So sorry. How far was she?

So sorry. How far was she?

She just found out on Monday. So 5 weeks I think.

My temp finally dropped below coverline. Bizarre!

 

[Taurus8484]

Same as me. How she doing??? You had a huge drop didn't you.

 

[Shellvz]

Same as me. How she doing??? You had a huge drop didn't you.

She was upset but trying to be philosophical that atleast she was able to conceive again. I think they will continue trying now. They had given up prior to this and decided to be content with their son.

I know - big drop but I am now back in my usual temps for this time of the cycle. Usually this big drop happens at start of af not end...???

I wonder how this will affect next coverline as I was above it for first 4 days...?

 

[Shellvz]

And temp back up but I think it is because I slept in...

 

[Shellvz]

I have changed my temping time again - back to 5am as this was when I tend to wake up and get the most accurate temps. Sleeping another hour and my temps go up.

How are you going?

 

[Taurus8484]

Yeah, just change them to whatever you feel more comfortable with.

Yeah Im okay. Looking forward to my appointment. What about you??? Taking your husband with you on Wednesday??

Yes - taking hubby to appt

 

[Taurus8484]

Good. Think he needs to be there. How will he feel about giving a SA?

 

[Shellvz]

He said he is happy to find out.

We are not sure what to expect. I figure she will ask us questions and give information. May write out referrals for blood test, sperm sample and ultrasound.

I think for both of us now - we are hoping that it may shed light on why we are not conceiving so far.

I am hoping that it won't be a problem for us or our marriage. I don't want either of us to feel that we have failed the other if it is determined to be one of us at fault.

 

[Taurus8484]

Im sure there wont be a problem, and if there is, then you will find that it will have the opposite effect and bring you closer. A good friend of mine couldnt get pregnant for years, hubby had semen analysis done and he had just about no sperm.

Their only hope was IVF and it was a long shot. For the first two months he wanted to leave her so that she could have a family with someone else, but after that it just made them closer and they were determined to have a family together and support each other through thick and thin.

Their twins turn 4 in October.

Thanks for sharing the story. I am feeling abit nervous about tomorrow's appointment. Getting butterflies in my tummy. Feel like I am about to sit an exam which is pass or fail!

How are you going?

 

[Taurus8484]

Yeah going well. Im very very excited about tomorrow. Cant wait to finally get to hopefully get some answers or at least work towards getting some answers.

Dont feel nervous. Im sure you will be fine. Is this your normal Doctor??

Nope - never met her in my life...

We don't have a regular Dr. Just see whomever at whichever local clinic is closest to where we are living at the time. Haven't been to a Dr about anything serious before - just usual sniffles etc...

I rang a clinic I went to years ago to have my moles scanned - not far from where we are now living - and asked for their Dr who specialises in women's health and family planning.

So I am seeing her on the receptionist's reccommendation.

I hope you get the answers you are seeking

 

[Taurus8484]

Hope you do too xx

CD9

Today is the day....

Off to Doctors this arvo (both of us) to find answers hopefully.

I am nervous but glad we made the decision to go. Time for head in the sand has passed and now whatever the reality is we can deal with it!

 

[Taurus8484]

Yes, its here...........FINALLY!!!!

Cant wait to get in there and ask some questions........we have to confer tomorrow morning asap!!!!! Tonight even!!!!!!!!!

 

[Taurus8484]

Look at that!!! If you go CD14 and i go CD16 to ovulate we will be doing 2WW together at exactly the same time...........although after the last CP I didnt ovulate at all so who knows this time around......but still......exciting!!!!!!!!!

 

[Taurus8484]

Yes, I admited it, I am just a little excited ........ I feel like we are being proactive and making decisions for ourselves.........YAY!!!

There is certainly an element of taking control when for months everything has been out of our control

I won't have answers straight up I imagine. Tests to be run and results to be read another day. But it is the beginning of searching for answers.

Lately my date of ovulation has been less than CD14. It has varied each month - CD 14, CD 13, CD 12, CD 13, CD 11.

I have wondered if it is because of the Evening Primrose Oil. I have heard it affects your ovulation timing.

Either way we will be in the 2ww together regardless of which day ovulation takes place
