Wishing, wanting, waiting.....TTC for a year PLUS!

[soph77]

Thanks Julia It is just so hard isn't it? Classroom almost finished. I was up really late last night making some behaviour posters and such. One more poster to make I think for class jobs and I'll have to shot down to office works and get them all laminated. Have to getthere extra early on Monday morning to finish before the little cherubs arrive. I'll try to remember to take some photos of the room and post them here

Hey there everybody!

Got my hubby's SA test results (FINALLY!) Only 17 million count-wise, motility was fine. So, he's being referred to a urologist. Also he's low on vitamin D and has high cholesterol. But fortunately Jaimie reminded me that you have to do a few SAs to get a true result. And the lady that gives me facials who is also suffering with I-wordness, said that her hubby had a bad result followed up by two really good results, so he wasn't an issue at all. She's getting ready to start IUI+injectibles. So.... thanks to both of them, now I'm not so worried about it.

It was kind of a relief in a weird way that I'm not the sole cause of our issues, but at the same time, it's bad because it will make things more difficult -- if he truly has low count.

Anyway, off for a wonderful vacation on Sunday, going to soak up some sun, and have a great time before we get more into the drudgery that is more I-word testing....

Hiya everyone, sorry I have been missing for a while. Small puppy has been keeping us occupied!!

Squirrel - glad the I word visit went well. I have read the same about SA though, because they are inconstant production you need more than one test to realy get an idea about what is going on.

Hi Soph - souinds like your having fun, can't wait to see the piccies of you posters

Hi tryfor hope the witch stays away,

love ya all, got to dash tidyin g the house as the in laws are about to arrive any moment!!!

 

[tryforbaby2]

Ejay, have fun with the In-Laws! And I am trying to remain positive for this cycle! (for now anyway!).....

Soph, I would love to see pictures! I bet it will be warm and caring!

Squirrel, I posted on fb! I also read that about sa's. Fingers crossed for higher counts next time! (hopefully there won't be a next time!)

 

[tryforbaby2]

Ejay, fingers crossed my dear!!!!

 

[Ejay]

Tryfor = my ticker is way out, have just finished AF and am on to the next cycle, the last 2 cycles have been shorter only about 25 days. I guess I am just doing a reset.

Had a good weekend with the in laws, went out for a lovely meal, had rather too much to drink!

hope everyone is well xx

 

[tryforbaby2]

Awww Sounds like a nice time with the In Laws! I know, I have to manually change mine all the time......lol


My temps are really weird and I think if I have another low temp tomorrow, ff is going to remove my coverline...I know I O'd when I did as I had a positive opk the day before and my cm was fertile cm and the cramping in my ovaries was intense!!! WTF?? Why is my temp dropping over a few days like this in the middle of my LP?......Doesnt make any sense?.... I have heard of "A" dip....one single dip....not this.....Gaaccck! LOL

 

[Dee7509]

Tryfor, that is unusual (I just looked at your chart). Hope it's a good sign though.

 

[tryforbaby2]

I hope my temp goes back up tomorrow, if not af must be on her way early and that something didn't do its job this cycle (corpus luteum) or follies or lining of uterus didnt thicken. It is just so confusing

Thanks Dee! Hope you are doing well! This thread is awfully slow these days....but then again 96% of us took a much needed break.......

 

[Dee7509]

Hi Tryfor, I do read the thread fairly often to keep up with everyone. This is a long journey for many of us and we have to find ways to cope. I can't believe it'll be three years for me in a couple of months...

Is the temperature cooler than normal? Could any environmental factors be affecting your temp? Like a cold spell or AC etc?

 

[CelticNiamh]

sneaking in
tryfor could it be an implantation dip! may be! its bang on time for one!! FX either way I dont think its early AF or nor will it change your OV date.

 

[tryforbaby2]

Dee, it was rigid for three days outside with temps being 3 and 4 degrees (F)....but had my heat set at 70 (F).....last night I was freezing...this morning, my temp went back up.....so confusing. I am so sorry it's coming up on three years....I am very sorry. Is there anything you and your husband doing at the moment to assist getting pregnant???....Thinking of you Dee....

Niamh, I have that idea lingering in my head, but a drop 3 days in a row?....THAT early?....Is that possible?......I see you are moving on awfully quick now! I am hoping I don't start having a LP defect....I will be crushed!

Yep you can get a dip that early, my temps the month I got my BFP were not great at all I seen better ones in earlier months, even if you dont get a BFP I say your LP will be fine, hey have you looked in to MACA at all I really think it would be great for you and DH and might just do the trick.

yep getting so close now, Tanikit has only 3 ish weeks left and LuckyD not far behind me. I was so hoping that by now we all be up the Duff 2011 will be the year though

PS I can post some infor on MACA if you want, just let me know

 

[tryforbaby2]

No havent had the time to peek to much into anything new for the time being.....still doing soy, but I keep the idea of maca in the back of my head.

I peek in on you girls sometimes.....but run out!

Hope everyone is well! Gotta run and get some groceries and drop off this rented movie!

I have just found out that my boss has just undergone IVF and is waiting on her results. I had a really strange feeling that she was going through IVF (although I have only just returned to my job after doing a different one for 2 years). I just happened to come accross her when reading a blog on infertility.

OMG i don't know quite how to deal with it, we have never got on very well and she has been a real nasty piece of work to me. I can so appreciate what she has been going through but have to hide the fact that I know what is happening when I am at work.

I feel quite mixed up

 

[tryforbaby2]

Oh Ejay I can't imagine. I hate mean boss's, and on top of it she may be pregnant. The journey is very difficult, but IF she is pregnant, maybe this baby (babies) will make her a soft, kind person. (let's hope so!).....

Have you been trying anything special every cycle???

 

[Ejay]

I have a very regular cycle, so i know oh and i always cover the right days. I have been taking EPO and Maca but i stopped taking both of them for the past 2 cycles, just wanted to give my body a break. Have realy been trying to relax and not obsess over timing and everything just to chill and enjoy being with OH.

We have booked an appointment with the doctors on monday to ask for a referral to a specialist, OH and I have put aside enough money to be able to pay private for at least some of the tests. We are going to make sure things start to move on a bit.

really hoping it's good news for you hun and the witch stays away.xx

 

[tryforbaby2]

Ejay, I am trilled to see you are looking into other options, not in 'that' way but a good way that things can be checked!!!

I think you are soooo nice and hope nothing best for you!!! Keep me posted! I'd love love love to hear your news!!!

 

[Ejay]

Thanks Tryfor, I know there is not many of us that come on here often any more but I still feel really close to everyone, I know that if I need to talk, you guys are always there and understanding.

Love you all xx

 

[tryforbaby2]

Oh Ejay!!!!!
