Early 30's TTC #1

[Crumbs]

MrsPTTC, I love Turkey! We spent our honeymoon in Fethiye at the Hillside Beach Club - the views are amazing, not to mention the desserts!

 

[rosababy]

Oh and Rosa I'm going to Turkey for a week, all inclusive 5*, can't wait!! x

Wow, never been to Turkey! I honestly don't know anything about that country. Have fun!

 

[hopefulmama2b]

I caved and had a mojito on my B'day (and a little bit of DH's drink, too) Got to live it up and even if I did get pregnant this cycle, there's no way the embryo implanted yet. So I'm fine.

I am officially tired of sex. Glad to take a break for a few days now that I have O'ed (according to temps at least).

Susan - I hope all is well! and I encourage others to read The Alchemist as well!

Must dash, but baby dust to all!

X

Soliel! Good to hear from you! I managed to keep myself away from the booze. I was inspired by BnB! I did have a mini mimosa at breakfast on Sunday though. YUM!

Rosa- That is hysterial!! Hope all goes as well with the poking as Dh thinks it will!! I havent cried in ages over TTC and yesterday I started crying out of nowhere. Luckily I have my own office so I could shut the door - but wham those tears just started.

I havent met one of my friends babies yet. Mostly I can cope, but hers happend by mistake and she drank and smoked all the way through the pregnancy and I cant "forgive" her for getting pg doing that while I am taking every supplement known to man.

However, we are going to visit DH's friend and wife who have a one month old on Sunday. I think I will be ok with that as she is pretty cool and i cant imagine her bieng all mumsy.

Happy friday ladies!!

BTW hopeful said a while back as we have been friends so long on this thread and share so much, if anyone wants to be friend on FB just email me and I'll give you my details. Obviosuly no TTC talk on TTC EVER!!. I have friends all ovre the world so no one will think it weird.
What's everyone up to this weekend?

I still have yet to receive my friend request from you. How did it go hanging out with the babe on Sunday? I'm glad to hear that your appointment went well. It's good to get the ball rolling just in case!

I am actually going to bite the bullet and catch up with my very pregnant friend this weekend (she is having her baby in mid oct). Admittedly it is at another friend's house but there will only be the three of us, our hubbys and my friend's two little girls.

Surprisingly I am actually feeling more at peace with TTC (at the moment) following my EDD passing. I just feel that it will happen when it is meant to and me stressing over it isn't helping. But lets wait to see how I feel once I am truly in this month's TWW (I am currently 2dpo - just waiting for FF to agree!).

Happy Friday. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

How did it go with your pregnant friend. I hate to say it, but I can't stand hanging out with preggos. I feel bad because I've missed out on function, but whatcha gonna do? Oh well... Hope the 2ww is going well.

T

I've got my FS appointment on Wednesday to find out blood test results (I know HSG was clear) and what happens next. I'm really nervous - DH is coming with me this time at least x

Good luck with your appointment!!! FX!!

Oh and Rosa I'm going to Turkey for a week, all inclusive 5*, can't wait!! x

How fun!!! I still haven't made it across the pond yet...


AFM- I just had the shortest cycle. 21 days. O on 10 and 11 day LP. I hope O doesn't happen earlier than 10 this month. If so, I'm supposed to call the doc.

 

[hakunamatata]

So I got the invite to the baby shower, do I be a good friend and go or be a crappy friend and bail?

 

[MsJMouse]

Hmmm that is a hard question.

I thought I was okay with seeing my friend on the weekend but everytime she brought up something to do with her baby I really didn't want to hear it. I kinda wanted to say could you please stop with the baby talk you know what happened to me this year!! But I kept quiet as I don't want to alienate my friend as she is a good friend. But I went home and felt like I had been a crap friend cause I probably came across a bit cold.

Anywhere in Europe sounds great to me. Have a great trip.

 

[Aisak]

So yet another person at work is pregnant...and just returned from a previous mat leave. This girl has pcos yet still managed to conceive faster than my sorry ass. It's nice that she didn't have to struggle for the second but the thought of watching (two) bumps expand every day at work makes me feel desperately sad. i just want this to be over already.

 

[Crumbs]

FF, you're so cruel to me. I went from a great intercourse timing score to a low one. Took away my triphasic commentary only after one day and totally changed my O date. And it was the very 1st time I had both. Boo!

Oh well, I started with this cycle thinking it was anovulatory. It's probably a good idea to knock the hope out of me before I get any ideas.

I know I haven't been on much lately but know I'm still pulling for all you ladies. I come on here waiting for someone to get knocked-up

especially to those that's recently done HSG or IVF!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aw boo Crumbs! Have you thought of using opk's? Well when Im on holiday I'm going to a place called Turtle Beach where all the turtles lay their eggs - I'm hoping it might bring me some luck lol x

I have a bunch of cheapy opks hidden somewhere in the bathroom. I never got into POS, it always stressed me out so I stopped ... maybe it's time to give it another try!

Nope. Do what's best for you. I've stopped going to them. It's too hard.

Ugh. I'm so sorry. That is so hard, I totally know what you feel like. It'll happen for you, hun. Just give it time.

Crumbs, sucks that FF is doing that! What makes you think it was annovulatory? I keep waiting for someone to get lucky on here, too. It's been a while!

 

[Soleil Breeze]

Who else is with me right now? Around about the same time in the cycle?

I am emotional today. I cried this morning (just a little in bed; woke up with a "woe is me" attitude) and then that damn Adele song came on my tunes and that was it - I cried again. Adele's "we could have had it all" is basically the song I was listening to when I first found out that baby wouldn't make it. I used to sob uncontrollably when I'd listen, then I thought I got over it, but, being the emotional basketcase that I am today, guess it got to me again. I would have been five months tomorrow. And now I'm just in another 2WW.

Hakuna - think of yourself as being a GOOD friend if you don't go to the shower. If you have negative energy, it will be felt, and no one wants that at their baby shower. If, however, you think you can handle it, go for it! Think happy thoughts! Just like MsJMouse, I've avoided someone over the past few months. I had what I thought was a good friend. I told her that things weren't going well with my pregnancy and she never reached out to me to see how I was doing. She came to the city with her boyfriend and me and DH met up with her. She was like, "Haven't heard from you in ages!" I think I acted fine. Told her that I obviously wasn't pregnant anymore. Not even an "I'm sorry." I get that people find this sort of thing difficult to deal with, but get over yourself. Reach out. Say you're sorry and mean it. Sometimes others really need it.

Enough of my negative energy, ay!?

By the way ladies, I thought that I'd have a problem seeing friends' babies and I didn't in the least. Nothing. Maybe because they weren't my own? What I'm saying is, give yourself a chance with other people's babies. You might surprise yourself.

MrsPTTC - that's a really great thing that your tubes are open!

Aisak, my friend, '

Rosa - yeah for those injections! go girl! and go DH!

xx

 

[MsJMouse]

Who else is with me right now? Around about the same time in the cycle?

I am 7dpo too today. Trying not to get my hopes up though but I can't quite silence that little voice in my head saying it is looking positive

 

[MsJMouse]

Aisak - sorry to hear that. It is hard when it is at work cause you can't get away from seeing it happen.

Crumbs - don't you hate it when FF does that. Just when you think that you are in with a good chance it goes and changes things

So this month I ovulated earlier than I am aware I have before. Almost missed dtd at the right time as I was expecting it to occur around day 19-21 and it happened on day 17 - would have been annoyed with myself if that had happened!!

Happy wednesday everyone.

 

[mrsmax]

Soleil/MsJ - I am 9DPo so just a little ahead of you guys. Feeling a bit positive too - actually took an IC this morning. Was BFN of course, but so early I'm not worried. Fingers crossed for all of us.

I agree with waht Soleil says about babies - I dont mind them, it is pregnant people I dont like seeing. I read a couple of great books recently about TTC that made me think you can be a bit slefish - dont go to a baby shower if youre not up to it. Big deal. I recommend Bump n Grind - cant remember the author but it is really funny book about TTC!

Happy Wednesday all xx

 

[MrsPTTC]

Crumbs - was just thinking OPKs would've been very interesting for this cycle! I need to buy some more but then I'm wondering whether I should bother at all & just BD .

So I'm waiting for my FS appointment & I'm crapping myself....DH told me he couldnt come with me last night as he 'forgot' & arranged a meeting at work. I'm not impressed to say the least & got upset last night. Men! Even dreamt about my appointment & that he wouldn't do anything to help me. I keep thinking what if my tubes are clear but they found something else & didn't want to tell me at the time, but I know I'm being pathetic LOL. Good luck to you ladies in the 2ww x

 

[MrsPTTC]

So not the news I was expecting, I think I'm in shock... No ovulation last month! I said "but I temp & it confirmed ovulation" and he says temping is a load of rubbish, there's so many things that affect your temperature it's the worst way to check for ovulation. So that's my thermometer going back in it's box! Due to my longer cycles and the crap progesterone levels he says he has evidence of "irregular ovulation" and is putting me on Clomid for 6 months and we're doing follicle tracking next cycle. He said if I wanted to we could just do the follicle tracking & see what happens but suggested I start the Clomid right away. I was sooo not expecting that and have had a little cry. He said the Clomid has 25% chance of twins, I knew it increased your chances but not by that much! When I told DH on the phone he went very quiet - neither of us want twins, but especially not him, he doesn't know how we'd cope. Anyway, we're gonna have a chat about it tonight. I just think if I don't start it now it's delaying things even more. I had a feeling they'd give me Clomid anyway as they hand it out like sweets but to be told no ovulation is a kick in the guts xx

 

[mrsmax]

Massive hugs MrsPTTC. I know it sound trite, but actaully that is one of the quickest, easiest an dcheapest things to cure and least intrusive.

Dont worry about the twins thing - it doesnt give you a 25% chance of twins, just a 25% increased chance which is very different.

 

[mrsmax]

So - I'm going to put it out there and take the fall - I "feel" pregnant this cycle. I just do. I have only felt this about 3 cycles and all of them I wasnt, so my hopes arent up too much. Basically, I feel really bloated (did feel like that when got my BFP) and a bit "happier" and lots of CM and gas!!!

I would still be shocked to get my BFP but I'm going to enjoy the thought that this might just be my cycle.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Good luck mrsmax!! FX'd for you. When are you testing again? Yeah I know what you mean, its probably better to be not ovulating but have eggs there than have something physically wrong. I'm probably being thick but not sure what you mean about increased chance, so what would that make actual odds be? My leaflet said 2 in 1200 chance normally & 1 in 150 on Clomid x
