BFP in 2012 Part 4 - the one where we all get pregnant!

[winkle2]

New thread! Come on girls, lets all get pregnant!!

I have gone off alcohol for all these months. Soooooo want a booze free Christmas too

Me and OH might go teetotal in the new year to see if that helps - if we don't get anywhere by then.

Start my new job next week and AF is due on Sunday. Wonder if I'll be the woman people talk about 'who found out she was pregnant the day she started a new job'. Maybe I'll be that anecdote.

Fx you get to tell that anecdote winkle I am feeling very broody now. Just pure desperation - want to get knocked up SO bad this month.

Fx the bfps start rolling on this thread! I am even contemplating writing to Santa. I think he will get me what I want soooo bad for Christmas!

Can you include me in your letter to Santa?!

Every time I think dh and I actually have a good shot at ttc, his bloody work messes it up! He had to go back this morning and we haven't managed to dtd since cd11. Today is cd13 and no sign of ov. Just a bit gutted as he was supposed to be home til Monday and we'd planned a nice weekend. So now there's no chance of a November bfp and who knows where he'll be in December! Feel like giving up :(

winkle - that sounds like a good anecdote!!

red - also feeling v broody! was around a pg girl last night who only has 10 weeks to go and another girl y'day with a 4 month old baby boy whose other LO is the same age as my DS and i had to leave the room. this is the first month its really just getting under my skin!!!

weechops - :( :( thats really rubbish :(

cd14 here, wateryish cm but not ewcm. having a bit of mild heartburn which seems to be a new & weird sign of imminent ov for me. last cycle was 31 days so ov prob happened around cd 15/16/17 so needless to say proper shagathon has been in effect here since y'day after a few 'warm up' sessions last week. fx fx fx for everyone!!

on top of that [[http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=lFfpPrqoZRc&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DlFfpPrqoZRc&gl=GB look at the BRUTAL (if you are ttc) ad]o they keep showing between episodes of thomas the tank engine and peppa pig on kids tv!! The thing is literally on a loop. Groans. If i ever get pg again im never buying any of their stuff, how dare they be so mean?!

http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=lFfpPrqoZRc&desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DlFfpPrqoZRc&gl=GB sorry bad link above

but dont watch it anywsy. B*ards.

ha ha another bad link. stupid phone. you get the idea!

Aw weechops that is rubbish. If recommend to try and dtd whenever you can and keep your fingers crossed. We do hear of people who get pregnant when they dtd around what they thought couldn't possibly be the time.

Littlemiss - it's so hard being around other's children. I keep myself sane by telling myself that they aren't MY children. Somehow it helps.

I'm on cd28 here but no idea if/when I ov'd as I ran out of sticks for my monitor. I dtd from cd9 to cd21 so I'm hoping I'm covered.

weechops really sorry about dh's work. Just keep dtd whenever you can, you never know.

littlemiss I know what you mean. So many of my friends with toddlers the same age as dd are pregnant and the is really tough.

winkle sounds like you covered yourself well dtd wise.

Hi everyone. Haven't posted for ages. Hope you are all OK. No real prospect of my getting up to date by reading back so I'll just wing it!

October was a tricky month. My m/c "due date" has come and gone. AF for Nov arrived bang on time yesterday. Also in Oct, there were two horrible dental procedures (hate the dentist) for me, one knee op followed by a DVT for DH and my mum was diagnosed with breast cancer needing surgery next week. I can safely say that I want to see an end to 2012 which started off so well with a BFP on Valentines's Day but has gone downhill since!

Hope everyone else is feeling a bit more optimistic than me. Think we're off down the IVF route in January...

sorry to hear you're having such a rought time respisa :( hope your mum is ok, my mil had breast cancer in 2011 and she recently got her all clear, v relieving. really hope your mum has a similar experience. my would have been due date will be in feb...a couple of days after my birthday so i am dreading it and i feel your pain :(

when - keep telling myself that a bigger than planned age gap will work out for the best and its nice having all the extra time with ds as the only wee one but yes still do feel a bit

winkle - hopefully cd28 means you are getting v close to a bfp xx

think ewcm has arrived so ov prob going to happen tonight or tomorrow. dtd y'day and it'll be dvd and pizza for ds for 20 mins this evening while i grab DS for a quickie when he gets in from work to keep bases covered! been so stressed with work and other stuff over last week or so i have neuralgia so im.going to guess thats prob not best conditions for ttc. must go and listen to whale song while DS has his lunchtime nap lol

Thanks littlemiss. The age gap thing is a bugger, isn''t it? Remind me, how old is your DS? My DD is 22 months and at first I said I wanted DC2 before she was 2 (all on track before fate intervened), then I said before 2.5, now I'm thinking before 3 is unlikely! Of my group of about 15 friends with DC1 the same age as DD, 4 are pregnant (that I know of so far anyway) but I bet that number shoots up in the next few months. They all know about my m/c and I see the pity in their eyes when they tell me their news. I HATE it!!!

winkle not sure I ever said congrats on the new job so congrats! Have you escaped the law?

resipsa hi really sorry you have had such a shit time and I really hope your mum is ok. Do you really need to do ivf in Jan? Hope things improve soon.

Big hug resipsa sorry you are having such a rough time. my gran had breast cancer too and she came out of it fighting and well. Please looks after yourself and your family.

littlemiss I know its hard seeing other children and not being able to know when it will happen for you makes it worse.

winkle - as if I'd leave you out of the letter!

I am hoping this year ends on a happy note for all of us. Can't take this any longer. I don't think I have truly felt happy since the brief glimmer of a positive test in July. I kept thinking about how happy I was driving into work with a grin on my face and how amazing it felt. At times I wish I never had the positive test, because knowing what it felt like makes me sad that I don't have it anymore. I'd do anything to get that feeling back.

Sorry to hear things aren't so good at the moment, res. but nice to see you again. Thanks for new job congrats, I am moving out of law, yes!!

Big hugs red. I'm dreading Xmas and the end of the year esp as I thought I'd be pregnant LAST Xmas. Another baby free Xmas is going to hurt so bad.

So I log in to Facebook and I see someone who got married a few months back announce they're having a baby. Ffs. I feel like the only person in the world who got married and didn't get pregnant straightaway :(

Aww winkle sorry about the Facebook announcement. They should ban announcements on it. I remember feeling and when one of my friends announced her bloody dog was pregnant on Facebook.

red sorry you are feeling really down at the moment. Don't have any advice for you or words of comfort. It's just a bit shit.

Oh winkle you are not alone. There's loads of us here who got married and are not pg yet. Ill be 3 years in may!
Have u started job or do u start Monday?
I'm off to Iceland in a few hours for a long weekend! Well excited!

DH just got his results back from his SA. Its not good :(
He has a higher amount of abnormal sperm.

Our GP is unable to read the result and help anymore. We have an appointment with the fertility clinic next week to find out what this means for us.

I feel sick and so upset. Does anyone know what this means? feels like such a blow. we naively expected it to come back normal.. Just don't know what this means? He said it can be treated. Again no idea how or what to do until we see the specialist at the clinic! its just dawned on me that this is going to be a very long journey. trying not to cry at work :( :(

Oh bless you red. I don't know anything about it but I think winkle might be able to help. Hugs x

respisa - DS is 26 months, i wanted a 2.5 year age gap and when I got pg back in June it would have worked out perfectly. now it'll be 3 years if i get pg this month, but, realistically prob bigger gap than that. oh well, keep trying to see the positives! (its hard!)

red - sorry to hear that. we havent had SA done so cant say i know a lot about it but i guess the main thing is that they have identified an.issue which is treatable and you are getting to the fertility clinic, where they can hopefully give you some answers. Its better than unexplained infertility anyway, keeping fx for you that clinic are helpful&reassuring

lol- hav a fab weekend! i was out meeting friends last night, catching up with other friebds tonight and away at a wedding all day tomorrow so uts a bit of a holiday wkend for me too

when - jealous of a pg dog lol so know what u mean tho!!!

cd15 for me, cm back to kind of creamy again so i think possibly ov happened last night. dtd on cd13 and grabbed a quicky with dh at teatime y'day so hope we caught it. will continue dtd for next week or so anyway just to be sure...theb the awful waiting starts...

winkle we were married 10 years before we got pregnant, mainly because we wanted to enjoy our lives together first, so just use that excuse if anyone asks...

red so sorry to hear your news...but on the plus side, the doc thinks it can be sorted. I've just come back from a soft play with an ex colleague & her ds...I didn't realise at the time, but she had IVF-it was her dh's sperm that was the problem (something about them swimming round in circles, instead of straight line/aiming for where they should go). In short, she told me that they 'washed' the sperm & inserted it into her..it worked first time for her.

While it might not be the same medical issue,what I'm trying to say is at least they know they can potentially solve/treat the problem.

Obv I will keep everything crossed that you both don't need to go down the IVF route, but please stay strong for each other...that baby will make its way to you sooner than later hopefully xxx
