CD22 and waiting to O, anyone else?

[itsnowmyturn]

I'm focussing on losing weight, I'm not hugely overweight but i could do with losing a bit n toning up so that's what I'm trying to do, im hopijg that by focussing on eating better n exercising more that I will be helping myself conceive.

Il trying my hardest to not check cm or anything n havent temped yet, I'm cd9 and doing ok so far. Another week before I temp just to no my o date.

Iv worked out I'm due af the weekend my brother and his 6/7 month pregnant girlfriend and their 1 year old is over....that will be fun.

How are u all doing?? All well I hope xx

Itsnowmyturn-glad to hear your doing ok. Ive heard that even loosing 5-10 pounds can make a huge difference when ttc. Best thing to do is just eat more fruits and veggies and stay away from bad carbs as much as you can. Also drink lots of water. Thats what my doctor suggested to me and im like you not overweight but could loose a few and tone up. Daily exercise is of course good to. I take my dog for a walk every morning for about a half hour and if its nice out I do it after work to. Good luck to you.

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

That's great that you're doing some life style changes Itsnowmyturn! Toning up and keeping active is excellent, and eating better will help with everything in the long run

I really want to tone my arms! I feel like they've gotten so blah. And my butt

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Mine is mainly my tummy but obviously everything else cud do with a tone up. I'm joining a swimming pool on tuesday and hopefully go on Wednesday and maybe Thursday after work. Will try for twice a week to start with, once if work shifts don't fall right. Iv eaten really bad today, haven't actually had a meal just snacked on rubbish all day!!

Eugh I feel like I'm counting cd even more than before and thinking about baby even more but it is less emotionally hard not temping or doing opks, I don't get that disappointment when i poas or when i look at my temp, it isn't the first thing I think about when I wake up. I sort of still actuslly consider myself TTC not ntnp because we will be having baby making sex on purpose thru my possible fertile phase, I just won't no it was my fertile phase until after. If that makes any sense.

How are baby mommas doing?? Melody how is ur new cycle going? Are u trying to relax about it this cycle? I no its not easy when u have to do it via donor but I really hope u can relax. Pri how is ur cycle going? Where abouts r u in ur cycle? Xx

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Joining a pool sounds great! That's a fantastic way to exercise and tone. I have this really dumb fear of pools/oceans so I'm not a swimmer - although I wish I was!

When I tried to have more relaxed cycles I felt like I got quite a bit more nutty about cd counting and checking everything. It wasn't until we got the prescription for Femara that I actually calmed down about the whole thing and that's when we got pregnant. So as much as being relaxed about it feels like crap, we can only do our best and hope it works.

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Swimming is about the only exercise suitable for me because I have bad joints and other painful conditions so any other exercise can exacerbate one or more problems, not that swimming is foolproof, iv sprained my ankle several times swimming.
These last 4 days iv barely been able to think about anything to do with TTC as iv worked 39 hours over 3 shifts, bloody shattered, still 3 hours to go until I get 2 days off...cant come soon enough!!

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Ouch that's rough! I hope the next few hours fly on by so you can get some time to rest.

Hey Ladies!!!
Dragonfly, my life is so busy and confusing that I lost track. Your u/s was yesterday, right????
Sorry if you posted already something, I just didnt find in this page LOL sorry!!

Andi, how are you???

Melody, havent seen u here lately... everything ok???

Itsnowmyturn, I hear you, ntnp, really is not a reality after u are actually ttc lol
what cd are you again?
good for you you are dieting and swimming!!! I needed to lose some weight to, and go back to my walks!! need organize myself!!! Keep us on track on your weight loss journey so we can be your cheerleaders

AFM, i am on cd22, and I am starting to think that I really Oed on cd 11, which is extremely strangely early for me, so I can only think that the tea worked.... mystery...
I guess we will find out soon.... but I feel completely fine, no symptoms whatsoever, so not keeping any hopes up.
I will NOT be able to go back to clomid, ovidrel and do my first IUI next month, because my dentist problem is still not done. Insurance is still approving, I have no idea how much I will have to pay and after approval, it takes 3 dentist visits, 1 in each week, meaning, 3 weeks of treatment!!

So, yesterday I purchased from the same website I bought the tea, a pill called Fertlaid for women. Will start taking once it arrives.

Hope everyone is having a great week!

 

[PriandRafa]

Oh, and I am so sorry, I will post here something completely not baby related!!

My dream was always to be able to be working from home when baby would come, but I never saw how I could reach this dream. Until this weekend, where a friend from Church shared her Mary Kay Business with me. I decided to become a Mary Kary Independent Consultant and I am soo excited about it!!
It will bring some extra money, that with dentist, fertility treatment and baby, it will come more than handy, and there is an opportunity for 1 day I be like her, working from home on my own schedule!

So, if any of you girls want to support a fellow "stranger" that you know more about her inner personal things than any other thing, send me a message

And it will keep my mind busy other than ttc or the fake ntnp LOL

Baby dust to us, and Andi and Dragonfly, may your bellies grow as beautiful as they can!!!!

Hey ladies

I haven't posted in a little while. I went to visit a friend over Easter, just to relax and take my mind off things.

As you know my last cycle was 60 days. I spotted for the last 10 days of it, then thought af had started even though it was very light. I became worried after this "af" had gone on for a further 10 days! Luckily this coincided with a Drs app today, that I had scheduled ages ago. I was ready for another "nothing we can do, you don't really have pcos" fob off. I was practically in tears as I went through my whole story again but....

I got my referral!!!!!!! Yep, the doctor finally agreed to refer me to a fertility specialist! I'm absolutely over the moon! Obviously there'll be more testing, but I'm getting a jump start on this now so that i'll have all the results before my assessment. So now I just have to wait for my appointment letter I've worked out that i'll get one more natural try in before I see the specialist. Fx I get my bfp, but if not, I'll finally get the help I need!

itsnowmyturn - Hope you're ok. Thinking of you I'm trying to relax, but easier said that done , as you know lol. You'll be ntnp, but I know it's hard to just stop charting completely. I have my fx for you that you'll get your bfp soon!

Pria - Thanks so much for that explanation of how you were diagnosed. It helped a lot. I really let my doctor have it today. Told her every little symptom I have and as you can see, she finally agreed to refer me. I'd love to be tea buddies with you Pria but I need to wait until I've seen the fertility dr. The tea has vitex which is really potent for me. I think it will have a wonderful effect on your cycles. I hope you had a great anniversary, and my fingers are crossed for this month!

I hope the two mamas are doing well. I stalked your journal Dragonfly and saw you're ickle ultrasound pic. So so cute! I was emotional just looking at it, cant imagine how you felt. awwww

 

[Andi86]

Yay Melody! Glad to hear they are starting to take you seriously. Good luck with your fertility specialist! I hope u get some answers you were looking for.

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Melody - I'm so happy that you got your referral to a specialist!!! Praying you get your bfp before seeing them but either way so glad to hear that you finally will have the support you need in this crazy ttc process!

 

[melodyy_mtb]

Aww thanks Andi! I just cant wait to get my hands on some meds lol. I was sitting there with my Doctor and was like "seriously?! My last 2 cycles were 60 days, ive been bleeding for 20 days, you really think its not pcos??" lol.

It sure is Dragonfly. It would be great to get my bfp before I have to go to the clinic. I remember you got yours just before your appointment hehe. But either way, I'm just happy things are moving forward.

Hope you both are doing well. I know you've been a bit sick Dragonfly, I hope you start feeling better soon.

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Thank you Melody I've been pretty good the last two days. Although tonight we stayed up so late with card games with the family and I snacked wayyy too much so my tummy's a bit upset

Praying you'll get your bfp soon! Whether before or soon after your next appointment. Ugh, so glad your doctor finally started paying attention, really looking forward to how this specialist goes!

 

[Andi86]

Dragonfly-glad to hear your feeling better the last couple days. My ms came this past week. Just seems to come in waves especially when I'm tired. But it's not that bad...I'm not throwing up or anything just a little nauseous from time to time.

Melody- yeah bleeding for 20 days isn't normal and I'm sure not the best thing for you health wise. I'm glad they are listening to you.

Priandrafa- what's new with you?

Itsnowmyturn-hope everything is going well with you.

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Hi guys not been on much, busy with work, swimming and got a new phone, I couldn't remember my password n got locked out then when I finally signed in it wouldn't show me and posts so I gave up lol. Not really liking this new layout, I can't find anything or do anything.

I went swimming Friday with my neighbour and her 2 kids, was so nice helping to teach them to swim, went today as well but just me and neighbour and did 300 meters in 35 minutes but we did sit and chat a fair bit lol.

Bought lots of new holiday clothes today, can't wait for them to start getting too big lol, sounds mad but it will make me realise that it's all good.

Started my temps tonight, it's at my usual pre o temps and I think I'm cd19 so I guess I haven't od yet, we be yesterday so hopefully will be this week sometime.

Melody that's great about the referral, about bloody time as well, I bet ur so happy!! So glad they r taking u seriously at last!

Dragon sorry to hear about the ms, hoping passes soon.

How is everyone

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Andi - Definitely try to stay well rested, it can be hard with the nausea but I notice the most I sleep the better I feel. These past few days I've been doing better, but I'm expecting it probably will get a whole lot worse once I hit 8 weeks

Itsnowmyturn - It's kind of nice to be busy I'm keeping my fingers crossed your temps show promising things and that you O soon.

 

[Mrs Dragonfly]

Hey ladies, it's been quiet over here. Thinking of all of you!

Itsnowmyturn - I hope you're doing well

Melody - Have you been able to see the new specialist yet? I hope they are super proactive and get to the bottom of what's going on with your cycles so you can get your bfp!

Pri - How are we doing?

 

[melodyy_mtb]

Hey Dragonfly! Hows it going? I stalked your journal a bit I see you're 8 weeks now! Hope mama and baba are both ok.

We had another bank holiday over here, so I've just been keeping busy. I had still been spotting, but my mood about it all has completely changed. I think its because i started meditating again, and I'm hoping to get back into yoga. I booked my fertility app. Its on the 4th of July lol. I'm hoping that's a good omen. I started vitex again from today. I thought what's the worst that could happen, and guess what.. af started tonight, properly this time I may get 2 tries in before my app woohoo.

How are the rest of you ladies?

Andi i hope you and bump are ok.

itsnowmyturn, I guess you have o'd by now and hopefully in the tww?

Pria hun hows things?

 

[itsnowmyturn]

Hi guys thought I wud check in, haven't been on in a while. Yeah I od about a week ago, af should be due next Thursday which is my next day off after today so il be kept busy until then.

Dragon glad to see ur progressing well, will catch up with ur journal in a mo

Melody glad af has finally properly started and u can try before ur apt, hopefully ul be pregnant without needing it
