CBFM Buddy

[hopefulhoney]

Its a long story -last visit my doc suggested a fertility specialist and I told him someone recommended one to me. They sent through a referral and I haven't heard a word from them. Then I found out that it was a gynae NOT a fertility specialist so I called today to ask them to go ahead with sending through a referral to a Fertility Specialist.

She obviously thought I was trying to trick her into sending a referral without my doctor's permission. She was a little snippy and said I have to come in for an appointment. Also, I told her that the OBGYN secretary said they accept patients according to severity and I hadn't heard back. I said I assume it's because I'm young (27) and I'm sure there are people with more serious cases than me. She told me I shouldn't "assume anything" and that basically I shouldn't put words in the OBGYN's mouth. She was just really annoyed.

I think they forget how heart-breaking and stressful this is. TTC for 1 year 2 months now. I am not an impatient newly-wed who just wants to get pregnant because I want maximum leave or something!! SORRY to rant ladies!

PS: Turns out my CBFM is not incorrect... my Math is Always knew I should have learned my 7 times tables properly in Grade 4. Ha ha ha!

I am gonna struggle not to test tomorrow, I am desperate to. Trying to hold out until Thursday...

Lolly, it sounds like you have long cycles too... have you been for any testing or had a diagnosis? I am on CD41 today and could very well not be pregnant... I HATE long cycles. I feel like I have to wait FOREVER to try again.

Hopeful it must be so hard not to test! I can't imagine,

ATM cd15 and still high, did have quite a substantial temp drop this morning, well over a whole degree which looks a lot on those little graphs doesn't it! Anyway may well be due to me sleeping under an open window! Lol. We shall see what tomorrow brings.

 

[DaisyQ]

Chicky, hope it's a preO dip, and you peak tomorrow. Waiting for my us now...

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

LOL....don't feel bad hopeful I am soooo bad at math, I likely would have done the same thing I can't wait for you to test, and pray this is YOUR blessing from above

Chicky add a link to your chart so we can all stalk properly

Daisy - wooo hoo....excited to see how your scan goes!! Update as soon as you can

AFM - massive rise in temp today, but just now having o pains, which is odd...isn't that suppose to happen the other way around??? Only me Going to dtd again tonight but worried if I am o-ing now it may be too late, as DH will be home late so it will be 12 hours later?? Guess it can't hurt to try.

Ooh we could be ov twins! Ha. And I want to but I can't figure out how to do it! Im rubbish at computer stuff.

It's very easy, once in your FF account go up to sharing (upper right corner) and go down to get code. Copy the BB code and add it in your siggy.

 

[DaisyQ]

So... 2 huge follies, one on each side, measuring 22 and 25 mm!! Triggered just now, and iui is tomorrow morning!!!

 

[chicky160]

Omg creative ur a freaking genius! Lol my god I sat there for bloody hours trying to work that out! x

And daisy I'm not sure what that means but sending just in case x

I'm glad it helped you! Had a peek at your chart, looks like you are gearing up to o...possibly today with your dip in temp!!

And it means Daisy will be pregnant in a few days time

 

[DaisyQ]

chicky, you are too cute. It's good! It's good! Two eggs is good (more than 1 chance), and the sizes are good (18-20 mm or larger is considered "mature"), and the fact that I have 1 on each side makes me happy because you know, some sperm will go up one tube, others will go up the other tube...

 

[chicky160]

Creative I certainly hope so!!!
And daisy omg I thought it was something bad I'm still not used to these abbreviations!!! Get you!! Wait a minute......does that mean not only could you possibly have one baby but two?! Holy crap! If that's the case I think that's incredibly selfish and once born you should give one to me an creative to share!

Seriously thou good luck to u Hun x

 

[DaisyQ]

Haha! Yes, there's a chance for twins, for sure, but I think the chance is about 10%. Often, if there are multiple eggs, not all will fertilize or implant, and even if 2 eggs do implant, sometimes only 1 will make it and the other will spontaneously abort (vanishing twin). My stepdaughter was conceived on clomid, and she had a "vanishing twin."

So we'll see. FX for just one, but if it's two, I'm up for sharing! Two sounds like a LOT!!

 

[smythdm]

Awesome news Daisy!! Fingers crossed for you

 

[1cre8tivgrl]

awww....what a blessing twins would be

 

[ttc_lolly]

That's awesome news Daisy can't wait to see your BFP soon!

Hopeful - I think we've had this discussion before my cycles are long the last one was 43 days, and I O'd on CD31. So going by last cycle I still have another fortnight of waiting my progesterone levels were just below where my Dr would have liked to have seen them (mine were 28.4, the NHS likes to see levels above 30 to indicate ovulation) so I'm having more bloods taken on CD21, 28 and 35 to see what my levels are like on each and then we are going to go from there - hoping for a referral to the FS if my levels are low again x

 

[DaisyQ]

Thanks guys. Don't want to get my hopes too high though. Did some research, and it looks like the success rate for IUI with ~ 2 follicles is 14-15 percent. With 3, it's more like 20%. So the success rate is pretty good, but it's definitely not a sure thing. So FX! The cumulative success rate of IUI working after several cycles is 40%.

daisy -

im totally made up for you. if its not this cycle it WILL be soon, i just know it. i dont think it will be twins i think you will have two children in very close succession. I have no psychic ability what so ever but that just what i have always thought, that you would have two little ones

xxx

 

[DaisyQ]

Awww, happy! That's so nice! Thank you!

I have a feeling that with everything I'm going through to conceive #1, I am not going to be careful at all at preventing after this, and number 2 is going to be a surprise! Haha.
