The Rules of Bumsnet

You can shag, you can syringe, you can temp, you can OPK; as long as your aim is a BFP!

We're cliquey so fuck off. LPB will be annihilated.

In the waiting room now surrounded by baby bumps :(. Xx

ThePug · 27/04/2015 11:11

I'm awake!

DizzyMerry · 27/04/2015 11:14

Night so you have a shorter follicular phase? I had a quick look on google but not seen anything which confirms it's could hamper chances of pregnancy. I hope someone will come along soon with some advice.

Thinking of you Pug Flowers

Good luck with your appointment sammy. Oh just read your update Sad insensitive morons.

tessiegirl · 27/04/2015 11:15

Morning!

Lovely day here and its my nans birthday so we are all going out for lunch soon Smile

Sparkly yes I'm still in the UK, I am here for a month! We fly back to Sarajevo on 10th May hence why I really wanted to have a private scan done before we leave....that is lovely that we share the same scan day on the 8th! We can definitely hold hands! What time is your app? Mine is 2.30... Confused

On the subject of flying, I will be flying back and forth from here to Sarajevo throughout my pregnancy unless there is a problem or when I have to stop nearer due date. Not looking forward to it especially if I'm not feeling well but I want to be with DH.... I have looked it all up though and there are no risks to baby so ok with it

Spinning how was the last Poldark last night?! I have about 4 episodes to catch up on!!!!

tessiegirl · 27/04/2015 11:15

Thinking of you Pug How did it go? Flowers

Woolly84 · 27/04/2015 11:17

Oh sammy Flowers some of those bumps may have long TTC journeys behind them, and you're there to get closer to getting your very own bump - stay strong lovely x

pug! How was it? Hope you're okay and not feeling too out of it Flowers

nightandthelight · 27/04/2015 11:24

Just found a research paper that states very clearly that a short follicular phase affects fertility and miscarriage. They found that for normal to late ovulators the chance of a pregnancy being viable was 84%, for early ovulators it's 21% :(

ThePug · 27/04/2015 11:24

Feeling fine, just having a cup of tea. Doctor hasn't been in yet so not been told much but assume all went well.

Sammy - as I was wheeled down to theatre I was taken past a massively pregnant lady and her husband, was the only point I nearly cried. Hope you are seen soon.

nightandthelight · 27/04/2015 11:29

Hugs pug!

spinningirl10 · 27/04/2015 11:29

Tessie, I missed Poldark! Dh came home just before it started and I'd rather watch it on my own. I saw a spoiler in the paper today so I quickly shut that down. Looking forward to catching up laterSmile

DizzyMerry · 27/04/2015 11:31

You put it so eloquently Woolly.

Night is it something that can be 'fixed'? Supplements? I really hope you get to the bottom of this to put your mind at rest.

Tessie happy birthday to your man. Hope you all have a lovely day.

nightandthelight · 27/04/2015 11:35

Thanks Merry am going to do more research later!

DizzyMerry · 27/04/2015 11:38

Oh for goodness sake! I meant happy birthday to your nan tessie should read before I post Blush

tessiegirl · 27/04/2015 11:42

Oh no, how inconsiderate of your DH Spinning! At least you can catch up later...I am also heard a spoiler for last night's episode so trying to stick fingers in my ears!!!

Haha!! Not to worry DizzyMerry! Smile

Hairstylisttoboris · 27/04/2015 11:44

pug Thinking of you hope they are looking after you.
sammy sorry about the bumps. Focus on the end game - this is to get you your own bump.
night interesting. What do they define as a short FP? I ovulate on day 10 which seems far to early.

Nomio230 · 27/04/2015 11:45

Pug, how are you feeling? You seem to be amazingly brave, but please know that if you do need to cry or rant, we are here for you.

Night, I would go speak to a specialist if you can. It is probably not worth asking your GP about it, as they don't generally know much regarding fertility, and are often not allowed to prescribe the drugs. FX it can be fixed quickly and easily.

Tessie, hope you have a lovely time.

Frog, are you feeling a bit brighter today? I hope so. I normally feel crappy the first day, then on the second I start thinking about the next cycle.

I have been to see the Dr this morning. She doesn't seem to think it is OHSS, but suspects an infection. I had to do a urine sample & am about to go for blood tests, then she wants to see me again on Thurs. She really pissed me off as she referred to me as being pregnant twice! Erm, no!

So far today I feel a bit better, so whatever it was hopefully it is going.

nightandthelight · 27/04/2015 11:49

Anything under 11 days Boris!

Thanks nomio, do you know how I find a specialist and how much it costs on average?

purdiepie · 27/04/2015 11:52

If I could afford Clark's shoes I wouldn't have to go cap in hand to the benefits agency for clothes vouchers

night, I didn't want to alarm you but yes, it can be injurious to ttc when you ov very early. Eggs just aren't mature enough. Clomid would maybe help.

Sammy, they put old people like me on Clomid just to shut us up.

Woolly84 · 27/04/2015 11:56

tessie enjoy the rest of your holiday!

night as nomio says it might be worth seeing a fertility specialist about it, I imagine it's not that uncommon and hopefully perfectly treatable.

Glad you're okay pug, hope they're round to give you an update soon Flowers

nomio her bedside manner sounds appalling, honestly, talk about what not to say to someone TTCing! You ok? Glad you're feeling better today and hope whatever it was is on its way out Flowers

Woolly84 · 27/04/2015 11:59

brings over a footspa for purdie and some Cake

nightandthelight · 27/04/2015 12:02

Thanks Purdie :) is it worth Temping a couple more months or just going to specialist straight away?

loopylou1984 · 27/04/2015 12:10

Oh pug that's so horrible. How hard would it be to have two separate rooms/waiting areas for these things?
Hope you're doing okay, Xx

loopylou1984 · 27/04/2015 12:12

Will catch up with and update you all later - just off to find a pub for lunch with dh. Xx

Sparkly123 · 27/04/2015 12:23

Woolly so sorry AF properly showed up lovely! Next cycle next cycle next cycle! New hope!Star

Purdita hope work is a nice break today! I look forward to your stories!

Dizzynorth that would be a late OV though right? Sorry if you have already said but do you use OPKs? Huge temp dip would indicate OV today.Have a nice day with your friend.. Hoping for no surprise preggo announcements from her!!

Night cd9 is rather early to OV lovely.i think there may be a blood test to check quality of eggs if that's what you are concerned with.. Dr Purdie will know. I think it's a good idea to check that out. And not with a gp!Flowers

Froggy hope you are feeling a bit better this am! Flowers

Melon Urgh that sounds rotten!! Get well sooon!Brew

Lucie if you are out there! Everything is crossed for you. Hope you had a safe journey home!Smile

Sammy sorry for bumps! We had a separate fertility wait which I thought was really quite nice of the NHS! Good luck good luck! This is a good day for you! Oh you are out!- enjoy lunch! Wine

Spinners no Poldark?! Wow!!Shock

Tessie happy birthday to your nan! Enjoy today! My app will be 1pm, I may have one this week though I'm gonna see what happens. Trying to block it all out!! Hope you are feeling ok lovely Smile

Pug so glad to hear you are ok and through it. Hope they are taking good care of you and update you soon. Flowers

Nomio glad you went to doc.. Although why does she keep doing this?! So frustrating for you! I hope you put her straight! (In the face, with a fist...!) Hopefully has been a little infection then and not what you were thinking. So you feel a bit easier today?

nightandthelight · 27/04/2015 12:26

Thanks Sparkly :) do you know how to find a fertility specialist? Don't know where to start!

Shocked by nomio's doc, not acceptable!
