TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[IsaacRalph]

I am so sorry about the terrible time you have been having runnergrl. I know nothing I can say will make the pain and hurt go away for you. Hang in there and try to get through it day by day.

Isaac- woohoo for a clean colp. and I remember the vinegar and iodine leaking for days...not fun!

Mama- hopefully you will get a more normal cycle this time. Fx for you!

Hann- I hope the sickness has gone away for you so you can really start enjoying the pregnancy!

afm- started spotting today...just when I wipe but I have been somewhat crampy today, so AF will probably be here by tmrw. I am only 9dpo, so she decided to come early I guess and save me a wasted test!

Hey elt could it be implantation bleeding like han had? Your temps still look good!

 

[Hann12]

That's what I was thinking too elt! My IB bleed was more than I expected so just assumed AF was on the way - and it was 9dpo. Have my FX

Issacralph - are you testing today?

Mama - exciting about the opking! I hope you ov on time with clomid.

My mil is coming down for the funeral which is great so I can go. It's not going to be nice but I think I should be there.

Sickness seems to have reduced and tiredness is a bit better so I figure I have a few weeks to enjoy the pregnancy before my back starts to get bad! Looking forward to a nice relaxing day today with my DH and my DD

Glad your feeling better han, have a great day with dd & dh!

Boring news from me i'm afraid bfn on frer this morning didn't really expect it to be anything more, just wanted to know for sure so I can move on! I'm ok though thinking positively & I've decided to get my arse into gear & start exercising regularly again as i've been a bit slack in recent months & I know it helps with the pms! Feeling periody but boobs are easing up! May need treatment for this cervicitis so if I do that will be 6 weeks out ttc which may do me some good then we can resume ttc in the new year! I'm also going to have a relaxing day with ds & dh, need to arrange ds 2nd bday celebrations
Also going to have a few glasses of vino tonight to celebrate biopsy results! have a great day ladies

 

[Hann12]

Boo to the bfn
At least the symptoms are better this month though which is at least a positive. I think you should stick with the acupuncture as I'm sure you'll get results from it!

 

[elt1013]

Isaac- Boo to the bfn, but I think you go into it like I do...counting on a bfn, so we aren't too disappointed. I also need to do the same as I have some weight to lose and maybe that will make it a little easier for me to conceive and be healthier for myself and dd. Have a great relaxing day with ds and dh planning that bday and enjoy that vino...you deserve it!

Hann- I am glad you are starting to feel better and can maybe enjoy a little of being preggo. It will also be nice for you to be able to be there for the funeral allthough it will def be sad!

afm- AF is here...light flow started last night, so I guess I am CD2 now. I am pretty sure that it couldn't be IB at this point since flow has started. Weird that my LP was only 8 days and I hope that doesn't continue to happen as I thought I had corrected that. I guess only time will tell. Have a great day ladies!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Elt-Sorry you've got your AF hun, maybe your cycles are still a bit messy from that cyst! Here's hoping for our xmas bfp's, I can't beleive not one of us has got a bfp what's going on? We need some extra fertile vibes going on around here!

Did a pretty good workout today wasn't too bad considering, of course followed by a full on Sunday roast dinner, yummy! Don't need to shift any weight bit of toning needed here & there & general fitness & like I said the best thing for pms! I just find it hard to fit in these days. Gonna carry on with the acupuncture too as I like it & think its helped slightly. Was watching Isaacs birth & early days videos earlier & it has made my heart melt he was so little & sweet, still is but changed so much & I'd do anything for one of those newborn snuggles, broody.com! Anyway waiting for AF which should come in the week yee haa!

 

[Hann12]

Elt - your temperature hasn't dropped though? I'd still test, some people get bigger amounts of IB - especially second time round. Mine was quite big, I really thought it was the start of AF

 

[banana07]

Hey girls

again sorry i'm a bit slow at replying I'm just unreal busy we building a house which is nearly finished so its my time to shine with the interior!!

runnergirl - I am so sorry for what you are going through, I can't imagine how you feel. You know whats best for yourself x

elt - sorry the witch got you and esp so early

Any updates issac - when is the witch or bfp due??

Mamamac - hope your hanging on in there!!!

Jes i can't believe out of the 5/6 of us that were in the tww at the same time nothing
I have a doc apt this eve after work to see whats the next step to finding out why i'm not pregnant yet - I imagine its a scan to check my tubes and maybe get DH tested. I'm sure he'll tell me to do one then the other but I have zero patience at this stage so I'll be demanding both get done at the same time. As I said before we pay a fortune into our private medical every week!!!

to all

 

[MamaMac123]

Hey ladies, how is everyone doing?

Banana - exciting about your house! Hope you're having fun with that. Good luck with the doctor visit.

Afm - took my last clomid dose last night then had a bit of a temp dip this morning. Odd because I figured it would be on the higher side one more day due to the clomid. :shrugs: Going to start OPK this afternoon and following SMEP this cycle so we'll see how that goes. Just hope I ov and really hope it's in a normal time. Fx!

 

[Hann12]

Big dip mama!! Unless its a pre ovulation dip? I hope you ovulate in good time this month.

Banana - hope you get the tests this month.

Hope everyone else is okay!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Yeah i'm very surprised about the lack of bfp's on this thread with so much of us in the tww together, oh well! My AF due any day now perhaps tomoz but probably on Thursday sometime, going to try agnus castus this month as recommended by a herbalist, apparently good for pms & fertility!

Complety depressed as my brother & girlfriend have split up! I found out she is 17 weeks pregnant today with their 4th child. Thing is they only found out about 4 weeks ago because she'd be putting off taking a test because she knew how he felt about having another child, he was adamant about not having anymore & they had discussed if they were to somehow fall pregnant (she was on the pill) they would have to terminate the pregnancy! Anyway she's decided to keep the baby so he has up & left her! He is so upset but can't see how they would ever manage, with the practicalities, his life is over as he put it! I know she will not terminate now especially at 17 weeks that's just plain wrong but its so upsetting to hear talk of it, poor little babba. Hoping they can sort our their problems together but I do know she has been hankering for another baby for a few years now & I think she may have known what she was doing! Feeling for my 3 little nephews & fetus stuck in the middle of it! She's so unhealthy too she takes lots & I mean lots of prescribed codeine for a bowel complaint, that baby is going to have withdrawals! Oh god what a mess x

Banana- new house new baby!

 

[MamaMac123]

Opk was negative so not a pre ov dip which I am glad about. I want to ov on time but not early...want to give that little egg enough time to mature properly

 

[Hann12]

That's sad about your brother and girlfriend, hope they can sort it out. My SIL really wants another but they can't afford it, tbh I wouldn't put it past her to take matters into her own hands!!
Did AF arrive? Hope not!

Mama - hopefully not long now until you see that positive opk! I bet anything before day 20 would be nice for you!

I have a sinus infection and can't take anything grrr. Hard work being sick and looking after a 15 month old!! Just about to take her swimming, the activities don't stop!
My house currently looks like a bomb has hit it with toys and books everywhere but I'm too tired to put then away. MIL here tomorrow so I'm hoping to get a but of rest, although have the funeral on fri which will take up most of the day. Planning on a big 'do nothing' day on Sunday as we have all day plans on Sat too so another tiring one!

 

[Hann12]

Just got my downs results - 1 in 11000 (better than my age group which is 1 in 690) so pretty happy with that!

 

[runnergrl]

Hann! just stopping in to say hi girls

 

[elt1013]

Hello ladies...

banana- how did the appt go?

Isaac- Hopefully your brother and his gf can work it out. It is sad for everyone involved. And I agree that my cycles are probably still wacky from the cyst.

Hann- Woohoo on the downs results! That's awesome!

runnergrl- nice to hear from you...hope all is well with you!

afm- I am now on day 5 of AF...and 4 out of the 5 days have been heavy, which is odd for me. Monday was so heavy that I couldn't even go to work! Aweful AF this month!! Hope she leaves soon!

 

[banana07]

Hey

Jes that does sound pretty heavy and bad Elt - hopefully it is the end of the whacky cycles now and all will be cleared out!!

Issac - sorry about your family problems and I really hope it works out x

Hann -what is downs results??

Mamamac - hope you ov on time - what cd id you ov last month - wasn't it normal enough and what day are you now??

afm, had the doc appt yesterday evening it was fairly straight forward 2 min job told him I wasn't pregnant wanted to go for the dye scan test thingy and wanted to get dh tested - he said ok and that was the end of that!!! I should know when my apt is in next day or so but then the bad news there are no private clinics where we live so it will be about a 6 month wait to go public and usually you need a second apt which would be another 6 months so got on the internet this morning and found loads of private clinics elsewhere and its not expensive only €100 and the private medical we have will cover 80-100% of that its about 2 hours down the road so its not too bad and can have an apt in a matter of days Thats it really. Also just had a though that if I hadn't went private I would still have the mirena coil in!!! - remember I had awful problems getting it out had to go under general anesthetic in the end.

So thats is it for me its bding week for us so might just nip up to bed now and get ready!!! CD14 now and Ov on CD18/19 - may as well stock the little guys up!!!

Glad to hear everything went well for you...but hopefully this cycle will be it and you wont need it! Oh and downs results are to see the odds of the baby having down syndrome. Hann's came out great...very small odds!

 

[MamaMac123]

Hey girls!

Isaac - I missed that post about your brother and gf before sooooo sad. I hope they work it out and hope the baby is okay after all those meds...ugh

Hope the angus castus works for you! Same thing as Vitex which I was taking for a month or two before I decided to switch to soy. Didn't seem to do much for me but I've read it has helped a lot of ladies on here. GL!

Elt -ugh to the heavy AF...hope it clears up soon!

Banana - yay about the private clinic hopefully this will be your cycle anyway but nice to know it won't be a 6 month wait!

Hann - for the test results!

Runnergrl - :wave: hi there hope you're feeling better

Afm - OPK still negative today...last cycle I didn't ov till cd 31 I think...it was pretty late (but better than nothing!) but today my cm is starting to look ew-ish. It's not super stretchy yet but starting to turn clearer. Hoping that's a good sign!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Hey girls! AF is upon me & first ever 28 day cycle very pleased, think the acupuncture made a difference this month! Won't be starting Vitex after all after herbalist changed her mind on whether it will benefit me. Anyway hope to make it to tubal test on the 13th Dec, hoping AF will hang on back until after so I can have it!

Han- sorry your feeling unwell, sinusitis sucks! Congratulations on those downs results, excellent news!

Runnergrl- hi there hope your well

Mama- should be any day that you get that +opk, good luck this month hun

Banana- hope your app comes through soon but hoping you won't need it! Good luck with the bding this month x

Elt- hopefully AF will soon be finished can't beleive your still suffering with your cycles, have they ever been out of sync before?
