TTC #1 and over 30

[bakingbabe]

oh I forgot to mention the primary reason she gave for letting me go: I don't say good morning cheerfully enough

ok enough venting for today

Luna, that is terrible!!!

twag charting is fine once I got the hang of it. I've discovered that if I don't get enough sleep my temp is always 36.7ish (like today) which is high for pre o and low for post o but at least I know the reason. Hubby has also gotten used to the beeping every morning and doesn't jump up thinking it's his alarm

gypsy that is strange, I say bd just in case!

peoples I've come to the conclusion that everyone is different and there is no for sure sign of pregnancy, that being said if lots of cm at 5 dpo is different for you hopefully it's a good sign

baking that is weird about the bits of blood but great about lots of ewcm! Are you taking anything to improve your cm? I've been using Robitussin for a few cycles now and it's really amazing the huge difference it makes

So the reason I couldn't sleep last night was that I got laid off yesterday. Well technically I was laid off because my employer can't just fire me because she doesn't like me but that's basically what it was...About a year ago the clinic I worked at was bought by a doctor that in my opinion has just always been dying to be in charge. One of her favorite things was to take you into her office and talk to you about whatever random thing she thinks you have done wrong (last week I was told that I was not to speak too positively about a new doctor that had just come on to work one day a week in front of another doctor that has worked there for a long time...wtf?)

Anyways because she couldn't actually fire me I got severance pay and I can collect employment insurance while I try to find something new but my dilemma is that even though I have worked as a veterinary technician for about 6 years I'm not actually registered (didn't go to school, just learned on the job) and it's pretty much impossible for me to find a tech job because everyone will say I'm not qualified. So basically I have to decide if I should take a lower paying vet receptionist type job, find a non vet receptionist job (probably low paying as well) or look at doing some sort of online course to get a new job altogether all at the same time as I may of may not end up preggo...sigh

I haven't been taking anything new, just prenatals and a DHA supplement to get the ewcm. But it's totally weird about the streaks of blood.

I can't believe that is happening to you. I hope the extra stress of deciding what to do doesn't hurt your ttc.

I'm feeling this quote so I thought I'd make it my image. Let's hope it helps us all relax this month!

xoxoxo

 

[gypsygirl1018]

That quote is awesome!

 

[Twag]

That is mental reasoning for firing someone

I have a lot of EWCM after O then goes then comes back for fertile period

 

[Newbie32]

Great quote baking!

Luna honey I am so sorry to hear that......absolutely awful news...I hope you do manage to step into a fabulous job, really soon Hun xxx

Hi Ladies,

I'm bleeding again, so I think I'm officially back in the TTC category from Limbo Hell. I'm feeling a lot better--I think some of the calamitous "world is ending" feelings were from hormones. Doesn't make it less traumatic, but with some distance trying again doesn't seem quite as terrifying.

Lots to catch up on with this thread. Let's give it a go!

Luna: That sucks! What a terrible, BS reason to can someone! Here's hoping you can find something else quick!

Simms: Congrats! Here's hoping it's a sticky one!

Newbie: Sorry AF got you. We're all very grateful for your contribution to science via your charting experiment. Out of curiosity, how long do the docs want you to try before they'll start examining you for problems? Mine told me six months, so I was wondering if this is your last cycle.

Bubbles, sheesh what a saga of a cycle. Hope it ends soon. Glad to hear no major thyroid problems.

Hey ladies, back at work now. Had forgotten how tiring teaching is... Hugs to you all x

Yup, same here!

Twag, welcome!

Mommy--sorry this was another BFN month for you. Your sig says last clomid month. Do you know what's next?

I'm sure I'm missing people. and to all.

 

[gypsygirl1018]

That is good to hear pbl. Hopefully everything has worked itself out and now you can start ttc again, as long as that is what you want to do. Fx that you get to leave us again soon!

 

[luna_19]

Nice to see you back at it pbl

Thanks Veganlily - sorry it took me so long to reply. I am still figuring this site out - but loving it!!

I am currently 10dpo and have been having some early symptoms (I hope). I have been very gassy (sorry if tmi), bloated, super sore low back pain, sleeplessness, yet tired - errr, some pressure in my abdomen and last week my gums were bleeding and I had a strange metallic taste in my mouth that I could not get rid of and a sore throat. My bbt chart has been a little weird I had a rise for OV then it dipped a bit and then dipped more at about 7dpo, then I had a big spike at 9 dpo and at 10dpo it is high again...not sure if that means anything.

I am keeping my fingers crossed to not get AF...

What do you guys think.

 

[gypsygirl1018]

Those all sound promising! When are you planning on testing?

 

[BFP Dreams]

I am trying to make myself hold out until Tues (Sep 18) to test - that is the day that AF is due. I will update you with my results - even if I cannot help myself and test early.

Fingers crossed...

 

[luna_19]

Almost in my tww

I swear highlighting my week on the calendar was the greatest idea I've ever had, hubby actually jumped ME before I could even start making dinner

 

[Twag]

Symptoms sound great BFP Dreams for you

That sounds like a great ideas Luna I might give that a go or just put it in DHs phone

 

[bubbles82]

Hey everyone! How are you all doing?

Not much to report here, still waiting for blood test results, which were meant to be a day 21 kind of test, but FF has given me my crosshairs back today and put me at 3dpo now, so if this is the case my test was actually done on the day of ovulation rather than a week after. I'm kind of hoping FF is right this time so I know what's going on and can hopefully get a very late visit from AF in a couple of weeks, I thought my chart was going to be never ending and get too long for my signature! Although it's a bit annoying being at the start of another TWW and know there's no potential BFP at the end as I had no idea O was coming if it did, so there was no BD in the fertile window.

So I will still be watching the rest of you with my fingers crossed! It's crazy you'll all have just about finished another cycle while I'm still on my crazy one! Really hoping it was just a one off and things may settle down again.

Oh and hello and welcome Twag! Nice to see another UK chick on the thread!

Hi ladies,

freaking out a bit here. Just went in for my cd13 scan with my second round on clomid. Since I didn't O last time the plan was going to give me an injection but none of the eggs were close to mature.

I thought next step would be to increase the dose but he started talking about surgery to check my tubes and ovaries! First he wants DH to go for a sperm analysis and depending on the results he might refer us straight to a fertility specialist instead.

I can't believe we're here already.

 

[Peoples22]

GL zeez.

Who all is in there tww? I'm 7 dpo and feeling like blah I don't wanna get my hopes up and be disappointed again of AF shows .

That sucks, Zee. Are they talking about an HSG?

Love it, Luna! I love having our bd schedule on the calendar too.
