anyone want a ttc#1 buddy?

[ticktock]

hee hee horny goat weed, just put it in a different pot and tell him its something else lol

Dan-o, am so hoping its just abit of implantation spotting or breakthrough bleeding, let us know what the epu say tomorrow x

Kittycat, have you tried using cheapy opks to see if they differ from the cbfm? As you have fairly regular cycles I would be surprised of you weren't ov'ing

 

[KittyCat82]

I know, I'm so embaressed! If I could some how disguise it in chocolate..or beer, it would probably work! Why would you want horny goats anyway??!! Yes someone on the cbfm thread suggested opk's and temping. Just spend so much money on fm test sticks..but if it gets me up the duff it's worth it lol! My dr last time said she thought I was ok cos my periods are so regular so I'll check again about that on wed-I have a list! The dr is gonna love me!! If no joy this cycle, think I'll go all out with everything next month!! Someone else we know has just 'announced' Im like yay..grr...! They were trying for while too tho I think x

 

[KittyCat82]

Ps sorry, would having sore boobs mean I am ovulating? Do you have to ovulate to get that raise in progesterone? I understand that's what causes the temp raise? X

 

[ticktock]

i normally get kinda sore boobs around ovulation time if thats any help?

 

[dan-o]

I reckon you probably are ovulating kitty, especially if you get sore boobs.
Maybe ask your doctor for some CD21 bloods to set your mind at rest?

 

[KittyCat82]

Morning! Dan-o I see you status-is this definate then? I'm so sorry hun..are the dr's going to look into things a bit more for you now? Well no peak this am grrr....I will actually be cd21 tomorrow when I see dr, but I presume they wouldnt take bloods there..I looked at my stick this am and couldnt even see a line on it-I dont normally look at them to be honest, but notice the lines sometimes-it didnt even look like the pee had soaked down very far (tmi) do you think I am not doing it right?! I follow the instructions...anyway gonna keep bding eod just in case x

 

[KittyCat82]

Hi girls, me again! I am a bit chat happy today but just learned something interesting about the cbfm sticks...apparently one side is non absorbant so if you dont hold it in stream properly it wont absorb enough pee to give reading-app a few girls have had this problem so changed to dipping in cup for 15 seconds which seems to sort it out! So I will be dipping from next month!! X

 

[dan-o]

I went to the EPU this morning, they scanned me and took some bloods. More bloods to be drawn on thursday.
Diagnoisis is inconclusive until they get the bloods back, as they think theres a tiny sac still in utero, but I know I'm miscarrying, it just hasn't come away yet.

They are going to monitor my HCG until it goes back to normal this time, as last time I miscarried it was a bit of a nightmare.

Hoping this time it is a normal MC, so we can get back to TTC right away!

 

[KittyCat82]

So sorry to hear that hun. I suppose wait and see. At least you seem positivewith the getting on to the next cycle although you must be terribly sad, like I said, will dr do more for you now with ttc? X

 

[dan-o]

My bloods have confirmed, it definitely a loss.
In fact I think the rest has come away now, I've passed lots of clots and stringy stuff.
I never noticed the sac, but it was so small I probably missed it.

Yes I'm devastated to have failed, yet again.

I'm not sure what they will do now, my GP wants to see me next week.
In the meantime I am having regular bloods to track my HCG back to negative xx

 

[ticktock]

oh dan-o, I do feel for you, you haven't failed in anything, its nothing you can control at all. You'll get there one day I'm sure and will be a great Mum!


oh didn't know that kittycat, I pee on it but always kinda sideways so both sides get wet! But will bear it in mind. so maybe its been missing your peak?

 

[KittyCat82]

Morning girls, dan-o ditto what ticktock said you have not failed in anything...I know I feel like I fail every month but it will happen for all of us I'm sure. Gotta be quick but I got my eggy this morning, whoop! Wasn't going to bother bding last night as had had the in laws round and was feeling bit down with it all-relieved that we did now! Will let you know how get on at dr's. Will def be dipping from now on! X

 

[dan-o]

Ohh well done kitty! Good luck in catching that egg this month, get busy!!!!!

 

[ticktock]

yey glad you got that peak! I'm day 12 and still low, think will be a late ov again this month. Do you think oving around day 19/20 means the egg being produced is ok?

 

[dan-o]

I would have thought so ticktock, I think it's only early ov which produces lower quality eggs

Hope you get your peak soon hun! xx

 

[ticktock]

thanks dan-o how are you today?

 

[dan-o]

Feeling a lot better thanks, think I passed most of the MC all in one day, it's just like a grotty AF today.
Still very tearful, but I guess the sadness will pass once we start trying again xxx

 

[DaretoDream]

dan-o i'm so very sorry! i'm on vacation so i haven't been able to check in much but i'm so sorry that you guys didn't get it this time. but everyone is right- it's not a failure! You can't think like that, please don't. We're all on this twisty road together- and we're all here for you!

 

[KittyCat82]

Hi girls-hope all ok. Ticktock, I didnt realise that if you ov'd early or late it could have an effect on the egg produced?

Well I went to Dr last night-think word of the day was 'normal'! Cycle length-normal, amount of time ttc-nomal, when I ov-normal, sore boobs after ov-normal...however I suppose this is all interpreted as a good thing i.e. things are supposedly doing what they should. He said 7 months is not actually that long ttc and he wouldnt be in the slightest bit concerned till we had been dtd 3-4 a week for 12 months-which is what I expected. He was really nice about it tho and suggested to put my mind at rest I get bloods cd5 and cd22-25 to check I am ovulating and a general 'MOT' which I intend to do next month (getting time off work may be little tricky but hey ho) the sore boobs thing he said if anything was a good sign-like you said dan-o! So for now I am feeling a bit more reassured. See how we get on next month. If there is a problem he said we can deal with it, so I guess if there is we have jumped the queue a little..when I was leaving he just said "it will happen you know..." which I thought was quite nice too. Anyway was a bit of a mission getting hubby to dtd last night "I am not a performing monkey you know"! Does anyone else have this problem? I appreciate that as I keep getting so many highs by the time peak comes we have bd 4 out of 7 days but when I explained about the long awaited peak he was fine. I really dont want it to be all about baby making but at the same time you can only get pg for a few days a month..I just dont want to get stressed about that side of it but can see it happening if it goes on for months...I dont think I will pursuade him tonight and tbh I think I have a bit of cystitis coming on-tick tock do you try dtd both peaks? but will try tomorrow as its Friday!! x

 

[ticktock]

glad the doc visit went well and he seems like a nice understanding doctor which makes a change!

yeh I actually got told last night by other half 'I'm not just a baby making machine' and he does feel the pressure sometimes and can affect his 'performance' so we're trying to be more relaxed about everything.

tbh we've rarely dtd on both peaks as normally have a few days of highs so by then need a bit of a break lol and tmi I can get quite sore, I've got sensitive skin and it extends down there too! I sometimes wonder if its cystitis, whats the symptoms?

sometimes it does almost feel like a chore and I mean that in nicest possible way but around my fertile time my main aim is to get preggers and I wanna make the most of those few days where he still seems to think you can pregnant anytime of the month! AGH men eh!

I'm still low on my cbfm and have a sneaky suspicion its suddenly gonna jump to peak I've started getting ewcm type stuff which means ov is gonna be in 3-4 days so better get bd'ing no matter what the cbfm says!

have just dtd but oh was nackered, was taking ages and erm, slipped out at the vital moment so most of the little soldiers didn't make it up there lol so hopefully will be more successful to catch the eggy next time!

dan-o, hope you taking care of yourself and that you're gearing up for your next cycle
