Thingy - thanks for that, spot on! I know that to test will not affect the outcome but I'm desparate not to find out the truth for as long as I can!

twinklestar2 · 14/05/2013 18:19

Good luck res, have everything crossed for you (apart from legs as its shag week).

resipsa · 15/05/2013 07:26

TMI but who'd ever have thought I'd be grateful for haemorrhoids (sp?). Saw blood this morning, felt instantly depressed until I realised it was from the back not front! Another TTC madness!

auntiemoo · 15/05/2013 08:18

Not something I had ever thought I would say res but yay for piles!!! Lol. Hoping that af stays the hell away from you!!!!

twinklestar2 · 15/05/2013 10:28

Sorry res but that made me laugh!

I'm on cd15 here and monitor still saying high. Have dtd cd11, 13 and 14. Have to abstain now till Friday as OH does his SA then and you can't ejaculate for 2-3 days. He's going for a couple of well deserved drinks afterwards!

I've been using Preseed and drinking grapefruit juice after dtd - I'm trying everything at the moment!

Thingymajigs · 15/05/2013 13:50

oh god you lot do make me laugh.
I always feel bad for the men who have to go for SA's. Even my DP who is a very confident person felt a little odd and scared when he walked into the hospital for his SA. Apparently he couldn't look the nurse in the eye afterwards. Hope you get those results through quickly.
CD13 here and we are doing the SMEP again so DP is going to need a well deserved rest after this week. CM just appearing so I guess its a bit delayed this cycle.

resipsa · 16/05/2013 16:28

Life is a shit. My friend buried her 3 week old daughter today .

Adsum · 16/05/2013 16:42

Oh res that is absolutely awful - what happened? How utterly tragic and unfair - a parents' worst fear and nightmare

Thingymajigs · 16/05/2013 16:59

That is awful. I can't imagine anything worse. A family friend lost her much loved (IVF conceived) daughter at 6 months due to a tragic accident. I wonder how its possible to go back to any sense of normality after that. So sorry res, you must be feeling the loss too.

twinklestar2 · 16/05/2013 18:28

I'm so sorry res xx

auntiemoo · 16/05/2013 19:32

Oh god that's awful!!! I'm looking after a lady who lost her daughter suddenly just yesterday. She was 49 but was absolutely fine on Tuesday. The lady I look after has dementia too so she keeps forgetting who has died. My heart breaks every time we have to tell her. These tales put things firmly into perspective don't they. Life is so cruel and sad sometimes. It feels like there is no justice at all :( :( :(

resipsa · 16/05/2013 19:48

Sorry guys, that was a bit dramatic but I was on a train listening to many people moaning about such inconsequential things and I just had to get it out.
It was cot death; PM revealed no abnormality. So so so sad, particularly as another friend had DS3 on the same day so there will be a day by day reminder of what will never be.
Truly, at times, I wish that the desire for DC had never hit me. So much heartache.
Sorry for misery!!!

Nothing worse than the loss of a child...I only know from the experience of losing a baby at 12 weeks gestation...and that was very hard.I can't imagine losing a child later than that or already born:( When my baby was born 11 weeks early at two lbs I never was faced with more fear...when she had emergency surgery at one week..time stopped,felt like I held my breath for all those hours...today we went on a fieldtrip with her preschool to our local firestation..life is all about good times and bad,happy and sad,but always grateful for what we have:)

Husband has just done his jizz in a cup routine. Please pray for good results. He just rung me saying he feels crap. Gosh this journey really is a rollercoaster and it's really hard picking the other one up when they're feeling down. Sigh.

Thingymajigs · 17/05/2013 13:45

Thinking of you both winkle I know how hard that wait is. Its tricky to pretend that the results won't matter and say everything will be ok when you know the results are really important. Hope you can enjoy the weekend. When will you get the results? What were the previous SA results?
I got a +OPK yesterday so we've got to go at it like rabbits... somehow, we are really busy all day as we're going to watch Walking with dinosaurs. So excited! More so than the kids actually.
Hows everyone doing?

resipsa · 17/05/2013 19:09

winkle let us know the SA results. DH's last two were OK on number and motility but poor on morph - 4% and 3%. As you know, we have DD already and 3 of 5 eggs fertilised with ICSI so you'll have a good shot whatever his results. Easy for me to say, I know, but keep that PMA.

My husband will be in the same boat as your husband next month wink...I'm hoping the results are not too bad,I'm sure it has a way of breaking them down if so...as if we are not broken enough by our feelings of inadequate reproduction....my DD's bassinet is at the bottom of the steps and everytime I do laundry I look at it and sigh just wondering if it will ever be filled again..we have two actually but that would just be wishful thinking;) Best of luck friends.. AF is due tomorrow..I presume she will be here....

Kerry hope it's a no show.

Thingymajigs · 18/05/2013 06:26

Yes kerry, I really hope it doesn't show up. My fingers are crossed for you. I work as a volunteer in a charity shop for baby and children's items and all day I sort through newborn clothes and see mothers with their tiny little babies. The reminders are constantly there like with your bassinet. But again, I'm so lucky to have had two already. I never forget that and I refuse to put my life on hold during the TTC process because I'd end up missing the enjoyment of the family I already have.
Hey, how are you doing res?

Thingymajigs · 18/05/2013 06:29

oh, btw, its my son's birthday today, he's 13! I can't believe I'm a parent of a teenager. Best get on with baking a cake really.

twinklestar2 · 18/05/2013 14:19

Happy birthday to your son Thingy!

Adsum · 18/05/2013 16:20

Happy birthday thingys ds!! Bet that's flown by! Mine is 3 next month and I can't believe that!!

Thingymajigs · 18/05/2013 19:00

aw, thank you. He had a lovely day. It honestly does fly by. I was looking up at him (all 6ft of him) wondering how a tiny baby had turned into a fully grown person in such a small amount of time. I remember him turning 3 like it was just a few weeks ago. Hope your dc has a lovely third birthday ads.

Adsum · 18/05/2013 23:38

Thanks thingy!

And good luck res - it must almost be testing time...???
