Aphrodite...Conceiving Tigers in 2010 - 17 Graduates so far!

[Ladybird28]

Evening all, sorry been a bit quiet the last couple of days. Been feeling a bit ropey, think i may have some sort of sickness bug. I also seem to be having a bit of the blues at the moment. My sister in laws baby is due in 4 weeks and they found out on Friday it was a girl. I'm totally over the moon for them but at the same time I've started feeling so jealous that it's a girl and that I'm not pregnant. I don't know what's the matter with me, I just keep bursting into tears and I'm never normally like this. It didn't help when my mum kept asking if I was pregnant this aft when I told her I'd been feeling sick for days. Even though I assured her I wasn't she kept saying "are you sure".. Just what I needed! I know I'm so lucky to have two beautiful boys who I love to bits but to have a girl as well would make me so happy. But then I feel so bad and guilty for having these thoughts. Aarrgh what's wrong with me!!
Sorry for venting girls, I don't have anyone else to talk to bout this.

Tiger4me..sorry to hear it was a bfn, you've still got a good chance, I've got my fingers crossed for you.
Hibiscus07 your chart looks good to me, hope your temp stays up.
2016 did you say you had a fs appt tomorrow? My mind is useless at the mo. If you do then best of luck xxx

 

[2016]

Awwww Ladybird. Sorry you have been poorly Don't worry about being down, I get like that at the beginning of every cycle. And that is an especially hard time to find out about your SILs baby's gender. In a few days things will pick up for you and you can gear up for this cycle and get your own little beanie
Also mother's can say silly things sometimes. My lovely mum said a silly thing about my ectopic at the time which has been ringing in my ears ever since
And don't apologies for venting - that is what we are here for

You are quite right, I do have a FS appointment this morning. Feel nervous about it because he told me to go away before cos everything is fine Think he might be annoyed I have come back "uninvited". Also taking DHs semen analysis in.
Will let you all know what happens.

[Tiger4me]

Hi A-Team! Am feeling a bit more chirpy today after a crappy day as no AF woo hoo. Still a smidge of spotting but mainly after BM. Nausea in the morning is getting stronger too.

I hear you all on the stupid test lol (thank you) but now I'm banned from testing until Valentines Day because I chucked a sad but shhh, I will sneak one in tomorrow morning. Promise i won't get miserable until the fat lady sings.

It's a big day for us then tomorrow with Joli's and your appt 2016 GOOD LUCK LOVELIES (Helllloooo Joli - you got engaged in SA?! It gets better!) 2016 Wave those spermies around in front of the doc to pee him off and ask a million questions

Hey MommyMichele - 5 weeks woo hoo! So happy for you that you can say it x

Hibiscus, I stalked your temps this morning, looking good too hon

Hey Ladybird, like 2016 said, this is the place to vent. Your feelings are TOTALLY understandable and imho you need to honour them and it's good to get off your chest so you can concentrate on getting pregnant

Good vibes and baby dust to all the girls O'ing soon

I am waiting in the FS office right now. My appt was supposed to be at 10 but after waiting for a while I went and hassled the receptionist only for her to tell me my appt was cancelled! Wtf?
Apparently my docs did that and didn't even bloody tell me! Just as well I registered with another doc last week. Can't believe it! Well I can because NHS is crap and this os not the first time they've made a bugger up! Sorry for ranting but I have been waiting and worrying about this

 

[hibiscus07]

Oh Hibiscus, I meant to add that I've had lots of creamy CM too - never really stopped after OV. My fingers are so very crossed for you!! When is it time for you to test??

Tiger4me - I'm sorry about the BFN - its so disheartening - but as Hibiscus said its still early!

my cramps don't seem to be on either side, just kind of a weird pressure right above the pubic bone, plus general dull achy cramps all over my lower abs and lower back. this could be normal. trying not to get my hopes up.
I should test on 10 or 11 dpo. 11 dpo if I can wait! I have a feeling I won't be able to wait.

Thanks for the info re CM. Keeping my fingers crossed that creamy=good

 

[2016]

Arrived at the hospital at 9am for my 10am appointment and the receptionist told me to go through and wait.* By 10.30am I heard her say to another patient “you are his last patient for the day and he will see you in a minute”.* So I leapt up and queried this with her and she fumbled around for a bit and said “Computer says no” ie. My GP surgery has cancelled the appointment and never told me!* Idiots!* After much confusion they told me to wait some more and he would try see me.* Eventually at 11:15am he called me in but didn’t even want to sit down and talk properly.* He said the scan doesn’t lie and I must just learn to live with the pain or go on the pill again??!?!* *sigh** looks like me and the BBD just don’t see eye to eye.
Going to book an appointment with the new surgery and see what they say….although a part of me is inclined not to bother.* Even with a new referral it is going to take months to be seen by another specialist.
***
Got into work so late I am lucky I have a patient boss!* Better go catch up on work.

OMG that's soooo annoying! Just to get your hopes up and then be sent home.. I'm sorry

 

[hibiscus07]

Well, temp is up 0.27F today, which could be a good sign. 7 dpo today. Still have the dull achy cramps--woohoo! (it's weird to be happy about cramps haha)

 

[Devi#1]

Hi girls,

Just wanted to come in & shower good luck all over you all!!

 

[Britt11]

Good morning lovely ladies,
I am back in Canada now and home to my hubby after a long but glorious 8 days!! The flight last night was 7.5 hours yikes, but I slept the entire way on the red eye.
There is so much going on with me, but I'll leave that for a bit as i want to catch up with you guys.
Tiger4me- some promising symptoms, hopefully that BFP is right around the corner
2016- sorry for the lousy day, i cant believe what the run around they are giving you. So when he suggested the "scan doesnt lie" was he referring to your O date? i am confused, but hope you get some clear answers soon. Glad to see you bouncing back this cycle and on to hopefully getting a BFP soon.
Joli- sounds like you are having a wonderful time, when are you home and when is the IUI apt????
Hibiscus- sounds like things are really gearing up for you and some positive signs, hope this is your month hon.
Devi- happy 8 weeks!!!! wow, time flies!!
also hope all our graduates are feeling great and thanks for popping in.
look forward to getting to know the rest of the new girls on the thread.
as for me, well definitely a wierd week,... will update FF with the temps I have taken.
I will update more later, just getting settled onto my computer.

hugs,

 

[LittleAurora]

hey all!! hows it going? sorry to hear some of you being messed around!

I cant beleive its valentines soon!!! whoo hoo!!

 

[Ladybird28]

well the good news is im feeling better today ladies and far more my usual self than I have been lately so onwards with this cycle it is!

2016 - I cant believe they messed you around so much this morning and you had to then put up with the drivel that he did give you when you eventually saw him. Thats the trouble with NHS its like a lottery isnt it, some people find they have wonderful supportive doctors who listen to you and others are stuck with miserable buggers who really arent interested. You deserve better than him hun, see if you can insist on seeing someone more positive.
Britt - nice to meet you hun, you must be tired after such a long flight but you must be pleased to be back with hubby in time for valentines.

hey aurora, nice to meet you too... a fellow biker I see! Congrats on the bfp! Me and DH are bike demons too, we have a zx10r which we lurve but cause of this rotten weather it hasnt been out of the garage for months

So what are we all doing for Valentines this year..anyone doing anything special or are you just going to cosy up with DH and have a quiet one?

 

[Joli]

Hi Ladies!

2016 - first I have to say WTF! How terrible for the doc to put you through that - its one thing to mess you around with appointment time, but quite another to be so dismissive! What did he mean by "go back on the pill"?! In any case, that's just really insensitive. I really hope you are able to find someone new and that it doesn't end up taking 6 months...

Tiger4me, your symptoms sound awesome!! I really hope there' some good news soon!

Ladybird - DH and I are going to stay overnight at a wine estate which has a cheetah outreach programme for Valentines. I love cheetahs, and you get to pet the little cubs! Can't wait! How about you?

Britt - welcome back!!!! I bet you're all tanned and relaxed! What did you get up to in sunny Dominican?

I met my FS today, he seems really good! We did a scan, and follies are still going slowly but he said not to worry, and that they will get there eventually! I have 2 follies on the left, about 14mm and 12mm...back for another scan on Wed, and he is estimating that we will do the IUI on Fri or Sat! I an so excited! We went to Robbin Island today (where Nelson Mandela was imprisioned for 18 years), which was amazing....but my day was topped off by DH and I watching the cutest, happiest little baby girl I have ever seen! She was around 9 or 10 months, and couldn't stop smiling, giggling and gurgling all day. So adorable, and so made me ache inside. I hope we all get out BFPs soon! X

 

[2016]

When he said "the scan doesnt lie" he meant that I ovd 2-3 days after the scan....which would be CD14-15. Ridiculous if you look at my chart. He said the scan would also show up issues like PCOS and endo...and I agree the scan was right and I don't have that - but not about the ov.

He didnt specifically say go on the pill but he wants me to go on progesterone supplements for 2 months which willl prevent ovulation and "quieten down my ovaries". In my mind that is very similar to the dreaded progesterone only pill I was on as contraception! He said, well if you don't want to do that then the pain is not so bad.
I am half temped though to accept the progesterone suppositories because they are the same ones given to ppl with LPD/low progesterone...and then just take them after ov and see what happens. Risky I know, maybe not a good idea, but I am beginning to feel desperate again.
DHs SA results will be back tomorrow so I hope that is better news than I have had this week so far
Joli...14mm and 12mm is pretty good folly size - you are nearly there! So pleased the FS was good to you. Can I come see him too? Keep us updated and we will all be rooting for you at the end of this week!

 

[Tiger4me]

Morning/Evening girls,

2016, I can't believe how that Dr treated you either!!! My gosh so rude. I wouldn't want to deal with him either. Is there any way you can get around the wait for another one?

Devi, thanks for popping in with all that baby dust - woo hoo. And good luck for your first scan in 2days, you must be excited! x

Hi LittleAurora, we're going to a moonlight cinema on the Sat night and then a music concert all day on V.Day, can't wait.

Joli, fx'd with you eggies xxxxx. Aw that little girl sounded gorgeous, and your V.Day sounds awesome too!

Britt welcome back hon. Looking forward to your update.

Hibiscus, woo hoo on your temps. I felt weird to be glad to be nauseus too lol.

Ladybird, glad to hear your spirits are back up xo

AFM, feel totally normal today. Had a bad headache all day/night yesterday then AF normally shows, but nothing yet. Fx'd, but sneaky BFN this morning. Waiting, waiting...

 

[Tiger4me]

Hey I think this is a first, replying after my own post. Everyone must be busy bees getting pregnant - good!

Well, no AF yet, felt pretty normal today. Minor pains/cramping am but nothing, or gas lol. Will test again in 2 days, Thurs, if I'm still late - today could be 12 or 14dpo.

2016, I looked at your chart and that is crazy what the dr says you o'd on Cd 14-15 - even I can see that and I've only been charting a month I'm sorry the way he treated you, it's just wrong. I hope you can change dr's soon as.

 

[2016]

Thanks Tiger4me...thing is I have to go back to my gp and get referred again then back on the 2 month waiting list to see another specialist. Almost not worth the bother but I will go then just forget about it for a while. I am liking the relaxed ttc approach so fat!

 

[hibiscus07]

Morning, all-

Thanks to the grads for checking in on us!
2016--relaxed TTC is the way to go. I wish I could do it. Although, I will say I'm feeling pretty relaxed right now. Normally, I would test on 8 dpo for no reason and then get my hopes shattered. I really will wait til 10-11 dpo this month
Britt and Tiger4me--both of your temps are looking great! Fingers crossed for you.

Joli--Woohoo re the follicles! Good luck with IUI. I hope it goes according to schedule.

As for me today, still having the weird pressure/cramps. I'm not sure what to think of it. I was apparently having cramps on previous non-BFP cycles, as well. The 2 cycles where I did get my BFP, I felt sure that I was pregnant. This time around, I don't have that feeling. No real boob pain to report, just the cramps and occasional nausea. Temp is still fine, down a little from yesterday's peak. Maybe it will go back up tomorrow.

 

[Britt11]

Hello ladies,
well in the swing of things now. Went to bed at 8pm last night as i was sooo drained, up bright and early this morning.
so great to hear your update Hibiscus, i have fx'd that the cramping is a good thing, (I have heard that from several women who got Bfp's) temps are high and looking good.
Tiger4me- so are you late then?? thats awesome, no more spotting?? hoping this is it for you.
2016- I am hoping that you are able to find a new FS or maybe your current one starts paying attention, i mean no one is more in tune with our bodies than ourselves!! I am hoping the pain goes away for you soon and you get a big fat BFP!!
Joli- ohhh, the follies have woken up!!!! yeah!! i really hope IUI works for you this cycle, like i mentioned before, a couple friends of mine have had great experiences.

Nice to meet you as well Ladybird, i look forward to reading your posts and sharing the journey.
sorry I know i have missed others, but i will get in the swing again soon.

As for me- I had cramping (serious cramping) at 3, 4 and 5dpo to the point where i had a couple of drinks to numb it lol.. but nothing since...so not sure if thats a good thing.
Girls, can someone please look at my chart and give me their advice. I am soo confused, here is the heartbreaking part. I got a bfp yesterday on a pink preg test, and not even a faint line a very good line but dont get too excited, it was an error- how does that happen, so heartbroken!!!! I already told DH too....so not good. Anyway, decided to take another one last night and totally negative so waited a few hours and another one- still nothing!! so when I woke up this morning, I took the same test and a FRER and totally negative. so yesterdays was a mistake, how cruel. I should take a pic and show you guys, its still on there, 24 hours later....agghhh
I really have no other symptoms except a wicked cold but I was in the Dominican in a hotel room with someone who was sick, so thats likely nothing.
Oh, no spotting at all this cycle, unlike the last 2 cycles. Help girls, this one is so ohard.

Oh no! That's so upsetting. I wonder what the heck happened! Maybe it wasn't a fluke and that one test was super sensitive. Try again in another day. It's great that you have no spotting
