Anyone using Persona to Conceive this month ?

[Mojomummy]

That's it really. I'm CD 6, having red days, planning my BD-ing & wandering if anyone else is in the same boat as me...?

Hi guys I thought I'd pop in to see how you are and to let you know I'm still givingmy machine a go - although no egg sign this month - GRRR, but allother sign point to Ov occuring so it could be me not aiming at the stick right!

Hi Peachy. Sorry to hear you've had no luck yet. Have you any hols planned? It seems to be a good way to relax and maybe something will happen.

Jag - the village hall work is ongoing. We get post daily and money in little bags posted through the letterbox. DH has said he will do it for another year then give up. Although the last person that did it struggled to find someone and annoyingly duped DH. He said it only took up a couple of hours a month. I think if he had been honest no one would have taken it on.
It's a case of the hall closing if there is no treasurer but I think family should take priority.
DH was in bed at 9.30 this evening as he was so tired. He got back from his village hall meeting at 11.30 last night.

We had a bit of an argument tonight about DS. He has slight tooth decay in one of his teeth. Of course DH now thinks I feed him sweets all day.
Actually I don't let them have sweets. They have chocolate at the weekend or if it's someones birthday at school and freddos are given out. They do however have icecream or a small cake after their fruit pudding. I now have to cut that out. The dentist did say that he was probably just prone to it. A 6.5 year old would have to be eating sweets 24 hours a day to get decay so soon. DH doesn't see it that way.
I told him to take DS to the dentist next time so he can hear for himself.
DS still wets the bed every night. I did this as a child too so this is my fault as it is hereditory. It seems everything else is down to me too.

Sorry I'm having a rant. I hate arguing and really dislike being disbelieved by DH.
It's almost as if he thinks less of me for not having a 'proper job'. Not that he would want me to but it still feels that way. I'm just a dull housewife with very few skills.

I'm ranting again.

I had better go to bed and sleep it off.

Take care.

Hi Peachygirl sorry your machines not giving you results. Do you collect & dip? I find this much easier & always count to 20 rather than 15 like it says.

3Catstoo - You rant away its much better to get it all off your chest. Its unfair how the women always seems to end up with the day to day child rearing & the man just seems to have an opinion when problems occur. I am fairly lucky in the sense that my DH was literally left holding the baby when i was ill so he understands how hard it is looking after one all day (let alone 3!.)
Anyway i hope everything has blown over today. Good Luck with your scan tomorrow.

Hi Jag and 3cats
Thanks for your kind words. I think I might try to dip next month. We have got a holiday planned but not til august, so quite a way away. Its a big one though so lots of planning an to take my mind off everything we're off to the USA, San Fransico, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
I agree with Jag, feel free to rant here 3cats. Jobs like that are so time consuming.I'm involved in a copule of groups and the work connected to it is often the last thing I want to do at the end of the day.

Hi again,

Peachy that holiday sounds fantastic!!

Had my scan today. After waiting for an hour the scan took 5 mins. No fibroids were found. The gyny didn't think there would be but wanted to rule it out first. I have got lots of dilated veins though (like varicous veins only in the pelvic region instead) they can sometimes cause pain but none of my other symptoms. They are quite harmless.
Just have to wait for a laperoscopy now. goodness knows when.

DH and I are speaking again now after the teeth issue. I hate arguing.

All the best.
3cats.

Hi

I agree with 3catstoo that holiday sounds great i am . It might help with the ttc too you always here of people conceiving when on holiday. Although it would be even better before that.

3Catstoo - That sounds really positive and its something else ruled out. Are you still having problems with your periods or have they settled at all?

I'm just waiting for AF now so we can hopefully get back on track.

J

Still all over the place unfortunately.
On day 25 now and no spotting yet.
Lots of people have said that a laperoscopy can just flush your system out so even if they don't find anything it can still improve things. Lets hope that's the case.
Evening primrose is meant to be good too. I'll give it a go.

Take care.

3cats

CD 1 for me today.
Feel yuk and moody and angry at everything and everyone !!!
I hate this bit !

Hi 3Cats

Snap CD1 here too 6 days late. I think that scan or rather the stuff i was injected with knocked my cycle out as i am usually spot on.
Had good news on Friday went for the ultrasound on my breast but didn't have to have it done they reviewed my scans & xrays etc & decided that there wasn't a problem after all & my cancer is now classed as cured.
I've also had my appointment through for Fertility clinic through for July 27th.

I hope you feel better soon i get really grouchy too.

J

Thanks for the baby dust Debbsie.

Great news Jag. One less thing for you to worry about. Roll on 27th July !! Good Luck.
Very exciting to have A BFP on this thread. Hasn't been one for months.

Bset wishes to all.

Me again,
Saw my Gyny yesterday. I'm booked in for a laparoscopy and hysteroscopy on 12th July.
We decided to go privately to get it over with.

I'm not looking forward to it but at least I'll know what it is or isn't.

Hi

3Cats - Hopefully you will get sorted out on the 12th i know what you mean by going private at least you won't have to wait.

I'm on CD8 i think. I am a bit annoyed because i wanted to do Persona this month so i can see if ov will be on cd13 as usual after being knocked out of sync last month, but the sticks i've ordered haven't turned up. I ordered 2 packs so i can't really afford to go & buy anymore. I think i have 1 clearblue ov stick left will try that instead.

J

Hi,

CD 10 for me.
Where do you get your sticks from Jag?
I use access diagnostics. They only usually take 2 days.

Hope your cycle gets back into sync quickly.
Good Luck
xxx

I get mine from Access diagnostics too which is why i'm surprised they haven't arrived. I sent them an email but have to wait 14 days before they will do anything. I will have to just leave it this month.

That is unusual for them.

Had a bit of a heated debate with DH over number 4 again on Saturday night.
I just couldn't help myself. I came over with this sudden urgency to get him to agree. I think I may have been ov'ing over the weekend. Only explanation really.

Well it resulted in him getting very stroppy and telling me that we will end up splitting up over this as he can't put up with me pestering him for much longer and he thinks our sex life is suffering too!
He later apologised and said he was just frustrated as I started to talk about it just as he started to get amourous (not great timing but it seemed right at the time, oops).

He seems to think I'm only interested in sex if it results in a baby. (sorry if tmi). Not true though (only around ov time!).

We both said we need to talk more about it but now I don't know when to approach it.
DH has a terrible memory so unless I do it soon he will forget everything that's already been said.

The house is his main reason I think. We have 3 small bedrooms. 2 girls already sharing. I can see another fitting in their room but he thinks eventually they will all want their own rooms.
Not sure how to bring him round on this one.

Sorry I'm having a moan again. It must every month around this time I get depressed about not having another. Who knows if I can get pregnant, I just want to try.

Have your tests arrived yet Jag?

Hi 3Cats

Sorry that you haven't had a very good weekend. I don't think that you are moaning it all sounds very familiar. I'm very much in the same boat although DH has been a little better this month. Its cd13 tomorrow for me which is when i usually ov so we will see if it continues. I know what you mean about never being the right time to dicuss it my DH never likes to talk. I'm sorry that you have argued about this. Do you know why your DH is so against the idea? apart from the space issue which can usually be got around. I sometimes think that men don't understand a womens emotional need for children. I think that they tend to think on a more practical level.
I hope you can sort it out.
My tests still haven't come.

Take Care
J

They are more practical, you're right.
My DH said to me that I am only thinking from an emotional perspective and not being at all practical and that's no reason to have another baby.

I've thoroughly cleaned and tidied today to make it look more spacious. He probably won't notice though. It's worth a try.

Hope it works out for you too.

Practical problems are a lot easier to sort out than emotional ones though. If you don't go on to a least try for another child you may have regrets but once a child is here how could you regret it. Its easier for me to say that though with only having DD. I'm a great believer in whats meant to be.

That's exactly what I said to DH. I would hate to get to a point where it's too late and then regret not trying.

The trouble is he is only 37 but believes he is more like 57. He has this real age thing at the moment, only since turning 37. Not sure why but he thinks he is too old !! Very strange. 37 is probably quite young these days to be having children. Most of his friends are the same age and none of them have children. They have all got used to 2 high incomes and a certain lifestyle.

Well I'd better do some more clearing and tidying.
Have a good day.

Hi 3Cats are things any better? I know what you mean re the age thing. My DH will be 40 in Oct but i'm sure he thinks he is 60. I don't think that this seems old these days. When i pick DD up from school most of the parents seem to be around my age (35) or older.
I'm still not having any luck with the sticks. They agreed to send another lot out on Thurs but haven't received them either.

Take Care
