TTC 10 months plus, supporting each other and staying positive. Another BFP one of course :-)

Hi ladies- join you on this thread I'm 18m ttc now and I must say your an inspirational bunch! But gutted because this month we have had sperm analysis and we abstained before hand for the sanple which fell right on top of fertile window! Gutted! But as DH said 'it's not happened in the 18m prior this month won't make a difference' to the point but true!!!
Day 21 bloods tomorrow xx

no its very inconvenient Roxy, feels like my ovary will burst with every thrust! but temp up this morning so this crazy post mc cycle is finally coming to an end!

lildottie ouch, pain doesn't sound too great a sign but you know your body better than anybody else! FX for a temp rise!

sorry for more bfns Roxy, its possible you had a cp given you had a bfp then the bfns.

sorry to hear you had a mc too. I imagine its pretty shitty however long you've been ttc!

hoping I've ovulated today based on the pain when we had sex last night, usually a sure sign for me! negative opk tonight which is first ive done this cycle. usually get a line pre ovulation but bugger all on this one so hoping for temp rise tomorrow.

Thanks both, I just got a BFN with a FRER so that's 1 positive IC, 1 possibly positive IC, 2 negative ICs and 1 negative FRER. I guess I'll see where we are in a few days - so disheartening though, it sometimes feels like it's just never ever going to happen for us :(

lildottie so sorry to hear about your MC, mine was only 2 days after my last BFP (before TTC and quite a surprise) so I didn't have much time to get my hopes up and it wasn't something I'd worked for - I can't imagine how devastating it must have been for you

I've no idea when AF is due - I keep track of them but there's no obvious pattern!

Roxy for me even the squintiest of squinters on an ic at 8d2dt after ivf was a true positive, so you can't rule anything out. I've heard lots of women on these boards say they get stronger tests in the evening. is AF late? I think the best thing to do is get a frer. my squinter was a solid pink line on a frer at 9pm. sadly my ICs which had got stronger got squintier 6 days later and 4days after that my mc started. my long winded point is a line is a line is a line so you aren't out. fx for you.

I don't want to cross-post because I just commented on the April bus I wonder if anybody here can advise... We had a faint BFP last night but 2 BFNs today, does that mean that the BFP was definitely wrong or is there any hope at all?

Didn't know there was an IUI thread, I think the first one I was on became stagnant. I did test with my cheap internet tests after trigger just to see if they work and what they look like as positive. Fingers crossed for that lady, I was told it takes about 10dpiui to get out of your system. I think it was 4.8, have had so many figures don't know if I made that one up now!!! I have to say my clinic have been amazing and all the fertility nurses are lovely, fingers crossed for your next round Vic x

Vic- Yes, I've always gone on cd5 and started injections that day. They did say they normally scan between cd3-5. My lining was 4.8 and follies less that 10mm. I had no side effects on my first round with the pessaries, only in second round so your holiday will be hormone angst free hopefully. I did ask for the pessaries, they weren't given to me as routine so you may not even be offered them. Our bodies are such weird things at time!

Thankyou Roxy and good luck to you for your bfp soon x

Oops, still getting used to how Mumsnet works - sometimes I get emails and sometimes I don't so I hadn't realised how many posts I'd missed in here since commenting a few pages back - so pleased to read your news, mama, congrats!!

I'm on 13 DPO now and still no sign of a BFP (or even a Little Thin P for that matter :D) so I'm much less confident that this is my cycle but still very pleased to have O'd so maybe I'll get another chance soon!

Sorry about your AF, non, fx for next time

Good luck non, hopefully it's third time lucky for you!

I didn't have mood swings on the pessaries Vic, just huge boobs and constipation! although the later was better when I changed to doing them vaginally instead of rectally.

Thank you non! And good luck for next iui, I hope it's the one! X

Vic sorry the iui couldn't go ahead, hoping next month it works out for you x

fx third times a charm metal. sorry about AF.

Vic definitely no need to put it on hold and a holiday in the tww sounds a fab plan! hope ur managing to keep ur dh off the fags and on the vits OK!

Mama I'm so happy for you both, congratulations on your amazing news. You are a true inspiration to us all and have shown that we can never give up!

Vic-gutted your follie was too big but at least you hadn't started your injections yet. Fingers crossed for next round. Annoying it's yet another cycle

Well AF didn't arrive for me last Thursday 2 weeks post IUI as expected. BFN on 15dpo, started spotting then AF arrived with a vengeance on Saturday :( I've been an exhausted hormonal bitch the last two weeks so I'm relieved to feel normal again. Those progesterone pessaries are not to be underestimated!

Anyway, had cd5 scan today so started last and final third round of IUI. Will be rescanned Friday, insemination hopefully next Monday. The clinic have filled out my referral forms for IVF if needed, just need our signatures. If this one fails, it's only a two week wait to go to the IVF clinic. Feeling fed up and frustrated with everything on hold, trying hard to be positive with it all but always have hope.

Hm, that does seem a bit strange. Hopefully you'll have better luck next month, and can then forget all about the 2ww on your holiday!

I don't really want to work full time, but there are not many part time jobs advertised so I thought I'd just apply for full time and if I'm offered anything try to negotiate. No point getting ahead of myself anyway, they'll probably turn me down for not having any direct experience or something along those lines...

Oh no, that's rubbish vic! Did they say what could have caused the big follicle and if there's anything you can do to avoid it for next month?

I had a job interview today, it went reasonably well I think and the job sounded really good, but I don't think I could make it work even if they offered it to me as it would be full time rather than my current 3 days a week, and include a 2-hour commute each way...
