victoria401 · 17/05/2014 19:43

This hol we were just eating what we wanted when we wanted it! And now paying the price as I think I look noticably fatter round the middle! Still in holiday mode tonight tho and ordered a big fat curry! Need to go food shopping tomorrow and only buying healthy stuff and chocolate

MB1985 · 17/05/2014 20:29

Yeah we need to go, must get back into the mindset of healthy eating...lil I really got into exercising at one point - I loved it! Then I cancelled my gym membership and now I can barely do 2 flights of stairs again!!!

xBlueberry88x · 17/05/2014 20:48

Me and dp have decided to start cycling most evenings and im going to try get up half hour earlier in morning to exercise.

Burnt alot worse than I thought uh oh

victoria401 · 17/05/2014 21:45

Sounds like a plan blue :-) these nice light evenings.

I need to get back to my dancing, swimming and Zumba!

Feeling suddenly anxious about dh's sperm, and everything else. Holiday mode has gone and I'm back to earth again. Same old shit to deal with back home eh?

MB1985 · 18/05/2014 10:41

Don't blame you Vic I'm really worried and we've got ages to wait!! Feeling really down this morning. Have been doing cbd poas opk for last few days, nothing again despite it being CD 12 of a 26-28 day cycle and should show up 3 days before ov. Pretty sure now that I'm screwed up and poss dh meds mean he is too.

lil1ady · 18/05/2014 11:04

mb I have irregular cycles so have been doing opks over a year and cbfm for 4 months and I've had ov confirmed. currently cd18 and cbfm still low. latest I've ever ovd is cd25 and I normally get a week or more highs before peak on cbfm. my point is you could just be having an off month. its normal to have 1 or 2 annov cycles per year! and stress is a major factor delaying ov so go get a glass of vino and relax in the sun! PMA girls Grin

xBlueberry88x · 18/05/2014 12:37

Argh still a no show for af ive only ever been late once what the hell is my body playing at!!

Hard I know but try not to be to anxious about sa results I believe if there is a problem they are easier to sort.

victoria401 · 18/05/2014 13:05

Been waiting since his initial non starter referral on Feb 8th! Seems mad that we will hopefully know tomorrow!

What did doc say about your bleeding the other week blue? If anything, I know what they are like. My GP classed my spotting as day 1 of af and gave me a random preg test when I knew exactly where I was in my cycle. Maybe it was something to do with anovulatory cycles? I don't know much about them tho. Maybe you did have another af type thing after only 2 weeks? Can't explain the opks tho. I know a pos opk doesn't mean you actually ov but that's about it.

Chin up MB x

I'm so glad I have you girls to talk to! We can get through this together!

xBlueberry88x · 18/05/2014 13:18

She had no idea lol doctors really dont know enough!

If it is to do with annovultary cycles I would have thought it would have happened before im ffairly regular which is what I don't get.

MB1985 · 18/05/2014 15:00

Thanks ladies dh (or inconsiderate bastard as we shall call him today!) just doesn't get it at all - I'm so glad I can 'talk' to you!! Off to sit in the sun at a bbq now with probably a vino or 2 :-)

lil1ady · 18/05/2014 23:12

also seething with my 'd'h. why is it up to me to make sure we have sex so we have a shot at ttc each month. grrr! men are idiots. when they tell you men only think about srx they are LYING!

lil1ady · 18/05/2014 23:13

srx=sex. so angry I can't type!

MB1985 · 19/05/2014 00:14

Omg lil it drives me mad - no matter how many times we 'talk' about it he just does not listen!!!! When will he learn that I am always right and he should just listen to me ;-)

victoria401 · 19/05/2014 10:33

Can't bloody believe it! Dh just called the docs and there are still no results! 3 weeks today and they said 10days! I want to know even if dh doesn't give a flying monkey if he knows or not only 7 days til af and I need to know if we are in with a chance or not!

The docs are going to 'look into it' and call him back but we are going to the garden centre and Tesco now and he won't want a call then!

Lindsay81 · 19/05/2014 11:02

Hi girls- hope you all had a good weekend :-) The weirdest thing is happening with me. I just posted this on the main board so sorry of you have read already!

As you know, I have a 25/26 day cycle but a short LP around 8 days. My period usually lasts for 5 days. I never spot before or after.

My period has "finished" but I am still spotting today at cd9 and feel mild cramps, similar to ovulation (OPK- today) or perhaps like a UTI type of feeling. The only thing I have done a bit differently recently is forgotten to take my B100 complex for around a week.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could be and should I be concerned? It's very unusual for me to see at spotting like this after cd5 or maybe 6 latest.

Lindsay81 · 19/05/2014 11:02

vic - That is absolutely ridiculous!

pocopearl · 19/05/2014 11:21

Hi all have just got af after cycle 9. Does this mean I can join here now? Ttc number 2 took 11 months last time. Thought it would be quicker this time. :(

xBlueberry88x · 19/05/2014 13:31

Afternoon Ladies,

Lil my dp is exactly the same. We discuss at the beginning of the month the plan of action and it never works out men are stupid.

Vicky What the hell are they playing at my dps SA was back within a week. Keep calling them until they give you what they want.

Lindsay Have you got any OPKS you might be ovulating early.

Welcomes Poco Of course you can join.

So today I am 4/5 days late and still no sign of AF trying to not worry about it but my god its annoying.

If the mid cycle bleeding counted as AF it should turn up again on the weekend. However most things I read recon its ovulation bleeding, could this have been the first month I ever ovulated and if I need it was late because I used OPKS until about cd20 ish.

If I ovulated around they and I have a 14 day lp AF will be due on the 21st.

Arghhhh lol

victoria401 · 19/05/2014 14:19

It kinda sounded too heavy and long for ov bleeding, blue not that I know

Latest on the sa result.... Dh called the labs and they said they sent out the report THE DAY AFTER THE SAMPLE RECEIPT! They faxed another to the GP, who then called dh to say they'd "found the report but the GP needs to read it and write their comments" and to call back again tomorrow! Dh is back at work tomorrow so will have to go sit in the car or something to get privacy as he is in shared small office.

Welcome poco how old is your child? Hope you can make a sibling soon :-)

Hope everyone else is ok?

MB1985 · 19/05/2014 14:47

haha Blue yeah they are a bit! DH is a bit more D today - so far! No idea whats going on though :-(

Vic thats crap, some Drs are just appaling aren't they! Fx for tomorrow though

Linds I have no idea - but funny you should say because I had something similar this month, I just figured it was one of those things!

Hi Poco sorry to hear you are having trouble again :-( fx not too much longer for you

I got a flashy smiley today which could/shoud mean ov wednesday which is about right - although dh SA is thursday so timing is crap!!! Kinda hoping for the extra flashys now!!!

laurano81 · 19/05/2014 15:37

Hi ImaginaryHat....my 7 dpo test was progesterone 44.3...but I then proceeded to have spotting at 9 dpo & Af 10 dpo. I just went to the doc today, after almost begging my doc to do 9dpo hormone tests, as something happens to my progesterone level between 7 dpo and 9/10 dpo..Yesterday I was 9 dpo, so had to get the test done today at 10 dpo...Hopefully it will prove what I have been telling the docs with the last 10 months!!! I am 32 so they prob aren't taking this as seriously as I feel they should! I have been taking VitB6 and I am going to start Agnus Cactus as well (just up to Ovulation). I also go to accupuncture. I look forward to hearing from you...:)

stepmama84 · 19/05/2014 18:58

Crikey you guys post a lot at the weekend ! Need to bare that in mind :)
Weather has been amazing, enjoyed good dog walks and my first try at tennis with dh and dss, thoroughly enjoyable! Definitely caught the sun and loved not having to wear a coat :)
Blue - you're very patient I would be googling and peeing on any kind of stick!
Vic - how frustrating, bloody doctors, they have no empathy for what results like these mean to women.

Picture this - obviously pregnant bitch (you know who) wearing white tight hot pant shorts and white tight vest top. Both having everything on show. Shouting "Awright darlin?!!!" from by the car.
Classy……...

HollyBen · 20/05/2014 10:20

She sounds like a charmer stepmama I also have a nearly 13 year old dss. Luckily his dm and are a civil.

DH got round to doing his repeat sa last week so waiting to see why results are (hopefully by the end of the week) then I have gp apt on 27th to get fertility clinic referral started. Question for you ladies. On 27th I will be 10 dpo. Should I poas before I go to gp just in case or is it too early? Should I just get things kicked off and then cancel in the unlikely event of a bfp?

Jessewalt · 20/05/2014 10:27

Hi Hollyben,
I too have gp appointment on the 27th with mr Jesse to get the referral to infertility started.
If I were you I wouldn't bother poas, just get the referral process started and how amazing would it be to have to make a phone call to cancel it all, if you did get a bfp?!

Had an amazing weekend and was feeling so relaxed and happy, and then more pregnancy announcements from friends only just married. As always, I am delighted for them but it just highlights that we are not, and I want so much to be a part of it.
Keep moving forward I suppose
