Hello Ladies!
I am new here - this is my very first post - and relatively new to TTC as well.
A little background on me: my husband and I have been married for 12 years. We decided back in 2005 to have a baby so I went off the pill. And nothing happened. We both went and got checked out and my systems were clear while his showed lower than average mobility/motility but nothing major. We never really pursued TTC aggressively - I guess you'd say we were not trying but not doing anything to stop it - until earlier this summer. We have both lost a significant amount of weight in the past couple of years (100+ pounds each) and have adopted healthier lifestyles. We decided that if we didn't try, that potentially we would look back in five or ten years and have regrets - but that if we tried, even if we don't have a baby, then at least we'll know we tried.
So, I went back to my doctor.
Last month was my first round of Clomid - and my first time tracking my cycle and temping. Unfortunately while tests indicated that I ovulated, AF showed up on CD33. I actually found B&B while doing a search for Softcups for AF - but then a thread from here was one of the first results. So now I am planning to use those Softcups this month! I've also started taking Royal Jelly and Pollen, and have ordered some preseed for BDing.
I have a couple of questions for you:
- is a CB Fertility Monitor worth the cost, do you think, if I am tracking my temp and CM?
- do any of you have your SOs on fertility supplements and if so, which brand? I want my DH to start taking some but unsure as to which is the better option.
Thanks very much and I look forward to getting to know you all better and hopefully doing a lot of celebrating, too!
Twinkle,
Just saw the post about your hamster. I am so sorry. Pets aren't just animals ... they are part of the family so I know how distraught you must feel. Hugs.
Just got back from the doctor. All is well. We are officially on Team Blue and Team Pink.
Any news on Purple's scan today?
FM,
You are getting close to treatment time. So excited for you! I know that your time is right around the corner.
OMM,
That is amazing news that you got the All Clear! Congrats. You are one step closer to baby. I'm looking forward to going on this IVF journey with you!
HA,
I saw The Help and cried through the whole thing. That scene is very sad as is the one where she is planting her trees. I'm sorry that you had to go into that unprepared. Even if you had braced yourself and watched it in the privacy of your own home, that would have been so painful. One thing that I liked about her character was her determined and hopeful spirit. I know some days you feel more hopeful than others, but I am hopeful for you and know that you will have your sticky bean and precious baby to hold.
Padbrat,
Where are you with your treatment? So excited for you, too. I feel the same way that you do about DE. We were seriously considering that as an option and it is true that while it may take some awhile to wrap their head around, it will be your baby that you nourish in the womb and out.
Bearlake,
Big hugs! Have faith, honey!
Butterfly,
Sounds like you have a big move on the horizon. Will you be closer to your bf/friend in London?
Drwgi, Northstar, LLBean, NMG, Skye, Bblve, Desperado, KeeKee, Never, Missyt, Ginger and all the other ladies who may be lurking or that I may have missed.

Hi dwrgi - have just sent in the form to terminate the lease on my apartment so I will leave here at the end of next month and go back to Ipswich
That was really interesting info Skye on the success rates. I will start thinking about ivf in the next few months and if I want to go that route and can find the money (i think the biggest thing is the chance of failure) so I have already emailed ARGC to find out about costs and will look abroad too, and if I do it it will more likely be with ED.
Anyway, will give it a few more months - am booked for a flyback anyway at the end of this month so will see what happens once I am back there for good
