Hi everyone. I joined Mumsnet yesterday and have been reading through all your messages about ttc. DH and I are ttc2 although we´ve been a bit casual about the whole thing -although we´re taking vitamins & I´m trying to eat healthier.

I can´t remember who it was but I gather one of the signs that you´re ovulating is a stitch-like pain in one side - please can someone confirm that for me.

Nice to meet you all. Will be popping in and out of MN as the only computer I can use at the mo is the one at work.

wheelybug · 24/04/2007 15:17

Hello all - I'm back - have had yet more pc ishooos - a broken power cable but now have a new one - hurrah just in time for the obssessive time !

Waves at Meto - hellooo cycle buddy. CD14 IIRC. I have longish cycles so OV late-ish so dh has been informed he is to report for duty from this evening until told to stand down . Happy anniversary for tomorrow ! I realised last night that dh has a big work dinner thurs night so its unlikely we'll do the necessary then. Am intrigued to know who you are....

Congratulations Bbabymumma. Great news. How long you been trying if you don't mind me asking ?

Imawurzel - Any news on your unusual AF ?

Soph73 - welcome and yes, ov pain is like a stich usually on one side. HTH !

Hello Awen - hope AF arrives soon, and good luck with next cycle of clomid.

tigerschick - its a really bummer when people announce being pg isn't it - I've probably moaned about it enough on here but I currently have 11 friends expecting .

waves at mrsmc - and grrr at your boss.

hello everyone else...

wheelybug · 24/04/2007 15:18

Meant to start a role call so here goes..

Wheelybug CD14 - OV.. anytime in the next 5 days !

meto · 24/04/2007 15:23

hello wheelybug - once i'm finally pg and RL friends know i'll tell everyone. it's just ther'es a lot of RL friedns/people I know how come on here (i've only jsut found out tbh) and want to limit the personal details as much as possible. yes CD14, still no 'o' for me - I was so sure it would have been yes/today but nothing (had loads of EWCM on 12/13 but nothing today we shall see.) to give you a hint - but don't say the name! you'll normally find me with the beanies.

hello soph hope you're not with us for very long

scorpio - you just go ahead and rant away chick, we don't mind.

can't wait for the 9th may now - I somehow feel this month's been wasted so can't wait to start on next (even thou i'm only half way thru - it's sort of well if there's no 'o' then what's the point )

meto · 24/04/2007 15:23

Wheelybug CD14 - OV.. anytime in the next 5 days !
meto - CD14, - OV ??? (should have been by now )

scorpio1 · 24/04/2007 15:31

Wheelybug CD14 - OV.. anytime in the next 5 days !
meto - CD14, - OV ??? (should have been by now )
scorpio CD5 OV around 03 may

wheely- 11 ?!

goingfor3 · 24/04/2007 15:44

Well I may as well give up now, my GP told me I am infertile!

I went to see her today as I wanted some prescription only peseries for thrush. I told her we were TTC and had been for 5 months. I told her that in the past I got pregnant first time round and that my cycles are a bit irregular. She said that due to the fact that it hasn't happened quickly again I am probably infertile and because my cycles are irrregular I am infertile and not ovulating. She told me to carry on for a few months, but I will not get pregnant because I am infertile, and then she will look at my cycles and do some tests.

I don't feel upset I just feel annoyed with her!

wheelybug · 24/04/2007 15:44

yeah Scorpio - 11 , and one is expecting twins so that makes 12 babies.

I think that comes with the territory of being in early 30s and having made a fair few friends who have children the same age as my dd (2 and a bit) so lots of people going on to number 2.

Think of all the presents I'm going to have to buy .

back at meto - ok, will stop trying to guess, as its not fair... wanders away pondering...

scorpio1 · 24/04/2007 15:47

goingfor3 - she is not allowed to make such claims without evidence! that is unreasonable. hope you are ok.

wheely - yay baby clothes shopping!

wheelybug · 24/04/2007 15:50

goingfor3, that is a shocking attitude from your gp.

If she really thinks you're not ovulating she should offer to do some blood tests now.

I have conceived twice very easily (lost 2nd pg) but now struggling to conceive a 3rd time, as soon as I went to docs they did blood tests/scan to check if I was ovulating. I was told that they wouldn't refer me yet for anything further if these show clear but at least they would do this.

GRRRRR on your behalf.

goingfor3 · 24/04/2007 15:54

I would like to think that if she guineuinly did think I wasn't ov'ing she would send me for test and not just repeatong on as many ways as she could that I was infertile. If I didn't have a three year old on my lap and in my face saying 'I need the toilet' I would have been more assertive. I will see what my af does this month and next amd then go and see a different doctor.

tigerschick · 24/04/2007 16:20

That is terrible treatment by your gp, goingfor3. I really think you would be right to go back and see a different doctor. I used to go to a surgery where one of the female doctors was useless in the extreme. The others were great. If you have a choice then definately use it. Hope she hasn't upset you too much.

Wheely - And here I am feeling sorry for myself about 2 friends! I think it's worse because 1 of them said just before Christmas that they weren't going to try for any more dc for quite a while as she was going back to work. I was kind of expecting the other one to as she made no bones about the fact that she wants another one soon. Ho hum.

Scorpio - you OK, sweetie? Rant away if you need to.

MrsMcJnr - sorry your boss is being difficult. That is one benefit of being a sahm..!

Hope everyone else is having a good afternoon.

goingfor3 · 24/04/2007 16:23

Now that DD2 has started sleeping through the night I will start temping to reassure my self. I will do that next cycle. I'm fairly sure that I do ovulate as I get ewcm and sore boobs around ov and at that time I also get a + on opk's, my hormones must then be doing what they should.

Bbabymumma · 24/04/2007 16:27

Wheely - had been trying since dd turned 1. Now slightly grateful that the gap will be bigger. Had got pg straight away with 1st so thought it would be easy. Am still very very anxious, cautious, nervous!

Goingfor3 - in that case I am infertile as well. Seriously which planet do gps come from? They earn £100k to just be rude and stupid.

Good luck ladies.

scorpio1 · 24/04/2007 16:29

tiger- thankyou sweets its just alot of things at mo really.sometimes i find it very hard being a step parent-the mother is very demanding and we give her alot as it is.her new bf has to work down here for weekend so she is coming down too.we are having dss all weekend.as well as my 2.last time she was down i was 35 weeks pg and she kicked up holy f**k,dp had to go sort her out.i ended up in hospital with high bp.i just have bad memories of last time.me and her have known each other since we wee 15-no love lost ever,worse when we had kids in common.of all people!dp is always working or out with his new best friend-i reckon about 4/5 nights im home alone.i just want a bit of help or for him to take me out, y'know?

sorry!

goingfor3 · 24/04/2007 16:29

Bbabymumma - It's good to hear an infertile person got a BFP! Congratulations!

Bbabymumma · 24/04/2007 16:39

thanks goingfor3. Silly gp. honestly! you must go back and see another.

Scorpio1 - no chance you can go away with your 2 at the weekend? - family or somewhere else. Sounds like she's a nightmare!

goingfor3 · 24/04/2007 16:41

How long did it take you to conceive?

scorpio1 · 24/04/2007 16:41

nope,i have to stay here!

Lexie100 · 24/04/2007 17:50

Scorpio - When you went to the Dr about no AF but getting BFP's did she suggest anything else apart from your aniebiotics? I'm now 7 days late and BFN? Any idea what's going on?? Anybody got any suggestions.

Lexie100 · 24/04/2007 17:51

Sorry going mad i meant BNF's

Lexie100 · 24/04/2007 17:51

NO i didn't BFN...aggghhhh stress

Imawurzel · 24/04/2007 18:30

Hello all.

Still no sign of AF!!
Does this make me on CD6??
I really hope it's nothing bad.
Roll on the weekend!!!

scorpio1 · 24/04/2007 19:39

Lexie - firstly the stress of wondering where it is will do something to you! change in exercise, diet, another female of menstruating age living with you (who normally doesnt),stressful events-moving,death,etc.

a menstrual cycle is so dependant on many factors working in harmony.maybe you ovd late, or something has happened to make your lp longer this month.

stop testing - if you are pg now you will be pg in two weeks time - try again then.it may be the stress of worrying where it is but bfn that is making it stay away.after doc told me this i let it go in my head and af arrived next day

HTH ?
