Counting down the days till Wednesday

xkatyx · 22/05/2010 11:38

Hello,

No more clues here, still feeling sick, tired etc. But given up hope i could be oregnant as got BFN.

All very annoying, how are you doing?

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 22/05/2010 10:33

How is everyone doing?

xkatyx any more lues as to what's happening with you?

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 20/05/2010 17:47

I would go for it regardless, especially if you are now getting positive OPKs - you never know!

xkatyx · 20/05/2010 10:48

Oh no lol that doesn't sound like the ideal situation, i really really hope this is your month!! fingers and toes crossed!!!

I'm baffled too, also all mt ovulation sticks is positive already and have been for last few days i give up lol.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 19/05/2010 19:57

Yep - I'm on CD6, with a usual cycle length of 28 days.
Key time is from next Wednesday and WILL NOT get AF on the 12th of June!!

I will be very p***d off if it doesnt work this month, as June & July are really hectic and will not be ideal baby making situations (think 6 days in a tent in the middle of a festival and two weeks sharing a cottage with SEVERAL family members!!)

xkatyx you have got me baffled, I'm so sorry that your body is misbehaving and leaving you so confused!

xkatyx · 19/05/2010 17:22

I dont have a clue, i has what i thought was a start of my period tuesday 5days early, lots of brown spotting till sat then heavy flow sat and sunday now hardly there brown spotting again, its so diffrent to my normal period!!

I feel so sick and dizzy so took a pregnancy test yesterday but negative so i dont have a clue i feel pregnant but obviously not.

i think my next period is die april 6th but that would be 28 days which my cycle used to be, but last one was 23 days so i dont have a sodding clue, im usualy so regular.

ijceb · 19/05/2010 16:50

Yeah I think we are all on new cycles:
I have a 24/25 day cycle
Next due on 31st May / 1st June

ijceb · 19/05/2010 16:44

No problem IfAtFirstUDontSucceed I get so fed up with the GP's I find it really difficult to be assertive with people, and it is sad that the louder you shout (not literally LOL) the more they will do to help you.

I wouldn't let your age worry you. I had another problem that needed to be sorted before we started TTC and the GP looked really shocked that I said I didn't want to put off TTC much longer (I'm 29 and DH is 39) as I felt I was getting old. She said there was plenty that they could do to help if we had problems.

xkatyx - what do you think is going on? do you think you could be?

xkatyx · 19/05/2010 14:16

Hello ladies, how is everyone?

I'm still having odd preg symptyoms felt very dizzy today had a lie down that turned into a late morning nap!! doubt ill sleep tonight.

how are you caija?

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 18/05/2010 21:40

Thanks ijceb, after puuting it down in words last night I realise how crap it's all been and I should be a bit more assertive, been thinking about it all day today!

Had a heart 2 heart with my bezzy mate this afternoon who is currently going through her 3rd round of IVF and she put it all in to perspective!

No way am I going to wait a year, I'll wait until August-ish, then I'm going back to the doc. We've wasted so much time TTC#1 that we've completley over looked what would happen (and how old we'd be) if we wanted 2,3,4...!!

xkatyx · 18/05/2010 17:44

So we are all on new cycles, when is everyone due on? or how many days are they into there cycle?

xx

ijceb · 18/05/2010 16:40

Welcome mummy23gawjuslads

How is everyone today?

Thanks for the advice xkatyx I have decided to give up on the OPK's and just go back to BD every couple of days.

OMG - IfAtFirstUDontSucceed what you've been through seems so unfair. I don't know how you have managed to wait as long as you have.

XX

mummy23gawjuslads · 17/05/2010 22:25

yh regular as clockwork. i duno wen i ovulated its normally cd 14. well i feel sick have done 4 the last 5 days and my breasts r really tender and i fell bloated

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 17/05/2010 21:57

Ha - might join you with the pineapple juice and green tea - I'll try ANYTHING if it helps!

Welcome mummy23gawjuslads!
Are you normally regular, could there be a chance that you OVd late this month? Do you have any pg syptoms?

mummy23gawjuslads · 17/05/2010 20:44

heya can i join plz?

me and my dh have 3 ds and want 2 try for a dd. we started tryin last month my af was due friday and hasnt shown up. took 3 hpt got bfn on all. im so confused

would really lyk sum help?

xkatyx · 17/05/2010 20:35

oh yes the butt in the air got me pregnant all 3 times on the first months.

i also read a small glass of pineapple juice aday whilst trying NOT on 2ww wait, is supposed to be good, that and grean tea im drinking the lot

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 17/05/2010 20:20

Not sure.

We did the deed in the afternoon AND the evning for two days before I got a positive OPK and then once the day after, other than that, a pretty normal month.

I think it may have been the "bum in the air" action afterwards that did it - I didn't bother with that last month!!!

xkatyx · 17/05/2010 20:02

Oh what a nightmare, well at least you know it has happend once, can you think of anything you did diffrent that month?

x

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 17/05/2010 19:42

Yep, had thyroid & 21 day blood test done (checking progesterone levels) and they were both fine.
DH had tests done, he was fine too.

Was due to have a further blood test, and then a swab (can't remember what for) and then he was going to put us on track for IVF which would have happend later this year.

Now, have to wait until at least Feb next year, before we can start all that again

xkatyx · 17/05/2010 19:03

Oh my goodness, that is so un bloody fair!!!

Have you had all the usual blood test's etc, i ask as my friend has been trying for her baby for 10 months and gp did blood tests and she had a thyroid prob, got it sorted and she got her BFP last month

ijceb, i wouldn't worry to much about the stick's it could be you ovulated in the afternoon and the sticks didn't pick it up as you tested a diffrent time, i would follow your own body or i have been given the advice of try every other day , that way partners sperm is in full supply healthy and there is bound to be some sperm about when the egg comes.

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 17/05/2010 18:23

xkatyx we've been trying for about 3 years (about a year and a half just no using contraception and a years & a half activley trying)

GP referred us to a fertility specialist in February who lined up a load of tests, unbeknown to me while we were sat in his office I was actually PG!!
Spoke to him after the MC and he said that there were no need for the tests now as the pregnancy proved that we both worked, and to come back in a YEAR if theres still no bambino!
A WHOLE FLIPPIN YEAR!!!! We are back to square one!

ijceb · 17/05/2010 15:11

Glad things are sounding so much better for you xkatyx

I'm really confused over the online ov. calculators, it said that I would be ovulating between Sunday and Tuesday, but I'm using OPK and still no :-) perhaps this is just going to be a random month where I don't ovulate. XX

xkatyx · 16/05/2010 21:15

ha ha how odd!!! i think you might be my ttc buddy lol

We went for the everyday approach this month cant believe it didnt work, we have been so luck that with both dc we fell first time, also with the early mc forst time, so im a little worried to why, sounds so daft i know.

did it take you long to concieve before?

IfAtFirstUDontSucceed · 16/05/2010 20:13

Flippin heck - you are a mirror image of me

I had an early MC in March. I'm normally 28 days, but was 27 last month, with a late ov day!

I was convinced that last month was THE month as we tried really hard - if you know what I mean!
