Just thought I would pop back to see how you are all doing and so glad I did.

Genghis congratulations.

Sammy wow such great news Congratulations. Fx for a super sticky bean for you. Just try to get plenty of rest. Squee so excited for you.

dizzyn to answer your question from ages ago (only just had a proper chance to read back rather than skim)..... My HSG was on the nhs. I had the diagnostic tests so blood tests, HSG and initial ultrasounds done on the nhs (and dh had the sperm analysis done) but had to switch to private for the actual treatment. Its a bit of a post code lottery as to how they do this stuff and what they do...

Genghis Oh my goodness congratulations!!!!! I know having a week or so off i would miss something!!!! My tests also didnt get dark dark until i was about 7 weeks. When will your due date be

Sammy Congratulations to you too, i had bleeding a few weeks back and so far baby is ok, i hope it calms down for you

Hope everyone else is well need to go back to the other thread to start catching up properly.

Was off work with DD for a week then she got a bad ear infection then chicken pox, just everything at once! so i have a wee spotty kiddo xxx

Thanks Magician and Kellz! Kellz you seem as shocked as I was . I think, fx, that the edd is 28th March. I hope your DD is feeling better - it must have been a hard week for you all!

Genghis Im just super pleased for you!! i miss all the good bits when i had a few weeks off lol. Ahh time will fly in!
Shes getting there now, thank god the pox had scabbed so childminder had her as soon as she was back from holiday, but the spots only came out end of last week so wasnt expecting her to heal so fast, but shes a super healer. Im just glad ive already had them too!! and it was now and not a few weeks when we go on holiday lol

xx

DizzyN ooh hope the house move went well. The appointment sounds positive. Hopefully not long now until your BFP

Genghis how are you feeling? How did your DP take the news? Have you had the blood test at the doctors as well now?

Kellz your poor DD, and poor you!

Sammy I hope the bleeding has stopped now.

DizzyM how's things??

I've not been loving this heat! I seem to be in the minority though. I was clearly designed for cold climates.

Magpie

Shes getting there now! but im still exhausted from it!

How are you keeping?

I hated the heat too but i think it was more because i was stuck inside lol

xx

I hope everyone's having a lovely weekend?

I'm happy to read that your dd is on the mend Kellz, and good news that you'd already had them - must be a relief.

Magpie I was reading about your hot weather last week - I hope it's starting to cool down for you. I'm also not the biggest fan especially when it's really humid as well! The blood test went fine thanks and I see the doctor again on Tuesday - gulp.

How's everyone doing? DizzyN I hope the unpacking and moving in is going well? DizzyM I hope family life is getting back to normal after your DD's illness? Rainy hope you're okay? And hello Boris, hope you're well?

Kellz I'm doing a lot better than I was in those first few weeks thanks! Glad your DD is doing better now, not surprised you're exhausted.

Genghis the humidity is the worst. At least I live on the coast so I get a cool breeze. Hope your doctors appointment goes well, is it starting to feel real yet?

Genghis Yeah it was lucky!! DH hasnt had them but hes a carrier so wont get them.

Magpie Im glad youre a lot better!! I still am and get DH moaning about it, so hes annoying me lol

Hope you all had a lovely weekend, I was at a family BBQ on Saturday which was lovely except not getting to drink lol. I never normally mind about drinking, but when you know you cant it makes it worse lol.
Sunday i was at EPU again after a bleed on Thursday. But baby is fine, looks like a baby now, was sound asleep but healthy so thats the main thing

xx

Kellz am really glad all was well - it must have given you a fright!

No, Magpie, it doesn't feel real at all though this morning I got to see it at my appointment (sorry if that's inappropriate for a conception thread). Thankfully but not really we're still having loads of drama with our wedding paperwork (this has been going on from January!) so that has kept me busy as I go between embassy and town hall ad nauseam. I nearly feel I should invite the woman from the marriage office in the town hall I've seen her so much!

I hope everyone's having a lovely week.

Genghis I can't believe you're still having problems with the marriage paperwork! What a nightmare! It is good to have distractions in the early stages though. Have they scanned you already then?

Kellz sorry about the bleed but glad everything is okay.

How's everyone else doing?

Genghis I can't believe you're still having problems with the marriage paperwork! What a nightmare! It is good to have distractions in the early stages though. Have they scanned you already then?

Kellz sorry about the bleed but glad everything is okay.

How's everyone else doing?

Oops double post, sorry!

Genghis it did hopefully baby behaves now. I felt guilty my scan going well as my best firend went in on same day and hers wasnt good news.

Aww thats good!!

Shame about still having problems with your paperwork! as if wedding planning wasnt stressful enough lol

Magpie how are you?

xx

Congrats Sammy I am so so happy for you and hope the bleeding has stopped!

Also congrats Genghis :)

Hope everyone else is well.

Congratulations Sammy got my fingers crossed no more bleeding, so excited for you, you have waited for so long xx

Genghis congrats to you too, fantastic news to read!!

Oops I've missed two bfps!

Massive congratulations genghis and sammy!

Just popping in quickly but will check back later.

Off to GP's for my 'cd21' bloods......

So I went in today to get cd27 bloods taken. Doctor said cd27 instead of cd21 based on my average cycle length. Except it's actually cd25 today .

Firstly, my chart isn't great this month so I'm not even convinced I've definitely ovulated, but FF has awarded me a solid line. Then secondly, when I booked bloods they couldn't fit me in until next Tuesday which would have been 3 days before Af is due! So I rang today and got a cancellation (and decided to take it rather than risk there not being one tomorrow or Friday).

Does anyone know if this will be ok? I figured 2 days early would be better than 4 days late?

Next problem is that cd3 will fall when I'm in Spain, so problems with getting those bloods done too! Dramas!

How is everyone else?

Nice to see some 'oldies' popping in to say hi!

rainy how's things with you?

kellz you shouldn't feel guilty, I'm sure your friend wouldn't have you feeling like that. What happened with hers?

dizzym how are you?

magpie I hope the cooler rainy weather is suiting you better! Although it's still bloody hot when the sun comes out!

Oh, for those who asked, I'm settling into the new house well. I absolutely love it here! There's a few minor things left to do but the place is otherwise looking great!

Hello I'm on holiday this week having a lovely time camong.

rainy waves lovely to see you.

dizzyN I'm not sure re bloods - purdey might know - shes on facebook still. they are looking for a rise in progrsterone I think so they would need to know that you were early and it might not have risen as much as they would expect.

Hello to everyone else - sorry not got more time to catch back up.

DizzyN I would let them know how many DPO you were, especially if the results aren't as expected. I hope you get the CD3 bloods sorted, how far either side of CD3 will you be away? I'm enjoying the weather being cooler. My living room tends to stay pretty cool so I've been indoors a lot glaring at the sun out of the window. Standard summer for me

Boris I hope you're having a great holiday!

Kellz really sorry about your friend! I'm not bad thanks, I've been trying to potty train my DS today, so that's been stressful and exhausting.

Hi Boris and Dizzy we have not been trying for the last couple of months, we are still dtd but not really making an effort to when in my cycle, just felt so disheartened with it all, i am back at the hospital on friday, so will see what they have to say , but on the plus side i had a 28day cycle which is a first in nearly two years, felt so privileged

hope you are all ok, hoping when I'm back from my appointment it will give me the spark i need to get back into focusing on it

Thanks boris, the nurse did write down dpo but I'll make a note of it so I can discuss with the doctor.

magpie cd1 is on a Friday, they don't have appointments for this sort of thing on a Saturday, then cd4 is on the Monday but my flight is at 6am! I'll just have to make sure that I can do cd3 the following cycle, although my long cycles mean I'll only have one more opportunity for it before going back for my follow up. Glad you're able to stay cool! The U.K. Just goes crazy in the hot weather doesn't it! Nothing wrong with staying indoors, there's plenty of sunshine to enjoy at cooler times. Spain is going to be hot when I go! August wouldn't have been our first choice but we just had to go when DP's kids were available.

rainy I would be thrilled if I had a 28 days cycle so I know exactly how you feel! We've not been putting in much effort either. Last month we gave it a real go with perfect timing so we were both so disappointed with bfn as always. This month we only did it once 4 days before ov supposedly happened. We were so knackered with moving house but it was partly through to lack of interest. I'm more interested in getting answers from the doctor at the moment, I've pretty much given up on the idea I might actually get a bfp.

Which reminds me. I got babybombed by my sis last week. I knew this was going to happen. Her current situation is so far from ideal. I'm not upset about it, and my nephew will be thrilled, but I'm just disappointed that she seems to fall pregnant so easily and gets to bring a child into the world when do and I have the perfect setting for a baby, big house, financially and emotionally ready, yet we get nothing. It makes no sense.
