wannbe , coggy pussycat, anyone else from ttc jan thread whos not got there bfp

am ve excited for you coggy. now how will i get on the computer on thursday - can i email you my number just in case? or if I email it to trace she can txt me? I need to know before I go on holiday, or when I'm on holiday if need be.

I've been stupidly allowing myself to be hopeful for me as well - have had strange stretching type pains all day (although have been telling myself I've not been as good as I should on diet so maybe just that?) also am ve tired, and feel this need to stretch all the time, dunnow what that's about lol. no no no no I mustn't mustn't mustn't but trace ... any feelings?

Thank you all!!!

Doesn't seem very long ago it was this time last cycle!!

I actually had one or two days then when I allowed myself to belive it was possible.

I am very excited about my LP.....but only going to allow (?) myself to get excited if temps stay up and no AF tomorrow.....then I think I will start to be a bit hopeful!!!!!

fingers crossed!!!

Sorry for buting in! But i want to wish Coggy the very best of luck, got everything crossed for you!

How exciting.

Fingers crossed for Thursday x

well I'm almost ALWAYS hot and sweaty two days before AF is due so we shall see.

I reckon that if I get to CD27 then I will be more than justified in testing - that'll be 14 dpo.....really like normal people!!!!

That'll also be on Thurs so you and Trace can know before you hols!!!

(IF I get that far..........)

Oh good luck coggy ! xx

coggy !

hot and sweaty can also mean pg you know - when I was pg with ds I was very hot - almost like hot flushes...

Am keeping everything crossed for you, are you going to test any time soon?

Oooh - I do like using those little faces!!!!!

I hope you get some impressive undies for £100 Natty!!!!!

No AF..........no cramps........11 dpo.......

...................IT'S A WORLD RECORD!!!!!!!!

However.....just to bring us all back down to Earth with a bump.....the last two nights I have been REALLY hot and sweaty in bed (nothing to do with my DH!!!!!) and I usually get this for a couple of nights before AF is due.

So I am kindof expecting temps to drop tomorrow morning.....
......won't that be nice....AF arriving on the first day back at school??!!!

Hi Trace!

Much better thanks. Still sick every day, but much more cheerful. Trying to tear myself off MN and get on with my work, which is definitely an improvement on the summer when I couldn't even look at the screen without chucking (sorry: tmi).

How's things with you?

Hi everyone.

Just popped on to check whether AF stayed away coggy

Also, hope this isn't AF Trace.

Wannabe: read your post about your DH's sperm-count. Just wanted to pass on the wisdom of my DH's consultant: he's the world expert on infertility (specifically endocrinology): on the telly quite alot. (Dr Boloux: affectionately known as Doctor Bollocks).

He said that a low sperm count doesn't make you infertile (as the NHS are so fond of putting on their test-results: including ours), it just means it's likely to take you a long time to get pregnant.

The question is, I suppose: are you prepared to keep waiting? I for one totally understand the desire to throw the towel in.

Have you considered feeding him on on zinc- and selenium-rich foods (brazil nuts, liver, red meat) and then throwing yourself into something completely different and see what happens?

I know this kind of advice sometimes drove me mad, but a low sperm count is actually less of a barrier to conception than you'd think (especially if you lisen to some doctors).

Just wanted to say something, as I know how it feels being with a partner with a low sperm count and the mutual guilt it engenders.

Feel free to tell me to mind my own business.

Well i thought i might get 7 nights worth for that.

Morning all

Suss really hope this attempt is successfull for you.

too old to adopt at 34 and unable to adopt due to disability - what is this world coming too!!

Hope AF is staying away for you coggy.

Completely understand about the lack of sex drive i have been with my partner 9 years this october and have to admit it all seems such an effort some days/weeks when all's you want to do it go home from crappy work, eat and sleep. If only we could get pregnant through cuddles and wanting it so badly.

Oh well i am off to the gym for my re- assesment, and think i may invest £100 in new bed time underware later this week ready for when AF has come and gone.

hiya all

wow suss too old to adopt at 34? That's outragious, how can ss departments possibly hope to place children if they set those kinds of age limits - I mean most people decide to adopt once they find out they can't have a child naturally, so if they set such upper age limits then surely they are vastly limiting the numbers of people able to adopt. I think though it does depend on where you live which is what is so crazy, and the process is very burocratic. I know for instance that I would be unable to adopt because I have a disability, despite the fact that I have a child of my own who is not deemed to be at risk or anything like that, and I have never had any dealings with social services. But the disabled are not allowed to adopt - that's where the discrimination act has not yet caught up - surely people should be judged on their individual abilities as parents, not just under a broad banner. I know a couple who were told that they would be unable to adopt because they were visually impaired, but they were told they could foster, but only other disabled children, because if parents of non disabled children found out their child was being fostered by disabled parents this could cause trouble, uh.. surely if your child has been taken into care you forego the right to ahe decision on who is best to care for that child? Suss will keep everything crossed for your IVF cycle - I do agree with Coggy, after so long sex does lose its appeal.

Coggy am hoping there is still no sign of your af this morning? Think we're cycle buddies aren't we - I'm on cd24, and as yet have had no sign of the pre-af spotting which I've had on previous months, so I'm taking that as a good thing. Last night dh said we should sort out all ds' baby things to put on ebay, but I can't bear to part with them yet.

Thank you Suss.....only seems a couple of weeks ago that people were crossing their fingers for me last month??!!!

It does all get very un-spontaneous (?!) after so long trying doesn't it??!
I do sympathise, as I think we all have experience of this!!!!
I hope this IVF experience works for you and that, if we need it, our adoption agency is slightly kinder age-wise to us!!!!!

Mind if I join you - this thread is a good read! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you coggy - we have met on another thread. I am intrigued by your discussions about IVF and adoption etc. I got pg with my DB on my 10th attempt at IVF, and yes it is stressful, but not half as stressful as the adoption process esp when they tell you at 34 that you are too old to adopt a baby. I don't know about age but I am now 37 and next year I will doing my 13th and final attempt of IVF in the vain hope of having a sibling for my DB. I know We should be trying naturally now but I actually can't bring myself to, after seven years of trying There's not a lot of sex drive left - any tips?!

Just popped in to see if anyone is about?

looks like no one is around so i am off to watch Lost that i have taped.

see you later.

Like rats deserting a sinking ship!!!

I'm off too....really ought to get a bit of work done this afternoon!!!!!
