Take care

TLSM - sounding good Good luck with the scan xxx
jacobandlysette - can't remember if I congratulated you yet? Congrats if I haven't!
sweetkitty - hello Glad you are almost ready to start again!

Well, I'm no longer knicker watching. Period finally turned up this morning!!! I shouted to dh 'FINALLY!!' and was quite relieved as I just knew I wasn't pg (once I knew I had cystitis and it explained my symptoms). I'm feeling better about things now as this is my first natural period (i.e. not pill) and I'm less worried about this early menopause now however still going to talk through with the Dr so I can understand it all more.

libralady · 23/08/2007 09:39

LT Sorry but gald (iykwim) that the witch has finally turned up. You must be relieved. Have a good chat with your Dr like you say, and then you can get down to soe serious bding. Hope it goes well with the Dr. Is it Today or next Thursday (I can't remember there have been so many posts

libralady · 23/08/2007 09:39

I did mean to say glad I must cut my nails........

looneytune · 23/08/2007 09:52

Hi libralady Yes, I am relieved as if I was not getting period but still got BFN's, I'd be worrying more and more about this menopause thing. The Dr's should be NEXT Thurs, need to book after midnight on Tue as that's when the appointments are released. Going to set my alarm but I may be up anyway (got a baby and toddler staying for overnight care again so going to be busy)

libralady · 23/08/2007 09:58

LT
Just seen your pics. Your little boy is lovely.

looneytune · 23/08/2007 10:04

Ah, thanks I go mad with photo's but it can be quite hard to find good ones with him on his own (as usually with mindees and can't post pics of them on here - although I have on Facebook but parents said that was ok )

Just looked at yours too, lovely!!

looney am sure your happy that AF has arrived stops you worrying about things looming

OP posts:
sweetkitty · 23/08/2007 21:28

LT - sorry about AF but glad in a way means things are normal for you, you have your CD1 now and you can get on with getting pregnant this cycle.

libralady - I agree a BFP in September would suit me just fine

looneytune · 24/08/2007 10:56

Cheers but looks like we're no longer ttc Long story but had a rollercoaster of a night with dh and it's off the cards now.

Good luck to the rest of you

bobbydazzler · 24/08/2007 12:36

Looney are you ok?

TSLM CONGRATULATIONS and also to Jacob

I have had a really rocky week this week. I started really getting my hopes up and could not stand the suspense any longer and tested on day 28 and got BFN.

I felt very very low for 2 days after that, too low to post .

Did further test on day 30 because we were due to go to infertility clinic yesterday and wanted to double check was deffo not pregnant. Used a CB digital and first morning urine and again test came back BFFN.

However Dr I saw at infertility clinic was really lovely and very reassuring that it can still happen for me and DH so left clinic last night feeling a bit happier again and just wanting AF to show up.

Still no signs today but have felt crampy on and off since yesterday. Probably clutching at straws but started new thread about false negatives.

I won't really be too disappointed when AF does show, s'pose more worried now that I am going to miss AF altogether this month and what implications of that might be for my fertility

sweetkitty · 24/08/2007 12:46

bobbydazzler - was thinking of you just now and thought it must be bad news, so sorry to hear of your BFN I know how much you wanted a BFP, it's hard isn't it but you just got to pick yourself up dust yourself down and get on with it nothing else for it, I'm so happy you got a good response from the fertility clinic

looney - you OK honey if you need to talk let me know, I went through a rough patch with my DP just after I got news about the suspected mc, it was quite tough and I thought I never wanted to see him again nevermind ttc another baby. You are probably really angry right now with him but the dust will settle and you may feel a bit different in a few days. take it easy and take care of yourself.

I'm OK today had a few wobbles last night mostly about finances (have had a few unexpected bills the past few days) had a bit mroe bleeding this morning but I was told there was still some more clots up there so in a way it's good they are coming out.

I have had such a crap few weeks recently I am so feeling sorry for myself. I'm having a rare night out tonight so went and treated myself to a new top with some birthday money to cheer myself up a bit.

Better go get the lunch on.....

bobbydazzler · 24/08/2007 12:54

Thanks for your sweet message Sweetkitty. The Dr at the clinic was really lovely, tho part of it maybe that he was a registrar (the consultant i am assigned to was on holiday). Sometimes think the more junior Drs are the nicer ones.

Hope your night out and new top make you feel happier, it is really hard feeling down and feeling like you have to put on a brave face for the sake of your family, little ones. I worry I am obsessing so much now about having another child I am not enjoying the gorgeous one i have enough.

looneytune · 24/08/2007 13:30

I'm ok, just a bit shocked that 'divorce' got mentioned last night Too long a story to go into right now, I just don't have the energy. All I could think about was having another baby, dh was excited, everything was perfect and than BANG!!!

sweetkitty · 24/08/2007 13:51

bobbydazzler - I told only 1 person I was ttc#3 as I know I would have got all the "what for you already have 2" statements. No one in DP or my family has had more than 2 so it was a shock when I announced I was pregnant again. It's as if if you already have children you don't have the same desperation to have another one. I also know what you mean about trying to stop obsessing about having another and enjoy what you do have.

looney - so sorry to hear that, is is maybe just a heat of the moment thing I know a lot can get said when you are arguing that you don't truly mean. Maybe your DH is worried about ttc as well, men often are although they don't say much about it. Feel free to lean on us and have a rant that's what we are here for.

looneytune · 24/08/2007 13:53

Thanks sweetkitty - it's not about ttc, he's 46 now so not like a little kiddie comment All rings are off and the fact he said the word 'divorce' makes me think that's it. Totally devastated!!!

Ladypig · 24/08/2007 14:17

Hi Ladies, Can I come and join you in the caravan? Am on day 1 of 18th cycle of TTC and feeling thoroughly fed up with it all. Seems to be never-ending! DH was diagnosed with low sperm count etc a few months ago so realistically I know it's not v likely that we will be able to conceive naturally but still can't help hoping each month that there will be some miracle and it'll be the one. Silly.

bobbydazzler · 24/08/2007 14:18

so sorry Looneytune

Thelittlesoldiersmummy · 24/08/2007 17:32

I'm fine just this crappy backache It turns out I saw a jounior Doc on Monday that sent me into a blind panic about it being a EP the Doc I saw yesterday said that she wonted of even mentioned it to me at such an early stage and without doing test she is sure its ligaments and I have nothing to worry about but will only be happy when I see my bud in the right place on Tuesday I hope you guys dont mind me popping in here now its just so hard to leave

OP posts:
looneytune · 24/08/2007 17:44

Oh, so glad you've seen another Dr and been reassured. I know it was suggested at one point that I'd had an EP (my cystitis!) and spent an afternoon in a right old state (not helped by hormones!) and then realised what was as it all made sense later that day and then I was fine. Good job you've not had to wait til Tuesday for reassurance and also, you get to have an early scan!
