Anyone struggling to get baby number 2??

[Button#]

That's a brilliant idea Mrs W, I'm definitely going to do that.

Glad you're feeling positive, I'm going to do SMEP again as well next cycle but I'm also going to get some conceive plus and have a go at temping. I may stop the B50 complex as I'm worried it delayed OV.

Good morning, ladies

Hi scottish. Welcome!

Good news from me today. I went and had an ultrasound of my ovaries and there are no growing follicles yet for this cycle. So I will get to start my injections today. So curious to see what my body will do with the stronger fertility meds. Very hopeful that this will be the boost we need to get another little one! Doctor is hopeful and thinks meds are a good idea for me right now. I'm "old", a cancer survivor, and had to take chemo meds, all of which decrease egg quantity and quality. I know there's got to be one good egg left in there!!

Emily was extra sweet last night. I tucked her in bed and she sat up to give me a hug and told me she loved me "this much!". This morning she said, "don't forget I want a little sister". I told her that I don't know if God will send us another baby. She said, "If God does send us a baby we will be so lucky!". I love my daughter so much!

She is so precious! That's good news about starting injections straight away. I really hope it works for you.

Hi girls thanks for the welcome hope you don't mind but I'll be following you all. Xx

Oh slg that is so lovely, your daughter is so cute and says the sweetest things! My daughter today said to our cat, 'busta, do one!' Oops. Need to be nicer to the cat I think! Bless her.

Well that's great news you get to start your fertility meds this cycle, so what happens next, you just take the injections and dtd as usual? Ill be keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you slg, you really deserve your rainbow baby after all you've been through. My male friend who has a grade 3 cancerous brain tumour and about to have chemo and radio froze his sperm this week (he's 26) as the treatment will make him infertile. I'm praying he gets to use them. Medicine is amazing these days and improving every day.

My acupuncture today was great and since I'm about to ovulate I'm now not seeing him for 3 weeks which will be the start of my next cycle. He's doing 5 point acu on me rather than traditional, anyone else have this? I'm between fire and earth and he usually treats me with fire. Last time and today he did earth and I found it very very calming and relaxing. I felt like I'd had a glass of wine!

It's been a beautiful day weather wise here today and I'm feeling in a really good place.

W, I'm so sorry about your friend. He is so young to have to deal with such serious cancer! I am glad he froze his sperm and I hope that he gets to put them to good use in future.

I take an injection and a pill every day. On Wed. they will do another ultrasound to see how my ovaries are doing, i.e. how many follicles are growing. They will look every other day or so after that until the follicles are big enough. Then I take another shot to release the eggs and we DTD a couple times after that just as if I had gotten a positive OPK. Then we cross our fingers for the longest tww ever.

I'm glad you had a good acupuncture session. Sometimes I come out feeling like I had wine too I'm not familiar with 5 point. My needles usually go in my feet, lower arms, tummy, and forehead.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Thanks slg. Yes he is young isn't he. He's a work friend, started having fits in his sleep at the end of last year, then they found a brain tumour and after removing it they said it was a serious cancer and gave him 5 years but I believe he still has a good chance of much longer. Oddly enough my work friend sitting the other side also has cancer and both are being treated at the royal marsden, best cancer hospital here.

That's great they you will be monitors so closely and will know when your egg is released. How many medicated cycles would you do if this one doesn't work? Can they do iui or ivf in the future if this doesn't work? I really hope it does though!! Do they tell you how often to dtd or leave you to it?!!

I'm doing smep this month and loving it. It's actually making me want to dtd more often as I'm feeling so horny!

 

[Button#]

Morning ladies, I'm out, AF got me today. I'm doing SMEP again this months Mrs W. I agree it's a fun way to TTC.

Hmm now what shall I buy for my I'm not pregnant pressie?

 

[Mrs W 11]

Sorry af got you button. Have fun choosing your present!! X

 

[Button#]

I may be taking this not pregnant present too far, I'm shopping for a laptop!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Ha ha! Lets hope you're pregnant soon before you go bankrupt ;-)

 

[slg76]

lol! Way to go big button!

 

[Button#]

Oops I bought one!

I can justify it (honestly I can!) my computer's really old and I was going to get a new one but put it on hold when I got pregnant because I would have had to buy a double pushchair. Because of the miscarriage there will be a bigger age gap and I'm pretty sure I'll get away with keeping my BJCM (yay!) and getting a buggy board and/or using a sling.

At least that's what I've told OH...

 

[babyjan]

Yaay for the laptop button lol!

Hey all, I've been sort of quite as I've been really poorly from Monday, caught a cold, which turned into ear infection and possible tonsillitis, I was struggling to swallow and my whole body was in pain! I was prescribed antibiotics but I've avoided them and I'm really happy I've been able to feel better without them, I really don't want to keep taking them, I was just on amoxicillin two weeks ago for wisdom tooth infection! Plus she prescribed one that I'm not sure is ok to take when ttc.

Anyways that's enough from me, hope your all well x

 

[Mrs W 11]

Sorry you've been poorly baby jan. hope you're feeling better soon.

So I did an opk tonight and it was very faint. Bit odd as last cycle my positive was 48 hours before I ovulated and I'm due to ovulate Thursday so I expected a line. Oh well, I'm feeling so chilled this cycle. The weather helps. Pass the wine!!

 

[Button#]

Poor you BabyJan, I used to get tonsillitis a lot. It's horrible.

 

[brunettebimbo]

Button what a brilliant present!

Babyjan I struggled a lot with tonsillitis as a kid, I had mine removed in my early teens. Hope you feel better soon!

 

[celine]

Button i love the way your mind works! I was thinking maybe a bittle lf wine but indeed a laptop is waybetter!

 

[Mrs W 11]

Hmmm so I'm confused today. I'm cd16 and still only have very faint lines on my opks. I should ovulate on Thursday, cd19 so was hoping I'd get my pos opk today or tomorrow but with such a faint line I doubt that's happening. I'm worried I either ovulated early and missed it (unlikely but I did ov on cd14 2 cycles ago) or I'm going to ov late.

I've been so relaxed I haven't been temping and not gone overboard with opks, but now I am confused. I'm going to take my temp tomorrow and see if its high or still low.

Man. I hate ttc. I'm so fed up of it. I just want to be pregnant now. I know we all do

 

[Mrs W 11]

Ps,munchkin, I hope that you are ok
