Dawn I'm so very very sorry, sending you loads love xxxxxxx
Fi that's wonderful news I'm over the moon for you amazing to see a hb!! xxxx
Afm what an awful day, would you believe we left the house this morning at 9.30 and have only just got back that's 8 hours we got a taxi to the hospital for our 10 am app and we're seen at 10.20. Brooklyn was in the right position for all of 5 mins, just long enough for her to get his face, check he was a boy (we have a scan pic) and he flipped right over again on his stomach so she couldn't get his heart, we went out for what she said was 20 mins and actually got called back 1 hour and 20 mins later, again, he was on his stomach, went out again, back in again 15 mins later, again, on his stomach. This time she said come back couple hours, it's two bus rides to home so we got one into town, dh had come home to leave a key for dd 12 as we thought we'd be home by one, I tohen went back on the bus to hospital with Casey, only to find, once again, Brooklyn on his stomach. We now have to go back in 2 weeks. His face was perfect she said, she saw some of his heart and wasn't concerned but needs more detail. He now weighs 1lb 2 ounces. To top it all off dh was on the bus to meet us from the hospital and we got on the wrong bus taking us 20 mins into nowhere just to return to the hospital. Then it's two more buses home. Get home to find dd taken all the hot water so can't even have a shower yet, to say it's been a bad day is an understatement! Only good thing is she gave us ten scan pics free, will upload in a bit. xxxx

[josie1234]

Kat,

Sorry AF got you, good luck for next cycle xx

AFM - feel like AF is coming, hope not. Feel crampy. Keeping FX.

Regina - how's your cycle going??

 

[Left wonderin]

Jo it seems like its going on forever , this is my second time at 7dpo !!! Lol.....
No symptoms - a bit gassy the last few day but think that was because of beer lol.... Had a really high temp spike yesterday but again think its as I had a beer or two, came right back down today !! Had a few mild cramps two days ago but nothing since !

Still excited at the possibility of getting a BFP this cycle .... Not giving AF a single thought until I have to !! COME ON THE BFPS )

 

[josie1234]

Yeh time is dragging. But because I ran out of opk's, I haven't been as stressed thinking about when to POAS.

I am hoping the next time I POAS it will bring up but in the meantime it's driving me

Wish I could sleep the next few days away lol

 

[Left wonderin]

Lol...... That would be a lot of sleep !!!! One way or another Jo we will one day be announcing our BFP on here I 100% believe that . Us and everyone else still waiting (your my cycle buddie so get a special mention ) lol...... When are you thinking of testing ? I'm waiting this month till the day after AF is due . She is not coming this month so we have nothing to,worry about . She has gone on her holidays for 10 months to a witches convention in Greece

 

[josie1234]

Lol anything to make time go quick! I was gonna wait til weds 10 dpo which would be cd 30. Only had 28 day cycle last month and 21 month before!! Hope she has a nice time at convention and extends her stay lol.

Jo as you OV 6 days later this month tour cycle theoretically will be 6 days longer if LP is the same as last month

I hope the witch enjoys the convention in Greece and leaves you and Regina alone for a food while.

Afm we came back from our weekend in butlins. Weather was lovely which is a bonus , kids really enjoyed themselves and did so much in the 3 days we were there.

Sugar levels have been a bit dodgy as we ate out all the time, so need to get that sorted again

 

[Left wonderin]

Oh she is having a ball getting drunk :with her friend mr devil they have a full itinerary sailing ,a day at the beach , with ice-cream of course .then there is . Ya never know the witch may end up having a bit of holiday romance and a bit of herself

Ok I'm gone anything to make time pass

I had my Day 3 ultrasound today. They said my ovaries look "quiet," so I don't have any cysts or anything to stop me from trying again this cycle. It's officially been a year...

These meds are breaking our bank account and I think this might be our last shot using them. They've upped my dosage from 3 vials/night to 4 vials/night. We start tonight. The doc is hoping to get me two mature follicles instead of one this time. The doc assures me that our chances are up to 5% greater with injectables than without. He also said I should try IVF, but that is definitely out of the budget.

Then he recommended acupuncture to increase blood flow to the uterus, but when I called I found out it's not covered by insurance and that's another $88/visit I don't want to spend. Plus they make you go in first for a consult, so I wouldn't start treatment in time for this cycle anyway.

I keep telling myself that I did get pregnant my first try with injectables, so I just have to have faith. Can someone loan me some? *sigh*

Kat sorry you are having a rough time .

I started acupuncture in October last year , it was £40 per half hour. I went every week up until about 15 weeks, I now go once a month .

He concentrated on improving blood flow and gave tips on good food to eat to increase blood quality

Kale
Broccoli
Spinach
At least 2 eggs every day
Good cut of steak not too over cooked.
Full fat butter not low fat spread, preferably from grass fed cows
Full fat cheese

You could start with this and see how you get on
