TTC#2 and SO EXCITED! join me

[IsaacRalph]

I always like to think there's a plan B! So that's why I'm thinking about the options now, so I can kind've get my head around things before its far too late down the line! Mama I'm hoping that you won't need to use any of the options you mentioned but its good for you to know what would be exceptable for you as a couple! Adoption sounds good but like you said to carry a baby is just an amazing experience which I think every women who wants to it shouldn't be denied! But your still early days into your treatment & I think you may be younger than me, so you can spare a bit more time on the natural/med route. I'm going to enquire with clinic tomoz just to make sure I fill criteria & if it takes another 6 months to get app ect then I know I've left it a reasonable amount of time to get a bfp! I wish I was a few years younger, I know I'm not old & I certainly do not look 34 but my ovaries are! Boo Xx

Thanks runnergrl

Thanks runner and Isaac

Opk negative again. My one hope is that I did in fact ov 2 days ago when the test was not quite positive. I may have missed the strong surge or maybe just wasn't as strong an ov this time. Last month it took 3 days for my temp to really rise so I'm hoping maybe my temp will shoot up tomorrow. Will see I guess.

Hi girls

Banana rubbish start to the day for you even though you kind of expected it

Mama - maybe you did ov a couple of days ago - you should know soon as the other times you have ov'd your temperature has shown it quite nicely. Otherwise when's your next appointment? Do you think it would help changing the days you take the clomid? I know it's meant to do different things depending on when you take it.

Elt/happycpl - guessing you are just waiting to ov - let's hope you both have a better time this cycle!

Isaac - so lovely to hear from you, we missed you though totally get why you haven't been on. I know you are almost at that year mark so I see why you would get the info now on ivf but its crazy that this has got this far when all your results have been great! It doesn't make sense but then you don't need me to tell you that. I think unexplained fertility problems are so frustrating though as everything points to you being able to conceive easily. I really hope it's one of those situations where you look into ivf and then get your bfp. Also, don't we get ivf on nhs? Or is there certain criteria that needs to be fulfilled that you don't? Thinking of you anyway

Runnergrl - glad you look to be doing well! What gender did you guess by the way?

No news for me, 30 weeks this week. Need to start thinking about my hospital bag in the next few weeks and getting some if Annabelles baby clothes down from the lift to wash. Apart from that I'm just doing the usual mummy stuff with Annabelle. It's very different being pregnant this time, I don't have time to worry or time to spend relaxing or anything really as Annabelle is so full on! I spend my life exhausted which I should just get used to probably!!

Hey Thanks Hann, I'm ok used to it at this stage!!

So weird i was just talking to my SIL/BF last night about IVF and 1 hour later logged on to tell ye about the witch and everyone was talking about it - very strange!

Oh Hann how exciting for you getting to pack your hospital bag. I would say you are exausted though are you. All my friends said the second time was so different!!

Was just thinking that if we at the 9 month mark now if I had got preg first cycle I would be ready to pop now - imagine

 

[MamaMac123]

Thanks Hann so far doesn't look like I ovulated but this morning I've felt rather horny which is a very tell tale sign for me of ov so maybe my opk will be pos today So exciting you're at 30 weeks!!! Seems nuts!

Banana - sorry about the witch Hun but glad you're doing okay about it. I've totally been thinking that too about the 9 month mark as we'd be at 9 months this month too had we gotten pregnant right away. :sigh:

 

[runnergrl]

I was due on March 22 with the baby I started this thread with..

 

[MamaMac123]

Runner -

Opk was negative. This afternoon I've actually been feeling pre AFish. Boobs seriously sore and feeling really irritable. Both of which usually happen in week 2 of TWW. Wonder if somehow AF is coming without my ovulating or if these are pre ov symptoms?? I think I've had some nipple tenderness around ov before but not as bad as TWW. Ugh just wish my body would be predictable! I hate this limbo stuff.

 

[elt1013]

Oh my gosh Isaac...so nice to hear from you! We were all asking about you in here. Glad you are doing well!

I have been busy, so I haven't had any time to properly reply to everyone, but I have been following.

afm- just waiting to o...CD8.

 

[MamaMac123]

Temp Rise!!! just hoping its not a fluke! Assuming its the real deal I must have missed the surge on opk. Feeling optimistic this morning....

 

[Hann12]

That's a big jump up mama! Really hope it's just that you missed it - you said you felt horny so hopefully that was it! I wish there was a better way of knowing for sure, ttc is so much guess work!!

 

[MamaMac123]

It really is! But regardless of when it was I think we're covered on bd so hopefully now it's just a TWW ahead!

 

[runnergrl]

Good luck Mama! I think I want this for you almost as much as you do!

 

[IsaacRalph]

Sorry about AF banana be rest assured I'll be joining you in few weeks! Weird about the ivf stuff, spooky! I still haven't really had time to think about it this week, bit scared by it all really!

Han, really good to speak to you again, it's getting so close for you now, eek. If you already have a child your not eligable for ivf on the nhs and we defo can't afford private costs. So we have to wait and see how I feel about the eggsharing!

Mama, nice temp rise hope it stays up, goodluck

Elt I've missed you guys so much but I find it easier to come on every now and again! I will always keep in touch!

Big hugs runnergrl you must be feeling very emotional as ella's due date approaches, thinking of you.

Catch all you ladies very soon xxxx

Hey Girls

Have one of those down days dunno why its just random I think, I actually felt better the day I got AF then today but anyway i am sure it will pass.

I am very confused. Got my bloods back last night.

My CD21 (which was really CD24) was 24.7.

Now as AF came 3 day early this was originally expected to be 7 days before AF but it ended up CD24 of a 27 day cycle (shortest ever).

In October my CD21 was 27.9 and my CD25 (7dpo) was 38.1. s

So from what I can see a huge drop.

I am so pissed off today nurse said she can't read the results without the CD3 tests but the specailist said she didn't see the point in the CD3 results. So I have to wait a month to see the specailist.


Just having a crappy crappy day and feeling like this is getting worse and will never ever happen

 

[Hann12]

Okay just to check your cd 21 should be 7 days past ovulation - which I'm guessing is why you did it cd 24? It should be 7dpo rather than 7 days before AF is due. So if its 24.7 then I think if its the normal units they use in the uk nmol I think rather than ng then it could be deemed a bit low - they normally say that 30 and above is required for you to maintain a pregnancy. That's IF it's that unit, in the US they use ng and the equivalent amount is 10ng/ml. So if its in that unit you are fine. Each month the values can differ though so one low month doesn't mean every month is low. I had mine taken across 2 months and the first reading was 10nmol which was very low, the second month I used the progesterone cream and it went up to 37 nmol. If yours is a bit low then I'd recommend the progesterone cream, I told someone else about it and they had been trying for 6 months and also got their bfp the first month of using it (as I did).
I know it can seem daunting but if yours is a bit low its no where near as low as mine was and if I can get a bfp then you def can.

Hi ladies, I hope I can join you all.

I currently have one little guy, Gavin...he just turned 7 months old today.

We have decided to start trying for DD #2, it took us a year in a half to conceive #1...he was well worth the wait though.

We started trying on February 14th. I was in the middle of my cycle, and ovulated on CD24 (February 17th). Fertility friend got it and I got a + OPK as well, so we will just wait and see what happens.

I took a HPT this morning @ 11 DPO, and it was AF is "supposedly" due on March 3rd. I have irregular periods, so it's hard to tell. I am just going by "af being due" suggests when Fertility Friend says my period is due.

 

[MamaMac123]

Welcome Kitteykat! Good luck testing in next few days!

Banana - I'm so sorry you're having a bad day Hun. You know we're all here for you!

Afm - temp went down a bit today but still high enough to be post ov so I've still got my fingers crossed. Will see what happens tomorrow. Feeling nervous about it.

 

[banana07]

Thanks girls

Hann, I am 99% sure we use the same as the UK I can't imagine its the US one, I haven't acutally seen the figures she just gave them to me over the phone. I tried to explain to the GP that it was a 7dpo test not a 7 days before period is due. I was in the docs on 7dpo but she made me come back 3 days later, I told her AF was due anytime between a Tuesday and Thursday. WHY DON'T DOCTORS LISTEN!!! I've never dealt with her before my normal GP was out. It was a wasted test really since AF came 3 days later. I'm going to get it again this month on my CD21. I think this cycle was only 27 days my shortest ever. i was 6 months on a 31 day cycle 1 month on a 28 day cycle and now this one a 27 day cycle.

I used to log everything from pains to bloody farts every day in the month but stopped a few months ago. So going to go back now over the last 9 months mostly over posts here and memory and try and do up a chart of Ov days and cycle lenghts.

...... Poo it all anyway !!!

Oh and welcome Kittykat

Mamamac - fx crossed for you as always!! x
