Anyone LTTTC Number One?

[Razcox]

Woohoo for sleeping through Urch

Donor eggs would solve the problem but i wouldnt be able to get funding for it i dont think. The attitude of the NHS seems to be i can get pregnant naturally so should therefore just keep trying and hope one sticks!

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Oh Raz

I am annoyed as DH didn't want to play ball last night and it looks like I ovulated early this morning What a waste of clomid

 

[Sticky Beans]

Lol Urch! I wish I was dragging men back to my cave! Not sure DH would appreciate it though!

Hi all!
SB the caveman sounds good. Do u find u take longer to get everything ready. Let us know, u can be the guinea pig.
FF: I'm sorry that u feel you've missed the before OV window. I hope u get to catch it this pm. My DH always ends up feeling guilty in the tww if we've missed it.
Urchin: glad that ur turning a corner on the.sleep.
AFM: cd15 today. DH away tonight so we'll rest. If we manage it tomorrow we may well have completed SMEP for once!! Feeling upbeat. Considering drinking some pineapple juice for implantation over the next week. Will have to consult dr google!!

It's worth asking Raz - they were going to fund me one cycle with donor eggs... it was only because I turned 40 that we lost our funding.
So maybe use it as part of your appeal? 'If you are saying you won't fund me because my chances of an unaffected pregnancy are so low, then logically you must fund me for a cycle with DE instead....'

Lol Urch! I wish I was dragging men back to my cave! Not sure DH would appreciate it though!

lol yeah, I'm not sure Mr Urch would appreciate me doing that either

Oh bloody men! One job to do ....

Dr Google is a dangerous and slippery character MrsFX .... lol

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Me and Dr Google fall out reguarly as he tells me one thing and then five minutes later contradicts himself

Well we dtd early evening and to help 'push' the chaps up I inserted a soft cup. Got a bit of an odd look from DH when he asked why I was squeezing conceive plus into my cup and I told him it was chap food Logically I know that we have 24 hours from when the egg is released to have it fertilised but I have a sneaky suspicion that DH may have slow swimmers

Oh Raz

FF its rubbish when OH does not want to play ball, i do think some times they do not realise the short window us ladies have... You never know though hun some times i think i have ovulated and my mind plays tricks on me... might not be a waste uhun

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Thanks hun but temp dropped to the lowest point this morning and cramps started an hour or so after so that with the EWCM pretty much guarantees ovulation for me.

 

[Sticky Beans]

I must admit I have been toying with the idea of the 'turkey Baster method'! have mixed feelings but apparently that's how a lot of lesbians fall pregnant..... So I was thinking for the eves that DH doesn't want to play ball, either to tired or to Ill or aches from the gym I could just get him to do his thing into a sterile cup with a bit of preseed in then suck it up into a needless syringe and squirt it near my cervix. Am I mad for wanting to try this???? I consulted Dr google and there are so many success stories, obviously I'd rather BD the regular ways but if it fills in the gaps I'm thinking it might be worth it!!
What do you all think?

[Feisty Fidget]

Sticky if I could get my DH to do it in a cup then I would but he would see it as if he can't be bothered to have then he can't be bothered to deposit in a cup

I say if your DH is up for it then go for it

 

[urchin]

LOL - it always amazes me that the menfolk don't do all the reading that we do ... so I can really imagine the bewilderment on Mr Fidget's face as you lubed up the cup with a little picnic for the lads!

Sticky Beans - yups, turkey basters are a very common method of getting that BFP ... and as FF says, if Mr Beans will go for it, then I'd say absolutely!

AFM up at 3 again - oh well, it was nice to have one normal night's sleep!

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Oh Urch Sorry your 'normal' sleep was short lived Plus side you will be an expert at night feeds when the time comes

DH always asks me questions about why we are doing certain things fertility wise and by the look on his face when I answer I swear he thinks I make most of it up for a laugh

 

[Sticky Beans]

My DH knows quite a bit about fertility and my inner workings! It makes me laugh a little when he turns round and says things like 'remember u ovulated early last month so we better get at it' I suppose it's quite sweet, I think sometimes we forget that the men in all of this want that baby as much as we do.
Mr Beans is up for putting his swimmers in a cup if his knakered, he said it's never a problem to knock one out! - nice! Any excuse ay?! Lol
I need to go out and get myself a syringe now, I'll let you all know how we get on with it!

Happy Friday everyone!

[Razcox]

FF - Fingers crossed that the swimmers pull their 'fingers' out and get to that egg asap! Its so annoying when our OH's are not in the mood at the key time, after all its the only part they have to play in all this!

sticky - i say go for it if the oh is willing. As romatic and nice as it would be to DTD and get a BFP that way i think once we all reach the LTTTC stage we just want the end result now! Be sure to give yourself a treat after the basting though as its an important part of sperm transport

My DH used to be quite interested in the whole thing but he is a bit bored of it all now LOL.

Urch - Sorry you were up again, have you tried any herbal things to help you sleep or maybe some lavender on your pillow?

I will ask about the DE but its the opposite reason they are refusing funding, they say my chances of having an unaffected live birth are too high naturally to warranty the money being spent on PDG.

AFM - in the 2ww and just plodding along! Got a busy weekend ahead as its the first show of the season next weekend. Got to get all the camping gear cleaned and ready to go then bath the dogs and get them ready. Also got a couple of sketches i need to finish before then.

Hello to all you lovely ladies, seems there are quite a lot of you having a tough time, I hope you all start to get some good news soon, Sorry I have been a little quiet of late, no real reason probably because I am addicted to the Draw Something App, Well apart from that we are well on our way back into the buying/selling process as we have had an offer accepted on a 3 bed house and it was £13,000 cheaper than the 2 bed that fell through, so it has worked out for the best so we are very happy with that. Today was the very start of the actual IVF process, me and hubby have had our HIV and Hepititas test and I had my iron etc, then once the results are back we have to attend our Group Meeting, then once my surgery is done, We meet with out FS for our initial consultation and we get to have our planning appointment with our nurse How exciting, it really does happen so quickly on cloud nine right now xxx

 

[Feisty Fidget]

MrsHowley I am keeping it all crossed for you

 

[kcarey77]

MrsH- Congrats!

You ladies crack me up! I must say, the comment about DH not wanting to play ball made me giggle

I'm just patiently waiting for ovualtion to take place so we can try again. If I actually got a BFP naturally I'd probably pass out from shock. Has anyone tried TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine)? I'm interested in the herbal tampons, but they are so expensive!
It will take years to save up $13,000 for IVF

I may have already asked this question before, but I don't recall if anyone was familiar with it. Acupuncture, castor oil packs, etc. I'm desperate right now. I love wine and pineapples to I will definitely try that for implantation this cycle

Best of luck to all of you!

 

[MrsFX]

Great news mrshowey

Oh sorry - I got hold of the wrong end of the stick there!

How very gallant of him!

Well, you have to admit - some of the things we try are pretty bizarre!


MrsH - that all sounds good on the house front - fx it goes through this time
and the beginning of IVF - how very exciting!

 

[Feisty Fidget]

Kcarey as soon as we have our finances in check I will be booking in with an acupuncturist who specialises in Chinese medicine so will let you know how that pans out I am getting so desperate I don't think there isn't anything I wouldn't try/do if I was told it would result in a !
