SQUARE ONE'RS TO GRADUATES! Morale & energy is low, but we will not be beaten, BFPs WILL be achieved in this here thread!

[Tee4me]

Roll call:

Tee4me: 34 years old
TTC: #2 since December 2015
DC: DS nearly 5 years old
x2 early MCs
Diagnosed with high level of activated NK cells with positive result for Antinuclear Antibodies plus Hypothyroidism.
About to embark on 1st cycle with medication (from ovulation).
CD7 and gearing up for FW!

Welcoming original square-oner's and any newbies battling along and in need some support x

Been quietly reading here. This whole process is a bit of a grind, but as long as there are tests to be done and remedies to be tried, there has still got to be hope, right?

Nothing much new to report here. We had a bit of a ludicrous day today. This w/e was the only time DH and I were in the same town for this fertile window. We tried to DTD this afternoon while we thought it was safe, and were nearly walked in on by my dad! So that was ignominiously aborted.

I’ve had only a faint line on my OPK (thank you again to those who put me on to this) and my CM is also making me think I may have already ovulated (sorry for TMI) - if at all - despite it only being CD12. I used to ovulate around CD16...

DH has finally gone to get a sperm analysis and once we have the results, I’ll start with the tests too...

Physicskate, if they find something that has been keeping you from falling pregnant, at least they can try and fix it, right? If they found nothing, would it not feel more disconcerting that you have not -yet - fallen pregnant? I can also imagine that it has felt a bit awkward at work... but hopefully your deputy head is adult enough to deal with it.

Hi everyone,
I’m still here and following your progress. Hope some of you still remember me.
Congratulations on pregnancies and very sorry about MCs.
I’ll be re-joining you from January cycle as we decided for a babi #2!
Kind of scary as our baby #1 is only 5 month! But because of my ancient age, we must get going. I’ll be 42 next April.
Some of you might remember that we TTC naturally for 5 months last year and did an IUI on the 6th cycle and it worked! We got this done back at home, in Riga. I just came back from Riga, took my baby daughter to meet up with my doctor who did the procedure. We both cried when she met my baby girl. She also did an US and could see my CS scar healed up nicely. I was mid cycle then and was ovulating, everything looked perfect to her. Apart from a tiny polyp which we hope will disappear itself. Anyway, she suggested 3 cycle she of natural TTC and if not successful, then back in the clinic for an IUI. But to remove the polyp beforehand. Sounds like a good plan to us albeit nerve wrecking. I’ll keep you posted and of course still here following your journey

Oh Russ!! It’s so lovely to hear from you!! That’s very exciting news and I’m so pleased for your plans!! Your baby is so beautiful!!

Cd 9 here. Not sure how many cycles it is now?? But hurrying up to 20 months ttc. Next appt 11th of December. No idea what happens then. Second clomid cycle going ok. Hot flashes have subsided. Starting opks tomorrow. No idea when I’ll ov though...

Thank you, Kate! Definitely rooting for you and your positive outcome!
I’m now back on Ovia fertility, tracking my cycles. Know they’re slightly shorter than before, and certainly can see when i ovulate without testing, ie mucus etc

Peregrine, did I see your good news an another thread??

I’ve just ovulated clomid cycle two... Dtd last night and every other day before that. Cd 16, so this is fantastic for me!! Liking these shorter cycles... not that they will help me get pregnant!

hello ladies
hope everyone is doing well and soldiering on . thinking of you all and hoping to hear some good news by Xmas.
glad to see little Russ.

waves @kate @tee @jam @foot @peregen

@durez @kiki are we there yet?

how are you @nim and @mama

Russ your baby daughter is gorgeous! What a heart-warming smile!

physicskate, that wasn't me. Coming up to one year of ttc without success. There are a few other posters with similar handles to mine. I promise I'll post here if I have good news :)

Hang on to that good feeling about the shorter cycles! Feeling positive in general can't hurt, right?

I’m still reading and hoping for good news from you all! It can be such a heartbreaking process but I’m glad to see determination shining through. Lots of luck to you all who have appointments coming up, I can’t wait to hear about BFPs.
DS will be one next month and he’s such a cheeky little boy! All going well he will be a big brother in March, I’m 22 weeks with DC2. I’m excited and a little scared about the age gap.
Thinking of you all I’ll still be reading!

Thank you, ladies. Little Russ is growing too fast for my liking!
Parney, good to hear from you. Wow, DC2 is on the way! How exciting!
Think we decided for a DC2 too. Very scared about such a small age gap if all goes well. It would be the same as my brother and I. Wish I could ask my mum and how she managed then. But sadly she’s no longer here.
Will carry on reading and hopefully you get your BFPs soon.

Hey ladies, just checking in to say hi! Still hoping to read good news from you all I haven't forgotten about you. I'm no longer trying. No longer with Dh. Kate/ jam/tee and Mimi you know why.. same old probs as before. Im ok, just sad about it all really.
I'll keep checking up on ya all 😘
With lots of love and best wishes to you all and everyone else on this thread xx

Aw foot!! Gosh it seems like a lifetime ago when life started getting crap.

Clomid cycle 2 has been a fail...

Hi Footy, nice to hear from you. Sorry about DH and not TTC anymore. Life is crap sometimes.
Physicskate, sorry to hear about your fail.
I’m still here and really debating whether to start TTC #2 this month

Wow, can't believe people are coming back with DC#2 on the way! Many congratulations all! I'm x2 years TTC DC#2 now. Have started Letrozole and Progesterone and also on steroids for an overactive immune system. Will be taking a break in January if no joy before then... I'm booked in for a hysteroscopy, hycosy and a hysterosalpingogram in January and anticipate feeling a little sore 😫
@Footy1 lovely to hear from you but sorry about your circumstances x
@Jamon hope all is moving forward with IVF?
@Nimisha often wonder how you are getting on?
@physicskate what's next for you?

@Mimilicious013 hope all is well lovely x

I am also hoping for good news for all!! physicskate, you have practically only just started the Clomid cycles, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that one of them will work out soon.

Footy you must be going through a difficult and painful time. I've looked up some of your older threads and hopefully you and your children will be living happier lives without your (soon-to-be?)exH.

I was about to start with a fertility MoT as DH had had his analysis and everything seemed to be in order. But my news are that we managed to squeeze in a rushed second attempt with DH in early November, and contrary to expectations it seems to have worked... I am now seven weeks with a little bean and had an ultrasound which confirmed a heart beat. Fingers crossed...

congratulations to you @peregrane . you must be over the moon. have a happy and healthy pregnancy hun

oh @foot, am so sorry lovely for what you are going through. be strong for the boys and hope you are okay. thinking of you and available if you need to chat.

hie @parney, wow you are almost there. how are you doing?

sorry @Kate, hope this is your month

hie @tee, how are you and how is your cycle going.?

@jam, how are you? any news?

Congratulations Peregrane!
Hope everyone else is doing well.

Thank you very much Mimi and Russ! I wasn't going to tell anyone in the family yet (other than DH, of course) but I've been feeling so nauseous and tired that I've had to tell my parents who were staying with us, and my mother-in-law whom we'll be visiting for Christmas. There'd be no end to the hurt feelings otherwise as I just pick at the food!

Just catching up on everyone's news etc...

Im back in work full time now so absolutely chaos at this end.

Hey everyone. Just letting you all know I am still here and checking back for BFPs on a regular basis...I will continually check as the day will come xx

Parney can’t believe you’re pregnant with second!! Congratulations. You will have your hands full but will be fantastic at the same time.

Foot sorry to hear about you and DH. Take care of yourself and your boys. I hope you will be happier in the long run xx

Jamón, tee, physics, nim and mimi - think of you guys a lot as we started out together ... love to all x

lovely to hear from you @radders, hope you and the baby are doing well.

popping in to wish you all a very merry Christmas. it's been a really tough years for most of us but we best be grateful for the gift of life. hope everyone ends the year with a blast and hopefully 2018 brings you all new blessings and plenty bfps.

lots of love. ...mimi

Hope you all had a nice Christmas and I know how tough it must have been for some of us.
AF arrived yesterday which is not that surprising as we didn’t DTD that much.
Baby dust to all of us in 2018!

Anybody home í½í²©? ??

hope everyone is okay.
