Feck off with your babydust - The hut of gl/doom, home of inadequate reproduction

[wewishyouamerrylissiemas]

ok, so the hut disappeared so I decided to open a new one. tis a 20's style gin joint!

Right that's the thing they did my day 3 tests on 21. Also am quite overweight. Starting to think to could have pcos cos I have quite a few of the symptoms.
I'll get checked out cos I'm having upper abdomen pain on and off as well. Will ask for day 3 bloods I think.
Day 21 came back as 15, 20 and 25. 25 was the one I had my first month of charting where I had a clear peak and got them done 7 dpo. Two charts with no clear peak in a row has me concerned. Wonder if nausea.is unrelated but still needs investigating.

you've probably read this before but if not it might help? Maybe ask the receptionist if any of the gp's specialise in fertility/ hormones etc? Do you often get the nausea/ vomiting before your period?

Yeh I liked the one female Gp who seemed on.the ball about the stuff. I often get nausea/ vomiting for 1-2 weeks before hand.

evening all. Well DH dropped his sample off at the hospital yesterday morning. Was told results will be with GP tomorrow but of course it's Bank Holiday so we'll probably have to wait until next week to get them. Does anyone know how we interpret the results? I'd like to be able to check it myself as sometimes GP's seem a bit ambivalent about these things if they are borderline.

Hope it's good news queenrollo. I believe it's more about the quality and motility of the sperm than quantity but I don't know much tbh. Dh has his next month (which may have motivated him to agree to all the swi, hoping for a bfp next month so he doesn't have to go!).

thanks bex - i feel DH is obviously worried that the reason for no PG so far is because something is wrong with him. I've reached a point where I just want answers but am really scared that it won't be good news. i already have a DS, but I know DH wants a child of his own and I really want us to have a child together. This week i've been very emotional trying to figure out how I will cope if we can't do this.

Had a minor meltdown in town last week when i bumped into my oldest friends DH and he started talking about her scan and getting baby stuff together again - I had no idea she was pregnant she hasn't phoned me (32 years of friendship, and we've been through some hell together). Maybe she didn't know how to tell me, but it's worse that I found out this way. It's her 4th and to be honest I'm quite annoyed at her. It's complicated, but i do feel justifed in thinking 'why her and not me'.........

I have one other friend who has been TTC 2 years now and so I do at least have one RL friend who I can pick up the phone and talk to. In fact so much doesn't even need to be said - we both know how hard this is.

I can't believe your friend didn't tell you! Maybe she was trying to wait for the 'right time' but surely it would've been better to sit you down and explain?
I have no RL friends that I know of ttc atm, last one announced bfp a month ago, but I have a friend who took 3 years ttc dc#1 whose been supporting me. She's got pcos and is convinced I do too. That and advice for here keeps me going and has persuaded me to seek further advice. Feeling a bit despondent about ttc now I've realised I'm probably not ovulating every month :(

I'd like to think that after all we've been through that she would tell me. I suspect that her motives are based around her knowing what I will think of this to be honest. She told me last time before she got PG that she'd stopped her pill but not told her H . I know he didn't want anymore then, and that hasn't changed so this will have been another 'accident'. And after I sat with her in tears for hours when she was ttc her first with him and his sperm analysis was not good......

Sorry you're not having a good time Bex, but lets hope the doctors can do something to help you.

I feel like shit today :( pmt probably. Fuck it all. :(

I'm drunk on gin. Happy days.
Thinking of you hairy.

hairy

bex i may well join you with the gin

Chin chin girlies!

Bottoms up- nothing to report here

Yep no bfp.for last month, may as well get pissed over this bh weekend! Now on home made brandy, plum to be precise!

bex you just reminded me I have some homemade damson brandy somewhere.

so I got my smear reminder last week so shall be making an appt to have that done. joy. I will not put it off like i did last time. It was due just as I found out i was PG with DS and then i just never got round to it. Had a scare with a breast lump a couple of years back and the nurse told me off about my smear at the time so this time i'm just going to get it over and done with.
Will also be checking if DH's results are back and booking him an appt if so.

Oh.the joy of the smear! Mine mist be due soon
Currently enjoying home brew cider. Dh is determined this month will be 'the month' so is trying to ravish regularly. No complaints here!
What happened with Dh's test results queenrollo?

oh yep I have been on my friends hen night this weekend and drank copious amount of cocktails and wine (not together though) . Curse will come next week and waiting for it.

Don't need contraception my body is doing a marvalous job by itself!

bex i phoned the surgery to book an appt for smear to be told I can't because i'm not between day 11 - 17 of my cycle, so will have to wait until next month.Never mind that I am 'ripe' now, no consideration for my personal cycle, just their rules No news on DH results, receptionist didn't want to tell me if they were back (data protection - fair enough) so we were sneaky and i asked if i needed to make him an appt this week and she said there was no letter on his file. Asssuming it's taking a while to come through because of all the Bank Holidays.

ah smear tests, very glad I don't need one for a while. I didn't realise you needed to be at a certain point in your cycle to have one though?

Well, i'm not doing to badly on the swi this month. Have mangaed it on days 9, 11, 14, and tonight will be day 17. Its not quite a regular as I would like but hey ho, its the best we could manage what with being away with dp's entire family and sharing a room with ds for 3 nights! Hopefully it puts me in with some chance?

How is everyone? I'm glad to be home and life back to normal. Am feeling in good form so far this month although have had very little in the way of ewcm and that was on day 8! AF not due till the 16th so haven't had time to drive myself mad yet!

Cycle point for smear is so that af doesn't interfere with results.
I'm impressed with swi ninja, certainly think you've had a good chance of hitting spot timing wise!
We've been away with my family but still managed a couple of nights. Full speed ahead over weekend (FF reckons Monday will be ovulation day). Dh still determined this will be the month (nice when fertile time is over weekend!).

yes, I really hope this month will be the one. I've got a date for my appointment at the clinic in Roehampton, not till July 14th so would like a bfp before then so I don't have to go!
Fingers crossed for this month!
bex you sound like you are doing quite well at the swi too this month, how's the holiday been?

Am off to enjoy some sunshine at friends house today, her ds has some new garden toys (am guessing its a climbing frame) so ds and 2 other friends are going there for the afternoon. Should be nice.

What is everyone else up to?

cycle point for smear is because they get a better sample when your cervix is soft, so need to take it at your fertile time. As they request no sex 48 hours before the smear this somewhat reduces SWI chances at the right time

Just phoned surgery and DH's results are back. he's in meetings all day so probably won't be able to phone himself and not sure if GP will discuss it over the phone or whether he'll need to go for an appt. If the latter then it will be end of next week before we find out as DH working. I feel a bit sick. Had a rough day yesterday and feeling emotionally fragile.

does he get a lunch break? or even a long loo break where he can make the call? I really hope its good news for you both.
Are you working today? If not try to get yourself out for some fresh air and a walk, might help with how you feel just getting some space. Let us know how you get on.

i don't work, but i have friend here doing some building work so we've been chatting and later I have to go and collect DS from his dad's, and once here's here I'll be too busy to think about it!

DH just asked me for the GP number, he's going to try and get a phone consult with the GP to discuss results. I'm generally the sort of person who doesn't worry about things like this, more of a 'deal with it when it happens' sort of person. But this is proving to be my downfall. I'd go mad if i couldn't come here and offload.
