30 and TTC#1! CD14

[mrshanna]

Hi Carhar! Wow does your ticker say cycle day 62??? That is so unbelievably unfair!!! Did you have your doctors appointment yet? They have to do something to help you get your cycles regulated hun! I wanna see you get your BFP!

No I havent tested yet. AF is due Sunday, so I am trying to wait until then. I can do it, I can do it, I can do it!!!

Ive had some odd symptoms, but Im trying not to get excited about them. Clomid does such strange things that I just dont want to get my hopes up!

How are you doing?

Hows the first tri going MissS? Hope you are doing well!

 

[MissSazra]

Hi ladies!

I'm good thanks. Have had some waves of nausea, but the main thing I've noticed is just how hot I am for most of the time. My face feels like it's on fire at the moment, but as long as little sprout is settling in he/she can throw whatever they want at me!

I can't wait to have you both over in fisrt tri! We're telling my parents on Sunday and I've never been so scared!

Keeping everything crossed for you both! Xx

 

[Carhar]

Yes cd62 and no ov. I think it'll be a 6 month cycle. My apptmt is next Friday. I can't wait. I hope they help me!!!

You're so patient. I would have tested by now.

I have my fx for you. I can't wait to see pics of Hanna Anna Hanna, lol x

 

[Carhar]

Oh how exciting MissSazra!

Do they take blood? Or will the first tests be when you have a scan? I really have no idea!

X

 

[Carhar]

Ooh sorry forgot to say I bought a couple of psychic predictions. Impatiently waiting for them. I thought they'd be a bit of fun.

 

[MissSazra]

I have no idea what happens next or when. The doctor has passed my details on so I guess I just have to wait.

I never bought the psychic predictions, but I did buy a fertility spell a couple of months back. I've worn the charm every day since I got it.

I hope you get some much needed answers from the specialist! Xx

 

[mrshanna]

Oh Carhar Ill be anxious to hear what the doctors tell you. Ive read a lot of posts by other ladies on here who also rarely ov. I had no idea it is such a common thing. The patience of you and the other ladies with this problem is amazing. I. Would. Lose. My. Mind. I have ZERO patience!!!

 

[Carhar]

Mrshanna- unfortunately I've learnt that no matter what herbal remedy I take or want it otherwise there's nothing I can do. I just have to have something to work towards. Fortunately we've got the appointment otherwise I'd be going out of my mind!

I'm looking forward to hearing that you didn't get your af x

Thanks MissSazra. I might have to buy myself one of those lucky spells! x

 

[mrshanna]

Well...i wish I had good news to report. The witch showed up a day earlier this cycle. Part of me wishes I had one more day to hope, the other part is glad that if it had to be a "No", I found out now.

One interesting bit of news...my DH and I are considering looking into adopting. We wouldnt give up on trying for one of our own, but we know we have room in our hearts for an adopted child, and therfore think that maybe we should look into that as well.

Opinions?

 

[Carhar]

Oh no. I'm sorry the witch got you

What is the adoption process like where you are? Here it's long and fraught with challenges. I'm sure it would be worth it in the end though. Are you going to continue trying whilst going thought the process?

I personally would go as far as IVF then try to adopt (if my OH would like me- he says he doesn't want to raise some elses child). BUT I would get 1 or 2 opportunities for IVF with the NHS.

Have you considered upping you clomid dosage?

 

[mrshanna]

Well here, the adoption process is expensive, but can actually be rather fast. There are some agencies that get together a list of possible adoptive parents, and allow the birth mother to choose. So it can happen FAST if the birth mother chooses you. Like, in a couple months.

I dont really think there is a point in upping my Clomid dosage. I ovulate on my own, and I ovulated on 50mg. I think if there is some type of atual "problem", it may stem from a treatment I had to have done to my cervix several years ago. I may need to go the IUI route. Which would be fine. To me. The husband may be weirded out by anything other than the traditional way of making a baby. He would sooner adopt I think than have to "deposit" in a cup!

 

[Carhar]

Good point about the clomid. What days do you take it?

I would have thought adopting would be just as rewarding if not more so. Very different here when you adopt. Basically, you can adopt older children and special needs but rarely do you get toddlers and babies. They are also funny about adoptive parents coming from the same ethnic group, which is sad. I think as long as a parent is willing to explain about a Childs heritage it really doesn't matter.

I think you should do what is right for you and I am sure whatever you choose you'll be a fantastic mum x

 

[mrshanna]

Hey Carhar! How did the appointment with the specialist go???

 

[Carhar]

Hi mrshanna!

The appointment didn't go so well as they hadn't completed the sa, so my oh has to do it again. Which has put us back about 6 weeks as the lady who completes them is on leave. I also have to get a hsg, but they don't want me to do it until the sa comes back ok.

The good news is provided everything is okay he'll prescribe clomid at our next appointment on 31 May. It feels like a lifetime away though!

How are you? Have you made a decision on adopting? X

 

[mrshanna]

Hi Carhar!!! I see you finally had AF! Yeah! Im sure youre relieved she finally made an appearance!

Sorry I havent been on much lately. I have been TTCing the relaxed way this month.No OPKs, no temping, and very little BnB time. I needed a break from all of the obsessing.

DH is having his SA tomorrow, and I will be having an HSG too. Assuming Im not preggers already (trying not too get excited about that possibilty).

We havent decided about adoption yet. It is a very expensive process, and we just dont know if we are financially secure enough right now to do it. If we can get enough saved up though...

How are you doing? I bet May 31 sounds like a Lifetime Away!!!

 

[Carhar]

Hey mrshanna, it's good to see you back x

I know what you mean about taking a relaxed approach to ttc. I've stopped temping and will just temp to confirm oving. This cycle I'm using soy and my cbfm as it could be my last chance at a natural bfp.

My OH had his SA on Tuesday and we got the unofficial results yesterday to say all was fine and I could go ahead with the hsg next week. I'm dreading it as it's meant to hurt and I really hope there's no blockages! At the same time I hope my af goes in time as it's been really light, I think it's going then it comes back!

We've brought our fs appointment foward by two weeks as I couldn't get the time off work, the alternative was to wait until Mid-June.

I really hope this is your cycle. Have you had any symptoms? I know many women don't get any before their bfp x

 

[mrshanna]

Hey girly! Im glad your Dhs SA turned out well!!! Thats fantastic news!

We didnt get to do my DHs SA this week. Long story...involving not "cleaning out the pipes" recently enough. So since we have to do that and get the results before they will do my HSG, testing may be delayed a bit. *sigh*

I have had a bit of symptoms. I have had some acheyness in my breasts, not sore to the touch really, just achey...weird huh? And cramps and cramps and more cramps! Since about 7dpo on.??? Could be pms or pre-bfp.

 

[Carhar]

How frustrating. We were told to abstain from bding for 5 days, it seems weird it works the other way too.

I hope you get your bfp this cycle. When are you testing? X

 

[mrshanna]

NO Easter testing for me.The arrived bright and early this morning. I think Im giving up for a while. I just cant take this crushing disappointment month after month. Its time to diet, concentrate on going back to school, and leave the rest in Gods hands.

 

[Carhar]

I'm sorry

Do you think it's worth doing the sa and hsg so you can rule out any other issues?

I completely understand your disappointment, it's so frustrating x
