TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[IsaacRalph]

Oh thankyou han I think I may have for carried away with myself & just read something on the web being below 80! I failed to even see the units it was measured in but I have been thinking the same all avo! I will check tomoz but I suspect your right, hurrah!
I was getting myself so worried about it all, mine was 80 last time, fsh 6.7 & lh 7.2!
can't wait to be seen now, hope something happens soon for us all

So your fsh and LH have got better? That's really good! I can't wait for my appointment too, just want someone with a bit of knowledge to help!!

So it appears, but my periods are a lot more regular than what they were back then, also I think the levels do differ slightly month to month! I am feeling very encouraged now I think my bloods are ok, but won't relax until I see those units, ha ha! So I've just had to shed a tear, heard some great news not long ago, our dear friends who have had few rounds of ivf( for poor ovarian function) & failed twice have just found out they're pregnant & even better naturally, i'm so happy as this will hopefully be their first baby together!

Sorry girls if I've been preoccupied today!
Mamamac, ah bless men, they always say the wrong thing don't they? The thing is although ttc is obviously a joint affair they never really do get the in's & out of women & their hormones. I bet you would never see a man spend hrs on forums etc & trying to find out info about it all like we do! we know more & knowledge is power, so we are totally clued up about the possibilities or not. There is so much treatment (if you need it) available to you before you say you may never have a child! I don't have any doubt that you won't be able to conceive!

I feel permanently preoccupied with it all lol!! I am seriously mystified by everything, am i even ovulating being my major preoccupation at the moment!! Maybe the soy did help last month as I def ovulated. CD 20 and no positiove opk and temp still low. I know it could still happen though as it did on CD 26 last month. Goes to show that the soy probably didn't delay it though. Also thought we would be back BD last night after 3 nights away and my DH was too hot! I was so upset as I feel like I'm the only one trying and he doesn't get how upset its making me. I had a chat with him and I think he gets it a bit more now but we still didn't BD because by that point I was not in the mood!! He is meant to be out tonight so guess its on to tomorrow.

Hann-I was stalking your chart today and you had quite the temp drop...too bad you are not going to get to bd today just incase that is a ov dip. Are you still using the IC opks? Mine were really irritating last cycle because I never got a positive. I will probably just use the rest of them up and get a different kind when they are gone. Anyone have any ideas on a better brand of ICs?

I wondered what you meant as didn't think I had a temperature drop and realised I have put the wrong figure in - put 35.43 into FF instead of 36.43 - so no drop lol! Ah well

As for opks, I still use the IC's from amazon, they did give me a proper positive for 2 days last month however nothing so far this month apart from faint lines which are in no way positive. I have no idea on other brands unfortunately but one of the others will probably know.

Hi girls! Thanks Hann and Isaac on the "dumb male" advice :hehe: They are so completely clueless. And Hann, sounds like you're. Bit frustrated with yours too. That would have bugged me big time! Especially when you're right around ov time. Errrrr they can really be dense. :sigh:

Hann tell me about the GI diet. What is that? Hubby and I are doing the dukan diet which is basically all protein and veggies and no carbs. It's hard but hopefully it helps. Hubby has lost quite a bit already. I'm losing but much slower. Typical lol

Elt, no idea in IC tests. So far I've just used dollar store ov tests. I'm interested I getting some though if anyone does know a good type of IC!!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Oh Yippee, oestradiol measured in pmol/L so mine is right on target & along with the others are good for ny age! Speak laters at work x

Mama - the GI diet is about eating things that are low in carbohydrates - so not no carbs.

"A diet based on foods with low glycemic response has been associated with diabetes management, improved blood lipids (cholesterol), reduced risk of heart disease, and weight management[2][unreliable source?]. Not only will foods with a low glycemic index take longer to digest (therefore prolonging satiety) they will also maintain blood glucose levels at a relatively constant state. Foods with a high glycemic index not only digest quickly, they can cause extreme fluctuations in blood glucose."

Its eating brown rice and pasta rather than white, eating grains, pulses etc. There is a table online that shows what GI level a food is, normally classified into low, medium and high GI. I just only eat low GI foods now. I don't actually need to lose weight so I'm hoping it doesn't make me do that as I think I could easily fall into an underweight category as my BMI at best is 19 but I'm hoping it helps to maintain blood sugar which in turn helps with maintaining hormone levels. I know over here its the diet most recommended by fertility experts and especially for PCOS suffers.
I'm thinking of starting back on Vitex too because i think it was helping but i stopped last month when I tried the soy as heard you shouldn't do both.

IssacRalph - yay that you are fine, big relief for you!

Had a text from my DH to say that he is out tonight and tomorrow!! He reckons he'll be fine to BD both nights anyway but we'll see. I've almost given up on this cycle anyway as I don't know when I'll ov if I even will and I still probably have the low progesterone so can't support a pregnancy anyway! I'll still try to BD though as I shouldn't completely give up!

 

[MamaMac123]

Oh wow! So I don't know if any of you guys already know this, but if you remember sla545 who got her a little while ago in here....just saw on her signature that she's having twins!!!! So exciting for her!!! not sure if you're still reading in here sla but if so big congrats!!!!!!

 

[Hann12]

Oh wow thats amazing!! Thanks for sharing Mama!

 

[elt1013]

Wow...what an amazing gift for her! I would probably pee my pants, lol, but twins do run in my family so it is a good possibility.

 

[HappyCpl]

Twins??? Wow!!! That's wild!! What would you're first reaction be if you were told you were having twins?


Today I'm having lots of cramping. Just went to the bathroom and have stretchy CM with a smear of blood. It's not bright red, kinda dark but not really dark like old blood. According to FF I'm now 9-11 DPO. Unless FF is wrong (which is possible) I should have a few more days before AF as I always have a 14 day LP.

FX'd AF doesn't show.

I'd be thrilled! Haha Hubby and I have talked about how great that would be. Exhausting for sure but awesome!

Hope your bit of bleeding is IB!!! FX!

 

[HappyCpl]

Having twins would be exhausting. We would be happy, but nervous too. But we would for sure be done having babies. Lol.

I keep telling DH we will have one and go for our last one and end up with twins.

 

[HappyCpl]

Looks like FF was off. AF just showed up. :sighs:

Oh no! Do you temp? How was FF so wrong? Hope you are okay - literally same thing happened to me last month, very upsetting

 

[Hann12]

Omg - got a peak on my cbfm this morning!!! Went straight from low to peak! Thankfully DH came home early last night so we could BD and has cancelled this thing tonight so we shall be BD for the next 3 nights. So this time it's CD 21 for first positive. Think my surge started when I got up for a toilet break at 3.30am as I felt some ov pains. If I end up ov tomorrow then In theory I'll be CD 2 when I have my consultant appointment and they should be able to take the bloods. Really hope so and that it's not a shorter cycle because I missed 3 days of B6.....
