TTC Thread 13.................Still send babydust our way please

[Tania2]

Well girls here is another thread.
Lets hope it brings us as much luck as 10 did to all our friends that graduated it.
Love Tan Tan

oh, mommy d, does that mean you'll be end July? How close will your 3 be then? What do you have already?

I'm starting to go round the bend with this. Been having period type pains for few days. Af due Friday. Not like me to have pains before, don't usually have much during. also had a bit of a hot flush last night, so mommyd's words have got me wondering, but obviously can't test till friday at earliest. it's unlikely to be but all this thinking about it is driving me crazy. Woke up couple of times in the night & it was on my mind then too. How do you lot cope? how will I survive till Friday or Saturday - should wait till then really I supoose.

ernest - know exactly how you feel. And I'm not a great person to advise as I did lots of silly early tests this month. But hang in there and really hope it will be good news for you.
MommyD - great news. What are your age gaps?

MommyD - Congratulations! That is such wonderful news. Oh, and well done you for waiting to test!!

I do love to hear about people getting pg as it reminds me that it is possible and we are not all going loony chasing some impossible dream.

So ladies what do you all think - on that very positive note shall we start a new thread???

Congrats again mommyD. Please don't forget to sprinkle lots of your fertile babydust our way...

ernest - all sympathies - I was 3 days late this month and it drove me completely potty - I couldn't think about anything else. If you can I would suggest trying to wait and test just because it is soooo expensive and a BFN won't necessarily tell you anything and it will be one more thing to drive you mad! I'm not really one to talk as I did early tests but I will try not to do that again as I'm not sure there really is any point.

Conrats MommyD

Sorry to say that I am feeling extremely low today. Read more posts that say that OPK's are no good for PCOS sufferers. I did have a temp drop and rise about 7 days into my cycle and the line on my opk was darker although still neg. The last two days have been very feint. All very emotionally draining, and dp feels it too. We reaaly want to so this naturally, and I cling to my premonition, even though in reality I know it was jut a dream that reflects the deep and burning longing we both have . Keeping my chins up though.

BeckiF - sorry to hear you're feeling low . You may have discounted this already but as it seems to be the topic of the moment - have you thought of trying Persona? I don't know if there's a reason PCOS sufferers can't use it or not but I do know it is really easy to use and I know lots of people that have had success with it (me included!)

Hope you feel better soon. (((hugs)))

btw - I don't have PCOS but I do have endo

Persona is no good for PCOS, I know that much, because you need to have relatively regular cycles and my last 2 were 365 days and then 40 days. I thought I'd try a bunch of OPK's just to see what it showed. At the moment it just seems to be depressing me! Ah well, the joys (not) of TTC when everything is against you. It's not even as though I think "Ah weel, at least I have my looks and figure", because I don't! I am extremely overweight and have a beard, and chest hair. I am thankful that I have a gorgeous dp who adores me and treats me like a queen, so I have that and always will, regarldess of if we never share in the joys of having our own baby.

oh beckif sorry - hadn't realised your cycles were so irregular. Was just trying to think of something to suggest - but I'm sure you've thought of it all for yourself already. Sorry not to be of more help but will send babydust and positive thoughts your way. Oh, and keep my fingers crossed for another 'short' cycle. What CD are you on now?

ernest, sallie - ds1 is 2. ds2 is 1!!! There is 15 months between them. Not sure of due date at all yet, but probably due in July? There will be 23 months between ds2 and the new one. I must be mad. Assuming all goes to plan, I will have three kids of three and under. OMG.

I'm currently CD16, and if I have the same length cycle as last time I should start testing on CD19 according to the details in the OPK box. I just wanted to start early so that I wouldn't miss it (IF it happens)

mommy d -my darling ds3 will be 1 tomorrow , so i guess I'll have similar gap bwn 3 & 4 (if i conceive reasonably soon) as you'll have bwn 2 & 3. i'll have 4 under 6 - don't these stats sound great! i'm still doing my head in - given away by my presence here again.

Beckif, sorry you're feeling so down. I'm not surprised, it's a huge hurdle you're facing. I'm doing my head in after only trying a month and already blessed with 3. i feel humbled when brought back to reality with such tough situations like yours. I really really hope it happens for you. and soon. i don't know anything at all about pcos. what can the docs do for you/have they done? really wish you well, hope my trivial angsts don't annoy you too much. you take care

I'm on max dose Metformin (3g) which took me an age to get up to due to the nasty side effects. Apart from that, I'm down for IVF (ICSI) but I could of started that a year ago but chose not to because I wanted to lose some weight. Now it's a yeat later and I'm the same weight. Think we will just try a go anyway.

MommyD, that's wonderful news. Huge congratulations to you
