Nappy - sorry to hear about your brother. I'm assuming they only have one shot due to finances? That seems so unfair.

Are you just about to start your 1st cycle with Chlomid? Will be very interesting to see what that does to your LP - though you may never get to find out . Have to re-iterate everyone else's opinion. 34 isn't old, and if your hormones ARE crap the doctors should be working to sort that out.

I have DH on board for a shaggathon like never before. Should ovulate at the end of the week, so storing up all the little swimmers till Thu, then attempting 3-4 times a day till the end of the weekend . Well the sensible, every couple of days method, isn't working for us

Lottie - hope you are as relaxed and happy as your posts suggest

Hi all

Nappy - sorry to hear about your brother

We were unable to do IUI again this month as my body decided to ovulate over the weekend. So I'm out the game this month, but have been given a prescription for clomid and some other meds to control my cycle so this should not happen again.
So decided not to temp or look at my cycle this month as there is no point.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend and is well XX

ref the age debate:

I think you need to take account that fertility declines when you are over 30 - NAPPY I don't think you are past it yet - you are still OV after all (I'm also 34) but whether it is your age or a hormone imbalance there are things that can be done - I'd just do them quickly if it were me - even if it meant paying to go to a private gynae.

Sorry to hear about your brother, Nappy. I echo what others have said about age - I had DS when I was 38. I'd read all these horrible statistics and geared myself up for not conceiving but not only did I get pregnant but it only took 3 weeks of trying. So it's perfectly possible! It's taking me longer this time around but I am 39 now (40 later this year) - I haven't given up hope. My GP told me that we often follow our mothers fertility pattern. My mum had my little sister at age 43 so I think there's hope for me yet.

Also, a lady on another site I visit has just had her very first BFP after three years of trying (she'd never even had as much as an evaporation line during all that time). So I'm bringing some of her good news lucky dust over here for us all to enjoy!!

not sure if all the CD's are correct.....

Hi girls, thanks for the welcome! I have updated the stats for you, hope I haven't cocked it up!
Nappy what's this about being too old at 34?? I had my first baby 2 months before I was 35 (I now have 4 beautiful children) and still want 1 last one even though I will be 43 in 2 months! wishing you the best of luckx

Nappy are the Kalms safe to take if you conceive?? I am thinking of stopping the AD's
that I was prescribed 2 weeks ago!{smile]

I can understand that totally If it helps, try and pretend it's a placebo. If you get yourself in a state before you've even taken it, you might unwittingly sabotage it's efficacy by being mega stressed.

tee hee ladylush - you are quite right. I know plenty of good clomid stories. But I think you must have a web cam "psycho knife wielding" is what my DH thinks I am at the mo!! As well as constantly bursting into teats all weekend. Have been taking Kalms and they seem to have got me back to normal.

I know this is going to sound really odd, but we have been trying for what feel like ages (I know many have tried far longer) that I am actually quite scared I might get pregnant. (I did not really enjoy it last time) But maybe it is just that since august we have been more relaxed as we know our chances of getting pregnant are v slim, so you don't get to the end of the month hoping. Now I am worried I will have to go back to the horrific will I/wont I emotional cycle again. Still I have you guys and DH. We'll be fine.

sorry about your bro Nappy.

Nappy - oh no, so sorry to hear about your bro's failed ivf attempt

Old at 34? Sounds like a load of crap to me. If your hormones are out of sync and is affecting your ability to conceive, surely you should be referred to an endocrinologist? Anyway, try not to be too scared of the clomid. There is a woman on my thyroid thread who had stopped ovulating due to hypothyroidism. She got pregnant first month she started clomid. Better to think of success stories than psycho knife wielding ones iykwim

Oh forgot to say that my bro just found out their only attempt at IVF has failed and I am totally gutted for them.

Evening all. yes back to the top as expected dead on cue. I have to had it to my body not content with an LP of 9 (Mar07-Oct 07) it is now convinced that really I should have an LP of only 7!!! Apparently this is because my hormones are c**p because my body is aging! BE WARNED I AM ONLY 34. Let that be an incentive for you ladies at BD time!!!

ready love the pasta recipe sounds like even I could do it (i am notoriously rubbish in the kitchen!) But i am a dab hand with power tools so it balances out!

newbies welcome welcome I am the slightly mad (not quite as mad as RahRah) one who can waffle forever about nothing, and tend to make military analogies about BD time.

rah thinking of you.

minxi ended up having a PMT, stress based standup shouting match with my boss last Thursday, which really has rattled me all weekend. unfortunately he knows I am not taking Clomid yet! Dam I needed a good excuse. I have to say that the thought of taking this drug is really getting to me, but tomorrow is the day, so watch this cycle and see if we manage to get a better LP!! - can't be any worse at any rate.

Night All

Ready - defo gonna try and cook that cos it sounds delicious. Thanks

FYM - as you probably guessed I do like a nice cold glass of wine I did give up completely but got bored with life so started again. However, I don't usually drink during the week and I am abstaining around ovulation and during the luteal phase - though wouldn't not have a glass if out socialising for instance. Quite interested in the theory re alcohol affecting conception. I don't think this applies when alcohol is taken in moderation does it?

Heehee, FYM. I know what you mean; my DH often seems to disappear when there is a whiff of a present in DS' nappy. Can't think why that would be......

FP you don't have to worry DH changed DS will mark the date on the calendar!!!

Morning all! How's everyone doing today?

I managed to get loads of ironing done yesterday. It took me four hours in the end; four flipping hours!! I also got the house looking presentable for the viewing. The viewers were a nice couple with two children, looking to move to the area because the schools have good reputations. They seemed to like the house - they thought that it was much bigger than they anticipated, they liked how the two secondary bedrooms were fairly big and equal in size (instead of the thirs being a box room) and they had nice things to say generally. I can never tell with viewings though so I'm not holding my breath. I'll just have to wait and see if they put an offer in or what kind of feedback they give to the estate agent. Fingers crossed, though!

I'm impressed Ready - I'd be on MN all day if I got the chance!

Hanaflower -glad the performance went so well. You have to tell us about your workshop thing too. Sounds interesting.

FYM - I haven't given up alcohol completely but I have cut back (I was never a big drinker anyway). I now only have a couple of glasses of wine with an evening meal at the weekend only.

Hi to everyone else - got to dsah; DS has done a little present for me in his nappy.

all - just check your CD on the last post I seemed to have a numerical block when doing it!!!

oops try again!

hmmm - yes - have decided to cut down a lot - had a very bad time at work last year when I went back after having DS that finished with me being made redundant (boss just didn't want a part timer). Fortunately I had an impeccable record so managed to walk away with cash after I threatened to take the co. to tribunal.

but made me feel awful, depressed etc while it was going on. put on 2 stone in weight etc etc

feel a lot better now - started my own company which is going very well. now realise boss was completely unbalanced!

time for a new year new start I think (although it is feb already!!!)
