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

Greenleaf that's awful about your job. Do you work for one of those swanky hospitals in KL where you can waltz in and see a specialist within 5 mins without a referral? Love love love that style hospital, but I bet they cost a bomb to run!

No, I work in a poor government hospital where you have to wait 4 hours to see a doctor in the ER If I work in those swanky hospitals, they won't run out of funding to pay staff as they are filthy rich!

Hope things work out for you I've never had any medical intervention yet so I'm not sure what to expect. Perhaps I'll find out soon. Going for my OBGYN check-up next month... *shudder*

Happy Thanksgiving to US buddies! Happy Thursday to everyone else!

Ugh, EWCM (& lots of it) on CD8 & CD9??? Usually not until CD14+?! I will just have hope that maybe my cycles are getting shorter & the Vitex is working. Otherwise, the PM word comes to mind... & that's the worst cuss word of all!

Went to the beach this morning w/DH, did a reiki meditation on some rocks overlooking the ocean, did a 2mi power-walk on the beach, then had a big breakfast in the sun on a very gorgeous day. I am very grateful for this! And I am very thankful for all of you ladies who have been here for me through my best & my worst days! I don't know what I ever would have done without you all!

Happy Thanksgiving to the US ladies! Happy Almost-Friday to everyone else!

Purps - Well, at least with us 35+'rs the MOST you would have to stay around is 10-11 years! (that's all) You're so sweet to think of us when you have other things in your life now.

I would often get EWCM on cd8/9/10 when I would O on cd11 so hopefully nothing to worry about (hmm, I did just think that I was 43/44 when this was the case so maybe not so good however, I did get pg with O on CD11 so I will stand by it )

Sounds like you had a totally lovely day

Pebble –wow that is so scary about work….. Keep safe hun….

Lils – so nice that your sis is coming to stay with you….. Happy Thanksgiving! EWCM on CD 8/9 sounds exactly like my cycles and I ovulate on CD 11 (just like BF)…. Hmmm would be interesting if that vitex was working! Your morning on the beach with DH and powerwalk sounds awesome!!! Gosh I wish I lived that close to the beach. If I did I probably have way more EWCM…. Hope you are enjoying your holiday with sis too….

Purps – yes please stick around – I would love to see you on here love….

Nessaw – oh no –re: power outage…. Were the 5 yr olds scared? I hope the bleeding stops soon – and I know what you mean about eating comfort foods – have been doing that myself the last week….

Greenleaf – must be hard to work in the poor gov’t hospital…. GL with your check up next month

Pad – yes stay – please stay!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all the US ladies !!

AFM - CD2 today – cramps were really bad yesterday (with clots-TMI – which I never get) probably because it had been 5 weeks since my last AF and the last one was a Lupron bleed which wasn’t like a real AF. Still pretty sad most of the time – but trying to get through the days and can't wait for this week to be over … I did however book a follow up appointment with RE to get some more details of the failed IVF and to see what he advises.. It is on Dec. 20th. Going to the endocrinologist specialist in about half hour to see what he thinks about the thyroid nodule… I don’t know if they’ll do the needle biopsy today – but man I just watched a video on youtube about the procedure and was not too pleased……. ouch

Hi ladies, would like to get some advice.

The blue strips says positive (test line darker than control) but the pink strip says negative (test line lighter than control). Both OPK and both done at the exact same time. Which should I trust?? Wonder if i missed the chance this month

Hun looking at your chart I suspect that you may see the temp jump up tomorrow. Remember you can ovulate after a positive opk not just when you get one. I'd bd one more for luck Hun. Fx for you.

Happy thanksgiving or Happy Weekend to you all!

I'll do a real catch up soon. In the meantime just wanted to say and see how everyone is. Suddenly very quiet here! I know some ladies here are really struggling, so extra big (by which I mean over-fed from the holiday) to all of you!!!

Green, I don't use OPKs, so I can't offer much help. But when in doubt !!!

Lady H, good luck this week! (Is it Monday? I can't remember. )

More anon....

 

[Butterfly67]

Green I agree with Lady H, it looks like you are just about to ovulate so I would get a in today if you can. It's only really once your temp has risen that you might have missed it

 

[purplelou]

Hi lovely ladies!
Sending you all a ton of and :kisses:
Hope the us ladies have had a happy thanksgiving! I have been dreaming bout yummy turkey since seeing a tv advert for a supermarket..and now I want some!
Lots of liberal baby to everyone xxxxx

 

[drhouse]

dear team,
how are you all. we just had a great weekend at the beach. I was thinking of you all in the cold eating turkey and pecan pie! I hope the US ladies had a great break. First halloween, now thanksgiving, then christmas... more holidays that you can shake a stick at. I hope that you guys are all good.

Green, when in doubt - go to bed oh behave dr H. Trust me... it works when you least expect it.. One for luck can't hurt.

Neesaw hugs from here.

Lils how is the eye. Is it much better. I was thinking of you re. your discounts as we had two for the price of one icecreams today!

Dash - hugs from here.
Dwrgi - love the avatar. you are gorgeous honey!!! Interesting re. egg sharing!!!

butterfly, how goes the renos!!!

Maddy how are you in sunny canberra... how are you post IUI.
Kiwi, no news - are you ok?

Moon - how was your sticky mallow yams and your yummy dinner.... Good to hear that everything is going well with af coming back.

 

[drhouse]

Hi ya ladies,

where are you all? Are you all ok!!!

Just a quick post to say that I guess I can't deny that I am probably up the duff. I probably think that now I have had no periods for eight weeks, have tiredness, nausea, sore boobs that this is probably consistent with pregnancy but I have really been in denial. So now I am going to the doctor tomorrow to have my pregnancy confirmed. Its funny how stressful it is not being pregnant then replaced with stressful being pregnant - would it all be ok? Is the baby normal? when do I cancel the wedding? Anyway its not a bad problem to have but its funny how everyone else seems to have a blessed fabulous time as nothing ever goes wrong for some people but those of us who struggle to get here are more frightened when we do. Maybe its just me????

the 12 week wait for me was more agonising than tww for sure. Glad you are getting into it now

 

[purplelou]

DrH I was the same exactly! I think you get scared to feel happy in case you jinx something!

Lovely ladies...how is everyone today. is it still holiday time in the us? I'm not sure how thanksgiving works! I am still craving turkey, with all the trimmings...yummy!!
Huge loves to everyone xxxx

Good morning, all! It IS quiet here, isn't it? Glad to hear good things from Dr.H and LadyH! And to little Lana, of course.

Selfish post:
Just had the HSG this morning. It wasn't too bad, but it might have been helped by the 800 mg ibuprofen. The doctor said my left tube was clear like an open freeway, but she wasn't sure about the right, which was the same side as the ectopic. Exact words: "I think it's clear, but I can't be sure." This is partly because the dye was spilling out so fast from the left that it was clouding the view of the right. She said she'd be studying the photos on a larger screen and would give the full report to my doc later this week.

Does anyone know what happens if you've got a partially blocked tube? I'm so scared of another ectopic! I have to wait until Friday to talk to my doc about this, so I'd love to hear input.

Hope all are well!!!
