Wishing for a Christmas baby

[reedsgirl1138]

Thank you for all your support. Yes I am here alone...well my kiddos are here but they aren't really sure what to do or say and I am trying to be strong and act like I am okay but inside I am just a mess. I don't really have anyone I can talk to but you ladies as most of my friends are either pregnant or don't want anymore. I really hope I get past this anger soon...I just really wanted this to be it. I know all of you know exactly how I feel. I don't even think I am gonna ttc this month but to be honest I feel like I have already done that the only proactive things I did was the baking soda finger and start my classes...ugh I am just mad

I am so sorry hun really dont know what else I can say to you but guess all we can do is be here for you and hope you feel better soon and that the docs get off their ass and investigate this further. always here for you xxx

 

[wantingagirl]

Good to hear from you Sarah!

 

[kissyfacelala]

this is absolutely horrible Sandi!!! like everyone else I do not know what to say except I am praying for you and are here to talk and support you all the way!

many hugs to you! hang in there!! you have lots of options and the best thing to do is discuss with your doctor and take one day at a time! your BFP will come!!!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Hey there sorry for my rant..I am better today. Its just time I know and I also know God doesn't give us more than we can handle but I did let him know my plate is full. LOL. How is everyone today?

 

[MrsH1980]

Rant away, that's what were here for right? As for me, not sure this is our cycle; got a pos opk over the weekend but my no ewcm in sight
I did get a blob today (sorry for the tmi) so we'll bd tonight too but I have to be honest, DH just has not been up for it at all lately. We've always had a great sex life but he's been stressed at work and I'm starting to think maybe I don't look as great as I used to and maybe that attributing to it? He'd deny it I know but I can't shake the feeling that I need to spruce myself up a bit - I think I'm worried that if I did that and he was still too tired or whatever it would really affect my confidence...
Ahhhhh, sorry for the glum post, just can't really talk to anyone else.

Hope you gals are all doing ok???

Aww ladies, big hugs to everyone.

Mmm wow what a rollercoaster over the past 48hours

Sandi, glad your feeling a little better today, i think you need to grieve for your loss and thats not going to happen overnight. Take time and rant all you need to!

Leanne, I have similar worries. Think men also feel the pressure a bit when it comes to ttc and don't like to have nights 'dictated' to having to bd! I am sure he loves you though for much more than what you look like. Being tired and stressed at work can totally impact on wanting to dtd!

Monica when you gonna test girl? 16dpo!?!

Shona, not long until O

As for me, well was feeling totally positive until DH came home tonight. He now says he's sick and doesn't think his swimmers will be up to much
I've just got ewcm so really wanted to start bding from tonight until sat/sun, and originally he was totally on board with the idea

Think might try and sell to him that should get rid of the bad swimmers tonight to make way for good ones tomorrow, but if not I guess I haven't had a pos opk yet so could give it a rest tonight and not push

Just REALLY wanted to give this month the absolute best chance I can!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

OH Caro huni I am sorry. I hope that he gets in the "mood" soon. According to my class you need to watch you cm over the next few days...first day if excm is your peak day and then 3 days after you can still be fertile. FX I want this to be your month as well!!

Monica any chance of you testing??

Leanna I think that all our men go throught the struggle of performing through our ttc journey hang in there it will get better.

Shona hope you catch that egg as well

Mel how you feeling??

 

[kissyfacelala]

Hello Ladies! Sorry I have been sort of MIA…not much to say….and there is no chance of testing since we did not try this month because of my sinus infection, flu and fever….and even though my ticker says 17 DPO I think I am 2 DPO since on Monday I got a positive LH and ovulation cramps…and no AF in sight!! This cycle was all messed again due to travelling and my sinus infection, flu and fever I thought I had ovulated two weeks ago but no AF in sight and it is overdue now! Uggh!!!!
Yesterday I went to our family doctor to get results from my ultrasound and blood test….the good news is that all parts are normal….uterus, cervix, tubes, ovaries, vagina all in good shape….but apparently my prolactin hormone is high and my testosterone is twice of what it should be…doctor is sending me for a mri ie. check my pituitary gland and another ultrasound to check my kidneys ie. adrenal glands and then possibly sending me to a hormone specialist….I am not sure what to think since I was reading on prolactin and they say high levels suppress ovulation and causes secretion from my nipples….I do not have secretion at all and I do ovulate….I do not ovulate on the same day each cycle but I do ovulate and it does not range over many days…I ovulate anywhere between 16 to 21 days and once I ovulate my period comes 15 to 16 days later everytime….
And what are normal ranges for these hormones??? He said my testosterone level is 30 and it should be 15….and apparently high testosterone is related to PCOS…which I do not have since it would have showed on the ultrasound and I ovulate each month
Also, if you send the sample blood sample to ten different labs you will get ten different results and any blood test result should be confirmed with a second blood test
So we will see what the MRI and ultrasound brings back…and before they give me medications or whatevers I want a second blood test done….it does not make any sense!!!
I guess I am in limbo again….waiting for AF…I am taking FEMMED again…hormonal balance vitamins and once AF comes will start taking EPO and soy again or EPO and Vitex….
I have my ultrasound Friday morning and then a follow-up appointment with my doctor the following Friday….
Also getting a chest x-ray done since I am still not a 100% back to normal in terms of my sinuses and laryngitis…have this nasty cough probably should get healthy again before conceiving….

 

[caro103]

Wow Monica, what a lot to take in! At least the Dr's are interested and haven;t just fobbed you off. I'd demand a 2nd blood test too if I were you, but the extra tests sound like they'll help you understand whats going on (if anything!). Anyway hun, hope AF turns up soon so you can get TTC again and that you get healthy again!

Sandi I managed to get DH to dtd last night Hope you've had a good Birthday! x

Well, anyone know what could be going on with me!? My opk's are still negative but I didn't do one at the weekend and have been having a little bit of ewcm since before weekend. Played around with FF and it'll say I O'd on monday with dotted crosshairs which is way too early for me :shrugg: Guess will find out in morning depending on what temp does!

 

[MrsH1980]

Sandi I managed to get DH to dtd last night

me too Caro, how funny after all my grumbling LOL

Glad you got some answers Monica, hope your feeling better and that you'll be nice and healthy for next cycle (if ur not PG already of course!!)

nothing new for me, just in the boring 2ww now. Got a DRs appointment on 25th so we'll go from there.

Hope your doing ok Sandi xxx hope the rest of you ladies are doing ok?

Leanne xx

 

[wantingagirl]

Ah Monica Im so sorry all the issues that are happening for you at the moment, I hope you are back to normal soon and your AF comes soon you can get onto the next cycle. You did say you didnt at OV this cycle. Reason I ask is there any way you can be pregnant? Yeah weird that they could say it could be PCOS if you have no sysmptons, I hope they get to the bottom of it soon.

Sandi hope you are ok, thanks hun I should OV Saturday. Have you seen the doc yet?

Leanne so sorry you feel this way I get like that sometimes and far from happy with my body but im sure its just in your head like it is mine and your hubby would never think of you in that way. Maybe he is just tired but just express how important it is to you.
Good luck in the 2ww hun!!! Its funny how our emotions can start putting things into our head that doesnt exist, this can be a very stressful time and feel like im always in limbo. Its weird as I have made quite a few friends on here and sometimes feel like people come and go as they get their BFP and obviously move off the thread not to offend and im still here while see others come on and then get their quick BFP, dont get me wrong so chuffed for them but always feel at a stand still but hey ho it will happen eventually.
Caro huh men sometimes!! What do they think of by not following what they agree to at the crucial time, my hubby is the same and after OV hes back to wanting it all the time. I dont know what it is cos I explain to my hubby you wanna get pregnant but you do this and he just says he gets stressed cos he knows its time but he really wants a baby. Ah well we have to have SEX then!! lol..... I hope your ok
Im so crap at temps sorry hun, hehe to getting hubby to DTD why do I feel like im begging my hubby sometimes

Hope all you lovely ladies are good and Sandi happy birthday, what day was it on? Did you do anything?

 

[MrsH1980]

Hmmmm, loads of EWCM today?!?! Im very confused - got a positive OPK on Sunday and back to a feint line on Monday and a very feint line on Tuesday....surely I wouldn't OV so late after a LH surge? Maybe my system is just up the spout and producing EWCM whenever it wants to LOL.

Good luck catching the eggy Sarah xx

Ive had that before hun and defo wasnt OV the only thing I could put it down to was it coming out of my system. Ive also had EWCM a week after OV WTF? I would rely more on what the OPK says but bed every other day or just as regular as you can just to be sure xxx

 

[caro103]

Mmm Leanne, I've been getting sporadic ewcm this whole week, not sure whats going on! got a pos opk today (I think!) I posted in gallery if any of you can give me an opinion? (gave story in my journal )

feeling a bit confused right now as noramlly O today, ah well, poor DH will have to keep at it a while longer! Shona, I agree men are very annoying! mine still has man flu and complains that his swimmers are prob sick but I told him not to be a wuss! Maybe I should be more sypathetic but I was hoping to O today so didn't wanna miss last night, now it looks like I could of done and kept going into the weekend!

Hope 2ww goes well Leanne and Mel! Sandi hope you've managed to have a good b'day xx

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Hope all is going well, any news from anyone? I'm having a well lazy wkend, am absolutely knackered from all the bding this week

Hey Ladies

My middle child's birthday this weekend

Amber-Jayne will be 13 tomorrow (Sunday) and we're having a Birthday Party tonight. Hired a local hall, DJ and I've just finished doing the food for 60 people! Made a great big hot pink cake covered in black hearts and ribbon, looks good even if I do say so myself lol

Will show you a photo when I've taken one

TTC - AF due tomorrow/Monday and then Clomid starts on CD2 to 6. Got to go for an internal scan again on CD12 to check on my follicles. I've realised how very lucky we are to have such a good FS. This will be the 4th time out of 8 cycles that he's done a scan just before ovulation is due

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Caro so happy you got the dh to bd!!

MrsH we can have more that one lh surge during our cycle try to go with your ewcm to track your O. Goodluck.

Mel you are super lucky to have a good fs...I really think if I would have had a better doc this last little bean would have stuck!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Just wanted to take the next post..was hoping it was lucky. LOL
