Does anyone have experience of this? Hubby has just had it done and we are nervously awaiting the outcome!

btw im driving dh insane - to the point where he just cant perform!! Think i'm putting too much pressure on him. Might be tmi - but it just goes on forever and ever with no end reult IYSWIM! I find it a chore too which I know is not good - stress etc - know the advice about relaxing and all that - but am totally obsessed - wish I wasnt!
Also been using those cheepy ebay OPK's and according to them i havent OV'd - Im on CD16 of a 28 day cycle now. Think they might be increasing my stress levels - DH has threatened to throw them away!!

Perhaps we should have a support thread for the DH's, mine was in tears and shouting again last night, he's only doing this for me and boy do i now it, i have a really sinking feeling now that i shouldn't be doing this at all

terrier141 · 29/05/2008 12:54

Im feeling the same at the moment - have had my 2 dc's and 2 dsc's all week and have done nothing but scream at them - maybe another one insnt such a good idea!

Hi guys - had that last post removed as I had a small rant about work and then panicked in case either of them is a mumsnetter!!!

Thanks terrier you are a real sweetheart trying to cheer me up - miserable begger that I am!

I am sooooo glad you said that about your DH and "performance issues" - My DH has been having the same prob - he can start but he cant finish IYSWIM!

I just wish DS had a brother or sister - I have a sister and its weird to imagine him growing up without a sibling

KatieDD · 29/05/2008 19:34

Pink, I'm sure it'll happen, but if it doesn't take heart in the fact that mine are in a time out at moment for hitting each other saucpans, real i want to hurt you type wacks.
I sometimes wonder weather i'm bloody mad tbh.

pinkmook · 30/05/2008 09:45

Thanks KatieDD, hows things at home today? Terrier hope things are going better for you too. xx

terrier141 · 30/05/2008 10:20

Not too bad thanks - trying to find ways to spice things up! On the dreaded 2ww now (thats assuming i have actually OV'd - as OPK's didnt detect anything). How are you both feeling today?

OP posts:
pinkmook · 30/05/2008 10:25

I am on the 2WW now too (either 8dpo or 10dpo - depending on which set of cross hairs I believe is right - FF did one then moved it 2 days later grrrr)

when I saw the consultant he smeared and swabbed me (sounds awful!) and there was quite a bit of blood so have had blinkin pink/brown spotting since then but temp still up.

how long is it since your DH's op now terrier?

terrier141 · 30/05/2008 11:12

Had it done 12th April - so only about 6 weeks - but this is our 2nd cycle of ttc as we started bd exactly 2 weeks after the op which fitted exactly with my OV for that month IYSWIM! Im currently on CD 17 so assuming I OV'd on CD14 Im about 3dpo - god why is ttc so bloody confusing?! Never had these issues with the other 2 - caught 1st cycle with dd and 3rd cycle with ds without any charting or really trying - am just obsessed this time cos i know it wont be that easy - if at all!

OP posts:
terrier141 · 30/05/2008 11:17

Hey Katie DD - on about a thread for the DH's - have you seen the dadsnet section on here (under - in the club!). Dont think my dh would use it though - typical man - not really into discussing sensitive stuff!

OP posts:
pinkmook · 30/05/2008 12:10

Charting is in turns fantastic and a right pain in the ass isnt it?!

I reckon you will be fine - has he got round to setting a date for the semen analysis? It might put both your minds at rest cause I bet you are thinking yours could be as bad as mine - and I bet its not.

My DH wouldnt go near the dadsnet bit either!

KatieDD · 30/05/2008 13:25

My DH seems to have done a complete U turn after my full on tantrum on Wednesday night and is at the GP's getting a referal letter which he needs for the 7th June appointment tonight.
It's me with the cold feet now, I keep thinking about what we'll have to go through and the financial impact of just trying to get pregnant nevermind everything else after the baby and wondering if it's what I should do, I want to but is it the right thing for us, I wish I could just have sex and get pregnant like everyone else this just feels so hard (I know people go through worse just feeling sorry for myself).

This is all so traumatic for the three of us isn't it, I hope we can all post our baby photo's soon without too much crap in between.

pinkmook · 30/05/2008 16:05

God that sentence

"I hope we can all post our baby photo's soon without too much crap in between."

really just made my stomach flip. I would be so happy if this ever happens for me

terrier141 · 30/05/2008 16:12

Katie - I felt exactly like you as the date got closer, and even the day of the op! Still not convinced - have spent all week shouting at the 4 we have between us and wondering how I'll cope if it actually does work!
PM - No DH hasnt set a date for analysis yet - now its me that scared in case its bad news!! Starting to wonder if its a bit too soon after the op because I've heard it can gradually improve over time?? Might wait a few months first.

OP posts:
KatieDD · 02/06/2008 19:12

Oh I am so nervous now, I just cannot picture myself pregnant again or with a baby boy/girl. Hubby says it's a sign, I said shut up but i am so torn, maybe it's a protective measure to stop me getting my hopes up.

Hope you're both ok and less stressed than me

pinkmook · 02/06/2008 19:53

Oh Katie I am so excited for you! You must let us know how it goes.

3 more people announced pregnancies at work today feel but too. Wish it was me.

KatieDD · 02/06/2008 20:00

Ah Pink I know how you feel my nanny is pregnant and it was ok whilst she felf shite and was being sick every 2 mins but now she's blooming and I am sooooo too.
I'll keep you posted, god this is a strange situation though, I'm up and down like a tarts knickers !

pinkmook · 02/06/2008 21:25

I'm even of the morning sickness - how sad is that!

One is preg with twins - sad its not me but very excited to see the twins when they are born - oh gawd how cute (though maybe not so cute when they are both bawling to be fed at 2 am

terrier141 · 03/06/2008 10:44

Hi you two - hope you are both not too stressed! I have been so moody and snappy this week - I'm fed up of myself! Katie DD - not long now then?? Bet you cant wait - its the start!! What about you PM - any signs of anything yet? What day are you on now? xx

OP posts:
pinkmook · 03/06/2008 17:26

12 dpo and started bleeding more actually I think I am more like 14dpo as FF moved my cross hairs thereby moving my ov day by 2 days but all other physcial signs inc cervix, cm, etc said ov 2 days earlier grrrrrrrrrr.

how about you terrier - what cd?

terrier141 · 03/06/2008 20:16

cd20 today - and although I said I wouldnt, im finding it impossible not to imagine all the symptoms!!

OP posts:
pinkmook · 04/06/2008 07:29

its a killer isnt it? this month just gone (now on cd2 BTW af started last night) I imagined that the spotting was implantation and that I could see a line a pregnancy test (even DH said he could see a feint line!) also had, twinges (implantation obv ), nausea, sore nipples, hunger, dizzyness and tiredness all NOT pregnancy but all soooo annoyingly hopeful of pregnancy!

back on the shagging wagon for me!

xx

terrier141 · 04/06/2008 08:41

Sorry you got af - so unfair! Thing is most of the pg symptoms are v. similar to af ones! Im trying really hard to ignore them! x

OP posts:
pinkmook · 04/06/2008 13:53
