TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[IsaacRalph]

Woo hoo I got my referral letter through today just got to make app on Mon for the first slot available, hopefully will be seen soon!
Han- sounds like ovulation is a little unpredictable for you at the moment, it will come though hun i'm sure! Hope your having a fab weekend.

Thanks Ooo sweetpea & marieb nice to hear from you, we miss you! Please pray that we get our bfps soon so we can come & join you before you end up having them! Hope the your both feeling well??

Right this is a Tmi question sorry girls, does anybody get a slimy period that comes out mainly when sitting on the loo?? My periods are always like this, hardly use any pads cuz it shoots out when i'm having the loo? When I was younger (teenager & early 20's) it used to more liquid like!!

Mine use to be like that freaked me out! I don't know y it's like that tho, no one seems to have answers.

Wishin all u ladies lots of luck and baby dust in ur new cycles!

I think mine is liquid but I'm not totally sure because as soon as it arrives I use tampons which absorbs so not totally sure!

CD 18 for me and no positive opk still, still just getting a very faint line and not much cm. guessing I'm in for another long one! Last month it was CD 26 so maybe another week to go. At least we haven't had to BD at the inlaws though!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hopefully it will happen soon han! had any spotting this cycle? Started taking evening primrose again this cycle, i'm hoping it will help with the pms! Also gonna start regular exercise again as I've been a bit slack since the wedding in march. I hope this helps!

Hopefully it will come soon, and with a longer LP. Have you noticed taking the B vits if your AF is lighter or shorter? Mine has definately been lighter this time and seems like it may be ending sooner aswell. Another bonus I guess!

Isaac...I also use tampons which makes it harder to tell the consistancy of it, so I can't be of any help there. What is the evening primrose supposed to do? I have seen people talking about it on here but I am not really sure what it does.

 

[Hann12]

Annoyingly I forgot to bring my b vits with me this weekend so I have had 3 days of none. Stupid as I know you have to take them every day
No spotting this month though.
Does anyone get preovulation spots/bad skin? Mine is bad at the moment!

IsaacRalph - are you doing the test today?

 

[Hann12]

Random question but has anyone had mixed cm? I just had a glob of creamy and then the next lot was creamy coloured but stretchy. Assume it's trying to change to fertile cm. bit weird though! Not sure how to choose which type it is for FF!

 

[Hann12]

Sorry me again! Just spoke to the fertility nurse, I have to wait and see the consultant two weeks today before they will do anymore tests. She said he will want more tests done at cd1-3 and maybe the glucose tolerance test. She said that I might end up having to wait for another cycle to do it because I might miss the next one. That will be annoying! I'm now praying I don't ov for another week as then I can get the tests done just after i see him rather than wait another 5 weeks. Fx AF stays away until 3rd Sept.
She also said that there is normally a bigger ratio bet FSH and LH rather than 1:1 so that could point to PCOS, which is weird as I read that it was good to have a 1:1 ratio and that higher LH points to PCOS. Only thing she said I can do now is eat low GI. So frustrating not knowing and playing the waiting game!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Well i'm a bit upset this morning! Not wanting to get top worked up though. Had my results FSH is 6 (which is good), Lh is 5.2 so same as you han with the ratio being 1:1 but & a big BUT my oestradiol is a huge 112 over 100 being abnormal! Between 80-100 is borderline from what I've read on websites, sure mine was 90 something few years ago. So this may indicate I have reduced fertitly as high oestradiol can suppress the true level of fsh! Good news is I've got my app on 3rd of Sep, is that the sane as you han?? Most likely need repeat tests next month too!

 

[HappyCpl]

Hann and IsaacRalph- sounds like y'all have had a difficult weekend. I pray y'all get some answers soon.

 

[MamaMac123]

Bummed out doing my bloods today as I left my forms at home & to honest i'm working with some cyst bodied today & don't want them knowing my business as I'd have to ask a colleague to take my blood! Wish I could do myself but haven't got it in me too, Yuk! Anyway my friend taking bloods tomorrow & i'll get the results on Mon when i'm next in work, so not too long to wait!

Han- well if you don't ovulate at weekend it will be later & you"ll be able BD!

Mamamac, we can be cycle buddies too, yeah!

Elt- AF arrived yet? Hope not!

No AF yet...and actually my temp is still down today, so FF took my dark red crosshairs away and game me dotted crosshairs instead! Not sure why but I know I Ov'd on CD15...do you ladies agree according to my chart?

I'm afraid I'm no help I've never gotten crosshairs and don't know much about them. What do dotted crosshairs mean? Are they questioning if you really ov whe they think you did or something?

I think dotted crosshairs means that they were questioning whether I ov or not. It said possible ov on cd15, but just arrived, so they gave me my solid crosshairs back, and CD1 for me also. Of course I would have loved a BFP but I will take the blessing of a 11 day LP for now

How long have you been charting MamaMac? So, do you NEVER ov or does FF just not pinpoint it? I hope the obgyn will be alot of help for you! Keeping my FX for you.

for the 11 day LP! Thats exciting! This is only my second cycle charting so I have no idea if I ever ovulated prior to going on birth control. I wasn't sexually active before I married my hubby so I really didn't worry about it. My AF would show up sporadically every month and a half to 2 months. Sometimes I'd go through spouts of more regularity (usually during times I'd dropped a few pounds) so I'm hoping I was ovulating during those times. I'm anxious to see if I ovulate this cycle on the metformin and Vitex. Fx!!!

 

[MamaMac123]

That's great that you are all cycle buddies!
Mama - good to have the apppointment lined up but hopefully you won't need it!

IssacRalph - good luck with the bloods being taken!

Still no positive on the cbfm, still watery and EWCM and cp is really high so guessing it can't be much longer but no clue really as I thought I was going to ov early last month and ended up on cd26. My cycles remain a mystery for now!

Fx it happens soon for you Han!!!! Sweetpea and Marieb it's good to hear from you both! How's early pregnancy treating you both?? So exciting seeing your little tickers onion your sigs on how your little beans are growing!

Hmm that is really odd....I'm all liquidy lol I do get the sort of clotting bits (aren't periods just so gross lol! The things we have to put up with to potentially make babies!) but I def need the pads. Have you ever asked your obg about it?

 

[MamaMac123]

Hann and IsaacRalph- sounds like y'all have had a difficult weekend. I pray y'all get some answers soon.

I second Happy's well wishes and to you both. How are you doing Happycpl?

 

[MamaMac123]

Morning ladies! How's everyone doing? I started doubling my metformin dosage today. So far so good with the side effects not bugging me. FX that continues! Still dealing with AF. She's being very odd this time around. I keep going from medium flow to barely spotting and I think it's over then poof...more medium flow! Not sure what's up with that but I expected this AF would last awhile after so long without one. Hoping it's over soon so I can start poas! :hehe: Really hoping and praying I ovulate!

Had a small stress on Sat night. Hubby was on the phone with his dad and told him we're trying to get pregnant. He mentioned we've been dealing with medical stuff on my end and that we've been working with a doc (all totally fine) but then he said something like "We're gonna keep trying but it may never happen" I don't think he really meant anything by it, but it was just the way he said it really hurt me. Is that really how he feels? I know it's going to take time and be a tougher road than we thought it would, but to have him actually say the words "it may never happen" really got me down. Of course, I know it's possible it will never happen but I don't let myself dwell on that. We've only just started trying and we're barely starting medical help. With the right meds and some weight loss it's totally likely it will happen for us. It happens for people with pcos all the time. It just really bothered me how matter of factly he stated it, like it's a good probability it won't happen. When he talks to me he always assures me it will happen and not to worry, then he turns around and says that to his dad. Just makes me feel like he just humors me and really doesn't think we have a shot ugh

Pregnancy is going really well! I've been able to hear baby's heartbeat on my doppler for about 2 weeks now and I should be scheduling our first ultrasound soon. Will feel much less nervous and anxious once I see that little baby on the screen.

You're all in my thoughts and prayers quite often and I'm hoping I see BFPs from everyone of you soon.

And I'm so excited you got something to hopefully help with your long cycles. FX this is all you need to catch the egg!

Don't get yourself too down about what he said. Just remember that men alot of times don't think before they speak. He probably just didn't know what to say to his dad about it, since it is so hard to tell people that you are having trouble conceiving. Guys definately don't take things to heart like we do, and don't realize that what they say may hurt us. Keep your head up...it will happen when it is meant to (even tho it may take a little longer than we want it to). Don't give up!!

Glad to hear everything's going well so far for you! So exciting!

 

[Hann12]

So glad the pregnancies are going well - so exciting!

IssacRalph - I don't think your results are bad, I was told that the result for Oestradiol needed to be under 250 pmol/L - is that the unit yours is in? If it is its fine! The results I had said that during AF ideally you want a number of 28.0-156.0 pmol/l. I *think* your okay therefore unless you have a different unit?
And yes my appoitnment is 3rd sept so we will be seen on the same day!! Exciting! I hope we both get some answers. I have worked out that as long as I don't ov before weds then I should be able to get bloods from the next cycle. Ideally not before Friday though. Guess its now a waiting game to see what my cycles do.

Mamamac - I think your hubby probably did it because he doesn't want to get anyones hopes up so that when it does happen its amazing and everyone knows how special your little one is. I'm very confident it will happen to you. Are you going on a low GI diet? You can join me!! We can be potential PCOS (if I have it) and GI diet buddies!!
Now I'm back from the inlaws I'm back to my healthy eating again.
