Anyone else trying to get pregnant ? 3

Congratulations on the job Bayleaf ... and the good news about the blastocyst (all a bit technical for my small brain but I think all of it is good so far ....?)
I had a chat with my doctor yesterday (I was there for something else) and we might have hit upon a theory as to why I am not conceiving at the moment (don't even seem to be ovulating .. she did a blood test on day 16).
Thought I would run it by my good mates here and see what you thought.
Anyway ... it's like this ... When I conceived DS I was very slim (57kg ... Just under 9 stone ... I am 5'7". I was also on a totally wheat free and dairy free diet at the time (for my skin)
When I conceived the one I lost I was also very slim (around the same mark) ... although not on the wheat free dairy free thing.
NOW ... although definitely not OVERWEIGHT ... I am now 65 kg (I think that is around 10stone) ... I put on weight really easily - always have done - and have to be careful if I want to stay slim. I haven't worried too much about my weight in the last few months as I am planning to be pregnant and have had it in the back of my mind that I would diet again later ... after baby no2 comes along.
Well ... My doctor said that this could have a bearing on my being able to conceive and that I might have a tight weight bracket where my body is 'fertile' ...
Does this sound totally far fetched or does she have a point. I am due to go on the pill in a couple of weeks for 3 months to regulate my periods again ... and she said that I might want to try to shed that extra stone while I am on the pill to see if that will make it easier to conceive ...
Is she bonkers or not ... what do you think??

oh, and congratulations on the job!!
Do you have to look after dd today or can you chill out at home?

good luck bayleaf. Fingers crossed for an easy transfer and hope you don't go too mad in the 2ww...

Best of luck Bayleaf. I am also ttc and am going technical this month out of desperation!!! I am using the opks and persona to try and pinpoint when the best time is for bd!
Hope it all goes well and do keep in touch - we are all thinking of you.....

I hope it all goes well for you bayleaf, i cannot imagine whats its like but would like to wish you all the best.

Bayleaf, we're all hoping and hoping for you.

bayleaf, best of luck for Friday. does that mean dh won't be with you at transfer?
Hope the interview went ok too.

Keeping everything crossed for you, Bayleaf.

Bayleaf I think you are so good to post on this -your messages have opened my eyes. Hope all your effort is rewarded and you dream comes true.

Good luck Bayleaf, thinking of you and hoping for the best of outcomes this time!

Best of luck for tomorrow bayleaf.

Fingers crossed for you for tomorrow bayleaf and good luck to the rest of you too.

I've been keeping away from mumsnet recently as only just keeping my head above water at work and didn't want to have to struggle with the addiction, so haven't been following everyone's news. Sorry about this month, dot1--sounds really frustrating, though at least it sounds like the ovulation is working now. When dp was ttc we had to miss a couple of months due to impossibility of meeting up, it was always so frustrating to miss a 'go'.

I'd be very interested in your experience with the parental responsibility hearing--we have pretty much decided not to bother with it though I wonder if that is the right decision sometimes.

Good luck bayleaf for Friday--and everyone else, 'conventional' methods or otherwise.

Come to this thread a litle late. I feel a little bit out of it but, at the same time can relate a lot. DS1 was a mistake, a brilliant mistake and I would not be with out him, but I was not intending to get pg at 19! DH and I decided another would be nice but nothing happened. Periods were up the spout but when I missed I was still hoping but always let down After a year we went to the drs. 7 pg tests L8r we are no further forward but have lots of promises, scans,tests etc. another 4 pg tests L8r and I have had enough "I am NOT pg" I screamed at the dr who struck me off his list! Great no way now I thought. I had always got on really well with my old dr. Mum had an appointment and I had gone with her. Dr suggested I transfer back to him so I did. Best thing I ever did. Although the process took a few months, I felt like I was getting somewhere after years of broken promises and pg tests. Pg test to start with, then blood test which had to be done on a day 21. Tablets to boost ovulation and 4 months after transferring back, I'm pg! Hooray!! Bad timing as although there is 6 years between DS1 and DS2 their birthdays are only 10 days apart!! Considering all the problems we had conceiving DS2 we were not all that careful and DS2 was 20 months old when DS3 was born. Help!!!!!
My sister is now trying for DD/S2 and is having big problems, same as mine but the tablets aren't working for her (6 months she's been on them). Mentally attitude is important, it is very unlikely to happen if your down. Keep and think positive. Just remember it's not the end of the world if it doesn't happen and it probably will. Good Luck 2 all of you ttc.

Bayleaf, good luck for next week. SOunds like you could really do without your interview - can't imagine your mind is going to be on it! But good luck anyway.
I've heard figures of 50% success for blastocyst transfer so I hope at least one makes it....how many will they put back? Presumably not more than two? Surely with 13 embryos you have a good chance....(but I am still baffled by how these things work out...I guess abundant embryo production is no comfort unless they decide to stick around, but surely sheer numbers must be of some advantage in giving you more chances....) All the best.

Yes, when I was pregnant I was really tender at the sides

Hi everyone,just wondering if there is anyone who has experienced painful boobs at the sides and been pg.When i had my others i had more heavy like symptoms and tingling feelings.I dont yet know if i am pg,still a few more days to go before i find out.My boobs feel like i will have a period, but there is a good chance i could of got caught.I am also feeling alittle sick,could i be imagining this?
