Hi ladies. Got my AMH results which are normal. So on to IUI and clomid. Dh went to fs with me, and I go to read our consent and he tries to whack from my hands....he is a silly kind of guy lol. I'm teaser then heck and he is making me laugh. Our RE was funny saying maybe our egg and sperm don't like each other lol.

I have provera once I do a preg test, then call clinic when af arrives. I hope I'm down my 25 lbs by then..it's about 3 lbs to go.

 

[Lawyer chick]

Hi magan. Have you tried opks? Dollar store sells and you can online cheap. I'll prob order some.

I'm also trying to lose weight. I use myfitnesspal app to track. I love it.

 

[Magan85]

Hey Lawyer yes I have tried them, I was very obsessive with the dollarama ones a few months ago lol. My friend just gave me a couple box's of clear blue opk's. So I might try to do SMEP again this cyle. Have also warned OH that I will be a uber bitch starting monday. I have decided im going to try and lay off of all caffine which means no more morning coffees and midday pops or ice capps I have to wait til monday though because Im doing Relay for Life tomorrow night so I have to stay up all night then im schedule for a midnight shift the following night and OH has plans for us Sunday so no sleep after work lol. Also going to start daily walks on Monday and trying to talk myself back into the gym that im just wasting money too by not going.
Where in Ontario are you from?

 

[Lawyer chick]

Brantford. My clinic is in Burlington.
I used opk long ago but with iui I'm going try again.
I hear ya on caffeine. I gave up pop 5 and a half months ago. I rarely drink tea if I do it's green or chai.....or Starbucks iced chai lol......

Good for you on relay. I should be doing it. I lost my mil to cancer and I was with a friend during her sons struggle and loss to the big C in 2008 when he was two

 

[Magan85]

Oh cool, I am in Chatham nice to see another southern ontarian I really dont know how im going to do it but I just want to see if maybe thats whats holding me back. And if its not it should help me lose weight anyway because its a lot less sugar I will be taking in. Im hoping to get to see a specialist soon if we dont get anywhere. We are now in our 9th cycle so at least I know help is on its way.
This is my first time doing Relay and I am the team captain its been a very busy month getting fundraisiers organized and stuff. Not sure if I will put my own team in again next year or not. Have been doing most of the work myself and its just added stress. But this year I had to do it to show my brothers fiancee support she was just diagnosed with breast cancer in February.

hey ladies, sorry ive been MIA and pretty crap at keeping in contact lately, been really busy so ive been able to read everything but not been able to reply much, hope everyones ok and doing good

Update from me,
Not going to ramble on about all the bad stuff this time lol kidney pain is keeping me awake at night so im lucky if i can get an hour and a half sleep a night so im completely ditzy lately lol but im ok on a whole

Crochet project at the moment- a baby girls poncho its so cute, slightly confused as to the fact that its meant to be a triangle but it curls at the end and im following it to the letter and unravelled it 4 times because it didnt look right and gave up so carried on anyways... I dont care cuz ill do something to it done loads of flowers, a head band for my little cousin, she 5 months old and has the most gorgeous bright blue eyes ever and bright pink makes them stand out even more it has a button on it and have made loads of flowers to attach to it, can change different colours to suit clothes made my Hoodeanie and i fricking love it, ive worn it at 2am to take the dog out and it keeps me soooooo warm not too bothered about how long it took me to make now its worth it

Fella needed cheering up and so i got him a little "Thank you for being my rock" prezzy Hes crazy about American football and loves the Chicago Bears so i got him a signed Mike Ditka card that hes now framed and cant stop smiling i wanted to get him the signed football but the guy wouldnt post it to the U.K. from America....... But i will go on getting Bears stuff for him cuz he wants to make a wall someday bless him lol men and their toys ay?! as long as it makes him smile im ok with that

There is a plus to all this stress i guess lol I dont tend to eat much when im stressed out so ive lost 8.5lbs sex life is getting back to being wherever/whenever we want so we are closer than ever

Got my little cousins staying 2moro, i decided that their parents needed a break and a night out so im looking after my 4 cousins, 3 girls aged between 4-9 and a little boy aged 1 and a half hes a little bruiser but adorable so i will be getting plenty of cuddles off him as he likes to sleep laying on me so film night with snacks and cuddles on my big bed they all end up falling sleep cuddled up to me and im too much of a soft arse to move them so fella has happily given up his side for them and said he will sleep on the sofa i dont suppose ill get any sleep but i enjoy our film nights so its worth it i like being the cool cousin/aunty
Im not an aunty yet but the younger kids grew up thinking i was their cool aunty because the parents (my aunties and uncles) said i was too grown up to be cousin so they just called me aunty kerry, and they still do now so its nice

But for tonight, im going to send this, do some dishes, make a brew, take dog for a walk, find a horror film and drag fella in for a film snuggle session.... Hes been overly horny today so i have a sneeky feeling that we wont be watching the whole film
Hope everyone is doing great i promise i will go back and reply to everyone when i get time out and catch up with you all by 2moro

sounds like busy times for you magic!

afm - i'm afraid its another moan/rant post. i decided to send a message to the 'chart guides' on FF about my chart and its their opinion that i haven't even ovulated this cycle and to change it to the fertility awareness method so it shows that . i'm really unhappy because it means it could still be bloody ages til AF comes and i don't know how much more i can take.

I had a letter this morning from the hospital about seeing the gynae consultant. It said I've been added to the shortest waiting list that they have and they contact me as soon as there is an appointment. It's good but I was kind of hoping there wouldn't be a waiting list and I'd just get an appointment. Better than nothing though I suppose

Good news, hopefully you'll get seen soon

No news from my end, CD19, no cramps or anything. Was wondering though because my temperature went down to 36.6 Celsius yesterday and is back up to 37 today. I usually range between 36.8 and 37.2, don't think I've gone down to 36.6 before. I may have to go and find one of those real chart things. My excel spreadsheet is all well and good but it doesn't really do the same job. There was a tiny bit of ferning yesterday as well but as I had some already this cycle which went away, I don't know what to make of it.

Gonna go and have a butchers at fertility friend

Still feeling ill as well. lower abdomen and lower back are aching like hell and I feel sick too as well as having a headache and stomach cramps. Hope others are feeling better than me.

to all

EDIT: Can I ask, how do you put the FF chart in the signature with the little picture? Thanks x

 

[nexis]

I've been getting quite a bit of cramping this evening, I'm just sooo hoping that it's af finally making an appearance of her own accord. I have everything crossed!

 

[CdnEquestrian]

Today will be my fourth clomid day. So far, so good. No crazy emotions or weird side effects, although it has me worried that maybe it's not working....

FF estimates that I should ovulate next weekend, which would be awesome because the next Thursday is DH's shoulder surgery and he usually has an implanted pain pump and is pretty out of it for a few days, which means there will be no BDing. So perfect timing, I should ovulate JUST before his surgery! WOOT!

They're also going to draw blood on CD24 (weird, hey?) to confirm ovulation.

 

[Jo_Bean]

Good luck honey xxxx

 

[StefanieC]

i got myself a bit excited this morning when i thought i saw something on an hpt but i think i just had line-eye lol. please tell me i'm being ridiculous and nothing is there lol

 

[Jo_Bean]

I can see a very faint line! Have you got any FRER's? My first positive on an IC was very very pale. Here - for comparison

Edit: I can defo see a shadow on yours, it needs to have some colour to it, but I really think it might be worth doing a FRER

Ohhhh Stef!!! I can't see anything BUT I have my fxd it's your !!! I guess because I'm on my iPod the quality is not so good! But that looks promising!!!!

 

[StefanieC]

The thing is its meant to be an 'ultra sensitive 10miu/ml' IC and as you can see from my chart apart from last night we haven't BD'd in at least a couple of weeks because of my uti. So i haven't said anything to DH because i just think its probably another evap or something.
We are going to do the food shopping today as its his day off so i may see if i can get a FRER and just say its for next cycle or something. Or i might try to leave it for a few days and test again, i just don't know what to do for the best

 

[Jo_Bean]

Having had an evap before, the only thing I could do was test on a FRER. Otherwise I couldn't stop thinking about it at all.

Your chart is really hard to interpret if I'm honest, there's no clear biphasic pattern, but at the end of the day, there could be many reasons for it and I don't understand it all enough to know how to decipher that sort of graph.

If you feel like you can wait a few days, then good for you! It might be a good plan, do whatever doesn't get your hopes up too much. That would be my advice xxxx

 

[StefanieC]

I'm just going to assume its an evap because i don't see any way it could be a real line. Nevermind, back to the opks and waiting for possible ovulation

 

[Lika]

good luck Stef!!!

As for me I'm still in the no-AF limbo and the earliest doc can get me in is late next week ugh! I still have a bit of hope that somehow till then AF will pay me a visit and free me from this limbo ugh!
I started geritol complete yesterday... I heard it helps getting your bfp and if not taking a multivitamin can't hurt hubs is taking a multivitamin rich in zinc too and on Thursday I up the dosage of met to 1500mg. I'm starting to suffer mild side effects as I have to take more met... Oh well gotta do what I gotta do

Have a great week everyone!

 

[Melly Belly]

OMG Jo!!! CONGRATS!!!!
I havent been on here much because i was on vacation...and i guess ive just kind needed a vacation from TTC for a bit..

We tried to do hubby's SA over vacation, since we were both off and i could help with it ...but as it turns out, the hospital closest to us doesnt do the testing, so with 5 minutes left of our half hour window by the time they could tell us yes or no they couldnt take it, and the other hospital 20 minutes away, we were f'd and ended up with a cup of swimmers and a damper on the day

And of course i think the witch is here right on time of *course*..so im going to eat these sugary snack cakes and mope for a few days
