Hi all
I didn't want to hop on a bus because i'm not really aiming for a specific month to have a baby in so i thought i'd start a general "trying to conceive a 2011 baby" and see if anyone wants to join me :D

Hi Iwish

My cycles are anywhere from 27 to 33. Last one was 27 and previous 32!! Not much good for pinpointing what's going on!!! Hmm

Here is a link to my chart, thanks for looking. I might be brave and join the charters thread.

P.S. I was checking charts on the charters tread and saw that you had managed to get your name on yours and a counter so I copied, sorry!! Blush

shufflebum · 17/01/2011 14:16

Iwish no need to apologise, I did say I got a positive OPK on the 8th. I (stupidly) assumed if you got a positive that meant you were ovulating then.

Hey

Am having a crappy emotional day,kept seeing babies on the drive home from work and have a horrid feeling it's just not meant to be.

Potential redundacy for next year (only work part time) and dp is very quiet on the work front.

And the pup is completely too much for me to handle I can't get her to do anything and I am loosing my temper and that just makes her worse. I feel horrid but just can't seem to stop myself.

sorry to off load :(

shufflebum · 17/01/2011 14:54

Hey weimy i don't "know" you but didn't want your offloadings to go unnoticed. Sorry things are getting on top of you. I work part time and am self employed and it can get worrying when things go quiet.
Do I take it from your name that troublesome pup is a Weimaraner?

Iwish · 17/01/2011 15:39

Hi mslk looks like you are on your way to OV so keep SWI and doing opks. I get a very light line then a darker one the next day so watch out for it lol. I also OV cd16 on a 27 day cycle so fairly late and have had a random 32 day cycle before so even later at probably cd21! So keep it up hun. I saw someone elses ticker so copied theirs too lol :) come and join the charters thread, the ladies on there are lovely. I've had a right moan on there today.

Lol shuffle. I had to read the instructions a second time too :). At least you got the swimmers up there at the right time.

Oh weimy huni it's sh*t Isnt it. I had a crappy day yesterday and this morning as youve probably seen on the charters thread. And I also got made redundant in jan last year but luckily got a new job.
I'm sure it is meant to be it's just a question of when it'll happen. Feel free to off load here Hun, we are here for you xx

We have been trying for 6 months now and are getting v frustrated!

mslk · 17/01/2011 19:38

Hi weimy hope you're feeling a little better now {hugs}

Thanks for looking at my chart iwish I got a faint line on the opk today, hardly anything yesterday and a faint line Saturday. All very strange.

I want to DTD again tonight but I'm not sure if DH will be up for it. Might have to work some serious magic!!

Hi everyone,

Just regiestered and this is my very first post. Not sure where to start really so here goes.

Decided to start TTC in July '09, and had an ectopic pregnancy in Jan '10, with surgery to remove one of my tubes. Pregnant again in May '10 but had a miscarriage, possibly ectopic but they weren't sure this time. Both times lots of ovarian cysts and painful ovaries.

Had lots of blood tests and scans over the past six months or so and have high prolactin levels and low progesterone levels. Last week got results back from MRI scan of brain, and thankfully no tumor causing the high prolactin levels.

So now that's all out the way, consultant has prescriped three cycles of clomid as he things the low progesterone may have been part of the problem. I have the tablets here and will be due to start in them in the next week or two.

Trouble is, I'm scared to start again now. It took me a long time to decide to start TTC. I'm also worried about the side effects from Clomid, particularly the ovarian pain and the prospect of twins (or more!!!!).

Reading on here has made me realise I'm not alone in it though, everyone seems to have their own issues and story. Anyway, looking forward to being on here.

Lily

Hi Lily wow, you sound like you have been through more than most I'm not surprised you're having a bit of a wobble.
Hopefully those who have been through something similar will be along soon with some more practical words of advice. Smile

mslk · 17/01/2011 21:19

Hi lily06

I can't image how hard the last 18 months or so have been for you but you sound incredibly brave and strong. These boards are full of amazing people and are great for advice, hand holding and anything else in between.

weimy · 17/01/2011 21:50

Hey Iwish Shufflebum Mslk

Thank you :) I feel much better having ranted and read your posts.

Took the devil pup to training and they said that I needed to calm down and not train her for a week, they also said that she is a particularly difficult weimaraner so I shouldn't feel as tho I am rubbish.

Iwish I'm sorry you are feeling low, it is very difficult to be chilled out about this when the 'window of opportunity' is so small and we often can't tell when that window is.

Mslk good luck SWI!

lily welcome!!!

shufflebum · 17/01/2011 22:03

weimy they are difficult, I have Vizslas and they're not much easier!

weimy · 17/01/2011 22:04

Shufflebum Love Vizslas too! :)

shufflebum · 17/01/2011 22:15

I love them but god they are hard work! Smile I'm having a retired greyhound next that just wants to plod around the village for 20 minutes and then snooze on the sofa all day.
Anyway, I digress, back to babies!

lily06 · 18/01/2011 07:40

Thanks for the welcome, feel better having got everything off my chest so to speak!

Iwish · 18/01/2011 19:06

Hi weimy. Are you feeling better today? :)

Hi mslk hope you are ok and persuaded DH to SWI last night Wink

Hi shufflebum hope you are ok today?

Hi lily welcome to the thread. We are a friendly bunch and are here for a good old chat and a moan :)

Well apparently I'm 5dpo today, not sure I believe FF though. I got a line on opk 2 days after apparent ovulation!

weimy · 18/01/2011 21:02

Hi all!

Was still down today, but DP has been lovely to me and dogs have been very cuddly so I do feel better now.

Hope you are all ok is everyone on the 2ww?

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

mslk · 18/01/2011 21:34

Evening ladies

How is everyone?

Hi Iwish had to give him the night off last night Sad but will work my magic tonight. Still no proper positive OPK, just faint 2nd lines, but have OV pain today. Going to give it a shot tonight and hope I get temp rise in the morning. Keep your fingers crossed, for that rise, I'm getting worried my body doesn't work! Grin Confused Hmm

Hi Weimy glad you're starting to feel better

shufflebum · 19/01/2011 14:43

I'm good thanks. Just trying not to think too much about testing.....
mslk hope the magic works tonight. I must have pestered DH so much when we were ovulating as he hasn't laid a finger on me since!
Weimy glad things are starting to get a bit better for you. The 2 ww is horrible.
Iwish and Lily hope all good with you.

Iwish · 19/01/2011 18:04

mslk im sure your body is fine, looks like its gearing up for OV. Feels like forever waiting for the little eggy and even longer through the 2ww!!

Weimy im glad you feel better, we all have down days xx

Shuffle hope you are ok too. how many dpo are you now? sorry im losing track!

Hi Lily Hope you are ok too

Well FF has changed my OV date to CD17 because, i really hope i,ve OV'd but for some reason i dont believe it. Told DP we had finished SWI but think i might try and get one more out of his tonight Wink. if it is true then im 3dpo so would think about testing next weekend if AF hasnt arrived by then.

weimy · 19/01/2011 20:36

Hey mslk, shuffle, Iwish and lily and everyone else!!!!

I am feeling much better today, tho think I have mucked up my temp taking. Am going to carry on swi just incase although I might need to liven it up to keep it interesting!!!

Hope you are all ok!

shufflebum · 19/01/2011 20:45

Iwish I've got no idea how many dpo I am Blush really must try to get my head around this conception business but am just trying to stay relaxed at the moment.

camilla79 · 19/01/2011 21:37

Hi everyone! Just thought I would join you all in the hope for a 2011 baby!! I have one child (born in 2002) and I thought it would be easy getting pregnant 2nd time round......well hubby and I are now in 3rd month ttc, AF due on Sat (22nd) but has came today!! 4 days early.. so goibg to have to try again next cycle!! So disheartening and emotionally exhausting :( Baby dust to you all :) xx

lily06 · 20/01/2011 14:29

Welcome camilla, nice to meet you, I'm new here too. Smile I'm with you on emotionally exhausting, what a rollercoaster!

Iwish · 20/01/2011 18:40

shuffle if you OV'd on the 9th or 10th that would make you currently 11/10dpo! Oooh how exciting you are near the end of the 2ww!! When are you thinking of testing?

Welcome camilla! definitely emotionally exhausting! I thought having the baby would be the exhausting part not ttc!! So clearly I was wrong lol!

How is everyone else? Xx

shufflebum · 20/01/2011 19:34

Thank you Iwish should I just employ you as my personal conception coach? Grin I only have crappy free preg tests that came with my opk so prob not worth testing till (if) I've missed my period?

Hi camilla they're a friendly bunch here, I've only just joined and have had lots of help already. Hope you get a positive soon.
