LTTTC, want to be buddies?

[babyjla]

Ohhh thats tricky! You O'd on Friday the 9th? I'd say...Hmmm, I don't know. I agree it would be a FANTASTIC Christmas gift and put you in the BEST mood ever. But then again, if you got a neg...EVEN if it were falsely negative it would put you in a slump. And you'd probably have a drink or two because of the slump. Cause if you O'd on the 9th, you SHOULD get a BFP if you are, but then again it could be false neg. I'm not sure!! I would test though lol. Just because I wouldn't be able to wait!

 

[dodgercpkl]

Right so what do you think girlies, do I or do I not test for my bfp before xmas??

I think i OV friday so if I was, you'd think it tests positive.

My thoughts for as could be the best xmas present ever, of course the neg of that is i could be really down at xmas.

Then there is the xmas drinking, which of course we all have a glass or two at xmas so would rather know not to drink even one or two if I was, not tempting fate and all that!

From my experience with Thanksgiving and testing, I'd caution you to wait. But then I also know that if you are anything like me, you won't be able to because you'll want to know what it says and NOW. lol Just be forewarned that I got a bfn on Thanksgiving Day and it made my day a bit sadder because of it. Granted the Monday after was pretty happy but still. All I know is that I'm hoping and praying for you to get great news this cycle!!

 

[Sammylou2905]

Thanks guys!

Think i might go with caution and leave until new year, so long as I dont go ott and get steaming drunk, should still be ok!

If I start to get symptoms I may test before but in a case like this, with no af, no news is good news!

Thanks for all the positive words though, we have everything crossed this month and couldnt have done more if we tried!

 

[Sammylou2905]

This is completely off topic but this will make you guys laugh!

So night before last fell asleep at 9 on DH knee, was shattered. Woke up yesterday with really bad neck pain down one side, probably from sleeping funny and an old whiplash injury. Didn't sleep much if at all last night due to the pain, so at half 5, me and DH were wandering round my local 24hour supermarket for drugs and heat pads!!! Think that must be the definition of finding the one, someone who will get up with you in the middle of the night to get me drugs
I am sat working (ish) drinking my morning tea in a high polo neck to support my neck heat pad with hair that looks like ive been dragged through a bush backwards and bags under my eyes I could go on holiday with!
Picture it now, and realise why my cats appear to be laughing at me!!

I definitely think that is the definition of the one!! I love hearing stories like that. I know one of the things that made me fall further in love with Anton was him cleaning up after me when I had one drink too many. He did so with no complaints and still stayed with me the whole night to just talk with me!

I'm sorry you were in so much pain. I hope it's better this morning!

 

[Sammylou2905]

Thanks hun!

Yeah my DH has done that for me before too. I was ill all over the bathroom (made it to the bath, not the toilet!), had mess all over me, the room and he calmly stripped me off, put me to bed and cleaned it all up, we both have good ones huh!

Makes me really sad though that i wasted too much time on ex's who were unworthy. I almost got married before at 24 to someone who didnt treat me at all well though claimed to adore me! Adored me in the way that when i had my tonsils out he evicted me to the spare bedroom for two weeks as i smelt of infection and kept me awake and the final straw was when I had flu, fainted in boots getting medication (he wouldnt go for me!), got a real bad ear infection with it that had me rolling around in pain and after all that, in the new year, he kindly informed me that i'd ruined his xmas!!!

Let me tell you, I had a lucky escape there!!

Ugh. I had a few doozies too and it's amazing the vast difference in quality between Anton and the others. There's just no comparison! There isn't one other guy that I've dated that's treated me with the same level of respect and acceptance (and love!) of who I am. I've never once felt that I had to try and be someone else to get Anton to love me, and so many of the things about myself that I'm not all that thrilled about, he loves!

I thank God every day for helping me to dodge those bullets and guiding me to Anton.

 

[babyjla]

Haha, Sammylou your story made my morning

Well, I am in the same boat as you ladies as far as dating some real dogs goes. I can't even fathom WHY I stayed with people who treated me like crap every day. Now that I'm with my hubby, I just don't see what the heck I was thinking! My hubby gives me the world, and would give me the clothes off his back in a heartbeat (although in the beginning when we were super young he was kind of a jerk lol). But he is the only person I can stand to be around 24/7 and I don't get sick of him. I don't need a few hours break from him, I don't WANT to be away from him ever. I'm perfectly content just hanging around the house with him doing absolutely nothing all day, and would rather do that than hang out with anyone else. He really is the one person I trust more than anyone else in the world! Love him to death, God did make a few good men out there. My hubby has shown me that!

Same here! I'm so glad that all of us ladies have amazing men!

Hello ladies Its been quite a while since I've posted anything. Reason being I haven't even visited this site in a while. I just popped on to see if any of you lovely ladies had gotten your :BFP: and noticed babyjla asked about me.

Just skimmed really quick but wanted to say yay for getting a puppy babyjla. Trigger is a really cue name.

So sorry for getting that positive dodger but it not sticking. My heart breaks for you as i can just imagine the letdown! I hope you get that sticky bean soon!

Sorry for just leaving so abruptly. At the end of Nov I finally had my appt with a fertility specialist. She asked me a handful of questions, asked a few questions about hubby, and after taking one look at his SA results (after telling her we were waiting for the results of 2 more) told me our only chance for conceiving most likely would be IVF. His count was really low but I was expecting her to at least try to figure out why, if anything else was wrong with me, but no. IVF. End of story according to her. I left really upset, and so dejected. IVF is just not an option for us. I've taken that stand right from the start of our journey. So after a while I decided I could be depressed for the rest of my life cause having a baby was just not gonna happen, or I could accept it and move on. I moved on. That's why I just stopped coming here. There was no point in talking about pregnancy and symptom spotting and getting myself more and more depressed. And it really helped. I stopped obsessing. Stopped temping. Stopped symptom spotting. And I have actually felt pretty good about it all. We had talked about adoption already and I figure that's where we'll end up.

fast forward to yesterday, my husband had his follow up appt with the urologist and got the results back from his last 2 SA's. Everything is going up! YAY! His count went form 4 million with 1% morphology, to 5% with 8% morphology to 8 million and now 12 million. Don't know the morphology for the last 2. The doc said to just keep trying but he's doing some blood work to see if there's a reason. But the fact its going up has him hopeful we can still conceive one day

Anyway, sorry for the novel. Just wanted to update. I probably won't check this site very often as I have felt really good the last few weeks just letting it all go. If it happens it happens, if not, my life will go on.

Wishing lots and lots of all your ways. Praying you all get your sticky :BFP: soon!

 

[babyjla]

Oh wow, thats a lot of news to take in! I'll keep hope for you that you do get your BFP too! And hopefully when you do you'll come back to us lol. And we are very excited about the puppy, she's a handful already though!

I'm glad your hubby's numbers started heading up! When I read about the low numbers/motility my first thought was, hmmm... I wonder if they have tried the sperm cocktail yet? I also wouldn't give up. The FS you saw isn't the end all be all. See if you can get a 2nd or 3rd opinion! I'd bet anything that the change in SA results will change the opinions as well. All my best to you and you are very much in my prayers!

 

[Sammylou2905]

Agree with the rest of the girls hun and just one positive thing for you here...
My auntie and uncle were told 0 chance of them ever getting pregnant naturally due to my uncles low sperm count. They wouldnt even use his little swimmers for ivf! So, my auntie went on to have two beautiful girls with the aid of a doner, annon I assume.

Low and behold the pressure was off and a few years after their last girl, the accident we all know and love as my cousin james came along Only found out all this recenlty as she wanted to give me hope when we were at our lowest after just being diagnosed!

 

[babyjla]

Oh wow, that is crazy. Yeah I don't think I'd give up over low sperm count or slow swimmers. I'd just let it take its course and be done with it. Since I KNOW its a problem with me though, we can do whatever it takes to fix it haha.

 

[Sammylou2905]

Wow girls, my pain from the other day was nothing, its just got worse!

So i managed to sleep Wednesday night thanks to the aid of strong drugs. Well at 2am last night, they came back to bite me! My drugs had set my IBS off, 2am came with sleeplessness, cold sweats, almost passing out and stomach ache from hell!

Resting on sofa this evening while DH is off getting very very drunk on his xmas do, what a life eh!

 

[babyjla]

Awee, sorry your sick! And sorry your hubby's getting drunk lol. Maybe it'll bring you some good laughs and take your mind off not feeling well lol. I haven't felt too good today myself. I've had the worst sinus headache all day, and my throats been sore. Great time to get sick too, my mom's bday is tomorrow and Christmas is literally like one week away!

Awww... I hope you both feel better!

I was lucky and had a pretty good day all in all. The news I got helped, though it also made me a bit paranoid. lol I kept worrying whenever I had to go to the bathroom afraid I would see spotting again!

 

[babyjla]

Thanks I've been feeling a little bit better today, it was my mom's bday and we went up there and spent time with them. It was a lot of fun When do you find out for sure what all is going on? I can't wait to hear the news!

 

[Sammylou2905]

Had a bit of a strange one this weekend girlies.
So yesterday morning got what felt like "the pains", had a bit of a sigh, realised was xmas, no time to be down and we'll keep bding in the new year. So kept checking all day, no AF. Went to bed last night and didn't even attempt to take my bra off my boobs were that sore! Today when i had to get a shower with them unsupported, hurt like hell!
No tummy cramps today so not sure what the hell is going off!!! Not symtom spotting at all as I have broke my own heart too many times doing that and of course know so many are the same for pg as for af.
Keep watching this space...!
