Hi All

I've just removed myself from the stats as I've decided to depart - feeling totally hopeless about TTC and need to take a break. We've got an appointment with fertility consultant in a couple of weeks and I'm fully expecting them to say that with DH's poor sperm quality our only option would be IVF (which we can't afford and won't get on the NHS as we already have DS). I also seem to be having my 1st annovulatory cycle as am on day20 with no Peak and a distinct lack of EWCM so that hasn't helped my mood, even though I know the odd one should be expected.

This 'journey' started out as fun and exciting but sadly has become desperate and hopeless so I'm jumping ship and trying to come to terms with the fact that I will never again be pregnant or have another baby

Best of luck to all of you
Pink xxx

choccie glad all is fine.

pink totally understand your decision. Best of luck with everything. x

Hi Ladies,

Keziah - I'm hooked on that thread too!

Here's the first thread:
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/1112721-Waters-have-broken-at-28-weeks-were-in-America

And here's the second - still waiting on news as to whether Southsea has been induced yet, but then there is a 5 hour time difference so wouldnt expect to hear until around 2.30pm in any case [obsessive emoticon]
www.mumsnet.com/Talk/pregnancy/1145199-Water-broken-in-America-etc-Part-II

I hope the links have worked!

p.s. I have my c-section booked at 37 weeks - 5 weeks to go!

Over and out xxx

Day 20 and no peak on CBFM, but had a definite 2 lines on the stick so have used my back up plan LH detector strips which gives a definite surge reading - hurrah!

But negative hurrah in the fact that it may only give me a 6-8 day LP.....

Had reflexology yesterday - not sure whether that is what has kicked the LH - one of lifes mysteries

Hi babycrazed - what are your back up plan LH detector strips? Where do you get them from?

I'm day 17 today (I think) and have had 2 bars for the last 10 days but no peak. I've never had this happen before. Why does the stupid monitor not go back down to one bar (since I clearly have not ovulated this month) so I can stop wasting pee sticks?

I was ill with diarrhoea and vomiting last week, does anyone know if this can upset ovulation?

and more !

PS Mumsnet, I prefer white wine actually!

Hi I bought a bundle of the cheap ones from ebay or siimlar type place - think I got about 50 for a tenner (they normally throw some preg tests in to) - seem to be pretty accurate - I haven't been doing the whole temperature thing - I work shifts so just cannot be that exact on doing things the same time every day!

Any illness can have an affect on these things, but maybe you have ovulated and the level of LH is just a bit down on previous months, hence the missing peak!

I suspect there are more knowledgeable CBFM users around though!

Cheers

Perhaps both white wine and g&t- for variety- i like to have the option of drinks i cant have until the witch has shown her ugly face- still waiting.
Pleased scan went well choccie- looking forward to update.

Seems am not the only one whose monitor is having an episode!
Sorry to hear ladies- im sure it does it deliberately,
X

Harry - it is a fascinating thread, glad not just me. And thanks for today's update as I haven't got time to look but NEEDED to know!!

Pink - I hope all works out well with the fertility clinic for you. There is one option, which is if under 35 you are allowed to eggshare (well at Care clinics, don't know about all but guess similarish rules), which means you then get almost a free cycle of IVF.

Hi ladies

Not been on for a while. kezia I just saw you start on the 15th is it? wow, thats great news, good luck will be thinking of you!

Had awful dreams that I started bleeding really heavily last night but there was no pain and it stopped; woke up before i found out whether i miscarried or not. hope this is a reflection of my fear of losing the baby rather than a sinister premonition.

boba isnt that funny we have scans on the same day! I will be 11+3 so we are also due (i hope it stays around that long) at the same time. do you have a huge fear that the baby will no longer have a heartbeat and stopped growing after the first scan?

I must check out the waters breaking in the US threada tonight. im still very dubious about getting properly involved in pregnancy threads.

have a great daay everyone

Liz xxx

liz I have already had two scans so have seen the heartbeat but yes I am very nervous. FX for both of us! x

Good luck with the scans kitty and boba - we are all very pleased for you [and jealous!]

Well I know now how to inject myself

Keziah oooh, keep us updated - not long until I go down that line too - seems to be rapidly approaching!

Are you coping ok with that keziah? How exciting that everything is now up and rolling for you. Keeping eveything crossed! x

Updated stats - hope they are right.
AF graced me with her presence today...definitely a night for the
Hope you are all well...

Hi All

Keziah so glad you're finally starting treatment and the injection training was fine.

Harry So exciting that you don't have too long to go now.

Pink Wishing you the best of luck x

Littlefan sorry to hear that AF has got you. Hope that you enjoyed that

Liz I am sure that your dream simply reflects your concerns. It must be so hard for you. Thinking of you.

Sorry about AF littlefan, enjoy your well deserved

Question for anyone that has conceived successfully or knows someone that has that has a short luteal phase - any searches only cover people having trouble with it, but I can't find any success stories - any info anyone?

SlightlyBabyCrazed have you thought of taking Angus Castus?, I've heard it's really good at extending LP...if you google it there is some forums with success stories, hope that helps .

Anytime - afraid I have been on the agnus for two years - think I'm gonna give it up and stick with the B6.

I'm sure there's probably loads that have a short LP but never knew and just got BFP without any stresses at all!

I'll google again and see what I get this time - thanks for replying.

Have you tried accupuncture or reflexology SBC to help? Not sure what it can do, or if it can help but I have decided to have accupuncture once a week in my ivf treatment and tonight's treatment left me feeling so relaxed so blow the fact or not if it works it is helping me mentally... but know for some people they try such things.

Harry wow, not long now. I remember when you used to do the stats before your bfp, wow!

Boba - just realised you have started the 2 CBFM threads I have been on so please will you start the next one when it needs it (me being very unusally superstitious here!!!!)

Injections, am thankful have no fear of needles... but first one I did in training popped straight out, it bounced so learnt to be a bit slower. Really hope I don't suffer with the side effects.

No problem Keziah, maybe I have lucky thread creating skills?!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

at Boba - well look at the list of graduates!!
