TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[Hann12]

Yeah han you'll have the last laughs though hun! Like I said anyone who can charge a good friend £70 for a sponde has got to be weird! Just throw it in their after she's done all her talking/bragging, he he!

Lol that's my plan!

 

[ooSweetPea]

Have been silently stalking you all but hann I just had to comment on how much of a cow that woman sounds like! Very obviously was trying to get under your skin but mwahaha! The look on her face when she hears your news will be priceless eh?

Hope you all are doing fabulously

 

[runnergrl]

Hann-well wont it be nice to give her your news? IMO, you are much more mature than she is, so now you can basically say "I'm pregnant too, SO THERE!" I hate when girls are petty and do things out of spite or maliciously.. I dont get it!
When did you start your progesterone? before your BFP or right after? Im trying to decide what I want to do since my level was borderline with Ella.. I dont want to take it if I dont need to, but I hear it doesnt hurt to take if your levels are normal. Is this true? Also, if i start it as soon as i get a BFP, wont I HAVE to take it till 12 weeks at least? sorry so many questions, Im just super curious..

Isaac- it is sod's law that you would get your BFP right before you have these tests done.. I would totally be all in with hope and even expectations!

Lol runnergrl but yes I will be feeling like doing that to her! Funny though because if she had text me saying that she knows I'm trying but wanted to let me know personally etc then I would have known it was genuine and not trying to be malicious but I'm sure its not like that and she's just trying to upset me. Hasn't worked though!

As for the progesterone, basically my LP was really short - 9 days, and I was told it was because my body wasn't producing progesterone because it was still adjusting from stopping breast feeding and that I may have PCOS. Anyway the PCOS has been dispproved so it was the breast feeding, however they said that i would just start producing progesterone again in normal amounts and it would naturally correct itself. But the month of my BFP I used a natural progesterone cream and suddenly my levels more than tripled (they were 10 and they went up to 38). It could be a complete coincidence that it happened the month I used the cream. I asked the fertility consultant and GP and they both said it was a coincidence and that the cream couldn't have done it and that my body just adapted that month. However it seems quite to coincidence! Anyway I was still worried about progesterone levels so the fertility consultant just gave me cyclogest to take - 2x 200mg per day. I have no idea if I would have had a problem he seemed to think I wouldn't but gave it to me anyway because it does no harm having the extra amount. I think that progesterone levels get enormous as the pregnancy progresses so there is no harm taking extra at the start. I think somewhere around 8-10 weeks the placenta takes over from the ovary and produces the hormones so many people stop taking progesterone by 10 weeks but I have enough to take to 12 weeks. I'm looking forward to stopping it though, its not very nice and I am always scared I'll forget! Sorry for the essay - its very much something I'm interested by!!

Oh don't apologize! Thank you so much for the insight! I will take it as soon as I get a BFP then. No harm? Why not??? Thank you thank you thank you!!

How's everyone getting on?

Issacralph - your temps are still looking nice!

Mama - how are you? How's your temps been? Any positive opks? Have you been back to the dr about metaformin etc?

Elt - I know your temp dropped, have you managed to break the super long cycle?

Happycpl and banana - hope you are both enjoying a more relaxed ttc month and that it works! Have you o'd yet?

Runnergrl - I still have hopes for you for your July baby!

Hope everyone else reading is doing okay and babies are growing nicely!
I've calmed down after yesterday, still think she was trying to be mean but I'm over it! Got more going on anyway with feeling sick and having workmen in the house doing stuff, leaving all the doors open and making do much noise! My DD can't sleep!
Having to just play in the night garden over and over to entertain her! Can't wait to have my house back!!

Hope they arrive soon!

 

[MamaMac123]

Hi ladies,

I've been quiet the past few days but I've kept up with reading the posts. Been sick with strep throat and had Thanksgiving here in Canada so it was a busy past few days.

Hann - that so called friend sounds like a piece of work! What a

Kelly - welcome and good luck!

Issac - how are things going for you? Glad all the tests have been coming back good!

Mummyclo - good luck with ovulating! Hope those tests arrive in time!

Afm - nothing to report. Thought for a couple days there that I'd ovulated as all the signs had been there to lead up to it and the. Temp went up 2 mornings in a row but then I found out I had strep which probably contributed to the higher temps and after my first day on meds my temp dropped back down figures

So here I am still waiting waiting waiting :yawn: I'm so tired of waiting. I'm even tired of poas! I'm so sick of seeing negative OPKs I could just scream. I keep inking its coming and keep thinking all the symptoms are there but those lines never get any darker. Honestly I haven't even been in the mood to bd the last 4-5 days which is very odd for me. DH asked me around 6 am if I wanted to and I told him I was sleeping and too tired. He said he thinks that's the first time I've ever said no! Lol don't know what my deal is...maybe from being sick but I think partly I'm just fed up with wanting it so badly and not even getting to ovulate and try. Sort of in a ttc funk I think

I had really hoped the soy would get me ovulating but so far nothing. Could still happen I know. I talked to another girl who said soy didn't get her to ovulate until cd 20 something and shed just about given up. So we'll see I guess...I just feel deflated in the hope department.

If nothing else I have my doc appointment next month so that will be good.

 

[Hann12]

Mama when i took soy I didn't ov until CD 28 I think so its def still possible, I know it delayed mine but it could still happen for you. I think you need to get in to see that dr and get their view though, take your charts. They are very confusing from a temp perspective so hopefully they will listen and do more. I can't even imagine how frustrated you are but I have every faith that it will happen for you. I think you just might need a bit more help from the dr's. Its so lucky that we were born in this generation where we can get good help and the majority of us can conceive with it. If we were born 100 years ago it would have been awful. FX things change over the next few days and you do ovulate but otherwise give that Dr hell until he listens and does more!

 

[mummyclo]

Oh oh ohhh! They're here! Says to start testing on CD 11 on the instructions?
They were an eBay bargain anyway so hoping they work ok.... Will soon see!

 

[runnergrl]

I was planning on starting OPK's today-but I'm still bleeding, so what's the point-uuuugh! Ultrasound tomorrow to see if everything's been sorted out.

 

[MamaMac123]

Well, ff gave me crosshairs today and think I ovulated on cd14. not buying it...if anything I guess I may have ovulated on cd18 but I had negative OPKs on both of those days. Temps aren't super high and today I have Ewcm and cervix is high soft and open...but still negative OPK!!!

 

[Hann12]

I'd say that it sounds like FF is wrong and you are still to ovulate by the signs you currently have. Really hope the soy does it for you! What amounts did you take?

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey girls how are we all? Sorry i've not been on here lately been in the midlands visiting my new niece she's just adorable, nearly 9lb at a week old, wow!
Mama- not sure about your crosshairs either, think you should keep assuming you haven't ovulate yet & carry on opking, I see the crosshairs are dotted too which also makes me suspicious!

Runnergrl- hope that bleeding settles soon & you can get on with ttc, sooner the better!

Elt- how did you get on at the Dr's? Have you started AF yet, sorry if i'm not up to date!

Banana- how's you? Opting yet? It soon comes around! Have you had results of bloods yet?

Welcome to new joiners!

Afm- cd 11/12 not tested as really no need to as AF will come in 4 days or so! Had awful pms again this month, I just sobbed yesterday as it seems to get worse every month! I will defo be onto cycle 9, can't believe I've not got my bfp yet! Getting my tubes checked if not pregnant on the 15th Nov!

Han- how are you feeling? Showing yet?

 

[mummyclo]

- opk again.... Dunno why I'm so disheartened! I just want a smiley face dammit!

 

[Hann12]

Issacralph I'm so sorry you already feel out, I really hope you are wrong! I will keep my FX for you anyway!

Mummyclo - hopefully positive tomorrow!

I had my scan this morning, baby is measuring 9+4 which is a few days ahead of FF prediction, won't change my ticker until the 12 week scan though. Baby was wriggling around loads and looked properly baby like! Really amazing!

Wonderful news han, can't believe how fast its going, you must be over the moon! It should all be plain sailing now your this far along! Can't wait to see more scan pics. Thanks for giving me encouragement but I really am just trying to get my head onto cycle 9 now, its so hard when I have a few days left of this one to drag out! So pleased I've not tested, will power is getting better! I'm more upset about what I have to go through every month for 2 and a half weeks than not getting bfp! I don't mind it all if i'm actually pregnant but if not its just not nice!

Mummyclo- lovely to have you back! Fx'd on getting your +opk soon Xx
