HI All, Have to be quick, boss is in a meeting and as I have had MS there is piles of work to do....

So, firstly, a big congratulations to Kyte !!!

I will be on Week 11 tomorrow and MS has subsided (touch wood).

I scanned some conversations about preseed... goush, I really recommend the product. The first month of trying I got a BFP. I think it does hold the sperm in for longer but also nourishes the sperm so they live for longer. If you don't have the right environement then they die really quickly as per the DP.

Okay, have to go. Will promise to try and catch up on the posts sometime this week. I am off on hols next week (celebration of turning 40 this Saturday gulp)

Take care all and baby dust to all.

Hi all - just been trying to catch up with all the posts

jools - sorry to hear things are so shitty with you and DH at the moment. I really do feel for you. Me and my DH have had our fair share of rows during the past two years all linked to ttc. I guess try not to be too rash and try to keep him talking with you about how he is feeling.

yellow - glad to hear you're feeling positive today. do you have your docs appointment? I can't remember, but have been thinking of you.

iggy / broodzilla - good to hear how you're getting on. Over the past week I've really been wondering whether this pregnancy is actually happening as symptoms have been so slight or absent but I did a test on Friday and the line was so dark I had to be! Boobs were very sore last night and I have had a few waves of slight nausea but apart from that nothing much to report. One week to go until my early scan. It's going to be a long week...

kyte - forgot to say interesting point about hcg surge and then levelling out. Lets hope that's what's happening with me too. x

queenie1 seems like we having same lack of symptoms... partly feeling pleased and party feeling worried!

Have booked private scan for 30th March - couldn't help myself but seemed such a long wait till 30 April when it would be 12 weeks..

Sorry to hear things are difficult Jools ttc can be really stressful, it is difficult to think of anything else.

Glad to hear you are feeling more positive Yellow.

I am not sure about Preseed I have tried it but no BFP yet. I am thinking of temping next month if I don't get BFP just to make sure we are not missing vital time. I have been monitoring CM and weeing on sticks but maybe I am missing something. The BD fest was not as plentiful as I had hoped (we did manange it 2 times the day before OV but not since)as DH was too knackered (he is working really hard)
I found myself having a go about him about the lack of action and he said that I was becoming obsessed (I guess he has a point). I cannot help it though, I am very grateful for the two wonderfull children I have but really long for another.

still no sign of AF but all im getting is bfn on tests. im realy confused last tested wed or thursday last week. any sugestions???????

hi guys, sorry have been away for while.

Havent manage to catch up completely however thought that i would update you.
i am 5 DPO and have been doing my temp and it would suggest a problem as my temp isnt remaining above the control line which would show i have low progesterone which would explain the failure to fall Pg and the mc when i do finaly fall.

Anyway have to shoot got to pick DD up from school.

HFBJ i realy hope you get your BFP soon.

evening all,

well - BFN for me. Its Cd28 today so i'm guessing its pretty accurate and that i'll get AF in the next couple of days. Am really gutted because this is late for me and had convinced myself i might have been lucky.

hope everyone else is ok.

Hello,

Went to Gp and nurse today with whole list of questions. Was generally helpful. Gp was happy to refer me to fertility specialist at Uch and said appt should be within 18 weeks. She also said blood tests from last year when I thought I might be pregnant and wasn't showed good lh and fsh levels and not indicative of too bad pcos. She also took my suspicions of having had chemical pregnancies seriously and said important to find out at hospital whether problem is getting pregnant or it sticking and was encouraging that if latter which CPs would suggest then progestorone would help.

Nurse did swab to check whether my thrush cleared up. She did smear at same time. She said that cervix looked healthy and normal.

They also said the lletz from 7 years ago has no effect on conception.

So all in all went as well as it possibly could. Am really quite relieved.

flinkski so sorry to hear you got a BFN

yellow that sounds really positive - your GP sounds good. Also good that you being referred - either you will get PG before the appt (fingers crossed) or if not, at least you can move forward in working out why it might not be happening for you at the mo.

Well it's 7dpo in the Funtime house and a BFN as anticipated. I'm using tests which detect levels higher than 10miu/ml, so we'll see what Thursday brings.

Flintski - sorry about the BFN. What type of test did you use?

Yellow - good to hear that you've got a GP who takes these things seriously. I've got my appointment for my blood test results today and the lady I see is fabulous. It makes such a difference.

Jools - hope things are a little better since having a talk with your dh.

Iggy - I'm a great believer in early scans. I've had a consultant say to me 'well, if we'd scanned you early we still wouldn't have been able to stop the mc and even if we'd seen a heartbeat you still might have miscarried later' and I wanted to shout 'but that's not the point!' It's the unknown which is so hard. Good luck and keep us posted .

funtime I got a BFN with one of those test when I used it early tho - so don't give up hope yet

Am pleased I have booked scan - will be 7 + 4 by then - so am hoping might see something..

You should see something with any luck . It also gives you a milestone to aim for to break up the horrible first trimester.

hello

Really pleased your GP and nurse were nice yellow - at least you will feel like things are moving on and hopefully you will get pg in the meantime!
funtime - used a digital test (that's how convinced I must be pg, wasted good money on that!) so am pretty sure its right even though I still haven't got AF which nearly makes it my longest cycle in the 15 months or so I have been taking notice of it! Something must have delayed ov or didn't ov at all. Just want AF to arrive now so I can have a good glug of red to make me feel better. Definitely going to have a month (maybe more) off I think - we might even abandon 'actively trying' for a while as its just getting us down.

Hope everyone else is good today,

Waves at iggy, queenie and cindy - great to have reports on how you are doing? Is it all very exciting or ust nervewracking?

funtime - I know they are cheapies but they are WAY TOO EARLY! Tut tut.

Good luck ray and hopeforbundle*.

Hello pinkie, it's been ages....

I have used preseed 3 times now. Quite like it in fact - maybe will use even at non fertile times. does lessen sensation though I think, but does make it all so much easier especially mid week can't be bothered no time or enthusiasm for foreplay etc. Here's hoping it works.

Oh, other thing I forgot to say nurse said is that doing a smear has no effect at all on on ttc so not to put it off or anything.

flinkski not sure if this realted to anything - but I always write my cycle down (always have done!) so when I started ttc i had lots of data about cycles already - but i noticed that my cycle got longer and longer as I actively started to ttc... I'm not sure if it was the tension in those last few days? Or ov'ing later? Anyway - just something i noticed!

funtime I know - will be glad of actually going and doing something - the waiting is driving me mad (althogh am obviously grateful for the chance to have the wait - IYSWIM )

Have got my bloods back from the mc clinic and all is fine . Now on to the chromosone testing and the nurse also suggested some fertility tests like 21 day progesterone while we were at it. And my poor, delicate, fragile lamb will have to put some sperm in a pot - how will he cope, the indignity !

Hi everyone,

Sorry, not been on here for a few days as have had nice long weekend away in Norfolk - partly at dh's parents and partly in a swanky hotel in Burnham Market most definitely not with dh's parents.

Well my egg finally showed up on day 18 (although no apologies funtime - tisk. Well, the OPK was positive anyway so not quite sure when I ov'd. I htink I have arsed up my 1st month attempt at temping as well. My temps are still pretty much what they were before I ov'd but I keep waking in the night boiling hot after having crazy dreams which I always do after ov so I am obviously hotter. Why isn't my temping working? I take it before I get up or have a sip of water but admittedly not as soon as I wake sometimes - I might lay there for a bit first. Is that important?

Anyway, dh and I have really gone for it this month - managed CD 8,12,14,16,18,19,20 and I'm going to try grab him tomorrow night just in case.

My sense of smell has gone into overdrive but I am assuming that can be attributed to generally high post mc hormone levels. I could smell the cats food this morning at the bottom of the stairs - the kitchen is at the other end of the house. Its mad and actually not pleasant.

Really tired too today although ds has been a pain today which may account for a lot of that. Whiny and shouty in equal measure - finally nodded off for a nap at 3.30pm - nearly 2 hours later than usual. Am also having mild periody cramps but its too early for implantation so god knows what that is.

Yellow - glad your GP appointment went well. They sound really understanding - much better than a lot of GP's I suspect.

Funtime - you know its too early but I can see why you are doing it this way. Where do you get tests more sensetive than 10miu?

Jools - at least you and your dp seems like you're communicating again. Perhaps not enough but its a start. Have you looked into the idea of counselling?

Flintski - sorry it isn't your month my lovely

Right, gotta go - the boy will be waking soon. Hope you are all enjoying the sunshine.

Gosh funtime that 6 weeks went fast. Glad all is well so far - as for how you handle your dh's dignity thats up to you!

wasabi we went to burnham market alot on our holiday up there - is lovely

Impressive BD action - hopefully will be your month

Hi wasabi, I'm not sure that you can buy tests any more sensitive than that. Sorry to hear that your cycle is all over the place at the moment.

The other thing that the nurse tactfully suggested was to stop temping and doing the OPKs and to just bd every 3 days starting the day after AF finishes. Dh's reaction was 'thank god for that, can we?' !

Good to see you back Wasabi - sounds like you had a good time

I don't think DP would accept counselling - he's bad enough at talking about his emotions without opening up to a stranger ... Things are still improving though. I think he has realised that his sinking into a depression has badly affected me, and is making more of an effort now.

I'm having strange cycle stuff going on (and there is no way on this earth I'm PG with the lack of BD action !)

I was due to ov a week after starting my diet, but didn't feel ov pains, so was pretty sure I didn't - then wondered if I did and just didn't feel it, as AF came totally on schedule. It was gone within less than 48 hours though - not as clotty and dark as normal and lots of EWCM aswell. My boobs seemed to grow a bit and I got bloated AFTER AF started, which is unusual. I'm now wondering if this was an anovulatory bleed, but I ovulated whilst bleeding. I did have some cramps that woke me up Sunday night / Monday morning and it is normally ovulation pain that does that, not AF ? Very odd. It makes no real difference to me at the mo - I just don't like not knowing what is happening !

very quiet today - how is everyone? Maybe just enjoying sunshine. We're in middle of BD fest. Have told DH that every other day minimum until next Mon. Wish I had him making me enthusiastic rather than other way round, though this morning he did wake up and start stroking my tummy to encourage a baby to grow!

Hi everyone,

It has indeed been very quiet today. We def need a recruitment drive - all these nice BFP's! I have been cleaning this morning and just had a card making session (thank yous, mothers day and a friends engagement card) and am now attempting to do some proper work.

Not very well clearly as the lure of Mumsnet has already beaten me.

No news from me really - just at the beginning of the dreaded 2WW.

Yellow - enjpy your week

Jools - sorry to hear your cycles are a bit odd. Mine also still seems to be a little tardy given by my experiences this month. Perhaps your diet has affected your cycle more than you realised?
