Jessie's Journey

[jessieles]

Hi Girlies. So af arrived on the weekend. I also had an appt with my obgyn, she said I have 3 cycles left on clomid and then she wants me to have my ovaries drilled, after this i will be on the waiting list for ivf. This all terrified me on Friday and I spent most of the day in a right mess. But after speaking to my mum and hubby, I feel a lot better now.

Our plan is to keep with the clomid for the next 3 cycles, stop opking, stop forcing sex when we arent in the mood and try to relax as i think the stress is going against me. Then we have decided if by Oct I am not preggers we will book a big holiday and hav a break and then come back and prepare for surgery. I am actually feeling quite positive about the future and now i need to accept i will get my bfp but it just may not be straight away!

How are you all doing? xxx

So sorry for AF Jess. Big hug to you. I was thinking about you this weekend.

You are right. Try to relax and not to have forced BD. I know its the most difficult part not to stress or obsess. I hope within next three cycles you get that most awaited super sticky BFP. Loads of love and luck to you dear. Be brave and be positive. I am sure BFP is so close to you.

 

[jessieles]

Thanks Pal!

How is your cycle going? xx

 

[fairyy]

Cd31 today. I think AF is due either tomorrow or Wednesday.

I'm so sorry af came Jessie

I really hope you get that bfp on the clomid but if not your plan sounds like a good one and break away will do you both the world of good.

 

[fairyy]

Hi Jessie. How are you ?

AF got me too yesterday.

 

[jessieles]

Awww Pal! r u ok?

Im on cd4 today so just plodding along!

 

[fairyy]

I am little behind you. Fertile window is a week away. Trying to relax and BD EOD in the fertile period. But TTC is always on my mind.

It is so hard to wait to ovulate then BD then again wait for two weeks only to get AF. But according to DH this is the first month of actual TTC. So he wants us to give it 6months at least. 1month down! This will be my second month on Duphaston.

 

[jessieles]

Hey Girls!

So today is my last day of clomid and im feeling quite positive about this cycle, im trying to think 'i will be pregnant in the next 3 months' rather than focus on right now. Our plan is just to bd often but not on a strict schedule like usual, no opking and trying to relax!

Pal- Trying to relax is so hard isnt it! Im really positive for you though and i think you dh is right, i have everything crossed for u!

Taz- how are you doing hun?

 

[fairyy]

Thanks Jess. I am trying not to think anything about ttc and all as of now. Will try to eod for that fertile week and then relax again. I will hope for the best but at then same time be ready to accept if its BFN.

 

[PrincessTaz]

I think that's a great mindset to have Jessie, I'm sure you will too. Good plan with the BD too, it's can't help when we're stressed and forcing it all the time.

I'm ok, I'm 13dpo but maybe less. Been getting evaps on frer for a few days but then today I possibly had something on a frer and an ic. So faint it's hard to tell if real or an evap though so waiting to see what tomorrow brings!

 

[jessieles]

Pal- that sounds like a good plan!

Taz- I will check your journal for an update now.

Ive left a message today for a fertility reflexology session this week, never had it before and thought it may help : )

 

[fairyy]

Fertility reflexology ...that sounds interesting.

 

[jessieles]

Well someone mentioned it to me over a year ago and i didnt take any notice but i found this online;


'An increasing number of women claim this popular type of foot massage has helped them conceive. Now a medical study has been launched to discover if the claims are true.
Reflexology, a traditional healing art dating from the ancient Egyptians and Chinese, involves manipulation of pressure points in the hands and feet and is often used to ease period pain, headaches, sinus and back problems as well as the effects of chemotherapy.
Practitioners claim the soles of the feet are like a mini map of the inside of the body and are linked to our inner organs and systems, including the fallopian tubes and ovaries. By massaging different points on the feet therapists claim they can unblock energy pathways in the body and so help the body to regain its natural balance and heal itself.
Some points on the foot are associated with a woman's egg production and by manipulating these areas reflexologists claim they can correct the imbalances which can hamper pregnancy'


So i thought what have i got to lose by giving it a go!

 

[Teeny Weeny]

That sounds fab Jessie. Definately worth a go. Do let us know what it's like, it may be something I will consider in a few months. Xx

 

[jessieles]

They couldnt fit me in until 22nd july i wanted it before o this month but ill have to wait now until my next cycle. but its something to aim for anyway!

 

[fairyy]

It seems good. Give it a try.But July 22nd is so far. No problem you relax this cycle and enjoy BD. Who knows you might not need reflexology and get a BFP this cycle.

 

[jessieles]

Fingers crossed, how are you feeling about your next cycle? xx

 

[fairyy]

I am not stressed as last cycle though not relaxed completely. But so far so good. AF is gone. So I am almost a week away from big "O".

 

[jessieles]

Yes im finding this 'relaxing' thing much harder than I thought!
