Trying to Conceive....7

[ChaCha]

Well you never know, might get lucky!!
Good luck everyone....here we go!

LOL, just read my 'having a fun'. The old Hispanic coming out in me, LOL.

You are right ChaCha, everyone seems to be in god spirits today, I'm hoping it's a good sign, you know positive vibe and all that.

Wishing you all a lovely "positive" weekend

Lots of babydust all round

+==-++++++*-

Obviously I meant Good spirits and not God spirits! Sorry if my blaspheming caused offence

How lovely to end the week with people feeling up-beat. Have a great weekend everyone.

Feeling fine yes I am but am interested to know if any of you know about this pain??! Off the see 'HEART' at MEN Arena tomorrow night, what a blast!!

Sorry Beckif can't help you re: pain, I'm still interested in why Bluestar has to wait to bd? Am I wrong bding every other day? unless af?? Someone help me please this could be my weak link!

Doing it every other day is fine and dandy! In fact that's best for optimum sperm production and quality! Means you'll also not miss if you get caught by surprise by ov! I think some people just do it when they need to!!!!

Sorry, can't help with the OV pain. I think Bluestar meant a long time until she is likely to ovulate again. BDing every other day is the best approach, if you've got the energy - I know I don't!

I sure find 'the every other day' hard when i'm travelling to and from work every day and having to work from home at times too. Sometimes, it comes down to BD'g when i think ovulation is due as both of us are whacked and often not home until late.
Have tried a different technique for the past few days though and it seems to be working - am going back to that 'enjoying us' stage.

Am away (Bd'g in new territory) for the weekend so have a good one! LOL (Weekend that is

Staceyk, sorry to be confusing! I usually equate bding to ttc at the time around ovulation, not that I don't have sex at other times. If I ovulated on CD26, then I am just starting the 2ww and following af, I will then be waiting a possible 4 weeks before I would be close to ovulating again which is forever away. Hope that makes sense!!

In fact, my temp went the highest ever today and chart certainly looks like a CD26 ovulation, however, I didn't have any other signs that indicate this, whereas, I have had cm/ov pains at 2 different times in my cycle so who knows what is going on! I do not plan on testing again for a while unless I start to get some obvious signs that I could be pregnant. At the end of the day, if I am pg, it will show up eventually or dear old af will make an appearance.

Glad to see everyone is quite cheery

AF arrived this morning and surprisingly I am not disappointed. I have been doing some serious thinking lately and feel it is time for me to concentrate on the 2 children I have got instead of being the nasty witch of a mother, who looses her temper at the drop of a hat because she's feeling hormonal.

I'm sure I may change my mind at some stage as I so frequently do, but for now I am not going to let TTC take over my world.

Of course, I shall keep you posted if my thoughts change, I wish you all, all the luck in the world.

owwwww!!

i have stabbing pains on my left side, think i'm CD14, could this be ovulation. it blinkin hurts. maybe i should go and jump on dh.

Gold123, sorry to hear about AF . Misdee, I've never been aware of ovulation pains, but sounds like your DH is in for a nice treat .

Hi CD13, had 2 ultrasound this morning, 1 big follicle just sitting there, with loads of little ones just hanging around, maybe this big one will do something this month, currently taking 100mg of Clomid for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, last month the Clomid didn't work, only had 3 follicles (v small on left ovary and 2 on right), today numerous amounts on each one, but only 1 growing. Wish me luck. Consultant I saw this morning said have sex every 2-3 days from now on (wink) Good luck everyone.

Sounds hopeful Malinki - lots of good-luck wishes flying your way!

Thanks for clearing that up Bluestar I started to panic thats where I was going wrong. I did warn you all I'm a complete novice when it comes to ttc.
malinki I know even less about Folicles, but wish you lots of luck.

Good luck malinki!

I've had OV pains as well misdee so I can symphaise! Doesn't happen every month but I just a stabbing feeling around either the left or right side which I assume to be OV as it only happens on the day of the positive OPK.

Had my blood tests this morning. Nurse was very good (apart from telling me "perhaps it is because you need to have more regular sex..every day perhaps!!" which does kinda fly against what every book tells me!). Anyway after two attempts she got the blood (I have very delicate girlie veins she said!). Next bloods are taken on day 3 of next cycle which should be next Monday. Got a test kit for DH which he has to get to the lab within one hour so that will be a laugh! Made appointment for doctor for next Friday when all the results should be in and we can see her and sort out the referall. So at last I see something concrete happening and can look forward to seeing the consultant mid July I would expect.
Hope everyone else is well and coping in this hot weather!

Must admit I'm really struggling at the moment, It seems everywhere I go there are pregnant women! I feel guilty and obsessive, but I can't help thinking why not me! Especially as lot of these women have several children hanging off them already! I don't wish to offend as I know many of you are ttc#2 but I feel it must be easier (maybe wrong choice of words) when you know your body is capeable! I'm at a real low point at the moment, where I think it will never happen for me, just everyone else around me. I wish I could just stop ttc or stop it affecting my thoughts/life so much. Any advice? If I haven't offended you all?

I'm not offended..but it isn't easier .. because you think my body has done it before..why can't it do it again!? I know what you mean though especially on how if affects your life..I wish I could stop thinking about it for just one day as it is always there in my mind and that in itself is draining

Hi futurity I guess you're right it's more frustration for you. Think I'm more scared than frustrated, what if it never happens?
I don't know about you but I haven't told anyone I am ttc, so it's only me and dh, and I try to hide my fears from him, I don't want him to know I'm thinking of it 24/7. I want to pretend I'm not, to myself as much as anyone. I am trying to be positive and enjoy the rest of my life, in a what will be will be manner, but it's so bloody hard.

My problem is that everyone knows I am TTC! I opened my big gob back in November about it so now they are all going through it with me. Not helped that since then 5 friends have all got pregnant! I find I have to tell DH my fears or I will go mad wizzing around in my head and going through it alone. He helps to rationilise those fears and gets me to calm down when I get too worked up. So maybe it would help you if you did speak to him about it?

On a plus point for me I booked the consultancy appointment today! I just phoned up to check how I go about it after I see the doctor for the results. Was told I could book the appointment now and cancel (for no charge) if I needed to (ie if referal not needed for any reason). So there was me thinking it would not be until mid July and it is now 5th July! Horray! Really pleased about this as it means any treatment will be able to start that cycle rather than in August which I was expecting

everyone knows we are ttc as well. my younger suister keeps saying 'are u pregannt yet?' er if i was i'd tell u. i dont know about the difference between ttc #1 or #6, the fact is we are all trying. and considering dd2 took one go makes me more frustrated.

hi all

i,m chrissey 31 from b,ham just started trying for baby number 2 have a daughter 25mths just had my implant removed only 2wks ago so dont expect much 2 happen yet

tc all

I do hope I didn't offend, and I'm certainly not trying to compare upset or frustrations, we all have our own problems, and different needs, and ways of coping.
I find this site of such help, even when just lurking, really helps to know there are people in the same boat.

Wishing everyone lots of babydust xx

CD3 - officially ttc this month!!!
AF took me a bit by surprise as it was only 10 days after I think i ovulated (egg white...), which has never happened before, but it was the first month after stopping the pill so maybe that's why? I've told dh we've got to bd every night for a fortnight from when AF stops! The Robert Winston book reckons the more often you bd the better your chances, he disagrees with the every 2/3 days theory. Dh is not complaining!!! Although am currently considering stopping the day I expect to ov in a half-hearted 'trying for a girl this time' manoeveure - don't know if I'll bother in the end though. I'm certainly not commited enough to the idea of 'one of each' to try douching with vinegar - yuk!!! V. excited now about the prospect of ttc again. Dh said the other day how pleased he'd be if it was twins (which run in my family) - I told him he was mad, we couldn't afford it, but it did give me a nice warm feeling that if he is pleased rather than terrified at the idea of twins he MUST be feeling positive about having a second baby! Just hope it happens now...reading all your stories of ttc for so long is certainly sobering. Good luck this month everyone!
