Softcups

[Nessicle]

Hi sonia!

you're definitely not alone! Welcome and good luck ttc!

Babydixon - there will be some left in the cup - it varies how much semen your OH 'deposited' inside you hun!

Lol,I love how you phrased that.Using the softcups for the first time tonight.Here's a really stupid question.Is it possible to go to the bathroom with it in?? I just really don't want to change it just because I went to the bathroom.

ha ha thanks - was trying to think of a non gross way to phrase it

yep you can go to the bathroom. If you do a number two, just check the position of it after - with the bearing down it might drop a little but you can just slip it back over your pelvic bone

Thanks girls... It is so comforting to have this place where we can come and commiserate with others who feel as we do.

Ness..well, today is CD 1 of cycle 16. Now, some of those cycles were NTNP because of surrounding circumstances. We started actively trying in January 2009. Six weeks later, several really bad things happened in my family that took months of extreme emotional stress and mental exhaustion to resolve. I visited OB/GYN in January of this year and she thinks that I am not PG because of all the stress I was under last year. Things are finally beginning to settle down, so she wants us to try for six more months before beginning a fertility workup. Part of me wants her to just do it now, but the other part of me doesn't want to know...sounds stupid I know I have to go back in October if I can't get pregnant before then. I am really starting to get scared now.

Thanks again for letting me cry on your shoulders my friends...sigh....well I better get working on cycle 16 It means more than you could ever know....

I know what you mean about not wanting to know because if you don't know any different it means there's nothing wrong

I'm sure it's the stress that you were under that caused you not to conceive last year - stress can stop you ovulating, delay your period etc so it's no wonder you didnt conceive if you were that stressed hun!

We're always here for you hun! xx

laura I didnt know it took you 2.5 years to conceive! Wow you so deserved that bfp honey!

Can you imagine Cat if you are pregnant lol that would be a complete lovely surprise especially if you weren't actually trying!

AFM, off to get my opk's today ready for Monday's commencement of testing for ov! will bd tonight, Sunday and then CD11 Tuesday so hopefully there will be some nice fresh healthy supplies!!

xx

Oh Cat what if you OVd late and have caught?

Yeah Ness. I started TTC in 2007. Had a HSG in November 2007 and was left to TTC on my own. Gyne was crap and wouldnt really help me apart from giving me a scan to confirm OV and then when i finally changed GPs after i moved she tried me on clomide without me even asking and hey presto! lol. Very hard, emotional, awful 2.5 years but perserverence got me here.
Oh gearing up to OV. Any plans on seducing the OH? :wink:

[Nessicle]

I bet it was sweetie! I think a lot of specialists are crap over here though - they just fob you off with anything cos they have so many people to see, they get you in and out as fast as they can!

What does clomid do exactly? At least by finding this site if I find I'm struggling to conceive later in the year I will tell them what I need lol

well we're just relaxing to be honest, got a meal on Saturday with OH's parents and his sister! xx

 

[laura6914]

I think because i was so young at the time (21) they didnt take me seriously.
Clomid makes you ovulate and gives you better quality eggs. I ovulate on my own but the clomid gave me a boost. The first round on it didnt get me my BFP but i had a real AF, really heavy which i think flushed me out ready for the next cycle. Then the following month i had a break off it and got my BFP all on my own. Well i think the clomid did give me a good clear out in order for it to happen.

Sounds like a lovley weekend. Where you goign nice for something to eat?
Im home alone as Phil is away yet again. i have worked 7 days in a row so havent seen him and now im off he is away it sucks

Quick update before I go back and read the other posts- Todays hcg levels are 466 which is an 83% rise from Wednesdays. better than last rise of 58% but still slow.She wants to continue monitoring me. Cant do bloods over weekend as they are closed so scan on monday morning. Need to see a sac.
Thanks girls for all your support. I think your positive vibes must have done the trick when I ran out of all mine

 

[laura6914]

ah min thats fantastic news hunny. I knew everything would be ok. And im sure when you go for your scan on monday you will see a nice little yoke sac there and growing into your baby, Im sure of it.

yeah you'd be right about them not taking you seriously! They never do hun it's a shame but they dont!

Well if by September I haven't conceived I might have to mention it to the doctor! My coeliac disease could have done some damange but obviously only on cycle 3 so gotta give it a longer time than that!

Just going for an indian near where we live - they do proper indian food it's lush!!

aww sorry you're fed up darling must be really tough not seeing your OH xxx

Yay min, they might be slow but they are still rising

ness, laura... dont get me excited, ross wont shurrup about how his "men" have caught my egg da da daaa its impossible surely??? that means i would have ovulated a week later than normal, cd21? nooo im not even goin there, cus she will turn up soon and ill be gutted plus ive had wine, and loads of caffiene and mayonaise, so im hoping it eint...NO theres no way

i did the cotton bud test and yesterday there was one bit of blood size of a fullstop . and i tried today but no blood on cotton bud...ive had 28 days cycle before, rare but i have... she probably just taking the piss out of me and will show soon ...cow bag

 

[laura6914]

Ness that sounds lovely. I hope you have a loveley evening tomorrow. Im not keen on Indian but i d love a Korma. Im not familiar with your condition hun. What is it if you dont mind me asking.

Cat, Its possible hunny. Dont wnat to ge your hopes up but it is. I OV on CD11 now and before i used to OV on CD17 so thats nearly a week difference. Are you going to test or wait it out for a few more days. Not trying may have relaxed you so much you may have got caught.

[tryforbaby2]

Minimin, Yay! They are still rising and will continue! I have been thinking about you all week!!!

AF got me! Grrr! Two days early, which happened once back in November she came 2 days early. Oh well I suppose, I will get on to O earlier.

AFM - Cycle 8 and now I have to figure out when I am going O, I normally know this months in advance! haha!!

 

[Mommy2Kian]

Laura but i only had sex on sunday 5 days ago, the last time i had sex we used a condom and it didnt split or break or anything...so even if i "was" it wouldnt show up yet would it? i just done the cotton bud test again but nothing...my cervix is high but still reachable it eint soft. Just want her to hurry up cus i wanna get cracking with this cycle

 

[laura6914]

no hun it wouldnt It would in a few more days though.
Its so annoying the waiting.
i wouldnt focus too much on your CP hun. Mine isnt overly high still. I checked it out of curiocity the other day. Its high but reachable and soft. But the week after i got my BFP it was low and hard

[IceFire]

Thanks for the words of encouragement girls! Means a lot

Min for you honey!! 466 is awesome!! Sending you PMA and loads of sticky healthy

Laura, I have to constantly remind myself that I haven't been trying nearly as long as some. It's hard though when all of my college friends are already working on LO#2 and they are looking at me like "well.........." Grrrrr so annoying!

Julie, what is with AF coming two days early for you, me and Jen? Well like you said I guess that mean's we'll OV earlier. I too have to sit down and figure out when I will OV this month...may get some OPKs just in case since apparently I OV'd earlier than my usual CD 15 this month.

Hope everyone else is having a great day!

 

[Mommy2Kian]

The only way i can be pregnant is if i have ovulated twice in one month because i had the ovulation pains around cd13 because i wanted to pounce on ross but new we was on a break so took no notice... its silly cus she will pop up soon, but why am i allowing myself to get a tiny bit excited? i hate this...



im watching this morning, and a 60 yr old escort has slept with 4000 men that puts my 2 men to shame

 

[tryforbaby2]

Apparently there was something going on with the moon this cycle for alot of us to have gotten our periods 2 days ealry! WTF?

I am going to have a good day, I'm NOT letting AF stop me!!!

 

[laura6914]

IceFire hunny. not matter how long anyone has been trying it still so hard when AF shows. Its when your doing everything right and doing what your supposed to yet it just doesnt happen. Just have faith hun. I firmly believe everything happens for a reason and when you do have that LO in your arms the waiting would have been so so worth it darlin. and they will be so loved.

cat, good for you trying not to get your hopes up. I know its hard not to hun. But what you need to think is that there are woman out there who get pregnant when not trying, they have no idea about Ov and it only takes once. Just see what happens.

TFB2- thats really interesting to know. I wonder what happened and how many people it effected.

[Mommy2Kian]

so ur 2 days early and im 2 days late...can the moon really influence a womans period???
