TTC No.17 - Heres hoping for a very fertile New Year!

Good luck with it all Tania

Hi girls,
Just quickly popping in to see if there was any BFP.
Sorry Hester about that bitch arriving. Keep going girl. Just been reading some real sad stroies on the IVF Chat room about women that have been ttc for over 10 years and had years of failed ivf treatments too with unexplained infertility some have made the decision to stop ttc it just breaks your heart to read their stories. Made me cry and shit myself too.

Hula congrats on the ov+ fingers crossed for you this month.

Have fun Munnzie

Had my dates given to me by the ivf nurse when to start my first lot of drugs....very disappointed as it has put me two weeks back. Start the Synarel Spray on the 2nd of Feb then my first scan 1 week later to see if i have responded to the spray. Been on the pill since the 7th and have extreamly sore boobs, very tired, and bloated the pill just sux. Mind you i have been told that the other drugs will make me crazy, moody, hungry, fat, retain fluid and everything else that a woman hates. what we put ourselves through to have babies

Anyway enough of me really hoping for some BFP soon from you girls your the ones that are keeping me going i need to see some success stories.

Take care have a great w/end
LOL Tania

bloody computers!!!
just sat and wrote about 15 mins worth of a post (dead long) and it just crashed on me and lost the bloody lot!

Hester sorry about the old bitch! keep going woman ans I will!

Mun.....enjoy honey!

Sallie good luck love!

rudy hi I am a scorpio too!

Tan how are you??

btw - I've lost track...are there any weekend testers?

and not that scary at all, eh hester?

am off myself for now. will no doubt catch up over the weekend. Am childishly excited atm as am off to the panto tonight! The wonderful Sir Ian McKellen and Maureen Lipman in Aladdin - I can't wait!! Oh yes you can! Oh no I can't! etc etc...

And all of you lovely ladies (except for munnzie who doesn't need the encouragement) - have a good one this weekend. Thanks for being there.

Hester - sorry you fell blue about AF arriving but you are doing well to concentrate on the positive aspect of the body blitzing, sort of doing the same in reverse myself (iei planning on eating and drinking shed loads on holiday and work it out when I come home!).

Have a great weekend everyone and here's looking forward to another exciting and 'possible' week for all of us.

See you Monday x

Rudy, you're a love. I'm saying 3-6 months because at my age I think at some point I'll have to decide to move on, for my own sanity. It's not like when you have a dh and can just carry on making love forever, hoping that one day you may get lucky; it's an exhausting process to organise and undertake. Ask SweetFudge! (Btw, where is SweetFudge??) And yes, the donor won't be around for ever.

Anyway, I'm just feeling a bit sorry for myself because I just went to the toilet and guess who's here... But have decided to spend the weekend planning a really serious blitz on my health, plus getting hold of a reflexologist, and give it a really serious blitz for the next three months. There's no point being wimpy at this stage; if I have to bow out, it will be with all guns blazing!

Have a great weekend, lovey, and thanks for your kindness.

hester - just noticed there's a thread on ttc and reflexology which may be of interest/use.

((((Hester)))) honey. BFNs are the pits . I know you're in a difficult situation and this is probably really annoying but please try and stay positive. As Sallie says you know now that your body can do it so there's no real reason to think that it won't do it again. Are you saying 3-6 months because of the donor? Would you be able to get another one? (She asks, having no idea how these things work). Would DP carry on? Try and take each month at a time and not put too much pressure on yourself by thinking that you haven't long left. Please don't give up on yourself as you can bet that we're not going to give up on you!

hi Sallie - thank you for dropping in . Glad to hear all is going well for you. I've had my second month with persona and it isn't working too well so far as this month it asked for tests between CD 10 and 17 and then on CD18 I got EWCM! Still, not blaming it as I had a 41 day cycle last month so I think it might take a bit of time to work me out. Am just glad to have had the EWCM so at least I know my body is doing something right!

Hi Sallie, it's lovely to hear from you. How lovely to be nearly past those terrifying first six weeks. Hope all continues to go well for you.

I'm a bit lowish because of this morning's BFN. Reckon I have 3-6 months ttcing left, and then will be time to move on. So I'm going to really go for it, try to do everything right, and then at least I will know I gave it my best shot...

Rudy, there's nothing WRONG with scorpios as such, I just find them scary... I'm sure you're a lovely scorpio, though! [ingratiating smile emoticon]

Wifeof - I use medisave which are cheap, but a bit annoying because you can't do them in the morning.

Byeee Munnzie, have lots of fun

Sparkly - maybe you've tested too early even though you're overdue? I didn't get a pos with my ds until I was 5 weeks. Good luck!

Good old AF for me, but have decided to take control and book appt with GP.

Also, need more OPKs. Can anyone spare me ploughing through zillions of messages and point me in the direction of the website that sells them online?

Cheers, Wifeof xx

I think it's just till you have the first + day hula. just BD anyhow! lol.

Jeds (jjust saw ur post on how much u and DH BD - How do u manage it that much! we start off well, everyother day for the first 10 days ish, then it's every 3 days ish, then by the week b4 AF it's once/twice a week ish, and AF wekk - wellm that's just a complete wash out! lol. so I guess at least we BD over the vital time! (CD5-15ish every other day) or is it best to bd every day in the week upto OV?

(don't think i could manage that, it's too knackering! lol

I got a positve on my OPK yesterday and then a temp rise today; do I need to test again today? Or can I leave the other tests for next month?

lol, yes Hester must agree no to the scorpios - (DH is a scorpio as is his mum - they're both stubbord as a bloomin ox and always think they're right!) i'm on for a january baby I think, or maybe March (i'm pisces and we're lovely! lol)

he's after sheppards pie and home made choc cake! lol. (bloomin cheek!) so I guess that's what i'll be making! He should be in about 6pm ish as he's currently in Swindon getting on the train home!

Sorry about the BFN hester. it will happen thou hon.

congrats Hula - hope u take full advantage of the OV+!

ooh and the girl I work with know's of two Ppl who are PG, (I know of one) so she thinks this month will be for me and i'll make her third person! - I can only wish! lol, but there's still space on my three for two of u!

This is prob last time i'll be able to use the net until DH has sorted ours out, so good luck everyone, and i'll chat to you on thurs when i'm back in work, if not b4!

just found some stuff on zinc and the toxic level is above 300mg a day which seems very high so I'm sure a normal supplement wouldn't go anywhere near that.

That sounds like an amazing job Hulababy. I have a friend who used to be a prison governor and has worked in all sorts of rehabilitation areas, etc and I think it is fascinating. I really hope you get it. I have a lot of admiration for people who engage in that sort of work. Good luck .

BTW, no idea on how much zinc - I was just going to get DH a ragular multi vitamin type one.

I teach Business Studies there, but when I do more days it might change. Other subjects they ahve em ear marked for (yes - they are desperate for to go and have been pushing for this for ages!_ are IT (my school subject), drugs awareness, other life/social skills too. Or possible the hospital wing class - which is a bot more one to one and varied. The Advisors job I fancy trying for in one to one, on the house blocks, looking at one the inmates have in terms of education and talking about their futures, and then matching them to the right courses and workshops, etc. Not teaching at all - but I really like the idea of it.

That does sound good hula - what do you teach? (Sorry for all the questions, just interested but tell me to bog off if you want!)

Runtus - just saw your thread. So sorry the clomid didn't work this month . I know little about it but as others have said it sounds like it will take a little time. Very frustrating I know. Try and focus on having a fab and wild time on your holiday and getting back on with it when you are back. (((hugs)))

btw OI HESTER - what's wrong with scary Scorpios???

Rudy _ at the moment I teach there one day a week. But I am going to look at doing 3 days a week (and resigm from my 2 days at school). Looking at an advisorers role too - but have to apply and get that. EWill definitely go for it and see what happens. If I don't get it hen I will do 3 days teaching.
