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

803 replies

coggy · 12/01/2007 19:38

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......

I'm starting tomorrow since I will have this bit of time how much I will get done though will be debatable when I also should hoover and mess around with the bedroom curtains - blackouts are falling down

Coggy, all the best for tomorrow. Hope you have more luck than it looks like I'm going to have this month as DH isn't co-operating here which is why I find myself on the computer at 23.00 on a Sunday night. Actually I meant to have my face on but I am so hoping it's your month that I can wait a bit longer for my month if you know what I mean!

pinkrangerstartstowaddle · 20/08/2007 09:01

Bugger, bugger, bugger!
My fourth (and final) IUI attempt hasn't worked ...AF came bang on cue today so that's it for several months now until I get lined up for one go at IVF around Janury time.

I will still lurk (of course)...and thank you to those faithful friends I have who keep checking up on me...it is VERY much appreciated and makes me feel supported like I couldn't really explain to many RL people.

Also I do appreciate the monthly poppers-on....you know who you are !!!
I wouldn't bother popping back until late January/early Feb now though as there really is no hope until then.

I MUST NOT wish time away....I need to find some useful things to do otherwise I will get frustrated and totally fed up that I can do nothing to help myself.

I generally feel fairly up-beat but every now and again I have to admit to feeling rather sorry for myself.....what an unfair dealing I seem to have had in the TTC stakes!!!!!

I REALLY didn't imagine that I'd ever have to have IVF.....it seems so serious IYKWIM.....I guess that I thought that I would fall pg again reasonably easily as a kind of compensation for what happened to my DS..........oh well.....I am VERY lucky that I am allowed to have this treatment on the NHS and it will be VERY exciting when the time comes.....so.....see you then.

So sorry Coggy.

I too never imagined having to go the IVF route - if it is any (not much I know) consolation, the process is not a bad as you might think. It is an emotional roller coaster .... but IUI seems to me too.

Hoping the new year brings good news.

I'm so sorry that you're feeling so disappointed. I wouldn't be at all surprised if you find yourself pregnant before January without any help at all. Lots of love x

newkid · 04/09/2007 20:34

Coggy I'm not one for virtual hugs and all that but I just want to send you a very big virtual hug.

Sexonlegs · 04/09/2007 21:51

Oh Coggy, I am so so sorry it hasn't happened for you and dh. I can totally see why you are disappointed, and you are very justified in feeling so.

I wish you all the best with the IVF, and look forward to some news in 2008. I will continue to think of you petal.

Lots of love to you. xx

ccpink · 05/09/2007 11:42

can't express how sorry I feel for you coggy. My rl bf has had ivf and is now 28 weeks preggers on her 2nd attempt. It'll be worth it.. Chin up. Lots of love -cc
