Vnewmummy BFP 19/08/10

Morning everyone & thanks for the good wishes and advice.

harry wasn't sure of your BFP date so add it on

angel hi how's the bump doing?

Boba, sorry you didn't get to have the HSG as expected but it seems like your consultant is doing the right thing by getting you a scan as well as the HSG. It's just frustrating that they didn't tell you how to prep for the HSG in the first place. Not long until next Weds tho.

No sign of AF yet but I have gone to CD34 before but those times I got my peaks later in my cycle. Also, my(.)(.) are still really sore [more so than usual] so here's hoping. I'm not planning on POAS until I'm late though.

Hi everyone!

Hi all,

It seems as though the ball is rolling boba so fingers crossed that this is the start of the (short) path to your BFP.

My BFP was the 1st August x

Thanks Lychees hope you get your BFP hun.

Lychees - everything crossed for you. x

Wow such a good idea boba to have recent graduates up - it has made me smile today!

And Lychees - fx for you

Vnewmummy - great news from stick today!

congratulations vnewmummy, I think I've already said congrats to harry but just in case not congrats!

day 12, still low fertility, bored of weeing on sticks that always come back negative now :(

Thanks Row and Angel and everyone else I may have missed.x

Row - Looking at your UCL day 12 showing low seems ok, I got 2 highs, 2 peaks then back to lows and have had months when it was low until day 14. FX a high is on its way for you. x

Wow, wow and thrice wow.

Massive, humungas and whopping congratulations to harry and vnewmummy

What better way to come back after my week off (looking after hubby's 8 year old which is NO holiday!) and to see the fantastic news.

My news is that I thought I wouldn't peak this month as it had gone past day 18 but I peaked on 22 and 23. WTF? Must be the lack of routine in my life. I got a new iphone and have a an app called femcal that allows me to put in my stats and tell me when i should get AF. it reckons day 35.

I also bought the baby-making bible that someone else on here bought (forgive me for not looking back to see) It is all very sensible and I am trying to follow what I can.

I can't say congratulations enough times but bloody well done you two. And you know what they say, things happen in threes!!!!

Congratulations vnewmummy another graduate!!
Good luck and keep us updated.

Harry Hope you're still doing well!

Who's next?

Hello all!

Sorry for going AWOL, just lots been happening (including me falling down the stairs rather badly - oops!)

vnewmummy - so pleased to read your news
Congratulations!

row - I'm often the same. I usually don't get any highs until CD15. Hope you get some highs soon though as I know how frustrating it is!

Missyraines - hope you did get at least some time to yourself on your week off?

Harry - yay for your scan too

Lychees - fingers crossed for you. I'm hoping for you :)

Hello Boba , Vikks , Keziah , Angel , Storm , Tango , Starlet , choccie , Jenn , ljg , PinkCustard , Rosie and anyone else I've missed

Congratulations to Harry and vnewmummy on your news.

Starts Rant:

I'm starting my 5th day on a high and no sign of a peak yet.

I came into this CBFM calm and collected but as my high continues the little irrational voice in my head is starting to get louder!

I know the CBFM says you can be on a high for up to 5 days before going to peak, and I know this is my first cycle on CBFM so there's going to be some refining BUT:

How long do you all take to switch over to Peak? Is this where I discover that I've got lazy ovaries which just can't be arsed to do their job properly?

I don't think either of us can face the prospect of BD every day for 20 days if the CBFM stays on high!

Rant over

Sorry to burden you all with this. The calm voice in my head has now taken over and I know at this stage this stage I just need to give it time.

Congrats Harry and Vnewmummy!!!

Tango my first month of using CBFM was great! a few days of highs, then 2 peaks, followed by lows...so thought great stuff, this will have me up the duff in no time!

This month was totally different! 20 days of high, no peaks??? very strange and expensive!, did get a + on a ebay cheapie though. I did read that sometimes the rise is so slow that the monitor doesn't always pick it up?...anyway stick with it, maybe it just takes a while to work out our cycles?.

Evening Ladies!

Just changed the stats as it is back to CD2 for me. I was, of course disappointed at arrival of AF but not as devastated as I have been these past few months because I have my first appointment at the fertility clinic next week.

Hope you all had a good weekend.

Lychees sorry AF got you hon. Let me know how you get on at clinic next week. xx

Hi boba and everyone else - big waves.

Bump is doing well - was 24 weeks yesterday (due date got brought forward 2 days to 12 December on my 16 wk scan). Am having a little boy - we found out 4 weeks ago as I am rubbish with suprises. Am very unorganised and still havent bought a thing as dont want to tempt fate and all that.

Thinking of everyone and wishing Harry and Vnewmummy happy and healthy pregnancies.

Boba, got my fx for your next appt xxx

Lychees So sorry to hear AF got you hun but good you're staying positive for your apptmt. What day is it?

tango My first month of CBFM I got no highs either so don't panic.

Angel Thanks for that. A boy, how exciting, very glad to hear everyhting is going well for you hun. x

I found out my BF is pregnant with her 2nd on Sat. I am genuinely happy for her but was upset she was worried about telling me. I have had a really difficult weekend. DH was away on stag do so haven't been able to talk to anyone. Everytime another person in RL falls pregnant I feel like crumbling. As the days & months go on I feel like another small part of me dies. I don't mean to sound so dramatic it is just such a sad, empty feeling. On top of that the last thing I want is peoples pity. I'm afraid of my frienships suffering, anyone have any advice?

All in all feeling v.v sorry for myself [

I know that feeling boba - especially that feeling like a part of you has died. I wish I had great words of advice but my method of coping has been very dysfunctional: I've feigned lots of work etc and withdrawn from friends who are PG or have small babies. If the phone rings, I ask DH to talk to them and pretend I'm out. Fortunately I'm a bit of a loner anyway so its not hugely noticable ... but I literally cannot stand hearing about their babies and PGs etc. It's like a knife in my heart. I think I spent most of last week pathetically crying and I am dreading the possibility my one relative has her baby before I even get PG. That will be unbearable.

The one thing I read somewhere on MN that rang true for me was someone pointing out that there isn't a finite pool of babies in the world and someone else being PG doesn't mean you've missed your chance or lost out; and also that their baby would never ever be YOUR baby anyway ... I find that oddly comforting, even though it doesn't stop the pain.

Boba, I have my appointment on Tuesday morning. I'll be having a scan and a chat with the consultant.

to you and Choccie. I know the feeling well. I've really been down in the doldrums these past couple of months. I can't really offer advice either. I've also been sort of avoiding people where I can. And I took a sickie on Fri when AF arrived as I couldn't face the world. I just retreated to my bed.

Has anyone looked into counselling?

Hi everyone else.

Hi - first time poster, long time lurker!

I am 32, TTC for 7 months...I have one daughter, who is just over two, conceived within 3 months.

I am currently CD 30 and had my highs on day 23/24, two mediums prior to that. I have been using an on line ov calculator before to with no luck (obviously!) - can not fathom how I would have a peak on days 23/22! My cycles are between 31 and 34 days long.

I am new to all this - I had that arrogant attitiude I would just shag a bit and shazzam... that'll tech me! I am getting very worried now! I have had borderline hypothyroid blood results and am under investigations for right sided abdo pain too... not sure if its linked but having a scan at the end of the month just to check all ok.

Any tips...advice...reassurance! I'm not sure about this and like I say starting to get a bit down with it all!

Nice to "meet" you all and my best wishes and luck to everyone TTC.

P.S Long time lurker on MN not on this board - only just found this today! Just suddenly sounded like a weirdo when I read my post back!

Thanks Boba and LJG. It looks like I won't be peaking this month as I've just hit another day of a high reading

Does anyone have one-sided ovulation? Is it possible? I've not been monitoring my ovulation symptons too closely but I've got a sneaking suspicion that I am only ovulating every other month. I'm fairly sure I ovulated last month but seem to recall missing the symptons the previous month.

Oh well, if this is the case, at least I've got the CBFM to compile evidence!

Boba I dont know if this will help hun but I promise I had really given up and felt just like you. I am 13 years older than you and I am sure even if it takes you longer than planned you will get there. Its a long road I know. There will be futher options for you to explore, hang in there.x

How you feel and Choccie is completely normal and ver painful under the circumstances. True friends will always be around and any who are thougthless etc, well it doesnt matter about them.

I send you my love and support xx

Folksey welcome to the thread. I too had been lurking a while before jumping in. I hope your tests prove productive. It sounds like you're heading in the right direction by following up on them.

You're a little further along than I am. We're just starting a family and I'm on something like month 6 of TTC. Hence using the CBFM to iron out any glitches!
