Waiting for our BFPs! Please hurry :-D

So I went to the doctors. When I arrived they told me mine was ill and u was seeing the useless man I saw when I miscarried! he did have a clue!!!! He said I probably had a virus and come back in a week if af still hasn't arrived and are my own doctor!! WTF?! Had anyone else heard if af not arriving it arriving late when having being ill though my own sign is being dizzy. He made me test for a urine infection even though I said I was fine. He then asked when I had an STI check I informed him it was last month for my fertility referal and after those suggestions he was stumped

 

[HappilyTTC]

Ugh!!! What misfortune to get him again! And what a terrible doctor!!!!

I have heard of AF coming late due to being ill or taking meds, but I don't think that a doctor should just write it off as that.

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Sorry your doctor was rubbish. I hope af comes soon so u can start a fresh.

My temp dropped again this morning at 6dpo. This chart is crazy! It makes me worry about my hormones as they must be whats causes these ups and downs?

[HappilyTTC]

Double post. Oops.

 

[HappilyTTC]

They could be Mrs. B. My endocrinologist told me they could be erratic due to slight hypothyroidism. (Also, I have sleep apnea and that affects them.)

 

[ladyluck84]

Well ladies af had arrived 9 days late and I'm not good sorry tmi but lots if clots and I'm in a lot if pain. : ( not sure what all this is about but I will be glad when it's over!

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Sorry u are in pain ll84. I hope its over soon xxx

I've had a terrible weekend so far. I got invited round a friends house for pizza and I had a migraine all day but still made an effort and went regardless. There was only 4 of us and the other 2 have children. Well our friend happily announced she is pregnant! At the beginning of the evening so I had to sit all night fighting back tears and pretending to be happy when I was dying inside. They all know what I have been through and the other two thought she was very insensitive too but didn't tell her. I can't believe she invited me to hurt me. I feel so hurt xxx

 

[hilslo]

Oh no MrsB! I dread evenings like that. I've found myself avoiding people that I think might be pregnant. If they've got kids I'm okay. You would hope that those people who know what we've been through would be more understanding but sometimes it seems not. Well done for being strong though. One day it will be us announcing that good news and hopefully we will do it with a bit more sensitivity. Big hugs to you. x

 

[hilslo]

Just poas (opk) and got a positive!!!! So excited. We're not trying this cycle due to all the scraping etc (and dh is in Poland for work so can't now anyway lol!) but hopefully this means my body is getting back to normal! Fingers crossed I get a temp of 36.5 or more soon ( that's my ovulation temp. Not sure why but this seems to be my minimum temp post o and I never get it pre o unless I've been drinking?
My temps have been a bit all over the place but will try to stick to strict timings from now on!

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Thanks Hilslo.
Thing is when I announced my pregnancy I was very sensitive to people. I didnt do a big congratulations to me party! Some people are so selfish xxx

Hi everyone, I'm back
We had a great weekend. I've caught up on everything.
Hilslo- Great news! This cycle was way to long
We're cycle buddies- I got my +OPk this morning as well!

Mrs.B- I'm so sorry I also try and avoid people who might announce their pregnancy. I kind of live in fear because I know that 2 of my close coworkers are also trying.

Lady, Sorry AF got you. That sounds like crap. Sorry. Hopefully it's just a one time glitch and next cycle everything will be textbook perfect

AFM- We had an awesome weekend, I really didn't want it to end I was afraid the whole time that the salt and minerals might "damage" something. I was super dry down there, and so happy I got the preseed last month. It came in handy
I got a squinter OPK yesterday morning, and I just got so depressed, thinking it's just not going to happen this month. The yeast infection and all just got to me. Plus, no cramps at all. In the evening I got an almost +OPK, so I knew this morning I'd get a smiley. I did We had morning sex (don't prove me wrong!) and didn't go down to the dead sea again, so I was relived I wouldn't have to worry about the salt again.
But, I did get a slight rise in temps. I'm trying not to over think anything, and also tell myself that just when everything looks bezerk- that's the cycle it'll work.
I got another +OPk this evening, and tomorrow we'll DTD again. Since I usually ovulate within 24 hours of a +OPK, if I do ovulate overnight, tomorrow morning sperm might catch it- right?
I'm so tired of thinking about everything. Bleh. I don't want to go back to work tomorrow!

 

[hilslo]

Hugs. I only wish that the ladies with the kindest hearts got the rewards they deserve. How are you doing apart from your insensitive friend? I met up with a friend who had a girl earlier this year. She had 3 miscarriages before getting her thb and said all the heartbreak was worth it. We just have to try our best to hang onto that thought.
Even though I have my doubts I just have to hold onto the fact that one day it will be us. It just has to be.

 

[hilslo]

Nina woo hoo for cycle buddies! I hope this is your last one for 9 months!
Glad you had a great weekend. You definitely deserve a break and some well timed, happy bding!

 

[Nina83]

Thanks Hilslo
I also forgot to mention my acupuncture appointment I had Wednesday.
It was great. It's mainly reflexology though. About 20 minutes needles, 40-50 minutes reflexology! By the time she was done she said "if this didn't get your uterus ready- I don't know what will!"
I started to think that maybe the lack of cramps was due to the acupuncture/reflexology? This is a new women, and I've never had it done so close to O before. I really wanted/needed another meeting with her this week but she couldn't, so next Monday. I kind of feel like I need it to be more intense in the beginning. More often right now.

 

[ladyluck84]

How was the acupuncture I have read about how good it is for fertility and I was considering it but not sure I could relax

 

[Nina83]

It's good. I hate needles, and I'm always afraid I'll move my hand over one and break it and it will be stuck in me! But that CAN'T happen.
It's great for relaxation. I like the girl who does it to me, the previous one, I feel was more experienced, and talkative which was great because the silence can really be a bummer. But I feel like we're opening up a bit more, which is great. Talking is also helping, even if it's about the weather.
Even if acupuncture doesn't really work, it helps me with the stress, which is one of my main concerns.

Slept horribly last night. Heartburn kept me up, plus super bloated, could not sleep on my tummy at all. -OPK this morning, nausea, plus no temp rise. I have no idea what's going on, but I hope it's all good and I did ovulate.
DTD this morning as well, hips up. FX and the praying begins.

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Nina im glad u had a lovely weekend and got your positive opk! Good luck with that morning sex!! Im glad u are enjoying the acupuncture. I'd like to try it one day but does look scary.

Hilslo congrats on your positive opk

Xxx

 

[cathgibbs]

Morning everyone!

Nina glad you had a fab weekend and woohoo for pos opk!!

Hilslo This cycle will be nice and relaxed for you as your not ttc this month - a nice chilled out month :-D

Happily how you doing hun?

Awww LL sorry for painful AF hun atleast your out of limbo now and onwards for next month!

Awww Mrsb im so sorry your friend did that hun thats really insensitive of her! im glad your friends think so too!

I had a bit of a shitty weekend too - had to go to df aunties birthday party which i really didnt want to go to as iv been feeling exhausted lately - got there and his auntie came over to us to tell us that her daughter is pregnant - only 8 weeks but as soon as she came off the implant she caught straight away- i was really happy for her saying all the usual congratulations and asking how she is etc but when we got home df said to me that i need to stop being jealous of people being pregnant!!! I was soooooooooo shocked as im not jealous at all - i get a pang of ... well i dont know what it is but def not jealousy - as soon as I hear one of my friends are preg but im over the moon for them so we had a lil bicker but the cheeky sod said that he is jealous over his cousin being pregnant argh MEN!!! xxx

 

[MrsBroodyPant]

Cath im sorry u have had a similar experience to me over the weekend. DH was the same with me saying it doesn't matter to us if she is pregnant etc and I totally agree. He just doesn't get it. I was happy for her but was upset by the way I was told. No need for big announcements. I don't like that kind of thing. But im not jealous as im so used to people getting pregnant before me, it's happened time and time again. I bet u feel the same xxx

 

[cathgibbs]

Exactly the same hun, i cant put my finger on what it is though? Its like a sunken feeling in your stomach?? The way your friend done it was just mean though hun - she could have told you just her and you on your own before she announced it like that? xxx
