oooh, take piccys of the Yorkshire pudding!

 

[Sparkly]

Whoop Megg a roast with yorkshires??? you lucky lady you, we normally reserve that for a sunday dinner. Are you roasting beef? I usually slow cook my meat overnight......it's lush that way.

Hearty - Do you have to wait for a +hpt before you can get the progesterone pills?

 

[heart tree]

Yes Sparkly my doctor said to wait. I have the prescription waiting for me though and could pick them up any time I wanted. I was wondering if I should just start them after Ov. My original plan was to use the cream from Ov until +hpt and then get the pills. Why do you ask?

 

[Megg33k]

I know Mone, it is so hard. Look at Mel, she is a success story! My doctor has also told me that there is a greater chance of mc if you don't wait. But like you said, neither way has worked yet. Personally for me, I have always waited until my first AF. But I don't think I even Ov right after my mcs, so it is a mute point.

Enjoy the show. Not sure we have it here in the US.

See, and I've read it doesn't up your chances of MC'ing at all... and its easiest to have a successful pregnancy after a loss within 6 months of the loss. After that, you're back to whatever your odds were before.

oooh, take piccys of the Yorkshire pudding!

I will... assuming they work out! LOL I'll take pics even if they don't though!

I've never made a roast before. I'm doing it in a crock pot. The instructions said to put it on for 6 hours (its not that big)... and I've NEVER had a Yorkshire pudding in my 29+ years. We don't do "Sunday dinner" since my grandma passed in 2003, so we don't reserve anything for those days. I think its too small to cook overnight. Its not big. There's only going to be 3 of us!!

I hope she goes soon Lucy, I have been doing a lot of shouting at the telly, why on earth do it if you are so phobic of everything... she must really need the dough. Hope your AF comes soon hun, did you decide to wait for a cycle before trying again, or was it because of the tests? So glad you are feeling better....isn't the human spirit incredible that we can slowly come back from that dark dark place and feel hope again, I didn't think I would this time!

We are waiting because we were told that we couldnt try untill after our appointment on the 1st Dec. We've made different decisions after each of our losses, fter my first lost we waited as we were told and to give me body a chance to get back to normal which I'm glad I did but after the 2nd one as it was such an early loss we decided to try straight away and this time it was taken out of our hands. It doesnt help that every dr says something different you just have to go with what feels right for you.

Megg I didnt realise you were low in vit d I dont know much about it apart from this piece and read about it and my mum who is having her's checked suggested I get mine done.

 

[LucyJ]

enjoy your yorkshires megg

 

[vickyd]

Hearty actually im glad you pushed me...I kinda figured that my acceptance of having a baby was your aim! The truth is that i try and hide my bump, imagine that i just told everyone at work and most hadnt a clue that i was preggo let alone almost 6 months.
Mone ive had this bump before and i was happy and full of pride....When i had to let her go it was made even harder to deal with the fact that it took a while for my bump to go down. Today was the first day i enjoyed my bump with Alex who was proudly taking pictures. Thanks again hearty, i love ya!

I was wondering if they may be of benefit to me, my plan was to use the progesterone cream and then if I get a +hpt ask my docs for the progesterone. I guess if I were you I would just use them after ov had been confirmed, every little helps, get that prescription filled my dearie

Hearty is good like that... in sneaky ways!

 

[sugarlove]

Hi girls I'm just on iPhone at mo, so can't catch up properly but wanted to say hi and will read back through posts tomorrow.
Nato, that's so funny about wearing the softcup when meeting Matt. I reckon if you get a bfp this month, you will have him to thank
I've sacked the softcups on the head, they made me feel minging! Will stick to old fashioned way I reckon.
Vicky what an adorable bump. You are so petite!
I'm loving I'm a celeb. Think Shaun Ryder is hilarious and gill mckeith is an irritating mare!

[LucyJ]

Thanks for those megg they were really interesting. I cant believe how much vit d she had to take.

Vicky I am so glad that you and alex could enjoy your bump together today you do look fab.

Hearty is a clever lady.

Right girls I've got to go to bed as I'm teaching tomorrow wont be around untill tomorrow evening as cant get onto the site while at work.

to all

 

[MinnieMone]

oh vicky your post made me cry, I'm so happy that you feel you can embrace your beautiful bump and it must have made Alex so proud to take the pictures. Yay to Hearty for chivvying!

Lucy, it's hard when it's enforced waiting eh, but I know they get ansy if you get preggo when they're testing. I did, and got a right old telling owwwfff. December will be here quick as tho' and you can come back to the madness!

Thanks Megg for your views.... I think I'm just concerned that if I do ov before next AF the egg might be even less quality than usual, but I will never know. there is so much conflicting advice from Dr's/t'internet, if I get a positive OPK Mart and I will decide there and then I think. Spur of the moment bonk!

Nato - I love Nigel too usually, (he was a legend as Louis in the street), but he's a bit snippety for my liking at the mo'.... shaun r is twistin my melon mans tho'... love him!

Sparkly - sounds like you have everything covered - do you think the metformin is helpful, I've come off it as I didn't think it was doing anything and because I ovulate I still don't know why the specialist put me on it... he said it would improve egg quality, but I think it made it worse.... i've been doing lots of reading up on it though and it is supposed to give those with PCOS the same miscarriage rate as those without, so now i'm thinking bugger I should be back on it.... (ahhhh!!! can you tell I'm confused!)

 

[Megg33k]

There is no "right answer," Mone... I wish there was. I think either way would be fine. Whatever makes you feel most comfortable!

AFM... I don't think this roast is going very well... *sigh*

 

[heart tree]

Mone do you have PCOS? I guess I didn't realize that. Are your cycles long? Were you taking any other meds? Sorry if you've answered these questions before. Sometimes it takes me a few times to get peoples information straight in my head.

Vicky I'm so pleased that my little trick worked. I really want you to glean some joy from this pregnancy. How lovely that you and Alex shared that experience. That was an unintentional benefit to my insistence that you post the pic! I can't believe your coworkers don't realize. You look pretty pregnant!

 

[yogi77]

Wow Sparkly and Hearty, you ladies are armed and ready to go!!! I feel so old school with no ammunition!!! Just a couple of OPK's, some and everything crossed but my legs!

Vicky that's a great bump pic!

Mone glad your bleeding has stopped.

Lucy sorry your craping/cramping, hope it goes away and you get AF soon!

ahh Vic, you look just lovely. Ahh. Look at you.

Yogi, imagine if your husband was the prime minister. "Hello, is that the Kremlin, can you tell Prime Minister Yogi he has to catch the last flight back from Russia, Ive got a peak on my Clear Blue, thanks, oh yes, and tell him to not to work on his laptop on the plane, yes, it plays havoc with the wigglers. Yes, thanks, and you, byeee"

 

[Allie84]

Good evening lovely ladies,

Aww Vicky, I'm so, so pleased that you have been embracing your bump with Alex taking photos today. I also don't know how you hid it for so long, you look super pregnant to me!

Nato, I loved hearing that you were wearing a softcup with Matt but did not love hearing you might miss ov with OH next cycle...I say go with the IUI if you can get in. How exciting. Oh, and I drooled at your Lindt bunny comment. I saw some in the shop yesterday being sold as Christmas bunnies (?) and almost got some; I think now that it's back in my head I'm just going to have to splurge.

Dawny, I hope your symptoms are a good sign, and aso that you get your reading soon (along with Nato). There must be some Sandra backlog.

Sparkly, you are armed and ready! Same with Hearty. Good luck this cycle, it seems like you're really upping your chances so I have everything crossed for a nice BFP for you both! And Yogi, going at it the minimalist route (I have to lol thinking OPKS are minimalist when I used to think they meant serious business and wasn't ready for them yet). I'm with Hearty and would love for all of us non preggo Derailers to be bump buddies soon!

It's so lovely to hear from you, Mone. It's such a touch decision and I like that you're going to see what happens in the moment. They always say it's good to go with your gut instinct.

Sparkly, I cannot believe you did 30 hpts lol!!! I will no longer feel bad for testing twice in a day. I love it, though, a POAS addict after my own heart.

Megg, how was your roast?

 

[Allie84]

I am so confused.

I just got my most recent '7dpo' progesterone tests results in the mail (from last week). They have gone down to either 4 or 7 (I can't read his bloody handwriting) from nearly 10 last cycle!

At first I was so upset thinking my progesterone got worse, but it doesn't make sense. I ovulated much sooner than last cycle, and my luteal phase is shaping up to be longer. I don't know if it's wishful thinking but now I'm thinking I got the DPO wrong and wondering if that seems plausible?

Today I am 13dpo, supposedly, but AF is not here, whereas last cycle I was spotting and cramping at this time, with AF showing up in full force the next day. Also, why would my progesterone get worse with earlier ov and soy? Oh, and I was doubting FF all this time because it has me ovulating before my CBFM peak. I'm wondering if my temperatures are just shoddy and I'm really only 11 dpo right now? That would mean I got my 7dpo bloods on 5dpo and it might account for the low number.

I realize I'm just rambling here. If that made sense to anyone I'd appreciate your feedback. Sometimes I worry I just have an inability to accept bad news and I just justify everything, I want to make sure I'm not doing that.

 

[yogi77]

I wish I could help you Allie but I don't know anything about that stuff

Big hugs

 

[Allie84]

Thanks Yogi! I suppose it doesn't really matter, as I'm out anyways this cycle, but I thought temping was so accurate...now I'm not convinced.
