All aboard the spooky train!

I'm a bit of a moody witch and had a few cramps but I guess that's the soy doing it's thing! I'm sure the same happened last month but it calmed down as i approached ov.

spinningirl10 · 11/09/2014 06:48

MorningGrin

Maybe I've got that to come!
Well af has buggered off so now the wait for ov.

How is everyone, it's still ages until October and we can start poasGrin

ChandlersFarang · 11/09/2014 06:56

Ha ha spinning, I hear ya! I'm brewing up a few lovely cramps and really hoping AF turns up today or tomorrow, all in line with my tight egg production schedule for next cycle! Grin

TheProof - it is challenging hearing others' good news when it's also what you desperately want too. It will happen for you soon, don't worry!! Then you'll be making other ladies green with envy in turn... Grin

So my best mate that announced her pregnancy last week (after about a month of TTC) texted me last night saying, "mate, one thing I would suggest you try is tilting your hips after sex!! Think about it - gravity!!". BLESS HER. I thought it might be a bit mean to reply listing the 15,000,000 times I've done that since January (when she was still happily on the pill!) along with the Softcups, fertile lube, OPKs, naked upside down cycling, CM spotting, CBFM purchasing, acupuncture, vitamins, 15x ultrasounds, 5x different hormone supplements, self-injections... And that's before I even start on what poor DH has had to try... Nope, I'll save that for a face-to-face chat once I'm actually pregnant I think!! GrinGrinGrin

Pikz · 11/09/2014 07:38

Chandlers the advice you get is always ace! I remember when I finally concieved DS and told people. Everyone was like it's ok accidents happen. I had to point out he was very much planned and wanted and I had been enduring months/years of treatment!

My September cycle is so screwed ovia has given up on me and skipped September all together Hmm

MrsExtraOrdinary · 11/09/2014 07:43

Oh chandlers bit sure I'd have been able to resist a ranting text back at your friend there. But your very right face to face is better.

Dh is fairly bewildered at the number of pills he's taking on a daily basis now! Hopefully they will have another sperm test in boots today, for round 2. He was quite disappointed I hadn't picked one up yesterday.

Would you believe my idiot 12 year old replacement solicitor lost our contracts and can't find the 33k we pinged over Monday and Tuesday? I will kill somebody soon. Our broker even said he'd drive down tonight and collect them in person. He's canary wharf and we are Eastbourne so that is commitment for you. Everyone just wants it done.

Jessica85 · 11/09/2014 08:36

Morning all, af got me so I'm jumping on board with the October bus. Hope everyone is well, and will catch up on the thread after work today.

My stats:
jessica85; ttc#1; cycle 2; bfp due 9th October.

gennibugs · 11/09/2014 09:02

Hi all

I'm skipping the September bus and jumping on here if ok.

my tests showed that I didn't ovulate this month and the consultant now thinks that perhaps I'm not ovulating at all. Despite 10 months of positive opks. I've got more tests next week but needless to say, I will not be getting a September bfp. my Amh is low for my age too so time is slowly starting to run out for me.

I'm keeping a low profile as the news we may be looking at a long hard road ahead has hit me very hard, but I love lurking and seeing all your news! Esp since so many of you here have been around for a while like me.

my stats are

gennibugs ttc#1 cycle 11 bfp due 20 October! god that's ages! ! Shock

MrsExtraOrdinary · 11/09/2014 09:32

Oh genni I'm so sorry my lovely. Not at all surprising you've found that hard to take in. Fx which ever path you find yourself on it's a road to a bfp ASAP. Smile

spinningirl10 · 11/09/2014 10:05

Oh Genni, I'm sorry to hear your news, it must be very hard to take that in. Fx that your further tests give you some positive news. Please update us with your news and for now I'm sending big hugs to youThanks

spinningirl10 · 11/09/2014 10:08

Jessica, sorry af got you. Good luck this cycle.

Chandler, well done on not responding to your friend. She'd probably be upset to hear what you've been through and as you say it would be a better face to face conversation.

Aprilray · 11/09/2014 10:38

Hi Genni, sorry to hear about your results. I have my fertility MOT on Monday and am starting to feel quite anxious. My GP said that on average we don't ovulate once or twice a year so hopefully it was just an anovulatory cycle. I hope your tests next week go well.

Sorry AF got you Jessica

What a pain MrsE - deep breaths! I hope the retest goes well.

I agree, definitely a face to face convo Chandlers

xBlueberry88x · 11/09/2014 10:39

Morning Ladies,

Work is dead this week and im so bored!!

MrsG sorry to see you here

TheProof It is hard I was even jealous of Kate and Will they've had one baby and another on the way in the time ive been trying grrrr

chandlers you were a lot more calm then I would have been lol but I probably wouldnt have said anything. I can tell you now when I finally have a baby I will be telling everyone how hard it is for some people!!!

MrsE how do these people manage day to day life you seem to have had nothing but hassle!!

Jessica welcome sorry AF got you

Genni Sorry to hear about your results I remember the feeling of finding out I wasnt ovulating after 13 cycles wasted I was so upset and angry.
Please dont worry to much there are things that they can do to help I know its hard I worry alot
If you ever need a chat give me a message im always around

Feeling a bit sorry for myself this week I aimed to exercise loads but have been feeling so run down and crap I have only cycled once. Plus my boss is off ill again so its just me sat here distracting myself with mn and facebook lol.

AF seems to be buggering off now thank god!!

MrsExtraOrdinary · 11/09/2014 11:04

Oh dear the pressure has got to me! Just called dh most names under the sun and demanded a divorce! Lol he just said, the bloody soy! Darling are you done shouting yet! Love him!

It's not really a surprise we've not had a bfp this year, we've been so utterly stressed. Has to be the longest house move ever. Sad

gennibugs · 11/09/2014 11:05

Thank you so much for your kind words. It's so nice to know I have support here. Other than my mum and DH I haven't told anyone and I feel like poor DH has taken the brunt of my tears whilst he himself is pretty upset too.

I am certainly hoping it was a anno cycle, but some of my hormone levels indicate it probably isnt.

april fx for your tests - I was terrified but I'm glad we at least know, rather than trying for another 6 months and then finding out something was wrong. Though I'm sure yours will be absolutely fine! Smile

blueberry I understand better how you must have felt when you found out. Its a shock isnt it. i feel like i have all the ov symptoms! Even this month where i know i cant get a bfp, im still feeling symptoms! Smile Thank you for your offer of messaging - I may well take you up on that.

Sorry for such a me me me post - I will read back later properly to see all your news x

spinningirl10 · 11/09/2014 11:17

Blueberry, I feel the same aboutKate. I remember the photos of her leaving the hospital with the baby. We were trying then and dp said that'll be us soon. I had a mc shortly after and here we are still trying and she's expecting againHmm

spinningirl10 · 11/09/2014 11:19

MrsE, your dh sounds lovely and so supportive. Hopefully when you move you'll soon get your bfp.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 11/09/2014 11:24

I really hope so spinning, but can't help thinking we might be in for a long haul again Sad 2 years last time ttc with mc in between and I wasn't trying half the things we are trying now! So glad we've all got each other though Grinmakes it much easier to cope with and keep an eye on the reward!

The thing is about Kate she has the best medical advise and expertise at her finger tips. She doesn't have to spend 3 weeks getting an apt with her gp does she. It's all on tap with everyone behind her. I bet she probably had lots of help...in secret. Wink

xBlueberry88x · 11/09/2014 12:15

Genni definately a shock I felt worthless as a woman to be honest. Took me a fair while and a lot of tears to start thinking about where to go from there but im concentrating on making myself as healthy as possible and finding ways to help myself.

Spinning how dare she aye lol I just want one for now!!!

Mrse you might be right about Kate. I hope your not in for the long haul though with everything you are doing to help everything along!! So Glad your DH is so lovely (mine has his moments)

Thanks Genni and Sunbathing. Part of me wishes I had done it sooner but we wanted to make sure we had given it our best shot first. I asked the clinic and apparently it can take up to 5 days so fx I have them by next Friday.

MrsExtraOrdinary · 11/09/2014 14:01

Dh is no angel! Haha! It's probably a good thing in some ways he's so laid back but it does mean everything gets left on my shoulders to deal with, because dh will always do it tomorrow. Ttc is no exception. I'm worried if the continual bfn is more down to him, then we will be years sorting it out, because he will always put it off. Sad Sorry ladies I'm a but down today! Not my usual perky self! I'm blaming the massive moon and the gloomy weather.

Come on let's wave a few pom poms! And think of penis dragons! Grin

Maybe it's a man thing to put things off! My dp leaves things till the last minute then blames me for him not doing them!!
I've booked a doctors appointment for next week. Think I'll see if there's any tests I can have to check things are Working as they should be. Been putting it off but as it's almost a year since my mc it might be wise.

lucieloos · 11/09/2014 16:13

Sorry to hear your news Genni, it is hard but I'm sure things will work out for you in the end. Do you know what your amh score was? What tests did you have done that suggested you weren't ovulating? Sorry for all the questions but I'm in the middle of all this testing myself and think maybe I should look into getting something like that done too.

Fx for your mot April, hope that goes well and you get your results quickly.

I poaic today at 11dpo and bfn. Think I will be joining you lovely ladies on this bus soon x
