xx ei xx

Afternoon all!

Sorry not been on for a while .

Been trying to not obsess and actually doing okay, probably only thinking "am i, aren't i?" about once a day rather than once a minute!

JB did the scan go okay?

GG hope DH's appt goes okay tomorrow.

DG I think I've bored you with this already but I had v little morning sickness with twins and apparently you are supposed to have it much worse with multiple pregnancies..so I think it does vary from woman to woman?

Bucky how was France? Very jealous..

Waving to everyone

Am on day 20 and think I have only got EWCM today so still valiantly bding away (DH looked exhausted and tried not to yawn this morning when I said we needed to try a few more times this month - have been going every other day since day 8 and we're totally knackered!

Hello hattyyellow Lovely to see you, no need to be sheepish. My scan went v well thank you , so we started our bd-athon on Friday. Hopefully you will ov today or tomorrow and you can both have a rest!!

ei How are things with you? Did you give your sister a telling off for taking you for granted?

pink Long cycles post pill are really common sadly. I understand your frustration, my last cycle was 62days - it wasn't pill related either.

serend Good luck! Hope you get lucky first go.

I've just got a positive OPK! I've done them since Friday and had nothing at all but now have a line

hi allthanksspty thats sweet good luck for you
thanks ei that gives me more hope
cheersjb thats what i thought

JB does that mean that you've had the all-clear, that you can happily tcc-away then? Hurrah! What lovely news, you must be so pleased

And yippee for positive OPK! Here's to joining the November thread together if we're both ovulating round now

Oooooooh yes, we can be ovulation buddies hatty !

Yes, they said the scan was fine and we should, to paraphrase, 'get on with it'! So we've been following Drs orders .

Awww, your all so quiet .

I just got back from my CD21 blood test . Those vaccuum test tubes freak me out a bit , but anyway, 7-10 days now till results. DP takes his sample in next Tuesday because he was rubbish at ringing up to make an appointment...MEN!!

GG Hope your DHs appointment goes ok.

Great news JB get to it girl.

Hi Hatty Nice to 'see' you.

Bucky waves to everyone else and runs to get to the train to work.

Hello bucky, it is quiet on here isn't it?! Glad you have got your test out of the way, fingers crossed for the results .

GG I have just seen your post detailing DH's results . I didn't want to hyjack your thread, but just wanted to say I hope your DH leaves his cave soon and you can talk about it all properly. I'm hoping you get lots of positive stories from couples in a similar position. >

ei Are you not close to d-day? Any symptoms to amuse us with?

Hello to everyone else!

hello everyone,

DH went to the doctors and has a referal for another sperm test. The doctor was pretty useless and basically said "sorry, I have no idea what they mean. I can't interpret these", so DH asked for a print out of his test results and I have been Googling ever since to see if I can find out how bad/good it is and started another thread on here. However, you can't really argue with the words "severely low sperm count" printed at the bottom .

If the second test produces similar results (it is expected to ), the doctor will refer us to a fertitlity specialist . On the positive side, DH seems to have been fired up by the general lack of interest and rubbishness of his GP and is going for the repeat test tomorrow morning and has already booked the follow up GP appointment for two weeks time!

hello to everyone and sorry if I haven't read the thread properly. Hope everyone is ok? Anyone testing? Usual special mention for all my old pals on the 2WW thread Bucky Hatty Jolly Ei mibbes picknmix" madoldbird* and everyone else. Sorry to anyone missed out - didn't mean to, you have all been brilliantly supportive.

GG It is good your DH is fired up and getting going sorting out new appointments. That should mean a swift referral to someone who can actually interpet the results and give you a better idea of what the next steps are.

morning ladies
hope you are all ok
GG nice to see you and great news that DH seems to have geared himself up for more tests.
JB hi ive got a week til D-day so i am symptom spotting like mad!! i have got awful heartburn, headaches, peeing for england, low back ache, low tummy stretchy aches, sickly heavy feeling stomach and loads of windy-pops i have told DH that if this month isnt THE month then i will be temping next cycle he just looked at me in a slightly frightened ((get me away from obsessed woman)) kinda way!! bloody men eh!!
bucky hi how did your trip go??
a big hi there and hello to all our other ladies and good luck to anyone testing or due to test
xx ei xx

ooops how crap am i!! in all my symptom rambling i forgot to ask how you are too JB??? hope your efforts dont go unrewarded this cycle you deserve your BFP
xx ei xx

morning ei

morning pink how are you?? when are you testing again? i am going to wait til the weekend when AF is due
xx ei xx

thanks jolly - we'll see if Atilla the meercat or anyone with a bit more info can help me work out the results. I wonder what I would do without the wit and wisdom of Mumsnet-ers! Explode in impotent rage probably

hello to anyone testing and symptom spotting. Is anyone late?

Bucky - how was France and did you come back with loads of lovely wine and brie?

pinkgirl - any news???

Afternoon all, hasn't it been quiet recently - my parents were visiting me this weekend so I have been unable to snatch 5 minutes to catch up with everyone. I was also a good girl and didn't drink too much wine (as I usually do when I catch up with my mum!) - hope my restraint is rewarded this month!
ei like you I am symptom spotting like mad - AF due at weekend for me. I appear to be weeing like mad, I keep yawning and have felt a bit sick (for 5 seconds) when I was on the bus. Each month I become more convinced that I am pg and every little thing turns into a symptom. I still can't bring myself to test before a missed/late AF though.
bucky - lucky girl with a trip to France, hope you overindulged on soft cheese while you can! (fyi here in Italy they don't care about avoiding soft cheese whilst pg, but you MUST wash your salad in bicarb of soda!!)

gg great that your dh is fired up, i am thinking of you both.

Ciao to everyone else.

Hi everyone

I thought I'd only been away a few days, but it looks like it's actually been two weeks. Am completely lost now and not sure which thread I'm posting on, but recognise some names on here

tantiK i am exactly like this every cycle i noticed you are on cycle 4 aswell like me and oooh you live in italy?? i have ALWAYS wanted to go!! DH doesnt fancy anywhere that doesnt start in beni and end in dorm!! he was well travelled as a child with a well to do nan (he was the favourite of 4 children) i wasnt myself...
treats nice to see you
xx ei xx

Hi Ladies

Quite on here.
Good luck at the weekend Ei with testing. Keeping everything crossed.

Bucky hope you had a nice time, it sounds like you have a good support network regarding tests etc. I hope it happens for you soon. X

GG it sounds like DH is finding it easier to deal with and I am glad you are finding support on here. Thank goodnes for the WWW!

Hatty and Jolly nice to see you are cycle buddies and can get one another through the waiting. Good luck ladies, remember BD until you can BD no more!

Hello to everyone else, I have been lurking, DH was away at the weekend and I just chilled. I went to the doctors this morning and she apologised for last week She says that she had not been provided with all of the information and my levels were within the range they were 225 so well above what I thought she was telling me although still within the early pregnancy range. She still refuses to do another blood test and refer me to the EPU but I felt better than I did last week. She says that she is contacting our local Maternity unit and I should hear from them next week and should have an 8 week scan which was music to my ears! Just got to make it to there now!

Thanks for your messages of support. I really wish all of you ladies luck I would have cracked up with out having you to sound off to.
Coolkat X
p.s still lurking!

hi coolkat glad your visit to the GP went well you only have a few weeks to wait til your scan do you not? i have everythin crossed for you -including my legs (much to the sadness of DH) and i hope all is well for you thanks for the luck i think i will need it myself!! ah well nice to see you anywho
xx ei xx

Hi eigg and ck ei - i am gr8 thanksin a really good mood @ the moment i am testing again monday
crossing fingers for both of us

oops didnt finish last one!
gg - tested monday bfn , now on cd 38 no af testing monday glad that your partner had tests hopefully he will get on ok!! and work out what everything means
ck glad that drs went well

Thanks ei! I've never had a positive opk before and was therefore v excited yesterday. I've just done another and it is fainter than yesterdays so hopefully I'm hatching now. Good luck holding out to test! It is soooo hard isn't it. You sound really positive though

coolkat Glad you're OK and still lurking. I can't believe your GP won't do another blood test to put your mind at rest though.

treats CD 12 might be a bit early for EWCM, or you might be going to ov later than normal. I find amount of EWCM varies from month to month though, maybe that's just me!

tanki Good luck holding out to test too! Bicarb, urgh! My Grandma boils her veg in bicarb to get them soft, yucky.

pink Hope you are not having a long cycle, they are just poo. Good luck with testing.

Bucky are you there? BUCKY! I've not seen MOB for a while either. Hope you are both ok if just lurking and that your DH is OK after the crash MOB
