Hello, I'm very new to Baby and Bump, and boy am I happy to be here! Everyone at my local toddler group seems to be falling pregnant so easily and asking me when I'll be having another one, just wanna scream "stop asking me that, I've been trying for a year and nothing!!" So frustrating.
Sorry to moan, but just about had enough of not knowing whats going on.
 
No call from clinic guys so on to waiting for witch again. I just wish my cycles were shorter. Won't get witch again till nov 26!!!!!! So far away!
 
Sorry all - feel like blah-ing a bit today....

Hi Newbie :wave:

Kelly - Sorry for a dumb question. What is the period hotline (haven't heard of this yet)? BTW good luck with exams.

Mrs_N/Cazd/Peekaboo - Hope you all have had a fun week waiting for the big OV. I definately feel impatient (watching for a full moon :winkwink: )

Now for the big blah - feel free to skip....

Had my HSG today ... oowww. Well slight groan at least. Got to wear a pretty pink gown and enjoy someone flashing a torch at my other regions - hmmmmm... They were right that it felt like period pain... but no one gave me a hotwater bottle or chocolate!!!

Results were good apparently - I forgot to wear my contacts so couldn't see the screen. Dr said tubes where clear.... so Un-explain infertility still. No pain after the test though - went out for a few wines - so all good.

Now for DH third SA... then IVF.
 
Hi all, Winks glad your HSG was ok (despite the cramping) - at least the results were great.

The full moon thing sounds quite interesting! Perhaps we'll all OV together!! Hope one of us will catch the egg this month - would be great PMA for the rest of us. Anyone feeling positive?!!!

I've done all I can this month so if I have no luck then I'm just gonna have a month off to enjoy getting ready for Christmas - and having a few 'pops'!! x
 
Heya Newbie !
You've found the right place to moan!!! We're all going through it too - there's nothing worse than everyone else talking babies when you've been trying for so long - a year on must be so frustrating :hugs:

Mrs N - the next full moon is 5/6th November - I'll be leaving my curtains open on both those nights!

Glad that the HSG went well Winks - good news that your tubes are clear.
Bad news that you're still 'unexplained' though
:muaha:

Did I tell you that I spoke to the hospital yesterday and my HSG hasn't been booked yet. Now I'm defo not going to have it before our FS appointment. BOOO

Kelly - your cycles are epic - 26th Nov is such a long way away.....
 
I reckon chances are the one month I ov early will be this one, because I am on nigths this coming week then I'm away for the weekend!
 
:rofl: epic! They're only 33 days. Thats 5 days longer. I O on cd 19 and get period on cd15 or 16. My Lp is long, Why couldn't i Have a shorter length!

The period hotline is what the fertility clinic I am going to calls it. We're on the wait list to start ICSI so every cd1 I call in the start of my period as do all others. Then they compile a list and the top 25 who have been on the list the longest get offered treatment for that week. The waiting time is about 2 to 4 months so I still have another month or two depending on the list.
 
eugh - a waiting game like that - you could be well into 2010 before you get any progress - :growlmad:
 
:hugs: kelly, here's hoping you get in soon :hugs:

high on my cbfm today :happydance: bring on the :spermy: :rofl:
we had a bit of an emotional one yesterday - dh came home and said that his colleague has announced his wife is 14 weeks pregnant. hubby said of course he was happy for them but he could have cried. that went straight through my heart!
 
oh - its just horrible isn't it... a baby announcement should be a happy thing but when you've been TTC for a while it just makes you cry!

Lovely that your man found it hard though - shows he's really in it with you xxx

And yay for early Ov - keep those curtains open from now on!

Kelly - sorry for being so persistently stupid - I've got it into my head that your cycles are v long - No idea why - I did that before too didn't I! :dohh:
 
Thats ok cazd, I was thinking it was weird 33 days isn't that bad. :rofl: although what I would do for a 24 days cycle at this point or less. I just don't want to wait till the 26th of nov to call again it's so far away.
 
:hi: Just popped in to say hello

Cazd - how HSG tests are scheduled must be different in the UK. I hope yours comes through asap. Even better if this OV was the one!

Kelly - thanks for the explaination. The waiting, hmmmm... feels like all we do in this TTC world. Good luck with this months phone calls.

Mrs_N - Keep those curtains open! I'm going too - (Here's hoping the neighbours aren't looking).

Peekaboo - yes Christmas. I'm having next month off too if this ones a flop. DH will be away anyway.

Hi Newbie :hi:
 
I had my curtains open last night and I think the full moon is today!
My temps went up this morning so I reckon it might've worked.

Still got ov pains but EWCM has gone watery the 2ww is round the corner :happydance:

Hope you guys make it this time round - skipping a month'll be a LONG wait - but I suppose Xmas is a nice distraction xxx
 
The only thing that has kept me somewhat sane is being so busy with school and knowing we're in the last portion of the waiting game. Cause the next wait we will have once we get our call is to find out whether it worked or not.

Well I won't be on for a day or so, I have to study. 2 finals one mon one tue.
 
Hi all, hope you all had a good weekend. Its starting to get harder to keep up with everyone on here - what stage everyone's at, where they are in cycle etc!

I'm still waiting on OV at the moment. Bought some OV sticks so gonna give one a try today. I''m hoping its too early as DH isn't here for a couple of days, so I really want OV to wait until later in the week. I've been stuffing myself with EPO capsules and grapefruit juice but it doesnt seem to have made any difference which is really annoying :growlmad: I was really hoping to have some EWCM this month but maybe its still gonna come but just not the right time yet.

What does everyone reckon is the best time to use an OV stick (I mean what time of day)? The instructions say between 10am and 8pm. I was thinking maybe mid afternoon after holding my pee for a while.

x
 
Heya - hope the egg stays in for a while then - so you can catch it later in the week!

Re OPKs - I reckon around 4pm is the best...
I'd say its best to not drink anything after lunch and hold your pee 'till 4pm if you can and test then.
or... until you can't hold it any more!
 
Oh god, I'll never make it to 4pm! I pee quite often anyway (sorry TMI!) as I drink lots of water, so I usually go about every hour! I'm gonna see how long I can hold out! Have you OV'd yet?
 
hi there everyone....well ive just done my tesco online shopping & bought another clearblue opk.....hoping that if i do it this mth with the follicular scanning im having done i wont miss when i ovulate!!! I did them for 6 mths from jan-june & always got surge on day 16 but wondering if it may be later this mth coz im on my 1st cycle of clomid??? Wish it was wed so i could see if the follicules have grown or not...all this waiting i just hate lol....
just worked out that if i dont conceive this mth then im not gonna be preg 4 xmas :( will be due on around boxing day...spose i could try 1 of those early testing kits.....soooo would love a BFP 4 xmas.....we will have been ttc for 16 mths then :( xx
 
Hiya dancingkaty, how are you finding the clomid? Hope you get that xmas BFP! I'm always working things out like that but try not to if I can as it can get depressing. I've already been thinking ahead and thinking I need to get BFP before March in order to have a baby by next xmas! How bad is that - I feel like I'm thinking my life away! x
