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

[m33r]

Hopefully we'll see more BFPs on this one!

Well AF two days late and bfn on cheapies today no symptoms of af at all which is odd! I finally thought my periods were regular, how wrong I was!!

Hi all

Had a joint appointment with gp this morning to finally get tests started. Was so nervous, especially after turning into am emotional wreck last time I talked about it to a doctor.

But this one was great. Very sympathetic (guess he'd read the notes about my last visit! ) and also very knowledgeable! Was able to put my mind at rest about my an-ov cycles and took seriously my concerns about short luteal.

Accepted what I told him about my cycles and so blood tests are booked for mid luteal which will be 5dpo first month and also referral in for ultrasound etc.

Dh bless him got 'felt up' as gp was concerned by his history of varicose veins down there but all seems well and so he has his pot and just needs to phone the lab for a day and time.

It was so good to be listened to and believed and so not what I was expecting based on most stories on mn. Feel so relieved that things will start happening now and knowing I have a gp who is going to be supportive and knowledgeable.

Into cycle 24 but feeling more relaxed than I have for months, even more so because for the first time a doctor also took seriously the research we've done on preventative measures for cleft lip and palate which my dh had.

All in all a good day and I just hope all the 'just relax and it will happen' annoying people will be proved right for me!

Hope everyone else can also focus on something positive this weekend. Sorry for all this got by af this week. Wallow as is your right and then ficus on next month.

Evening ladies

Not much happening here just glad to have a day off tomorrow.

Hope you have an amazing holiday Vicky

Sorry to those AF got cake an alcohol will make you feel better!

Hibou how annoying

May that doctor sounds nice.

Kinda scared for my appointment Thursday don't want to be told im completely buggered.

AF due Thursday aswell booo.

Lower back pain and cramps today not sure what thats about oh and a bit of creamy cm.

Hope everyone is having a gd weekend do far!

maybug I'm so pleased to hear you had a good experience with go. it's nice to get things moving. I've definitely felt calmer since we got our referral. I've even been coping much better with AF showing up.

blue I detect symptom spotting....do we need to demand press ups from you?

Jesse

AF is on a roll this week coz she got me this morning with a crappy 8 day luteal phase. Wonderful :-/

may Sounds like such good progress! DH does his SA on Friday and we are waiting for our joint fertility appointment at the hospital. I really hope I feel as positive as you do after it. I already feel better since the doctor agreed we should move ahead and see a specialist.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Hi everyone, gosh it's taken some time to read back and catch up with you all! You've all been busy ladies.

Welcome to all the newbies, I'm sure you'll find more support on here than the buses, I definitely did.

DH had his 'wank and drive' test done on Friday so has been told it will be around 10 days for results. Very proud of him. My day 21 tests came back fine, will ring tomorrow for day 2 results. Will book joint GP appointment for a couple of weeks to sort out referral to fertility clinic then.

Coming up to my next fertile window so hopefully will be busy dtd in the next week. Hopefully now the pressures off a bit we may unconsciously relax and who knows????

Hi everyone. Hope you're all having a nice weekend.

Sorry af seems to have got so many of you, I'm currently on day 5 of spotting (11dpo) so expecting af will be here properly in a day or two for me too.

may your new gp sounds great, it really does make a difference if you feel like you're being taken seriously and not just fobbed off.

non glad your day 21's came back fine, I'm gonna try and ring tomorrow to get mine if I can.

Bloody AF is doing the rounds this month! I thought May was meant to be fertile month!?

maybug glad your appointment went well, it's good to be able to get the ball rolling, feels like you are getting somewhere doesn't it.

Well I had a very spontaneous, very late night out last night! Thought I should make the most of it after AF showed up. Nursing a very sick head today. It's taken me an hour and a half to attempt to eat a muesli bar!

Hi all.

AF out in force! After my earlier confidence, fairly sure I'll be out by tomorrow. Feeling really frustrated with it all. Spent a few days trying to convince myself there are worse things than not having a family then a little lad in morrisons was explaining to his mum and dad why he preferred asda and it just broke my heart...

Anyway, off work for a couple of weeks so hopefully that'll perk me up. I'm trying really hard to do non-child friendly things and see the 'benefits' to not having kids but my word it's tough!

Not as tough as 'wank and drive'; really feel for the blokes and hope it all comes back ok!

Oh no, sorry af got you. I think she may get me today too, wee was very dark earlier!

Oh god m33r i know what you mwan, when out earlier we bumped into someone dh used to work with today who was out with wife 4yo daughter and a 5day old son. I literally couldn't talk to them!!!! This is getting harder every time :-(

I totally agree everyone, bumped into my neighbour who has a three week old today and had dinner on Friday night with a pregnant friend (who I am obviously delighted for) but find the in depth discussions on how much baby was moving during the 20week scan, really, really difficult.
When we are all preggers - we will obviously remember all of this!!!

I'm out now!! Boo :(

Yuk hibou. Really sorry. I'm still in but not due til tomorrow - cd33 - and have been known to go to cd 35 so keeping my expectations in check. Sorry again hibou and sorry to all wh've had mini-heartbreaks which we need to brave it through x

On a positive note, AF will be long gone for this weekend, which is our anniversary and mega treat weekend away. Lots of sex, food and booze (not necessarily in that order) all because we want to, not because we have to.
(*must book that bikini wax appointment)

Last couple of weeks have been hard for us all, lets all try to think of something that we are looking forward to xxx

Afternoon,

Luckily I dont know anyone close to me whos pregnant or anything.

Its only during family parties etc it becomes really hard because im often the one left looking after all the kids.

Sorry to those AF got.

Mines due Thursday and im trying very hard not to symptom spot but im also trying to get used to what my body does so that I know what isnt a symptom the next month.

Enjoying the sex before it arrives and ruins everything.

Hope every one is ok im an knackered I just could not sleep last night kept tossing and turning and im stuck at work until 5pm booo.

Jesse sounds fab - think of me working while you are away enjoying yourself ;-) and Blue you soon will lol happens to us all!

Well we have just got back from GP, got referral forms for SA and blood tests so off to hospital first thing tomorrow for my 1st lot of bloods then hopefully get appointment for day 21 & hubby in the morning. He feels happy that something is being done. I just want to cry and feel like we shouldn't even have to do this :-( selfish I know but my bloody pikey cousin keeps posting 'bump' pictures on FB of her unplanned pregnancy with her loser bf when neither of them have a home a career or anything - they are still dossing at his mums GRRRRRR!!!!!!!! Rant over....

Feel free to rant anytime. No one judges you on here x

Thanks Jesse just had enough of it...oh and guess what was in the car that nicked my space at the doctors - a couple with a frigging new born. I nearly burst into tears in the carpark!!!! DH just doesn't quite get it....

It's just rubbish this being so painfully aware of every bump and baby isn't it. I find myself fixated and unable to look away though it just tears me up.

DH needs to do his 2nd wank and drive. He is putting it off as we have the builders in and he hates the though of doing it whilst anyone is in the house. I will keep nagging but doesn't do much to get either of us in the mood -sigh!!

Hi, really bad internet reception here! Hope I can post this!

Sorry to af sufferers but glad people have got tests being sorted, I was happier once something was being done. Still waiting for dh's sa results tho. Don't know whether to make him call docs again on our hol!

Had my pos opk yesterday but 3 painful ov pain days prior to it! Cd15 today dtd cd14 and cd12. Want to again to tonight but dh moaning about it. It is so much bloody effort tho! Shouldn't it be fun?!

Oh and I changed my mind, Dorset is sunny ;-)

Morning all, af now with me too, she's everywhere this week it seems, sorry to everyone she's got.

I also just got copied into a message 'announcing my pregnancy to my close friends before everyone else' from a girl I really don't know all that well. I know why she's done it, we are both very close with our mutual friends, and in other circumstances its nice that she included me, but right now it feels a bit like 'ffs I'm literally being hunted down to have pregnancies shoved in my face now'. Totally irrational i know but this ttc business makes you crazy.

On the plus side we saw our close friends at the weekend for the 1st time since they announced they're expecting, and it was fine. I'm genuinely happy for them, and she's not the type who will bang on about it all the time so I managed the 10 mins of polite conversation about it then we just got back to normal.

blue I have everything crossed for you for Thursday.

Jesse your weekend sounds great! You're right about needing to focus on something positive when the evil red witch is here, it gets us through it!

mb good luck with the bloods this morning.

vic glad Dorset is sunny for you! Yep jump on dh again later, you're right it is meant to be fun - but needs must! I'm sure with a bit of encouragement he'll come round to the idea!

holly yes that must be awkward for your dh, I reckon its a bad enough thing for the guys to have to do without having the builders in the house too! Maybe he can do it when they pop out for supplies or lunch or something?!

Right I'm gonna try and ring for blood results again now - i tried yesterday but something weird was happening with the surgery phoneline. It kept saying the number I had dialed wasn't recognised then after a while just got their out of hours voicemail. Nothings simple is it!

holly is telling the builders to start an hour later or leave an hour earlier out of the question? You could DH to tell them to knock off and he could feel all manly and powerful and popular before his date with the cup?

Unfortunately the hospital only accept 'deposits' during a 2 hour slot in the morning so it needs to be first thing. Options are do it while DD and I are in the house (he isn't keen on that either) or they do have a special room in the hospital (bleurgh). Given what potentially lies in wait for me I am inclined towards telling him to just get on with it
