Hula, I hope the buyer comes up trumps before Friday, failing that fingers x'd you get another buyer asap, I can't believe the bad luck your having, but it surely must all be for a reason, and that reason must be the 4/5 bed house! which must mean your in for a twin/triplet delivery next!!!

Hi, would like to join this thread.
As I'm new to this I'm not sure of all the conception jargon, hope you can help me out.
Planning a baby and trying for a baby (as opposed to just 'doing the deed' for fun) is new to me.
You all seem really supportive.

Hi Angedemarche,

Welcome, nice to see another newcomer, now I'm not the newest one I've ben TTCing for all of five days and let me tell you, it does weird things to your head. I spend all day trying to tell if there is anything going on down there, and interpret every little gas bubble as a possible sign of conception. Now, I know it probably doesn't happen with a bang and fireworks like in that old film, but you never know, do you?

Anyway, good luck!

Hello anged! welcome to the thread! lets hope your stay is a short one, check out fertility friend.com, if your interested in charting your fertile days, most of us stop by there once in a while! most of our jargon is located on the Anacronym list at the top of the site but just ask if your not sure!

angedemarche · 09/06/2005 00:27

thanks guys,
im going to have a look at the website you suggest and see how things go.

Hello and welcome angedemarche.

The time it takes to conceive depends on many things. In normal fertility the rule of thumb seems to be that the younger you are the easier it is. There are people here who will be able to give you lots of advice from their experiences. I am nearly 39 and want to conceive again asap. I am BF my 3 and a half month old DS3 and haven't had AF yet but as soon as I do I will be joining you here regularly.

Good luck. Looking forward to talking to you.

munz · 09/06/2005 09:31

bubble - younger = easier - hmm ok then! lol, wish someone had told me earlier!

CP - the wait will soon go i'm sure just think what you'll be doing next weekend (not PG test related!) soon goes. BB - i'm disappointed in u BB indeed!

AM - hiya and welcome. have u put ur beanie order in? hope you're not here too long in the nicest way.

friz - yes 8 st! haven't been so light since b4 I got married (even then I was more 8.5-9 ish on AF weeks!) so 1.10 to go until i'm at 9 and fairly happy, so back on rabbit food - no more macs oh well!

hula - yes he's backed off now to the point of a cuddle if I ask and go to him but otherwise nothing he's on nights at the mo so things aren't always great then anyhow as he's always ratty and tired. good luck selling ur apt. hope it goes better this time.

wend - should we put out a calling thread for her? last time I remeber seeing her post her DH was going away for a few days but that was ages ago. how r u feeling at the minute? hope all's ok.

rom - oh honney ((((((hugs))))) we'll get there just u see if we don't, have u spoke to the dr about getting a refferal? in our area the gyno's waiting list is now 9 months (luckily we only took 5 months) althou it's 4 months between apts. our gyno only sees 6 new patients a month .

cha cha - i'm doing well, all the better for seeing our hot postman! hmmmm!

LunarSea · 09/06/2005 09:43

Around here it's 3 years for a referral if you've already got a child! Ironically would just about have been there now, but for finally managing the last bean (which lasted 11 weeks before it all went pear shaped), so now we're worse than back at the beginning, as will be too old for a referral anyway once another three years have gone.

flamesparrow · 09/06/2005 10:20

LS -

That is so so wrong

I have no idea what's going on with my body. Lots of tummy aches in weird places for the last few day, mood swings etc.

But my body is settling into being off the pill, so it is probably just all symptoms of that!!

bubble99 · 09/06/2005 11:36

munz. I did mean in a 'normally' fertile couple as in tubes as clear as the M25 on it's opening day. ovaries fired up and producing enough eggs to make the world's biggest omlette a uterine lining like The Savoy (but not with a mini-bar, just Progesterone cocktails ), super sperm which passed the diving for a brick and blowing up pyjamas swimming thingy. And even then of course it can take time.

flamesparrow · 09/06/2005 11:41

I'll have an image of sperm whacking pyjamas over its head to make them inflate with me all day now!!!

angedemarche · 09/06/2005 12:10

Bubble - you really make me laugh!

munz · 09/06/2005 12:12

lol@ bubble u make me laugh!

angedemarche · 09/06/2005 12:20

I only have one ovary and one tube with slight adhesions to something, but the doctor says that it hopefully will work OK.
He also said that if we haven't conceived within 6 months of serious 'trying' we will get investigated straight away.
I'm expecting it to take a wee while, but for the time being we are (well DH anyway) more than happy with the 'trying' part!

munz · 09/06/2005 12:28

AM - join the club girl! what happened with ur overy if u don't mind me asking? which one did they take out?

I managed to get PG twice (both M/C's thou) but DH is enjoying trying. so there's hope that our one does work! althou the gyno I spoke to recons we have half the chance of 'normal' women - but 4 other Dr's incl 2 specialists have told me that our one over compensates for the missing one so an egg is always released by defult each month instead of competeing with the other side (least thhats how it was explained ot me)

we're currently going thru investigations. (did get put on the list after 6 months of TTC thou)

angedemarche · 09/06/2005 12:38

Munz, about 3.5 years ago I had two large dermoid cysts removed, one from each ovary (I know that is so gross). At the time they removed the left ovary and tube, and just removed the cyst from the right one.
However, they said that if I had only had one cyst on the right ovary they would have removed it as there was a lot of damage done, but they had to leave me with something because I was only 23 at the time.
I have been told that the ovary that is left does the work of two ovaries, and I do know that it works. It's just a matter of how long.
XxX

munz · 09/06/2005 12:48

well hon good luck to you, bit of a bumber isn't it having one, althou the surgen told me when I was 11 and had mine out ( mine had never grown apparently and was all contorted and twisetd up) that god gives us two of everything we require that's important which is why we have two lungs, two kidneys etc... and this is why women had two overies, I remeber asking why he didn't give me two hearts as well! lol. anyhow hopefully it won't take long

do u already have children?

angedemarche · 09/06/2005 12:54

sent you a CAT munz, hope you get it. XxX

munz · 09/06/2005 12:58

ok normally takes a while for them to come thru.

Hulababy · 09/06/2005 13:56

LOL Frizbe ? maybe you are right (although I will stick with just the one if possible)!No word from buyer so going ahead with valuation tomorrow, and putting apartment back on market too. Going to give it 2-3 months and then we will consider rental, and buying a smaller second house in better area ? and still keep trying to sell in mean time. The rental situation where we are here is very good apparently. We will see.

Hi Angedemarche ? good luck and hope you stay is a short one. I am afraid there is no telling how long it will take to conceive. For some it is the first month, for others much longer.

romilly · 09/06/2005 14:01

welcome to angedemarche - and good luck with quick results!

not feeling very chatty today - really sorry, ttc blues but hi to everyone

wendy - i remember cadmum saying her husband was taking the laptop away so she had no access but he would check e-mails for her

charleepeters · 09/06/2005 14:09

sorry to here your not feeling so good today rom

OP posts:
Hulababy · 09/06/2005 14:26

Sorry you are feeling low today Rom.

BlueberryPie · 09/06/2005 16:03

Hi all, A question for those of you are more experienced in this area. Is it normal to feel really gentle cramps when you're ov'ing? I can't remember feeling them before but then I've never paid much attention in the past. I'm pretty sure I'm ov'ing but I somehow skipped a period (definitely not pg though) so it's hard to tell. I just have these weird really gentle non-painful cramps and I don't know what they are.

Rom, I'm sorry you're feeling blue today, thinking about you and sending you virtual hugs and heaps of virtual chocs...
