soon, and an egg :D that is so sweet! I just use the clearblue digital wee sticks. What else does the CBFM monitor? Apart from wee?

Beanie glad you got some more clomid! Will you have an appointment with them soon to review things? Is there a limited number of clomid cycles you can have? Fingers crossed for you.

I have booked in to see a medical herbalist for next Tuesday, so see how that goes!

Jaamy - good luck. Crossing my fingers for you.

PL get bonking just incase. I remember my first time using the CBFM I didn't get a peak for ages.

My cycling is going well. Been cycling into work. A bit of me is doing it because when I got pregnant last time it was during a week when I had cycled to work almost everfy day.

Also go to more Clomid so have that to take up to December. After that I'm not sure what we do.

Claire - I did have reflexology. About twice a month. I'm not sure if it really did anything for me though. I also took agnus castus but nothing really happened though it did lengthen my cycle slightly.

Yep, two bars = imminent ov (ish - it's been two bars for ages now). Three bars plus eggie symbol mean get bonking right now, you are about to / have just ovulated.

But holy crappola, I forgot to pee on the stick this morning!

Claire - thanks for tidying up the list. Hopefully all the names you removed are now suffering sleepless night with their new arrivals

Shayera - missing you! Hope you and Mr Hol are doing ok, wherever you are and just taking some time out.

I know Ei is alive and well but don't think she has any news, or if she has, she's keeping it secret!

And Glasto has been popping in form time to time, too.

we seem to have lost Jamiejay but I think I have seen her on another TTC thread so hopefully she will come back and let us know if she has any news.

Hello!

Just a little update on the stats as I commence my knicker watching. Don't feel premenstual but then again, I never really feel premenstrual. Not had my usual stomping and bad mood as usual a week or so before AF, so am hopeful...but not too hopeful, just incase!

I too am completely in the dark about the CBFM but hope it is pointing you in the right direction, PL*.

*Claire - hope you are not dwelling too much on 2 years ago but looking forward to whatever the future holds. x

It is a year ago this week that I had my last miscarriage. The year has gone so fast and seems to have been filled with lots of new babies...for other people.

Gosh, we all seem to be on a bit of a fitness drive - beanie cycling again, PL out walking and I am back on the excercise bike (I don't own a real one, DH says it is too dangerous round here!)

Hi all

PL glad you had a good weekend I've never used the CBFM - does 2 bars mean ov is imminent?

Beanie how was your meeting with your friend?

I have been pondering taking agnus castus as the gynae said my irregular bleeding is likely to be hormonal. I have found a herbalist near me and just need to take the plunge and book something - it's £40 for a consultation. The alternative therapy centre it is at also does reflexogy which I have wondered about. I know beanie tried it not so long ago. I think will try the herbalist first though.

Morning everyone. I had a brilliant weekend with a party on Saturday night and massive walk on Sunday. We got a bit lost though and ended up having to dive through hedges (again). I need to get better at map reading!

So today is CD17 and there are still two bars on the CBFM, but at least that matches my temp which hasn't started to go up yet. Or at least I think it does... as an experiment I've decided to 'adjust' my tempteratures to see if it makes any difference. Most days I take it at 6am but some days it's a bit later. I've always been curious to see whether that really makes a difference (I know it is supposed to) and having adjusted it, it makes for a much flatter graph with less jumping around.

Beanie, sorry to see you back at the top again.

morning Claire and everyone else.

Or is it afternoon now? I am off on my bike today, going to cycle to see my mum. Part of my new attempts to get fit. I used to cycle every day but haven't really kept it up since I learned to drive. After that should be meeting with my pregnant friend.

Wish me luck and have a great weekend everyone!

Friday! Anyone got any nice weekend plans?

Have updated the list and removed the BFP's from 2008 as I figure they're probably not bumps anymore. Does anyone mind?

Ei, Glasto, Shayera, JamieJay, Lou - any updates?

Claire sorry to hear this is two years since the miscarriage. Sending you my thoughts.

Have just called the IVF people who gave me Clomid to ask about making an appointment only to be told I can't see them until November! called back and Kicked up a bit of a fuss and they have told me they can just write a repeat prescription - phew!

Hugs to all and thanks for the good wishes. I spent last night in the hospital screaming with pain sigh but they couldn't figure out what was going on besides of some weird things that didn't make sense and send me home again. I am earning this.

That said, I have to get bossy now (hormonal crazy lady, so is my good right) and say: will you ALL send your DHs to the doctor immeadiately to have him wank in a cup! It took me 2 years of agony to conceive dd1 becuase dh was trying to get away without, then he had an in-out minor bloody little operation, and I got pregnant after 2 and 3 months the next two times (one mc). Half the cases, its dh that needs a fertility boost.

Embarrassed? My ass. NOTHING compared to what we go through fiddeling with exams and charts and timing sex and meds and crap. Really.

Good thinking re day 6, I'll do that (well, day 7 now)

Blackrock that does sound quite fascinating to have them know - although I completely agree with being a mechanical when it has to be a certain day.

Blimey cycle 26 it is two years this week since I miscarried

morning Blackrock, it sucks doesn't it! Glad the scan went well, what did they see?
Good luck for tonight

Claire - you could say day 6 as a compromise? Unless it was barely there until day 3?

Beanie, know how you feel about dates.

Scan was brilliantly positive and the nice lady said do it last night (day ten), tonight or day 13.

BD on day 10, DH away on day 11, then away on day 12.....tonight is the night, but it may be too late .....so planned !!!! but also amusing in a strange way.

Am not sure what to do. he is going away on CD 15. There's a chance we might be able to catch it in time but if my ovulation changes because of the clomid then we're stuck. Plus we have a freind of his staying here the whole of that week.

I just think there's no point even trying. Plus I HATE with a passion the fact that we now have to organise our sex life around certain dates.

beanie I am sorry I hope that this month (or if DP is away at crucial time, then next month) you will be lucky, I really do it's rotten and I know just how you feel, it is much worse and more depressing when you've recently had a mc. Take heart and have some hugs.

I should update the list for me but I can't decide what CD I'm on. Period started in a slight way last Wednesday but didn't get heavy until Friday. Not sure if I am on CD 7 or 5 really. I started using a mooncup a few months ago and it makes it much harder to judge iyswim.

On the plus side we had a lovely relaxing week in Brittany last week which was very nice.

Oh Beanie! Huge hugs. I know not much consolation. Now at least you can work out when you should BD the month after next when DH is around and you are back on the clomid. Seems stupid that they don't provide any counselling or advice with the clomid instead of just handing it out, patting you on the head and saying "off you trot". They should at least give you enough to be able to work out your cycles, etc.

PL - sorry to hear DH cancelled. Maybe he heard us talking about him?! Well at least he has motivation to make sure things happen before he has to re-schedule.

well there we are then, this accounts for my terrible depressed state.

AW he cancelled! Here's hoping that you don't have to go and congrats on the weight loss

It's exciting when you get the 2 bars eh?

Still no period for me so I tested last night - I know it's silly time of day to do it but ho hum. Anyway - it was negative so along with the fact that I have no symptoms at all I recon the clomid delayed my ovulation (which means we had sex at the 'wrong' time) and this is making me late. This means that there's no point taking the Clomid next month as my DH will be away at the critical time so it's a month without next month before trying again. After that who knowa, back to IVF Wales I suppose to ask for more Clomid. I've not seen them for a couple of months and am worried that perhaps I should be in contact more?

Trying not to feel down (really aware this just brings the whole thread down) but there are various other factors which I can't get out of my head at the moment and which are making me depressed. Not least the fact that every other bugger is about to have a baby or about to start making their next one which no doubt they will manage without any hassle at all. My sister (Who is two years older than me) is talking about having kids and I really really hope she does because she would be a great mum. However a little bit of me thinks wouldn't it be just typical if she manages it straight away and how will I cope if she does. She's not starting to try yet but I know it's on the cards...

P.S. DH has predictably cancelled the test. Ah well. He says he'll re-schedule for later in the month so we have plenty of time to get jiggy in between. I think he's hoping that he won't have to go!

P.P.S. I lost a bit more weight... woohoo!

Hi guys, just a quickie today to let you know I got two bars on the CBFM I'm so excited, I was thinking it maybe wouldn't work.

Tell you what though, if I get this excited over two little bars, god knows what I'll be like when the little eggie appears.! Woohoo!

Hi all - sorry for not posting for ages. Have been away on and off over the summer but am back now! Hope you are all well and staying positive.

We had our first scan a couple of weeks ago and all was well which was such a relief. The first trimester was very different from the one I had had before and so I worked myself up quite a lot. But ultimately it was all good news and the baby is due on 13 February. Anyway I guess that means that I can graduate (can't believe I can finally say that ...). Wow!

Blackrock, in response to your DH's worries, I just wanted to share our experience with you. We had been TTC for over a year before I finally fell pregnant. The cycle before we had both gone for tests and while there were some minor issues with my hormone levels the consultant thought that the issue may be with DH whose motility levels were very low with lots of abnormal shapes. She put him on some antibiotics, gave him some "lifestyle" advice (no booze, less stress etc etc) and I put him on some fertility vitamins. Lo and behold the next cycle I fell pregnant. I have no idea if that is what did it but it really is worth a try and so worth knowing what you are dealing with.

At the end of the day it doesn't matter whose "fault" it is - hopefully neither of you would blame the other if there was a problem - and your DH shouldn't worry about what he would discover if he had the test. Just like you shouldn't worry either. Either way you will both still love and support each other.

Hope I have updated this correctly? We seem to have a few people going beyond 30 days so maybe we will have some BFPs?

I am on day 29 and I have no tests! Am going to try to resist even buying any because I am sure it's just the clomid making me late. I have no symptoms apart from an ache in my abdomen which could just be my period about to come.

If I get to Wednesday and nothing then I will test again.

So, we've tried the every day approach, now we are doing the every other day thing to see what happens. Still a couple of days let in my "window"!

beanie - heap loads of luck (actually, more justice than luck, if that makes sense??!!!) that you will still be without AF tomorrow.

blackrock - here's hoping the scan is ok and that DH has lost his wobble. Don't forget to rush back and let us know how you got on. Will they let you know there or will you have to wait for another appt??

PL - happy peeing and good luck for DH on Tues - I'm sure he's delighted to know we're all rooting for him! When my DH had his test they let him do it at home as long as it was kept at body temp and taken to the hosp within the hour. Oh, fond memory of driving down the M62 with a pot of "stuff" tucked in my knickers!! Can't quite remember what excuse I used for being late into work that day but I'm sure it was quite inventive!!

buddha - thank you for your very kind, sweet words. It is good to have a deadline. The theory is that I will come to terms with it...eventually and in the meantime will become some fantastic marketing mogul to make up for it. We'll see.

How are things with you? All well and good, I hope.

comma - ((((hugs)))). The eye blindness sounds terrible. Is there anything they can do once baby has arrived? Though I'm not belittling your eye problem, you know that all this is worth it in the end, even to read Humpty Dumpty 200 times. Above everything you sound knackered! Can you leave DD with someone overnight/weekend to give you some rest? It is so hard coping with pg and a toddler too. I had similar AND before DD1 and when the GP could't give me anything he got me some counselling really quickly. I'm not a fan of counselling but was willing to try anything. Seemed to help. I hope things pick up for you. Don't forget to come back to show off your new arrival when he/she comes. We love success stories.

Right ladies - according to the list we haven't had a BFP since June. Prior to that we were getting at least one a month. By my reckoning that means we are due THREE BFPs this month! No pressure. Stand by your beds (or lie on them, whichever is most comfy) and DO YOUR STUFF!!!

hey there Blackrock. I would love a cuppa

Day 28 and still no period here. So on high alert for tomorrow.

Massive amounts of luck being sent your way for the scan. Good to hear things are moving along and that it looks like DH is going to have the test.

I'm much like you in that I probably won't go any further than Clomid. x

Just made a cup of tea and some banana and chocolate muffins. Please share them with me as I think we all need to sit down and have a relaxing chat.

The thread feels a bit low, and not surprising really as everyone is impatiently waiting, hoping or making difficult decisions.

I have a scan apppointment tomorrow, so wish me luck that it's all straight forward and functioning... when the app. came through DH asked me about his test, so think he has changed his mind, on the basis that they are going to check to see if we are both functioning.

We've decided, as we have one lovely DS, that we won't go further than clomid. Hopefully, this will do the trick.

Now we know what we want to do, I feel much better and I think DH does too.

Oh girls I wish I could wave a magic wand or even a more unromantic big shitty stick and get you all what you want
You all deserve so much more happiness than what you have at the moment, you all made me cry (bloody horror-mones)!!!
Jaamy I can't change your decision but I hope it brings you some peace, and maybe just maybe without all the pressure a BFP will just sneak up on you?
Beanie I'll be watching and waiting to see what happens with this cycle, come on clomid!
PL Good luck for Tuesday, I think as Beanie said making a joke of it is probably the best way of dealing with it. Maybe he wants to go on his own coz he's who knows how our men think
Comma Sorry to hear things aren't too good for you at the moment How much longer til your EDD? Are you able to take anything for the depression?
Big weekend waves to everyone else

hey comma, I know what you mean. I just spent 20 minutes watching the 5 year old daughter of one of my best mate having a complete meltdown because she wasn't allowed to come for lunch with us! I asked her if she fancied any more kids and she said she'd rather stab herself in the eye

Hope you are ok and not too depressed by the pregnancy lows.

Oh no, I feel really bad about what I wrote but can't delete. I just wished I'd been a bit more zen about it when I was ttc, but what applies to me does not apply at all to the next person. Sorry again.

Hi girls,
oh man, I'm so sorry about everybody feeling down...what can I say, try to not... life still feels like an unfair crap shoot once you have kids. I don't know....I might be going blind on one eye bc of pregnancy, not to talk about being in so much pain I cry every night etc, and still having to get up bright and early to take care without a break of my darling daughter and read humpty dumpty with a smile for the 200est time even though i want to be in bed, crying with the cover over my head... I love them more than anything, but there are plenty of times when I long very much for my old life...haha, sorry, I'm sure you'll hate me for this, but that's prenatal depression for you. Can't wait for postpartum, yikes. Sorry everybody. I hated posts like these when I was ttc. just want to say not to think life isn't worth living without kids if it doesn't happen.

I went with my DH. We had to go to the clinic at the hospital and I stayed in the waiting room while he did his biz. he seemed quite keen to do it but took longer than I thought he would so maybe the pressure was on a bit. Hope you get it sorted and he does do it. Not sure what to suggest but maybe just chat about it a bit with him. We found the whole thing quite amusing so joked a lot about it which kind of took the heat off.

Am kicking myself for testing this morning (BFN) because now I am clinging on to the hope that I might be in the same situation as when I got pregnant before and just not far gone enough. I didn't get a BFP until day 30 last time. Last month my cycle was 28 days I think, and I wasn't on Clomid, which is quite long for me. This month (on clomid) I am up to day 27. Usual cycle is more like 25 days.

wah!!!

got, it should be got, not go...aaarrrghhh

Monitor's great thanks Beanie... am on to peeing on sticks every day which is novel

My walk to the pub was wonderful - lots of Sunshire, birds singing, loveliness. Ahhh. When I go there I called DH who was working and he came and joined me... it was a win win situation which I'm thinking of repeating today.

DH has his sperm test on Tuesday, but I'm not convinced he's going to go. He says he wants me to go into work as usual and that he'll (ahem) deal with it himself. But I know he's so busy with work (he's working again all weekend - for the third weekend in a row) and also a bit frightened of the test that it's probably likely to fall by the wayside. My plan is to do gentle reminders maybe once or twice and then leave it...do you think that's a good idea? I've never been in this situation before and don't want to put too much pressure on the poor guy.

Hey Jaamy
sorry to hear you've had a bad time this month. I have prepared my DH for next week when I will probably be doing the same kind of weeping and wailing. I hope you don't have to decide to give up. I am wondering the same but don't know how I will ever be able to stop that hopeful feeling each month.

PL how is the monitor going?

lou are you still about? How are things with you?

Hello all!

Sorry forgot to update. Was really gutted this month. Lots of weeping and wailing and staying up all night trying to make sense of things. DH and I now have a plan in hand. Bit long winded to go into here but basically we have decided to give ourselves until the end of the year and then give up. Either way I can then make plans about work/home/life and MOVE ON.

PL - hope the walk and pub went well and managed to blow away some of the fed up feeling.

Blackrock - good to see the tests are progressing. Hope it won't be too long before you have some answers.

Beanie - hoping clomid has done the trip again this month. Did you make the consultant appt? How great would the cancelling-the-appointment phone call be?

PS you can still travel the world with a baby!

Back from a very muddy camping expedition yesterday so washing the mud encrusted everything today. When did BD in a tent get so uncomfortable? Used to do it all the time. Guess am just getting old !

Anyone with any news? PL sorry to see you back at the top but not long now until you can start using the monitor

Lou - how are things with you?

Hey Beanie. I was a bit fed up this morning too but I'm about to set off on a walk - which ends at the pub - so that has cheered me up.

Maybe you should make an appointment with the consultant - it might cut down the waiting time if, as you say, the clomid doesn't work, and if it does work (which I'm still hoping it will) then you can always cancel.

ho de hum. am so fed up with the waiting. Feeling low today as I can see that people all around me are popping babies out or selfishly gearing up to have the next one, which no doubt they will achieve without hassle and then rub in my face ... actually I know that's not true but still, it makes me feel a bit crappy all over again.

I am thinking I might make an appointment to see the consultant at the fertility unit just to see where we should go if this round of clomid doesn't work. They only gave me three months so maybe I need to get another three months or maybe I need to think seriously about giving up on the dreram of kids and spending all my money on traveling the world and becoming interesting or something.

hope all ok.

PS was about to ask when the midcycle scan is. Doh, that would be errrmmm, in about two weeks. Glad to see your DH is perhaps softening to the idea of sperm tests. My DHs sperm test is on the 8th so not long to go now.

Sorry to see you back at the top Blackrock. I shall be joining you tomorrow - I've been having progressively heavier spotting today. Which means the Clearblue fertility monitor is coming out to play in the morning

Am hating this 2ww. Probably due about 7th September and it seems like ages away.

Thanks for support. Managed to get him to read the information that came when the appointment was made. After this he was more specific about not wanting IVF type intervention, which would be some time off anyway as we are at the very beginning of being investigated, so bit more positive.

Think it may be cold feet too. Hopefully by looking at us both they will be able to help us if there is a problem.

Oh Blackrock, that's really sad. Do you think he may be persuaded? I think that's terribly mean of him. Is he maybe scared that he may discover the 'problem' is him?

I do hope that you are able to talk to him about this and persuade him otherwise.

Oh no Blackrock...tell him that a low sperm count or other abnormailties can be a sign of stuff besides fertility that might have to be treated (like a varicocele causing testerone levels to slowly decrease over time--no good!).

Paha, swollen ankles, I wished. But will by no means discourage the effort. It's all worth it.

Blackrock - hope that DH is just having cold feet at the thought of being scrutinised and will see sense shortly. Is it possible he was just having a bad day? Or perhaps he is seeing the stress TTC is putting you under and is trying to take the pressure off for another baby?

Hope you are ok. x

PS LOL at incontinent, I'm going to try that next time!

oh blackrock

Had my appointment today. Returned home with a pot for DH, who now has said no to being tested and does not want fertility treatment as we already have one child.

Evening ladies! Well, I found a good hiding place - in a cupboard in DHs office. But I think I may have blown it somehow as my Mum asked very loudly in a coffee shop 'Are you pregnant? You've been going to the toilet a lot.' Aaarrrrrggghhhhhhh!

You girls have made me laugh with the Beanie & PL show

Beanie If your not successful this month, how about freezing DH's contribution next month won't have to worry about wham bam thank you ma'am then!
PL Can you hide your stuff in a bag at the bottom of the laundry basket? Might work

Still keeping my eye on you all, lovely to "see" Comma sorry to hear you are feeling miserable

Big waves to everyone else x

PL...What a nosey mother, and I thought mine was bad!!!!

I have a box with a lock, not for fertility things, but for items I do not want others to read, or see.

I have a nosey friend, so never leave her alone in the house. A nosey mother would be more tricky!!!

I had this problem PL - well I still do but most people who come here know I am TTC now. I have a box with a lid in the bathroom with preseed, cough medicine (for the cervical mucus!), pee sticks, etc.

Luckily my mum knows and she never comes round.

I did however leave those flipping disposable instead cup things on the stairs for my DH's brother to see

Bollox, I've just realised that there are a load of 'clues' that we're ttc lying round the house....

like...

Clearblue fertility monitor
CBFM sticks from Claire
TCOYF
Thermometer
Baby book a friend leant me when I ill-advisedly confessed we might be thinking about trying
Pregnancy tests
OPK strips
Folic acid

FECK! How did I get all this stuff and where am I going to put it so that my mother doesn't spy it all? She is a notorious snooper so even if it all goes in the knicker drawer I'm sure she'll find it. Bollox.

Nightmare indeed. Do it in the morning... more time and less stress - and isn't sperm supposed to be better quality in the morning?!?

I hate, hate, hate the whole, shall we do it now? Well, I suppose we ought to, go on then. Wham bam thank you ma'am.

Very very about the U2 gig.

My mother is coming to stay tomorrow so I'm making a cake this afternoon and cleaning. Well, I aim to clean, I will clean, but I haven't actually started yet.

ha ha - it's just ridiculous isn't it. I know, and he knows, that the next few days we need to go for it but because I am a 'work my way up slowly' kind of girl I find all this wham bang thank you mam stuff a bit odd. I remember a few months ago we did literally come home from work one night and he said 'shall we do it now as I have to do such and such later' so we went up stairs and did it half dressed then I made dinner

We are going to see U2 at the weekend and It'll be CD 13 for me so we need to 'do it' but my DH is worried that he'll be a bit pissed so suggested we 'do it' before we go. Trouble is I have a birthday thing to go to in the afternoon so I'll have to leave early, have the old how's your father and then go straight out to the gig! Although we could do it in the morning - that might be worthwhile?

If I don't get pregnant this time round then we're in a tricky situation next month as my DH may be away the weekend I am ovulating (Depends on how delayed my cycle is on the clomid) and we have a friend of his staying the few days before! ERK. I might not take the clomid next month.

All this forward planning is a nightmare.

Oh dear, that made me giggle

Well, at least it's (marginally) better than my going into a strop saying you only want to have sex because I told you to (my trick) - although in both cases the end result is the same - no sex.

Sorry, not very helpful

morning all and sympathies to you comma. My very pregnant friend has swollen feet and even though she is really happy to be pregnant I know it can get her down.

I have a problem... I can't help giggling when me and my DH has sex. I find the whole 'having sex at the right time' hilarious and last night I just giggled continuously until he stopped what he was doing! I really need to stop it because I don't think he finds it as amusing as I do

at brain suffering
at misery

Know. My brain suffers too.

Hi Pistachio, I am completley miserable if you must now, but naturally happy about all the misery too.

Right on Beanie. And the crazy hormones after mc can actually help, so never mind irregularities in the cycle, just go for it (if you kow what I mean).

Hi Comma, of course I remember you! You must be quite far along now... so how are you?

Beanie you will definitely get there, and it's not too late. I have great faith in that, definitely. It WILL happen for you. [hugs]

Hey Comma! How's it going

You know me, I love a good moan. Am sure that things will be ok for me in the end, after all I have proven that I can get pregnant

Hi,

does anyone still remember me? I lost the link to the thread, and am so excited to have found it again! So nice to read from all of you again!

Feel slightly overwhelmed by mass of what's happened here, but do want to say: i can't believe the shit you've been through, Beanieb! (Also can't believe how gorgeous you look on the wedding photos.)

Good luck to you all!!!

Someone I really really like in work has revealed she's pregnant ... baby due february, conceived just 4 days after her wedding in May. Said stuff like 'well you just don't expect it to happen with me being 38 and him 42' and 'I just had no idea, I thought I was feeling a bit ill and down after the honeymoon'

Am really happy for her and I suppose her age does give hope to someone like me (39) but I can't help thinking the worst, that seeing as I have been trying for 2 years and it's not happening maybe it is just too late?

Sigh.

I wish I had that, I wish I knew what it was like to have something just happen - buggerations!

Beanie I know what you mean about HAVING to, it's so annoying. I actually turned down a shag the other morning because I'm so sick of sex for sexes sake (is that spelled right? If not, you know what I mean!). Very silly of me and I am kicking myself.

LOL about the instead cups - I heard about those and did think about getting some. Maybe after we've all managed to produce a baby we'll have bucket f*nnies and will be able to use them.

PS If I don't need the monitor next month, I'll be absolutely gobsmacked!

Glad it arrived! shame you can't start straight away but who knows it only takes once so maybe you won't need the moitor at all

Am really lacking in any motivation to get shagging although we HAVE to which just puts more pressure on us.

Didn't manage it last night, CD 9 now and not sure if the Clomid will bring ovulation forward so we really need to get going I think.

I ought some of those instead cups which are like mooncups but disposable, the reason being that I read you can use them to keep the sperm in and close to the cervix, but now I have seen the size of them there's no way I am even attempting to insert one! They are HUGE!

Beanie thank you! I got your package in the post yesterday. This month is almost certainly a write off as we only managed to have sex once around the 'right' time so the sticks will definitely be coming in useful next month.

Jaamy I'm hoping the gigantic boobies are not due to excess consumption of the black stuff.

Claire how are you? Coming up to bonking madness time for you isn't it... hope you have more luck than me this month!

PL - congratulations on your recent purchase

Beanie - Keeping things crossed that the clomid has done the biz for you.

Last few days of waiting here. No HPTs in house so no danger of early testing. No great feelings about this month other than my boobs are even more gigantic but that would more than likely be the ton of weight I put on on hols.

Thanks for updating, Beanie. Somewhere along the way I've gained a few cycles so think is a bit more accurate now. Hard to keep track with MCs and late AFs etc.

Beanie hope you're feeling a bit better today? I definitely believe it will happen for you again, and as Jaamy says, the clomid has worked before so there's no reason it won't work again. I like the idea of meeting up halfway, is that possible at all?

Pregnant friends suck don't they. Sometimes I really wonder whether TTC is making me a worse friend to those with kids or who are pregnant. Actually, for me it's not too bad once they are born as I enjoy seeing and playing with them but I do feel very jealous with all the announcements and the pregnancies, probably because I would like to be doing the announcing and being pregnant. It's difficult to know whether they can tell the difference as most friends don't know we're trying but it definitely makes a difference to me.

If you really don't mind, I would love to take your extra sticks off you. My email address is pistachiolemon@hotmail.co.uk. I just missed out on a monitor last night so this time I'm going to be braver, and more importantly, stay by the computer at the end of the auction!

Waves to everyone else!

Beanie - sending you lots of positive vibes. The clomid has worked for you before and hopefully will do the job again. Hope your DH is around at the crucial time. Is he going far? Could you meet up to do the deed halfway? Might make the "planned functional sex" a bit more interesting, now that you are an old married couple...CONGRATULATIONS BTW!

PL - yes, plenty of the black stuff was consumed (tastes much better when poured in Ireland) and also lots of the sex thing! Didn't realise Guinness was such an aphrodisiac! September isn't such a long time to wait for your DH's test. It will be here before you know it. Bet he can't wait. LOL! at the reflexology. Unable to justify the cost here too ATM.

Blackrock - Sorry to see you back at the top of the class, hun. Would have been nice for you to have had some good news before your appt (I think it's soon, isn't it?). Let's hope we can all take advantage of the summer lunar cycles... I got my last BFP this time last year so I know I'm "ripe" LOL!

Buddha - delighted scan went well even though bean was somewhat uncooperative. Will be a nice surprise!

Have a lovely evening everyone. x

How are you doing Blackrock?

PL I got the sticks free as was taking part in a Clearblue trial so you can have them for nothing, doubt I will get another monitor. Do you have CAT (though I am a bit confused by how it works)? if not then I can put my email in here and you could send me your address?

I felt so down last night, just thinking it's never going to happen again. Plus Mr Beanieb was planning the sex we can have this cycle and next (he might be away when I ovulate in September) and it just reminded me I am back on the old TTC train of planned functional sex . A friend of ours has just announced her second pregnancy. I knew she was pregnant as he had already told me but she's due the week after I was supposed to be and it's made me a bit MEH and reminded me that I was actually pregnant a couple of months ago! Plus hers wasn't planned and she's all over facebook telling everyone what a surprise it was. I really really like her and have spoken to her about our difficulties so I know she sympathises but still....

Anyway - am going to take the Clomid tonight and see what happens so have to get positive about that!

Sorry to see you back at the top blackrock.
How are you doing?

Holidays are great. Summer lunar cycles are also meant to be helpful.

sorry.

Thanks Beanie, that would be wonderful if you really don't think you'll be needing them - am v happy to pay you for them and postage as I know they're quite expensive. I'm watching nine of the things right now but haven't bid yet - I'm quite a scaredy ebayer!

Well hello Jaamy, did you have a good holiday (with lots of holiday sex!?!)? Hopefully you're back refreshed and that the guinness has done the trick

PL I sold my fertility monitor when I found out I was pregnant! DOH! Although I had used it for a year and my ovulation date rarely changed so I am just going to wing it from now on. Got mine from ebay for about £50. I have loads of the monitor sticks left which you're welcome to have if you do get one.

hey there jaamy sounds like you had a great holiday x

HELLLLLOOOOOOO!!!!

Am back from 18 days of touring around the Emerald Isle.

Lou - so very sorry to see you back with us and sad to see the graduate list hasn't grown while I've been away.

Will catch up with thread properly when I've done the unpacking, caught up with work, etc, etc, etc...arghhh!

Sorry you're back at the top Claire and Beanie.

Buddha so glad to hear the 20 week scan went well. LOL at bubs crossing its legs. Is that it in terms of scans or will there be more opportunities to find out the flavour?

Well, I've done some extensive googling and I think I've found some local places that look quite reputable and do both reflexology and accupuncture so once I start working again (hopefully in the next couple of weeks - am just waiting for contract to come through now) I will book an appointment. Work is quite slow for DH at the moment and as he is self-employed we're trying to tighten our belts for the time being so I don't think I can justify the expense until then.

Having said that, I have been eyeing up Clearblue fertility monitors on Ebay this morning - if I can get one fairly reasonably I think I may invest in that as for some reason I don't really trust my ebay cheapy ov tests.

Also, DH has finally booked his sperm tests (yay!). But get this, the earliest appointment available is September. There are either a lot of worried wives in this area or there's something in the water!

hmmm still nothing.

Beanie So hope you are right and this is your month Come on we need a BFP - no pressure
Claire I could whisper implantation bleed but don't want to get your hopes up? If cycles are shorter you can take agnes castus to lengthen don't know if you have tried it?
Pistachio Have you made any decision re the reflexology yet? A number of girls on my other threads swear by it.

Been lurking to check on you guys, we had a 20 wk scan yesterday all went well but the LO decided it didn't want us to know what flavour it is, so crossed its legs and hid its secret Gutted!

and ps, I just read back over the end of the 'strictly come dancing' thread and was on CD 30 when I got my BFP last time, with 2 negative tests on CD 26 and 28. Maybe there is hope?

or maybe I am just well and truly back on the TTC train of hope and dispair... gah!

Was lovely reading it back though, you were all so wonderfully supportive.

hi all, have moved everyone on 3 days. Hope that's right?

Woke up this morning in the middle of a dream about testing, wasn't sure what day I was on so tested anyway (DOH!) - BFN. Checked here and I am on CD28 now which means I am late (just) but have no signs of anything happening baby or otherwise Am assuming my cycle may not be back to normal after the miscarriage although a teeny weeny bit of me is hoping that it's the same scenario as the BFP I had in May and that in 2 days time I will get a BFP. Highly unlikely I know but there's always hope I suppose

Whatever I just wish my period would come as I am going to start back on the Clomid and cross my fingers tightly for another succcess.

How is everyone else doing? Claire did it turn out to be your period ?

Oh, shame. Sorry to hear that. How are you feeling?

I got a +ve on a clearblue test Friday two weeks ago, month before I ovulated 2 days after the +ve, so I'm assuming Sunday but maybe it was the Friday itself I ovulated, which would have been CD9 that would make sense for spotting now I suppose, period would then be due Saturday. Oh well.

Oh no!

Although, thinking about it, do you know when you ovulated?

I have spotting already and I'm only on CD22

I'm a bit worried about bursting into tears too. A friend of mine was training as a reflexologist quite a few years ago (she's now moved away) and I was her guinea pig for a while. Don't know what she did but I would be in floods of tears afterwards and very very emotional for days afterwards. In the end I said that I couldn't take it any more and she had practice on someone else! I suppose it means (at least for me) that it does something.

Interesting that accupuncture is supposedly better. Think I will do some googling this afternoon. Can you tell I'm bored? Can't wait to start work again.

By the way, I just saw your maiden name vs husband's name thread. Coincidentally I had a very similar conversation recently with a friend who was getting married and my mother. It seems that different countries have very different attitudes to women's names after marriage. I took my husband's name, but mainly because mine is a PITA as I have to spell it to everyone and no-one can pronounce it, but in Quebec women by law must keep their own names when they marry and are actually prevented from taking their husband's name (see article). And in Holland, women traditionally double-barrel, so I would be Mrs [husband's name]-[maiden name] (the opposite way to the English double barrelling) but the children would take the husband's name only. I have to say though, having taken my husband's name, I do miss mine, and sort of wish I'd kept it, if only at work.

PL - I have had reflexology, stopped after the miscarriage. My first session was really odd a I burst into tears. Was having it every couple of weeks but I had it for so long I don't think it helped with me getting pregnant TBH. Was thinking of trying accupuncture some time as I have heard it's better. The reflexology did have a benefit in that it made me feel great and relaxed

Don't really feel any different now I am married although I seem to be keeping my wicked temper a bit more in check

Claire, I meant to ask the other day and forgot, did you ever try out the reflexology? I was thinking that once I start working again I can justify going for some, but am interested to hear how someone else has found it (am a chicken emotion).

Morning Beanie. Good luck for this cycle - and if not, then hopefully the witch will arrive soon, you can get stuck into the the next Clomid cycle and cross fingers that will do the trick. How are you getting on post-wedding? Do you feel any different? I didn't expect to but definitely did!

Well, my period has finished already - only had a couple of days of really painful bleeding and then just spotting yesterday. I wonder if I didn't ovulate last month and that's why I kept getting EWCM.

Have updated the list too.

Morning all. I am definitely on CD 24 so I have updated everyone by 2 days and Hope this is correct?
before my miscarriage my cycle was around 25 - 26 days, first bleed I had after the miscarriage was about 18 days after the miscarriage bleeding stopped so I have no idea how long I should be expecting to wait for this one. Absolutely no pregnancy signs and no period signs either so we'll see. Am not getting hopes up reall. Am also going to start back on the Clomid once my period comes.

Thanks Ei, sorry she arrived for you too.
Onwards and upwards eh.

Shay, Jamie and Jaamy, any news from you guys? We are definitely due some good news soon!

hi ladies

xx ei xx

Thanks Claire. I'm really disappointed as I was beginning to think that something was going on. It has been a really terrible period as well. So painful I was throwing up yesterday morning - at my mother-in-law's house, lovely timing!

We're back at home now so I'm just going to take it easy now. I think I may go to the doc this week as my boobs are still really sore and I've not been this sick with a period for years. Do you think she might just tell me to bugger off and grow a pair?

How are you? And everyone else?

So sorry PL are you OK?

Good morning.

Hey Claire, yep it's at my old firm (not the one I'll be training at) and it's to work on a specific project. Best yet it's three days a week so I can do other things too. Am very excited.

So how are you? Coming up to the 2WW?

By the way have I done the chart wrong? I just realised I'm on CD31 today! Am not too hopeful but will test again sometime at the weekend if the witch doesn't show up.

How about you Ei and Jaamy? Hope we've got some good news coming.

Sparkly time flies, I can't believe how far on you are already. I guess you're well into maternity clothes now and have a proper bump and everything. What have you still got to do? And when are you going on maternity leave?

Beanie thanks for saying I can show my sister, she's looking for lots of ideas and is very interested in how people are doing things differently. If your SIL is willing to divulge any cake-making secrets I'd also be very very grateful!

PL I am very hopeful for you!

What's your new job then, is it at a law firm. Tell all!

Had a little clearout, hope that's okay?
Still no TTC news here. Boobies have now calmed down and no longer feel like beaming beacons. Still get the occassional cramp, but nothing else really. Just waiting for AF now.

On the upside. I got myself a job, without even applying for one! Am very pleased (read: smug).

Any news from you guys? Jaamy? Ei?

Hi ladies,
Just popping in to wish you all luck with testing. It's about time there were a string of BFPs here so I'll keep everything crossed for you.
Lou I'm so sorry .
Beanie Congrats on being a Mrs. A honeymoon baby would be fantastic so am sending lots and lots of babydust your way.

Hello to everyone else. Time is passing very quickly here and there's lots to do before baby arrives. Ah well, we'll get it done (eventually!).

Love to all.

Hey Claire, thanks, I'm hoping so too. Although I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much.

My left (why only left?!?) boob is absolutely killing me this afternoon but I had sort of sicky period-like crampy feeling in my lower tummy when I was walking home from a meeting earlier so perhaps my period is on its way.

Was asked this morning at the meeting wether my husband and I had children. When I said 'no, it's just the two of us' the response was, 'well you'll soon put that right won't you'. I followed that with a nervous giggle/smile, and a swift change of subject. I'm thinking of making one of those A-board signs to wear when meeting people which says 'DO NOT ASK ABOUT CHILDREN AS REFUSAL TO DISCUSS OFTEN OFFENDS'. Do you reckon it would work?!?

Lou I'm so sorry, we're all here for you.

PL sorry about the bFN fingers crossed you ovulated late (maybe that sneaky session covered it?)

Beanie lovely photo's looks a very happy day and your dress is great, very clever. You looked lovely btw.

Ei fingers crossed she has stayed away.

BFN. Aaarrrgghhh.

ahh bloody hell lou im so sorry bout the MC good luck for thenext cycle back on the TTC wagon
beanie your photos are lovely
xx ei xx

louisbackagain so sorry to hear about your miscarriage I absolutely understand the it's never going to happen mood. Despite everyone telling me it will it IS hard to stay positive but it honestly does get better.

PistachioLemon - you certainly can show your sister. i stole the sash Idea from someone else on a wedding forum My SIL is so good at making cakes and made all the little flowers herself. Will ask her how she does it.

Ei - thank you too. Good luck with testing.

Thanks PL!

Beanie I LOVE the dress and the idea of a changeable sash and underskirt is genius. Can I show my sister please? Looks like you had a glorious day. Also does your sister-in-law have any tips on cake making? I'm supposed to be making my sister's cake and she's very definite that she wants a proper cake and not cupcakes (or something easy!) but she would quite like to have different flavours for each layer.

Louis so sorry to hear your news. I've added you back on the list so add the details whenever you feel ready. I can't imagine how you must be feeling but I just wanted to give you a big hug and hope you get another BFP very very soon.

Ei so, today's the day... any news? Have you tested yet? Good Luck!

I am now the proud owner of two Clear Blue Digital tests which are winking at me naughtily from their box. Am going to try to hold out for a few more days though as I really don't want to get a BFN, they're so depressing and I've already seen loads of those so I know what they look like already.

Hi ladies, just wanted to let you know I had a miscarriage at just 7 weeks so back in the game with all of you.
Threw myself into work, but as its the summer holidays now need some good ideas to fill my time and get me out of morose "Its never gonna happen" mood. Any ideas welcome!
Hope you are all okay, congrats on the wedding Beanie!
Lou x

beanie massive congrats on the wedding
xx ei xx

Good luck PL, really hope you get your bfp.

self indulgent wedding photos are here if anyone would like to see. My mum made my dress and my SIL the cake. Everything went well although we forgot to cut the cake!

Am not sure if we're in with a chance babywise this month as it's all been a bit sporadic but perhaps a break is what we need

hi ladies

just a quick update from me
AF due today so who knows eh!!
PL good luck with testing

Noooooooo! Because then I might have to give up smelly cheese and shell-fish.... aaarrrghhhhh!

I may, however, buy one today (a test, not some smelly cheese or shellfish) to torment myself with.

PL I think you should test!

Morning All.

MrsBeanie congratulations! So what was it like? Did it all go according to plan? Oooh, I love weddings and get so excited thinking about them. I wish I could get married again (to DH of course!).

Claire to smiley CBD, have you been busy over the weekend? Crossing fingers for you.

Well, no change here I'm afraid. Still funny tummy, still funny boobies, now also have indigestion. Not really feeling sick or anything. CD28 for me today so either four days late or seven days to go based on shortest and longest cycles. DH thinks I'm up-duffed, but I keep telling him to shut up!

Beanie congrats enjoy your honeymoon

PL fingers crossed for you.

I had a smiley face on my clearblue digital on Friday which was CD9, last cycle I ov'd two days after my smiley face so if the same that is today just CD11, very early for me.

MrsBeanie Congratulations hope you had a wonderful day [smile
PL Any news yet?

Hello all, just popping in to say 'Hi' and let you all know I am a married lady now and also I am not sure when I am going to ovulate, no signs. Hope all are good?

Hmm, nothing yet, but I'm still getting cramps on and off so I think I'm most likely out for the month. Bring on month 9.

Maybe I spoke too soon. I've now got period like cramps so I reckon the witch is on her way. Grrrr.

Mollie, BuddhaBelly... I like it! What news from you?

I feel I have to tell the truth about the sneaky session - I'm a bit embarrassed about it to tell the truth as we sneaked off in between the church and the evening do ...felt a bit like a naughty teenager! No-one noticed though thank God(and my entire family were there so they would have definitely said if they had).

Well, I'm on CD25 so based on last month's cycle I'm a day late but based on my longest cycle I still have ten days to go. So frustrating. I've been having cramps very low down for the past few days which aren't particularly painful and my boobies aren't exactly sore but I'm very aware of them (and every so often I get sort of shooting pains in one or the other). Also the other night I thought they looked kind of veiny - but that could very well just have been my imagination as last night they looked kind of normal. Oh, and yesterday morning I felt a bit nauseous, but that could be because I didn't have anything to eat but had a couple of cups of tea and that always makes me feel a bit icky. Hmmmm. I'm really scared that it's all in my imagination, and I'm really scared that it's not all in my imagination.

not sure what happened there!

..

Hello it's Mollie I had to name change for personal reasons, but it seems quite apt
Beanie Hope you have a wonderful wedding, will be thinking of you, would be fabulous to get a BFP first cycle after becoming a "Mrs"
Blackrock So lovely to hear from you, good news about the relationship and enjoy chilling out rather than obsessing about TTC
PL EWCM might be a very good sign, here's hoping
Jaamy Hope you have a fantastic holiday with lots of quality bd
Claire Sorry to see you back at the top
JamieJay Hello and welcome you are in good company here and I know exactly how you feel unfortunately pg after m/c is terrifying and such a rollercoaster of emotions. Good luck
Shayer How are things with you?
Glasto Long time no hear Hope the appt with nurse went well tonight, are you excited about starting IVF or just nervous? Let's hope you're one of the lucky ones and it works first time

beanie is it your wedding this weekend? How fabulous I hope it all goes smoothly and you and DF/DH have a great time.

PL well done on the sneaky session fingers crossed your period stays away.

blackrock glad things are looking up in your relationship and sorry your work seems so stressful. Hoping that being more relaxed will work for you.

Hey Blackrock, lovely to see you back here. I'm so pleased your relationship is back on the mend. I'm going with the non-tracking method at the moment too and in some ways it's much less stressful.

Beanie - hope all the last minute planning has gone smoothly and enjoy the day.

Hi Claire, so how are you? We did have a sneaky session actually but I'm not convinced it's ovulation because I feel like my period is just around the corner. Perhaps it's just one of those abberations!

Jaamy Hope you've managed to get some sleep since Monday night/Tuesday morning. Hope you have a fabby holiday and get some well deserved relaxation time (and lots of holiday sex!). See you in August.

Hello there. Hope everyone is well.

Beanie just to say have a wonderful wedding. Hope it is all you wish for.

I am still around. Things are better at home. My work has caused a lot of stress in my relationship, but I think things are on the mend.

I have an appointment at the end of August. Until then I am not tracking anything, and just seeing how things bobble along.

I am on about day 11 of cycle 28. I'll add my name back onto the list soon.

Take Care.

PL I sometimes get that - I did last month, only a tiny bit though was very odd and I was like you - wish I'd temped so I knew if I had ov'd when I thought I had earlier.

Best to get a sneaky session in though just in case it is late ovulation

Have a lovely holiday jaamy! Where are you going?

Hmmm, very strange things happening in the PL camp... on CD22 now and have more EWCM. Had some on Saturday (so had a little bonk before the wedding) then nothing much since then and now more of the stuff. What's going on?

Wish I'd temped this month now!

Hello All!

How's everyone diddling?

Glasto - good to see you with a relaxed/positive attitude. Isn't there some kind of old wife's tale about new home, new baby? Hope it proves true in your case.

Shayera - how're things?

Claire - how you doing? Sorry to see you at the top. Are you due to go back for more tests?

PL - Hope you managed to let your hair down a bit at the wedding. Aren't people funny about their obsession with procreation? You would be more than welcome at any of our family bashes. They are completely the opposite. NO ONE asks about ANYONE's health, wealth or otherwise. All very superficial, like it's some kind of terrible unmentionable. Maybe it's because it's such a big family, no one can keep track so they just don't bother!

Welcome to JamieJay - we haven't had a BFP on here for a while so one (or all) of us are dues one soon...

Am up at this silly hour because I can't sleep. Don't ask me why. Not BD/BFP/ov related. We're off on hols on Thurs and just had the endless list of things I have to do before then going round and round and round in my head. Plus am a bit poorly with a cold (swine flu??). Anyhow, am hoping I will be back mid Aug with some good news and to see some good news from some of you lovely ladies, too.

Beanie - have a fabulous wedding.

Just typed a long post and my damn computer te it

Thanks for all the good wishes everyone, have been jumping DH all week but am fighting a part of me that doesn't want to get a BFP because it will mean I have to face up to the possibility of another miscarrage

PistachioLemon I hope the wedding wasn't too traumatic. It's understandable that your DH is reluctant to take the test, so much of a man's ego is caught up it his virility it must be hard - good news on the sex front though.

Glastochick I think the excitement of a house move will be a good distraction. The sex situation will improve, need to focus on the pleasure side rather than the biological - easy said than done I know!

Thanks Pistachio

Glad you've managed to move on to the sex when you fancy it bit. This is something we're still struggling with. We got to the stage of performing to demand, as it were, and for both of us it became a chore and we wanted to get it over and done with as quickly as possible. This has now left DH in a situation where he can't help getting it over and done with as quickly as possible, and me wanting to speed things along and not spend too long on foreplay because it gets him overexcited and then it's all over as soon as he starts. Sorry, TMI . I've also got to stop myself from not wanting sex because, to be honest, there doesn't seem as much point in it if we can't make a baby .

My BF in RL took nearly a year to get her DH to go for a sperm test because he was so afraid of the result. He really was scared she would leave him . It hasn't helped him that she's got a DS from a previous relationship but she had him when she was 19 and he's grown up now, so there's nothing to say the problem lies with her DH.

It's a huge dent to their ego's though and my DH has been absolutely amazing in the way he's dealt with it.

Have a great time at the wedding and have a glass of wine with you so even if you don't drink people will think you're drinking. Luckily my ILs are ok and think our delay in providing grandchildren is because my DH isn't ready. My mum would love another GC too, but she has been told in no uncertain terms that I don't want to talk about it and has, thankfully, finally stopped mentioning it. I think she might start up again once she sees we've got room to grow in our new house!

Sounds like you've got everything under control. I shall be crossing fingers for you that you're so busy with moving house etc that the 2WW flies by and that you get a BFP straight away.

I'm doing well actually. I got out of the habit of temping while I was away so I've no idea really whether I've ovulated or not and in a way that's really nice. We've not been having a bonkfest either just sex now and then when we fancy it, which is even better, so I think this may be my approach from now on (if my control freakery doesn't rear it's ugly head that is!). DH hasn't gone for his sperm tests yet either - I think he's a bit afraid of what the results may bring - and in a funny way I don't really mind either.

Going to a wedding this weekend so more dodging of the baby question again. MIL's party the other weekend was quite bad for that but I just did a nervous laugh and ran away whenever it was brought up! I think I'm going to be naughty and drink this weekend though so hopefully there will be fewer suspicious looks. Fingers crossed anyway.

So how's everyone else?

Hi Pistachio

I feel much better about things now we know we can at least try for a baby and we're getting closer to the process starting. Have also been distracting myself with planning our house move in a months' time too. Probably not the best thing to do while starting our first course of IVF but if it works at least we've taken advantage of the housing market and found a place big enough for us and a baby, and if not we've got somewhere nice that isn't next door to a ranting, raving, lunatic

We should start downregging on the 29th. Got a nurse appt on the 23rd so should confirm dates and everything then.

How are things with you?

Hey Glasto, how are you doing these days? When do you start your NHS cycles?

Been a loooong time since popping on here

Have moved everyone on two days. Think I've done it correctly but apologies if not!

ShayeraHol my heart goes out to you. We thought ICSI was going to be the route we took, and were heartbroken at the prospect because of how full on it is, and terrified of how we'd manage the cost.

Could you appeal? It should not be based on your age when there is a medical condition (DH's medical condition). Alternatively, you could look into going abroad I guess? Give IVF Support Services a look. Everything is co-ordinated in this country but the actual process takes place abroad. One advantage we thought when looking at them was that everything is a fixed cost, so you know upfront what you're paying, and everything is cheaper than it is in this country.

I can't speak from personal experience, and we're lucky enough to be eligible for 3 NHS cycles (although we've decided to pay for donor sperm so we got a choice of donor and got around the ridiculous waiting list in this country), but if these are unsuccessful we will be contacting them for treatment in Sweden.

Beanie, Jamie, my heart goes out to you both.

Right, off to catch up....

Hi JamieJay, welcome. Sorry to hear about your miscarriage, I can completely understand why you might be terrified to try again. Good luck for this cycle.

hi JamieJay, I remeber you. So sorry to hear your news. It's all quite terrifying starting again, the doctor at the hospital told me to try to chill out and use common sense. Her heart is in the right place I guess.

hi to all.

May I join you please, am to scare to jump on the usual buses. I had a miscarriage at 6 weeks in June and having decided to wait a full cycle before trying again I'm now on CD11 and have started jumping DH in a hardcore way.

I'm likely to be a little hit and miss in posting as I'm sh*t terrified about trying again and know I've had it easy compared to some people so try and keep my wallowing to myself.

ShayeraHol sorry to hear that they class you as to young, totally stupid approach in my mind. Hope you find a way through it all.

beanieb I think we were on the ttc January bus at the same time, sorry to hear you had the same fate as me. Oh, and I think you're right to class today as day 1.

Two weeks is so soon. So exciting. Well, I wouldn't have my MIL stay the night before either, definitely too much!

I'm on CD14 so have updated again. Should be having a bonkfest, especially as I've just got back from being away for nearly three weeks but we seem to be having a drought. Ah well, maybe I can count this as a month off.

Right - in that case I am going to tempt fate and put myself back on the list. Wedding is just under 2 weeks. Am kind of sorted but still wondering if I should wear my leopard-print shoes or not

MIL is coming to stay and will be with us for 3 nights before going on to her other son. I banned her frm staying the night before the wedding. Lovely woman but that would be too much.

Hope I get this right am adding 7 days.

Hey Beanie. I'd count it as a period if it lasts normal period length. Not long til the wedding now - all organised?

Big waves to everyone else. How are you all?

Hmmmm... hi all. I started bleeding this morning. This is a pain because I have been told I should have at least 20 days without bleeding after a miscarriage to count it as a period. I miscarried on June 14th, so almost a month ago, but the bleeding didn't stop fully until around the 26th June so that's only 16 days ago. Having said that, the bleeding around the 20th - 26th was very light and brown (TMI) so I would say old blood. Hmmmmm, not sure what to think or if I can add myself back onto the list or not?

One good thing, if this is my period then I won't have it on my wedding day.

35 is the current age in Berkshire - apparently they're bringing it down, but it comes down by a year every year so guess I'll meet it at 33. Because we've got to go ICSI rather than normal IVF it's a higher cost to go private as well. We'll need to consider whether to wait or not I guess... but we have a couple of months off from difficult decisions which is a relief.

Shayera - am shaking head at your post. Too young for IVF but you are my side of 30 (had peek at your profile). How can this be? Sounds mad to me. At least it looks like you and DH have a decent consultant, though. Great big hugs to you both - you deserve to get that bundle no matter how it happens. ANd if not, if you can get through this, you can get through anything. You have my permission to spoil each other for the next couple of months. x

Oh Shayera, sorry to hear you news
I really hope there is a way through this for you x

Thanks both. We're dealing ok - having a potential plan is helping, got to say the consultant was great with that. Next couple of months are a whole lot of nothing - I've got to have my cyst removed, likely hubby's genetic thingy will be same timescales, so we find out more around September at a guess. Apparently IVF age might be coming down - but not necessarily to anything hopeful. Steeling ourselves for spending all my relocation money on IVF, which is possibly not what the company intended

Shayer, I second everything Mollie has said. I'm so sorry to hear your news. Huge hugs from me. xxx

Shayer I am so so sorry to hear your news How mad is it that you are "too young" for free IVF?? And no funding for sperm donors - WTF I am so gutted for you, I can't start imagine how you and DH are feeling, I really hope that the genetic counselling doesn't turn out as bad as expected, and that there is some light at the end of the tunnel for you
Sending you a huge non-MN hug for you and DH x

ICSI is currently our best bet - no chance of natural conception, no chance of "normal" IVF, got to be the proper hardcore stuff. However hubby also has a chromosomal abnormality, so he has to go for genetic counseling to find out if it's appropriate for him to reproduce. If not, then we have three options: donor sperm, adoption, or no kids.

Also, no funding for donor sperm on NHS and I'm 4 years too young for free IVF.

I say again:

Sorry to see you back at the top Shay. I'm with you on the crazy short cycles. What's going on? Good luck with the consultant test on Tuesday. My DH is doing his sperm test this week too so I'm hoping for the best for both of us.

Am once again internetless - this is the first chance I've had to get on for a while! Not sure when we're going to have internet in the new house so might not be around for a bit, although I can read comments on the phone (v hard to write back!).

Anyway - today is CD1 so can someone update me next time the list's done? Consultant D-Day is this Tuesday, have had 2 cycles since the last time we saw them as I seem to have gone down to crazy short length. Implication was that we'll know if first test was an anomoly, if DH is fixable or if we have to do IVF, so I'm a bit apprehensive.

In the meantime, we're considering getting another cat - we met a lovely one today when picking our two up from the cattery, he'd been thrown out of home and dumped at the vet who didn't want him so cattery lady's daughter rescued him. Not sure it's wise - we're in danger of turning into Crazy Cat Family!

Hope all are well and enjoying the sun!

Thank you for thinking of me ladies, and as Sparkly said all went well, baby was jumping around like a mad thing, which was really reassuring after the bleeds the week before.

Beanie How are you holding up my lovely? I agree with Sparkly It took us 2 years to get pg for the first time, after the 1st m/c we got pg 3 times in 10 months! It's almost like it kickstarted everything.
PL Sorry to see you back on the top Let's hope your right and 8 is your lucky number
Jaamy Very of your laptop in the garden!
Zen So glad your scan went well too

Well I hope everyone else is enjoying the weather

Well eight is a very lucky number in the Chinese culture so I've decided I'm going to be very hopeful this month. More bonking is required I think but I do need to be slightly nearer than 300 miles away from DH to get the deed done Hopefully going to be home next week so we can get started. Poor DH does not know what's coming

Ei - I loves the new name too! Maybe I should try name changing too to seal the deal. Don't know how though.

Sparkly I can't believe it's 23 weeks tomorrow that's gone so quickly.

Zen and Mollie, congrats on the scans. I'm so pleased for you.

Beanie hope you're okay. Was Glasto good? I haven't been for years but felt like I was missing out this year.

Jaamy, I've finally set my Mum up with a laptop and wireless broadband and was tempted to take the shiny new toy into the garden this afternoon but it was just too hot. Maybe tomorrow!

Zen So pleased all went well. Just had a phone call from Mollie. Good news from her too today . Such a relief for you both. Hope you can start to relax a bit now.
Ei Tonnes and tonnes and tonnes and tonnes of luck to you. Love the new name.
Jammy 23 weeks tomorrow. It is going quickly (now some of the anxiety has passed) and I think summer hols will fly by. Sept/Oct will be loonnnggg months though.
PL Sorry to see you back at the top. Fingers crossed for this cycle being your lucky one.

afternoon ladies
whaddya think of my new name?? im going with the theory of new name new baby again no news yet but i am picking my package up from royal mail later which will hopefully be my tests so i can update later as i have done a sample this morning for such purposes
PL sorry to see you back at the top hope you are ok
jaamy of you working in the sunshine!! i can see the sun (and the pier head) from my desk
zen brilliant news on your scan
beanie hope you are doing ok
hello to all the rest and the lurkers
xx ei xx

Sorry to see you back at teh top, PL. Hope you are doing ok.

Beanie - I'm just echoing what has been said by others. You've just had a false start and the next little bean will be a sticky one. Can't be long now til your wedding...something exciting to look forward to.

Zen - fantastic news on your scan. How lovely for you to see little bean doing so well. And thanks for sharing with us your lovely date...

Mollie - hope all is well with the scan today.

Sparkly - How fabulous to hear from you. Doncha know TTC is a walk in the park in daytimetv land! Hope you and bump are keeping well. 2/3 of the way there for you now. Gosh that has flown...I think anyway

Ei any news?

Big waves to everyone else. I have takne the laptop outside and am working in the sunshine at the moment...bliss! x

Hey everyone,

Beanie I completly understand how you feel you just have to carry on to know that it wont be long for you now, your body was just getting you ready. Hopefully you will be more fertile now, thats what I put me down too

Well had my scan today and baby was healthy and active waving at us cant tell you how happy we are to get to this point and am due 10.01.10 how cool is that!!

Mollie - thinking of you tomorrow let us know how you get on.

Zen waves at everyone else xx

Oh Beanie . I felt exactly the same after my m/c. I really think there's some truth in the 'being more fertile after a m/c' talk. It took us a year of TTC (plus 2 years before that of unprotected sex) to become pregnant before the m/c and then only a few months after the m/c (and out of these months it was the only month that I used OPKs and really went for it). Have you had a look at Deanna plan here? This is what we followed before I got my BFP. All the luck in the world to you. Am hoping you won't be waiting too long and am glad you had the chance to relax at Glas.
Jaamy All this completely useful advice . I posted over in Emmsy's thread this morn what I'd seen on TV (This Morning) about what to do when TTC. They make it sound so easy. Sorry TEW got you but pleased the scan didn't show anything. Lots and lots of babydust.
Ei [waves]
Mollie and Zen Lots of luck to you both. I'll keep everything crossed.

Hello to everyone else. I've still got this thread on my 'watch' list so am always lurking. Good luck to all.

Morning all.

Been to Glastonbury. Had a great weekend but now feeling gloomy about the future. Lots of people around me are either pregnant or flashing their beautiful babies at me. My OH asked me when I was going to be ovulating (Who knows, I have only just stopped bleeding after the miscarriage) and it just filled me with dread having to think about more months of useless TTC and worry about it taking months again.

I have not seen my best friend since I miscarried and saw pictures of her bump on facebook which made me sad and I am just not sure I can actually visit her ever again

Anyway - hope all are ok?

hey jammy go on babymad.com and they have the saliva prediction thingies which are about £11 i got one just in case no AF here yet no feelings like she is coming yet so who blardy knows eh??!!
xx ei xx

Thanks Ei - will keep things crossed for you that the red witch stays away. x

[jaamy tootles off to google "ferning" whatever that is...]

hi ladies
jaamy sorry AF got you and that your GP is being such an unhelpful git!! have you tried ferning?? i am going to give it a go if AF arrives this cycle (she was due saturday and has yet to make an appearance) i have ordered one of the saliva test things from babymad and it is meant to be rather accurate in ov prediction (and gives a 3 day 'warning' so you can ahem...get banging away as your GP so delicately put it)
good luck mollie and zen for your scans
hello to everyone else
xx ei xx

BIG WAVES to Zen and mollie. Hope the scans go well. [excited emoticon]

Claire hope this sunshine has made you a bit cheerier. Try to concentrate on YOU and not things that are going on around you.

Back to the top. Knew it was coming. Scan showed up nothing unusual. GP says can't refer me to fertility clinic because I had 2 MCs last year and am therefore not infertile. He has a point. His very words to me were "Just keep banging away"! Oh and to temp so I know when I've ovulated...cos like I hadn't though of that about 2 years ago.

Hope everyone else is ok.
