TTC #1 and over 30

[Veganlily]

Newbie - sorry about the break from ttc, Hun. Maybe it'll be just what you need and you'll get a speedy BFP once you resume. Good luck with your exciting transition and please don't be a stranger!

 

[bubbles82]

So pleased for you Luna! Already been on your journal to pass on the congrats, and it made me wonder how all you girls are doing. Hope there are more BFPs to follow!

Good luck for you Newbie, and hopefully you'll swing by once in a while (those few months will probably just fly by )

I got too impatient and just booked myself an appointment with my GP with the hope that she can access the results of my blood tests (which were ordered by the specialist). We only have our next specialist appt in 3 weeks from now and I'm sick of waiting and not knowing any results (of course nobody lets us know anything ).

And then I ended up having mid-cycle spotting for 2 days (never had this before ), and now CD24 and no ovulation again I'm starting to wonder if DH's diagnosis shocked my body into going into early menopause or something... That's why I also really would like to know my results (FSH, estrogen etc).

Auca - might just be a once-off strange spotting sort of cycle. For some reason once people start TTC strange things happen to their cycle that they don't usually come across before TTC (or maybe they just didn't notice before?). Hopefully you'll O later (or if not, then hope you O next cycle!)

Congrates Luna! Yay I'm so happy for you! Happy and healthy 9 months!

I'm still stalking all you other ladies and have my fingers crossed for BFPs for every single one of you. I see there is a lot of testing and treatment happening and hopethat it gives you that extra boost that you need. Lots and lots of Baby dust!

arrived un-annouced today

 

[bakingbabe]

I'm sorry, twag.

 

[Goldfish]

Twag

 

[horseypants]

so sorry twag

 

[Veganlily]

Sorry twag. Hang in there sweetie.

Where is everyne in their cycle and plans? I feel like we need a roll call!

I'm days away from AF (I think) after very early ovulation with absolutely no bd in fertile window because of being sick. For now I'm just hoping for AF to arrive so I can start fresh in conjunction with my specialist appointment on march 12. Called all my prior doctors to get my medical records sent in time. Will definitely keep all of you updated!

What about everyone else??

Xoxo

I am probably going to do my first and only iui this Friday and I'm not feeling hopeful because of OH's bad SA. Long term plan would be to scale back wedding plans in favor of saving up to try an icsi next year.

 

[bakingbabe]

I'm in the last week of the tww with iui with injectables next month if needed.

 

[AuCa]

Lily - excited that your specialist appointment is (almost) here! We got another SA booked for the same day, and next specialist appt on the 25th.

Twag - stupid AF

Bakingbabe - Fingers crossed for this cycle, and IUI sounds like a good plan!

Horsey - I do wonder if there is not a way to boost your DH's swimmers....I don't think you would need ICSI with your numbers, probably just "plain old" IVF. It really sucks that you might have to scale back your wedding plans though

 

[AuCa]

So, while DH is away ("work dinner"), and I'm trying to eat an enormous pizza (my only chance to order pizza is when he's away because he can't eat cheese but will anyway if I order it..men...) I finally convinced myself to start a journal too (I put the link in my signature).....

Hope all of you are doing just great

 

[zeropatience]

Congrats Luna!! Yay!! So exciting!!!

Newbie, we'll miss you! All the best in this new chapter of your live!

Auca, I doubt that you're going into early menopause silly. I you get all the answers you want at your appointment with GP!

Lilly asked for an update, so here's where I'm at: 8DPO, just waiting. DH had a job scare right during my fertile window and said he's feeling under a lot of pressure to perform at home and at work, so he asked to take a break from TTC until the job thing is resolved. He thought he was going to lose this job (which was very scary!) but it turns out they'll reassign him to a different project (which will likely mean that we'll move in the next few months). We'll find out which project in about 3 weeks. We were able to rally up and BD the day I got a +ve OPK, so I'm still hopeful. But, since we're not TTC'ing anymore I stopped temp'ing and decided to just wait for AF to show...Wow, that was a long update

How's everybody else doing?

 

[Goldfish]

Horsey - good luck with your upcoming IUI
Baking - fx you won't be needing that IUI!
Zp - sorry to hear about dh's job scare, glad it's going to be ok

AFM, AF is due any day now and my chart's not looking too good

 

[AuCa]

Oh man Goldfish Still hoping for you....

zp - you were right, I'm not going into early menopause Just good my results back (Day 3 hormone levels) and they all look good. I guess my body is hormonally perfectly balanced, but just hates normal length cycles
My mom was actually so funny when we talked about it (she apparently used to have long cycles as well). She said "well, if we are born with a certain amount of eggs, but you only ovulate every 40 days instead of every 28 days, that means that you should have more eggs left!!!"

 

[Twag]

GL with the IUI Horsey

 

[AuCa]

Yes, thinking of you Horsey!!
(edit - I think the IUI got postponed to Sat)

 

[bakingbabe]

Well, I will be heading to an iui appt sometime this weekend or Monday.

showing up two days early is not fun.
