TTC 1st child 35+ (Please spoiler any PG news/announcements).

[Lady H]

Oh bollox - sorry to hear that. Good news though that Brody is home. You can curl up the sofa together under a blanket and console xxx

 

[lovemutt]

Thanks for the advice Heavenly and Twinkle. Not to give my husband too much credit, his testing came from the internet... not the doctor, so I'm taking the results with a grain of salt. The motility test involved having a mini microscope sent to him.

Will gather up the courage to make an appointment with an FS.

 

[missyt]

oh pooh! the got me



On a good note - Brody is home - wearing a lampshade on his head and looking bruised and sore around the nether regions, bless him, Lots of loves for him now!

AF just got me too. But I guess I wasn't shocked since DH was out of town for ovulation last month.

Yeah for Brody being home!!!!

Thanks for the welcomes ladies it's lovely to read them all.

Our problem is not getting pregnant it is staying pregnant so IVF would be no good.

Although trying since November 2009 we have had a break after each MC as i have had problems with each MC, partly due to me doing them naturally. The last one took 11 weeks to complete. I was having weekly scans to check for infection but each time we have needed a break afterwards.

Natural is not for everyone but I find it easier that way, bit strange but I can't stand the thought of someone taking my baby away even if it has stopped its little heart beating.

Feeling positive this time that it's fourth time lucky for us. I ov'd on Saturday but did not bd since Sunday so I think we have missed this time but ready for next month.

I have waffled enough now, look forward to reading about you all

The cheeky whatsit, testing over the internet...well not over the internet...if you get what I mean...messy.

Happy Friday Ladies

Sorry about the es showing up. I think I am right behind you both. Today was cramps, exhaustion, and irritability

My temp is still up so maybe a tiny bit of hope for me.

We did an internet SA too, but no little microscope--only count. DH has done 7 by now. I tell him the ladies and the clinic must call him "speedy". When we went in the the IUI, I just sent him in the room on his own and sat in the waiting room with a magazine

We are already making plans for next month so the will not come as a crushing blow. We are trying IUI with donor sperm. DH is in charge of picking the donor. I told him the man is in charge of the "man juice". I love my hubby. He says that he does not want me on this emotional roller coaster for months because his aren't working. I guess we are thinking if the IUI with donor sperm doesn't work, then we will know I am infertile also. Hard to tell what my true status is when his is so poor.

I have just ordered this book, the reviews are fab! Anything that may help!!

Caved in this morning as today is CD28, and last four were 26 or 27. BFN.

 

[NorthStar]

Hi everyone :wave:

I'm not going to be around for the next week as I'm out of town in London all week.

Constancev18 good luck with your testing, and big to everyone else too.

As for "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" I have that book, it's very informative

Only thing is after reading it back in April(after 9 months of relaxed TTC) I was so sure we could now conceive with relative ease, that wasn't the case so it can give you a false sense of optimism.

But, I think education is a good thing, and empowering to know this stuff when it comes to our bodies.

 

[Lady H]

Enjoy your week Northstar! I was considering that book too so might take a look. Let me know what it's like Heavenly

Purple - how's Brody this morning?

Those of you with in residence I hope you are plotting for the next cycle and enjoying a wine or two

ipen - your DH sounds amazing! Can't even get mine to register with his new GP and plan SA. My GP told me how he can short cut but he does not seem to feel the time pressure

 

[missyt]

Good morning ladies. Just wanted to say hello.

Heavenly, would love to hear what you think of the book. I'm all about educating myself.

Ipen, best of luck with the donor sperm. Your DH is sweet.

LadyH, BOOOOO for the BFN. I think we should rename the acronym to Big F*cking Nasty!

Northstar, I hope you have a great week away!

 

[Dwrgi]

Hi girls!

I've got that book-it's very helpful and informative, and I agree with North Star, it does make you feel that by reading it you will inevitably get pregnant, and a crushing blow when nothing happens. But, we need to know as much as we can so that we can talk informatively to our specialists, and also have best possible advice too. I'd recommend it!

Missy and Purple, I'm with you! Dratted hag bag lady arrived just now, CD28. Srangely, no pains two or three days prior, which is a first, but dreadful period pains now, as if the bloody period arriving wasn't bad enough....

Purple-hope Brody is okay? Give him lots of dog cuddles from his Auntie Amanda,

Missy-glad you put your fut down. They don't know the half of it, these men of ours. Hope you're having a chilled weekend.

NS-enjoy your trip to London!

Constance-keeping all fingers crossed for you for next week!

Big hello to everybody!!

F%ck it girls, I'm going to get drunk tonight..... At least SHE arrived today, not tomorrow, so that I CAN go and get a drink!

Lots of love to you all,
Axxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[Lady H]

Sorry to hear she got you, have a large one for me! Hag bag is playing tricks on me, I know she is waiting. I want a Wiiiiinnnneeeee!!!
