Armywife - I really hope it happens for you in the next couple of months. It must be so scary knowing your DH has to go so far away for so long.

CD3 and our 2nd Wedding anniversary

 

[schoolteacher]

Happy wedding anniversary Maria!x

 

[MariaF]

Thanks ST!

Not seen many ladies on here for a while...How's everyone doing?

CD4 for me and this cycle is going really fast so far. I hope I get to ovulate. And of course anxiously waiting for the FS appointment on Friday - I really hope we get referred for IUI.

ST - what are you expecting from Thursday's app?

 

[Traskey]

Maria, I'm sorry I missed your anniversary. Hope you had a great day

Not long until the FS ladies. I really want that referral letter in mine!

 

[MariaF]

Trask I can't stop admiring your weight loss! You should be sooo proud!

When do you expect to get the referral?

ao30 - any updates? And also Kimbre, Lissa and Kitten?

 

[Traskey]

Thanks Maria, i'm getting there. That is very kind of you to say so.

Well at the last appointment they promised me that at the appointment on the 7th that if my BMI was under 30 they would do the referral then. After that it's approximately a 6-8 week wait to start the ivf. I'm going to ask if there's any chance they can start a bit earlier so that I can get the scans in the school holidays. That way I won't have to take time off work.

How is everyone else doing?

 

[Kimbre]

Hi! I am about to O. Just a cpl days if that. Got my fertile looking CM and have my pre seed and softcups along w my OPKs good luck ladies

 

[schoolteacher]

Good luck-Kimbre!
Maria-I don't what to expect at the FS, we have already done all the bloods and 3 sa's at the doctors so hopefully we can go striaght onto more tests for me or they recommending something such as iui due to Dh's low sperm. Tbh I would like more tests on me just for peace of mind as I do have long cycles but I don't think they will find anything. I basically think we are not being successfully because there just isn't enough sperm or good enough sperm (dh had a vr 2 and a bit years ago) Perhaps they will realise that and just recommend us for some form of ART as soon as my bmi is under 30? I really don't know and am starting to feel very nervous at the appointment now!!!!!! Im scared it will be a let down..............

 

[MariaF]

ST - did you have your tubes checked? I don't think BMI matters to have them checked. No point doing IUI if they are blocked!

Oh Ill keep everything crossed for you tomorrow. What time is it? I really hope it's a productive appointment and they won't brush you off. Don't let them - let them know how you feel and tell them that just waiting is making it even worse! I really hope there's something they can do for you tomorrow!

Kimbre - good luck!!!

Im CD5 and this cycle is going quite fast. Obviously too early for any ovulation signs. We have our appointment on friday and then going away to Liverpool for the weekend so when I come back on Monday Ill be CD10 already!

 

[ao30]

FX for you armywife!

Schoolteacher- Best of luck with the appointment. I can't believe it's already here; I know time crawls for us LTTTC'ers, but sometimes dates just seem to sneak up on you all the same.

Maria- Happy anniversary! Glad your cycle seems to be going by fast; never fun when it slows to a crawl.

Kimbre- Good luck!!!

Lissa- Anything new to report? You mentioned that you would be testing again...

As for me, Friday will mark the beginning of week 9. Still no bleeding. I actually ended up getting nauseated during weeks 6 and 7, but either it's slowly going away or I am learning how to deal with it better. I've decided to take those symptoms as good signs... and am slowly (very slowly), beginning to embrace this-- and dare I say-- feel excited. Still guarded however. I just don't want to fall apart emotionally if it doesn't work out.

I decided that I am not going in for any scans at the time being- again, insurance problems. If I am still pregnant by the first trimester's end, we will proceed to tell our parents. But I'm not thinking that far in advance.

Also, I just wanted to apologize if my posting on here has caused anyone any pain. I haven't stayed on here to upset anyone... I just feel more accepted here, and you all have helped me more than any of other boards. Plus, if this doesn't work out, then I know right where I belong.

 

[schoolteacher]

No ao30 we love having you here! I understand you not want to go into 1st tri. If/when im finally pregnant im not sure if I will use the 1st tri forums unless there is people in there that I already know from lttc.

Maria-good point about my tubes they have not been checked so I will suggest that if they don't. Appointment is at 9am in the maternity hopstial....grr -why do they put it there!!
x

 

[Kimbre]

thank you maria, thank you ao30.

ao30- no no we do love having you here. and i just have a feeling that this time your bean will stick! i had that feeling when you said you got your BFP. i dont know why lol. i am so happy to hear that your bean is still in there!!!! FX that everything stays that way for you.

 

[Traskey]

Ao30, you are always welcome here. I hear things can be a bit fraught in first tri anyway!

ST, good luck for your appointment tomorrow. I hate that it's always in maternity too.

for all!

 

[MariaF]

ST - how did it go?? Im can't wait for your update. I think ours is at the maternity unit too - not fair, is it? It'll be such a contrast - all those happy pregnant ladies on the one hand and then all all those desperate looking couples on the other I hope you stayed strong whilst waiting for the appointment

ao30 - I will keep everything crossed for you honey. Did you ever consider buying a doppler? You should be able to find the heartbeat on your own by now. On the other hand if you don't simply because bean is hiding, it may upset you more.
Im really, really hoping this is IT and a take-home baby

I also wouldn't go for any internal scans and Im pretty sure that's what they do until week 12. You don't want to disturb anything there.

CD6 here and am getting excited for the weekend. Although just saw my best friend's FB status where she said she's going to A&E with severe back pain They gave her pain killers and she insists she will come to see us on saturday but Im worried she'll get worse and we won't get to see them. Normally they live really far away so I only get to see her twice a year so I hope it will work out.

Have a fabby weekend everyone - ST Ill try to come on here to read your update, hun.

 

[Rivetkitten]

You know those well meaning people; the ones who tell you...well if you if you stop stressing and getting stressed, it will just happen... They are all liars you know.

This has had to have been on of the most stressful months for me and it's about to get worse. Packing and lifting heavy boxes, I've put my back out, I've been ill and generally trying to actually has been nigh on impossible but we did it as our last ditch attempt to catch this egg before we go on strike... and well... apparently stress is what makes you pregnant. Bob dammit.

I haven't told DH yet. I don't know what to say to him. I keep meaning too and bringing it up, but I haven't found a way to tell him. Plus I have no symptoms other than an awful lot of cramping.

 

[MariaF]

OMG! Kitten - are you crazy?! Are you telling us you are PG in such a way?! I had to re-read the post like 3 times When did you test? How much did you BD? OMG, girl - CONGRATULATIONS

 

[Traskey]

Oh wow Rivet. I had to read again too, just to be sure.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

 

[Kimbre]

lol are you saying youre preggo!!!! omg!!!
