We don't care if you obsessively chart, temp & OPK, or just do the deed a couple of times a month. As long as you want a baby & can talk copious amounts of rubbish, this is the place for you. Grin

sammy I'll forgive your cheating on us as long as, every so often, you tell us that we are funnier, kinder, cooler and more informed than your other thread mates?! If you came onto facebook you'd also see that we are prettier too. Just saying.

Hi there, thanks for asking about me. Sorry I haven't been on here much recently. Have just been chatting with Sammy and one or two others quietly on another thread. Unfortunately my treatment didn't go well this time. I started the medication and went for my first scan which went fine and then when I went in for my second scan a few days later half of my follicles had disappeared and those that were left were small which meant I would only have 1 or 2 eggs collected so we unfortunately decided to cancel Hmm I have taken further advice since this and it seems that my doctor had been holding out too long to give me the injection to stop me from ovulating. We are going to have a consultation in the UK to get a second opinion about everything and I have also been speaking to some lovely doctors at other clinics who have given me some good advice so I feel a little clearer on the way forward and we will start again hopefully in the next month or so. It was a massive shock as I really wasn't expecting to cancel and we have flights booked for tomorrow but hopefully better luck next time!

Hope you are all well and I will be reading back tonight to see what you are all up to and check for any bfps Smile

Mummyofonesofar · 26/06/2015 15:53

Putney it is optimum test date so I am due AF on Monday so I will be officially late Tuesday and therefore when you're meant to test.

Lucie so sorry the plan has been scuppered. Can't believe your Dr hasn't given you everything you need to get your bfp! Glad you've got some great advice for moving forward though so you've got loads of knowledge to get your well deserved baby as soon as possible xxx

Nomio230 · 26/06/2015 15:56

Oh no, Lucie, I am so sorry to hear that. It must be incredibly frustrating for you, and so disappointing too. I guess it is good that you found out early on, rather than several cycles down the line, but what a pile of poo.

At least you have a plan in place, and are looking forward. Will you stay with the same clinic?

Oh no lucie sorry to hear that. Hope things go better next time. Prosecco and gin and chill for tonight? Netflix and chill is the new thing right?

DizzyN I'm in the same boat as you - CD1. Felt really disappointed and sad this morning but was so busy didn't have time to mope. Now I'm home I'm actually feeling much more positive. I now know that I actually do ovulate so will be bang on my temps and OPKs - sssh don't tell the doctors haha. I understand why doctors say that but it makes me feel like I might have some control over what happens if I at least know what is going on, even if I'm just kidding myself. DH has also been on the sperm vits and we've got some conception plus to try so fingers effing crossed. I'm an April baby myself so what a lovely birthday present that would be.....hinthintwhoeverisupthere

Nomio230 · 26/06/2015 17:05

Good luck, Madame! At least you know there is nothing physically wrong now, so it is just a matter of time before you get that BFP. Smile

I agree that temping & OPKs give you a feeling of control. So much is out of our hands when it comes to TTC that it is nice to know what is going on. Plus it enables you to focus your efforts at the right time.

My OPK was a lot paler than the test line earlier, so I am pretty sure the little egg has dropped. I really hope it is feeling friendly & lets one of the sperms in!

Three cheers for mummy's boobs! This sounds entirely promising! Your DH'S friend sounds like a right donkey. I am annoyed for you!

Sending love to lucie - am gutted for you love. So sorry they let you down. I know you'll get the right care now - sounds like you have plenty of options. Have you decided who you'll go with? Hope you're being well looked after this weekend Flowers

I've got fancy beer and just debating whether I can polish off the rest of the icecream in the freezer...how much is allowed? Bearing in mind I've already eaten a huge slice of chocolate cake today...! I am no good at behaving myself, I need to take a leaf out of dizzynorthern's book.

boris we ARE the funniest, coolest and prettiest! Accept no imitations sammy Wink

Waving to you others, I am absorbed in the telly on my night of DH-free chilling so have missed lots but hope you're all having lovely Friday eves.

loopylou1984 · 26/06/2015 20:59

Oh yes, forgot to say... Obviously you are the funniest, kindest, coolest people I know! X

Mummyofonesofar · 26/06/2015 21:05

mega hope you're enjoying dh free night! Watching orange is the new black with DP, enjoying a wine. Drinking til it's pink this time round!

yes we are a pretty bunch, everyone should join our fb group!!

megarobotdiscoparty · 26/06/2015 21:07

dizzymerry I missed your question sorry love! I did conceive on first round of Clomid with DS. The docs told me I probably wasn't ovving as I wasn't having periods but I did no tracking at all so I might have been. I do worry how 'powerful' my eggs are without the Clomid, esp after my MC. Have you ever taken or been recommended Clomid? I don't know much about low progesterone so not sure if that's a thing they'd suggest! I will be tracking with you from day 1 if my next cycle fails - don't want to miss a thing! Hope you're ok.

Mummyofonesofar · 26/06/2015 21:09

mega thanks for cheering on my boobs Grin

megarobotdiscoparty · 26/06/2015 21:11

mummy enjoy your lovely telly and your wine! I'm enjoying the Glastonbury coverage as predicted Grin Going for a wee every time I feel jealous just to appreciate how fortunate I am watching it at home on telly with my lovely loo upstairs and cheap booze in the fridge!

Reluctantnympho · 26/06/2015 21:13

((Hugs)) lucie
I'm on deaths door here Sad I think I must have a tummy bug! I've felt sick with stomach cramps all day. (Or it could be the big bag of sour cream and chive crisps that I ate last night) I know it's just a bug but the naughty voice in my head says it's the start of morning sickness even though I know it's too early (cycle day 23 of 28) I am of course not lying in my sick bed googling early morning sickness!

Mummyofonesofar · 26/06/2015 21:14

mega who needs a festival anyway. Sofa and TV is far superior!

nightandthelight · 26/06/2015 21:15

So sorry to hear that thing a didn't work out this time Lucie :( Flowers

MadameLeota · 26/06/2015 21:19

I've never been to a festival so don't know what I'm missing, but I sure do enjoy indoor plumbing haha! I've just had a family dinner, this week has wiped me out so going to run myself a hot bath. Hope everyone has a great evening!
