hairy sorry only just got to post.
I wish I could say Congrats but I know it's not very helpful atm. Just to say I really hope and will pray it's bean that sticks. Keep us posted.
I am playing mind games with my body. Boobs are tender and felt a bit sick. Only 7 dpo and have had it all before so I'm telling myself all that! Refuse to believe this will be the month. Maybe it'll be ironic?!

hairylights · 13/05/2011 18:55

Thanks bex

queenrollo · 13/05/2011 19:36

Bex come and sit with me and drink virtual gin. I have none of my usual pre-af signs.....my boobs are tender but only round the outside edges, I felt really nauseous for about an hour this morning. I have told myself that my boobs hurt because of the gardening i did yesterday and that i felt nauseous because I didn't sleep well last night.
I refuse to believe that we succeeded this month, i fully expect to get AF sometime between now and monday. I even walked round two shops this afternoon and didn't buy a 'just in case' pregnancy test. I don't want to let myself believe it may have happened because I know how crushed I will feel when AF arrives......and this weekend I am on my own with DS as DH gone away for the weekend.
Going to bed shortly (yes, very early!) but DS wants us to share the spare bed, watch a DVD and eat popcorn, so we're having a lovely night in together. I really do cherish these moments so much.....

Ok, you're on! I'm going to do everything wrong! Last cycle I was so convinced I didn't even drink in the last two weeks. That is restrained not buying tests. I have a couple in stock but there's no way I'm testing early.Cheers!

ellangirl · 13/05/2011 20:33

Hi all, well I've been for my HSG today to check everything's clear, which it is. Day 3 blood tests ok too, so it's good news to go ahead with ICSI in the summer. There is no point in me wasting any more money on tests! Good luck to you though queenrollo and bex. How are you feeling Hairy?

Bexamundo · 13/05/2011 21:52

Good to hear things are moving.forward and the test results are (relatively) good. You waiting for a start date?

pigletmania · 13/05/2011 22:09

hairy that is fantastic news, I had a BFP too this week, but not getting my hopes up high. Keep knicker checking and thinking daily is this the day that I will MC. Every little twinge thinking is this the start of MC. Don't worry about morning sickness it can come later on in the 1st trimester, mine morning sickness, cravings etc kicked in with dd at about 7 weeks, up until then I did not really have any symptoms. The Dr told me that not having morning sickness is no indication that you will MC, some of my friends did not have morning sickness at all with pg. Fingers crossed for you.

Btw my mum had me, her first child at 42, and my friend is 49, with a 4 year old and a six year old, and there are plenty of ladies in their 40's with babies so try not to loose heart.

hairylights · 13/05/2011 23:08

Thank you piglet what a sweet post. And congratulations!

pigletmania · 13/05/2011 23:23

Thanks hairy its true though, I know that it seems like you should give up, but don't whilst you still have your periods and not gone through menopause imo, there is still hope Smile

Bexamundo · 14/05/2011 17:15

Congrats piglet that's great news! When are you due then, February?
Dh and I have started decorating the nursery spare room. Have also cleared the air and patched things up ;). He even missed the end of the fa cup final, I do feel cherished!
hairy how are you feeling?

hairylights · 14/05/2011 17:16

I'm ok thanks bex I'm very up and down it's just a waiting game.

pigletmania · 14/05/2011 17:25

Thanks Bex actually I am not sure, I only found out this week so must be about a month. I have one healthy dd and have had two subsequant MC so I am trying not to get too excited until I make it to 12 and have a scan. That is good news Bex congratulations too, is this your first. Good luck hope that it all works out well Smile

pigletmania · 14/05/2011 17:27

oops sorry Bex, just read your last posts, good luck hope that you have a BFP too Smile, should teach me to read posts before posting duh Blush

Bexamundo · 14/05/2011 17:42

I know you can't just delete your posts can you?! Yeah I think we're getting there slowly. Will be easier when house is not like a bomb site (had kitchen in living room, now spare room in study/hall). Kitchen is almost finished and spare room won't take too long. Will be less stressed once it's finished. Started with rewire in February so it's been a while coming together!

queenrollo · 16/05/2011 08:16

bex we've been doing loads to our house too. Kitchen is on the agenda but we've run out of money - other more boring important jobs kept coming up.

Well still no AF for me. Day 33 today, the usual length for me over the last six months. Stil none of my usual signs. Most noticeably my mood, i usually get really grumpy in the few days before she shows up. However this morning i have sore/tingly nipples Hmm

I am not going to test. It'll be just my luck that my hormones are up the spout and my irregular cycles are back......and I can't face the crushing disappointment of a BFN Sad

Why are our bodies so cruel....

queenrollo · 16/05/2011 08:24

Postman has just been and I have my first appt at the infertility dept at the Hospital on the 16th June. So not too long to wait - though of course I have holiday booked in June and July so i can see me not beng able to get any tests done until August!

But you can't put your life on hold for this......

Bexamundo · 16/05/2011 18:58

Good to hear you're appt came through quickly. I'm very much of the attitude I'm.not putting my life on hold either. I'm seriously working on losing weight/getting fit because I'm almost certain I have pcos but regardless of diagnosis I suspect my weight is not helping our fertility!

Bexamundo · 17/05/2011 07:36

hairy how are things?

queenrollo · 17/05/2011 09:05

oh. I found a pregnancy test at the back of the bathroom cupboard while tidying it yesterday.
5.30 this morning i woke up feeling sick, still no AF so I POAS and BFN Sad
I knew it would be, and of course I'm sad not have a positive but what I feel more upset about is that this means my cycles are starting to go all wonky again. I cope much better with AF arriving every month, but on time than I do with the endless waiting to see when it'll happen.

I just want to cry. I don't want to do this anymore. I want my life back.

Bexamundo · 17/05/2011 22:50

Sorry quennie. I suppose the only comfort is knowing it's not indefinite any more, at least you know when your appt is going to be. Irregular cycles are a nightmare aren't they? I thought I'd settled at 26 days so a 28 day cycle last month had me in a right tizz! Maybe that's something the specialist can help with?

queenrollo · 18/05/2011 10:14

still no AF. think maybe i didn't ovulate this month?
I sobbed all over DH yesterday, and moped around feeling really sorry for myself. He tried his best but I don't think he really knew what to do yesterday, all he can do is say he loves me no matter what happens, and I do know that but it's just the frustration.
Confirmation of appt came today, so i just have to sit tight for that.

Bexamundo · 18/05/2011 16:10

It is possible, my Gp said most women have a couple of anovulatory cycles a year.
I cried on Dh this morning. Temp has dropped, the evil witch is on her way. The cynical approach has guarded me against getting too excited therefore not quite as disappointed as I have been previously. Still gutted esp since Dh has his appt so next month is a write off. Feel much the same as what you're describing above, very sad, wondering when it will all end? Why is it taking so long? I'm going to book an appt with my Gp and demand more investigations!

jazzy283 · 18/05/2011 17:58
