TTC for 10 months and the rest. Ten plussers welcome. Thread 2.

[lucieloos]

We have been so busy chatting I've started a new thread. Welcome all 10+ ladies. Hope we all have some luck on this thread.

Just popping in to wish you all a lovely Christmas

MPP sounds like a good plan this month.

Wow Star, that is a lot. I know the first session usually costs more because it takes longer but mine was less than £100 including herbs if I remember rightly. I then had one or two sessions a month.

Lovely to hear from you Sammy.

I know what you mean Lucie. Hopefully it's mainly highs for us all next year.

I've just become an auntie for the 4th time!
For some reason I feel like I could cry... Even though I've known for 8 months she was coming. I HATE that I'm not excited for them. Xx

Sending hugs Sammy! It is 100% understandable to feel that way. And this time of year doesn't help. I thought I was doing ok and then I started crying watching the sound of music yesterday (recorded the live show) and was tearful today. You're next cycle is just around the corner and hopefully this time next year things will be very different xx

Bloody hell, Star, that's expensive! As already suggested, could you do without the herbs? It's an awful lot of money to continue with long term. How do you feel about it now?

Lucie, hope af arrives for you when it's supposed to!

Oh Sammy, I hope you're OK. Don't feel bad about how you feel. You can't help it, and it's totally understandable. Thinking of you

Just popping back to wish a merry Christmas and a happy new year to all the lovely 10 plussers. I hope 2016 sees all your dreams come true

It's not been too bad, my niece is adorable :)
I just can't believe it's been more than two years since we started trying. It's cd1 and I'm not as sad as I have been other months, I think part of me has just got used to it.

How is everyone else doing? Xx

The clinic can't fit us in until the end of February. They're really busy and there's lots of people ahead of us in the queue apparently. Even though the consultant said he'd try to fit us in at the beginning of January. That means we have one shot at a 2016 baby. One. Totally devastated, it's ruined my last day off completely. Xx

Hi Sammy.

That sucks and must be hugely disappointing for you. Is there any chance of it happening earlier? Do you have any option to phone up to see if there are any cancellations or anything like that? Apologies if that's a stupid question. I've no idea if it's a possibility or not. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with another disappointment

Thanks MPP. I guess cancellations are possible, but unlikely. I think we're looking at a transfer date of around 3rd March. I'm wishing the year away before it even gets here. Think dh and I are going to try to book a little holiday for the beginning of feb. xx

So sorry to hear that Sammy. Unfortunately with this horrible journey there is just so much waiting it's unbearable. Often I think we grieve that this didn't happen naturally to our ideal timescale and to deal with all the delays in the medical system on top of that just feels unfair. I think a holiday to break the wait is a good idea.

Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. Im having a nice break, but being off work is making this cycle drag so hard - can't believe I'm only CD10!

I agree with star, Sammy. A holiday definitely sounds like a good idea. It will give you something to look forward to during the wait. I'm crossing everything that it somehow comes sooner for you. In the meantime, we are here for you to vent whenever you need to

Star, agree with the Christmas cycle dragging! I've now made it to 8dpo, though my chart is very mountainous due to waking up at a mess of different times. Open circles everywhere! Not particularly hopeful this month, which is good I think as I totally convinced myself that last month was THE month and fell hard when af came. It's the first full cycle since our mf diagnosis, and we only DTD once around the right time, on the day of ov. Still, at least it was our 'something new' this month. DP is religiously taking his fertilaid without complaint. When do you go back to work?

Sorry to hear that Sammy. I am looking at it that I want to get pregnant in 2016 and so long as that happens I don't care when I give birth. I'm sure if you do get pregnant in 2016, which I bet you will, then you won't care either.

Hi to everyone else, hope you've had a good xmas. My last birth control pill tomorrow and then af should arrive in a few days and we're off again!

Exciting Lucie! I have everything crossed for you for a successful round.

Mpp, hopefully that one time does the trick and you don't have a decision to make about treatment. Fingers crossed!

Back at work on 5th but I have my scan that afternoon so a nice short day to ease back in. It's bad how ttc makes you wish your life away - I'm enjoying the break but I'm desperate for my fertile period to come and then I'll be willing away the awful 2 week wait. I'm convinced this isn't going to happen naturally, at least not until this fibroid is dealt with so I don't know why I got my hopes up last month - I was completely convinced I was pregnant and so so gutted when my period came. Totally know how you feel!

Lucie, that's a good way to look at it. I really hope I'm pregnant in 2016, I'm not sure I'll survive another Xmas childless.

We're currently trying to decide whether to have a snow or sum holiday in February, any suggestions on good places to go?

Lucie! Not long for you. Exciting :). Xx

Ohh would be a nice sun break for me if I had the choice. Fed up of this damp weather but I guess you need to go a bit further afield to guarantee some decent sun. We have been to Val D'Isere, Zell am See and Andorra ski-ing and all were lovely although Val D'Isere most picturesque and Zell am See lovely as they had a huge spa resort a couple of villages away, the biggest I have ever seen which was lovely to relax at on non ski-Ing days but being Austria there was a lot of nakedness

Happy new year all! Hope this is THE year for everyone!

Lucie, you're now post bc, yes? Hopefully af won't be too far behind now (seems strange saying that!) And very good way of looking at it, re: hoping to get pregnant in 2016!

Agreed about wishing your life away, Star. I've been doing way too much of that.

Have you booked the holiday, Sammy? If so, where did you choose? I hope you're feeling better.

10 dpo here, and the headaches from hell have arrived right on cue, so I'm guessing I'm out. No idea what my temp was like today cos we stayed at DP's parents last night so I didn't bother to take the thermometer - different houses and all that. On the plus side, I can now say I'm getting married this year! Exciting :)

Happy new year everybody!

MPP, that's really exciting you are getting married this year! What month is it?

I took my last bcp on Thursday so I'm hoping af will be anytime in the next couple of days!! Eeek it's all starting to get real again. I have my scans booked for the week after next so I'm hoping that af will be here by Monday so I don't have to change them. Really hope I can get 2 more frozen from this round. I would be very happy with that.

Good luck Lucie - fingers crossed for 2 embryos!

Fingers crossed for you too MPP, really hope this cycle ends in a BFP for you!

My scan is on Tuesday so hoping I'll know more about this fibroid then. It's been 4 weeks since the last scan and it's felt pretty futile continuing to try during this time but not much else I can do really.

And Happy New Year everyone!

Hi all!

Lucie, we're getting married in May. When we first set the date it felt like we had to wait ages, but now I can't believe how fast the times gone! Has AF arrived yet? Really hope you can have your scans when they're booked and fingers crossed for 2! :)

Good luck for your scan on Tuesday, Star. I can see what you mean about the trying in between but you never know, and if you hadn't tried you might have wondered 'what if'

Af due tomorrow for me, and I'm pretty confident she'll show up on time. All my usual symptoms are present and correct, with the exception of pre-af pains, but though that's unusual, it's not unheard of for me either. At some point this week, we'll start the ivf discussion again I expect.

Happy new year everyone! Sorry I've not been around. DH and I flew to South Spain for a few nights on Boxing day and I've pretty much managed not to think about TTC at all.

Sammy, I would definitely recommend some time away. I would go for sun too, South Spain was good and we had a break in Lanzarote last January.

Hope AF is on time for you Lucie! Also crossing my fingers for 2 lovely embryos to freeze.

Any sign for you MPP? Exciting that you're getting married in May!

Hope your scan goes well tomorrow Star, let us know how is goes.

Hi Lemon if you're lurking, hope you had a lovely Xmas an New year

Bit boring here, just waiting on my hospital appointment on the 22nd....

Hope you enjoyed your holiday Trixie! Sounds lovely, and a getaway after the madness of Christmas is a brilliant plan.

AF has not arrived here. It's actually irritating. My head is pounding (usual AF sign) so I know she's on her way but how dare she be late and make me feel hopeful when I was pretty chilled this month! I'm wondering if ff got ov wrong by a day or two. My temps have been all over the place this month due to later waking, as I mentioned earlier. It was high this morning for this time of month BUT I had very, very little sleep last night and when i did sleep I was very restless, so I think that's why. I imagine she'll be here in full glory by morning. bitch

MPP, I know you don't want to get your hopes up but I hope she doesn't arrive! A high temp this morning is a good sign. Fingers crossed :)

Lucie, did your period arrive? Hope so!

Trixie, hi! Your holiday sounds lovely and how amazing you managed to get ttc off your mind. Not too long till your appt and maybe now we're back at work, the 3 weeks will fly by.

Hi Star, I had a tiny bit of pink / brown on wiping today and have had a really bad headache so I'm hoping it means af will turn up full flow tomorrow.

Trixie, glad you had a good holiday and not too long to wait until your appt now.

MPP, hope af stays away for you tomorrow.

I checked the weather in Czech today and it's -8 snowing but feels like -15 eekk!!

The holiday was lovely, it was sunny most of the time and I consumed my body weight in rioja and tapas (on top of all the festive goodies) so back to the healthy eating now.

-15 Lucie! I struggle with the cold so really feel for you, hope you have got your thermals ready!

Any news MPP? Are you tempted to test? I absolutely hate being in limbo.

Star, I know, I think it is the first time in 2 years I've really not thought about it. Yes, sure the time will fly by.

I'm worrying now, I had a couple of tiny spots of blood yesterday early afternoon but nothing since. Don't really feel like af is coming either. It's day 5 off bcp and I thought it would have been here by now. I don't know if the buserelin is delaying things but if it doesn't arrive today it's going to mess up my timings for everything :-(
