Early 30's TTC #1

[rosababy]

Oh and how frustrating having EWCM and not being able to DTD!! x

I KNOW!! And so much of it! And 2 days of it! Grrrrr....

Isn't it frustrating when doctors are not concerned about the things that we're concerned about?! I'm like BUT DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME? Oh well. I guess they're the professional.

We're going to Canada and New England.

Well, i guess i'm on to cycle 9. We're officially at a year from when we started trying. Totally depressed.

I'm sitting here fighting the urge to buy these super-soft bath towels in the perfect shade of pink with white stripes and little dots on the border. I wanted them when I first saw them at the store but fought the urge so I bought them in green (as guest towels) but now I found them online and man, I really want them ... for our future baby girl ... argh!

at you Crumbs! I was wanting to accessorise our bathroom with bright pink, then decided against it as we’d love a son and I don’t think a boy would be very impressed with pink! I was browsing nursery furniture and prams on the internet yesterday! x

Ladies - hope you are well

Just wanted to let you know I got my bfp - got a feint positive on a FRER yesterday at 10dpo and got a darker line this morning - feel really scared and worried but trying to be as positive as I can about xxx

Hope you don't mind me posting

Brilliant news Pink. Happy and healthy 9 months to you.

 

[MsJMouse]

That cruise sounds like great fun Rosababy - have a good time. Bummer about the EWCM - but I can understand your thinking. Hopefully not long till you get that BFP.

MrsPTTC and Aisak - I think a lot of us on this thread at or just passed the year mark - I know I past it a month or so ago - it sucks. We will get our sticky

baby to us all.


AFM - decided this month to wait a bit later in the month before starting DTD every other day as I seem to Ov around day 19-21 so no point in starting at about cd10. Can't say I have much PMA for myself at the moment so just plugging along and looking into what fertily specialists are around our area.

Happy monday everyone.

Congratulations Pink!!

 

[mrsmax]

Pink - Yay!!!!!!! That is awesome news. Please dont be worried about posting BFPs here - I am hoping one day we will all be posting them. They just give me hope. Wishing you the best - please please keep us posted!

Rosa - have a great cruise.

I am taking things easy this month and have an interview and stuff so not aroung BnB so much - but will be back xx

 

[MrsPTTC]

Thanks MsJMouse!

Good luck to everyone. I'm due AF today but no show so far, BFN's on an IC and superdrug test so I think I'm out (approx 13DPO but don't know exactly as I stopped temping this month ) Sending you all lots of sticky xx

I just realized that if I'm not pregnant by this month, I won't be in my early 30's anymore And although there's still some time (my goal was to have a baby before my 35th birthday) ... now I'm really pushing it.

What's really in the back of my mind is our trip back home for the holidays. A friend of mine already called dibs on throwing me a baby shower but I'm not sure if I'll even be pregnant by December She didn't know we had a trip planned so she didn't mean to rush me or anything, just that she wanted to say she'd love to throw it whenever we're back home.

But the problem is, this may be the only time! If we're not pregnant by the holidays, we're not taking another vacay until a year later, then there's planning it during the 2nd trimester. It occurred to me that it might, in fact, take that long to be KU but I refuse to consider it.

I know it's not all or nothing but it kinda feels that way right now. I guess we can always take an early vacay if we don't manage to get pregnant by Dec but get pregnant shortly after. But then there's the having a baby before I'm 35 thing. Sigh. OK, rant over!


I'll be checking up on you gals often. I wanna see another from our group! I can not think of a better deserving bunch of women. Seriously, if I didn't have you gals, I don't know what I'd do!

i just got back from the doctor. DH was gettting the run around about SA from the military doctors. They wanted a referral from my doctor. My doctor was kind of confused by this whole gong show too. Now i have to get the # for the doctor my DH saw, leave a message with my Dr. so he can call DH's Dr. and get the referral going, if that makes any sense.

i apologize if this next bit is TMI...The doctor is referring me to a gynecologist for a lap. Since i've been off the pill (4 years) my periods have been come increasingly painful again. (i was put on the pill at 18 to deal with painful periods). i only ever used to have pain on CD1, but now i'm in pain for 2 days. i've always had fairly light/moderate periods but they seem to be getting heavier. i bled through a tampon and liner within a couple hours this cycle - very unusual. i've also noticed that i'm passing quarter sized clots and it hurts to go to the washroom during those 2 days. (Strangely enough, my periods are still fairly short. i only seem to have a couple days of actual flow, then by day 4 it's spotting at best)

All this coupled with my constant bloating/constipation/"IBS" makes the doctor suspect i have endo. It's what i've been worrying about - part of me wanted to hear that all of my symptoms were normal and nothing to be concerned about. However i kind of want the lap to figure out what the hell is going on and if there is endo, clean it up. Maybe it would solve some of my intestinal woes, which would be awesome.

hun, your AF's sound awful!!! I didn't realise endo was linked to IBS etc.. I don't really have any endo symptoms except spotting during the LP (if that even is a symptom!) but I dont have the best digestive system shall we say I'm strangely looking forward to my HSG now that AF has arrived. x

I don't think I can ever leave this thread! I just meant that I have more time now to check often I'm literally checking regularly for more BFPs on here!

We're on our 9th cycle now. My bday is on Sept 1st, turning 34 ... yikes! We booked a short weekend getaway to Uppsala, I want to visit a botanical garden there. It'll be my first time going, although it's not far - about a 4 hour train ride from me.

I knew I got it wrong but wanted you to confirm! Phew thank goodness. Even if I'm still TTC in 5 years I think I belong here and it's nice to chat and keep in touch I'm addicted to the internet on my phone and I'm always checking the threads I've joined, but rarely scan the TTC forums now, and don't even get me started on the 2WW! It was doing my head in at the weekend, every thread is the same! I think I've been on BnB to long lol. That sounds a nice trip hun, hope you have fun. When you due to test? Hope you get your bday ! x

 

[Aisak]

Anybody heard from Arianne?

 

[MrsPTTC]

So I've just got my HSG appointment! It's next wed. On the down side my DH said to me this morning he doesn't think I'll get pregnant!
