[Closed] Per Ardua Ad Astra

[Tui]

Sorry sporty, I can imagine how annoying that is. It will be worth it in the end, keep telling yourself that.

I'm feeling ok. Still disappointed but hey ho, will try again. Still trying to figure out if I should try baby aspirin again this month. It's made my AF longer and a bit heavier, and no cramps! Is this a good thing or bad? Trying to think how it's affected my lining. I have no clotting issues but wonder if it's helped with better circulation to the uterus? Anyone got any thoughts?

 

[Lynny77]

Vutie big big hugs to you. Thinking of you!

Sporty that's so frustrating! But like Tui said it'll all be worth it.

Tui not sure about the baby aspirin. I know Squig knows a lot more about it than I do. Glad you're feeling ok.

I'm still out in Maui Tui I keep thinking our time zones are so far apart! Not sure when or if I even ovulated. I'm going to say I did since even after my mc the latest I o'd was day 26 and today is day 28. Also (total tmi alert I'm so sorry!) but after we bd'd today he had thick white cm on him. Not fertile. lol. I don't really have a lot of hopes even for this vacation cycle. I think after my hysteroscopy I'll have better chances. Oh- the nurse said not all my rpl tests are in but the ones that are, are showing normal so that's good!

 

[Tui]

Yay for normal tests. I was a little disappointed when mine came back normal. I just thought I could magically fix whatever was wrong and then I would get pregnant, lol. Realised afterwards normal is not sooo bad! Just have to wait and it will happen eventually.

Hey I wondet if stress can effect sperm? DH is always stressing about work and money!

I have my scan later today - wish me luck ladies. It feels like it's been forever to get to this point. Doubt we'll get any answers though as our specialists appointment isn't until 1st December. I think they'll go through every then.

I feel quite nervous though. Not sure why. I was so snappy with DH last night, I had to do to bed early to avoid an argument.

Good luck honey, hope you get some answers. So annoying when they make you wait!

 

[taztap]

Good luck for scan...

Cutieq - hope everything is going ok, thinking of you.

I am dying from all day nausea nothing seems to help it, its become a way of life now, it is a bit comforting to feel sick though makes me think all is ok..

 

[Nikki1979]

Good luck with your scan blue. I hope everything is fine.

 

[Bug222]

Good luck today bluefish!

Tui- I am taking a baby aspirin a day.. Can't really say it is helping get me a BFP but hopefully if I ever do get another it will help it stick

 

[Tui]

Sorry you are feeling rough taz. Have you tried sucking sugar free sweets?

 

[bluefish1980]

Well, Scan was all clear. No cysts and she said she could see no obvious reason why I wasn't getting pregnant.

So that's progesterone ok, smear ok, blood tests ok, SA ok, scan ok....... So why can't I get pregnant?!?!?!

 

[kwynia]

What's your ttc history bluefish?

 

[sportysgirl]

Bluefish glad the scan went ok. It's good in one way but frustrating in another. How you feeling? X

Looks like we are in the same boat! I'm trying to convince myself to chill out and stress less. Hard though.

We will do it girls. Happy thoughts.

 

[Lynny77]

Bluefish glad everything is ok! Though I know it's frustrating it's not an easy fix and you don't have answers.

Taz hope the nausea abates soon!

Tui love the think positive. It's what gets me out if bed every morning!

Funny even though I'm on holiday I still have ttc on the brain. There's no such thing as relax and it'll happen. I can't get anymore relaxed than I am now and I still think about ttc! And not knowing when I ovulated is making me a little crazy. It's one thing that gives me some control just having that knowledge. No pms symptomd yet. No cramps, no sore boobs, am I in week 1 or 2? Who knows. Though holiday is helping the time go by quicker ok wanted to get that off my chest!

Cutie thinking of you.

 

[Tui]

Lynny, I know how you feel with the control thing. DH thinks I should stop the opks and temping as he thinks it is stressing me out. It's actually the opposite, I feel more relaxed knowing when I'm ovulating and giving it our all. Then the temps tell me it's all over and I can relax. If I didn't know I'd be worried I haven't dtd at the right time! If we gave it a rest like he suggested, we probably wouldn't get round to having sex, lol. Can't be wasting a month, I'm too old

What's your ttc history bluefish?

We have been TTC exactly 2 years today. On cycle 5 we hit the jackpot and got a BFP. However in week 8 I discovered it was ectopic. By the time we realised my right tube had ruptured and I had an emergency op to have it removed. I lost a lot of blood and ended up with 4 blood transfusions and a 22cm wound.

Since then (April 2013) I haven't had a single BFP.

I'm really starting to get down about the whole thing, but like you Tui, the temping keeps me sane (ish).

Although for the last 2 cycles it appears my ovulation date is much earlier than normal (like 7 - 10 days early!). This is why I was surprised she didn't find any cysts. I thought hat might explain the bizarre cycles recently.

 

[Lynny77]

Blue that is strange! I normally o day 17-22 so having I move up that much would be a blessing haha. Do they have an idea why o moved up so much? Was your scan a sono or ultrasound?

Tui I hear you. I wish so much I could take some cycles off and regroup and not worry about ttc but I don't have that luxury. At this age I need to make the most of every cycle!

 

[laurac1988]

There is definitely no such thing as "relax and it will happen". That's a big load of bollocks.

It sucks but unfortunately even the healthiest couples only have a 20% chance of conceiving every cycle. And that's with perfect conditions. Some times it's just not the right egg or the right sperm. I ow that sounds like bollocks too, but it's all a game of luck. Sucks for me as I am a total control freak and the fact is that normally if you line everything up perfectly you will achieve the end result you want. Apparently not with TTC.

We've been trying since Feb 2012 with 1 BFP (June 14) and a mc since then. I have PCOS so I guess that makes out chance just that little bit less

 

[kwynia]

I hate statistics, I have around a 10% chance if everything is perfectly healthy, but I've got a feeling it's not. For almost a year I've been having some weird health issues. Fatigue, dizziness, nausea, motion sensitivity, light sensitivity and so on. I've had an MRI which was clear and several blood panels which were also fine. It's only been since my last mc that I noticed the symptoms get really bad a couple days before AF shows up. Then continue through AF and don't get better until ovulation, then I feel great until AF again. I noticed with the miscarriage I started having all my symptoms a couple days before spotting started. I know it's hormonal now and really feel like there is a connection to the mcs but my GP said there are no tests to run for hormonal imbalance and the only treatment is BC.....needless to say, I will be following up with my OB-GYN after this cycle.
