It's funny how you just know you arent ready to give up. On holiday stuffed full of the cold DH wasn't in the mood. I was feeling down. Thinking why am I bothering but like you I just couldn't bring myself to accept DS was it.

Still no news here, I don't even think I've any tests left in the house.

 

[gemmy]

Thanks ladies, ah tommy I am still hopeful for you.

Less hopeful for me like you whiteorchid bb sore it isn't letting up and I have been know to be like this for 7 days before af. I really want to be wrong! 10dpo, lp normally 12 so give it till thurs I think

Great you can start meds issac good luck eyemom and enjoy your nice sleep.

Good night all x

Yep sore bb for me = not good and they have been sensitive today so definitely not a good sign The good news though is our Fertilaid FINALLY arrived today! Of course DH is away until Thur but at least he can start it on Friday. Might be a bit of a challenge getting him to remember to take 1 at lunchtime but will try! Also need to remember that when I order next months supply to order it 2 weeks early! We're going to give it a go for 3 months - have nothing to lose other than the cost of it but it's a cheap option to try in the scheme of things!!

Hugs to you all

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Urgh - I must have eaten a MILLION calories today! And I wonder why I can't lose weight!! One of those horrible constantly hungry days

 

[gemmy]

Spotting has arrived, that's me out again - bummer just to make a quick post and let you know. I felt it spotting as well but wasn't a shock I guess x

 

[eyemom]

aww gemmy, boo!

orchid, yay about the Fertilaid arriving! That was my thought too...might be flushing money, but if it works, it's pretty cheap by comparison! I bought 2 mos worth to start with so I wouldn't risk running out while I ordered more. I worry...what if it works and I spent money on a bottle I don't need? But I think if that should happen, I'll be too thrilled to care about that!

And some days...a girl's just gotta eat. If I'm hungry, I have no will power to say no to food.

Everyone else, good morning (here). Hope you all have a great day. And fingers crossed, as always.

 

[tommyg]

Gemmy sorry AF got you. Nothing happening here yet. Not feeling overly hopeful at the moment.

 

[IsaacRalph]

gemmy sorry af got you! Catch up with you girls tomorrow busy old day here and just given myself my first injections x

 

[tommyg]

Just had another BFN, think it's over this month.

 

[eyemom]

sorry tommy

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Gemmy & Tommy - so sorry for both of you Was hoping we would get another BFP this month. I guess that's the thing with all of us LTTTC's - you get so used to the horrible BFN each and every month that you expect nothing else. Still I was hopeful for you both. Hugs to you both - I hope you are ok.

Eyemom - I was totally going to order 2 months supply but I thought the same as you! I was also wanting to wait and see how DH gets on with them but I might order 2 next time, especially with the lead up to Christmas and all the extra post out there! Will slow things down even more. Still debating ordering the Preseed as well, but then again I think what have I got to lose!! If he only has a small percentage of good sperm it might help those few head in the right direction!!

Isaac - how are you doing? How are the injections going? Are you able to do them yourself or do you need DH to do it for you?! I would probably be a total woose and need hubby to do them for me. Whenever I have blood tests done etc I ALWAYS look away!

AFM - nothing to report. Since I didn't chart at the start of the month FF can't give me an O day but I know it was most likely Thur or early Friday. I've already had twinges of sensitive breasts so know I am out but I am actually ok with it this month (for now anyway!).

Better run for now and get on but just wanted to catch up and say hello to you all :wave:!

 

[tommyg]

Thanks for the hugs White.
Now 16/17 dpo, no AF and another BFN. I don't feel pregnant but where is AF?

I can't look at needles going into me either, its not natural!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey Tommy sorry about the bfn! Maybe you didn't ovulate when you thought you did? Can't remember did you do opk's this month?
Good luck with the fertileaid girls have looked them up before but you can't take them during fertility treatment!
Afm yeah totally fine with the injections not bothered in the slightest! Helps being a nurse and injecting people, taking bloods and putting venflons in everyday all day of my working life. The buserelin stings like a bitch but all good. Have got ultrasound next Thursday and go from there! Thankfully no side effects yet either!

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Haha of course! Even though I was thinking about you being a nurse the other day it totally didn't click! I'm sure you can do it with your eyes closed! I have heard that one of the injectables does totally sting

Tommy - maybe Isaac is right? Any chance you ovulated later than you thought? I better run - I'm in full-on Halloween decorating mode! It's good to keep busy! Have a great weekend ladies

 

[tommyg]

Hi This is the first month ever that I've used a opk. I've just checked back my posts on the Wed 9th I posted "got a +opk yesterday and boobs telling me I've ovulated"

It was a clearblue digital kit that I used, ok I know they aren't ever 100%, I'm fairly positive I ovulated around the 9th. Which puts me at 16 dpo. I guess I can only give it another few days and see what happens.

 

[tommyg]

I didn't know you were a nurse Issacs. I don't know that I could make a living from poking needles in people.

What are your kids dressing up as for halloween?

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Any sign of the witch Tommy?

My DS is dressing up as Superman! I'm dressing up as a Witch - not super exciting but I already had a hat! House is covered in decorations - I have gone a little overboard. Really looking forward to it - it's so nice to have a distraction from all this TTC and constantly hearing about ppl being pregnant!!

 

[tommyg]

Nope the witch is still buzzing around on her broomstick, not landed yet!

DS is goings as buzz lightyear it was the outfit he picked!

 

[lanet]

Hi ladies. I'm 31 and nearring the 3 year ttc mark. My dd is from a previous relationship. We are trying femara/bravelle and iui this month.

 

[lanet]

Wow.....I just went onto FB and saw a photo of one of my friends holding a pumpkin in front of her tummy with the caption "We're expecting!". I feel like someone just kicked me in the stomach and I burst out crying Although I always feel a sense of disappointment when I hear someone else is pregnant with Baby number 2 this one is really tough. Her DS is 6 weeks younger than mine but she always said she wanted a big gap between her children and she is the LAST of my friends who already have children to have her 2nd. I am so delighted for her but at the same time utterly crushed. I just want it to happen to us SO badly and it seems like with literally all of my friends they just click their fingers when they want to and bam they are pregnant! Wow - this feels horrible!!! I want it to pass

Only good thing is we are having a party on Saturday and they are coming so I am SO glad I found out today rather than at the party in front of everyone! TBH I have been expecting this - I knew it was only a matter of time before the news came, I just never in a million years expected it to be so hard.

Sorry for the rant girls - I'm shocked at myself for my own reaction - maybe it was the whole "FB" thing although it was cute. One strong cup of tea coming my way (Oh and just to really screw me up what's with this new B&B format!!!)

Those Facebook announcements get me too. I can be scrolling along having a good day and them bam, a kick in the stomach like you said. I try not to be angry but I am. A girl just announced baby # 8 the other day!!!!!!!
