TTC #1 and over 30

[Newbie32]

Hi girls!

Getting close for you twwers!!! I've got everything crossed for you all, with or without symptoms!!

Horsey good luck with the hsg, sounds like Luna has good advice!

Lily sounds like you better keep up that bd!

Goldfish and twag those charts look good, hopefully they aren't messing with you! Fx!

I called the doc yesterday, they were busy and said they'd call back and didn't. Got dh to call them at end of the day and reception said she didn't make it in yesterday....grrr...hopefully they call him when they say they will today (lunchtime)...

I'm going to keep myself busy getting my hair done!

Have a great day girls xx

 

[AuCa]

Oh, good luck horseypants!! Fingers crossed!

Goldfish - your docs really don't seem very good or empathic. They obviously don't understand how important this info is for you.

We just got back from the appointment (and Starbucks after that), and unfortunately no good news for us. Luckily we already expected it, so it didn't come as big of a shock as it probably would've been otherwise. DH's sperm count is pretty much non-existent, so I guess we are officially declared infertile. We got a referral to the fertility clinic, so now it's waiting for a consultation and more tests I guess. I might get my doc to run some tests on me before that, just to utilize the time.
I'm just glad we found out sooner rather than later. Since I already expected this I'm actually feeling pretty ok right now, but who knows, maybe it'll hit me later. DH is understandably more upset than I am.
Just gotta stay positive....

oh I'm so sorry
It wouldn't hurt to have your testing done while you're waiting so you're all ready to go when you get to the specialist.

 

[Newbie32]

Oh auca I'm so sorry to hear that hun

Hopefully the fs will have a solution, I think there are procedures that only require just one sperm? I'm so sorry hun x

 

[Twag]

Acua so sorry you are coping so well I agree about utilising the time & getting checked out yourself so you all prepared for the fs

AFM -So temp drop this morning but tbh I do not trust that temp worst night sleep in ages couldn't get comfy kept waking up and with my mouth open so this is why it has an open circle not a true temp at all will see what tomorrow brings

Goldfish your chart looks great

Gl Luna & Baking

GL at your appointment today horsey

 

[Twag]

Newbie enjoy having your hair done

 

[Veganlily]

Oh auca I was so hoping your at home tests were wrong. Sending big virtual hugs to you and your plan sounds really good. Please keep us posted and lean on us when you need us for support.

Twag-that's not a particularly large dip-many pg charts have small peaks and valleys but its the overall climb that's more important than any individual temp.

Newbie - how's your hair look?!

Baking and Luna - what are your testing plans?

Hp-good good luck today - please come back and let us know how it goes.

Lillyt-how are you doing this cycle hon?

AFM, got some Ewcm yesterday so even though opks are showing negative I do think ovulation is nearing - headed to dtd right now as a matter of fact!

Happy Thursday and

 

[Twag]

Looks like a pre-O dip to me on your chart Lily go get that egg

AFM - feeling AF achy today dunno think will show her face this weekend onwards & upwards

 

[zeropatience]

Auca, so sorry for the news. And you are handling it so well. It's tough news but now you have the knowledge you need to plan for the next steps.

Veganlilly-good luck to you catching that egg and enjoy the process!

Twag-hope the stays away and that your achy because of the bad night of sleep...

Newbie-any news from your doc?

Twwers- i have a feeling a bfp will come out this month...just a hunch....:fairydust:

AFM-more EWCM this cycle than ever before, so i'm hopeful! Even though neg OPKs so far... DH and I have been busy BD'ing and I'm feeling positive about this cycle. Just had a temp spike today and if FF confirm O happened today then I think I have a good chance of catching that egg...

Ladies, I wanted to say thanks for your replies to my last question. I just need to hear it from women who are going through the same thing and I feel a lot better now. I know I just started my TTC journey but having the support of you in this forum has been priceless.

 

[Twag]

Thanks zero tbh the AF ache has gone and that damn back pain is back now wondering if it is my chair tbh

That is a good temp spike hope you caught that eggy

I have a good feeling that there will be some coming soon to this thread GOOD LUCK ladies

 

[bakingbabe]

Twag, I hope that little dip was just a matter of not sleeping well. Hope tomorrow's temp is back up!

Auca, I'm so sorry about the sa results. I'm sure the fs will help. I agree that you could use the time to get yourself checked out. It was so nice to go in to the RE having all the blood work out of the way.

Lily and ZP, you go get that eggy!

Newbie, any news on the sa?

I'm relaxing for the time being. Think I'll make some cupcakes today. Not much I can do until the 10th (when this cycle should be over) so I'm just taking it one day at a time and try not to get my hopes up.

 

[Twag]

Thanks we shall see tomorrow

I have completely ignored the TWW and tbh it has flown by and been so calm & stress free no trying to over analyse everything and SS I feel very calm about TTC right now

 

[AuCa]

Thanks everybody!
It really helps to get some support here, as it is a topic I don't really talk about other than here. My mom is pretty much the only person who knows. It's even hard to talk with DH about it, maybe even harder. I decided to give him some time to cope with things on his own (he is the typical man - doesn't want to talk about feelings too much).

I'm just looking forward to the weekend and to some good sleep. DH has been reading the Hunger Games and stays up until super late (and then gets up at 6am), so my sleep has been super disrupted this week.


Hopefully we'll get some good news from you ladies this cycle

 

[LillyTame]

Lillyt-how are you doing this cycle hon?

AFM, got some Ewcm yesterday so even though opks are showing negative I do think ovulation is nearing - headed to dtd right now as a matter of fact!

I'm just waiting....and waiting lol Expecting OV any day now, but I'm hoping within the next two days because OH has to work late next week and I don't think he'll be up for much BD'ing. No EWCM for me *pout*...drinking grapefruit juice and taking mucinex. Hopefully now that we are a lot closer to OV it will surprise me. Didn't get any last month (that I noticed).

FX'd for you! This stage is kind of exciting...trying to catch the eggy lol.

 

[horseypants]

AuCa, i'm so sorry. I hope your OH can be consoled. -I think newbie is on to something. For now get good sleep. Hugs.

Luna and others, THANKS. Today went well even though I was wimpy and scared during it. Tomorrow hsg. I have a weird feeling something is wrong with my left tube but heaven knows i get a LOT of weird feelings. Maybe tomorrow I will get lucky and things will look good. Then I will breathe a sigh of relief that the majority of my lady parts are textbook. If there really is something wrong with my tube, I will hope it is just one. I will try to remember if it hurts, it is almost over. Very good advice.

Veganlily, get it grl.

 

[Twag]

Glad yesterday wasn't too bad horsey good luck for the hsg today

AFM - temp same today as yesterday & I slept fine last night I do not think this is my cycle that I get my bfp pretty sure the will show this weekend oh well onwards & upwards

to those in 2ww & waiting for O
to those waiting on tests etc

 

[Veganlily]

Twag how long is your lp usually?

Lillyt-I hear you on the waiting!

Horseyp-sending good thoughts your way today girl

Happy Friday to everyone!

 

[Twag]

my LP is 11 days although last month the didn't show until 16dpo!! evil cow! so I reckon she will turn up anytime this weekend tbh either tomorrow or latest Monday
I am so tired today I am seriously struggling, also TMI my lady parts down there just feel off they feel sore and uncomfortable

Happy Friday everyone

 

[Veganlily]

My opk finally got darker today -still not a true positive but i often dont get true positives - so I think I'll o between today and Sunday. Frankly I'm a little bd'ed out between last months marathon and vacation-lol!

 

[horseypants]

The bad news is only one tube showed up on the hsg this morning. The good news I guess is I was right and not paranoid. I'm on a silly device so sorry a bit terse. Twag - still looking very good.
