Destination conception ... route PMA.

[Hippychic79]

Ok so I am bravely attempting to set up a new thread for anyone tTC.
Plug in your stats ...
Share the highs of your journey
Limit the lows - yes it's a challenging time but being negative gets you down.
I'm thinking positivity breeds positivity and positive thinking gets positive results -
It may take some of us a little longer than others ... but does that matter? I think not.

New rules - instead of saying af due ... we say bfp due ...

So here goes ... my stats
Age 38
Cycle 3
Bfp due 14/02

Haha yes we do! We are going away on Sunday to Florence for 3 days 😍 It will be nice for a break an think maybe just what we need!

We fell first time with the mc. So now in 4th cycle I'm like why hasn't it happened yet?! But of course that doesn't mean anything. It's been hard & emotionally we are still trying to deal with it and guess that is affecting things. Trying to be relaxed as possible this month!

I think your right about the mind and timings, I wasn't really on board with ttc after we got married. Which is why it's not so bad for me now as I do believe I seriously lowered my odds of it happening previously, I mean I didn't even think of going to the doctor about it till recently. The doctor was actually quite encouraging saying I was still young and she's not overly concerned about the length of time yet but I could get a referral if I wanted, but I thought it'd be at least a few more months waiting and there's talk of my council stopping funding for IVF so I thought I best get in the system.

I hope your all proud of me for not POAS this morning! If anyone remembers I mentioned my mum kept staring at my belly last week. I'm off to see her again today so who needs a pregnancy test anyway when I can consult the mum oracle.

Anna I'm jealous about your getaway, love Italy! Hope you have a lovely relaxing time. I think chill out time def increases your bfp chances

Charley yes yes, I need a November baby ideally due to work. I won't bore you by explaining why again haha! December would be ok, I wouldn't mind that but it's when DH and I got married so I doubt he would be impressed having to buy christmas, wedding & birthday gifts hehe! Anything to avoid being on mat leave during July-August.

Anna I Looooove Italy. We went there on our Honeymoon. I would love to go again petrified of flying whoops. I am on Cycle 4 too and thinking wtf why isn't this happening. I am sorry to hear about your mc .

Well done Rose for not POAS! Lots of people have been staring at my stomach the past few days. No, I'm not upduffed I'm just bloated LOL .

Hope everyone is well this Sunday morning! 1 more week of work for me and then HALF TERM .

Half term this week for me - wahoo!
Still in limbo. Spotted again last night after dtd. Put a pad in overnight to save my clean bedding. Didly squat this morning.
Testing a week today if no af.
Boobs still killing - only wear a bra when I have to!

Oh I am so jealous MrsB! I feel like I am running on empty and I've still got 5 more days of it. No idea how I'd manage being pg either doing my job !
Considering your long cycle, could you test today?!

Yes we've been to Rome before so looking forward to doing a different part of Italy.

Fingers crossed it's nice and relaxing and it means it's our positive this month!

Morning Charley - yes a November baby would be perfect timing fx you're right that Mother Nature is giving us all another month to get to know each other :)) xxx
Anna - Florence sounds lovely and just what you need. Without sounding out of turn I think you should take the positive from the mc - your body knows what it's doing, it just want quite ready for that bean ... I'm sure you've been taking folic acid long enough now ... so your body will be ready for the next bean to stick ... fx this a good month ... would you do a Victoria n David beckham and call her Florence if you have a girl :)) xxx
Rose - very proud of you for not poas and completely understand why you're being proactive ... still I don't think you need to worry ... I've got high hopes for you this cycle ... will you be our first grad? Please don't leave us if you are xxx
Salem - thank you very much for the list xxx
One more week and you have your much deserved week off ... hang in there. Xxx
Mrsb - you are a hero having such long cycle and refraining from buying a load of ic's and testing every day .... thank you for dtd for all of us that have af and who's partners refrain at this time (like mine) ... had a shag happy Saturday night planned until the witch reared her ugly head .... that said it's kind of ok cuz it means ovulation will also be around the wk end and for me that equals a higher chance of dtd whoooo hooo :))) xxx

Good morning ladies!! Hope you are all well and are better than this weather!!

Salem that's fabulous thank you!!! I can see you'll be the lady to keep us all on track!!

Anna Florence is just as magical as Rome!! I just adored it and I find Italy such a relaxing safe place to be. I'm very jealous!! Xx

Good morning Sarah. Hope your ok? I was great until 5 mins ago when dp decided to pick an argument and storm upstairs in a strop ... it's our only day off together in the next few weeks and he decides to act like a twat! I love him very much but he can just be so selfish sometimes ... his family aren't from round here and a few wks ago I put them up for the wk end which as you can imagine put me out me massively (tidying up and had to sleep at my folks to accomodate them all) .... i ask him to pop up and see my nieces for half hour and he doesn't want to go .... Aibu!??? Ffs grrrrrrr - don't need his shit on top of af xxx

Ooo what's made him so grumpy?? If I were you I'd go and see your nieces on your own and let him stew at home on his own. He'll come round, must be his hormones!!

I'm good thank you, getting some practice in for my fertile week 😉 Cd10 today so I'll start opk testing tomorrow. Xx

@hippy i hope you don't mind my observation but i see loads of similarities between your DP and my ex partner. he seems the peter pan type, things have to be his way (or your way if you plant the seed and let it grow into his way), he's not on board with TTC but happy to have unprotected sex, you're AF but his moods take priority... feel like i just wanna give you a big hug as i lived with ex for 8 years - he never changed and his behaviour got worse hence why ex! did you say he was 42? men are sooooooo infuriating *making you a cyber coffee with the biggest piece of triple choc cake

Sorry to hear about your argument with DP Hippy. I would just go alone and leave him to stew, see how he feels when you get back. And if he doesn't apologise, give him hell!
(Just realised I'be xposted with Sarah!! Great minds!)
Sarah I thought you'd said Aunt Flo was just as magical as Rome!!!! Definitely NOT lol!!!

Well ladies DH is off to LA for a month (his office is there) in March and it coincides with FW!!!!!!!!!! So lots of pressure to get upduffed this month!

Oh I'm glad Florence is just as magical as Rome! And yes Hippy we certainly could name her Florence if it was a girl haha.
I had a blighted ovum with my mc and didn't find out until 13 weeks. So wasn't anything my body couldn't do,was just a fluke of bad luck so I'm sure next time we shall be fine. Just need to get that BFP!! Come on March! I'd be quite happy with a November baby. I'm a November baby 😊

Men always choose arguments at the wrong times don't they. Don't they know we're hormonal!

lol Salem no there is nothing magical about Aunt Flo!!! Apart from she turns up when she fancies half the time!! Xx

Thanks ladies .... we've made up now already ... shouldn't have ranted about it on the thread sorry. Yeah he's 42 in June ... but he looks and acts young and I like it ... im the same ... 38 and act and look younger (act younger than I look obviously :))) lol

Wow Salem - your dh is a high flyer ... I love LA ... only went for two days though ... fx this is your cycle mate xxx

Anna ... I'm praying for a whole host of November tots from this thread xxx

Come on ladies .... we got this xxx

Sarah - Aunt Flo would be magical if she abandoned us all for 9 months .... failing that she's an arse xxx

@hippy glad you've made up! sorry for drawing negative comparisons - i just felt such a connection to his strop with my ex - sorry again!

I'm having such a shitty morning - friends 11wk old baby has been hospitalised with terrible infection and my poor wee auntie passed away in the night (expected but noneless sad)

DH has reminded me the rugby is on at 3 about 5 times - i couldn't give a flying fcuk about the rugby but guess that's his way of saying he won't be going visiting with me... he has many lovely qualities but he's not the best in social situations where there's worry/sadness. he can bloody well watch the bloody rugby and ill go visiting my bloody self (ex. coming to mind again)

Awwww Bella so sorry to hear your double sad news
Don't worry - I thought nothing if it.
From my experience all men can be selfish ... just need to find And keep one who's loving and kind the majority of the time I guess.
Xxx

Sorry to hear that Bella.
So DH and I are going to be doing the SMEP this month, it has very high success rates - does anyone want to join me in this?!

What is it Salem?? Xx

It's the sperm meets the egg plan ... it is supposed to be amazing -
Sadly I can't cuz oh isn't fully on board ... but good luck ladies xxx

I think SMEP is DTD every other day from like CD 8 until you get a positive OPK. Then DTD for 3 days in a row. Then miss a day and once more for luck!

I've tried it for two cycles. Didn't manage it quite last cycle as I had OPKs for 4 days in a row so confused the shit out of me. I might try again this cycle but no luck with that for me so far. Annoying!!

Sounds a bit tiring if you ask me!! 😴😂 xx

Salem - I prob could test now but I hate seeing bfn and I had a 65 day cycle in October so waiting til I get past that number.
We kind of did smep as we were both offf work for 3 weeks over Christmas we dtd every day. Now back to Fri/sat/Sun as he works away during week. (We keep trying in af's absence!) My last af was 13/12 so living in hope I conceived over Christmas.
I'm a November baby so that would be cool. Dp a Dec baby and hates it. Would rather not have a Christmas baby.
FX for us all.
