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

[jessicasmummy]

Here we go again ladies!!!

Only since the 17th Jan. My dh always said that we would try when dd was 2 but that was in July and it came and went. But dd was going to be 2yrs and 6mnths on 22 Jan and we just thought if we dont make the decision just now dd would soon be going to school. So I am so excited and anxiouse as I dont want a big age gap between them and I think now that we have made the decision I am being unpatient.

Sorry to go on Elf1981, what about you when did you start trying again sorry if you have already said but finding it difficult to work out everyones circumstances, but i'm sure i will get there.

lol, honey help ur self! lol. i'm off for a nice long aosk in the bath - now I actually have hot water again! YAY DHE!!

I was introduced to mumsnet via ebay - I brought the "mums on pregnancy" book, and thought I'd check out the site.
I'm so glad I did. DH has gone out, I feel in my bones that I am not pg this month, and hope off loading my frustration (as if why does everybody else get pg at the drop of a hat!) into the wide web may prove to be very threaputic.
As opposed to putting my dressing gown on, sobbing while I watch Eastenders (even Zoey is pregnant!) and eating choccie biccies!!

Nowt wrong with choccie biccies!!!!

exactly JM! infact i'm gonna sit in the bath, (with extra bubbles) and eat a whole bar of choc all to myself! and read a book, I would have a glass on wine, but I don't want to open 2L just for one glass for me. You know I bought a milk choc bar (it says milk choc on the wrapper, and.... and... inside it's plain choch do u believe it!!!

I know what you mean about finding out others circumstances!
I don't mind being asked anyway!

We started TTC in October. I came off the pill at the end of September, so didn't really expect anything to happen in Oct due to the pill. I'd not been on it ages, only a year, as I'd only gone back on it before the wedding, to make sure didn't get pecky monthly on honeymoon!
Nothing happened in November, but leading up to Dec time, I was sick all the time, I felt achy and oh so tired. I had the flu, but read everything into it!

Was late in Jan (another false alarm) so am trying not to get too hopeful.

I know there are people who have been TTC longer than me etc, but it seems everybody I know (in real life) gets pregnant at the drop of a hat!!
Never realised how upsetting it could be. But feeling more optimisitc, have decided that if not pg this month, might invest in ovulation sticks, as I could be missing my ov date.

Sorry Elf is this your first time trying - it took me 8 months the first time and I cried every month but my Dr told me that if you become pregnant in the first year of trying you are very lucky

I'm trying to be all chilled out and stuff. I've been run down at work, though things seem to be looking up, so that's a good thing. DH paid for me to go to a health spa next month (very excited), am having 1 1/2 massage, and a hour facial. Lots of swimming pools and saunas etc, so am hoping if not pg this month, will be all chilled out after trip to spa, and maybe wont spend the rest of the month thinking "is this the time I will get pg"?
Dunno if it will work or not!

Well, DD is now in bed (late, and still awake!) and Dh is out at the gym. Have had something to eat and some more tablets, so having some brighter time again, hence on here for a bit.

Seems there are quite a few new people around on this thread and the last. Do you think it might be time to do a recap of stats?

TTC help: Trying to temp and record CM using FF; Used OPKs for firth time last month and will do this month too

My FF chart - for current month and last month

just bumped the old one back upto the top again. would be agood idea to get it going again.

Elf - for the first 5 months of us TTC, every month we went thru the yes I am... no i'm not... yes I am thing, it got really bad at one stage, and DH and I ahd a huge row over it. now, I'm lettin things happen, but my boobs are feelin v sore and heavy today - I suspect it's just my old Bra's thou! lol.

Hi all... just joining in to see if i can get any info for me dear sister who has been trying for baby for 5 yrs now.. She had op last sept to untangle and free up her tubes, doc then put her on a drug called Chlomid or something like that..
no joy as yet and her periods have gotten lighter and only last 1 day, sometimes 2...
is this normal? anyone been on this drug and had similar experiences??
also she's been usin persona to try to see if she's ovulating.. so far its not showing anything.
She's climbing the walls at this stage poor pet
any advice to pass on to her??

cd 14
DPO 1
Stopped the Comb pill start June 04
fertility tests are normal for DH, Low hormones for me. (second lot was normal) using persona for OV.

LN - how long has she been using persona - in some case's it doesn't show any O for the first few months, also was it re set when she bought it?

Chlomid - is prob a question more for Rantus who unfortunatly has gone on her jolly holidays to OZ have a look on the conception boards to see if theres anything there, i'll ahve a shufty as well for u hon, Hope she's lucky soon.

she's been usin persona for about 4 mths now..
totally new to this thread and have no idea what all the abb's mean? sorry now for being so very green but really want to get some info for her to help her out..
TTC? AF?CD? etc etc

Abbreviations
dh/dp-dear husband/partner
cd- cycle day (counted from the first full day of af)
af- aunt flow - period
ob- old bitch- period
dpo- days past ovulation
cm- cervical mucus

(curtisey of Geordie) np hon, hopefully one of the other girls will be able to help you out more in the morning, as I say thou Rantus is currently on Clomid so she's fully aware of all the goings on as it were. Has ur sister tested?

she just had period last week..
poor thing all she wants in this world is a baby guess you all know on this thread just how she feels.. i feel so helpless, nothing i can do for her, am so blessed to have dd 6yrs and ds 11 mths and had no trouble concieving either of them, everyone around her are having babies,
so hard..
many thaks munn for your patience and help

Tell your sis to peruse the TTC boards on webmed.com. They're an absolute wealth of advice and very friendly and supportive of new members the world over. Failure to ovulate can be caused by MANY things, from premature menopause to thyroid conditions. Your sister needs a referral to see a reproductive endocrinologist, a doctor who specialises in complex fertility issues (for both men and women). Chlomid can cause women to ovulate, but it can also kill off the cervical mucus needed for sperm to live to make it into the Fallopian tubes. A lot of women drink green tea and take Benelyn (NO decongestant) to improve their cervical mucus when using Chlomid.

What she needs now is a lot of support from women in the same situation. Tell her to give the boards a look if she fancies. Good luck!
