June 5th

wasabipeanut · 18/09/2009 13:51

Oh Iggy congrats on your nearly 1st anniversary! I hope you have a lovely time celebrating. It's such a lovely anniversary - so special (says the veteran here coming up to her 3rd!). Keep the faith re ttc. You know that you can concieve. I get a bit annoyed with all this "you're more fertile after a mc" propaganda because it makes people believe that they should be able to concieve again immediately and that if they don't there is somehow something wrong. It took me 4 cycles but I truly believed that it would happen when my body was ready. Hypnotherapy helped me to calm down a bit. I was disappointed on the months it didn't work out of course but I think it helped me to stop feeling too negative which is my natural tendency.

Kitty Have a fab time planning the wedding - glad to hear its all progressing well.

Still waiting to exchange contracts, hopefully today.......

iggypiggy · 18/09/2009 14:09

kitty June is a lovely wedding month I would have picked June, but I didn't want to wait another year - so chose October instead.

wasabi At least I can have champagne on my anniversary! I think you are right about the conceiving after MC thing - I was so stressed when it hadn't happened in the first 3 months - but am feeling a bit better now - even though is now 5 months.. Hope your house sale all goes through ok!

cindy I think relaxing is something everyone should do more of! Glad you staying chilled

daisydotandgertie · 21/09/2009 08:22

How's everyone? Jools? Are you doing OK?

I'm back from a lovely holiday where I had the most whopping period! 86 days between them. It only lasted 4 days, but my, it was taxing. Despite getting up every hour and a half to change gear, I still flooded all over a hotel bed . I've never been so embarassed in my life.

So. We are straight back to trying again and have gone for the sex every 2 days method. It can't hurt, can it?!

I have a trans vaginal ultrasound to look forward to on Saturday and an appointment with a gynacologist in a months time to try and work out what happened during my last cycle.

I have a secret hope that we'll see a brewing baby on Saturday - it'll be CD 26. Have I lost the plot?

C1NDY · 21/09/2009 09:36

Daisy my fingers and toes are crossed for you. I like people with a plan... but won't it get tiresome with all the bding?? Look after yourself and I hope the gyno works out what happened with your 86 day cycle!

daisydotandgertie · 21/09/2009 16:06

Yes, v tiresome (don't let DH hear that though!).

But, I keep reading that failure to conceive is sometimes due to not enough shagging. And I have a dear GP friend who claims a foolproof method is to shag every 2 days until you get a BFP. I know we haven't done as much of it as we could of (must be our age!) so thought a change of tempo might make a difference.

And I have a dear GP friend who claims a foolproof method is to shag every 2 days and that a BFP will arrive within 3 months.

It's worth a try. I think?

yellowflowers · 21/09/2009 21:41

oh I agree daisy - v tiresome. I love the weeks when I can do no shagging, eg period weeks.

Anyhow here is my problem... any thoughts helpful as dh is away so can't even talk about it with him.

Last week I had period as I posted on here - heavy (which is normal for me) with cramping that woke me up at night (not unusual). I had thought I might be pregnant as I also put on here (higher than usual temps, milky cm) but as I think that every month so don't read into it...

Then on day 2 of period temp dropped - a bit later than usual. Temp has been low ever since. But yesterday I noticed veiny boobs. Today I had afternoon nap and felt sick when I woke from it. Did cheap test and very faint line.

But with low temp and having had heavy period this can't be bfp can it? If anything then just the end of a cp?

Am very confused. I thought I was cd 7 today.

Obv I know the answer is do test in morning and wait and see. In the meantime any thoughts?

daisydotandgertie · 21/09/2009 22:30

It's sounding odd to me.

Have you got another test? I'd have to do another, just in case it makes it clearer.

I have read quite a few times that heavy bleeding doesn't always mean no bfp, so I suppose it's possible.

And they say there's no such thing as a false positive.

Can you post a photo? Another pair of eyes might help?

yellowflowers · 23/09/2009 09:48

Hi all,

Still don't know what's happening. Completely messed up test yesterday - was in huge rush, peed on stick and got ready while waiting the time required and then completely forgot where I put it and had no time to look for it. Still can't find it - hope it doesn't up at inappropriate time when we have visitors! But peed on another stick (internet cheapie) this am and there is a line. It's darker, though still light, with a definite purple shade so not an evaporation line.

Temp is high today but also I am ill -terrible sore throat - so that could be anything.

So I am still none the wiser except I know my bleeding was heavy and very period like.

What should I do?

daisydotandgertie · 23/09/2009 13:06

Hey yellow - you and me both!

I've peed on a stick this morning and got a faint line. I've put a b&w photo on my profile (and started a thread in chat). Care to have a look and give me an opinion?

I am so excited, but frightened of being excited if you know what I mean.

It'd be bloody typical to happen just as we've been referred to a fertility consultant and have an ultrasound booked for Saturday to investigate my last very long cycle.

If it is a line. And if it sticks about, do you think they'll see anything on Saturday?

yellowflowers · 23/09/2009 13:38

hi daisy - hard to say - my line is in different place to your line so I don't know which if either is bfp. I've added pic of mine too.

daisydotandgertie · 23/09/2009 14:01

I'm not sure about anything today.

I've tried looking at your test but the pic is too far away in the shot - I've even lifted it and put it into photoshop, but can't get closer to it!

I've bought a digital test and will wee on it on Friday, and I'll do another cheapie tomorrow morning. Just in case it's real.

yellow I think you should buy an easier to read test (maybe a digital one) and should book an appointment with the doctor.

If your line is a BFP and you've had such heavy bleeding, you need to see a doctor anyway. Just to make sure everything's OK.

If it's not a BFP, you should see a doctor because to talk about the faint coloured line that's appeared.

yellowflowers · 24/09/2009 13:49

well today cheap test had faint line and first response had no line - I'm ignoring it as after period like that no way am I pregnant.

C1NDY · 25/09/2009 08:47

Yellow Hi there, sorry have not been on here for a while. Go and see your doctor, you may need to get an early scan in as it could be an ecpotic - sorry spelling is not great this morning, but you know what I mean! A lot of women still have AF whilst pg so don't rule anything out. Did the AF last for longer than 3 days? if not then it may not be AF. I would check it out just to be safe... may be check with your consultant. They may need this information to access you in trying to get you pg. A line is a line.. .. no matter where it comes from, so get it checked out.

Fingers crossed for all of you that you will get your BFP soon, as Cindy and I are proof

daisydotandgertie · 10/10/2009 16:26

Congratulations C!NDY - it sounds as though everything is going really well. Keep on taking care of yourself though.

I've had a bit of an up and down time since I last posted. I had 2 very definite BFPs at the end of my last cycle - the second one was on the day that AF started, on day 28 as normal. Not a sign of another odd long cycle, thank goodness.

But, luckily, because of the odd cycle, my GP had referred me for both an ultrasound and to a gynae.

At the ultrasound scan 2 days before AF started, the sonographer discovered a really big mass in my uterus. She said it was so big she couldn't see past it. She tried both internal and external ultrasound with no luck. She said she though it was a big fibroid.

A few days after that, I went the the gynae who confirmed I have a very large mass which is the reason for the chemical pgs I've had this year - it's preventing anything implanting successfully and that according to my bloods, I have PCO too. She said I have a carbohydrate problem which creates excess insulin and that I need to have a 21 day blood test to check for ovulation.

She's also booked me in for a hysteroscopy on Tuesday evening so she can check out the mass and try and see past it to check out my ovaries. She's insisted on doing it under general because she said 'it'll be very painful, as the mass is so big'.

Does anyone have any advice?! I have a bit of the nerves.

C1NDY · 12/10/2009 09:31

me too re jools

Sorry - all sounds a bit horrid daisy - thinking of you.

My af came early this month! At day 27 (and not been before day 30 since coming off pill about 3 and half years ago). A bit grumpy about whole thing really.

Shall I start new thread so we don;t lose touch after the 999 messages? What shall I call it? I know we don't post much any more (and must admit I feel better for it) but am keen to follow all your progress.

C1NDY · 13/10/2009 13:07
