1 WEEK TO GO!!

[spats]

Anyone else got 1 week until AF is due???

Oh no... That's hard . Just keep positive - your time will come.

Ray How long have you been trying if you don't mind me asking?

We have been TTC for 4 and half years. Had IUI in May but had to pay and as failed counldnt afford to do another, trying to save to perhaps do IVF.

How long were you trying?

That's tough RAY. I can only imagine what you're going through as I was extremely lucky to get my (at the moment) bfp in only my 2nd month of trying. I did have a mmc at 10 weeks in July, so thinking the 'fertile after miscarriage' thing may hold some weight!
fwiw I had a good friend who went through IUI and was successful on 3rd try. She said her consultant said for some reason 3rd attempts tended to have the most success.

It is tough i hate it, the thing is it seems to be going on forever i realy hope it has happened this month i'm beginning to get realy bitter and i realy dont want to be.

Realy must get off mamager will be back soon will be logged back in bout 4 as will be home then.

Speak soon and baby dust to all.

Ladies i have just been to the loo and seen some thick white discharge (so so sorry for TMI) its not like EWCM as its not stretchy, when i touched it it just went quite dryish. Ive never had this before so does anyone know if its normal?? AF is due 17th!

Diege congratulation on your pregnancy, i also had a MMC at 9 weeks back in july, it makes me feel positive reading yuur success story!

Hey guys, lovely to find you...Can i join in the fun?!! i am on my second cycle of clomid after ttc fo 5 years....boo! I am due on sun/mon..31 day cycle last month...the scan showed i had two healthy folicles and the blood result showed i ovulated so fingers crossed...it was all positive last month but no pregnancy....lets hope this one sticks...symptoms>>>felt like period approaching for about a week, weeing lots, and now have weird pulling feeling in lower tummy...?? good luck to all....

Fingers crossed for you this month RAY, god knows you deserve it.
Babymadness, weird pulling sensations sounds good!
LULLY, thank-you . Sorry about your mmc - how far along were you? I am still ultra paranoid and scared to test next week in case line doesn't get darker. It's really hard to relax after a miscarriage I think, but if it's not to be it's not to be. Really trying not to get too excited, though if something were to go wrong I'd rather it happended now than find out at 10 weeks.

Lully, yeasterday I had some dry type white discharge too, dont remember having it before. Anyone any ideas?? AF due 17th for me too!!

Deige i was 9 weeks when i found out about the MMC but fetus stopped developing at 7 weeks. I have only have one normal period since so im not really feeling that hopeful anymore.

Although having the same symptoms as Clairey80 looks promising and we are both due on the same day!! FIngers crossed ah!

hi all and welcome babymadness!!

Oh Ray, I know how you feel. We have been trying for 18months now. Have not really felt any concerns...until now. Really feeling down today. Another one of my friends had a lovely baby boy this morning (friend had baby boy 22/8/08, another had baby boy 2/10/08, and another baby boy 6/10/08).

Im so thrilled for her but great great feeling of sadness and hope that seems to be slipping further and further away. I dont want to turn into they type of person that cant feel happy for her friends but at the moment it seems to be uncontrollabe.

Heard the news this morning and just wanted to cry, especially as i can really feel the witch approaching. Things are not going to get any better any time soon as have another 7 friends/relatives/colleagues due in the next 4 months.

Trying to stay positive (feel better for having this rant. Dont really want to talk too deeply about this with dh as i know it will upset him and he will just try to do lots of nice things to try to make me feel better (but wont).

if when the witch comes this month we are having some infertility investigations so at least we might get some answers. Sorry for the rant ladies. Its just nice to know you are not alone sometimes (although i want you all to be up the duff too!!!!)

rant over ....until next birth announcement or e mail full of new baby pics!

Lovely, you sound very strong in light of all your friend's babies. Let's hope you'll be lucky this month, though at leats if not you may get some answers from fertility specialist/
LULLY, my mmc fetus also died at 7 weeks - think it's a very common time sadly = read somewhere that's this is when chromosome problems come into play. It's really hard trying again, and after euphoria of first af it can feel hopeless getting back into the whole ttc business. Say strong, it happened for me and I'm an old bird

Ah...thanks for the welcome

Babymonster, you are so not alone. We tried for so long, with everyone telling me i was young so didnt need testing...when i finally got tested i have polisistic ovaries and inconsistent ovulation.... and my hubby had slightly low sperm motility....it all takes so long and doctors always say...time is on your side....well it doesnt feel that way....as i am still not pregnant! I am 28...even tho thats not baby world old...i've been in this game for 5 years without knowing there were problems! They suspect ther will be need for IUI or IVF but my husbands motility has improved due to giving up drinking...poor man....i gave up too and now i'm ovulating thanks to clomid.

Dont give up hope....this will happen for you i'm sure..it is the worst pain when someone is pregnant....most of my friends have had a baby and they now know how difficult it is for me, which is lovely but doent help when i walk past a pregnant lady and want to cry!!

we'll get there ....i hope!

Just popping in to say still no AF...did test yest but not with fmu but was negative but as I ov on what I think was CD15/16 I don't think that CD28 was the day my period due iyswim....my boobs hurt more than normal - carrying DS down the stairs today was a bit painful and that never happens.

My wee seems (tmi!) a brighter yellow and I'm very hungry and slightly icky...but...this could just be PMT....Am knicker checking so much, Andrex shareholders are going to the Bahamas at my expense!

Hi Babymadness,

Goodness 5 years and i thouight i was the longest cant believe you stole my place he he he. Its good that hubby sperm is better and now your OV the chances should be pretty good for you.
I know what you mean by them saying time is on your side, they seem to think that as your young you shouldn't worry, im 27, and so many people say 'Oh you have years yet' ok i get that but i started trying 4 and a half years ago so i could have children young and close together not when i'm 35-40. No offence to anyone who is older theres nothing wrong with that its when you choose to and i dont want to be older when i have more children. I also get very annoyed when people say to 'relax' i just want to hit them very very hard (wouldnt of course) what do the mean by relax, i just want to say when they have been trying for a long time then they can tell me what to do but until then just go away. Good luck to you for this month when is Af due ?

Puss,
if you Ov on day 15-16 Af wont be due til CD30-31 so would be too early to tell i think give it a few more days and then try again if nothing. Your symptoms sound good though esp realy sore bbs meant to be a sign.

Loveymonster, so sorry you're felling down its awful when others have the babies and are due and when friend get pg. I have 3 friends now and my sis, my other sis has had 3 in the time have been trying and same with another friend cousin has had 1 and another friend, girl at work has had 2. it always seemed that as soon as one was born another 3 would be PG its the pits. i just want to be happy for them too but find myself feeling very very jealous and wondering why not us. We dont have any probs at all just 'unexplained infertility' thanks for the insite docs !!!!!

Diege i am keeping fingers crossed that everything works out and you go full term and have a lovely heathy baby. I'm sure you will there shouldnt be any reason not to but understand your worry.

Lots of baby dust to all and good luck for all those waiting for Af i realy hope it doesnt arrive for any of us

Thanks RAY . The old 'relax' thing is probably the most irritating comment of them all! I get the opposite to you - 'you'd better get going if you want another - your eggs will be on the turn' (nice). I'm 38 but not quite menapausal yet .
So who is our first test-ee?

No you still have years in you too he he !!!!
I bet you'll have this one and then be PG again within a few months.

Not testing yet to scared to there are 2 that have and are on this thread so we need a third. I'm hoping that me. Although thats such a stupid thing to say as i hate it when people say that 'it always come in 3s' Yeah right more like 10s all around me except me. he he.
Must stop or will be bitter and twisted before i know. Opps already there he he he

I had a 30 day cycle last month too so I'm not getting too excited just yet but its hard! Am quite crampy but its more on one side...its just so hard though because the fecking PMT symptoms are soooo similar that you just drive yourself mad! I mean am I imagining that I feel sicky?!! I didn't get anything sickness with DS until after the 6 week or so....

Meh!

My goodness this is now a busy thread i can't keep up with everything. I only posted this at the beginning of the week and so much is happening!! Questions i hear congrats in order, another lucky one. I have good feeling about this thread. Still 3 days for me until AF but i never tested with my other 2 until i was a week late as i was paranoid so may not test on mon anyway!!! My boobs are really aching but that is a sign of PMT. This last week had really dragged- roll on th eweekend. Anyone else expecting AF on Mon so we can console each other when it comes?

Thanks for understanding messages! Feel a bit of a fraud as only trying 18mths and many more on here for so much longer.

DH came home and asked me whats wrong. had a bit of a chat and weep and now feel heaps better! Have had ever so slight spotting so think she is definately 'imminant'. oh well will def hang around here as sending loads of good vibes for all of you lovely ladies

oo forgot to tell you!! i'm due on sunday or monday....gonna test tomorrow i think....wasnt going to do one as i really cant bare seeng that silly little single line, but its getting the better of me again! hubby goes away for a week on mon so could do with gettng over it with him here.

Good luck for tomorrow babymadness

Think AF is on her way

ok, so i'm now 10/11dpo. had that little bleed on tuesday eve (bright red, approx a tea spoon absolute max?)then had brown cm on wednesday, nothing on thursday, but had another bright red bit in the eve, not much though, then nothing today...?????

Morning . How are things PUSS? You're right how similar pmt and pregnancy symoptoms can be - hoping it's the latter for you.
DINKY - still sounds like implantation for me. For many implantation bleeding is more of a process than a single event, hencve the confusion with af starting but never quite getting into full flow!
Any news BABYMADNESS?
