Megg, I forgot to tell you, I have had yorkshire pudding success. I made sunday lunch yesterday for some friends, and my friend Ben showed me how to do it. For the recipe, just make sure you have equal parts of egg, milk and flour. So however much volume of egg you have, add the same volume of flour and then of milk. Do it in a bigger dish, and the oil (not olive oil or butter as it doesnt get hot enough - i used sunflower but most use beef fat) must cover the whole of the dish and a bit more, then instead of putting the dish in the oven, put it on the stove and heat from the gas ring until it smokes. When you pour the batter in, it will start cooking and fluffing up immediately. Then put it straight in the oven and dont open the oven door. I did though.

In total, ive been trying for 13 months now sugar - thats the number i told my dr. Im going to get a private consultation alongside my nhs tests and referrals (assuming i get referred) - i was worried the private dr would make me get all the bloods done again at £90 a pop. The SA is £200 and we've already had that done. Will they all make me pay for the tests again or can i use the NHS results do you know?

You've been trying for about the same as me then Nato. I got pg fairly quickly, especially since we missed a month to drink over xmas, but not a sniff of a BFP since then

My C was happy to use the nhs ones, but they hadn't done all of them and fucked the fsh one up. I should be getting my letter off him tomorrow so I'll see what tests he has recommended and let you know. I suppose it depends on the clinic. Mine does nhs and private work so is prob sympathetic to our plight!

 

[NatoPMT]

Dazed, there are certain discoers that you must stay away from in the 2ww. I am one of them. I will encourage any testing / spotting frenzies. Its in my nature.

Sugar, thanks for the tip off. I get scared by bossy people who think they are important too. I will be scared of an fs. Sorry if youve already posted this, what did your fs say about our symptoms, did they say what your next tests should be? did he suggest the lap and dye?

 

[heart tree]

Yes Nato, that is displacement at it’s finest! I will curse Foster’s every time I see a commercial for them now. Damn that beer. I’ll never drink it again!

Sugar, I do feel that time is running out which is why I decided to do IUI in the next couple of cycles. I watched my friend do it and have success twice, this time with twins.

Speaking of her, she is 38 and her husbands SA was low and got lower the second time he got it done. She tried for a year without success. Then finally got pregnant the 3rd IUI. Had a mc and then got pregnant the first IUI after the mc with twins. I know I’ve talked about her before, but I think she can offer some hope. We’ve all been pregnant before, she hadn’t been. I think we all have a greater chance with IUI. IVF is so expensive for me that I’m not sure I’m going to go there yet. I have a good follicle count, so can wait a little while before making that decision.

Dazed, I’m sending you a cyber slap! I’m like you though, I never test early. I HATE seeing white BFNs!

Hi Cazza! How’s the bub?

thats exactly what i did last year, started in September / October missed december to get drunk, then i got bfp in january.

yes i remember that fsh debarcle. oo, youve answered what i asked in my last post in this one. let us know tomorrow. fingers crossed sugarplum x

ps yes i do feel like time is running out, im 39 and a half now. Im 40 in 6 months. shit shit shit

 

[Dazed]

Thanks for the slap Hearty. You should go get Nato too!

 

[Allie84]

Hey girls,

Nato, stress makes me gain weight instead of lose it, too, even if I eat less. Go figure. I had to laugh at your 'displacement', but go ahead, you're on AF, and any mood is justified imo!

I'm all for assisted conception (I accidently wrote contraception...not exactly ha) and I'll always say go for it, but remember you could get pregnant in the meantime, as well. There's always a chance (except for when DH is away, which is so crap for you, Nato). I know I've told this story before but my cousin who gave birth on Thursday TTC for over 13 months, having only a handful of periods, and then got pregnant during the IUI process (but before the actual IUI). Doctors told her she had little chance on her own and she did it. I'm saying in this in my most scolding voice....stop self-diagnosing! Tsk Tsk. If you don't know you have hostile CM, endo, bad sperm, etc....I say stay optimistic that you don't. I think I can be too optimistic sometimes, though,. But not always.

 

[NatoPMT]

dazed youre putting me in the frame for a slap. On go on then, as its for my own good

allie, i like hearing your cousins story. I know bad sperm isnt an issue. I also gotta say, its pretty impossible to stop thinking about the issues and what they might be, so i shall respectfully ignore your advice cos im naughty like that. Also, if i assume all is ok, i wont have any motivation to get tested and actually discover if theres owt wrong, and i tend to avoid anyway so i need all the motivation i can get

on the going to Oz, husband just called his boss, and his boss said they can go on wednesday the 8th, instead of the 6th. I am due to ov on either the 11th or 12th, so i have some chance this month, but not great

 

[vickyd]

Hola chickas...

Nato sorry the bitch got ya...Have you ever considered IVF abroad? My doc was telling me that alot of women from UK come to Greece for IVF as the private clinics have high sucess rates and are cheaper. If you (or anyone else) wants i can look into it. Two of Alex's friends are now pregnant after first IVF, ages 39 and 41.

Hearty thanks for always thinking of me babes! Im not doing so great but im trying. It doesnt help that i got into a massive argument with the big boss (owner) of the company i work for today. He is such an ass... I wont even go into it, it will just piss you all off.

 

[sugarlove]

It's nice to hear of other people's success stories. I think if I could just know that I would defo have a baby at some point, I would chill out but it's the unknown that stresses me.

Nato, great news that you're still in with a chance next month

Yes it was the private consultant who advised the lap and hysteroscopy as soon as I mentioned pain and spotting. It was also him who said if Mal's SA didn't improve, we could be going down the IVF route. I suppose I'm just preparing for the worst now just in case. Having said that, if his sperm is so shit, how come he got me up the duff in the first place

Nato, if you do pay private, don't expect a long appt. I was in exactly 28 minds, I counted! That for 190 quid, but I do feel it was worth it!

Alllie, I know you had bad news a while ago too. Have you made any decisions about what to do next hun?

Hi Cazza

I'm off to BD, Mal just came home!

Chat later x

 

[Jaymes]

Hey all, thanks for all the welcome backs! You all are great!

We did go to the Harry Potter Theme park, it was pretty cool, and the main reason we went there. It was incredibly crowded and the lines were very very long, but it was really cool!

 

[NatoPMT]

Hi Jaymes - glad you had a good time. Did you hear the Harry Potter gossip.

https://www.metro.co.uk/showbiz/848...daniel-radcliffe-in-secret-love-child-rumours

Hiya Vic, how are you getting on? We are missing you here so its lovely to see ya. If you want us all to start slagging off the boss, i am game. Lets verbally kick his head in.

I hadnt considered going abroad, but my friend is pregnant with a spanish donor egg. Its her baby shower soon, so i shall talk to her about it and see if its somert i could do. If it is, and you could help me work it out, i really would be very grateful.

Sugar, i agree, it cant be that bad if you got pregnant last time. The IVF might help shorten the wait, but you still have a chance every month like Allies cousin. My brother in law had a count of less than a million and needed ICSI, and you are way way ahead of that.

 

[LucyJ]

Nato sending you a massive so sorry the bitch got you and fuck to fosters I wish you could go with hubby but its good hes going a couple days later than planned fingers crossed.

Vicky its so lovely to see you to you thinking of you and I'm on board for giving your boss a verbal kicking!

Caz how are you and little one doing? Yeah last nights x-factor was good a double eviction fantastic.

 

[jenny25]

you know i have heard people talking about natural iui what do they mean that they do it themselves ? x

 

[Jaymes]

Nato, that is funny. I can't even imagine!

 

[prgirl_cesca]

Sorry AF came nato, I feel so gutted for you every month. I hope that doesn't sound patronising, more genuine after 'knowing' you for so many years now xx

 

[yogi77]

Hi Ladies, just catching up on my lunch break!

Nato I'm sorry about the stupid ho-bag Your posts today have made me laugh though, thanks! (sorry about your couch)

Mel I guess I was cheering for the ryders just so that they could win this time around because of the whole 13th man fiasco...but I'm generally not a football fan so I could care less!! Congrats on Montreal winning!!

Dazed you might want to stay away from me during 2ww too, I will only try to pressure you into POAS!!

 

[heart tree]

Hi Vicky thanks for checking in with us. If you want to tell us your jerk boss story I'm game!

at Sugar leaving us to go BD!

Jenny, at home IUI is kind of scary to me. You have to insert a catheter perfectly up your cervix and into your uterus. If you google at home insemination you'll get some info. I sometimes have Tim deposit his sperm into a cup and I use a needless syringe and/or a soft cup to insert it. But I don't use a catheter to bypass the cervix. Too scared.

I can't remember what the rest of you chattys were talking about so I'll go back and read. I did like the idea of a vacation to Greece with some cheap IVF involved!
