Coggy's Catch Up........

[coggy]

It seems FOREVER ago that I was properly on MN and obssessively ttc!
Only 2 1/2 months ago but alot has happened in that time I expect (no.....sadly no bfp from me yet!!!)
I guess that Debbsy has had her Bibsy and maybe Peachy too......BooBoo next month.....lots of other BFPs??????
Natty, MrsMc and Trace have kept me with some of the news on here.

Here's a quick catch-up with me and what is happening.....
I am CD25 of a usual 26/27 day cycle with all the classic AF signs.....cramps, tiredness, wind etc. etc. (It's nice to be back!! )
I am starting IUI this next cycle so I am only a couple of days away from that and VERY excited and VERY nervous about jabbing myself too!
I figured as well as catching up with my old ttc buddies I could also moan and groan merrily away about it all on this thread and (hopefully) get a little bit of (much needed) sympathy at the same time!!!

I am SUCH a wimp really!!!!
Roll on CD1......

thrombophilia

Blimey....I only checked a couple of minutes ago......speedy typists that you are!!!

I shall read that link to thrombophilia thanks wannaBe.....obviously far to lazy to google myself!!!
Probably quite nice that you forgot to take your pills with you???
I suppose that way you can tell yourself that you aren't so bothered either way......we'll see what you're like in the dreaded 2WW!!!!!!

SOH....I thought you'd gone and had mini-SOH.....still witing for your email! I assumed as I hadn't had a reply that you were far too busy with other things.....

Hiya ladies, just dropping in briefly, as about to stuff dinner before the next feeding frenzy!

Thanks for your lovely messages re Katie, and SOH, hope your wee one makes an entrance soon.

Fingers crossed to the lovely Coggy, and everyone else who is still patiently waiting.

Lots of love

sorry for being so vague and thank you Wannabe for looking that up ? I have the Prothrombin mutation (G20210A, 5'UTR). Basically a blood clotting issue that can lead to recurrent miscarriage, stillbirth, low birth weights etc in pregnancy and increased risk of thrombosis the rest of the time. In pregnancy, it can be managed with aspirin and heparin and in the majority of cases pregnancy can be successful. Let?s hope I?m one of the lucky ones.

How exciting it all must be ShowofHands! can?t wait to hear that she has arrived!

Think I am 1dpo today Coggy so we can wait together!

Now...........doesn't Trace have something similar?
But I don't think she has the worry of m/c but I know she has to thin the blood to prevent clotting in pg...could be totally different...I am totally ignorant in these things .

So did you manage to get MrMc going??!!

Hey Coggy, how are you feeling about things? Not sure about what Trace?s exact issues are I think they were discussed before I started posting. Think we got a few lows, one good, one best and a few very lows on my chart this cycle so fingers crossed. Don?t feel that we have been successful though. My temps are only creeping up, not the best thermal shift.

To tell the truth...I feel a bit nothingy this month.
Got all excited and uneccessary the first cycle of IUI and found the 16 day wait almost unbearable!!!

This time is better because I am really busy at work but also I don't feel that it will work and I have had those wretched AF cramps now for days.
I know lots of people say that you can get cramps and a BFP but I don't really feel as if this month is it.

A bit fed-up but generally.....nothingy!

I do like that word...it describes my feelings today perfectly!

How are you doing with your news now?

Sorry you feel "nothingy" I think I know what you mean, I think that is how I feel too. I do really hope that it happens for yuo

The software has just changed my OV date to Fri from Thurs too so that means I have 1 BD at "best" and the rest "low" or "very low", hardly the best of odds

I'm ok with the news I guess, just wish I knew more about it but I guess I'll just have to be patient, specialist appointment could be ages away

Well you know what everytbody always says....it only takes one...and all that!!!!

I hope that you don't get too disheartened again trying...it must be an absolute PITA with the thrombothingilia as well.
Maybe you'll find it easier to get pg after treatment???
I hope so............

I have just checked my chart...I only do CM and note cramps, BDing etc.
DH cheered when I retired the thermometer...bless him...I think it was stressing him out!!!

My (limited) chart doesn't look any more hopeful than I feel as I have just compared this cycle with the first IUI and on both months I had crumbly CM on 7dpo and then today creamy CM on 10dpo so I guess I can now work out EXACTLY how many days til AF!
Bugger!!

Sorry for anyone who needed a TMI warning....but I know that MrsMc is well used to discussing my knicker watching obsessions over the many, many months!!!!!

Now that's probably TMI!!!!!!

no such thing as TMI! My CM is all over the place (well, not literally!) these days, I sometimes think I've forgotten what I'm looking for and when

Thanks for your kind words, I don't think there will be any treatment until I am pg though so don't think there'll be a mircale cure there, let's just hope that at least one found the way

hiya....
just wanted to say Coggy am thinking of you, fingers crossed, am really really hoping for you this month..To be honest, i think nothingy is a good sign!!! Means you arent overanalysing anything that might be going on so you will be more relaxed and if it happens it will happen anyway.
Stick with the nothingness!
Hi mrs mc....sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis...i was like the other ladies, had to google it but remember this is not the end its just the begining.
Some of our journeys are long and fraught...some are littered with tragedy and most with heartache.......but know this, we will all get to our own end eventually, and when we do,it will be at exactly the right time for us.
sorry i am trying to be inspiring. Didnt meant to sound like bloody Jerry Springer.
(((hugs to all))))))
btw , a lady on clomid thread got her bfp today after a 60something day cycle, lots of bfns, and a round of provera to tempt auntflow out!!!! Inspiration for us all
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks Pussycat I heard you. Lovely news about the Clomid lady

Think of you coggy - fingers crossed xxxx

Hey coggy: just popped in to see how you were doing. I've been babymooning. Thought I'd better make the most of the newborn bit as I may never get to do it again.

Jonny is lovely - I'm tired but happy.

So are you testing today? Read down the thread a bit and hope you're feeling more positive.

love Booboo x

coggy how's it going? only two days to go before testing now . am keeping everything crossed for you xx

Aw! Sorry to disappoint you ladies but AF came in the night....I knew it would come today as last IUI cycle was identical and I also went 13dpo before AF came.
I have only just got on the PC as I had to do a manic dash to the clinic so that they could check that I had no cysts on my ovaries so that I can start treatment again the in morning...................cycle three tomorrow!!!!!

Thank you for checking up on me.....it's nice.
I bet Jonny is gorgeous.....definitely make the most of it and spoil him lots and lots!!!

Hugs and big commiserations Coggy.....You seem to be taking it all on the chin, good for you honey.
Will cross everything possible for round 3.
Big hugs and lots of positive vibes...
pcm xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks PCM.....I am just SO glad that I managed to get to the clinic so it's all go again tomorrow...if AF had come tomorrow I wouldn't have been able to do it with the BH Moinday and all (need to be scanned CD1,2 or 3 otherwise it's too late.....a bit grim but definitely worth it!!!!!)

Had my depression last night over a bottle of wine (with a good friend) and a HUGE bar of chocolate as I knew AF was coming and we could see her next door neighbour bringing her new baby home through the kitchen window!!! , and ...today though is another day...and tomorrow begins another chance.

Yup.....chin is definitely up and high.

(Glad to read about you OV pains....HURRAH! Sorry to hear about the problem with aquiring sperm...think that's happened to most of us at some time or another!!!!! .....performance anxiety I believe!!!!!)

...well obviously the baby wasn't being brought through the window....you understand????!!!!!!

Coggy - been checking this thread all day. it didn't happen this time round but fingers crossed for you this coming month.

LOL at baby being brought through window .

I do understand my love
Really glad you able to be so positive, you are so gonna luck out one day sweetie, and when you do, you are gonna have the biggest congrats thread when you announce it here.
Am really not sure if the "ov" pains were actually ov pains, but it wasn't as bad as last month, much slighter but still significant. Who knows? We shall wait and see. btw did you catch up on the 10ibs lighter thread????? Go see! Go see!! (smug emoticon) I am faaaaaaaaar too busy attempting thin-ness to worry about a tiddly little thing like conception! .......
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well done skinny PC!!!!!

LittleEgg...thank you.....that is very sweet of you.

How are things coggy?

Coggy, what a bugger - sodding af. You sound vey upbeat though - good on you.

Hi PCM, hope you are ok.

All ok here, although I think me and lo have had a bit of a tummy bug, so feel a bit pants tbh. Hey ho.

Take care all and I'll keep checking on you all.

Any news from SOH btw? xx

Boo hiss. Boo hiss.
