BFP in 2013

Thanks for the good lucks, will let you know how the scan goes, as it's only day 8, I'm wondering if they'll be able to see anything interesting yet!? I had no side effects red, felt great on it, I've decided to believe that's because I've had a perfect reaction rather than it's not doing anything

Wish someone would tell my mother in law about the no correlation with stress thing I'm as relaxed as I can be in this situation anyway!

Had acupuncture last night, so am chucking eastern and western medicine into the mix and seeing what happens!

Someday - I'm happy to share every single bit of advice with you girls if it helps anyone.

winkle & thingy - so glad to hear stress doesn't impact 'results' - I'm in a permanent state of stress due to work / ttc and get so sick of people telling me it would all happen for me if I could just chill out. Annoyingly enough I did fall preggo just after an all-inclusive chill-out holiday last October (but that baby was not to be) so I thought people might have been right. Am back to usual stress levels (i.e. high) now!!
Am so pleased for you winkle that you're getting good advice (and sharing it with us!) and that you're feeling happier. Good for you!!!!
red - I know it must be frustrating for you with your DH acting like an excited puppy but it did make me chuckle a bit. Quite sweet really?! We mn-ers all have hope for you. IT WILL HAPPEN FOR YOU! It's just that life never pans out quite how we expect it to. But if it did then life would be very boring. (Am on the wine again tonight so sorry if I'm getting philosophical).
AF arrived for me today. Slightly annoyed as had done quite a lot of Dtd this last week, but also quite pleased as hopefully it will re-set my cycles after my op. que sera sera is my new motto. Let's see how long that lasts eh?

I'll definitely try to carry on then when. Once I ovulate I have a massive change in hormones and never feel up to it but I'm going to make an effort.
Good luck with the scan alex.
I've also used pregnacare for 9 months with no issues.

Good luck for your scan Alex. I've also been on the pregnacare for ages and my cycles are okish

winkle I thought I read somewhere that pregnacare conception has been known to mess up cycles, so I stopped taking that. If your hot consultant said it's good to take though, I wonder if what I read was a load of crap inaccurate?

I so want a bump too red, some days I can't think of anything else! I hope they can see a follicle developing at my scan tomorrow morning

thingy & red I think there could be something in the whole dtd after ov. We dtd 5 days post ov and it worked (we also dtd before ov).

Fx

I read a study the other day which showed no correlation between stress/anxiety and difficulty TTC or holding onto a pregnancy.
That's a relief about the vitamins. I occasionally wonder if I'm just throwing my money away with those every month.
No I'm not stopping yet. We're taking a break for a couple of days and then trying every other day or every third day. DP had this on going theory that we haven't been successful yet because we stop too early.

I mean the best tablets on the market! Stupid iPhone!

Fx for you red. With your OHs results improving so much you have to be in with a good chance.

Another thing consultant said was pregnacare conception and wellman conception were the next tablets on the market.

twinkle glad you got positive news from your consultant.

thingy excellent work on dtd

Thingy 4 days in a row is good going. Are you stopping now? Sounds like you need a break too!

I'm having a break this cycle. The hsg is on cd14, I can't dtd till cd17 and oh goes away that weekend anyway so I'm giving myself a well deserved break and will go again in April.

One thing the consultant did say was that stress doesn't stop you getting pregnant unless it stops you having sex. So relaxing and not thinking about it is bollox!

Hope that helps someone :D

Glad your appt went well winkle and glad to hear your DH is on board with taking consultant's advice too. Sounds like this should be a positive cycle and its reassuring to know that if you need it that you'll be top of the list for IVF. ((hugs)) however it happens 2013 is going to be your year of bfp hurray!

Haha! It's so nice to see it has cheered you up. Can't wait until we're all on the pregnancy boards.
Think I o'd today or yesterday and after dtd 4 days in a row poor DP is ready for a break.

The consultant was bloody gorge and lovely too

winkle it sounds like you got a good one (consultant, that is). You sound like things might have fallen into place for you mentally, too. A consultation helps you take back some "control" I think. Chances are that by this time next year there will be a baby wrecking your house. Exciting!!!

Thanks girls you are all wonderful. I can't wait till the day I can tell you all that I'm pregnant.

Oh winkle, this cycle sounds very positive then

He had agreed on the no alco - I've said I'll do it with him too.

I've already booked the tube flushing as we were in the hospital so we thought might as well do it while were there. Booked in for cd14 - they said it had to be done before cd15. Maybe cause I have a 30ish day cycle? Consultant said try like mad afterwards.

I'm hoping with the tube flushing and hub cutting back on alco - which he's been doing since the beginning of the year anyway - we won't be waiting too much longer.
