TTC 10 Months Plus, Supporting Eachother & Staying Positive :) new thread!!

[m33r]

Hopefully we'll see more BFPs on this one!

blue I was told no unprotected sex for the whole month

After all the panic on Saturday morning I'm still waiting on af! Feel like it might come any moment and I'm on crotch watch! At this rate I'll be cancelling bloods on Wed for being too early not too late! The only appointment they had was 11am! Have to take the whole morning off work for a 5 minute slot. Really frustrating.... Feels kinda crap just having to go to work for the pm. All the best stuff at work happens in the mornings lol!

Just had my third lot of day 21 bloods taken due to my unpredictability vic so know where you're at!

Dh has final sa on Wednesday and then we should finally get our referral from the gp. It does seem to have taken forever but fingers crossed the referral will go in at the beginning of August for us. I've been advised there's about a year wait if ivf is required which I suspect it is.

But given its looking likely there may be'problems' with both of us I'll just be pleased to be given a chance.

Hope everyone has been enjoying the glorious weather (between the thunder storms).
As always trying to make the most of it and all the things I couldn't do if I was upduffed or had a child in tow.

glad you are on the way to referral may. sucks that there is a year waiting list but at least you have a timeframe to focus on now rather than the never endingness!

Vic any news on the witch yet?

CDe

Oooops, cd30 and nothing yet. Bit of brown yesterday for one wipe, and today (tmi!). not a lot on the way of cramps or anything. Mild uterus heaviness. Am in an evil foul mood with everyone and everything! If today is not day 1 will have to cancel bloods tomorrow! Called yesterday to see if I could come Thursday instead and nothing available until next Monday which is too late! Am still hopeful it will be later today though.... I really don't want to wait another month! It must be stress delay as I ovd cd15 so should be yesterday or today.

Hope everyone's ok x

Update! Just started at 2.30pm! I can still have bloods tomorrow woop!

Yippee vic! Is amazing what we get excited about isn't it!?

as odd as it is to celebrate AF vic woohoo! glad she showed up! some good luck for you at last!

Woo-hoo Victoria!

I'm currently in the depths of pain with the mother of all afs after not having one for 7 months my body isn't taking it too well!

Yay Vicky glad AF turned out when its supposed to lol.

Had my HSG today it bloody hurt but im all clear everythings clear no lumps or bumps and she said my left ovary looks like it might be just about ready to ovulate!

Got some opks so gonna see what happens and the doc (a she for once thank god) said to get right on with the dtd!! Theres no risk!

Still a bit crampy now and it made me bleed a bit but im all okay!

That's great news blueberry, maybe you'll catch that egg that's just about to pop!

Sorry AF is bad laura, I get it quite bad as well sometimes, have even had to phone in sick on the odd occasion. Hope you feel better soon.

Hope your bloods were all ok today vic and you're another step further along the road.

I've felt lousy all day, like I'm coming down with a cold or something. This was not helped by the fact that I'm currently 7dpo and the waiting is starting to get to me again, as always. Just hope I'll feel better tomorrow as promised I'd take DD swimming if she's good.

Yay blueberry! So glad it looks like you're about to ov! What CD are you? Hope you catch the egg now you know there will be one!

Sorry you're in pain Laura. I get them bad too, though not this month weirdly... Plus only have tiny bit of blood. Hmmmm

Hope you feel better soon metal

Darn it, 4th month running I've had a tampons worth then a day of nothing! Does this mean I was day 2 for the bloods or not?! I've not the classed the other times as day 1. I bet tomorrow will be full blown complete with pain. Pain free today and yesterday. Darn darn darn!

Yay Blue great re your hsg and get cracking hey?!

Have had day off work today as so much pain and heavy flow :( still weirdly pleased it came at all though just hoping its not a long af and my cycle kick starts to some kind of regularity....

Victoria how annoying our bods are fighting against us grrrr!

Fx Metal and hope you feel better!

hi all. sorry your suffering lau

blue that's excellent. get shagging! hope the pains stopped for you.

Vic first day of "full flow" is considered cd1 so I'd guess you'd be OK. try not to stress about it. when are you due to get results, and have u arranged for Dr 1 to call you personally when the results arrive? least they can do after all the cock ups! I think if I were in your shoes I'd speak to Dr 1 and explain about AF and ask if he can do repeat test on what could otherwise be CD2/3/4 to be on safe side. might be worth asking in case he can buck the system and get you in. again its the least they can do. oh and my favourite line for these sort of phone calls "that's not good enough, what do you propose to do about it?" can I just phone for you, I like a good barney on the phone!

lil no I've not got full flow. There was a bit of red yesterday, hardly anything overnight. Bit of brown today. Not even wearing any sanitary wear tonight. You know what, I don't care what day it is or what the results are. I'm going to a fertility clinic. All they needed was a blood test within 3 months stapled to our form. That's what they've got. So there.

Oh and about the results.... I was advised to keep chasing them up. So I have to waste my time trying to get through to the docs in my teabreaks!

haha they are seriously shit! I like your plan better! fuck it!

Argh! Had an awful dream last night! I dreamt I was having the embryo transplant bit of ivf and the doc was putting up this red grabby bug type thing with forceps! And then he just left leaving me to route through the cupboard in the theatre for things I thought I might need. Then dh thought I was going back to work instead of going home to rest and drove away leaving me to trudge into work in scrubs and phone him to beg to come and get me again!

Can feel af starting proper now, got cramps. Who thinks I should call doc 1 for a 2nd opinion on whether I got the right day?!

ooh not nice! I hate horrid dreams. especially horrid baby dreams.

I think you are right Vic they wanted a test, they got one. if its the wrong day its going to be a weird result, supporting your referral. you can discuss that with the fertility clinic when u get there and if they want it repeated they will do it far more efficiently. if its the right day its all good. fwiw I think if u had a tampons worth you can count it as cd1. the drop in progesterone causes AF so it must have dropped enough to cause Tuesdays bleed. again wait and speak to clinic about why it could be happening like this....your drs don't exactly sound like they have any idea!

I agree with Lil vic. They have a result and the worst that will happen is that it has an odd result. The specialists will be able to piece it all together and repeat anything they are worried about.

Hi all. Thought I would post on here. I am 33, currently ttc #3 although will be my ohs first. We had a mc last march and have been ttc since with no success. I was diagnosed with vit d deficiency in may so am hoping that now my levels are on the up it might help. Its so hard at the moment, been about 10 preg announcements in the last few weeks and I know some of the couples have only been ttc for 3 months max and it feels soo unfair! Feeling quite sorry for myself atm!

Right, checked my own results at work (tut tut) and my hormones are between the normal reference ranges for follicular phase so I guess it was ok. No idea how long the docs take to get the results from when they appear on my screen same day! I will phone docs tomorrow as the post should have been by then.

Welcome to the group ncsmummy :-)

Hi! Can I join ? Not sure if I already wrote in here a few months ago .Long story short have now been trying for #3 for 9 cycles but over all have had lots of fertility problems and tried for years for #2 while having 10 miscarriages and chemicals and ended up having dd through gestational surrogacy in the US . Had ds (#1 dc) with no problems . Now trying naturally again with no success so far . Have had at least 2 suspected chemicals and last month had 2 faint positives then bleeding. Am on 7 dpo now and just had some spotting this morning which I never have in normal cycles when not trying or with any of my failed pregnancies or with ds so it makes me wonder. Also boobs hurting on and off but not hugely yet and nauseous ( but have an illness that causes that sometimes anyway ). Lower back pain and mild to moderate cramping from yesterday too . Blood was a bit brown part red . Haven't had any more since then . This is really messing up my mind now and am on a holiday until mon . Have a few tests which I'll use on sun and mon I guess . Anything working out naturally for me anymore feels like a very long shot but I feel like I need to do this first before Ivf or surrogacy again .
