I seem to remember there was a year thread when I first joined for 2013 but that didn't go my way. I can't see a 2014 one but I am determined to get my BFP in 2014 and hoping positive mental attitude will help.

Thought if see if anyone wants to join with 2014 goal to get upduffed rather than a monthly bus - some of us just need a longer term strategy!

Fingers crossed jessewalt!

Flofly1 · 27/01/2014 09:54

Fingers crossed Jesse.

And big welcome DogandBeth. I'm sorry you are here and so sorry about your miscarriages. We are all at different stages in this TTC malarchy.....

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed tightly for you this week.

My AF also due this week but since finding out about DH's low motility I've given up hoping for a bfp. We did get pregnant a year ago (mc at 8 weeks) but nothing since then.

We are on the IVF path at the mo but will take a few months.

AF arrived. Gutted. Oh well, onto cycle 9 and going to the GP to get a few tests started. Long chat with husband yesterday, feel much much better.

WheresMrMonkey · 28/01/2014 08:20

So sorry Jesse such a horrible feeling. But glad you had a good chat, fingers crossed for next month

Just got my Serum Progesterone test (Day 21) report and it says.... Progesterone ---> 11.9 ng/mL. As I have not yet got the Dr's appointment, does any one have the idea what it means?
Are the hormone levels normal or what?

DogandBeth · 28/01/2014 14:03

Thanks flofly I'll keep it crossed for you this week too.
I cracked today and did a test was a bfn boo :( af not due til tomorrow so I guess its not over til its over...

Hi folks, just wanted to give a little update re the 47 sperm - DH had SA again (approx 2 months post 47 result and 1 month post conception) and apparently now he has 3 million swimmers!! So that would make it all a bit more probable...

So I suppose the good news story is that there is hope for men with azoospermia - from nil to 3 mil in 10 months is pretty good going! And hgc for men can work! I read lots of sceptical things about it, because they're not sure why it works, but clearly it can!

I hope all you ladies gets your BFPs really soon - I am now feeling the joys of painful boobs, exhausted and nauseous...

SnowBells · 29/01/2014 12:57

I'm on the February bus, but might as well hop onto this one, too. Been TTC seriously for 3 months (timing), but haven't used protection in 18 months.

Have had Day 2 and Day 21 tests done, but since my last cycle when Day 21 test was done was ridiculously long (9 days), I think the test would not have been successful. Have an appointment with GP on Monday to find out.

Also using the CB Fertility Monitor this cycle. I've had a 'high' for almost 10 days... not the long-awaited peak though.

JennyOfOldstones · 29/01/2014 12:58

wow LEtranger, thanks for keeping us updated! What treatment did he have? I have never heard of treatment for low sperm count but great to know it is possible.

Welcome dogandbeth, love your user name, me and DP used to watch a lot of Dog back in the day....good luck to you.

DogandBeth · 31/01/2014 14:08

Thanks for that jenny. Glad you like my username, always nice to meet a fellow dog fan :-)
I'm 2 days late today but did another test yesterday and it was a bfn, boo! Feels like af is on her way so I think she's just messing with me.
Flofly, any news? Have got it crossed for you, and anyone else who's testing this week!

Hi everyone, thought I'd do a quick update - had my hycosy this week and tubes are clear Grin but now got to wait 6 weeks for appointment to discuss next steps, and try in the meantime to get dh sa results coz it's driving me mad knowing they're there and we can't have them! :/

DogandBeth · 01/02/2014 20:10

Hi Gwen good news about the tubes. Know what you mean about the frustration of waiting for results, ds has had some pretty major tests recently and I know at least one set of results has come back to the paediatrician, but we've still got the best part of four weeks to wait before his next appointment.

I did 2 tests today, both had a very very faint suggestion of a line.
But, the lines were so faint, you could only see them with a lot of light. I don't feel pregnant ( which i did from early on with both successful pregnancies )and instead I feel like I did in march of last year, when I only made it to six weeks.
So I'm 99% certain that it's just a matter of time before I mc again.
Will try testing tomorrow morning with fmu so fingers crossed the line might have got a bit stronger by then.

JennyOfOldstones · 02/02/2014 17:01

DogandBeth did you retest? Good luck!

DogandBeth · 02/02/2014 19:17

Hi jenny yes I did re test this morning with fmu and the line was a little bit stronger but still very very faint. Will test again tomorrow morning first thing I guess although am tempted to test again this Eve. Still doesn't feel right though so reallm really trying not to get my hopes up!

JennyOfOldstones · 02/02/2014 20:40

Awww I hope this is it for you DandB keep us posted. Lots of luck. Try not to second guess yourself I know it must be hard.

DogandBeth · 02/02/2014 21:01

thanks jenny. I appreciate it. Nobody in rl knows we've been trying so I don't have anyone I can talk to, so it means a lot to post here . Think I will wait till tomorrow to test now as have left the tests in the room ds is currently asleep in and don't want to risk waking him up! I'm keeping it all crossed x

gwenabee85 · 02/02/2014 21:15

Exciting! Good luck beth!

DogandBeth · 02/02/2014 21:25

Thanks Gwen x

DogandBeth · 03/02/2014 16:51

Things have taken a positive turn, did a clearblue test today and it said 'pregnant 1-2 weeks' which is just about possible as it's only just 2 weeks now since I ovulatied. Also had a funny turn at a friends house and was then sick in the car on the way home. Don't want to get too carried away but hoping it's a good sign. Ended up confessing to friend about it and about mcs last year so at least someone go rl knows now. Sorry for the long and multiple posts and thanks for all the nice replies I've had x

gwenabee85 · 04/02/2014 13:28

Yay, congratulations! :)

DogandBeth · 04/02/2014 14:44

Just did another test today and got the result of 'not pregnant' so I guess it's just a matter of waiting for the mc to start now. Teach me to think that something might go right for once! :(

JennyOfOldstones · 04/02/2014 15:46

Oh no Beth, I hope its not what you think it is. Maybe try another test? It is so early still, maybe you just had a lot of water and it diluted the hormones? Hoping for good news, what a horrible worrying time for you x

cottonwool4brains · 04/02/2014 16:05

I have been staring at an imaginary line on an ic all day. Done a frer and.... There is another line! I am shitting it now. The last 2 times this has happened it ended in a chemical.

DogandBeth · 04/02/2014 17:12

thanks jenny. Maybe I'll try another test in the morning, if I make it that far. :(
Good luck cotton- sounds promising. Hopefully this will be your time.
