[Ejay]

Ejay nice to see you again.

Let's see Honey's looking into acu.

Jaime and Myturn are doing IUI this cycle.

I believe Honey, me and Tryfor are in the tww.

Anna - I can't remember at this minute where she is in her cycle.

Anybody correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks Dee for the update.

Honey - Acupuncture sounds good, there is a place just round the corner from me that specialises in acupuncture for fertility problems, OH doesn't realy think much of the alternative treatment type stuff though, he's a bit of a sceptic

Jaimie and Myturn - Good luck with the IUI hope it works for you

good luck for you all in the TWW

EJAY'S BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm chillin in the TWW, not much is new with me. Although.... I should say that my OH went to the doctor today! I didn't even have to nag him!!! WHOOHOO. Anyway, the exam and everything was fine and they gave him a cup for taking to the hospital. He has to call the hospital to find out all their rules on it though, since his GP doesn't seem to know much of anything about infertility. But hey, that's PROGRESS!!!!!!

Let's see, a few girls have gotten their BFPs - LuckyD, CelticNiamh, Tanikit..... Can't remember who else.

Hiya Squirrel missed you too

Good luck with OH at the hospital, My OH was rather worried about the prospect of doing the business into a cup in the hospital.

I went and gave him a hand though, we booked the andrology room which was actually quite ok no sleezy magazines or sticky sofas

Yup- I am about to send out a job application right now honeybee : )

Julia - that is awesome about the 90 day FF membership and CBFM. I bet you'll dig using those fun new toys. I'll bet you are definitely ov'ing - you might just have a longer build up than most girls. But that is probably why you get such great CM. You'll even out and get regular again Julia, I'm sure of it

The trigger shot hardly even pinched and definitely did not hurt. It was funny giving myself a shot at midnight when I was half asleep!

Awww I can totally picture you giving yourself the shot half asleep.

I have got terrible news for you jaimie: My CM is no longer EWCM and super stretchy like it used to be. Ever since the MC my body is completely different. Everything is different.I have to try and get to know my body all over again. My CM ismainly very dry and during my fertile period is a little water but not stretchy..... Sad I know!!!

Hiya all

popped in to say hi and to ask if it would be ok to rejoin you all.

Having a break helped clear my head a little, I had become a little obsessed with the temp charting and things.

OH and I also went back to the docs and had some tests done. My blood tests and swabs all came back fine, OH's sperm results were a bit strange, he had super high sperm count but bad morphology, in the 9o's % of sperm with no tails, although they did say the ones with tails were strong swimmers but I guess they just get caught up in the traffic jam of tailess sperm.

Got to wait till after xmas before going back to the docs again, I don't really know what will happen after that.

How is everyone? I tried to read over the last couple of pages but it seems like so much has happened, is there any chance everyone could do a quick update for goldfish brain me

Hmmm? I wonder what they'll do for his sperm? Maybe they'll be able to take his sample and keep all the tail thrashing dynamo's and insert!
Hey how are you!!!
We have missed you so.

Mushmouth has also gotten her bfp after MC. First cycle of trying.

Hiya Tryfor, hope all is going well for you. Not sure what they will do with OH, I would like to think that they might just line them all up on one side of the dish and the first ones to reach the finish line get to find the eggy, the rest of them will just be bouncing around on the start line

heelllllllllllooooooo!!

Ejay,I forgot to say WELCOME BACK!!!

Anyone got any gossip? I've just got home from work, got my pj's on already lol.

Hiya Honey, thanks for the welcome back x

 

[honeybee28]

hahaha I've got a mental image of your dh's sperm all waiting at the start line in a dish! lol.

yeah my dh was a bit sceptical about the acu too, esp when I started talking about positive energy etc, but oh well, I'm ignoring him and going anyways lol. Hopefully it'll stop me stressing so much if nothing else!

how was your day?xxx

 

[Ejay]

I am really tempted with the acupuncture, the only thing holding me back is the cost.

I am having to find somewhere else to keep my horses at the moment as I have to move them from where I currently keep them so I can't justify spending the money at the moment. Will be very interested in seeing how it works for you.

I had a day off work today, I have been working my backside off recently at the end of a project super stressed on top of all the TTC stuff.

OH and I are going away this weekend, so a break will be good.

How was your day?

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Howdy Ejay! Glad the break helped - I'm back too as you can see : ) I figured there would be no way to fight the obsession while doing IUI so I'm just jumping back in to go through it with all of you lovely ladies

TryFor - I highly recommend trying a grapefruit every morning and some evening primrose oil. It worked for me even with my super narrow cervix - I made so much that some managed to drip out and show itself Are you still doing the Red Raspberry Leaf tea too? I bet that stuff will help get you back to normal. Sorry it has been different for you I know you'll bounce back though - all this crap just takes so much longer than we expect

So Nixilix is also on the TTHFUTD thread, right? Does that make 5 "graduates"?

The IUI went well this morning. DH and I were a little early with "the sample" - I was worried there would be more traffic. But the lovely woman at my clinic that handles the samples said it was no problem. He gave a great sample, 45 million highly motile swimmers post wash. It was still on the low side in terms of volume (8 ml) but that doesn't matter for IUI because they only use a very little part of the sample anyways. I hope my lining has continued to thicken because that was a little low too (only 6 mm as of Tuesday). I did my best to visualize the spermies swimming up to meet a nice, ripe eggie when I laid on the table after the insemination. It was hard to stay focused though - an exam room isn't exactly the best place to meditate. Mostly I just found myself feeling a little sad because I kept thinking about how badly we want this, and how low the odds are even with all of this whoo haw. So now I just hope I don't drive myself too crazy during this 2ww.

 

[honeybee28]

That'll be fun, where are you going?

Yeah it is expensive huh. will keep you informed!! Soph seems happy with how hers is going.

my day at work was stressy. I'm lying in bed watching tv and eating after 8s at the moment though, so feeling better lol. got really bad pmt though, it's a good job hubs is out tonight or i'd probably have a go at him just for saying hello or something lol.

did you do anything nice with your day off?

[honeybee28]

Jaimie I pray for you every single cycle, but I'm going to pray super hard for you during your 2ww. I so badly want you to be pregnant, you are going to be a fabulous mom. xxx

ahhhh yeah, nix too!! She must be a long way along by now. And how about Parkgirl, she's preggo, she was a tthf'er for a short while. Still not many graduates though is it? How many of us are there?!xxx

 

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Thanks HoneyBee - you are so sweet! I really hope and pray for you and your DH too. You will be super fun parents, just don't play rugby with your lil one till they are big enough to defend themselves, ok? Hee.

I forgot that ParkGirl was on here. Someone's siggy has all the die hard TTHFers and the ones that have BFPs - we'll have to take a look and count 'em up.

 

[Ejay]

Hiya Jaimie - glad the IUI went well, will be thinking of you in your
2WW

Honey - did a bit of shopping today, had a coffee with my mum at Costa coffee and searched for new yards for my horses. Am currently munching some double choc icecream

Just realised that my cycles are so regular that although I have been gone for a few months my ticker is still 100% accurate, how freaky

Thought I would attach this pic OH took of a Kookaburra at the falconry centre down the road, we had a great day there a couple of months ago, this little chap was very cheeky

 

[honeybee28]

ahhh yeah, think soph has that. lol, DIE HARD! Maybe we need a logo thing to go in our siggys, didnt we start making one back in the day?!

lol, no I wont but I WILL dress it in a teeny rugby shirt and take it to watch dh play rugger every week. awwww. god I cant wait to do that.

[honeybee28]

[Jaimie2Eyes]

Yeah - watch your ice cream Ejay! HoneyBee will nab it if you aren't watching

Aw, I love the thought of you taking your lil one to your OH's rugby matches HoneyBee. I can see the mud splattering all over both of you! Just kidding - that is a really sweet wish. I hope all our wishes get fulfilled

Ejay - hope you find a good place for your horses. I love kookaburas! My hubby went hiking in Australia for a month and he said those birds have the wackiest calls.

 

[honeybee28]
