Sixth Form Common Room part III - post mc ttc & pregnancy

Dach, lets hope its a case of quantity not quality with the eggs. Hope you managed to get one really good one to implant (you did say you only want to put one in this time?) and a spare to freeze. xxx

Sorry it wasn't more than 5 dachs - keeping my fingers very very tightly crossed they all fertilise beautifully.

tomboy hooray! does that mean you start ttc this cycle?

They only got 5 eggs. I find out tomorrow how many have fertilised.

Yay for digi sorry to be so late catching up - great news, hope this is the stickiest bean going.

Good luck to daffs for this morning, hoping there's some big strong eggs in there.

I'm completely confused about where I am in cycle, the last two months (since starting acupuncture) i've had no peak reading on the CBFM or OPK sticks, last month temps all over the place, this month thought I'd O'd only for my temp to drop completely the next day it's 4 or 5 months since m/c and i'd had normal-ish cycles up until acupuncture....

Hope others are having more luck, mousebacon are you till on the 2ww? Where has falconmistress gone...? x

yay Tomboy but make sure she knows that she isn't welcome after this time

Why did none of you tell me that guaifenesin tasted so vile?

tomboy

AF is here! Hooray!

(Things You Never Thought You'd Say #528)

Ooh, that is interesting tina My chart would look much more exciting if I recorded the ear ones...oh, the things we do!

Thanks digi fingers crossed!

digital I had a few 19/20 day cycles after my mc, they're back to 28 days now with a 14 day lp. I'm kicking myself for trying the epo again but last time I tried it was right after the mc so I was never sure if the cervical erosion I had then was due to the mc or epo. I guess I know now! I'm just a bit paranoid I'll have a short cycle with 5 day lp like after the mc, due to the epo

Thanks for all the good wishes lurkers - it means a lot to know there are people rooting for me.

mouse clearly you test sticks are as faulty as your bbt thermometer. I hope it's just too early.

teaspoon my acupuncturist said epo is great for dealing with pmt - but not something that would help with fertility. I reckon if they've made you spot post af then prob best to ditch them. And I wouldn't worry about delaying ov - if you tend to have short cycles then it sounds as though your body is good at righting itself fairly quickly. How's your luteal phase?

aandr happy tears are good. It really is good to have a release. After all you've been through too. I think focussing on the house now is a great project. It's productive, your efforts are rewarded with results and its completely within your control. And if all else fails you can chuck money at it. It's everything ttc is not.

Feeling fairly relaxed at the moment. But then I've done this bit before. Just hoping to stay this way for as long as possible.

Glad to be of service. Who wants next go with the kipper?

Oops, posted too soon...I meant to add my news! I took epo for a few days just to see what would happen. Big mistake, I should have learnt my lesson the last time! I had fresh spotting when I thought af had finished and I've now got a giant spot on my chin. It really does not agree with me! And now I'm in a panic that I've messed up my hormones and won't ovulate this month . The last time i took it was when i was having 3 week cycles. Tell me I'm being daft someone and slap me!

Morning! Just a quick one, taking dd to the cinema (rain ruined our original plan of a local agricultural show )

Boo to bfn mouse. Our ear thermometer and my bbt one usually tally so I would go with the ear reading and chuck the other one!

Still for digi and her bfp and dachs and her BIG FAT follicles

Waves to everyone, lurkers you're all looking fab in your tshirts!

digi am so delighted for you - I know it's early days and can imagine how all over the place you must be, but today you are pregnant. WHOOP!

Morning!

BFN this morning, not even a whisper of a line but I just couldn't resist testing!

Ear thermometer read 37.2 this morning but old thermometer said 36.20 - how can it be a whole degree different?!!!

Nice t shirt aandr

Dachs I think your follies just like making last minute comebacks - they obviously have a touch of the dramatic about them! All fx for Monday.

LadyB I am very proud of your positive outlook! Be kind to yourself - it is such a big thing you are doing moving to another country - wibbles and wobbles are to be expected!

tomboy I am really impressed with how you have handled the whole mechanic situation. You are completely right in your approach but I'm
not sure if I would have had the ability not to just yell and scream at him!!

I am ok over here - I have been crying oceans of tears recently - generally on my ride home from work. I think they are good tears though. I have had to hold so many things together over the last year and haven't really let myself cry properly. Obviously it is time to let all of that out. I have decided that I need to give birth to a house before I can give birth to a baby - I am not taking any proactive steps to stop conceiving but am trying mentally to let go for the moment.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!

That's brilliant digi I'm so thrilled for you! How many DPO are you

Also very pleased for you dachs still keeping everything crossed for a positive outcome for youu

Would love to also be the bearer of good news but feel distinctly un-pregnant at 11dpo apart from v mild cramps so not holding out much hope at the mo...

My replacement thermometer hasn't arrived yet so still using the ear thingy/old thermometer combo. Not fun at 6.30 in the morning!

Waves to all - especially all the old faces that delurked for digi - ooh, we could have t-shirts with that on! 'I delurked for digi'

dach thats great news that there has been a spurt of follie growth, sounds like you are doing a fantastic job of keeping your cool through the whole nerve wracking process too.

more for updiffeddigi

Right, talked to the mechanic and, I think, smoothed things over a little bit. This is a big fat mess of he-said-she-said and misunderstandings. I paid him some of what he was asking, but only promised to try to pay more before the job's done. Fair enough, I think, given that he maintains he only promised to try to meet our completion date.

DH is absolutely devastated by all this, and we've been taking it out on each other all day. That plane can't come soon enough; we really need to be officially on holiday.

WHOOP! dachs that's sounding like a good start. Here's hoping the 'more fertile post mc' theory stands true for you too! Good luck for Monday!

For Digi

Will catch up properly when we get home tom or Mon. So glad I checked!

Good news from dachs too

Thank you ladies. I was feeling distinctly unemotional about it this morning but reading your posts have reminded me how much we've all been through together.

dachs yay for fat follies. Thinking of you on Monday.

digi I am thrilled for you. You are doing everything right, so try to keep calm (says me) XX

dachs good news for growing follies xxx

tomboy - Be careful giving money out to a job that is not done yet - I feel very on your behalf xx

Nice to see lurkers to ! XX

Yep mummya Nice and big. They like the lead ones to be over 18mm and I have 3 over 20mm, so looking good. And lining (which they want to be over 8mm) was 11mm yesterday so will prob be about 12mm. There were the 5/6 follicles they had already identified and a couple of other had also started developing, so although they will still be very small there may be a possibility of 7/8 eggs. I'm not holding my breath on that though - i think they'll probably get 4 or 5.
