TTC NO20 - This time we will graduate...

[horseshoe]

Here it is ladies....

Last one was getting to big and taking ages to load.

debs - not to alarm you here, but I would suggest u get to the drs anyhow as AF was late, and when it came it was clotty so to speak, bit worried there could be something not quite right, (i'm no dr but AF isn't normally clottyis it?) besides is this normal for you? i'd go just to be on the safe side to see what's going on with all your functions etc..

debbsy

Have I OVd this month? Think I may have. Only used the OPKs and CM this month - think is wat on CD18/19. Now on CD22.

Good to hear about Jeddah - how is to all going?

The meal was lovely, but maybe less wine would have been an idea! We had two bottles of champagne, two bottles of white, a bottle of red and after dinner drinks - between 4 of us! The meal was yummy though - it was a michelin star restaurant; 4 courses for £49. Had a light sea bass appertiser; casserole of crayfish and scallops, with fennel bread for starter; Whitby cod for main; cheese board for last course. Luckily we weren't paying - bill was £500 for 4 of us!

debbsy - I agree with Munnzieb. Good idea to go to the GPs and have yourself checked out.

Do you think Munn? mums coming down later today s she is very concerned as i had a stinging pain and stinging in my groin.Feel like i am pestering dr as this hapened in july also and she sent me to the hospital for a blood test and they told me i had had a bio chemical pregnancy but because i had recently been ill in hospital for 4 mths i was very intune with my own body and can pick up on anything that changes with it.

Been sick this morning as well but have taken folic acid on an empty stomach could this be why?

not to sound blonde here but whats a bio chemical Pregnancy? would most definatly go to the drs, don't worry about botehring him, that's what he's there for/ what we all pay our NIcon't for! lol.

Hula - OMG girl! £500 for 4!! again only lol. sounds like you had a good night thou! lol. hopefully the little relaxation will help anything stick! lol.

yes Jeds is doing very well at lot more positive, they're going to keep trying rather than do IVF, so i'm expecting a BFP from her within the next 6 months. they're on a helathy living thing which has really helped with the spearm mobility etc.. good to hear here happier tbh.

Definitely go to GPs debbsey - you need to keep a record of things like this I think. And better to make sure all is order too. I also have no idea what a bio chemical pg is????

That is great news about Jeds; fingers crossed for them - wish them all well!

The hospital said that the egg had fertilised but there was something wrong with it so my body expelled it that was clots too.

Like a very early mc then? So sorry you are going through all this - not good

Yes like an early mc thats when my afs started going hay wire after that i was always bang on 21 days when on the pill when i came off bang on every 28 days normally round tea time since then ive had 25,23,17,19,29,24,17, and the drs just keep saying they will look at us both after 12mths of trying and i cant fib as they know from when i was ill in hospital.

I have got the calista saliva ovulation kit and ive done that (after not using it for 2 mths) and that shows im ovulating????? bloody stupid thing.Need to give myself a kick up the ass i think and stop feeling sorry for myself!

So frustrating and horrible Debbsey. I hope the GP will take care of you asap.

Now my head as well and truly gone my mums friend the midwife has spoken to me and because of how late i was and my symptoms and the physical changes she has told me to test again at the end of the week!!!!

Debbsy - Poor you, you're having a really crappy time aren't you? I wish I could help in some way but just know we are all here for support. TTC is far more stressful than I ever thought it would be.

Well it's now CD46 and I'm bored with keeping count. I've never wanted Af to come as much as I do now!! I'm not really that bothered anymore. Had a chat with God (I'm a Christian BTW!) and I feel better now. It will happen when the time is right.

Had fun last night, DH took me to the hotel where we got married and we had a lovely meal and then drunkenly walked round to all the places we had our photos done and posed again!!! So sad but so funny!! There was a wedding going on there so it was nice to reminisce. Then we came home and had lots of fun!! Thankfully I didn't have a hangover this morning and still made it to church!! The only thing that wasn't so great was that my manager from work happened to be out for her birthday and ended up at the same place as us with a table right beside us! Bumped into her in the toilet and we drunkenly said how we'd eaten and drunk too much, very bizarre seeing her drunk and me being drunk! !!!!! Didn't cost us £500 though hula!!!

CD7 here. Still red light on Persona.

£500 for 4?! Whew! That was some meal.

Don't remember how much Wednesday night was - yeah, that bad!

I've got a wee Persona question. Will it just show red lights the first cycle you use it for, even if there is no O?? As you all know, I haven't O'd since coming off the Pill in October, 2004; just wondering how long it will take for Persona to recognise this - if it continues that I don't O.

ES - yes I normally have red days from 6-14/15 ish, it's perfectly normal apparently for persona not to pick up O for the first 3 months, not sure after that stage, october was 5 months ago? nearly 6, so i'd say hold off to another month b4 writing urself off as they say the pill can take up to 6 months (in rear cases a year) to come out of ur system and for it to settle down again. althou don't want to alarm you and cause additional worry - just BD and hope for the best!

Sounds like a good time Pop!

I do agree BTW that £500 is so expensive for 4 people! The wine was the problem really as it was so expensive. We had pretty much the cheapest off the wine list. Do you want to know the worst thing?????????

Thanks, munnzie! I figured as much. I'm 34, but you can bet I'll be going for a referral as soon as we hit the one year mark (especially w/my 35th birthday just 4 months after that).

I'll just keep using it and hope for the best. Temping doesn't really work for me.

hula - well girl, ur on ur own, I have no sympathy at all! lol.

Expat - my dr refered me after 6 months, is it worht seeing ur earlier (just for the hormone tests if nothing else to put ur mind at rest), I didn't try temping - could never remeber to take my temprature, besides which I used the thermometer for the dog when she was ill, and i'm damned if it was going anywhere nr my mouth after being in her bum! lol. the OKP's well I could never make out if it was a positive or not, even with the idiot proof ones (never got a def positive till persona and 6 months after stopping the pill) then also had a positive OKp just to confirm it was right. so good luck, I know exactly where ur coming from. (i'm only 23 by the way well 22 when was refered, althou i've had a history of gyno/hormone probs)

Wotcha

I'll be joining you officially in August when I've stopped BF DS3 (who took 11 months to conceive.) I'm 39 in July and TBH I'm worried about dwindling fertlity - lots of scary stats.
I need to hear some positive "My neighbour was 103 and got pregnant whilst sitting on the No.22 bus" type stories. Can anyone help?

munnzieb - meanie!!!

Well, Bubble, my gran fell pregnant at 47 spontaneously. Her children were all teens and she thought she was undergoing the change of life. And her life certainly changed! Her baby was born healthy and is now a successful surgeon.

Thanks Expatinscotland I'm going to bung this onto a new thread.
