March/April BFP's who's going for it!! NEW LADIES COME JOIN IN!!

[Aspe]

I have a question, how come OPK's are not recommended to do in the evening?

 

[Leather3280]

Aspe: I hope I didn't seem rude when I answered your comment
If I did I apologize never meant to be rude. As much as I've checked online about testing early( believe me I looked up so much stuff that I think that's what made me go in the past about testing. I just want to test to early and I've read that its not possible to get a positive on 4 DPO. So I will do one with Tuesday or Thursday. I'm hoping for bfp and praying that its not just my hormones.

 

[Storked]

Never, we just picked up the fertility blends at GNC they just have a little bit of all kinds of stuff supposed to help improve fertility. Don't know the affect on me but it has definitely changed my husband. Meow!
Sorry your DH will be away but you aren't alone! Your son is with you and we are always on the computer!

Fiona, oh my gosh prayers for your friend! That is scary OH JUST READ THE GOOD NEWS!
Not done packing yet I'm afraid.
Sorry the witch is coming but like Never said, don't lose hope! You have options

Leather, my urine smelled different when I got my BFP (got a UTI during pregnancy) so it could be a sign!

HisGrace, hi! Will eagerly be awaiting your appointment

Mowat, welcome and so sorry for your loss and the wait and all the D&C's
You are clearly one strong lady! Throwing at you!

Sweetz, same here. Goodnight! (and when you wake up you like that picture I put on your FB wall )

Howdy Lisa!

Aspe, I think afternoon and evening are fine. I think the time they really don't like is in the AM


AFM: long day ladies. Sorry I haven't been on but I think it may be that way until I am settled in Kingwood. Much love to you all!

 

[Aspe]

Another question. How much alcohol will it take to kill sperm? My db is gone out tonight and drinking, just wondering if his buddies are going to any good tonight? He don't normally drink, so this will be the first time in a long time.

 

[shefali83]

Morning Ladies

congrats sweetz a baby boy - a mamas boy - no wonder DH is pissed you will have your very own protector, boys are awesome I have two so I should no

Storked - Glad Kitty is feeling better - I didn't realise either you were on meds I knew you were on aspirin for your blood what's the others

Shefali - Sorry AF has gone MIA - I'm sure she will show her ugly face soon

Never - Aw having a baby is soooooo stressful and sometimes the men just don't get it - I guess cause their not kept up on an evening needing the loo or are the ones with their head down the toilet glad you worked it out hope the spotting has stopped

Leather - How are you cycle buddy

Ok ladies will try and do more personals later but need to tell you how I got on yesterday:-

After waiting an hour (good old NHS) in a room full of pregnant mummies I finally got seen he took my history - examined my tummy, then did an internal oooooouuuuccccchhhhiiiiieeee if I thought my endo was gone oh my he certainly touched it

Anyway he gave me 3 options to help cure the endo, he was very good and seemed interested in my charts but his main concern was the pain so the 3 options were:-

1. Have another laproscopy (I've had 5) so could be dangerous and possible inconclusive as the endo could be to far up

2. Take some tablets to bring on the menapause for 6 months - no guarantee of fertility ever returning.

3. Hysterectomy - bye bye any chance of ever having a baby.

The doc knew my plans so he brought in a senior doc who went through these three options more thoroughly - so I did what any girl would do I cried

He then said upon my examination I was feeling tender so it is a possibility that my endo was stopping me get preg (for ladies that don't know these go hand in hand) the cure for a while - 9 months pregnancy! so because of this he was referring my to a Fertility Specialist obviously no guarantees and I may end up with one of the three options anyway

So ladies I feel like I haven't been thrown on the scrap heap and today feel a lot lighter so not only hopefully I will get my endo under control I may also be in a better position to conceive

6DPO today - temp dropped - slight bleed (but that could be from yesterdays poking) also had af type cramping this morning so guess I will just have to wait it out

In the meantime I have a lot to be grateful for my two lovely (most of the time) boys, a loving husband, a gorgeous home, my health (sort of) and my Avon (keeping me sane)

So I felt my meeting was positive but kinda last chance saloon



X

Omg what a day you had.. and what choices! glad you get to see the Fertility Specialist atleast. good luck hun! i am sure you ll be able to come out of all these issues with a baby
AFM got the af finally..

 

[shefali83]

Shefali- Isn't it crazy that the ONE time you want AF to come on time, it doesn't show??? Hopefully it'll be soon so you can get it over with. Do you plan to start TTC this cycle?

Garfie- It's wonderful that your doctors are taking your desire to conceive seriously and they're referring you to a fertility specialist. I wonder if IUI could bypass the issues that endo is giving you. Do you know? Either way, I know you're happy to finally have some real options. You mentioned a slight bleed after the examination. Do you have this issue with sex and the insertion of tampons (if you use them)? If that's too personal, you DON'T have to answer that last question.

yeah seriously.. cant believe that i am wanting af to show..the witch that i completely detest..ggrrr.. anyhow she did show up today finally..lol so will start ttc from this cycle..yay.. no ofcourse but home inseminations

 

[shefali83]

Good morning all! Anybody else feel like they need a

Hey Garfie: I was sad as well when I read the three options they have you. But so over the moon for you that your staying positive. Right now I'm like thinking "wow Garfie is very strong I would be like like a if that were me, but than I'm not very strong mentally, I'm much stronger physically. I'm so encouraged by you my cycle buddy that you are such a positive person. For me it's very awesome to be in contact with like you

Ok so I'm officially in my tww, today is 3 DPO for me so will see what happens in the next few days to a week from now.

Anyone have symptoms this early, if you did what were they, if not when did you start having symptoms.

Hey Sheeee: is it still possible you could be prego or do you think this month is out for you, my f are definitely x for you.

AFM: Well again today I was really warm(as in sweating) this morning. The only two differences are that I was actually not as "naked as a jay bird" under my night gown and my temp. was the highest this morning than it has been this whole cycle like yesterday was third highest at 97.45 and today the highest at 98.12.

No sweets i so wish too. i had a surgery few weeks back so cant .. we are gonna do home insems from this cycle till i am completely healed.. I see you are 4dpo.. i like your symptoms too lol.. sounds promising.. i too got my symptoms starting 4 dpo..twinges and all last cycle.. though it was a chemical.. BUT anyways when do you plan to test? decided any date?

 

[shefali83]

Sweetz, here are the others for you!

Your hubby hasn't figured out how unchangeable you are yet?

Lisa, he will be trained in Houston for a year and then we are relocating overseas we still plan to go to Bangkok this April because he cannot miss Songkran. How are you and baby doing?

Aspe, not sure about how long the dizziness lasted. But I noticed it and it was unusual. Was also highly emotional! And yay food! What are you grazing on lol?

Lulu, welcome and so sorry for your loss *
I tried the first cycle after my D&C but I have to say that my body still hasn't normalized yet. My D&C was in May.

Never, not real fertility treatments, just some fertility supplements my husband bought after the last cycle fail- he is taking some too!

Shefali, I hope those puppies give you lots of snuggles! Are you taking a ton of photos and spoiling them?
CD8 here. Are you excited about IVI? Sex is so much work and with it hurting you this may be best
I'll let AF know that you are ready for her to make an appearance!

Fiona, I was also taking lovenox injections but have quit everything but the fertility blend my husband got, for now. And honestly I am tired of taking blood thinners and then getting AF. Blood gushes out of me for days. Miserable.
Oh no on your appt! How soon will you see the fertility specialist? Hopefully you can conceive soon

Loren, you are awesome lady. How are you?

Runnergrl, it will be over before you know it. honey!

HisGrace, keep knocking on wood. May happen yet

Leather, hurray for TWW! It sucks lol. Don't drive yourself crazy

yeah taking many pics but i get too tired.. so not too excited lol... managing a puppy is a huge thing especially when u have a 10 month old lab already... i am quite excited about the IVI.. Couldnt think of coz i am still hurting. so IVI will help me go ahead with the ttc process.. only regret is i will not be able to use softcu ps till i am healed softcups have really helped to get my bfps.. ahh nevermind.. something is better than nothing. atleast i get to ttc.. i am CD1. Got my AF today. was 3 days late because of the chemical i had last month.

SWEETZ :AWESOME PICS !!!! sooooo exciting !!!!!

 

[shefali83]

just a quick update as im supposed to be resting everything went as expected-D&C done. Just recovering now. Glad to be done and ready to move on.. Ill be dreaming about my future baby tonight and loving on my son like crazy. He is so special to me. I really am blessed thank you all.
and night night

So glad you are recovering and finally got the closure. When do you get to start ttc again

 

[shefali83]

Hello ladies,
I've just found this forum, & I couldn't be happier! This is just the group I need, I've been reading posts (still have a long way 2 go 2 catch up!)- but I feel like u all understand where i'm coming from
Ok, my story: In Feb of 2009, I found out I was prego, & it was the happiest, scariest, most wonderful feeling. I was in graduate school at the time, & my DH (then just my bf) & I weren't even thinking about kids or starting a family.
Well, the happy feeling only lasted a week, the next week, I began having intense abdominal pains. And long story short, I ended up in the ER, was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy, went into emergency surgery, & they took my littlr angel & one of my fallopian tubes.
Fast forward to now, DH & I ready to try now! I'm so happy, but also scared to death! I don't want to go through losing another angel- it was sooooo hard the first time, u never forget, u cope, & I am praying that we have a better time yhis time trying to conceive
So I just want to say thanks to u ladies who post here! You've given me strength, & I LOVE the positive attitude of this thread! I'm so glad I found this thread, I feel like I can share with u all, & that's such a great stress reliever to me, since i'm terrified & excited to try again.
We're aiming for a BFP in November or December, & I take it as a sign of good luck that I found this forum!

Sorry for the novel, just excited

Hi ladies!!

Tybabydreams....OH EM GEE!!! I THINK I LOVE YOU YOU ALREADY!!! I LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE YOU DEF BELONG HERE!!! Sorry ab your loss, we ladies def know how it feels to have loss a blessing. But I believe it's Gods will and he promises us that if you believe in him you'll be a mother of many. Don't give up. I hope you stay and go on this journey with us Bc we will def root you on and give you all the support we can Bc we're all going to get our take home baby one day soon!! Head Up, Chin up!! Your Nov. /Dec. baby is coming, gotto believe it!!

Lamb27: Sorry ab your loss ma'am. 3 wks ago is still fresh but love your attitude of trying again. Go for what you want Bc you deserve it!!

Garfie: Those 3 options are not as bad as they sound or seem. You still have a chance at conceiving!! Your only option wasn't a hysterectomy, so we(I mean you and DH) still have time. My Aunt has Endo and it bothers her often but she refuses to get anything done to stop her from conceiving Bc we believe God is the planner of your future not man, and miracles can and will happen, and to get the chance to see a RE or to even get three options instead of one is a miracle in itself. Count it all joy and don't worry or cry ab what you have no control over, God made you perfect in his image. Dry those tears ma'am Bc we're (I mean you) going to get our BFP soon enough, dobt give up on yourself!!! Love ya ma'am more then you'll ever know!

Sweetz: Awe more U/S pics!! I am so enjoying those, HI XANDER!!! and I love your story you wrote for Tybabydreams....that made me smile so Bc we sonetimes forget it's ok to Try for longer then others. Our bodies work differently. It may take someone longer then it took another but that's ok, Bc all that matters Is you're trying and one day it will pay off. Love ya Sweetz for that!!!

Runnergrl: Glad to hear your D&C is over and you're recovering... it's def a out of body experience of walking in there and it happening so fast and boom it's over. But you'll be ok, lots of rest for your mind and body. Abd you'll be bk in the game in no time. I love your plan of no opks or tempting Bc that plan worked for me, so I'm claiming with my FX that it will work for you despite your condition...Bc it worked twice already

Lpjkp: Your post made me giggle ab the epic fail....it def makes you feel better ab doing horrible on it when you accept it. At least it does for me....I'll tell myself I'll do better next time SERIOUSLY!!! lol! And Happy Lime Day!!! Sorry ab your m/s but it sounds bitter sweet....Enjoy!!

Stork: Moving to Bangkok in one year...OH EM GEE....You're def going to forget ab us!! I hope you know it's closer then you think! And Fertility supplements sounds safe and way cheaper then the injections...smart girl you!! I need to tell my sister about those...did you have to get checked e.g. Your blood or anything B4 taking them. Where do you but them from?

Sirbaby: I loved your post to Garfie: you are def a sweetheart!!! We need that when going through this journey!!

Aspe: Hello ma'am.

Shefali: I totally meant it! And ooooo now I'm even more excited ab your inseminations!!! You'll have that BFP in no time!!

Lisalee: Hello ma'am...and your baby is a cantaloupe!! GO YOU!!!

Leather: YAYYY 2WW!!! O I'm SOO happy you're in it now try to stay sane! And yes ma'am, I had night sweats, insomnia and a bit of cramping!! So def all good signs!!

HisGrace: You're moving along ma'am!! You'll be in 2nd in no time...are you counting the days?

BayBeeEm; Hello ma'am, hope you and the baby is doing great!!

Hopestruck: Hope everything is still going great!! Can't wait to hear your BFP....Turkey baby.....

BamaGurl: Hello ma'am I know you're busy...but remember to rest sometimes too!

Hello to our new ladies and def welcome...hope you all go on this "AWESOME" Journey with us!

Hi to anyone I may have missed def not intentional!

AFM: Well kindve sad...DH went bk on the road to work...and now I'm by myself again and this time he's working 7 days so he won't even be here on wknds, but he has to do what he has to do. So when I'm finished with all my school stuff I will be traveling up there (5 1/2hrs away)to see him. Oabn(On a better note) I'm enjoying my boy daily kicks and Turkey day(Thanksgiving) is almost here for some of us...I think!!! So ready to eat with my family!

yayyy i am sooo excited as well and no BD pressure for sometime LOL i was kinda tired of it needed a break as well..

 

[shefali83]

Ok while I'm waiting for my friend to text (the one in hospital)

Leather - Wow those symptoms sound good how many dpo are you now.

Never - Sorry you're so sad I know what it's like when the men work away I was engaged to a soldier (not my mean xhubby) but a lovely guy - but we were just to young

Afternoon new ladies - welcome to this lovely POSITIVE thread in here you will find lots of different personalities and women who have been through so many different personal experiences - so remember ladies nothing is TMI we have either done it, had it, ate it etc you get the picture

Sweetz - Hi Xander we are all your BNB aunties - and we can't wait to see more pics of you as you grow in mummys tummy

Runner - Hope you are feeling a little bit better physically - emotionally was the one that took the longest for me BIG

LP - A lime - so sorry you are still feeling bleurgh but it's for a good cause

Storked - Hello lady how are you today - finished that packing yet

Sirbaby - Thanks hun - that was one thing I thought about IUI when I told hubby he said oh no I'll be redundant you won't need me once Ive handed over my pot silly man of course I will still need him a pot can't cuddle me

Aspe - Any news hun

Ok ladies I interrupt these personals to bring good news about my friend - she was all ready to be wheeled into theatre for the op when one of the sisters on the ward stopped it and demanded a rescan by the head person. She got this as her numbers had more than doubled and her prog levels were high. It turns out that the baby in the ovary was a fluid filled cyst and the one in the uterus did have a fetal pole after all so she is pregnant after all

I am sooooooooooooooooo happy right now

Sheff - Are you doing these inseminations by yourself or under the care of a Doc?

To all the other pregnant ladies hope you are all feeling great



X

we will be doing it at home . these are home insems

 

[shefali83]

Hi everybody,
I'm finally back on the forum after a pretty horrible year. I had a MMC a year ago and then 3 D&Cs for retained products, then one more surgery for Asherman's. After lots of hormones they tell me I'm good to go! And we're going for it! Hoping for an early November BFP! Good luck to everybody.

hello
So sorry for the losses and surgery. glad you are back to the ttc wagon
good luck dear!!! you ll have you BFP in no time

 

[shefali83]

Another question. How much alcohol will it take to kill sperm? My db is gone out tonight and drinking, just wondering if his buddies are going to any good tonight? He don't normally drink, so this will be the first time in a long time.

i would let DH drink in the tww but definitely not before that But then also depends on how much he is drinking.

 

[lpjkp]

Leather, the cycle I got my BFP I was nauseous from about 3dpo and I needed naps...the one major sign for me though was no CM (I only starting getting more cm at 10 weeks pregnancy!) so I'd say they are fantastic signs! I got a really faint positive at 8dpo and confirmed with a clear blue digital at 9dpo! Good luck!x

 

[lpjkp]

Fiona: that is absolutely fantastic news about you friend...that nurse must have been her guardian angel! Very happy for her! Is 8 days the normal length of your luteal phase? when is your appointment with the fertility specialist? I'm definitely thinking it would hurt to give the b-50 complex a try in the meantime? It would do wonders for increasing your luteal phase length hun x

 

[lpjkp]

Oh wow bethany! Are you packing to move? That is so exciting! Are you looking forward to your first stage of moving, or are you holding out tat excitement for Thailand?x

 

[lpjkp]

Woo hoo! Yay for AF shefali! I guess it's a bittersweet situation seeing AF, but here's to TTC again and getting that speedy BFP! X

 

[shefali83]

Woo hoo! Yay for AF shefali! I guess it's a bittersweet situation seeing AF, but here's to TTC again and getting that speedy BFP! X

this af is gonna be a killer, damn crampy and quite heavy..but i am glad i ll get to try soooon
