Team GB Bumps - UK BFP's *30 BFP's*

[StefanieC]

DH's mum has just moved to the Isle of Wight with her boyfriend and keeps asking us to come and visit but she smokes like a chimney so we don't really want to. I suppose i'm sort of lucky as DH isn't bothered about visiting her really, so there is no chance of us going away with them on holiday anywhere. And his dad isn't really the holiday type so bit of luck there too.

I've been to Disney World twice too, once as a child and once as an 'adult' and loved it both times!

Been to Florida a few times and it was our honeymoon desination too. We stayed in the swan and dolphin hotel, but if your going as a group would defiantly recommend a villa! We are very lucky with in laws must admit, DH and I went to Vegas last year and my parents and his went out together with out us! lol

God I could never go on hols with the inlaws. Well mother in law (DH dad passed away at a young age when Reuben was only 21 so I never met him, unfortunately as he sounded as if he was a fab kind hearted dad) his mother like to have one too many drinks and Reuben hates it. We barely see her but always seem to get ye blame for it even though we always invite her. We live 300 miles apart and I don't drive. Uuurgh long story to go into but she's in my bad books lately. Alfie didnt get a Xmas card or presents sent down even tho she says she has got him loads. She got my address too but couldn't be arsed to send them, expects us to go there. Baring in mind we've hardly seen Reuben ourselves without him traveling all over the country to visit family.

My mum and step dad however we see all the time. We go for drinks and nights out with them as really enjoy their company. X

hope this thread doesn't dry up with all these new journals...love you guys

 

[Lisaloo82]

We love u back huni. How u feeling xx

 

[anniepie]

I'm feeling a lot better thanks hun. cd1 is always the worst. Yesterday I made a plan of making sure I take some time each day to relax...need to destress. Also thinking about trying some reflexology-there's a lady near me who focuses on fertility...

 

[anniepie]

OOh yes-also had my cd2-5 bloods today (FSH/LH). Results mid next week and I'll wait for then to get my progesterone results too from last week

 

[laurac1988]

Good to see you back Annie.
I get all my results on Monday. Didn't phone for them individually. Thought id wait until they're all done and then go see the doc so he can explain it all to me
Am expecting to have to repeat the progesterone one as last month's was only 2dpo... Will do one 7dpo this month.

 

[anniepie]

I was wondering about making an appointment to get the results as its so hard going over results like that on the phine-can also talk about next steps...if there are any

 

[laurac1988]

That's what I thought.

Although.. I feel bad... My doc has a very strong Indian accent. I always have to ask him to repeat himself. Then I feel like I'm being ignorant...

 

[anniepie]

oh I hate it when that happens.. I used to live with a girl with a strong Belfast accent and everything she said I had to ask her to repeat...

 

[laurac1988]

He's the fertility specialist too... So can't change either.
Will just have to listen more carefully I guess.
DP is at work too, which I'm quite glad about tbh. That way I can take in info, process it and then relay it back. Rather than having to process it whilst trying to explain to DP too.

I'm hoping for this month. The one time our timing was perfect we had a chemical...

 

[anniepie]

what's your plan this month Laura? OPK? SMEP? Is your donor the same as before?

 

[laurac1988]

Donor is the same. We're just OpKing as normal then donation day +opk and day after... Or maybe day before +opk which is cd25 then day of + on cd26.

What about you?

 

[anniepie]

I'm gonna try and SMEP again-we've tried the last few cycles but not quite got 100% hit rate for various reasons-last cycle was looking so close to perfect then I think the pressure got too much for DH, he didn't 'complete' on the pos OPK day, then that left us in a funk the next day so that didn't happen... the next day did though

 

[laurac1988]

Ah ok. Well good luck with take 2 xx

 

[Lisaloo82]

When I got my results I asked for the doctor to call me to discuss it. Rather than wait ages down docs. Not sure if they do that where u live tho.

I'm liking the sound of ur plans girls. Laura how long do u normally get pos opk for? Xx

 

[laurac1988]

Usually for about 12 hours. And usually SUPER pos as well. Which is why I think I probably do ovulate... Just don't get a great temp rise...

I just got training through for promotion at work. It's During 2ww - good times

 

[Lisaloo82]

I was asking cos I'd go with donation a bit earlier Hun. I've read that the sperm has to go through some sort of process before it can fertilise the egg and that process takes 12 hours xx

 

[Lisaloo82]

I came across this the other day on FF.....

the most probable days for intercourse to result in pregnancy have been found to be one or two days before ovulation rather than the day of ovulation itself
