mid term ttc!

[Kelly9]

ok so I tested and BFN my temps are still high but last months cycle was a 15 day LP so maybe AF won't show till tomorrow... At least my body was nice enough to try pulling this trick on me after I got news about my upcoming appointment! I wouldn't have been able to handle it otherwise... if AF still doesn't show by sunday I will use my first response test, I've been using my IC's only.

 

[Leila Fae]

You might find that the ICs aren't sensitive enough. Fingers crossed for you

Nothing much to report from me. BBs a little tender but that's not unusual at this stage in my cycle.

DH did his sample today. I (ahem) assisted to get him in the mood. The GP had given him a tiny pot (usually for urine samples) because he didn't have any proper ones so DH had to do some careful aiming! Sorry if that's TMI. Anyway, he did a super job and we jumped in the car to go to the hospital. The nearest one which does semen analysis is a 50 minute drive away so we didn't have much room for error if we were to get it there in the 60 minute target time. Journey was ok but the hospital was undergoing renovations so the directions to pathology that we had been given were wrong. We ended up dashing around the hospital (me with the pot tucked into my waistband! ). We finally found it and handed the sample over 65 mins after it was (ahem) harvested.

Now we have to wait a week or so to find out the results. Still, at least DH doesn't have to abstain any more! Yay!

Spent the rest of the day sanding paintwork in our new house. Such hard work and not the most relaxing way to spend my day off work but it will all be worth it.

 

[Kelly9]

I hope you get great results for your SA!!!! And yes it is worth the effort when you walk into your home and it is the exact way you want it!

 

[wishn2Bmom]

hehe nice story Fay. Made me smile I hope you get good news! The wait is the worst part.

As for me, witch got me this morning. It was a really painful start too. Worst one since the surgery in May Like i've said before though, I fully expected it to show, so there wasn't any disappointment. ok well maybe LIL bit. Aside from the ripping guts i'm fine though!

Just get to be nervous/excited for our Fertility clinic appointment on Tuesday now!

 

[Kelly9]

So NO witch for me ladies!!!! Whats going on? Last month is was a day later so it showed on 16dpo which is tomorrow for me so if I can just make it through one more day!!! If I get a bfn tomorrow on my first response I will use (if not spotting) then I am going in for blood if witch still hasn't shown... although won't be able to till monday... I've only been using IC's so i think this is as good a time as any for the first response. Am trying not to get my hopes up still though as I am crampy and they are stronger cramps today.

 

[bobobaby]

Good luck with your testing Tiffany!! Your temps look awesome!

 

[Kelly9]

I used the first response and neg so witch will show up likely today. I'm ok about it really! I have my appointment to look forward to so whateva! Although I BFP would have been nice. Oh and my temps dropped today.

Sorry about witch allison and welcome back bobo

 

[wishn2Bmom]

Witch happens

HAHA that should be our slogan

Ladies, when are your appointments? Mines Tuesday, i'm nervous. We can't start treatments yet though because we can't afford it with the moving and all

 

[Leila Fae]

Sorry that the witch has reared her ugly head ladies.

I'm a bit worried because I seem to have started with very light spotting but I'm only on day 22 and 8DPO. I started v light spotting on day 23 last month and I've not been taking B Vits this month so I'm worried my LPs going to be really short. If I start spotting so early I can't see how I'm ever going to get a BFP

I've got one full cycle before DH goes out on the road again so fingers crossed. Perhaps I'll start the B Vits again. Just have to wait for the witch to arrive.

Aside from that it's been a good weekend - lots of work on the house and I took myself off to Ikea today to look at kitchens (and have coffee and cake in the restaurant!). Had a late lunch out with my family and we found the reception for my sister's wedding It's a beautiful oldy-worldy barn with lots of character and a lovely garden.

 

[Kelly9]

Mine is sept 24 and with any luck will be doing or starting our IUI treatments on the same day or a day or so after, I think you have to start the clomid before cd5 or something, and depending when I O'v I'll be on cd2 or 4 on the 24th.

 

[wishn2Bmom]

Oh how funny. I went to IKEA today too!!! I now want lots of money to go back!

 

[bobobaby]

I love Ikea! All of our bedroom furniture (including bedding, pillows, and decor) are from Ikea... that room looks like a Ikea showroom. After we got married, lots of people wrote us checks for our gifts and I went and had a big ol' fun time at Ikea and bought so much furniture and stuff. It was fun! However, my DH did not have fun when I made him put all the furniture together.

 

[Kelly9]

yes Ikea is great but putting it together often is not.. I am the furniture builder in our family. Next thing we are buying in a new bedroom set (likely not from ikea though) and that won't be for another 3 or so years. I did just buy some beautiful bedding from Quilts etc that is like heaven on my body though.

 

[aneageraussie]

i LOVE ikea... chelsea- even my bedroom looks like ikea showroom, with tall boy and bed and bedsides and quilt cover and all.. lol...

i also love their meatballs and mashed potato... sometimes i go there just to eat... lol.lol
last time i went i saw that they r open till 9pm on weekdays now.. i told to my DH may be we have to come here for dinners now.. lol

 

[aneageraussie]

Allison - im seeing an endocrinologist on16th september to start my thyroid supplements. on 18th september im seeing my dr. to touch base with her and get Pap smear done before i start my IVF cycle and will start my IVF cycle around 22nd/23rd September depending when AF decided to pay me a visit and for the first time in more then a year i will be waiting for her with excitement. lol

 

[BizyBee]

Wow, lots of things going on and I haven't been able to keep up.

I hate to hear that has arrived. Sorry ladies.

There are a lot of appointments coming up, so hope we are all in the pregnancy section soon! xx

 

[aneageraussie]
