Hey everybody. Having a blah day. I planned a lovely self indulgent morning (nails done and facial) and still ended up in a bad mood. Spoke to beautician about trying reflexology next month so ended up going through everything with her which made me feel weird. Went for coffee with with my friend and was in a low mood and then a walk with my other pregnant friend. As evil as it sounds I wish it was me that was pregnant

Think it's day 6. Gertrude hasn't asked for stick. Going to try a normal test and see if there's any line. I think my machine starts asking for sticks at day 9.

Today I feel like I can't take much more of this trying, it's been going on too long. The thought of this going on for another six months or years is ridiculous.

Sorry to whinge and moan. I don't wish to bring anybody else down. I've got a huge bar of chocolate...

 

[Lazydaisys]

I'm like a different person today. Much chirpier. Day 7 low and not asked or sticks.

The chocolate did the trick. How r you guys! X

glad the chocolate did the trick yeah, humpty didn't ask me till cd8... what day did you peak last month hun? xxxxxx

 

[Lazydaisys]

Day 14/15. Seem to have the perfect cycle. Apart from not actually getting pregnant. Wish I really knew what was wrong. 'Unexplained fertility' just means they didn't find out. There's got to be a reason.

 

[Lazydaisys]

I like your chart. I'm very impressed you've kept it up. Are you not tempted to sneak your thermometer to turkey? X

i am, but it wont be accurate, been looking at the weather 14 day forecast, its in the 90's every day, no i've gotta keep it up, other wise dr knobhead wont step in he's not very impressed that i'm slammin charts in his face now, so the quicker i piss him off, the quicker he'll fuck me off to the fertility care
yeah you have got the perfect cycle... were you reading the other posts hun about what ovufriend has reported a problem on mine??? my Lphase is 17 days that could be the problem in me not keeping it, do you know what yours is hun??? xxxxxx

 

[Lazydaisys]

Think mines 14ish. I wondered if yours seems longer because you actually seem to be implanting but its not sticking and then you are bleeding after two days? I don't know just a thought. Wonder if the phase would be shorter for you on a month when you didn't conceive?

I got to have my thyroid function test rechecked as its slightly underactive. Wonder if that's my problem. X

i really dont know hun, thats why i want to see the FS, so i need this chart for him to refer us if you get me hun?? yours is fine at 14 hun, thats normal, i've only ever heard of problems with short ones?? but ovufriend said that, so it has made me wonder whats going on
did they test your thyroid? they should have given you some tablets for it if its underactive hun? xxxxx

 

[Lazydaisys]

Dh- what are you doing? Who are you talking to??

Me-I'm just replying to a post.

Dh- are you on that bumpy baby thing?

Me- yeah, I'm talking to Sarah.

Dh- oh say hi to her for me, how she getting on?!!


I told you dh had been sneaking on here and looking at my posts the cheeky monkey. I will be much more careful deleting my history in future! Need my own I pad now.

 

[Lazydaisys]

They have testing my thyroid a couple of times and then told me to have it testing again in six months time which is now. Underactive is bad as it can stop you ovulating or give you irregular cycles and mess your hormone levels. As it doesn't seen to be doing that to me, they are reluctant to give me medication and mess with my ttc. Will have to see what next bloods say.

Best for you to get to see a specialist or even better not need one at all!X

hahahahaha thats sooooo funny, hi dh
isn't under, when you gain weight? you sure your under, not over hun?? theres nothing to you well tbh, if the under isn't causing problems, then you dont need meds, they checked ovulation etc... what did you say there next move was hun?

yeah the FS is the hope i wanted to hear from him, so i have to piss him off as soon as, or he'll just drag his feet, so 2 weeks on monday, after hols, i'm booked in to see him, will take my charts, and andy is having his SA done that day too.... so yeah hun, hopefully he keeps to his word well he will, cos he hates my erratic behavior lmfao xxxxx

 

[Lazydaisys]

It's the one that makes you put weight on. My dad has under active thyroid though and he's a very skinny man??!! So who knows. My doctor said the under active is bad for fertility but in this case it hasn't affected things. But hang on I can't seem to get pregnant. Who knows. All we can all do is wait and see.

Got two more cycles to try naturally before being referred for iui or ivf. No pressure to conceive in the next two months then! Started the bding early at day 7 then every other day and both egg days. Makes me tired just thinking about it. Lol x

have you tried 4 days before on the day and day after hun? i know it sounds like alot, but its 6 night/mornings of bd hun, some people swear by not doing it on the day, the day before and the day after, you can see what we do on my chart hun xxxxxx

 

[Lazydaisys]

Thanks yeah. I looked at your chart. We did it every day a few few cycles! Every other day for some. I would be happy to do it everyday of ovulation week but once we did that and it became such a chore dh got stressed out. Think this is our 23rd attempt! If I get a smiley the day before my egg two days I will make dh do three days in a row!!! This better bloody work for us soon. Normally I'd be happy with once a week! Ha ha xx

yeah, but if you do it every other and even miss ov day, then theres a change? some people dont do it on ov day, just try what you feel happy with, and that doesn't cause too much stress if i get a successful, i hope it was formed by the weekend sex, the firt night was a 1 minute wonder, 2nd ok, 3rd and 4th cant be arsed, then teenager sex 5th and 6th xxxxx

 

[Lazydaisys]

I hope you get successful this time and galaxy, then mrs doddy and me and we can all just chill out and be happy on the baby forum. somebody on a thread was complaining their bump wasnt big enough i had to chip in with 'at least you have a bump.' i hope i dont get kicked of this site! lol
Dh is talking about a major holiday next year with our friends to America and I'm like hopefully we will be busy with a baby on the way or a new baby or a the very least in the middle of ivf. Crap having our life on hold. X

 

[Lazydaisys]

Sarah just been looking at your chart again. Do you stop bding after ov or just stop charting? Sorry to be nosey just wondering if was part of a theory? X
