Considering at-home insemination with donor sperm...?

[ticking.clock]

Leah if you take your positive opk out what does it do to your ov date?
Cos I think you might have ov a few days later than ff is saying

I was thinking the same thing. FF doesn't indicate ovulation when I take the OPK out because I didn't start temping until halfway through the cycle. I am so stinkin confused by this entire thing. I think it happened later too but I did have O pain the night before the pos OPK.

I'd say you ov cd19, so your just 11dpo today, so keep testing cos it's looking good

If it was cd19 then I am already out. We inseminated cd13 am and pm . There is no way that the would last that long.

As you can guess I still don't have my BFP and there is still no sign of AF. I guess there is nothing to do but wait

Leah, this part of the 2ww is horrible isn't it, I think I find the last bit the worse, drives me mad hopefully AF will stay away and you'll get that BFP SOON! Happy birthday x

Faith, hanging in there with ya

So I went to throw my test out as I had left it on the side too long and the was a faint line (was neg at 10mins) got excited as it was pink n not grey but when I took another one and watched it religiously it was a def neg!! Talk about thump down to reality

 

[c.30]

Sorry about that Ttcrainbow I had a similar experience a couple of months ago with a blue die test which notoriously give false positives...I saw a second line very faintly appear and went into shock; I then, pretty much straight away, watched it disappear and the disappointment was immense!

AFM, FF has confirmed 3DPO FAR too early for SS but I have been mega tired. After a good nights sleep (and 2 naps during the day yesterday!) I'm feeling real positive this morning

 

[Ttcrainbow]

Well c.30 stay positive. It's the best way to be

 

[Ttcrainbow]

Leah any luck? C30 still keeping positive?

Oh Gemini I am so sorry. Why do they not fund treatment? Have you tried appealing? I don't mean to imply that you need it but have they offered you a free counselling session? Or at least what you can do next?

 

[LeahMSta]

Still waiting guys. We had a decent temp drop this morning but I don't know if that was due to disrupted sleep and being up and down all night or if it is AF. Other than the dip can't decide if there are anyother signs of AF approaching. I suppose there is nothing to do but wait at this point.

 

[c.30]

Leah any luck? C30 still keeping positive?

Yep I know it's early but I had some really promising symptoms, symptoms that were new to me, yesterday including BIG bad mood swings (tis a good job I live on my own ) and a "need" for carbs, pasta and chocolate specifically!!

Gemini, nice to see you, really sorry about your news x

Leah, I think I've said it already but I HATE this part of the wait! Hopefully you'll have some good news to share with us soon

Ttcrainbow, how are you doing? x

 

[Ttcrainbow]

Ah Leah stay positive cos at least af isn't here yet.

C30 those are positive signs.

I'm feeling rough today. Didn't even want my favourite drink today and feel a bit sick. Now 8 days late and feel so uncomfortable but trying not to read too much into it as close to massive disappointment but secretly am praying.

 

[c.30]

Ttcrainbow, could you go to the dr's and ask for a blood test? When was the last time you tested? xx

Ttcrainbow, could you go to the dr's and ask for a blood test? When was the last time you tested? xx

Tested this morning with first response. I will if it doesn't arrive by the weekend. My gp will probably tell me to wait another 2 weeks according to my friend but I might hve to as too scared to take any tablets etc and t least I would know. Sigh.

 

[c.30]

sometimes it just takes a long time for the HCG to build up in some women. I know it doesn't help and it's very frustrating. Thinking of you x

 

[LeahMSta]

Well, another temp drop today. I would love to say tha tat least I have some answers but I realized that the drop yesterday was interruptes sleep AND we've had houseguests all weekend. So I turned on the AC for the first time in the season because it has been in the 90s here. Soy yesterday and today were my first two nights woth it in. DO you think that could really make that big of a difference. I don't have any of the usual signs of AF but maybe I am just being overly optimistic. I guess we will just keep waiting.

 

[Ttcrainbow]

got my first signs of af tonight. She gonna be here in full swing tomorrow /-( so close. Oh well at least I know now

 

[gemini87]

thanks c.30
ttcrainbow - apparently my pct removed all funding for treatment involving all donor gametes at the beginning of the recession so there is nothing that my pct can do for my in terms of getting me pregnant so i dont think i am under her clinic anymore. as basically if i want fertility treatment i would have to pay and go private which at approx £9500 per cycle is something i am not in a position to afford right now. no counselling was offered but she is writing to my gp recommending a referal to endocrinology to have myself checked out for other causes for my early menopause but from the research i have done prematuer ovarian failure is also a possibility but this can only by diagnosed by an endocrinologist. she wants me also to be referred to specialists in london for the early menopause because of my age and its rarity + the possible impact on my body. so although adoption was something me + my dw wanted to do eventually it now looks like it will be our first option x

 

[c.30]

Leah, I see AF got you? BIG girl x

Ttcrainbow, how are you today? x

Me, still exhausted and been having mood swings both of which I haven't had before so they're good signs I've usually got tender bbs but that still hasn't happened yet which I'm also taking as a good sign, FX!!!!! May test saturday. It's my 33rd birthday on tuesday 26th and it would be glorious to get my BFP in my birthday month
