First time TTC?!! Let's get through this together!! Part 2

good luck BSL i have a similar situation at work which is why i am applying for another, i am even prepared to risk missing out on mat pay for it. my job can be hard but the Drs who are struck off usually either have a serious criminal conviction (you wouldnt believe some of the sickos we have), serious sexual harrassment or are so bad at their job and have no insight into their failings, we do our best to rehabilitate the ones who want to be helped though. As i say i mainly see the negative in Drs in my job which is another reason why i want to leave!

Anyway enough about me! linwin i am to see you have cheered up today, keep up the positive mental attitude and you will be just fine!

Hello everyone,

Happy to report I am very much cheered up today - everything is still a mess but I've had so much support from friends and family and you guys have been so amazing thanks a lot!
Also the stress means I've had zero appetite so I've even lost a couple of pounds

summerbird really good news about your granddad

Flirty glad to hear the sickness has returned and fingers crossed for you everything will be ok.

My sis (the one who didn't know she was PG until 7 months ) is due to give birth this week - so excited for her and can't wait to see my new little godson or goddaughter

MAF hope all is well and bluestar pooper about how long you guys have to wait for results from the doctor - any more symptoms to spot?

Big hugs to all

I dont mind announcing on this thread that my job involves striking doctors off so i am sceptical about every single Dr i see and make sure i look up their registration every time! on the plus side it makes me really appreciate good Drs as i just see the negative ones in my job!

I am feeling OK about Thursday, she did a lapo because i passed out at work in March with period pains (not being dramatic but i wouldnt be surprised if it was an early MC as we had just started TTC) and have had problems for years, when i told her we were TTC she arranged a full on root around! they found a cyst and two polyps which they removed but also tried to look at both my tubes but only succeeded with the right one as the left one was either playng silly buggers or was actually blocked. she did say i should be ok conceiving as i always ovulate.

dont worry about being clueless, i had to google it before the op as i didnt have a clue either!

I have a non TTC related 'hurrah' moment, i have just found out that my beloved Granddad does NOT have bowel cancer! He had to have all kinds of operations and tests last week, it just turns out he has IBS - thank F for that!!! I love him so much and would be devastated if it was the C word, but - hoorah!

dont worry BSL in my and my DH's current roles we would both agree with you that Drs are as much use as a chocolate fireguard,
i was just jumping on this thread to ask you how you were getting on! but at least you will know soon.

My hospital appointment has been brought forward to Thursday, it is to discuss follow up from my laparoscopy and for the consultant to decide whether to give me an xray to see if my left tube is blocked.

LOL I thought as much!

hi all just checkin in. I'm so sorry a lot of you are and feeling down. BSL I don't trust doctors much at all (I still haven't been to see mine!) but like I said, I may go I. Armed with my MN knowledge in 6months (well that would make it three now-god!I can't believe I stopped taking it June [shocked] ) my experience is that they often don't know what they are on about. I do appreciate it's a difficult job and they can't just 'guess' by then surely the admin sides should speed up with relation to test results etc! Mine were lost once but I was informed everythigg was ok. About a year later I received a call from a new doctor who had found them and was really concerned. Resultin in me spending months and months on horrible pills

Ok- rant over! LOL

I am really busy at work at the moment and a bit fed up as I still haven't caugh up on all of my washing/drying! I known it sounds mad but I just can't relax in chaos and as a result I have not been sleeping well. I had a crazy dream last night that I had used my free test and was pg-is that a sign?? LOL I was really confused when I woke up as to whether I had actually done it or not!

jeepney is that bonifacio as was? if so hi there i was wondering where you were hiding!

Hey ladies

Come on lets get some more BFP's :0

Hey everyone (name changed its B)

Just coming in quickly to say:

Saz Congratulations i'm so pleased for you!!

BSL I hope your results come back ok, I read on your other thread that it is going to take weeks. I have my fingers crossed that both your 2WW and your sperm wait go ok!!

Flirty Good luck at the booking in appointment, maybe at the minute it is too early to be having symptoms? Hope it goes well!

Dawn The house looks lovely I hope yuour offer gets accepted!!

MAF Sorry you got a BFN especially after a LFN.

Wildfig I hope your symptoms result in a BFP!!

ALso to everyone who is haveing trouble with the "credit crunch" I hope things look up for you soon!

Good luck to everyone this month, I hope for some more BFP's!!

Hey Ladies.
Thanks for all the kind words. I feel much better today. I picked myself up off the ground LOL. I live in Canada, in a really small town in the Maritimes. So needless to say resources are limited. My Dr. is so dense. I almost want to print out a bunch of info on clomid and drop it off to her and tell her to read up on it and get a clue.
I now know that this is in my hands, and I can choose to get discouraged, or choose to be proactive, and get myself to the next town and get this journey started. I called my Dr, and left a message that I wanted to go ahead with the referral.
Babydust to all you lovely ladies....anyone have any GOOD news today???
xoxoxox

good luck flirty all very exciting times!!

oh and CONGRATULATIONS on yacking up your lunch!

Thanks Dawn and Bluestar - amusingly, I have just been immensely cheered up by vomiting up my lunch! (TMI! - Sorry!) . I didn't realise implantation was still going on so that's good news - could account for the sort of brown stringy discharge.

I'll be leaving home in and hour or so for appointment...I'm excited and nervous. I have a sort of phobia about giving blood - no idea why! I am not scared of hospitals or needles and have no issue at all with injections, but for some reason giving blood turns my stomach. Still - all in a good cause. Just hope the midwife is sympathetic... Don't really have any questions to ask them...will havea good think on way there...

Flirty x

Hey Flirty,

Just to give you some supportive info, when I spoke to the doctor at the EPU, she said to me that Implantation can actually take a long time and as the baby buries deeper into the womb over the first 12 weeks, you can still get some sort of bleeding. It is very common so please don't worry.

There are so many changes and with the uterus stretching and changing aswell, it's likely to cause some spotting. The cramping is also very common. Apparently the uterus goes from the size of a fist to the size of a grapefruit and that's just by week 6, so that's a lot of growth, you're bound to feel something.

You'll remind me of all this of course when it gets to my turn again!!

xx

PS: Linwin, thinking of you today hun....

Ladies...I'm so sorry so many of us are feling sad... Big hugs all round.

I've got more brown stringy discharge today and can't decide if I'm now imagining cramps too! My mind is playing cruel tricks on me!!! I have my booking in appointment this afternoon and am so worried that something will go wrong before I even get there...
I'm 8+4 and the all day feeling of nausea has tailed off a little, which is also worrying me. My DH thinks I'm mad to be upset at not vomiting every morning, and I can see his point...but I'm concerned.
I still haven't had red blood which gives me hope, but it seems like such a long time to wait another 4 weeks til the scan...

Flirty x

wildfig vix and BSL we all seem to be on the same cycle, i am CD18 and 3DPO, no symptoms as yet, my coffee is really tasty! I eventually finished my application last night and am sending it today - hoorah!

wishin that is a rubbish way for a GP to speak to you, (summerbird on work mode alert!) but if you are unhappy you could raise your concerns with the Practise Manager or PCT, its not GMC territory but the PCT should at least be able to instigate some resolution.

linwin i thought of you this morn when reading the newspaper articles, i hope you are feeling a little more positive today.

dawn and saz i am keeping my fingers crossed for you this week.

virtual hugs for all our girls going through this shit at the moment. xxxxxx

Feeling quite down after my shitty ass Dr. appt today. So I went for a follow up. This is my first time on Clomid, and AF isn't even due till this weekend. So I have no idea if I'm preggers, ovulating, having a litter of kittens nothing LOL. And she starts saying. Wellllll if you don't get your period and you aren't preggers were gonna have to start thinking fertility specialist. Which would be fine cause I'd rather see someone who has a sweet clue what they're doing. But then she informed me they are scare my small city, only 3 practicing right now and the wait list is well over a year because "and I quote....infertility is not exactly their top priority, they focus on the women that are actually pregnant" I was gutted. And this coming from a woman. So she basically said my other option is go to a city about 1 1/2 hours away to see a specialist there. So I just really hope my period comes. But I don't even have a plan for another round, she only gave me one month of clomid. Yikes........sothats my day in a nutshell. This is going to be a jouney I think.
Hope you ladies had a better day then me
Babydust to all.
xoxox

Hugs Linwin So sorry for what your going through

Fingers crossed for some BFP for you ladies

Yes! Let's distract ourselves with some Mystic Meg symptom spotting!

I am CD20, DPO5 and so far my "symptoms" are

• funny taste in mouth (prob. folic acid, as per last cycle)
• sore boobs (prob. caused by endless prodding)
• runny nose/sneezing (prob. caused by, er, London germ cocktail?)
• internal twinges
• coffee tasting funny (quite serious, as coffee is my friend and comforter, even the wimpy decaff version I've been forced to embrace these days)
• crying over dog rescue website (normal, to be honest)
• deciding this is a Very Bad Time to get pregnant, thanks to work deadlines, arrival of new dog, row with landlord, etc (most certain to result in a BFP)

summerbird and vix aren't we on similar cycles? Any twinges?
