Early 30's TTC #1

Nothing much going on here. Just came in to check on my TTC and pregnant girls. :kiss:

Thanks for the affirmation, girls, it makes me feel much better. You should have seen me on Friday night. DH and I were BDing and I just wanted him to come inside me. I told him so. He pulled out. I must have cried for about 10 minutes after we finished. I cried hard. :cry: Poor soul. Sex and tears; its enough to make a guy's heart break. I just felt as if this was it. We had just given up the possibility of getting pregnant this month. I was devastated.

I am fine now. :blush:

The next morning DH says let's do it again and this time he won't pull out. I told him no. He had made the right call. We stand a far better chance of getting pregnant with IVF than by ourselves, and he and YOU girls are so right. I would be worrying constantly about the effects of lupron on our baby. :nope:

So, fingers crossed, when I go in for b/w this TH, they will tell me that I can start the lupron. I cannot believe that my worrying about IVF literally pushed my ovulation back by sooo many days! (At least 10!). That amazes me.

Oh, and MrsPTTC, DH gave me the option (earlier in the week) of having sex this cycle, but then waiting another cycle before starting lupron. I said I didn't want to wait another cycle (March) to try IVF. So....there you go. :shrug: And I went to that thread on the third tri., but got a message that I didn't have permission to see it! No loss, I hear! :haha:

Crumbs, THANK YOU so much for those words of encouragement. I might just print them out and post them on the inside of the front door to inspire me as I leave each day. :kiss:

Hopeful and Rosa, I posted in your journals today. Continue inspiring us TTCers, too! :hugs:
 
Soliel :hugs: Our poor Dh's - what they have to put up with. You have made the right call - but damn, what a tricky one. I dont know what I would have done.

AFM - I'm feeling better. Trying to ignore the AMh score as nothing I can do about it and I must trust the doctors that they will adjust my drugs accordingly and we will succeed. I had lunch with a RL LTTCer this week - made me feel less alone. Although she had done 5 IVf's - yikes!!!

Thank you BFPers for sticking with us and giving the rest of us hope :hugs:
 
Glad you are feeing better Mrsmax!

Soleil, it was a thread about a preggo girl who lived with her mum and wanted rid of her mum's cat. Some evil person even suggested she get rid of it behind her back. Funny thing was she was calling it as if it were a person, calling her an evil bitch! I mean WTF? All it was doing was nosing in the bags when she'd been baby shopping and trying to sleep in the moses basket - what do you expect when you leave the door open? It's a cat for goodness sake. I didn't comment on it but it was hilarious to read :haha:.

I am completely fed up :sad1:. Yesterday the beige CM started, only 6-8 DPO!! I haven't had it this bad on the clomid before, at least I don't think. And last month was great, only 2 days of pre AF spotting at 10-11DPO (though 11 day LP, not great!) I came downstairs and told DH I was going to consider myself out, he asked why, I told him, then he said he wished I hadn't told him!! :dohh: He "doesn't like" to hear about things like that - he's a wimp, he won't let me talk about AF either - and said he'd rather have kept on thinking we were in with a chance! :saywhat:. Anyway it didn't last long so I was hoping IB (can't believe I still fall for that one) but this morning it looks like AF is coming!! :hissy: If she does arrive I'm gonna email the FS as it'll be the 2nd 26 day cycle in a row and an LP of only 6-8 days! Now I think she's coming I just want it over with and on to the next cycle! I am really thinking IUI is my only chance, but we'll see...

MrsP - how bloody annoying!!! Def speak to FS if your LP that short. There is sooo mcuh that can be done to make it longer - you just need to get them to listen to you. Have you tried acupuncture? It is amazoing for sorting out your cycles. :hugs:
 
:wave: Hello? Where is everyone? Hope this means you are all busy having too much fun to hang out on BnB :)

It is Friday lunchtime here and I can't wait for the weekend - hanging out with hubby, seeing my mum and walks in teh countryside. It is my fertile time so lots of bding too - going to give this last chance before IVF our best shot :blush:

BTW - I have now not had any alcohol for a whole month!!!!!!!! That is a record for me. I havent had cheese or yoghurt or meat either!1 My eggs better be superb quality after all thsi sacrifice. I practically dream about red wine

What have you ladies got planned for the weekend?

Did AF arrive?
 
Sorry hun, missed your last post, no i havent tried accupuncture, I was wanting to but its so expensive & one of the girls in my spotting thread tried it & it made hers worse :shrug:. Hubby also doesn't believe in it so I've got no chance lol. No AF didn't come, spotting barely there, just off coloured cm, also had stabbing pains in right side yesterday. I still dont think its my month, but we'll see, all is not lost! :flower:.

A whole month off alcohol, well done!

Plans for weekend, I'm out for tea 3 nights in a row! I'll be like this :holly: by monday!

I've been crampy again today, sharp pains again but not as bad as thurs, but tonight I'm feeling AF cramps so have a feeling AF will show up tomorrow :( Had a heart to heart with DH last night, he's feeling a bit down and is impatient now, he's so ready for it. We discussed if in the worst case scenario maybe our egg & sperm aren't compatible. He said he'd be happy to get a donor if it came to it, I was shocked! :shock:. I never thought he'd go for that but I never really considered it, I thought adoption would be the last resort. I've explained IUI & IVF to him too x
 
SB, any news? O'ed yet??

Mrsmax, congrats on no alcohol! It was so hard to give up at first, and then I found that I didn't miss it at all. :thumbup: I don't crave it at all now, so that's good. Now cheese and meat on the other hand, is a completely different story. I have craved cheese to an unhealthy level like every day. :blush:

MrsP, so sorry you're having AF cramps. My dh was not cool with donor sperm, so more power to you! I said I was fine with donor everything, just wanted to carry the baby myself. He was very okay with adoption. I think maybe he didn't understand at the time how much it meant to me to actually carry the baby myself though. Do you think you'll start down the IUI train soon?

Afm, going to the gym today! (I've said that for the past hour and yet I remain attached to the couch! :rofl:) Haven't been in months, so I'm looking forward to it. Superbowl party tomorrow! :happydance: Go Giants!! (I'm more looking forward to the food...)
 
Hey MrsP - sorry cramps have arrived. I am sure you are too early to be thinking about donor stuff yet. I'm not sure I've even heard about eggs and sperm not being compatible???

Rosa - when I'm pregnant I will use it as an excuse not to do any exercise. Well done to you for keeping going. Hope all is well with babybump. I can't wait for the Superbowl tomorrow either - my DH and I have taken a days holiday on Monday so we can stay up late Sunday night to watch. The teams we support didnt make it so now DH is supporting the Giants (like you) and I'm supporting the Patriots - for no particualr reason other than I've always wanted to go to Boston!!!
 
ps Rosa - what food are you having at your superbowel party? (so I can live vicariously through you....)
 
:hi: ladies. :dust: , and H&H :cloud9: to you all.

I just realized I haven't posted in here for awhile. I have a lot of catching up to do.:coffee:

Welcome Dbluett! So great to see a new screen name around here. You will love this thread the ladies are the best support ever. Come back soon. :)

Soleil
sorry about the emotions of getting so close. I too hate to miss a cycle it's just something in the subconscious saying THIS IS OUR TIME. We must do everything in our power! However, it's okay to sacrifice for IVF. Praying this is it for you hun! You so deserve it. Can't wait until the day is yours.:hugs:

MrsPttc sorry about the cramps. Hope you are feeling better.:hugs:

MrsMax you are a true warrior! lol You are doing so well on your diet. I believe it will make all the difference in the end :thumbup::hugs:

AFm, dh has been pre-diagnosed if that's even a real term with Varicocele. He's giving another semen sample in order for his FS to diagnose Male factor. By the end of the month we should have answers for everything on his side.

I on the other hand am thinking about starting a LTTC journal. Today AF it's cycle 20 for us. In early August it will be (if no BFP which we are soo hoping is not the case) a full 2 years. So....I dunno. I kinda thought of it as bad luck for myself (only) but now I'm like I am not believing in superstitions. I think it's time for some extra support amongst other especially since I've been having more frequent break downs.
 
Regal :hugs: It is horrible when you realise you really are a LTTFC. I am on cycle 21 I think - started TTC May/June 2010. NOT looking forward to hitting that 2 year mark - you are in good company here though. I will def follow your journal if you start one.
 
Thanks. It is tough, but I have to put on my big girl panties. lol We started July/August 2010. Never in a million years thought we would be here, but I think victory will be that much more sweeter. Thanks for the early stalk :) I will post the journal link here. Also hang in there MrsMax. Our day is coming! It really is :)
 
:hugs: Regal. I was thinking whether to do a journal or not, but decided not, i don't think I could keep up with that & the other threads that I belong to.

Rosa, I'm not sure when we'll go the iui route but don't think itll be too long. I'm sure FS said 9-12 months post clomid so maybe they've got other tests to do if no BFP after 6 months.

Mrsmax, god yes some people are uncompatible & IVF fails as the egg fights the sperm off but I think its very rare!

Well, I don't want to gain TOO much baby weight. Plus, exercise is supposed to make your labor not so hard. I think the main reason is because it makes me happy. I know I'm a nerd, but working out really does put me in a good mood.

ps Rosa - what food are you having at your superbowel party? (so I can live vicariously through you....)

My friend is making a few kinds of chili. I'm bringing a buffalo chicken dip and my special brownies. HA! That makes it sound like pot brownies. :rofl: They're just brownies with Symphony bars baked in the middle. (Toffee/chocolate candy bars)
 
Rosa - yum. I was annoyed today so had a piece of cheese. Damn, it tasted good :blush:

DH and I have had a huge fight. Yesterday was O day and he went to watch rugby and came back drunk. He then fell asleep on the coach and was in no mood for bding. I got really stroppy and stormed downstairs - he promptly fell back to sleep. He said we could do it this morning instead - he was probably right, but I was so annoyed that I got up and left at 8am this morning. I went for a drive and out for breakfast.

I'm still annoyed, even though I know I am probably being unreasonable. God, I hate this. We hardly ever argue so it is horrid when we do and argue about sex just sucks :cry:
 
We have the same arguments Mrsmax, and that's DH's answer all the time - we'll do it in the morning... :dohh: x
 
Thanks MrsP. We sorted it out in the end with lots of hugs - we then got stuck into watching the Superbowl and all was good with the world. AF arrived yet?
