Hello ladies,

Just updating my stats as I've been absent for a while - I decided to try and obsess a bit less and so kept away from these boards for a while. It did seem to help a bit, but of course now that I'm back on the 2ww I can't help but obsess so thought I may as well embrace it!

Hi wantbaby and so sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Glad you have an apt to help you move forward.

Fedup - my story, am 35, been married 11yrs been ttc first child for 6yrs, but very seriously trying to conceive for last 2.5yrs. Had 9mths of hospital testing, that show I am probably not ovulating, husband has poor morphology of sperm. Have not had a positive pregnancy test and worried about age and egg reserve - so have switched hospitals having had the consultant tell us to keep trying for another 6mths!! When I know people receiving treatment from him and team with better results than us and in shorter timeframe. SO - go to new hospital this Friday, another scan and 4th Semen Analysis for dh! Then hopefully possible treatment! Sorry - long story!

wantbaby:sorry about the miscariage. at least you know that you can get pregnant. we havent even managed that. the worst bit is that all the tests came back fine time and again for two years now. we are also considering doing ivf privately, after a few more months: maybe 2011 will be the year for us! good luck babe x

Hi fedupttcnosuccess
I got pregnant last year but lost the baby at 20 weeks. That was pretty grim. Am hoping better luck next time but so far have been TTC for 9 months and no joy so far. Am considering IVF but going private. Have appt with Infertility people at local hospital on 29th and going to talk about IVF then as not getting v far naturally.

Here's hoping good luck to all of us!

hi wantbaby! i only joined recently too. what is your story, hope this thread is a lucky one for all who sail in it! x

Lychees by cycle day does it mean what day of your cycle are you currently on??

Afternoon Ladies, got my HSG booked for next Monday.

Hope everbody is okay.

Sorry for the typos, but what I meant was that I hope we can all support each other through thick and thin. You guys are doing a tremendous job here. I am proud to be associated with such a lovely supportive group. Happy to repay the kindness. Feel free to use me as a sounding board, or to vent off some steam.
Kezia: what is your story hon?

Hi kezia- hope it happens soon for you. Thanks for your good wishes.
The last lot of bloods and tests conducted on both of us was in August. I think realistically speaking, due to these tests claiming that everything was fine, we may have no option but to go down the IVF path. This year has been quite turbulent, in terms of family; i.e. Elderly parents with frail health needing us a lot more than we anticipated. We have agreed that (the dh and I), that if things don't improve o. The fertility front, then this time next year is when we will concentrate on pursuing our dreams. We will go private, in order to make it a bit quicker. Deep down I am still wishing and praying that we fall pregnant naturally.
You girlies here are a Godsend. I thank you for all hour support and hope I canbe as helpful if need be.

Hi fedup - I so know what you mean about people being unaware, with an outside shell. You have just described me (minus the driven career woman - I love my job, but haven't climbed the ladder and nor do I wish to and have no children either despire years of ttc!)

Fedup - have you been to the gp for basic blood tests and up to date smear and swabs etc? They will do those for you and it might help?

Thank you so much for your warm welcome. People in RL are blissfully unaware as they continue to see me as the driven career woman I have been all my life. I find it hard to confide in family and friends, otherwise I am frightened I will crumble, and this hard exterior shell once shattered will be hard to put together. I am genuinely happy for friends and family popping babies left right and centre. However, my personal life choices haunt me.

fedupttcnosuccess, this journey is so hard and lonely. I can empathise with those feelings. I get the same feeling of devastation each month ... I've just learnt to hide it better. It's so all-consuming.

Do you have much support in RL? If not, there are very supporting, lovely ladies here. They help me get through each month. All I can say is that there is always hope. That is what I'm hanging on to. Like you, I have no answers and its frustrating. But I am ever hopeful.

thank you lychees. i am so down at the minute it's unbelievable. all the symptoms were there this month (i am definitely not a symptom spotter:too much else going on at work and home, for me to have any time on my hands to do that!); and then AF arrived with a vengeance. I am so disheartened now. we are resigned to the fact now that it may now never happen for us. we are both a little long in the tooth now, i'm 40, he's 43. could not have predicted that we'd be even considering this at our ages even up until just 5 years ago. life is strange. it's certainly a funny hand we've been dealt. i am in a very dark place right now. so sorry to infict this on you guys here. we are so grateful for our health,etc. but this baby thing is quite hard to come to terms with:especially with it being "unexplained infertility"; if it aint broke, how do we go about fixing it?

Welcome fedupttcnosuccess, let's hope you'll be changin that username soon.

Lpg, keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Changing the stats today as I am back to CD1. I'll be calling the clinic tomorow morning to book my HSG and to have a chat to my consultant about the next stage.

morning everyone, afternoon even! after over 2 years of actively trying for a baby, with nothing happening, i am at the end of my tether. in desperate need of lifting of spirits.
ljg:just posted on your thread: a very brief story of where we're at, at this moment in time.
i wont be posting my cycle lengths, etc. as dont want to jinx it, although that may change in the very near future!
looking for some support and friendly advice from you lovely girlies here.
keeping my fingers crossed for you ljg.
this is the first "proper" thread that i have joined. hope it brings us all luck.x

Morning All! how is everybody doing? weather is very naff here rain, rain and more rain.
Emmy hope you are feeling a bit better? and are being taken care of X.

Any news SES Jenni Choccie???and anybody else???.

I don't want to temp fate by writing this...but did get twp from 10 dpo and positive on cbdigital a few days ago...given my history I'm really worried as convinced I will lose it again! Dr has agreed to check hormone levels via blood for the next two weeks, so fingers crossed. I don't want to go on the graduate list if that's ok? not feeing that brave at all xx

My CD has gone one day out of sync. I'm expecting a 30-31 day cycle this month so AF should be here any day soon and then I'll be booking my HSG.

Morning All!

KnackeredCow, I know what you mean. The last two RL pg announcements [my brother's #3 and my cousin's #2] have been followed with "we didn't expect it to happen that quickly!". Well, good for you!!! Well done for being so bloody fertile!!!

Attenborough, also in answer to your q about UCL. Some of the ladies with big CD numbers haven't been on in a while so they probably are not on those CD's. I think we probably need to tidy the list up a bit.

Morning ladies. Feeling a bit down today. Just had a text from one of my friends to say that she's pg with number 2. Apparently it was an accident.

Have sent her a congratulatory text, but feel really bad because I don't actually feel as happy as I should for her. I guess I am

Wish she'd been more tactful in her text and hadn't told me that the pregnancy was unplanned.

Sorry for me me me post.

Hi Attenborough - some people are having bizarre cycles, hence the numbers! Boba, bless her got to 120!! A record for this thread!

(And thank you for the welcome! I'm still not really here, honest, but will join in properly as soon as I can).
