TTC #1 and over 30

[Newbie32]

Thanks baking! It was a relief when I finally got him booked in and he didn't have to cancel the appt!!!

At least we are getting the results quickly, by the end of this week we should have half of the puzzle answered....then I know if it's time to find a new doc!!!

Hope you twwers have caught your eggys!!!!

 

[Newbie32]

Ps, zeropatience, I agree with the girls, and given my current frustrations with my doc is becoming clear to me that having the right doc who is looking at what they should at about the 9 month mark is v important!!!

how are my tww buddies? Today I'm having a horribly sore lower back, way worse than normal. Wishing it was a good sign but I probably just slept funny or something

Hi Luna! Not sure whether I'm in the 2ww without having been temping but I sure feel like I am. We shall see...

Luna - I'm the TWW too! For the first time in months, my boobs are sore after O day (for some reason it stopped doing that a few months ago, not sure why) - trying not to read anything into that though...

Lily - I don't think I could cope without temping now! My CM is a bit unreliable so I'd be on edge wondering if I ovulated or not...!

Baking and everyone else - good luck for all your tests and waiting!

 

[Newbie32]

Hope you caught it too goldfish!!! Looking forward to seeing a string of bfps from you girls very soon!!!

to our twwers!!

Good luck with the tests etc Newbie

I'm pretty sure I'm in the tww but I haven't been temping this month. I usually o between cd 12 -16. I felt some o pains on Fri and my cervix feels like it does usually after o so I'm guessing I o'ed this past weekend.

Good luck Baking

Exciting - so many of you in the TWW!
It would be great if we had some BFPs soon! Also sending some

AFM, nothing new, CD38 and waiting. I've been having what I think is ovarian pain since about a week and am wondering if I developed a cyst because I didn't ovulate. I think I'll wait one more week and then see my GP if the pain doesn't go away and if I still didn't get AF.

 

[AuCa]

Update - finally DH's doc called, and we have an appointment tomorrow afternoon. It's about time....

Newbie - any news on your side?

 

[luna_19]

Good luck! I hope they have good news

 

[Newbie32]

Great news auca! Fx it's good news!

My doc is a bit shit, they only call if results are abnormal, so I need to call them today and see if results are back yet, they are probably due today/tomorrow....

Yeah, that's usually how they work here as well. So I'm guessing the results are not normal, but we'll see.

 

[Newbie32]

Good luck then auca! Hopefully if there is a problem it is fixable!

 

[luna_19]

AuCa that's the case with most lab tests here but I think they go over SA results no matter what because either way you need to discuss the next step

My doctor had me go in to discuss my blood work even though it was all normal.

 

[AuCa]

Thanks Luna, that's definitely reassuring. And that's all I want right now, to be honest - to know what the next steps are, or better to take the next steps.

So I sort of lamed out on the fertility specialist appointment today...they didn't get all the paperwork from my prior ob-gyn in time and by the time I found this out I didn't have time to get it, so we rescheduled for march 12. Between friends (aka you ladies!!), I was actually relieved - 2 more cycle chances for it to happen naturally without needles, testing, ultrasounds, etc...march will officially be one year so that feels right. I thought I was so ready for the specialist and filled out mounds of paperwork a couple weeks back to prep but turns out maybe I wasn't quite ready...dh really supportive but my mom was not happy!! She wanted to call and see if we could get an earlier appointment - I told her firmly no! I think I'm in the 2ww-lots of post-o symptoms. I intended to temp this month but vacation got in the way. I'm a little concerned that I ovulated yesterday which would mean our bd timing was not great. I'm hoping however that I ovulated earlier - like last week when my cm was good and so was our timing. We shall see...if this isn't it, next month I will use opks and temp again.

 

[Goldfish]

AuCa and Newbie - good luck tomorrow!!

Luna - I had the opposite experience in the UK. When I had my blood tests the doctor told me "no action needed" without any explanations of what the hormone levels were or anything. So I insisted that he mail me the results and when I read it, it actually said something like ovulation detected but insufficient luteal phase!! And when hubby had his SA, they just mailed his results and didn't explain anything (luckily it was all fine)

Lily - looks like you and I are both up for fertility appts in March and it will be 'officially' 1 year! Though I had a few short cycles and 1 odd annovulatory so I'm already on cycle 12 now.

 

[luna_19]

I can't believe they wouldn't explain things when you get testing done! My GP didn't go into any detail, she just said everything was fine but my specialist explained everything. It also doesn't hurt that I can view my results online as soon as they're ready (so far it's been the same day) although hubby didn't want to make an account so we didn't get to see his...men

lily. I hope you don't have to end up going to your new appointment...you either goldfish
