Morning how is everyone? Lychees how did you get on at docs?

HI Everyone,

Although I am trying desperatley not to symptom sopt and get my hopes up I cannot ignore this incredbly annoying dull ache in the pit of my tummy. Sometimes its not too bad and then I'll get the odd sharp pain. Not experiened anything like this before!!
Oh well probably something and nothing.

How are you getting on Boba ?

Hello All,

I queued up today for a DRs appointment but when I got to the front the receptionist said that they were down one GP so if it wasn't urgent ...... Anyways, I decided to phone for the results but ended up speaking to a nurse who said that my GP wanted to see me or speak to me on the phone as my progesterone levels were higher than last time but still on the low side. So I'm planning on phoning the surgery tomorrow to discuss this with the DR.

In a way, I'm glad that there might be a fixable reason as to why I haven't got pg yet but I'm hoping that this is the only issue and that they start treating me soon.

Has this happened to anyone here? Is it likely that I'll end up trying Clomid? I have lots of Q's to ask the GP tomorrow but just wondered if anyone here knew.

Boba, what's going on with your tests etc? You have probably already said but this thread is getting busy so it's easy to miss posts.

Hope you're all okay.

Symptoms sound promising, Storm

Quick update from me, I've managed to sneak home (shhh don't tell work as they have paid for my hotel)

Told hubby it'd be lovely to see him. I've not mentioned my high so he'll just think it's his rugged good looks, charm and his lucky night!

Having a glass of wine while I catch up on emails then away until 13th July when I am still working but at least I am staying at home (too late for anything by then though!)

Looking forward to logging on then and seeing good news for you guys.

Best wishes and thoughts to all my new buddies

Hi again...

Lychees I bet thats not what you expected when you got to the docs this morning....Hope the phone call goes well tomorrow hunny - fingers crossed for you that everyting is pretty straight forward.

Can you even experience symptoms at 4DPO???

I got in from work today and was met with a pile of post....flicked through and found a letter which looked interesting. I opened it and it was a leaflet asking if I wanted to have a 3D/4D scan of my baby done for £95. They were'nt to know I know that but now but really made me sad and wanted to get on the phone and give them a piece of my mind. Over it now but took me by surprise!!

Nice to hear from you Missy Hope you and hubby have a nice evening together. Don't work too hard

Hello Ladies. I?m still around! I like to look in on you once in a while and see how my old lifeline group is getting on. It?s lovely to see lots of new faces and big waves to those of you that remember me. Best of luck to all of you, the CBFM does work! x

Cyncan I was so upset to read your recent news. What a rollercoaster of emotions this TTC business is for you. I really hope your journey has a happy ending really soon. I hope you have plenty of love and support around you. Good luck. x

Hi Vikks - hope all is going well with you and 2 little ones!!

Vikks!! Thank you so much hun. How are you doing?? When is the baby due?? xoxox

Cyncan I'm doing great thanks. 'Harry' is due 13 Oct, it's going very fast!
I might be back on this thread at the end of the year if DH has his way!
Take care x

Morning all Lychees I got negative results for day 21 test. Spoke to GP and we both agreed to oleave things until I have seen consultant at fertility clinic (whenever that'll be?) as it's practically impossible at the moment to pinpoint ovulation as my cycles have a mind of their own. I know I've only been just over 1 year TTC but I'm honestly starting to feel like it'll never happen, I'd even be happy with a regular 28 day cycle at the moment.

Hopefully you'll get some answers from GP today then honey, let us know how you get on.

Storm that must have been upsetting for you, you should have phoned them and let rip!!

Vikks a BOY!! Harry is a lovely name. x x x

Hy cyncan, sorry I did not replied before but as ususal, crazy, crazy week...
Here is the story of my previous miscarriages: The first one baby was growing ok, went for a scan at 10 weeks cause I started with a very small bleeding and they saw the heart had stopped beating a few days before... Checked with two doctors cause I was so nervous, but no doubt at all. Went for a D&C on the next day. Started trying again after one month, bouth the monitor cause i was travelling and really wanted to get pregnant again. Felt pregnant on second month trying (during vacations). Doctor did scans every 2 weeks, this time the heart stopped beating around 6,5 weeks. Doctor wanted to perform a D&C but it was more risky as I have had one a few months ago and I decided to give a chance for my body to expell it. After around 3 weeks I expelled it, it was quite hard on my body and on my ovaries as they stopped for a long time. I was still recovering and thought not really ovulating but after 4 months I got a chemical pregnancy. Back trying straight after now followed by a special doctor

Hi everyone,

Going for my 5th month trying with the monior. I´ll go back to my second session of acunpuntre tomorrow and have a doctor appointment next week.

I´ve been having some ovary pain in the beggining of the cycle. This is the second month this is happening. Has anyone ever had something like this?

Hi All,

Hi Babyhoping sounds like you had rough time of it hun......so sorry to hear that.
I have experienced Ovary Pain but not until I was due to Ovulate. I hadn't ever experienced this (or noticed any pain) before we got pregnant first time. But after we Terminated our first Pregnancy (imcompatible with life apparently) and then bought the Monitor so we could start trying again, I started getting strange cramping pains around CD14 - I posted on here (i think) to ask about it and someone pointed out it could be Ovulation Pain - then the next day I peaked! I think maybe its something to do with my previous PG and the termination that I can feel this now.

I'm getting a little impatient now and really want to Test but I know this won't do me any good - still have that dull ache in my tummy. I'm sure its not phantom period pain I usually get this a few days before my period so this is quite early and has been going on since 2DPO.

Boba it was upsetting dear and I did feel ilke letting rip, especially as I would have been 6 months PG today, but I'm over it now. Hope your able to make an appointment with the fertility clinic soon hun and get the ball rolling.

Babyhoping I hope you don't mind me asking but What is a Chemical Pregnancy? I'm learning!!

Still no call back from the DR's so I am a bit now. I think I might be better off queuing for an appointment in the morning.

Boba, do you have your appointment date yet?

Keziah, how are you doing? If I recall correctly, didn't you have low progesterone, too. I find myself in the same boat and have no idea what happens next. Did your GP just refer you to the fertility clinic without any further testing?

vnewmummy, were you prescribed Clomid because you were not ovulating?

I have so many q's for my DR so it's been really frustrating today not being able to speak to her.

Hello all! Sorry I've been AWOL for a couple of weeks - just really busy.

Welcome to the newbies

cyncan - sorry to hear your news. I was there April and June 2008 and I know how devastating it is. My third pregnancy resulted in my gorgeous DS so stay strong and positive.
FWIW, you are doing the right thing in taking some time off work to start to regain your strength - physically and emotionally.
Take care

Lychees - how annoying about your GP appointment! Hope you get to see them soon.

Vikks - good to hear from you. Glad all is going well!

Storm - that waiting to test time is sooo hard. Fingers crossed for you!

Hello Boba, Keziah, BabyHoping, vnewmummy, MissyRaines and anyone else I've missed!

I'm still frustrated that we're not officially ttc. However things with DH are much better and we're going to start ttc next month
I'm also encouraged by the fact that so far this cycle is mirroring last month exactly (first high on CD15) so hopefully I'll at least have a good idea of when I'm going to ovulate as a starting point!

Last week I had my first ever night away from DS (he's 13mo) as I had to go to a conference with work. DH ended up having to take him to hospital DS got sent home from nursery with a rash and so I told DH to take him to GP and GP referred him! They were at the hospital for 5hrs whilst he had urine and blood tests but thankfully all clear. I was waiting at the end of the phone worried out of my mind and preparing to drive nearly 200miles home if necessary. In the end they put it down to a virus (although I think it might have been a reaction to his MMR jab the previous week) and he was fine!

Essence great you soon able to ttc your next child

Lychees - yes I found I had low progesterone. The gp also ordered thyroid and other general blood tests, blood glucose thread (was top end of ok, so changed my diet) and a SA for dh ... as all tests hospital would order. Have you had all of these, plus a recent smear (last 6-12 months) and a chlmydia test (can be done with smear) - to save time when at hospital.
My Gp did try me with progesterone tests at different points in my cycle- had 3 sets of blood, which meant was taken seriously at hospital. When is your appointment?

Yes, clomid is often used dr told me for low progesterone, but before they prescribe it they have to check everything else out - hence still no treatment for me.

Af should be soon, quite a relief as can book HSG then!

Hi everyone,

Well nasty old AF arrived so I'm back to day 1 of my 7th cycle TTC

I'm reading with interest all your messages about GPs and tests etc as I'm seriously considering going to the docs to get checked out. I know they say to wait 12 months but if it doesn't happen this month I might book an appointment (would it be really naughty to add a few months on and say I've been TTC for a year?).

Feeling quite depressed at being back at the bottom of the list again now - but on a positive note I've just stocked up the fridge with pear cider and wine and will be enjoying a few cold drinks later on

Ooh I've just noticed that Vnewmummy is on day 31 of a UCL of 26-28 days!! Any news Vnewmummy?

Hello All,

Thanks for sharing re: GP tests etc, Keziah. Hope you get an appointment for your HSG v soon.

My GP finally called to say that my progesterone level was 23 when it should be 30+ but she is not overly concerned and said I probably need to de-stress and try for a couple more months before seeing her for a referral.

De-stress!?! I don't have the time to de-stress ... in between working, handling a toddler, organising work on our house, doing my husband's books and housework, I can barely find the time to do my hair or put some makeup on [you should see my unruly eyebrows!]. I would love, love, love some more me time but I don't know how or where I can shoe-horn that in.

Sorry AF got you, Pink Custard. You're right, we do need a BFP on here to keep us feeling positive.

Essence, glad that ttc is back on the card. Good luck for next month.

Sending loads of luck to anyone who's testing soon.

Hi Everyone (waves)....

Well its the start of another weekend and I wonder what its got instore for us all???

Lychees fingers crossed the next few months are productive for you hun and that there will be no need to faff about with the docs. As for de-stressing, although I don;t have a toddler to run around after I know how difficult it can be with a demanding job, so I kinda feel ya. I rota it in and let everyone know they can't disturb me for an afternoon, that way its planned.

Sorry about AF Pinkcustard, how annoying!! Have a drink for me hun

Oooh fingers crossed these few extra cycle days are a good sign for vnewmummy.

Giraffemummy I'm so bored of this 2WW already too - its 5DPO (or 6....depends if you count from the first peak or second...not sure) for me. Although somehow the urge to test has completely disappeared - I don't feel anxious or curious or anything! STRANGE!! However, cramping pain has turned into a strange dragging sensation that can be quite sharp at times and I feel quite tired - not reading too much into it though as I've had quite a busy week.

Essence - nice to meet you! Hope everything goes well for you when you start to TTC again x

Well have a nice weekend everyone. Babydust to all XX

GOSH.....I need to get a life, been the only one posting on here in 2 whole days......

Still here Storm. Just trying to act all laid back this month and forget what day I'm on, how many DPO, which days pre-ovulation we SWI, what our preliminary fertility test results might be, if I took my vits......so y'know playing it real cool......I wish ;).
