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.....

marinda I am so pleased for you. well done.

Just to let you all know that I am having a break from MN. I am too upset at the moment.

(((hugs))) jeddah. We will miss you, but will stil be here when you feel able to return. Take care and best of luck for everything

(((((hugs))))) jeds, feel free to email me any time hon. we'll all miss you.

Just wanted to send a hug to Jeddah.That Dr sounded a supercilious tw*t.If it gives you any hope,we were told that our chances of concieving without IVF were nil.We proved them wrong 3 times.Drs do not know as much as they like to imagine.

Was the sample your DH gave the first one?I only ask because my DH gave 3 samples during our investigations.The 1st was great,the 2nd so poor that we were told that we wouldn't be offered clomid,because with a sample like that it would be pointless.The 3rd,after taking vitamins ect for 3 months was fab.A lot can depend on the lab doing the analysis too-as a good friend said to me'you wouldn't take a Ferrari to a Ford garage'.

I hope your next appt is more promising.
Love
Mirage

Jeddah:
We had a moderate-low count too but we have two pregnancies to show for it.

That doc sounds like such a twat Jeddah, I'm so sorry that he wasn't more positive about your DH and lifestyle changes. I'm gutted for you about your treatment. We are all thinking of you. xxx

mirage could you please tell me what vits etc your dh took???

Does anyone have info on adoption?....eg age waiting lists, criteria etc etc??

many thanks girls for all your kind thoughts, you all mean so much to me, in a special way.

not really much help on the adoption front, althou when a friend of mine wnet down that path S/S wouldn't even think about having her on their books as it were for soemthing like 6 months after she was told in no uncertain terms by the dr she could never have children. I couldn't see there being too much of a prob, I suspect you/DH already fit most of the cirteria. but S/S would prob be my first port of call, althou don't do anything tooo hasty just yet.

Have you tried Zinc? (could be worth a try) I've found this site for you thou for the male fertility male fertility

I don't suppose it would hurt to start on the Angus catus would it?? (not sure really, thou as I mentioned b4 if persona's saying you'ere OV then it can't be anything major, surely, maybe you guys just need some hormones or soemthing?? and another thing whilst i'm on me soap box, if persona was that crap then why would the reviews on it be so good, esp as most women get PG after using it for a few months.

and heres a few sites on this angus stuff, It tastes crappy and you'll feel like yacking but if it helps with the hormones, it might be worth a try, althou my dr wouldn't commit to it in any way as no medical reserch has been done on it, althou scientific research has been done on it. I assume you're also takin folic acid (which I believe can help)

best site

anyhow all in all hon, Don't give up, have faith, and you will be a mummy soon. as long as ur still OV and still having AF there's hope. I know it's hard right now, and as soon as ur ready - if in deed you feel you want to carry on TTC naturally, all power to you and you know where we all are, but don't give up just becasue of what some stupid jumped up (and I bet he was a little sqquirt) said to you.

For now thou, Dr Munnzie, is prescribing you, lots of TLC from DH, followed by a long bath, along with a large glass of wine a heap of thorntons choc (save the best for times like these) and then you and DH just enjoy each other as it were, no thoughts of TTC no nothing, and wait for your next set of tests. Don't give up fighting thou hon. Thoughts are with you both (thou not too closely! )

(sorry didn't mena that to be so long, i'm just typing away here, any how best get off, was up mega early today, so nite nite. hope the sun brings a better tomorrow for you hon)

Thanks so much mun.

np hon, how are you feelin today?

AF arrived first thing this morning

Month 5's chart

So, CD1 of month 6 for me.

sorry about AF Hula, set your sights on a spring baby! I'm assumin (if I'm readin this right u OV around day 15??)

CD 9 here and a big red light on my persona, no O yet thou.

Yes, OV has moved a bit, and FF not detected it past two months. OPKs used this month and they went +ve on CD15.

Can't quite believe we are on month 6 already.

I know it goes so quick when you're having all that fun!

I think we need to start a new thread soon cos this one's takin ages to load on dial up... talkin of which.......

OI COCKENZIE - i'm nominating you as the most probable person to get a BFP to start the new thread, (then lurk and spread the dust about) have you tested yet or did you decide to wait?

I agree - need a new thread. Even on broadband it takes a while!

too hungover to write much but - sorry about AF Hula

and

(((jeddah))) (that's all I can manage at the moment but just wanted you to know that I am thinking about you a lot)

Sorry to hear AF arrived hula, It really is a pain in the as%!!!

O i'm down with a chest infection and laringitis (spelling) and i'm on antibiotics and a medicine, will this effect my persona?? Should have a test to do today (saved my mornings wee) I'm on CD6 and i really hope it doesnt effect using the persona.. Can anyone help ???

The lady in the chemist said the medicine will effect the pill (if your taking it) NO I'M TRYING TO GET UP THE DUFF WOMEN!!! but i did'nt tell her that..

I also said to the doc about my AF and she said that irregular af is when you have bleeding every couple of days and that with having a d&C my af could be like that for a while.. O GREAT WHY DONT YOU PUT ME IN A CONVENT NOW!!!

Ya spend year trying NOT to get PG and when ya want ta ya can't !!!..

O well not have a great start but i have found a choc bar in the drawer ha ha!!! that will keep the stess at bay..

well girls I DO WANT TO BEST THE NEXT ONE!!!!.i did a first response test yesterday and was a bfn.still no af.now CD35.mayb a late cycle for me.can you have a cycle without af? tonight i will email my temp and mayb someone can have a look?

Hi everyone, I'm relatively new to this thread, posted a couple of times. Feeling low today, Due yesterday, just done a test (should have waited I know) negative. Doesn't seem fair. Still always next month

can one of your pregnant email her temp chart pls? i would just like to compare with mine and see what a pg chart is supposed to look like.thanks.i bet you i am going to bleed in the next 5 days.hope nothing wrong with me.dp was saying that (because i did 2 clearblue neg and a FR neg) mayb b/feeding may interact with the test and giv a false result? i doubt it somehow.i think we have hallucinated with the 'answer' tests.well, next tuesday seeing doc who may shed light on the pb.

sorry hula for AF

How about that? what do you think of that?

Too much prolactin. You might miss a period (or more than one) if your brain is producing an abnormally high level of the hormone prolactin. A woman's body usually makes prolactin when she's breastfeeding, which is why menstruation generally stops at this time. If this is what's happening to you, you may notice a milky discharge from your nipples. This condition can usually be treated with medication.

I am just getting at the moment a very yellowy discharge.

Cockenzie:
Some pregnancy charts here:
Ferility Friend Pregnancy Charts .

wow!!!! MP. thank you so much hen.Thats going to give me a fair idea.
I am beginning to think that b/feeding is kind of interfeering somehow.especially that i still b/f at night.not so much during day but at night 1 or 2 times.and that may just f* everything up.excuse my language. any opinions anyone on this? would be greatly appreciated.

OI!! MUNNZIEB hehe.love your style. i take your nomition and i am going to try my HHHHHardest to honour it hen.xx

sorry to be a pain. but what does a temp chart look like if you aint pg after ov?
