TTC No.17 - Heres hoping for a very fertile New Year!

[Sallie]

Thanks for suggesting that I start this thread - its a real honour. Won't be leaving it yet as am only on cd24, despite getting bfps from the 3 tests I have done today (paranoid or what?!).
Lots and lots of babydust to everyone. If this pg is successful, I will have conceived in the midst of an awful cold so that should give everyone some hope. Lots and lots of hugs.....

wow cockenzie that was quick for the results, anyhow, normal is good, it means u have prob OV recnetly and theres nothing to worry about, ur body could ssustain early PG, would type more but am mega late on things at work and am all alone... ooh the stress of it all, any one wanna trade jobs for a few days??

(of couse coming on heres not helpin either)

go on then munnzie - I have exams I'm supposed to be revising for . Fancy sitting them for me?

depends what they are Rudy! thou at the mo i'd rather be doing anything other thatn here!

what do u do munzieb?

depends on what mood i'm in! lol (my title is accounts manager/ Credit Controller) but i'm also known to work in the factory on the odd occasion with the girls (glad it's not often, the other girl in the office is out at the mo so i'm also on the front desk for cust. Services at the same time... god the stress, and that bloomin steve whateva his mane has come on again on the radio, have u eva noticed the radios only play the same songs at the same time? (u put rtadio 2 on at 3.30 ish and I bet father and son will be on (hopefully or i'll loook like a right tit now! lol) speak after 4 once the post has gone.

wow account manager!! sounds good hehe.the health visitor just told me that ur gp can do a blood test called 'day 21' to test if u ov?
also something called 'maybe baby' (ov test kit)in the shape of a lipstick to test ur saliva.

I can't urge you enough to read..."Taking Charge of your Fertility" by Toni Weschler. I have been ttc#1 for about 6 months, I have read tons of stuff online and thought I knew everything about cycles. boy was I wrong. This book is a must for everyone ttc

that makes you think!!

Hi Bella, I've also posted to you on the other thread. So sorry again for your loss, you poor love. I actually didn't wait at all after miscarrying - but it was very early (before six weeks) and I ovulated about 16 days later. So my system wasn't as thrown out as if I'd miscarried later, and the physical impact wasn't as bad either (though still pretty grim; it's horrid, isn't it?). I'm 40, and trying for my first baby, so I didn't feel that waiting was much of an option.

On reflection, though, I wasn't sufficiently recovered to get straight back in there, and emotionally I found it very difficult. I felt completely pregnant the next month - a whole raft of symptoms - and I was devastated when my period came. I think that EITHER I still had a load of pregnancy hormones still washing around my system, and that was why I was convinced I was pg, OR I was just so upset, and desperate to try to snatch back the baby I'd lost, that my mind was playing tricks on me. Either way, it was horrendous - when my period started it felt almost like I was miscarrying again. So maybe I should have waited until I was emotionally stronger. On the other hand, I would probably have tormented myself then with how I could have been pg again by now if only I'd got on with it... I don't know; there's no easy answer; I guess we're all looking for the action that will somehow make it alright again, and only time can do that.

Big hugs to you. Once again, I'm so sorry you're going through this.

lol @ Cockenzie - it's about as much fun as looking for a corner in a circular room! I thought u had had the 21 day prog tests recently done?

Hi Bella, and although I welcome you back, I won't do it too loudly, firstly, (((((((((hugs)))))) i'm so sorry for u hon. and secondly, I think the important thing is to wait until you are ready in your self. once you are ready you will know and will want to try again. If you decided you are ready, then we'll all continue to walk this road together and hopefully we'll all go mad together and not alone. seriously thou, (and I know it's of no use to you) but you know your own body.

I must agree thou, for a while I was rather worried about hester getting back on the wagon so soon as it were, but things seem to look ok there, and if you feel ready then go for it. Is time of the essance here, or can you relax about it and take things as they happen?

Thanks Munnzieb and Hester. It really does help having your support. My story is that I had been TTC for 6 months and am 32. Now I know this doesn't exactly put me in last chance saloon and that I could actually wait before trying again. It is more the way I deal with things emotionally, waiting around for things just makes me dwell and I get very upset. I prefer to just get things sorted and then carry on as before. Perhaps this is not exactly sensible but seems the only way for me. Will definately take advice though.
Lord being a grown up is tough sometimes!

lol, that it is hon, the only thing is tryin so soon, (not that I ahd the prob after my M/C) but if you focus all your energys into getting PG again so soon u don't really grieve for the baby you lost properly so when it does finally hit you etc.. the extent is normally worse cos it's been put off, if that makes sence. It will be hard hon, but you'll get there. (look at young hester - yeah, we can c u... eatin that choc bar on ur own at ur desk! lol) she's gettin there slowly. It will never be ok, and u'll never replace the one you've lost, but on the plus side (cos u've always gotta find a plus side) at least u know ur fertile.

Then go for it, Bella, and see how you get on. If it feels tougher than expected you can always pause again till you feel ready to carry on. And we're all here to give you support

well munzieb, apparently i had a random test done and not the particular ov one.I AM JUST TOTALLY CONFUSED but i love ur expression.would u mind terribly emailing me ur temp chart pls?so i can take a look at it and understand.thx

lol, well unfortunatly I don't keep one of those things I did try but kept forgetting to do it so it's a bit of a waste of time for me, besides i've allways been regular as it were. If u post ur chart on here, then maybe Hula will have alook at it for you - she's good at that one I think.

Hester - good luck hon, I know u don't feel PG, but that's what happened last time remember, so it ain't over yet! (promise will mail u tomorrow - and spend less timetalking on mn!) - yeah right!

anyhow am off now as it's past 5, so off to the chippy for my last treat b4 DH comes home and stops me from going there!

ooh and the picledonions sarnies were lush!

Am also off home - ooh chips sounds a fab idea!
Will bore you all tomorrow with what happens at the clinic tomorrow....oh the joy!
Been a while since I have said it so here goes.....babydust to you all !!!!! .·´ ¸.·´¨) ¸.·*¨)

can i CAT u Hula?

hello all - anyone there? I've had a near useless day . Meant to be revising (have exams next week) but had v. disturbed night with teething DS and felt too knackered to properly function at all. Hate feeling I've 'wasted' a day but there you go.

Nothing exciting going on here ttc wise - just hoping I can muster the energy to bd later . I know it shouldn't be like that but I don't want to feel like I've wasted that as well! Not that I know it's the right time but you never know...

what a miserable post - sorry about that! Munnzie - got any jokes to cheer up a grumpy old bird???

Not had chance to catch up yet......running out!

Bella I am so sorry honey, it is so nice to have you back, but wish it was in better circunstances!

Rudy thanks for your thoughts....great to hear about appointment.

Marinda I have been with my dh for 5 years and got married last year, if I had known all this I would have tried much sooner!

sorry girls got to go!

So sorry to hear about your baby Bella.

Fastasleep, hoping AF hasn't arrived. I caved and got a test today. Will try tomorrow morning. Thought I'd wait a few more days but cd37 is getting a bit silly - even for me! Still feel totally unpregnant though . Today have been doing totally crazy and self destructive things like finding out my imaginary due date. How on earth do you work it out if your cycles are never constant and you've been bd'ing all thru the month. Hope they settle down soon though as not sure if I can carry on these month-long bd'ing sessions - hubby, bless him, thinks all his Xmas's have come at once

Cockenzie - course you can CAT me. About anything in particular? Not had time to catch up with thread yet.

Thanks Miranda
