Tough evening tonight, out for family meal, watching my parents interacting with my nephew and neice (DHs side) just really made me wish I could give them their first grandchild Sad

morning all. just checking in. cd21 here! tick tock.

hope you have a good holiday despite af kitty
long weekend ahoy, yippee! I'm out tonight for yummy food and wine, hope you all have a good weekend

GooseyD · 03/05/2013 07:26

Mornin Puppy I've jumped on this thread recently - nice to 'meet' you.

Just been thinking about Kitty since I logged off last night and hoping your pino splurge stopped being anger inducing and started to lull you into a holiday mood. But I've been there before, not always a good way to great Aunt Flo! Hope you have a really good holiday, can really put things out of your mind for a couple of weeks, and probably that there isn't wifi there!

Frogcatcher · 03/05/2013 07:28

Morning all. I pimped this morning as I'm a sucker for punishment an eternal optimist & I may have a very VERY faint line... I don't think it would come out on a photo but I've compared it to some OPKs I kept & I think there is something there.

I'm not confident enough that its not a figment of my imagination yet so haven't told DP. I got upset by a text from a friend last night telling me she was pg (& probably been TTC about same time as they got married end Sept) & he called me obsessed.

Tallyra · 03/05/2013 07:30

Oh frog, fingers crossed for you... Don't get too obsessed, it might be a few days before you get a better result. Hugs!!!

Tallyra · 03/05/2013 07:31

And bunny, I completely sympathise. I've been married longer than anyone else but I have my suspicions that cousin no 2 is going to announce soon.

CatsCantFlyFast · 03/05/2013 07:49

Frog, so so excited. Welcome to the real craziness where you now stare at that stick every 2 mins in different light and pee on every other stick in sight at every opportunity. Fingers and legs crossed for you

Thundercatsarego · 03/05/2013 07:51

Oooo frog sounds good...!

GooseyD · 03/05/2013 07:51

Frog I'm crossing fingers for you too! Hope you can distract yourself over bank holiday - have you got plans?

Happylass I never really replied to your reply about weddings! I know I announced in my first post that I was engaged(!) but I actually couldn't think about it right then, as was a) feeling totally shattered by consultant's appointment that exploded my carefully constructed self deception that I would eventually conceive naturally and b) me and DF were arguing about DTD (god isn't it meant to be enjoyable??) Anyway, having recovered my balance somewhat (quite a lot due to seeing other berries welcome the idea of Clomid and mention successes) I'm now starting to enjoy the idea of wedding coming up! I am rooting for you to get one of the next BFPs so that amongst other things you know whether you're looking for a tent or a wedding dress Smile for next August. What is your situation, have you had tests etc?

happylass · 03/05/2013 08:30

Arrgh just typed a really long post then and lost it all. Stupid bloody iPad!!
In brief, sounds promising Frog, fingers crossed!
Welcome back Merk. Great to see you .
Hey Goose on cycle 9. Had basic progesterone test and DP had jizz test. All good there on both counts. Going back if no luck this cycle!
Gotta shoot, am running late! Have a great day Berries!

MrsB00Mbastic · 03/05/2013 09:11

Morning berries! Isn't it a beautiful day? I'm all excited about my anniversary picnic, and it's sunny so I'm going to move it to outside :-) Squeeeee!

Frog oh I hope you're right! Don't go too cross-eyed squinting at lines, hope you get a definite yes over the next couple of days or just don't drink anything all morning in the hope of tricking body into producing more fmu-standard wee

Right, off to have a quick yomp with the dog and appreciate the fact that I'm awake during daytime hours again!

Ooh frog fingers crossed, (but not legs or my dirty weekend would be rubbish lol)

Day off today, time for a few days away Grin

happylass · 03/05/2013 09:30

Just found out that the lovely sympathetic GP who I saw about the lack of BFP in January and who said to come back in May and she would refer me early has left the practice. Humph!!!

Hello all on this lovely sunny day! How are you all?

frog ooh keeping fx for you for a darker line over the next few days.

bunny enjoy your day off.

thunder brilliant that your levels have come down so much. Did you say you've got a phone call with your doc today?

In my world my DH is hopefully ringing up for his results from his sample today. I'm v nervous. I'm meant to be going for blood tests next week but I haven't ovulated yet and now worried that its not going to happen this cycle and my body is well and truly screwed up!

I went to a learn to crochet course on wed to try and escape from the stress of ttc and the only other lady to show up was pregnant. FFS!!!!!!

yorkiebilb · 03/05/2013 10:29

happy that's rubbish. Can you not just book an appt with another doc and tell them that your prev doc said she would refer you? Hopefully then they won't go back on what she said.

happylass · 03/05/2013 11:02

I'm gonna give it a go Yorkie!! AF due next week and virtually no hope for this cycle but gonna leave it til then to start my campaign make an appointment.

MrsB00Mbastic · 03/05/2013 11:12

Oh yorkie that is definitely the law of Sod! Hope you were better at crocheting than her Grin. Fingers crossed that his swimmers are ok!

Happy that's pants. Hopefully there'll be some notes on their system saying that was the intention? I say pick a male GP. My theory is that they understand nothing about ttc and refer earlier to get us out of their hair and avoid awkward conversations (sadly, mine is a strict lady GP booo).

Currently battling a severe Reese's Peanut Butter Cups addiction. They're on 3 for 2 at the shop, I'm a-gunna get FAT.

yorkiebilb · 03/05/2013 11:13

Ha happy that's what I did when I joined my surgery. I looked to see who looked the nicest! I also picked one who had an interest in gynaecology in their profile so give that a try. Also, would it be worth ringing reception and asking if they know which GP would be best to talk to about fertility issues. In my case she the lady on reception wasn't sure but she did say she was referring me to someone that was v sympathetic.

Frogcatcher · 03/05/2013 11:21

Thanks for all the fx guys! I'll catch up properly now I'm on a computer & not daring to hope whilst typing on my phone.

Enjoy the holiday kitty. Jealous of warmth & sunshine.

Merk!!! Welcome back - we've missed you & your pimping. I've resisted the urge to bring either the sticks or my pot with me to work so I won't be trying again till i get home. I did however have to go & have one last squint before I left the house today though!

bunny woman in question is not suspected but actually pg. only 6 wks but told me as i'm her appraiser & we were chatting about career plans etc. Enjoy your shagfest weekend!

goosey no major plans unfortunately & DP is working Sat & Sun. I'll play golf tmrw but will be mostly pimping & squinting at sticks doing housey stuff on Sun.

FX for yorkie & test results. Pg people are everywhere right now. This week I've had two newborn facebook pics, 1 text announcing, 2 mails at work announcing births & my best friend was due on Sun so had long chat with her about impending baby being overdue.

bugger happy. If the faint line never existed disappears & AF arrives next week then I'm booking my first docs appt armed with the NICE guidelines that 6m of trying is quite enough at the age of 36 thanks v much!

Tallyra · 03/05/2013 11:21

yep happy, just call them up and tell them - they probably have no idea what she said or not, so just blag it!

Frogcatcher · 03/05/2013 11:32

Oh & btw I wouldn't have tested this morning (only 11DPO) except that I had a massive temp rise (0.3 degrees C) to the highest temp I've ever had which I thought might indicate the mythical triphasic phase. It may be or alternatively it may be that I temped about 30 min later than normal & after only about 2 hours uninterrupted sleep as SS woke up at 4am & had to get up with him until he went back to sleep.

Oh & I had a slight dip at 7DPO but not below the coverline.

yorkiebilb · 03/05/2013 11:40

sounds very promising frogSmile

Thundercatsarego · 03/05/2013 11:56

Hi all,

I can post properly now too.

Hi merk and yorkie, good to see you both!

Yorkie yes I have a phone appt this afternoon and am hoping she will increase my meds a bit to get my levels a bit lower. Have also decided to be encouraged that I am now pretty much within the 'normal' range (depending on who you ask), so that's got to be a good thing.

bunny sorry you were feeling Sad about your parents. Your time will come though. I had a phase of feeling pissed off that I'm not giving with my parents or my in laws their FIRST grandchild at one point. But then I decided to lunch myself in the face for being ridiculous.

yorkie that is so annoying about the pg woman! How did the crochet go though?

happy definitely find a doc that looks sympathetic and tell them that it's already all been agreed. No arguments.

I got a smiley opk today so DH better prepare for some action tonight and in the morning if we can manage it! Even though I know theres no hope this month I still need to try to keep myself sane.....
