I am so stalking this thread for all you in TWW now!! COME ON BABYs!!!!!!!! WE NEED SOME s!!!!!!

& to everyone else.

DrS - I hope you kick feeling No fun!!

 

[froliky2011]

Dashka - I am looking forward to hearing how everything goes with tests etc. I am glad DH's SA is normal too. Unexplained infertility makes me so curious. I just want to get to the bottom of the mystery. When does MIL officially move out for the summer?

Hey Ladies sorry I have been MIA but this week has been tough with pretty much no sleep dur to pregnancy insomnia and crazy itching that has driven me crazy and left me with sores all over my body

I went back to the hospital today and they have decided to book me in for induction on Sunday night as Zara has just grown too big, if I leave her to come by herself then they will force me to have a C-Section as the risks will be too high. I had my heart set on a natural delivery so I prefer to try the induction and hope I do not need too many interventions. From the scan she is measuring 4.7 kilos which is over 10 pounds !!!! I am not too nervous as just want her out now.

I need to catch up on all your news but I see that a fair few are in the TWW, I hope that we can help keep you sane until you test and hopefully we can all celebrate your BFP's together

For those about to O go grab your guy or Dr and catch that egg

I am willing a BFP summer explosion for this thread.

For all the pregnant Mammas I hope that pregnancy is treating you kindly and that your DH's are taking good care of you

Well I am off to see if I can make myself sleep as I need to store some energy for Sunday,

Take care and catch up soon

Carole - Oh my Zara is giving you some trouble!! at least there is a light at the end of this tunnel now - not long till sunday! Ill thinking of you then and hoping you manage with no other interventions and will be waiting on the edge of my seat for you to come back (whenever you get a minute) with a picture for us.

Good morning ladies!

Thanks for you kind words – Sometimes I want to tell the MIL and other days I don’t – It’s just after so many years of trying I feel like it puts more pressure on because she is living with us Mon-Fri….She has asked me a few times what I go to acupuncture for and I just tell her it’s ‘girly stuff’ and I also tell her my special diet is for my digestion cause I’m having a lot of digestive issues (not totally the reason!) I also have to 'hide' some of my supplements/ fertility books etc. from her... My family knows and so does my SIL – so she may already know if her daughter told her???! Anyway – I will see –if I can get away with not telling her it would be better.
She’ll be going away (not living with us) from June 9-Sept 8 (as she goes to Turkey every year for the summer to be at her summer place and see her other daughter who lives there. The thing is by the time I get the specialist appointment –it could be a few months wait I’m sure…and then we are going away in July during my ov. time so that leaves late August if it works out that I can get it sorted by then…. (mind you they may want to do tests first) We’ll see I hope DH is on board – I kind of mentioned that I was thinking about it and didn’t get much of a comment…. I don’t get much comment at all re: TTC from him –it’s kind of frustrating. Only tell him when the right “jiggy” nights are and then tell him when I get AF – that is about it. I keep telling him all that I’m doing/adding each month and said that if he’s not comfortable with TTC any more to tell me – but he just says –no no it’s fine it’s up to you…. But then no comment more than that … (No!! It’s not just up to me!!!)

Just trying to take it day by day and trying not to get stressed about it… I am still listening to the “Fertile Mind” program tracks before bed – I fall asleep to one of them every night – and it makes me sleep like a baby and I feel better in the morning too…. It’s been about 3 weeks since I started listening to them – but been doing it EVERY single night. I think it is working some kind of magic slowly andI feel like I’m getting closer somehow.

Sorry for the really selfish post (but I’ve probably answered some of your questions now..)

xoxo

 

[dashka]

Lils – what does that mean – you’ll have to deal with Miami?? Oh the UK trip came up fast didn’t it! Sleeping over the pub sounds kind of fun! Never done that…. Xoxo

Butterfly – Oh sweetie – I hope your mum is okay and the surgery goes smoothly. Your chart is also still looking good!

Carole – YAY for Sunday – Zara here you come! WOW 10 lbs!! You get yourself tons of sleep now girl…xoxo

Dwrgi – Nice temp rise hun!! You are a temp-a-holic now! (like the rest of us!)

Dr. S – hope you are feeling better with the meds…

HTJ – hope you are feeling better soon! I had a URI I’m sure a few months ago and it was terrible – chest hurt so bad when I coughed… Good luck on Sat at the follie check! Hey – just curious – how many times do you typically have to go to clinic in one cycle for an IUI?… I remember when I did it years ago it felt like I was going every day for bloodwork and vaginal ultrasound until they could do the IUI…

HA – how are you today ?– still so happy for you!

Purple, Pad, Nessaw, Agape, Frolicky, Asry , Manu, Twinks, Never, Bear, Chicken, Grkprn (and anyone else I missed) – Hello huns!!

Big hugs all around!!

HTJ – Hey – just curious – how many times do you typically have to go to clinic in one cycle for an IUI?… I remember when I did it years ago it felt like I was going every day for bloodwork and vaginal ultrasound until they could do the IUI…

The first month I was indeed in there quite often while they determined my baselines etc. Now though, I only go to the office twice during a cycle. Once between cd 12-14 for the follie check, then again two days later for the IUI. They aren't monitoring my bloodwork or anything at all right now since he is relying solely on the clomid and trigger shot for ovulation. If we don't have success this month, I'm going to request that they get more... agressive with that stuff so we know what is going on.

Thanks HTJ - I guess it also depends on the clinic - I swear I was in there at least 10 times every cycle (and going on my lunch hour - but thank God I had a cool boss back then and told him I was TTC- things are different now could never tell my current boss that so would have to go very very early morning) I really hope this next one works for you!!

 

[drsquid]

dash- that sounds like a lot for an iui. i went more when i was doing injections but id go baseline, day 12 then for the iui that was it

afm- feeling a bit better today but i also went to bed at 8pm and slept til 7:30 am. had to deal with someone completely useless at work today and managed to simply grind my knuckle into my forehead rather than snap at her so... that is good. oy 2 more weeks. my poor parents while im home

 

[dashka]

thanks Dr.S - what does it mean when you say you'd go "baseline" - what day is that?

Oh you poor thing - glad you got some extra sleep... LOL about your parents... Just tell their teenage daughter is back with raging hormones!

 

[drsquid]

problem is that there are no hormones... basically ive shut my ovaries off. like menopause. tired, cranky etc. a baseline ultrasound is usually day 2-3 of your cycle. take a look at the antral count, see if you have any cysts, make sure there isnt already a lead follicle that will suppress the others

 

[padbrat]

Hey all...

Thanks Lils for explaining about the EWCM in FF.... it isn't on the version on my phone, but I found it on the main site just fine... now FF says that I may have OV'd CD 19-21... which is sounding a lil late to me... anyway... duff cycle...

Hubby is home now so I am on CD 25 so got some in CD24 and to day.... No chance of anything as a result of that I know...

Body you had better get your act together for next month is all I can say!!

Dr s and Hit sorry you are feeling poorly... get well soon!

Dash how you.. when is the IUI?

Dwrgi hows the rollercoaster? Mine is crap!

Hey Purps!

Fro happy 9 weeks n Asry happy 7 weeks!

Awww Carole poor you... at least you know you only def have another couple of says to go xx

 

[chickenchaser]

Evening ladies

LilSluz - Greek porn Love it The joke not the porn
I will keep checking for EWCM but I really don't think DH is ready for me to explain that one to him
Hope you sort your passport out

Butterfly67 - Hope your mum gets on Ok

purplelou - Full charting and temping sounds so complicated, I think I will see how I get on first. You guys may need to do me a charting for dummies

HitTheJackpot - Hope you are feeling better soon and FX for you for saturday

caroleb73 - Good luck for sunday, and pray Zara will be in your arms soon, so excited for you

Everyone can you please explain what MIA is please I'm still new to all this
To you all and especially those I haven't spoken to above

Hello lovely ladies. Hugs all round for you. My highlight today, new slippers arrived from amazon and the soles are Vanilla scented. Love them but that is all for my weekly highlight! Xxxx

 

[dashka]

pad - glad the hubby is home! Glad you are doing a 'practice run' on the temping this month.
I'm not going for IUI yet .... just thinking about it maybe in a few months.... seeing MD in 2 weeks, then ask for referral for specialist (RE)...then see if they want testing... then maybe IUI? Not for sure yet.... xoxo

OMG-10lbs!!! Flippin' eck, what have you been feeding her?????!!!!! It's brilliant news that you know that you will have Zara in your arms, one way or another, on Sunday. What an amazing feeling and amazing prospect. I'm going all goosebumpy just thinking about it! So, in the meantime, lots of curries, lots of 'the other' and perhaps even acupuncture might make her come of her own accord. Mind you, at that size, I think I'd opt for a C section.

Huge truckloads of luck to you, and wish I was there to hold your hand,

Lots of love,
Amanda
