Wishing for a Christmas baby

hey ladies hope everyone had a great weekend...mine was a emotional one. I am 2dpo and I really think my ticker is right for once. lol I have alot of cm still and kinda wish we would have bd on sunday but we didnt cause I was mad one of these days I will learn not to get mad until way after O time!! we did bd on sat so maybe that will have been enough. I really think I will have a hard time not testing this month unless the witch sneaks up on me early she has been showing up anywhere from cd 25 and on so I figured not to test til the 13th but not sure I will hold out that long!! anyway...hope everyone is well God bless and sticky babydust!!!:)
 
hey girls! I have been having a rough week.....i am not sure which day I am on this cycle...think I already ovulated...not sure....dark OPK and some ovulation pain...but we did not :sex: as I was in bed for two days with a fever around 100...caught a sinus infection on the plane back from Los Angeles...I am still stuffy and I have completely lost my voice...can't manage anything more than whispering :(

i have not been temping since fever obscures everything...my body is not my friend right now and the last place for a baby....so I am out this month again!!! just waiting for AF and for my body to get healthy again....

all the best to you ladies :dust:
 
Sorry you've not been well Monica - hope your feeling better soon x

Hang in there Caro, 9DPO is still v. early - hopefully there is a shy BFP waiting in the wings! FX for you!

As for me, I am on CD6 and AF has just left the building...I thought I was doing OK but I feel really depressed about TTC at the moment. We went to a family 80th on Friday night and I felt like a leper - practically everyone in the room was asking why Im not pregnant / wheres my bump / why haven't we had any children yet...I know people don't mean to offend or upset but I just felt like a broken piece of junk. Everyone telling me that I should take prenatals and I should try this and try that (all of which I have been doing since November last year thanks very much). I dunno, maybe I am just being waaaay over-sensitive but I felt like I was trapped in my worst nightmare on Friday.

I also don't know whether I should be doing anything else - should I make a preliminary appointment with the doctor to discuss concerns? I know we have only been trying for 8 months (only - it feels like a lifetime) but I am nearly 30 and I am so worried. What do you think? They might not do anything but it might be worth a try?

Sorry for the doom and gloom post girls; don't want to talk to DH about it at the moment because I know he is worried and already feeling the pressure and no-one else really knows what Im going through :nope:

Hope your all OK; looking forward to seeing the new banner :)
 
hey mrsH1980! know what you mean! it seems in my world as well everybody is pregnant or has kids and looks at me and DH like we are wierd and doing something wrong!

I do suggest going to the doctor and asking for a check of the basics....your blood and a pelvic ultrasound...DH can also get a semen analysis...our doctor is doing this for us....he said it is too early for a fertility doctor but these tests can bring some insight and if there is a problem (heaven forbid) we can start fixing it sooner than later...

I am on antibiotics right now so this whole month is down the drain :( just my luck....going for ultrasound on thurs and have to delay blood test :(
 
Sandi So sorry your weekend was emotional, mine was ok pretty quiet cept for I work every single Saturday boo hoo. Ha I have heard many women saying they pretend to make up or not get mad to :sex: hehe..... myself I have been mad at him a few times on the crucial days and I just couldnt do it was not in the mood but wished afterwards I did

Monica Im so sorry you feel so rubbish and hope you feel better again soon hun!!! Wow its nearly your wedding anniversary and you too Sandi!

Caro how are you doing?

Uh MrsH why do people do that, I got that all the time the last time. Like we are not doing everything we possibly can to conceive and I also feel everyone around me is pregnant. My sis that I am really close to is 24 weeks pregnant and I started trying before her same as last time, her first child first month, second child first month and 3rd 3 months. My aunty is also due in 4 weeks happy for them but it sucks
Thats what we are here for hun, how long have you been trying for? I know in 20's you wait for 12 months before seeking help but 6 months for 30's I had every test you can think of done so ask away if you need any advice

Thanks hun; we've been trying since last October so 8 months or so. Seeing as I am on CD7 I think I am going to book an appointment today for a few weeks time, round about the end of my cycle and just take this one as it goes, use my last pack of OPKs and see what happens.

Feeling much better today; the sun is out and I realised I need to pull myself together and get positive! Need to start a good exercise regime; started adding a lb here and there and feel a bit gross and flabby at the mo (and unattractive to DH although he tells me Im not bless him).

How are you ladies? Feeling better Monica? Anything happening on your side Sandi? Hope Caro is enjoying her hols and comes back with good news!

x x
 
Yeah we are the same if not pregnant will be moving into my 8th cycle..... I know how you feel tho last month took me 12 months we had no issues so hang on in there. You said you are 30 didnt you? So they would see you anytime now just tried not to get wrapped up in it as thats what I did and would be in tears all the time. But at the end of it cos the tests came back fine it was my peace of mind. Its funny how things work tho as went to an IVF appt that we would not get for free on nhs as hubby has a child that lives with us so we went home to save and kept on trying and missed my AF two weeks later

I feel like that I used to be quite slim and due to only working 16 hours now I eat out of boredom im 21lb heavier than I was before my last pregnancy and cant seem to shift it and hubby tells me the same but I used to excercise quite alot in the past but cant get into it now. Im not big but just feel bloated all the time.

Oh yeah forgot Caro was on hols lucky thing!

My AF due on Sunday

Mel how are you? Anyone I missed

Is Sarah coming back or did she say she was having a long break?
 
Thanks again, its good to have the reassurance!

Have just booked a Drs appointment for 25th June so now I just need to relax and take it easy this cycle (well...try LOL!). Having said that we've got a mad month ahead what with birthdays and work stuff and the world cup (DH and I are hosting 'world cup parties' for all our friends and family to come to ours and watch the England games, lets hope we do well!)

Right, off to go and sit in the chairs belonging to all the pregnant women in my office (there are A LOT of them!) - with any luck something might rub off LOL

haha I need to try that too lots of pregnant women where I work too..... Wow that should keep you busy then hoping this month will fly be, you will get your BFP and no appts will be needed. Im not really into football but if I was we wouldnt be on the same side as Im scottish!! :rofl: that would make an interesting house here as my hubby is english lol....... guess hes glad I dont like footie.
 
Evening Ladies!

Hope you are all well :D

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, we've been really busy!

Anyway, today I saw my FS who was able to confirm that it's my right tube that's currently blocked. He did an internal scan and was very pleased with my "beautiful" ovaries and happy that the standard of my eggs is not the issue here. I had lots of big follicles on both ovaries with the most dominant one currently on my right ovary. He doesn't see the blocked tube as a problem at all.

As my FS works for the NHS and the private sector also he's scheduled me for another internal scan on Saturday at the local private hospital to see what's happening before ovulation on Monday/Tuesday. He seemed very excited about the level of eggs on my ovaries and seemed pretty enthusiastic about everything!

The strange thing is (which I've googled to no avail) is that he said he'll make sure he's got his NHS prescription pad with him because he's most likely to prescribe Clomid as "it'd be a shame to miss this opportunity after the HSG". It's too late in this cycle for Clomid to be of any help so he's left me confused. I discussed it with my OH on the way home about other uses/doses of Clomid and wondered if a very high one off dose would cause multiple eggs to ovulate. Googled but found no answers at all so assume this isn't his plan. Guess I'll find out on Saturday!

Either way he's got me very excited lol
 
LOL Mel I am following you around!

MrsH I know how you feel I have been ttc for over a year now and no BFP insight. I was feeling good about this cycle but now not so sure. Good luck at your dc appt.
