The Muskattcers in 2WW

[peartree]

Ok - now I'm having a retching fit. Very very very very very nauseous.


...but I think it's cos I'm watching River Cottage and Hugh Fearnly Whittingstall cook up slugs.

 

[krissi]

Well crappy start to the day for me, started spotting. Never ever ever had a cycle this short so very gutted. She has shown up a whole 3 days early the cow bag.

krissi: Sorry that wretched got you ...Are you starting up clomid this cycle? Best of luck

peartree: nausea is a sign I am a huge symptom seeker and any sign of a upchuck is a good sign

Rach: I hope the SA goes well fingers crossed

Samba: BAD GIRL at once HAHAHA just kidding, have you tested today or still waiting? I need someone to pee on something quick

Red: try no matter what girl, last month I gave up towards the end, I was so tired I just wanted to lie there like a log but hubby wasn't having my lack of participation HAHAHA, this month will be our month let's take one for the team

Tansey: keep dropping by and giving us motivation, we need that baby dust streaming through the post


I have hubbys second SA tomorrow (the first one was a bust that sounded so wrong because he didnt abstain for the 3 days and they basically rejected it and said bring more, in a more professional manner ofcourse ), he is not to happy but I am shocked hes going to do it!
Going to also see my FS tomorrow to see if I can get a note to take some time off of work, I think the less stress might help me.
I gave my hubby all of of my ov test strips and preg test to hide from me so I do not use them this month, so I need to get my fix off of you ladies keep me posted on your testing please
Yeah I had a large latte again, it just gets me wired

 

[rachelle1975]

I love large Latte's! I have one every day but ask for skinny with a shot of caramel... feel more virtuous that way! I do try and go decaf after i ovulate but it doesn't get me hyper the way regular coffee does! My only vice though... 1 cup a day so i figure it's all good!

Nady - hope the SA goes good tomorrow - how long is the wait for the results?

I am feeling very much like lying there like a log BUT i know that DH and i prob need to 'clear the pipes' (sorry for crudeness) since his SA will be done Monday morning so we'll prob get some in tonight or tomorrow and then do 3 days of absination! Bring on the next SA

 

[peartree]

Hmmm capuccinos for me, but coffee's a rare thing for me. I stopped drinking tea and coffee a few years ago, but after DH and I moved in together, I've got into the habit of having a morning cuppa every day.

Rachelle - is it ok to just cut out caffeine after ovulation? I thought it was if you were ttc? So is it bad for ttc, or actually bad for the baby? My friend's cut out green tea too, but China's got one of the largest populations in the world?

Urgh... temps on a downward spiral. is calling on my door. Grr!

I was kinda hoping that my tetchy moody self was as a result of pregnancy hormones, but no.

 

[Sambatiki]

Good luck Ladies!

Hi all, I hope I can join you, I found this team through Tanya's recruitment thread on LTTTC.

I'm 35 in a few weeks and DH is 40. I'm not sure how long you would say we are TTC for TBH, I left things to nature for 9 years but always suspected something would be up fertility ways as I have had a history of gynae problems; no AFs for years, then very infrequent and regular gynae pains. A laparoscomy in 2001 found scarring and a 'hostile and aggravated' womb but I was never actually diagnosed as having endometrious (sp). I nearly had a hysterectomy 6 years ago as had enough but I am glad I didn't as things kinda settled down a couple of years ago. After fertility tests last year I was also diagnosed with PCOS in January 09, DH tests all normal.

We are just about to start our 5th cycle of Clomid tomorrow and I am trying to remain positive but am feeling the pressure as we only have 2 cycles left and then that is probably it for us (I don't think I will be a candidate for IVF as have other medical issues). I have been having dreadful side-effects on Clomid but I am determined to see it through!

Not been on here long but I have found the site invaluable for gaining more knowledge and its great to have found a place where we can all share our experiences and support each other.

I hope this forum is as lucky for the rest of us as it has been for others and I'm looking forward to getting to know you all

Welcome Curly!!

Sambatiki - Sorry the witch got you.

Peartree - gutted about your temp drop

Naddy - How did your appointment go? Meant to get on this morning to wish you luck, but time just disappeared!


I've got a positive OPK this morning (or very near to positive anyway) so guess I know what we are doing tonight!! And then all weekend long! Going to be trying preseed for the first time too. Wish me luck!!

Hi I was not able to get on until now...so my FS said that hubbys sperm has slow mobility and I am not responding as good as he wants me to, to Clomid, so he suggest, I get an HSG test done (I heard its bad ) and possible IUI if my insurance covers it, which I really do not think it does because they don't even cover Clomid...soo with that said ladies, I do not know if we hit a brick wall...what should we do?? I really just want to thanks for hearing me out

 

[Lilly123]

welcome to all the new recruits!! I hope u all get your s soon!!

My IVF may be delayed till end August as I may have ovulated on birth control which messes up the whole cycle

Hope everyone is well... got me some action in last night! It was almost like old times... pre ttc if i can remember that far back Tend to Ovulation around CD14 which could be anytime from thurs-sun.... when do you reckon DH should do his test?? next week after i've ovulated or get it over and done with??

Help!! xx

 

[Curlywurly]

Morning everybody and hi wrightywales. Hope you get your AF soon Tanya so things can keep moving for you .

I had a wonderful realisation yesterday lol , looking at the first chart I have done it has occurred to me that the side-effects and low depressed moods I am taking from Clomid are all happening in the luteal phase after ovulation. This part for me is 20-22 days hence why I think I am getting depressed again as am down so long. I'm on CD3 and have felt normal since the arrived

So, at least I know it is just the hormone imbalance on Clomid that is probably affecting me so much, now I just need to figure out with my GP how to manage it. I don't want to go on anti-depressants, surely there is some sort of temporary measure a person can use for a few weeks every month? I'm getting so low I'm worried IYKWIM.

Wishing everybody a lovely day, its damp here in Northern Ireland but I hope to get out for a nice walk at some stage to keep the head cleared.

 

[rachelle1975]

Hey curlywurly

Sorry you feel down but it's fantastic that you know what is happening. What about a homeopathic remedy? I know St John's Wort is meant to be very good for improving mood imbalances - my GP recommended it to me ages ago but was on BCP so couldn't take it??

Good luck chick

 

[peartree]

Rachelle, I reckon do the SA 2-3 days before ovulation, so that it empties the system and allows for all the lovely new strong spermies to build up for ov day. Purge and store! Is that a bit crude? It's our system, cos DH has low sperm count.

got me. Here goes another month. I'm now confused cos she came during the day, and I had to wait until the next day to reset my CBFM as CD1, so now my FF chart and CBFM is one day out of sync. Confused..

 

[krissi]

Hi Girls,

All of you in the 2WW good luck for testing. I am off on holibops on Saturday and will be Oing whilst there so I armed with instead cups and OPKs and god knows what else (please don't let my bags be searched how embaressing) and then will be in 2ww on my return.

 

[Curlywurly]

Have a lovely time Krissi, I'm away for a girly weekend on Friday and I think I'm due to OV on Monday so am apprehensive about missing things! Starting OPKs on Thursday, taking them with me, and will make sure BD on Friday morning before I go and then on Sunday evening when I get back lol. Oh and Instant Cups, this will be my first time trying them, I hope they're easy enough?
