TTC no. 119 - fingers crossed for more BFPs!

[HunkerMunker]

Thought I'd start another thread as the last one was SO successful but is starting to take a while to load and I keep losing my place in it!

A quick update on my stats - on CD39 of third cycle since getting AF back after DS was born in April 2004 (10.5 months old).

Have endometriosis and PCOS so have decided to let nature take its course over the next few months and if I fall pg naturally, then so be it. If I don't, then we'll try clomid again (worked first time for us with DS).

Am still breastfeeding, so have erratic cycles - they were always long (so far have had AF visit twice and had 50 and 42-day cycles).

No idea when I ov - may try OPK's next month if no success this month (and don't think I am pg atm).

Think that's it!

Lots and lots of babydust to all the ttcers and lots and lots of babyglue to those who've just had BFPs (and more congrats!). xxx

i am sure they will get to the target hehe.

Did the test at 5am this morning after about an hours sleep (excited me??!!) and guess what??? It didn't work - no lines at all! Was so gutted! Am off to Boots shortly for some more, dont know if I'll be able to wait til the morning though!

Thanks Munzie and hooray for your dh being home soon - he won't know whats hit him!

Forgot to ask Sparkly - did your Dr tell you why you had the break through bleeding whilst on Clomid at all? I totally forgot to ask last night when i spoke to him and don't want to call him again and sound like a neurotic old bag!

Hello all TTC-ers!! CD27 now and trying desperately to find signs of pg but none there.

Munzie - Thanks and glad to hear your Dh is coming home for good. He won't be able to walk soon I doubt!!!

Anchovies - Try not to kill the people in Boots for giving you a duff test....... on seconds thoughts kill away they deserve it for putting you through that!! Hope the next one's got better results.

Well I have to head to the hell hole, I mean work place for another day so bye for now. I can't do baby dust but if I could I would for everyone.

Bye!

right then girls, I have one of my jokes for you, (in fact i'm gonna have to chase Rudy and tell her aout it as well!) entitled do u know dave???

Dave was bragging to his boss one day, "You know, i know everyone thereis to know.Just name someone, anyone, and i know them" Tired of his boasting, his boss called his bluff, "OK, Dave, how about Tom Cruise?""No drama's boss, Tom and i are old friends, and i can prove it." So Dave and his boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise's door, and Tom Cruise shouts, "Dave! What's happening? Great to see you! Come on in for a beer!" Although impressed, Dave's boss is still sceptical.

After they leave Cruise's house, he tells Dave that he thinks him knowing Cruise was just lucky. "No, no, just name anyone else," Dave says. "President Bush," his boss quickly retorts. "Yup," Dave says, "Old buddies; let's fly out to Washington D.C." .... And off they go. At the White House, President Bush spots Dave on the tour and motions him and his boss over, saying, "Dave, what a suprise, i was just on my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let's have a cup of coffee first and catch up." well the boss is very shaken by now but still not totally convinced.

After they leave the White House grounds he expresses his doubts to Dave, who again implores him to name anyone else. "The Pope," his boss replies. "Sure!" says Dave. "My folks are from Poland, and i've known the Pope a long time."...So off they fly to Rome. Dave and his boss are assembled with the masses in Vatican Square when Dave says, "This will never work, i can't catch the Pope's eye among all these people. Tell you what, i know all the guards, so let me just go upstairs and i'll come out on the balcony with the Pope." And he disappears into the crowd, headed toward the Vatican.

Sure enough, half an hour later Dave emerges with the Pope on the balcony and waves in his bosses direction. But by the time Dave returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and is surrounded by paramedics. Working his way to his boss' side, Dave asks him, "What happened!" His boss looks up and says, "i was doing fine until you and the Pope came out on the balcony, and the man next to me said,

" Who the f's that on the balcony with Dave?"

well anchovies? BFP or BFN??

hello everyone
good luck anchovies.
Bev - did you get those OV tests? I posted them yesterday.

Well I had first session at acupuncturist today - very interesting and feeling positive. CD8.

Still haven't done it! Have convinced myself that the test that didn't work is a sign that I'm just going to upset myself! Having said that am seriously considering the 24 hour tesco now!

Katierocket what did the accupuncturist (is that a word?!) say? Are you hopeful that it will help?

he was really positive, said I had a lot on my side. He's got loads of experience with fertility problems. I think about 40% of his work is with women TTC. He did some 'treatment' and all around my ovaries and that area, feel really warm - honestly, I know it sounds odd. We'll see anyway, I go back again in 2 weeks.

No chance to catch up yet, and had way too much wine - DH brought home a v. wealthy client for drinks - so drank lots!!! Summary of today's gossip anyone?

CD3 here, AF kind of still here. Month 7 awaits...

hi katie.sorry for hassling you, but why did you hav to see doc for your results, couldnt you just get them over the phone? well i am assuming you saw doc for that.thanks

I'm back - after a short period of feeling a bit down - comes to me sometimes - decided it maybe wasn't a good time TTC. Don't know why really because I always perk up again, its just at the time I feel too miserable to do much, down on myself etc, but now I am all jolly, happy and excited at the thought of TTC. Do you realise if it happens int he next few weeks girlies it'll be a Christmas baby! Is that good or not so good do you think? Not sure if its fair on the child to have a birthday very near Christmas, or is that just me being silly??

pipsy, i wouldlove that kind of xmas present.
i do always feel like that, v v v low after ov and before af.its a few days where i feel so miserable until af arrives and then i feel ready to ttc all over again.hence, the roller coaster!!hehe

Blimey, not on for a day or so and what a lot to catch upon. 8 days till i can test but i prob wont bother wasting my money

Babybop, how are you? Has the bleeding stopped? I have bled almost constantly since my son was born. It will stop and then af comes and then it wont stop again. I have to get tablets to stop it usually. Last month i bled for 4 weeks, i def ovulated though this month so fingers crossed. xxxxxxx

Sparkly darling whats the news? How are you feeling? How did the scan go or have you not been yet.

Hula, you all set for bding

Hope everyone else is ok too, its taking me ages to read everyones threads!!!! Fresco you cleaned your little uns teeth yet?

I really don't mind when the baby's birthday is now. It would be lovely any time I think Infact, when I fell pg the first time (which sadly ended in an ealry mc) the due date was 31st December.

CD4 of month 7. I have started taking some magnesium capsules this month to see if that helps. Have to try and persuade DH to take zinc as well I think though.

Do you think that there is anything else we could be doing?

Hula sorry for being thick but why magnesium, i havnt heard about this!!!! Tell, how does it help.

wasn't sure whether to post on this thread anymore given my circumstances. I went to the doctor Monday and Tuesday and am now going into have the scan on Thursday. My GP, who was very lovely and understanding, said it is likely I've had an imcomplete miscarriage because I've had hardly any bleeding other than that on Friday night and a bit on Monday day/night. So she think's I'll need to get that sorted tomorrow, too. Dreading it to be honest. Will be very glad when it's all over.

Hope you're all well and good luck to anyone who is testing soon.

I was told magnesium can help as it sorts out your cycle, etc. I seem to have a shortish second half of the month - and apparantly it can bring that back into line. Who knows? I will try most stuff now!

Sarkly - of course you should still post here (if you want to) - we are all here to support. I'm so sorry to hear what you are going through. I hope the apointment tomrrow goes okay, or as well as it can do. Take care of yourself.

Sparkly, how awfull for you. Dont leave the thread. You will be still ttcing anyway when feeling up to it, and we all worry and care how your feeling. I had an early mc too so i know how down your feeling.

Meant to get some angus castus too, but forgot to call at chemist this weekend. Wonder if it is too late for this month now?

pip, well i'm on for a feb baby i've decided, well jan or feb, but I must say I have a funny feeling that i'll catch in may time ish, it will be due 10th feb and will be a girl, don't ask me why but here's to hoping!

((((hugs))))) sparkley you post here just as long as u feel u want to hon, we're all here for you. if there any chance you could still be PG?

Hula - magnesium? not sure on it, i'm back to the starflower to thin CM, and also angus catus but that apprently brings OV forward, and levels hormones out, which I don't want to do, really I wnat to delay AF by 2-3 days for this/the next cycle, so that i'll be right at the start of my fertile period when DH comes home instead of in the middle of it. - would Mag help for that? (althou i'm reluctant to keep pumping my body full of crap - b4 TTC I didn't even take a paracetomal for a headache. now i'm like a walking pharmasist! lol) oh and also i'm takin pregnacare (or well will start taking it all again once this cycle is finished)

Oh, I take the pregnacare too

I like pregnancare, althou they're like bloody horse tablets arnt they! lol.
