im soo glad you have enjoyed your time away! how long is a flight to thailand ?

im hoping the tww will be soon, cd 13 here! and still on lows on my monitor, usually i would have had highs now and then peak in a few days, think these tablets are moving things back....

im glad your healed now. so whats next on the cards for you?? now the laparoscopy is over and done with?
 
Unfortunately it's longer on the way back :(
It's 11 hours from London but from Bangkok to London it's 13 hours, today is going to be a loooooong day! Just at the airport now, fly in 2 hours, Land back in the UK around 7.30pm.

I do not want to go to work tomorrow!!

Sounds like the tablets are definitely doing something, fingers crossed for that high soon!

As for us... Well I'm expecting to arrive home to a letter from the consultant for my follow up appointment so I can find out how bad the endo was etc and if they found anything else then I'll see what's next. They did say you're more fertile In the months following the procedure so guess I'll be back to trying as normal!

I'm not sure at what point we will give up.... Maybe give it until the end of the year. I think people just expect us to be a no kid family anyway as we are very social and love our holidays and enjoy life as it is. But a little one can make all these things more exciting I guess! I'm just over the TTC, it's so frustrating! I shall see what the consultant says and go from there :)
 
Got my peak today!!!

Did you get your appointment letter through??
 
Ah great news re: peak!! :)
Woo hoo! nearly another TWW for you.

No sign of the follow up letter yet, they certainly like to take their time in London. i will chase tomorrow as I know that the consultant always works in the office on Thursdays.

AF arrived today. A little early but arrived as expected, last cycle was definitely a write off! Onto the next one !
 
I think I'm going to be out this month :( only managed to bd the night before my first peak :(

Did you phone? What did they say?

Sorry af arrived !
 
It only takes one time Lucy!
But yeah I know what you mean, we only did it once this cycle and it was def too soon after my lap. I also believe that I ovulated when I was on the plane so the worst timing ever haha.

I didnt need to call, letter arrived. My follow up appointment is on the 13th of April so blimmin ages away!

Im so happy its the weekend, its been awful being back in work. On a good note the days are definitely getting longer and i have alot coming up in the next few weeks so hopefully the next TWW will fly by!
 
Hi kiwi and lucy. How are u both? I hope you are both ok? I am sorry i have not been on alot lately and i literally do not know how far you ladies are with ttc. I had 2 months off from trying. We have just got bavk from a lovely week away and have just started ttc again. I was hoping to fall pregnant on hiday but our toddler was not prepared to sleep much so we only dtd late at night on cd 11 and i usually ovulate around cd 13. That was the day i dtd and conceived my daughter (13)

My cycles can be 24 days or 26 so im not holding out much hope this month. Sorry for jumping back into this thread x
 
Welcome back Laura! Hope you had a nice holiday, i've just come back from Thailand - so nice to have gotten away for a bit over winter.

Lucy and I are both still here, still TTC!

I had a laparoscopy, hysterectomy and dye test last month, they found some endo on my ovaries so lasered that off while they were in there. I have my follow up appointment in mid April so i'll find out how bad it was and what the next steps are etc. They said very little when I was there and i never got to see my consultant after my operation so have to wait another month to find out.

In the meantime we'll keep TTC. CD6 for me today. Im starting to get really sick of it all so hope it happens soon!
 
welcome back laura!!

hope you had a great holiday!
still ttc, bf had his sperm analysis and ive had a blood test to check im ovulating done. was told to to take vitamins for 3 months, getting refered to a fertility specialist end of next month as that will be us taking them for 3 months.

im due af a week on tuesday, not holding outmuch hope this month
 
Aww ladies. It has been a long journey for you both and i really hope this is your year. What tablets have you been given for 3 months? It is so disheartening how easy it is for some and for others its hard. I dont think i will fall easily. My cycles have been heavy for months and im not sure if my luteal phase is too short as ive had two pregnancys that i have received a bfp and my period has arrived around the time af was due too. I wander if eggs cant stick before af hormones kick in.

The holiday was lovely thank you. Ive been home fir 3 days and it feels like a distant memory though lol xx
 
Im not sure about hormones Laura, maybe someone on here might know. There is so much behind conceiving, it really is a science in itself!!

CD8 for me today. I've got acupuncture after work today. Im hoping that the combination of that plus recently having the Lap work in my favour otherwise im considering not going weekly as its a pricey habit!

I saw there is a post on here about people skipping March as they dont want to have the baby's birthday clashing with Christmas. I just did a quick calculation online that if im lucky enough to conceive this cycle the baby would be due on Dec 13th. Im not really that phased about the date of the birth... Anyone else? I think before I was TTC for so long I probably wouldve been a little conscious about Dec, but now im not that bothered
 
That's interesting. My daughter is a feb baby and her birthday is obviously cold and we were unwell this year. But when i wanted her i just wanted a baby and i never cared when she would of been born. I think people born around Christmas often feel they get less or they get everything at once. I think any winter birthday will be cold etc and in the summer theres alot more.

I cant imagine how fed up you are getting. Have you tried taking b6 vitamins? People swear it helped them. I absolutely agree its such a sciemce. Theres so many things. I read ovulation tests detect pregnancy the other week. That was new for me!! Why did nature make it so hard ay :-
 
I have heard of B6 as potentially helping... which time of the cycle do you take it, or just everyday?

I think i'll try as usual again this month and when I have my follow up Lap appointment in a month i'll ask the consultant what the next steps are. Im guessing it might be another couple of months trying then maybe IVF, dunno....

Hopefully i'll be one of those people that goes all the way up to the IVF stage then magically conceives just before they start. I hope so anyway!

I hope so too.my sil had ivf and paid privately and it worked first time. They had two eggs implanted in the february and had a daughter in the november. I can imagine it is expensive if you pay for it. I personally think its a cruel price. They had alot of money where as some people rely on the free nhs one.

I bet your partner also feels frustrated now too. I know it's absolutely not going to help but ivf or naturally when you become a mum you will have so much to look foreward too. Keep remaining positive and it will all come together.
 
The dr gave bf a list of vitamins he had to take, all these vitamins are in welman conception. So you get it in a combination pack with pregnancare conception so we have been taking these :)

I have been wondering about the ivf route, don't think I'm entitled to it as I already have dd? I could be wrong ( hoping I'm wrong!! ) if I wanted to afford ivf I would need to sell our car!! And completely skint ourselves ... and it would 100% be worth it if it worked !! But imagine if it didn't :( ?

Af due Tuesday , think I'm out, got my usual sore boobs and really hungry!!

I am not sure i think is possibly is for first time mums only which sucks. I think its around £10,000 but i do not know and like you say great if it works!!! Do you find yourself going through stages of not knowing what you want anymore? I get really stressed some months about adding another person into my routine but 95% of the time i am so ready. Some people just fall pregnant so easily and i feel like its not the case for me. I started trying last summer and i did give up for a couple of months so i could relax on holiday and not have ms but here i am its almost april and i still have not fallen.

The b6 vits you take once a day with a meal and i have read they do help. But i am guessing they will be in the multi vitamins. X
 
Finally my NHS knowledge can come in handy here....
IVF criteria depends on where you live. Its up to the Borough you live in. For example: Greenwich CCG might say you have to weigh a certain weight or be a certain age but that might be completely different in Portsmouth for example. Its best to google your area and find out what criteria applies to you.

I have just found out today that a friend of mine is pregnant. Obviously delighted for her but its another kick in the guts too. She was visiting me from New Zealand at the end of last year and told me she was planning to try when she went home.... and just like that she fell pregnant. She's 35, drinks most days and smokes like a train... And here i am struggling to get pregnant FFS!

Got a very strong OPK today / yesterday so nearly back in the TWW for me.
 
Af is almost finished so i will be in the tww in a few days ahhh xx

It is a bitter pill to swallow when others seem to get it without trying or when you painfully want it for yourself. Its only human to feel that way and its ok to admit that you feel that way :-( life is so unfair. My oh cousin has a two year old and has lost two babies st 12 weeks and 8 weeks in 5 months, we were talking last week about what a struggle it seems to be xx
