BFP 2013

bloody hell Kerry!

FX for you Kerry that you dont need to be on this stuff much longer, sounds painful :( That's a crazy story isn't it about those 3 girls? Really sad, some sick people out there. Is this yours and OH's 3rd child together?

ooh ads, could it be implantation bleed like red? red drank the grapefruit juice post shag to help the swimmers so I'm going to do the same!

res - where are you? keeping my fingers crossed for you.

I have no idea. I hope its just too early to get a clear positive yet.
I just have one glass of grapefruit juice during the day or usually when my energy is lagging in the afternoon. It seems to work no matter what time you drink it.

Good luck winkle - I broached the subject of stopping drinking with DH yesterday - not popular but hopefully he will be on board!!
Might try grapefruit juice too - so u drink it post coitus?! I thought it was dependent on what cycle day you're on?

Well I'm not cd1 as bleeding stopped leaving me feeling very as though af is about to come but no bleeding! Wasn't really due on til tomorrow anyway but don't feel preggers either - boobs not sore, not tired like have been with last 3 pgs, and bfn too- grr! Had erpc in Feb - surely it can't still be messing cycle up!?

I'm still not sure about conceive plus either. I don't think we need it and I think it could be awkward to use so I'm going to leave it. We've probably pushed up grapefruit juice sales by 500% in the last few months.
When is AF due kerry?

We're gonna start dtd tomorrow.

Throwing everything at it this month as it'll be 3 months since oh has had a drink so I'm going to not drink either plus I'llbe drinking the grapefruit juice post coitus! Anything else? I'm still umming and ahhing about conceive plus...

You're right, I should get a second opinion. The first doctor told me to come back in May so why would she have said that if there were no other options? The PCOS thing didn't quite sound right either but I agree that I'm not presenting with the more obvious symptoms but I thought heavy periods, acne and losing hair might be a sign of an issue.
I'll book an appointment with someone else if this cycle is a fail.
Thanks everyone.
Dtd starts tomorrow. How is everyone doing? Especially res, how many dpo are you now? Any morning sickness yet red?

Agree with the others thingy, doesn't sound like great support from the doctor, I'd get someone else to talk to. I don't like my doctor much but I don't think she'd do that. She was very honest about the baby stuff. And she can say uterus. Also, is it true you are born with it? I thought it could develop? Or perhaps that's just it can get worse.

I second what red said, you need to see another doc and get referred to the fertility clinic. There are loads of tests they can do on you.

So sorry winkle and ads

thingy just wanted to say your doctor sounds horribly rude and clueless. It's not the end of the line for you. You should demand to see a fertility specialist! Someone who knows what they are talking about.

We got referred and they ran several checks (bloods,scans, Fallopian tube test, sperm analysis) before diagnosing us with unexplained. How dare he ask you a question abt children and so bloody rude I would get a second opinion or change surgeries!

oh, one more thing. He questioned why I wanted a child. "So your partner doesn't have children? Is that why you want another?" I think that's what annoyed me, I felt judged.
I refuse to feel upset by someone who refers to my uterus as "your bits".

So sorry ads.
I haven't got anything positive to say either today I'm afraid. The doctor said that I had reached the end of the line in regards to NHS help and told me I had unexplained infertlity. Brill. I wasn't expecting them to offer us assisted conception or anything but a scan would've been helpful. He said "it wouldn't help". Meaning basically if there was something wrong that was discovered by the scan nothing would be done about it anyway. And he says that PCOS is lifelong so theres no way I could have developed it.
On a positive note, they have found no reason as to why we couldn't conceive easily. So its just a matter of time.

Sorry she got you, ads.

I really don't understand life sometimes.

CD1 - I'm off to spend some money.

Sorry to hear that winkle - it's so hard. I keep feeling that somehow in the balance of things something really great must be just around the corner for people who experience pain like this...

So sorry for bfn ads x

Met a friend for dinner. She's 3 months pregnant. Started trying at the beginning of the year. Crying on the way home :(

Oops! Should have said everyone else (what's dele?!!!!)

BFN :-(

Good luck for everyone dele though! Especially res for next 2 weeks x

fx for everyone on this thread and for many more bfps rolling in.

winkle All my research on the internet told me that we had 1-2% chance of natural conception where antisperm antibodies are concerned. I had given up all hope. But I now do believe all it takes is that one elusive bugger to make it through. I am wishing for your bfp every day as much as I wished for mine.

res when do you find out? Praying for you!

Good luck thingy this month and good luck at the doctors. Keep me posted with what they say.

I brought grapefruit juice too

Oh ads, that spotting sounds promising. My fingers are crossed for you.
Good luck auntie.
I feel the same winkle. It feels possible now. I really hope you are next.
I'm on CD6 and I'm off to the doctors this morning as its been a year, well, 11 months anyway. DP has started taking the ridiculously expensive pine bark and we are also geating up for the fertile week. Its all about the grapefruit juice and SMEP this month.
