Early 30's TTC #1

[rosababy]

Thats great then Rosa! Shame non to freeze but you must have a good chance out of 3! When will you test? x

Thanks! I'm okay with it now. Doc said he would have waited until day 5 if it was my first round, but didn't want to chance it. Shame not to have any to freeze, but that's okay. Dh reminded me it saved us about $3000-$4000 out of pocket for freezing costs.

SB, sorry I scared you. I was just shocked that we didn't have more than 3 and I really wanted to have a 5 day transfer. It's okay though. My doc is still pretty optimistic. My journal has the entire bulleted list if you're interested. 3 is pretty good! Please pray for 2... doc said we are not allowed to say the word that starts with a T and ends in an iplet.

Sorry about your friend and the surprise shower. Sheesh. So done with FB. Be POSITIVE! Hopefully going deeper meant less for the to travel! Not sure if it really works that way, but it's a nice thought. Don't be worried about the bleeding. I'm sure it's fine. It's so hard to not be in control of ttc, isn't it? Especially hard working career women like us. It SUCKS. It's one of the biggest issues I've had with this whole thing. Giving up control and trusting God.

Rosa - Three put in. That's awesome. How many did you have last time? My hospital have a single embryo transfer policy so will only put one in I so hope this is it for you hon. When do you find out? Around New Year?

Got BFN again today, but am ridiculously relaxed about it. I just turned over and carried on reading my book. Looking ahead now to 2012.

Hope my lovely ladies are all ok. Christmas is just around the corner.

Thanks! We put 2 in last time, but the quality was worse last time. Plus, I found out I had thyroid and prolactin levels that were a big high last time. This time, I'm on meds for it, so hopefully that fixed it. My doc is a supporter of SET as well, but there is no country policy, so he's like let's just get you pregnant and pray for a single. I'm not sure when my testing date is. Probably Dec 30 or Jan 2. I'll find out on thursday at my u/s appt.


Mrs P, sorry about your friend irl who's due soon. I've got a few of those too. All of whom started ttc way after me. Sigh. It'll be our turn soon.

Ps. Where is hopeful? She's not been on for ages. Hope you're ok hopeful! x

She's taking a little break from BnB. I talked to her on FB and said we miss her. Hopefully she comes back soon.

Hi Mrs - yep, I know it's early so not worried. I start Clomid this cycle. Af due Christmas Eve so I my first one will be Christmas Day!! Hope I remember in all the festivites. You all ready for Christmas?

Hopeful is just taking a breather I think. Maybe she#ll be back with exciting news in 2012.... Hopeful x

Yay for clomid!! That's exciting! Sucks that AF will be due christmas eve though. Hopefully you won't need the clomid.

 

[Regalpeas]

YAY ROSA! I know you were disappointed, but 3 eggies back in is great. Awesome. Praying this is it hun.

Sorry about BFN Mrs.Max hoping it's too early. Glad you didn't let it get you down.



I agree Soleil we have to keep a positive mind!!! It's a challenge but we must.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Soleil – well done with the positivity! Have a lovely holiday

Mrsmax – Have you tested again? Your temps look fine after the drop yesterday! FX’d! God, due xmas day?? Bad timing or what but hopefully she won’t come & you won’t need the clomid! Yes I’m all ready for Christmas though I’ve had a stressful week trying to get everything sorted, wrapped etc.. and my xmas tree lights broke the other day! Are you all ready?

Rosa - $3-4k on freezing it?? Freezing how many? OMG I am shocked at the cost!

Regal, I love your “2012 year of the baby” ticker, I really hope it is for all of us!!

AFM – Waiting for my positive OPK, though it may not be for a few more days yet and I don’t think I’ll be lucky enough to get my + on CD14 as no hint of EWCM yet and I got it CD12 last cycle.
I had a mini breakdown before, I seem to be getting them a lot lately. I sent a christmas card to a lady who’s children I used to look after 8-11years ago. I was a nursery nurse for just over a year and started babysitting for one of the little girls who was at the nursery then her parents had a little boy. Anyway I stopped babysitting when I moved in with DH 8 years ago as it was too far to travel & we’ve kept in touch with Christmas cards ever since. This Christmas I said I’d love to see a photo of the kids to see how they’ve grown. They’re both gorgeous and the little girl who I looked after most looked so grown up, she must be about 12 or 13 now. I got a shock and it just made me cry, I feel so old and feel like my life is flashing before me. And still no . I guess if I had kids I wouldn’t feel as bad about getting older. I really need to stop getting upset over little things, if I didn’t know better I’d think I was pg! x

Hi Ladies

So, after being so relaxed this month I am now hitting the bottom. We had FS appointment yesterday to scehdule IVF and the consultant (different to our last one) said we weren't eligible for NHS funding and we have to pay. We have the money saved for one round, but the disapointment was intense. DH took it better than I thought, but it just seems like one more piece of cr*p news on this journey.

Also, I woke up at 4am with AF and bad period pains. It is now 5.30am, have given up on sleep and have just been crying for ages.

IVF FEb/March depending on funding (FEb if we pay), but I dont know how we got here. I dont have a lot of faith that IVF will work cause we dont know why we arent getting pregnant. It seems like IVf is just an expensive guess or punt.

I am trying to put on a brave face for Christmas and knowing you ladies and others are out there who feel the same is comforting a little.

Why is life so unfair?

to all. Am off to my brother's today so will be without FB. Will be thinking of you all. Try and have the best Christmas you can and pray this is the last without a baby or bump xx

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aw Mrsmax, so sorry things aren't going well I can't believe they've backtracked on the free IVF, it's so unfair, it seems a postcode lottery. Did you tell him the other consultant told you you're eligible? What did he say? Before IVF is there no more tests you can get done privately which would be cheaper than IVF? For instance I've heard there's a test they do to check your post BD CM to see it's mixing with the sperm properly? That's my biggest worry but I know it's very rare and IVF would overcome this. Have a wonderful Christmas! I'm babysitting my best friends baby/faux Niece today, she's 9 months and gorgeous. Our lab keeps trying to lick her though, I'm gonna need eyes in the back of my head when we have a family! x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Guess who just got a dark OPK on CD13!!! Thank you Clomid, earliest yet! I took an IC and the line was pretty dark, but threw away my sample before doing a digi. So I did a digi a couple of hours later and no smiley but I had a cup of tea in between and like I say it was only 2 hours time difference so maybe it was too dilute. I'll try again tonight but I've only got 1 digi left so not gonna waste it. I'm so pleased we BD last night! x

I know I've been quiet, but I'm still quietly visiting! I'm really hoping that a Christmas-New Year's miracle will happen to my fave bunch of girls!

As for me, I'm mentally preparing for a trip back to Sweden in a few days and hoping all goes well. I have the big scan (NT) scheduled the day after we arrive. Then we plan to announce.

 

[hopefulmama2b]

Hi guys- I took a little R&R from TTC. I hope you all are doing well.

I've been waiting to say this for a while now-

I'm up the duff! For those that like pics- see my journal.

UP the duff!!! Love it! Congrats again, hun.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Hopeful!!!!!!!! Brilliant news!!! I'm so pleased for you! Are they going to monitor you more closely this time? Happy Christmas to you!! x

Crumbs, I can't believe you've got your 12 week scan already! What day will it be? How exciting! And can I just say I love your siggie with our names in, so sweet x

 

[MrsPTTC]

So my OPK's have gotten lighter so I think I missed my smiley on the first lot of pee I threw out yesterday as I'm sure the lines were dark enough for a +! I've had NO EWCM this month though, despite upping my EPO (though I think this takes a few months to kick in) but I guess yesterday and today it's hard to tell as I use sperm friendly lube. I'm likely to ovulate today or tomorrow, FX'd for a Christmas Conception! x

Merry Christmas everyone and hope 2012 brings everything you dream of x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Sorry for the multiple posts but I'm so excited! I went to the loo again not even 3 hours later and I got my definite + on the IC & smiley face on the digi!! . But now I'm wondering, was my pee too dilute yesterday or have I ovulated/will I ovulate twice?! (Clomid twins or twice the chance of a BFP??) Happy bunny either way, we BD this morning and will again tomorrow & monday just in case! x Oh and I had another wobble last night and got upset, DH thinks I am mad lol! x

 

[pink80]

Yay for the +opk go get that eggy!!!
