Sorry you have a uti Victoria rubbish!! Hope you are feeling better soonFlowers

Noticing this thread is about to hit capacity ladies so may need to start a 4th!

spinningirl10 · 22/01/2015 14:05

Woohoo Mr Spinning has handed in his sperm sampleGrinGrin

Victoria, pleased you're feeling a little better today.

babsbunny · 22/01/2015 14:12

Hi Victoria. Hope you feel better soon. UTI is pants. Take it easy in work. I added up today that I had worked 3.5 days in 2.

I promptly advised my boss that I might be leaving early, as in straight away...to go home to sleep.

I'm not sure it helps the ttc plight Confused

babsbunny · 22/01/2015 14:20

Am I ridiculous to hold out after pink spotting last night on cd23 of 26 day cycle?

babsbunny · 22/01/2015 14:25

Oh pants. I just realised yesterday was CD24

spinningirl10 · 22/01/2015 14:54

Question about cd3 bloods?

Can they be taken on cd4/5? If af starts tomorrow then i can hopefully get booked in for Monday.

Nomio230 · 22/01/2015 15:13

Hi sparkly good to hear you are feeling a bit better. Your positive attitude is really inspiring.

Babs I also have a 26/27 day cycle & had spotting yesterday. I had a bit of a meltdown & was sure af was going to be early, but so far no other signs. I still don't think I am pg, as have had 3 bfn's, but don't know what is going on!

Blimey I am so sorry that you are back in limbo land. I really hope you get a definite answer soon for the sake of your sanity.

My basal thermometer has just turned up this morning. I have downloaded ff & am going to start temping next month. At least then I will know if I am definitely ovulating or not. Will carry on using opk's, conceive+ & softcups too. Can you tell I am getting a bit desperate for my bfp?!

PurdeyBirdie · 22/01/2015 15:17

Sorry in advance but I will be cluster posting as I have a lot of posts to read since this morning.

Firstly, I want to humbly apologise for my unhelpful opinion this morning about acupuncturists. I had no right being so critical and I would like it very much if you completely ignored my rant Thanks

AF arrived this morning in the form of a nine-inch string of crimson snot that dangled from my vagina like alien slime. And yes, that was appallingly TMI but may go some way to explaining this morning's grumpy post Hmm

PurdeyBirdie · 22/01/2015 15:19

Genni, I loved reading your journey and I was grinning broadly by the end. Much luck to you in your pregnancy. Please can I be nosy and ask what your AMH score was? Thank you Thanks

MissMrsMummy · 22/01/2015 15:20

Hi nomio good plan there! I always feel a bit better mentally if I'm taking steps to help me conceive.

Lovely to see you back sparkly thinking of you and hope you're ok.

babs glad you've got some time back for all that work! Enjoy hot water bottle and mags!

victoria so pleased your uti is backing off! Hope it stays that way and you start to feel better soon.

Today I had a nice big temp spike (3dpo) I think so I'm hoping my progesterone levels are good (do they correlate with temps) as my post-ov temps are usually quite low. Also had a HORRIBLE nightmare which I think is also progesterone related?

How is everyone?

MissMrsMummy · 22/01/2015 15:28

I have set up Jan Bus Take 4 as we are nearly full here!

PurdeyBirdie · 22/01/2015 15:35

Victoria, glad you're feeling better. UTIs are horrid.

Catlady, I have never seen as much creamy discharge in a 2ww as I did this month. TMI but my black knickers looked as though I had been storing chalk in my vadge Hmm I also experienced proper nausea and bloating. I am, however, royally un-pregnant. Go figure.

Nomio, it is right that you should start temping. I don't want to encourage obsessive behaviour but those of you with short cycles or unexplained spotting a whole week before AF (and no pregnancy) would do well to find out for sure if you're ovulating. Days and days of spotting before AF is not normal and indicates the lining of the womb is shedding prematurely. This means an embryo would also be shed before it had time to implant. I am not trying to alarm anyone, but please get persistent spotting checked out as it's easily remedied with vaginal progesterone suppositories.

Spinning, I love sperm sample results! Love 'em. My husband started off with 16 million (less than 20 million is considered on the low side). Six months of being force-fed zinc, co-enzyme Q10 and brazil nuts (high in essential selenium) and his sperm count on the day of IVF was 59 million. His morphology (a predictor of success in fertilising eggs) had increased from 3% to 21%. Supplements are everything in this game...especially for men.

P.s..it is my honest opinion that smoking does not make a man less fertile. Neither does booze (unless they are ruining their health with it). This is just my opinion.

Sparkly123 · 22/01/2015 15:36

Hi spinning no idea about cycle day 3 bloods.. Can I ask what they are for??hope you are doing ok!

Nomio you sound all set up ready to go!! Once you start temping I find it really helps knowing the patterns! Good luck! I also use FF. BFPs all round I say!

Purdey hiya friend! Sorry that witch has arrived. How dare she!! Hope she buggers off soon so you can get back in the game. Flowers

Missmrs temp rise sounds good!! Fingers crossed for this month for you!! I haven't heard about progesterone and dreaming but perhaps you are right!!

Anyone got any words of wisdom to help me get some sanity back?! Ha. No idea when to count from now and still bleeding. Literally can't even put one foot in front of the other at the mo! So weak. Any advice much appreciated Confused

gennibugs · 22/01/2015 15:37

I totally agree victoria I personally only gave those up as we were prepping for treatment and because the issues lay with me and my poor eggs. I certainly didn't give anything up prior to that. It would be a miserable life without some treats Smile

spinning my end is 26 September all being well!

lucie I took 600mg of coq10 each day and I think 1000mg of royal jelly. That was what my consultant recommended to me. If you go on fertility friend (the uk site) there's loads of discussion on there re what may help AMH etc. if you are interested. The protein was hard - I am a carb fiend but I tried to eat eggs for breakfast (I hate eggs usually), fish and salad for lunch and then steak or chicken for dinner with sweet potato. Plain full fat yogurts, nuts and cold meats and fruit for snacks. Pretty boring really. Some people take natural protein shakes but I can't stand them so didn't bother.

purdey my AMH was 3.5 mid last year - so not the lowest I've seen but certainly low for someone of my age. Just one of those things I think x

gennibugs · 22/01/2015 15:38

spinning I'm no expert but I know I had mine on day 4 and it wasn't an issue but I'm sure others on here will no more than me!

Sparkly123 · 22/01/2015 15:39

Purdey ! Interesting info on the spotting pre AF and charting. How should my chart look around my spotting then? I get the brown spotting usually about six days pre AF my temps are still higher than pre OV though at this time?

spinningirl10 · 22/01/2015 16:23

Wow Purdey that is a massive difference! Dp takes no supplements so this may be something he needs to do!

Sparkly, my cd3/4 tests are to check:
Lutenising hormone
Follicle stimulating hormone
East (something) levels
Couldn't quite catch the 3rd one in the answer phone message Blush
The clinic asked me have to have cd21 and cd 3 bloods taken and also for dp to do his sperm sample.
Sorry you're feeling so unwell, have you taken sick leave? Sounds like you just need to relax and let your body mend xx

spinningirl10 · 22/01/2015 16:25

Ooh Genni, a September baby will be lovelySmile out of interest have you pee'd on an opk? There always seems to be a dispute about whether you get a line on them when pregnant.....we could use you as a guinea pigGrin

MissMrsMummy · 22/01/2015 16:32

spinning good luck for DH's sperm analysis! my DH is due to have it next month but I'm hoping we can manage a bfp first!

PurdeyBirdie · 22/01/2015 16:35

Spinning, it's a horrid shock when your husband's sperm comes back as pretty un-amazing, especially when he has already fathered a child (he has a nine year-old son with a former lunatic slag partner).

Genni, thanks for the info. More and more I am beginning to think that sex the day after ov is a rather prudent choice.

Sparkly, I hate that you are feeling so messed up and that you are in pain. Count your first day of proper bleeding as CD1 - as you would with AF. This will soon be over and you are going to get your baby Thanks How to deal with the sadness/messed-up-ness? Do nice things. Even small things that make you look outwards instead of inwards at your sorrow. Go for a walk and look hard at the trees and the ducks at the park or on the canal. Listen to uplifting music that makes your heart soar, even for a minute xxx

spinningirl10 · 22/01/2015 16:35

Thanks missmrs, he thinks he has super sperm, I think it will come as quite a shock to him if there's any problems Smile

spinningirl10 · 22/01/2015 16:39

THIS BUS IS ALMOST FULL.....SCROLL DOWN FOR LINK TO NEW BUSGrin

PurdeyBirdie · 22/01/2015 16:39

Spinning, they will be testing also for estradiol and TSH and prolactin levels. Do these ring a bell?

Sparkly, I have never spotted so don't know what a 'spotty' chart looks like, sorry. I think perhaps there would be no temp shifts as the blood loss is only superficial, but then again, progesterone must be dropping in order for lining to be lost, no?

I am so going to start taking co-enzyme Q10.
