Sounds good wifeof - fingers crossed! Sorry you've had a horrible few days Runtus - let's hope it's pg hormones eh?

I've just been to the Doctor to see if I can get some help with this ttc malarky. Have been trying since Dec '03 and with regular cycles, bd'ing on right dates, taking supplements etc. and just couldn't face leaving it to 'nature' any longer.

Was planning to use Geordie's advice and be 'informed but emotional'. Had worked out what I was going to say but thought I'd have to play up the emotional bit - actually found I couldn't stop crying especially when the Doctor was lovely and sympathetic!)

So, now going for blood tests on cd21 (currently cd7) and dh making appointment for sperm test...

Feel hugely relieved as fully expected to be sent away to keep trying with the totally annoying 'it takes time, you just need to relax' mantra ringing in my ears!

Bibi20 · 20/09/2004 14:05

Sorry Countess Dracula

sweetheart · 20/09/2004 14:26

BeckiF,

Perhaps the doctor will have something good to say tonight which will put you in a more positive frame of mind.

Wifeof, I'm around the same cd as you. I tested yesterday and got a BFN but still haven't come on. My cycles can last up to around 40 days sometimes though.

runtus · 20/09/2004 14:34

Sorry about the BFN Sweetheart, just not fair is it? Give it time, this could be your lucky month yet

I'm feeling loads better now, I think it's all the talk of the possibility og PG hormones. I know its a shot in the dark but hey, I can fool myself a for a couple of weeks!

sweetheart · 20/09/2004 15:12

I'm not too bothered about the BFN this month - to be honest it was expected as dh and I have been very slack on the bding!!!

I'm trying to keep a very positive attitude throughout this whole ttc business - I firmly believe it helps keep both your mind and body healthy - ALSO there's nothing worse than people who moan all the time and I'd hate to be one

Geordie · 20/09/2004 19:26

Bibi- glad to hear that things are moving... don't think the emotion bit is ever hard when ttc!! Even tho I've managed it once before..on cycle 1 of ttc another baby I already feel emotional. I sooo don't want it to take too long this time!

Let's hope that the bloods and sa are good results.

Why is it that the first thing my doctor asked ws "are you pregnant"? I RUDDY WELL WISH I WAS!!! Anyway, she had a good prod and squeeze and came to the same conclusion as I, that is that I have lumpy breasts and it's likely to be hormonal. She was reluctant to send me for investigations, but says if I'm still worried to go back in a month .... then asked how long since my last perios, I told her 12 months, and she asked th pg question again! Does she not talk to the multitude of hospitals I frequent?? Daft moo! Anyway, I guess that if it was anything untoward she would of sent me off for tests.

oh dear, doesn't sound like a very good Monday all round. Sorry your doctor was clueless, BeckiF. I'm in a minor fump tonight because my friend has just announced she's expecting her fourth baby (count 'em, 4!) - am feeling really mean because I am pleased for her but I'm feeling sorry for myself more. Anyway, CD12 today so perhaps I should get off MN and try and do something about it instead

ebbie22 · 20/09/2004 23:36

Heres hpoing tomorra is a better day all round...

MrsWednesday · 21/09/2004 10:06

Good morning, hope today is better than yesterday for everyone.

How did you get on at the doctors Twiga?

Did you do a test Wifeof? Sounds very promising.

My attempt at lots of bd over the weekend was pretty rubbish - we only managed twice and were both completely knackered by the day I thought I ovulated!! Does anyone get ovulation pains? If so, what are they like? I had quite uncomfortable pains in my lower stomach for a few hours on Sunday and I was wondering whether it was ovulation (or if I'd just overdone the bd).

So, is anyone else on the countdown to AF now then? I hate this part of my cycle, I am already starting to imagine symptoms...it's going to be a long two weeks.

Good luck to anyone testing today. Sorry your doctor wasn't more helpful Becky.

Where's your sister going Runtus? Must be really tough for you. I know how I'd feel if my sister moved away, I get twitchy when she goes on holiday!

sweetheart · 21/09/2004 10:13

Well today isn't much better in that I've only just relised it's Tuesday and not Wednesday as I have been thinking all morning - bummer!!!

I'm cd31 here and still no af - have had some cramping pains though so it can't be too far away.

mrsflowerpot · 21/09/2004 10:57

it's such a disappointment isn't it, sweetheart, thinking you're one day further through the week than you are - still not as bad as those Fridays you wake up convinced for a glorious split second that it's the weekend.

Feeling a bit more positive this morning, ds is being an angel and making me feel just so lucky to have him. Couldn't cope with 4 anyway!

I think I'm having ov pains today - do get them from time to time but also could be last night's curry . Trying not to read too much into things this month after setting myself up for disappointment last cycle. Happy Tuesday to everyone.

ebbie22 · 21/09/2004 11:05

A.f pains are coming already...how gutted i feel..I am on cd20..so going to be a long wk for me...Trying to eat healthier now and gonna tone up,or try to....Make myself feel a bit better bout myself...
How is everyone else feeling today..

Bibi20 · 21/09/2004 11:11

spotty

CP3 · 21/09/2004 11:41

Im on cd 23 so af due around Sunday i think. Im sure i didnt ovulate this month as no pains which i usually get and i wont cope with 3 under 3 so maybe not a bad thing. Had a really tough week with them so im not feeliong terribly broody at the mo. Still be dissapointed though if af does come. No signs of absolutley anything for me apart from a sour mood (usual for me at moment though as overworked and underpaid)

Good luck to everyone on here. Beckie sorry to hear about the docs, did they offer you a pg test or anything.?

MINNIE1 · 21/09/2004 11:43

ebbie22

MrsWednesday, The 2 wks wait is the longest, but keeping fingers crossed....

BeckiF, I had a lump in my breast about 3 yrs ago, doc sent me to the hosp.. turned out to be a "moving mouse" (weird i know) they did all the test and gave me the all clear.

Wifeof,
have you tested yet?

How are you all doing on ttc this month?

CP3 · 21/09/2004 11:57

Beckief i had a lump too which turned out to be scar tissue after a car crash id had. Good luck with everything

MrsWednesday · 21/09/2004 13:21

Bibi20 - also spotty here. I've got one on my chin that has changed the shape of my face. Sure you didn't want to know that....

Ebbie22 - every time I've been pregnant (four times now) I've had AF style pains but AF didn't arrive, so it's not all over yet for you. Fingers crossed.

How are you doing today Minnie1?

Wifeof · 21/09/2004 13:28

BFN but still no AF and still feel sick, so you never know?

Fingers crossed all,

Wifeof

Wifeof · 21/09/2004 13:36

Have just read down this thread a bit (should have done this earlier!)

I've had mild cramping pains since last Thursday but no AF. I usually get them for 48 hours before AF starts, but this is rediculous!

I even woke up last night with them and was convinced AF would be here this morning, but still nothing.

With DS I tested negative until cd33ish (had just come off pill so probably innacurate) and kept feeling like I was about to start. With DD I got a BFP on cd28 and had bought a test because I felt sick, so I should know the signs by now. But each of them being different makes me wonder what's going on now.......

Sweetheart - what are your pains like?

Feeling bemused!

sweetheart · 21/09/2004 13:57

they are not really similar to my normal af pains. I keep getting quite sharp stabbing pains across my lower belly.

I have been getting mild cramps but usually i only get cramps the day before af and they are really bad (to the point where i want to curl into a ball on the sofa with a blanket)

I have actually gone to the toilet a few times since Sunday thinking af would have arrived but it hasn't.

I don't think there is any chance i could be preg this month though - dh and i were so slack at bd!!!

I sympathise with the spot thing too - My skin is so bad at the moment, i actually have a Dr appointment about it tonight - my dh wants me to demand to see a dermatologist.

sweetheart · 21/09/2004 14:02

oh and i have a painful right boob (!!!) which i usually get around the time of af
