Today i found out my SIL is expecting #4.... unplanned and they are still in shock! I'm happy for them but gutted it's not me

I went looking for my horoscope for this month in a vain attempt to find some hope from somewhere... here are some extracts!!

I so hope this is a good sign!

Pop the champagne, dear Pisces! Some amazing changes are taking place in the heavens, now that Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, just recently moved into Cancer and your fifth house of true love, children, and creativity.

This benefic planet, Jupiter, is set to stay in this part of your chart for nearly thirteen months, until July 16, 2014. This has to be reason to celebrate! It matters not what your marital status happens to be, for every Pisces, of every birthday, will partake of this wonderful trend.

Not only will Jupiter enliven your love life, Jupiter will also bring blessings for conception / pregnancy or to the children you have now.

Do you long for a baby? Jupiter can see to it that you are buying - or knitting - baby booties very soon! Whether you hope to conceive a child or adopt one, both ways are favored as a path to motherhood and fatherhood. This year and the first half of 2014 will be your best year in twelve years to start the process.

FULL HOROSCOPE HERE

Now is that 12 years line just a coincidence?? or fate! God i hope this has a true meaning![/QUOTE

I have my goosebumps reading your horoscope. I hope everyword will come true! I beleave it!
This month I wrote my health plan: food and exercise plan and started to follow it very strictly and I went to RE. And then I read my June horoscope: it was saying that this month is the best to loose weight, eat healthy and visit dr. I did everything without knowing about it! P.S. I canceled my dr. for a procedure on the luckiest day in decade! That made me think, if I did the right thing. If my AF never comes, it was good call.
Cheers for stars!(alcohol free beer!)

Cheers Dovkav Good to know i'm not alone in looking for hope in astrology or any other alternative body Fx for no AF!!! x

 

[Myshelsong]

XXshell and Dovkav - You are not the only ones at all! This is the month my psychic said that I would conceive so my fingers are crossed for either this cycle or next. I know that I should not put all my hopes into this but honestly I would grasp at straws if someone told me they would get me pregnant this time around. I even have a fertility bracelet that has rose quarts and moonstone to help my cycle and increase fertility. LOL

I never actually spoke with the Dr only his nurse assistant who read me the report so she couldn't confirm what stage of endo, only could confirm they removed lesions from my uterus. I am actually assuming they are endo as what else could it be. I have a few symptoms of endo so I have it in my head that is what it is. Hopefully it isnt anything else. Ovaries and tubes are normal, which is at least good news.

Hopeful: I am so so sorry to hear that hun. Big hugs all around, there are no other words to express but my heart goes out to you.

Wow, Shells, your horoscope would totally fit to my situation. It will be 12 years early 2014 dh and me have been together... Babydust to all of us!

Well, i'm not pisces, but my dh is...

Congratulations! Wish you all the luck with this.
When do you expect this to happen? What is the process from here, do you have to go on meds first?

Thank you! I have to have yet more bloods done on cd 3 which should be next week and be up to date with smear. Once they have all those results within a month I will have a appt to see the FS for consenting and will be given all the drugs and there I will be given a proper date! So two weeks of injections EC and then FET! If unsuccessful will hopefully have some "frosties" for more FET!!

Thanks and I certainly will let you know! Are you on FB as there is a secret page on there for kiwi women going through IVF I have found in the last year I have been a member very informative

 

[pipilotta]

Sounds great Lorna, I have sent you a private message.

 

[Ella_Hopeful]

Hi girls.

I started a journal because I don't know where to post at the moment. Feel free to stalk! The link is in my signature.

I'm going to miscarry but I don't know when or how or what exactly is going on. I feel so out of the TTC game, don't even think a BFP would be a happy thing anymore!

 

[LornaMJ]

Sounds great Lorna, I have sent you a private message.

I didn't get your message so I have sent you one and added you as a friend on here

 

[pipilotta]

I tried to send it again. My phone is playing up. Thanks for adding me!

temps never lie, red show begins.....My body works like a clock.

I am not upset, but pesimistic...didn't happen in 19 months, why should it happen now? It is not the end of the world, we have options... Years ago people didn't have any options, and lived without children, but in this century we do...
Now the worst part of this week is, that I'll need to cancel my hysteroscopy, because my period will not be finished by Friday.
I won't push it, I'll slow down. Sometimes destiny guides you. Don't you think so? Don't you think that in your lifetime you meet people and they infuence you and help you? or you help them? and you have connection the rest of your life? Any exmaples can you think?
You are searching, forcing, pushing for an answer for months and then the answer comes to you...
My father in law was sick on Christmas and the doctor came to the house. She is a family doctor and also she practises naturopathy and pain management. I forgot about her. But we saw her last week, we paid her the medical bill and she agreed to see me on Wednesday. Maybe she was sent to me by God on the Holly night and she'll help me. It is good to have another opinion. Maybe She will help increase my chances of IVF?
I hope not only my hormones are talking here! I beleave in faith.
I hope you made it through Monday. It is my hardest day of the week.

Sorry AF is coming, dovkav. You’ve been so proactive about this, and I hope it pays off soon. And I definitely think that the universe sometimes opens or closes doors for reasons we don’t see at the time. I have no idea why any one of us is having the fertility door shut in our faces, though. I haven’t figured that one out yet. But I definitely look at women, and miscarriage, and fertility differently than I did a year ago, and I’m glad that I’m not one of the smug insensitive people who get pregnant quickly and say terrible things to struggling women, so I guess that's a good thing. Anyway, I'm sending you , and I hope that horoscope is correct!

Shell, sorry about your SIL. That’s not fair.

Lorna, very exciting about the IVF! So this all starts next cycle? I think I speak for the others when I say we’re super excited to watch your process!! Better go out now and have and and sushi, and hot tubs and do all the things you won’t be able to do soon!!!

You ladies are hilarious. I don’t go to psychics or read horoscopes myself, but I think every single LTTTC woman can do whatever the heck she wants that could improve chances, relieve stress, inspire hope, or some combination. So, power to the people!!!!

Myshel, it does sound like you had some endo. But that could be good, as that could be what was preventing a bfp! FX your bfp is coming up really really really soon!

AFM, still no AF. Thanks for your help, ladies! I do expect her soon, based on spotting and other symptoms, but the longer she stays away, the more likely I’ll be able to do injectables next cycle. Another Femara cycle wouldn’t be the worst thing, but I’m skeptical it will work. We shall see!

Thinking of you, Ella.

and to everyone here I've missed! I have an i/f joke for you ladies. How many infertile couples does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Spoiler

Hmmmmm…..screwing in a light bulb. We haven’t tried that. Do you think it would help? We’d totally try it if it would help!!!!! (I think this is *hilarious*. )

LOL! Thanks for the laugh pbl_ge!

 

[pipilotta]

Lol, haha, we probably all would Pbl_ge. I don't really believe in horoscopes, but sometimes I read them anyway. As someone said, any hope is good.

Dovkav, i'm sorry af showed. I know exactly what you mean about being pessimistic, but there is hope, and as you said, we are able to be proactive about our situaton.

 

[LornaMJ]

Pbl_ge thanks for those words. I have been told no more alcohol or caffiene leading up to IVF Yet my DH is still allowed 20 units of alcohol a week and can drink caffeine It won't be for two more cycles as have to have work up bloods etc. But will keep you all updated. I am still crossing fingers for you though and telling AF to stay away for you

Dovcav I hope you do get some answers from that doctor and she can help you with IVF. Sometimes I do wonder if fate intervenes

Myshel agree with Pbl_ge at least you have some answers and you can get the endo cleared. I only have stage 1 and it bugger me about but easily cleared.


It is great being part of this group and to share this experience with people who can understand and as Pbl rightfully said who dont make stupid comments. I so hope to see lots of BFP's and sticky beans over the next few months. Cheering them on for all of us (couldnt find an emoticon for cheer lol)

No alcohol or caffeine? Ah, well. Hot tubs and sushi?

I've always thought this emoticon looks like a cheerleader: But the is good! Totally agree about this thread!

And AF arrived tonight, which according to my docs means that tomorrow is CD1. I'm at a wedding CD12 and CD13. I seriously doubt they're going to let me do injectables, so it's likely another month of Femara and progesterone for me. Will call in the am.
