Cavemum TTC#1 - Currently undergoing fertility tests.

Hello all, so sorry some of you are aving a bit of a pants time, Josie that sounds horrible, I have a history of passing out during blood tests, it's horrible I know.

I am all over the place here. I am on day 28, I never got my temperature high, and now I have my ERTD starting. With added cramps. My temp has shot up today

So I will do 1-2 more charts this summer then maybe go back to the endo/fertility clinic in the autumn and perhaps Clomid will sort me out? I have no idea if I am even ovulating and OPKs don't sound all that reliable as a sure way of knowing.

Plus, if I ovved this month on a 28 day cycle, we did do 'it' at all the right times as far as I can tell.

Humph.

So, TigerseyeMum, CD 1, cycle 13 ttc 1.

Sorry to hear that Tigerseye, sometimes even doing it at all the right times doesn't work unfortunately (says the expert ) I'm on cycle 13 too, unlucky for some, lucky for others, at least that's what I'm telling myself

Hi all, how are you? God this cycles a long one! Think im on day 45, dont think ive ov'd although had a lot of cramping and saw boobs. Temp went up but back down again :( fed up! Wouldnt mind waiting if i had regular cycles. 7 weeks to go til dr will do blood tests! (not that im counting!!)

Not sure exactly when (or if) I would have ovulated Lancy. I'm assuming between 9th and 13th, which would put me between and 9 and 13 dpo at present.

Peed on a stick this morning, as the waiting got to me...BFN . I'm hoping that it could still just be that it's too early to show up yet....it ain't over til that awl bitch AF sings!!

Err, sorry - tomboy even

Heya,

I'm brand new posting here however have been trawling through the threads for the last few months wondering when it would be my turn to start TTC. Couple of days ago DP said he wants to start trying and basically I'm on cloud 9!!!!!!! Have missed out on this cycle, however in August he won't know what's hit him!!

Anyway, that's all my news. Am just so happy I can join Mumsnet for real and hoping for BFP some time soon.

Welcome Mamma, it's a mad house in here, but we are lovely!

A quiet weekend in here, I hope everyone has been out enjoying themselves!

Not a lot to report here, trying to make a start on packing for the move! We've had a letter from the IVF clinic, who deal with the Clomid monitoring asking DH to do yet another semen sample so it'll be a few more weeks before we can get an appointment to sort out the next stage.

Hello Ladies, the ones I know & the ones I don't... Unfortunately I'm back on this thread, my little bean stopped growing at 4 weeks and I'm waiting for it to finish flushing itself out...

Feeling emotional, gutted and a bit of a failure at the moment, but will only be indulging in that for a day or so - got to see the positives, eg. I can get pregnant - have done it before & can do again. So I'll be dusting off the thermometer, unpacking those ov sticks and getting DH organised just as soon as I can.

Oh Late I'm so sorry. Here have a and a very un-MN (((hug))).

Sorry, that should of course be . Oh sod it, have two

Can I join too? Rather old first time TTC-er at 43 - not my fault I didn't find the right man until last year.

Just starting ttc in earnest after nothing for the last 4-5 months of half-hearted trying and expecting it to 'just happen'. Oh how we laughed (not!).

Late I am so so sorry. But you're right - the only thing for it is to crack on again with TTC.

Have a large doughnut and a cup of tea on me.

So sorry to hear that late, welcome back, hopefully your stay will be short :)

Sad news late. I admire your positive thinking and wish you a lot of strength as you keep trying.

Thanks so much ladies I've had a really good cry, pulled myself together & went into work this afternoon. Did me good I think, I'm still gutted & upset, but not so teary and emotional. It's funny, but already I don't feel pg - even though it's still in there I don't feel any connection to it & just want it all to be cleared out so I can get on with bagging my next bfp!

I am enjoying a rather large glass of vino tonight thanks Cave! Haven't had one of these in a loooooooooong time! (I think I'm a little tiddly already actually )

Now then, down to business. When it comes to stats, am I going to be on cycle 7, or do I go back to cycle 1?

desperateoldie, welcome to the TTC party, good for you for holding out for the right man. Hope you rub the infertility scaremongers' noses in the mud by getting your bfp in record time!

cheers to your BFP some time soon I hope late enjoy the vino

Oh my God Late, I'm so sorry to hear your news. Having been there myself about 6 weeks ago, I know how awful it is. I had the same thing re: suddenly not feeling pg. In my case, it was the day before 'the main event' when everything seemed to reset. I was bleeding heavily by that point after spotting off and on for several weeks.

Did they give you options about management? If you don't want to wait for nature to take its course, there are ways to hurry things up.

Be good to yourself, there are plenty of us in the same boat if you want to talk.

hugs

Hi...can I join please? Been trying for 6 cycles.....not long by official standards but long enough to be bit frustrating.

Ok (hoping I get these acronyms right)

Pokito (31), TTC#1, cycle 6, UCL28ish, CD1 :(... Here we go again

Thanks Late. Especially since you are fully entitled to have no room in your heart or mind for anything but yourself given your recent news. So sorry about little bean, but you have such an amazingly positive attitude I'm sure you'll get yourself another BFP very soon - let's hope this one's a sticky one :)

It's a shame my right man is nearly 14 years my junior and freaked out about the whole TTC thing. He'll come around, it's just scary is all. How does he think I feel? It's my body going to go up the Swanny LOL and I'm no spring chicken to start with! My brain may still think it's in its early 30s, but my body sure knows it's in its 40s!

Fingers crossed for everyone this month...DP doesn't know it yet, but next weekend we're going to be doing a lot of SWI! Bwahahahaha :o

Hello all, been a while since I have posted but just been catching up with everyones news. Seems like lots of you have been through tough times lately so lots of positive thoughts going out to you.

I am currently on CD 26, think we did it at the right time this month after using ov sticks and getting a positive so am desperately hoping for symptoms but nothing really apart from slightly sore boobs but that's normal before af anyway. Am on school holidays now so far too much thinking time on my hands, trying to keep busy and forget about it but who am I kidding?!

Good luck to everyone, hope to be checking in more regularly while I am off...

Can I join? I had been on the March Bus for 2 cycles (beginning & end) & didn't fancy joining bus after bus :(
I am 34 & on cycle 6 of ttc my first & have not had a hint of a BFP yet.
Trying to stay hopeful & relaxed but also worry is starting to set in - Why am I not updiffed yet?!
I am temping & using OPKs so am pretty sure when I ovulate each cycle so who knows what is going on??
Only on cd6 so am in the relaxed staged before the swi starts & then the 2ww obsession!!
Well that is me, hi to everyone else

As it's now cycle day 28, and not a peep of AF, tried a test but BFN . Still hoping though.

Feel massive and can't stop eating, plus I almost fainted at the bus stop yesterday (although I am off work with severe vertigo at the moment, this was worse than usual). Probably just premenstrual, but you never know!!

Ooo more newbies! Welcome!

Floydie do you know when you ovulated? Tests are unlikely to be accurate until 14 days after ovulation, so there's a chance you just tested too early. Give it till the weekend and perhaps try again.

Hope you're doing ok Late

[waves to everyone else]

Hi Cave, I'm doing ok today, thanks for asking. I'm going to work and just waiting for this bit to be over so I can get back to making a new bean... Hopefully by the end of Monday things will have been dealt with.

I had a bit of a meltdown last night, got engulfed in a tidal wave of emotion that took me by surprise. DH came home to find me in bits on the sofa and we had a bit of a howl together. It was quite theraputic! I am pretty strong-willed and can think myself positive in most situations, but those darn hormones mix everything up! I have realised that I need to absorb what's going on here and deal with it, as well as get through the physical side before I can really think about TTC again. I was feeling all these really strong emotions about the pip, felt very attached to it and protective over it because it was so wanted and it was DH's, even though it had hardly developed into anything. Very irrational but very real.

I'll be lurking and keeping an eye on you all, but I think I jumped back in here too soon so I'm going to take a bit of a break until it's all over and I really am TTC again. Keep my seat warm!

Totally understand your thinking Late, you are on a real emotional rollercoaster and need time to process things.

Look forward to seeing you soon [grabs slice of cake]
