****TTC NOVEMBER 2009 BABIES**** Boarding Now !! Everyone Welcome

[FifiOK]

Hello everyone, no tickets required, just jump on the TTC Bus, and let's hope we'll all be getting off at the November Stop.

Add your name to the list as follows:

For anyone not familiar with the acronyms....that's what number child you are tring to conceive, how many cycles you've been trying, what day you are on, and what your usual cycle length is.

FifiOK TTC#3 Cycle4 CD1 UCL 28

Some good and not so good news since I was on last, hope everyone's doing ok.
I shall be testing tonight, will let you know how it goes in the morning!

Good luck SlipoftheTongue.

Am contemplating relative merits of First Response test in next couple of days - my cycle has varied from 21 days to 35 days lately so as only on CD 24 probably a bit early (particularly as I have PCOS, unlikely to succeed first month on Met) but it is starting to get to me....

Someone tell me not to do it!

Don't do it!!!! (Do really...)

Congrats Koumak. So sorry for you Bubble and Scorpio love and hugs to you both.

I've been keeping myself busy this week, we moved house yesterday and still have two large boxes left to unpack and then get the house sorted, but the curtains and the pictures are up so feels like home already.

heya guys!

ive devloped a craving for soft mints today! im not sure if its too early for symtoms to be showing. ive also been hot a lot when im usually freezing cold. im also wondering when is too early to test as i am on clomid with pcos which can leave gaps of up to 6 months with out periods

Hi all AF arrived for me today, bang on time! Not upset though - its my first "natural" AF since coming off the pill iyswim, so really quite reassured that everything is working! So, lots of bd-ing this month (hopefully !)

Really sorry to hear your news bubble and scorpio, sort of puts the whole thing into perspective. hope you give yourselves all the time you need.

many congrats Koumak!! Really pleased for you!! Hope you have lovely, easy pregnancy if there is such a thing!

I've updated the list with my details at the bottom.

heya all, im thinking that some thing is not right this month. theres a funny feeling in my tummy and ive never experianced it before. im drinking alot more and am boiling hot all the time im more tired- not sure if day 19 is too early to exeriance preg like signs. any response would be great!!!

Congratulations to koumak - hope its a sticky little bean!!!

Bubble & scorpio - so sorry to hear your news, I'm sending you all my best wishes for future sticky beans.

In the post today, I've received a Monday morning appointment with a gyne consultant at the local hospital. I'm very surprised at this because after my mc I had a disagreement with my GP about the existence of luteal phase defect, and assumed she only said she'd refer me as a ruse to get me out of her office .

Not entirely sure what to expect; can anyone shed light on what might occur (questions, tests etc)? I've been trying to put my mc out of my mind & focus on the future, so this has thrown me a little.

hopeforbundleofjoy if you ov'd early in your cycle these could be pg signs, or else you may have a lurgy. Might they be side effects of the Clomid (I know absolutely nothing about that stuff)?

im going for bloods on friday to check that i did ovulate this month. ive not had any side effects from clomid i only take it on days 5 to 9 of my cycle. im not a 100% when i ovulated, but me and dp bd since the day af finnished- every day not missing one!!!

Hi all...not been onfor acouple of days - so sorry to hear your news Bubble and scorpio.

Well, I'v ehad my long-awaited (7months) appt with gynae this morning...was stressing about it and ready to vent if I was given anymore crap but to my surprise we were told that after being on 7 months 50mg clomid it's going to be best to turn to assisted conception meaning IUI/IVF!
Can you believe that!! I was stunned as my cousin has been under same gynae and been given the run-around for forever (over 12 months of clomid)! I was told that they would not like to prescribe me any more clomid because it's such a powerful and toxic drug and has a lot of horid side-effects. They said from my scans/bloods in first month of clomid it showed that I was ovulating so there would be no use upping my dosage anymore.

SO! I have been in a wierd mood all day, not wanting to talk to anyone and feeling a little lost to be honest.

I mean the past few weeks I have been goin on and on to my sister (poor thing) about getting onto IVF waiting list as it's quite long in some areas....and now that they have sent my form off to ensure we are eligible for NHS treatment, I don't know how I feel.

I feel upset actually. It has really come to this. I htink deep-down I was hoping that we could conceive naturally albeit with the help of clomid but not getting overly obsessed about my cycle and what to eat, what not to eat. Now it seems nothing we do will make it happen, only possibly IUI/IVF - how romantic and sponaneous is that? NOT!

I know I'm sounding ungrateful but I'm not, I'm glad that things are moving on, they said waiting times have gone down a lot - about 6/8 months!
So unless some miracle happens, I guess I'm not entitled to my seat on this bus anymore???

Sorry for long thread, just needed to get that off my chest!! Have been irritable, sicky, moody and weepy all day!

BUT congratulations koumak - what wonderful news, that made me smile a HUGE smile when I read - about time we had a BFP here!!

Hey everyone

Lots going on in here yesterday, some good; some not so good...

Sorry to read about your sad news bubble and scorpio - I hope you're both doing okay.

How did you get on last night slipofthetongue? I'm thinking of testing this weekend as I'm now on CD 37 so I guess I'm 10 days late. Probably just a glitch in the cycle, but might as well check. I've been feeling v hot too hopeforbudleofjoy and I'm usually freezing. No idea if it's a sign though .

So, I'm wondering which test is the most reliable? Georgimama - how would you rate First Response? I'm stuck between that and Clear Blue...

Good luck at the hospital on Monday MissieMoosMummy. And good news about the IVF TishB - You don't sound ungrateful at all; in fact you probably feel like a lot of women do when faced with the reality of IVF...I hope everything goes smoothly for you from here on in!

Hominthesun - Happy new home - hope you're all settled in now!

It's almost the weekend - yay!

Hi All,

I'll be testing on saturday unless af gets me first.
Good luck all

morning ladies just hang in there [hugs] although I have been very very lucky to get pregnant both times really quickly I sort of know what you are going through my (older) sister had massive problems getting pregnant and I ended up having a baby before her which was really upsetting BUT she's just had her second baby so it does work out I am sending you all loads of baby dust and fingers crossed

Also in regards to the early pregnancy symptoms. I knew I was pregnant the very next day. Several symptoms: tingling in the breast and week later larger breasts (seriously even my hubby noticed), nausea (but actually only being sick that once on the tube) and thirst, being hot all the time and funny taste in my mouth. Also my tummy gets bigger with every meal so in the evening I look about 16 weeks (compared to when I was pregnant with my first).

Morning everyone, hope you're all doing OK today.
Well, I tested last night - and again this morning just to be sure! - and yes, I am pregnant!! Very excited, although it's weird as it's such early days that I haven't any symptoms so I don't really feel pregnant - it is odd that I'm looking forward to morning sickness to persuade myself I actually am?!

SlipOfTheTongue wonderful news, congratulations.

Fabby news slipofthetongue. You're all inspiring me to test!!!

Congratulations slipofthetongue!!!
What would be the due date then?

Congrats SlipofTheTongue, welcome aideesmum! Can we add our graduates rather than just taking them off the list? Is interesting statistically if nothing else!

I'm planning to test a week on Friday if AF doesn't get me before then - will be CD32.

TishB - good luck with IUI/IVF, I'm presuming your partner has had full sperm count/motility tests and they will make a decision as to which to try accordingly. Our plan of action last time (although unfortunately we were having to do it privately) was 6 months Metformin, 6 months Clomid, then ICSI. This was because as well as my PCOS we were contending with DH's low sperm count/motility.

It improved with better diet and vitamins however and we were very fortunate to conceive within 3 months on Metformin. We will follow the same plan of attack this time I suppose, although the first two stages at least are NHS this time.

Looking for advice...going to pop out at lunch time today to buy a pregnancy test. But which one to buy? So many to choose from
