bbdreams, how long have you been ttc?....We also look in adoption or foster care that turns into adoption for the sake of underloved and underpriveledged children. I hope all of us girls catch the egg because seriously it is too stressful to take anymore. I started 'active ttc last summer after using the pull out method for 4 years. After getting pregnant in the 9th cycle and then losing it, it is devastating and disturbing. How come other people get pregnant and keep it while there are us women right here who are beautiful and wonderful and all we want is family. I am very fortunate to at least have a child. For you women who dont have one yet I pray for you the most. You will all get your wish and recieve a special, perfect little angel.

Sorry to sound all sappy and weird but I had a few glasses of wine and some long island ice teas and I am feeling very emotional. This week i wouldve been 20 weeks. I just want to cry but I know that I should count my blessings.

bbdreams, vent all you want about anything. someone is always here to listen. I couldnt be around so many pregnant women or newborns for the life of me. Do you think if they knew you were trying they would be more compassionate??...

Julia, we have been trying to conceive 20 months... one year ntnp and 8 months trying really hard. I agree it is soooo stressful! Most of those women know I am trying... today we had a diaper shower for one of them and two of the other pg women sat beside me and just went on and on about being pregnant and how they were going to start trying for another one soon after they deliver...

ahhhhhh. I normally try to count my blessings too...... but it's just so unf*cking fair isnt it. im lucky, all the preggo women from my work are on maternity leave now so i dont have to listen to them all day. but it was a struggle for 6 months, it was really hard.

bbdreams are you in the UK?

We would consider adopting, but i think IVF would be more likely, i think if you wait long enough you get a round of it free on the NHS here.

urgh back to work today - yuck!!!

No, I am in the US.

well i guess i'm not pregnant

Started bleeding heavy today, and now im getting funny cramps, ive either had a MC or it was a false posative, oh well

i'm bleeding heavy still but no cramps

So sorry Anna.

Well, today was awful having to attend a diaper shower with lots of pregnant women. I came home and called the dr's office and wrote dh's SA analysis results down this time and here they are if anyone knows anything about these:

count: 94 million (normal)
Volume: 3.0 (normal)
viscosity: 3.0 (normal)
morphology: 9% (not normal)
motility: 34% (not normal)

and as to whether they are normal or not I am just going by what the urologist said... I think that the morphology is pretty terrible.... I so heartbroken looking at it on the screen....

I dont know much about SA results and such as I got my bfp the month we were supposed to have DH perform his SA and start IUI/Clomid/HSG. Was there any suggestions to 'beef' up his sperm? Is there any recommendations?

About the pregnant woman saying they are going to try again right after the birth of their present pregnancy: I say the same thing. It takes so long to get pregnant, so next time I will do it right and start trying again right away. Who knows, maybe some of those pregnant women had some difficulty getting pregnant themselves.

It will be your turn very soon!

Anna so sorry, it does sound like a chemical but I know you rather it had not happened like this but shows your body is nearly back on track most people get a BFP fairly soon after a chemical so good luck! just on a off chance may be get your pogeresterone levels checked they might be low, if thats the case a cream could sort that out for you. do another test in a few day just to be sure and take care.

OOH girls huge huge hugs to you all, I feel your pain

Julia I have to 100% agree with you, I to pray for the girls TCC number 1 as well as the rest of the lovely ladies TCC. so need you all with me.
Julia always loved and never forgotten, your angel will be right there beside you watching and waiting to make sure your hearts desire comes true.

I know Niamh, thank you. Its just hard right now. Witg this being the week I would find out my baby's gender, its very tough.
But I am trying to think positive. I 'think' I am pregnant RIGHT now! I am feeling confident!

sorry anna are you ok? is andy ok?

yeah julia i agree, i'd sell everything i own to do IVF if needs be - its just such a shame it isnt guaranteed isnt it! People shell out thousands and thousands on it, and still walk away empty handed.

everyone having a good day? so glad work's over for the day. bit of study then bath and an early night for me im so sleepy. do any of you guys watch Bulging Brides? Its a bit silly, the show always follows the same format but i love watching these girls diet/work their butts off to get into their wedding dress!!

Over here in the states, the fertility clinic I attended averaged anywhere between $10,000 - $32,000 (I guess depending on how the situation is I guess )

I want to work my butt off just to get into my regular clothes! I am the goodyear blimp!

I think a chemical is where the egg tries to implant but doesnt all the way, or the egg is empty or something along those lines. Again

thanks anyway hun, just wish i can stop bleeding so heavy now

I hope the witch is nice to you so you can put forth all your best efforts again this cycle. Hopefully we never have to witness a false positve ever again!

 

[honeybee28]

lol the goodyear blimp!!! im sure you're not. I'm losing weight at the moment, i find it good not to eat too much in the evenings, really helps me.

awww bbdreams - like julia says, is there anything he can do/take to help. im not even sure what morphology means to be honest?

thanks niamh.xxxxxx

love you girls. we will get there.xxxx

 

[tryforbaby2]

I just feel like the good year blimp! I am so sad that my body changed so much over the past few years. I was a teeny tiny size 3 a few years ago after tons of stressful life events, then back to my normal size 6, which I always was. Now I am a size 12, which is double the size I normally was. And I have to buy pants in the womens sections, which I am not used to. Plus they dont have the styles I like. I want a really nice med. denim ripped pair of jeans, and the only places I see them are for skinny people! I want to fit back into some clothes. I have been told that I am aging now, and I will no longer have a 16 year old body! lmao.....I need a weight loss plan?....I thought about diet pills but I am afraid with it messing up my blod pressure!

Hmmm....I wonder when I should cut out the eating in the evening?....What time do you usually cut it out?

How is everyone today?

awww thanks Anna, i really hope she isnt on her way but im not feeling too positive about this month. hope the witch isnt being too unkind to you.
1-3.15pm isnt that long really, and it gives you a bit of peace to get stuff done huh. maybe you could use that time to go to the gym? or have lunch with friends?

I normally eat dinner by 6-630pm unless dh is really late coming home. I need to figure something out to lose some inches. Its not my weight that bothers me, I could care less, its the size. When the numbers keep going up, I have to buy new clothes all the time. Then I look at my face on how its changing, my lumps and bumps, etc. I need a confiedence booster! LOL If af comes for me next week I am going back to the gym and I am going to tan a bit to clear my skin better again. I think I may start the low-sodium diet again too.
I get bloated all the time, no matter what. But I was especially bloated the first 2 months I was last pregnant.
Nothing funny yet, I dont think, but when I think of something I will let you know!

Do you know how many calories you eat a day? I thought i wasnt doing too badly until i did a food diary and realised i was eating waaaay too much. Also, bread/pasta/pizza just make me gain weight.
Exercise is defo great for changing body shape though. I do fitness dvds at home as I can't get to the gym without a car, and dont want to pay the £60 a month subscription, find they're really good but i have to make myself do them. I try to do one as soon as i get home from work everyday. (i say all this as im sitting here eating sweets/candy!!)
hubs is home so im a bit happier now, he always cheers me up

Just wanted to say a quick hello.

Anna and Soph, so sorry to hear that stupid witch got you, too.

Tryfor, how is everything going?

Honey, how is the non-drinking? I'm going to have a fully non-alcoholic cycle this month and it will be somewhat hard as I'm going to a wedding and on vacation! Wish me luck with it.
