TTC 10 Months Plus, Supporting Eachother & Staying Positive :) new thread!!

Darn it, 4th month running I've had a tampons worth then a day of nothing! Does this mean I was day 2 for the bloods or not?! I've not the classed the other times as day 1. I bet tomorrow will be full blown complete with pain. Pain free today and yesterday. Darn darn darn!

Yay blueberry! So glad it looks like you're about to ov! What CD are you? Hope you catch the egg now you know there will be one!

Sorry you're in pain Laura. I get them bad too, though not this month weirdly... Plus only have tiny bit of blood. Hmmmm

Hope you feel better soon metal

That's great news blueberry, maybe you'll catch that egg that's just about to pop!

Sorry AF is bad laura, I get it quite bad as well sometimes, have even had to phone in sick on the odd occasion. Hope you feel better soon.

Hope your bloods were all ok today vic and you're another step further along the road.

I've felt lousy all day, like I'm coming down with a cold or something. This was not helped by the fact that I'm currently 7dpo and the waiting is starting to get to me again, as always. Just hope I'll feel better tomorrow as promised I'd take DD swimming if she's good.

Yay Vicky glad AF turned out when its supposed to lol.

Had my HSG today it bloody hurt but im all clear everythings clear no lumps or bumps and she said my left ovary looks like it might be just about ready to ovulate!

Got some opks so gonna see what happens and the doc (a she for once thank god) said to get right on with the dtd!! Theres no risk!

Still a bit crampy now and it made me bleed a bit but im all okay!

Woo-hoo Victoria!

I'm currently in the depths of pain with the mother of all afs after not having one for 7 months my body isn't taking it too well!

as odd as it is to celebrate AF vic woohoo! glad she showed up! some good luck for you at last!

Yippee vic! Is amazing what we get excited about isn't it!?

Update! Just started at 2.30pm! I can still have bloods tomorrow woop!

Oooops, cd30 and nothing yet. Bit of brown yesterday for one wipe, and today (tmi!). not a lot on the way of cramps or anything. Mild uterus heaviness. Am in an evil foul mood with everyone and everything! If today is not day 1 will have to cancel bloods tomorrow! Called yesterday to see if I could come Thursday instead and nothing available until next Monday which is too late! Am still hopeful it will be later today though.... I really don't want to wait another month! It must be stress delay as I ovd cd15 so should be yesterday or today.

Hope everyone's ok x

glad you are on the way to referral may. sucks that there is a year waiting list but at least you have a timeframe to focus on now rather than the never endingness!

Vic any news on the witch yet?

Just had my third lot of day 21 bloods taken due to my unpredictability vic so know where you're at!

Dh has final sa on Wednesday and then we should finally get our referral from the gp. It does seem to have taken forever but fingers crossed the referral will go in at the beginning of August for us. I've been advised there's about a year wait if ivf is required which I suspect it is.

But given its looking likely there may be'problems' with both of us I'll just be pleased to be given a chance.

Hope everyone has been enjoying the glorious weather (between the thunder storms).
As always trying to make the most of it and all the things I couldn't do if I was upduffed or had a child in tow.

After all the panic on Saturday morning I'm still waiting on af! Feel like it might come any moment and I'm on crotch watch! At this rate I'll be cancelling bloods on Wed for being too early not too late! The only appointment they had was 11am! Have to take the whole morning off work for a 5 minute slot. Really frustrating.... Feels kinda crap just having to go to work for the pm. All the best stuff at work happens in the mornings lol!

blue I was told no unprotected sex for the whole month

Hi all, I posted here a few weeks ago but have been a bit rubbish since (trying not to think/obsess too much although not having much success at that!) Firstly big congrats to m33r, so great to see a positive story you must be over the moon! Fingers crossed everything goes well for you.

Just wanted to say thanks for the support and advice after my last post. I have been ttc number 2 for 11 months with really irregular cycles (last one was 63 days), went to see my GP last week and she was really helpful and booked me in for bloods even though we've not been ttc for a year because of the long cycles. From reading other posts here I guess I am one of the lucky ones with a decent GP! I had the first blood test earlier in the week (she said these are usually day 3 but it doesn't actually matter as long as pre-ov and because of my long irregular cycles it was best to just do them straight away, the key thing is the comparative with post ov).

Anyway according to my fertility monitor and temp I ovulated on Friday, cycle day 21, which would be the earliest by far since my DS was born so I'm really pleased and trying not to get too hopeful. I really tried to think positively this month and cut down/out caffeine, sugary food and alcohol so maybe that all made some difference. Have '21 day' bloods booked for Friday (1 week before AF is due) and will have a follow up with the GP the week after.

Hope you're all enjoying the stormy weekend!

The docs and the form I got for the hsg only said no sex before.

My doc even said it might help get pregnant after.

Has anyone else been told not to have sex at all?

Hi Victoria - thanks for the welcome.

I have coughed myself into gagging a few times however when I've vomited it has taken me by surprise and there's no nausea beforehand. The gagging feels more like overeffort in coughing. Probably just from the coughing but I've never done this before.

I had a very early MC a few months ago and I went to the gp who told me that's what it was. He chuckled in a kindly way and said I had plenty of time after asking my age. Worried I might have to convince him to send me for tests if af comes. I'm 23 Btw and my partner is 24.

Like you say though af does come with a silver lining if it comes this month!

omg Lindsay that is ridiculous! I was offered a choice of clinic, can you change to another one? I'd seriously consider it if I was in your shoes. was it a consultant who said that? I thought clomid was to induce ov not for lp so if you are ov I don't think it would make a difference if u didn't get cd24 test and took it. are you taking b vits?

Lindsay OMG! I despair of the medical profession I really do! What a bag if shite!

Hi lady welcome to this very friendly lovely group :-)

Sorry to hear you've been poorly the last few days. Bit odd you've been sick with a cold, I sometimes get sick if I have a really bad cough and get a gag reflex but not spontaneous like you describe. Fingers crossed it means something for you but as usual it is a waiting game :-( If it does happen to be another bfn at least you can now get some tests done having reached the magic 12 months. Best of luck and we're here to support x

lildottie This IS the fertility clinic!!! Can you believe it?! The specialist also told me she had never met a patient who didn't have a 14 day luteal phase.

Hello ladies I'm ttc #1, this is cycle 12. Starting to feel a little down especially as people I know who've been trying for only a few months are already pregnant. Also both our families know so I'm beginning to feel like I'm getting sympatric looks.

Over the last week of my time off work I've had a cold and a tickly cough. In the last few days I've vomited 4 times (twice today) after coughing only once. Didn't feel nauseous and normally being sick hurts or makes me feel upset this was like bleh then found sick on my lap (sorry if it's tmi!) not like me, usually I'm a martyr. Thinking it's just a cold but my af is due on Saturday (I have a short cycle usually only 25 - 27 days). Fingers crossed it's early sickness.

Yep Victoria couldn't be anything to do with those things (but my god they sound worth it!!) xx
