Well, today is 9dpo and the just found me
Another disappointment, but thanks to the kind words and support of you lovely ladies, I'm dusting myself off and gearing up hope for this next cycle. On the brightside, I guess I can look at this part of the journey as an opportunity to increase patience so that I'm a better parent...cause holy sh*t balls I'm gonna get one of those BFPs someday!

FX now crossed that November brings a more normal cycle as staring af this early is not something I want to become regular occurance. Thanks for the responses ladies...you're awesome You've definitely helped to improve my day

well that depends when I Ov, not sure if it was day 14 or 19. But today my temp dropped. It could be coz I stayed at my folks house and they don´t have a thick duvet like mine...but I think I´m out.

Nats honey .

My OH and I need to have a proper sit down discussion about TTC but I have psycho witch symptoms so I'm thinking today won't be a good day . I think I'm going to have to get all scientific on his ass and tell him that it's ok saying 'if it happens, it happens' but there are really only a couple of days a cycle it can happen. He likes charts and stuff so who knows.

Hugs all round for you ladies having bad days . TTC sucks the big one!

as you said, thankfully there is always a next cycle and with each new cycle new hope, so hold onto this, you're doing all the right things and you will get there!

peacebaby, i have read a number of your comments on this 35+ forum and just want to say i think you are so lovely. the way you say and how you put things is so sweet. big hugs to you and hope you get your BFP real soon but PLEASE stick around still. love your warmth and positivity.

 

[peacebaby]

oh dear, suma, your kind words have brought sweet tears to me. Thank you and I could certainly say the same about you .

In truth EVERYONE in this group is just so lovely and so supportive, like family. I am so glad I graduated here from the 'after a loss group', I love this group.

This may sound totally corny but I actually feel the joy and sadness of everyone facing the TTC challenge and I sometimes wish I really did have a magic baby wand like our baby dust fairy.

 

[Natsby]

Yeah I wish you had one too, well try it and we will see if it works? Nothing sensible I do has worked so far so now I´m willing to try anything.
Joking aside it is true this is a great forum to be in. Thanks gals!!

 

[readyformore]

Well, I didn't have necessarily have a 'bad day', but...........

I ran into my primary ob/gyn (she's the one that removed my ovary and tube). Love her. She asked how ttc was going. She knows about how I have gone back to my RE and have done femara and IUI.
We were talking about my fertility issues this time. How I have regular cycles, DH has good swimmers, etc.
She told me that I probably have the reproductive capability of someone that is 43-44! I'm 34. I tried to hide my shock when she said that. But, it definately threw me off balance.
I wasn't prepared for it.

Still not sure what to do with that info.

 

[Viking15]

Ready. I can't believe she said that to you. you'll show her!!!!!

 

[Natsby]

Ready, poor you! A friend of mine had a tube removed after her first. She then got pregnant again, (by mistake) but after her second they said the remaining tube wasn´t working well and she def wouldn´t have any more. So she wasn´t careful, her third is called Melody and is a very healthy 6 year old now.
Your ob didn´t say it wasn´t possible, she only thinks it might be more difficult, and I think you already know that. It wasn´t tactful but it doesn´t mean your out. It is also just a guess no one can know for sure. Chin up love it will happen.

 

[keekeesaurus]

Ready . How tactless! And what exactly are you supposed to do with that?

Sorry for being self indulgent but the booby swelling has gone down and I've taken the dressings off and....there is a real size discrepancy . The left one (normal breast that's augmented) is definitely bigger by a cup size or more than the right one (mastectomy and implant) and I'm a bit gutted. Bum, bugg3r, b0ll0cks. My lovely OH said he could tell just after the op but he thought that there might be some 'settling in' and that eventually the swelling would go down and they'd look the same. Damn. My follow up appointment is in 4 weeks so I guess I should just see what happens then and stop being such a drama queen. For some reason I'm finding this harder to cope with than having no boob and a concave chest .

Thanks for listening to everyone having a bad day...

 

[Natsby]

Oh Keekee what a horrid surprise! I wonder why that has happened? Is there any chance one may still have more swelling than the other? Or that you boob underneath the implant is changing size where as the other one won´t. Mine change size a lot through out the month, although I see you are cd five so I suppose that isn´t the right time for that. I hope you can get it sorted out at your next appointment. Can you call in advance and ask what they think?
Sending hugs and I hope the day gets better for you soon.

 

[dachsundmom]

Keekee...my cousin's left boob was almost a full cup size larger than her right one for 6 months...it took about that long for the swelling to go down and for the implant to find it's happy place.

Her surgeon told her to massage them everyday...I guess it helps.

 

[Desperado167]

Keekee ,my Sil had the same problem and it took four months for her swelling to come down and her breasts are now the same size ,maybe u could fon and speak to someone from the hospital just to reassure you ,it will all work out for you lovely ,gentle hugs ,

 

[Butterfly67]

keekee but I would say yes it is probably still early days for the swelling to go down completely. Good idea to try and get a phone consult but hope what the other ladies have said will reassure you a bit
