Hi ladies,

For those of us out of the July game there are not many places to hide so I thought I'd start a new August thread to give us all some positive vibes!

Cycle 3 - BFP August 6th

Sorry for the rant

I can't believe how they can't look back on my files and see the MANY times I have come to see them and how they let me down every single time. They have NO right now to come in and try and offer ANY advice - not when I struggled to get to an A&E vomiting and being violently ill and nearly in a coma and am now being cared for a hospital an HOUR away from my house because I trust them more than I trust the doctor 10 mins down the road.

Also, the amount of effort I've put in to GET my hba1c down to this level (9.1%) is fucking HUGE. How DARE they tell me it's "abnormal"??? Its dropped down from 15.5% FFS. It's a NORMAL course of events for someone 7 weeks later.

So angry with them.

Whenshewas lol at the like going to the gym analogy, that's exactly how I'd describe it too, we've been together 11 years and have been through lulls, you do almost have to " make yourself " at times but always feel good after
Glad you've got a + i think it always makes you feel abit more confident you've atleast had a chance at the right time
I'm still in limbo land, still feel abit sick and headachey not had full af yet it's thicker , smaller and a very dark brown, not red though?! I hate this I keep having to fight with myself is it bad is it not....

KickTheGuru · 31/07/2012 15:55

Ok am really done now.

Sorry

kittykatsforever · 31/07/2012 15:56

Sorry kick, your posts crossed with mine, I feel stupid commenting when others have far worse problems

KickTheGuru · 31/07/2012 15:57

Naw don't be sorry. We all have heartache. No one has anything worse.

My hba1c have dropped nicely and am pleased with it. I am just massively hurt that they can't even be bothered to get my files and look back before they open their mouths about "abnormal" readings. I am very hurt and angry by that.

kittykatsforever · 31/07/2012 16:02

I think you've done miraculous things in such a short space of time, that is typical of hospitals though, they never read or go through history, there is a story on another thread called mc my f* ing arse or something where a girl was told she had mc because they couldn't see it even though she had told them she had pcos and thought shed ovd late, a week later the bean was there!

WhenSheWasBadSheWasHorrid · 31/07/2012 16:07

kitty I just don't know what to think about the brown blood, would say that is old blood but don't want to get your hopes up for it all to go wrong. I really think you need to go to the GP. Fingers still very much crossed for you.

kick really sorry but your rant made me laugh. You have every right to be furious with them and question their ability to manage your condition. Re the opks I test 3/4 times a day which is way too much. I still test first thing in the morning, I don't know why when I never get a positive opk in the morning.

KickTheGuru · 31/07/2012 16:10

Hahahaha - the ironic thing is it's actually not the hospital. It's my doctors. I went to the practice twice before I collapsed and they ignored me twice.

Anyway - fuck em. I am still TTC and am happy with my progress. Not my fault the doctors are complete morons.

Kitty - I don't know what to tell you about the blood? Maybe you just keep taking tests and seeing what happens to the lines?

kittykatsforever · 31/07/2012 16:23

I think that's all I can do, I've contacted the epu for advice but they've not rung me back, if no MSG later ill book an appointment at the go tomorrow

KickTheGuru · 31/07/2012 16:30

What haopened there Newbie? Did you ov later than you thought?

Newbie2 · 31/07/2012 19:25

Yeah turned out I ovulated yesterday (Monday). Does anyone know If DtD tonight is there any chance it will get me pregnant? We DTD twice yesterday and I'm just not sure I have the energy tonight!

OP posts:
KickTheGuru · 31/07/2012 19:53

HA HA randy!

If you can get one in tonight, I would do

Only because the egg can drop three days either side of the spike

berri · 31/07/2012 20:09

Hi ladies, may I join you please? AF not due till end of August...

Tentatively trying for DC2 after finally feeling ready - lots of problems in first pregnancy & DS born prematurely so only now feeling ready to try again!

Here goes!

Newbie2 · 31/07/2012 20:09

I don't feel randy Grin we've deffinately reached the chore stage lol

OP posts:
KickTheGuru · 31/07/2012 20:19

Yeh we had as well. Still not quite on chore which is good seeing as how according to clear blue, I've not even ovulated yet...

bodi · 31/07/2012 20:24

AF arrived today so slightly shorter cycle this month, not sure when/if I ovulated. Have bumped myself down the list. Going to ditch the OPK as I don't think they work for me and just going to go all out shagtastic this month.

How is AF 3 days late on 10DPO? That's hectic - you won't have time to implant?? Is that normal?

LittleFilly · 31/07/2012 20:51

Hi,
Am I too late to join? How is everyone getting on for their August BFPs?
AF due today / tomorrow and the waiting is killing me. Month 7 of TTC, although two months only had one go as husband was away with work. Gave it a really good effort this month, and hopefully got times right as using the CB monitor. But been getting some cramps and light nausea and dreading AF rearing it's ugly head again.

Lots of luck to everyone else out there.

Sheep2345 · 31/07/2012 22:06

Hi kick I too have no idea what is going on!
I had my copper coil taken out on CD16 and had a +ve OPK on CD20. My cycle averages 28 days so now I'm 3 days late. I never OPk'd before TTC so I don't know when I normally ovulate.

This could be due to coil removal but as it is a copper (non hormonal one) then it should not be affecting my cycles.
Either that or I have a stupidly short LP which in itself comes with all host of problems Sad

Either way, I'll test Friday and see what happens, if not, we will start to SWI next cycle as we had counted this month out until the late +OPK cropped up.

KickTheGuru · 31/07/2012 22:33

Late OV = late AF :)

Which is a good thing really because otherwise your LP will be too short

Newbie2 · 31/07/2012 22:34

Sheep may I ask you If the copper coil is painful to insert and remove?I'm thinking I might give it ago after I get pregnant. I don't think I ever want to go back on the pill again!

OP posts:
KickTheGuru · 31/07/2012 22:43

We use condoms. Which suck but I didn't want anything that has to be inside me or injected into me or permanently in me.

I guess the fact I've never fallen pregnant on that philosophy should be a hint?
