And whopping congrats on the BFPs!

Hi - got my ov testing sticks today - will need to wait 4 days to start using them - bus should be good for bding at weekend! Still on diet but not lost much - but hand better now, so can type and drive again! Hoping for a bfp in the next few cycles as would love to be off when dd starts school!

majormoo · 31/01/2006 13:08

Hello Piffle-welcome

Well I have done another test and same result! Due date will be 10th October if all goes OK.
Jane I think I will be offered a CVS at around 11 weeks, which diagnoses various chromosonal problems. But not sure what we will do about that. There is a still a risk of miscarriage with the procedure. That is a long way off yet anyway-will feel like a milestone to get that far.

Good luck with the fertility Dr appointment Jen.

Golly it is really hard to ttc and not get all wrapped up in everything.
Today I'm panicking about only having one tube (ectopic nov04), that dp was only here for 4 days last wee, left Monday am, today I am on day 17 and having ov pains
Hard enough to bloody conceive with him here.

majormoo · 31/01/2006 15:48

that's why I never like hearing advice to just relax about it all. It just isn't that easy!

well you never know piffle, if he only left on Monday there may still be a chance.

FirstNikki · 31/01/2006 16:38

just crashing in to say congrats majormoo on your bfp!

Jen1209 · 31/01/2006 16:42

Hi Piffle and welcome! Hi to everyone else!

Sorry to hear that DH is away whilst you ov Piffle - at least you get ov pains though! I have never known when I ov although I found out why today...

Fertility Dr gave me the results today. I have had 3 day 21 bloods in the last 6 months and I haven't been ov'ing hence why we have had such probs - the Dr thinks the only time I have ov'ed in recent history is when we conceived in Sept... therefore she has put me on a 3 month course of Clomid which will hopefully do the trick (please please please) I am v pleased that I have some answers but it still doesn't tell me why the m/c happened (sorry, bit of a control freak, I like to have all the answers!)

So therefore in the first time in forever, I am really looking forward to AF arriving I then have to go back in the first month of the clomid to have the day 21 bloods done again to make sure the Clomid is working...

DP isn't going to know what's hit him next month!

Hope everyone else ok, how are you feeling majormoo?

Piffle · 31/01/2006 16:56

Jen its great to have some information isn't it, a reason to work on!
I really hope the Cloid does the job, I know there have been a lot of Clomid threads on here previously - althought I admit to being butt hole ignorant about it.

Yes I've read up about ov pain and there is some evidence that the pain can occur towards the end of the ovulation, so the egg could have already made headway (maybe ...) I do well get the pain late on cd 17, and I only have a 27-30 day cycle so that could be true.
Ahhh only one way to know for sure... the two week wait

munz · 31/01/2006 16:59

piffle - (sorry to hijack girls) I have one overy - i'm sure I've told u? anyhow I saw 3 dr's one consultant the 3 dr's told me that i'd OV every month as the one remaining 'wins' the OV by defult and doens't have to compete to OV witht eh other side. it took us 14 months (ish) to concieve the first one (DH was away thou for 6 months of it). I only had OV pains (split second) for about 2 months after that nothing, no OV or period so don't give up hope honney. ((((hugs)))

Piffle · 31/01/2006 20:22

Thx Munz
I get rippinjg ov pains always have, like now have just taken 2nd dose of nurofen on top of paracetamol - left hand side which is my 2good" side so grrr
the ironic thing is it would be too bloody painful to bd anyway!

fairydust · 31/01/2006 21:33

cd28 here - have no idea wether AF will show it's ugly head this month or wether a little baby seddling may be making it's bed - at the moment i like the thought of the seedling.

hope everyone is well.

Is any one else at the end of the cycle and waiting?

fairydust · 01/02/2006 09:05

I feel sick
but i also have a little tummy ache

jane313 · 01/02/2006 11:04

jen. I had something similar to you. I had 2 21 day blood tests in a row which showed I wasn't ovulating (although the consultant said the levels showed there was some ovulatory activity, whatever that means!). I thought I would be put on clomid but he wanted to do an ultrasound and an hsg to see if there were scars in the utereus from my c section first. Then I got pregnant then miscarried. So am back to see consultant in 2 weeks time to see if I still need to do expensive tests! No af yet anyway. Good luck with the clomid (my friend had twins from that- yikes!)

Jen1209 · 02/02/2006 11:08

Hi Jane, the Dr wanted to do another Day 21 test but I got a bit bolshy and said that I had already had 2 done which showed I wasn't ovulating so could I please just have the Clomid!

Good luck with the hsg and the other tests, my Dr wanted to do an HSG but I then got pg so she said it wasn't neccessary? Am currently surfing and scaring myself by reading up on the Clomid - some of the side effects look pretty scary!

AF due 11th Feb and we are going to be on hol in Spain (why, why does AF always show up whenever I book a holiday?) so will have to start the 1st course over there as am not waiting til March...

Hope everyone else ok, J x

Jen1209 · 02/02/2006 11:09

P.S any news Fairydust? Hope things ok...

jane313 · 02/02/2006 18:11

thats interesting about the hsg jen. I hope I don't have to have one as its £250 ish! I did speak briefly to the another consultant and he thought I would still have to have it.

I had 2 21 day tests and the private consultant wanted to do it again. I tried to do it for free through the gp but she couldn't see why, so if he wants it again I shall have to pay.

2 friends had been on clomid. One got no bad side effects and one just got headaches

Have a lovely holiday. Although you could get a spanish pregnancy test and get a "si, embarazado"

Jen1209 · 02/02/2006 18:31

Jane - lol take it that is spanish for BFP! If I were you I would do what I did (?!) and refuse the next day 21 if you consultant suggests it as it is only prolonging the whole thing and costing you money. Sorry if that sounds a bit bolshy I am known for it...

Had a cuddle with a 3 week old baby today - she was beautiful but it all made me a bit weepy. Fingers crossed soon be all of us!

Right, off to threaten my bunny rabbit with the stew pot if he continues to tip his litter tray over -

I'm tucked away on my 2 week wait for af...
dull dull dull.
I'm on cd20, cycle is usually 27-31 days in length.

lucy5 · 03/02/2006 08:56

I've come to say hello on the lucky thread! I have a sneaky feeling i might be preggers. I wasnt planning it but now am deperate for it to be true. If it's not i'm going to start ttc. I cant remember when my last period was, which isnt very helpful but I think im late and feel a little bit strange. I hope i'm not talking myself into it.

staceym11 · 03/02/2006 14:46

well im still waiting, now on day 30 of my 28 day cycle! lol still no signs of anything so fingers crossed!!!

think there might be something in this fertile time of year stuff, as dd was due 31st oct, and came 22nd oct and if i am pg this one will be due 11th oct! lol scary!

Piffle · 03/02/2006 15:03

would be the same for me!
My dd was 22 Oct as well, due 6 Nov.

Piffle · 03/02/2006 15:03

would be the same for me!
My dd was 22 Oct as well, due 6 Nov.

lucy5 · 03/02/2006 15:05

Jen1209 · 03/02/2006 17:05
