Hi All

AF started last night oh well never mind, don't seem to be as upset this month, maybe its because i know we will be startting iui at the end of April.

Hope everyone is ok? Where has the nice spring weather gone.

xxxxx

stac14 · 24/03/2010 19:51

sorry af got you lady as you say you know you have iui soon but af's always bitch {{hugs}} for you. Hope its not a bad one.

Hows everyone else today? X

Ladybird10 · 25/03/2010 16:20

Stac* af isn't to bad, not in as much pain as usual. It is always a bitch but i'm hoping one day it will give me a break for 9 months. Just been to have some blood tests which need to be done before iui.
I bet your getting big now? Now that you are pg, have you forgotten how hard it was to get there as some people say once you manage to get pg you forget about the troubles of ttc.

xx

stac14 · 25/03/2010 19:05

god no lady i still remember all the tears and upset through the ttc, I dont think I will ever forget it. It has definately made me more grateful for my lo. I am getting big, apparantly as its my second you sprout quicker so I definately look bigger lol. I like the rest of you hated ttc, i blamed it all on my body as i was the one with the problem and i actually started to believe i would never have another baby. Glad afs not too bad hun xx

Aww hugs Lady. I'm still waiting for body to decide what it's doing...it has no clue.

Feeling crap. Not sure if it's end of term stuff or that it's the anniversary of my friend losing her first-born!

can't quite put my finger on what I'm feeling. Stress prob. I have a sore throat, muscles ache, tired, hungry & sickness. It's not pg symptoms I know that much!!! CD 30-something....

Stac i don't think i will ever forget about the struggles of ttc when and if i get pg, but i have heard that some people forget how hard it was once they conceive. It will definately make me appreciate it more. I now wish i would have come off the pill sooner but like my mum keeps telling me that the reason i didn't come off my pill is because i wasn;t ready for babies.

Fairy i can see why you don't want to get your hopes up but we all do it as we want a baby so much. Hopefully its implantation bleeding and this is your month A few days before af arrived i had EWCM and creamy cm, unually i just have creamy cm.
When will you test? Have my fingers crossed for you.

Hope everyone else is ok?

Good Luck Fairy hope it's not af

stac14 · 26/03/2010 18:02

When i concieved i had no inclination to test what so ever as i was totally convinced i wasnt pg, in fact i didnt even consider being pregnant. lady with ds i fell pg 3 months after stoping the pill. I had just turned 19, i fell out with ds dad and eventually met current dp, we wanted to be secure before having kids and started trying after 3 years of being together. I suppose i expected it to be as easy as it was the first time, i was totally crushed when we found out i have pcos. Thankfully it's worked, but i wouldnt have gotten through it if it hadnt been for the support i got here, which is what i want to give back. I have been where you are and know how hard it is. I do believe the harder it is makes you even more thankful. X

Clure · 26/03/2010 18:11

evening ladies,

fairy - that sounds really promising, though know what you mean about getting hopes up. roll on the hols eh? Reckon we're all on our knees and could do with a rest.

welcome lj30
hi stac, lady and the gang
sorry not much to report my end, still waiting for af, don;t want to take provera as seems no reason to as not taking clomid at the mo until I know more about whats happening with further tests. Still not heard, meant to phone GP today but I am just so getting caught up in day to day stuff and school is still taking up so much head room. Off to see a friend who is in a band playing a local gig tonight, think I'm looking forward to it but also feeling like I just want to crash out!
looking forward to the weekend xxxxxxxxxxx

Debicemmy2 · 26/03/2010 18:53

Fairy* we all have our fingers crossed hun.
Hope all you lovely ladies are well and looking after youselves.
My son should now be in Afghan.......did anyone watch the Air ambulance last night? They fly to Afghan......well I made the mistake in watching it and had really bad dreams.
Do you know the army have sent nothing through to me to tell me anything about whats what, I know he is a young man but you would think they would send something through to me eh. All I have is an address to send him gifts and letters and a number if I need him home. Moan over lol
Cd 23 and really really sor boobies AGAIN.....they are so so bad
Hope you ALL have a lovely weekend and we get some good weather.

Deb You must be feeling helpless. There are many people who appreciate what he does tho. Thanks for keeping your fingers crossed. Not said anything to DH yet as I don't want to get his hopes up.

Hi all,

Boobs are normal so doubt it is pg! It's my body throwing a new red herring at me! The bad dreams have calmed but back to not getting much sleep. Also end of term run down cold on the horizon!

It was my godson's angel day today! His mum really held up well. So glad that time is a healer.

Clure glad to see you back! Between 1 and 3 this morning I was thinking about a new curriculum!!!! Ur TA really had her hands full today. She was gonna come help support my groups but didn't get time!

Anyone heard from Pops?

{{hugs}} fairy & debs debs it must be hard watching anything to do with afghan, when my cuz comes back he tends not to want to talk about any of it and we don't ask (probs burying our heads in the sand) but he's also aware if he wants to talk we're there. You must be so proud though, as hard as it feels if it wasnt for people like your son, were would we be.

fairy what a sad day hun, glad your friend is managing better, must have helped to have good friends with her. Like everyone else i have my fingers crossed for you.

Hey clure you poor thing being so snowed under. I can understand why you dont want to take provera, i was so moody with it (whats new lol) but its also good to have af after a long period to clear things out. My period after 9months was so heavy and painful but defo needed.

Hey to everyone else, how are you all? popsy thinking of you hun.

Well i have reached 24wks, insomnia is kicking in, but have a couple of hours to myself as dp is working and ds has footy. Hope everyone is well x

Venetia2 · 28/03/2010 11:02

Its been so quiet on here recently. Maybe the pre easter/end of term stress is catching up with us all?

Just popping on to see if anyone is about and say "hi" really... hope you don't mind me hanging about, feel really supported by this thread and hope I can support others for a bit longer too?

stac14 · 28/03/2010 12:10

hey ven how are you? How you keeping? Try to relax only 4 days to go yay!

Hows everyone else today? X

Venetia2 · 28/03/2010 14:51

Hi Stac I am good thanks, suffering with MS but so happy to be having it.

Have a scan tomorrow, so a bit nervous, otherwise can't wait until easter-4 days to sleep!!

How are you?

stac14 · 28/03/2010 18:06

Good thanks, bit tired but i'm nearly in the home stretch. Have 2nd gender scan on saturday. Just enjoy your scan hun x

reallygrumpy · 28/03/2010 21:08

Hey all,

Am struggling today. 2 cycles of clomid but def not pregnant and no sign of AF (over a week late) so don't know what my body's doing. Plus I think I've got tonsilitus and feel rubbish.

As part of my efforts to get pregnant I have given up alcohol, caffeine, sugar and wheat and have started running. Am bored with depriving myself so much (but at least I've lost 2 pounds). I'm also contemplating trying acupuncture which apparently can help. Has anyone else tried it?

ven, stac - hearing your positive stories gives me hope that clomid will work for me - thanks!

Debicemmy2 · 28/03/2010 22:32

Hi everyone.....hope your all well and in good health.
Im having a really pooooooooooooooo day today,,,,,,sadly my best friend passed away this morning.....im so going to miss her and hope she is at peace now.....she was so dame frightened too. sorry to dump this on you but I really needed to let it out. We really are all lucky eh,Although it may not seem it at times. life far to short to waste eh.
You ALL take good care.

Clure · 28/03/2010 22:56

you too Deb big hug for you
DH nan passed away today

reallygrumpy, I tried reflexology, it helped getting a natuaral af, felt really rough after it, loads toxins coming out! not sure about acupuncture, think some ladies here have tried it and can offer you some advice

Have emailed fertility unit, as don't seem to get time to even stand still and think during the week and fed up of waiting and now thinking GP surgery so crap they probably haven't even sent the referal off! sorry rant over

hi stac, ven, fairy, lady, lj and anyone else I missed, hope you all had good weekend, had a lovely afternoon with DD and her friend at the park - so much belly laughing, love it! Roll on the hols
xxxxxxxxxxxx

reallygrumpy · 29/03/2010 09:44

Deb - so sorry for your loss, I hope your friend is at peace now and you can remember all the lovely times you shared. When I've lost people I've always found the happy memories very comforting.

Clure - thanks for letting me know about reflexology. Good luck with your referral, it's so frustrating when you have to chase etc and I hate trying to make calls in the corridor at work hoping no one will overhear.

I ended up in A&E at 3am this morning after having a big asthma attack cos I've got a viral infection. I think it's my body's way of telling me to slow down!

Fairygodmother1 · 29/03/2010 18:05

Deb sorry to hear your loss.

reallygrumpy know exactly how you feeling!

Don't think it's me again this month! So sick of this! Having gungy browish EW discharge. sorry for TMI. I'm really sure I did ovulate so why aint the two parties meeting & sticking???????

How is everyone else?

Ladybird10 · 29/03/2010 19:13

Deb hope your ok, your friend is now in peace, it's so hard when someone close dies and your right we really are lucky and it does make you think about life and ttc etc. I sometimes feel bad for getting down about ttc as there are people so much worst off than me.

Fairy don't give up just yet, if it's only brownish discharge then your still in with a chance, i think you should test at the weekend if af hasn't arrived by then.

Clure sounds like fun at the park, i love a good belly laugh.

Hi to everyone else
