TTC #1 and over 30

[Newbie32]

Thanks Luna, yeah I hope he does too! Doing my head in!

 

[AuCa]

That sounds really frustrating Newbie I hope for you guys that he'll come around eventually (I get it, it's a tough topic for them; but men also gotta realize that in the end it affects both people, not just them).
My DH had his blood tests done today (LH and testosterone), should get the results next week.

Other than that my body is still on strike re ovulation, oh well.
But we adopted a bunny today , so it's been a good day! Still has to be neutered, but we can pick him up next Wed. Very excited

How fun AuCa! It never once crossed my mind that you would have to spay/neuter them...learn something new everyday!

We got him from the animal shelter, and they neuter/spay all their rabbits (once you adopt them), it's one of their conditions.
I used to have rabbits when I was younger, and I'm excited to have one again I would love to have cats, but DH is allergic So we have 2 hamsters and a bunch of fish. And now our new addition, Mr Bunny

 

[Newbie32]

Thanks auca....I think this ttc stuff is really starting to put a lot of strain on our relationship....maybe a break is the answer...I'm just not sure!

V exciting re the bunny! I love animals

 

[luna_19]

Exciting about the bunny! (although I have to say anesthetizing rabbits is definitely one of my most hated job duties )

 

[Veganlily]

Newbie - hopefully dh won't end up needing a SA bc maybe you are pg this cycle?!

Lillyt-your chart is looking very good to me...fingers crossed for you.

Auca - congrats in the bunny and how are you doing in your cycle?

Baking-how are you doing and are you testing tomorrow??

Luna and twag - how are my cycle buddies feeling?

As we approach the one-year mark I'm glad we made the fertility specialist appointment. I do suspect something is going n with us. Could be as simple as dh's motility issues, but will be glad to have some input. The clinic is known for being very good and successful so I am hopeful that whatever is done happens quickly-I am ready! I predict IUI but will keep you updated for sure.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekends! Good luck and to all!

 

[bakingbabe]

Lily, I'm hanging in there. I have some light cramping this morning but nothing else so I'm just waiting to see what happens. I'll keep you all updated.

 

[luna_19]

Good luck with your appointment lily. Have you had any of your testing done yet? Just because you haven't been successful doesn't mean there is something wrong, look at us, all tests perfectly normal and 15 cycles later we're still waiting for the perfect sperm to meet the perfect egg (as the specialist I saw the other day put it)

 

[bubbles82]

Hey girls, just popping in to say hello, I'm still wishing hard for BFPs for you all very soon

 

[horseypants]

Luna, that's a good idea. I am going to try making the appointment for mine. Newbie, mine is seriously dragging his feet on the SA. I have told him repeatedly this stuff is fifty fifty but he says, I've gotten u pg twice, which is a good point to a degree - but it is still 50/50. Another excuse for him is we have to pay out of pocket.

Lily, hugs, I had some drinks last night too. Cheers to that.

AuCa, congrats on the bunny and I hope you o soon

Luna, I gotta know why anaesthetizing the rabbits is tough.

LilyT and baking, your charts are looking great.

 

[luna_19]

Well for one I am terribly allergic to rabbits so if I don't wash my hands well enough then touch my face or eyes I will suffer for the rest of the day, also surprise surprise rabbits don't like being gassed and tend to be big freaks about it. Once I had a death grip on this one bunny as we gave it the gas and finally I felt it relaxing so I loosened it just a bit and bunny decided that was the ideal time to launch himself onto the floor! Luckily he didn't get injured.

 

[bakingbabe]

No good news from my end, girls. arrived late this morning. Honestly, I'm kinda okay with that considering I knew this month was going to be a wonky cycle because of the bc pills, surgery, and recovery. Hoping this AF will reset my body (I'm wondering if I didn't have a strong o) and this new cycle will lead to a bfp.

 

[bakingbabe]

From the looks of it too, it may not be as painful as previous AF's. I guess that's an upside to getting rid of the endo.

 

[luna_19]

oh baking that sucks

 

[bakingbabe]

Luna, you're about 4 days ahead of me but we can still be cycle buddies.
Lily and Twag, I'm not too far behind you guys now. But I think you have longer cycles than I do?
Good luck to everyone!

 

[luna_19]

yay cycle buddies!
I started taking a B complex this month so maybe I won't have another 23 day cycle

 

[Goldfish]

Baking and lily hopefully that will be the last AF for a good loooong while!
Auca - maybe the bunny will be a good omen...!

This weekend I've started the grapefruit juice and evening primrose oil routine again in the hopes to get more/better CM. Sometimes I wonder if I should just be more "relaxed" about it all but I can't bear the thought of not trying stuff either!

 

[AuCa]

Bakingbabe - sorry to hear that

Goldfish - lol, true. Never thought about it that way but makes sense Maybe I'll finally ovulate when we can pick up our bunny (they just called and said tomorrow, surgery schedules changed, yay).

Luna - still excited about your HSG?

AFM, still no change. No ovulation has happened yet, and now I'm thinking that this cycle will be a complete waste as DH is having his SA next Monday which means that he'll have to abstain for a few days, which is probably exactly when I'll ovulate. Lovely.

 

[luna_19]

That happened the month mine had his SA too

I'm super nervous/excited! 2 days! And then bd-a-thon starts the day after
