That happens to me too hon - sometimes I wonder if that is normal but from everything I've read it is nothing to be concerned about.

 

[Ejay]

Thanks Jamie, just gotta pluck up the courage to go.

have said to OH if he registers for the docs then we will go and see the doc together. That way at least I will have someone to hold my hand

Warning way TMI in this post,
I have to say Im a little concerned, as its quite painful its even painful you know when you sit on the loo to wee the pain goes right across my tummy and same for bowls. I do have mild IBS so wonder if its setting it off. first time in a few months I have OV from left side though. Im still doubtfull though as I remember the month I concieved DD thinking I didnt notice the pain at all !!! may be Im over thinking or worring LOL must stop!!!


EDIT

Oh my god Im scarlet, just broke wind and pain has eased PML hahah just the norm OV pain I guess after all yay

Glad you are feeling better Celtic!

Hope going to the docs isn't as bad as you fear Tanikit, and I really hope you get some good advice and feel like you are being heard and helped!

Thanks how afre you feeling no funny jokes for us tonight!

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Tee hee - I don't have any good jokes personally but I am trying to decide on my most embarrassing story to share to tthf and take our minds off the 2ww. That video link I posted a couple of pages back is definitely good for a laugh, as well as the blog I found it on.

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

oh my good golly niamh - you are the joker today starting the prostate milking discussion on this thread and the april showers thread!!! hilarious!

 

[LuckyD]

Good Morning! How are all the TTHF-ers today?

I am on CD15 and really hoping that I will see a positive OPK today...but I don't think I will, think I will O CD18 like last month...grrr. I guess that gives me a bit more time to think of my embarrassing story - great idea Jaimie!

Celtic - that video is so disturbing! but funny at the same time. Why does Seann William Scott always play the same kind of characters? Glad your tummy is feeling better

Anna - so sorry that AF arrived I guess at least something has happened? Hope next cycle is a lot smoother for you

Hi Julia sounds like a nice day you have planned - enjoy the sunshine!

Oh Tanikit, fingers crossed that this is NOT AF arriving

Ejay - you and your OH going to the Dr together sounds like a great plan - then you can support each other. Yay for the ewcm!

I know what you are saying Tanikit, I have been thinking about what if someone gets a BFP as well - I will be SO happy for them but will definitely miss them! Whoever does needs to start a pregnancy journal so we can still see how they are doing! What I REALLY want is for everyone to get their BFPs and move on together. That could happen, right?

Squirrel - I bought some Nature's path or something like that. I wish they'd be working a lot better. Today, I woke up thinking about it, but it maybe that we haven't really bd'ed since last ov time. DH says he doesn't really feel it either. Maybe we should up the dose or something.

Are they built for speed or comfort? What'd you do with them? Motor boat? You play the motor boat? You motor boatin' son of a bitch!

brrrrr (motorboat) I messed that up, I though it was "you sand bagging son of a bitch" I'm telling you girls, if you haven't seen Wedding Crashers, watch it! Here's that clip for the ones who haven't watched it...

LOVE IT!

Ahhhhh!!!! LOVE Wedding Crashers!

Mimi, did you get capsules or powedered Maca? I got the powered kind from Navitas. I've been putting it in my tea and smoothies...definitely feel like it gives me more energy, but jury is still out on I would say I'm slightly more interested than usual Hoping if I pick up the dose or after a week or two goes by or something, it'll get even better.

Hey Julia - so I had a little issue with the SA last month - my DH wanted to do it right after my ov window. His doc neglected to tell him anything about abstaining, but I knew he was supposed to because I over surf the internets. We talked about it (i.e. got into a little tiff about it) and he called the lab to see what they said about abstaining before hand. They told him it wasn't really necessary. So his doc and the lab are clearly CRAP because I think you really should abstain for 3 days before hand - that is what a good male fertility site I was on the other day said (https://www.malefertility.md/infertility-faqs.html)

BUT - I really didn't want to give up trying last month so he only abstained for about 36 hours. I regret that now because his sample was relatively small and the motility number was only 40%, so we both worry that we got a bad result from all the BDing we did in the days leading up to his sample. So I would really follow that 3 day guideline hon - you don't want to have any reason to doubt the results. And if I were your DH I would politely remind the lab to process the sample ASAP after he drops it off. In fact I would ask when they expect to process it. That stuff can't just sit around forever, ya know? Hee.

This totally happened to me, too...we BD'd the day before DH's test (even though, I knew better) and the volume was very low...so my OB sent him to a urologist (which turned out to be unnecessary), who repeated the test, and it was fine the second time. Moral of the story...abstain before the test.

 

[MyTurnYet]

Your welcome! And yes he did tellme to take a few before coming in for it. I got a patient folder to carry with me with my what to do's and what not to do's. My spelling and spacing may be off a little because 'dumbass' that I am, I spilt iced tea on my computer last night! What a frickin night mare!!! I amso lucky dh didn't kill me!!! I am just praying now that I didn't sccrew up my computer!!! Buttons are sticky still even after I took themoff and cleaned them!
I was referred to him by my OBGYN in February after my Pap test she pulled mein her office for a discussion and said there was nothing they can do for me and then referred me to this specialist.

WOw, he really does sound like a great doctor! I wish I could go to him! If nothing happens this cycle, I think I'll call my OB and get a referral to someone in my area. You're totally giving me hope and courage.

Sorry to hear about your keyboard! Sounds like something I'd do, too.

My DH's volume was super low too! But everything else was normal except for motility. Is it wrong for me to secretly be happy that his SA was slightly off because it is making him drink less?

 

[CelticNiamh]

Jaimie thought we needed another giggle LOL na I would be happy to if it reduced my DH to drink less. but I say the next SA will be great

LuckyD I hope you do see one, have to wait a while to find out now

I think my chart is going to drive me mad this month LOL my temp does not look like I have ovulated, yet I'm positive I have I have had all the signs any way. I'm wondering if the heating being turned off in our room and it was cold last night effect it, or the fact I was awake in bed a while before I remembered to take it whoops! my temp was way to low this morning! it felt wrong. FF said it may be my thermometer plus if any thing the two glasses of wine should have had the opposite effect may be! I was up very late last night as well what do you think girls, may be im wrong !

 

[honeybee28]

hey ladies!!
no jaimie i would be the exact same as you!! My dh drinks way too much. he said to me the other day he wants to get a SA anaysis done, a bit of me hopes that they tell him to drink less lol!! Does that make me a horrid wife? other than drinking less, what else has he been told to do to improve his spermies?

Squirrel/niamh/jill/mimi - how much maca are you taking? i got mine in the post today, not too sure what to start on!

What's the most fun thing everyone is doing this weekend? i have quite a lot of fun planned. today we're going to watch the rugby, we've got corporate hospitality so we get free food and drink and get to meet the players (I LOVE rugby men lol!!) Tomorrow my dh is playing rugby so im gonna go shopping with my best friend. then tomorrow night dh is taking me out to dinner to celebrate one year since he proposed to me YEEEEEY for fun!!!

hope you're all well ladies.xxx

 

[CelticNiamh]

Hi Honeybee I havent started takeing it yet, still waiting for it to come but as far as i know just follow the instructions on the bottle is it two in the morning and two in the afternoon, advoid taking it late in the evening incase it keeps you up! on less of course you have lplans to stay up and need to energy! ( I have taken MACA before though )

 

[honeybee28]

ok cool, thanks niamh. how are you? What CD are you on? Who's next to test on here?

 

[Annamumof2]

well she is defently here now heavy and in pain today

 

[Tanikit]

Hope everyone is having a good weekend and having some fun.

Anna hope you feel better soon - take some pain killers, have a warm bath and relax.

Honeybee sounds like a good weekend - we took DD out to a fete this morning and she had fun riding the horses and jumping in the jumping castle. They also had a puppet show which she enjoyed - it was about child protection (a big thing in this country at the moment with the Soccer World Cup about to start) It was quite scary hearing them tell toddlers things we only learnt at 8-9 years of age, but she did it in a very easy to understand way - not sure how much my DD got out of it (she loved the puppets) but we won't let her out of our sight ever at this age.

Well 12dpo today and I have some slight brown spotting after the red spotting last night. I had bad cramps last night but very little today. Celtic you may be right and it may be low progesterone with AF on the way. I'd still like to hope that its implantation but I have my doubts now (its been 3 days of spotting now) If AF is coming I hope she hurries up.

Celtic I can't see temps on your chart after CD5 - am wondering if this is my computer giving issues as it took til yestetday to get my own chart sorted out. If it just one temp then I'd ignore it - could be any number of reasons.

 

[honeybee28]

aww tanikit i hope that it's not af. i suffer with spotting between periods all the time - i havent looked into it though. could it be a problem?
the fete sounds so fun, i love jumping castles im so jealous of the kids i want to go on one!!!
