okay I hope I'm not treading on anyone's toes but as the proud owner of a July AF I'm posting early. Any seconders for a BFP filled August are very welcome.

Is my bday in August so fingers crossed. And by my calculations my ov this month should tie in with dh's 30th birthday.

so paws crossed

wannaBe1974 · 31/07/2006 20:42

hiya all

Well it looks as if I'm going to be leaving this thread. for those who haven't seen my other post, dh had his results, sperm count very low, about 20% of what it should be, and low motility as well. gp wasn't helpful at all. just said don't drink smoke and wear loose clothing, and of all hhings ... only have sex on the day of ovulation and then not again until the next month. hmmm never did like that gp, he chews gum and talks like harold shipman! lol. Anyway no referral, dh has to do another test in three months.

But I guess I've finally had confirmed what I've been thinking for a while - I'm not going to have another baby. After sixteen months it's going to feel strange, no counting days, no looking for simptoms. But I know there's really no point in hoping - there isn't going to be a bfp for me.

But I do have one gorgious little boy, I have that to be thankful for. things happen for a reason, and although it's very sad and I feel very sad it obviously just isn't meant to be.

I wish all of you the best for ttc, I'll check in and see how you're all doing, esp trace and pussycat (((hugs)))

tc all and baby dust to all xx

desperate2bmum · 31/07/2006 20:59

wannabe im so so sorry. i really dont know what to say to you but just wanted to post.
its brought tears to my eyes reading what you have put but please dont give up yet...you never know when all is lost you might just get a bfp (i dont wanna give you false hope)
just take joy and comfort in your son and i wish you all the best for the future. x

muminamini · 31/07/2006 21:43

Wannabe - sending you a huge hug. I know there is nothing I can say other than I am thinking of you.

Hi to everyone - just taken me over an hour to catch up as been away over the weekend.
Congrats to the BFP's and welcome to all the new ladies.

So confused ....thought I had ewcm and ov'd last week but I have ewcm today...and lots of it (day 17?!) so maybe it's today - so confused!!! Never watched out for it before but I would say the stuff I had today is deffo it as it's clear (last weeks was stretchy but white - sorry for the TMI again....)

I hope I am right cos didn't really get much BD'ing done last week...off to jump on DH.

Love to all

Nicki10 · 01/08/2006 07:17

Hi everyone

I am still around Beccy, I haven't moved over to due in April yet as I want to wait until my 6 week check next thursday.

Congrats Bubblez I knew you were you had all the same symptoms as me. I have this cramping pain as well and the doctor said it's just a waiting game! (Never very useful) but she said if you not bleeding then not to worry to much just don't do strenuoues tasks and no lifting. I also started a PG thread about it and loads of mums said it was normal. Hope this helps

I have been away been away this weekend to tell my parents, was very nervous and when I told them they were over the moon so of course I burst straight into tears!

Natty great news about the appointment and clomid, I will be looking out for you on the Sept thread.

Wrighty I hope everything is alright I know what a worrying time this is.

How is everyone else doing with the BDing now that it's cooled down? I hope to see lots more BFP's soon

WantAbabyNOW · 01/08/2006 09:13

Hi Wannabe,

sorry about your news. Maybe just not the right time? I think you should find another gp if you dont like the one you have. Surely there must be something you can do? Have you tried fertility plus for men? I hink you can get it over the internet?

WantAbabyNOW · 01/08/2006 09:15

Natty, Great that your appt went well. Frustrating when you walk out and you feel like you waited all that time! I have 6 weeks to wait till next appt and cant have dh sperm results until then...

I am impatient

MrsMcJnr · 01/08/2006 09:35

Morning ladies, hope you are all doing well.

Natty ? Glad to hear that your appointment went well. You must feel much better now you have a decisive course of action to follow, should help you relax a bit and who knows what might happen then . Looks like I might have to join you on the Positive September thread, according to my chart, I should be fertile at the moment but DH is too tired to BD after resuming football after 6 months break plus I need waxing done (sorry TMI!) !!

Coggy & Trace2, can I join your gang? I am CD17. Sending you both lots of good vibes. I have not ov yet though. Temps were 35.9c 4 days in a row, then 35.7c and today 35.8c so we?ll see. I?ve been using the free trial on the www.tcoyf.com website. It is great as it reminds you what your symptoms mean and your fertile days etc. The pregnancy predicator is really fascinating!

Wannabe ? I really, really feel for you and so wish your GP could have been more helpful. Never say never though. Big hugs.

coggy · 01/08/2006 10:09

Yes do join us MrsMc...I am CD17 today and the sticks say that I am due to ov (bought non-digi by mistake but no denying the blue lines!!).

Sooooo glad it's cooler - nighmare trying to do anything in that heat!!

Never mind the waxing - do it in the dark and don't let him stroke your foresty legs!!!!!

Okay today Trace? Managed any BDing?

jomax · 01/08/2006 10:27

desparate - yes! I do want to be a testing buddy with you. I have never had a buddy before so this is all very exciting and I hope it helps in keeping me from testing early. I am CD 25/26 today. How long do we have to wait to test! I OV on CD 17?

There is one twist. I go on holiday tomorrow to Wyoming but I will have internet access for a couple of days. When do we test?

Wannabe - I was so sad to read your email. I would DEFINITELY get a second opinion and see a fertiality specialist GP (they have some specialised ones in London for example). You have to be pushy and agressive about it. If that fails, I would push to see a private doctor if you can as there are definitely things to be done for low sperm count.

Sexonlegs · 01/08/2006 11:35

Morning all. Wannabe, I was so sorry to read your post. Thinking of you, and hoping that a second opinion may shed more light. As people have said, there must be a way, as HopeCat/Booboo was in the same situation.

Mrs McJnr, pmsl at your note re waxing required. I am not sure you were referring to your legs though were you, which was what Coggy thought!!

CD11 today, and thought about bd'ing tonight, only to find that I am bleeding a bit - sorry TMI. I have no idea why - cannot be implantation as have not bd'd since the end of af. Really pissed off. I have been quite stressed recently so may be down to that.
Also, drank grapefruit juice yesterday, and made my tummy funny last night - too acidic I think.
So, all in all, not very positve really!!
Hey ho, onwards and upwards. Love to all.

MrsMcJnr · 01/08/2006 11:47

Hey ladies, it is a good thing that our men don't read these posts and see what a calculating bunch we are! I know a lot of you have very involved other halves who get right into it all, mine ran for the hills at seeing my book never mind the chart!!

We have a deal he'll pay me attention this evening (hair and all, he, he) and I'll watch a couple of episodes of 24 with him - hardly erotic!

SOL - you got the idea!

Coggy - sounds good, best of luck!

WantAbabyNOW · 01/08/2006 12:01

How hot is it there? It gets past 40 degrees c in summer here. Tonight it is supposed to be minus 1 though!

Sexonlegs · 01/08/2006 12:18

MrsMcJnr, what a romantic evening indeed! Bit like ours at the mo- sitting in front of the TV with parents!
Coggy, get bd'ing - or are you as we speak.....!

peachygirl · 01/08/2006 12:32

Wannabe I'm so sorry.. I don't really know what to say.....
I'll send you a big hug
(((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))
