Anyone else on CD1 who wants to join me?

[nelix2000]

Hi....cycle 2 just started so back to the begining....just wandered if anyone esle was back at the start of their cycle who wants to join me?

There is always an up side! tee hee!

That's annoying about your DH, i had exactly the same situation on monday, my DH was too tired and when pushed he said 'but i thought you were going to be more relaxed now' and i am but not so relaxed that we just don't do it at all!!! still got him the next night so all good, hoepfully.

Oh i got my scan date .... 16th Sept!! argh!! and that is supposed to be urgent, rubbish huh. Plus if i'm not lucky this month i'll probably be having AF then, lovely. Might consider paying privately, what do you ladies think? i feel really quite rotten and fed up of feeling like this now, it's been about 3 months all in all.

oh heeby thats a long wait!......well it seems long, my mum is waiting for surgery and is considered on the urgent list, that was two weeks ago and she still has no appointment!....so really your date is quite good. Once you are there I am sure the care will be excellent, only a handful of NHS doctors are w*nkers I would save my money. It must be nice having a date tho no?

funtime I can feel your annoyance.....it makes me realise why I am gay only kidding, (since it wasnt a choice lol) but I do feel lucky that my DP "gets" my hormonal side since she has it too and we can be crazy, yet understanding together. She feels what I feel and I feel sorry for men on so many levels because sometimes they just dont "get" us..... on the plus side you have him handy for "stuff" unlike us who drive 90 mins to pick it up once a month......jeez its weird lol!!! who would have thought making a baby was soooo much work!!!....when teenagers fall pregnant like...well teenagers!

My DH jokes that to guarantee getting pregnant we should borrow his mum's car and do it in the back seat because it would have worked when we were 16!!

Funtime had the exact same frustration last w/e . What CD are you on? If you grab him tonight will that see you thru?

Heeby (and sorry nelix!) if you can get it quicker I'd pay. I had an early pregnancy scan to confirm MC privately after my awful NHS experience (although to be fair had my ERPC on the NHS and they were brilliant) and it was only £120. For my sanity it was worth every penny. You might just want to check it won't affect you getting treatment on the NHS tho..

How's everyone else? I'm now 6 DPO and no symptoms to spot!

Hi ladies, heeby that's a long time to wait in limbo! although im not sure i'd go private because if you do need treatment on the nhs afterwards you will have to go to the bottom of the list like all the others so that may be even more frustrating! (depending on what you need done of course).

sparky i know what you mean. i can't believe that there is only a 20% chance of conceiving every month yet you see all these teenagers who had a "one night stand" and got pg! amazing. if i'd know that i may not have bothered with the pill!

I wish i knew how many DPO i was but because of how weird my cycles are all i know is i'm CD 17 but not sure when my AF is due because me cycle fluctuates from 28 days to 43!!

Nevermind. Keep positive.

Hi Sparky, I'm on CD 14. I also get ov. pain on the side I'm ov. on and it's my left (good) side this month. Also it's usually a 28 day cycle from the left and a 30 day from the right so no pressure on dh .

Nelix, can I ask a personal question? Feel free to tell me to get stuffed as it's none of my business, but I'm curious to know whether you always knew which one of you would carry the baby or whether you had to come to a decision. Sorry that I'm so nosy .

Hey Ladies

Been a bit quiet as had some rather crap news on Tuesday evening, which i have now processed and put into prospective and am feeling much more positive about. As i think i've mentioned before my lovely GP has referred me for all tests so that she can refer me to my local fertility clinic so should it take us a while and we need some medical interventions it would already be up and running. Had all blood tests back a month ago and and STI and Hormone Fertility, Liver Function tests etc all ok. The last thing was an pelvic ultrasound which to my understanding was to check there were no blockages. so along i went on Tuesday, laying there, trying not to pee, with cold stuff on my belly being poked when the sonographer says "have you heard the term polycystic?" my shocked response "yes, but i'm not quite sure what its got to do with this!". Sonographer then kindly showed me on the big screen my polycystic ovaries and advised me he would contact my GP and i would be sent for bloods for further info. Went home cried, had a large Pimms, cried some more, spoke to the boys who were unconditionally supportive, cried more, got on google and then cried a bit less. Spoke to my GP yesterday who confirmed my hormone levels do NOT indicate PCOS and that approx 1 in 5 women have polycystic ovaries and to try not to worry. My FSH is 3 and my LH is 3.4 which i am lead to believe are ok. So essay over and back to feeling on track although am now CD 16, No CM, No +OPK's and No Peak reading on the CB Fertility monitor so sod knows whats going on. So looks like another few days of raised ass yoghurt potting for us

Once again ladies thanks for listening, well reading!!!

Hope your all well and looking forward to fabulous weekends

x.x.x

hi makingafamily what do you mean by "raised ass yoghurt making"? sorry i'm a bit naive!

Sorry to hear about your results though. My sister has PCOS and she has to monitor her cycles regularly but they can test your fertility (which it seems they have) and they can give you tablets to make you ovulate at a certain time every month so not all doom and gloom!

Fingers crossed for you though xxx

Sorry to hear that you've had a rough time makingafamily. Hope that you get some answers soon and fingers crossed for this month.

I know about the raised arse, but I'm agog to know what the yoghurt pot is for (or am I being very sheltered like wanabemum ?)

hahahaha oops sorry! We are a gay couple with a known donor!! Hence the yoghurt potting!! lol

ha ha......that made me laugh!
It's so good to share all this. All of us have different challenges / issues / embarassing stories and it definitely makes you feel better to share them. Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm off to Ireland and will be (attempting) to don some sexy undies and have some non BD nookie - remind DH why he found me sexy in the first place (hopefully). Most recent images of me naked with legs against wall and then sobbing over MC and complaining of cramps have not bee ideal. Think we need the romance back. see you next week ladies.......looking forward to any updates.

Am thinking of you makingafamily and hope you have a good weekend and feel a bit better emotionally (and pysically) after it.....xx

Hi all, great to have your input, i have debated lots about the private scan option, i have private health cover at work so when diagnosed i will then use this i expect, and it looks like our local private clinic offer pelvic scans for £75 which is do-able?? hmm. it is only just over 2 weeks, but i'm quite impatient and worried to say the least!

I had to giggle too at the yoghurt potting (my naive imagination runs wild now!)

becky my Dh and yours must have been through the same recently, we've been in all those situations too and it would be nice to just have an 'early night' without the 'is it right, legs on the wall fuss' sigh.

This is a great thread by the way and such a big part of my life now x

makingafamily so sorry about your news, but there is a positive in it all!....don't stress about it....., my partner has it but she has it quite bad, ie her overies erupt when an egg is released and she can bleed etc...not nice

funtime when I met my now partner my DS was 6 months old, he was conceived in a 4 year relationship with my ex partner who (when i was 4 weeks before my due date) decided it was all to much and left! the joy of non biological parents! but as it turns out my new wonderful DP cannot wait to adopt DS or make our next one, but as she has PCOS, a good job etc it makes health/financial sense for me to be the one to do it again. Being that when she met me I was a single parent and a student. So it works well for us, I can be a stay at home mum and do my degree, she works, and then I will work once I qualify

Thanks for clearing that up makingafamily .

I too am off on holiday soon, hoping that it'll make make the 2ww fly by .

Becky do you have any children already? I'm only asking as once he's seen you in childbirth there's no going back!

My poor dh had to endure me red-faced screaming 'I need a poooooooooo', to which the midwife calmed replied, "no dear, that's it's head". I was also yelling "it's stuck, it's stuck" . Not to put you off before you've even started...

And he still says that he finds me gorgeous, although that might be more to do with my cooking .

Thanks nelix, it's lovely that your DP has such a great relationship with your DS . Fingers crossed for you both this month.

OMG funtime I had to laugh at the wanting a poo bit! hadn't even thought of that. Well you've certainly openned my eyes!

And must say the "yoghurt potting" bit is very funny!! Made me smile anyway.

Hope you have a lovely weekend becky and i'm sure your DH doesn't need reminding about why he found you sexy! enjoy it though

Another naive query ........ BD-ing??? think i know but not sure

Hello lovely ladies....so much to take in

makingafamily - poor you; so rubbish to be left with a tiny piece of (potentially awful) info But...have several friends with full blown PCOS (which is doesn't sound you have at all) and they all have DC!! Most conceived naturally too so don't worry yet. Sounds like you have a fab GP (and friends!) too Have also laughed (a lot) at the yogurt pot and raised ass !! So don't give up hope yet!! (PS - when I got PG with DS, had no idea about CM and never managed to get a positive OPK and still got knocked up on the first month!! - when are you due to test?)

nelix - firstly am shocked at ex DP! Given the thought and planning that you need to go thru before having a DC (no teenage one night stands for you!) can't believe you were left on your own that PG! Anyway - new DP sounds fabulous - what a great family you have :O

heeby - £75 sounds good value (am guessing you don't live in the South East like me!!) have you come to any decisions?

Totally agree on the 'legs on the wall' issue. Last time I got pg, DH was passing me a pillow to prop under my bum for 20 minutes! Sort of stops the romance doesn't it?! Personally, I love arguing about whether or not to have sex....being too tired/stressed/grumpy always seems to come up at the worst time . Makingafamily and nelix I assume your donors don't get any option ? They have to feel up to it!!

And I've realised I won't be able to test early as have a house full of visitors next week (won't be able to hide not having a glass of wine if I know I'm PG), so looks like I'll just be waiting for AF to come (just in time for a w/e away ) Who am I kidding....I'll just be testing 2 days early and then cursing the BFN that I'm sure is coming!!

xx

Wanabe I think BD is baby-dancing....you might also see DTD (doing the deed) and GOTF (or something like that)? But I have no idea what that is!!

Baby dancing - i.e. sex, nookie, the dreadful deed or (when you've been trying for too long) the last of a list of jobs before you go to bed .

ha ha, ok now i'm a bit more clued up!
thanks ladies

hey sparky don't be too hard on yourself, you never know what's around the corner. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for a BFP for you Keep positive!

Reading some of your entries puts my irregular cycles in perspective. I've had negative tests for hormone deficiencies and PCOS so am relatively lucky I guess. It's just me being very impatient that's causing the problem.
Oh and bought Grapefruit juice today ....... yuk!! thanks again ladies for the tip

I'll try anything though. my mate is about to burst, due date 6th Sept so everyone is cooing over her and so i am although i am very excited about it too

Keep going ladies, one of us is bound to be lucky soon right? the power of positive thought eh?

Good evening ladies, am sat watching The Wedding Date which is great chick flick material!

Hi sparky yes i do live in the south east but not london where the expensive places are! I'm going to wait i think, it's only just over 2 weeks and unless i have worst symptoms i will try and put it out of my mind and wait. after all whats a few more weeks on a few months of sickness!

nelix OMG!!! what a nice ex partner you have! NOT. i guess sometimes people just keep on shocking you, but then of course if that hadn't happened you'd never have met your DP and be having another baby soon! So you should thank her really! How old is your DS, i can't remember if you said before? my DD is 18 months and already we are seeing a glimpse of that terrible two phase!

Hi funtime & Wannabe glad you are enjoying (!) the grapefruit juice, i still don't have any cm really but will keep going with the juice.

Hi Girls. This maybe a bit personal, although I'm not sure those rules apply on here going by the conversations already had!! How long does your CM last for during a cycle? Mine has been around for over a week now. I don't want to get too excited but I am having growing pains!!, got a liking for milk again (as in last preg) and have a very sensitive smell! Probably all in my head as i'm so excited about the whole thing

Hi bubble welcome to our cosy hideaway where we are all addicts of the grapefruit (it deserves it's own accronym now surely? GF??) anyhow yes and all seem to be going through the same things at the same time, it's a lovely cosy family.

My CM lasts for one day usually, i used to have more when i was on the pill (for other reasons presumably) Is your CM happening around the same time as OV time? I only get it at the time i OV, mind you my cycles have been weird since MC so i'm not paying too much attention to anything now!! (glass half full i promise!)

heeby my DS is 18 months as well, he is getting good at throwing himself on the sofa in a tantrum now too!

Hey bubble, be as excited as you want, thats what the internet is for!....we can say things to strangers we would enver say in RL...and its fab venting/discussing on here! With regard to CM I am not sure what you mean, as CM is present and ever-changing throughout the cycle, do you already think you are pregnat? if so when are you testing?oooh hwo exciting!.....

Who else is waiting to test? and who is waiting to BD?or insem in our case makingafamily{wink]
