New thread..... let's get going!!

POAS today even though I want going to and got a BFN :(

have taken a leaf out of raspberry's book and bought some ridiculously high heels to cheer myself up! :)

Sorry to hear that Choccolate.
This is a thread for me, one week to go until POAS time then it's either box of choccs or big glass of wine depending result, like the heels buying idea too actually

Pickle, not everyone gets an implantation bleed, so it really is too early to tell. Not what you wanted to hear I know!

Sorry about the BFN Chocolate.

I'm going to put my mother hen hat on for a moment and say two things to everyone:

1. Step away from the piss sticks! There is no point in testing before at least 12dpo. Regardless of what they say, most pee sticks can only give you an accurate result after at least 14dpo.
2. Google is your enemy!

As you were

Hi I'm new!

29, got 5 stone or more to lose and TTC.

First month of trying and just came on fiancé also has low sperm count!

Whatever will be, will be!

Morning girls, I'm 11 days past ov and starting to get an urge to poas but am determined to wait. I'm supposed to be doing a two hr exercise class tomorrow! I don't think I'll push myself too hard though, will blame my period :) didn't get to wear my shoes :( gutted but we didn't go out in the end. They will have to wait for summer. Im back on the healthy living now, day 1 yesterday, need to shed a bit of fat as my wobbles have crept back in. We can be diet buddies misschunks! I also caved last night and booked a spray tan. I just cannot face being pasty anymore, I look transparent its so horrible!!

I've got really behind with the news and the newbies lately as mostly been on my phone so skim reading and DH gets cross when I come on the forums now after my melt down a few weeks ago so I have to be sly about! I'll pop back tonight and try and do a proper catch up.

first month of TTC for me and I just got my AF last night, bang on time. Darn it! I really would have liked to be one of those smug women who get up the duff first go.

Right, I'm following you lot's advice getting some highly inappropriate shoes.

Can I substitute shoes for a handbag? I wear wellies most of the time so high heeled shoes not a good option for me. I do need ideas though - I like to have a treat after my injections but I never have anything planned so I need some ideas of what I can get in stock to cheer me up afterwards. Ideas on a card please...

Thanx cave!! For the motherly advice!
Waves to newbies!
I'm off to town today no heels or handbags but bikini bottoms (I've already got a top) ready for holiday next week! :)!

Hi everyone,

Hope you're all hanging in there and treating yourself as required. Josie: I hope you're coping better with the injections now. A big wave to McPrice and MissChunks and I do hope that you won't need to stick around for long (in the nicest possible way, of course!)

I had a horrible week last week, feeling down in the dumps, tearful and quite negative about it all...I had the scan on Friday and there were no follicles. I burst into tears and the nurse explained that my oestrogen levels were very low and this was the reason why I was feeling so low which was a relief. She told me to inject every day until Monday when I saw her for another scan. I got very frustrated as she told me off yet again for "not emptying my bladder properly" which is rubbish as I always go to the loo right before I go in...after that, she spent AGES digging and stirring and could not find my ovaries so she did an abdominal ultrasound and eventually found them but said they're almost outside of my uterus (!) so it would be difficult for IVF to work .

My gut feeling is that they are being told to fob people off on any grounds as the PCT is not funding IVF any longer. It seems obvious that I have some sort of issue that is not being detected and the priority for them appears to be saving money rather than getting to the bottom of it. I have made an appointment to see my GP tomorrow and hopefully, she will be able to apply a bit of pressure on them. Hoping the scan tomorrow goes well so we can have our second go on Friday...

Off to choir practice in a bit for a bit of therapeutic belting!

MC What did she mean by almost outside your uterus? they're meant to be separate from your uterus! Maybe ask your GP if they've received a formal report of the scan and ask them to explain it to you. (or have i got the wrong end of the stick?!)

littlemisslemon: you're right! I was in such a daze that I didn't even click about what she'd said...I think she probably meant to say outside of the pelvis although I'm not sure...I had another scan this morning and this time, it was performed by a knowledgeable and amiable doctor (what a change!). She went for the external one instead (much better) and could see my ovaries straight away. She said it was perfectly normal for them to be high and that it should have no bearing on my fertility so that was nice to hear...Also, I have several big follicles so we're having our second go on Friday morning.

Last time, we were told to abstain from sex but now I've been instructed that we MUST do it tonight as early as possible and then abstain until after Friday...not really in the mood for it but we're used to sex being anything but spontaneous so we'll just get on with it

Mc im so glad the news is more positive today i felt awful for you yesterday. i bet the news today felt so good :)

In my last 2ww till the wedding and its driving me nuts. Half of me desperately wants to be pg now then the other half is like i cant be as i have a wedding to organize and i wouldn't want to be pg and as stressed out as i am.
Who stupid idea was it to get married in 5 month

How is everyone today?

Oh yes i reached a new baby low.... watching videos on youtube of people telling dp's and familys they are pg.
It did give me a great idea of how to tell dp whan it does happen :)

Hi again
MCT hope the SWI went well and hope the first scanner was spoken to by someone on your behalf!

amaze that is a new one, I am resisting the urge to youtube - many the hour has been wasted at work that way!

I have a weird symptom - a buzzing feeling in my pelvis, just above the pubic bone - any ideas? It has been coming and going for about 40 seconds at a time on and off for about 3 hours... Probably my imagination at this stage, but we'll have SWI tonight just in case (I am CD30 - cycles normally 42-45 days, so could in theory be something ovulation related - anyone? grasps at straws

Hi Ladies, may I join you? I have a feeling I'm about to get pushed off the November/December flight and need a place where I can come to recuperate.

My story, in short: We've been TTC for 7 months now. I started temping last month and discovered no significant shift in temperature after the middle of the month so suspected I might not be OV'ing. Went to the doc to have my hormones checked and discovered my Androstenedione levels were too high which inhibits OV. Doctor suspects that may be caused by a small dermoid cyst on my right ovary. I'm booked in for an MRI next week and will likely have the thing removed soon. I hope removal will bring my hormone levels back to normal again. We're still TTC while we're going through this and hoping it works out in the mean time.

I temped again this month and did see a shift mid-cycle and my temp stayed high for the rest of the cycle so I assume I did OV. Got all excited that I might be PG but POAS on Monday and had a BFN. AF is due anywhere between today and Saturday and although I'm not getting any obvious AF symptoms, I have a feeling she's lurking.

Hello secretsparkle - lovely to see you! I'm 33 and just waiting around for that BFP too, though having to postpone ttc for a couple of months because of work trips. No probs as far as I know, just taking some time... I don't message all the time but love to see what everyone's up to and I think it's really heartening to have people to chat to rather than boring everyone with the TTC obsession!

Hi everyone, hope it's ok for me to join this thread too!!
SecretSparkle we were on the same thread but yeah most ppl have left as they got their BFP.

I'm 31, been TTC for 12 months now. Had a chemical pregnancy last August and nothing since. Had tests done, dr says I have PCOS, husband had a low sperm count but took lots of vitamins and last test showed he is ok now!! So just me to sort out. On second round of clomid, so keeping fingers crossed. It really gets to me some days like today. All my friends have babies or are pregnant and I just feel sorry for me and DP.
I'm sure I'll be happy again tomorrow :)

As you've got a group of newbies, seems like this might be a good time to re-join. I was here briefly a few months ago, but dropped off the thread with other things happening.

I've been trying now since Sept 2010, on cycle 21 now. DH has under performing, but not terrible swimmers, and I've just been shown to have a blocked tube on a HSG earlier this month. Fingers crossed we'll get a post HSG clean tube BFP, but I'm only 3 or 5DPO just now.

I love to read and chat on the threads, though just now I have RSI in my hand so my posts are limited a bit. Will be reading through to catch up on your latest news though.

Hello HopingSoon I know just what you mean. So many babies/pregnancies in my workplace at the moment (Well, not actually babies working...) And facebook just awash with newbaby pics! They should have a self-pity button on here too.

All the best for you stasi for a BFP coming up! And thanks for the chocolate brownies, now how very thoughtful of you...

Wow! A sudden rush of newbies!

Welcome all

So many new people! Hello all :)

Loads of new people, lovely! I ate the brownies, but brought some home-made hazelnut and chocolate cookies to replace. This is not part of the low-GI diet that apparently I should be following for my PCO to get better (how depressing - nerner you can't get pregnant and now you have to give up all sweet comforting food... )
hopingsoon I've just been diagnosed with PCOS and am hoping to persuade my gynae to give me some clomid - she said in a rather blasé tone - 'why don't' you just keep trying for a while' (I'm pretty convinced I'm not ovulating - certainly nothing to the contrary to persuade me... ) I've got a couple of hectic months and DH is working away at potentially 'fertile' times so I'm going to wait until after Easter to go and try to persuade her... fingers crossed something miraculous happens in the meantime!
And I am so with the people green with envy at the newborn babies surrounding us... my goodness, where do they all come from???

Anyway, here's hoping for bfps all round!

Waves to all newbies!! Lovely to have you on here!

Pretty sure AF is coming, here's to March let's hope it's our month!! :)!

AF arrived. Completed gutted :( why do I keep kidding myself, I set myself up for heartache every month. This just isn't ever going to happen for me, needless to say I feel like complete and utter shit and I'm working until 10 pm tonight. Really don't want to :(
