Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[ashknowsbest]

VJ - Never mind about me asking how many DPO you were, I saw that you're 3 DPO! Well, I'm not far behind so we are so in this together! I'm not sure if cramping is a good sign but I'm sure it's not bad so FX'd for you!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Thanks girls for all of the support, you're all so sweet and it is really nice to have you girls to talk to!

Hey All

Welcome to the newbies! you will love this thread!!

Ash & VJ you can help each other through the 2ww hope you both get BFP!!

AFM - Tests all done today the only thing they said is my BMI is 19.4 and if it drops below 19 they wont do the treatment so i am going to eat lots and lots of food so i dont!

OH is going in on Monday 12th for his two tests then we wait, they said once we have been seen by specialist there is no waiting list ! yey! so we just have to wait for appointment after 12th, they said my tubes look all good to go so just need to see what OH morphology will be like after his vits ive been giving him! ha ha

Best of luck in your challange FF

Lucy xx

Thanks MrsHowley, 112 is actually my goal weight too

 

[urchin]

That's great news Ash - I'm rooting for you chikkie - the next 2 weeks are going to seem like forever ... have they told you what your testing date is??

Hello and welcome lexi - jump straight in, we're very friendly in here xx

best of luck FF with your 9 week challenge - keep us up to date with how you're getting on x

Waves hellooooo to MrsH&FX and VJ

AFM I was back at work today and honestly don't know how I got to the end of the day without a nap

 

[ashknowsbest]

Thanks Urchin! All they told me when I left is that I have to go back Monday for post ovulation blood work, I suppose they're testing my progesterone. I decided that I'll be testing March 17th or 18th, if I can wait that long! I might do a pregnancy test just to see the line since I've never been able to see a second line! I'm happy you were able to get through your work day! It seems crazy how tired a woman gets when she's expecting! I can't wait to experience every side effect though! Lol. Sounds crazy but I want to feel pregnant so bad!

 

[lucylou7]

how you feeling now Urch? apart from the lack of sleep ? any other symptoms yet? Lucy xx

 

[urchin]

makes perfect sense to me Ash ... I even don't mind the ms - because it proves that my hormones are doing the right things!

Lucy - so far my symptoms look like this:
am ridiculously tired
my tits are veined like stilton and very sore
I have a very bloated belly
and I have wicked ms!

 

[ashknowsbest]

All of those symptoms sound great and I can't wait to have them! =D

I must admit, i agree with Ash cant wait to share those symptoms too! The sleep one i would like to pass though as i am rubbish now with no sleep! ha ha x

Happy 9-week olive Urch!!!

 

[vjpfeif]

VJ - how many dpo are you ? I hope I can make it through. Lol. I'm scared it will end in a bfn but I'm trying very hard to stay positive ?

Ash you have to stay positive. Keep your head up. I found out yesterday as i was tearing into guacomole that avocados actually help implantation. To my surprise i was quite excited as i love guac. Just thought i would share that. Pineapple is good as well.

Afm now I am coming down with a cold. Is this normal? I hope it doesnt affect anything.

 

[urchin]

The tiredness is a killer - especially as it seems to come with wakefulness at 2am!

I forgot to take my phone to work yesterday, and came home to a message from my midwife - so I shall have to give a ring today to get my first appointment booked in
I do like saying 'my midwife' - My midwife yaaaaaaaaay!

 

[ashknowsbest]

I am pretty positive surprisingly I'm sure I will have a couple rough days. I like guacamole too but not straight avacados!! And I loooooove pineapple . I heard that pineapple isn't good after a certain point though. I also heard that coming down with cold like symptoms could be a sign of pregnancy but you're 3 dpo so I don't know of it would show up that early but I have my fingers crossed for you.

Urchin - yay for your midwife appointment

 

[purple_hope]

Hi girls, sorry I have been away for a bit. My sister-in-law just had a precious little baby girl! The precious bundle fell asleep in my arms for hours ... babies are just so wonderful. It's so true that we LTTCers love babies, it's the pregnant ladies that we have a hard time with. But not you urchin, you are one of us and we love you.

Lots of to you ash and vjp! And I also heard that colds help lower the immune system which helps the spermies and implantation! =)

MrsH I believe we were counting down with you for you appt. Where are we with the countdown? How many more days?

Welcome to the newbies lian and lexi :wave: Good luck girls!

AFM, showed up Sunday. This was my last cycle of hope before intervening with treatment, so it's bitter sweet I suppose. I called my FS last night on CD1 and will be starting Clomid+IUI this month. *Sigh*. I will be monitored this cycle while on Clomid, and I go tomorrow morning CD3 for bloods, ultrasound and meds. Room for one more ash and vjp?

 

[urchin]

Thankyou purple - you're a lovely!

So, another one for Team IUI - looks like it's gonna be a busy month ... go follies!

 

[greekgirl]

hey. goodmorning. i have missed a lot haven't i? well, i am sick, feverish, coughing sneezing headachy... i sound like a nyquil commercial from the 90's.
we also tried while i had a fever- we tried not to kiss- SO HARD. it was funny though... vjpfeif i hope both our immune systems being down will help them spermies finally find their way... i was affraid that all the coughing would scare them off.

sorry i am not updated as my head hurts and i feel a little dizzy so i wish everyone the best.
i will try the avocado thing. we bought two nice avocados - they grow in crete.
fingers crossed ash.

and urch yay for having a midwife! send some baby dust this way!

 

[greekgirl]

purple hope congrats on the new baby in the family. old greek women believe it to be lucky to hold a baby in your arms. sorry the witch got you.

girls again- i only read the last page.
have a great tuesday.

 

[gilmore85]

FX cross vj and ash and good luck with the 9 week challenge Danielle!

Well AFM 3 weeks until my first appointment and temp rise this morning so hoping I ovulated yesterday xx

 

[lian_83]

ash been seeing u around BnB for quite some time now. It's good that u finally have a clear shot at this with the IUI. Your DH's numbers are great! I also heard about pineapple for implantation but make sure u don't eat too much as it is quite acidic, and also the best part is the core because it has the bromelain.

Sorry, I don't know most people here yet, but it's encouraging that Urchin has successfully conceived and is almost done with her 1st trim. How I wish more LTTCers would soon follow her tracks.

Purple, I know exactly what u mean about us loving babies but dreading our super-fertile friends. I'm so sorry that the witch got u but at least u are moving in the right direction. My previous is my first medicated one and I actually felt more confident and I eased up on the OPKs and temping because the nurses are doing everything for me, so it has some advantages, it was unfortunate that it ended with a

greek, i heard that a naff immune system is proven to help the and with implantation. I swear if only there's a non-invasive and natural way to quiet down my system just for several days then I'd go for that.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. As you can tell from my ticker, I have been TTC for 3 years now and NEVER ever seen a real in my entire life. I had a polyp removed last January, which my FS said was acting like a natural IUD. I guess I was just so stupid to focus on my PCOS symptoms that I have forgotten about the actual mechanical problems of my uterus so that's why it took almost 3 years to get that b*atch out! Now, I'm hoping that with the polyp gone and me ovulating regularly will actually translate to me getting pg.
