Hi Ladies, not been around in nearly a year, currently serving at IVF clinic in Leeds, been there since April, (on and off), currently on Met, and just had 1st round of Clomid, but I don't get something, I ovulated on day 19 according to IVF clinic, they did ultra sounds on days 12, 14, 16, 18 & 20, they told me on my last ultrasound that I had actually ovulated on day 19 (just as well that we BD on days 14, 16, 18 & 19, just couldn't resist the moment). My question is, if you are supposed to start next cycle at 14 days after ovulation or there abouts, then that would have been yesterday for me. I have awful backache, but nothing else, apart from the odd twinge in my boobs. I did a 1st response pg test on Monday (couldn't wait), but that was BFN, Oh I really want to be, like all you ladies on this thread I guess!! I have even made some postcards on the computer with a cartton picture of a baby on the front, and on the back it says "DO YOU WANT TO HOLD ME", "WELL YOU CAN ON" and the date is left blank. This is the way we are going to tell everyone this time, by postcard, DD was conceived after 5 years of sub-fertility treatment, she will be 5 in 3 weeks time, I am a PCOS sufferer and was diagnosed 10 years ago, also suffering from endometriosis at the same time (which left me as soon as I fell PG with DD and hasn't reered its ugly head since . So my little story might bring hope to PCOS sufferers, otherwise sorry to go on so much!

munz · 03/08/2005 09:11

charlee - MM's right I did get PG without AF coming and got the pos the day b4 my af would have been due had it been a 'regular' cycle. fingers crossed for u, but tbh we didn't even really BD it was literally 3 times (infact it's still only 3 times since the start of the bleedin on the 4th june - poor DH! (glad of the rest I think!)

MM - how r u honney?

debs - take the Angus on a full tummy and expect slightly shorter cycles. good luck for this month babe.

hula - glad u had a nice holiday.

fairydust · 03/08/2005 09:44

on cd14 today and had a sharp pain for a couple of hrs yestaday in my left hand side (lower down) could ths have been an ovulation???
hope all are well

Hulababy · 03/08/2005 10:01

Er fairydust - where did I miss that you were TTC!!!! Fab news; fingers crossed for you

Sharp stabbing plans could well mean ov pains - looks like you need to be busy over next day or too

milosmum · 03/08/2005 13:21

thanks hula - have decided it's now or never as we don't want a huge age gap between them we're settled in the house - we feel fiancially secured -So here's to lots of early nights

Hulababy · 03/08/2005 15:46

Good luck then FD; hope your stay on this thread proves to be a relatively short one then

I start investigations next month

fairydust · 03/08/2005 16:25

Hula I honistly believe that once you move everything will fall into place for you - it took you a while to concieve your dd so fingars crossed this one's not that far off.

shelly24 · 03/08/2005 17:05

Hey girls,hope your all ok
Have tested yesterday in the afternoon and got another pale line,then did the same today and yet another pale line!?So who knows whats going on!!
Have now had three pale tests and each on looks stronger than the one before?Still no AF,have lower tummy cramps,but apart from that am good
How is everyone else?
Am going to leave testing now till the wkend to see if AF turns up in between time,don't feel very preg,but then again last time round didn't test till DH said 'have you had an AF yet?',and i hadn't even thought about it,so ended up testing about 3weeks after missed AF,and its only been 1 day over so far?
DH thinks i am but doesn't want to get my hopes up too much(naturally),it may just be that my body is trying to settle down after my loss,so who knows!!?...will def keep you all informed either way though.x.x.x

fairydust · 03/08/2005 18:14

fingar's crossed for you shelley - xxxx

Debbsywillgetherbeanie · 03/08/2005 18:35

Hulababy · 03/08/2005 19:05

It is looking more and more positive Shelley; fingers crossed.

I hope so too FD. Been pg twice before, both took 14/15 months, so only another 2 or 3 to go

shelly24 · 03/08/2005 21:01

Thanx girls(really appreciate the support).

fairydust · 04/08/2005 12:09

Hulababy · 04/08/2005 12:11

How are you today Shelley?

Charlee · 04/08/2005 16:41

Afternoon ladys! Shells its lookinggood hun i think your deffo pg!

I am ok the bleeding has stopped so im bding when the feeling takes me! im dffo going to take a more relaxed approach to ttc i dont think i will chart ect, if its ment to be its ment to be and im sure its better to be relaxed whilst ttc. i just can tput myself through another cycle like the last one its not good for me!

Hope everyone else is doing ok,
Hugs to all xxxx

shelly24 · 04/08/2005 17:28

Hry girlsHope your all doing ok today.x
As for me,well i don't know how i feel really,have got butterflies and feel abit sick,but thats cos of everything thats happening right now,did another test today(yeah,i know,am seriously wasting money,and should just wait abit!)It was a thicker line than yesterday,and slightly darker too,i think i am but that its just really early still.Please don't think i'm crazy,but i'm really scared and keep thinking 'i'll wait another day',and sure enough the test gets darker each time.
I don't want to go to the doctors yet because i want to wait until i'm def that my period would have been and gone,and i want a really strong result,instead of the ones i've got.
I didn't help matters really this morning when i was on a site where loads have people had written that they had loads of positives then went to doc,did a blood test and it was neg!?there was loads of women all saying similar things,and it done my head in!and made me give in and do another bloody test!!!
I'm so scared to even get my hopes up even alittle bit!!!what if its all for nothing?,i couldn't handle getting all excited and then finding out i'm not!
I've already done my DH's head in and hes gone down the pub,cos i keep asking him questions and repeating myself!! Hes 98% sure that i am,but like me doesn't want to get our hopes up just yet.
I must sound really annoying,and i'm sorry,and your prob all shouting at me'GET A BLOODY DIGITAL TEST!!',but i'm too scared to do that just yet,i just wanted to let you all know whats going on,as its really important for me to write on mn,and let all my(mixed)emotions out,...sorry.x.x.
I've just been through so much lately that i won't let myself even get alittle bit excited,i've been too used to disappointment already this year.

shelly24 · 04/08/2005 19:27

Anyone around!?

shelly24 · 04/08/2005 19:31

Ok,well talk to you all soon.x

Hulababy · 04/08/2005 19:32

It is sounding more and more positive Shelly; I think you are pregnant! And for what it is worth I prefer the old fashioned pg test, with the lines. I don't like the new digital ones at all. Not sure why though. Have everything crossed for you.

shelly24 · 04/08/2005 21:08

So do i hulababy,funny isn't it!?

Debbsywillgetherbeanie · 05/08/2005 07:47

Feeling v down again today that another month has gone by and im not pregnant feel like its never going to happen for us

Charlee · 05/08/2005 09:34

Oh Debs hunny we all feel the same, but it will happen for all of us! and it will be so worth it when it does i had a couple of weeks when i was going through my m/c when ijust thought screwit i just ant keep this up i had a gorgeous son whom i love dearly that will do. but nowi think if ts going to happen it will so im taking amore relaxed approach to ttc, life will go asit is ment to go nothing anyone can do will change it. hope your feeling better soon

milosmum · 05/08/2005 15:08

oh debs- it will happen- i promise! if it doesnt you can come and get me! and dont forget i promised to nick one for you!

Shelly- my fingers are well and truley crossed for you!!!

Charlee- you and me both- the more relaxed approach is really working for me! im actually BDing for fun!!! for a change.... im on 17dpo and should test on sunday but i know its a bfn- but it actually doesnt bother me this month-

OP posts:
Hulababy · 05/08/2005 17:54

Oh Debbsey, it will happen. Know how you feel; I think we all get like that at times.

Feeling a bit fed up right now too about the TTC. BIL & SIL want us to go to Oz with them next November. With a little baby, that's fine. But it is taking so long. I can't agree in case I am pg and beyond the flyign cut off point. But I don't want to put off TTC in 3 or 4 months time to ensure that doesn't happen either - feels like losing precious time. But then I'd love to go to Australia too. Argh. Why can't I just be normal and be able to get pg in a normal period of time like others seem to be able to do. Doesn't seem fair.
