Congratulations lovesaruby that is great news

Loujalou · 10/12/2009 09:19

PS Polly where did you have your accupuncture? Was it with a fertility specialist? I might give it a go.

Congrats to all the BFPs. Fingers crossed we get more soon.

Stomach really achy and I burst into tears listening to radio one this am

PollyPoo · 10/12/2009 09:49

Thanks Louja. I really must get that book... I've been putting it off thinking 'this month I will be/am pregnant so there is no point'. [shame]

I wouldn't worry Louja - I am not actually sure the FC is right. That is why I want to start doing my temps - just to get that bit more info. TBH the hospital were going by blood tests I had done at the doctor in June and Sept (and my fuckwit of a GP didn't twig that the June results meant I was NOT ovulating... grrr). The hospital are going to repeat the tests on my next cycle and give me an HSG before we start the Clomid. If you at all worried, ask your GP to do the Day 3 and Day 21 (or 7 days before period due) blood tests. And when they give you the results, ask them for the numbers so you can check out yourself what they mean - my mistake was trusting my doctor when she said all was fine.

As for acupuncture, I went to an alternative health clinic in Ilminster, our nearest town. She is a lovely lady and has got me ovulating again (the Sept blood results were back in the realms of normal after 2 months of acupuncture). That said though, she is not a fertility specialist so although I'd feel really mean leaving her, I think I will go to Yeovil or Dorchester in the new year where there are practitioners who specialise in fertility. In fact the one in Dorchester is affiliated with a private fertility clinic, and that is all he does. It is more expensive though but if I win a baby then its's worth it!

Sorry for hijacking the thread... BIG CONGRATS to the all the grads, we seem to be on a roll now! Who is next to POAS?

Loujalou · 10/12/2009 09:55

Zita West has some affiliated acupuncture people. Might try one of them as a couple near me - also got some vouchers for alternative therapy place so might be worth a try.

My friend went to see the Zita West after years of trying - only for Zita to point out that maybe she was already pregnant. She took a test and she was. Hehe.

Thanks Polly - have been playing with FF as my waking times are not consistent and it definitely looks like I have a temp shift. Think we were having problems as for the 1st 5 months we were using what we now realise was far too much lube. I got TCOYF from the library think you can get quite a lot of info in a short time frame.

PollyPoo · 10/12/2009 10:10

Louja I must admit my waking times differ a lot but I haven't bothered setting an alarm - I just take my temp as soon as I wake. Its really interesting that the first two weeks it was pretty level, then a big dip on Day 16, then from 17 onwards it is much higher. (and how sad am I that I find charting my temperature daily 'interesting'!!) Unfortunately DD scrawled all over my chart while I was in the shower this morning but thankfully I can still make out my dots!

Loujalou · 10/12/2009 10:13

Polly that's why I do it on line - so DS doesn't spill water on it. I have found when adjusting it looks much clearer so it must affect it some how me thinks. Oh well its back up you can use for fertility specialist. Good luck with it all. I too am obsessed but am an accountant - so am sad like that.

PollyPoo · 10/12/2009 10:27

Hehe, I am an ex-accoutant, but still have the obsessive detail tendancy!

Loujalou · 10/12/2009 10:43

Once an accountant always an accountant. Apart from when it comes to my own money. Maybe we could set up - a we're obsessive with detail help group on here.

liahgenispreggerswithnumber6 · 10/12/2009 11:57

Hi all,

Haven't been on for a while. How is everyone?

Loujalou · 10/12/2009 12:22

Congratulations - when did you find out Lia??? Like the subtle name change.

liahgenispreggerswithnumber6 · 10/12/2009 12:44

Hiya,

Ooh, about 4 hours ago now

didn't even have to squint to see the line.

Was gonna add to stats but can never get it right.

Was shaking when I realised, wasn't expecting anything cos tested yesterday and very obviously neg then.

Have to get due date now, am thinking end Aug.

Congratulations to all graduates and fingers firmly crossed for everyone else.

vix206 · 10/12/2009 12:51

Anyone else feeling really hungry but no appetite/can't face eating? I feel a bit queasy but I know I am starving because my tummy is rumbling. I made myself a sandwich just with cream cheese lightly spread in it but it tastes all wrong like its moldy. DH says it tastes fine to him.

I can stomach cream crackers so I've munched a load of them!

Loujalou · 10/12/2009 13:00

Will miss you Lia - well am only 4/5 days past ov and am feeling nauseous but that's normal.... So we will see. Don't have much faith it worked.

growingbump2 · 10/12/2009 13:08

Congratulations Ruby that is great news, do you have any other children? I've got a boy who has just turned two. Not tested today, but I'm despeate to!

liahgenispreggerswithnumber6 · 10/12/2009 13:09

well I'm not going yet, if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone lou

just checked, 21st August. Gosh, not sunk in yet.

vix funny tasting food....

lovesaruby · 10/12/2009 14:58

Thanks growing! Well done for holding out! Yep, we have two girls, 5 and almost 3 and also dh has a son 14 so we'll have our hands full, but wouldnt have it any other way! Ill be looking out for news of your no.2, fingers x'd! Lia same due date as me! Congrats to you.

PollyPoo · 10/12/2009 15:22

Lia that is BRILLIANT news!! I am seriously chuffed for you me dear!

stuffedmk · 10/12/2009 15:42

WOW! Congrats to all the graduates!!
POAS today BFN as expected.
Still fairly early though.
Feeling pretty much the same as last month during the week leading up to AF so I doubt I am pg. Still keeping fingers crossed though.
Have worked out that if AF turns up when expected, but I happened to get pg next cycle (if DH stops arsing about!!!) I could end up due on my birthday next year.
Yes I have too much time on my hands lol
Just have to get DH back on board now

lucybrad · 10/12/2009 16:08

stuffedmk same as you. I am testing early because I have loads of internet cheapies. Do you kbow when you ov'd? I think mine was about day 13 thus making me 11dpo.

lucybrad · 10/12/2009 16:10

bloody hell lia your only cd23. What did you test with? I want one of those!

stuffedmk · 10/12/2009 16:30

Ummm, I think I ov'd last tuesday (going by cm and tiny bleed) Haven't gone down the temping route yet. Was going to this month but then got bad bug at start and kept getting high temp with that so figured it would be too confusing for a first month charting lol.

stuffedmk · 10/12/2009 16:35

Last tuesday being cd15 I think.

So I knew it was stupid to test yet but I couldn't help it lol!!

nymphadora · 10/12/2009 16:55

yay Lia had been thinking of you yesterday.
