All that she wants is A baby! The Berries searching for the 'sign' but never symptom spotting (honest), possibly using a vagina jack and trying to get a FUFC before boarding the IVF train (thread 18)

[Bunnygirlie]

The smallprint –
Berries have a strict entrance criteria (TTC #1, over 30, TTC for 12+months, NO instadiffers, must have a special pot and def no mention of baby dust or baby dancing UGH !!! Ooooh aren’t we strict!

Great news bunny! Congratulations!

Hope everyone else is well. I'm convinced I'm ovulating but oh is overseas. Had a proper fertility-related wobble yesterday but feeling more positive today.

Lovely news bunny!

sid I am impressed with your restraint. I would have cracked and poas by now!

feather sorry about the bad timing for ovulation. We had the same issue this cycle so don't think we really dtd enough at the right time. Did you choose a wedding dress yet btw?

because here's hoping the strange smells are sign!

So many people on or about to board the IVF train! This should be a thread that brings results!! Love the ace of base reference, have been unable to get 'all that she wants' out of my head all day!

Nothing much going on here, 6 dpo and just plodding through 2ww. Busy with baby related stuff this week - a baby shower for a friend on Sunday, children's birthday party on Saturday and free time spent making cupcakes and finishing off a baby patchwork quilt and cushion. Have bought extra material in the hope that the next things I will be making will be for my baby!

HB Co Enzyme Q10 is an antioxidant and is thought to increase egg quality, which is useful if you have low ovarian reserve. Article here

tiger no dress yet! Freaking out a bit now.
The last time we dtd was five days ago just before he left, so I think we will have missed the window. I think the important thing to remember in all this ttc stuff is that it only takes ONE single sperm to make it happen. And consider that men make 1000 sperm every second (yes, really) and we have that one egg a month. Anyway, I'm just twittering on now. I guess what I'm trying to say is, who knows!

Also, I think you're rather amazing to be doing all that baby stuff without going mental. You are a bigger woman than me. doffs cap

Just dropping in to say yay to babybunny!!! Fab stuff!

5dpo here and nothing to report. Will pop back in tomorrow to catch up on new thread and vagina jacks asap! Pooped after full day of interviewing so off to bed!

Also just popping in today congrats to Bunny, wonderful news!!!

funky I'm 4dpo - we can 2ww together! I am on jury service this week which is proving the perfect distraction!

Will catch up properly later, on silly phone atm. Hope everyone is well!

Thunder, yes that really helps, thank you! I'm in exactly the same boat - going to a private endocrinologist hoping to get TSH

AF is in the building as expected. Not too upset though as for the next few months I can console myself with the fact that I get to wear my lovely wedding dress/drink on my hen/enjoy my honeymoon. Obviously not as good as a BFP but a pretty decent booby prize! Adding myself to the list...

Feather, 35, ttc since sep 2012. pcos and one tube, 6 x clomid, 1bfp, ectopic Nov 13. Waiting for cycle to regulate and having acupuncture.
barkingtreefrog 34, ttc since Jan '12, clomid bfp ended in mc Sept '13. Cycles absent or screwed since then (short LP anyway before that). FC appointment to talk IVF referral in March.
bluebirdy 30, TTC 2.5 years in all, starting IVF (ICSI) in May/June, deludingly hoping for a FUFC before then!
Happylass 35 until Friday cycle 15, awaiting next appointment at FC to hopefully formulate some type of action plan.

Bloody hell berries had 2 letters from the FC today. One to say that my AMH is 6.2 and 'lower end of normal' and another to say that DPs SA showed that the volume and motility are fine but there may be a problem with it 'clumping and sticking'. Are we buggered???

Hello hello, is this mic on? Where has everyone gone?

Have I killed the thread with my negative news?!? Quick get Boodle to do a strip, that'll get them flocking back

Do All That She Wants on the karaoke! That'll get everyone back in here (to tell you to shut the f* up...)

Patiently waiting for AF over here. I wasn't sure if FF got my ov date right this month but, assuming it did, I'm 9 dpo and without spotting, which is good and maybe thanks to the op or the acu...I don't know which. However, if my temp dip was dodgy, then I'm only 7dpo and therefore expect spotting from tomorrow. I suspect the latter...

I don't think it was your worrisome letter that did it happy; maybe everyone is out sandbagging their houses?

Happy, just reading your worries about your results; I'm was bummed about the low amh at first but the only impact it's had is to skip iui and go straight to IVF.

Arrrrgh my eyes!

What was your AMH Boodle? Don't really understand it all tbh. If I'm OVing what's the problem?
Am more concerned about the clumpy sperm. Am guessing if it's clumping it ain't swimming!

My poor boob is offended now...

My AMH was 11.6, but that was taken at the age of 30, so not very good at all. My acu lady told me off for stressing though and said it wouldn't be a problem at all.

Would you like to hear something kind of encouraging? possibly even a little shocking?

Happy can you ring and ask what it means??

Right gulp.

Today I was at home waiting for the cavity wall insulation man - it doesn't get more exciting - who came and said we couldn't have CWI cos of the age of our house......so feeling bummed and like I'd wasted an afternoon, I thought I'd ring the GP on the off chance she had an appt left for today.... She did....and I'm now on a referral to the fertility clinic

I seriously thought I'd have to argue for ages but she said we had been trying long enough.

Bad news, though, is they only do x 1 ivf cycle here on the NHS. She said IUI or ICSI (which I don't know much about yet) might be options first, but they needed to do tests first. So I have blood tests next week and DH needs to take 2 buckets o jizz sperm samples to the hospital. He's going to love that

This is so weird. I know I'm not, but I suddenly feel like I'm looking at the end of my fertility options. It was so weird seeing her go through the "infertility protocol" screens on her computer....

DH away tonight and I don't really know how I feel about it all

Sid WHAT??

RP I get that feeling every time we go to the FC. It's like 'this isn't the way it's meant to be' and 'how the hell did this happen?' but I keep telling myself it's the destination not the journey that counts. When we all get our babies we won't give two hoots about how we did it!
I have to wait til our next appointment to discuss anything. No idea when that is but apparently we are being sent for soon.....
Yes Sid always up for hearing something shocking!

Sid cramps are a good sign... Its the embie burrowing into your lining and it will feel just like AF cramps, try not to worry
Congrats (again). Seat ready for you in the chopper when you dare you're ready

Omg Sid!!! I can't believe you've kept this quiet all day! This is amazing news! I can see you are being cautious but I'm delighted and I literally have every last digit crossed for you!!
