30 and TTC#1! CD14

[Carhar]

I thought I was prepared but you put me to shame!

Got another evap same colour and a bfn on a frer. Nevermind. Going to hold off til Sat try again then see if it's any different.

[MissSazra]

Well I thought I was doing a lot last cycle but obviously not enough, so it's time to pull out all the stops and see what happens. If it's another bfn this cycle I really won't know what to try next!

Sorry to hear bout your evap and bfn. But hey, you're still in until the shows, so I'll keep everything crossed for you! Xx

 

[mrshanna]

Good morning ladies! I have had a rough morning. 14dpo with a BFN! I know Im not out until the witch, but...not feeling optimisitc at all. Clomid can actually make your cycle longer, so I will probably be late but to no avail. That hurts. Good luck with your appt. on Monday! I'll pray for a BFP for you Carhar!!!

 

[MissSazra]

Oh no, sorry you've had a horrible morning mrshanna. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you as well. I have no experience of clomid so can't really offer any advice, but I didn't realise it could make cycles longer. I hope you get into a routine with it soon. Xx

 

[Carhar]

Oh I'm sorry mrshanna! I didn't realize that clomid could lengthen your cycle. I'm hoping that I'll be on it once I meet with the fertility specialist. I definitely want to know everything about it!

I'm convinced the ic were evaps now as today's was lighter and my temps are far too low. I just wish I knew what was going on. It's so frustrating.

Soon we'll all be bump buddies I'm sure x

 

[MissSazra]

I can't wait to be bump buddies. It will happen for us all, let's keep up the PMA and we'll get there.

I have to say, all the honey I'm having is putting me off honey for life, I really have to force it down. Hubby is having the same problem with the soup (which I would love) but he's splitting his can into two, half for lunch half for dinner. But it will all be worth it in the end when it gets us our little bump!

Sending you both lots of sticky Xx

 

[Carhar]

Yuck, I hate honey to me it tastes like the smell of dirty hair.

Love tomato soup too. I think I could eat it everyday without a problem. My OH hates it.

I was feeling down now a bit excited about being bump buddies. As long as I'm not left too far behind!

Does anyone occasionally wander into the baby clothes sections in shops? I can't believe how expensive buggies are. I saw one in John Lewis' window for £550!

 

[MissSazra]

I've looked at everything baby I have to admit. I have seen the pram I want, it's a Spin by Mothercare and I love it. You can interchange a carseat on it as well to make it more compact. I have even taken it for a test drive and it moves really easily! I'm so naughty! lol

 

[Carhar]

OMG, have you decorated the nursery? lol. You are super organized. I feel guilty looking at baby things as I don't have a bump to go with it.

I also think someone I know will see me and realize we're ttc. Paranoid I know, but I couldn't deal with the pressure.

 

[MissSazra]

Thankfully we're moving in July, otherwise I could well have kitted out a room! lol

I like to look at the baby stuff when I'm down oddly enough. It seems to cheer me up thinking about what might be, rather than what we don't have yet.

The only people I've told we're ttc is everyone at work as I have to take the time off to go down to London for the specialist. It's actually quite nice, as loads of others at work have told me their stories (and problems) with ttc, and it's nice to know you're not alone and it's more common than you think. I guess I just assumed everyone who had kids had them first time of trying with no problems, so it's kind of a relief to know that we're not the only ones struggling!

 

[Carhar]

That's a nice way to look at it.

I really wouldn't want work to know. I have some good friends there but I like keeping separate. I am career focused in a sales industry which is not the most understanding place to be pregnant.

 

[MissSazra]

The problem is I'm a teacher, and it takes a good hour and a half to get to London and they don't do late appointments so I have to take afternoons off to go. It's hard to try and get an afternoon off without saying why, so I had to tell them. The head said he'd already guessed it was that anyway when I said I had an appointment in London, and then said he'd had problems too, and would support me as much as I needed, so I thought that was nice.

I guess it all just depends on where you work. It also helps that I'm new to the school so I haven't overly made 'good friends' so I don't mind them knowing.

 

[Carhar]

That's good of him.

My boss is great for letting me have time off, but I think she'd be disappointed if she knew we were ttc. You'd never guess I work in HR, lol.

Took my temp tonight and it's a degree lower than normal. Hopefully I'm about to ov??? X

 

[MissSazra]

Sounds promising. I just kept forgetting to temp, and as it was all over the place I just gave up! lol

 

[mrshanna]

Hi Again!

Horrible day at work to go along with my disappointing morning! I am actually self employed. I own a gas (petrol?) station. I read you ladies talking about getting time off, and I do have any advantage there, owning my own business, but it is NOT as great as you would think. Every day brings some new catastrophe!

I have been trying to figure out who I can trust to run my business for me once I am taking time off for birth/child raising.

I suprisingly dont go near the baby isle unless I am shopping for someone elses baby shower, which has been happening quite a lot. I just dont want to be caught teary eyed in the baby stuff...that would be soooo embarassing. But believe me, i have mentally decorated and redocorated the "baby" room in my house a million times.

BTW...no AF today...so I guess there is still a bit of hope!

Fingers crossed for being bump buddies!

 

[MissSazra]

Ooooh, there is definitely still hope mrshanna!

I just got my blood test results and apparently none of them were in red meaning there is no cause for concern. Now I just have to get my doctor to fax them to the gynaecologist so I can go for my next appointment and see where we go from here! Just waiting (more waiting, lol) for them to call me to say they've done it, and then I can book my next appointment!

 

[mrshanna]

She got me. On to next month. I will go get my Clomid refill and start to plan!


Here's to a March !!!

 

[MissSazra]

Oh no!

We will stay positive and get those March BFP's! Xx

 

[Carhar]

Oh no! after all those good signs.

Yep definitely hope we get March bfps.

Got a bfn today and my ov microscope didn't show ferning to indicate ovulation so I'm in limbo at the mo. From my temps it looks like I just skipped my af. Oh well! X

 

[MissSazra]

It must be so frustrating Carhar. I hope you manage to get some more regular cycles back soon! Xx
