Stay as long as you like Stac - maybe you can rub some luck & dust the rest of our ways.

Well I'm back to square 1 - CD 9. Hoping that this month is the one for us. Especially with good inspection at work so have been given a couple of weeks to take the pressure off slightly so home life will be less stressful. I was home by half 4 today!

Looking forward to a weekend of xmas shopping! yay!

Whats everyone else up to?

jobobpip08 · 24/11/2009 10:05

Hi stac hopefully your scan date will be soon and it will put your mind at ease. The womb is already adjusting for baby so the cramping is normal, hard not to worry tho!

Lets hope some of that baby dust rubs off on us!

stac14 · 23/11/2009 20:13

Hey ladies,
thats me been refered to the midwife, can't believe its actually happening. spent the weekend worrying myself silly as have been cramping (its been going on for about 2 weeks) so asked the doc about it and she says its very normal as long as not bleeding. So she had a feel and everything seems to be ok, just waiting for scan date now. must admit I am a bit nervous, but think thats cos I havent been through this for ten years lol

jojo thats fab news, hopefully you will get an early xmas pressie

how are the rest of you ladies? all good I hope xxxxxx

jobobpip08 · 23/11/2009 12:39

Well, good news from my scan today, 2 big follicles and 1 small, so I have had my jab today so fingers crossed!

stac14 · 20/11/2009 20:13

Thanks ladies, I have the docs on Monday, tbh I am a bit shell shocked very happy obviously but kind of can't believe it.

Hi Clur,

KS2 aren't so supportive but thats prob cos they don't understand, only a few know tbh! I'm now eying up where people are sitting to avoid hearing half of it!

Hi all,
looking forward to the weekend? watching Children in Need!

That will keep me smiling for hours! I am delighted for you! Going off to celebrate with a cuppa and a jaffa cake! take care, feet up now!! xxx

stac14 · 20/11/2009 16:21

Hi ladies
How are you all? Spoke to the doc last night about the spotting and pains at my ovaries, he said it could be my cysts or maybe a urine infection so he asked me to take a urine sample to the nurse today. She checked it and its normal but as she has been dealing with me throughout the ttc she asked if I could be pg I said I doubted it so she tested just in case and would you believe it was bfp!!! I so cant believe it after 20 months of trying I am pregnant. If I go by my last period I am about 9 weeks but who knows as I did have a few bfns last month. I have the docs on Monday and have bought a clear blue digital to show dp when he comes home, only me, him and my aunt knows and now all of you.
Just want to thank you all so much for your support over the past months, I hope its still ok to come on and see how your all getting on
I am proof it really can happen for us baby dust to us all ***

Hi all
Well done stac keep it up!!
Im still waiting for my appointment date but been told i will know when it is by next friday.
Going away for the weekend for a big family party - cant wait we havent all been together in about 5 years!! and i get to see my mum who moved abroad a year ago but is back for party and staying for christmas, she is really supportive of everything so will be great to see her.
clure - hope all goes ok with your reults.
know what you mean about the work thing there are so many preggers in my office now i decided to tell a few what im going thru and it has actually helped a bit.
have a great weekend all of you.
i can feel a BFP coming on this forum soon!
keep positive and baby dust by the bucket load

Clure · 19/11/2009 22:34

Hi all

stac - well done on weight loss, everything counts.

hi thislittlesisterlola, jo, kiwi hope you all had a good day and looking forward to weekend

Fairy, thats positive you got af and can now look forward again. know what you mean about staff room, its unavoidable but I'm doing my best to zone out and smile politely. A few of the KS1 girls know my situation and are so supportive - Think we need this support don;t we?

I've emailed consultant to find out day 21 progesterone results. No Af here, not sure if I'm ov late in cycle or its just passed me by!
My DD is poorly and had her first day off school on Monday. She threw up sunday night, had a dreadful cold and has now got "folliculitis" poor love is on antibiotics and the medicine is vile. The threat of father christmas is always a good one in these situations!!

Fairygodmother1 · 19/11/2009 21:13

Stac you go girl! We'll keep fighting together!

Af finally came last night - quite releaved actually as I knew I wasn't preg & just want to get on with the next course! I'm totally happy for an Aug baby! lol! fingers crossed & all that!

Sorry for rant the other day! One of my best friends is a big girl & yes it took her a long time to fall with the first but she fell preg a month after giving birth with her 2nd! Told her she was supposed to wait her turn lol!

Clur we really need to be having the chats that others are having in the staffroom cos it's driving me mad & we can have our own little club haha!!!!

baby dust to all

thislittlesisterlola · 19/11/2009 08:38

hi all. How we doing? Weather is rotten here too am having a xmas is coming and im not ready panic. Xmas cake and pudding and gifts to create! Ok rant over. Stac i would call doc about spotting my doc told me it was quite common for ppl on clomid etc. Congrats on the weight loss thats great news. fingers crossed for you job! Hope your ok fairy i hate target weight loss everything feels slower. Hope your ok clure and kiwi have a good thurs baby dust x

jobobpip08 · 18/11/2009 22:30

Hi stac well done! Every bit counts! Re your earlier comment - my sil was around 25 stone and has 4 kids. She used to wait for every family get together to say to me 'joanne... babies?' in a really loud voice so everyone heard. Cringe. Didn't think it was a competition! You know the difference between in-laws and outlaws? Outlaws are wanted....

We've actually had sun today so I will try and send some your way!

I've got my follicle scan booked for monday and hoping that we'll be allowed to try this month.

take care all xxx

stac14 · 18/11/2009 18:35

hey ladies

just wanted to let you know I went to diet class and I have lost 1 and a half pounds in my first week, I know that doesnt seem loads but its a step closer to my goal yay

how are you all? the weather is rotten here but I need to go get some shopping.x

stac14 · 17/11/2009 22:59

Hey fairy We are the exact same hun, except I just turned 30, one of dps friends mrs is about 20st and fell preggers naturally but I need to fight to fall preggers and lose weight nightmare. Are you going to take provera to bring on af?

Hows everyone else? All good I hope, having a weird month have had lots of spotting but not a full af, do you think I should call the doc to see what to do? xxx

OP posts:
Fairygodmother1 · 17/11/2009 21:50

Kiwi,

Not sure I think it's IUI first but not sure - won't be anything if I don't lose at least a stone by Jan! So unfair! If everything worked properly I could be 18 stone & get preg - instead I'm a size 16 14st who's bit's don't work properly & end up having to lose weight & have people pull & poke me around!
Arrrggghhhh!!!

Thats my rant!

In a way I do have age on my side as I've just turned 29!

We'll just have to see.

Hi to everyone else!

CD 56 here!
baby dust **

KiwiKat · 15/11/2009 18:06

We're cd16 today, so I start taking the drugs the day AF arrives, usually cd29 or 30. Ulp. DH thinks we're rushing into it, but we've been ttc for about 2 1/2 years now - ds is 3 1/2, and I'm 43, 44 in January, so time is one luxury we don't have. Fairy, you think you'll go down this path as well?

Clure · 15/11/2009 17:52

Its a huge thing to take on board kiwi, we are facing this possibility, I don't know if I can do it, especially given the strong possibility that my eggs can't be used. When do you start? x

KiwiKat · 15/11/2009 16:56

Clure, we're paying for the IVF ourselves, and we're using my eggs. Not looking forward to the whole thing, am quite scared.
