Trying to conceive...8

[Azure]

Come and join me in this new thread. I want a least one graduate per week and no ttcing to take longer than two months for everyone here!!

Stacey, what sort of dosage were you taking and for how long? I am very heavy and haven't had a period now for 9 months! How does that stack up against your set of circumstances? So pleased for you and utterley jealous too!!

Hi All, no such chance of taking it easy! still working 12 hours a day! bursting to tell people ho hum.

I feel completely shattered, but am not sleeping normally, obviously I didn't sleep Thursday night, with worry, Friday night I was at in-laws and couldn't sleep for excitement of telling DH, but Sat & Sun night still not sleeping properly, and I don't know why, I'm totally shattered, but seem to wake about 2 am, and every half hour after that!

Beckif I weighed 16st, and now am 14 st 6lb. started Metformin in April 04 so about 10-12weeks, taking 3 tabs a day 1500mg in total a day. I have been told to stop taking now pg.

Staceyk, its the excitement thats keeping you awake, I bet you feel like singing, "I know something you don't know, do dah, do dah, I know something you don't know do dah, do dah, day!!!!" I know you are dying to tell everyone, you can buy these pregnancy announcement cards from shops like WH Smiths, post them all to your relatives, 1st class and wait for the phone calls to come flooding in, saves the phone bills from being massive and that way everyone gets to know at the same time!! (well thats what we did)

Well today is CD21, had a bit of CM on Saturday, everytime i went to the loo, there it was, so Saturday night made dh his favourite meal, drank a bottle of red wine and the rest is history, spent allday yesterday weeding my garden, so in theory AF should come by 31/07/04. This is my 1st month off clomid, still taking Metformin though. What a nightmare, also waiting to see the Gynies at Leeds for IVF, got an appointment with my own Gynie at Dewsbury on Thursday morning, she is probably going to tell me she has written to Leeds for help (bet she thought she could tell me before the letter arrived), then to top it all off, have got a new job starting in Sept at my daughters school (I currently work full time, but they wouldn't let me reduce my hours, which is ok, I was going to be a home maker?, but knew I would be climbing the walls after a couple of weeks), so everything is going on at the moment and you know what, I'm just going to go with the flow, otherwise I'll end up not knowing if I'm coming or going, part of me still hopes that the Metformin will do wonders, like it did nearly 5 years ago when I conceived my DD, anyway that's where i'm at, and still

StaceyK so glad you have confirmed your status as graduate-of-the-week!!! Many congratulations. The wedding on Saturday was great and it was nice to be able to have something to drink. I've got Glyndebourne next Saturday, then it's back on the wagon. Piffleofagus - sorry to hear about AF.

Congratulations Stacey, it's great to hear your news.
Sorry everyone, it seems my postings ahve been repeatin themselves a bit over the weekend, which is very weird as I was in a tent on the Isle of Wight and nowhere near a computer....

congratulations, stacey! how exciting!

best wishes

Thank you all, still very nervous. roll on 18th August.
thinking of you all

Hi girls, feel a bit silly for asking this, but did anyone feel like I do and that is guilt for wanting to try for another baby so soon after my miscarriage. Its only been two weeks since my D&C, but getting pregnant seems to be all that I can think about!

My dh thinks that we should wait a couple of months before ttc again, as he thinks that the past 6 weeks have been so stressful that we need time to recover. I love him so much, but just want to get on and try again.

I would appreciate any of your comments

It is now just over 3 weeks since my d&c and I decided to get on with ttc as soon as that was over as, like you, all I can thing about is getting pg. I'm not sure it's guilt about ttc that I feel but I feel slightly guilty about not feeling like I needed more time to grieve after the d&c(although I was very upset when I found out I was m/cing) - I just wanted to get it over with, get on with trying for a baby and in some ways a sense of relief that although I was upset to have had a m/c at least I now know that I can get pg (as before I had been sick with worry that I couldn't)and some sense of positiveness in knowing that women are often more fertile after being pg so that maybe the chances of getting pg are better over the few months following the m/c. So in some ways I feel guilty about not feeling more guilty. But I keep telling myself that everyone deals with things in their own way and that when things like an m/c happen you need to look out for number one and not measure your reaction against how you think society expects you to react.

thanks for that lostinparis, I really felt guilty that I was thinking about the miscarriage all the time. I do get sad but the need to get pregnant again consumes me (in a good way) and that takes it all away.

I already have two DS to look after, so another baby was never in our plans, but since being pregnant, i realised that I wasn't ready not the have anymore children.

I keep trying to talk about it to my DH but he keeps saying the same thing that we should wait and even after cough the other night, he said we had to be so careful, whereas I wan't to throw caution to the wind, if you get what I mean (sorry TMI)

Thanks again hun xxx

Cobweb, I think I know what you mean. I had a D&C just over a month ago and I had the same feeling of just wanting to get over it and get pregnant again. I think I just want to get back on track. I feel like I 'should' be pregnant now.

I've been a bit confused about my feelings after the m/c and decided to take the hospital up on their offer of counseling. I thought I would grieve more and it's been useful having someone who can be objective about discussing the situation.

CONGRATULATIONS STACEYK!!! [SMILE] [SMILE] [GRIN]

I GOT MY AF ON SAT BUT I KNEW DEEP INSIDE THAT IT WASN'T MY TURN ~ NEXT MONTH FOR DEFINATE!!

GOSH I'VE JUST HAD LUNCH WITH MY BABY SISTER (19) AND GUESS WHAT NEWS SHE HAD FOR ME!! SHE'S PREGANT GOSH WHAT CAN YOU SAY??? BUT I'M WORRIED FOR HER AS SHE WENT TO THE DOCTOR WITH PAINS NOT HAVING A CLUE THAT SHE WAS PREGANT AND THEY SAY SHE IS 5.5 WEEKS PREGANT BUT IT COULD BE EPOTIC, ANYONE HAVE ANY INFO ON EPOTIC PREGANCIES??? HOPE SHE'LL BE OK. POOR GIRL IS ONLY 19, BUT IS GOING OUT "STEADY" WITH A GUY FOR OVER 1 YEAR NOW............... MY LITTLE SISTER....

Some of the dates of the posts here are out of whack, it makes it very difficult to tell who is due when. Are Aku, ChaCha, Tex111 and Bibi20 nearing the end of their cycles? Any news, girls?

Cyndii, sorry to hear about AF. If your sister has an ectopic pregnancy, then I'm afraid it's serious. The pregnancy would not be viable and she would have to go to hospital as soon as possible. Has the doctor sent her for a scan yet? Fingers crossed that all is ok.

Hi everyone, Hi Azure.
StaceyK, i was really excited for you when i read the fantastic news! Pls keep us all posted, you give me a lot of hope just in knowing that you too had been trying for some time Well done girl!

Azure, i think i am in the same boat as bluestar by the looks of things, CD7/8. I am desperate to get pregnant this year and i really hope that the road is not another long one.

DH's swimmers never seem to stay in long enough! I have to ask for advice here..I try the whole bum-pillow thing and the legs in the air but as soon as i get up...its all gone! Surely you cant get pregnant like that! Anymore tips.

Heres looking forward to some serious BD'g..

Hugs to all x

I noticed that some of the posts have gone funny and it seems to be happening on lots of boards. Hopefully it'll be sorted out soon.

I'm still waiting for AF but I know I'm not pregnant this month as we didn't BD at all! Pretty definitive then. So I'm hoping AF shows up soon so we can get started. On CD32 here which is very unusual for me (usually 28 days like clockwork) but they said the D&C could throw it off a bit. I hope I start soon as I'm really retaining water and feeling so bloated.

Cyndii, sorry to hear about AF but glad you're being philosophical about it. I hope your sister finds out what's going on soon.

Chacha, I wouldn't worry too much about DH's swimmers. The last time I got pregnant I actually got up and went to the loo immediately afterwards! That's one of the reasons we were so surprised when we got the BFP. I'd keep doing the bum-in-the-air thing just to make sure though! Good luck to you!

CD25 here but no idea how long my cycle is as I've only had one AF since coming off the pill (that cycle was 38 days). Thought I would test on Sun/Monday just to see whats what......

Hi all, still have not had AF, did a test on fri as i said and it was positive. I am not doing high kicks though as i was in the same position in May, got booked in, went for scan nothing - empty sac. I have never been so disappointed and ashamed in my life, so this time I am taking it easy. I have seen my GP, who has contacted the midwives. I will do another test - idon't know why but I just feel I should be doing something. Does anybody know if my GP may let me have an early scan. Tender breasts, but only been sick once. I am getting a bit paranoid - i think I will have been happier if i was getting sick every morning, being tired as hell and all that but I must say I am fine most days.

I just can't get excited yet. My period was due on the 12th so i don't know anymore what symptoms I should be having. I better get back to work!

Aku, you understandably don't want your hopes raised - but that sounds like very good news. I would have thought that the sad experience of an empty sac previously would have little bearing on a subsequent pregnancy. Doing another test for reassurance is a good idea, as is asking the GP for an early scan. With the other symptoms you are experiencing I think congratulations may be in order!!!

Aku sounds like great news, although I know what you mean about not wanting to get too excited, I tested positive last Thursday, and luckily I had early scan on Friday (8wks) but we've not told a soul, and not getting too excited need to have 12 wks scan before I can relax. I'm worried as my only symptom is tiredness (and think I always had that anyway) no sickness at all, which scares me. I'm sure your doc can arrange an early scan for you, if not try contacting early pregnancy dept at your local hosp.
Crossing my fingers that we are book worrying needlessly, and we'll both have little bundles in 9 months time. Keep us informed

Staceyk, don't worry about your sickness, mine kicked in at 13 weeks whilst 18 weeks and always from about 6.00 pm until the next morning, if and when it comes, you'll be wishing you weren't suffering, but you want this baby so badly like I did, so you put up with it. Everyone is so different in their pregnancies . You might be luck y like my sister and breeze through your pregnancy without any sickness.

staceyK - I had no sickness at all when i was pregnant with DS

StaceyK - a belated but very heartfelt congratulations. You give hope to us all! And to add to what others have said - the lack of sickness really doesn't mean anything, so don't worry.

Aku - poor you, I can understand why you daren't let yourself get excited. But it doesn't sound as though you have any reason to doubt that this pregnancy will be fine. I would definitely ask my GP for an early scan; not sure if they do them before six weeks but can't hurt to ask. I do hope you'll soon feel able to revel in our congratulations - let us know when you're ready to party!

Evening all, and how is everyone?
Aku, sounds like very positive news...

TEX111...really? Wow! Thats so good to know. Am about CD9, do you think i should BD everyday as of now or do the every other day BD? Do not want to miss a single chance....ohhhhhhh.

Hows Azure, BeckiF, Bluestar?
