TTC Thread 15...........a thread full of babydust.

hi girls

afterva while of thinking about it,if dont get pg this month i'll get persona.do u have to buy a new 1 every month? what annoys me,i know it may sound silly, but if u follow the instructions,do everything u have to do on time and so on, why dont u get pregnant then?

ah RL, I vaguly remeber that b4 mumsnet! :o have a good one hon, fingers crossed 4 u!

I see JB thanks for that

I have decided to insist on clomid, I am not going to take any more fob offs not at my age!

Right off down stairs to watch a bit of tele!

(don't mind askin - don't remember much from my prev gyno probs as I was 5 when it all started)

two reasons,

1. I was being a pain in the drs backside! he he no seriously my dr was excellent he said once we'd been trying for 6 months to go and see him if nothing had happened, we went at 41/2 months as DH was flying out to Iraq, (told the dr was 6 thou as I wanted it to be sorted for when DH is home) DH had is count done, was normal first time, I had two blood tests done, (one normal one low) - the normal one was on cycle 6.

2. given my past gyno problems from when I was a child I wanted to be referred ASAP incase anything was majorly wrong I wanted to know sooner rather than later. Only havin 1 ovary makes me a bit more protective over it.

Thanks JB good luck for the 11th......if you don't mind me asking why where you referred??

well tell u what hon, seen as how we seem to be shadowing each other to a degree, I have my gyno app on the 11th Jan (I only had to wait 8 weeks as well) so if i'm first i'll let u know and vice versa?)

I did ask my mum thou (given we're so close) what I should expect and she seems to think the first app is all about getting to know each other the back ground story, poss taking blood etc... I have to take a urine sample along with me thou.

yes, JB I mean the Gynae Doc
My Dr said she would referr me after 1 yr and now that is here, so I am now wondering what the first meeting with the Gynae doc will entail???

for the gyno u mean?

No I haven't JB

I am now wondering what the first referral will entail....does anyone know?????

well the rate my cake is going it will still be cooking at bloo*y new years, (i've got the second family recipe!, had the sponge one last month) Fingers crossed for the drs for u. Have u had to have the purple thing done to test if ur tubes are blocked (if u don't mind me asking a personal q)

Hi JB the gym was fab! (well dead boring really ,but I felt better after I had done my work out!) would rather have cooked a xmas cake !!

no idea with that jed, but when I asked if the dr could give me something to help out with the syptoms etc... I was having - the sick boob thing and generally ratty and being a bitch, he said there was stuff he could give me to help the hormones, but wouldn't as they'd effect my chances of conveiving - I took that to assume it would be a similar thing to the pill and chose not to go ahead.

How was the gym? (I missed swimming tongiht in favour of baking my xmas cake...... god i'm naughty, haven't been for a week.... must go on thurs)

JB it seems we did buys our personas at the right time....I am sure though if cockenzie keeps an eye on ebay she will get a good deal. Cos thats the thing with ebay isn't it.....you have to put a bit of elbow grease into it, to get the best deals.

Not sure now how the Drs will go....as I am ovulating but all over the place....23,29,30,26,35,24. I am sure I have heard that they can put you on clomid to regulate your periods????? Anyone out there know?

Sorry about AF Hula and Morningpaper. I know I am late, but have been gone and just gotten back to a computer.

Hello again, thanks for the welcome Jingleballs

• home now and just picked up my new pills from the chemist. I've taken my first one and I know it;s daft but fell loads better already! Got to wait 10 days now to finish the course and trhen I should have a period, on day 2 I start the Clomid!

Jeddah - he gave me the Clomid as my cycles were getting longer and longer (as this one shows!) and when I have ablood test, it showed I wasn't ovulating. I had to be very precise about my cycles (the average thing seemed to help) and ask directly if it was becuase I wasn;t ovulating. Dr seemed to like that I had tried to find out the cause rather than just moaning it was taking ages to get pg. He reckons that I should be pg within a couple of months of taking Clomid!!!!

DP is now terrified I am going to turn into a hormonal monster due to all the built up 'pressure'!

Good luck to you waiting.

Seem to have lost my BBT thermometer at the moment. Have no idea where it's gone. I suspect DD may have had it playing doctors with - now have to find it!!!

jed looks like we got there just in time with the ebay thing, just had a look now for cockenzie and they're all £30 ish with 2 days to go still.

evening all, how are you all doing good I hope.

There's a loada new faces here I think (or jsut xmas names!) first of...

Rantus/Rudy... ello strangers.. (((big hugs))) (missed ur tips of persona rudy, jed and I have ours now and have been to-ing and froing of each others! lol.

Jed - glad u finally had a green day (in the good way!) hopfully u'll catch as it were.

Cockenzie, - def go to ebay hon, they're a lot cheaper.

Tania - Thanks for the advise on the AC. Next month i'm gonna stop taking it I think and see what happens. (I'm not keen on having a cycle of 24 days if I OV on day 14 ish?... obviously all depends on when I do OV thou, (looks lovingly at persona!)

CD 8 here, still on a red day, not that it makes too much difference!, hester should I get PG this month or next i'll be buying the whole lot of ya a weekend away in that health spar thing! lol, :o It would be the imaculate conception (do u think he's tads can swim 2000 miles lmao :o )

cockenzie

We bought our personas on ebay they range from £10-40!!!! and is far more cost saving than buying OPKs every month!

Have a look on ebay! they are brilliant!

Good luck with the breast feeding!
