Im trying for an August baby

NewhereHelp FIngers crossed over here for you too!!!
TO all of you this is a great thread I have never really done this and if I did join something it was one night and I never followed up this is the first one you guys seem very supportive, just wanted to share that with you all!

Olivothanks so much for the well wishes I hope all goes well for you....Lets keep a positive additude!!! YOu may be getting your period or it could be early signs but I'll keep my fingers crossed Issy42 So sorry to hear about your misfortune PLEASE STAY positive...I try to. You'll find him!!!! and all will happen!!
Headfairy thanks so much for the info, I went to my Dr today and he said that if I ovulated on day 14 and got my period on day 24 then he would worry, something with my ovulating and my cycle being too close not allowing enough time for implantation but the fact that I got my period on day 24 and ovulated on day 10 shows him that my cycles are just getting shorter!(hopefully) ....got pregnant before and hope I can again just hoping it's me getting older. I had my first when I was 35 yrs old hopefully the next will be when I am 39*** Also got some blood work to see how my eggs are doing, he offered it to my b/c they test on day 3 of your cycle and today was day 3 wahoo at least I am lucky with my timing of blood tests. By the way HATE BLOOD TESTS! Hopefully it will give me some good news though. WHere or how do I get to the Sept thread?

I am hanging on in here too 1 day late now on an almost perfect 28 day cycle - fingers crossed I won't be needing the sept thread but not relying on it after some of the posts xxx

I'm out. Big temp drop this morning so AF will be here tomorrow/Wednesday. That was my last IUI attempt, so I won't be joining the September thread. Guess I just have to wait for that Prince Charming fella now - or cripple myself financially and emotionally with IVF.

Good luck everyone xxx

i'm still here sunny. i think lots are on the sept thread as well.

General question - are all of you gonna migrate to the September thread? Don't want to lose touch. I'm on a Christmas testing thread but haven't joined September yet. Bit scared of big new threads. Am shy!

Hi sorry to hear everyone is a little down, won't insult anyone by trying to join in I haven't been at this game long enough to feel the frustration that some of you are going through.

Keep smiling everyone

bubblebell, so sorry to hear you're so down. it's totally understandable. It must be so awful to be on such tenterhooks with no idea what's going on. Not much more I can say so I'm sending (((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))) I hope you get some answers soon.

Meri, I often have one randomly short cycle, then each month build up to a 28 day cycle, which I then have for a couple of months and then another short one, and so on, so I'll often go 25 days, 26, 27, 28, 28,28, 28, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28 and so on.... I guess it's just one of those things, hormonal blips. I'm also 38, and I don't think it's a sign of any menopausal changes in me, just one of those things. Frustrating though, it's why I have to keep a very close eye on things when I'm ttc, don't just assume I ov on cd 15 as I conceived ds on cd 13. I keep an eagle eye out for the ewcm and then get down to business every night for at least 4 nights. Its worked twice for me so far, failed last month cos dh went out and got pissed the day I ov'd - grrrrrr!

I hope everyone else is well, looking forward to hearing some more good news stories, I might pop in to the September thread to say hello but I will be back to keep up with how everyone's doing.

thanks so much for your understanding and advice... im def going to make another app this week.
i cant believe that your dr is that dismissive and rude. like i said it makes me sick that people are in these positions and dont teally have any empathy.

good luck trying and i hope you get lucky soon

My GP is a joke- for about 3 years I was going to her with symptoms of pcos, extreme facial hair, my head hair falling out, gaining lots of weight, acne, tired. My sister also has it, and has never had kids. Every time she would say oh no i dont think you have that and even told me when she eventually did blood tests for it that they were fine. I became pregnant immediately when I came off the pill but miscarried at 7 weeks and after 8 months (!!!) of no period after that she finally referred me to the hospital gynae who took one look at my ovaries and said both were very polycystic and took some bloods and said they confirmed it! was so mad as felt like i had wasted so much time. If I were you I would ask for a hospital referral as sometimes GP's get it wrong and it does help with the feelings of frustration and helplessness to know something is actively being done. Sadly I was prescibed clomid which didnt work for me either and was a real rollercoaster of emotions but still hanging in there. When i went back to see her recently to ask for metformin she had the cheek to say to me - well i did say you had pcos!!!!! wtf??? Christmas is hard for us though as last year we were pretty sure we would have a child by this time around and not even close... fingers crossed for next year. as you said i have been thinking about changing my doctor but think they are all the same really. I really suggest you ask your GP to refer you to gynae for a internal scan at least to rule certain things out and get the ball rolling for you.

lorel i feel for you... my friend suffers with pcos and it was an emotional rollercoaster for her while she was ttc. she is pregnant now but it took her 2 years to concieve. her gp did refer her to get medical assistance but by the time her appointment came thru she was already pregnant.

maybe i should ask the dr for some tests. i just dont know what to ask for.

could you try seeing a dif GP? 1 that would be more understanding and perhaps refer you for help?

it makes me sick that ppl in the healthcare profession dont actually CARE at all.

Hi bubblebell1- i am on cd 47 and I sooo know what you mean about feeling like a failure. no bfp but yet no af. I think that even though I would be upset at getting af that it is the beginning of new hope for another try whereas we are just in limbo land and it sucks. It is too difficult to compare yourself to others as well they are moving into the 2ww of their next cycle and we are still waiting, not so patiently. However I have pcos and my periods have always been like this- until i was ttc i thought it was a good thing and I was very lucky- oh what i would give for a 28 day cycle! my GP is completely dismissive as well- i think it must be in their training. I saw her last week and she refused to give me the only medication for pcos- metformin- because i was ttc- despite me knowing that lots of people on this site took it she blankly refused. i have now been ttc1 for 20 months and am losing any hope i had and yet trying to stay positive- hhhmmm its not easy this ttc lark.

god..... i feel lower than a rattle snakes tail [Fsad} got noone to talk to dh has gone sea fishing on his dads boat and i would feel like a twat speaking about it in RL,sorry if i depress you all. but ds2 isnt interested in mummy ranting.

i dont even think its to do with ttc, maybe it is. i feel like such a failure and am fed up with not knowing whats goin on with my body. i dont know why i havnt had a period or when they are going to come back. then i feel selfish that i am letting this get to me as i have two dcs already, i really didnt expect this and i feel that the dr and my family would dismiss my concerns and say it will happen when it happens.

wishing i will let you know what happens with the dr. ive done countless tests and all are -ve. im 3 weeks late on tuesday!! has anyone else been this late?? do i just have a normal period next month?? i so so wish AF would just show up and put me out of my misery.

sorry for my awful typing!

meri sorry ot hear AF caught up with you. I fera she might be on the way for me too - my boobs are killing me and i feelquite sick but it's to oearly for these to be pg signs, so i guess they are AF signs . having been on the pill for so long, i've never really had periods and their symptoms.
how is everyone else? We must be due some good news soon!

Just got my period today-totally stinks! Really thought I was pregnant. My period cycle was 24 days this month is it normal for my cycle t0 change it 2 months ago it was around 28 days last onth 23 and then this month 24. I am 38 by the way.....maybe my body is just changing??????

thank you everyone and sunnydale, i wont totally go, i will still check up on you all!! i want to be here to congrats you all when the bfps roll in!!

lets keep in touch with how the docs go bubble!! im hoping for some answers - so worried something is wrong!!

love to allxxxxxxxxxx

Wishing just echoing everyone else here - so sorry for your news, you have been such a support to me and so many others on MN - please don't disappear on us, we'd miss you, though I completely understand why you need a break from all this. Will you check in with any news? Much love to you and everyone else on this thread. Please, some good news soon. It's nearly Christmas for goodness sakes (Sunnydale raises glass of red wine and takes big glug - for she is definitely not PG and refuses to spend two weeks of every month not drinking)...

Thanks for the note Meri!

Wishing I am so so sorry. How frustrating. I am hoping your Dr has some helpful news for you.

Bubble hope the Dr can help you too.

xoxo

thank you ladies!! its nice to read your thoughts - i was wondering if bubble had heard anyhing??? dr called me again from home last night, i was very impressed at how helpful he is being he has done some more research about hcg levels etc and had some interesting info for me. He also said to be careful if i get any pain as he cant rule out an etopic pregnancy - im obviously a bit worried and really want some answers........im glad its xmas so i can concentrate on something else!! i have to our out of my mind ttc as i dont know when i will ovulate, i was sure i ov this month as i had 3 postivie opk with different brands and all the body signs, cm etc!! i just want everything to be ok!
