BFP in 2013

[RedRobin1]

Hello - starting a new one as the old one filled up.....

Didn't want to start another...but I really hope this is the last thread for all of us.

Leen so sorry to see you back here :(

Sorry you're back Leen :(

Hi Leen really sorry you're going through this. I've been ttc 13 months but only joined a thread recently, so hello. Fingers crossed you're not back here long x

Gutted for you leen so sorry for what you are going through

really sorry leen devastated for you.

Thanks so much for your kind words. It's a really nice feed to come back to. And I know all I can do is look forward. Adsum - so sorry you've been through this too. I really hope your body kicks in and starts looking forward too. xx

And hi Alex - let's hope we both get to move on soon. I've got my fingers crossed for each and everyone of you.

Oh leen so sorry, that's just shit. Hope you get a resolution sooner rather than later. Limbo is the worst.

So sorry leen.
Hugs to adsum too.
How are you doing when?
Can't remember where everyone is on their cycles. I'm about 7dpo I think, I haven't been temping so its just guess work. I'm so much more relaxed without all the monitoring.
I keep on seeing great deals on baby items and have to take a step back and remind myself that I'm not pregnant yet.

I'm on CD 12 and have an ovary scan booked for tomorrow to see if I'm about to pop out an egg or not! thingy I can't wait to shop for baby stuff...I accidentally bought a really cool bib a while back and my mother in law said it was bad luck and I shouldn't have done it

Glad you're more relaxed without temping! I'm doing OPKs but not temping either

thingy i'm on 10dpo and apart from sore boobs no other symptoms.

aww alex wouldn't listen to your MIL, do what makes you happy. Just don't tell anyone, because I don't think people in RL understand these things.

I'm on cd6

Hi thingy I'm alright thanks. The nausea isn't getting worse which is worrying but I am really tired which is a good sign.

Need to wait two weeks till I get a scan, times going so slowly.

good luck alex for your scan tomorow, hope the eggie is ready to pop. Just out of curiosity, I have read clomid can sometimes result in lots of strong follicles.... so will they be able to see if more than one egg is ready to pop? Or is it just the one strong egg normally? just wondered.

Apparently they can see if there are too many and even tell you to avoid dtd if there are too many strong follies as that means high risk of multi

Sorry iphone...

high risk of multiple births. Someone on a clomid thread was told not to, but she said she dtd anyway. I don't know how accurate their scans are - as I THINK I read somewhere that someone was told she didn't have any dominant good eggs about to pop, but she then got a BFP that month, so I'm going to dtd anyway, so far every other day since CD 11 so will carry on like that...ahh the romance! Am doing well with not talking to DH about it all though!

Whenshewasbad took natures version of clomid so she may have twins...!

I agree thats the best way.... it must be hard not to tell DH about your scans etc but I find the less DH knows about my OV, the better he is when it comes to dtd. This has been an amazing month of passionate sex, sadly I don't think its going to result in a bfp. But the sex was great!

The other day I found him rummaging through the app on my phone as I refused to tell him about my period or cycle days or anything. I have now password protected my phone its driving him insane. But really dtd can get so clinical with all the stuff we know about CM, OV, temps, etc.... its nice for at least one of us to not know.

I have spent most of this morning reading about Antisperm Antibodies (ASAs). Afraid not much out there is positive :( so I am mentally preparing myself down the clomid>iui>ivf route. His ASAs have gone from 25% to 52% in 3 months. Don't know why the increase. Hoping to get some answers at our appointment next week. I just feel like we aren't going to conceive naturally. So have done a mental plan of trying till June this year and then starting the clomid.

I agree red I'm secretly pretending I'm not obsessed with ttc! Made me laugh about your phone. DH asked me how I was feeling about everything the other day and I said really relaxed and I just want to forget it all and have a good time - TOTAL rubbish but that's what I want him to think! Have to be sneaky about mumsnet these days haha!

I'd never heard of ASAs, can he do anything diet wise to improve that? Also why would clomid help if you're ovulating already - because it makes stronger eggs, is that the theory?

I remember when took soy! I'm thinking of trying it if it clomid doesn't work. How do you feel about the idea of twins when and will you find out - at your first scan? Bet time is really crawling for you, I feel like it is too waiting to see if clomid works!

totally know what you mean about trying to keep things on the downlow with DH. Although - when I was pregnant I didn't want to have sex so in a few weeks time when things are back to normal I am going to jump on him and he's going to know exactly what's going on.

Good luck for your scan tomorrow Alex...
Red - I hope you get a springtime bfp - although sore boobs sound encouraging... Also, I now know that my pregnancy symptoms are totally identical to my PMS symptoms. So irrespective of how you feel, it's not over till AF arrives. Truly.

Thingy - temping didn't work for me at all. It jumped around the whole time. One morning it was so low I should have been almost dead. And it's much more relaxing without it.

Good question Alex I am going to ask my consultant that on Tuesday. The last time she said the normal route of treatment they would recommend for us is clomid first for 6 months, then IUI and if all else fails then IVF last. I am not sure how clomid will help if ASAs prevent his sperm from swimming upstream! So will ask next Tuesday. The thing is I'd take clomid or any pill over invasive treatments.

Unfortunately the research says ASAs can't be cured. Just hoping to push the morphology up to 10% at least over the next 6 months, to create more normal fast swimming sperm who can escape the ASAs.

leen hope you get to jump DH soon and get your bfp next cycle.

when how much soy did you take? Sorry will try and see if I can scroll back through the thread one day. I was thinking of getting some for my cycle next month.
