Hello everyone,
highheels - Totally echo garden 's WTF -- what is this shit about being happy and stress free... Has anybody really conceived that way??? Best of luck with your clinic appt - I am adding my crossed fingers for you and garden
bella good going on the gym front - I chickened out this mornign - so will need to find time before lunch or in the evening to burn those calories!!
kurly sorry that you are stressed. and what's with these insensitive sods that make up the medical profession... your exp sounds really similar to mine...reading your post I could see my specialist saying the same stuff...completely blase - you're just a check mark on my today's calendar and no, I will not give you information that is helpful or admit to my own ignorance on this matter!!!
cherry glad to have you here for however long you want to be :)
tomboy fingers crossed for you - it aint over till ....
garden when's your scan hon? I have a good feeling about this -- best of luck and happy follicle spotting :)

LankyLegs · 07/09/2010 08:25

Morning all,

Goodness we have a run of good luck with BFPs and then some not so great experiences. I Hope everyone is feeling ok - TTC is so ridiculously up and down it really can take its toll.

Kurly wish I could offer some words of experience but I can't. All I wanted to say is that try not to worry too much about it -are you still testing? We are here to keep you distracted until you have your appt. I can imagine it must be really hard waiting and worrying.

Raspberry hope your pole dancing session was fun! OOh and very exciting with no ERTD just yet!! Only 2 more days until you test again - hope you are not going too bonkers!

Hello cherry so lovely to hear from you! How is it all going? Are you 'feeling' pregnant yet or is it still a bit unreal?

Highheels I just wanted to say something about the digital ov tests - I often missed my LH surge with them as they advise to test in the morning and your LH surge is most present in the middle of the day - have you tried the internet one step ov tests? I use them and around CD14 - CD17 I test about 3-4 times a day that way you can see your LH surge rise and fall. The digital ones are a) very expensive B) not as sensitive. Good luck chica - I know it is frustrating. Your GP sounds like an idiot and I hope your hand is a bit better. (Sorry am potty mouth - but I hate insensitive medical professionals). Good luck with clinic though.

Tomboy no ERTD is a great sign - keeping everything crossed for you. Are you fully recovered from your horrible accident now? It sounded really nasty. Hope your DH is better too. I hope your bloods come back with positive news - but remember everyone has anovulatory cycles - my last one was one.

Garden loving your style - getting sozzled on a Monday night - glad to see you propping up the bar at the three follicles!

Hello lovely bella well done for getting to the gym! Hard core! I have not managed a session this week yet - but will try and take encouragement from you!

Womanly glad you are on the SWI-wagon and also not letting those nasty kids stop you from achieving your goal. You go girl!

Hello to toria and alien and everyone else!

Flick my loves where are you this morning hey? Hope you are feeling better after your headache and also feeling positive about your check up yesterday. Come back!

No news from me - manic at work and would just like to be bloody pregant now and have my year off Grin ! 3DPO ..... very boring .... very slow..... someone fast forward me to 12DPO please?!

OP posts:
LankyLegs · 07/09/2010 08:32

Forgot to mention - kkas my dear hope you are feeling ok and can see some light at the end of the tunnel - thinking of you and your DH.

And kaloki very much excited about your wedding - hope the plans worked ok in the end with the venue and you are enjoying the whole experience (as stressful as it can be - please remember to enjoy yourself on YOUR wedding day!!)

OP posts:
Bellaby · 07/09/2010 08:33

Good luck highheels!

I love how I go to the gym for the first time ages and suddenly I'm dedicated Grin - you ladies are the best!

I've just eaten a big breakfast as a reward and am having steak & chips for lunch Hmm

womanly I hope you find the motivation to go later

Morning Lanky - don't work too hard! I'm like you just impatient for my 'gap year' Wink

felicityFlick · 07/09/2010 08:39

Phew- what a busy day! but I don't feel like I have even done anything Hmm

Thanks so much for all of your messages of support yesterday. I am feeling much better today and feel like a weight has been lifted from my shoulders .I am not worrying about my cycles anymore as I feel I have taken control and now things are going to be sorted out whereas before I was just worrying and going crazy in my own little brain! Plus, on reflection the doctor did not seem too worried about the multi-cycstic ovary and said that the cyst on my left ovary would hopefully disappear. I think I am quite a cyst-y person as have had one on my kidney before that disappeared so am keeping fingers crossed... either way, the doctor said she would get me ovulating if it turned out that, that?s what the problem was so I am just going to relax and trust her! When my ERTD arrives I?m not going to use my CBFM, I think the problem this month was perhaps that it detected the hormone surge but because of the multiple follicles on my right ovary none of them got big enough to hatch so hence no actual ovulation. Thanks garden for helping me to understand! I am not going to temp and am not going to worry about when I am ovulating as I might not be. Instead, I am going to SWI every other day throughout my cycle and just try to chill out. To help with this I have booked my first session of reflexology for tomorrow so hopefully that will leave me all zen like Grin- I am also going to try and do more exercise and drink less Hmm I love having a plan, incase you couldn?t tell :) Enough about me anyway as I am VERY boring

zippys Thanks for coming back to let us know you are ok. We?ve all been missing you. You are sounding really positive about ICSI and you never know, as you said it only takes one little spermy and as they are being boosted by all of those lovely vits..... I can?t remember if you said before that you have private medical insurance? If you do, does it cover ICSI? Come back soon and update us sweet xxxx

kkas I?ve been around long enough to remember you talking about your dh before. So sorry that you are going through it again. I think it does sound like an emotional issue, like the poor guy has got himself into a bit of a viscious cycle like you said. I think that the fact it seems to be an emotional issue means that couples counselling could really help you guys as he seems to be putting lots of pressure on himself. I don?t have any experience myself but friends of mine have been and it has really helped.

kurly Try to stay positive honey. Your doctor said it was very unlikely that you had any of the things that can cause a false positive and he certainly wouldn?t have mentioned it of you hadn?t of directly asked him. Try to stop googling too [hypocrite emoticon] as all is still well and is going to stay that way :) Did the doctor say anymore about dating your pregnancy?

bellaI still want to be in the christmas club! I am picturing you in it too :) Any signs of your ERTD arriving yet? have you a date in mind when you might tentatively POAS? Well done for gyming today, you put me to shame! I didn?t comment about your house in Kent yesterday, but how lovely to be able to get out of London at the weekend! When do you think you will move there permanently? Desperate for my ?gap year? too! Grin Enjoy your yummy lunch!

crazy Thanks for the link honey. You haven?t actually left us have you? You must stay! Miss you and your chatter :) Definitely buy Mad Men- You?ll LOVE the clothes even more when you watch the series.

raspberry good symptoms!!!!! YOu are very restrained to wait until Thursday to retest- hope you enjoyed your pole dancing!

lanky We are cyst twins! What day are you going back for your scan next week? I?m sure it will have cleared up and gone away. No, she didn?t mention ERTD. I wish I had asked but I forgot to. I might phone up in a week or so if it?s still not here and see what she can suggest as I am eager to get those bloods done asap. I do feel like it is on it?s way due to the hideously sore nips which always come about a week before ERTD arrives but who knows with my body these days! I am planning to book the Fat Buck for Friday lunch so glad you said it was nice at that time. I?ll be back in the UK on the 1st October for a flying visit to a friends wedding where Mr. Flick is best man and then again for Christmas and then sometime in the summer. As for long term... we?re not sure. Our contract was for two years but we can extend it for another two years. We think definitely four years in total (so three more) but we sometimes talk about being here for six in total.... not sure! Thanks for asking about my headache- I actually woke up with it today but rubbing some magic 4head on has kept it at bay all day. It is the sort of sicky headache I get just before ERTD so I hope that means it?s on it?s way but as I said above... who knows?!

I remember that someone asked me whether the wedding I am going to in December is at the Fat Buck as well but I can?t find that post so sorry to whoever asked but No, the wedding is in a converted ten mins drive away from the Fat Buck.

garden Your explanation really helped- thanks lovely. I think I must be a bit like you as I have had regular cycles which indicates ovulation but then I have also has long ones and I remember your ovulation being described as irregular but not absent. I have been reading today and there is a higher than average chance of multiple pregnancies (as in twins etc, not more than one pregnancy!) with multi- follicles/cysts on ovaries as a couple can sometimes get big enough to pop in a cycle....EEEKKK. Definitely think you should chuck in your client so you can spend more time on here! LOVE you sozzled post too, where had you been? Have you rescheduled your scan for tomorrow or are you just going to wait it out?

Where is cave?!

womanly Thanks so much for your detailed advice lovely. It really made me feel better to know that PCOS is so common and that most women don?t even know they have it. Can I ask you a question about running? Do you/have you always enjoyed it? I think I need to start doing something other than swimming but I just hate running. Am wondering if I might grow to like it if I persevere?

cherry the Three Follicles loves you too. Don?t leave us! Have you any new symptoms and have you made a doctors appointment yet? Still so excited for you!

higheels Good luck today with phoning the clinic. Be firm and assertive- maybe write down all you want to say and have it front of you when you phone. Sorry you had such a crap appointment yesterday and heard that pile of poo about relaxing again Angry Excited to hear about your acupuncture on Thurs and have fingers crossed for you and garden to ovulate this month.

tomboy fingers crossed that you are on for BFP number 6 of September :) What makes you think that you had an anovulatory cycle this time? Perhaps your eggy was just a bit shy and popped out late?

alienOuch to the small chairs! Mr. Flick moans about that too, being a 6ft1 male! Still keeping fingers crossed for you despite the vanishing of sore boobs. Hope you have a good day today with the little darlings!

toria Great news on your dh backing down in housework row! You have him well trained!

Apologies for typos- cant be bothered to check through my essay Wink

felicityFlick · 07/09/2010 08:43

The wedding is in a converted barn is what I meant to write!

CaveMum · 07/09/2010 08:46

Morning everyone, just wanted to stick my head round the door and say I am still here! We're having a nice week so far, but trying to get on with lots if things so I've not had time to post on here, though I an lurking and trying to keep up to date on everyones news!

My course packs and assignments for the first year of my degree course turned up yesterday and there is rather a lot of it! I've got an essay/presentation due every month between Oct & Aug except Feb and June so you may be seeing less of me!

Hugs to everyone having a tough time (especially lovely Miss Flick) and wishing you all obvious ovulations/speedy 2 week waits and of course lots of sticky dust!

cherrycobbler · 07/09/2010 11:06

flick I am in awe of your amazing long posts that respond to everyone! Really glad you're feeling more positive today. Your doc seems a very good contrast to the medical numpties (garden's consultant friend excepted) that have been reported of late on this thread.

highheels good luck with acupunturist! Be v interested to see how it goes, am still thinking of booking to go for other health issues and general chillaxing

tomboy you have more self restraint than me not testing - hope ERTD stays away and your patience is well rewarded :)

I am still not excited, just terrified. Been stressing myself out with reading about Things That Can Go Wrong, particularly in the early early days. Am only 4weeks 1 day today. Symtoms are boobs that are very sore, feeling queasy in the afternoons and evenings
and ravenous all the time (mind you, the last one is probably not a pg symptom given that I've been ravenous for the past 10 years). Also have a cold at the moment and very sore throat which apparently can sometimes happen. Will go to docs later this week or next but think they'll tell me to go away as its just too early Blush. 8 weeks seems so very, very far away.

Sorry for self obsessed post!

JosieSmith1 · 07/09/2010 11:28

Morning everyone, so much to catch up on, sorry if I?ve missed anyone!

First off, congrats Cherry and Crazydayz, there has really been a flurry of BFPs recently!

Flick sorry your appointment brought up some issues, hope they can get it all sorted for you but if they?re not worried it usually means that there?s nothing for you to worry about either.

Kurly step away from the google! Grin It always leads to bad things. Try not to worry, the doctors have a lot more experience and know what they?re talking about. You?re in good hands I?m sure.

Zippys I know we don?t really know each other but I hope you?re doing as ok as can be expected. I can?t even begin to imagine how hard this must be for you but don?t give up hun

Highheels sorry you?re not getting the anwers you need.

By the way, to whoever does the list, I seem to have gained a day somewhere! Today should be day 19. Thanks

Well, I?ve had a funny weekend. Had slight ov pains on left side on day 14 like normal, but then on sat (day 16) the pains were really bad and I could hardly walk! After lazing on the couch resting it was ok and managed a last minute SWI just in case, but not sure what?s going on this cycle. Was normal up until day 16, and has been normal ever since but just had that one funny day in there. Anyway, there?s not much chance of BFP as only managed to do it twice during best time!

kkas · 07/09/2010 11:29

thanks to everyone for their lovely messages re DH. think it will be best to take a break - we did it before and helped DH get his confidence back, but then of course the crazy baby lady in me came back and thought we weren't having enough SWI so that probably brought it all back. just need to relax - although i hate it when people say that to me!!!! i have put away the thermometer and will be taking a page out of flick's book for the next month.

had day 21 blood test this morning (although later in cycle since i figured it really needed to be 7 days after ov and pretty sure i ov'd a week ago). nurse was expert vein-finder - usually they can't find it on me and i come out all black and blue. she found it first time!

cherry all your symptoms sound great (although sorry you have a cold Sad) this weather certainly does not help! let us know when you see the docs

cavemum glad your week off is going well and getting lots of bits done. i love weeks like that!

flick your attitude is amazing and your posts always cheer me up every morning!

lanky had a small lie in this morning since i had the blood test and then got on the bus with a bunch of mums to go to the clinic. they all got out at the cafe across the street and i also had that thought - when will it be our turn for the 'gap year'?! wish i had the fast forward button for you!

JosieSmith1 · 07/09/2010 11:33

kkas I didn't comment as I have no experience and don't know what to say I'm afraid whilst avoiding the word relax Grin but I hope you get it sorted soon and everything is back to normal, whatever that might be!

crazybutterflylady · 07/09/2010 12:07

Hi all!

Glad you're ok flick I was worried when there was no list this morning! We are all sending big smelly hugs to you in the honkers, you're such a sweetie. Twas ME who asked about the Fat Buck and I asked if your wedding was there, I thought I remembered you saying it was? But then I am going ever so slightly bonkers so could have just fabricated it Grin

cavey sweetie, nice to see you're having a lovely week. Keep it up and remember to squeeze in some shopping and self-indulgent time, especially before you start your degree! I admire you, I am not sure I could find the willpower to study. What are you going to be reading?

Hi Lanky, I'll get working on my time machine now. I am going to make one which can forward through the 2WW and another to forward me and cherry to 12 weeks so we have some nails left!

kkas good luck for the break. Remember a watched uterus kettle never boils... we are all keeping our fingers crossed for you.

highheels you will love the acupuncture session. It's so relaxing... just try not to think of the needles and let your mind wander. And drink lots of water afterwards, it can be quite draining.

Tsk Bellaby I now can't stop thinking about steak and chips!!! I would give anything for one, but alas I think it will be a jacket potato for me, sob. I am not sure Mr Crazy's generosity will extend to Gaucho for lunch and that's the closest steak place to work Grin selfish Mr Crazy Angry

raspberry and alien I am keeping my eye on you two... oh yes.

Now, where is garden? Sleeping off that hangover on MN time huh? Hmm You know MissFlick will keep you after class!!

Hi to anyone/everyone I have missed xxx

Toriajayne · 07/09/2010 12:33

Tomboy Fingers crossed lovely.

Highheels They sound just lovely, what is it with medical professionals saying ridiculous things without thinking about it? Good luck with your phonecall, hope they give you some sensible answers.

Kurly I'm sure they do a specialist course for dealing with pregnant women "How to stress already stressed women out at one of the most stressful times in their lives while preaching at them to relax".

Raspberry Good symptoms! Fingers crossed for you as well :)

Bella and Womanly you really are an inspiration, I never even joined the gym! Though I now want steak and chips as well hehehe.

Morning (ish) to everyone I've missed, I'm on a housework blitz today, I may have got him to back down during the row but will still have to do it methinks. Also trying to remove a virus from the laptop that I've already wiped out twice but keep getting from somewhere. At least that's the plan. I'm sure I'll be back within oooh, an hour Grin

gardenpixie · 07/09/2010 12:33

I'm here crazy I'm here!

Bit of a hangover. I escaped after work to lovely wine bar with a particularly charming and devastatingly handsome chap I've worked with on and off for years. He is such good fun and I feel so spoilt that I can have a tremendously good evening with him (while everyone in the bar is thinking "how did that rather dowdy old bird manage to persuade gorgeous stunner to have drinks with her") and then get to come home to my equally lovely DH who finds it terribly amusing that I turn up all tipsy and kissy after too much fizz.

Annoyingly my meeting did go ahead today so I had to cancel my scan Angry

AND then I got all confused (TMI warning) that my lady bits have started spotting today. So, I'm thinking it's either mythical implantation bleeding if I ov'd before my last scan (I did have bad stabby pains two days before the scan); or ERTD starting; or ov bleeding if my cycle has stuck to its normal timetable regardless of clomid; or something else Confused

Flick glad you are feeling a bit cheerier about things. Just think - multi-cysts means your body wants twins! Very exciting ...

cherry I hope you are OK and not too stressed. I am sure little cherry is a determined little fruit and is, as we speak, setting up home for the next 36 weeks

Josie good work with the SWI-ing: don't worry about only doing it twice though as it only takes one little swimmer to do his thing ... Wink

Sorry for rather self-obsessed post, I now have to go and talk to my nice clients (as opposed to the means ones from yesterday who drove me to drink fizz)

Happy tuesdays all round - who's up for the three follicles later? xx

JosieSmith1 · 07/09/2010 13:26

I won't be joining you in the Three Follicles later girlies I'm afraid, as I am cooking for myself and DH. If I've got time when I get in that is. I owe so much time at work I must stay late tonight, but then horsey is getting new shoes and it takes ages after he's done all the other horses, so might be quite late when I finally get in but I'm sure DH will start it for me. And I might even try and get it to lead to some 'no ovulating strings attached' extra curriculum activites IYKWIM! Grin

By the way, forgot to tell you all that we picked up the baby stuff from SiL last sat. Was all flat packed so didn't look like much, until I put the material over the bouncer frame and it just made me feel really broody! Her kids are fab and so happy, they're absolutely charming to be around! I was really tempted to quickly put the cot together but that would have made me so miserable I held off and now it's in the loft so I can't get to it Grin

felicityFlick · 07/09/2010 13:30

Glad you're feeling a bit brighter today kkas Thanks for your lovely comment :) I love waking up to catch up on what you've all been chatting about whilst I've been sleeping so the feeling is mutual. Glad you've packed your thermometer away for the month- guess what? My new one arrived today as my old one was broken. Sods law eh? Nonetheless, I shall not be tempted into using it! We can keep each other strong.

Glad you're having a lovely week cave Hide those packs and books away until nearer the time and enjoy your freedom! My best friend (the one who's DH is in army that I've mentioned before) has done a masters and has loved it as it has really passed the time when her DH has been away in the week.

Hope your hangover is subsiding garden- You and could both be having twins then, especially you with your three follicles and your clomid - could triplets be on the cards?! Wink Spotting is an exciting development I think... your ERTD doesn't normally start with spotting does it? If it is implantation then that is fab and if it is ovulation then also fab! When you go for your scan can the tell if you have ovulated or only if you are just about to?

Hang in there cherry- get them positive vibes flowing. Your symptoms re sounding good and strong! ooo btw, you never told us how you told your dha nd what his reaction was?! Thanks for your compliment- it's just that you all post when I am asleep so have to catch up on what you've all said in one go and you are all a chatty bunch! Thanks for the yummy buns- MMMMM

crazy glad you're still with us! I wish my wedding was at the Fat Buck! It was in December 2008 but not at the Fat Buck. Thanks for my hug :) sending one back to you which contains time speeding up vibes to accompany your time machine research xxx

Good luck with the house work toria!

Like the others said, it only takes one swimmer josie so we'll keep everything crossed for you

xx

cherrycobbler · 07/09/2010 14:21

I ended up putting the first response stick (I did wipe it down...) in a card for DH and said in it that I hoped that the LO decides to stick around. I sealed it up and put it on the bed but then suddenly thought I'd dreamt the line to had to tear gently prise open the envelope to check pee stick then try and stick it back together again before DH came home. DH was completely shocked and took a while to work it out, bless him. Then gave me a big hug but was v speechless Grin

MUST get on with some work... sigh.

garden oh I do hope its implantation spotting! Keep SWI just incase its ov. And your evening last night sounds fab - everyone needs a complete charmer friend for fizz and a fun evening out.

Toriajayne · 07/09/2010 14:39

Garden I'm with Cherry on this one, if there's a chance it's either ov bleeding or an implantation bleed then SWI can only help, right? Fingers crossed that whatever it is it's a good thing!

Cherry that's adorable Grin

Flick I definitely think your body wants twins

Josie that made ME broody. Very well done on the restraint for putting cot in attic out of the way. We have a room designated "the nursery" and I have to stop myself putting things in there "for when we have a baby to put in there as well". Currently all my soft toys are stacked against walls along with anything else that doesn't have a home lol.

I have put drain cleaner down the drain, cleaned the bathroom, swept the living room and kitchen, put two loads of washing on (despite this horrible bloody weather) and am now waiting for the Tesco delivery. I think it's definitely time for coffee and cake. Who's with me?

womanlytales · 07/09/2010 14:51

Wow - just about managed to read ALLLL the posts since I posted ...er... this morning!!!! LOL
garden fingers crossed..the cancelled scan and the spotting are signs :)
flick I am so NOT into running - - BUT it's quite cool in that after the initial 15 mins or so I go into this 'zone' -- where everything is fabulous, mind is blank, very meditative quality though my body is working quite hard. I don't 'run' per se- more of a jog given my lack of fitness... It's also really satisfying to see your body improve over the days.. The days I don't I do feel like I am missing out.
kkas I am due to take my D21 test on Friday -- the weird thing about ovulation is you need to have the test 7 days before your next period... given that I don't know when that is given my irregular cycles..it gets trickier.
Happy ovulating and poasing to all-- Hope we all get speed tracked to that gap year :)

womanlytales · 07/09/2010 14:52

Cross posted with you Toria - - Love to have the cake :)

Toriajayne · 07/09/2010 15:13

Good stuff!

JosieSmith1 · 07/09/2010 15:28

Oooo yes please to choccy cake. I already have a cuppa thanks.

I absolutely had to put that baby stuff in the loft otherwise I would have been found playing with it regularly. The bouncer had a button that made it rock and a little hanger thingy to go over the top with little toys so imaginary baby could play with them as it bounced. The cot didn't have a mattress or bedding otherwise it might have been too much to bear! It was nice but also Sad as no BFP as yet. I don't do waiting!

JosieSmith1 · 07/09/2010 16:24

Can I ask a stupid question:

what is a luteal phase?

Toriajayne · 07/09/2010 16:29

Luteal Phase is the stage from Ovulation to the first day of your period, so the implantation stage. It needs to be at least ten days long to give an embryo time to implant which is why some ladies use certain vitamins to lengthen the phase. Hope that helps :)
