TTC no. 18 - We Will Get Prgenant!!!!!

[jessicasmummy]

Here we go again ladies!!!

haven't posted on the ttc for AGEs now but feel like i need some support at the moment from those who know what it's like. i've been lurking for a while. Those who do recognise me, i've been tcc no.2 for just over two years now. we're a bit of an 'unexplained infertility' couple, in that nothing major seems to be wrong. we're due to start iui/ivf privately next month as we didn't want to leave it to chance anymore (I'm 36).
I'm sooooo used to the ttc rollercoaster of imagined syptoms each month but this month is truely awful. Due on tomorrow. I haven't had any crampy pains this month, which is unusual, but my boobs are sore. i usually get tender boobs but they are more painful this month (e.g. had to hold them to get into bed after i took my bra off last night!). feeling very thirsty too. couldn't speel from about 4.30am. feel very butterfly-y and quite wound up.

I'm not meaning to sound ungrateful, but i don't want lots of 'sounds promising' or 'please test', etc. for some reason though, this month i feel vulnerable to the disappointment i will undoubtably feel tomorrow when af arrives. i can't get my hopes up because it's so painful when they're dashed again, so maybe i can be really cheeky and ask for a few hugs and a bit of support?

don't know why this month feels different - maybe because this would be the last month of us trying 'naturally' and from next month it's all test tubes and drugs, which i'm quite scared about. thanks x

i couldn't even sleep, let alone 'speel'!

Moomin,
((((((((BIG BEAR HUG)))))))))) (My newphew gives these hugs and they are the best)

moomin

Really big hugs to you...I will keeps my fingers crossed.

We have been ttc for 10 months and the rollacoster each month is truly awful, I hope its over for you.

Love Nelli x

I can't even imagine what you are going through right now. I remember that when we were trying for dd1 I was distraught everytime AF appeared. Lucky for us it took 9 months to conceive and not years like some. I just remember everyone telling me not to stress about it, which is the last thing you want to hear. So all I can give to you are big hugs and pray that good fortune will come your way very soon

thanks so much. i didn't mean to hijack this thread - i do hope everyone is coping ok in their own ttc rollercoasters. good luck for those testing soon. i've promised i'll never test until i'm at least a week late, because of all the negs i've had. i even once did a test 1st thing in the morning, then wiped myself to find that af had arrived. Grrrr.

Big {{{hugs}}}, Moomin. I too have found one of the best ways to get AF to turn up is to do a pg test

Moomin,

Like you I have wasted too much money on Pg tests...just figure that it will be the one month when I think it was virtually impossible and it will happen for me....

Good luck and lots of hugs coming your way

((HUGS)) Moomin. I no longer buy pg tests or keep them in the house. Too many tears, too much disappointment. Wishing you a successful pregnancy in the near future.

Just a quick question - I've had two periods since DS was born, and cycles of 50 then 42 days. I'm currently on CD35, so not testing yet, but just wondered if it was worth doing OPKs or charting temps? I'm still breastfeeding DS (10 months).

OK...

DIZZY here for some reason thought that my AF wasn't due till weekend....

It was actually due last weekend...

I'm thinking FEB AF 22nd last month so should be 22nd this month but that is wrong and means I am actually at day 31. day 27 last month. Im gonna hold out. Birthday tomorrow. Oh what a lovely b'day present that would be.

Fingers crossed, horseshoe. Happy Birthday too!

moomin, I totally understand what you're going through. I went through years of infertility treatments, some invasive, some not and it was the most difficult thing I've ever done. Big hugs to you this month.

Horseshoe, I know what you meant about pg tests and not buying them. When I did get pg with my DD, I wasn't trying and didn't know I was for the first 9 weeks. I was really ill and the only reason the dr tested me was because he wanted to give me stronger medication for my suspected IBS - turns out my IBS was actually my beautiful dd so I've never actually had a positive on a home pg test.

I'll probably buy a test tonight and try to hold out testing until the morning.

O thats exceiting and your bday tommor... HAPPY BIRTHDAY horseshoe.. Fingers crossed for you, How many days is you cycle normally?

Moomin-sending you a hug.I know what its like.We had 3.5 years of unexplained infertility & well remember the horrible experience of doing pregnancy tests only to have AF turn up hours later.

Will keep everything crossed for you-you are doing exactly what I did.On my 1st 2 pregnancies I didn't test until I was over a week late-purely because I couldn't deal with the disappointment anymore.

Good luck

Silly me....reading calender wrong....only at day 25.......

desperation is setting in i guess.

my cycle is anything between 25 - 35 so having problems with OV date

Hi Everyone

Just back from Isle of Wight after weekend away. I have been taking tablets to delay my period as it would have been due on Saturday whilst I was away. Stopped taking them on Sunday and still waiting for my period. I am now late but may be the pills not quite out of the system yet. Had a strange feeling in my boobs, not sore to touch but just sharp achy pains going through them now and again but cant pinpoint where the pain is coming from. Just a dull ache. Any ideas. Hoping I may be pregnant after 9 months of trying but I doubt it, no other symptoms. Period can be as late as 42 days sometimes, so dont suppose there is any point in testing yet. Been looking for more little spots on my nipples but none, although I noticed a spot two days ago of blood, just one spot on the toilet paper like a pin prick. Please anyone what do you think.

love Bevxx

horseshoe, Hang in there pet, My AF can go on for 32 34 days (and my doc recons its fine) Was to late last night to do my LAST persona test do i am hoping i havent fu&%ed it up.. Today i am on CD24.. I will test on Monday morning it will make it CD30 (if AF has'nt shown)You must stop me if i do one b4 then.. What day will you test on ?

Min

OK well I will wait until Monday and we can do it together......heres hoping AF holds off. Im off of work for the rest of the week and weekend and only MN access is through work so you will not hear from me b4 then...

Everyone must try to make sure MINNIE1 holds out

Ok HS i will be doing mine with one eye open on Monday morning at about 6.50am I will be at work at 8 and will let you know the outcome... I will be waiting for your reply at that stage and i hope it will be the result we want...
Baby dust to you xxxxxxxxxxxxx*x

Back to you!!!

(((hugs))) Moomin.

Come on you testers - we need some good news again; it feels like we are on a roll!

CD19 here. Temp still down, but had a second positive OPK today.

I've bought two clearblue tests. Not doing them yet though!

CD32 for me of what is normally a 28-30 day cycle but last month's was 32 so have held out this long before testing ... again! Am very likely to test in the morning tomorrow but everytime I think of going to buy another test, I think I've imagined some period type pain etc. ARRRGGHHHH - this is so frustrating. JM, have you tested yet??

Ok, am convinced I'm hallucinating now. Came into work early today, have my coffee, had first few sips and felt like throwing up. Obviously first thought is morning sickness as I suffered horribly with it when pg with DD but I only used to get it late at night, never in the morning. I really must test tomorrow ... phantom pregnancy symptoms are not the sign of a sound mind
