BFP 2013

[KerryJewels]

I was on a thread already..with my friends RedRobin1,wee,twinkle,Alex...but now I can't find them..so hopefully they will find me!!I'm on my second round of Clomid TTC a third and final child.I have PCOS and one tube due to an eptopic so the trying part has not been so easy!!Just wanting to talk with others going through the same ordeal as me.Wanting to concieve and share the experience..it can be a long,difficult road.Hope to char with someone soon!!

Ok twinkle.....it's your turn next:)

I'm not going to argue with you Kerry it really is my turn next!!!

Thank you res. I asked him how his day had been and he was explaining how the heat had been a pain in the office so I said "well, hopefully this will make your day better" and I passed him the clear blue digital. His face was priceless and we hugged, jumped up and down and he fell on the bed holding it. Then he asked me what 2-3 meant (obviously worried this meant 2-3 babies). .There were many manly tears and a bit of talking to my tummy which I think is going to feature heavily in the next 8 months.
I hope you guys don't mind but I'll hover around for a bit as I've convinced myself that as 1 in 3 pregnancies don't continue that this is that 1 since my others were fine and I'd miss you lot anyway.
I'm excited to see how your IVF goes winkle. I have a very good feeling about that.
Good luck to all of you. x

Massive congratulations thingy it's so nice to hear good news.

The bfp's do seem to be coming along nicely on this Fred. It's enough to keep you going a bit longer :)

We will all get there ladies. I'm sure of it. By whatever means possible we will all get there. I'm feeling very positive for everyone today. Maybe it's madness but hey I'll take whatever I can get lol.

Good luck to everyone waiting. I'm not worrying about it just now. Didn't even try hard this month so as to avoid the disappointment of last month (not the most sensible thing I've ever done tbh) ov really early this month which I have never been aware of before so that might make a difference it suddenly appeared as peak on day 10 on the cbfm never even considered it would be so early! Which makes me now 9 or 10 dpo can only pinpoint it to two days. Absolutely no symptoms to speak of but not really been paying attention tbh.

How is everyone doing haven't been around much recently :(

CD 16..we got our game face on!!Thinking about buying preseed,anyone know if it helps?

thingy ha, ha about 2-3. Men have no idea about half of the equipment with which we become familiar on this journey (and let's face it, who here ever talked about OPKs, CB digis or even TTC 5 years ago?)!

My brother just sent me a picture of his girlfriend of six months positive pregnancy test...I said congratulations and how I was happy for the two of them.It really made me feel down..not happy.Selfish I know...he said it will be you next sis...he probably knew it crushed me a little.Ive been sulking about it all night..just extra down:,( It's a shame to feel this way....Hope in a few days I feel different..I love my neices and nephews:)They love my kids too:)

It's really hard dealing with others getting pregnant isn't it Kerry :(

I had my appointment today at the IVF clinic. The clinic is nice, they make you feel very comfortable. I had another internal scan (with the dildocam, what joy). They have to check if they can easily access your ovaries when the time comes for them to collect eggs.

Going back in two weeks for a... well I actually don't know what they call it. It's a session where you learn about injecting, you get allocated a nurse and get told the dates and times to start, etc. Then you start the following cycle. I'll be starting next month.

Res - did you do all this? I have a question to ask....

Very excited for you twinkle:)

I'm not. Feel crap and don't believe it's going to happen. OH feels like he's let me down.

Oh no winkle its isn't anyone's fault! I do know someone who had ivf for her first and when she was 10 months old she found out she was pregnant naturally! It just kickstarted everything - now they are a lovely lucky family of four...!

I'm sorry kerry - it is so hard to feel rubbish and then feel worse because you feel guilty about feeling rubbish - but it's the initial news that's the hardest and then you can cope better I find with all the updates etc...

winks, yeah, ask away...

Thx ads, I swing between hope and dispair. My mind is fucked up!!

Res - did you do the short or long protocol?

Twinkle, I have a story similar to ads, the difference being my pal made her husband get the snip after she got pregnant naturally after ivf

I'll keep my fingers crossed that it works for you and have a hug just cause you have to go through it at all. It must be really sucky (understatement!)

Thanks Disney that's really kind :)

Short cause I'm an old hag! Was on 450 Menopur from CD2 to CD13.

The reason I ask is because the doc asked me what I prefer and I said short but I only said that because I didn't want to take all the drugs but of course I would do it if it got me what I wanted.

I'm waiting for him to call me back because I want them to advise me what is right for my situation, not my preference. Does that make sense? OH thinks I'm being neurotic but it's this is too important to not do it properly or without thought.

Hmm, does seem a bit odd that he asked you to choose. They suggest the short for older patients or those who haven't responded well to the long in the past but I don't know the scientific basis for this reasoning.

Did you get advice?

Hi guys.... Been stalking this feed for a while and you seem all seem really nice! Please may I join? I've been trying for a year. I had a miscarriage at 8 weeks in February but haven't had any success since then. Finding it a bit tough to be honest. Kerry i noticed your comments about your brother and it struck such a cord with me. In the last month four of my best friends have announced they are pregnant 'without even trying' and it's been a real kick to the stomach. We've just finished trying the SMEP but stumbled one of the nights so not that hopeful. Two week wait begins.

Ps Thingy that's amazing news on the bfp... Saw you on the SMEP thread! Incredible! Is it the first time you did and did you follow it to the wire?

Welcome flohs!!!My only hope is that you won't be here long:)what is SMEP?

I goggled SMEP...don't think OPK will work for me due to the PCOS...they are so pricey anyway!!!We dtd every other day after AF has ended then ovulation week(based on ovulation calendar and CM)we dtd everyday.We just started drinking grapefruit juice taking Mucinex this month...If this month is a bust(I think I ovulated from the side with no tube again)we go back to RE for SA and other options....

Wow kerry - that's a lot of dtd! I've got everything crossed for you. Personally I'm not sure about OPK or SMEP.... Found it pretty stressful and my OPK's are still showing positive. Have no idea what that means! Grapefruit Juice and Mucinex - that sounds good - have you noticed a difference? What exactly are they for? When are you testing Kerry?
