Aussies trying to get duffered aged 20+ !!!

[Lisasmith]

Nausea is hitting me now. Bloated as hell and feel like I've been punched in the boob! Lol

I have to tell you my aunts story. Her and my uncle tried for 8 whole years to have a baby. All the drugs, all the tests etc. they booked in to begin the Ivf journey and next thing they know.. Pregnant. No drugs no nothing! They had 3 babies in 3 years and she ended up getting her tubes tied!

My GP said she really dislikes these stories because the reality is that if you haven't conceived after 12 months then you probably need some sort of diagnostics and/or assistance of some type. These stories are lovely, but they are a small percentage and many, many people keep persisting when in fact they should be seeking specialist advice. Lucky aunty, Smithy! I would be really happy with just one sticky BFP, hopefully sooner than the next 8 years!!!

I can understand why she would dislike those stories. My aunt had fertility treatment after 18 months of trying, she was on clomid and a few other things for years but never had the funds for IVF until they hit that 8 year mark. They took a break from clomid for 6 months before they began the Ivf specialist appointments. It's entirely possible that those years on clomid 'fixed' her up for lack of a better term.

Yeah! I agree they can be unhelpful sometimes giving people false hope. Although I have friends who tried for 2years, unexplained infertility, both perfect in fertile sense. They got pregnant on their 25th cycle...sometimes it just takes longer for unknown reasons!
I can imagine for those that don't believe in God it's super frustrating. For me I believe God has a plan for everyone's life so it's easier to accept that sometimes things take longer or life doesnt go the way we want and label it as "Gods plan" I find that comforting, but that's obviously a personal thing.

Nana & kiwi...I really feel for you both! Really hope you both gets your BFP's soon!

True LLPM, faith can be a real balm, I think. Hubby is buddhist and a former monk and therefore he believes major life events are related to behaviour in your previous lives, as well as the choices you make in this life. He sees most major events as karmic. So thus he has drawn great comfort from his belief when we've not conceived, as he feels like there is a grand(er) plan out there.

Nice chart there maddy!

Thanks Cossi. I must admit I normally have textbook lovely charts and then on CD27 or 28 my temp drops dramatically and the witch arrives on day 28. I don't expect this month to be any different, but this is our final TTC month before seeing the Fertility Specialist in 9 days time, so I'm not too concerned.

 

[Maddy40]

please ladies what day do you think i ovulated.

Wow tough one Pam. If it were me I would say CD15 not only because of the temps but the CM too. But CD19 looks more likely as the first of several little temp jumps.

Which way do you temp? Vag or oral? I found vag heaps better than oral in terms of consistency, I guess I was doing it wrong when I had it in my mouth cos I found my temp jumped all over the shop, vag there's less variation

Hey Lainey, how you feeling? How's your man adjusting with the idea of daddy-dom?

AFM, I'm ploughing through piles of laundry and unpacking. The cat will be back from the cattery on Sunday arvo and DH will be back on Sunday too.....so life is getting back to normal for us.

9 days until we see the Fertility Specialist

 

[Lisasmith]

Best of luck at the appointment, Maddy xx

 

[Newbie32]

Maddy fx that by the time you get to see them they are just confirming you're duffered! X

Night girls, early ride for me xx

 

[Pauls_angel]

Hi all - sorry I've been Mia yesterday arvo and today! Have been really down and can't seem to stop crying! Am still blaming AF - now on day 12 of the heaviest AF I've ever had and feeling extra tired and moody as a result! Put on another kg too stupid thyroid! Less than a week til I see my doc now though so am using that as my thing to look forward too - really hoping he will start me on my meds that day and that I'll be back to ttc shortly after!

Sasha I still haven't worked out what your surprise will be but I know I'll think of something! Nice to have you back online though!

Lovely to have you back Maddy! I missed you!

Nice to see you on too kiwi and amber! Have been missing you too!

Hi to everyone else! Great to hear about all the plans of attack abs and cossi!

X

 

[Rosie_PA]

Oh Angel, you poor thing! Your doc needs to get your thyroid levels back to normal so this non-sense is behind you! Feel better soon!

Nana, hope you have a great ride today! I've missed you!! Xx

Pammy- I agree CD 19!

Maddy- chart looks great, I was due to have my HSG this month to make sure tubes were open and they told me to call as soon as AF came to schedule it so I was actually excited for AF to finally get started on testing, and then I get the best test result of all!!! Fx'd the same for you Hun!!

Kiwi- glad you are starting to feel better! Xx

Lucy- congrats on passing 8 weeks!!!

Hi Cossi, Abby, Lainey, and Lisa(s)- hope you ladies have a great day!! Xx

Does anyone know why u can't wear nail polish if going into surgery? I have gel nails on that are polished but in my notes for hospital it says remove all jewellery (there goes my belly ring ) and nail polish. Not sure how it would effect anything?

 

[kiwipauagirl]

Mum2q - u have gone from my screen now and been replaced by LLPM two beautiful daughters. Will take a picture tonight and attach it do u can see I am not going crazy lol

 

[Mum 2 Quigley]

Hahaha kiwi, crazy computer! The nail polish would Bevin case anything chips off and gets inside you, would cause a major infection I'd imagine! Glad you can see a light there! I totally agree with you, doesn't matter how you get pregnant, just that you are. Go get that headache fixed! (so to speak) xx

Cossi, do glad you feel that way, you're already half way there cos you didn't pee on anything last time! That's a big win in my books! can't wait til you have good news! I have thrown up every morning since BFP but think its a coincidence. I have a bit if a cough & I'm a bit of a spewer anyway. I have been starting to feel a bit queasy though, still not sure if ms or in my head yet.

Smithy, that's a great story! I see what maddy means, but I think it's beautiful to hear positive stories for people!! X

Angel, I hope your doctor has all the answers for you next week, it can't happen quick enough!! X by the way, I think I owe my BFP to you, cos this cycle you told me to start bd earlier to ensure I got ov just in case, and I ovd about 10 days early! Thanks for your good advice!!

Pammy, I would say cd 19 at a guess.

Nana, if you experiment with charting this month, you may find a good balance of what works for you! I think when you have a chance to de stress after you leave work, you will be in a good place to conceive! Just Wing it this month. I bet you catch the eggy cos you're thinking you won't! If not, I think next month is where your life falls into place!!! Glad dh is ok with sa!

Maddy, so good you have your appointment so soon! It will be great to get started!

Looneypip, how are you hun?

Think I remembered everyone- I hope so!!!

Love you all, have a great day! Xx

I tried to attach the picture on here of my screen with LLPMs daughters but the file is too large. Will attach it to facebook so you can see it. Really weird. Last week I had MUM2Qs little squiggle baby. I wonder who will get the lucky dip next week LOL
