Waiting for AF after M/C, anyone else? OCBM

[Nina83]

Linny, I'm from Israel. I guess we're lucky we have very good health insurance. Since Jews are all about the "descendants will be as numerous as the stars" fertility treatment is big around here.
I started fertility tests after 8 months. Here, you're allowed fertility treatments until your 2nd live child. Free, courtesy of the country. I know it all comes from our taxes, but it's good to know that if I ever need it, it's there.
It's all about the family here. It's very discouraging and stressful at times.

 

[bluestars]

Im from the uk too linny. you in scotland england wales ireland?

Sounds good that its all for the reproducing nina hehe even if it comes from the taxes! Its worth it! Xxx

 

[Nina83]

It is worth it, but for people who have fertility problems it's hard to deal with all the "make baby now".

 

[bluestars]

Yeah it will be. You stay in canada now right ? Xxx

 

[Nina83]

No, I don't think we'll be going there for a while now.

 

[bluestars]

Aww I didn't know you where in Israel ! Where have I been hehe. Woops! I don't know where I got Canada from!

Xxx

 

[Nina83]

No, you got it from somewhere! LOL, I'm originally from Canada, we moved here when I was 11

 

[bluestars]

Aww. Well I don't feel so silly now hehe!

What time is it over there? Xxx

 

[Nina83]

Almost 11:30. There's still a lot more of the day left

 

[bluestars]

Aww noo hope works not too long for you today!

Doc phoned back yesterday and told me to come off all meds and I DONT have pcos.... Or so he thinks. So came off meds and back to the old fashioned BDing like bunnies haha! (Still no full notes that was based on previous hormone checks. He thinks the consultant got it wrong hence why he's sending me to a real specialist next time). It kind of makes me feel a lot better that he thinks the pcos (if there is any) shouldn't stand in my way... Says I should be fertile as the rest...

Have you tested yet? Any more symptom spotting today? Xxx

 

[Nina83]

That's so strange they would lose your medical documents :s
It's good to know he doesn't think you have pcos, and I'm so happy you'll be checking progesterone again this month. It was probably a one time thing!
You're off the coast of Ireland?


I did test yesterday- negative. But 8dpo is early!
I am a bit bloated, breasts hurt every now and then, and my stretch marks on my breasts were much more visible. even DH said it. Might just mean I'm getting fat. I put on a couple of pounds this year
cervix is VERY high and quite soft. CM creamyish.

 

[bluestars]

Doc said there not lost they just haven't all been sent from my old surgery. Yeah the little island I live sit above Ireland but it's a part of Scotland.

They are promising signs! And 8dpo is still really early! A couple of pounds isn't that bad. I'm sure if put a stone or two on lately haha! Xxx

Nina - I guess that's a bit of a mixed bag then, good that you get help and support , but contend with the pressure of family/fertility oriented society. There's a theory knocking about women prone to miscarriages are more fertile, as in, their eggs just go ahead and develop when other women would have had a period right away....if that's part of the issue then it would seem to be a matter of timing...though that's a cold comfort really when you lose the one you wanted. X

Bluestars - excellent! i'm in scotland (glasgow to be precise). Where are you? It's good that your doc thinks the pcos isn't an issue! And that you're seeing a hotshot about it!

Today did another OPK at same time as yesterday and is a LOT lighter than yesterdays, so I *think* if OV happened it happened a few days ago and i'm now on the slide into AF, boobs loads better today but nipples (sorry tmi!) are still sensitive. Glad most of the pain is over!

 

[Linnypops]

Nina me too - few lbs! 8dpo would be super early to get a pos, even so the signs sound good to me.

Blue ah! Are you on islay or something?

 

[bluestars]

I used to stay in Glasgow. I'm on one of the wee islands off of Scotland. Haha did you guys skip BDing ? Xxx

 

[Linnypops]

Blue - I love it here! Love the islands too....i'm originally from near liverpool though.
Nah, we totally bd'd heh...but at random times, no idea of i even O'd. I had twinges in ovaries, sore boobs, EWCM, crying fits, the works, all spread over 2 weeks though (longest ovulation ever?). So it's the luck of the draw, but I sort of want it to have a good clean out heh.

 

[bluestars]

I know what you mean!
Have you ever been to any of the islands?
Have you got any kids? Xx

 

[Linnypops]

Blue - Not really, i've been to the island with the town of millport...not sure if the island is actually millport. I used to live on a hill directly across from arran so i saw a lot of it, but never went (it's an odd one that) but i hope to get out to some of them soon!

No, I have no kids but i'm blessed in that I have a niece who i can honestly say i love as though she's my own - she lives with my mum atm as both of her parents (one of which was my brother) died when she was very small. Her story is heartbreaking but she is a wonderful kid. Love her to bits. I have a step son too....And you? X

 

[bluestars]

No I live on tiree.

Aww poor soul loosing her parents soo young!
No no other children either. Xxx
