want2b-i agree with some of the other ladies, you never know whats going to happen in the future but what we do know is that you will always want a baby, so dont stop trying! and it will happen for you!

skav: no thank god, im not throwing up, but im just constantly nauseous and queasy! i just pray every day to feel better! i've already lost those 7 lbs since conception but it hasnt gone past that which is a good sign because it means im at least getting a little bit of nourishment (even though its only bread, crackers, macaroni and pizza)! my dr. gave me some anti nausea pills (zofran) if it gets bad today maybe ill try one-i doubt theyll do anything though-i just cant imagine anything taking away this feeling!

hello girls!!!!

sorry for my late reply, i am just back from work... thank you all so very much for your advises, it's not like i can talk about this with many other people... this means a lot to me!

it's a difficult decision to make for me, on one side there is the dream of my perfect family with my perfect little ones running around and my perfect dh... on the other hand there is a dream of a life time, a career i always wanted and studied for... and now it is even more important for what i am going through.

the clinical training is to become a consultant in a fertility centre, specialising in how to optimize embryo growth and selection for IVF... i have to say, i always wanted to do this but now, after being part of this forum i truly understood what it feels like for couples going through ivf, the emotional fatigue and the financial problems.... if we can optimize embryo selection, maybe ivf could work first time round thus reducing costs and emotional stress...

it's a 3 years training, the sooner i start, the better it is as i am finishing my phd now, i wanted to start straight away, it's very hard to get in, the ratio is 100 applicants per position...

i am 30 now, by the time i start the training i'll be 31 and by the time we could start ttc again i'll be 32...

i don't know what to do, i want a baby, i do, it'll make my life wonderful so yes, if i think about it, a baby would be my choice... maybe it's because i see it as a very far away dream, almost as something that won't happen to us, whereas i see the training as a reality.... i don't know, very very confused...

i think it is also because i am on my third cycle of clomid and i feel exactly as the little smile going crazy on my signature!!!

anyways, thank you! it's a decision i have to take very soon and i am sure i will bother you again with this...

I can test in 4 days, but want to wait for 5 or 6...not certain I can bare it though you?

 

[ttc11786]

want: that's amazing! congrats on your phd! i hope you are able to help many many couples who have trouble ttc! it is truly the most rewarding job!!

also, just some inspiration: i did 3 cycles of clomid, didnt respond to the first 2 and the last one, i ovulated but didnt get pregnant.

then my dr. said he wanted to try lertrizole because it doesnt effect out mucus and other things as much as clomid and BAM! first cycle on letrizole, i got my BFP! just to give you some hope

 

[Want2bMum]

thank you girls

@TTC thank you sweety for sharing your story, i have an appointment with FS on the 15th to discuss the situation and see what we can do, i was planning to suggest letrozole, we'll see how it goes...

@herewr ...thank you! ...i'll hopefully soon be Dr Want2bMum
and if i manage to become consultant, of course any fertility consultation and treatment plan with me will be totally free for you girls this is a promise!!!

 

[here_we_r]

awww Want: That is so sweet. OH and I love the Dr. Want2bMum

Popcorn: Yea I know what you mean. Scared as heck!!! We are here with you. Can you hold out though? You know we are some poas -a-holics..

 

[Popcorn]

Well, the plan is to watch my temps, if they stay up when I'm 13 dpo, then I can test. If they drop, then it's likely BFN anyway. Hurry up time

Hey Ladies,
I bought soy, so I am gonna try and figure out the dosage for the soy and take it on cd3-7... I am still thinking about the vitex, though...

I do have a question for u ladies about O...

I had cramps for 3 days, July 29, the whole day, July 30th, the whole day, and early morning(until like 3am) on July 31...the o pains in my uterus were worst early morning on July 31st...

So I am wondering would do you ladies think I o'ed? early morning(the cramping stopped around 3amish) on July 31st when the cramping was worst and then stopped or on July 30th, when the cramping was bad?

I am just soo confused.... HELP!!!!

 

[Snip]

Hey Scooter....miss your chatting with us! Why so quiet??
I'll say that night from 30-31....

Want: go for both....everything will work out just fine.
One of my favorite sayings....God will not give you things or put you in a situation you cant handle!!
So dont stop TTC and also go for the training....let Him make the decision.

 

[Popcorn]

slight sicky feeling that gets a bit better if i eat, but stays
constipation

Must be nice to be in a new home ...new home...new baby

Yes I do, your chart look really good...temps still climbing.
Good symptoms!!
With a chart and symptoms like that I would start peeing on sticks from 10dpo!!

Since moving into this house we're so much closer as a family. for the fisrt time we have a place big enough for a table to sit at at dinner times.
Me and DH as just sooo relaxed!

 

[Popcorn]

Must be so wonderful having a family home! Me and OH are still in a one bed, it will do for now

the only thing really making me think I'm not pregnant is my cervix...(TMI) sorry!
I think it's a bit open and I thought it was supposed to be closed if PG?

Well, we couldn't afford a family home in the city...so me moved to this small coastal town a year ago. the best move I've ever made. Still close enough to the city to go there for monthly shopping and visit my family....but quiet enough at the sea to feel like we're on permanent holiday!
I can actually go anywhere and still have the same job, just need internet and my pc. :-D


About checking cervix....I still dont get the hang of it...tried it a few times but dont really know what to look for or when it's high or low.

I know exactly how you feel about living by the sea, we do too!! I'm hoping we can afford to move into a bigger place in the next couple of years. Is the weather good where you are? It's really sunny and hot here so we're not working today, will be going to the beach instead x

This is one of the few coastal places where rent is still affordable! mainly because there's so much older people living here and people only come here for holidays.

No it's winter here....rained yesterday and this morning...but sunny now. still a bit cold.
LG stayed home from school today with the flu so it's indoors for her the whole weekend.
