Did not test and good thing I didn't because stupid AF just got here, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr to the :witch:!!!
 
Myturn, sorry about your visitor, she's a bitch. I am expecting her to come any moment too :(

AF due today, hasn't come yet but have been crampy for a couple of days and just tested negative AGAIN! Stupid non-functioning reproductive system :(
I think I am going to try soy this BEST CYCLE EVER!
Even though I O regularly I want to make super eggs!
At this point, shit I'll try anything!

Kai has a soccer game this morning and we are having McDonalds for breakfast!!! Love sausage and egg mcmuffins nom nom nom
Might go fishing this afternoon too.

It is a long weekend for me, yay!!! I get a public holiday on Monday because my school is close to Brisbane and it is the Brisbane Ekka holiday on Monday (capital city show day) but my husbands school is on the Gold Coast and he misses out!!! hahahahahah
Methinks a visit to the hairdresser is in order on my holiday :)

What are all of your lovely weekend plans?
 
Thanks so much for the support everyone. :hugs: I love you girls!!

Had a pretty rough day...aside from AF and terrible cramps and a couple crying spells, I got a call that my sis was very sick and in the hospital. It turned out to be her gallbladder, which she's known she's needed to have out for a while. It kind of runs in my family...my mom, aunt, and I all had ours removed already. Anyway, she is home now with a liquid diet for a couple days, some painkillers, and a referral to the gastro. I am very thankful that she is ok. Was SO scared!

Soph, that does sound like a lovely weekend! I also heart sausage egg mcmuffins, nom, nom, nom.

I'm also jumping on the Soy bandwagon, too! Picked some up in my moment of despair this afternoon, along with a couple other things I read about...adding bee pollen and l'arginine to the mix because read that it's helped people w/ egg quality who've gone through IVF.
 
Hi ladies!

:hugs: :hugs: GRRRRRRRRRR to the witch.

Yes, everyone please check out the Soy thread. But Honeybee, I do think you probably have the wrong stuff. Mine only has 40 mg of Soy Isoflavones and also EPO. It was made my Puritan's Pride, but I'm in the US. I ordered it online though.

I was Oing before soy too, so far as my CBFM and OPKs said atleast, but I do think Soy was super good for me.

Sorry I've been a bit absent. I've been making a cake for my nephew's birthday party tomorrow. I'll post a pic once I'm back.
 
Ok I have just come back from the health shop where I was talking with the on-staff naturaopath. I went in for SoyIso but she quickly talked me out of that. It was easy to talk me out of the soy because I don't really think soy is good for you. This is only my opinion and I don't wish to tread on anyones toes here!! I realise that millions of people world wide eat and drink soy and sing its praises and that is fine - more power to you, but I kinda think it is bad, even though I was willing to try it. Clutching at straws. In the end I thought that I shouldn't mess with my ovulation which occurs fine on it's own.

Anywho, I digress...

I got a wild yam/vitex blend which I am to take throughout the cycle. These are supposed to promote a balanced cycle and hormones.

The other thing I got is called tribulus forte which is supposed to stimulate the LH to promote a strong and healthy ovulation. iT is also good for mens sperm issues, not that I would be able to get dh to take anything!

She said I should keep taking the maca and that these should help me produce some fertile cm! One can only hope! I am so desperate I will believe anything anyone tells me!!!! Anyway she also suggested that I actually go and see a naturaopath (she just works at the health shop) who has access to all of the herbs individually and could make up a specialised tonic specifically for my fertility needs. I said I would do this if what I got does not work. She suggested I give it 2 cycles and then see a naturopath. She also suggested acupuncture around ovulation time and gave me the name of one who specialises in acupuncture for fertility.

Witch still has not actually arrived yet but I know she will today. I am so not pregnant :( But this is going to be a SUPER CYCLE!!!
 
Well ladys i forgot to temp this morning seeing as i didnt go to bed till like 4am this morning oopsy i hope that its alright to just miss one day though, my nipples feel abit tender thats all really
 
Thanks squirrel, i need to check it out a bit further. think i'll order some online for next month.

Awwww Jill and Soph, i hate the witch. It's the worst knowing she's coming and just waiting for her.

it's really hit me hard this month. i so hope it'll be lucky cycle 9, but im worried that my stress and negativity will prevent it from ever happening. Sigh. My doc told me just to chill out but I just can't. need to pull myself out of this funk.

i really mclove sausage and egg mcmuffins too.

not up to too much this weekend. got family coming over this evening, we're going out for dinner as it's my sister's boyfriends birthday, should be fun.

Hope you ladies have a good weekend. xxxx

Hi! :wave:
sorry you are having a crap time hun. Im totally with you, AF arrived today for me on like CD25 (wtf?) so on to cycle 11 now. I know you've been trying for longer than me but it does suck and Im almost at the point of telling everyone 'yes we are trying, have been for nearly a year so clearly not going to plan' JUST TO SHUT THEM UP!!


Thanks MyTurn. Think I have seen you in another thread (SMEP?)
Click to expand...

I started telling people, too, to kind of shut them up, but now regret it a bit. Was just thinking of how much I can't take the pity!!!! It drives me insane...like I think my friends feel bad about talking about their babies in front of me. And then I get lots of awkward silences. I think I almost actually preferred the annoying "you better start trying soon" remarks. :wacko:

Yeah, we were in SMEP together!!! I kind of gave up on SMEP, though. :dohh:
Click to expand...

uh uh-DON"T DO IT!! I thought for sure it would shut people up and make them feel all akward and bad about being personal but nooooooooooo it makes them worse! Now I have to answer all sorts of stupid insulting questions, like "maybe I can get some help learning when I ovulate" or "do you know you have to do it at a certain time of month"....or "my friend had problems too but she went on a holiday and got pregnant with triplets" or of course my all time favorite "aw hunny-don't worry, it will happen......you just need to relax!"

Yeah I'll relax...............IN MY PANTS!!!!:growlmad:

Waiting4baby and Myturn: I told only a few very close people, one of them made it sound like the end of the world that I've got cysts on my ovaries it went like this:

Ohhhhh, you've got cysts.... long pause....I'm sure it will work out and you'll have a family someday.

I really wish I hadn't told her!
Click to expand...

Oh Dee-that sucks. These are all the reasons I wish we'd never told anyone. It was just so hard having people think we were these old selfish not wanting kids type (what everyone seems to naturally assume) when it was so badly our hearts desire to have a baby!!!
 
Okay got all caught up. WOW the stupid witch is running rampant around here huh? I'm sorry to all those she got. All my dear friends: ( Soph hope she stays away from you-fx'd!
Pretty sure she's right around corner for me too. Not keeping track of my cycle this month but just aware that it should be end of this wknd/early next week I think. Oh well at least I'll get my HSG this week! Most certain we did not BD right time of month as we weren't ttc this month, and when I felt like I probably O'vd (really sore bbs) we hadn't bd in about a week or so.
Welcome also new girls I'd not gotten a chance to say hi to-hope all is well.
Lots of love.
 
hey titi, have missed ya. very cute profile pic as always. how are you? Super busy at work?
i keep wanting to tell people , i know it'll make things worse so i keep my mouth shut but when people say things like oooooh time's marching on you know, it's time you had children, it takes a lot of strength just to tell them to mind their own business.

What's an HSG? I'm sure ive asked before but ive forgotten. is it the same as a lap and dye?
 
awww thanks Honey! Do you really tell people to mind their own business? If so I'm really proud of you!! DH told me that from now on I should just say, "That is a really sensitive subject for me/us"....and I think I really like that one! I admit-it CAN be satisfying sometimes to put them in their place when they say such things as "time is marching on"-you could give it a try on sometime........it just gets harder when the majority go on to say more stupid things!!!!!!

If a lap and dye involves a laparscopy (sp?) then it isn't the same-I think that involves keyhole surgery through your belly button (but someone feel free to correct me I am probably wrong!).......The HSG is where they are going to insert dye into my cervix hole (arghhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and a radiologist will be there in real time to see if there are any blockages in my tubes or anything abonormal with my uterus, etc. If there is, and it doesn't require surgery they will try and flush out then & there. I have heard that a lap & dye is slightly more conclusive but for the price and invasiveness its good to start with an hsg. I also heard that your fertility improves by at least 21% for the next 3 months to a year because it clears out your tubes anyhow and makes the little cilia slippery-hope that it is a charm for us!

yeah-super busy at work-but have the wknd off! Thanks about the pic-that's Marlow my FUR baby! Love her so much. She is having surgery Mon & I am scared for her-please send up prayers! xoxoxo
 
Hi Guys,

I've been trying to keep my mind off of everything, it's really difficult though, I've started spotting today (12 dpo) and although I thought I was prepared for the disappointment it still gets to me every time.

Titi - nice to see you online again, I'm glad you can stay busy. :hugs: to Marlow, she's so cute. What surgery is she having?

I agree talking about TTC only makes it worse, I wish I'd never told anybody (even though I've only told a few) and I bite my tongue if/whenever it comes up now. It's really tiresome though when people ask you about it. I just tell them that it will happen when the time is right (and in my mind I roll my eyes and think whenever the heck that is)
 
yeah titi i do, i can be quite rude at times lol so i normally tell them to shut up and remind then that they are a hell of a lot older than me but it doesnt make them wiser!! The only people that would ever say it to me are people that i feel comfortable with so i can be rude to them. im not sure what i would do if someone i didnt know too well said something, i'd probably be vague and say somthing like Dee, that i would love kids when the time is right. (i wish it was right right now lol)

ahhhh ok cool, i didnt realise there were different ways of getting dye into tubes (bleurgh). Hubby's got his SA in a month's time, if that comes back all ok i think we'll be going down a similar route.

dee im really sorry about the spotting. stupid witch.

ive got the most amazing chocolate cupcake to eat today!! Might go swimming first to earn it lol.

oh and you guys will be proud of me, went out last night and had one glass of wine and one vodka, just had soft drinks the rest of the time. for comparison purposes, i went out 3 weeks ago and drank over a bottle of wine and about 5 voddies, so im reaaaaaallly cutting down. i think these things normally take 3 months to take effect though dont they?

xxx
 
Thanks honey....yeah I would think three months too. Kudos to you for cutting down!!

Chocolate cupcake yum...I'm drooling here since I've cut out all the goodies!!
