Want - my mum wouldn't have known if things had been straight forward but I've had 2 mcs and have really needed her support at times, and I guess in return she's need support too. She's so sad that we're struggling. It's weird - I've always had a feeling it wouldn't have been quick for me!

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 23/10/2014 19:34

English your aunt sounds so lovely! I wish I could speak to my Mum already about ttc. She is an ob-gyn... seems so silly going on MN and not asking her all the questions but I don't want her to know until if/when it succeeds! No doubt I will have to tell her when I do get pg as probs will end up getting scanned where she works so she will find a nice colleague to do it so i won't be able to hide

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 23/10/2014 19:32

Furtive so sorry to hear your news. At least you now know what is going on though, like the others say knowledge is power. I really hope that icsi or ivf, whichever route you go down, is a success. Sounds like icsi may be the answer if you do not have a problem with your uterus. Will be thinking of you and crossing my fingers Thanks

EnglishGirlsReturned · 23/10/2014 19:21

Furtive - you'll likely be guided towards icsi - where they inject the sperm straight in to an egg. Success rates are really good. Good luck sweet

EnglishGirlsReturned · 23/10/2014 19:20

Sorry you've had some bad news furtive. It must be really hard to take in but like Genni says - knowledge is power. And medicine is so advanced these days, there's absolutely no reason why you won't succeed! Stay positive lovely, you will get your longed for bubba.

I've just been round to visit my aunt - who rather surprisingly brought up the fact that DH and I are having a pretty long journey TTC. She was very sweet, made me cry - when ever she goes to church (didn't even know she was that religious) she lights a candle for us and says a little prayer! Bless her!

furtivefeline · 23/10/2014 19:17

Thanks genni. I suppose it could be a one off but I've been using OPKs for months now and never got a proper positive result so was suspicious something could be up.

You're right, in a way it's good that a problem has been identified so we can crack on and get treatment. Just so worried that there'll be nothing they can do since it's not only the ovulation issue but also the semen too.

furtivefeline · 23/10/2014 19:14

Thanks sunbathing. Yes I've got an appointment with fertility clinic for December but might even see if we can manage to go for private treatment to be seen sooner and possibly avoid long waits between whatever tests/treatment we need.

gennibugs · 23/10/2014 19:12

Oh furtive I'm so sorry. what did the doctor say? it might be worth repeating the tests, I know with mine I've had a couple which showed no ov but then this cycle my bloods did show ov - could it have just been a freak cycle?

Also knowledge is power - small consolation I know but it did help me cope with knowing me may well will need help. hugs to you.

flower thank you for the stats and fx all goes well.

wanttobe finding the perfect peepot is not easy!

whitwoo I hope everything is ok with your test. Let us know what they say. fx for you.

Still no AF here but cramps getting stronger. If she's coming I'd like her to come by the weekend so I can dust myself off, enjoy my weekend look to cycle 12 rather than spending the weekend obsessing!!

whitwoochantelle · 23/10/2014 19:06

Flower so nice hearing good news blowingsticky tape your way x

furtivefeline · 23/10/2014 19:06

Really bad day for me too today. Just got results back from GP of our day 3 / 21 tests and DH SA. Basically we both have problems. My progesterone was very low showing anovulation and DH semen analysis has a low count and zero morphology. No wonder we're not pregnant Sad. I've posted on the infertility board hoping for some advice as we'll definitely need to get some medical assistance with this. Doesn't feel like there's much point in me joining the November bus so I'll probably take a break from the buses for now. Good luck to everyone still hoping for their BFP this month - fx for you all Thanks

whitwoochantelle · 23/10/2014 19:04

I'm having a wallow over thinking night today phoned for my ovu results gotta go in Monday as they wouldn't discuss over the phone :-( wanted me in timmrow but I couldn't make it

spinningirl10 · 23/10/2014 19:03

Flower, thanks for the statsGrin

Wanttobe, wait till you pee in the pot, wander off to make a coffee and leave it on the side in the bathroom for dh to find......not that I've ever done thatWinkBlush

wanttobeamummyin2015 · 23/10/2014 18:52

DH has disposed of my pee pot!

He is away this eve, just had to call him and have the awkward "where is the pee pot, you know the little pot I have been hiding in the bathroom from you..." and he binned it!

I am so sad, it was the perfect size and shape. Now I have to put up with mammoth-pee-pot. We aren't friends just yet. I miss old-pee-pot!

flowerbombVR · 23/10/2014 18:47

Hey ladies x

Sorry I've not been on before now, between work, kids and sleeping I haven't had a chance.
I also have not read back, I can see your spotting Mzzzf! I hope Af keeps away x
Fx for everyone waiting to test x
Flowers for anyone the witch has got, Grrr!

Chandlers I saw the result of your scan. You and dh are in my prayers, fx for when you are home in London.

My stats Dozy.
I never documented anything as such as this was WTF cycle.

I was monitoring my cm and taking folic acid.
I had ewcm on cd 9 and again on cd13.
We dtd on cd 6, 7, 9, 10 & 13 am +pm
I had what felt like OV pains around cd8 - cd16.
Bfn on 20/10 cd 26
Bfp on 21/10 cd 27, 12 dpo according to ff and mc dates.

Hope you are all well and good and thank you all so much for all the support and congratulations.
So far no Af type pains so just hope and pray this wee one is stick.

Shiiiiiite think I'm starting AF early! I'm only 10dpo, so wasn't expecting it for at least another 4 days Sad. Think it might be progesterone issues as I normally never spot beforehand - BOO!

Going to raid the naughty draw for chocolate right now!

spinningirl10 · 23/10/2014 16:38

Xpost with you grandhigh, thanks for taking a look. I won't be getting my hopes up, I've done that once and now I've accepted that af is coming, even if she is going to arrive slowly just to be cruelAngry I've already decided I shall open a bottle of wine on Saturday night if she's arrivedWine

spinningirl10 · 23/10/2014 16:12

That sounds fair enough English, thanks for lookingGrin
I feel it's probably the soy messing with me. No spotting at all now.

TheGrandHighWitch · 23/10/2014 16:11

spinningirl10 I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it does look like the temp drop is due to af for you in my opinion Sad. I am really sorry if I am correct but I didn't want to get your hopes up just to be disappointed. I do hope I am wrong of course as we are due loads of BFP's as far as I am concerned. In either event, please have lots of Cake and Biscuit but maybe leave off the Wine until you know for sure either way.

EnglishGirlsReturned · 23/10/2014 16:07

It's really hard to give you any real idea Spinning - only time is going to give you a proper answer unfortunately. I would say a rise tomorrow would definitely mean you're still in, but if it falls again, unfortunately I'd say the witch is imminent Angry.

xBlueberry88x · 23/10/2014 15:53
