I had a weird day. I had an overwhelming day at work and told one of my work colleagues about ttc woes.

My work colleague told me about their iui journey and It felt so good to talk to someone in real life.

I am hoping this month results in a no show from AF as always.

thingy kerry ads winkle how you guys doing?

I have my blood test for my thyroid check next week. Nothing else exciting in ttc life right now. Long stopped symptom spotting.

Just praying we all see two lines on a stick soon. Fingers crossed for us all.

Best of luck with IVF Res...I would like to hear about it.I take 50 mg of Clomid and it throws me through some hoops throughout the month.This last AF I was hurting so badly I thought my ovary might explode,which I'm sure is due to cysts.That probably explains why I'm not getting pregnant..but who knows.I'm very excited for you....

Good luck res I really hope it works for you. No reason why it shouldn't. You've actually answered a question for me I've been meaning to ask. I was wondering how long the process takes. Good to hear its only a month.

resipsa · 20/04/2013 19:50

Anyway, am now on Day 2 of my IVF stimulation drugs and feel like crap. Not sure if you lot will want to hear about the details. Let me know. I won't be offended if you don't cause the whole concept is a bit last resort and you might not want to read about it. I've dallied with the other threads devoted to it but they are WAY too intense.

The terror/delight is that I will know one way or the other if it's worked in the next 4 weeks. Ecstasy or deep depression guaranteed.

resipsa · 20/04/2013 19:45

Hi guys. Hope you are all OK (aside from the obvious). I drafted a long post yesterday but lost it and didn't have the energy to redraft.

Thanks for your kind words after my last moan but it wasn't implantation bleeding, just AF arriving 2 days earlier than expected. My body has been less reliable this month than at any time since I began being aware of my cycles (circa Jan 2009!).

Gonna post and carry on with another to avoid yesterday's disaster.

twinklestar2 · 20/04/2013 16:20

Me too red. I'm so jealous of anyone with a bump and on this lovey sunny day I keep thinking what I would be doing if I had a baby.

RedRobin1 · 19/04/2013 16:38

Haha ads and *winkle good to know its not just me!

res any news? What cd are you on?

Yay I have a cycle buddy thingy Grin

Feeling very desperate now to be a mum. Saw a mother and baby swimming session the other day at the gym. I was staring so wishfully I bet I looked like a paedo Hmm so so so broody now. Just want to hold my own baby and give it endless cuddles and lots and lots of love.

Thingymajigs · 19/04/2013 14:28

oh, I hope that's implantation bleeding res. Smile
I got a positive OPK today so we are matching this month red. My cycles are now dead on 28 days with ovulation on cd14 which makes charting much easier. This is my last go before going back to the doctor for more tests.

Adsum · 19/04/2013 08:58

Oh no! Maybe have missed the dtd boat this month then?! Am only on cd7!!!

twinklestar2 · 18/04/2013 22:54

I always have rude dreams around OV!!

Adsum · 18/04/2013 22:21

Lol at red!!
That's so strange because I had a very inappropriate dream last night about a male friend of mine - we have quite a flirty relationship but I would never actually do anything - since the dream I have been feeling so guilty!!! It was quite a vivid dream... Grin Blush

RedRobin1 · 18/04/2013 19:30

Fingers cross res its the good kind of red bleed.

I feel like lately thats all my posts have been doing - big fat moaning!
So I thought I'd share my weirdly horny dream last night Blush It all started of with me and DH doing dtd, next thing I was having a three-some with my best mate and then it turned it a four-some with my best mate's DH. Oh dear lord! I will never be able to look them straight in the eye.

Oh and I had a +ve OPK yesterday and....funnily enough I slept after watching Bride Wars... so maybe that explains it Hmm

Sounds like good news!!! Oh please let it be:)

twinklestar2 · 18/04/2013 18:25

Could it be that implantation bleed we've all heard about?

Adsum · 18/04/2013 18:20

Ooh res - implantation bleed????! Sounds a definite possibility!! Fx for you! Smile

resipsa · 18/04/2013 11:00

Hey, small victories still need to be celebrated!

Well, I come on for a moan as usual. Was REALLY hoping this was our month as it's off to the IVF clinic if not. Bloody body decided not to give me a +ve OPK until CD26 meaning AF due on 20 April. Was going to wit for CD1 before shelling out £1,000 for the IVF drugs to start on CD2. So yesterday, I have some spotting and thought, well, AF will arrive tomorrow instead. A bit early but I am all over the place it seems so not to worry. Woke up today - nothing. Then at 9, some spotting. Just now, nothing. What the hell? I don't usually spot before AF, she just arrives. Is this CD1 or not? Grrr. Can't even get assisted conception right!

twinklestar2 · 17/04/2013 23:13

Managed to dtd last night without crying yaay me Hmm

RedRobin1 · 16/04/2013 21:17

Sorry kerry Sad don't know what to say - its all such an emotional roller coaster but lately we also seem to be going down on it

winkle that post made me well up! So lovely to read that. Thanks x

Hope your stomach ache goes away and you feel better soon. Dtd sucks right now as we both feel so demotivated and hopeless.

twinklestar2 · 15/04/2013 23:39

I'm sorry Kerry :(

I'm feeling crap today too. Have just dtd and I cried afterwards. I'm tired, I have a stomach ache and I didn't want to have sex but I had to in case this happens to be the one that gets me pregnant. So sick of this.
