The Bumsnet Bus: All aboard for destination BFP!

[MagpieCursedTea]

Hope it's not too presumptuous but the last thread was nearly full so thought I'd get a new one ready!

Blueberry that sounds horrendous! Hope than scan goes well and that you start to feel better soon. Let us know how you get on, will be thinking of you

Genghis it would be so much simpler if our bodies would just send out clear messages!

Nomio I'm glad to hear that Dr Google has been kind and it's nothing to worry about!

So according to FF I'm 3DPO. Turns out norethisterone raises BBT. Nice little kick in the teeth there!

X posted with you Blueberry, really sorry to hear that lovely I hope they can help you out in hospital. I'm very cross with doctors on your behalf for not investigating sooner. All the best

Oh no, Blueberry. I am so sorry to hear that. On the positive side, I know at least one person who has conceived with endo, so if it is that, don't give up hope. At least once you know, it can be treated.

I had the exact same thing happen when I was given Norethisterone. After I stopped taking it, I had the worst pain of my life & blood was gushing out (sorry tmi). I was hospitalised & had all kinds of tests, but never had an explanation for my extreme reaction. I have never heard of it happening to anyone else, otherwise I would have warned you.

Congratulations on the 4st award! You have done amazingly well.

Magpie, that is a bit poo. I guess it is all to do with hormones.

Thank you for all the support everyone. We managed to DTD on Friday evening/Saturday morning and I had really intense ovulation pain on Saturday evening, so now I just have to hope.

Sorry to hear that Blueberry. I have been diagnosed with endo and have been pregnant twice. Will you be offered some surgery to cut away the cysts and more help to get pregnant?

I also know someone who has been pregnant with huge fibroids and she only found out because she kept bleeding during pregnancy, but they have been removed since she gave birth and she is now trying for another one.

Sounds like you timed it perfectly, Fuzzy. Fingers crossed for you. X

Hi Blueberry So sorry for the outcome of the scan! But congrats on your 4st loss!! Im currently 2st down but cant get my head in it just now!

CD11 today, got a high on my Clearblue Advanced Fertility Monitor. A bit earlier than usual so i dunno if i may ov earlier than normal. Preseed arrived today so going to give that a try.

Had a few dreams over last few nights that i was pregnant. feel so real! gutted when i wake though

hope youre all well xxx

Hi everyone, sorry i have not been on, we have not been trying in the end this month as i had a cold then dh had a cold and his vertigo came back for a few days which did not help and because we are going on holiday soon, we were told not to take clomid until then incase the flying causes a miscarriage , so this month and next i won't be trying but will still try and keep popping in,

Hope everyone is well and giving everyone a wave and a high five!!!

Rainy enjoy your holiday xx

How are you doing today Blueberry ? Hope you're okay and getting more answers.

Hello to everyone else - here's some to help wake everyone up (though it's still a bit early).

Morning all!

Blueberry how are you doing today? Thinking of you

Fuzzy that sounds like great timing! Fx for you.

Kellz those dreams sound very frustrating, hopefully it'll be a reality for you soon!

Rainy sorry to hear you and your DH have been poorly. On the countdown to your holiday and then the clomid now, exciting times!

Genghis you were up early! Hope you're having a good day.

I've got three days of norethisterone left, last on Saturday morning. It's making me really irritable so I've been looking forward to coming off it but I'm a bit scared after ready blueberry and nomio's experiences!

Just popping on to reassure Magpie that I was on Norethisterone, on and off for about a year (no cycles at all!) and it was fine!. My bleeds were just like normal periods. Try not to worry- everyone is different.

Thanks eskimo!

Magpie i hope so!! Hope for you too. Also FX you will be fine after the Norethisterone.

Hey eskimo

xx

Morning!

blueberry sorry to hear about the endo. Hope you're feeling better now. What did they say about your kidney function? Could this affect your fertility or are they being affected by the endo too? Congrats on your award though

rainy that's frustrating that you have to take a break but it's better to be safe than sorry isn't it. I doubt you'd be able to properly relax and enjoy your hols with the thoughts of a miscarriage hanging over you. hope you're both feeling better now

Fx for you fuzzy!

Not much to report here. Cd5, temps are still sky high but I've been working very late so I've been taking them 4 hours later than usual. I've started taking soy isoflavones to see if it helps bring ov forward, not feeling any symptoms from them yet though! I thought they would turn me into a sweaty emotional beast but so far I just feel normal....! Fx they work, although I'm still feeling like I need a break this month, but we'll see how we feel in a couple of weeks.

Morning all

Thanks for the love and flowers!

So despite suspected endometriosis scan doesn't actually show any of that. Only thing they can find is an infected cyst on left ovary. But they said it's not big enough or scary enough to warrant surgery so just a case of pain management.

In some ways that's good coz I can go home soon. But in another way that's bad coz yet again investigations haven't actually turned up anything significant in terms of the cause of infertility or irregular bleeding (or the ridiculous level of extreme pain that showed up Monday). So I kinda feel like I'm back to square one again, just with a lot more pain to show for it!

Sucks . They need to do more bloods to check kidney function but if that's ok I'll be sent home n will need to follow up with GP to chase gyne (despite being here now...). What a process huh?!

Doesn't help that I woke this morning with migraine n have spent the day throwing up so far

I just hate how everything is just rushed through n they never seem to look deeper at cause. When I ask them they talk about referral to fertility clinic which of course I've been rejected from n then no one seems to have any more answers after that. So frustrated n feeling rather hopeless n sorry myself.

However, I guess there are things even in hospital that remind you to count your blessings. Overheard things from nearby room where it seems another lady has lost her baby late term. The most heartbreaking bit was hearing her partner tell whoever he was talking to (friend/relative) he was just letting her rest for a while and then saying 'I was really looking forward to being a dad' and bursting into tears. It's not often I hear grown men cry but gosh did that make my heart ache

So I guess there's always someone worse off...

Hugs to all xx

Blueberry i have no idea why you cant see the gynae while youre there. Hope everything gets sorted for you!!

Blueberry I'm so sorry you're still not getting answers. It's so frustrating for you. I hope you're at least getting some good painkillers. That poor couple in the room near you as well, how awful

DizzyN hope the soy helps, although not being a sweaty emotional beast sounds like a good thing!

How frustrating Blueberry Fingers crossed for good blood results re. your kidneys. (tragic about that couple )

Fuzzy great to hear you managed dtd on time! FX

Kellz Not long till OV...hopefully the pressed works its magic (well, you know what I mean!)

DizzyN good luck with the soy and fingers crossed the sweats stay away!

Magpie great that you've nearly finished the nor. and hopefully you won't have any side effects.

Hi Rainy that sounds frustrating but on the positive side, you're going on holidays jealous

genghis i get what you mean :) im hoping it does!! getting really fed up with TTC, so many pregnancy announcements on fb, i did it too with DD so im not gutted about that, im happy for them, just want my shot! haha. feeling woe is me today lol
xx

Sorry I've not been on much. Not been well and we only dtd once this cycle so absolutely no chance.

Blueberry I had endo (latest scans have been clear so hoping it's resolved). It is absolutely possible to get pregnant with endo. Mine was very severe but I went on to have DD and also managed to conceive a second time and although that pregnancy sadly ended in a mmc it was nothing to do with the endo. You will get the right treatment and you will also go on to conceive

Magpie I don't have any experience of norethisterone but fx you don't have any side effects. You've had enough to contend with and I hope things go smoothly for you from here on.

Dizzy good luck with the soy. Hope it helps.

Thanks for the birthday wishes lovely night and everyone else.

Hope everyone else is doing as well as can be given this ttc is a PITA.

Oh just read it's not looking like endo blueberry. Hope you get some answers. How heartbreaking for that poor couple

dizzy hope youre feeling better xx

Hope you feel better soon DizzyM You're right, this ttc is a serious PITA...I go through feelings of 'one day it'll happen..' to feeling very sorry for myself and wondering why me? Anyway, hopefully one day soon, it'll happen for all of us!

Am I being stupid? What's PITA? Xx

sammy unless I'm mistaken I believe it stand for 'pain in the ass'! In other words everyone is fed up with this shit!

After several days in hospital I agree. I say bring back storks for baby delivery and save us all this pain lol! Xxxx
