Funtime CONGRATULATIONS that is great news how wonderful.

Well not a good day for me had a call from the haematology department at hos to say have been referred and need to see me on 1st april but wouldnt tell me why. Gyni did loads of bloods so alittle worried about what could be wrong and now thinking cant be PG as if they have found something must be whats causing infertility.
Trying not to worry to much though no point until i know what it is i suppose.

Jools You go for it i hope i does the trick this month.
Re progesterone levels i know it can effect you getting Pg as it effects the lining of the womb however it is not proven to help prevent miscarriages although personally i think it does but doc ws very quick to point out that it isnt proven and not licenced for that use although is aware some units use it for this purpose to rule it out.
Its worth getting your bloods tested if you are worried i must say that after taking the progesterone for 3 days PMT symptoms have all but disappeared, no night sweats, no back ache, not dizzy anymore etc etc so im sure this is one of my problems.

anyway off to bed as went ice skating today and am now shattered. have a nice evening ladies.

WooHoo Funtime fantastic news just in time for Mothers Day what a great omen for you, I think it must be an extra special sticky bean

iggypiggy · 23/03/2009 09:13

funtime Yay!!!!! Am so pleased for you!

Broodzilla · 23/03/2009 09:24

OMG FUNTIME!!!
It seems that every time I have a few days off the thread I come back to another BFP!
That's fantastic news!

Interesting stuff re:progesterone. I usually get night sweats but haven't since the BFP. Don't know what that means, if anything.

I've got an appointment with the GP today, partly to discuss other things, but will also ask for a toxoplasmosis screen as I have three cats at home. Don't know if she'll give me one.

Baby Broodzilla has a checking in appointment with a Midwife on Wednesday so am very excited about that!

In other news, I've been made redundant from my P/T job. It's not a complete disaster (I have a F/T job as well, just needed the P/T one for extra cash) but will definitely be feeling the pinch. It came completely out of the blue, I just went in to work on Thursday and was told that my role would become redundant. Strange thing is, under normal circumstances I would have been a sobbing mess, but I was completely calm about it. I don't recognise myself! It's like in not allowing myself to get emotional about the BFP, I've completely switched off all emotions.

Oh well, I'll be saving a fortune in Kleenex!

Anyway, hope your Mondays are off to a good start.

Pinkyblue123 · 23/03/2009 09:34

Congratulations funtime!!! You must be so excited! Have you any tips, did you do anything different this month?

You are in good hands Ray try not to worry too much (easier said than done I know)It could be the start of them being able to treat a potential probelm and get you closer to a BFP

I am now CD25 so 3 days to go and I am going mad!! I can not help but symptom spot I have been feeling really sleepy and
am hoping that is a good sign (but might be just that I have been doing too much running around, or maybe I am just getting old!)
I hate this last bit as i cannot think of anything else!!) I always think it is difficult to spot symptoms of PG over run of the mill PMT. You would think that after being PG three times in the past I would know by now.

yellowflowers · 23/03/2009 10:03

funtime woweeeeee! Fantastiic news. How many dop was that? Am so chuffed for you.

I ovulated on fri/sat so was right this was going to be one of my long cycles. Had loads of sex though not on fri but did on wed and thurs and sat and sun and used presseed since day 10 so now just have to have fingers crossed and lots of patience for the two week wait.

funtimewincies · 23/03/2009 13:03

Thanks ladies !

I'm not really sure what was different this month. Let me think...

  1. I ov'd earlier than usual, so a 28 day cycle (+ve showed up on sensitive test 11dpo of 12 day luteal phase and on Boots own today).
  2. I made dh do the deed as soon as ds had gone to bed and before tea, so that he wasn't too full or too tired .
  3. Luck in that I was fairly sure that I'd ov'd on my good tube side.
  4. Fate was tempted as my due date will be inconveniently close to ds' birthday and Christmas!
  5. I decided to stop 'being good' this month. I ate what I liked, drank as much as I liked and did as much activity (digging and so on) without thinking about the consequences. Interestingly, I hardly had any GF juice and very little ewcm this month.

Actually, I think that the mc nurse talking about doing fertility tests as well scared dh's swimmers into action !

Pinkyblue123 · 23/03/2009 13:55

Funtime, I will definately try to adopt your idea in point 2 my DH frustratingly sometimes seems not as up for it when it is the best time as he will be too tired or have had a night out or eaten too much!!

Also, I am with you on point 5 and think that as it can take a while to TTC the pressure seems all the more so when you deny yourself a glass of wine or two. I have tried going tee-total and have found it makes not a bit of difference and am now thinking i just need to relax a bit more and hopefully it will happen.

I have been going particularly mad today waiting to find out if this had been a good month for me. I hate this part. I seem to have quite a bit of CM (TMI alert!)and am hoping that this is a good sign. Trouble with me is that I so much want it to happen I will hang onto any little sign and think it could be positive and then am really disappointed by BFN arrgghh!!!

yellowflowers · 23/03/2009 14:00

Ooops - sorry Ray81 - what are your vital dates?

I've not had grapefruit juice this month either but have used preseed - here's hoping...

Funtime - YYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY [grin[

I'm so happy you got there hon. Maybe that karma you are due is finally doing its thing!

I hope everyone else has had a good start to the week.

Mine hasn't been great - been getting very periody type cramping and pain in lower back Also been tearful and have had usual pre period breakout. So much for being more fertile after a mc

flintski · 23/03/2009 17:35

Hi all,

mega congrats funtime - well done - i'm so pleased for you

Have amended list as Af arrived on CD 32 - latest ever - our bodies are so cruel.

we are pretty much taking a break from 'actively trying' and putting some other plans for our lives into action instead.

Hope everyone else ok,

Hey guys......... i got a BFP this morn a very strong one.

I am praying for a sticky bean.

iggypiggy · 24/03/2009 09:06

Yay! Congrats ray81

We are doing well with BFPs at the mo - i think it's the inspiring thread title that yellow made up

flintski sorry is BFN for you - I know what you mean - I was convinced that I was PG end of Dec because my period was latest ever - is such a let down

wasabi still have fingers crossed for you - I was convinced AF was coming when I got my BFP xx

funtimewincies · 24/03/2009 09:11

Congratulations ray!!!!!!! .

Sorry that the witch got you this month flintski and good luck wasabi.

Pinkyblue123 · 24/03/2009 09:23

Congratulations Ray fingers crossed it all goes well.

Sorry about AF Flitski Wasabi Looks like we are expecting AF (or BFP -I live in hope!) around same time fingers crossed. I too have been feeling a bit tearful which makes me think perhaps AF is on her way.

This certainly seems to be a lucky thread though so hopefully we will all pick up on the good luck

iggypiggy · 24/03/2009 09:45

pinkyblue I was tearful before the BFP - and it usually means AF for me too. Trouble is the symptoms can be so similar - have fingers crossed for you xx

Pinkyblue123 · 24/03/2009 09:49

Thank you Iggypiggy you are so right the symptoms are so similar, which is why we all drive ourselves mad wondering!!

funtimewincies · 24/03/2009 09:51

I got all weepy hearing a song on the radio on Mother's Day . Good luck!

Pinkyblue123 · 24/03/2009 09:57

I really hope it is good news this month as it will be exactly a year since my MC this weekend. I expected that that I would have had a BFP by now. Oh well these things are sent to try us!!

kittycatcat · 24/03/2009 10:05
