2ww and the bit in between. BFP's we're waiting!

[Bucky2008]

Maybe a nice shiny new thread will get us all enthusiastic again. I am on my rubbish diet so I only have nuts and beans to put out on the table. Oh and gin of course ;o) Anyone got any cakes to tempt me with?

Ding ding....let's...go

Do you think I have gone a bit mad

you could all carry a copy of more mag lol

Morning all,
God we seriously need some kind of website where people can rate their GPs, there's been some awful stories over the last few days, I can't believe how unsympathetic/harsh/slack they all seem to be, it's truly disgraceful. Big hugs to everyone (and clearly there's plenty) who has such a mean doctor.

Poor scary, hope things settle down for you soon, it must be awful being in such limbo over it all.

Hi abbey hope you're having a good day.

Morning to everyone else ei, jb, mob, bucky, tinkerbell and GG and any I've missed hope you're all well.

Tonight is an 'on' night, so I'd like some suggestions for a quiet position please, unfortunately I have a house guest at the minute but it's not stopping me!!

Morning all,

bucky No wonder you felt weepy, what a horrible day. Could be a symptom though , you do have a lovely rise in your chart!

MOB As you have had two positive opks then ov must be round the corner. Your temp might rocket tomorrow, fingers crossed.

SH Sorry things haven't resolved for you yet. Are you still planning a holiday?

GG Glad work should be easing now. Will your DH be back for the appointment on Monday? I'll willing you to get a BFP that morning.

Thanks for all being nice about my nasty GP everyone. I'm ignoring her doom and gloom comments and thinking positive . I dutifully dropped my sample off this morning. What a waste of NHS resources!

oufton If you have a squeeky bed then you could both stand on the floor with you bent over the bed!! Like doggy but standing. LOL at position of the fortnight and MOB getting jiggy in the kitchen

oooh that's an excellent suggestion jb it may require some moving of the washing mountain at the end of the bed but it should defo reduce noise, I like your style.

I find it a must for B&Bs!! They always seem to make the beds extra squeeky

...and at the in-laws [

You are all very quiet again today. . Where are you I miss you.

DP and I went to get his results and mine. Although I had had mine from the receptionist as 'fine'. Well DPs results were totally fine, mine however were a bit dodge. I had a level of 24 apparently it should be 30 or above whatever that means. However, I had the test on CD22 and AF turned up on CD25 so my levels were probably dropping. SO....I have to go back again tomorrow for ANOTHER test.

The bad news is that if these tests come back fine, are you ready for this...sit down, if the tests come back fine, I have to wait till I have been ttc for THREE BLOODY years before he will refer me. . Not ONE, THREE!!!! He will send me for an ultrasound but that's it.

If they come back dodgy again I will get referred immediately. Talk about bad news either way . What was it we were saying about GPs? .

eve bucky sorry hun about drs and results
good luck for tests

Bucky, that really takes the biscuit. If it comes to it, for heaven's sake, change GPs. There is no reason on earth why you should wait for 3 years to be referred. Either that, or spend the next year saving up and just go private.
{{{hugs}}}

Bucky sorry about results, hopefully this lot will be higher - I assume it is porgesterone levels you mean ? And as for 3 years well that is quite frankly f*@king RIDICULOUS ! I have never heard such nonsense, you have already been trying for well over a year so if I were you if all tests prove to be fine then get yourself off to another GP or clinic - am absolutely and

omg bucky effin GPs what a waste of time!! 3 years is absolutely ridiculous!! your GP needs to be lined up with all our other crap GPs and we can poke them with very large sharp sticks!! hopefully if your results dont come back as abnormal he will change his mind and refer you anyway if not move to different gp
hi to everyone else
what dya think of my new name??
xx ei xx

morning ladies
cd35 for me temp rise again getting there

Bucky oh no - not another stupid GP definitely wrong - he should be referring you now. Is there another GP in the practice you can see? You can also ring the PCT and ask their advice - and check that this is not a policy with this particular Trust. There's other stuff you can do too - we can chat about it it on Sunday, as this is vaguely of my line of work (No, i am NOT a GP!!!) At least there was a bit of good news in all of this, in that DP's results are fine. It does sound as though your test was done at the wrong time - which is probably why it was a bit low.

Morning to everyone else!!!

Well, i had great excitement this morning - i've got lines!!! look at my lines!

I was really excited (sad, i know) because i was starting to wonder if i was ever going to ov. Now here i am 3DPO already. The thing that confuses me a little is the OPK results which were +ve on Tuesday and Wednesday. Yet FF says i ov'd tuesday. Which is likely to be more accurate?? BD'd Monday evening & Wednesday morning, so hopefully well timed.

Anyway, will be back later - but better do some work first

great mob for lines getting nearly mine slowly and hopefully surely had another higher temp this morning

Morning all,
bucky that's ridiculous, 3 years??? I notice from your profile (sorry not stalking just interested!) that you're 35, I thought guidelines stated that you need to be trying for only 6 months without success to get referred over the age of 35? (I'm not implying you're old by the way, just that 35 is one of those random cutoff ages). Your GP sounds like an absolute horror, I really hope you can get some better answers. Very pleased your DPs tests came back ok though, go swimmers!

Excellent news for you mob on ovulation, I hope you've caught that egg.

Morning to everyone else, nothing exciting to report from me except last night's action when we have a houseguest made me feel like I was 17 again in my parents house. Lots of giggling and shushing!!

Meant to say I love the new name ei!

3 years Bucky???? What on earth? But the bog standard NHS guidelines say 1 year? That's ridiculous? You're in London right? Not some remote colony of a tiny island with one hospital?

What levels were the ones coming back low? Good news that DH levels fine.

MOB lol at the lines! Congratulations, that's great!

Oufton I conceived both times very quietly whilst my mum was staying with us - I think she is some kind of Abbey style fertility symbol.

I do wonder sometimes if she's worked out that her little girl was "at it" whilst she was down the corridor both times! (Given that my mum is Catholic and I'm sure doesn't like to think that I am anything other than driven snow and must just have a tendency towards immaculate conceptions!)

Abbey where are you? Are you okay?

hatty that's very interesting, I was joking to DH this morning that no doubt last night's will be the one and I'll forever know that a child was conceived during a bout of less than romantic action. ahem.
Perhaps you could consider renting your mother out to the rest of us? I'm sure it'll cause catholic guilt but if we're all at it for procreation rather than fun surely it's ok with him upstairs?

Congratulations on the lines MOB. It is quite exciting . I get excited just getting the thermometer out in the morning.

Hatty pmsl at 'remote colony'. Um no, I am in Hertfordshire! Although it felt like a remote colony moving here after living in London for 13 years!

I went for the test this morning. The nurse suggested I see a different doctor in the surgery who specialises in fertility and ob-gyn problems. Have made an appointment for the 9th May.

In the meantime DP is acting very weird and insisting he KNOWS that this is the month his baby has been concieved . He said he just has a feeling...am worried that he will be disappointed AGAIN! .

Have got more tender (.)(.)s than usual though so all is not lost!

Hellooooo!!

Internet playing silly buggers at home so stealth posting at work.

Will read through and catch up

Bucky8 - have emailed you, but I can't beleieve that bl*dy doctor. Completely unreasonable. Thank goodness there is someone qualified at that surgery who specialises in obs/gynae.

Is your DP known for is psychic powers ? When is AF due for you. I am due AF on Sunday/Monday with our fertility appointment on Monday afternoon at 2pm, so the emotions will all happen at once for me, I think . I am looking forward to our meet up to take my mind off everything

My DH is coming back tonight from Germany and not disappearing off again until next Wednesday now, so it will be lovely to have him around. He claims to be "very excited" about the appointment , while I am feeling disinctly nervous but I think the appointment with the consultant will be an anti-climax with a few months of blood tests etc for me scheduled, while they rule out a problem with me (I am not too worried really) before we have the Big Choice to make re IVF, if that is the route to go down.

hello to oufton tinkerbell picknmix and everyone else.

sorry for not posting much

MOB - looking good on the lines.

hatty- how are you feeling. Do you have any PG symptoms yet?

8abby* - where have you gone

Hatty am okay - midwife called yesterday to cancel appt next week, and I had a chat with her about why I'd made one so early - she's asked me to go in today instead so she can refer me to an obstetric consultant. Am pleased things are moving now, as a consultant should either reassure me or monitor me much more closely. However, still that she thinks its serious enough to refer.

Bucky and more at the 3 years! I would check NHS guidelines - as Hatty says - and try a different doctor. 3 years is just not good enough. Have you had an ultrasound yet? Is it just your hormones being checked? They checked my hormones, which were fine, but I went back in and moaned about heavy periods and unreasonable ov pain, so they refered me for an ultrasound (played on periods rather that ttc as they just raise a cynical eyebrow and tell you to sod off until you've tried for a year). Scan came back showing one polycystic ovary, and dr was going to leave it at that - but I told them sex was frequently painful, so they refered me to a consultant (Yes, I'm thinking of moving into Leeds General Infirmary, given the amount of time I'm there). She told me periods were nothing to worry about, but painful sex could be endometriosis. I told her I wanted to have a baby, and she told me to try, and if nothing had happened in six months, to go back to her - to ask for a direct referal. And it just so happens that I am pg, so no need. I suppose what I mean by relaying all of this is, if I was you I would play on periods or painful sex as a means to getting scanned if you haven't already. The doctors just don't react to ttc, but they do to other gyne problems. Alternately, loads of people on here are having scans privately to see their babies, am wondering whether they will scan privately to check your tubes (highly technical terminology). Hope this helps - am sorry I don't know what you've already had done because I've not been around for ages.

Hours go by without any posts on here at the moment. Am convinced you've all resorted to rampant b-ding during the daylight hours too

Abby she is probably just referring you because you are worried. I would say that is a good midwife - one who understands how key it is to follow a woman's instinct. My local EPAU were surprised when I pitched up with no pain or bleeding, but insisting that something was wrong. But as they are used to women doing this, they took me seriously. I am not saying that there is anything wrong in your case, but because you are worried they are going that extra mile to make sure you are ok. It sounds like good quality care to me.

Bucky I'm glad you have found a better GP. Three years is an utter nonsense. If you can try to spin it as period problems, rather than TTC issues. Then you might get seen more quickly (sounds backwards, but that's the NHS for you). Hopefully your DH's instinct is right and it won't matter anyway

DD is better (I think she was trying it on) and so I am looking forward to the meet up too, and finally putting faces to the typing.

Congrats on the lines MOB.

Ok, so looks like loads of you have been having probs with your Doctors ? am and at how common this is becoming.

Bucky 3 years?! That?s ridiculous ? am echoing everyone here I know but please find a second opinion from somewhere. I?m relieved that your DH results were ok ? though ? that is at least some excellent news for you. Am liking your charting progress BTW ? had a little look and its looking pretty good.

Scary how is DD feeling?

Abby how are you feeling about everything today?

Ei (love the new name BTW) ? again, what rubbish rubbish Dr?s ? can?t believe they labelled it wrong. As you say, what use is that going back in for another test now? Grrr on your behalf!

GG glad to hear that work has calmed down a little bit for you now and that your appt has come around so quickly on Monday ? am really really hoping your Dr?s are 100% better than any of the other 2ww?ers seem to have been recently. However I do appreciate your concerns about the appt.

MOB excellent news about the lines . I would wait and see with FF as sometimes they change their mind about where the lines should go but fingers crossed for you!

Sorry to hear about the positive test Scary - lets hope the blood tests next week are more conclusive for you.

Loving Tinks/Crossings idea about carrying a copy of More to the meet!!

JB your Dr sounds rubbish as well ? I know they have to make people aware of all dangers etc but, really, telling you things like that (about miscarriages) will surely just stress you out?

Ouften am loving your bedroom prowess ? every other day and a different position each time?!? Blimey ? that?s pretty good going .

LittleMiss your situation sounds awful aswell ? am on your behalf that your Dr was so completely ignorant. I hope you?re doing ok.

Am sadly with Bucky in the fact that I am not entirely sure about the Reverse Cowgirl but was pmsl at your position discussions (had to read quickly though for fear of a customer having a read at the same time!)

Sorry for the essay but I feel like I've missed so much!

Aw, where have you all been????
