TTC 10 months plus, supporting each other and staying positive. Another BFP one of course :-)

[victoria401]

New thread for the rest of us to get our BFP's on, by whatever means!!!

My gp said a day later is better than a day before. That's just their view on it though some gps might be different

Omg honey!!!!! Congratulations on your BFP omg this us such a lucky thread!!!! Wish me luck as I'm now on day 11 of cycle so getting close to optimum time DTD last night and will tonight too!!!!
Hey Arnold welcome- I've just had my blood tests and had day 21 and day 2 they have a range of normal so they will be able to check in against what cd your on!!!!

All my bloods came back normal- she ran through DH sperm and it's bloody brilliant! 52%actively mobile and sperm count was 51million in 2.5ml sample! Now letter has been sent to fertility clinic xx

I'm good thanks vic great to see your BFP! It's been an epic journey with some hellish lows but you've got there! So so pleased for you!

lil like you said to me a couple of months ago "im not going anywhere until you're coming with me" x

Hello Victoria401! I was lurking on this thread a few days ago as DH and I were in the early stages of moving on to IUI and I was so delighted to see your BFP as I remember you from other boards.

And would you believe it, exactly the same thing has just happened to me! I was waiting for AF to arrive so I could book the day 3 scan (hoping it would not fall on the weekend), took a test just in case and bloody hell a BFP. We've been trying 7 months and this is the first BFP I've had - I was seriously losing hope as I am 41 and counting and we're trying for our first after getting married later in life.

I'm still reeling, but kind of pessimistic as I know that MC is so likely at this stage and my age. Fingers crossed our beans stick and we get those Christmas babies....I may have to call mine Jesus, even if a girl .

Congrats Vic! Have been a silent lurker on this thread so have seen your previous posts super happy for you!

thanks Vic

Jesse congratulations to you too!

Omg! Jessie how bizzare! Congratulations! My period was meant to fall last weekend so I called the clinic on Friday to find out if there was a weekend number I needed to call. I said I'd like to do this cycle as we will be on holiday for the start of the next one. She said well you never know relaxing on Hol might do the trick! (don't you flipping hate that being said?) I replied well its not worked the past 2.5 years so I highly doubt it. She replied again well it dies happen a lady just phoned me now before you to cancel as she's got preg naturally. Little did I know that I wound be phoning 5 days later to do the same! Flipping 'eck! Everything crossed for our Christmas babies!

Lil you won't be on your own. I will be rejoining this thread soon. Unfortunately I've had a few early scans and the last one on wed showed no growth or heartbeat. I have a scan Mon to confirm what we already know then scheduling a d&c hopefully not too long after. We are heartbroken but when I have the strength I would like to rejoin this thread again to continue with this crazy journey. I will never give up!

mama- you are one of the most positive and loveliest ladies we have had on this thread. It's not fair that bad things happen to people like you. Let's get next week past you, with lots of love and cuddles with DH and friends/ family, and then you know we are here for you whenever you want to start spending some more time on the thread. Much love, mama xoxo

vic- Such great news!!! You deserve it too, it's been so long. I hope me and lil are next too! OPk+ (just!) this afternoon so I am on it! lol Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy!

WTF?! I just saw jessi and honey! Haha! This is brilliant! Is there something in the broadband/ internet waves?! lol :-)

Thank you Lindsay, chat soon x

Great news for all these bfp's on here lately, I wish you boring uneventful pregnancies and healthy babies.

Back soon ladies, keep my seat warm x

I am so sorry to hear your news mama I found out the other day from the penis dragon FB thread but obviously didn't want to say anything on here. Take care of yourself my love. Best wishes x x

Thanks vic x

Just got my cd21 (well 24) bloods and the result is satisfactory. What the feck does that mean?! if I want figures I need to see the Dr. No follow up or referral. We have been trying since dec 2013! Anyway hubs is waiting on his SA so once we have that back I will go to the Dr again.

Can anyone help with what happens next? If hubs SA isn't great does his GP refer us (same gp practice) but if his are ok do we need to push for referral and further tests?

Yes you do need figures Ella! Who gave you the result? Receptionist? Letter? Text?! Dh got his last blood test results by text!!!! How long til you get dh's results? Don't be fobbed off with satisfactory, I presume it means you got over 30 and produced an egg. If both your results come back normal you may be required to keep TTC until the 2 year mark. Be prepared for that. Try googling criteria for referral in your area. I found PDF files online for gp guidelines for fertility. There is info out there.

ella definitely check the requirements for your area. my gp said they would make us wait until 2 years if there was no indication of infertility from my bloods and dhs sa. but our clinics website says they take a referral if you have been trying 1year.

your dh should have 2sa's. they may not do a second if all OK but I'd push for a repeat as sperm can vary a lot test to test.

and definitely get a print out of your results. but dint pabic at the terminology. I was told "satisfactory" over the phone but my numbers were actually pretty high.

Hi,
Pls can I join? Just hit 10mths ttc and no bfp.

1dc, followed by 3mmc, tests show no probs. frustrating!

Will read thread now marked place.

Thanks ladies. Brown spotting started at 9 dpo again. I don't understand why. Argh. I'm so frustrated by it all. Need hubs SA then back to the gp

Popped in to say hi and my heart skipped a beat! Vic congratulations lovely! I'm so pleased and happy for you!

Also Honey and Jessie fab news congrats!

We're going from highs to awful a lows - mama I'm thinking of you, so sorry to hear your news.

Nothing to report from me - FF took away ov again so even tho I hoped I'd be 14dpo today I'm not and no sign of ov on horizon. Have given up dtd - not bothered for about 2 weeks now. On CD57 or something ridiculous. Just wish I had a proper shot at it each month like you lovely ladies. Can't lose weight. Am a failure. Feeling down today. P*ss off weekend.

Hi Laura. Sorry you're feeling so down at the moment hun. It must be so frustrating for you not having proper cycles. I hope something happens soon to give you some positivity in your journey again x

Welcome to the thread Meredith Hope your bfp comes soon

Oh laura I'm so so sorry to hear how down you feel atm :( it's a terrible situation that you are in and like you say there is no pattern for you to follow so I can imagine how helpless you are feeling :( I wish there was something we could do to help xxx

mama I completely misses your post, I'm so sorry! I know there are just no words but know we are here for you and understand the pain you are going through, physically and emotionally.

Laura you are not a failure. its bloody hard staying positive and keeping up all the things we are supposed to be doing. I'm going to try and get back on the diet tomorrow. my plan is to start one meal at a time! and if I can ignore my lindor chocolates all the better!

Vic how are you doing? has it sunk in yet?

Thanks girls. I ended up going for a swim and clearing my head for a bit which made me feel better.

Also - has anyone ever experienced having af (with ovulation) but FF hasn't confirmed ov by temp? I ask because even tho FF didn't confirm it I had a positive opk and 2 weeks later am having odd symptoms like cramps for last 2 days, tender boobs and a feeling that af was about to happen..? I did a hpt yest and there was the faintest second line but none today. Think it was just evaporation. Isn't helping me to keep calm much though..!

How are you geeling Vic?

?? waving to everyone else!

*feeling would be even better...!
