[aneageraussie]

hello all,

Diana- welcome back ... i msure there must be lots to catch up after 1 week of MIA... good luck with your FS appointment... i will go back few pages of this thread just to update myself about how far are you with all FS appointments...

jen - i hope CBFM will help you to catch that damn eggie this time.. fxed for you hun..

cazd - i hope u having a nice time in spa and drinknig wine.... drink as much as u can .. who knows thats the last time u having one for next 9-10month or so...

 

[Kelly9]

I'll be drinking lots tomorrow! I'm having a big b day bash with a friend whose b day is the day before mine, we'll be 25 her on sun me on monday! Eekkk!!!! I never pictured myself being 25 how weird is that? Bring on the liquid panty remover!!!! (to bad I am not ovulating, it's gin for those who don't know what panty remover is!).

 

[Mrs_N]

I have never heard of gin being called pant remover
happy birthday in advance Kelly! I turned 25 in May, it's a wierd feeling - definately 'mid-twenties' rather than early twenties!

 

[cazd]

girls - wait 'till you hit 30 !!!!
honestly - its literally all downhill from there - saggy skin and random grey hairs - all over!
Mid-20s is such a fabulous time

Just got back from Manchester and we didn't get to use the spa bit - RAC nightmare + then OH put petrol in our diesel car so £150 later and we were on our way!

Its nice to be home now - we've got some wine and a takeaway menu so that's us set for tonight.

I'm so glad to hear 2 reports on the HSG - I've already got a sensitive cervix 'cos of the colposcopy I had done when my "abnormal" smear came back when I was 18 yrs old. - it was just 'immature' so the cells were odd - but I've suffered with it every smear since. Kelly - it sounds awful !!!
I'll be keeping my hopes up for a result like aussies!

Guess I'll properly dose up on painkillers when I have that done - I've got a spare diazepam!

Ta for the infor on IUI - that sounds perfect for me!
washed and everything !

Can't wait to hear how Diana's appointment goes next week....

 

[Kelly9]

yes drug up if you can cause if you're like me and it sounds like you are then you're in for a world of hurt. SOrry!!!!!! I don't wish it on anyone but it's better to be prepared. Try and focus on your breathing so you don't hyperventilate like I did! It will make it easier.

 

[Diana_]

Jen, any news on your eggy? Hopefully you'll be getting peak soon! FX!

Kelly, I hope DH gets better soon. At least it's not contagious. Any idea how long it will take to get better? And a happy late b-day! Was the party a blast?

Cazd, it sounds like HSG is going to be extra horrible for you. Valium is a good call!

Has everybody else had a nice weekend?

DH and I had a big family BBQ, which was really fun. Nothing else too exciting, but definitely relaxing. On the TTC front, I feel really useless because I thought I'd O'ed, but now I don't think it's happened yet. But I don't know. I've decided I'm getting monitoring next time because my body just doesn't like to O.

 

[cazd]

Diana - you don't think Ov has happened yet? when would you normally expect it to happen? Are you gonna get cheapo opks or a full on CBFM?

 

[Kelly9]

Actually DIana it's my b day today! So thanks! I am 25. It will take about 6 to 8 weeks to clear up but he already looks better so probably over the worst. The party was a wicked blast, had to discard my temp on sunday cause of all the alcohol I had, it was super high. I was lucky and wasn't really hung over either which is great cause I had to work the next day!

Hope all is well with everyone!

 

[cazd]

oooh - HAPPY BIRTHDAY

and its still pre-ov so I'm sure a little b-day would be OK !!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Kelly9]

lol already beat you to the drinking part, has a big party on sat and drank soooooo much it was fun! Will have some wine today or tomorrow since it's also our 1st wedding anniversary tomorrow and DH and I saved a bottle of wine from our wedding night.

 

[cazd]

wow - that's lovely! its all coming at once.

Hmm - now why isn't there a smiley for liquid pant remover

 

[Diana_]

Kelly, sounds like a great b-day blast! And congratulations on your anniversary! That's so sweet, a bottle from your wedding.

Diana - you don't think Ov has happened yet? when would you normally expect it to happen? Are you gonna get cheapo opks or a full on CBFM?

This is my confession as a poor TTC-er. With Clomid, my cycles are more regular, but not really great. Round 1, no O, round 2 CD 20, round 3 CD 23. Follow the pattern and it should have happened CD 25 to CD 26. The doctor told me it would be around CD 20 again. I used CBE OPKs until CD 21 (so of course there was no O at CD 20). Anyways. Useless. When I don't take Clomid, my cycles are so variable (my mc had a CD 35 O), I don't chart because it would only be frustrating.

Anyways, the doctor will tell me tomorrow what we should do. And I think O may have been yesterday. My doctor wants to see O before CD 21, so FX this is my last Clomid round.

 

[Diana_]

Just to let you all know, my dr appointment went well . After it's clear how long this cycle has been, we'll decide to go on with Clomid (if O happened around CD21 or sooner) or to look at either ovarian drilling or injectables . Neither really nice options (surgery or needles ), but my doctor is recommending the surgery as a good option. Still need to ponder things, especially because I think O was closer to CD 25 or 26 than 21.

 

[Kelly9]

Gin is the liquid panty remover not pants! although I guess they have to come off first! hahaha.

Anniversary was great although we didnt drink the wine yet! We aren't huge wino's but ended up forgetting then hitting the bed for some loving so it was to late then.

 

[cazd]

wow - foregoing wine for some rumpy pumpy! FAB !!!

Diana - ovarian drilling sound a bit... erm... dramatic! and I thought the HSG was bad

Glad the appointment went well though - did you get any kind of confirmation on O date?
(love the sig btw!)

 

[Kelly9]

Cadz looks like we'll be O'ing right around the same time! We can buddy up! I normally O around cd19 so in about 6 days time unless I fire early this month.

 

[aneageraussie]

hello ladies- sorry MIA for past few days... have written my rant in my journo..

Cazd and Kelly- i hope u girls have Bded enough for this cycle... go swim swim...

Diana- Glad appointment went well and i hope u and ur doctors make decision which way will u go.

good luck girls xxxx

 

[cazd]

ooh - OK - I'll have to go check out your journal....

I'm on the verge of Ov time - I'm so excited - I really hope we can do it without intervention - this is our last OV before FS!

I've got oodles of CM - just waiting for a nice soft CP and we'll be ready to go.
starts tonight....

Oh - and a few ladies have said that FS don't like charting - think they prefer CM as a guide - Not sure how I'll cope with not temping - I forgot to do my temp this morning and I've been kicking myself all day about it.
Imagine being told no FF

 

[Kelly9]

you could always do it anyway and say you didnt, I would be lost without temps cause my cm doesn't change much when I ovulate it increases in amount but stays kinda watery kind ewcm which make it much harder to pick out the difference between ewcm and creamy.

 

[cazd]

yeah - I think I'd do that - its so easy to miss the signs - I think I'd probably carry on CM checking even if I was PG!
